T & K Futures and Options, Inc. Says that Natural Gas Prices are Too Cheap










Port St. Lucie, FL (PRWEB) October 26, 2010

T & K Futures and Options, Inc. believes that natural gas futures prices are too cheap. The winter heating season is right around the corner and the markets seem to have already factored in the most bearish scenario imaginable for natural gas supply and demand forecasts. At these levels, the risk would seem to be to the upside for investors.

There is plenty of bearish news factored into the natural gas futures markets lately. Many large investors such as hedge funds and commodity funds have left the markets according to them most recent CFTC Commitment of Traders report. Underground supplies are up significantly because of shale production and there was less demand over the summer as electricity consumers cut back on air conditioning usage. According to data published by Baker Hughes, the Gulf of Mexico rig count is up by 34% to 966 from 721 from a year ago. All this bearish news in the market could be setting up a major contrarian investor play and for natural gas prices to rise significantly over the next 12 months. Visit http://www.tkfutures.com/natural_gas.htm to learn more about natural gas futures and options trading.

A cold winter could cut into the current underground natural gas supplies significantly over the next few months and hurricane season is still here for another month. Any increases in demand or disruptions in the supply of natural gas as it moves from point A to point B could spark a considerable short covering rally pushing natural gas futures prices much higher. Visit http://www.tkfutures.com/education.htm to learn more about the mechanics of futures and options trading.

The author of this article is a 17 year veteran of the natural gas futures and options markets and the president of T & K Futures and Options, Inc. Futures, options and foreign exchange products carry significant risk of loss and only risk capital should be used for this type of investment.

Dr. Michael Minovitch Announces Findings on His Invention: Gravity Assist Multiplanetary Trajectories

Dr. Michael Minovitch Announces Findings on His Invention: Gravity Assist Multiplanetary Trajectories











Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 2, 2010

Space travel and exploration would not be the same without the diligent and innovative work of Dr. Michael A. Minovitch. In 1961, Dr. Minovitch invented gravity assist multiplanetary trajectories, designed to significantly reduce launch energies and flight times by replacing traditional direct-transfer trajectories with indirect detour trajectories that pass a series of intermediate planets. By passing the intermediate planets on carefully designed “approach trajectories,” the vehicle receives great changes in its orbital energy without rocket propulsion in a way designed to gravitationally catapult the vehicle to the next planet in the series that can be continued indefinitely thereby achieving speeds impossible to achieve with rocket propulsion. Minovitch is announcing that alll of the corresponding information and documents are now available at gravityassist.com as a resource.

Gravity Propelled Interplanetary Space Travel is a way to explore the entire solar system at great speeds using relatively little launch energy without any subsequent rocket propulsion. Before Minovitch’s invention became known, launching a space vehicle from Earth via conventional rocket propulsion to explore the outer planets beyond Jupiter was believed to be physically impossible by JPL, NASA, and in all of the hundreds of archival professional papers, including those of the world’s leading space researchers and astrodynamicists, such as Author C. Clarke, Derek F. Lawden, Theodore von Karman and Krafft Ehricke.

The solution: Gravity Propelled Interplanetary Space Travel — A radically new theory for achieving unlimited high-energy interplanetary space travel throughout the entire solar system without a rocket engine. It was the result of Dr. Minovitch’s research. He discovered the mathematical formula for achieving high-energy multiplanetary space travel without rocket propulsion (gravity propulsion) by solving the problem of calculating the required approach trajectories. With this mathematical method of space travel, any desired target destination in the solar system previously believed to be impossible to reach without nuclear propulsion (that turned out to be beyond engineering feasibility) can be easily reached with relatively small conventional launch vehicles by simply replacing the usual direct-transfer trajectory with an indirect gravity propelled trajectory that passes one or more intermediate gravity propulsion planets.

“The key to achieving this invention was solving the mathematical problem of determining the required ‘approach trajectories’,” explains Minovitch. “I solved this problem using vector analysis, changing the usual method for defining conic trajectories in a three dimensional coordinate system from the standard constant six scalar “orbital element” representation that was used and taken for granted for over 200 years by all the professionals, to a two constant “orbital vector” representation, and discovering a general vector planet-vehicle orbital energy exchange equation for all possible planetary approach and departure trajectories for catapulting the vehicle to the next gravity propulsion planet in the encounter sequence.”

The discovery of the general vector planet-vehicle orbital energy exchange equation was the important component because it provided the required orbital energy exchanges via a series of controlled gravitational interactions with intermediate planets to reach the target destination on a high-energy trajectory (or a low energy trajectory) without rocket propulsion.

“I recognized that the planet-vehicle energy exchange equation provided the means for controlling the thrust vector generated on a free-fall space vehicle by the gravitational forces of a passing planet as if they were generated by a powerful on-board rocket engine. And these gravitational propulsive thrust forces increase automatically in direct proportion with the vehicle’s inertial mass according to the Newtonian equivalence principal,” continues Dr. Minovitch. “This enabled the post-encounter trajectory to be precisely controlled to catapult the vehicle to the next planet in the encounter sequence in a process that can be continued indefinitely by passing an unlimited number of intermediate gravity propulsion planets.”

The invention made it mathematically possible to explore the entire solar system with only one space vehicle using the lowest amount of launch energy required for reaching any planet, the launch energy required for reaching Venus. In this invention, the energy required to explore the solar system comes from the solar system itself.

Dr. Minovitch invented gravity propelled interplanetary space travel while he was a Ph.D. student in mathematics and physics at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) during the summer of 1961, working on a part-time summer job at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). He presented it to JPL in a technical paper dated August 23, 1961 entitled, “A Method for Determining Interplanetary Free-Fall Reconnaissance Trajectories,” (JPL, TM 312-130). Unfortunately, Minovitch’s supervisor believed it violated the law of conservation of energy and dismissed it as a physical impossibility. Minovitch, realizing that the invention was important, took the invention to UCLA and that is where it was initially investigated. After a few weeks, he numerically proved it was one of the most revolutionary inventions ever conceived because it opened the entire solar system to direct exploration with instrumented spacecraft. It not only made it possible, it made it easy using relatively small conventional launch vehicles that all the professionals believed was completely impossible.

The invention of Gravity Propelled Interplanetary Space Travel has taken off, as it made possible the Pioneer, Voyager, Ulysses, Galileo, Cassini Missions, and many more such as the New Horizons Earth — Jupiter — Pluto Mission, the planned Earth — Jupiter — Sun Mission, and countless others in the planning stages.

A recent invited paper by Dr. Minovitch explaining the mathematical details of the invention entitled “The Invention That Opened the Solar System to Exploration,” was published in the May 2010 issue of Planetary Pioneers Series of the journal, Planetary and Space Science. It can be obtained by calling 1-888-834-7287.

About Dr. Michael A. Minovitch:

A scholar, mathematician, physicist, inventor, and a contributor to space travel, Dr. Michael A. Minovitch is revered as a true “planetary pioneer” as the man who opened the entire solar system to exploration with instrumented spacecraft with his invention of gravity propelled interplanetary space travel, and solving the seemingly impossible mathematical problem of computing the trajectories Originally from Yonkers, New York, Minovitch came to California as a young child with his parents in 1945. He earned his AB Degree in Mathematics with a minor in physics from UCLA in 1958. He then went on to graduate school at UCLA where he began studying for Ph.D. degrees in both mathematics and physics. He transferred to UC Berkeley in 1964 where he received his Ph.D. degree in Mathematics in 1970. To date, Minovitch has approximately 50 US and foreign patents on his inventions with several more still pending. In 1991, Dr. Michael A. Minovitch was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Physics for his invention of gravity propelled interplanetary space travel. In 1992, Dr. Minovitch was interviewed on PBS television where he described his invention in, “Episode 3 — The Unexpected Universe” for WQED/Pittsburgh/National Academy of Sciences/NHK/Japan, PBS television series: Space Age.

The Trouble with Money or Why Does the U.S. Dollar Rise and Fall and Then Rise Again

New York, NY (Vocus) November 6, 2010

The Trouble with Money or Why Does the U.S. Dollar Rise and Fall and Then Rise Again, a new book by Annette Meyer, has been released by RoseDog Books.

The Trouble with Money… reflects on the development of monetary theory and policy, including concentrated coverage of central banking and interest rates, exchange rates and foreign trade, and balance of payments and international currency reserves.

Annette Meyer’s attention then turns to the path of real exchange rates and other macroeconomic variables for US dollar in contrast to those of China, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, Russia, and Turkey. In addition, growth of the Gross Domestic Product and other related elements of the national economics from 1995 to 2004 are studied.

At the close of the work, further investigation of price indexes, money supply, fiscal balance, currency flows, external debt, and a host of other participating economic activities of the eight nations yields significant clues as to why the US dollar repeatedly rebounds on the international scene.

Money has been on Meyer’s mind since her childhood days of clothing budget allowances, financing holiday presents, and gaining college tuition funds. However, her formal education in economics began at Brooklyn College of CUNY, continued at New York University, and was enhanced at Hunter College and Graduate School and University Center of CUNY.

Meyer has been an Adjunct Professor of Economics at Hunter College of CUNY, President and founding member of Economists of New Jersey, and Professor Emeritus of the College of New Jersey. She has written many books and articles on money, budgets, and global economic challenges.

The Trouble with Money or Why Does the U.S. Dollar Rise and Fall and Then Rise Again is a 106-page paperback with a retail price of $ 15.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4349-8222-3. It was published by RoseDog Books of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

New FaceBook Application for Person-to-Person (P2P) Electronic Fund Transfer

May 4, 2012 By

New FaceBook Application for Person-to-Person (P2P) Electronic Fund Transfer










Plano, TX (PRWEB) November 12, 2010

Principals today announced the impending release of a FaceBook application known as the Vault. The Vault is designed to transmit electronic funds between socially connected individuals and their demand banking accounts. Designed with the social media platforms characteristics and resources in mind, The Vault takes advantage of the party’s relationship status, accessibility, data sharing and secure identifications to make sending and receiving funds fast, safe and convenient.

Ultimately, The Vault will allow anyone in the United States with a bank account to send and receive money using their FaceBook account. This electronic payment service is accessible as a FaceBook application and leverages the same secure processing as online banking transactions. The money is deducted from the sender’s account and deposited directly in the recipient’s bank account in one to three business days with payment notifications and confirmations sent to the recipient’s and senders email, walls and/or message space. The ability to electronically transfer funds between accounts and financial institutions provides a convenient, easy-to-use, secure service that simplifies financial management and provides an additional payment alternative.

The Vault is anticipating generating significant interest with its unique design and delivery that make it so convenient to use.

According to Patrick Lee, CEO of Top Line Ventures, Incorporated which is the Vaults corporate owner, “There is no question that the role of social media and network communities is here to stay. Just like our ancestors from earlier millennia developed the means to exchange capital — we are supporting that very same demand with The Vault. It’s a new dimension available to electronic community participants to transfer capital between connected individuals. Yes, it is true that our original inspiration came from the history books. In all our research we know clearly that P2P, or person to person electronic transactions, are about to explode. We just figured we would embed that capability and its inherent conveniences right where so many people are connecting, communicating, sharing and dialoging in the networked world.”

Initial availability of The Vault’s FaceBook© delivery in a limited and controlled rollout process after the completion of extensive testing, licensing and certification will be the fourth calendar quarter of 2010. Future plans call for presenting the same application features on other social platforms such as MySpace©, Okrut©, iPhone®, BlackBerry®, Android®, etc; followed by foreign currency handling and non-US based social media platforms.

About The Vault

The Vault is the collaboration of partners with nearly one hundred years of experience in the financial services, technology, application software, technology and company management. The core design team has extensive experience in financial services, electronic funds transmissions and technical architectures.

The Vault’s design is patent pending by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and incorporates a sophisticated engine that feeds the ACH process like any online banking platform, and it combines both the convenience and security of established and existing social connections on the front end. Additional information is available at http://www.ilovethevault.com.

Statements made in this news release that are not historical facts are forward-looking information. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking information. Specifically, there are a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by any forward-looking information.

Multicultural Social Network for English Speakers in Uruguay to Celebrate 5th Anniversary

May 3, 2012 By

Multicultural Social Network for English Speakers in Uruguay to Celebrate 5th Anniversary











Palacio Salvo; Uruguayan Landmark


Montevideo, Uruguay (PRWEB) November 13, 2010

All over the Internet are websites and promotions for travel, investing, high tech telecommuting and retirement in many tropical and exotic places. These websites are designed to create a vision of paradise where life is peaceful, safe and cheap. Some people are so inspired by their visions, they pack their bags and move to their dream paradise sight unseen.

Something different happened 5 five years ago, far away from the USA in Uruguay, a small country hidden in South America, just below Brazil. The small country isn’t tropical or exotic, and gated communities are almost unknown, but some call it paradise.

There is not much information about Uruguay available and many have questions: Is it tropical? Is it cheap? Is it safe? How do they handle Real Estate Investments? And many more. Some say it is the San Tropez or the Switzerland of South America. Or that it has the Architecture of Barcelona.

To help answer these and many more questions, a social networking group was formed in November 2005, called, “The Montevideo English Speaking Expat Meeting”. On November 21st, the Group will be celebrating it’s Fifth Anniversary of meeting for lunch every single Sunday without fail since 2005!

The group was the brainchild of Glen Roberts, who had moved to Uruguay a few months earlier from Costa Rica. He had started the website, TotalUruguay.com just before he moved. However, the website was just that–a website. It lacked the human element … so Roberts decided to bring out the human side by announcing a time and place for people to meet. The weekly meeting has since grown into a multinational, multicultural social networking event and social support group.

It started with only North Americans, but soon included other English-speaking foreigners, as well as local Uruguayans. The locals attend in order to enhance their English-speaking skills because it is hard to find native speakers to converse with. They also contribute their in-depth knowledge of the area and the rich history of their Uruguayan culture. Today the group is truly international. There is hardly a Sunday that goes by without people from three or four different countries attending. The luncheons are informal social gatherings with no business agenda.

Yet people in the group have found jobs, social support, business contacts, romantic partners and more. The wide range of backgrounds, experiences, cultures and dreams of attendees always keeps things interesting. There is no mailing list or sales agenda, however many notes with phone numbers, web pages and other information exchange hands every Sunday.

Unlike many of the international relocation web sites or groups, this meeting takes no position on the benefits of moving to Uruguay. It is simply a social environment for people to share their experiences and information. The allure of Uruguay hasn’t been just for baby boomers and others those looking to retire, but also for some who are high tech telecommuters who can chose to live anyplace that suits them.

One of the informal group’s attendees, Pete remarked, “When people like us, all over the world, find themselves in a position to travel or even emigrate to a new country, we’re met with a host of surprising changes. Sometimes those changes can be brutal.”

Many don’t know what to do in a foreign country, end up sitting in their hotel room on social networking sites searching for information. There are lots of people to talk to online but it can be difficult to connect at a deep level. TotalUruguay.com brought social networking to life five years ago in Uruguay, by putting the human element back in.

At the TotalUruguay.com Sunday luncheons total strangers sit down and within moments discover they have become friends. A room full of strangers start sharing their experiences and perspectives and often find surprising connections to others. Also in attendance are Uruguayans who will openly share their thoughts and suggestions.

Some of the things which are often shared include differences in the legal system, how much cars cost, how to get residency, housing, and lots of other neat stuff. For those who need specific help to find some products or services, there is bound to be someone that can help or give a good referral. The conversations are hardly limited to talk about Uruguay, and most anything may come up.

From world travelers just touching down for a week or two, long term expat residents, retirees seeking safe harbor, college age people in search of Samba and Tango, or any other myriad of people… they can all be found socializing. At one meeting or another, most all cultural, religious and economic backgrounds have been present openly sharing.

Roberts highlights the interesting backgrounds of many attendees by asking “Where are you from?” He says, “that question may well stump them. It can mean so many different things: Where were you born? Where did you live last? Where do you live now? Or, What travels brought you to Uruguay?” Often the complete answer is a long interesting commentary on ones life, all the different places they’ve lived, their experiences in those places and why they’re thinking about Uruguay.

One couple stopped by while picking up supplies on the way back to the tropics after a skiing trip in the pristine mountains of Chile. Another rather lost but friendly fellow said, “My company transferred me here. I’ve never heard of the place, and I don’t speak Spanish at all.” Many people come here to retire because of the mild climate, great beaches, and beautiful surroundings.

There is no RSVP or registration so each meeting comes as a surprise to all the attendees. No two weekends are the same. One native English speaker, living in Uruguay and speaking only Castellano for 9 years, said that after his first visit with the group he realized that he really did need to get back in touch with his native language. Europeans come by to share things on a number of topics. Asians, Africans and other South Americans often attend the meetings as well.

Another regular attendee, Karin, told us, “I love the Sunday lunches! It is a great opportunity to get up to date with friends and meet new friends! And the food is delicious!” To further quote North American ex-pat, Pete, said, “In the group we met a whole bunch of new friends. The people who had been here for a while help make the transition a smooth one. It truly is a pleasure to have friends help take the edges off of things like the cultural changes and legal differences that always exist in a new country. They knew the ins and outs of everything from what you can buy, where, and what you can’t, to how to settle in, become a resident, and begin to assimilate. Really, I don’t know how hard it might have been if it were not for all the help these kind people so willingly gave. I can’t say it too strongly. If you are coming down here to live, or even just to sample the place to see if you’ll fit in, you simply must come on by to hang out with us!”

No reservation is needed and everyone in Montevideo is welcome. The lunch is scheduled every Sunday at 12:00 Noon. It is held at Fellini’s Restaurant (corner of Benito Blanco and Jose Marti streets), in the Pocitos neighborhood of Montevideo. Fellini’s is a cozy Italian restaurant with a great dessert menu and wine selection. Please refer to our website for a map and any updates.

About TotalUruguay.com: The web site Total Uruguay is an online community focused on Uruguay where people can share information and experiences and where people who are considering a move or travel to Uruguay can meet residents of Uruguay and others considering relocation. Total Uruguay also publishes “Expat Guide to Uruguay” available as a free PDF download or for 99 cents on Amazon Kindle.

Those who aren’t able to attend the Sunday lunches are welcome to participate on the web site and dream about the gentle little paradise called Uruguay, tucked far away from the pressures of the world.

Domain Properties Releases 2011 NYC Hotel Market Forecast and Moves into Future











Hotels For Sale NYC by Domain 646-403-4441


New York, NY (PRWEB) November 14, 2010 –-

Domain Properties, a well-known name among buyers and sellers in the Manhattan hotel industry, has released its latest report about NYC hotels.

Their recent edition ‘Manhattan Hotel Industry in NYC – 2011 NYC Hotel Market Forecast and 2010 Overview – Buyers & Sellers – Third Edition’ focuses on the future of the NYC hotel industry but also analyzes how the industry fared in 2010. According to Domain Properties, NYC hotels flourished in 2010 and the industry can expect more of the same during 2011 and beyond.

Their report notes that “the Manhattan hotel industry was favorable to everyone in the first eight months of 2010.” Domain Properties says that NYC is getting ready to welcome 46.7 million visitors by the end of 2010. They list NYC hotels planned for the last quarter of 2010 as well as into 2011-2012.

Before the beginning of the new year, more hotels will be built in Lower Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. Domain Properties is moving into the future with confidence. They see significant development on the way in 2011 for the Manhattan hotel industry.

The knowledgeable team at Domain Properties explains in their report, “Thirty-one properties (7,523 rooms) are expected to be developed in New York City between 2010 and 2011. That number is 10.7% of the 2009 NYC room count. By the end of 2011, Manhattan will have 77,943 hotel rooms. Boutique hotels will account for 48% of that development with full-service hotels making up 19% of the proposed properties.”

Domain Property’s ’2011 NYC Hotel Market Forecast’ makes encouraging predictions about future activity in the Manhattan industry. The detailed report suggests that “RevPAR is predicted to increase by 4.6% by the end of 2010, almost 10% in 2011, and a repeat of double digit percentages in 2012 and 2013. It is believed that NYC RevPAR will return to its peak level in 2014.”

No doubt, Domain Properties knows the Manhattan hotel industry. They work ‘strictly confidential’ with all parties in the NYC hotel industry including buyers and sellers, hospitality investment groups and real estate developers, as well as foreign investors. For sellers, they provide pro forma projection and expert negotiation (hotel management, hotel performance analyst).

Hotel owners always get a CNDA (confidentiality non-disclosure agreement) from each potential principal brought to the table by Domain Properties. The CNDA is set up prior to releasing the hotel profile to a buyer. Hotel sellers choose Domain Properties because sellers know that this reputable firm will work ‘strictly confidential’ on their behalf. Buyers know that Domain Properties works only with principals.

RSA Corp Implements International Contract Staffing Model Through Trusted Affiliates

RSA Corp Implements International Contract Staffing Model Through Trusted Affiliates











RSA Corp’s trusted affiliate, NPA


Webster, TX (PRWEB) November 15, 2010

RSA Corp, a member/owner of NPA Worldwide, is proud to announce the recent implementation of an International Contract Staffing model utilizing trusted NPA Worldwide affiliates in foreign countries. The model offers a seamless, single point of contact for one of RSA Corp’s multinational chemical manufacturing clients. After many years as a preferred partner, RSA Corp was tasked by the client to enhance the relationship on a global scale.

RSA receives the order for personnel and then engages the trusted member/owner partners of NPA Worldwide to do the search locally in the foreign location. The NPA Worldwide member/owners are independent, locally owned and operated, successful staffing firms who possess intimate knowledge of the cultures, hiring practices, compensation requirements and common processes in their local market. The member/owners have a mature database of local IT talent unmatched by international providers who depend upon branches and branch managers who may not be from the regions.

The local member/owner provides payroll services in local currencies, thereby alleviating the difficulties in currency exchange. The local member/owner pays the consultant in accordance with local country guidelines, and then invoices RSA Corp, who in turn consolidates all billing to the domestic client. In so doing, the client experiences a reduction in administrative costs and avoids the hassles of currency exchange differences.

“We are very excited about the implementation of RSA Corp’s international model,” says the client’s IT&S International Director, “because the single point of contact for a search, and for invoicing and payments reduces our costs and streamlines our hiring of international consultants. RSA Corp has been a trusted staffing partner for over seven years and this expanded capability will prove to be a valuable addition to their service for our company.”

For more than fifty years, NPA, The Worldwide Recruiting Network has been connecting independent global recruiting firms to facilitate split placements. NPA Worldwide is the oldest recruiting network of its kind, with an international membership of recruiting firms located throughout Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa and the Americas. The code of ethics and the best practices of partnership shared by member/owners provide a trust basis that is unparalleled in the staffing industry.

The Late Escape: One in Four Brits Plan a Holiday Before the End of the Year

The Late Escape: One in Four Brits Plan a Holiday Before the End of the Year












(PRWEB) November 16, 2010

It seems the traditional idea of a summer holiday holds less appeal for many holidaying Brits, with one in four now planning their holiday during the end of year low season (October – December), according to new research from Halifax.

Of those opting to holiday late in the year a quarter of respondents said that they do so as to avoid peak prices, a further 23% are looking for winter sun, whilst 14% feel that they can go further for their money. With this in mind almost around 3 million will be planning a trip to a long haul destination (outside of Europe and Russia) and over 2.5 million are hoping for some late sun with a visit to southern Europe and the Mediterranean.

With over 11 million people opting to head off on a holiday in the last few months of the year, it is expected that collectively they will be spending over £9 billion getting away and a further £500 million whilst on holiday.

Meanwhile, one in three state that they are finding it harder to save up money for a holiday. To counteract this, 29% of people now spend longer looking for the best deal, whilst 23% have cut back on leisure activities to afford their holiday and 13% have taken on extra work.

However, there are other important ways in which consumers can save on their holiday. With 32%(ii) of holiday makers using a credit card whilst away, it is increasingly important to make sure that the plastic in your wallet will make your money go further.

The Halifax Clarity credit card makes using a credit card abroad a more appealing option by charging no foreign exchange fees worldwide on any transactions or cash withdrawals. It offers a flat rate of interest at 12.9% typical APR across all transactions, which means consumers will see no cost difference for using their card whilst they are on holiday than when using it in the UK.

Ken Stannard, Halifax Director, Credit Cards comments: “Low season holidays hold a great deal of appeal for those that are looking to get away but still make the most of their money. However, more budget conscious holidaymakers need to also ensure that they are getting the best deal on their travel money as well. The Clarity credit card not only offers no foreign exchange fees at a great rate, but using a credit card abroad can also give the consumer extra piece of mind that their purchases are secure.”
