November 7, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

Golden Networking hosts the World’s Most Influential High-Frequency Trading Conference Series, High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 London “Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges”, December 5 (www.HFTLeadersForum).

New York City, NY, USA (November 7, 2013) — Which is the high-frequency trading conference every trader and quant in London is talking about? High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013,”Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges” (http://www.HFT-Leaders-Forum.com), organized by Golden Networking, will bring the latest on speed trading to one of the world’s financial capitals, London, on December 5.

High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 (http://www.High-Frequency-Trading-Conference.com) “Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges” will bring insights for investors and speed traders, who need to protect and refine their competitive advantage in a world dominated by algorithmic and high-frequency trading. Recognized practitioners, regulators, experts, and strategists will return to High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 London to provide hundreds of attendees with the information they are looking for in an open and unbiased environment, highly conducive to the most efficient and effective networking.

Advanced computerized trading platforms and market gateways are becoming standard tools of most types of traders, including high-frequency traders. Broker-dealers now compete on routing order flow directly, in the fastest and most efficient manner, to the line handler where it undergoes a strict set of Risk Filters before hitting the execution venue(s). Ultra Low Latency Direct Market Access (ULLDMA) is a hot topic amongst Brokers and Technology vendors such as Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, and UBS. Typically, ULLDMA systems can currently handle high amounts of volume and boast round-trip order execution speeds (from hitting “transmit order” to receiving an acknowledgment) of 10 milliseconds or less.

Such performance is achieved with the use of hardware acceleration or even full-hardware processing of incoming market data, in association with high-speed communication protocols, such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet or PCI Express. More specifically, some companies provide full-hardware appliances based on FPGA technology to obtain sub-microsecond end-to-end market data processing. High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 will provide traders, quants and technologists with the most up-to-date review of where this ever-changing industry stands and is going through an inspiring keynote speeches and thought-provoking panels with leaders in the field.

With high-frequency trading the subject of great controversy and debate, many regulations will be bound to change. How will regulations impact the way traders are capturing alpha? Would there be restrictions that can possibly harm algorithmic trading? How the economic and political landscape might impact the pace and severity of these changes?

Finally, there has been a dramatic shift in how instruments are traded in the market. With high frequency trading able to detect price discrepancies in microseconds, aided by technology, regulators have grown increasingly concerned about its impact in market structure and fairness. What is the outlook for the markets when all participants engage in the arms race of super smart algorithms? Where will institutional and retail investors find opportunities? Conversely, could we imagine a world without high-frequency trading?

High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 is produced by Golden Networking (http://www.goldennetworking.com), the premier networking community for business executives, entrepreneurs and investors. Panelists, speakers and sponsors are invited to contact Golden Networking by calling +1-414-FORUMS0 or sending an email to information@goldennetworking.com.

Black Dog Promotions Announces Newest Client/Media Partner, GSI Global, Inc.

November 6, 2013 straightlinepr Leave a comment

GSI Global is partnering with Black Dog Promotions in developing state-of-the-industry content for digital broadcasting across multiple platforms, locally and internationally.

Scottsdale, AZ, November 11, 2013 — Black Dog Promotions is proud to introduce their newest client GSI Global, Inc. Business partners Tank Jones and Mike Smoot are at the helm of GSI Global, Inc., which launched in 2012. “Our mission at GSI Global is to connect consumers with content created by many providers and to do that in a profitable way,” Jones explained. “Anything video-related we do; whether its video integration into someone’s current website, or helping them to produce or edit a video, add graphic animation on a video or anything they can use video for, that’s what we do.” Essentially, any person or company can have their very own quality channel with GSI Global, Inc.

Founder of Black Dog Promotions, Scott Kelly said, “Not only are we gaining an exciting new client and partner with GSI Global, Inc., but we will also be launching the Black Dog Promotions Channel on their site. This marks an unprecedented media expansion that will also encompass some of Black Dog Promotions’ other clients. We are proud to have partnered with such a forward-thinking media company.”

Some popular channels on the site now include a Hispanic online media publication and Renegade Calendar Girls. The next channel that is already creating a lot of buzz is The Shorts Network and will debut in mid-November. “It’s a conglomeration of short films from independent producers as well as a couple of Academy Award-winning shorts. We’ve been getting a ton of films that we’re ingesting into the channel right now and we’ve got filmmakers from all over the world,” Jones explained. Of note, Jones is also a steadily working actor, appearing in many films including “Three Kings” and as Hank’s physical therapist on the mega-hit show, “Breaking Bad.” In keeping it light-hearted, the site will be running a lot of spoof videos and spoof advertising paying homage to films and pop culture in general.

Another division of GSI Global provides a video integration component to online magazines and a way for real estate agents to showcase their home listings in a more interactive way. “We’re working with a lot of businesses in the Scottsdale area and the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce,” Jones noted. There will also be a pay-per-view component for martial arts fighting and other special events. Kelly added, “With so many special events and concerts, there will now be another incredibly attractive way for production companies to put forth quality media and retain a very high portion of profits.”

This site allows content partners to have creative control over their own channels without the aggravation of forced ads and channel providers will be able to choose to exactly whom they want to market their channel. “If someone has a following, they can provide the advertising and we’ll put that advertising (skins, pre-rolls, banners, etc.) on their channel. Our revenue share is much more favorable to where our content providers are making the lion’s share of the money compared to other video channels,” noted Jones. GSI Global, Inc. is positioned to become the premier video content platform for an unlimited number of industries, businesses and special-interest groups.

“We’re going to be one of the first companies to offer local channels for free. You’ll be able to watch all your local channels for free without a subscription to a cable or satellite provider,” said Jones. “We’re also affiliated with DISH Network and we provide the cable for lots of hotels, military bases and apartment complexes.” GSI Global, Inc. is also looking forward to providing premium content to foreign countries that don’t have access to quality content and programming.

Black Dog Promotions is a media and business development agency and also provides digital marketing and publicity consulting for regional and national brands. Black Dog’s team has a long history of success in the entertainment, sports, technology and finance industries. They have taken companies from concept to millions of dollars in sales and billions of dollars in market capitalization.

GSI Global, Inc. currently has 50 channels providing content for the consumer market. Black Dog Promotions embraces the opportunities and exposure that GSI Global, Inc. will be able to provide with a vast array of content to many different audiences across nearly all platforms.

HotRodPlans.com has catalogued the Top 10 Reasons Street Rodders Use the Mustang II Front Suspension as an aid to budget-minded rod builders considering purchase of the newly released plans package developed using the latest in CAD (computer aided design) software. The computer-drawn plans, which do not require blueprint reading skills, permit the proper geometry to be developed so that the suspension on one’s home budget-build will be the same quality that professional rod shops sell.

The Mustang II Front Suspension Plans drawing package includes: fourteen 11×17″ pages with illustrations, dimensions and templates showing how make all parts, assemble them and then install the finished Mustang II Front Suspension successfully in a street rod. HotRodPlans.com’s new Mustang II Street Rod IFS Plans are available for $16.99, postpaid for U.S. and Canada customers ($18.99, international).

New NanoMarkets Report Says Smart Coatings Market to Reach $3.0 billion by 2018

November 4, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

The worldwide smart coatings market will grow from $363 million in 2013 to almost $3.0 billion in 2018, according to a new report from industry analysis firm NanoMarkets.

Glen Allen, Virginia (November 4, 2013) — The worldwide smart coatings market will grow from $363 million in 2013 to almost $3.0 billion in 2018, according to a new report from industry analysis firm NanoMarkets. The report, “Worldwide Smart Coatings Markets, 2013-2020,” notes that because of their ability to quickly respond to external stimuli or resist extreme environments, smart coatings are finding new applications in several industry sectors including construction, energy, automotive, medical, consumer electronic goods and the military.

NanoMarkets believes that smart coatings will do especially well in markets – such as the military — where quality and performance, rather than price, shape purchasing decisions. Consumer markets where the customer is willing to pay a premium for functionality such as scratch resistance or enhanced energy efficiency will also be important.

Additional details about the report are available at: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/worldwide_smart_coatings_markets_2013_2020.

About the Report:

This new NanoMarkets report provides an in depth analysis of the demand for smart coatings including self-cleaning coatings, anti-corrosion coatings, self-healing coatings, self-dimming coatings, and a range of biomedical smart coatings. It examines the latest products, strategies and technical developments and the hurdles that these materials must overcome to achieve market acceptance.

The report contains granular forecasts of smart coatings shipments in volume and value terms, with breakouts by application and type of material. The report discusses the activities in the smart coating space of some of the leading specialty chemical firms and leading OEMs including 3M, Bayer, Corning, Dassault, Dow, DSM, DuPont, Eastman Chemical, Fuji Heavy Industries, Honda, Nippon Steel, Nissan, NTT, Pilkington, PPG, Saint-Gobain, Sherwin-Williams, Sumitomo and Toyota. In addition, the report covers the activities of numerous innovative smaller firms and startups.

From the report:

Self-cleaning coatings are the largest segment of the smart coatings market; reaching $1.4 billion in 2018. Self-cleaning glass coatings are already in widespread use, but NanoMarkets believes there will be even more opportunities in this space because there is considerable room for improvement in the performance of existing products; additional functionality (anti-fog and anti-glare) can also be added. The fastest growing part of the self-cleaning coatings segment is for non-glass substrates such as aluminum siding, tile and textiles.

Smart anti-corrosion coatings are expected to reach $449 million by 2018, picking up revenues in extreme conditions where conventional paints do not add enough protection. NanoMarkets believes that an important future direction for this part of the smart coatings market will be multipurpose anti-corrosion coatings that address oxidation, wear and other factors. Up to now such multipurpose coatings have been available in limited quantities from small suppliers, but NanoMarkets expects these to become more widely available from the major giant specialty chemical companies.

NanoMarkets expects a dramatic shift in the markets for smart coatings in the next few years. Currently, almost 70 percent of the revenues for smart coatings come from the construction and automotive industry sectors. By 2020, NanoMarkets expects this number to have fallen to 37 percent and the energy sector emerging to account for 25 percent of all smart coatings sales. Much of this growth, NanoMarkets believes will come from sales of self-cleaning coatings for solar panels.

About NanoMarkets:

NanoMarkets tracks and analyzes emerging markets in medicine, energy, electronics and other area created by developments in advanced materials. The firm is a recognized leader in industry analysis and forecasts in the specialty chemicals industry and has been covering the smart coatings business since 2011.

Actyl Group to Seek Ambitious Workers in Zagreb, Croatia

November 4, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

Company recruits individuals for trade and hospitality jobs in western Canada.

Edmonton, Alberta (November 4, 2013) — Actyl, a leading Canadian workforce solutions firm, will make a special recruiting trip to Zagreb, Croatia to interview candidates to fill more than 400 jobs in the hospitality industry throughout Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.

The trip, which will take place in mid-November, aims to bring temporary foreign workers (TFOs) into Canada to fill the labor gap that currently exists, particularly in the western part of the country.

“We are very pleased to embark on this trip to Croatia and meet with hard-working and talented candidates who are interested in both a job and a new adventure,” said Dr. Linda West, president of Actyl. “While most of the world has experienced slow economic growth over the past several years, western Canada has been booming thanks largely to oil and gas exploration. As a result, there is a labor shortage in a number of industries, including hospitality. We aim to help fill the gap by finding exceptional temporary foreign workers from Zagreb this month.”

Actyl works with more than 75 employers in Canada and seeks candidates who have experience working in restaurants and the trades. The firm has years of experience finding and recruiting TFOs, which are critical for businesses that need to fill workforce gaps. Individuals who accept jobs in Canada find them to be highly fulfilling, while the chance to travel and live abroad can be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia are somewhat unique in today’s global marketplace, as they represent some of the few places where rapid job growth is evident. Paired with the growing economy is the fact that the region has an aging population, leaving more jobs open than can be filled by its current labor force.

“In many ways, western Canada is still an open frontier, with a wide range of possibilities for entrepreneurial and industrious individuals,” said West. “In many cases, these jobs lead to other great opportunities, so this is a chance you won’t want to pass up. We are looking forward to visiting Croatia and meeting potential candidates from many different backgrounds.”

Actyl officials will be available at the Four Points by Sheraton Panorama Zagreb from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. November 13-18, and will offer free information sessions and interviews. To learn more about this opportunity and to apply for open positions, visit http://www.actyl.com/jobs.

Please direct inquiries to: Dr. Linda West, (306) 569-7948.
