City dwellers will make up 70 percent of the world population by 2050, and cities must enact drastic changes now in order to accommodate the city dwellers of the 21st century; and offer them living conditions that are conducive to personal development and well-being.

Architects can play a crucial role in the city evolution with their capacity to meet the challenges of urban sustainability, and develop the tools needed to create resilient, sustainable and livable cities.

Architect Philip H. Recto, the keynote speaker during the Philippine observance of World Day of Architecture celebration conducted by the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) recently, urged architects to be city changers by playing an active role in the city evolution, especially in areas such as mitigating climate change, reducing carbon emissions, and improving management of resources and energy; structuring cities to be more socially-inclusive, accessible and equitable; developing cities that can resist crises and cataclysms; developing economic, educational and creative opportunities for all; and ensuring the security and sanitary conditions essential to all inhabitants.

"Architects alone, and on their own, cannot bring about the ideal change that society needs in the face of climate change. However, we are in a position to initiate and lead the desired change to mitigate the challenge and get our communities more prepared in dealing with the adversities that climate change may bring," Recto said.

"The task is not really as awesome as it seems. The first step is to work towards getting everyone engaged in the change process, and inculcate the notion that change has to begin with oneself," he added.

He also said that his architectural office was furnished with 97 percent recycled materials in support of sustainable development.

Recto stressed that "in the context of the U.N. Human Settlements campaign 'I am a City Changer,' it begins with an awareness of the urban issues that confront us today; and it is this awareness that should transform our attitude - from one of resignation that things happen by chance, to a victorious attitude that we can make a difference because things happen by choice."

The World Day of Architecture celebration was initiated by the Union Internationale des Architectes (UIA) or International Union of Architects which is an international federation of national associations of architects with headquarters in Paris.

Since its founding in 1948, it has grown to encompass the key professional organizations of architects in 124 countries and territories, and counts some 1.3 million members worldwide today.

In 1996, the UIA decided to celebrate the World Day of Architecture on the first Monday of October of each year. This is the same day that the UN observes World Habitat Day in order to reflect on the state of human settlements and the basic right to adequate shelter for all.

ATLANTA, Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --The advent of new personal computing devices with more memory and greater capabilities means that the workplace computer and the home personal computer will morph into a single device, transforming the workplace yet again and underscoring the continued blurring of lines between work and personal lifestyles.

The trend toward Bring Your Own Technology or "BYOT" are among the findings by CoreNet Global, an association of corporate real estate executives which earlier this year released Corporate Real Estate 2020, a forward-looking study of corporate workplace and real estate trends.

The implications of sharing personal and business computing in a single device include physical and electronic security measures, saving corporate expenses, and varying real estate space allocations.

CoreNet Global's research findings also predict that the power and speed of personal digital devices will eventually make cloud computing obsolete.

By the next decade, information technology (IT) support budgets could decrease by as much as 40 percent, according to the study, as IT provisioning of individuals becomes the responsibility of the employee.

Additionally, another major contributor to BYOT into the corporate workplace will be the accelerated growth of the "contingent" and contract work force expected to comprise up to 60 percent of many organizations in terms of total overall employee headcount by the year 2020.

"Companies will just assume an employee has that device and that it can run any applications, so I don't see why a company wouldn't just have an app that you load onto your personal PC, or iPad, or tablet, or whatever it is. Then, you just access their world through your application," said one corporate executive who participated in the study conducted over the course of 10 months between August 2011 and May 2012.

However, barriers to the adoption of BYOT will remain in the form of security, particularly relevant to the world financial institutions, for whom keeping too much information in the cloud becomes an unnecessary risk.

Still that challenge will give rise in the short term to the development of new and high-tech forms of electronic security, including biometric security.

"BYOT is not quite wearable yet and it's not quite biometric, however, I think that's coming in the next several years in the near very near term future," the same executive commented in the study.

borro has disrupted the mainstream pawn broking and auction industries by creating a liquidity marketplace for luxury personal assets. Launched in the UK in 2008 and in the US in January 2012, borro has defined a new category of lending - Personal Asset Lending - in the process. With an average loan value of $10,000, borro focuses on providing liquidity from luxury personal assets such as watches, jewelry, prestige and classic cars, fine art and antiques.

Octopus, one of the UK's leading specialist investment management companies, first financed borros UK loan book in 2011. The new facility builds on Octopus existing relationship with borro and the growing demand for personal asset backed lending in the US and the UK.

Paul Aitken, CEO and Founder of borro, said: This new funding line represents the confidence the market has in our business, and marks the next development in our relationship with Octopus Investments. It is another exciting step for borro, and will allow us to meet the demand from clients for our unique lending proposition, therefore maximizing our opportunity to become the leading global online liquidity marketplace for luxury personal assets. We have invested heavily in our US and UK businesses with a recent equity injection ($26 million) from a US led venture capital consortium, and in Octopus Investments we have a very important partnership that provides a significant new lending capacity to meet demand for our lending.

Hugh Costello, Investment Manager at Octopus, commented: We have been working with borros management team for the last 18 months and we continue to be impressed by borro's product, its business model and the team. There is significant growth potential within this area of specialist lending and borro is rapidly asserting itself as the market leader in the personal asset backed lending sector.

borro is in a strong position to grow in the US and UK and it is a well-capitalized business. Its recent round of equity fundraising ($26 million) is a testament to the confidence its investors have in its operational focus and loan book management. We look forward to continuing to support the business as it enters its next stage of development.

This latest funding line brings borros financing activities to $58 million in the last two weeks. borro recently announced a $26 million fundraising round from a venture capital consortium led by tech investment giant, Canaan Partners, a global venture capital firm with over $3 billion under management. Ribbit Capital also invested in the round, and previous investors Augmentum Capital, Eden Ventures, and Rockridge participated as well. The investment accelerates rapid growth in both the US and UK markets for borro.

"OppenheimerFunds is committed to delivering a consultative platform to help advisors achieve their business goals," said John McDonough, Director of National Sales. "To demonstrate that commitment, we have changed the formal titles of our sales force to Senior Advisor Consultants and Regional Advisor Consultants."

The program consists of three components: keynote presentational content, a multimedia web-based support structure and more than 100 OppenheimerFunds consultants trained by Mr. Blease and Duke Corporate Education2. Our current library consists of the following three modules:

OppenheimerFunds' field force has been immersed in CEO Solution, the internal component of the CEO Advisor Institute, for more than two years, in preparation for delivering a consultative platform for advisors while continuing to provide excellent product and investment insight.
