Finding Love in 2013 Keynotes Singles Convention

#1 New Years Resolution for Singles is to find a romantic partner. The 2013 Singles Convention enables to do so.

San Rafael, CA, December 8, 2012 -- Dr. Wendy Lyon will keynote the 2013 Singles Convention, Friday, January 4, 2013, 7:30pm, at the Holiday Inn Tri-Valley, 6080 Regional Street, Dublin CA 94568. Her topic is "Finding Love in 2013."

"Finding love is always the #1 New Years Resolution singles have," says Dr. Wendy, "other than losing weight. Most singles believe they haven't found the love they want because All the good ones are taken or There's something wrong with me. Neither is likely to be true. The reason they haven't found a lasting relationship is because they have said YES at the wrong times to the wrong people in the wrong situations. The solution is to learn when and how to just say NO!"

Wendy Lyon, Ph.D., is a psychologist, master relationship and life coach, author, and speaker who has guided hundreds of people to personal and professional success. She co-authored Roadmap to Success with Deepak Chopra and Ken Blanchard. A regular contributor to radio and magazines, Dr. Wendy has been featured by View from the Bay, Cosmopolitan magazine, and many others.

FRA Welcomes Tetra Pak Sustainability Credentials

FRA has welcomed news that some 20 million cartons made by packaging giant Tetra Pak have carried the FSC logo in the past year.

Seattle, United States, December 8, 2012 -- Forestry Research Associates (FRA) has welcomed news that some 20 million cartons made by packaging giant Tetra Pak have carried the FSC logo in the past year.

This means that 20 million of the cartons were sourced from renewable forests, certified by the Forestry Stewardship Council. It also represents a major increase from the 8 million that carried the logo in 2010.

Håkan Wirtén, from WWF Sweden, welcomed the news. He said, "This is a clearly positive achievement which contributes to protect forests and improve forest management globally."

"WWF encourages Tetra Pak and other companies to continuously increase the use of FSC-certified materials and products."

The WWF charity advocates the use of FSC-certified timber in packaging, furniture and building supplies manufacture. FRA, a research and analysis consultancy, specialising in forestry investment issues, also backs the use of FSC-certified timber. "There is really no excuse not to use sustainably produced timber these days, as it is widely available to all," stated FRA's analysis partner, Peter Collins.

The Tetra Pak cartons have been carrying the FSC logo since 2007, when UK supermarket chain store Sainsbury's sold the first sustainably-sourced cartons. Now, the global brand supplies retailers in 39 countries with the FSC-certified cartons and continues to work towards improving its sustainability credentials all the time.

Tetra Pak's vice president of marketing, Charles Brand, said that its decision to go sustainable wasn't just to do with the boosting its credentials, but is also simply a response to consumer demand. "With more consumers and retailers demanding environmentally sound and ethically produced products, brands that carry the FSC label can attest that their products are packaged using material that has passed the toughest standards of responsible forest management."

FRA backs sustainable forestry projects and encourages investment in plantations that are run sustainably, like those operated by firms like Greenwood Management in Brazil.

AAA claims Alternatives becoming more Mainstream with Individuals

There have been further reports about large brokerage firms investing more in alternative investments, and it is all in response to demand from their customers, AAA has claimed.

Boston, MA, USA, December 8, 2012 -- There have been further reports about large brokerage firms investing more in alternative investments, and it is all in response to demand from their customers, Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) has claimed.

The alternative investment advocacy group has said that the days when only institutional investors looked towards alternatives are long gone and that average investors now call for less exposure to stocks and shares. Whether it be private equity, REITs, timberland investments or precious metals, alternatives are becoming increasingly 'the norm' for anyone that wants to reduce their exposure to risk by diversifying their portfolio.

As well as becoming more mainstream, alternative investments are also able to deliver some very high returns at a time when investing in traditional assets provides limited opportunity for a windfall. In fact, the volatility in the stock markets is what is attracting so many individuals to more left-field investments.

Investing in art, precious metals, wine and even antiques and whisky is growing in popularity. "People like to turn their hobby into an investment opportunity, particularly if they know the business," explained AAA's analysis partner, Anthony Johnson.

"Investors are also increasingly keen to see something in return for their investment, such as physical trees, a beautiful painting or a gold bar."

AAA supports alternative investments, but particularly backs ethical and ecologically-responsible options like sustainable forestry investments through firms like Greenwood Management. Greenwood runs plantations of non-native trees like acacia and teak, which grow fast and are managed in a cyclical way to ensure that new growth is always following when trees are cut and sold.

"The rise in popularity of these alternative investments is all based on demand for the products or the assets," explained Mr Johnson. "Much of this demand is coming from emerging economies like China and India, which are buying up huge amounts of raw materials to help with their urban developments."

About Alternative Asset Analysis:
The remit of Alternative Asset Analysis is to analyse and provide news on the global performance of a wide range of alternative asset classes including, but not restricted to, commodities, real estate, forestry, foreign exchange, hedge funds, private equity and venture capital.

NanoMarkets Issues Latest Report on Opportunities for Flexible Glass

NanoMarkets today announced the release of its report titled "Markets for Flexible Glass 2013" that analyzes and quantifies the opportunities for this novel material.

Glen Allen, Virginia - December 6, 2012 -- Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced the release of its report titled "Markets for Flexible Glass 2013" that analyzes and quantifies the opportunities for this novel material. NanoMarkets estimates that the market potential for flexible glass will surpass $600 million (USD) in 2017 with OLED displays and lighting becoming major growth factors within the business starting in 2018. Additional details about the report are available at: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/flexible_glass_markets_2013_and_beyondt.

About the Report:

Within the report NanoMarkets examines the product development and marketing strategies of the major players in the development and commercialization of flexible glass within the global glass industry. Major glass firms discussed include Corning, Nippon Electric Glass, Schott, Asahi Glass Company. We identify which firms are the "companies to watch" and which will be the likely winners and losers in the rise of flexible glass space.

The report also contains detailed, eight-year forecasts, in area (millions of square meters) and value ($US millions) terms of flexible glass used for both substrates and for encapsulation broken out application. Forecasts are also broken out by device format, i.e. in terms of rigid vs. flexible panels.

Applications covered include:
- LCDs
- OLED displays
- E-Paper displays
- OLED lighting
- Photovoltaic (PV) panels, and
- Sensors (including touch sensors) and other, electronic components.

From the Report:

In the past year, the flexible glass sector has expanded its commercialization efforts, and most of the major glass firms have ramped up activities. Global glass giant Corning officially released its 100 µm-thick Willow Glass - in roll, sheet, and ITO-coated sheet form - in 2012, and is targeting lightweight products in the display sector. Meanwhile, Asahi Glass, NEG, and Schott have also continued their efforts to commercialize thin, flexible glass products, for applications in displays, touch sensors, and PV panels.

The most immediate selling point for flexible glass is that it has the potential to provide a lighter-weight and lower-cost alternative to rigid glass for the burgeoning mobile communications and computing sectors. The firm cautions that flexible glass prices today remain quite high and they will need to come down substantially for flexible glass to meet its potential and gain widespread adoption.

Other findings from the report include:

- The overall flexible glass market is expected to be valued at about $130 million in 2013, and the value is expected to exceed $2.1 billion by the end of the forecast period in 2020.

- The value of flexible glass used in intrinsically flexible devices (flexible displays, flexible solar panels, etc.) is expected to grow from a value of only about $7 million in 2013 to more than $260 million by 2020, or about 13 percent of the total market value.

- OLEDs - both displays and lighting - are expected to be a key growth area for flexible glass, since the material can be used both as a flexible substrate and to provide superior barrier performance. The market for flexible glass in OLEDs is expected to have a value of about $4 million in 2013, and the value is expected to grow to nearly $700 million by 2020, thereby accounting for about one-third of the total market for flexible glass.

NanoMarkets Releases Latest Report Analyzing the Market for Smart Glass in the Automotive Sector

NanoMarkets has published a new report titled "Smart Glass in the Automotive Sector - 2013."

Glen Allen, Virginia - December 5, 2012 -- Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets has published a new report titled "Smart Glass in the Automotive Sector - 2013." This report projects that revenues from smart glass and related coatings sold to the automotive sector will reach $3.5 billion by 2018.


This report provides an in-depth analysis of the worldwide automotive smart glass market, covering self-tinting, self-cleaning, self-healing and device-embedded glass. Eight-year revenue forecasts are included with break outs by type of materials, functionality and the applications within the vehicle in which smart glass is used. The smart glass applications covered are windshields, mirrors, sunroofs, other automotive windows and dashboards.

The companies discussed in this report include: 3M, American Glass, Apple, ASG, AutoGlass, Balcony Systems, BASF, Bayer, Cardinal, Carlex, ChromoGenics, Corning, Dow Chemical, Gentex, Guardian, Hitachi, Hypho Technology, NeoView Kolon, Nissan, NSG/Pilkington, Pleotint, RavenBrick, Research Frontiers, Saint-Gobain, Samsung, Solutia/Eastman, Sage, and others. The report also discusses adoption strategies for smart glass by the major automobile and light truck companies.

More from the report:

NanoMarkets' bullish view of automotive smart glass is fostered by the fact that smart glass is used to promote safety, style and fuel economy; exactly the factors that have led to new technology deployment in the automotive sector for decades. Today, dimmable mirrors are the only automotive application that uses large amounts of smart glass; they currently account for well over $450 million in annual smart glass consumption. However, novel coatings based on nanomaterials and biomaterials will emerge that will bring self-cleaning and self-repairing glass up to performance levels suitable for use in automotive applications.

Windshield glass usage in individual vehicles continues to increase as does the number of models with large areas of roof glass. Glass is also important to the worldwide trend towards smaller vehicles; greater use of glass generates an impression of light and space. This presents the smart glass suppliers with a growing addressable market, despite the automotive market being in the doldrums. Some small vehicles now have as many as 15 glazed apertures, many fundamental to the overall appearance of the vehicle.

The windshield should be the main target for automotive smart glass suppliers over the next decade and NanoMarkets expects the windshield aperture to consume $1.3 billion in smart glass products by 2018. Smart glass efforts are leading to such concepts as the wiperless windshield, the smart solar windshield and the self-repairing windshield.

Smart glass sales for automotive information systems are also likely to grow fast. Such systems already use touch-screen technology with a large-area touch sensor embedded in the top glass. In the future we will see more glass-embedded sensors that turn on lights or wipers as outside conditions vary. Augmented displays for navigation purposes will also require smart glass in both windshields and instrument panels; windshields will have to be treated with a reflective coating on one side and an anti-reflective coating on the other for data to be projected onto the dashboard. Sales of smart glass for device-embedded applications such as these will generate $710 million by 2018.

Los Angeles, CA, USA (November 29, 2012) -- T5 Data Centers, innovators in providing state-of-the-art, customizable, and highly reliable computing support for any enterprise, today announced the completion and commissioning of its new T5@LA data center at 444 North Nash Street, El Segundo, California. The T5 team has successfully commissioned the first 3.7-megawatts (3.7 MWs) of what will ultimately be 16.65 MWs of critical power, so the new data center is ready for mission-critical operations for lease to enterprise customers.

In addition, T5 announced the signing of the first lease at T5@LA. The Los Angeles based critical infrastructure agency is the first enterprise customer and will occupy a custom-built data hall. They selected T5@LA because of the facility's seismic rating, dedicated power supply, and redundant systems that ensure uninterrupted service. They also selected T5 Data Centers because of the company's reputation for reliability and data security. Occupancy will be in 2013.

The new T5@LA data center is a purpose-built, 205,000-square-foot building on a 6.1 acre site. Designed as a high-quality, fully equipped wholesale data center, the facility is customizable to customer needs and features 120,000 square feet of raised floor. The building is built from structurally enhanced steel and has been designed to withstand earthquakes with a seismic importance factor of 1.5. T5@LA also has a dedicated, on-site power substation to ensure high reliability of electricity at a reduced "wholesale" cost.

"Los Angeles has been an underserved market for server-ready data center services" said Pete Marin, President of T5. "T5@LA is the first purpose built wholesale data center in the Los Angeles basin. We're seeing great demand for our high quality and super-efficient design."

The new T5@LA data center was designed for large enterprise customers seeking a customizable, "always-on" computing environment. The facility takes advantage of cool coastal air to help chill the data halls via an indirect evaporative process that uses approximately half the energy of traditional data center designs. T5 maintains round-the-clock engineering and support staff, as well as redundant systems to deliver the best service possible as well as peace of mind. The company already supports a number of Fortune 200 companies at its other data center facilities.

"We are very excited to welcome our first tenant to T5@LA," said Aaron Wangenheim Executive Vice President of T5, responsible for marketing and leasing. "T5@LA was chosen by this discerning customer because of our ability to deliver the right solution and the right efficiencies. Their critical applications required the most resilient data center possible, and we're excited to welcome them to T5@LA.”

10 Ways to Have an Energy Fit Holiday

The holidays can be an expensive time of year with plenty of gift giving, house guests and festive décor, making an impact on the wallet. While FPL customers already have the lowest energy bills in the state, the company is helping its customers make their bills even lower with 10 Ways to Have an Energy Fit Holiday.

Juno Beach, FL (November 28, 2012) -- The holidays can be an expensive time of year with plenty of gift giving, house guests and festive décor, making an impact on the wallet. While FPL customers already have the lowest energy bills in the state, the company is helping its customers make their bills even lower with 10 Ways to Have an Energy Fit Holiday.

"Getting ready for the holidays can require a lot of energy, but most people probably aren't thinking about the energy costs when it comes to entertaining, gift buying and decorating," said Tim Fitzpatrick, vice president of Marketing & Communication for FPL. "The holidays are all about traditions, so by adding these energy-efficient changes FPL customers can be energy fit for years to come."

1. Deck the halls with LEDs. When it comes to holiday lighting, LED lights are the bright choice to get you more for your money. The amount of power it takes to operate just one 7-watt incandescent holiday bulb could power two 24-foot LED strings - enough to light a six foot tree. Additionally, LED light strings last about 10 times longer.

2. Set time on your side. Set timers for your holiday displays to turn off before bedtime so there is no need to burn the lights all night long.

3. Switch your non-holiday lights. Before overnight guests arrive, switch out guest room and common area lighting to compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs. Each CFL bulb you install will save you about $50 in energy costs over the life of the bulb.

4. Turn it off. Remind guests to turn off lights and fans when they leave the room. Stopping one ceiling fan from running all the time and turning at least one light off when you leave the room can save you more than $7 a month on your electric bill.

5. Stop peeking! Ovens lose a lot of heat when opened and require significant energy to heat back up to the appropriate temperature. Instead, when you have to sneak-a-peek, turn the oven light on and look through the interior window.

6. Choose glass or ceramic pans for the oven. These pans heat faster than metal ones and allow you to set the temperature 25 degrees lower than a recipe suggests for the same cooking time.

7. Don't forget your crock-pot. Use smaller appliances such as crock-pots, microwaves and toaster ovens when possible. These can be much more energy-efficient for side dishes or small meals.

8. Select energy-efficient electronics. When it comes to buying gifts for your loved ones, opt for a laptop computer over a desktop computer. Laptop computers require 50 to 80 percent less power than a desktop computer.

9. Let the star be your guide. Look for the ENERGY STAR logo when purchasing larger electronics or appliances. Newer ENERGY STAR models meet stricter requirements and can save up to 40 percent on energy over standard models.

10. Give the gift of light. Use solar-powered pathway or security lights for your home or as a gift to the person who loves being outside in the evening.
