The Divorce Handbook Helps Reduce Legal Fees and Stress

Donald Baker’s book, The Divorce Handbook: How to Put the Worst Behind You – Quickly, Fairly, and Finally is a comprehensive guide to the emotional and legal struggles of divorce. The first three chapters are available for free at bakerandbakerlaw.com

About The Divorce Handbook
The Divorce Handbook covers topics of concern for someone going through divorce – from custody and support questions to property division guidelines. Baker has simplified the process so that divorce need not be needlessly painful—or expensive.

“Going through separation and divorce is a traumatic, life-altering experience. It’s difficult enough from an emotional standpoint,” Baker explains, “On top of everything else, there are grave and consequential issues and decisions you must face which will affect the rest of your life. It’s critical that you obtain good legal advice.”

While many assume that a book written by a lawyer would hold only legal advice, much of the advice is how to approach the emotional conflicts that are likely to come up in separation. For example, the author reveals how to explain divorce to children so that they do not feel they are at fault. Baker’s goal with the book, above all, is to make divorce as smooth an experience as possible: “I sincerely hope that you find this booklet useful, as many thousands already have.”

Now in its sixth year, Winter Wonderland is London’s largest Christmas fair, and offers some major attractions for locals and tourists alongside the usual array of rides, markets and food and drink stalls. The event spans Hyde Park and the adjoining Kensington Gardens .

The centerpiece of the event is the massive ice rink, currently under construction around Hyde Park’s bandstand. The rink will be lit up by 108,000 pea lights. One of the other regular attractions, Zippos Circus, returns with a brand new show for 2012 entitled ‘Cirque Berserk’, a showcase for stunt artists and old-fashioned circus daredevils. A 53-metre high ferris wheel will dominate the skyline.

If you just plan to wander around soaking up the atmosphere, entry to Winter Wonderland is free. However, tokens have to be purchased for the big wheel and other rides. Tokens for the ice rink cost between £10.50-£13.50 for adults, and £8.50-£9 for children. A spin on the giant ferris wheel costs £8 for adults and £6 for children.

Further information is available at LondonTown.com. The website has also announced details of reduced rates on selected hotels in London. All the hotels taking part are within walking distance of Hyde Park.

One of the hotels in London offering a special offer on rooms is the luxury Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park London, just ten minutes’ walk from Hyde Park, is offering a 60% discount on double rooms, making the cost of a night’s stay £307.

For those on a tighter budget, the Thistle Marble Arch Hotel is currently offering guests a 91% discount on their usual double room rate, bringing the cost of a night’s stay down to just £90. The Thistle is within easy walking distance of Hyde Park.

NanoMarkets Issues New Report Analyzing Market Potential for Self-Cleaning Windows

NanoMarkets has today issued a report titled, “Self-Cleaning Windows Markets – 2013.”

Glen Allen, Virginia – November 19, 2012 — Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets has today issued a report titled, “Self-Cleaning Windows Markets – 2013.” In the report the firm projects that the market for self-cleaning windows will triple in revenue from current levels to around $1 billion (USD) in revenue by the year 2018 as a result of improved technology as well as important energy sector and demographic megatrends.

Additional details about the report are available at: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/self_cleaning_window_markets_2013.

This report provides an in-depth analysis of the worldwide smart-cleaning windows market with coverage of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic technologies, as well as the latest attempts to use nanomaterials and biomaterials in this sector. Detailed eight-year revenue forecasts are included with break outs by type of building, type of self-cleaning technology and whether windows are installed in new builds or retrofits. The forecasts also break out the windows themselves and coatings that are sold directly to end users and glazing professionals.

The organizations discussed include: Balcony Systems, Cardinal, Hypho Technology, International Trading & Consulting, nanoShell, NSG (Pilkington), Cyndan Chemicals, Lotus Leaf Coatings, NanoPhos, PPG, RainAway, Reactive Surfaces, Shanghai Huzheng, Saint-Gobain, Viridian and Xerox.

More from the report:

Self-cleaning windows will experience increased demand because of building codes that require much higher levels of energy efficiency. Zero-energy building mandates for self-cleaning windows — prevalent in Europe — are especially important because solar energy transmission through windows must be finely optimized. Energy efficiency in solar homes and offices can also be boosted by using the same self-cleaning coatings that have been developed for windows on solar panels.

Meanwhile, self-cleaning windows continue to improve in performance. Entirely new kinds of self-cleaning coatings are beginning to emerge that will offer enhanced capabilities and attract a wider customer base for self-cleaning windows. Reactive Surfaces is developing self-cleaning surfaces using special enzymes, while Lotus Leaf Coatings is developing self-cleaning surfaces using nano-patterning.

Even conventional self-cleaning technologies have now reached “industrial strength” and their performance is good enough for commercial buildings whereas before they have been used previously primarily in residential buildings. Higher performing self-cleaning windows are finally able to make a serious contribution to lowering maintenance costs, which will attract professional building managers and not just homeowners. For similar reasons, self-cleaning windows will also be of growing usefulness in regions where the population is becoming elderly. While sales of self-cleaning windows outside of the residential sector are not sizable now, they will head towards $350 million by 2018.

The report also notes that self-cleaning windows technology fits in well with the general trend towards more multifunctional intelligence. NanoMarkets foresees the growing incorporation of self-dimming, self-repairing and photovoltaic capabilities into a single glazing unit designed for maximal energy efficiency. And the firm also believes self-cleaning windows as being a perfect fit with such combinations. The report projects that by 2018, advanced multifunctional window systems of this kind will generate around $100 million in revenues.

About NanoMarkets:

NanoMarkets tracks and analyzes emerging markets in energy, electronics and other areas created by developments in advanced materials. The firm is the recognized leader in industry analysis and forecasts for the windows and glass industry and has published reports on a variety of smart glass.
