Asia Pacific Real Estate Investment Boom revealed by AAA

The real estate market in the Asia Pacific region is expected to continue to see a strong performance for the remainder of the year, Jones Lang LaSalle and Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) have claimed.

Boston, MA, USA - August 23, 2011 -- The real estate market in the Asia Pacific region is expected to continue to see a strong performance for the remainder of the year, Jones Lang LaSalle and Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) have claimed.

Internal research by AAA, an alternative investment advocacy group, supports the Jones Lang LaSalle findings which show that investment volumes have increased by 11.1 per cent in August 2011, compared with August last year. Targets for the year as a whole are for some $100 billion of deals to be completed in the Asia-Pacific region, the report explained.

Jones Lang LaSalle’s head of capital markets for the region, John Talbot, said, “Investors who are interested in diversification of their portfolios are likely to be attracted to real estate in the region, based on cash flow from rent with the potential to keep pace with inflation. We have seen a series of institutional investors increase their allocations to real estate, sustaining market volumes.”

AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson, said, “It’s the same story we are hearing from those involved in several different alternative asset classes at the moment.

“Investors are eager to put their money into safer funds and investment opportunities to make sure their cash is not tied too closely to the equity markets.”

There were a large number of deals in Australia, where buyers from markets including Canada, the US and Switzerland looked to buy up property because of its strong links to Asia. Domestically, China was the largest dealmaker in the real estate market, with over $5 billion of deals so far.

AAA claims that investment in alternative asset classes that make the most of the growing Asian economies are a strong option for those looking to diversify. Mr Johnson said, “There are several investment opportunities that are well placed to make the most of China’s and India’s booming economies.

“Real estate is one, but forestry is another. Investment through firms like Greenwood Management, which runs plantations in Brazil, help to provide Asia with the raw materials they need for growth, while helping protect the world’s resources for generations to come.”

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.

Ten International Authors Deliver Diverse Anthology

Authors from the US, UK, Canada and Australia pool their talents to create BestSellerBound.com’s Anthology 2.

Sarasota, Florida, August 23, 2011 -- Under the direction of Quiet Fury Book’s Darcia Helle, ten authors from the US, UK, Canada and Australia have delivered short stories to create Best Seller Bound’s Anthology 2.

The ten featured authors are: What Was Lost by James Sophi, The Art of Breathing by Jaime McDougall, Soul Windows by Jaleta Clegg, I Didn't Know His Name by Darcia Helle, Red Route by James Everington, Make A Wish by Susan Helene Gottfried, The Last Chance Motel and Mausoleum by Joel Blaine Kirkpatrick, Isolation by Maria Savva, Beyond The Green Hills by Tom Gahan, From Joy We Come, Unto Joy We Return by Ami Blackwelder.

London based book critic and resident author at BestsellerBound.com said, “The BSB (http://www.BestSellerBound.com) Short Story Anthology - Volume 2, is a wonderful collection of short stories by members of BestsellerBound.com. Having had success on Amazon with Volume 1, Darcia (BsB’s creator) decided to make this an ongoing project. On BSB we are dedicated to finding ways to promote our members’ work. Independent writers often struggle to get their books noticed. The short story anthologies are our way of bringing some of the great talent we have on our board into the public eye. The collections are available free to download, and we hope readers will find new authors to enjoy by checking out their short stories. Most of the contributors also have novels and other short story collections available, so the anthologies are a way of introducing unknown authors to the reading public. I continue to be amazed by the quality of writing being produced by self-published and independent writers. At BSB, we don't want to keep it secret... there's a whole world of books that readers are missing out on by only buying the bestsellers. In Volume 2 alone, there are at least three stories that stood out to me as masterpieces.”

The 27,300 word BestSellerBound Short Story Anthology 2, edited by Darcia Helle, is available as a free download in various formats at Smashwords.com http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/78449#longdescr, and currently as a 99 cent download at Amazon.com’s Kindle Store http://www.amazon.com/BestsellerBound-Short-Story-Anthology-ebook/dp/B005FMSI66/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1314114024&sr=1-1.

Darcia Helle said, “I am honored to be part of a community of authors who are not only immensely talented but are also overwhelmingly generous and truly nice people. Our hope is that our words will entertain you, move you, make you smile, give you a shiver and maybe make you cry.”

Tom Gahan, author of Harmony Bay, a contributor to the anthology and marketing director at First Edition Design eBook Publishing (http://www.firsteditiondesignpublishing) stated, “eBooks have opened doors for writers that were never possible before. With a few mouse clicks a writer can put their work on the road to a worldwide audience. This anthology is providing another vehicle for these authors to ride in on the cyber-highway.”

Clues to HIV Persistence on ART

Recent research has found that while antiretroviral therapy (ART) is effective at significantly reducing the number of plasma-to-T-cell transmissions of HIV, it’s not as effective against T-cell-to-T-cell. The remaining virus hides in infected T-cells, which allows it to easily be passed on to non-infected ones; this, in fact, is one of the reasons why HIV persists through ART.

Toulon, France, August 23, 2011 – HIV has a built-in backup plan when it comes to its survival. While scientific technology has progressed to the point where antiretroviral drugs can effectively kill HIV viruses in the body that are out in the open, HIV persists in places where the drugs can't get to them. These places are called HIV reservoirs, and these reservoirs ensure that small batches of virus remain in the body, ready to replicate when necessary. This is part of what makes HIV a chronic infection-the remaining virus finds ways to remain dormant in the body until activated. Research is now focusing on cracking the case of HIV persistence.

The goal of researchers now is to remove the “chronic” term from the chronic illness that is HIV and come up with a cure for the disease. A better understanding of HIV and how it infects people to begin with might be the key to discovering ways to enter the reservoirs within the body and eliminate the virus. As we already know, HIV infects cells in two ways: through blood plasma contact with T-cells, and from infected T-cells to non-infected T-cells. Antiretroviral drugs, while effective, don't remove the entire virus quantity, and all it takes is for one HIV virus to remain behind for the replication to continue.

Recent research has found that while antiretroviral therapy (ART) is effective at significantly reducing the number of plasma-to-T-cell transmissions of HIV, it’s not as effective against T-cell-to-T-cell. The remaining virus hides in infected T-cells, which allows it to easily be passed on to non-infected ones; this, in fact, is one of the reasons why HIV persists through ART. To use a football analogy, ART is able to intercept passes through the air (plasma) from one cell to another, but it can't stop direct handoffs. A strategy is needed to defend against each separately, because the same defense can't be used against both.

Even with antiretroviral drugs present, infected T-cells can still infect other T-cells in close quarters instead of through the bloodstream; this often happens in the lymph nodes. Therefore, in order to find an actual cure for HIV, researchers need to find a way to deal with HIV reservoirs filled with both latent HIV virus and active virus that is transmitted from cell-to-cell. The clues to HIV persistence are clear, but this is one of those situations where the answer seems obvious but the path toward deriving the answer is extremely difficult.

Join Lindsay Wagner in the welcoming setting of the Blackfoot Inn in Calgary, Alberta for a three-day "Quiet the Mind & Open the Heart" workshop. This workshop is an opportunity to explore how life is perceived through the stencil of the mind, release negative emotions and heal old wounds and experience the Oneness Deeksha, which effortlessly initiates opening to a greater experience of connectedness, feeling more whole inside and allowing peace, clarity and unconditional love to emerge.

Los Angeles, CA, August 22, 2011 -- Join Lindsay Wagner in the elegant setting of the Hilton Hotel in Palm Springs, CA for a three-day "Quiet the Mind & Open the Heart" workshop.

“The study and sharing of the integration of Body, Mind and Spirit to awaken our amazing human potential has always been my greatest passion. One of the most empowering realizations I've had is that our experience of any life circumstance is a function of personal perspective, more than the circumstance itself; that as our perspective changes so does our experience.” Lindsay Wagner

In a safe and loving environment participants will explore how we perceive life is perceived through the stencil of the mind. Participants will learn a system of tapping the acupuncture points with the fingers and other techniques for easily releasing negative emotions and breaking through undesirable patterns that affect family dynamics, intimate relations, friendships, the work place and yes, even your golf game.

Woven throughout the program are beautiful music, relaxation, visualization and the Oneness Deeksha, a healing energy meditation that effortlessly initiates opening to a greater experience of connectedness, feeling more whole inside and allowing peace, clarity and unconditional love to emerge.

The Oneness Deeksha is an exquisite method to help on the journey of awakening. Lindsay is a Oneness Deeksha (Blessing) Trainer as well as a facilitator of other energy medicine techniques.

The flow of this transformative energy works to activate the body's natural energies, the kundalini and the chakras, and serves to intelligently guide the recipient on an individual, unique journey into higher states of consciousness, and ultimately into the state of Oneness.

Clopton’s founder, Jake Clopton, explained that the current volatility within the traditional asset classes, such as stocks and shares, means money is being transferred into alternatives to try to reduce the risk held in American investment portfolios. Mr Clopton explained to the press: “For those in the risky and possibly more lucrative mind set of investing in hedge funds, real estate and other alternatives to the low risk less potent investments, Clopton Capital has an excellent solution that carries both massive potential and relatively low risk."

Analysts at Clopton said they expect to take a year or more to built a clientele of affluent investors, but that they will then have exceptionally strong retention rates.

AAA supports investment in funds, such as the one offered by Clopton, but it is also keen to promote the range of direct investment opportunities there are available for those looking to move toward alternatives.

The analysis organization’s partner, Anthony Johnson, who has years of fund management experience, said, “For those eager to find new and lucrative ways to invest while minimizing risk held in their portfolios, there are a huge range of ethical and alternative options out there.”

AAA’s analysts claim that investing in forestry in emerging markets is a winning formula, with firms like Greenwood Management offering individuals the chance to buy up valuable forested land in Brazil, where non-native timbers are grown for export and use domestically in the booming steel industry.

Mr Johnson explained more: “Brazil is the place to put your cash at the moment. With the World Cup and the Olympics all heading there in the coming few years, along with an increasingly strong economy, industry is booming and the nationals are eager to spend their cash.”

FRA: Saints latest to direct investment towards forestry

Forestry Research Associates has welcomed the reports that the Scottish American Investment Company has diversified from stocks and shares into forestry investment.

Seattle, United States, August 20, 2011 -- Forestry Research Associates has lauded the actions of the Scottish American Investment Company which has announced its diversification from purely stocks and shares into forestry investment.

The firm, which is known as Saints, is the latest of a procession of major investment firms to choose forestry investment as a way of diversifying funds.

Saints now has a far more diversified portfolio than many of its rival funds, with interests in debts, real estate and forestry. FRA’s analysis partner, Peter Collins, stated, “The decision to opt for more alternative investments is a wise move from Saints. Their fund is much less vulnerable to the variations in the equity markets, which, from recent experience, could make a fund considerably more attractive to investors."

Returns for investors are high and risk is lower than for similar products elsewhere. FRA explains that investing in forested land comes with minimal risk, as if the trees are worth less when they are at maturity, investors can simply hold onto them until timber prices rise. “In the meantime the trees continue to grow of course,” added Mr Collins.

FRA encourages investment in renewable forest schemes, such as the plantations scheme run by Greenwood Management in Brazil. Mr Collins added, “This investment opportunity is popular as it offers a direct investment opportunity, which means investors actually own a section of forest and will receive the value of the timber once fully grown.”

Figures also show that forestry investment can often result in better returns than stocks and shares can offer.

The news of the Saints’ decision to invest in alternatives follows news that several major pension funds are also opting to diversify into more alternative assets classes, such as precious metals, commercial property, forestry and even antiques and art. The move towards less emphasis on equities comes in response to pressure from investors who do not want to risk losing large amounts of money on stock market crashes.

Properly Hydrating Your Body: There's More To It Than Just Drinking Water

"Early on in our study of human diet, we often noticed that our personal hydration levels increased after consuming fruits and vegetables," say Dian Griesel, Ph.D., and Tom Griesel, co-authors of TurboCharged.

New York, NY, USA - August 20, 2011 -- Over the course of humanity’s evolutionary past, almost everything we ate had a very high percentage of water. For example, fruits, vegetables, eggs and raw animal protein are composed of somewhere between 70% to 96% water. The ramifications of this fact are worth examining.

“Early on in our study of human diet, we often noticed that our personal hydration levels increased after consuming fruits and vegetables,” say Dian Griesel, Ph.D., and Tom Griesel, co-authors of TurboCharged: Accelerate Your Fat Burning Metabolism, Get Lean Fast and Leave Diet and Exercise Rules in the Dust (April 2011, BSH). “We observed this effect on a consistent basis, and we used to wonder why-particularly since we were drinking adequate amounts of water.”

In July 2009, the Daily Mail reported on a research study performed at the University of Aberdeen Medical School in Scotland. The study found that some fruits and vegetables might hydrate our bodies twice as effectively as a glass of water. This confirmed the Griesels’ observation about their hydration levels, and ensured that a focus on fruit and vegetable consumption was given a top spot in their TurboCharged program.

HIV Eradication Now and Then - Time to Take Action Toward an HIV Cure

With a combined effort and continued research the goal of ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic seems more in reach when comparing HIV Eradication Now and Then. It will take an ongoing combined effort, but with continued research a cure could be near.

Toulon, France (August 20, 2011) -- When HIV/AIDS first began infecting people the likelihood of a cure seemed out of reach. Patients were treated and learned to live with the fact that they had a disease with no hope of restoral to health. Their illness was terminal and they faced a certain death from complications associated with the disease. In 1996, antiretroviral drugs were a new hope, not for a cure but to suppress the disease and give people a chance to live a longer more productive life with the illness. Researchers have discovered new treatments and have made strides when comparing the possibility of HIV Eradication Now and Then.

The promising outlook of successfully treating with antiretroviral drugs was short-lived as researchers discovered that what they called ‘reservoirs,’ which are places where the lingering virus lies in wait and emerge when the patient discontinues the drugs. The virus is then ready to flourish again attacking the CD4 immune cells. Research continues and the future looks a little brighter when comparing HIV eradication now and then, as the International AIDS Society and others have joined together once again in a renewed effort to find a cure for HIV/AIDS. The IAS continues to seek funding and support for cure-related science to continue.

The most recent research has brought about hope in the form of a functional cure, which means the virus is not totally eradicated from the body, but permanently suppressed. To suppress the virus would mean to stop replication and reduce the reservoirs, so that long-term remission of patients is possible. The IAS strategy is to raise awareness and obtain widespread support globally for the new research to address HIV persistence in some patients and further studies on the reservoirs. With a global outreach and support the realization of a cure or suppression is more promising when comparing HIV Eradication Now and Then.

Three main objectives exist in the research for HIV/AIDs. These objectives include recognition of the need for a safe HIV/AIDS therapeutic and preventive plan to help control the continuing AIDS epidemic, commitment to encourage a combination of both international and multidisciplinary research for an AIDS cure and encourage contributions for research from organizations, stakeholders and international leaders. With a combined effort and continued research the goal of ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic seems more in reach when comparing HIV Eradication Now and Then. It will take an ongoing combined effort, but with continued research a cure could be near.
