Luxury Travel Ltd Unveils Private Day Trip to Vung Tau Beach for Saigon Based Travelers

Luxury Tour Operator (www.luxurytravelvietnam.com) Unveils Private Day Trip to Vung Tau Beach from Saigon Every Day.

Hanoi, Vietnam, August 23, 2012 -- Vung Tau, located at about 125 kilometers to the southeast of Ho Chi Minh City, was known as Cap Saint-Jacques under French occupation. Among Vietnamese and expatriates, it is a popular beach destination for weekend trips.

“Travelers can reach Vung Tau by speedboat, car or helicopter from Ho Chi Minh City. Vung Tau is a busy coast city with a few beaches, an attractive summer palace, a couple of interesting temples, a few other attractions and not much else, so it offers enough to do but nevertheless offers an off the beaten path and low key escape. However, luxury properties, casinos and golf courses are set to open soon, in order attract long stay, high end holidaymakers to both the Ho Tram area and Vung Tau. Twenty kilometers from the city center is Long Hai town, once a fishing village and now a small resort popular with Vietnamese people. Vung Tau is also the place to board a boat, plane or helicopter to visit famous Con Dao Island, 180 kilometers away.” said Pham Ha, CEO of Luxury Travel Ltd.

For a day trip from Ho Chi Minh City, travelers will discover the best Vung Tau has to offer.

At 07:30, travelers will be picked up from the hotel in HCMC and driven to Vung Tau, traveling by immense rubber and cashew nut plantations, as well as scenic rice fields.

On the way to Vung Tau, travelers will visit the Large House (Nha Lon) and its temples at Long Son Island. Large House is a place to celebrate festivals, with a school, a market, a Ghe Sam preserving house, and Ong Tran’s graveyard.

Arriving in Vung Tau, the capital of Ba Ria Vung Tau Province, travelers will visit the White House Palace (a summer residence of the last emperor Bao Dai), offering a wonderful view of the beach and the city.

Travelers will visit Niet Ban Tinh Xa, Nirvana Meditation Retreat and Thich Ca Phat Dai, a Buddhist shrine. They will also visit a French-built light house and the giant Jesus Christ image as optional choices.

Vacationers will have lunch at Lan Rung restaurant then have swim at the Bai Sau Beach. At 4 pm travelers will drive back to Saigon where they arrive at around 6 pm.

“Vung Tau preserves the feel of a harmonious community of religions, mountains, beaches, architecture old and news. It is now a favourite weekend beach escape destination for family vacations from Ho Chi Minh City. This short trip has all the best Vung Tau has to offer.” adds Pham Ha.

The tour price starts from US$82 per person for a private party of two people. Price includes all private pick up and drop off services, transportation from Ho Chi Minh City, meals, entrance fees and the services of an English-speaking guide. This offer is valid until 30 December 2013.

AAA Welcomes KPMG Bolstering of Alternatives Team

AAA has welcomed moves by global auditing and accountancy firm KPMG to expand its alternative investment team by adding five new members in the US.

Boston, MA, USA, August 23, 2012 -- Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) has welcomed moves by global auditing and accountancy firm KPMG to expand its alternative investment team by adding five new members in the US.

The advisory firm has taken on Ted Carreiro to join its alternative investment fund practice in Boston. Carreiro is the former managing director of State Street Bank and Trust’s AIF division and has more that 18 years experience.

KPMG is also taking on Phillip W. DeSalvo, who has worked with a large number of businesses before to help them to instigate transactions, structure and execute deals. Michael R Richards is another new addition and has over 22 years of relevant experience. He will lead the KPMG transaction services practice in the West Coast region.

The boost to the alternative investment team reflects the increase in interest in alternatives as individuals and institutional investors struggle to make significant returns when invested in savings bonds and the stock market. “The stock market is pretty inactive and interest rates are at historic lows,” asserted AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson.

KPMG said in an official statement that alternatives were becoming increasingly important to the firm. “KPMG is committed to becoming the market leader in serving the alternative investments industry and our latest additions to the team demonstrate our goal to have the broadest set of skills and in-depth knowledge of the most important regulatory and business issues facing the industry,” said Al Fichera, national partner in charge, alternative investments-audit, in a statement.

AAA supports range of alternative investments, including timberland investment through sustainable plantations such as the one run by Greenwood Management in Brazil.

AAA claims that timber prices are set to rise of the back of more activity in the Chinese, Indian and US housing markets. As a result, it could be the best time for a while for investing in timberland.

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.

On Hurricane Andrew's 20th Anniversary, FPL Recognizes the Contributions of Electric Workers

"Our electric workers are our first responders, consistently answering the call for help, whether it's working to upgrade our electrical system on a daily basis or leading the charge after a storm," said Keith Hardy, FPL's vice president of Distribution.

Juno Beach, FL (August 22, 2012) -- As the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Andrew is observed, Florida Power & Light Company is paying special tribute to the members of its team whose work is critical to providing reliable power year-round and in the wake of devastating storms - electrical workers.

Karl Greer, an FPL electric worker based in South Florida, knows the importance of having a plan and being prepared because Greer rode out Hurricane Andrew 20 years ago with his family in Homestead, the storm’s ground zero. After the storm, he worked 16-hour shifts alongside thousands of FPL employees until power was fully restored.

“We put up wires and poles for a living, but the need I saw after Hurricane Andrew was unlike anything that I had ever witnessed,” said Greer. “Andrew taught us all a vital lesson about the seriousness of storms, and the need for serious preparation.”

Greer's experience during Andrew was like many in the region. At 12:35 a.m., his power went out, and the noise of the wind and debris against the shutters grew so loud that he and his family could barely hear their own voices. When daylight arrived, he went outside to find his roof in tatters, and each of the 29 mature pine trees in his yard fallen. His uncle’s home on a neighboring property, once a two story residence, had been cut in half, with only the bottom floor remaining.

However, Greer had to put aside his personal challenges, because duty called. “The roads were all blocked, but as soon as I could I was at FPL with my crew, getting the power back on,” said Greer. “In one area, we replaced every single pole along a 6-mile stretch. It was tough, but what kept me going was the thought that my friends and family were counting on us; people all throughout the area were counting on us.”

The efforts of electric workers and other dedicated employees after Hurricane Andrew helped to improve FPL’s preparations for storms and the recovery that follows. The strategies employed to create restoration staging areas to coordinate with out-of-state service providers to assist with field operations were formed by experiences in Hurricane Andrew.

“Our electric workers are our first responders, consistently answering the call for help, whether it’s working to upgrade our electrical system on a daily basis or leading the charge after a storm,” said Keith Hardy, FPL’s vice president of Distribution. “We are showing our appreciation by celebrating throughout August, especially on Sunday Aug. 26, Lineworker Appreciation Day in Florida.”

The Gu Kailai Trail at The New York Times Featured China Happy Hour, August 28 in New York City

China Happy Hour (www.ChinaHappyHour.com) Will Bring Together Businessmen, Executives, Investors and Entrepreneurs of the Chinese and South Asian Business Communities, for an Evening of Networking and Cocktails in New York City from 6PM to 9PM, August 28.

New York City, NY, USA (August 22, 2012) -- When it comes to patriotic blockbusters, synchronized military parades and choreographed political cavalcades that fill the Great Hall of the People, the Chinese Communist Party knows how to put on a show, says The New York Times. But in publicly prosecuting Gu Kailai, the wife of the purged political leader Bo Xilai, for murdering a British business associate, it seems to have committed some fumbles.

The party's carefully scripted trial of Ms. Gu - which led to her conviction on Monday for poisoning the Briton, Neil Heywood, and a suspended death sentence - appears to have prompted anger and cynicism from almost everyone here who paid attention.

Die-hard leftists who still back Mr. Bo and his populist policies, The Times continues, detected strands of a grand political conspiracy. Legal scholars identified glaring inconsistencies in what the government had trumpeted as a model of judicial exactitude. And liberals, noting that Ms. Gu's crime would have remained secret had not a player in the scandal divulged incriminating details to American diplomats, found further evidence that their leaders believe they can literally get away with murder.

This month, Golden Networking’s China Happy Hour (http://www.ChinaHappyHour.com) will invite a number of journalists who have followed the trial, conviction and suspended death sentence of Gu Kailai, the wife of purged Chinese leader Bo Xilai, in close detail, for the panel “The Gu Kailai Trail” moderated by its founder Edgar Perez. There will be time afterwards for Q&A and the best China networking in New York City.

China Happy Hour will be held Tuesday August 28th, 6PM; these receptions have been known to attract executives and professionals not only from China but also from South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, and India, among other nationalities.

China Happy Hour New York City, featured in The New York Times, 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.

The Bounty of Cosmetic Treatments: The IAPAM's Symposium with Botox ® Training

In 2012, attendees at the IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums have the competitive advantage of learning from board-certified dermatologists and experts in the fields of botox ® training, lasers & IPLs, dermal fillers, hCG for weight loss, medical grade chemical peels and medical micordermabrasion. The IAPAM leads its competitors in offering the most complete business and clinical botox ® training in North America.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA - August 21, 2012 -- A recent article by Annette M. Boyle for Medical Economics outlined the benefits of adding cash-based, non-surgical aesthetic medical treatments to an existing practice. The bottom line, as stated by Jeff Russell, Executive Director The International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine's (IAPAM) is that, "about 5 million nonsurgical cosmetic procedures were performed by aestheticians last year, frequently in a spa setting. Many primary care physicians (PCPs) have decided to meet demand for these services by actively controlling the "med" part of these "medspas". This is evidenced by the fact that internists, family physicians, and obstetrician/gynecologists dominate the IAPAM's training classes."

The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with botox ® training is different than any other physician training program offered in North America, because it offers comprehensive aesthetic medicine education and long term support for physicians of all medical specialties. The IAPAM is where the world's physicians come together to learn and share their experiences in aesthetic medicine.

So many times, physicians attend a weekend botox ® training course in the hopes of learning everything there is to know about opening a medical spa or aesthetic practice. Unfortunately, the reality of the market place is that most of these seminars are often run by laser manufacturers or consulting firms, both of whom are ultimately guiding one to purchase their products and services. Unlike programs offered by a private company, the Aesthetic Medicine Symposium is certified by the IAPAM, a voluntary professional association of physicians and supporters, which sets standards for the aesthetic medical profession.

Attendees at the IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposium receive everything they need to start offering minimally invasive modalities to their patients right away. The Symposium provides physicians with:

- dedicated instruction from board-certified dermatologists, who are true experts of the skin and cosmetic injectables.
- hands-on practice in the best injection techniques.
- delivery of the botox ® training at a medical practice, not in a hotel room.
- a set of the IAPAM's comprehensive training DVDs, which cover:

1. Botulinum Toxin for Cosmetic Patients - lecture.
2. Botulinum Toxin and Dermal Fillers for Cosmetic Patients - live demonstration.
3. Chemical Peel and Microdermabrasion - live demonstration of techniques.

- an environment that does not allow exhibitors, giving physicians more time for education.
- the opportunity to attend the Symposium's Aesthetic Practice Start-up Workshop, which is the only medical spa program highlighting the latest information on medspa business development and social media marketing.
- the unique opportunity to attend the full-day session on hCG and Medical Weight Management. This session will cover hCG for weight loss, the original Dr. Simeons hCG Protocol, prescription appetite suppressants, ketogenic diet based programs, meal replacement and B6/12 injections.

To register for the upcoming Aesthetic Medicine Symposium on September 22-23, 2012, please contact the IAPAM at 1-800-219-5108 ext. 704 or visit http://iapam.com/aesthetic-medicine-symposium-botox-training

Botox is a trademark of Allergan, Inc.

About the IAPAM: The International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine

The International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine is a voluntary association of physicians and supporters, which sets standards for the aesthetic medical profession. The goal of the association is to offer education, ethical standards, credentialing, and member benefits. IAPAM membership is open to all licensed medical doctors (MDs), dentists (DDSs/DMDs) doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs), physicians assistants (PAs) and nurse practitioners (NPs). The IAPAM offers aesthetic medicine and hCG medical weight management programs, including: Botox ® training, medical aesthetic training, laser training, physician hCG training, and aesthetic practice business training.

Additional details about the report are available at: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/bipv_wall_markets_2012

More about the report:

This report forecasts the new revenues that will be generated from wall-attached PV, roofing BIPV products used on walls, dedicated BIPV siding products and BIPV curtain walls. It also examines the commercial potential of more futuristic products such as solar paints and panels that combine PV and lighting.

NanoMarkets believes that the BIPV walling market is being generated by the growth in the number of buildings where energy requirements cannot be met by rooftop solar panels alone. This is often the case with multistory buildings that have relatively small roof spaces that are clogged up with HVAC and water system equipment. In addition, zero-energy buildings have energy generation needs that rooftop panels are not sufficient to meet.

This report explains where the initial revenues for BIPV walling will be generated and how the supply chains will evolve to meet the needs of this new sector. In addition, the report discusses which types of PV technology are best suited for walling products and how the panel makers can best take advantage of the BIPV walling market. The report also includes granular eight-year forecasts of the BIPV wall market with breakouts by volume (MW) and value ($ millions), as well analysis of the strategies of major firms active in this market.

NanoMarkets Announces Upcoming Report on Optically Functional Films Coming in September of 2012

NanoMarkets today announced that it will publish a new report in September of this year titled, "New Opportunities for Optical Films in the Display Industry."

Glen Allen, Virginia - August 17, 2012 -- Industry Analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced that it will publish a new report in September of this year titled, "New Opportunities for Optical Films in the Display Industry." This new report from NanoMarkets focuses on how opportunities for optically functional films will emerge within the changing display sector. The report shows how value is being created in the optical films market by enhancing the performance of displays, and how manufacturers of these products may be able to capitalize of the trend toward increasing adoption of OLEDs and e-paper displays in mainstream displays.

The report also provides an analysis of the optical coatings/films strategies of the firms that NanoMarkets expects to see as major players in the display sector. The analysis includes the major optical films firms like 3M, as well as smaller, specialty firms; we also assess the importance of nanomaterials for next generation optical films. As with all NanoMarkets reports, included are an eight-year market forecasts with breakouts by type of optical film and by market segment. Optical film designs covered are antiglare/antireflection films, polarizers, privacy films, diffuser films, reflectors, prismatic films, and multi-functional films.


More About the Report:

Today, the LCD market heavily dominates the optical coatings needs of the display industry. LCDs and their backlight units use diffuser films, polarizers and mirrored polarizers, contrast enhancement and prismatic films, as well as antireflection, antiglare, and privacy films. But LCD manufacturers are struggling to maintain profitability, and most are now looking for the “next big thing” in displays. There is thus a shift occurring in the display industry that will change the opportunities for optically functional films. This shift involves the increasing adoption of OLEDs for mobile computing applications, and perhaps even OLED TVs in the near-term; e-paper has also grown in importance over the last few years, as has the incorporation of touch technology to many displays.

At first glance, these changes could create a problem for optically functional display films that have long relied on a well-established LCD sector for sales. Both OLEDs and e-paper displays are backlight-free, and they thus require fewer optical film products than conventional LCDs. However, their emergence may also create opportunities for new kinds of optical films, and may create openings for new firms to establish a market presence and gain market share versus the competition. Similarly, touch panels are using new kinds of customized optically functional films.
