FRA says British Columbia seeing signs of Timber industry uptick

FRA has welcomed news that timber producers in British Columbia, Canada, are slowly returning to profitability after major damage from Pine Beetles over the past few years.

Bainbridge Island, WA, May 15, 2012 – Forestry Research Associates (FRA) has welcomed news that timber producers in British Columbia, Canada, are slowly returning to profitability after major damage from Pine Beetles over the past few years.

The news has come courtesy of industry analysis from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). The firm has recently held its Global Forest and Paper Industry Conference in Vancouver, outlining how the industry is seeing a return to its previous good fortune.

The analysts claim that the industry in the region is set to return to profitability by the end of this year or early next year. A spokesperson for PwC said, “It’s a combination of events driving it, but it’s probably a long, slow process rather than a big bang.”

“The trend is in the right direction,” he added. FRA is a research and analysis consultancy specialising in forestry and timber investments. It’s analysis partner, Peter Collins explained, “We have always had faith in Canada’s forestry industry because the demand for timber just keeps growing.”

He added, “Emerging economies such as China and India, are demanding more and more raw materials to allow them to continue to grow. Meanwhile, the US real estate market is picking up and more houses will need to be built, using timber, in the coming months and years.”

FRA claims that all this will lead to an increase in the demand for timber while a shortage in supply keeps prices growing. It is this trend that also leads FRA to support forestry investments as a good option for those who are looking for a way to diversify their investment portfolio. “Investing in plantation projects, such as the sustainable teak and eucalyptus plantations run by firms like Greenwood Management, can bring balance to a portfolio while generating very healthy returns for anyone interested in alternative investments.”

IAPAM Publishes Latest Reviews for its hCG Training

The latest reviews from physicians who have attended the IAPAM’s hCG Training Seminar in 2012 have been published.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – May 16, 2012 — The latest reviews from physicians who have attended the IAPAM’s hCG Training Seminar in 2012 have been published. Physicians proclaim that attending the IAPAM’s hCG Training Program “is money well invested.”

Physicians rave about the physician-lead hCG training (http://www.hcgtraining.com) provided at the IAPAM’s comprehensive and respected Physician hCG Training in Scottsdale, AZ. The IAPAM’s hCG Training shows physicians how to safely and profitably add $100,000+ a year in non-insurance based revenue to an existing practice, and this is the only hCG training program in North America approved for a special medical malpractice rate for those who have attended and have been certified by the IAPAM.

The International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine’s (http://www.iapam.com) hCG Training program is different than any other hCG educational program offered in North America. No other program in the U.S. offers this combination of expert-led training and a forum where the world’s physicians, of all medical specialties, come together to learn and share their experiences with hCG for weight loss. The IAPAM also offers long term support to physicians who are adding hCG and other aesthetic medicine treatments to a practice.

Unlike programs offered by private companies, attendees of the IAPAM’s hCG Training for Physicians, receive certification by the IAPAM, a voluntary professional association of physicians and supporters, which sets standards for the aesthetic medical profession.

Reviews from physicians affirm the IAPAM’s hCG faculty and content are the best. Since 2010, over 500 physicians have taken the IAPAM’s Physician hCG Medical Weight Management Training, and here are the latest reviews:

– “Jeff Russell is a fantastic speaker! He gives a lot of very useful information in a very entertaining way. He is very open and easily approachable. Coming to this program was money well invested.” ~ V. Perez-McArthur, DO (April ’12)
– “Everything about the hCG weight loss program was excellent. I have no regrets that I attended. Everything was great!” ~ A. Gay, MD (April ’12)
– “Great tips. I learn more every time I [refresh my knowledge at] the [IAPAM’s hCG] course.” ~ A. Vasquez, MD (April ’12)
– “Everything was new to me and the setting up of a practice content was most important. Definitely worth it.” ~ D. Gerard, MD (April ’12)
– “Excellent content and presentations. Very useful data and tips for setting up the [hCG] program in my clinic.” ~ S. Chowdhury, MD (April ’12)
– “Learned a lot. Look forward to implementing this [hCG program] into my practice.” ~ H. Carter, MD (April ’12)
– “hCG is a great diet. Keep up the good work of sharing information on this program with us. I also appreciated the additional information on B vitamins and the MIC injections and the enhanced “business of hCG” presentation. Thanks Jeff, great job!!!” ~ M. Gorelick, MD (April ’12)
– “[I learned] everything I wanted to know and more about hCG for weight loss!! Jeff is fantastic and makes it sound easy!!” ~ M. Tedtaotao, MD (April ’12)
– “Mr. Russell was very thorough in his presentation. He had very practical points, and [his presentation] was simple and easy [to follow]. I think he is an asset to the program.”
– “Great insight on weight loss options. Great program! Information presented in an interesting manner.” ~ S. Willham, CFNP (April ’12)
– “Value-added series that can be incorporated into an hCG program. Excellent hCG protocols. Worth it!” ~ C. Avendano (March ’12)
– “The concept of ‘group consultation’ and the business aspects of hCG [were of most importance to me]. Very worth it!!!” ~ D. Hevi, MD (March ’12)

All of the IAPAM’s 2010, 2011 and 2012 hCG Training seminars have sold out, and there are only a few spaces left in the last session before the summer, being held on June 1st, 2012 in Scottsdale, AZ, so to register please go to http://www.hcgtraining.com or contact the IAPAM at 1-800-219-5108 ext 708.

Japanese Art Dealers Rutherston & Bandini Cause a Stir With a Unique Major Exhibition of Japanese Antique Masks

London, UK. (Rutherston&Bandini ) April 10, 2012 announced anexhibition ofJapanese Antiques entitled “Japanese Noh, Kyôgen and Kagura Masks”.These rare examples of Japanese art will be on display attheirLondon gallery (Rutherston & Bandini, 5 Georgian House, 10 Bury Street, London SW1Y 6AA) from May 14th until June 29th, 2012.

Exhibition Overview

At the core of the exhibition is a private German collection of masks, at least some of which may well have come from the Toyama daimyo family and passed briefly through the hands of the legendary Japanese dealer based in Paris Tadamasa Hayashi, as well as through the Berlin Asian Art Museum over 100 years ago. These have been supplemented by the same number of masks from other collections, some with known Japanese provenance. The masks in the exhibition form a good representative selection of types (whether fiercely demonic, melancholic, serene or jocund) and have been chosen for their quality of execution and for condition. These antique Japanese masks range in date from around 1500 to 1850.The organizers are not aware of any such exhibition of Japanese Art having been held previously by a gallery in London

Certainly this offers a rare opportunity to view a unique collection of Japanese antiques not previously displayed publicly anywhere.

Aprinted and fully illustrated catalogue of the exhibition will be available for order from the gallery. This catalogue will also be viewable online from early May at the Rutherston&Bandini Japanese Art Gallery website.

Exhibition Organisers

Rutherston&Bandini are specialist dealers in Japanese Antiques and works of art, principally netsuke and inro, but including antique Japanese sword fittings, ceramics and lacquerware.

NanoMarkets Announces Upcoming Report LED Phosphor Markets – 2012 Set for May 2012 Release

NanoMarkets today has announced the addition of a new report to its publication schedule titled “LED Phosphor Markets – 2012” (Nano-541) that will be released the week of May 28th.

Glen Allen, Virginia – May 15, 2012 — Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today has announced the addition of a new report to its publication schedule titled “LED Phosphor Markets – 2012” (Nano-541) that will be released the week of May 28th. The report is available at pre-publication rates through May 29th. For additional information about the report people can visit the NanoMarkets website: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/led_phosphor_markets_2012

About the Report:

In some countries, LEDs are expected to be the dominant general lighting technology by the end of the decade. The primary driver for this transition is the high efficiency and long lifetimes of LED lighting and a major reason that many governments around the world are promoting their use through the regulatory process.

Nevertheless, this shift in technology use has not been entirely welcomed by consumers, primarily because LEDs often render colors poorly compared with the traditional incandescent bulb. Another concern is the warmth or coolness of LED light, which is not always judged attractive by consumers. Also, variations in LED color temperature vary with viewing angle, sometimes making the experience of being in an LED – lighted room less than satisfactory.

Most LED manufacturers now see these issues as being critical to the long-term success of LED lighting creating a major opportunity for firms making the LED lighting phosphors that control the color rendering and color temperatures of the LEDs. Makers of phosphor materials and related products can expect the same high growth that the LED lighting market is enjoying. In addition, NanoMarkets believes that the LED lighting market is still open to new kinds of proprietary phosphor solutions, with the potential for phosphor firms to build their brands and create protectable IP.

This new NanoMarkets report provides an in-depth analysis and forecast of the LED phosphor market in the next eight years. It builds off the extensive experience that NanoMarkets has in the area of solid-state lighting and related materials.

This report examines the latest market strategies, products and technical developments in the area of LED phosphors. We identify how performance improvements are likely to help grow addressable markets for phosphors, with an especial focus on general illumination, outdoor/street lighting and backlighting and where the opportunities are to be found to make money in the LED phosphor market.

The report also includes NanoMarkets’ assessments of the strategies of leading firms active in the LED phosphors space. And, as always with NanoMarkets reports, this report contains granular eight-year forecasts of the inorganic LED phosphors shipments in volume and value terms, with breakouts by type of phosphor. This report is required reading, not just for strategy planners at phosphor firms, but for those throughout the solid-state lighting industry.

About NanoMarkets:

NanoMarkets tracks and analyzes emerging market opportunities in energy, electronics and other markets created by developments in advanced materials. The firm is a recognized leader in industry analysis and forecasts of this kind and has been covering OLED lighting for six years.
