Mattituck, NY (June 21, 2013) -- Amid an array of singing hayrides, pig races, farm animals, antique tractors, beekeeping exhibits and bushels of what has been called by Newsday, the 'best corn on Long Island', author members of Long Island Authors and Writers Society will be at Harbes Family Farm in Mattituck on Saturday, July 13 from 11 AM until 3 PM during Harbes Farms Sweet Corn Festival.

Included in the lineup of LIAWS authors are: ten-time award winning children's author and children's motivational speaker, Yvonne Capitelli, children's book author Dr. Loraine Alderman, an advocate for children with learning disabilities who recently received Book of the Year Award, on-air radio personality and children's book author, Lisa A. Dabrowski, elementary educator Valerie Pfundstein the author of Veterans, Heroes In Our Neighborhood, and author Tom Gahan, whose novel Harmony Bay was influenced by places and events on eastern Long Island during the American Revolution and became required reading at several Long Island high schools.

The author's works represent several subjects including character-building, farm life, history, science, and community relations. "We feel this is a good matchup of writing talents and titles with this venue. We look forward to meeting writers and aspiring authors from around Long Island," says Tom Gahan, president of the not-for-profit LIAWS that mentors and develops writers at all levels.

"I too am delighted to be part of the annual Sweet Corn festival this year," added Dabrowski. "As a North Fork native, I am very proud of my own family's agricultural heritage and feel that it is important we continue our farming traditions on the East End. Harbes Farm is playing a vital role in doing that."

Denny Reed is in Art Gallery's Artist Showcase

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is very pleased to announce that professional artist Denny Reed is the gallery's Featured Artist.

Jupiter, FL, USA (June 15, 2013) -- Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is very pleased to announce that professional artist Denny Reed is the gallery's Featured Artist. She will now be featured in the Artist Showcase for the next 30 days.

Denny Reed is an emerging female artist who is located both in South Florida and New York. Prior to Denny becoming an artist she had more than 25 years' experience owning an international seminar business that taught emotional intelligence and self-development courses. From this experience she believes that she received the gift of a deep compassion for our humanness which is very evident in her works.

Denny's focus in her art is the emotional and spiritual connection to life through the eyes of a Shaman. Denny states this about the Shaman influence in her art, "This focus touches all of my artwork as I believe the natural world helps interpret the feminine and masculine energy in a balanced way. Achieving this balance is an important key to having less stress and a better quality of life and as a seminar teacher my extensive experience showed me much evidence of this necessity with my clients as balance raises self-esteem.

As a self-taught artist she began painting to express what she was feeling. What emerged was a deeper inner truth that she was delighted to discover and with this, her life path changed direction. Collectors of her art feel the same strong resonance of the energies that she accesses and want to feel it as a daily reminder within their homes.

Denny says this about her art, "I am committed to expressing my inner world that I find in Shamanic personal development work. This emotional and spiritual journey is important to me. I feel closeness to the energies that I access. My artwork satisfies and fulfills my hunger for a deeper conscious state of being. It is raw, alive, bold, mysterious and sometimes dark. It speaks to me and it speaks for me. I hear my soul." Denny's website is http://www.dennyreed.com.

URALCHEM confirmed its commitment to the UK market

URALCHEM has successfully exhibited at its fourth Cereals event in Lincoln, UK. The company's new water soluble products were well received by the participants and visitors of the trade show.

Lincoln, UK (June 14, 2013) -- URALCHEM has successfully exhibited at its fourth Cereals event in Lincoln, UK. The company's new water soluble products were well received by the participants and visitors of the trade show.

Although at the moment the demand for soluble fertilizers in the UK is not particularly large, it is well established, and URALCHEM wants its UK customers to know that it is now supplying these products. Soluble fertilizers are primarily used in greenhouse farming; some interest is also coming from liquid fertilizer producers who want to manufacture speciality and added-value products.

The United Kingdom and Ireland remain strategic markets for URALCHEM's nitrogen based fertilizers. Due to the weather conditions here, the UK market demand has been volatile, when even normally regular seasonal purchases shifted by a couple of months. However, the company's position is to remain a reliable supplier to its customers and to keep and grow long-established partnership with them.

Graham Dunn, URALCHEM's Agent in the United Kingdom and Ireland, said, "We have seen a lot of interest to our products, including the NS 30:7 that we first introduced to the UK market a year ago. URALCHEM is one of the first Russian producers to declare that fertilizer should not be seen as a commodity. The company employs highly qualified agronomists and chemists to develop the precisely formulated fertilizers that farmers need. Today we have a large portfolio of speciality products which we want our customers to get to know and use."

"It is important for UK to recognize that it is part of an inter-connected global market. Today businesses have to compare markets globally: for example, the UK fertilizer market is 5 million tonnes and the one in Brazil 30 million tonnes. Manufacturers will send their products to those who are prepared to pay higher prices. It is already happening, and traditional products destined for the European market, such as calcium ammonium nitrate, are being diverted to Brazil. So, monitoring and responding to global trends will provide British farmers with a better guarantee that their business will survive and prosper."

Algorithmic Trading, App Development, Financial Markets: Edgar Perez's The Speed Traders Has it All

Edgar Perez, Author, The Speed Traders: An Insider's Look at the New High-Frequency Trading Phenomenon That is Transforming the Investing World, Published by in English by McGraw-Hill Inc. (2011), Mandarin by China Financial Publishing House (2012), and Bahasa Indonesia by Kompas Gramedia (2012) and Course Director, The Speed Traders Workshop 2012 (Hong Kong, Sao Paulo, Seoul, Kuala Lumpur, Warsaw, Kiev, Beijing and Shanghai).

New York City, NY, USA (June 13, 2013) -- Reviews at Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/dp/0071768289) predominantly offer top ratings for The Speed Traders (http://www.TheSpeedTraders.com) by Edgar Perez, a global speaker on high-frequency trading; "The Speed Traders is a clear and informative read that can be useful to both seasoned industry professionals and those who are only exploring the financial industry."

"One of the least explained areas of finance is high frequency trading and Edgar Perez's book, The Speed Traders, gives an extensive overview of this topic. The insightful descriptions of the daily activities of the market and their role in the lives of securities dealers allow it to reveal the methods that traders use. The book utilizes interviews with recognized industry professionals and a timeline of the evolution of speed trading to provide the reader with a great idea on what speed trading is and how to use it. Some of the major focusing points of the book are the modern applications of speed trading. These applications are not only explained through examples and interviews but also in a clear way that excludes confusing industry jargon and paints a clear picture of the topic at hand."

"The Speed Traders, written by Edgar Perez, offers cutting-edge intelligence on the relatively concealed industry of High-Frequency-Trading. The substantial foundation of HFT is laid out and combined with thorough interviews to make sense of the complicated technicalities in HFT. Perez gives the whole picture by critically defining HFT, charting its inconspicuous emanation into the securities market, breaking down the flash crash of 2010, forecasting the indisputable role that HFT will play in the financial world, and perhaps most importantly, walking the reader through 6 different evaluations with actual high frequency traders. The interviews were the most valuable asset in making this industry understandable. The first person narrative is key because it's easy to comprehend and relatively scarce in current literature for many reasons, two of which are that traders are reluctant to disclose strategies on generating alpha and the barriers of entry to the HFT industry are so high that there is only a limited amount of traders that actually know what they are talking about."

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 and Portuguese.

The Speed Traders, published by McGraw-Hill Inc., is the most comprehensive, revealing work available on the most important development in trading in generations.

NanoMarkets Issues New Report on Opportunities for Smart Windows

NanoMarkets today announced the release of its new report, "Worldwide Smart Windows Markets 2013-2020."

Glen Allen, Virginia - June 13, 2013 -- Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced the release of its new report, "Worldwide Smart Windows Markets 2013-2020." This report analyzes and forecasts opportunities for smart (self-dimming) windows in residential buildings, commercial real estate, automobiles and trucks, aircraft and public transportation. It also includes more than 70 exhibits providing detailed market projections - in both value and volume (square meters) terms -- with breakouts by technology and applications. Technology coverage includes: passive retrofit films, thermochromics, and photochromics, along with PDLC, SPD and electrochromics. Both film and glass products are included.

Firms mention in the report include: 3M, Asahi Glass, Audi, BMW, Boeing, Cardinal, Chromogenics, Corning, DuPont, DuPont Teijin, Garware, Guardian, Gentex, GKN, GlasNovations, Glassonice, Innovative Glass, InvisiShade, LTI, Mercedes, Mitsubishi, NSG/Pilkington, Pleotint, Polytronix, PPG, Pro Display, RavenBrick, Research Frontiers, Sage, Saint-Gobain, Samsung, Scienstry, Sekisui, SKC, SmartGlass, Solutia/Eastman Chemical, Schott, SPD Control Systems, SwitchLite, Switch Materials, Toray, US e-Chromics, Velux, View, Vision Systems, Volkswagen, Xinology and Zeledyne.

NanoMarkets estimates that the market for smart windows is about $2.3 billion today, growing to $4.7 billion by 2018 and $5.3 billion by 2020.

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

The firm has announced that it will be co-hosting a webinar on Smart Windows with the FlexTech Alliance on Wednesday, June 26th of this month. Persons interested in registering to attend may do so at https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/519180638

From the Report:

- NanoMarkets' research indicates that smart windows still have to overcome a perception problem. Many Architects and construction firms still tend to view smart windows as expensive and low performing. Another trap for smart windows companies is misreading the recovery in the real estate markets around the world. This may turn out to be temporary. If so smart windows firms may overinvest and see a rapid decline in profitability if real estate markets go into a slump again.

- NanoMarkets believes that the fastest growing market for smart windows over the period being considered will be for active smart window glass. This is already a substantial market - just over $1 billion - and is expected to reach $2.7 billion by 2018. Active glass windows combines the transparency of glass with full control of both light and heat and can be used both for buildings and vehicles.

- While the US will continue to be the largest market for smart windows, China is where the greatest growth opportunities in the smart windows sector will be found. Currently the market for smart windows in China is around $285 million, growing to $740 million in 2018. Many of the new commercial buildings in China are LEED-certified, making them very suitable for smart windows use. Also, these buildings are designed by large Western architectural firms with a strong familiarity with smart windows. In addition, the Chinese market for luxury cars - the kind of car most likely to use smart windows -- is growing fast and will soon overtake the U.S. market. We expect that by 2020, China will account for 23.8 percent of the smart windows market in cars and light automobile vehicles followed by the US at 21.8 percent. It also seems likely that as smart windows technology is transferred to China, new Chinese smart windows firms will begin to emerge.

About NanoMarkets:

The firm is a recognized leader in industry analysis and forecasts of this kind and has been covering the smart glass space for more than five years.
