The Elections are Here! It is Time to Take a Stand! It is Time to VOTE!

As the largest democracy in the world goes to elections this month, Prestige Group associates with a Bangalore-based Designer to put together a campaign to get every Citizen of India, to go out and Vote!

Bangalore, India, April 09, 2014 — 2014 will witness one the most critical and decisive elections in the history of India. It’s time to shift from passive acceptance to active participation. YOU VOTE. YOU DECIDE. is a call to action campaign, propelling urban, educated India to come out and vote. Design has immense power to impact change. By transforming the billboards in the city of Bangalore through this bold and thought-provoking campaign, Tania Singh Khosla, a city-based designer, (Founder of Brand Design Firm tsk Design) has attempted to prod people out of their lull, to take notice, think and then hopefully, act.

It is estimated that there are around 100 million first time voters this year, and through this campaign Tania, tries to play her part by creating an impact in dressing up the city for the upcoming elections. The massive billboards across the city will provide an exciting and potent canvas for the YOU VOTE. YOU DECIDE. campaign.

The Prestige Group, recently voted as one of the most trusted brands in Indian Real Estate, is helping Tania & her team dress up the city, as a part of its CSR Activity. The company will share a few prominent billboards earmarked for their routine promotions across the city, for this initiative. “Through this campaign, we wish to remind citizens that voting is the absolute power that each one of us has in deciding the country’s and our own future. Prestige’s commitment to quality has been derived from taking responsibility for our actions. It is with this in mind that we wish to impress upon the citizens of our city too, and remind them about their responsibility towards the country” says Uzma Irfan, Executive Director, Corporate Communications, Prestige Group.

In response to the fervor of the current election, the clutter of political debate and character bashing, this is an attempt to make people sit and take notice of a SIMPLE and powerful thought: we are ALL deeply concerned about the future of India – our future. EACH one of us is empowered to decide that future through the voice of our vote. We should CELEBRATE this freedom – it is a privilege. We can do this by exercising our RIGHT to vote…

Remember YOU VOTE. YOU DECIDE.

New NanoMarkets Report Projects Smart Windows Market to Exceed $750 million by 2019

According to a new study by the industry analyst firm NanoMarkets – “Smart Windows Markets: 2014-2021” — revenues from smart windows will reach $766 million by 2019 and then ramp up to $1.1 billion by 2021.

Glen Allen, Virginia (April 8, 2014) — According to a new study by the industry analyst firm NanoMarkets – “Smart Windows Markets: 2014-2021” — revenues from smart windows will reach $766 million by 2019 and then ramp up to $1.1 billion by 2021. In addition, the related – but more mature – market for smart automotive mirrors will reach $1.4 billion in 2019.

Details of the report are available at: http://www.nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/smart-windows-markets-2014-2021.

About the report:

NanoMarkets has been providing coverage of the smart windows market for six years and this report brings together the latest data from NanoMarkets’ ongoing forecasts in this sector. The report provides eight-year market forecasts in volume (square meters) and value ($ million) terms for electrochromic, photochromic, thermochromic, SPD and PDLC windows, along with projections for the smart auto mirror sector.

In these forecasts, breakouts are provided for automotive (cars and trucks), public transport, aerospace, residential construction and commercial construction for each of the key smart windows technologies. We also assess the latest product market strategies of the key suppliers of smart windows. Some of the companies discussed in this report include: 3M, Asahi Glass, BASF, Chromogenics, DuPont, Eastman Chemical/Solutia, GE, Gentex, Guardian Industries, Hitachi, NSG, Pleotint, PPG, Research Frontiers, Sage, Saint-Gobain, Scienstry, Southwall, Solvay, Suntek, SWITCH Materials, Toray, US e-Chromics, and View.

Findings from the report:

The smart windows sector will be dominated by active technologies over the next decade despite their higher cost. This is because of the ability of smart windows technologies to provide instantaneous response to user needs as natural light conditions change. Although passive smart windows technologies will continue to expand throughout the forecasting period covered by the report, NanoMarkets expects that they will never be much more than a niche.

The report also claims that SPD and electrochromic smart windows will find a growing role in the automotive sector. Although primarily found in luxury cars today, NanoMarkets expects these high-tech windows to be much more widely used in the coming decade. They are no longer just a “cool” design feature but can lead to a significant lowering of fuel costs through the reduction in the use of air conditioning. Consequently, NanoMarkets believes that sales of smart windows to the car, truck and public transport sectors will leap from around $23 million today to $185 million by 2019.

Meanwhile, the sales of smart windows for use in buildings will also leap primarily because of regulations in Europe and the US requiring the buildings to be zero net energy compliant towards. NanoMarkets believes that smart windows will turn out to be a critical enabling technology for zero net energy buildings not just because of their ability to reduce cooling bills but also they can be hybridized with photovoltaics layers which will enable them to generate energy, not just conserve it. NanoMarkets believes that as a result smart windows for residential construction will reach $117 million by 2019 and sales to commercial construction were $460 million by 2019.

Electrochromic smart windows (including glass and film) will reach $622 million by 2019 making electrochromics the largest segment of the entire smart windows business. NanoMarkets believes this may have much to do with the fact that this sector can boast significant investment by influential firms such as Corning, GE and Saint-Gobain, and Seagate. Alternatives to the electrochromic materials platform do not have the same level of clout behind them.

About NanoMarkets:

NanoMarkets tracks and analyzes emerging market opportunities in energy and electronics markets created by developments in advanced materials. The firm has published many reports on green building materials including smart coatings, building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) and OLED lighting.

Vietnam is an exotic destination for high-end global travelers from long-haul destination, South Africa

Vietnam’s first luxury tour operator will exhibit at WTM Africa from 2-3 May 2014 in Cape Town, South Africa.

Hanoi, Vietnam, April 09, 2014 – Luxury Travel (www.luxurytravels.asia), a long established Asian specialist in luxury fully bespoke holidays in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand, will exhibit at WTM Africa from 2-3 May in Cape Town, South Africa (Stand L11).

WTM Africa.
The aim is to promote high-end tourism products in the leisure luxury segment and to find buyers who want to sell unique luxury travel experiences to discerning African travellers and to help company representatives acquire knowledge about the demands, preferences, and needs of the market.

WTM Africa (www.wtmafrica.com) is the leading B2B exhibition for the inbound and outbound African travel industry, and is particularly tailored to the African market.

“The direct THAI flight connecting Johannesburg with Hanoi through Bangkok, or Malaysia Airlines, Singapore Airlines and frequent services by Gulf-based airlines (Qatar and Emirates), puts Luxury Travel’s offers of authentic encounters within easy reach of South Africans,” says Pham Ha, CEO of Vietnamese luxury tour operator Luxury Travel Ltd.

“We already have good GIT and FIT traffic from South Africa to Indochina. For years we have had a very positive experience at WTM London, so it was a very easy decision for us to exhibit at WTM Africa’s inaugural event this year in Cape Town, giving us a great opportunity to connect with this growing market. We are among the first to move into South Africa.”

The Indochina peninsula (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and Myanmar), has become increasingly appealing to global travelers from long-haul destination such as South Africa. Vietnam has a wide scope of activities and landscapes that appeal to a mix of travelers, from tropical beaches, post-colonial towns, a string of World Heritage Sites, stunning inland scenery, world-renowned cuisine and a home-grown flair for hospitality. Vietnam has it all.

“We see our clients from South Africa combining multi-countries in one trip and an increase in the number of group tours, private leisure FITS and special interest tailor-made tours. Most of them prefer luxury tours; they expect authentic experiences in luxury travel as well as pampering, but they also want off-the-beaten-track adventures with impeccable service,” says Pham Ha
“In Vietnam we have seen the completion of many luxurious hotels and resorts with names such as Marriott, Hyatt, Intercontinental, Six Senses and Amano’i. Vietnam in particular is increasingly being recognised as a destination for high-end global travelers.”

Its tourism infrastructure features a growing list of modern luxury and spa destinations, iconic colonial and boutique properties, recently opened golf courses, seaplane and helicopter flights from Hanoi to Halong Bay, and the launch of luxury yacht and river cruise services that provide a stress-free journey away from busy roads.

Halong Bay is about to enter the ultra-luxury market with the very first six-star boutique all-inclusive Emperor Cruises set to sail at the end of this year. Such improvements account for the recent growth in popularity of the country and prove that an enigmatic and alluring country such as Vietnam has nowhere to go but up.

“With new luxury hotels, ultra luxury cruises and world-class golf courses having recently opened or set to open soon, and the introduction of upmarket train journeys, exclusive cruises and upscale private tours spanning the length of the country, Vietnam is fast emerging as an exciting destination for high-end travelers from South Africa,” Pham Ha adds.

T5 Data Centers™ Leases Third Stand-Alone Data Center Within T5@Dallas Wholesale Data Center Campus

Booming North Texas Data Center Demand Leads to Construction of Additional Capacity.

Dallas, TX, USA (April 8, 2014) — T5 Data Centers™, innovators in providing state-of-the-art, customizable and highly reliable computing support environments for any enterprise, today announced that three of the four independent data centers housed in its T5@Dallas facility have already been leased, indicating the high demand for reliable, robust data centers in the Dallas market. To meet data center demand, T5 has commenced interior build-out of the 70,000 square-foot Texas4 facility within the T5@Dallas wholesale data center campus. Demand also will drive further expansion with future phases.

What makes the T5@Dallas campus unique is its “data center-in-a-data center” design. The T5@Dallas facility currently houses four independent data centers named Texas1, Texas2, Texas3, and Texas4, with plans for additional expansion. There is no shared infrastructure between the four data centers, so T5 clients have complete control of their data environment, including redundant, dedicated primary utility feeds, and dedicated electrical and mechanical plants for each data center.

Texas4 is housed inside the T5@Dallas wholesale data center facility, a purpose-built, 315,000 square-foot building on a 20-acre site located in Legacy Business Park in Plano, Texas. Texas4 is the remaining data center, available soon with 40,000 square feet of raised floor space and 4.5 MW of critical power available, expandable to 6.0 MW. The entire T5@Dallas facility is LEED-Silver Certified and built to withstand winds up to 221 miles per hour. It has dual primary power feeds connected to two separate substations, and is concurrently maintainable (mechanically and electrically) and fault tolerant (electrically).

“Today’s high density data center users are searching for robust and secure environments within purpose built facilities. Our T5@Dallas data center is a “battleship” of a facility and given our Plano Legacy location, we believe we have the best data center facility in the best location for business in Texas”, said Martin Peck, General Manager of T5@Dallas.

T5@Dallas is one of seven T5 Data Center locations situated at strategic locations across the United States. Each data center is purpose-built and customers have total control of their dedicated data hall. The T5 Critical Facility Operations Team provides support from design and construction through commissioning, and beyond.
