Leave a comment

Zevrix Solutions announces ArtOptimizer 2.7, a compatibility update to its workflow automation solution for Adobe Illustrator. ArtOptimizer allows to reduce Illustrator link size and speed up processing by automatically eliminating excess image data and performing essential image adjustments. The software lets users save gigabytes of disk space, accelerate file output and cut costs through faster processing. The new version makes ArtOptimizer compatible with Illustrator and Photoshop CC.

Toronto (ON), Canada — Zevrix Solutions announces the release of ArtOptimizer 2.7, a compatibility update to its workflow automation solution for Adobe Illustrator. ArtOptimizer lets users reduce Illustrator link size, accelerate output and reduce production costs by automatically eliminating excess image data and performing essential image adjustments. For example, with just a click of a button users can:

-scale images to match their dimensions in Illustrator,
-change their resolution to 300 dpi,
-convert all RGB images to CMYK,
-merge layers or delete hidden ones,
-run a Photoshop Action on each image.

In order to eliminate excess image data, ArtOptimizer automatically scales the images in Photoshop to match their dimensions in Illustrator, changes resolution according to the target resolution specified, and reimports images to Illustrator at 100%. As a result, the size of Illustrator job can be reduced dramatically – some jobs can shrink in size by half and more.

The new version makes ArtOptimizer compatible with the recently released Illustrator and Photoshop CC featured as part of Adobe Creative Cloud. The update is free for the licensed users of ArtOptimizer.

ArtOptimizer can dramatically benefit the workflows of service providers, printers, ad agencies and publishing houses:

–Save gigabytes of disk space.
–Accelerate document output to printer and PDF.
-Save endless hours – and even days – of optimizing images manually.
-Save valuable time transferring jobs to outside sources.
-Cut costs through faster processing.

Zevrix also makes the LinkOptimizer software, a similar tool to optimize links in Adobe InDesign documents.

Pricing and Availability:
ArtOptimizer can be purchased from the Zevrix Solutions web site for US$119.95, as well as from authorized resellers. Trial is also available for download. ArtOptimizer is available for Mac OS X 10.5-10.8, a Universal Binary, and works with Adobe Illustrator CS3-CC.

Women More Erotically Adventurous Than Men, New Online Survey Shows

Leave a comment

Contrary to common stereotypes, a recent survey of men and women conducted by online dating website SugarDaddyForMe.com shows women are overtaking men in how s*xually adventurous they describe themselves to be.

New York City, NY, USA (July 17, 2013) — Contact: Tom Andrews, 415-507-9962

A new adult dating survey conducted by SugarDaddyForMe.com is revealing women to be the more s*xually adventurous gender in today’s day and age. Breaking free of the common stereotypes of men as the more open gender when it comes to intimacy, surprisingly the women respondents to the survey in many ways expressed more adventurous erotic preferences than the men. More women (16%) than men (13%) described themselves as “kinky”, more women (15%) than men (11%) described their s*xual nature as “wild”, more women (9%) than men (1%) described themselves as “bis*xual”, and more women (11%) than men (9%) said they are “into s*xual role playing”.

Another finding shows more women had their first intimate experience at an earlier age than men. A surprising 85% of the women respondents had their first experience by 18 years of age or younger, compared to just 73% of the men. But the biggest difference was that a full 36% of the women had their first experience between the ages of 15 and 16 while only 26% of the men started that early.

Both sugar babies and sugar daddies are more s*xually active than the average man and woman. According to the dating website results, sugar babies and sugar daddies engage in intercourse:

– 3-6 times per week – 58% (women); 58% (men)
– More than 7 times per week – 24% (women); 19% (men)

When it comes to ‘doing the deed’, 76% of the men responding expect intercourse to be part of any relationship, while only 18% of women have the same expectation. But surprisingly, the men prefer a longer period of foreplay than the women! For example, six times more women than men say that “the shorter the foreplay the better.” Reinforcing this surprising result, more men (38%) than women (21%) say that they prefer foreplay to last between at least 30 minutes to more than an hour. The majority of both genders consider that the optimal amount of foreplay is between 15-30 minutes.

While men’s preference was for longer foreplay than women, it was just the opposite when it came to the amount of time they each prefer intercourse to last. A majority of men (52%) prefer intercourse to last just 30 minutes or less, whereas a large majority of women (65%) would like intercourse to last 30 to 45 minutes, an additional 18% of women prefer at least 45 minutes to an hour of intercourse, and a full 16% of women want intercourse to last more than an hour.

Men were also found to be more s*xually active than women in the last year, and have had more overall partners in the span of their lives. Whereas the majority of women (52%) have had 10 partners or less in their lifetime, only 18% of men had as few as 10 or less s*xual partners in their lifetime. Within the last year, more women (79%) than men (53%) had 3 partners or less, while more men (48%) than women (21%) had 4 or more partners in the last year.

And with other stimulants thrown in the intercourse mix, the online dating website found men surpassed women in their preference for using toys and/or male enhancements, having intimate relationships with multiple people at once and oral stimulation.

URALCHEM Increased Production in the First Half of 2013

Leave a comment

Production from all enterprises in the URALCHEM group of companies amounted to 3.14 million tons in the first half of 2013. Output increased by 0.7% compared to the same period last year.

Moscow, Russia (July 15, 2013) — Production from all enterprises in the URALCHEM group of companies amounted to 3.14 million tons in the first half of 2013. Output increased by 0.7% compared to the same period last year.

Production of ammonium nitrate reached 1.42 million tons, an increase by 1% over the same period last year. Ammonia production increased by 1% to 412 thousand tons. Urea production rose to 613.8 thousand tons, which is 2% more than in the first six months of 2012. Output of complex fertilizers (NPK) increased by 1% to 293.2 thousand tons. Production of phosphate fertilizers (MAP / DAP) decreased by 3% to 245.2 thousand tons.

Dmitry Konyaev, CEO of URALCHEM, OJSC, commented on the results for the first half of 2013, “As a result of ongoing projects to improve production efficiency, URALCHEM is continuing to increase output of its key nitrogen products, thereby maintaining a leading position among Russian manufacturers. During the period, the dynamics of phosphate fertilizer production reflected the overall situation on the global market for mineral fertilizers. The continuing low consumer activity in Asian countries, especially in India, has led to a global decline in the prices for phosphate fertilizers. URALCHEM’s wide range of products allows us to respond flexibly to changes in the market. The company continues to expand its product portfolio and has now entered a new niche, that of water-soluble fertilizers. These high-margin products are the fastest growing segment of today’s global market.”

Toni Silber-Delerive is Art Gallery’s New Featured Artist

Leave a comment

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery has announced that professional artist Toni Silber-Delerive is the gallery’s newest Featured Artist.

Jupiter, FL, USA (July 15, 2013) — Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery has announced that professional artist Toni Silber-Delerive is the gallery’s newest Featured Artist. Toni will now be featured in the Artist Showcase for the next 30 days.

Born in Philadelphia, Toni Silber-Delerive studied painting at the Philadelphia College of Art and graphic design at the School of Visual Arts. A Manhattan-based artist and graphic designer, her work is represented in private and corporate collections and has been in many exhibitions.

Toni’s aerial-view paintings represent diverse places and spaces of the contemporary landscape seen from an above ground perspective. The flattened surface planes convey the textures of abstract space enhanced by compositional aesthetics and skillful use of color. From the elevated position of high-rise buildings and helicopters, her images of cities and towns, factories and farmlands, power plants, suburban communities and highways are delivered with a distinctive angle on structures frequently taken for granted.

More than just a recording of the contemporary landscape, Toni’s paintings are her own interpretation of the essence of these scenes. They combine elements of abstraction and representation, pattern and grid, surface and illusion, as well as observation, imagination, and memory. Whether hovering high above city streets and highways, floating serenely over the countryside, or soaring above towns, harbors and monuments, they examine the relationship between man-made and natural, urban and rural, agrarian and industrial, power, labor and leisure.

Toni’s appreciation of unconventional views and eternal human habits come together in her up-close, above-view paintings of food. While the colors and shapes are traditional, the oversized proportions painted from above display the subject in a way that is both original and recognizable. Overall, Toni Silber-Delerive strives to blend a fresh perspective with a savvy demonstration of the power of color and composition. Toni’s website http://www.tonisart.com.

Author, Sybrina Durant’s Pinterest Board Generates New Excitement For Teaching A Child To Tie A Necktie

Leave a comment

“Learn To Tie A Tie With The Rabbit And The Fox”, by Sybrina Durant, utilizes the art of teaching by mnemonics. This enchanting book is immediately available at online booksellers worldwide.

League City, Texas, USA (July 15, 2013) — For those who may believe that wearing a tie is becoming obsolete, take a look at the Pinterest board Sybrina Durant has created for her book, Learn To Tie A Tie With The Rabbit And The Fox. It contains hundreds of delightful images of children wearing neckties and provides positive proof that parents are loving the look of dapper little boys. There’s no easier way to teach boys, and their parents, to attain that look, than with this adorable, educational story that illustrates how to tie a tie in a way that even a young child can understand. With this lovely children’s book, not only will a child learn to tie a tie, but parent’s can get a refresher as well.

The book offers an outstanding learning and bonding opportunity for parent and child. It is engaging from the beginning, pulling the reader in, making them want to root for the rabbit. The author strives to make this book entertaining for the entire family, and succeeds! All who read this engaging tale will be captivated by a clever boy remembering the chase between a rabbit and fox that mimics the motions of tying a tie in the basic “school boy knot”, otherwise known as the “four in hand”. Stunning illustrations, by Donna Marie Naval accompany this book. At times it seems the fox and the rabbit will come right off the page. Enchanting, colorful, engaging and filled with learning opportunities, this book comes in English, Spanish, and Tagalog.

Sybrina Durant believes that if a child is taught a skill while young, that lesson will be remembered forever. Whether learning to lace up shoes, knot a necktie or master any other seemingly complicated knot, being taught with stories, pictures and songs, makes recollection easier later in life. This word, image or sound association, formally known as mnemonics, has been used throughout the ages to help people quickly access memories of things they learned in the past. Learn To Tie A Tie With The Rabbit And The Fox, storybook with instructional song, uses all the senses to enhance recall. The song can be heard in all three languages for free at sybrina.com.

This is an excellent book for all ages and is intended to be a fun family activity. It will be enjoyed by anyone who needs to learn to tie a necktie, or not! Even those who may not need to know how to tie a tie will love the illustrations, and the nail biting chase around the woods. Book reviews are available at Amazon and on Pinterest.

Breakthrough in U.S.-China Trade Negotiations at Golden Networking’s China Happy Hour New York City

Leave a comment

China Happy Hour New York City (www.chinahappyhour.com), Every 4th Tuesday, Brings Together Chinese Business Leaders for Evenings of Fast-paced Networking and Cocktails in Midtown Manhattan.

New York City, NY, USA (July 12, 2013) — There is often a lot of effervescence that comes out of diplomatic meetings, says The Wall Street Journal’s John Bussey. And so it was today Thursday, when the U.S. announced a “breakthrough” in trade talks with China-the same negotiations that, over many years, have produced lots of promises and little progress. What happened was that the two sides agreed to continue negotiating a so-called bilateral investment treaty, or BIT, but under a new model treaty announced last year that has additional market-opening requirements.

Among the reasons China wants a treaty is that it has very big investment ambitions in the U.S. Some of its investments have been blocked by U.S. national security concerns, and for other reasons. An investment treaty would give China a lot more clarity about the rules of the road, give it a way to appeal for compensation if a deal is blocked, and provide China something of an overall seal of approval. Some Chinese leaders also want to use a trade deal to force additional economic reform at home.

The U.S. wants a treaty because companies-from oil drillers to bankers-still don’t have the market access China promised when it signed previous trade pacts, notably when it entered the WTO. What do Chinese business executives and journalists want in New York City? They all just want to attend Golden Networking’s China Happy Hour (http://www.ChinaHappyHour.com), the best China networking in the Big Apple, to be held Tuesday July 23rd, 6PM.

Companies represented in past editions of Golden Networking’s Happy Hour include Alaris Trading Partners, Andrews Securities, Apollo Advisors, Atlantic Advisory Group, Avatar, Blackstone, Capital Advisors, Citadel, Citi, CNBC, Comscient, Credit Suisse, DE Shaw, Deutsche Bank, Duane Morris, Eagle View Asset Management, Falcon Technology Systems, General Atlantic, GETCO, Goldman Sachs, Greyfields, IBM, Infinium Capital, KKR, Lightspeed, Lime Brokerage, Mahogany Partners, MNG Capital, Monolith Capital Trading Partners, Morgan Stanley, MSF Capital Advisors, Nirvana Capital, Nobilis Capital, OneMarketData, OneTick, Providence, RBS, SBS Securities, Silver Lake, The Carlyle Group, Twin Capital Management, UBS, among others.

How High Is High-Frequency Trading at Tech2Trade Expo 2013 New York City, World Financial Center

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 12, 2013) — PBS News Hour just reviewed high-frequency trading, which represents more than half of all transactions of American stocks these days; but just how fast is high-frequency? So fast, it turns out, that data companies now provide financial data to their most premium subscribers early — as little as two milliseconds early in the case of a $20,000-per-month service the Nasdaq and Chicago Mercantile Exchange debuted in May using microwave networks. That time difference is enough to gain quite the financial advantage.

One key data provider, Thomson Reuters, announced this week it was suspending its 9:54:58 a.m. release of the University of Michigan’s consumer confidence data to about a dozen premium subscribers (not to be confused with those regular money management customers who pay to receive the data at 9:55 a.m., a measly five minutes before the University of Michigan posts the consumer confidence index online) while New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman investigates the practice.

Thomson Reuters maintains that their 9:54:58 a.m. release, for which some clients pay more than $6,000 a month, does not violate federal insider trading laws since they disclose the tiered pricing to all customers.

So how and why do traders capitalize on those all-important two seconds? That is a topic of discussion at High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 New York City, July 30th, as part of Tech2Trade Expo 2013 New York City (http://www.Tech2TradeExpo.com), at the World Financial Center.

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:

– Low Latency: How can Ultra-Low Latency be Achieved for High-Frequency Trading?
– Emerging Markets: How will Emerging Markets from Brazil to China Affect the Scope of High-frequency Trading?
– Robotic Markets: As High-frequency Trading Embraces Robotic Markets Worldwide, How Will Participants be Able to Find new Opportunities to Sustain Alpha Creation?
– Regulatory Impact: With High-frequency Trading in the Spotlight, how will New Regulations Change the Industry?
– The Future of HFT: How will High-frequency Trading Evolve in Ever-changing Technology and Regulatory Environments?

Tech2Trade Expo 2013, to be held in New York City, London, Chicago, Singapore and Frankfurt, is the world’s most influential alternative investments forum for the hedge fund, high-frequency trading and derivatives communities. With dozens of practitioners, experts and regulators speaking in our programs, Tech2Trade Expo 2013 provides hundreds of investors, traders and portfolio managers with the key lessons, proven recipes and penetrating insights they are looking for to capture alpha in up and down markets:
