VANTAA, FINLAND, July 24, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Acclaimed mobile application and software development company Haave Inc. decided to show its appreciation to fans of their mobile applications today, announcing a promotion on DocScanner Pro, the studio's mobile document scanning and storage utility for iOS, that will see the recently launched productivity app available for free on the App Store for the one day only. Normally carrying a $6.99 price tag, DocScanner Pro provides users with a one-stop-shop document scanning and saving solution flexible enough to hold any form of document or media, and functional enough to enable them to effectively organize and share scanned documents via nearly every major cloud service in addition to email and via social media.

Compatible with the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, DocScanner Pro was created to give users the power to turn their smart devices into mobile document centers. The process is simple: with the snap of a photo, users digitize any 2D media they'd like to - whether it's important business document, school notes, photos, art or anything in between - to have, reference, share and print while on the go from virtually anywhere. More than a camera enabled gimmick, DocScanner Pro automatically formats any scanned media and gives users the option to automatically scan paper documents and save them as PDFs as well.

With the help of DocScanner Pro's flexible organizational tools keeping documents neatly saved and available for quick reference is a breeze regardless of how extensive users libraries become, while equally flexible integration via Evernote, Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud and WebDAV gives users the option to upload documents to the cloud of their choice with the click of a button. Sharing via email, Facebook and Twitter is supported as well, and with DocScanner Pro any scanned document users need to print as a hard copy can be sent directly to their nearest printer via AirPrint too. Set to change the way the mobile community interacts with their documents, photos and more, DocScanner Pro is free for a limited time and ready to make paper clutter a thing of the past.

What is the National Day of the American Cowboy? The National Day of the American Cowboy campaign was founded by American Cowboy magazine in 2004 to preserve, protect and promote our cowboy and Western heritage. This is accomplished by lobbying for the passage of a national resolution designating the fourth Saturday of every July as a permanent celebration on the national calendar honoring cowboys and cowgirls for their enduring contribution to the courageous, pioneering spirit of America.

“The Cowboy Spirit is about honesty, integrity, courage, and patriotism, and Cowboys are models of strong character, sound family values, and good common sense.” (Senate Resolution 191, designating July 27, 2013 as “National Day of the American Cowboy.”)

American Cowboy magazine was founded in 1994 and is based in Boulder, Colorado, www.americancowboy.com. Each issue engages more than 430,000 readers for whom the authentic Western lifestyle and cowboy code is central to their core values. Our involvement with manufacturers, retailers, event producers, and associations—along with our unparalleled following of loyal readers—has kept our magazine at the heart of the Western community.

The Largest Expressway Service Area in Taiwan (Dongshan) Redecorated with GlacialLight LED Lights

Jung He City, Taiwan, July 25, 2013 --(PR.com)-- GlacialLight, a division of the Taiwanese technology manufacturer, GlacialTech Inc., is pleased to announce that its environmentally friendly LED lighting products are being used in many applications around the world and providing users with energy-saving light of the highest quality. The redecorated indoor facilities of Dongshan Expressway Service Area in Southern Taiwan, the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia, are an excellent example of the benefits of GlacialLight LED lighting.

The redecorated indoor facilities of Dongshan Service Area were opened to the public in June, 2013 and boast a wide range of GlacialLight LED lighting, including: LED Bay Lights, Flood Lights, Down Lights and Indoor Lamps (AR111 and MR16). GlacialLight's lights were chosen because of their aesthetic appeal, energy-saving design and wide selection of customizable models. Compared to the traditional lighting used in the service area earlier, the new GlacialLight LED lights reduce about 80% of power consumption, which has helped to make the service area significantly more environmentally friendly.

The service area and its adjacent bus station cover an area of approximately 40 hectares. The service station offers rest to thousands of people everyday, many of whom visit the extensive interior facilities. These facilities range from an information desk and tourist lounge to several major retailers and restaurants. All of these public spaces have GlacialLight LED lighting installed in them.

Choosing lighting for a space as large as Dongshan Service Area means many factors need to be considered. One example of this is the tourist lounge with a 20 meters high ceiling. Lighting for such a space needs to come from different directions and needs to be of high luminosity. To provide an optimal level of luminosity a combination of 110 and 210 watt GlacialLight Bay Lights and Flood Lights were selected. The Bay Lights were hung from the roof and the Flood Lights were placed around the base of the load-bearing columns. This combination offers a bright natural-looking luminosity for the large space.

The wide selection of GlacialLight's LED lights made it possible for the optimal LED lights to be found for specific tastes and needs. For example, the inventive AR111 lamp and the supplementary MR16 projection bulb were chosen for most storefronts, but the softer luminosity GlacialLight Down Lights were selected for the information desk and some of the storefronts.

GlacialLight is excited to see its product lines being used to make businesses more successful and at the same time benefiting society by offering lighting products that have longer lifetimes and save more energy than traditional lighting, emit no harmful UV or IR radiation, and contain no hazardous materials such as mercury.

Yverdon-les-bains, Switzerland, July 25, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Leading software licensing solution company Lotaris has partnered with mobile payments company Fortumo for carrier billing on Windows 8 and Windows Phone. Carrier billing by Fortumo will enable developers using Lotaris’ in-app Commerce solution to charge end-users in 80 countries for both traditional applications and apps in the Windows Store and Windows Phone Store by charging purchases to their phone bill.

"This alliance between Fortumo and Lotaris brings two industry-leading and award-winning mobile content monetization platforms together to form one seamless, flexible solution. Our combined solution allows content developers -- from the smallest 'indie' to the largest global players -- the ability to offer their users the broadest range of business models smoothly integrated with every major payment option, including the widest coverage of mobile operator payment in the world," said Miika Kettunen, GM Lotaris (Europe) and Head of Product Development.

“Mobile payments give developers access to end-users who would otherwise not be able to pay for premium apps, features and in-app purchases -- growing the potential user base ten-fold. Combining Lotaris' flexible application licensing with carrier billing will bring exciting new monetization opportunities to developers on Windows platforms and beyond,” said Martin Koppel, COO of Fortumo.

“Mobile payments give consumers an alternate payment method to credit cards, which can greatly benefit Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 users and developers,” said John Richards, senior director of Windows App Marketing for Microsoft Corp. “We are happy to see companies like Lotaris and Fortumo working together to create attractive financial opportunities for developers and seamless purchasing experiences for users on Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8.”

Lotaris will integrate Fortumo’s mobile payments SDK for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 into its in-appCommerce solution, making carrier billing available for developers at the end of July.

About Lotaris
Lotaris provides application developers, ISVs and distributors a more cost-effective and intelligent way of managing and monetizing their mobile applications.

Taipei, Taiwan, July 25, 2013 --(PR.com)-- 4ipnet, a leading provider of cost-effective WLAN solutions for hospitality, education, and enterprises, today announced the OWL530, the most affordable dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n outdoor access point to join its OWL-series product line.

The rugged IP68-rated metal housing of the OWL530 is weatherproof, watertight and rust-resistant, making it an ideal solution for deployments in harsh conditions. For example, the protective vent plug can not only prevent salt corrosion, but also moderate condensation and assist in heat dissipation. Furthermore, the ground wire can prevent damage caused by potential power surges.

On the performance end, the OWL530 supports up to 300Mbps data rate with its 2x2:2 MIMO solution. Combined with its 802.3af compliant PoE gigabit Ethernet interface, the OWL530 ensures smooth and uninterrupted multimedia usage such as video streaming. The two detachable N-type external antennas also provide the OWL530 a much greater degree of flexibility when faced with the varying requirements of each deployment scenario.

The OWL530’s real value is in its ability to operate in multiple modes. For price conscious users who demand broadband connectivity, the OWL530 eliminates the need for the expensive trenching of fiber cabling by operating in WDS-mode. WDS-mode enables the OWL530 to establish multiple WDS links and bridge neighboring 4ipnet APs together. With a high-power signal and long-range coverage, the OWL530 can also operate in AP-mode to effectively serve Wi-Fi clients. Lastly, the OWL530 can be configured in CPE-mode as an ideal last-mile solution for wireless ISPs (WISPs). The diversity of applications makes the OWL530 a perfect choice for any outdoor deployment.

When deployed in conjunction with 4ipnet’s WHG-series controllers, the OWL530 provides an array of value-added functions, such as client load-balancing, bandwidth control, billable hotspot authentication, and guest access. With the OWL530, 4ipnet continues to provide reliable and feature-rich, yet affordable, wireless networks to organizations and businesses of all scales and types.

Philip Kingsley Moves to the Cloud with Doherty Associates

London, United Kingdom, July 25, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Having taken the decision, Philip Kingsley realised that the best way to plan and coordinate a successful transition to the Cloud was to work closely with a leading IT services group. After an extensive review of the market, Doherty Associates was independently recommended and following an assessment of the company’s requirements, Doherty started to move Philip Kinglsey to the Cloud. This was achieved using Doherty’s acclaimed CloudToo® service, which has been specifically designed to help organisations introduce Cloud technology into their business.

Central to the new Cloud solution, was the market leading Microsoft Office365. This provided a centralised and secure email and communication system, accessible at any time and from any location or device. Doherty also ensured that Philip Kingsley’s new system is protected by state of the art security and covered by comprehensive 24/7 support.

Chris Burridge, Managing Director of Philip Kingsley is keen to stress the difference that the new system makes. In his view, “Previously, we had worked under the old mentality of just looking after ourselves by having our own server. However, we realised that to support on-going expansion, we needed to move to Cloud technology as it is infinitely more scalable. In moving to the Cloud, our systems can grow with us. Most importantly though, it would allow us to access the system regardless of time zone or location. To me, this is especially important as I travel extensively on business.

“Having decided to move, you realise that you need to work closely with an experienced IT services company to ensure that the transition runs smoothly. Doherty was independently recommended to us and we also knew one of the company’s team separately. However, we still did our own due diligence and what we heard was very good, so we went with them; after all you need a name that you can trust. Doherty is very proficient in the Cloud and despite there being a lot of complex upgrading and other work involved in the move, they delivered what we needed smoothly and efficiently. The 24/7 support is great too and Doherty also sources IT equipment for us at very competitive prices. So, with Doherty covering our Cloud systems, I can return to my main priority, which is driving a successful business and making our brand even more successful.”

Richard Ruddlesden, Doherty’s Sales Director welcomed Burridge’s comments adding; “Philip Kingsley is a premium brand and an immensely successful organisation. They realised that as they grow, having the right technology in place is important as it allows them to compete with the best on a global stage. By moving to the Cloud, through our CloudToo® service, they have matched the right technology to their business needs. We are delighted that in choosing Doherty, they have found a trusted partner that can fully optimise and support their use of this exciting technology. We look forward to working closely with them as their success story continues.”

Selling Power Features The Brooks Group on 2013 Top 20 Sales Training Companies List

Source: The Brooks Group

Greensboro, NC, July 25, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Today The Brooks Group announced that it has been included on the 2013 Top 20 Training Companies list published by Selling Power magazine. The list appears in the Summer (July/Aug/Sept) issue of Selling Power, which will be mailed to subscribers in the second week of August.

"We're honored to be included on this list. We believe it's a reflection of the results our clients achieve, which is a direct consequence of the incredible team here at The Brooks Group," says Jeb Brooks, President and CEO of The Brooks Group.

The following points were just two of the considerations that influenced the selection process for the 2013 Top 20 Sales Training Companies list.

1) Research by Corporate Executive Board has shown that up to 57 percent of B2B buying steps are completed before buyers connect with a salesperson. According to Selling Power editors, many B2B companies are still working to adapt their sales process to meet the expectations of the newly empowered customer.

2) Increased commoditization in many industries has left many sales teams to compete on price alone. In such an environment, Selling Power believes that sales training can be a vital differentiating factor in helping salespeople shift the dynamic and move the customer’s focus to value, rather than price.

“When a company has adopted an excellent sales training program, the proof is the reaction of the customer,” says Selling Power founder and CEO Gerhard Gschwandtner. “Good sales training actually enhances the buying experience for the customer. A high-quality sales training initiative is one of the best investments a sales leader can make to become more successful and more competitive in any market.”

The best sales training companies share the following characteristics:

-Provide a consultative experience.
-Quantify results with metrics.
-Offer customization and post-training support.
-Have a documented track record of ROI.

The five criteria used for selection on the list were:

1) Depth and breadth of training offered,
2) Innovative offerings (specific training courses or methodology) or delivery methods,
3) International capabilities,
4) Ability to customize offerings, and
5) Strength of client satisfaction.

Selling Power editors say the firms included on the 2013 Top 20 Sales Training Companies list have “demonstrated an excellent awareness of the skills and tools required in order to succeed and remain competitive in today’s selling environment.” For more information or to order a copy of the Summer issue, visit sellingpower.com or call Selling Power headquarters at (540) 752-7000.

Dingo Asset Wellness Network: Maximizing Machine Productivity

$

0
CENTENNIAL, CO, July 25, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dingo Software, a leader in heavy asset management software and services, is excited to announce the formation of the world's first Global Asset Wellness network.

"Customers will now be able to receive expert maintenance insights on a wide range of mining, oil and gas, rail and energy assets anywhere, anytime," said Paul Higgins, CEO of Dingo.

After developing this Cloud-based approach with customers in 2007, Dingo's Asset Wellness network now protects over 70,000 major components daily, having received and processed tens of millions of data samples from a large range of sources including oil analysis labs, vibrations systems, VIMS , Komatsu VHMS , Detroit DDEC , Cummins Cense, Equipment Management Systems, SAP , tire wear, component inspection reports and images, CMMS work orders, undercarriage wear and fluid consumption.

Data entering the 24-7 Network is transformed into proactive work using Dingo's Trakka software, which first filters the information using sophisticated rules and statistics, passing identified problems to teams of experienced maintenance experts for real, contextual decisions. The formation of this Network links Dingo's global Insight and Action Centers and extends coverage across all time zones, meaning lower risk and higher responsiveness for customers.

Dingo's Network is comprised of dedicated Asset Insight centers in Brisbane, QLD and Denver, CO, connected to Asset Action centers in Darby, U.K.; Muswellbrook, NSW; Timmins, ON; Fernie, BC; Kamloops, BC; Madisonville, KY; Silver City, NM; Boise, ID; and Elko, NV. This Asset Wellness network is connected to customers through the Cloud-based Trakka software and to data sources through Dingo's Connector Library.

"Much like in human health, asset intensive industries are looking for ways to push the boundaries of what it means to operate in an optimum state," said Higgins. "While 'health care' triggers images of hospitals treating the ill, 'Wellness' describes groups of people enjoying long and full lives, through regular exercise and proactive measures. This vision captures what Dingo is bringing to the world of Asset Management."

In a recent example, a Dingo customer, whose five mines are served by Dingo's Denver Insight Center, realized a 19% improvement in average life across an entire mining system. This was achieved through close monitoring of health indicators, combined with rapid action on recommendations issued directly from Dingo's Network, to maintenance staff.

"Users benefit from analysis of the largest OEM-independent database of comparative machine performance information," commented Colin Donnelly, Dingo's Director of Engineering. "Our goal is to make it easy for asset managers to find and fix problems before they become an expensive failure, and to take care of their machines so they can maximize their longevity."

Founded in 1991, Dingo is the world leader in providing focused condition management software, systems and experts to heavy asset-intensive industries. Dingo's systems drive real results of increased availability and reduced operating costs, which provide typical payback of 3:1 within 12 months. Dingo's software and experts are widely used in the Mining, Rail and Energy sectors. Dingo is a privately held company, headquartered in Brisbane, Australia, with offices also in the U.S. and Canada.

Sex crimes: Feds partner with Dallas cops to fish online for citizens

$
0
0
July 25, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- You might be told by the media, the police and even loved ones that there is no such thing as a victimless crime. But what about a sex crime charge for internet solicitation of a minor in which not only did the defendant and the victim never meet in person, but the supposed victim does not even exist?

Make no mistake: these types of charges are filed routinely in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and for those who are accused of wrongdoing, it may feel like they are the ones being solicited. A better example of real life "pre-crimes" may not exist.

Online stings help Dallas cops make arrests, keep federal funding

The FBI and the Department of Justice have partnered with law enforcement agencies in Dallas-Fort Worth to launch several joint task forces, each targeting a different type of crime. These task forces involve the sharing of information between federal and state agencies, collaboration among law enforcement officers -- and of course, a substantial contribution of federal funds to local coffers.

One of the biggest initiatives is the dramatically named "Innocence Lost Task Force", a program that is necessary, according to the FBI's website, because "the Dallas metropolis has a high incidence of child prostitution" (although empirical evidence of this "high incidence" is lacking).

Sting operations are the tip of the law enforcement spear aimed at the supposedly endemic problem of child prostitution in Dallas. In the most common conception of these schemes, a law enforcement officer poses as someone under the age of 18 on a social networking site, in a chat room or at some other web location. Once the police have a potential defendant in their sights, they engage in conversation until the content turns to sexual acts. From there, any attempt to set up a meeting could result in charges for which conviction would come with a potentially lengthy prison sentence and mandatory registration as a sex offender.

Would the individuals charged with these crimes have really solicited a minor online had the government not created a fantasy world where supposedly young "victims" were seeking out sexual partners online and driving any interactions toward the ultimate goal of a meeting? That is not addressed by the police, but the Dallas Police Department, to keep receiving the lucrative federal task force grants that provide them with a budget windfall, must justify the city's ongoing designation as an area with a "high incidence of child prostitution."

Accused of online solicitation of a minor? Get legal help -- now

While online stings in which a police officer poses as a minor are a popular vehicle to drive arrests and convictions, they are also rife with potential constitutional pitfalls. If you have been accused of internet solicitation of a minor or some other computer crime, you have rights. If law enforcement officers violated your rights in setting you up for a criminal prosecution, you have the power to do something about it: contact an aggressive Dallas criminal defense attorney today and give yourself the means to stage a strong legal defense.
