URALCHEM has registered its calcium nitrate in accordance with REACH requirements

Leave a comment

URALCHEM has registered its anhydrous calcium nitrate with the European Chemicals Agency in accordance with the European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use (EC 1907/2006), which deals with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical substances (REACH).

Moscow, Russia (July 18, 2013) — URALCHEM has registered its anhydrous calcium nitrate with the European Chemicals Agency in accordance with the European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use (EC 1907/2006), which deals with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical substances (REACH). This registration allows the company to seamlessly deliver the product onto the EU market.

Anhydrous calcium nitrate Ca(NO3)2 is a new product for the company and was launched at the company’s plant in Kirovo-Chepetsk. Currently, calcium nitrate is widely used as an additive in concrete and construction mixes, as a constituent of process fluids in the petroleum industry and as raw material for the chemical industry.

The product can also be used as fertilizer. It contains nitrate nitrogen and calcium in the best form for absorption by plants. Among the useful properties of calcium is its ability to increase the strength of cell walls. Use of calcium nitrate increases the yield by 10-15% and significantly improves consumer quality of vegetables and fruit. It also stimulates root development, especially the development of root hairs. Calcium nitrate aids the formation of membranes and strengthens cell walls of plants; it stimulates enzyme activity and metabolism; it also promotes photosynthesis and speeds up the transportation of hydrocarbons and nitrogen assimilation in plants. Usage of the product increases plants’ resistance to environmental stress factors as well as fungal and bacterial diseases.

“Compliance with the requirements of the REACH regulation is a necessary condition for the supply and turn over of chemical substances on the EU market. URALCHEM is closely following developments in this area, and strictly complies with all requirements concerning circulation of chemicals in the EU”, commented Tatiana Rozarenova, Head of Customers and Regulators Department at URALCHEM.

Today, the REACH regulation is one of the most complex technical regulations in the European Union. In 2010, URALCHEM registered 27 substances according to the requirements of the regulation and became one of the first Russian manufacturers in the chemical industry to submit data on its products to the European Chemicals Agency.

SEC Enforcement Issues in the World’s Most Highly Sophisticated Market Structure at HFT Conference

Leave a comment

Golden Networking brings Tech2Trade Expo 2013 (www.Tech2TradeExpo.com), World’s Most Influential Alternative Investments Conference Series, including High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013, “Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges,” New York City, London, Chicago, Singapore and Frankfurt (www.High-Frequency-Trading-Conference.com).

New York City, NY, USA (July 18, 2013) — Mary Jo White, the recently named chairman of the Securities and Exchanges Commission, had the opportunity to highlight the new priorities for the agency. Enforcement and high-frequency trading figured prominently in the brief to-do-list she presented to members of the Senate Banking Committee.

Further strengthening the enforcement function of the SEC, fair but also bold and unrelenting, was top of mind in her presentation. Investors and all market participants, she said, needed to know that the playing field of the markets was level and that all wrongdoers, individual and institutional, of whatever position or size, would be aggressively and successfully pursued by the SEC. Strong enforcement, she noted, was necessary for investor confidence and was essential to the integrity of financial markets. Proceeding aggressively against wrongdoers was not only the right thing to do, but it also would serve to deter the sharp and unlawful practices of others who must be made to think twice, and stop in their tracks, rather than risk discovery, pursuit, and punishment by the SEC.

The SEC needed, she added, to be in a position to fully understand all aspects of today’s high-speed, high-tech, and dispersed marketplace so that it could be wisely and optimally regulated, which meant without undue cost and without undermining its vitality. High frequency trading, complex trading algorithms, dark pools, and intricate new order types raised for her many questions and concerns. Were they problematic for retail and non-institutional investors? Did they result in unnecessary volatility, or create an uneven playing field? Or did these modern-day features bring benefits such as efficiency, price reduction, and healthy competition to our markets? Did they do all of these things? The experts and studies to date, she claimed, had not been consistent or definitive in their observations and findings about whether and to what extent harm was caused by the current market structure and practices. There must be a sense of urgency brought to addressing these issues to understand their impact on investors and the quality of the markets so that the appropriate regulatory responses could be made. Finally, chairman White committed herself to work not only to ensure that the SEC had the cutting-edge technology and expertise necessary to enable it to keep pace with the markets and its responsibilities to monitor, regulate, and enforce the securities laws, but also to see around the corner and anticipate issues.

To further elaborate on SEC enforcement issues in the world’s most highly sophisticated market structure, Robert Cohen, Assistant Director of Market Abuse Unit, Division of Enforcement, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, will keynote High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 New York City (http://www.HFTLeadersForum.com), July 30th, as part of Tech2Trade Expo 2013 New York City (http://www.Tech2TradeExpo.com).

Cohen joined the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2004. He has been involved in significant enforcement actions involving investment advisers and companies, insider trading, market manipulation, public company accounting and financial disclosure violations. Currently, he is responsible for supervising investigations of large-scale market conduct. Prior to joining the SEC, Cohen was in private practice and served as a law clerk to the Honorable Alexander Williams, Jr., United States District Court for the District of Maryland. He received his J.D. from New York University School of Law, where he served on the Law Review, and received a B.S. from Cornell University.

Golden Networking’s High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 will examine the speed trading industry from various angles, in an opened and unbiased environment highly conducive to networking. Topics to be discussed at High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 will include:

Lessons to be Learned from Flash Crash, BATS, NASDAQ & Knight Capital at HFT Conference in New York

Leave a comment

Golden Networking brings Tech2Trade Expo 2013 (www.Tech2TradeExpo.com), World’s Most Influential Alternative Investments Conference Series, including High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013, “Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges,” New York City, London, Chicago, Singapore and Frankfurt (www.High-Frequency-Trading-Conference.com).

New York City, NY, USA (July 18, 2013) — Shell-shocked from the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, retail investors have been welcomed to the post-2008 world by a string of structural hiccups that has further eroded confidence in the safety and soundness of the increasingly-complex capital markets. According to FOX Business, with the Flash Crash and the Facebook fiasco still within view, the latest challenge to investor confidence came last August in the form of a software glitch at Knight Capital Group that caused the market maker to take a stunning pretax loss of $461 million and launch a frantic search for a lifeline. The aftermath has investing professionals concerned about the ongoing retreat of retail investors and grasping for potential solutions to restore confidence in the system.

“We’ve seen enough of these computer mistakes since the Flash Crash that it makes you wonder the impact of computer trading on the market,” Robert Steven Kaplan, a professor at Harvard and former vice chairman at Goldman Sachs (GS), said. Darrell Duffie, a finance professor at Stanford, also said the Knight Capital incident could “raise concerns that the May 6 Flash Crash risks still exist.”

If nothing else, the Knight Capital trading glitch underscores the complexity of today’s capital markets, which have become increasingly dominated by complicated trading algorithms. “Consumers don’t understand markets any longer so they increasingly distrust our stock markets and are withdrawing,” David Weild, a senior advisor at Grant Thornton and former vice chairman at the Nasdaq Stock Market, wrote. “Deregulation stimulated competition but in extremis: The computer arms race that ensued, enabled by the SEC, has introduced a level of complexity and behaviors that is undermining investor confidence.”

Lessons to be learned from Flash Crash, BATS, NASDAQ and Knight Capital incidents are at the heart of the keynote speech Edgar Perez, author of The Speed Traders and the forthcoming Knightmare on Wall Street, will give to attendees at High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 New York City (http://www.HFTLeadersForum.com), July 30th, part of Tech2Trade Expo 2013 New York City (http://www.Tech2TradeExpo.com).

Perez is widely regarded as the preeminent global expert in the specialized area of high-frequency trading. He is author of The Speed Traders, An Insider’s Look at the New High-Frequency Trading Phenomenon That is Transforming the Investing World, published in English by McGraw-Hill Inc. (2011), published in Mandarin by China Financial Publishing House (2012), and Investasi Super Kilat: Pandangan Orang dalam tentang Fenomena Baru Frekuensi Tinggi yang Mentransformasi Dunia Investasi, published in Bahasa Indonesia by Kompas Gramedia (2012).

Perez is course director of The Speed Traders Workshop 2012, How High Frequency Traders Leverage Profitable Strategies to Find Alpha in Equities, Options, Futures and FX (Hong Kong, Sao Paulo, Seoul, Kuala Lumpur, Warsaw, Kiev, New York, Singapore, Beijing, Shanghai) and was Adjunct Professor at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University, where he taught Algorithmic Trading and High-Frequency Finance. He contributes to The New York Times and China’s International Finance News and Sina Finance.

Perez has been interviewed on CNBC Cash Flow, CNBC Squawk Box, BNN Business Day, CCTV China, Bankier.pl, TheStreet.com, Leaderonomics, GPW Media, Channel NewsAsia Business Tonight and Cents & Sensibilities.

Varsity Tutors Selects Monthly Scholarship Winners for 2013 College Scholarship Contest

Leave a comment

Varsity Tutors, the premier private tutoring and test prep service, has chosen four more winners in its 2013 monthly college scholarship contest.

St. Louis, MO, July 17, 2013 – Varsity Tutors, the premier private tutoring and test prep service, has chosen four more winners in its 2013 monthly college scholarship contest.

The company has selected and awarded a $1,000 scholarship prize to one student each month in March, April, May, and June.

The Varsity Tutors College Scholarship Contest gives students nationwide a monthly opportunity to submit an essay in response to a unique prompt to compete for a $1,000 scholarship to any accredited, post-secondary institution of their choice. Once entries are approved by the company, they are published on the Varsity Tutors website and students are encouraged to share their essays via social media to acquire as many votes for their submissions as they can; Facebook likes, Tweets, and Google+ shares are all valid forms of voting. The top five submissions with the most votes by the end of the voting period are then reviewed by the company, one of which is selected as the final winner. The entry period lasts from the 1st–15th of every month followed by the voting period, which takes place from the 16th through the end of the month.

Brandon Boyd (Martinez, Calif.), Samantha Swift (Largo, Fla.), Alexandra Benton (Lehigh Acres, Fla.), and Sarah Campbell (Ocean Springs, Miss.) were selected as the March, April, May, and June winners, respectively.

We are proud to have created a scholarship that will help talented students attend college.”
