Actual Multiple Monitors 8.0 Introduces Three Cool Features

A well-known award-winning tool for managing windows on multi-monitor systems has updated to version 8.0. The new release features more convenient and precise placement of windows, moving of open windows between monitors, Mac OS X-style task switching and other functions for better comfort in everyday work.

Vancouver, BC, Canada (August 16, 2013) -- Multi-monitor systems are super-efficient in certain applications including design, programming, video and graphics editing. Providing much more screen space they give flexibility, but the cost of this convenience is harder windows manipulation. Moving windows between monitors, arranging, placing and resizing of them isn't always intuitive on a computer with multiple monitors and requires more accurate mouse moves.

Actual Multiple Monitors 8.0, a new major release of the highly ranked window management tool, offers an impressive range of tools promoting much easier window arrangement on multi-monitor systems. Aside from convenient resizing, positioning and minimizing of windows, the program offers task switching capabilities, desktop management tools, and places additional buttons in the title of windows, including MDI ones.

Enhanced Monitor Selector, a feature introduced earlier, has been improved to provide precise positioning of a window moved to another monitor - in the center of the screen, in a corner, or attached to the center of one of screen edges. Literally two clicks and a window takes the desired place on the monitor (more information: http://www.actualtools.com/windowmanager/help/features/movetomonitor.php#selector).

Version 8.0 includes two brand new features as well. The first one is Save Idle Screens - a function that runs a screensaver on inactive monitors. Notably, such screensaver launches and stops with a hot key and doesn't stop on mouse or keyboard action as usual (more information: http://www.actualtools.com/windowmanager/help/features/save_idle_screens.php). The second new option emulates Mac OS X Exposé Task Switcher. Upon a hot key, a handy visual thumbnail grid is displayed giving nice and easy way to switch to the given task comparing with the default layout (more information: http://www.actualtools.com/windowmanager/help/features/expose_task_switcher.php).

Actual Multiple Monitors 8 is a blend of functionality highly demanded on multi-monitor systems and friendliness that is really easy to get used to.

Pricing and availability
Actual Multiple Monitors runs on all Windows platforms from Windows 2000 onwards and costs 24.95 USD for a single-user license. Discounts for volume buyers are available (please refer to http://www.actualtools.com/multiplemonitors/order/#volume_discounts). Additional information on Actual Multiple Monitors, a collection of tutorial articles and success stories, and a 30-day evaluation copy are available on the Actual Tools website.

Art Gallery Announces Cheryl Rau as New Featured Artist

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is very pleased to announce that fine art photographer Cheryl Rau is the gallery's newest featured artist.

Jupiter, FL, USA (August 15, 2013) -- Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is very pleased to announce that fine art photographer Cheryl Rau is the gallery's newest featured artist. Cheryl Rau is a mid-life emerging artist who lives on the Southern Coast of Maine. Since 2010, her work as a documentary/fine art photographer has been selected for numerous regional, national, and international exhibitions. Key elements of her style are vibrant colors and movement, as much of her work explores the ideas of impermanence and transformation.

Cheryl found her passion for photography in her 40s when she purchased her first SLR camera. She explored a wide range of subjects and genres including landscapes, architecture, portraits of people with their pets, and documentary photo essays. During this developmental stage, she also began shooting a series of abstract images of reflections on water for fun, as she roamed around the working waterfront in Portland, Maine with her camera.

As a self-taught artist, she continues to create new images for the "Water Colors" series and has developed several new bodies of work during the past three years. Earlier this year while recovering from cornea transplant surgery on her right eye (the one that sees through the camera viewfinder) and unable to see well enough to shoot for several months, she began experimenting with digital collage as a way to create new art by combining multiple images shot in past years.

Cheryl has held professional positions in marketing and communications, event management, and training. She is a graduate of the photography program at the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies (Portland, ME). She earned a bachelor of arts in Journalism & Communications from Point Park College (Pittsburgh, PA). Originally from Pennsylvania, Cheryl lived in the Washington, DC area for 15 years prior to relocating to the Maine coast. Cheryl's website is http://www.cherylrauphotography.com.

About Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery

Secrets of the Knight Revealed at Book Launch Party in New York City for Knightmare on Wall Street

Edgar Perez, Author, The Speed Traders, and Course Director, The Speed Traders Workshop, Proudly Introduces Knightmare on Wall Street, The Rise and Fall of Knight Capital and the Biggest Risk for Financial Markets, a Behind-the-scenes Look at Knight Capital's 17 years of Tumultuous Existence as an Independent Company.

New York City, NY, USA (August 13, 2013) -- A book launch party is planned in New York City for Knightmare on Wall Street, The Rise and Fall of Knight Capital and the Biggest Risk for Financial Markets. Now exclusively available at http://www.KnightmareonWallStreet.com, Knightmare on Wall Street provides a fascinating account of what it took to elevate Knight Capital to the cusp of the retail investing revolution of the late 1990s, to struggle through booms and busts, and to bring the firm down, to end up ultimately being ignominiously bought up by a competitor.

Edgar Perez, the celebrated author of The Speed Traders (http://www.TheSpeedTraders.com) and global speaker on the topics of high-frequency trading (HFT) and investing, brings again a masterpiece for the trading and investing class with this thrilling minute-by-minute account of the terrifying hours following its August 1, 2012 trading debacle, with news-breaking research regarding Knight Capital’s 17 years of tumultuous existence as an independent company.

The firm, founded by Kenneth Pasternak and Walter Raquet in 1995, had seen its fortunes change as U.S. regulators made a series of changes in the structure of financial markets and computers were progressively expanding their share of trading. The Flash Crash, the infamous 1,000 point drop of the DJIA on May 6, 2010 (the largest one-day point decline in history), illustrated how market structure problems could almost instantaneously cascade from one market participant to the rest.

Thomas Joyce, CEO of Knight Capital since 2002 and an unapologetic advocate of electronic trading, had been scornful of those companies that struggled to keep up with ever-changing stock markets. So it was certainly shocking that at 9:30 A.M. on August 1, 2012, right after the markets opened for the day, Knight Capital began issuing an unprecedented number of erroneous orders into the market, due to an error in installing new software. No rogue trader or regulatory change; operational risk was passing the bill to Knight Capital and becoming the biggest risk in the financial markets.

Knight Capital announced later a staggering loss of $440 million. What followed after this shocking announcement were several rounds of desperate conversations with a number of vulture players who had smelled opportunity and were readying themselves to pick up bargain-priced pieces. On August 6, 2012, Joyce confirmed that Knight Capital had struck a deal with Jefferies, TD Ameritrade, Blackstone, GETCO, Stephens, and Stifel Financial, staving off collapse days after the trading mishap.

While Knight Capital was back in the game, its limping recovery quickly prompted hungry competitors to bid for the entire company. On December 19, 2012, the board decided to accept an acquisition proposal from GETCO rather than Virtu Financial. For GETCO, acquiring Knight Capital represented a gigantic fast forward step. For Knight Capital, it was the end of its wild ride as an independent entity.

Perez (http://www.MrEdgarPerez.com) 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), published in Mandarin by China Financial Publishing House (2012), and Investasi Super Kilat: Pandangan Orang dalam tentang Fenomena Baru Frekuensi Tinggi yang Mentransformasi Dunia Investasi, published in Bahasa Indonesia by Kompas Gramedia (2012). Perez is course director of The Speed Traders Workshop, How High Frequency Traders Leverage Profitable Strategies to Find Alpha in Equities, Options, Futures and FX (Hong Kong, Sao Paulo, Seoul, Kuala Lumpur, Warsaw, Kiev, New York, Singapore, Beijing, Shanghai). He contributes to The New York Times and China's International Finance News and Sina Finance.

Loss of $104M in Q2 for KCG Holdings, Knight Capital and GETCO, Star of Knightmare on Wall Street

Edgar Perez, Author, The Speed Traders, and Course Director, The Speed Traders Workshop 2012, Proudly Introduces Knightmare on Wall Street, The Rise and Fall of Knight Capital and the Biggest Risk for Financial Markets, a Behind-the-scenes Look at Knight Capital's 17 years of Tumultuous Existence as an Independent Company.

New York City, NY, USA (August 13, 2013) -- Bloomberg reported that Getco and Knight Capital lost money last quarter as the trading firms were completing a merger prompted by Knight's brush with bankruptcy a year ago. KCG Holdings, as the firm formed by the July 1 union is known, said in a statement that Getco's second-quarter net loss totaled $72.9 million and Knight's loss was $30.8 million. Getco's sales fell 16 percent from a year earlier to $118 million, while Knight's revenue rose 25 percent to $315 million.

Excluding $61 million in expenses related to the merger along with writedowns, restructuring charges and finance commitment fees, Getco's pretax loss was $8.9 million. Getco's market-making unit produced a loss of $2 million on $118 million in revenue, compared with profit of $9.7 million and sales of $136 million a year earlier. The execution-services business, which provides trading services to clients, improved revenue from a year earlier while posting a bigger loss. Sales rose 41 percent to $13 million, and the loss widened to $2.9 million from $1.5 million. Knight's market-making profit amounted to $50 million in the second quarter, an increase from $5.9 million a year earlier.

Edgar Perez, the celebrated author of The Speed Traders, just released Knightmare on Wall Street, The Rise and Fall of Knight Capital and the Biggest Risk for Financial Markets, exclusively available at http://www.KnightmareonWallStreet.com, book that provides a thrilling minute-by-minute account of the terrifying hours following their August 1, 2012 trading debacle, with news-breaking research regarding Knight Capital's 17 years of tumultuous existence as an independent company.

"The book goes into great detail when it analyses the backstories of the main characters involved in the company starting with founders Ken Pasternak and Walter Raquet, CEO Tom Joyce (known as T.J. since his Harvard days) and vulture bidders Daniel Coleman from GETCO and Vincent Viola from Virtu. While other books lose many people early, Perez whets readers' appetites early by hitting the ground running in chapter one focusing on the chaos that ensued Knight's infamous trades at the opening."

"Perez does a tremendous job in making the histories of all of the people and companies involved as easy to digest as possible; peg orders are arguably not an easy concept to explain. Again - excellent book, but readers have to invest some time slogging through the first 25% of the book to get back to the action. As soon as Joyce comes back to the office after surgery and realizes the extent of the challenges ahead, all hell breaks loose and things start to get very exciting again."

Perez is widely regarded as the preeminent global expert in the specialized area of high-frequency trading.

New York City, NY, USA (August 13, 2013) -- "What a book! Who knew that a trading error at a Jersey City firm could end up being so interesting? One year ago, the mother of all electronic trading debacles scared Wall Street, when sophisticated trading outfit Knight Capital erroneously launched thousands of orders that led it to accumulate an impossible $7 billion position." That's how ModernFinanceReport.com kicks off its review of Edgar Perez's book, with the headline "Trading firms would do well to heed lessons in testing and crisis management."

New Financial Shop Solutions Research Reveals that Banks Use "Less than Complete" Account Guides for Online Marketing

Increase in Simplified Checking Account Guides for Web-based Selling Placing Greater Burden on Consumers to Uncover Hidden Fees and Penalties.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (August 13, 2013) -- Almost every financial institution offers simple account guides to provide an overview of checking services and fees, whether these are online account descriptions or PDF files that potential customers can download. However, according to new research by Financial Shop Solutions, the premier service for competitive intelligence research for the financial services industry, many of these simple account guides can be misleading primarily because of the information they fail to disclose, putting more burden on consumers to look for hidden fees and penalties. That is, assuming the customer is financially educated or aware enough to know what information they should have before opening a new bank account.

As part of its competitive product research, Financial Shop Solutions has begun researching these simple account guides to give financial institutions a complete picture of the competitive landscape for checking accounts. The latest research reveals that these abbreviated or simple account guides are part of a growing trend among larger banks to drive consumers toward self-service sales via the web. The same research reveals that these same institutions are putting more emphasis on online and telephone customer support and less emphasis on in-person financial consulting services in the branches. In fact, many of the branch representatives interviewed were unclear or unfamiliar with the fees and terms for checking accounts their institutions offered online.

"We are seeing a growing trend where banks are looking to cut overhead by bringing in new business through their web sites," said Mary Morgan, founder and President of Financial Shop Solutions. "The result is that account disclosures are being used as sales collateral designed to attract new business rather than inform customers. Consumers are not getting the full story about deposit products from these so-called account guides, and banks are not arming their branch representatives with sufficient information to be of help."

Financial Shop Solutions' competitive research reports are designed to give financial institutions a consumer's perspective on the banking experience. Based on the latest findings, some experts believe that the erosion of personalized service coupled with less-than-complete information about account fees and penalties will fuel consumer dissatisfaction and drive customers to institutions that offer better, more personalized service. The online self-service model also limits the banks' ability to advise consumers about their finances, and cross-sell and upsell customers through face-to-face interaction.

Those banks that do a better job of fee disclosure offer specific details in their simple account guides, including:
- Monthly account fees and how to waive them;
- ATM usage fees;
- Miscellaneous service fees;
- Overdraft policy;
- The order in which daily transactions are posted;
- Terms for funds availability; and
- Where to get more information about checking account rules and regulations.

According to Financial Shop Solutions' Project Coordinator, Larisa Klein, financial institutions are finding it more difficult to get accurate insights about competitors on their own using only these account guides, making it more difficult to better serve their customers. That's why Financial Shop Solutions has expanded its consumer fee and deposit reports to provide all relevant product information, as well detailing non-fee-related mystery shopping findings in order to deliver a more complete portrait of the consumer's buying experience.

About Financial Shop Solutions
Financial Shop Solutions provides competitive market research company to the financial services industry.

IAPAM Publishes 2013 Fall Dates for it Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums with Botox Training

With the impending reductions in insurance reimbursements in the US, it is more important than ever to educate physicians on the benefits of adding concierge medicine modalities to their practice. Physician need to offer cash-based procedures coupled with a weight loss program to achieve financial success. The IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums were specifically designed as a "one-stop" program to add the top 5 non-insurance based medical treatments to a practice, or to start a new medspa. Today, the IAPAM announces the fall 2013 dates for its respected Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (August 12, 2013) -- The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reported that "surgical procedures grew only by 1% in 2012, but non-surgical treatments, such as botox, dermal fillers and chemical peels grew by 6%." Therefore, physicians considering the launch of a medspa are making a wise business decision. The International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine's (IAPAM) Aesthetic Medicine Symposium is designed by physicians for physicians to assist in adding aesthetic medicine modalities, including botox, to an existing practice, or launching a medical spa. This 2 day educational event showcases the most important clinical and business aesthetic medicine training. Physicians who complete the IAPAM's Symposium have a competitive advantage.

Over 950 physicians, as well as their medspa managers, registered nurses, and assistants, have attended the IAPAM's hands-on Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums and hCG Training seminars. The fall dates have been announced for the Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums in beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona:

September 14-15, 2013
October 26-27, 2013
December 7-8, 2013

A preview of the Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox training can be viewed on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Of-jMxVNLOY.

The Symposium provides physicians:

- dedicated instruction from board-certified dermatologists, who are true experts of the skin and cosmetic injectables.
- hands-on practice in the best injection techniques.
- botox training at a multi-million dollar medical practice, not in a hotel room.
- an environment that does not allow exhibitors, giving doctors more time for education.
- the opportunity to attend the Symposium's Aesthetic Practice Startup Business Workshop on the Monday after each Symposium, a program highlighting the latest information on medspa business development and social media marketing as taught by Harvard Business School.
- the opportunity to attend the IAPAM's Clean Start hCG for Weight Loss Program on the Friday before each Symposium, which covers hCG for weight loss, prescription appetite suppressants, ketogenic diet based programs, meal replacements and B6/12 injections.

Dates for the upcoming Clean Start hCG for Weight Loss Training, in Scottsdale, Arizona, have also been announced:

September 13, 2013
October 25, 2013
December 6, 2013

For additional information and to register for an upcoming Aesthetic Medicine Symposium and/or hCG Medical Weight Management Training, please contact the IAPAM, at 1-800-219-5108 ext. 704, or visit http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com or http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/physician-hcg-weight-loss-training.
