E-Publishing: Nature Writer Uses the Internet to Get Around Media Gatekeepers

E-Publishing: Nature Writer Uses the Internet to Get Around Media Gatekeepers

(PRWEB) June 3, 2000

Early in the twentieth century, John Burroughs and Theodore Roosevelt popularized nature writing, but only in the last decade has nature writing by modern practitioners been accepted as a valid literary form. The rediscovery of nature writing, however, is far from a renaissance, and traditional outlets for true nature writing remain meager.

A new Web site by Robert Winkler represents a nature writer's attempt to gain empowerment by disarming the editorial gatekeepers. His noncommercial site could be subtitled, "Adventures in the Suburban Wilderness." An experiment in direct publishing, it tests the Web's potential for democratization of expression with essays, unfiltered by editors, that follow the tradition of New England nature writing perfected by Henry D. Thoreau.

"To most of the editors I've dealt with, nature is something alien." says Mr. Winkler. "If they publish nature-oriented writing at all, it's either environmental reporting that is often alarmist and invariably says little about the essential relationship between humans and nature; news about controversial or 'sexy' animals, like wolves or grizzlies; thinly veiled promotional copy about so-called ecotouring and adventure travel; or storytelling by 'name' writers. I've found that readers are better informed about nature than editors, so rather than let hype-driven, nature-indifferent middlemen tamper with my work, I decided to go direct."

Mr. Winkler is no frustrated amateur. He has been a photography columnist for Travel & Leisure magazine and a contributing outdoors columnist for The New York Times. He has scores of publication credits, including USA Today, Reader's Digest, and Salon. As a freelance copywriter and creative consultant, he has created successful print and electronic campaigns for more than 50 corporate clients.

In a departure from the nature-writing mainstream's penchant for remoteness, Mr. Winkler's writing speaks personally to the general reader about encounters he has with birds and other wildlife on walks close to his home in a Connecticut suburb 70 miles from New York City.

Mr. Winkler began to explore Web publishing three months ago, after working a "nowhere gig" at an online encyclopedia. An offer of free Web-site hosting from his internet service provider spurred him into action.

"I felt I had to do something with this free site, so I posted a few columns and provided links to columns I've written for other sites," he says. "My site has grown steadily ever since. The response has been better than I ever got writing for print publications."

Not only does Mr. Winkler do the writing; he also designed the site, codes the HTML, and finds the illustrations, which draw upon his own photographs; public-domain bird paintings by John James Audubon, Louis Agassiz Fuertes, and Alexander Wilson; and works by contemporary artists. So far, there are columns about raptors, warblers, bird songs, migration, a woodland waterfall, and the loss of a farm to development. Future sections will cover nature news, books, links, and quotations.

According to Mr. Winkler, the online medium is particularly well suited to recounting episodes in the life of a peregrine writer. Those so inclined can, at the click of a mouse, follow him around the fragmented suburban wilderness by visiting Robert Winkler - Nature Writing at http://pages. cthome. net/rwinkler (http://pages. cthome. net/rwinkler).

TV/RADIO PERSONALITY AND HIP-HOP ENTREPRENEUR/COMMUNITY ACTIVIST TACKLE GLOBAL EPIDEMIC BY SUPPORTING HIV/AIDS TESTING INITIATIVES

TV/RADIO PERSONALITY AND HIP-HOP ENTREPRENEUR/COMMUNITY ACTIVIST TACKLE GLOBAL EPIDEMIC BY SUPPORTING HIV/AIDS TESTING INITIATIVES

Russell Simmons hosted & Egypt emceed HIV/AIDS kick-off event in Harlem sponsored by Abbott Virology

New York, NY (PRWEB) July 10, 2003

Recently, TV/radio do-it-all, Egypt, and super-successful entrepreneur, Russell Simmons, were both featured participants at Abbott VirologyÂs official reception and kick-off rally, in honor of National HIV/AIDS Testing Day (which is today). The event was hosted by Russell Simmons and emceed by Egypt, and took place at the Studio Museum of Harlem, 144 W. 125th St. A number of medical professionals who specialize in HIV/AIDS care and research were also on-hand to take part in the eveningÂs festivities.

Russell Simmons has consistently supported national HIV/AIDS awareness efforts through his RUSH Philanthropic Foundation. The mission of spreading HIV/AIDS awareness is one that Egypt is also quite passionate about. SheÂs featured in an amusing, yet very serious new national television commercial aimed at creating awareness about STD (sexually transmitted disease) prevention. The spot is sponsored by the Kaiser Family Foundation in conjunction with Rap-It-Up, and airs nationally on BET. In addition, for the past two years sheÂs lead a sizeable team of her dedicated radio listeners in the NYÂs annual 6-mile AIDS Walk. In fact, with more than 500 registered members, this year EgyptÂs team (ÂTEAM WBLSÂ) was the 3rd largest organized team among the 45,000 NY AIDS Walk participants.

ÂIt was such an honor for me to participate in the HIV/AIDS awareness event that Abbott Virology & Russell Simmons put together. One out of every three people with HIV doesnÂt even know they have it. I feel it is absolutely necessary for all people to be tested for this stifling disease. I am personally dedicated to using every media resource I have to letting people know how critical HIV/AIDS testing and prevention is,Â remarked Egypt.

For more than a century, Abbott Laboratories has been working to advance health care for people around the world. Founded by a young Chicago physician, Dr. Wallace Calvin Abbott, in 1888, Abbott Laboratories has evolved into a diversified health care company that discovers, develops, manufactures and markets innovative products and services that span the continuum of care Â from prevention and diagnosis to treatment and cure. Headquartered in north suburban Chicago, Abbott helps people around the world in the more than 130 countries. Building leadership and combining strengths in the areas of pharmaceuticals, nutritionals, hospital products and diagnostics has enabled Abbott to provide total, integrated solutions across the health care spectrum for some of the worldÂs most prevalent medical conditions, including AIDS, cancer and diabetes.

As a popular radio personality, on New YorkÂs legendary 107.5 WBLS-FM radio station, Egypt is far from your typical radio or television talent. With a schedule that includes hosting & self-producing a top-rated radio show 4 hours a day-5 days a week, hosting for ÂBKÂs The HeatÂ, a daily entertainment feature sponsored by Burger King on BET, as well as making weekly public appearances nationwide, itÂs easy to see why Egypt is becoming a sought after name in the entertainment industry.

The Philadelphia native and aspiring actress recently had a lead role in a dramatic short film entitled, Â29Â and is currently being considered for roles in upcoming feature films. Egypt is a former member of the City Kids Repertoire Company, in New York City, where Lauryn Hill, Tisha Campbell, Malik Yoba and Lisa Nicole Carson also began. In 2001, Egypt garnered even more national attention as the Co-Host of UPNÂs ÂThe Source Sound LabÂ next to the Co-star of Moesha, Ray J. Additionally, Egypt starred in her own TV and radio commercial the national Chrysler PT Cruiser multi-media campaign that also featured gospel great Fred Hammond and R&B group NEXT. She began her national television hosting career as one of BETÂs favorite guest-hosts for shows like Planet Groove, Rap City and BET Live. Egypt studied at NYU before graduating from Temple University with a Bachelors of Arts degree in Broadcasting, Telecommunications and Mass Media.

Regus Expands Global Telepresence Reach with Cable&Wireless Worldwide and Polycom

Regus hits key milestone with openings of its immersive telepresence suites in Tokyo, Sydney and Hong Kong

Tokyo, Sydney and Hong Kong (PRWEB) April 1, 2010

With the second in a series of launches across the globe, today Regus opens three brand-new immersive telepresence suites - in Tokyo, Sydney and Hong Kong – based on Cable&Wireless Worldwide’s Managed Video Conferencing (MVC) solution, using telepresence solutions from Polycom, Inc. (Nasdaq: PLCM).

With the increasing pressure to cut travel spending, increase productivity and reduce environmental damage, Regus’ telepresence (TP) offering will help its customers stay connected and provide them with ultimate flexibility for their business operations - key in today’s globalised business world.

The facilities are part of C&W Worldwide and Regus’ joint initiative to implement market-leading high-definition telepresence suites at Regus' premier global business centres using Cable&Wireless Worldwide’s Managed Video Conferencing (MVC) solution, announced in April of last year. Cable&Wireless Worldwide selected Polycom to provide the Polycom RealPresence Experience (RPX) immersive telepresence suites for the Regus centres.

"We are redefining the world of work, offering business of all sizes flexible, innovative and inspiring locations in which to meet, work and collaborate," said Filippo Sarti, CEO Regus Asia Pacific.

"They can connect with Regus facilities, their own offices or with their customers, vendors and partners anywhere in the world via telepresence.

Regus has chosen to run its telepresence suites over our global Multi Service Platform (MSP) which makes these issues a thing of the past,” said name, title, EMEA, Cable&Wireless. “Regus is opening up multimedia conferencing across that network to the whole world, transforming the way that new customers carry out meetings and giving existing video users the opportunity to expand their footprint without the need for significant investment."

Many U. S. Baby Boomers Interested in Leveraging the Internet For Business and Pleasure But Reluctant to Launch a Web Site

2011-07-20T17:55:00.000-07:00

Many U. S. Baby Boomers Interested in Leveraging the Internet For Business and Pleasure But Reluctant to Launch a Web Site

Register. com, Inc., a leading provider of global domain name registration and Web business services, today announced its survey results on Baby Boomers and retirement. The national survey, conducted by Harris Interactive®, found that many (61%) Baby Boomers (those ages 42 to 60) who do not currently have a Web site say they would consider launching one for some purpose, including to make money, as a hobby or pastime, or to keep in touch with friends and family. However, the survey results suggest that there are several barriers that may be keeping many Baby Boomers who do not have and don’t plan to launch their own Web site (71% of all Baby Boomers) from doing so.

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 13, 2006

The following further suggests the level of interest Baby Boomers have in creating their own Web site:

Among U. S. Baby Boomers who do not currently have a Web site…

 34% would consider launching a Web site to make money

 24% would consider launching a Web site as a hobby or pastime

 24% would consider launching a Web site to keep in touch with family and friends

Despite the interest many Baby Boomers express in launching a Web site, the survey results suggest that some Baby Boomers who do not have and are not planning to launch their own Web site are apprehensive that such endeavors are too expensive and complicated. Baby Boomers who do not presently have and are not planning to launch their own Web site said particular factors would make them more likely to consider doing so. Not surprisingly, saving time and money are at the top of the list.

Among Baby Boomers who do not have and are not planning to launch their own Web site…

 27% say they would be more likely to consider launching a Web site if it were less expensive

 27% say they would be more likely to consider launching a Web site if it were less complicated

 23% say they would be more likely to consider launching a Web site if it were less time-consuming to manage

Partnering with Register. com provides Baby Boomers a wealth of Web site building tools that meet the above criteria, all of which include Register. com's award-winning customer service, 24/7, 365 days a year. Register. com’s template-based WebSiteNOW!™ Web site building tool is easy to use and affordable. Customers who prefer not to build their own site can select Register. com’s Build-It-For-Me™ offering and a team of Web experts will partner with them to create a customized Web site with unique graphics, logos, images and tailored content.

“This study suggests that many Baby Boomers have the desire to leverage the Web and create an online presence for business and pleasure,” said Monica Hodges, general manager of Retail for Register. com. “Register. com has the Web site tools this audience needs to take plans for a Web site to the next level. Not only do we provide the services, but we pride ourselves on holding the customer’s hand throughout the entire registration, Web site design and hosting process.”

Hodges continued, “With these excellent options, Baby Boomers no longer have to spend thousands of dollars on professional design and development and can launch a Web site quickly and easily.”

Details about Register. com’s small business offerings can be found at www. register. com or by calling toll-free 888.734.4783

Survey Methodology

Harris Interactive® fielded the online survey on behalf of Register. com between February 10 and 14, 2006 among a nationwide sample of 688 U. S. Baby Boomers (adults ages 42 to 60). The data resulting from questions not related to the Internet or to online behavior have been weighted to be representative of the total U. S. adult population on the basis of region, age within gender, education, household income, race/ethnicity and propensity to be online. The data from questions related to the Internet or related to online behavior have been weighted to reflect the total U. S. adult online population on the basis of region, age within gender, education, household income and race/ethnicity. Data from these questions were NOT propensity weighted. In theory, with probability samples of this size, one could say with 95% certainty that the overall results have a sampling error of plus or minus 7 percentage points. Sampling error for the sub-samples of those who do not currently have a web site (575) and those who do not currently have a web site and do not plan on launching one (508) is higher and varies. This online sample is not a probability sample.

Intermedia. NET Offers World's First Exchange 2007 Outsourcing Solution for Mid-sized Companies

Intermedia. NET Offers World's First Exchange 2007 Outsourcing Solution for Mid-sized Companies

Leader in hosted Microsoft Exchange launches Exchange outsourcing for companies with over 100 employees, allowing midmarket companies to adopt Exchange 2007, without the high costs of an in-house deployment.

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 2, 2007

New York, April 2, 2007 -- Intermedia. NET, the global leader in Microsoft Exchange hosting (http://www. intermedia. net/it-professionals/hosted-exchange/hosted-exchange. asp), has launched the world's first Microsoft Exchange 2007 outsourcing service for midsized companies. The Intermedia. NET solution allows midmarket companies to adopt Exchange 2007, without the high costs of an in-house deployment.

Industry analysts say that 80% of midmarket companies will benefit if they outsource Microsoft Exchange, and Intermedia. NET calculates that a typical midsized company will save over $100,000 dollars by avoiding an in-house deployment. Because Exchange 2007 demands the latest, most expensive hardware with full redundancy, as well as requiring that Outlook 2007 be purchased separately, outsourcing becomes especially attractive.

"Intermedia. NET is proud to be the world's first company allowing enterprises to outsource Exchange 2007," said Serguei Sofinski, Intermedia. NET CEO. "Running on an enterprise-grade platform with EMC storage, any midsized company looking at Exchange 2007 can now consider outsourcing instead of a costly on-premise deployment. With Exchange 2007, the business case for a hosted solution is an extremely strong one."

Customers of Intermedia. NET have a choice of either Enterprise plans - clustered, SAN-based Exchange solutions - or Custom Enterprise plans, which offer dedicated Exchange servers for their organizations. Costs start at $1295 per month for 100 users.

In recent years, a huge number of companies have seen major savings after outsourcing Microsoft Exchange, because hosted Exchange (http://www. intermedia. net/it-professionals/hosted-exchange/hosted-exchange. asp) services remove the hidden costs of ongoing maintenance, as well as the high upfront costs of purchasing and deploying the solution. Beyond the cost factor, many companies choose to outsource their mission-critical messaging system for added benefits including Fortune 500 reliability, the integration of wireless access (BlackBerry, ActiveSync and Good Mobile), advanced anti-spam and compliance options.

The most costly upfront expenses with an in-house Exchange solution include multiple 64-bit servers, Exchange 2007 server licenses, and end user licenses for Exchange 2007, Outlook 2007 and Windows Server 2003, for each employee. Most midmarket companies who deploy an in-house Exchange environment also employ a salaried Exchange administrator to manage the solution. Intermedia. NET's hosted Exchange solution for midmarket companies manages the entire environment and includes all hardware and licenses within the monthly price of the hosted service.

Intermedia. NET is a Microsoft Gold Certified partner, and companies looking for hosting services know that Intermedia. NET will provide unparalleled uptime, the absolute best in 24x7 support, as well as technical knowledge of the highest level.

About Intermedia. NET
Intermedia. NET is the worldwide leader in Exchange hosting and Web hosting for small and medium businesses. A Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, we are committed to best-in-class 24x7 service. With three locations around the world, Intermedia. NET offers its growing customer base an outstanding technical team, guaranteed service levels, and ease of management through its unmatched HostPilot® Control Panel.

Top Web Hosting Provider Acquires Philadelphia-Based NWAHosting

2011-07-05T16:30:00.000-07:00

Top Web Hosting Provider Acquires Philadelphia-Based NWAHosting

In its continuing quest to become an enterprise-level carrier, Fat Jack Hosting has acquired Philadelphia-based NWAPosting. This acquisition gives Fat Jack its fourth point of presence in the United States alone, catapulting the company from a small Web host to a medium-sized Web hosting provider.

Suwanee, GA (PRWEB) December 9, 2007

The "top 10 fastest growing Web company (http://www. prweb. com/releases/top10/hosting/prweb553676.htm)" is at it again. Fat Jack Hosting has just added another mark on the growth chart by acquiring NWAHosting. NWAHosting's Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, home base gives Fat Jack its fourth point of presence in the United States alone. As such, the acquisition further positions Fat Jack Hosting in its quest to achieve enterprise-level-carrier status. Web site owners who would like to see how the consistently growing and expanding Fat Jack Hosting can ramp up their Web hosting experience can do so online at http://www. fatjackhosting. com/ (http://www. fatjackhosting. com/).

From its data center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, NWAHosting has been delivering quality Web hosting service at affordable prices to its global client base since it launched in August 2005. The company's comprehensive, integrated and secure infrastructure provides its customers with a feature-rich Web hosting experience. With its personalized attention to a worldwide audience, NWAHosting's business focus and philosophy perfectly aligns with Fat Jack Hosting's.

An expanded client base is the obvious benefit Fat Jack Hosting will reap from the merger, but Fat Jack spokesperson, Nicole Silverstone, believes the NWAHosting acquisition will provide both companies' clientele with a "host" of benefits as well. "We will now be working with a live model of an alternative virtualization (http://www. fatjackhosting. com) system without having to experiment on our existing client base. By moving to an open source alternative, we have the potential to acquire the information we need to reduce license costs," she explains. "Those cost savings can then be passed on to our loyal customers.

In addition, the NWAHosting (http://www. nwahosting. com) takeover will provide Fat Jack Hosting clients with access to an expanded array of knowledge base articles, increased traffic from alternative sources and a newly added directadmin offering to the Web host's panel lineup. At the same time, it will significantly increase Fat Jack's ability to serve its virtualization products at a lower price point.

Silverstone has this to say about the acquisition: "This now brings us up to four points of presence in the USA alone, giving us a differentiating edge over small Web hosting (http://www. fatjackhosting. com) companies. Our entry into medium Web host territory is what will allow us to eventually mature into an enterprise-level carrier."

For more information on Fat Jack Hosting's acquisition of NWAHosting, contact Stephanie Bunn at 770-497-4188. To see how Fat Jack's entry into medium-level Web host can take the Web hosting experience to a whole new level, visit the company online at http://www. fatjackhosting. com/ (http://www. fatjackhosting. com/).

SMARTS Group Signs $1.5m deal with Macquarie Hosting for ASIC

Agreement to host financial markets monitoring software for ASIC’s stock market monitoring

(PRWEB) May 4, 2010

Macquarie Hosting, a division of Macquarie Telecom, today announced it has signed a $1.5 million two year deal with SMARTS Group to host its financial market monitoring software for the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).

As part of the agreement, Macquarie hosting will provide an end-to-end, full dual site, DSD and PCI compliant hosting service to ASIC through SMARTS Group. The real-time dual sites will be hosted within Macquarie Hosting’s government approved secure data centers.

The agreement follows the Federal Government’s decision in 2009 to assign responsibility for market surveillance to ASIC and ASIC recently contracting with the SMARTS Group to provide the services. Macquarie Hosting was able to meet ASIC’s timeframe, with the switchover due to take place in Q3 2010. Last month, ASIC announced it was using the SMARTS Group system for financial markets monitoring. The SMARTS Integrity platform detects prohibited trading behaviour including market manipulation and insider trading.

Hosted on VMware vSphere4 with a production environment of over 50 virtual servers, Macquarie Hosting ensured SMARTS Group had its test site up and running within a week and a half of signing the contract. The private cloud testing environment enabled SMARTS Group to test its software whilst its full production environment was being built.

“Macquarie Hosting was able to successfully prove to the SMARTS Group that it could meet accredited government security requirements, provide end-to-end audit capabilities and assurance of business continuity” said Dr Andreas Furche, CEO, SMARTS Group.

Commenting on the agreement, Macquarie Telecom’s managing director for Hosting, Aidan Tudehope said: “SMARTS Group selected Macquarie Hosting for its expertise in managed server hosting for mission critical applications. The quality of our offering ensures we provide the highest level of security certification meeting strict government including ASIC requirements. Macquarie Telecom is an expert in this area, and meets the rigorous and ever changing requirements of DSD Accreditation to their full certification”.

The SMARTS Integrity Platform is an integrated system that is installed at exchanges, trading venues and market regulators to monitor orders, trades and quotes, identifying market violations including market manipulation and insider trading. The platform takes a real-time data feed directly from the relevant trading engine, and processes it in real-time, automatically detecting anomalies and producing alerts.

SMARTS is the global leader in market surveillance systems which delivers its surveillance solutions to over 30 national exchange and regulator customers across more than 30 countries.

WiderWeb the Web Site Accessibility Service Now Available For Immediate Webmaster and ISP Deployments

2011-06-09T20:39:00.000-07:00

WiderWeb the Web Site Accessibility Service Now Available For Immediate Webmaster and ISP Deployments

WiderWeb is a managed service enabling web site accessibility automatically and immediately for web site owners. Web masters who sign up for the service may route page requests through WiderWeb to deliver an accessible version of their actual site, transcoded in real time. This enables web sites to quickly and easily provide accessibility meeting both user demand and legislative requirements.

(PRWEB) October 13, 2004

What is the problem?

The UK's Disability Discrimination Act requires that all web sites be made accessible to people with disabilities, for which the W3C standards body has issued clear deployment guidelines. Unfortunately these are as yet poorly understood and costly to implement so compliance has been historically poor. To ease this problem the WiderWeb web accessibility service has been developed.

How does WiderWeb work?

WiderWeb works by web site owners placing a link for easy access on the home page, directing page requests through WiderWeb. WiderWeb then requests a page on the users behalf and translates it into an accessible version before delivering the page back to the user. Subsequent page requests in the session are then automatically directed through the gateway.

How do I sign up?

A simple monthly fee enables web sites to be enabled on WiderWeb. We offer a range of packages to suit both large and small companies, from a single site through to a large group of sites.

What if I'm a Web Host provider?

With WiderWeb accessibility can now be aided by the web hosting industry itself. Moore Innovations can provide a version of WiderWeb to be run by web hosting companies themselves, setup is simple and administration can then be completely automated.

Selling Information on the Internet

2011-05-25T20:50:00.000-07:00

Selling Information on the Internet

This articles discusses the action plan for starting an online business.

(PRWEB) February 19, 2006

By far the hottest money making trend on the Internet is selling knowledge in the form of e-books including digital audio and video. Most people use the Internet to do research, gather business intelligence, find fun things to do, indulge their hobbies or as a medium for the exchange of information via e-mail. The idea behind this new business model is to leverage this insatiable hunger for information on the web by creating and selling digital information for profit. Think of this in terms of owning an asset that you can sell to earn recurring revenue without the large capital outlay required for building your own manufacturing plant.

What are Information Products? For the purpose of this article information products can be classified into three:

1.eBooks - eBooks are electronic books you can read on your computer or your MP4 player or print out if you prefer hard copies. eBooks are instantly delivered electronically via a simple download from the Internet to the customer.

2.Audio – You can record your information using freely available software and a microphone. Audio CDs are now being delivered instantly via digital download to the customer.

3.Video – They say a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is even more powerful. Contrary to popular belief creating a video product is not difficult. Digital video cameras and the necessary software are readily available. Most video cameras now come with full instructions and the software to get this done. A well-planned video presentation may be what is needed to reach your audience.

Why Information Products?

There are several reasons why this business model has become very attractive to many aspiring entrepreneurs:

1.Low cost entry. The cost for entry is small, you can create your products, build a website, pay your hosting fees plus acquire the tools to start an effective e-mail campaign for under $500. There is probably no other business with this much potential that you can start for so little money.

2.Easy to Create. Once you have gone through the process of creating your first product, the process becomes second nature to you. You can create as many products as you wish to enable you build multiple sources of income. The technology to do this is available in the form of e-Book creation software. These specialized software will help you automate the entire process including packaging and distribution.

3.Unlimited Inventory. Once you have created a successful product, it becomes an asset that you own and control. There are no more production costs and the inventory is unlimited. You do not need to purchase additional inventory because you now own a product that cannot be depleted. Your job is to continue to market and promote your product for as long as there is demand for it.

4.No shipping and handling required. Your product is delivered automatically without any human intervention. No lost packages, no stamps and no delivery costs. The computer handles all chores and tracks the delivery of your product to your customers.

5.Immediate Payment: No receivables, thank you. Product is delivered automatically once payment is made.

6.You can work from home no long commutes necessary.

How do I get started?

Is this a quick path to riches? The answer is no. No one can promise you instant profits without work. You have to do your research on the Internet to identify the products you can sell and put together a plan of action. There are good Internet marketing companies that will literally guide you step by step if you do not want to do most of the work yourself. A question that I am often asked is how can I create useful content, I have no expertise? In my next article I will show you where to go to find paid talent to write and develop your content for you. For now let us look at a plan of action to get you started.

Action Plan

1.Build a list of 10 ideas that incorporate your areas of expertise, interests or hobbies. Example, Investing in the Financial Market, Day Trading, etc.

2.Create a list of 100 –500 keywords related to your interests, hobbies or areas of expertise. Example (currency trading, FX signals, forex training, investment strategy, trading S&P 500, emini trading, options strategy, stock trading, IRA, retirement planning, etc).

3.Now go to Yahoo Marketing (formally known as Overture) or Google AdWord and research these keywords. You want to find out how many people are looking for information using these keywords. You want a niche, so narrow down the keywords to find a sizable target group. Avoid general keywords that produce too many hits, the market is too large for you to compete in.

4.Using the results from this effort, define problems and solutions based on what people are looking for on the Internet.

5.Create or find an existing product that will address the needs that you have identified from your research.

6.Register your domain name, create a website and setup a Paypal account to handle your transactions. This is easier than it sounds. All the resources you need to accomplish this are on the web. Most good web hosting companies will provide you all the tools you need to do this yourself. You must have a website to succeed in this business, do not shortcut this step.

7.Depending on your product, eBay may complement your website. You can setup as a seller on eBay relatively easily.

8.Write a good sales letter describing your product and your unique selling proposition. Use testimonials and reduce the risk for the buyer by offering a money back guarantee.

9.Finally, believe in your plan and work your plan.

The business of selling information on the Internet is alive and well. With some research and a little bit of hard work you can create multiple streams of income by selling your products online.

Another way to get started in this business is to find someone or a company that has successfully done this and use their help to fast track your entry.

Leading Dental Marketing Program Announces Online Dental Marketing for Dentists Training

2011-05-18T04:22:00.000-07:00

Leading Dental Marketing Program Announces Online Dental Marketing for Dentists Training

Online Method to Attract Dental Patients to be Held on November 1st, 2008.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) October 20, 2008

For dentists seeking to understand how to market for dental implant and reconstructive patients and gain case acceptance on complex case patients needing dental implants, full mouth reconstruction, and cosmetic dentistry, the end of the calendar year and current recession present enormous challenges.

From Thanksgiving until after the New Year's holiday, patients typically aren't interested in thinking about having dentistry completed. Dr. James McAnally, CEO of Big Case Marketing, a global leader in teaching marketing for dentists, dental marketing for the dental office, and dental case presentations for large cases states that Big Case Marketing has developed new strategies that motivate patients in the Thanksgiving-New Year's window to counteract the holiday and current recession's effects.

To help successful dentists stay successful, Big Case Marketing announced last Monday that it was hosting an online dental marketing and case acceptance forum for November 7th during which doctors can log-in and learn the critical concepts that create these cases in their practices and the psychology behind the sales process for gaining case acceptance.

Says McAnally, "This is the first time such an event will have been held in an online format covering these types of details and quite literally the secrets that so few in the profession are aware of when it comes to this type of dentistry. Doctors in our Programs at Big Case Marketing have a decided advantage over all their peers in their local area due to this same information."

Normally, dentists have to travel and take time away from their practice to attend this type of presentation but due to internet technology, no travel time, travel cost, or cost of lost time is involved.

In addition, to the live November 7th event, the presentation will be available by replay in every time zone for until December 6th.

Dentists interested in applying for the event can find out more at www. bigcasemarketing. com or email info @ bigcasemarketing. com

Podcast Reveals There is More Ireland than St. Patrick, Guinness and Blarney

2011-05-10T15:02:00.000-07:00

Podcast Reveals There is More Ireland than St. Patrick, Guinness and Blarney

The Irish Fireside podcast explores Irish travel, Irish customs and all things Irish by providing listeners with a closer look at some of Ireland's most popular tourist attractions and suggesting some off-the-beaten-path destinations nearby.

Milwaukee, WI (PRWEB) March 11, 2006

Podcast hosts Liam Hughes and Corey Taratuta have seen their share of green beer and "kiss me; I'm Irish" paraphernalia, but the hosts of the Irish Fireside podcast are spending this St. Patrick's Day letting their listeners know there is an entire side of Ireland that the tour buses miss and Irish-American pubs never quite capture. Their podcast (http://www. irishfireside. com (http://www. irishfireside. com)) has just been released and is available to listeners from iTunes or directly from the Irish Fireside website.

Their internet-based show explores Irish travel, Irish customs and all things Irish by providing listeners with a closer look at some of Ireland's most popular tourist attractions and suggesting some off-the-beaten-path destinations nearby. In addition to travel tips, each episode includes a recipe from their collection of "food from the fireside" and closes with an Irish song. Each show is supported by an episode guide that includes additional information, maps and related links.

"So many people think of Ireland as kissing the Blarney stone, Waterford Crystal and a lot of rolling green hills. Well…they're probably right about the rolling green hills, but there's so much more to Ireland," said Irish Fireside host Liam Hughes.

His co-host Corey Taratuta ads, "Funny thing is, we thought people would subscribe to the podcast for our tips and suggestions for out of the way places in Ireland, but more people are thanking us for adding the recipes and Irish songs. I guess that's what makes us unique."

To listen to the Irish Fireside podcast, visit http;//www. irishfireside. com.

Host Bios

Raised on scones and tea in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Liam Hughes has been traveling to Ireland since his youth. After years of visiting family in County Tipperary, he purchased a cottage "down the road" from his relatives and proceeded to spend the next twenty years converting his derelict property into the cottage of his dreams.

Now, Liam spends his summers on the Emerald Isle offering his cottage as a guesthouse and sharing his services as a tour guide. When not traveling, he creates jewelry from shards of broken and discarded china in his Milwaukee studio. You can visit Liam's cottage at www. knockahopple. com.

Corey Taratuta first became interested in international travel at the age of seven when his family began hosting exchange students in his hometown of Posen, Michigan. After six exchange "brothers" and "sisters" from six different countries, Corey had caught the travel bug and never even left North America.

While living in Australia, his frustration with poorly designed tour books led him to put his graphic design training to work and start creating his own walking tours and itineraries. His ten-plus years of travel to Ireland made it the natural place for him to experiment with his new passion.

In 2004, Liam and Corey teamed up to create their first itinerary packet for a client. A year later Liam shared his expertise in creating Corey's Walking Kilkenny tour, and in February 2006 the duo launched their first Irish Fireside podcast.

'Bringing Cinema 2 Kids' has First Event and is a Success for Both Filmmaker and Students

2011-04-17T17:35:00.000-07:00

'Bringing Cinema 2 Kids' has First Event and is a Success for Both Filmmaker and Students

When the room of about 50 inner city high school kids broke out in laughter at about 45 seconds into her movie, independent filmmaker Sabina Shamdasani knew this was going to be a special screening. Bringing inspiration, motivation and insight, Shamdasani partnered with After-School All-Stars, Los Angeles as part of her ‘Bringing Cinema 2 Kids’ program. This program started a few weeks ago when Shamdasani decided to embark on a journey to inspire the next generation by hosting screenings of her short film "Dada Ji," a family comedy that has seen a life at film festivals such as LA Shorts Fest, San Diego Children’s Film Festival, and the Damah Spirituality Film Festival. Her first event came on October 21, 2010.

Los Angeles, CA (Vocus) November 2, 2010

It was a crisp, cool October evening when up and coming filmmaker Sabina Shamdasani entered the courtyard of Gertz-Ressler High School in downtown Los Angeles. Nestled in her arms like a newborn baby, she carried a box containing about 75 DVDs of her short film ‘Dada Ji’ and one small blue and orange foam ball. She was led into a rowdy classroom of students, unsure of what to expect.

This independent filmmaker was on a mission, one that was to bring inspiration to local youth and show them they can follow their dreams as part of her ‘Bringing Cinema 2 Kids' program. With her short film “Dada Ji”, which she co-wrote, produced and directed along with a partnership with After-School All-Stars, Los Angeles (ASAS-LA), over 50 youth, on October 21, learned to block out their doubts and start thinking, ‘what if I can?’.

As Shamdasani rested her box of DVDs on a table, she began introducing herself to the students. After a failed attempt at getting the attention of the room, she took out the ball and declared to the students, if she threw them the ball, they would have to stand up and tell the room what their biggest dreams were.

Immediately, before Shamdasani could even finish her sentence, a hand went up in the back of the room. The student stood up and announced to the class that his name was Anthony and that he was black. His comment was followed by giggles and sneers around the room but soon he proclaimed he wanted to be a football player.

And around the room the ball went. One by one, students stood up and called out a host of different ambitions - athletes, broadcast journalist, pilot, actress, one student even stated he wanted to help his parents be able to retire.

Now that Shamdasani had their attention, it now seemed she might be able to get her message out there. She told the class that she wanted to tell them a secret. With all eyes on her, she explained to the students that everyone who has a dream has a voice in their head that says what if I can’t, but only the people that achieve their dream are able to say, what if I can?

“Whether your goal is to make films or own a business, there will always be challenges. But it doesn’t mean you stop dreaming, and it certainly doesn’t mean you stop trying to pursue your dreams. I wanted to share my story with the kids,” said Shamdasani.

Then, the movie started playing. Laughter and excitement filled the air just barely into the opening scene.

Following the screening, she recalls her own journey of making 'Dada Ji' to the students. She shares that what she thought would be the hardest part, actually turned out to be relatively simple. The idea for "Dada Ji" came after she saw the actor Kumar Pallana in ‘The Terminal,’ a movie directed by Steven Spielberg. She told the class, he was who she wanted to make a movie for and explained she had no idea where to start.

“My goal was to get the students to overcome what may stop them from realizing their dreams; the doubts in their own mind,” said Shamdasani. “Had I listened to the voice in my head that said ‘this guy worked with Spielberg, and you’re just a student’, I would have never tried to make this film.”

The short film "Dada Ji" is the story about an elderly east-Indian man (played by the lovable Kumar Pallana), who moves in with his daughter and her multi-cultural family after his own wife passes away. What ensues is a humorous and heartwarming tale about love, loss, and forgiveness.

The filmmaker especially wanted to share her story with the students of ASAS-LA. The school caters to primarily inner-city youth, located in a part of Los Angeles where violence and crime are prevalent. ASAS-LA provides comprehensive after school programs that are fun for kids and also keep them safe and help them achieve success in school and life who's mission is to help kids succeed in school and in life.

“The kids here need support from the community. They need people around them encouraging them and supporting them, telling them they can do anything they wish to do,” said Shamdasani.

As the screening ended and the credits rolled, Anthony put his hands in the air and started snapping his fingers, followed by the rest of the class. One of the coordinators let Shamdasani know this meant they were “giving her props”. While the students asked questions about the movie-making process, the DVDs went around the room, one for each child.

“I want each of you to get a copy of the movie - take it home with you - it’s the physical proof that a goal comes with challenges, but it is achievable. You’re holding the evidence in your hand.” said Shamdasani as she ended her presentation.

About Sabina Shamdasani:

Sabina Shamdasani grew up in small community, where a career in the film industry was anything but realistic, even in her own mind. After her film ‘Dada Ji’ had a successful run at the festival circuit, she was inspired to do more with the movie. Setting out on a journey to inspire, Sabina launched a program called ‘Bringing Cinema 2 Kids’ and will be hosting her first event with Los Angeles based After-School All-Stars. Shamdasani hopes by sharing her small town tale and her challenges in getting her film made, she can encourage kids to pursue their dreams no matter the obstacles.

About ASAS-LA:

Founded by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2002, After-School All-Stars, Los Angeles (ASAS-LA) is a leading after-school program provider whose programs educate, enlighten and inspire thousands of middle and high school students each day.

Filipino American Novelist Garners Glowing Review from New York Times Best Selling Author

2011-03-30T10:27:00.000-07:00

Filipino American Novelist Garners Glowing Review from New York Times Best Selling Author

New York Times Best Selling Author, Ellen Tanner Marsh gives a glowing review of award-winning POD Author's second novel "Promising Skies".

Monticello, FL (PRWEB) March 16, 2006

"Go behind the scenes in the extraordinary life of a brilliant singer in Amapola’s semi-autobiographical novel, Promising Skies. Janeera Vivioni grew up in a violent home. Beaten by her father and unprotected by her mother, her only refuge lies in her singing. As soon as she is old enough, she escapes with a man named Tony to launch her singing career. But her plans of making beautiful music with the man she adores quickly sour when Tony proves as brutal as her father was. Now Janeera must find a way to escape him, but can she ever really escape her troubled past?

In moving prose, Amapola takes us from Mexico to Hawaii to the foggy shores of San Francisco as Janeera Vivioni’s star begins to rise. Managers seek to make her the most sought after star in the firmament, but while Janeera is lucky at singing, she continues to be unlucky at love—so much so that she eventually attempts to take her own life. Despite the glamour and the satisfaction of her successful career, she is plagued by a deep yearning she can’t seem to fill, not until a final terrible secret is revealed.

Amapola writes like a dream, showing us the high notes and the low points in a beautiful young singer’s life. Richly atmospheric and full of intriguing insider information, Promising Skies is a smart and moving portrait of a young woman struggling to find her own happiness. The truth might be shattering, but in this brave and endearing novel, it eventually serves to set her free. " (Reviewed by ELLEN TANNER MARSH)

AMAPOLA established herself as an entertainment icon in her country, receiving recognition for her excellence as a television host, recording artist, as a motion picture actress (playing feature and lead roles plus others as a child star, & singing the musical scores for many others), as an instrumentalist (playing 8 musical instruments & excelling as a classic pianist), & as a TV & Radio personality - hosting "Amapola Presents" on KEMO-TV 20 in San Francisco, California.

Included among her US performances to date are headliner appearances at:

The Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco, The Sahara Hotel, Las Vegas, The Union Plaza Hotel, Las Vegas, The Kahala Hilton, Honolulu, Hyatt on Waikiki, Honolulu, Stern Grove, San Francisco, The Town Hall, New York, Waikiki Shell, Honolulu, The Miyako Hotel In Japan Town, Honolulu International Concert Hall, The Grand Hotel, Washington DC, The Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles, among others.

She has toured globally, performing concerts and cabaret at, among others:

The Shangri-La International in Singapore, Manila Hotel in the Philippines, Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, Kahala Hilton in Honolulu, The Hyatt Regency in Bali, The Hong Kong Hilton, The Song Of Flower, Royal Viking Star, Royal Viking Sky, Royal Viking Sea, Royal Viking Sun, The Hanseatic, The Gripsholm, and QE2.

“Promising Skies” is Amapola’s 2nd Novel and is now available online on Amazon. com and Booksurge. com. Soon it will be an available Print on Demand book in your traditional booksellers world-wide.

ToughBoxes. com, A Supplier of Moving Boxes and Supplies, Announces A $300 Home Depot Gift Certificate Sweepstakes

In humble thanks to the incredible popularity of the site, the owner of ToughBoxes. com is hosting a $300 Home Depot gift certificate sweepstakes. Entry is free and lasts from September 3rd, 2006 to November 3rd, 2006.

GREENVILLE, NC (PRWEB) September 5, 2006 –-

ToughBoxes. com is a website that emphasizes low prices, fast & free shipping, and absolute customer satisfaction with their large line of strong moving boxes (http://www. toughboxes. com) and moving supplies.

Starting the first promotion of many, ToughBoxes. com is currently offering a free $300 Home Depot gift certificate sweepstakes. This event is free to enter and runs from September 3rd, 2006 to November 3rd, 2006.

Victor Correro, the founder of ToughBoxes. com states: “Our site has become a popular location to purchase moving boxes and moving supplies (http://www. toughboxes. com). Because of its surprising, and fortunate success, we wanted to give something back to those that visit our site. This sweepstakes is just the start of the many promotions and giveaways that we plan to hold.”

Victor hopes that this promotion, and a little word-of-mouth from loyal customers, will help spread the word that ToughBoxes. com is not only a great place to find moving supplies, but more of a full-service moving center which includes well written articles and guides, and links to other useful and related resources.

ToughBoxes. com was launched by owner, Victor Correro, in early 2006. He understood the backbreaking labor involved in moving (having moved his fair share of overweight boxes), and decided to develop a one-stop destination, to make the lives of those that have to relocate a little bit easier. Having started from a simple one-page site in early 2006, ToughBoxes. com has since been swiftly improving because of a demanding and enterprising plan. Each month proves another addition to the site, additions such as: new how-to articles, moving guides, discussion areas, testimonials, promotions, better usability, better shopping experiences, and even opportunities for those with an entrepreneurial spirit. Built off of hard work, Victor plans to keep briskly moving the business along until the site is number one in the field.

Everything Goes Great When Signing Up with a New Hosting Provider. Until After the Payment is Made

2011-03-10T09:54:00.000-08:00

Everything Goes Great When Signing Up with a New Hosting Provider. Until After the Payment is Made...

With the plethora of fly-by-night web hosting firms sprouting up all over the globe, considerable damage is being done to the hosting industry. Find out about how one company addresses this issue.

(PRWEB) April 5, 2005

Web hosting firms are sprouting up all over the globe. The majority of them are fly-by-night operations, offering packages that just do not make economic sense, and are just out to make a quick dollar. Consequently, several businesses and consumers are being taken for being lured by cheap prices, taken for a ride and then offered shoddy or non-existent customer service.

The consumer then leaves the hosting company to sign up with another "promising" host. This can sometimes be a vicious cycle for the consumers they hop around from one host to another. Consequently, it's no surprise about the reputation that the hosting industry has today.

Enter a company with an excellent attitude. Hatch Technologies was founded in 2002 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. With Dubai rapidly expanding into a world class city and the Middle East's IT hub, the founders of Hatch had no problem in approving the location.

Having experienced some incredibly frustrating times with previous hosts around the globe, the owners decided to setup a company that would bend over backwards for its customers. And Hatch Technologies does just that.

At Hatch, the focus is always on the customer. Though the plans offered by Hatch are reasonably priced, the support and server uptime are exemplary. Consequently, Hatch now serves hundreds of very satisfied clients in the UAE and surrounding Middle East - and plans to become the leading hosting provider in the Middle East.

Through a highly trained sales force and dedicated support staff, Hatch puts your company in a position to take full advantage of all that the Internet has to offer.

And with the added advantage of receiving excellent local support, businesses in the UAE and Middle East are now making the switch from US based hosting companies (where time differences and lack of accountability due to location pose serious problems).

Hatch Technologies allows the consumer to discover what hassle free hosting is really about.

Trickles to Torrents - Rivers of Change in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Formerly unknown, the city of Banja Luka proudly prepares to host the best European extreme sporting event of 2005.

(PRWEB) April 22, 2005

Unification through the medium of sport. Historically proven and best demonstrated through Olympic success, Sarajevo experienced her glory in 1984, drawing international acclaim. Smaller by comparison, nonetheless comparatively significant, the European White Water Championships are coming to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Word spreads quickly, expectations are high, and excitement is flowing as quickly as the wild, crystal-clear waters of the Vrbas River. Leading the charge is Rafting Klub Kanyon president, Aleksandar Pastir, who single-handedly fought tirelessly for nomination and acceptance by the International White Water Rafting Association for hosting responsibilities. ÂTourism is the key to success in this countryÂ claims Aleksandar, ÂWith our beautiful Vrbas River and breathtaking canyons, the world will see how we are the finest undiscovered destination in all of Europe.Â

Committed to preserving nature, Aleksandar has formed a club committed to the safeguarding and protection of the environment around Banja Luka. Working together with Ben Robinson from Eastern Europe holidays he plans to invite white water rafting enthusiasts from afar as Australia. ÂThis is a fantastic opportunity to promote Bosnia and Herzegovina to the world as a safe and fun destinationÂ states Ben, ÂHosting this event can achieve significant positive change for a country that needs it most.Â

The stage is set; the pieces are falling into place. Extreme sports are the adventure tourism opportunities of the future, and Bosnia and Herzegovina caters to all. From negotiating raging rivers to paragliding crisp mountain breezes, from diving to mountain biking. An undiscovered destination; rafting championships; hospitality and history unparalleled. This is a country fast becoming the envy of Europe.

Largest Decline Recorded in Corporate Holiday Parties, According to Amrop Battalia Winston’s 22nd Annual Survey

2011-03-05T03:25:00.000-08:00

Largest Decline Recorded in Corporate Holiday Parties, According to Amrop Battalia Winston’s 22nd Annual Survey

The theme of the party this year? Modesty and employees only.

New York, NY (PRWEB) December 1, 2010

The worst holiday party slump in the past 22 years has been recorded in 2010, with only 79 percent of businesses conducting some type of holiday celebration, according to the annual survey conducted by Amrop Battalia Winston, a leading global executive search firm. This is down from 81 percent in both 2009 and 2008, when the U. S. was in the midst of a recession – and previously represented the lowest number of companies holding holiday parties over the survey’s tenure. For those companies holding celebrations just over a quarter (28 percent) say their parties will be more modest; this is on the heels of the nearly half (49 percent) who downsized in 2009. When it comes to more expensive celebrations, 11 percent of respondents intend to hold more lavish parties, which is up from just one percent in 2009 and two percent in 2008. Leaving 61 percent who said their parties will be at the same level as past years.

Celebrations this year will not be for client or prospect schmoozing. Only five percent of those holding parties intend to invite clients and friends. Over two-thirds (69 percent) will be “employee only,” and a quarter (26 percent) of organizations intend to invite employees and their families to gatherings. This is up from 2006, when only 52 percent of respondents held parties only for employees.

The primary reason cited by respondents not holding a holiday party is not related to budget concerns, but instead to their economic outlook. Over half (55 percent) of respondents not having a party do not think it is appropriate in these economic times, compared to 27 percent who cite that a holiday party just is not within their budget. Conversely, the majority (37 percent) of those having a holiday party cite “to celebrate we had a good 2010” as the primary reason, followed closely by “to boost employee morale” (33 percent) and “to show clients/employees that our company is optimistic about 2011” (29 percent). This is in contrary to previous years; in 2005, 96 percent of companies had the party as a morale builder to staff.

“The Amrop Battalia Winston survey has served as a bellwether for the economy over the past 22 years, and this year is no exception. Between last year and this year, if parties become any more modest there will be no parties; you can only downsize so far,” said Amrop Battalia Winston CEO, Dale Winston. “There remains a deep divide in organizations’ economic outlook and how they perceive their 2010 performance accordingly. Fundamentally, those having holiday parties this year are much more optimistic about the year-ahead, while those not having parties are more pessimistic. While we have seen the lowest number of holiday parties in the survey’s history this year, we anticipate that this is merely a ‘blip on the radar’ and there will be a stronger showing this time next year as the U. S. economy gets a stronger foothold in the recovery.”

These findings are from Amrop Battalia Winston’s Annual Survey on Corporate Holiday Celebrations, a cross-section of 103 of America’s leading businesses. The telephone survey has served as an economic barometer for American businesses since 1989. Other interesting findings from this year’s survey:

Charities lose out big this season: Company involvement in charity events (donating money, food, clothing, gifts and/or volunteering) will be down significantly this holiday season. Less than half (47 percent) of companies will be donating to charities this year (down from 66 percent in 2009, and 74 percent in 2008). Of those participating, the vast majority (79 percent) will be donating funds or items, while only 13 percent will be doing other charitable acts or volunteering time (8 percent).

Companies not skimping on cocktails: While the number of companies serving alcohol increased this year (79 percent), which is up from 73 percent in 2009 and 71 percent in 2008 – it is significantly below the survey high of 90 percent in 2000.

After hours parties increase in popularity: Of those conducting holiday celebrations, 57 percent will be evening affairs, compared to 43 percent taking place at a luncheon (compared to 53 percent and 47 percent respectively in 2009).

Getting out of the office: Over three-quarters (77 percent) of companies will be hosting their parties off-site (up from 67 percent last year) and the remaining 23 percent will be hosting their parties in-office. Three-quarters (76 percent) of those companies holding a party “off-site” will be at a restaurant.

Increased focus on employee morale: The good news is that well over half (58 percent) of all respondents intend to take action to boost employee morale in 2011 – nearly double the number from 2009 (30 percent). Of those that are planning to boost employee morale – the majority of companies polled (31 percent) intend to offer “pay raises,” followed by team building/training (19 percent) and flexible work schedules (18 percent). Only 12 percent have nothing “specific” planned.

2011 planning: As companies make plans for 2011, over half (55 percent) of respondents say they are on track to “grow and hire” next year, and nearly one-third (32 percent) expect their company’s performance will stay the same as 2010. Only 13 percent ‘plan to consolidate’ or don’t anticipate that they will perform as well as this year.

S. member firm of the Amrop group, has been successfully meeting client needs in executive recruitment for over 45 years and is currently ranked as one of the 12 largest executive search firms in the USA.

Rums of the World Unite for Awards and Festival

Rums of the World Unite for Awards and Festival

Fourth Annual "Polished Palate International Rum Festival" highlights spirits' growth and quality including first ever "Best in Show" Award

Tampa, FL (PRWEB) April 22, 2009

The largest and most comprehensive Rum Festival and Rum Competition in the U. S. celebrated its fourth year with its most impressive selection of entries to date, including the first ever 'Best In Show' Award. The series of public and private events was highlighted on Saturday, March 28, where a crowd of more than 700 attendees joined a series of tasting tours and seminars at the main festival event and enjoyed an array of rum styles from around the globe.

The competition, held from March 26-27, at the historic Ritz in Ybor City, featured renowned international judges who sampled, judged and compared 53 (51 sugar-cane based) of the finest rums and other spirits to select this year's honor roll.

Sponsored by multiple award-winning Imbibe Magazine, Rums of Puerto Rico, Empire Winery & Distillery, Domaine de Canton French Ginger Liqueur, Kilo Kai Spiced Rum, Cuca Fresca Cachaca, Teatro on Seventh, Rock-n-Sports Bar & Grille, The Nest, Gaspar's Grotto, Tortuga Rum Cakes, Dr. Cardoo, Carrollwood Wine & Spirits, 80 Proof Generation, Beverage Marketing On Line, A Cork Above, Soho Tampa, Tampa Gold, Mobile Tiki Bar and Rodriguez & Menendez Cigars, the Festival included a formal rum tasting dinner, a "Rum on the BBQ" event and the Main Event, which featured a silent auction benefiting The Sky Ranch Foundation. The auction earned the Foundation just under $2,000 thanks to generous donations from participating brands, sponsors and supporters.

Guests at the Main Event sampled award-winning brands including Bacardi, Kilo Kai, Montecristo, Ron Zacapa, Ron Botran, Diplomatico, Ron Barcelo, Tommy Bahama, Ron del Barrilito, Don Q, Mt. Gay, Cuca Fresca Cachaca, Empire Winery & Distillery's Rum-based Liqueurs, Captain Morgan, Ocucaje Pisco, Blanco Aguardiente, Khukri, Prichards, Domaine de Canton French Ginger Liqueur, Ron Medellin Rum and Antioqueno Aguardiente.

The 8 prominent judges, including rum connoisseurs and editors at top publications and hosted by Jack Robertiello of Drinks Ink, sampled the spirits before selecting Best of Category, Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards and the first ever Rum Competition Best In Show Award. For a brand to receive the Best In Show Award, each of the judges has to present the spirit with a score of 90+. Ron Millonario Solera 15 Reserva Especial from Peru received that honor and can be regarded as the best rum in the world for 2009.

This year's event featured 12 categories including White Rum, Dark Rum, Gold Rum, Rum Aged up to 8 Years, Rum Aged 9-15 Years, Rum Aged 15+ Years, Overproof Rum, Aguardiente, Flavored Rum, Rum Liqueurs, Spiced Rum and an Other category that included Pisco and Grappa. Of special note this year is that 23 of 51 rums were all new to the competition and that Colombia was especially well represented with eight entries. Interestingly, rums from Peru (a country renowned for pisco production as
Opposed to rum) received acclaim from the judges - including the Best of Category (Ron Peruano) for Rums aged up to 8 Years and the Best In Show winner.

The series of seminars on March 28, videocast live by A Cork Above, were particularly well attended and featured essential topics including:

The Basics of Rum Distilling (hosted by Master Distiller Phil Prichard)
A tasting session led by Jack Robertiello where guests learned to score and rate spirits similarly to professional judges
The history, legend and lore of 'demon rum' hosted by author Ian Williams
The history of the Mai Tai & the Daiquiri--as well as featuring and serving his creation, the Gingirinha (Ginger Caipirinha) presented by Cocktail Historian Phil Greene, sponsored by Domaine de Canton French Ginger Liqueur & Cuca Fresca Cachaca

Dori Bryant, President of the Polished Palate said, "It is obvious that rum's star has already risen. The amazing quality and the significant number of new producers joining the competition including those from Peru, Mexico, Africa, Panama and the U. S. bodes well for the industry. This year's events were a great success, and I look forward to 2010."

During the months ahead, features and tasting notes will be presented on the fine brands that participated this year.

Cypress AGENT Award Recipient Strives to Boost Business in Community

2011-02-20T19:54:00.000-08:00

Cypress AGENT Award Recipient Strives to Boost Business in Community

The coveted Small Business of the Year Award (AGENT Award) was presented to Karla Dennis of Cohesive by the city of Cypress, California on Monday. In exchange for the honor, Dennis will be hosting an event to inspire business growth in the community.

Cypress, CA (PRWEB) November 16, 2010

In a city that claims home to over 3,400 companies, including corporate giants like Yamaha Motors and Mary Kay Cosmetics, the small business honor takes on significant prestige. Thus, author, public speaker and national tax expert, Dennis, is taking this responsibility seriously and is determined to attract new business to the area.

“As of October of this year, 158 businesses fled California, triple the number that left last year. The majority of those businesses departed from Los Angeles County due to the brutal taxes and regulations there,” explains Dennis. “However, the solution does not have to be wholesale evacuation from the state. There are hidden jewels like Cypress that welcome businesses. The city has a great attraction and retention program, but private business can also pitch in, greatly enhancing the effort.”

The Mayor and Council are scheduled to visit Dennis and the Cohesive offices to plan both the award ceremony at the mayor’s State of the City address in January, as well as craft details for the event. Dennis and the city believe a high powered combination of city services offered backed by local businesses providing encouragement and additional networking and assistance will create a unique synergy to boost the civic and business community to greater prosperity.

“Helping the city, whose council and mayor are local business people creates a business positive atmosphere that builds up all of us,” said Dennis. “This is more than an honor, it is a responsibility. Cohesive and I must now make the city proud that they provided this tribute. Part of that is going beyond our superb tax strategy planning and bookkeeping work to provide the business and local community with the motivation and inspiration to improve our lot in life.”

The official name of the Cypress Small Business of the Year Award is the AGENT Award, standing for Assist, Grow, Educate, Network, and Thrive. It appears in Karla Dennis and Cohesive the city made a perfect choice; a small business that aims to provide a far larger impact than a trophy might indicate.

Karla Dennis is a national taxation expert, author and speaker. Her newest book “Tax Storm” premiers December 10th. She is the founder and CEO of Cohesive, a comprehensive tax strategy and bookkeeping firm in Cypress, CA. For more information about Karla Dennis and Cohesive visit http://www. CohesiveTax. com.

HEADLINE: FusionServe. com Officially Launches as Singapore's Cheapest Domain Name Registration Service

2011-02-13T21:31:00.000-08:00

HEADLINE: FusionServe. com Officially Launches as Singapore's Cheapest Domain Name Registration Service

Singapore, (PRWEB) July 6, 2000 -

Launched service of ONEfusion Pte Ltd, announced today that it will officially begin sales of its budget-line domain name registration services. Fusionserve. com is the domain name solutions arm of ONEfusion Pte Ltd which focuses on wholesale reliable bulk domain name registration with a standard pricing of SG$32 (US$18).

Included in the basic domain registration package priced at SG$32 (US$18) is a free web forwarding service which allows users to set their domain name to be redirected to another web address. In addition, DNS nameserver hosting is also provided at no extra charge.

ÂPreviously, Singaporeans had little alternative to turn to for their domain registration needs except for Network Solutions (http://www. networksolutions. com (http://www. networksolutions. com)) who had recently lost its monopoly in the Internet domain name registration industry, brought about by the deregulation efforts of the U. S. Department of Commerce along with the Clinton Administration. This liberalisation of domain name registration services translates into cheaper and more personalised domain name registration and management services,Â said ONEfusion Pte Ltd Chief Information Officer Caleb Kow. ÂWe will be transforming the traditionally complicated and costly act of registering domain names into a simple and cost-effective model, suitable for tech-savvy individuals and businesses alike. At the end of the day, we want to drive cost savings and reliability to the customer. Compared to the expensive but slow services of Network Solutions, FusionServe. com will be a new channel for people to turn to for their domain name registrations.Â

FusionServe. com is purely a domain name registration provider committed to the success of its clients and values true partnerships that instantly enhance clientsÂ capabilities and revenues. ÂWe are on a mission to lower the cost of domain names, thereby making the Internet available to a wider audience and in so doing accelerate the InternetÂs rate of growth. This benefits everyone, consumers and clients alike, who participate in the exponential growth of the Internet economy,Â said Teejay Bay, Chief Executive Officer of ONEfusion Pte Ltd.

ÂThe former monopoly, Network Solutions, has traditionally been providing services to end-users. They have had ÂpartbersÂ to whom they have paid small finder fees. FusionServe. com will be these same services at wholesale prices as low as SG$22 (US$13) for our resellers and partners, allowing them to enjoy significant margin and enabling a wide variety of business models. For web hosting providers who frequently help their clients register domain names, FusionServe. com enables them to enjoy valuable savings as compared with Network SolutionsÂ pricing.Â

FusionServe. com is a wholly owned subsidiary of ONEfusion Pte Ltd. Further information may be found at >http://www. fusionserve. com (http://www. fusionserve. com) or by contacting sales@onefusion. com

UK2.net becomes 100th member of LONAP’s peering network

2011-02-12T10:13:00.000-08:00

UK2.net becomes 100th member of LONAP’s peering network

UK2.net, a leading web hosting provider, is set to become the 100th member on LONAP’s, a London-based Internet Exchange Point (IXP), peering network.

(PRWeb UK) December 5, 2010

UK2.net has confirmed they are now the 100th member to join LONAP’s peering network. LONAP, a not-for-profit IXP, facilitates traffic interchange between its members and operates its service out of 5 state-of-the-art data centres within London. LONAP will provide UK2.net with a connections of 10GBps, with a fast switch fabric and inter-site links to ensure UK2’s speed of connecting to the peer network remains as fast as possible, giving their users better connectivity to the site and thus improving their overall web experience.

Another advantage for UK2 on LONAP’s IXP is reduced latency. Members are able to keep traffic local by exchanging it closer to the source, which means that the time it takes for a data packet to reach its destination is reduced. LONAP will also provide UK2 with additional routes to sites hosted on LONAP’s peering network and therefore increasing the resilience of UK2’s connectivity into the UK infrastructure.

Andy Davidson, Director at LONAP had this to say: "LONAP are delighted to welcome UK2 as members. Their membership allows the other networks connected to LONAP direct access to the many thousands of sites hosted on UK2, and UK2 can also deliver website content directly to internet users for free over the LONAP exchange. The result is faster web page and online application delivery for internet users, and cheaper connectivity for UK2."

Martin Baker, Managing Director of UK2.net, said: “We are very excited to be the 100th member on LONAPs peering network. It’s a great opportunity for us and this partnership means we can save on overall spend while at the same time improving the speed of our network which in-turn benefits our customers. We are looking forward to working with LONAP for now and the foreseeable future.”

UK2 understand that consumers are looking for a more responsive online experience and are constantly trying to find ways to meet these demands. This new deal with LONAP should see them take another strong foot forward in a bid to stay on top of the competition and remain one of the leading web hosting providers in the UK.

New San Francisco Organic Restaurant to Host Five Course Prix Fixe Riverdog Farm Dinner December 28-29

2011-02-10T09:44:00.000-08:00

New San Francisco Organic Restaurant to Host Five Course Prix Fixe Riverdog Farm Dinner December 28-29

A special five-course prix fixe dinner is planned for December 28 and 29, 2010 at Locavore restaurant in San Francisco. Locavore specializes in cooking with locally grown, organic fruits and vegetables and pasture-raised, humanely treated livestock.

San Francisco, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) December 22, 2010

Locavore, San Francisco’s newest locally produced, whole animal, organic restaurant, is hosting a $75 five-course prix fixe dinner on December 28 and 29, 2010. Each of the courses in the feast will feature meats from different parts of hogs sourced from Riverdog Farm. Riverdog Farm's hogs are humanely raised and certified organic animals by CCOF.

Whole animal cooking is the practice of purchasing the entire animal and cooking all of the parts. Locavore sources animals from farms and ranches that treat their livestock humanely and raise them in a pasture, not a factory.

“Besides being better for the environment, pasture-raised livestock tend to be tastier and more nutritious than animals raised in factory farms,” said Mario Duarte, one of the owners of Locavore. “That is why we only buy local pasture-raised, humanely treated livestock.”

Those who prefer to eat locally grown/produced food sometimes call themselves locavores. San Francisco’s Locavore restaurant only purchases ingredients from farms within 100 miles of San Francisco. They work with a network of about 25 farms and ranches that report fresh food availability to Executive Chef Jason Moniz daily. Moniz bases the menu each day on the availability of ingredients and what he can find at the farmer’s market, where the abundance of fresh food provides additional inspiration.

For more information about Locavore, or to make reservations, call them at (415) 821-1918.

Globanet Upgrades Its Email Migration Software GEM

2011-01-20T11:29:00.000-08:00

Globanet Upgrades Its Email Migration Software GEM

Upgrades to Globanet Email Migrator (GEM) improve on its existing functionality by supporting new platforms and offering additional features.

Los Angeles, CA; New York, NY (PRWEB) March 25, 2010

Globanet (www. globanet. com), a global leader in specialized software for data migration, announces its recent upgrades to GEM. The product’s updated version expands on its existing functionality by supporting new platforms for data migration into Symantec’s Enterprise Vault. New platforms and enhancements include Tumbleweed Communications (now Axway), advanced chain-of-custody reporting, and server agent architecture for secured transmission of data.

Using the Globanet Email Migrator (GEM), clients are able to consolidate stored email data into Enterprise Vault and retire their previous archiving systems. Once consolidated, clients only have to maintain the database containing their email correspondence which is regulated by SEC compliance rules. Concerns regarding potential loss of data integrity during a migration keep organizations from abandoning their existing systems. GEM eliminates those risks by enabling administrators to migrate data while maintaining chain of custody. In addition, GEM enhances Enterprise Vault's existing functionality for organizations already using Enterprise Vault.

Recently, GEM was used at a multi-national financial firm to decommission Tumbleweed and yet retain supervisory data that was in the Tumbleweed system. Tumbleweed is a program that was used to capture a firm’s inbound and outbound email correspondence. The email messages were subject to compliance review and contained supervisory annotations from compliance officers who had commented on the events that had transpired and documented in emails of monitored individuals. In order for the firm to comply with SEC Rule 17a-4, it was required to retain the messages stored by Tumbleweed as well as the supervisory data when decommissioning the system. The firm decided to consolidate the stored email data by leveraging Globanet’s product GEM which proved to be a complete solution.

“GEM is unique in its capability to decommission legacy archiving systems such as Tumbleweed and give stakeholders peace of mind that all information including supervisory commentary about archived messages are safely retained during migration and thus compliance with SEC regulations maintained,” said Sevag Ajemian, President of Globanet. “One of our recent projects with a multi-national financial firm exemplifies this ability of GEM and really pushes Globanet to the forefront of the IT industry when it comes to dealing with data archives effectively. GEM has been largely successful and will continue to be improved upon as new technologies are developed.”

GEM is an application developed by Globanet to provide seamless migration of data from a variety of information sources into Symantec Enterprise Vault. It transfers email data from several platforms such as Iron Mountain Email Management, Zantaz Digital Safe, GFI MailArchiver, AXS-One (for DXL file migration), and now Tumbleweed Communications and EMC (Legato) EmailXtender. GEM has the ability to migrate email archives into Enterprise Vault (EV), migrate EV data across hardware, migrate between different EV sites, reprocess existing data archived in earlier versions of EV allowing for cost savings on storage, and repatriate email data from hosting providers.

For more information about GEM please contact Globanet at 310-202-0757 ext.102. Visit Globanet’s GEM product page: http://www. globanet. com/gem (http://www. globanet. com/gem).

About Globanet
Globanet (www. globanet. com) has provided proprietary software and services worldwide since 1996. The company is a pioneer in email archiving and it has developed specialized software for data migration.

In addition to other successes, AdvancedMD recently took home the "Best Healthcare Management Solution (Vertical)" award at the 2007 CODiE Awards hosted by the Software & Information Industry Association.

"We are extremely pleased to have attained Gold Certified Partner status in the Microsoft Partner Program. This allows us to clearly promote our expertise and relationship with Microsoft to our customers," said Jim Pack, President & CEO of AdvancedMD. "The benefits provided through our Gold Certified Partner status will allow us to continue to enhance the offerings that we provide for customers."

"Customers are looking for partner companies that can bridge the gap between their business demands and technology capabilities," said Allison Watson, vice president of the Worldwide Partner Sales and Marketing Group at Microsoft Corp. "They need to trust in a company that can act as an expert adviser for their long-term strategic technology plans. Microsoft Gold Certified Partners, which have certified expertise and direct training and support from Microsoft, can build a positive customer experience with our technologies. Today, Microsoft recognizes AdvancedMD as a new Gold Certified Partner for demonstrating its expertise providing customer satisfaction using Microsoft products and technology."

As one of the requirements for attaining Gold Certified Partner status, AdvancedMD had to declare a Microsoft Competency. Microsoft Competencies are designed to help differentiate a partner's capabilities with specific Microsoft technologies to customers looking for a particular type of solution. Each competency has a unique set of requirements and benefits, formulated to accurately represent the specific skills and services that partners bring to the technology industry.

The Advanced Infrastructure Solutions Competency is designed for partners with proven expertise in designing and/or implementing complex infrastructure solutions such as Active Directory®- and Microsoft Host Integration Server-based design and deployment solutions, and Microsoft Exchange Server migration or deployment solutions. Because customers are increasingly asking to do more with less, partners with the Advanced Infrastructure Solutions Competency can identify their unique skill in helping customers access management solutions, improve operational efficiency and reduce security risks. Specializations within the competency are Active Directory and Identity Management, Exchange Migration and Deployment, Hosting Solutions, System Management and Storage Solutions.

"Our industry partners allow us to deliver high-quality solutions and applications to our customers. And we're always looking at ways to improve our relationships," said Paul Flessner, senior vice president of the Server Applications at Microsoft Corp. "Solutions competencies enable Microsoft to provide resources and training to partners seeking to meet, and even surpass, customer needs. The competencies also provide industry partners with a way to showcase their expertise to customers that depend on them for services, such as building critical infrastructure including storage and hosting solutions."

The ISV/Software Solutions Competency recognizes the skill and focus partners bring to a particular solution set. Microsoft Gold Certified Partners that have obtained this competency have a successful record of developing and marketing packed software based on Microsoft technologies.

"Solutions competencies are an important way for Microsoft to better enable ISVs to meet customer needs," said Sanjay Parthasarathy, corporate vice president of the Developer & Platform Evangelism Group at Microsoft. "They allow ISVs to keep and win customers through their deep knowledge of solutions-based Microsoft platform technologies. Microsoft has a long history of working closely with ISV partners to help them deliver compelling solutions and applications to our mutual customers, and the Microsoft Competencies are an important step in continuing to enhance vital relationships with ISVs worldwide."

The Microsoft Partner Program was launched in October 2003 and represents Microsoft's ongoing commitment to the success of partners worldwide. The program offers a single, integrated partnering framework that recognizes partner expertise, rewards the total impact that partners have in the technology marketplace, and delivers more value to help partners' businesses be successful.

Private Islands Inc. Takes Luxury Real Estate Marketing Viral

Private Islands Inc. Takes Luxury Real Estate Marketing Viral

Now employing innovative commercials that bring a viral twist to real estate marketing, Private Islands Inc. is introducing a whole new demographic to their unique properties.

Toronto, ON (PRWEB) October 9, 2008

Luxury real estate firm Private Islands Inc. is now using exciting viral videos (http://ca. youtube. com/user/privateislandsinc) to introduce their company to brand new markets across the globe. "It started a few months ago when we needed to commission a commercial for a project our company was working on," explains company CEO Chris Krolow. "But when I was looking around at the usual real estate marketing videos, they were all in the same vein - endless shots of bathrooms and kitchens, familiar classical music, a cheesy 'Robin Leach' style narrator. We wanted something that would transcend our industry - and inspire passion."

Krolow says that the initial commercial (http://ca. youtube. com/watch? v=IaPuDbR1jqU) ended up being a little too risqué for its intended project, but after posting it online the video generated a huge amount of attention, getting tens of thousands of views on YouTube and other hosting sites. "The strength of the reaction was actually quite surprising to us," he says. "We're now receiving emails on almost a daily basis from people who became fascinated by the idea of island of ownership after running across the video online - or in many cases, having it emailed to them by someone they knew who saw it. We make an effort to innovate, and have had many successful marketing campaigns - but this was the first time I'd say we'd truly 'gone viral'." Private Islands Inc. now has a total of six commercials available on video websites and also in a higher-quality format on Private Island TV, and will be creating more as a regular part of the company's global marketing strategy.

"It's really a question of moving with the changing demographics for real estate buyers," says Krolow. "Obviously, not all of the people who contact us after seeing the videos are in a position to make a large purchase - but they often will be in the future. Private Islands Inc. is now coming up on our tenth year in real estate, and we've seen the process of clients transforming from just being captivated by the idea of islands, to a regular island renter, and eventually to being a serious purchaser. This has inspired the philosophy behind our sometimes boundary-pushing commercials. Islands are often a life-long passion, so we want the way our future clients are introduced to us to be as powerful an experience as possible."

TargetX Launches "X Award" to Honor Excellence in College Recruiting

Student recruiting and higher education marketing are in the throes of a revolution, thanks to the demands of the Millennial generation. Interactive recruiting leader TargetX has established an award to recognize colleges that are meeting the challenge with revolutionary marketing efforts.

Bristol, PA (PRWEB) January 18, 2007

TargetX, a leader in helping colleges recruit the Millennial generation, has created the first award to recognize revolutionary marketing efforts by the nation's admissions offices.

The company's "X Award" will be presented periodically to honor exceptional marketing campaigns and projects, including publications, blogs, podcasts, email, on-campus experiences and other recruiting tools that are undergoing revolutionary changes as marketing-savvy Millennials conduct their college search.

"We're looking for schools that have embraced the remarkable shifts taking place in how students seek information about colleges and how colleges communicate with students," said TargetX CEO Brian Wm. Niles.

TargetX has the credentials to present an award for revolutionary marketing. The company spearheaded the student-recruiting revolution in 1998 when it was founded to help higher education take advantage of the power of email to communicate with prospective students.

Over the years, TargetX has developed other products and services to make it easier for colleges to use the Internet as a recruiting tool. More recently, the company created the position of "Experience Evangelist" to help colleges do a better job of hosting on-campus events, conducting campus tours and telling their unique stories to help differentiate themselves from other schools.

"We're in the middle of a fundamental change in how students search for colleges and decide on their school of choice," said Niles. "As a result, colleges have to be more interactive, more distinctive and more candid."

Schools need to accomplish much of this interaction, differentiation and truth telling through the technologies that today's teens know and love best, said Niles, including instant messaging, blogs, podcasts, personalized email and text messaging.

"TargetX has been at the forefront of recognizing and responding to the needs of colleges as they struggle with these challenges," said Niles, "which is why we feel empowered to recognize their successes and reward them for a job well done."

About TargetX

TargetX (http://www. targetx. com) is the leading provider of interactive recruiting solutions to higher education, helping over 450 colleges recognize and repair the disconnect between the way they market themselves and the way students seek information.

The company offers communications planning, creative services and proprietary technology, including the most powerful email broadcasting and online chat tools in the industry.

TargetX has also developed a reputation for objective and expert counsel, offering a popular series of workshops and seminars, presenting at dozens of conferences around the country, producing a weekly newsletter of tips and trends, and generating the only podcast devoted to student recruiting.

In 2006, the company created the unique position of "Experience Evangelist" and hired award-winning executive Jeff Kallay to advise colleges on how to stage more memorable and authentic experiences.

In 2005, TargetX launched the first integrated suite of online tools aimed at helping colleges communicate with today's web-savvy students. The eXpressSuite includes email broadcasting, online chat sessions, event management, an electronic planning module, message boards, blogging and podcasting tools, and a means of conducting web-based surveys.

In 2004, the company launched iRecruit, an innovative set of services to help colleges navigate what CEO Brian Wm. Niles calls the "Recruiting 2.0 Revolution."

TargetX clients include Columbia University, the University of Miami, Drexel University, Rochester Institute of Technology, the University of Oregon and the Ohio State University.

Seachange Pays Off as DNA Digital Acquires Your Name Web Hosting

Seachange Pays Off as DNA Digital Acquires Your Name Web Hosting

Byron Bay company DNA Digital has acquired Melbourne’s Your Name Web Hosting service, establishing it as one of the largest web hosting and design companies in the region.

(PRWEB) November 30, 2010

Byron Bay company DNA Digital has acquired Melbourne’s Your Name web hosting service, establishing it as one of the largest web hosting and design companies in the region.

Director Dylan O’Donnell recently brokered the deal with Jai Edwards who also owns and operates the highly successful Bar Sushi restaurant chain & Sebastian Banc Hair Salon in Albury-Wodonga. While Your Name’s value has not been disclosed the deal has doubled DNA Digital’s already strong customer base and revenues.

DNA Digital started in Albury-Wodonga, where O’Donnell operated for almost a decade at the technical helm of DragNet Internet Services where he helped the network extend from small local ISP to a fully national network. When management changed at DragNet in 2008, Dylan and his wife Anna moved to Byron Bay and decided to expand with DNA Digital.

“I miss Albury, mostly my friends and the river where we still own a house nearby. It was a bit of a clichéd seachange but Byron Bay also has a very low average wage compared to the rest of Australia. I had no choice but to basically build my own job. The area is increasingly being known as an ‘entrepreneur hotspot’ and there are some amazing people and businesses here.”

Since moving to Byron Bay he has managed operations for DNA Digital and SmartClix Australia, a high-end Internet marketing company while studying at night. O’Donnell recently completed a Masters of Information Technology at Albury’s Charles Sturt University and is eligible in 2011 for his second Dean’s Award for consistently high marks.

“It’s been a busy year for me and the whole team, but I try to find some time to just play guitar or swim at the beach.” O’Donnell says “It’s important for us all to feel relaxed and comfortable to design, develop and support our clients who are some of the best businesses in Australia. That’s why we operate in Byron Bay, and our clients love to visit the area.”

DNA Digital opened its first pubic office in Ballina, NSW in 2009 before moving to their current office in Middleton Street, Byron Bay in early 2010. They provide web design and development services, web hosting and are Google Certified Partners. Recently DNA Digital has been running mentoring sessions through the Northern Rivers Business Enterprise Centre where Dylan O’Donnell has been helping small businesses with online strategies.

Minority Business Directory Launches Online Directory

Minority Business Directory Launches Online Directory

The Minority Business Directory launches its online database of women and minority owned businesses in New York and New Jersey.

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 8, 2007

The Minority Business Directory has launched its online database on their website, www. nycminoritybusinessdirectory. com. Providing over 13,000 business listings for minorities and non-minorities in the New York and New Jersey area, the Minority Business Directory has become a central hub for community and socially conscious consumers as well as procurement agents seeking to improve their supplier diversity quotas.

With its new online presence, the Minority Business Directory presents the largest minority business database searchable by ethnicity in the US.

"This website is the beginning of a new dimension for the Minority Business Directory," says publisher, Gregory Newson.

The online database allows visitors to the site to search for businesses by ethnicity, industry, region, as well as SIC number. This functionality will allow consumers to target their specific needs as well as bolster local minority economies.

"With the online database, we can now add listings and remove outdated listings in a day or two," says Newson. "In the past, it took months."

With an online database, advertisers in the directory are capable of marketing to a much wider consumer-base, extending beyond the New York and New Jersey area.

The Minority Business Directory offers a lifetime business listing starting as low as $150 with packages to accommodate any advertising budget.

The online database serves as a companion to the company's print directory, which is printed and distributed twice yearly to ground-level businesses as well as community organizations.

In addition to the online and print directories, the Minority Business Directory publishes Global New York, a bi-monthly newszine that discusses issues pertinent to minority businesses. The Minority Business Directory is actively seeking collaborations with community business groups, hosting a number of networking events and marketing opportunities in order to achieve its mission of building economic opportunities for minority and women entrepreneurs in the New York and New Jersey area.

For example, on February 13, 2007, the Minority Business Directory will be sponsoring a networking event at the world famous Cotton Club in Harlem, NY. Attendants will learn about successful networking strategies. Price of admittance is $30 at the door starting at 6PM at 656 W125th Street.

The Minority Business Directory was established in 2002. The directory has since expanded to accommodate the needs of not only African American businesses, but all minority and women-owned businesses in the New York / New Jersey area.

SmarterMail 4.0 Sets a Higher Standard for Mail Servers

2010-11-07T11:17:00.000-08:00

SmarterMail 4.0 Sets a Higher Standard for Mail Servers

SmarterMail is well known as a rock-solid mail server solution for ISPs and Web-hosting companies. SmarterTools, Inc. advances that reputation by announcing the release of SmarterMail 4.0 with a virtually spam-free environment and a new AJAX Web interface without sacrificing stability, performance, or value.

Ferndale, WA (PRWEB) January 31, 2007

This newest version of SmarterMail stays on the forefront of protection by providing fully-integrated SpamAssassin, Greylisting, Outbound Spam Checks, and ClamAV virus protection right out of the box. These industry-leading enhancements build upon previously introduced SmarterMail features; such as Bayesian filtering, SPF, RBL, SMTP connection blocking, and more; to ensure that spam and viruses are stopped at the perimeter--95% (or more) of spam never touches an inbox. Best of all, SmarterMail 4.0 does not require the purchase of additional modules or 3rd-party applications. The complete set of spam, virus, and attack-prevention features is included with every version of SmarterMail 4.0 at no additional cost.

"Stability, reliability, and protection are what ISPs, Web-hosting companies, and enterprise organizations need most--hands down," said Tim Uzzanti, CEO of SmarterTools, Inc. "SmarterMail 4.0 is more stable, has more features, and is more secure than ever before. It doesn't matter if you are running very large distributed networks or a single mail server; SmarterMail drastically reduces downtime, failures, and calls for technical support."

SmarterMail 4.0 is a leap forward in email technology with a new user-friendly AJAX Web interface and the addition of custom skins that can be used to make SmarterMail the perfect fit for each organization. ISPs and Web-hosting companies can even create custom skins to "co-brand" and coordinate their mail services. Version 4.0 also expands upon the tools that business customers demand; including collaboration, calendars, contacts, tasks, folders, notes, and enterprise-level features such as synchronization with Microsoft Outlook(R) and Pocket PC.

Mr. Uzzanti continued, "We could not be more excited by SmarterMail 4.0. This release is part of our continuing commitment to offer robust, full-featured software products that deliver value to our clients at every level."

The Enterprise Edition of SmarterMail 4.0 can still be purchased with an unlimited number of domains and users licenses for well under $1000--making a world-class mail server affordable.

The Clocks Developed for Internet Users to Place on Their Web Page Was Downloaded More Than 5,000,000 Times in 24 Hours

2010-10-15T02:10:00.000-07:00

The Clocks Developed for Internet Users to Place on Their Web Page Was Downloaded More Than 5,000,000 Times in 24 Hours

Alternative to "Pay per Clock", clocks with advertisements are being spread around the world in record pace. Company plans to expand this business.

Bellevue, Washington, (PRWEB) January 25, 2006

Today, Pacific Software Publishing, Inc. (hereafter PSPINC), announced the Clocks that PSPINC created for Internet users to place on their Web page were downloaded more than 5,000,000 times in a 24 hours.

Beginning in 2004, PSPINC quietly launched a FLASH based Clock service for web developers. The Clock was designed to show any time zone around the world, plus it was free. Since then, PSPINC has added more Clocks and time zones. In addition to regular Web pages, many Blog users started to include the Clock on their pages. In early 2005, we were displaying over 1,000,000 Clocks a day. However by Thanksgiving Day in 2004, we surpassed 4,000,000 views. In the last 24 hours we recorded 5,000,000 Clock views. “In less than two months, we increased the Clock view by 1,000,000.” said Ken Uchikura, President of PSPINC.

The business model of the Clocklink is simple and very easy to understand. The Clock is free for anyone to use on their Web or Blog page. Each Clock is a time piece with an advertisement and the link to the advertiser’s Web page. At this time, advertisers can advertise with Clocklink for a fixed monthly rate of $50.00. It is a bargain considering some advertisers can generate over 1,000 hits per day. Compared to Google or Yahoo “pay per click” advertisement model (at 7 cents per click), the same amount of hits can cost at least $2,000 per month.

PSPINC can customize the Clock or simply add a company logo to an existing Clock for as little as $100.00. When a company orders a Clock with the $50.00 per month (or $500 per year) advertisement plan, the company receives a special login screen that shows the Clock’s statistics. The company can also distribute the Clock to their suppliers or anyone else for that matter, to generate more hits.

PSPINC plans to add more Clocks to its existing lineup and continues to grow the business. “We will have to invest in the infrastructure of Clocklink as our daily hits grow. We will be looking at least 10,000,000 views, if not more, daily by the end of this year.” Ken Uchikura continued. PSPINC is expanding its efforts to promote Clocklink to more companies around the world.

Wyoming Bank & Trust Chooses The Edcomm Group To Deliver Elder Financial Abuse Compliance Training

Wyoming Bank & Trust of Cheyenne, WY has chosen Focus on Elder Financial Abuse — The Edcomm Group’s eLearning program on Elder Financial Abuse Compliance training — along with Edcomm’s own Learning Management System (LMS), Learning Link® for hosting and maintenance, for its bank-wide training needs.

NEW YORK, NY (PRWEB) August 9, 2006

With more than 5 million cases per year, financial abuse of elders is the number one crime committed against persons age 65 and older. Currently, 17 states and Washington, D. C. have passed laws that require bank personnel to report suspected cases of elder financial abuse. Another 33 states recommend it. Revision to the Elder Justice Act of 2003 is in committee and is expected to pass this year.

The Edcomm Group has been a driving force in the campaign to educate bank personnel about elder financial abuse. Edcomm’s course, Focus on Elder Financial Abuse, is designed to help banks cope with the new laws targeting elder financial abuse by teaching front line staff about how to best serve their elderly customers while reducing risk to the bank.

Focus on Elder Financial Abuse is a comprehensive eLearning program providing training on issues related to elder financial abuse. The course covers: defining elder financial abuse and the laws governing it, detecting the red flags of elder financial abuse, and reporting elder financial abuse properly. Focus on Elder Financial Abuse is geared towards teaching participants how to identify elder abuse and how to protect both their customers and the bank, with accurate, compliant reporting.

Learning Link®, Edcomm’s full-featured learning management system has an open architecture that builds on industry-standard SCORM and AICC compliance, but adds features and capabilities far beyond any competing products. Learning Link® maintains a complete record of every learning and administrative activity and offers a wide variety of customizable, real-time reports available both onscreen and in CSV formats for download and integration into any HR system.

Wendy's company, Fashion With Confidence Unlimited, Inc. (http://www. fwcunlimited. com/), was founded to help women and men define and refine their personal and professional image through cosmetic surgery (http://www. fwcunlimited. com/), cosmetic dentistry, clothing choices, skin care, weight loss, nutrition and communication skills.

Luxury African Safari and Tailor Made Vacations Experts Launch New Adventure Holiday Itineraries

2010-08-13T13:21:00.000-07:00

Luxury African Safari and Tailor Made Vacations Experts Launch New Adventure Holiday Itineraries

Nicola Shepherd’s African and Indian Explorations Company launches exciting new range of holidays for the most adventurous discerning thrill seekers in some of the world’s most exotic locations

(PRWEB) May 14, 2010

Nicola Shepherd knows a thing or two about exciting adventure holidays and safaris – she’s been organising super-luxurious holidays and custom safari (http://www. africanexplorations. com) s for a select group of very high end clients for over 20 years through her company, African and Indian Explorations Ltd.

Those lucky enough to have experienced a Nicola Shepherd holiday will be thrilled to learn that she’s taken all that experience and ploughed it into the creation of a range of new adventure holiday itineraries designed to “Reawaken the Soul of a Safari in Africa and the Inner Workings of India”.

These new adventure holidays are actually personal favourite trips created by the expert staff at African and Indian Explorations and therefore aimed at travellers who really want to get “under the skin” of the areas they visit.

These holidays will go beyond the usual luxury african safaris (http://www. africanexplorations. com) the business was built on, and will include features most requested by travellers such as going to more remote areas, doing more walking or travelling by other non-motorised activities eg. horse riding, canoeing, taking a camel-based safari and fly-camping, focusing on a central theme, eg. spending time learning skills from local tribesmen or experts all of which allow far closer contact with both the bush and local people.

These itineraries can be purchased as they are set on AfricanExplorations. com and IndianExplorations. com or, of course, tailored to suit any individual preference. However, the key element throughout is superb hosting and guiding, both of which are the fulcrum of a successful genuine safari or adventure vacation.

Nicola said “We have designed these holidays to encourage clients to spend more time at each location they visit in both Africa and India. This allows a far greater appreciation of what the both area itself as well as the local inhabitants have to offer. Clients will spend time with, for instance, the owners of the properties that they visit and therefore have time to absorb a greater appreciation of the locality and specific activities.

“It’s a departure from our normal luxury safari (http://www. africanexplorations. com) and tailor made vacation (http://www. africanexplorations. com) service simply because of the demand for these kind of holidays has increased to the point that we thought: why not create our own unique itineraries?”

Nicola’s company is often featured in prestige publications such as the Financial Times and Harpers and Queens because she offers such a high level of service that only the super-rich readers of these can usually afford her!

“The addition of these exciting adventure holidays to destinations such as The Indian Subcontinent, Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Mauritius, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia, South Africa, Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Jordan means that we can give a wider range of people access to the kind of luxury holiday (http://www. indianexplorations. com) most can only dream about.

“The itineraries we’ve put together are the distillation of over 100 years combined experience in creating life-changing holiday adventures for our clients”, Nicola said.

In a break from tradition, these itineraries will be published on Nicola’s websites for clients to view, although previews can be obtained by calling +44 1993 822 443.

Nicola’s African and Indian Explorations Company is based in the heart of England nestling between Oxfordshire and the Costwolds. Her team uniquely consists of indigenous people from the destinations she provides holidays to. This level of expert knowledge means that she is able to provide luxury safari holidays (http://www. africanexplorations. com) and, more recently, bespoke vacations for her predominately UK and US based clients.

Nicola is also available to talk about the culture and geography of the countries she specialises is. She was born and raised in India and Africa before settling in England and is an extremely engaging and entertaining speaker for schools, business and charity events.

May Diva Toolbox Radio: Viva la Value Hosts Author and Expert Budget Party Planner

Online Radio Show Airs May 6 at 3 p. m. ET

Livonia, Mich. (Vocus) May 6, 2010

Redplum. com (http://www. redplum. com), one of the fastest growing online coupon, value lifestyle sites and a leading provider of deals and savings on brands consumers want most, announced today that Diva Toolbox Radio: Viva la Value (http://www. divatoolbox. com/diva-toolbox-radio-/hosts/1988-lisa-reynolds-viva-la-value. html), featuring Lisa Reynolds, RedPlum’s Mom Saver-in-chief, will host its next show on Thursday, May 6 at 3 p. m. ET on Diva Toolbox Radio, an online radio show. During this month’s show, Reynolds will be joined by Jenna Higgins, event planner and author of multiple books on budget party planning, who will discuss fun and inexpensive ways to host parties and entertain guests. Reynolds will also be joined by Supermarket Guru® Phil Lempert, a nationally recognized consumer analyst, for his top five food reviews of the month, and Kate Arcieri, a lifestyle expert, and Editorial Director at redplum. com.

Higgins, a Bellevue, Washington-based planner, thrives on planning budget-friendly events. As a mother of two, she has quite a few birthday bashes under her belt. She keeps projects within budget, and ahead of time frames and loves to work on large project ideas from inception to completion.

A few tips Higgins offers:

Visit dollar stores or discount chains. These are certainly quick, easy places to peruse anything from plastic cutlery to trinkets for the kids, and wonderful locations for an event planners’ back pocket. They’re also great for inexpensive glass vases for flower arrangements.
Think ice-breaker games. These don’t cost much to pull together and serve as a wonderful way to help engage all audiences. They also keep the crowd moving and mingling; two traits to any good party.
Plan “action activities.” Having a few things planned to help entertain your guests will guarantee they feel relaxed and that the party moves. Pulling together a simple puzzle table is fun. Get a puzzle going, possibly with the boarder already done, is an inexpensive or possibly free way to provide something fun to do. You can also break out the outdoor games, like bocce ball, ladder ball and bean bag toss. Old-time games are also a fun way to engage kids, such as Connect Four or Twister. Whatever you have on hand, or can pick up at a yard sale will work; dust it off and put it to good use. Guests will love a flash-back bash.

Skorr Products Announces New Web Site "How To" Video for Wire Chafers

2010-07-07T17:33:00.000-07:00

Skorr Products Announces New Web Site "How To" Video for Wire Chafers

Customers will see how the wire chafer stands are set up for hosting a dinner party.

Torrance, CA (PRWEB) June 11, 2008

Skorr (http://www. skorr. com/) Products, the leading supplier of catering quality domestic wire chafers, announces that it is providing a "how to" video on their web site to show customers the proper procedure for setting up their wire chafers.

"The idea of a how-to video came from the customer calls we were receiving," explains company President Robert Skvorecz. "Most were asking how to open and light the chafing fuel cans. Second was how much water to put into the water pan (3 quarts of hot tap water). A picture is worth a thousand words. We still answer customers question, only now we can also refer them to the video for a visual explanation."

The food warming stands, known as wire chafers, keep food hot during a party or gathering as wire frames support food trays over "keep warm" flames. This frees those hosting the party from kitchen duty since guests serve themselves buffet-style.

Skorr (http://www. skorr. com/) has never had safety issues with their wire chafers. In fact, the company has built its success around designing equipment that exceeds the standards of their only competition, from China.

Many imported wire chafers are cheaply made and of poor design - making them a potential threat to a largely unsuspecting public. .

"The wire chafer stands were so thin, cheap, and poorly welded that they'd come apart in your hand," says John Cuomo, owner of A World of Food Catering, based in Rockland County, New York, whose long-time supplier had switched to an imported brand. "Under the weight of the food and steam trays, they'd be dangerous. I made my supplier remove them from my place of business."

It is a scenario that could quickly put a damper on an event or party.

"Picture a Superbowl reveler scraping lasagna from a food tray kept warm over open-flame fuel cans," adds Skvorecz. "He's got one eye on the game and presses a little too hard in the corner and along the side of an imported, narrow-stance wire chafer stand. The entire tray could tip, spilling the contents over him."

"Our wire chafer stands use a multi-patented design with four flat-bottomed corner legs for the widest stance and greatest stability in the market. Because the legs are placed in the corners with a stance significantly wider than typical overseas product, the wire chafer stand has maximum lateral support to prevent tipping and rollovers."

For greater structural integrity to prevent collapse, the company uses wire of significantly heavier gauge and stronger welds than imported competitors. For critical support of the food and steam trays, which can weigh up to 30 lbs. when fully loaded with heavy entrees and water, their design provides eight vertical supports extending from the table to the upper rim vs. typically four for imported chafer products.

The Skorr design also protects retailers and caterers from the fire hazard of customers trying to put lit fuel cans under the wire chafer stand, rather than placing the can, then lighting it. Since the design avoids the vertical wires midway between the length of the food tray, which is typical in imported wire chafer stands. This eliminates the drop hazard of customers snagging their thumbs on the wires.

The company wire chafer stands have won the Best Quality Award from the Professional Chefs Association. Unlike imported products - which can contain sharp edges due to handmade production processes - Skorr (http://www. skorr. com/) wire chafer stands are precision-made and environmentally friendly.

Ingeniux Introduces "Web CMS by the Slice" with New Software-as-a-Service Packages

Ingeniux OnDemand hosted web content management solution now offered in three new virtual server hosting packages. Ingeniux opens second data center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) August 28, 2008

Ingeniux Corporation, the trusted provider of enterprise 2.0 Web content management software (http://www. Ingeniux. com), today announced three new software-as-a-service packages for Ingeniux OnDemand, a leading hosted web content management solution. Ingeniux has also opened a second hosting facility co-located in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Ingeniux has provided hosted Web content management (http://www. ingeniux. com/Products/Ingeniux-OnDemand-Hosted-Content-Management-Software. xml) since 2003. However, the Ingeniux OnDemand software-as-a-service solution has grown rapidly over the last 12-months. It now accounts for over 50% of Web content management software sales for the company. Ingeniux has launched three new packages designed to meet the needs of small departmental to large enterprise deployments. This "Web content management-by-the-Slice" approach allows customers to purchase exactly as much Ingeniux CMS software as they need and ensures dedicated hardware, bandwidth, and processing in the hosting environment.

Ingeniux OnDemand Virtual Server packages include:

Ingeniux On-Demand VM Essential - supports up to 15 users and 1 website
Ingeniux On-Demand VM Pro - supports up to 50 users and 3 websites
Ingeniux On-Demand VM Enterprise - supports up to 200 users and 20 websites

Ingeniux OnDemand packages start at $1,900 per month and include Ingeniux CMS software, managed CMS hosting, and technical support.

Ingeniux's virtual server hosting approach for Web content management provides several advantages over traditional software-as-a-service solutions. With dedicated virtual servers Ingeniux customers have much more control over their application environment. They can schedule software upgrades when they want, load custom applications, and more easily integrate with back office applications. Dedicated hardware insures the CMS always runs at peak performance, compared with traditional multi-tenancy solutions that share processing power between customers. Moreover, dedicated hardware gives customers the flexibility to easily switch to an on-premise deployment.

"Software-as-a-Service has become increasingly attractive to our customers: it is less expensive, presents a greener, more energy efficient footprint, and is easier to manage and deploy," said Jim Edmunds, Ingeniux President and CEO. "With our new on-demand packages we can provide an affordable, fully managed, Web content management solution that scales to meet any customer requirement."

To support growth in software-as-a-service Ingeniux has opened a second data center. Co-located in Las Vegas, Nevada the new hosting facility features energy efficient blade computers and extensive storage and security capabilities. Ingeniux will use the facility for new software-as-a-service customers and offer geographical redundancy for customers with mission critical data requirements.

NASA Awards Apexmail. net E-mail Contract

2010-06-14T06:10:00.000-07:00

NASA Awards Apexmail. net E-mail Contract

(PRWEB) December 9, 2000

ApexMail. Net Wins NASA E-Mail Contract

Space-related e-mail service will be offered to children on NASA KIDS web site.

Vancouver, B. C. Â December 5, 2000 Â ApexMail. Net has just signed an agreement to provide a web-based

E-mail service for one of NASAÂs primary web sites for children, NASA KIDS (http://nasakids. com (http://nasakids. com)
Or http://kids. msfc. nasa. gov/ (http://kids. msfc. nasa. gov/)). NASA KIDSÂ primary purpose is to offer fun ways for children to learn

About NASA's programs and missions within four Âstrategic enterprisesÂ: Space Science, Earth Science,

Propulsion, and Human Exploration. NASA KIDS is adding the e-mail service to help create and promote

A childrenÂs Internet community involved with learning about science, space, rockets, astronauts, and other

NASA-related activities. NASA KIDS plans to begin offering ApexMail. Net e-mail late in January 2001,

Providing children with their own e-mail addresses ÂName@NASAKIDS. COMÂ.

The mail service is to be offered from NASA KIDS as part of the siteÂs new on-line club and will be

Bundled with other interactive activities being added to the site. In addition to powering the mail service,

ApexMail. Net will jointly develop space-themed stationery for its young e-mail subscribers, giving them

The ability to customize their messages.

Because the e-mail service will target children, a very high priority for NASA is that it complies with the

Regulations set out by the ChildrenÂs Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). Under this U. S.

Government act, children under 13 who request e-mail services and from whom privacy data must be

Collected must have parental or guardian permission. NASA KIDS and ApexMail. Net are taking the

Protection one step further by providing parents with a simple method to manage their childÂs e-mail

Privileges as well as view their e-mail.

ApexMail. Net was selected for the outsourced e-mail service because it was prepared to meet the dual

Requirements of high customization and strict privacy measures. ÂWe needed an e-mail outsourcing

Provider willing to cooperate with our desire to be fully COPPA compliant,Â said Patrick Meyer of NASA

KIDS. ÂApexMail will be an integral part of the NASA KIDS club.ÂBefore an account can be created, a parent must have previously given permission through the NASA

KIDSÂ subscription process. However, because e-mail has high privacy concerns, the club allows parents

The option to disallow the e-mail club feature. For security, ApexMail. Net provides advanced network and

User level spam protection as well as bi-directional virus detection.

ÂWeÂre very excited about partnering with NASA KIDS on this project,Â said ApexMail. NetÂs CEO, Gilles

Lepage. ÂProviding a safe communications service for children on an educational site of NASAÂs quality is

A great opportunity for our company.Â

NASA KIDS is maintained onsite for NASA at NASAÂs Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville,

Alabama.

About ApexMail. Net Inc.

With offices in Vancouver, Canada, and Reno, Nevada, this privately owned company is a leading

Developer of web-based e-mail technologies. Subsequent to the launch of its consumer e-mail service,

ApexMail, in June of 1998, ApexMail. Net has evolved to meet the growing demand for business e-mail

Solutions. Its web-based e-mail products and services can be privately labeled and customized for Internet

Private Grants and Scholarships Dull the Sting of Higher Tuition Costs

2010-06-03T19:12:00.000-07:00

Private Grants and Scholarships Dull the Sting of Higher Tuition Costs.

At a time when unemployment is high, personal income is flat, and college-level education is a requirement for most well-paying jobs, public colleges continue to become less affordable for Texas residents. However, state grants and scholarships offered through the private sector are available to help pay increasing tuition cost. Monica Wheeler, author of "35 Practical Ways to Get Money for College" offers tips for a productive grant and scholarship search.

(PRWEB) March 7, 2003

A slow economy has caused a sharp drop in college and university state spending. According to The National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, public four-year college tuition in Texas has increased 20%. The result, a higher cost for higher education.

"However, there is money available for the diligent," assures Monica Wheeler author of the new e-resource guide 35 Practical Ways to Get Money for College, "Total state financial aid has been raised from $257.7 million to $310.5 million to compensate for the higher cost. State grants and scholarships offered through the private sector are available to help pay increasing tuition cost."

Awards, need and merit based, are usually categorized by geographic location, special interest, or major career fields. "Since criteria are specific, finding the right award can be tedious - but considering the current economic recession, well worth the effort," explains Wheeler. She advises exploring the following options for a productive grant and scholarship search:

1. Guidance Counselor - High School Guidance Counselors are on the front lines with access to information on numerous awards. Start, but don? t end your search at their office door.

2. Online Search-The Internet has emerged as a key source of scholarship information. The following are a handful of helpful sites.

Http://www. wiredscholar. com (http://www. wiredscholar. com) Wired Scholar has one of the internet? s largest databases of financial aid.

Http://www. fastweb. com (http://www. fastweb. com) FastWeb allows you to search 600,000 scholarships worth over $1 billion dollars.

Http://www. brokescholar. com (http://www. brokescholar. com) The BrokeScholar database matches student profiles with more than 900,000 scholarships worth over $3 billion to find the most relevant and obtainable opportunities. They also feature a personalized deadline calendar.

Http://www. collegeboard. com (http://www. collegeboard. com) The College Board is a trusted source that offers a search with 2,000 scholarships, internships, and loan programs.

3. Public and School Libraries-While you want to use the Internet for searches; there is a lot of competition. Got to local libraries and check with the reference desk for institutional, and private student aid scholarship directories. Most of the awards listed are duplicated online, but not all. By investing time to thumb through the telephone-directory-sized books you may find one or two the competition will miss.

4. Local Organizations - There is a better chance of winning money from local organizations such as churches, clubs, community groups, and unions since fewer students are likely to apply. Look specifically for local chapters of larger, national organizations that often give money to students living in certain areas.

5. Place of Employment-Employers may also offer grants and scholarships. Inquire at your personnel office. Dependent students should ask their parent or legal guardian to check the availability of awards.

6. Announcements - Keep your eyes open. Take time to read bulletin boards, posters, and articles in newspapers for competition announcements. Some scholarships are episodic and may occur only once.

MyVRSpot and Educational Networks of America Partner to Bring Student Engagement and Multimedia Sharing to Students in Tennessee, Indiana, and Idaho

FTC Hosting Services, a division of the FTC Family of Companies, has entered into an exclusive partnership with Education Networks of America (ENA) for sales and marketing of their MyVRSpot system to K-12 school districts in TN, IN, and ID.

Bloomington, IL (PRWEB) July 30, 2010

The FTC Family of Companies, a 15-year old company providing technology and technology instruction to K–12 schools and districts, is pleased to announce its recent partnership with Education Networks of America (ENA), the nation’s leading provider of managed Internet access, network, and communication services to schools and libraries.

“The partnership between FTC and ENA will allow us to provide MyVRSpot, our online publishing and collaboration system, to the students and teachers of Tennessee, Idaho and Indiana through one of the most respected companies in K–12 education,” said Brian Hinds, vice president of sales at FTC.

ENA’s Director or Marketing Monica Farner said, “ENA is very excited about our new partnership with FTC and their MyVRSpot system. Many of the schools and districts that ENA serves are committed to incorporating student-generated video and other multimedia into their classrooms, and MyVRSpot provides the ideal facilitation for it. This safe and secure space gives students the ability to share videos, audio files and pictures with a sense of ownership but without the risk of inappropriate content. It’s a powerful tool for integrating collaboration, demonstration, presentation and other 21st-century learning strategies into the classroom. As a very big added bonus, teachers can use the very same tools for professional development.”

MyVRSpot combines the online self-publishing found in services like YouTube with the online interaction of popular social networking sites and rolls all of that into a system that is safe and educational, supporting all curriculum areas. This innovative system provides each student with a hosted web space (called a webspot) where they can upload videos, audio files, pictures, and text. These materials, which are able to be shared across the school or district after teacher approval, can be viewed and reviewed by peers and faculty. Using tools already in their hands—like digital cameras and their cell phones—students can create video content or images, fulfilling assignments and creating classroom resources in their own way.

"In looking for a strategic partner for the MyVRSpot system, we wanted to focus on finding a company that truly understands where technology in education is heading and that grasps the benefits of catering to today’s students’ learning styles, and we have found it in ENA," added Hinds.

About the FTC Family of Companies

The yearlong celebration will center around Ocean Lakes’ loyal guests and teammates. Highlights include a cake gala and contest featuring $3,000 in grand prizes; random prize giveaways; a “Picture This! Calendar Photo Contest”; the unveiling of a new mascot costume to attend events; and the dedication of a town clock. In addition, Ocean Lakes' goal is to reach 40,000 fans on Facebook by its birthday on July 2, 2011; there are now more than 22,000 fans.

“Our founders have always said that we are in the 'family business,'” said Barb Krumm, Director of Marketing and Public Relations at Ocean Lakes Family Campground. “Our goal has always been customer service and to create a place for family fun. In 2011, we are celebrating 40 years of creating family memories that last a lifetime.”

The East Coast's largest campground will kick off its birthday celebration by hosting its 11th Annual Beach n' Boogie Weekend Feb. 18 through Feb. 19. It will feature great beach music by The Fantastic Shakers and The Embers, shag lessons, prizes, food and fun for all ages.

Facebook fans from all over the country will gather at Ocean Lakes for its 2nd Annual Facebook Fan Appreciation Weekend April 1 through April 2. Last year, more than 100 fans participated in the fun-filled weekend. This event is fun for those who attend in person as well as those tuning in remotely on Facebook for photos, prizes, video and games.

On April 15, the campground will host its premier event of the season, the exclusive Cake Gala. To attend the gala, guests must win one of 400 elusive “Golden Tickets” online or in park. At the gala, Ocean Lakes’ guests and teammates will create cake masterpieces that embody the 40 years of great memories and fun at Ocean Lakes Family Campground. There are three categories in this contest and each grand prize winner will receive $1,000.

More than 30,000 guests will be in the park for Ocean Lakes' official birthday on July 2. Plans include many prizes and birthday activities. The campground wants to recognize guests with the same birth date, and especially those who turn 40 on that day.

Other highlights throughout the year include the 2nd Annual Salute to the Troops on Independence Day, the 13th Annual Premier Bluegrass Weekend, Gospel Weekend, 7th Annual All Star Golf Car Show, Halloween Weekend and the South Carolina Fossil Fair.

“Our campground has a rich history of drawing families from all over the United States for a premier camping experience,” Krumm said. “Millions have vacationed at Ocean Lakes – many families for three and four generations. It’s an honor to be part of their families' traditions. Plus, we have several teammates who have worked here for 20 to 30 years. Many of our guests and teammates know each other by name.”

An Amazing Family History

Ocean Lakes Family Campground was built by Mary Emily and Nelson Jackson, along with their five daughters, in 1970. Although it is considered a “mega park” in the camping industry, it had humble beginnings; it opened on July 2, 1971, with 30 campsites and one
Bathhouse. It now features 893 campsites and more than 2,500 annual lease sites on 310 oceanfront acres with nearly one mile of beachfront, four bathhouses, and more than 400 teammates in the height of the camping season.

In 2006, Ocean Lakes received the prestigious South Carolina Governor’s Cup for making a significant economic impact on South Carolina. It has been named the National “RV Park of the Year” four times by the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (ARVC).

Introducing Charitable Donors to a Paterson, NJ Village for the Poor - Eva's Village, Presents 'Virtual Tour' 2008 Visions of Hope Gala

2010-05-06T02:33:00.000-07:00

Introducing Charitable Donors to a Paterson, NJ Village for the Poor - Eva's Village, Presents 'Virtual Tour' 2008 Visions of Hope Gala

Eva's Village, (www. evasvillage. org), Paterson, NJ, announces gala event to help fund four-mission plan to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, treat the addicted and provide medical care to the poor with respect for the human dignity of each individual. Eva's Village is actively seeking gala attendees, donors, charitable contributions and volunteers to help them serve this deserving community in New Jersey.

Paterson, NJ (PRWEB) September 16, 2008

Eva's Village, Paterson, NJ has the unique problem of doing so much to help some of America's poorest citizens that donors find it hard to comprehend. To solve the problem, Eva's Village is bringing almost an even dozen social programs housed in as many buildings spanning three inner city blocks to donors attending the annual Eva's Village Gala (http://www. evasvillage. org/2008gala/index. html) being held this year on October 16, 2008 at Mayfair Farms, West Orange, NJ.

Eva's mission to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless (including women with children), treat the addicted and provide medical care to the poor will be presented as a 'virtual tour' at the Gala, titled Visions of Hope. "Too often, our donors don't realize all we do at Eva's Village, but that's not going to happen this year", comments Eva's Village board member and Gala Committee Chairperson, Michael Tortora.

Eva's Village board members, staff and volunteers have joined together to present gala attendees with beautifully decorated bedrooms from Eva's Hope Residence of St. Frances for Mothers with Children; a dental exam room from the Eva's Village free medical clinic; a recreation of the cheerful Eva's Kitchen (http://www. evasvillage. org/kitchen. html) that serves 1,000 hot meals per day, and more.

"The need for donations to fund our many anti-poverty programs keeps rising, but when donors see all that Eva's Village does, they are so generous it just astounds me," says Executive Director, Sister Gloria Perez, "Eva's Village, and the poor we serve, are truly blessed with the best donors and volunteers in America".

Sister Gloria points to the example of Richard and Aleta Taylor, owners of Machinery Service Corp. (http://www. servicer. com/index. html), and Rapid Pump & Meter Service Co. (http://www. rapidservice. com), Inc., both long-time Paterson, NJ community activists, who quickly stepped in as the Major Event Sponsor to make the event successful.

Machinery Service Corp., and Rapid Pump & Meter Service Co., Inc., of Paterson, NJ are the Major Event Sponsors. Since 1978, Machinery Services Corp. has provided superior electrical, mechanical, and fabricating contracting services in Northern New Jersey. Since its inception in 1960, Rapid Pump & Meter Service Co., Inc. has been providing sales, repair and installation, with 24-7 emergency service in the water and wastewater industries throughout Northern New Jersey.

Sister Gloria also cites Joe Piscopo (http://www. joePiscopo. com), the 2008 Visions of Hope Honoree and well-known actor, comedian and Spokesperson for Boys and Girls Clubs of New Jersey, plus a long list of personal, corporate, school and community group donors and volunteers being honored at the 2008 Gala for their efforts at the new Hope Residence of St. Frances for women with children.

The Eva's Village "Visions of Hope" (http://www. evasvillage. org/2008gala/index. html) benefit Gala, to be held on October 16, 2008 at Mayfair Farms in West Orange, NJ, hopes to raise $600,000 to benefit the expansion of Eva's Village programs to help the poor.

For more information on the "Vision of Hope" Gala Dinner contact: Joey Mazza, Special Event Coordinator - Phone: (973) 523-6220 Ext. 235, Fax (973) 825-7297, Email Joey. Mazza @ evasvillage. org.

Eva's Village encourages donations from outside their Paterson NJ local area and receives donations from all across America. Just because you don't live here doesn't mean you can't do a world of good for the poor", reminds Sister Gloria, who points out that donations and gala reservations are easily made online, at: www. EvasVillage. org

Eva's Village is not your typical food kitchen, homeless shelter, recovery center or medical clinic. It is all of these and more -- a unique social service program where even the most unfortunate are treated with dignity and "where hope begins" for people like Clara, who came to Eva's Village addicted to crack cocaine and pregnant. She thought she could do it all on her own until she ended up homeless and on welfare. Eva's Village Recovery Centers for Women treated Clara's addiction with counseling, education, job training, 12-step programs and support for the transition from addiction to hope, employment and independence. Most important for Clara is that she did not need to give up her son to family or foster care.

Originally a New Jersey soup kitchen (http://evasvillage. org/programs/?page=feeding), Eva's Village was founded in 1982 by Msgr. Vincent E. Puma in response to the homeless problem (http://evasvillage. org/programs/?page=shelter) in his Paterson, NJ parish. But Msgr. Puma soon realized that a soup kitchen was not enough. With the generous support of donors and private and government grants, Eva's has grown into a full-scale "village" spread over several city blocks with facilities to meet the needs of the homeless, addicted and poor.

Today, Eva's Village is one of the most respected anti-poverty programs in America, with many programs that strive to help residents achieve meaningful and productive lives. To donate (http://www. evasvillage. org/donate) to Eva's Village NJ Charity (http://evasvillage. org/), and to find out about volunteer (http://evasvillage. org/volunteer) opportunities in New Jersey, or for more information, go to www. EvasVillage. org, call 973.523.6220, or write to: Donna Fico, Chief Marketing Officer, Eva's Village, 393 Main Street, Paterson, NJ, 07501.

Moab Cluster Software Certified on PSSC Labs PowerWulf Clusters

2010-05-01T08:21:00.000-07:00

Moab Cluster Software Certified on PSSC Labs PowerWulf Clusters

Cluster Resources, Inc. TM announced today that their Moab Cluster Suite® software passed compatibility tests on PSSC Lab's PowerWulf Linux clusters, offering a seamless solution for optimizing cluster workload management and return on investment.

Provo, UT (PRWEB) June 7, 2006 -–

PSSC Labs' Beowulf Linux clusters, known as PowerWulf, are made to order, offering various options for configuration and capacity. Customers can choose between AMD and Intel processors of varying speeds for both compute and head nodes. Choices for Linux-based operating systems, RAM, hard drives and many other components are included in the custom configuration process. PSSC Labs also provides full hardware and software support free for the life of the cluster. Adding Moab Cluster Suite's intelligent scheduling capability and full tech support to PSSC's custom hardware and software package can increase resource utilization to 90-99 percent, creating a highly efficient system designed to optimize performance in any computing environment.

“PSSC Lab's PowerWulf Linux clusters are the perfect solution for end users in need of an optimized and fully supported solution,” said Alex Lesser, PSSC Labs vice president. “PSSC Labs' Complete Beowulf Software Toolkit (CBeST) includes a myriad of tools cluster users need to focus on their work and not on managing a cluster. Cluster Resources' Moab software seamlessly integrates with CBeST to further enhance the CBeST feature set.”

Running Moab Cluster Suite on PSSC's software stack optimizes utilization by integrating information generated by the resource manager and various hardware monitors into one graphical interface. Moab uses that information to intelligently schedule jobs to optimize total system usage. Moab also gives administrators the power to manually change reservations and scheduling priorities as needed from a remote location.

“Moab Cluster Suite creates a computing environment where the system basically takes care of itself,” said Nick Ihli, Technical Marketing Manager of Cluster Resources. “Instead of using basic FIFO scheduling, Moab looks for the best fit between processor availability and job requirements. By doing this, Moab can increase utilization up to 99 percent, while still being flexible enough for administrators to make any necessary adjustments.”

PSSC Labs' technicians customize their cluster middleware package, CBeST, before shipping. The software package combines best-of-breed open source software, such as TORQUE, Ganglia and System Imager, with an optimized kernel, custom scripts, custom settings, hard drive partitioning, message passing software and more. Moab seamlessly integrates with CBeST's tool set. For instance, Moab works with TORQUE to provide intelligent scheduling, integrates with Ganglia to create advanced graphical systems reports, and automates System Imager's provisioning based upon reservations or per job requirements.

“Our goal is to give our customers the most efficient, easy-to-use and cost-effective supercomputer possible,” Lesser said. “We have a full staff of Linux experts ready to answer any question. In addition, we provide a simple yet comprehensive user manual for the CBeST software. This manual includes everything from installation and customization instructions to trouble-shooting tips for every level of user or administrator. Moab makes our easy-to-use system even easier to manage.”

The combination of PowerWulf and Moab provides a fully-supported hardware and software solution to maximize return on investment.

Exatel Partners with Proximetry & Tranzeo to Deliver Innovative WiMax Services to Business, Municipal Users Throughout Poland

2010-04-30T11:07:00.000-07:00

Exatel Partners with Proximetry & Tranzeo to Deliver Innovative WiMax Services to Business, Municipal Users Throughout Poland

Next generation WiMAX network architecture uses Tranzeo pico base stations, subscriber units powered by Proximetry’s AirSyncTM intelligent provisioning & management software.

Warszawa, Poland, Pitt Meadows, BC, San Diego, CA (PRWEB) March 12, 2008 –-

Exatel S. A. announced today that it will deliver innovative WiMAX services to business, municipal, and other users using software and equipment from Proximetry, the technology leader in real-time wireless network and performance management solutions, and equipment from Tranzeo Wireless Technologies Inc. (TSX: TZT), a premier manufacturer of high-performance wireless broadband solutions. The next generation WiMAX network architecture uses Tranzeo’s carrier-class TR-WMX-3.5-pBS 3.5GHz pico Base Stations and TR-WMX-3.5 Subscriber Units both powered by Proximetry’s AirSyncTM intelligent provisioning and management software to control and manage the users, devices, and services on the network. AirSync has an open architecture that can be extended and integrated to support other wireless and wireline elements in the carrier network. Exatel’s initial network rollout will focus on three major cities in Poland with deployments in over 20 cities by the end of 2008.

“As a long time supporter of WiMAX we have had many investments in pilot solutions, and $1500 per sector for a next generation WiMAX solution gives Exatel much more flexibility in deploying new customer services,” said Pawel Olech, vice president of the management board for Exatel. “The AirSync-enabled pico base station means we can offer differentiated services for increased revenues, while also enjoying advanced manageability of the network. The result is a much improved and highly scalable business model that gives us the ability to compete aggressively for business, municipal, and other customers in the market.”

The breakthrough price, performance of the Tranzeo WiMAX solution coupled with AirSync enables carriers to deploy a next generation WiMAX network with more robust network coverage and throughput, and optimized service and application performance. As a result, more bandwidth can be immediately directed to key users and geographies as the network scales up. Exatel’s innovative WiMAX service model takes full advantage of AirSync’s highly granular service controls so users and their applications are guaranteed to get the performance when and where needed.

Combining Proximetry’s AirSync intelligent provisioning and management software with Tranzeo’s carrier class network equipment provides a comprehensive, turn-key, and low-cost WiMAX solution. This combined solution is ideally suited for next generation WiMAX service offerings where different user types, applications, and devices each need varying degrees of guaranteed quality of service (QoS). AirSync enables the Tranzeo system to be autonomously provisioned and service levels managed according to network policies and the real-time use and behavior of the network. This dynamic approach to managing network performance enables Exatel to take an innovative position in offering new services to its clients.
"Exatel exemplifies a new breed of carrier that will offer differentiated, next generation WiMAX services,” said Tracy Trent, Proximetry’s chief executive officer. “And to do that, they need a new type of base station that is low-cost and rapidly deployable, while also having the intelligence to manage all the competing applications, services, users, and devices on the network in real time.”

Proximetry’s AirSync continually monitors and optimizes all wireless connections in the network to enable maximum throughput, services, and end user satisfaction. This approach of active monitoring, and real-time adjustments, assures that appropriate service levels are always met for all authorized users. The result is a wireless network with the performance, scalability, and reliability typically found in carrier-class wireline networks. AirSync’s intelligent provisioning aligns network resources to user and device priorities, makes dynamic bandwidth allocations to meet changing user demands, and uses predictive routing and optimal resource configuration to maximize throughput and other performance parameters. Dynamic and flexible configuration of network resources and assured bandwidth allocation are essential ingredients in delivering quality-of-service in today's increasingly complex wireless networks.
