Denny Reed is in Art Gallery’s Artist Showcase

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is very pleased to announce that professional artist Denny Reed is the gallery’s Featured Artist.

Jupiter, FL, USA (June 15, 2013) — Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is very pleased to announce that professional artist Denny Reed is the gallery’s Featured Artist. She will now be featured in the Artist Showcase for the next 30 days.

Denny Reed is an emerging female artist who is located both in South Florida and New York. Prior to Denny becoming an artist she had more than 25 years’ experience owning an international seminar business that taught emotional intelligence and self-development courses. From this experience she believes that she received the gift of a deep compassion for our humanness which is very evident in her works.

Denny’s focus in her art is the emotional and spiritual connection to life through the eyes of a Shaman. Denny states this about the Shaman influence in her art, “This focus touches all of my artwork as I believe the natural world helps interpret the feminine and masculine energy in a balanced way. Achieving this balance is an important key to having less stress and a better quality of life and as a seminar teacher my extensive experience showed me much evidence of this necessity with my clients as balance raises self-esteem.

As a self-taught artist she began painting to express what she was feeling. What emerged was a deeper inner truth that she was delighted to discover and with this, her life path changed direction. Collectors of her art feel the same strong resonance of the energies that she accesses and want to feel it as a daily reminder within their homes.

Denny says this about her art, “I am committed to expressing my inner world that I find in Shamanic personal development work. This emotional and spiritual journey is important to me. I feel closeness to the energies that I access. My artwork satisfies and fulfills my hunger for a deeper conscious state of being. It is raw, alive, bold, mysterious and sometimes dark. It speaks to me and it speaks for me. I hear my soul.” Denny’s website is http://www.dennyreed.com.

Financial Architect® “The Fastest Way to Legally Raise Capital – Guaranteed!”

Leave a comment

It has just been reported in “The Private Capital Access PCA Index Q2, 2013 report in partnership with Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp., measures the demand for capital and financing activity for privately-held businesses. Privately held businesses continue to find it difficult to raise new financing in the current business environment, according to 59 percent of small business owners who responded in the second quarter survey results. Only 33 percent of those who applied for business loans from a bank were successful. The research also shows that many small business owners are tapping into their personal assets to fill financing gaps with 41% of business owners saying they transferred personal assets to their business over the last three months.

URALCHEM confirmed its commitment to the UK market

Leave a comment

URALCHEM has successfully exhibited at its fourth Cereals event in Lincoln, UK. The company’s new water soluble products were well received by the participants and visitors of the trade show.

Lincoln, UK (June 14, 2013) — URALCHEM has successfully exhibited at its fourth Cereals event in Lincoln, UK. The company’s new water soluble products were well received by the participants and visitors of the trade show.

Although at the moment the demand for soluble fertilizers in the UK is not particularly large, it is well established, and URALCHEM wants its UK customers to know that it is now supplying these products. Soluble fertilizers are primarily used in greenhouse farming; some interest is also coming from liquid fertilizer producers who want to manufacture speciality and added-value products.

The United Kingdom and Ireland remain strategic markets for URALCHEM’s nitrogen based fertilizers. Due to the weather conditions here, the UK market demand has been volatile, when even normally regular seasonal purchases shifted by a couple of months. However, the company’s position is to remain a reliable supplier to its customers and to keep and grow long-established partnership with them.

Graham Dunn, URALCHEM’s Agent in the United Kingdom and Ireland, said, “We have seen a lot of interest to our products, including the NS 30:7 that we first introduced to the UK market a year ago. URALCHEM is one of the first Russian producers to declare that fertilizer should not be seen as a commodity. The company employs highly qualified agronomists and chemists to develop the precisely formulated fertilizers that farmers need. Today we have a large portfolio of speciality products which we want our customers to get to know and use.”

“It is important for UK to recognize that it is part of an inter-connected global market. Today businesses have to compare markets globally: for example, the UK fertilizer market is 5 million tonnes and the one in Brazil 30 million tonnes. Manufacturers will send their products to those who are prepared to pay higher prices. It is already happening, and traditional products destined for the European market, such as calcium ammonium nitrate, are being diverted to Brazil. So, monitoring and responding to global trends will provide British farmers with a better guarantee that their business will survive and prosper.”

Bunny Sigler Releases New Single “Forgive and Forget” June 18 on all Major Digital Music Platforms

Leave a comment

New Single Marks First Collaboration Between Business Partners Sigler and Entertainment Attorney Lloyd Remick

Los Angeles, CA, June 13, 2013 – Grammy and multiplatinum producer/singer/songwriter and recording artist Bunny Sigler has announced plans for his newest single release “Forgive and Forget,” a song written by his longtime friend, manager, business partner and attorney Lloyd Remick, that will be released on all digital music retailers on June 18, 2013. After 40 years of working side by side, Sigler and Remick collaborate for the first time as songwriters to share a story that touches the hearts of many.

“Forgive and Forget” dares to seek its relation to those who have mistakenly experienced a one-time indiscretion, pleading for his love to simply ‘forgive and forget.’ The single will be available on CDBaby.com and iTunes on June 4 and is currently available on Bun-Z Music and Records website at: http://www.bunzmusicandrecords.com.

Four decades later, the two continue to produce music in hopes of inspiring others, but never had Remick proposed the idea of producing his very own song. He came to Sigler with these sorrowful yet beautiful lyrics, and Sigler fell in love with the story. “Forgive and Forget” reaches those who have experienced a one-time infidelity and have from there on out, lived life of regret and pain. This song, and all other songs Remick and Sigler have composed, convey such real-life situations and evoke strong emotion.

“I believe that the music Bunny is singing can help change the world,” said Remick. “I know it might sound a little idealistic, but I believe music has the power to unite us.”

Sigler and Remick aim at providing emotional tales for their audience. In “Forgive and Forget,” they uncover a perspective of the story that has never before been told through song. As for telling real-life stories—this latest single will reveal just that.

NanoMarkets Issues New Report on Opportunities for Smart Windows

Leave a comment

NanoMarkets today announced the release of its new report, “Worldwide Smart Windows Markets 2013-2020.”

Glen Allen, Virginia – June 13, 2013 — Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced the release of its new report, “Worldwide Smart Windows Markets 2013-2020.” This report analyzes and forecasts opportunities for smart (self-dimming) windows in residential buildings, commercial real estate, automobiles and trucks, aircraft and public transportation. It also includes more than 70 exhibits providing detailed market projections – in both value and volume (square meters) terms — with breakouts by technology and applications. Technology coverage includes: passive retrofit films, thermochromics, and photochromics, along with PDLC, SPD and electrochromics. Both film and glass products are included.

Firms mention in the report include: 3M, Asahi Glass, Audi, BMW, Boeing, Cardinal, Chromogenics, Corning, DuPont, DuPont Teijin, Garware, Guardian, Gentex, GKN, GlasNovations, Glassonice, Innovative Glass, InvisiShade, LTI, Mercedes, Mitsubishi, NSG/Pilkington, Pleotint, Polytronix, PPG, Pro Display, RavenBrick, Research Frontiers, Sage, Saint-Gobain, Samsung, Scienstry, Sekisui, SKC, SmartGlass, Solutia/Eastman Chemical, Schott, SPD Control Systems, SwitchLite, Switch Materials, Toray, US e-Chromics, Velux, View, Vision Systems, Volkswagen, Xinology and Zeledyne.

NanoMarkets estimates that the market for smart windows is about $2.3 billion today, growing to $4.7 billion by 2018 and $5.3 billion by 2020.

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

The firm has announced that it will be co-hosting a webinar on Smart Windows with the FlexTech Alliance on Wednesday, June 26th of this month. Persons interested in registering to attend may do so at https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/519180638

From the Report:

– NanoMarkets’ research indicates that smart windows still have to overcome a perception problem. Many Architects and construction firms still tend to view smart windows as expensive and low performing. Another trap for smart windows companies is misreading the recovery in the real estate markets around the world. This may turn out to be temporary. If so smart windows firms may overinvest and see a rapid decline in profitability if real estate markets go into a slump again.

– NanoMarkets believes that the fastest growing market for smart windows over the period being considered will be for active smart window glass. This is already a substantial market – just over $1 billion – and is expected to reach $2.7 billion by 2018. Active glass windows combines the transparency of glass with full control of both light and heat and can be used both for buildings and vehicles.

– While the US will continue to be the largest market for smart windows, China is where the greatest growth opportunities in the smart windows sector will be found. Currently the market for smart windows in China is around $285 million, growing to $740 million in 2018. Many of the new commercial buildings in China are LEED-certified, making them very suitable for smart windows use. Also, these buildings are designed by large Western architectural firms with a strong familiarity with smart windows. In addition, the Chinese market for luxury cars – the kind of car most likely to use smart windows — is growing fast and will soon overtake the U.S. market. We expect that by 2020, China will account for 23.8 percent of the smart windows market in cars and light automobile vehicles followed by the US at 21.8 percent. It also seems likely that as smart windows technology is transferred to China, new Chinese smart windows firms will begin to emerge.

About NanoMarkets:
NanoMarkets tracks and analyzes emerging market opportunities in solid-state lighting, 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 the smart glass space for more than five years.

Leave a comment

“Shark Tank” star Barbara Corcoran is the special featured guest on the next edition of Deanne DeMarco’s radio show. The program, “Today’s Inspiring Women,” airs noon Pacific on Thursday on the VoiceAmerica’s Radio Network.

Phoenix, AZ, June 13, 2013 – Deanne DeMarco’s special guest for her high-energy radio show is one of the most high-profile businesswomen in America—Barbara Corcoran of ABC’s hit TV show, “Shark Tank.”

Barbara joins Deanne Demarco on next Thursday’s episode of “Today’s Inspiring Women,” the uplifting and entertaining hour-long show which airs weekly at 12 noon Pacific on the VoiceAmerica Empowerment Radio network, Thursday, June 20, 2013 http://www.voiceamerica.com/show/2182/todays-inspiring-women

Barbara Corcoran’s credentials include straight D’s in high school and college and twenty jobs by the time she turned twenty-three. It was her next job that would make her one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the country when she took a $1,000 loan to start The Corcoran Group. She parlayed the loan into a multi-billion-dollar business, the biggest real estate empire in New York.

As one of the “Sharks” on “Shark Tank,” Barbara has ponied up her own money and invested in more than a dozen businesses, competing to make those deals for all to see, then shepherding them to success.

Her newest book, “Shark Tales: How I Turned $1,000 Into a Billion Dollar Business,” takes you behind the scenes of her life and business and her ‘seen on TV’ venture capitalism. Her previous best-seller was titled, “If You Don’t Have Big Breasts, Put Ribbons on Your Pigtails: And Other Lessons I Learned from My Mother.”

Barbara is famously brash and blunt, bold and courageous, and a brilliant identifier of opportunity and talent that is often invisible to others.

Deanne DeMarco asks Barbara about the early days of her career and gets her best advice for starting, growing, and expanding businesses, and converting ideas and “dreams” into fortunes. She seeks for Barbara’s advice for building a personal brand and the importance of bringing fun into the business day. And, of course, she gets Barbara to reveal some “Shark Tank” behind the scenes stories.

Deanne DeMarco, who has 20 successful years as a business coach, speech coach and keynote speaker ( http://www.Breaking-Boundaries.com) , said, “Each week I interview extraordinary and inspiring women who may not be household names but are business and entrepreneurial rising stars. For this show I’m delighted to have one of the best-known businesswomen in America share time with me and my audience.”

The special guest for the second half of Deanne DeMarco’s show is Deanne herself!
Deanne has used innovative strategies—drawn from successful experiences as a scientist, college instructor, management trainer, Fortune 500 manager, author and entrepreneur—to help business executives and individuals break through personal and career roadblocks.

This week she talks about coaching. What is it? What are the benefits? What’s the difference between coaching, mentoring, training and counseling? How do you know if you need a coach? And much, much more—including the two-minute business coaching challenge, and the two-minute personal coaching challenge.

Barbara Corcoran and Deanne DeMarco. What a powerful combination. Don’t miss “Today’s Inspiring Women.” Thursday at noon Pacific on the VoiceAmerica Empowerment Channel Radio

?“Today’s Inspiring Women” airs Thursdays at noon Pacific / 2 PM Central / 3PM Eastern   on the VoiceAmerica Empowerment Channel Radio.

Jazz Saxophonist Hulon Releases New Radio Single “Two in the Morning” to Smooth Jazz Stations Across The United States

Leave a comment

Smooth jazz and R&B saxophonist Hulon has returned with his newest single, “Two in the Morning” from his latest album After Hours.

Los Angeles, CA, June 13, 2013 – Smooth jazz and R&B saxophonist Hulon has returned with his newest single, “Two in the Morning” from his latest album After Hours. The single is currently available on iTunes and premiered at smooth jazz and urban contemporary radio stations June 3rd with a soon to be released music video to accompany that will be released later in June.

After the success of his debut album, First Impressions, Hulon’s most recent album, After Hours, has combined passion and confidence creating Hulon’s best tracks to date. “Two in the Morning” is the third single off of After Hours featuring Howard Hewitt on vocals who is a Grammy-award winner from Shalamar and Blood, Sweat & Tears. Also featured on “After Hours,” is 2012’s “The Voice” contestant and lyricist Gary Foote on their rendition of the Heatwave classic, “Always And Forever.”

Believing that “versatility is survivability,” Hulon breaks the mold of the typical urban jazz musician by showcasing a variety of styles and blending his love for the emotional healing power of music and the physical healing that he does. From hip-hop and country to orchestral and classical music, he’s influenced by every genre that inspires his versatility. He says, “I want to be inspiring to children and a good role model to them the way I have strived to be with my own kids. I’m really enjoying this journey every step of the way. As with medicine, I get great personal joy and satisfaction having people appreciate what I do. My time in the office is devoted to physical healing. But when I’m recording or playing live onstage, that’s when the spiritual healing begins.”

Algorithmic Trading, App Development, Financial Markets: Edgar Perez’s The Speed Traders Has it All

Edgar Perez, Author, The Speed Traders: An Insider’s Look at the New High-Frequency Trading Phenomenon That is Transforming the Investing World, Published by in English by McGraw-Hill Inc. (2011), Mandarin by China Financial Publishing House (2012), and Bahasa Indonesia by Kompas Gramedia (2012) and Course Director, The Speed Traders Workshop 2012 (Hong Kong, Sao Paulo, Seoul, Kuala Lumpur, Warsaw, Kiev, Beijing and Shanghai).

New York City, NY, USA (June 13, 2013) — Reviews at Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/dp/0071768289) predominantly offer top ratings for The Speed Traders (http://www.TheSpeedTraders.com) by Edgar Perez, a global speaker on high-frequency trading; “The Speed Traders is a clear and informative read that can be useful to both seasoned industry professionals and those who are only exploring the financial industry.”

“One of the least explained areas of finance is high frequency trading and Edgar Perez’s book, The Speed Traders, gives an extensive overview of this topic. The insightful descriptions of the daily activities of the market and their role in the lives of securities dealers allow it to reveal the methods that traders use. The book utilizes interviews with recognized industry professionals and a timeline of the evolution of speed trading to provide the reader with a great idea on what speed trading is and how to use it. Some of the major focusing points of the book are the modern applications of speed trading. These applications are not only explained through examples and interviews but also in a clear way that excludes confusing industry jargon and paints a clear picture of the topic at hand.”

“The Speed Traders, written by Edgar Perez, offers cutting-edge intelligence on the relatively concealed industry of High-Frequency-Trading. The substantial foundation of HFT is laid out and combined with thorough interviews to make sense of the complicated technicalities in HFT. Perez gives the whole picture by critically defining HFT, charting its inconspicuous emanation into the securities market, breaking down the flash crash of 2010, forecasting the indisputable role that HFT will play in the financial world, and perhaps most importantly, walking the reader through 6 different evaluations with actual high frequency traders. The interviews were the most valuable asset in making this industry understandable. The first person narrative is key because it’s easy to comprehend and relatively scarce in current literature for many reasons, two of which are that traders are reluctant to disclose strategies on generating alpha and the barriers of entry to the HFT industry are so high that there is only a limited amount of traders that actually know what they are talking about.”
