This category covers all manufacturing of aircraft, spacecraft, and associated products.

BusinessVibes uses a social networking model for business partnerships, so that members can browse curated business directories and join to create their own profiles and form connections with clients, suppliers, distributors, joint venture partners, and more.

This new directory:

- covers 103 leading companies, 10 associations and 88 events
- hand-selected and verified by the BusinessVibes research team
- covers 24 countries and 29 product subcategories

The new update automates EPUB export from InDesign CS4 and later.

Toronto (ON), Canada - June 21, 2011 -- Zevrix Solutions today announces BatchOutput 3.12, a feature update to its popular professional solution to automate printing, exporting and post-processing from Adobe InDesign.

Greenwood Management welcomes reports of investors being drawn to alternative assets

Greenwood Management ApS has welcomed reports that fund managers are increasingly keen to invest in alternative assets, including forestry, which is facing a period of particularly healthy growth.

Copenhagen, Denmark, June 21, 2011 -- Greenwood Management ApS has welcomed reports that fund managers are increasingly keen to invest in alternative assets, including forestry, which is facing a period of particularly healthy growth.

The forestry investment firm offers the chance to invest in existing plantations in emerging economies such as Brazil and Costa Rica. They are also managing sustainable plantations in Canada and are pleased to back claims that wood will be traded as a commodity, like other popular alternative assets, within a few years.

Chief Executive of Pöyry Management Consulting, Heikki Malinen, claimed back in May that the demand for timber from emerging economies like China and India will see the market for wood climb to a record high. He added that this will lead to higher prices, as demand in the EU alone is predicted to rise way above supplies by 2020. Pöyry Management Consulting's President, Cormac O'Carroll, told delegates at the forestry investment industry seminar in London, "The scarcity of supply is making wood a valuable resource and we're already starting to see it being traded like more established commodities."

A spokesperson for Greenwood Management said, "As inflation continues to rise, so does the value of commodities, such as timber, gold, oil and real estate. We believe that the increase in interest in alternative assets such as these will continue as investors seek a longer-term option for their cash with values rising as a result."

Greenwood explained that recent reports of the growing demand for biofuels in the East are also great news for forestry investors as the market for timber-based biomass is growing as a result. And it's not just these emerging economies that will demand greater use of biofuels. UK energy bills, for example, are expected to double within a few years, claimed Unicredit, a bank that undertook analysis of the market. Its findings stated "According to our analysis, a typical UK energy bill could rise from the current level of £1,000 per year to over £2,000 per year by 2015. As investment occurs, bills could double every five years until 2020, in our view."

Greenwood Management added, "These major increases in commodity costs, teamed with the lesser need for liquidity in investments, are driving fund managers towards alternative assets, of which forestry is a major growth area."

IAPAM's hCG Training Gives Physicians Best Practices


The IAPAM offers physicians the industry’s best practices and resources for adding hCG for weight loss to a practice. Attendees receive all the tools they need to help them launch their hCG program, and with their IAPAM Membership, they also receive a year of practice support including access to the IAPAM Members' Portal, containing hCG resources like the "hCG Ask an Expert" Q & A Forum.

Las Vegas, NV, June 21, 2011 -- Physicians must be expertly trained in the administration of an hCG Protocol to ensure successful and safe weight loss for their patients. The basis of the IAPAM's Physician hCG Training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/physician-hcg-weight-loss-training), and echoed during the Dr. Oz Show of February 2011, are:

1. Physician Supervision is Key.
2. Never buy hCG over the internet. Only use pharmaceutical grade hCG as prescribed by a physician. hCG that is not prescribed by a physician is homeopathic hCG and has been found to only contain trace amounts of real hCG.
3. Successful weight loss using hCG requires that the patient follow a proven hCG protocol precisely.

IAPAM's Core hCG Protocol Principles

Consistent with these core tenets, physicians and their staff will learn the exclusive IAPAM hCG for Weight Loss Protocol, based on Dr. Simeons manuscript, Pounds and Inches. Physicians, who attend the IAPAM’s hCG for weight loss program will learn hCG best practices from the IAPAM's faculty (physicians, pharmacists, laser assisted lipolysis specialists and business experts), all of whom have years of experience utilizing hCG for weight loss, and many of whom operate hCG weight loss clinics.

The IAPAM's hCG Training includes:

- Detailed IAPAM hCG Program Protocols
- Patient selection criteria
- Common medical hCG contraindications
- Consent forms, medical history forms
- Comprehensive Patient hCG Program Guidebook to offer patients (hCG friendly recipes, food journal, tips)
- New Patient PowerPoint presentations for the waiting room
- Phone scripts & call logs for your staff
- Legal/Insurance considerations, and current FDA status
- hCG ordering information and special pricing
- Special hCG Facebook discussion forum
- VLCD/LCD diet programs
- Meal replacement diet programs
- Ketogenic based diet programs
- Utilizing B6/B12 injections in weight loss
- Using prescription appetite suppressants in weight loss
- Metabolism testing as a profit center
- Laser assisted lipolysis
- Listing of your hCG Clinic in the IAPAM's NEW hCG Diet Clinic Directory (http://www.iapam.com/aesthetic-resources/hcg-diet-clinics)

Finally, the IAPAM's hCG training is the only medical weight loss training in North America approved for a special medical malpractice rate for those who have attended and have been certified by the IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com).

All of the IAPAM's 2010 and 2011 hCG Medical Weight Management seminars have sold out, so to register for the next session in Scottsdale, Arizona, please see http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/physician-hcg-weight-loss-training, or contact the IAPAM at info@theiapam.com or 1-800-219-5108 ext 708.

PB Millionaire's "Dancing" Video Goes Viral


Becomes Talk Of The Town In Pacific Beach.

San Diego, CA, June 20, 2011 -- A just released new video titled, “The PB Millionaire Presents PB,” is the talk of the town here in Pacific Beach. The video, which showcases PB and its hot spots, is hosted by Jim Lawlor - locally known as the “PB Millionaire.” But what attracts so many viewers is not the beautiful scenery of PB, nor the various clubs that are featured, but Lawlor’s dance moves.

Lawlor seems to be a natural born comedian. About two thirds the way through the video, Lawlor is shown trying to get a date with a mannequin in a store window along Garnet Avenue. He, of course, gets “no response” from what he calls “the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life.” Feeling dejected, he resorts to cheering himself on the dance floor at Beachwood – a popular nightclub in PB. And it’s that dancing that’s causing all the buzz. Lawlor’s self-effacing humor leaves some viewers wondering if he really dances like that. But Lawlor doesn't seem to mind. “I think as long as they are entertained – that’s all that matters,” Lawlor says.


As shown in the beginning of the video, Lawlor soon ran out of money after moving here and was forced to sleep in his car on several occasions and he even slept under the Crystal Pier in PB. Although college educated, Lawlor had to paint houses “as a means to get by.” Serendipitously, while painting a house one day, he came up with the idea to protect his eyes from the painful sting of spray paint, that eventually made him a millionaire.

Lawlor is the star of the soon-to-be-released, “PB Reality Show” (www.pbreality.com), which portrays his unique life-style as a self-made millionaire “living the California Dream.” He is also sponsoring the Miss Pacific Beach Contest to be held at PB Bar and Grill on September 14th this year, which will also be a part of the show.

His new Youtube video was featured on the “PB Reality Show’s” Facebook fan page on Friday morning. By the same time the next day, the video had hit over 1600 views and counting. Many local residents, also on Facebook, saw the video and began sharing it with their Facebook friends. And that is what caused the video to get so many views so quickly. Some of those on Facebook left comments about the video: “Jimmy the dancing machine!” – wrote Richard. Ariel wrote, “That is some funny ass sh*#! Thanks for the laughs.” Sonia wrote, “I luv it, can't wait to see the show in 2012.” Marissa wrote, “Really cool to see this from you Jim!!!”

The average video on Youtube gets slightly less than one view per day. For a video to obtain 1600 views in the first day alone is rather extraordinary. Lawlor is ecstatic about the enormous response to his video: “It is a wonderfully gratifying experience to know that you've entertained someone in some way. You've lightened their day and perhaps made them forget, for at least a little while, their problems.”

Eliminating Persistent HIV Reservoirs


A scientific paper has just been published to summarize current research towards HIV cure and draw a roadmap for coming years to achieve it.

Toulon, France, June 20, 2011 -- There is optimism in the air about the recent discoveries in HIV research. through the discovery of antiretroviral therapy (ART) medications, HIV-infected individuals are living longer, happier, healthier lives. For some people, HIV has been effectively managed to the point where it feels like nothing more than a minor chronic illness. It's a testament to how far technology and research in the field has come. However, the fact that 30 years after HIV was first brought into the mainstream consciousness of the world, a cure has not been found. The research has progressed to the point where finding better ways to manage HIV aren't sufficient anymore. HIV cures are the words for the day now.

Alain Lafeuillade, Chief of the Department of Infectious Diseases at General Hospital in Toulon, France, recently released a paper entitled, "Potential Strategies for an HIV Infection Cure." He begins by pointing out that while ART has improved the lives of HIV-infected patients, its widespread availability is limited -especially in developing countries, where HIV medication is few and far between. While a sterilizing cure may be out of reach, he argues, a functional cure, where infection is controlled without ART, is well within reach.

There are several different strategies being discussed and looked into when it comes to developing an HIV cure. The first addresses the HIV reservoirs within the body that house the HIV when it lies dormant in the body during its latency period. The persistence of HIV is evident by studies that show HIV replication returns to its normal rate once ART is stopped in an HIV-infected patient. ART only slows HIV down, it doesn't stop it completely.

The paper stresses that getting rid of the HIV reservoir is the key to finding a functional cure for HIV. Adding drugs to the ART treatment will "wake up" these HIV reservoirs and stimulate production of HIV. The thought process is that stimulating the production will allow the drugs and the body's own immune system more of an opportunity to kill off producing cells and reduce the reservoirs. It also gives a discussion on the progresses in gene therapy that continue to provide positive results so far. The paper ends with a discussion on what is needed from this point forward to move closer toward finding a cure.

Millions of Anthony Weiners


San Rafael, CA - June 17, 2011 -- Contact: Tom Andrews, 415/479-3800

"America has become a nation of Anthony Weiners," says Rich Gosse, the world’s foremost authority on dating. “Tens of millions of Americans are having virtual sex on the internet. Anthony Weiner has exposed America’s greatest secret-the decline of real relationships with real people. A major percentage of Americans are settling for a cheap imitation of loving relationships.

"While the world rejoices at the collapse of dictatorships in the Arab world, in large part due to Facebook and Twitter," says Mr. Gosse, "little is written about the price that we pay in our own country the decline and fall of face-to-face intimacy."

"As the only person who has produced thousands of singles events worldwide, on six continents," says Mr. Gosse, "I have a unique perspective. I have observed that fewer people are attending singles parties over recent years, while not coincidentally Facebook has expanded to 600 million members. If the current trend continues, some day there may be more virtual sexual relationships than real relationships in America.

"For 33 years, I have fought an uphill battle against SHYNESS, the enemy of intimate relationships," says Mr. Gosse, "through my classes at 61 colleges and my books on dating. That battle is now almost unwinnable, due to the wild popularity of social networking. Past generations of shy Americans were FORCED to leave the safety and comfort of their homes and relate to people face-to-face, in order to earn a living, pay their bills, do their banking, or find a romantic partner. Today all can be done online.

"The greatest tragedy," says Mr. Gosse, "is that Anthony Weiner, the poster boy of sick sexual relationships, actually has a wife who loves him and is about to have a child. He has many personal friends. Millions of Americans are far worse off than Representative Weiner. They have almost no personal contact with other human beings.

Mike Bell Featured in the Light Space & Time Artist Showcase


Jupiter, Florida, June 17, 2011 -- Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is very pleased to have Mike Bell from the UK featured in this month’s artist showcase. After a 30 year career teaching and lecturing about Art and Design, Mike took an early retirement in order to concentrate on his painting. Mike’s art is inspired by 30 years of living and working on the Northumberland coast of England and now, most recently in the Wilds of Redesdale near the border of Scotland. Mike has always been fascinated by the patterns of sand on the beach. Random piles of seaweed or driftwood, in Mike’s mind, is order and chaos together and soon becomes an inspiration for his next landscape painting.

“The images that he creates uses a wide variety of materials such as sand, soil, coal dust, and driftwood are often embedded in his paint surfaces.” Mike goes on further and states “I want my paintings to be as natural as possible and rarely do I use a brush but I will use a finger, a knife, a trowel, sand ,plaster, spray paints and lots of builders materials to create impasto paint surfaces.”

Mike has experimented with Holographic Foils in his paintings in order to simulate the wonderful lighting of Northumberland area. Since moving to Redesdale he has been inspired and has become aware of the interaction of man and nature, especially in the area’s wild crags, quarries, moorland and forest to create a wonderful tapestry at different times of year.

Mike states that “rock strata, strange cloud formations, moody sunsets, reflections in rivers and lakes all have me rushing for camera or sketchbook.” The “Land of Far Horizons”, Northumberland has light which enhances the tactile quality of the Landscape no matter what the season. His hope is that his work stimulates a wide range of perception and feelings for this "Land of Far Horizons".

AAA endorses rise of impact investment education


Impact investment advocacy organization, Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA), has said that the increasing number of business degree and Masters courses that are focusing on impact investing is a welcome sign of the growing importance and unquestionable credibility of the sector.

Boston, Massachusetts, UNITED STATES, June 17, 2011 -- Impact investment advocacy organization, Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA), has said that the increasing number of business degree and Masters courses that are focusing on impact investing is a welcome sign of the growing importance and unquestionable credibility of the sector.

AAA analyst, Anthony Johnson, said that prestigious, internationally renowned business schools – including Wharton and Stanford – are now running MBA programs that allow their students to focus on socially responsible forms of investment, such as sustainable timber projects. These courses, he said, will create an ever-improving field of expertise in the sector.

His words echoed those of the chief executive of the San Francisco-based impact investment group, Investors' Circle, Suzanne Biegel, who said that the programs were gaining importance across the globe. "Social entrepreneurship programs have exploded in business schools across the US and Europe," she said.

Cornell University's Graduate School of Management and the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University also host specific programs, with the latter going one step further this year, hosting the first International Impact Investing Challenge.

The challenge put forward more than $40,000 in prizes for students who could produce innovative impact investment vehicles, which were then pitched to institutional investors, including endowments, pension funds, and family foundations.

Johnson said that the rise of these courses in the business schools of the world was an important foreshadowing of the types of investments that are set to drive the global financial industry in the future.

"Impact investment assets are currently estimated to be valued at $50 billion, with industry studies predicting them to explode to $500 billion by the year 2025, suggesting that the students currently focusing their MBAs on them are doing so with highly justifiable reason," said Johnson.

"Impact and alternative investments open up a whole new social perspective on learning about finance, based around the fact that where there is human need there is opportunity. The changes that this has on supply and demand throughout supply chain are numerous an they also add a social benefit layer that did not previously exist in the financial markets."

Many of the programs are focusing on the modes of business and the basic needs of the countries where many impact investments occur – practices and needs that most investors will be unfamiliar with. Impact investment is predicted to show its strongest growth in China, India, and in African nations, where the markets are dealing with population migration, resource scarcity and growth demands, as well as infrastructure-related issues. All of these problems present ample opportunity for investment projects, so it is only appropriate that the students of today spend their education learning about them.

RF Engines Releases ChannelCore FlexTM, the World's Most Flexible Ultra-Wideband Channelizer Solution


High-performance, feature rich Channelizer addresses demands of next generation Electronic Surveillance, Satcoms and Wireless Base Station applications.

Newport, Isle of Wight, UK - 17th June 2011 -- The ultimate radio receiver is capable of detecting and processing signals across all of the radio spectrum, all of the time. RF Engines Limited (RFEL) has taken a large step towards this goal with the introduction of an innovative and highly flexible, ultra-wideband, Channelizer IP core – the ChannelCore Flex™.

ChannelCore Flex is a major breakthrough as it provides the customer with the ability to extract from a very wide input signal any number of channels simultaneously in real time. These can be any combination of different bandwidths and sampling rates with any overlap and centre frequencies. Furthermore, each channel can be individually defined and changed as required so that the system designer can tailor a solution that precisely meets the needs of the application on a single FPGA.

RFEL anticipates that the ChannelCore Flex will find widespread application in areas including Electronic Surveillance, satellite communications and future Base Station architectures, where simultaneous monitoring, detection and demodulation of a mixture of disparate communication channels, such as WiMax and GSM, using a single architecture are a definitive requirement.

“ChannelCore Flex delivers advanced features that are the culmination of over ten years of design and implementation experience and delivers the ability to do things that previously could not be done or required huge resources,” explained John Summers, RFEL’s CEO. “The pedigree of RFEL in the area of channelization means that there is a very low technical risk when embarking on a new design, so customers can be confident of being ‘up and running’ very quickly.”

Channelization is a relatively straight forward signal-processing task. For example, a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) can efficiently process a wideband signal into over 1000 channels. However, this can only be done with limitations:

- The channels all have equal bandwidths, which is inflexible and problematic when processing different types of transmissions concurrently.
- The bandwidth of individual channels is inversely proportional to the number of channels supported.
- The centre frequencies of the channels are uniformly spaced and are not independently controllable.
- There is limited control of the frequency response of the individual channels, leading to compromised stop-band and pass-band performance.
- It cannot be readily interfaced to existing hardware due to differing sampling rates and data formats.

More advanced signal processing techniques, such as Weighted Over-Lap and Add (WOLA) pre-processing and hierarchical channelization using a Pipelined Frequency Transform (PFT), can overcome many of these limitations. RFEL has adopted these highly significant enhancements, along with other proprietary techniques, to create an ultra-wideband Channelizer that offers unrivalled performance and flexibility, enabling it to be tailored to bespoke applications while remaining very hardware efficient.

ChannelCore Flex is capable of being configured to support many thousands of channels, spanning an input bandwidth exceeding 1 GHz. Importantly, these channels can have individual bandwidths that can vary by several orders of magnitude, be overlapped to accommodate broadband transmissions, and have centre frequencies and sample rates that can be independently tuneable to sub-Hertz resolution (=1Hz). The end result is a Channelizer architecture that can be configured to support concurrent monitoring of multiple channels, with bandwidths ranging from as large as hundreds of Megahertz, to as narrow as a few Hertz, delivering an overall aggregate channelized sample rate that can exceed 1Gs/s.

Implementation
Unfortunately, there is no optimal, ‘one size fits all,’ Channelizer architecture, as each application places very different demands on the implementation. RFEL has resolved this problem by producing an IP core that is compile and run-time programmable from a simple set of parameters derived from the user’s technical specification. The end result is a high-performance and optimized IP core that has precisely the required level of flexibility demanded by the application, while minimising hardware cost and delivering a fast time-to-market.

Price & Availability
ChannelCore Flex is available for licensing now for implementation in a wide range of Xilinx or Altera FPGA devices. Supplied as a netlist, the IP is very compact so that low cost, medium sized FPGAs could be used. For example, a solution for a 200MHz input with 500 channels ranging from 5kHz to 5MHz would fit on a $100 device. Prices are dependent on each implementation’s specific set of requirements, but typically fall in the range of $10K - $40K.

RF Engines Ltd
RF Engines Limited (RFEL) is a leading UK-based electronic systems design company, providing high specification signal processing solutions for FPGAs, as well as supplying digital receiver and complete product solutions for the homeland security, defence, communications and instrumentation markets. Applications include communications base stations, satellite communications systems, test and measurement instrumentation, and bespoke wideband receivers/transceivers.
