High-Speed Trading in the Spotlight at Golden Networking's The Speed Traders Workshop 2012 New York City

Edgar Perez, Author, The Speed Traders, Speaker at The Speed Traders Workshop 2012 New York (www.thespeedtradersworkshop.com), How Algorithmic and High Frequency Traders Leverage Profitable Strategies to Find Alpha in Equities, Options, Futures and FX, September 25.

New York City, NY, USA (September 20, 2012) -- The Wall Street Journal' Scott Patterson reports that an insider of the secretive world of high-frequency trading is set to attack that industry on Capitol Hill, giving lawmakers a potential road map to address practices that critics say can put ordinary investors at a disadvantage and the financial system at risk. Just north in New York City, Edgar Perez will present The Speed Traders Workshop 2012, How High Frequency Traders Leverage Profitable Strategies to Find Alpha in Equities, Options, Futures and FX (http://www.thespeedtradersworkshop.com), on September 25.

Since rapid-fire trading firms now provide many of the buy and sell orders that support the market, investors are at the mercy of automated systems that can run amok during volatile times.

Regulators are looking into whether exchanges, in a rush to gain the business of high-frequency firms, have provided advantages to some sophisticated trading firms that allow them to trade profitably at the expense of other investors, according to people familiar with the continuing probes. High-frequency trading accounts for some two-thirds of all trading volume, experts say.

The SEC is conducting an inquiry into whether high-frequency firms use those order types to jump in front of other investors. In a page-one article Wednesday, The Wall Street Journal reported that Haim Bodek, who helped run a high-frequency trading firm, told SEC enforcement officials last year that he believed exchanges were giving certain sophisticated trading firms special advantages that helped them beat out other investors.

The Speed Traders Workshop 2012 New York promises to reveal how high-frequency trading players are succeeding in the global markets and driving the development of algorithmic trading at breakneck speeds from the U.S. and Europe to India, Singapore and Brazil. The Flash Crash, the suspended BATS IPO, the botched Facebook IPO and Knight Capital’s trading malfunction are just a few of the events in the history of high-frequency trading that will be dissected at The Speed Traders Workshop 2012.

Who should attend? Anybody involved with Algorithmic Trading, Automated Trading, Commodities, Commodities Trading, Credit Derivatives, Dark Pools Trading, Data Monitoring / Analysis, DMA Analysts, Derivatives Trading, Electronic Execution, Electronic Trading, Equity Trading, Exchange-Traded Instruments, Family Offices, Financial Engineering, Fixed Income / Currencies Trading, Futures, Hedge Funds Traders and Managers, High-Frequency Trading, Information Technology, Institutional Investors, Investment Banking, Market Makers, Operations, Options, Over-the-counter Derivatives, Portfolio Management, Proprietary Trading, Quantitative Trading, Regulatory Entities, Risk Management, Analysis and Control, Statistical Arbitrage, Structured Products Hedging and Trading Technology.

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), in Mandarin by China Financial Publishing House (2012) and currently being translated into Bahasa Indonesia.

Botox ® Training and Beyond: The IAPAM Offers Education in the Top 5 Non-Surgical Treatments

The IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposium offers the most comprehensive clinical botox ® training for physicians looking to add aesthetic medicine to their existing practices, or to launch a new medical spa. The IAPAM's Symposium offers training in all the top 5 minimally invasive modalities, to ensure that physicians add both in-demand procedures and maximum profit to their practices.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA - September 18, 2012 -- At the IAPAM's (http://www.iapam.com) Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox ® Training, physicians learn botox ® best practices as well as how to incorporate other complementary aesthetic procedures like physician directed skincare and chemical peels into a successful practice.

While injectables are important, physicians have found that more profit can be realized by packaging injectables with other modalities, such as microdermabrasion or laser skin rejuvenation.

In the newest video in the IAPAM's Symposium Preview video series, Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the IAPAM, outlines the economic benefits of packaging injectables with other modalities, such as medical microderm, chemical peels or physician directed skin care, and the IAPAM's Symposium offers instruction in all these aesthetic medicine modalities.


In the aforementioned video, Mr. Russell explains that there is little profit in only offering Botox ®. One only makes $100-150 a patient and the physician only sees a patient 3 times a year, so for an entire year one makes $300-450 for one Botox ® patient. Whereas, the cost to provide a chemical peel treatment is $25 ($20 labour, $5 products) and the retail is typically around $125, so the profit is $100, and the patient needs to come back once a month, so with a chemical peel patient, the physician makes $1,200/year versus $300-450 for a Botox ® patient. The IAPAM's Symposium teaches is how to combine these modalities so physicians can make $1,650/year per patient (plus another $300-500 on skin care and mineral makeup sales).

What is important to the IAPAM is that when physicians finish the weekend, they have everything they need to start offering aesthetics procedures right afterwards. That is why the IAPAM also includes a 19 DVD training kit, that covers all of the operational parts of an aesthetic practice as well as a clinical overview of Botox ® and dermal filler injections.

Finally, Mr. Russell shares that, "we are hearing from our members that physician directed skin care, as well as chemical peels and microdermabrasion are in tremendous demand by patients, and we are seeing a correlating increase in the demand for our Symposium training. Physicians are realizing they not only need to offer botox ® treatments to their patients, but also laser hair removal, IPL skin rejuvenation, etc. Organizations, like the IAPAM, educate doctors on how to package treatments for the most appealing and profitable outcomes." Mr. Russell has also received comments from IAPAM members regarding "the importance of adding an hCG/medical weight management offering to patients, in order to grow a practice."

For more information on the next Aesthetic Medicine Symposium and/or the IAPAM's hCG/Physician Weight Loss Training, please see http://www.iapam.com or contact the IAPAM at 1-800-219-5108.

NanoMarkets Announces Upcoming Report Titled, "Markets and Materials for Thin-Film, DSC and Organic PV Encapsulation - 2012" Due in Early October 2012

NanoMarkets today announced that it will release a new report that analyzes the commercial development and opportunities for photovoltaic (PV) encapsulation. The report titled, "Markets and Materials for Thin-Film, DSC and Organic PV Encapsulation - 2012" will be available in early October of 2012.

Glen Allen, Virginia - September 18, 2012 -- Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced that it will release a new report that analyzes the commercial development and opportunities for photovoltaic (PV) encapsulation. The report titled, "Markets and Materials for Thin-Film, DSC and Organic PV Encapsulation - 2012" will be available in early October of 2012. Additional details about the report are available at http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/Markets_Materials_for_Thin-Film_and_Organic_PV_Encapsulation-2012.

About the Report:

Thin-film, DSC and organic PV are notoriously vulnerable to oxygen and water vapor; much more so than conventional crystalline silicon PV. NanoMarkets believes that as these newer forms of solar panel technology become ever more pervasive, it is creating a growing opportunity to supply cost-effective encapsulation technology into the PV space.

Although, in the not-too-distant past, several firms have tried to exploit similar opportunities without success, NanoMarkets now believes that the time is right for PV encapsulation to lead to significant revenue generation for well-prepared companies and this report is designed to assist a variety of firms in preparing for the PV encapsulation opportunity.

- Firms that have targeted the PV encapsulation space will learn which of the several novel encapsulation technologies that are now emerging will be success in the PV market and which sectors of the market will be most receptive to them. In particular, this report examines the implications for encapsulation makers of the rise of flexible PV for BIPV and other applications. Our analysis here takes into account the differing objectives of key encapsulation firms, which include large multinationals like 3M and Corning to specialty firms such as Tera Barrier Films and Beneq.

- The report also provides guidance to firms providing thin-film, DSC and organic PV, showing how improved encapsulation can be leveraged by such firms to create larger addressable markets. This discussion of encapsulation-related opportunities for PV suppliers is set in the context of today's PV industry with its poor margins and technological uncertainties. The report will also be important to the building products industry, since encapsulation is a key enabling technology for building-integrated PV (BIPV), expected to be the fastest growing sector of the PV industry over the next decade and a diversification opportunity.

- NanoMarkets also believes this report will also be of considerable interest to the glass industry, since even though rigid and heavy we anticipate that glass will continue to be the most widely used material for encapsulation for PV technology. In particular, this report we provide guidance on the revenues that glass firms can expect to generate from the non-conventional PV sector.

In this report NanoMarkets provides eight-year forecasts of PV encapsulation markets in both value ($ millions) and volume (area of material) shipped. Breakouts are by type of encapsulation technology used and type of PV. In addition, this report appraises the product/market strategies being adopted by the leading active in thin-film, OPV and DSC encapsulation.

What's Age Got to Do With It? Keynotes Singles Extravaganza, Oct 13, 2012, Marriott San Francisco Airport

Clothes have a language of their own. Did you know that your style transmits a certain message within the first thirty seconds of an encounter?

San Rafael, CA, September 15, 2012 -- WHAT'S AGE GOT TO DO WITH IT? KEYNOTES ANNUAL SINGLES EXTRAVAGANZA

Fashion consultant and author Gwen Mazer, who has provided personal image and style services to many, including Oprah, will keynote this year's Singles Extravaganza, Saturday, October 13, 2012, 7:30pm-Midnight, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Grand Peninsula Ballroom, 1333 Bayshore Hwy, Burlingame CA 94010. Her topic is What's Age Got to Do with It? Having Great Style at EVERY Age. Ms Mazer will also transform several singles in attendance as she demonstrates complete fashion makeovers and the fashion factors that attract.

"Clothes talk," says Gwen Mazer. "When you are looking to date what is it you want to communicate with the way you are dressed? Your personal style creates a sense of your personality and character. It is not about having a flawless figure or physique or wearing the latest touted fashion trend. Feeling confident about your appearance puts you more at ease with yourself and others."

"Terrible style advice can be found everywhere", says Ms Mazer, "much of it from opinionated bloggers with no fashion background to inform their ideas about real style. The tasteless, Hollywood, celebrity style of the Kardashians with their own clothing collection may be fine for the lifestyle they live out for their fans. They provide bad style advice, hardly what you want to present as your personal style signature in the real world."

Gwen Mazer is the author of Wise Talk Wild Women and a former fashion editor for Harper's Bazaar. Her advice has been featured by The San Francisco Chronicle and numerous other newspapers, radio, and TV shows. Gwen Mazer is available to the news media for interviews by calling 415/922-7935. Her website is http://www.gwenmazer.com.

The Extravaganza opens at 7pm with exhibits from the leading singles organizations of the Bay Area. It continues at 7:30pm with Ms Mazer's Keynote Address & Fashion Makeovers. Singles Extravaganza concludes with a Dance Party, 9pm-Midnight. Adults of all ages are welcome. The cost is $20 at the door.

NanoMarkets Announces Upcoming Report Titled, OLED Encapsulation Materials Markets - 2012 Due in Early October 2012

NanoMarkets today announced that it will release a new report that analyzes the commercial development and opportunities for OLED encapsulation.

Glen Allen, Virginia - September 14, 2012 -- Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced that it will release a new report that analyzes the commercial development and opportunities for OLED encapsulation. The report titled, "OLED Encapsulation Materials Markets - 2012" will be available in early October of 2012 and follows recent NanoMarkets reports on OLED display and lighting materials markets. Additional details about the report are available at http://www.nanomarkets.net.

About the Report:

The report analyzes the latest technical and market developments in the both OLED encapsulation materials and deposition strategies and it also contains granular eight-year forecasts of the revenues that we expect to be generated from this business, along with quantities of materials shipped. These in-depth forecasts are broken out by both product type and application within the OLED space.

OLED encapsulation sector has changed considerably in the past two years. OLED displays have gone mainstream and OLED lighting is not far behind. At the same time, novel ways to encapsulate OLEDs - notably Atomic Layer Deposition ALD -- have become available for high throughput production of OLEDs for the first time. NanoMarkets therefore believes that now is the time for its clients to become better acquainted with opportunities emerging from this important sector:

• This report will clarify for companies offering the latest encapsulation technologies - such as dyad encapsulation and ALD - where they can best find early revenues in the OLED space for their innovative new approaches to encapsulation. The report also sets out the opportunities for other, more conventional materials firms contemplating entry - or already involved - in the OLED encapsulation sector.

• OLED display and lighting panel manufacturers will learn from this report, how recent leaps forward in encapsulation technology are enabling new applications for OLEDs, such as televisions and larger lighting panels for the office. Will encapsulation prove to be the enabler that takes OLEDs into important new addressable markets?

• This report will help the glass industry understand where to make investments in the OLED space. Despite the recent surge in new encapsulation approaches available to the OLED industry, it is widely understood that for the foreseeable future OLEDs will be mostly encapsulated in glass. This report identifies what special requirements glass encapsulation must meet to be suitable for the OLED market. It also analyzes some of the newer glasses that certain firms have recently brought to market, specifically designed for the OLED space along with the prospects for flexible glass in OLED encapsulation.

In addition to above analysis, this definitive report on the markets for OLED encapsulation also names the winners and losers in this market and examines the product development and marketing strategies of major players in the OLED encapsulation sector, from large multinationals like 3M and Corning to specialty firms like Beneq, UDC, and Tera Barrier Films.

NanoMarkets Announces Upcoming Report Titled, Advanced Glazing Systems Markets - 2012 Due in Early October 2012

NanoMarkets today announced that it will release a new report in early October 2012 that will analyze the commercial prospects for advanced glazing systems.

Glen Allen, Virginia - September 14, 2012 -- Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced that it will release a new report in early October 2012 that will analyze the commercial prospects for advanced glazing systems. The report titled, "Advanced Glazing Systems Markets - 2012" examines the revenue potential for both the window industry itself and firms supplying the materials - glass, plastics and sealants -- for advanced glazing systems. It also looks at how the world of advanced glazing can profitably innovate by drawing on the technologies and insights of the smart windows, building-integrated PV (BIPV), and smart lighting businesses.

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

About the Report:

In an era of rising real energy prices and uncertainties about future energy supply NanoMarkets believes that a fast growing market for advanced glazing systems can be expected and that this will create profitable business opportunities for a wide variety of companies. In this new report, NanoMarkets has identified where these opportunities can be found and how much they will be worth. The report covers the full range of high-performance windows systems that provide thermal, visual and IR management using the latest materials:

- In this report, firms in the windows/glazing industry will find a comprehensive product roadmap for advanced glazing systems showing how windows products will evolve from the latest generation of highly insulated windows, through the incorporation of various dynamic glass (aka smart windows) technologies, and then on to systems with embedded solar and lighting functionality. Included in the analysis in this report is an examination of some of the high performance insulated windows and dynamic glass windows products that are already on the market.

- Because of the huge potential addressable market for high-tech windows and the fact that they are likely to use novel materials, this report also includes a comprehensive discussion and forecast of how materials needs will change in the glazing systems market over the next eight years and how materials and chemical firms can benefit from these changes. Among the materials covered will be smart materials, photoactive materials, glasses, plastics, framing materials, sealants, gasses, desiccants, etc.

- NanoMarkets also believes that this report will also be of considerable interest to both the solar panel industry and the solid-state lighting industry. Firms active in these industries will learn from this report how they can tap into the expected rapid growth of advanced glazing systems. In particular, we show how new opportunities will emerge for building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) companies and OLED firms to make money by implanting PV and lighting layers into high-performance windows products.

This report will also bring considerable insights to corporate planners throughout the building products and construction industries as well as architects and sophisticated investors. As with all NanoMarkets reports, this report contains detailed eight-year forecasts of the markets analyzed in this report in both value ($ millions) and volume (area) terms. Forecast breakouts are by end-user type, technology, materials used and geography. In addition, the report contains a thorough analysis of the product/market strategies of both giant firms - such as Alcoa, Saint-Gobain and Bayer - and the latest startups.

New Line of Digital Tire Pressure Gauges Launched by Promaster-Gauges

New Line of High End Digital Tire Pressure Gauges and Tire Inflators launched by Promaster-Gauges for those seeking a reliable and accurate Gauge.

Vancouver, Canada, September 13, 2012 -- A New Line of High End Digital Tire Pressure Gauges and Tire Inflators launched by Promaster-Gauges for those seeking a reliable and accurate Gauge.

These gauges and inflators read in Absolute Pressure and are temperature compensated. Absolute pressure readings meaning any atmospheric pressure differences, such as between being at sea level and being at the top of a mountain do not affect the readings. Temperature compensation is also included allowing for gauge readings in the middle of Summer to the middle of winter.

Many Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems work on "Absolute Pressure", which means atmospheric pressures do not affect them. This means you can get different readings from regular tire gauges when comparing to TPMS systems.

The new gauges from Promaster also have an ingress protection rating of IP65 for harsh environments.

Product is perfect for Tire Shops, Repair Shops, Cars, Large Trucks, RVs, Race Cars, Motorcycles, Industrial and Off-Road vehicles. Promaster-Gauges is a division of HawksHead Systems a leading supplier of aftermarket TPMS systems based out of the Vancouver, BC area.

The new gauges are backed by a 5 year warranty and come complete with their own protective storage bag to protect the gauge while not in use.

For more information please visit their website at http://www.promaster-gauges.com.
