Luxury Travel in Vietnam on the Rise and Affordable

Leave a comment

Vietnam is emerging as a luxe destination in the world tourism map, Mr. Pham Ha, a travel guru in tourism industry in Vietnam, reveals the current luxury travel trends and his products for 2013. Ha is a founder and CEO of Luxury Travel Ltd, Vietnam’s first luxury tour operator and DMC.

Hanoi, Vietnam, July 19, 2012 — The Travel Experts of Virtuoso in the US just completed a trend survey of its member agencies, each of whom specializes in catering to the needs of luxury travelers, which came to the conclusion that Vietnam and Cambodia are the hot destinations in Southeast Asia.

“With new luxury hotels and world class golf courses having recently opened or set to open soon, and the introduction of luxury train journeys, exclusive cruises and upscale private tours spanning the length of the country, Vietnam is fast emerging as an exciting destination for the high-end traveler,” says Luxury Travel Ltd‘s Founding CEO, Pham Ha.

Today’s luxury travelers want to be entertained and stimulated, rather than simply pampered, and Vietnam offers a magical mix of tropical beaches, post-colonial charm, a string of world heritage sites, stunning inland scenery, a world-renowned cuisine and a home-grown flair for hospitality.

“Nowadays, luxury travel is about experiences, doesn’t need to be the preserve of the super-rich – indeed, it is a little-known fact that almost anybody can afford to travel in style, elegance and comfort without breaking the bank or even spending much more than travelling ordinarily. The world of luxury travel is actually a very accessible onem,” reveals Pham Ha.

Upscale tours today also offer “off the beaten track” experiences. In a credit crunch environment high end tourists also expect efficiency, seamless travel, value for money and a return on personal values. Many will opt for short trips for their families which offer a slice of local culture, a splash of adventure, and authentic experiences. Upscale tailor-made tours in Vietnam now come replete with yacht cruises, helicopter tours, limousine services, and the whole nine yards.

There is also plenty of flexibility for all tours. Travelers are free to request helicopter tours, cycling excursions to craft villages, scuba diving or snorkeling trips, reservations at the finest restaurants in the land, meetings with renowned artists, chefs and designers, shopping recommendations, spa reservations, tours with special-interest lecturers, and exclusive access to local activities and cultural events.

Each day, tours are designed with flexibility to suit travelers’ personal interest, schedule and energy level. When it comes to luxury tours, the sky’s truly the limit.

Vietnam’s first luxury tour operator/DMC (http://www.luxurytravelvietnam.com) based in Hanoi with offices throughout Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand, Luxury Travel is exceptional in designing tailor-made tours and providing unique travel experiences. Opened in 2004, the Luxury Travel Company Limited has its own offices, luxury vehicles, luxury travel advisors, and representative offices in California, London, Paris, and Sydney. The company’s depth of experience and large infrastructure enable it to create unique itineraries with the operational confidence to fulfill client expectations.

NanoMarkets Announces Upcoming Report Titled, Transparent Conductor Markets-2012

Leave a comment

NanoMarkets today announced that it has added a new report to its schedule titled, “Transparent Conductor Markets-2012” that is scheduled to be released in early August of 2012.

Glen Allen, Virginia – July 18, 2012 — Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced that it has added a new report to its schedule titled, “Transparent Conductor Markets-2012” that is scheduled to be released in early August of 2012. In this report NanoMarkets continues its industry leading coverage of transparent conductors (TC) that dates back to 2006. The firm is the recognized authority on TCs and has issued over a dozen different market assessments of the key technology and market trends that have and will continue to drive this market.

Details about the report can be found at http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/transparent_conductor_markets_2012. The firm is offering pre-publication pricing for the report through July 31. Contact the firm at sales@nanomarkets.net for details.

About the Report:

This report provides the necessary strategic insight into how TC firms can best generate new revenues from the rapidly changing business environments within the display, lighting and solar panel sectors. New technologies are emerging such as OLED displays and lighting, flexible displays and transparent electronics in the forms of displays, smart windows and BIPV glass that will provide significant opportunities for ITO alternatives.

Companies addressed by the report include Cambrios, Cima NanoTech, Dow Chemical, Evonik, Ferro, Heraeus, Indium Corporation, Kodak, Mitsui Mining and Smelting, Nippon Mining & Metals, Nitto Denko, Oike, PolyIC, Saint-Gobain, Samsung Corning, Sumitomo, Toray, Tosoh, Ulvac Materials, and others.

In addition, this report examines opportunities for TCs in more established parts of the display sector. It takes an in-depth look at the use of touch-screen technology which is highly suitable for novel TCs. However, there are so many TC firms crowding into this sector that a legitimate question is whether this relatively small market is about to become saturated.

The comprehensive coverage of this report extends beyond the display sector and includes pinpointing the best prospects for TCs in the solar industry. Recently, PV opportunities have been constrained by the influx of low-cost c-Si panels from China with limited need for TCs. In this report, NanoMarkets discusses how the logic of Chinese industrial policy now suggests a possible revival of the thin-film PV market that will create new opportunities for TCs.

Chinese industrial policy is also further examined for what it will mean for ITO pricing and availability. The impact of indium prices on the TC market has been a controversial subject and this report cuts to the chase and shows how the ITO supply chain is really likely to evolve going forward in context of what is planned for the Chinese display, PV and indium industries.

Finally, this report analyzes important developments on the TC materials front and it takes a peek at what the next generation of transparent conductors will look like and how these materials will extend addressable markets. This study also contains detailed eight-year forecasts in volume (square meters) and value terms. For each of the applications covered there are breakouts of demand for ITO, other TCOs, ITO/TCO inks, carbon nanotube films, silver-based transparent conductors, other nanometallic transparent conductors and conductive polymers. And there is also a forecast of ITO products by type (sputtering targets, films, coated glass, etc.).

About NanoMarkets:

NanoMarkets tracks and analyzes emerging market opportunities created by developments in advanced materials. It provides regular and comprehensive industry analysis of the latest commercial technologies in the electronics and energy sectors and other related areas and is recognized worldwide as a leading source of industry analysis in these areas.

Leave a comment

The Randomness of Life tells a compassionate story of heroes and their families who deal with neurological disorders.

Carlsbad, CA, USA – July 18, 2012 — The Randomness of Life by Marilyn Warda’s has been released world-wide in print and eBook formats.

Warda’s breakout novel opens in Barranquitas, Venezuela, a small and impoverished fishing village that serves as a world magnet for studying a genetic mutation that guarantees an early onset of a horrendous disease and premature death. With the help of an American volunteer, 18-year-old Barranquitas resident Tula Valdesa escapes to Chicago to participate in a leading university’s clinical trial that may alleviate symptoms.

“The Randomness of Life is a compassionate portrayal of life’s real heroes and their families,” author Marilyn Warda said. “My hope is that someday soon there will be a cure to eradicate abnormal genes through gene silencing.

“The Randomness of Life is a lot like looking into a mirror. You can visualize yourself in each chapter as the story presents the ultimate of one’s fears. The fact remains that despite advances in medical research and prolonging life, everybody dies. Knowing you will age into a neurological and motor decline that ultimately will incapacitate is a horror far surpassing any wrinkle or gray hair.”

The Randomness of Life, 254 pages, is available in softcover – ISBN 9781622870059, hardcover – ISBN 9781622870066 and eBook – ISBN 9781622870042 through Amazon.com, BN.com and all other on-line retailers.

Marilyn Warda, a Northwest Indiana native, is a medical practice manager now working in Southwest Arizona. She has experienced the trials for caring for those suffering from debilitating neurological disease. Marilyn has a BA degree from Purdue University where she majored in communications and journalism.

An Amazon.com review posted by Vicki Christensen stated, “This is such a compassionate story that everyone can relate to through some loved family member or friend. I highly recommend this book and will be waiting for Marilyn Warda’s next book!”

New NanoMarkets Report on OLED Materials Projects $7.4 billion ($US) Market by 2019

Leave a comment

Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets announces the release of its latest report on the booming OLED materials sector, titled “OLED Materials Markets 2012”.

Glen Allen, Virginia – July 17, 2012 — Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets announces the release of its latest report on the booming OLED materials sector, titled “OLED Materials Markets 2012”. The report analyzes the opportunities for OLED materials suppliers in both the display and lighting sectors over the next eight years. NanoMarkets estimates that the total market value of OLED materials will grow quickly from approximately $524 million in 2012 to over $7.4 billion by the end of the forecast period in 2019, which corresponds to a CAGR of over 45%.

Additional details of the report are available at: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/oled_materials_markets_2012

About the Report:
This latest NanoMarkets report on the OLED industry provides an analysis and forecast of the OLED materials market in the next eight years in both the booming OLED display and the nascent OLED lighting industry. The report examines some of the latest market strategies, products and technical developments in materials, and it identifies how performance improvements are growing some addressable markets for OLEDs. The report also includes NanoMarkets’ assessments of the strategies of several of the leading OLED materials suppliers. As in all NanoMarkets reports, this report contains granular eight-year forecasts of materials shipments in both OLED panel area and value terms, with breakouts by material type (small molecule vs. polymer) deposition technology (vapor vs. solution processing), and by panel type (rigid vs. flexible). Material categories covered include the functional OLED materials in the emissive layer and hole/electron transport/injection/blocking layers as well as substrates, electrodes, and encapsulation technologies.

Key players mentioned in the report include Samsung, LG, Universal Display Corporation, BASF, Merck/EMD, Novaled, Philips, Osram, GE, DuPont Displays, Sumitomo, Idemitsu Kosan, Sony, Konica Minolta, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Cheil Industries, Sun Fine Chemical, Heraeus, Duksan Hi-Metal, Nippon Steel Chemical, Panasonic, Moser Baer, Panasonic Idemitsu, Chimei Innolux, AU Optronics, Fraunhofer, Lumiotec, Pioneer, Showa Denko, Seiko Epson, Hodogaya Chemical, Borun Chemical, NEC Lighting, Plextronics, and others.

From the Report:
The past year has brought big changes to the OLED market. The technology appears to have finally taken off, and the long-promised potential for OLEDs to make a real impact in the display markets is finally being realized, with Samsung’s Galaxy phones beating out OLED-free Apple iPhones for the first time in 2012. Just as importantly, with the long-awaited emergence of OLED TVs and OLED lighting, there is an ongoing shift toward OLEDs with larger panel sizes, which could soon translate into much higher OLED materials demand.

But, the commercial momentum will only be sustained if materials suppliers can help to close the remaining technology – and cost – gaps that could hold back the fabrication of low-cost, large-area, and long-lifetime panels. Materials suppliers to the OLED industry can thus carve out competitive advantages in the following areas: long-life blue emitter systems, materials that increase efficiency, better encapsulation and substrate technologies that boost panel lifetime and expand design capabilities, and high performance solution-processable materials that enable low-cost/large-area manufacturing.

About NanoMarkets:
NanoMarkets tracks and analyzes emerging market opportunities in electronics, solid-state lighting, energy, 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 OLED sector for more than six years.

Leave a comment

Building off of the momentum of past conferences, Golden Networking brings back High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2012, now in New York, Chicago and London (www.HFTLeadersForum.com).

New York City, NY, USA (July 16, 2012) — Building off of the momentum of the leading conferences of 2011 on the subject of algorithmic, quantitative and high-frequency trading, Golden Networking brings once again a renovated edition of High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2012, this time in three of the world’s most important financial centers: New York, Chicago and London.

High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2012, “How Traders, Brokers, Exchanges and Dark Pools Navigate the Most Challenging Regulatory Landscape”, will provide attendees in New York, Chicago and London with the most up-to-date review of where this ever-changing industry stands and how new technology and regulatory developments will impact it. Recognized experts, regulators, and strategists, will return to High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2012 to provide the information practitioners are looking for in an open and unbiased environment, highly conducive to the most efficient and effective networking.

With insightful keynote speeches and highly regarded panels, everybody involved in high-frequency trading will gain inside knowledge about the latest technologies that can drastically optimize HFT infrastructures and take a first look at upcoming regulations that could radically change the HFT firms’ business model. Topics that will be discussed at High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2012 include the movement toward emerging markets, every time more attuned to the use of bots, the regulatory environment, how new technologies are changing the game, including FPGA applications, and a look at the upcoming regulatory changes that will definitely impact how speed traders capture alpha, organized in five different panels:

Emerging Markets: How will Emerging Markets from Brazil to China Affect the Scope of High-frequency Trading? With emerging markets on the rise, high frequency trading and algorithmic trading are shifting to geographies in Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America. Which markets hold the most promise? Which asset classes can be traded in high-frequency in those markets? Are there restrictions to frequency and speed in place in any of those promising lands? What is the outlook for high-frequency trading among regulators in those markets?

Robotic Markets: As High-frequency Trading Embraces Robotic Markets Worldwide, how Participants will be Able to Find new Opportunities to Sustain Alpha Creation? Algorithms are becoming more prevalent, faster, smarter, more self-adaptive and geographically distributed and embracing cross asset classes trading and geographies. How will robotic market impact trading, and high-frequency trading in particular? What will be the benefits quants can expect from this evolution? Will there be any disadvantages?

Regulatory Impact: With High-frequency Trading in the Spotlight, how new Regulations will Change the Industry? 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?

Hot FPGA: As Financial Firms Embrace More Applications, would FPGA Live up to the Current Lofty Expectations? Trading outfits that are latency sensitive are interested in FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) for a number of reasons including the order-of-magnitude speed improvement and more deterministic latency over software running on general purpose CPUs. What are other unique advantages this technology brings to high-frequency trading? What sets FPGAs apart from other technologies? How fast implementation costs are changing?

The Future of HTF: How High-frequency Trading will Evolve in Ever-changing Technology and Regulatory Environments? 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 2012 is produced by Golden Networking (http://www.goldennetworking.net), the premier networking community for business executives, entrepreneurs and investors. Panelists, speakers and sponsors are invited to contact Golden Networking by sending an email to info@goldennetworking.net.

Jadranka Carluccio-Grbic is the Gallery’s Featured Artist

Leave a comment

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is extremely pleased to announce that Jadranka Carluccio-Grbic is the gallery’s recent featured artist.

Jupiter, Florida, USA – July 16, 2012 — Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is extremely pleased to announce that Jadranka Carluccio-Grbic is the gallery’s recent featured artist. Jadranka brings a unique and interesting background, training and history to her creative endeavors as a Croatian artist, Medical Doctor by profession and as an assiduous world traveler.

Since childhood, Jadranka experienced a vast cultural heritage which helped enrich and develop artistic soul. After using various means of traditional artistic expression, she discovered the digital medium. Jadranka explains the medium in the following manner, “digital painting is comparable to oil on canvas or pencil on paper, because the artist does not use a computer to generate images automatically, but rather, that the painting is created on the blank page with no references whatsoever. Drawing, perspective and colors are all generated and created by the artist. The only real difference between digital and the traditional way of painting is in the tool itself. A brush, pencil, canvas or papers are now exchanged with a computer mouse, a digital pen, on a digital means. The digital medium also allows the artist to work with multiple layers, as this allows the artist to correct any error which is much easier than if it was created on a canvas.”

Jadranka’s mixed media paintings are original size, with each painting (biggest) printed on canvas with museum quality giclee technique, hand painted and signed by her, using translucent materic acrylic paint. Jadranka’s vivid and incredible art can be viewed worldwide in many group and solo exhibitions in both galleries and museums, as well as in public and private collections. Her work can also be viewed instantly at the following websites: http://www.jcgart.com and http://www.jcg-fineartdigitalpainting.com.

About Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery conducts monthly art competitions and monthly art exhibitions for new and emerging artists on a worldwide basis. It is Light Space & Time’s intention to showcase this incredible talent in a series of monthly themed art competitions and art exhibitions by marketing and displaying the exceptional abilities of these worldwide artists.
