CARLSBAD, CA, September 04, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Realcomm Conference Group is pleased to announce that the 4th Annual CoRE Tech conference will be hosted at the Microsoft campus in Redmond, Washington on November 6 and 7, 2013. CoRE Tech is the premiere networking and educational event for the corporate real estate and facilities industry focusing exclusively on technology, automation and innovation.

"We are pleased to be hosting CoRE Tech 2013 at Microsoft. It's the once a year event that brings together the industry's best and brightest to collaborate on how technology is impacting the way we operate and manage our corporate real estate assets," said Darrell Smith, Director of Facilities & Energy at Microsoft. "This is a very transformational time for the industry and we are thrilled to be able to show how these technologies can be used in the corporate real estate organization to drive value."

Technology continues to impact how we design, develop, lease, manage and use corporate real estate and facilities. The business objectives, processes and, therefore, the information systems used by the real estate, facilities, energy, sustainability, IT and HR departments, all which to some extent deal with real estate and facility issues, are coming together and integrating at a much more rapid pace. The CoRE Tech program will focus on the technology influencing corporate real estate and facilities issues, such as mobility and the evolving workplace, hyper-effective real estate operations and the smart building and campus movement.

"In addition to a comprehensive CoRE Tech program, attendees will have the unique opportunity to tour the Microsoft campus and see one of the most progressive corporate facilities in the world, one that is clearly being influenced by the technology innovation inherently found at Microsoft and where some of the best practices are being developed," said Jim Young, CEO of Realcomm and the event producer.

The tour will showcase how Microsoft is operationalizing their smart building deployment. Some of the areas under consideration for the tour are Smart Campus Operations Center, Intelligent Building R&D Lab, "Commons" area and Workplace Advantage program.

CoRE Tech's theme, Embracing the Corporate Real Estate Technology REvolution - REdefining REal Estate Operations through Technology, Automation & Innovation, symbolizes the tremendous speed with which technology is affecting every department and major process in today's corporate real estate organization. The rapid rate of adoption and redefinition of business processes will revolutionize the real estate operating model and dramatically redefine how it will be owned, operated and used for the next 100 years.

New Microcerpt Platform Gaining Popularity With Indie Authors

ANACORTES, WA, September 04, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Microcerpt.com ("microcerpt"), a first-of-a-kind network of writing samples that allows potential readers to discover authors by searching excerpts, is resonating with independent (indie) authors seeking better ways to take their creativity from concept to completion and beyond. microcerpt authors have full control over the marketing, pricing, sampling and licensing of their works. The official launch of the site has seen a boost in author registrations in the past few weeks.

Capitalizing on the concept of micro-content, microcerpt creates a unique brand of social readia where authors engage readers with brief and compelling excerpts from new and existing works. Author popularity is earned solely on the basis of content quality.

The new site promises to be much more than a DIY publishing platform. In addition to basic profiles, a collaborative space fosters a sense of community where authors can create or join groups to build and interact with their fan-base or work directly with other authors, publicists and publishers. Authors can also function as readers/consumers as well as offer peer reviews and commentary on selected titles.

A premium service allows authors to further control the course and success of their literary works. For as little as $8.25 USD per month, microcerpt Pro provides the author with a custom "Digital Bookshelf" featuring his or her titles, an integrated retail store (or redirect sales to an external website), custom links and an optional professional video bio.

According to publisher, and microcerpt founder George Douglas, the platform seeks to provide undiscovered authors and their writings an equal stance in the ever-changing publishing marketplace. He further explains the rationale behind the microcerpt platform and the void it looks to fill in the broader indie space, commenting, "Traditional routes for authors to publish and promote their works are being matched and replaced by options that provide lower costs and higher literary freedoms. microcerpt aims to embrace and expand this trend by giving authors extended control and functionality, while providing readers the option to browse excerpts and discover authors based on content rather than by title, reader ratings or best-seller lists."

microcerpt is free to join, use and enjoy. The site gives authors free viral marketing tools to build readership and increase sales by providing audiences the ability to write book reviews, join book clubs, and to subscribe and connect with authors. To learn more about microcerpt or to sign up for premium author services, visit the company website.

About microcerpt.com:
microcerpt is a breakthrough, DIY publishing platform/community connecting readers and writers through a "universe of excerpts." microcerpt is based in Anacortes, Wash., and is a division of Castle Douglas Productions, LLC. More information is available at the following link: http://microcerpt.com

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA, September 04, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- An educational app that will engage children's eyes and ears with a combination of 3D animal characters, animation and games will be released. iCubis Inc. has launched the first episode of Android based English learning app for kids called 'Easy & Elly' in Android market on 31th Aug. The first episode is a story about fruit, 'Easy & Elly's FRUIT'.

'Easy & Elly's FRUIT' is an English learning app with a fox called Easy and an elephant called Elly as the leading characters. Children can learn the alphabet with 7 different types of fruit by writing on the alphabet on the screen using their fingers while listening to the native speakers. By doing this, both the English education and object learning which is necessary for toddlers are possible.

The most outstanding feature this app has is the 'Phonics' application which makes reading and writing more effective for children. When learning English, children can easily get confused by the differences between the actual sound and the letters. Phonics is a world renowned educational method which solves this confusion.

It also stands out that they used an elephant character. "Since Disney's 'Dumbo', there has been no elephant character that has been a worldwide hit." CEO Chang Wook Ki of the producing company ICubis Inc. added, "We produced an elephant character paying attention to the fact that there have not been any representative elephant characters." The fox character Easy is also special because it has a kind round looking face which is friendly to children and is different from most fox characters which are often portrayed as skinny.

'Easy & Elly's FRUIT' is the first project from ICubis Inc. They put a lot of effort into planning and development for 8 months. 'Easy & Elly's FRUIT' is also receiving good comments abroad. "Because of Hallyu, there have been continuous requests for the same app for Korean language learning," said an ICubis Inc. staff member.

ICubis Inc. has announced that they will launch 'Easy & Elly's new episodes including stories about the classroom and kitchen etc. and its IOS and IP/SMART TV version as well. Current episodes of 'Easy & Elly's FRUIT' are optimized for Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy Pad.

The company has a firm direction when it comes to producing educational contents. Their goal is to combine education and entertainment to produce Edutainment. With this target in mind, they are focusing on producing more interesting and effective educational content. As part of this, they have introduced 3D characters.

More and more children are using smart phones. Negative opinions regarding this use are increasing but realistically it is not easy for parents to restrict smart phones. "We aim to produce content that is not only educational from a parent's perspective but also interesting and encouraging to children," CEO Chang said.

4ipnet Introduces the EAP210, a Cost-Effective and Manageable Wi-Fi Access Point Ideal for Scalable WLAN Deployments

Taipei, Taiwan, September 05, 2013 --(PR.com)-- 4ipnet, a leading provider of competitive and comprehensive wireless LAN solutions for meeting the Wi-Fi demands of tomorrow, today announced the EAP210, a manageable dual-band indoor access point that offers unparalleled price performance. With the EAP210, cost-minded businesses and organizations can deploy reliable wireless infrastructure with enterprise-grade security and access control, but without the hefty price tag.

The EAP210’s IP50 rated durable metal casing is dustproof, resistant to corrosion, and impervious to fire, allowing it to be placed in any location of office buildings, hotels, or schools, whether visible or hidden. In addition, the EAP210 has three features that further contributes to its deployment flexibility. First, as a selectable dual-band AP, it can operate in either the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz frequency bands, fitting the needs of each individual environment. Second, the 802.3af PoE gigabit Ethernet interface eliminates the need for traditional power sources, allowing the AP to be placed in locations where having wired cabling is difficult. Lastly, the adjustable and removable external antenna allows the antenna angle to be adjusted to provide better service in targeted areas, or swapped out for higher or lower gain needs.

On the performance end, the EAP210 supports up to 300 Mbps data rate with its 2x2:2 MIMO solution, enabling a smooth and uninterrupted multimedia experience. Moreover, the EAP210 supports features for improving performance in high density environments, such as airtime fairness and packet delay threshold. The benefit of the two features is significant – airtime fairness ensures that legacy clients with slower transmission rates do not affect the performance of newer clients, while packet delay threshold prevents clients with poor connectivity from bogging down the entire network. Combining these features with a high transmit power of up to 27 dBm, the EAP210 is a small device that packs a powerful punch.

Finally, the EAP210’s manageability when integrated with 4ipnet WHG-series controllers enables additional value-added functions, such as centralized management of the APs in both Layer 2 and Layer 3 deployments, seamless roaming between APs, load balancing, and guest access. With the introduction of the EAP210, 4ipnet continues to provide reliable, feature-rich Wi-Fi solutions with unrivaled price performance to organizations of all types and scales.

Nerds On Site Heralds Surge in Specialized IT Career Paths

September 5, 2013, 8:13 am

≫ Next: Southwest Solutions Group Awarded Contract by Harris County District Clerk's Office to Convert Paper Records to Electronic Documents

≪ Previous: 2013 #SocialyteGala Awards

PHILADELPHIA, PA, September 05, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Outsourcing tech specialist Nerds On Site recently commented on an article on The American Conservative. The piece, "The Future of Middle Class Jobs Under the Tech Regime," outlines a few reasons as to why investing in a tech-based education coincidently offers diverse career opportunities in the computing industry.

"Since computers have become commercial and residential norms, accessible, and affordable, the amount of career positions has vastly increased," a representative with Nerds On Site reports. "Many middle-class jobs struggle with a cap on career potential, but the tech field has only gotten bigger over the past two decades to encompass new innovations in the industry. These include specialized IT, computer engineer, and design jobs for diverse industries like healthcare, law, advertising, and countless others."

According to the article, a lot of people are under the impression that computers are becoming more reliable and easier for low-skilled workers to operate and maintain. However, the article states, as computing power increases and applications branch out to every industry, there is a need for tech-savvy workers with educations. One trend the article notes is that routine computer jobs have been reduced while more opportunities for industry-specific IT positions have opened up like network security and server installation.

As much as the tech industry is expanding, the need for specialized workers with vocational training like radiology technicians, office administrators, and countless others need a basic understanding of computers in order to communicate with IT specialists. This trend works in the other direction as well, and many middle-tier technology workers require training in the diverse fields they work in.

Another reason IT specialists are emerging from routine employees is because of the tech industry's push for continuing education. Between network certifications like Cisco, Microsoft, and various programming languages, IT employees are often encouraged to go back for continuing education. Certifications are like mini-degrees for tech employees, the article says. For one, a collection of certifications proves that tech worker shows adequate knowledge about any given system. More importantly for the worker, however, is the fact that certifications are a great way to get a pay bump or promotion within the industry itself.

"Employees who seek out additional education and certifications in any field are more likely to be noticed by upper management and do their jobs better," Nerds On Site says. "This is especially important in the IT industry because technology changes all of the time and, in order to stay above the curve, we need educated, forward-thinking techs with the ability to pick up new trends in the industry."

According to the article, there are many tech-based jobs in the computing industry that only touch on routine tech maintenance. These positions require a blend of computing ability, creativity, and intuition, three skills that help in the IT industry itself. Careers in engineering, online advertising, design, medicine, and countless others marry technology to the given profession. Nerds On Site says that tech jobs will only surge upwards and are a great way to start a promising, life-long career.

ABOUT:

Canada-based Nerds On Site is an industry-leading IT outsourcing company. Since 1995, clients in the United States, United Kingdom, Mexico, South Africa, Bolivia, and other countries throughout the world have accessed the company's IT professionals. The company encourages its employees to have a combination of industry certification and real-world experience.

Tabbuli, Charleston Restaurant, Embraces "Next Wave of Social" Among Mobile Consumers

September 5, 2013, 8:13 am

≫ Next: Facebook flub: Online post leads to an arrest

≪ Previous: Southwest Solutions Group Awarded Contract by Harris County District Clerk's Office to Convert Paper Records to Electronic Documents

PHILADELPHIA, PA, September 05, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- As a restaurant that continues to prove a favorite among Charleston professionals, families, friends and visitors, Tabbuli remains a spot that captures the spirit of social engagement. However, while most of the social engagement found at Tabbuli is shared over tapas dishes, exceptional drinks and first-rate customer service, the restaurant also recognizes that the fast development of mobile culture is playing a major role in the way consumers are driven to eat.

A recent article from Nation's Restaurant News examines the rapid transition happening amongst social and mobile platforms, as well as the restaurants and consumers that utilize them. The article explains, "Restaurant customers are increasingly shifting their attention from Facebook and Twitter to other social media platforms, according to data from the latest Restaurant Social Media Index. Location- and mobile-oriented platforms such as Vine, dominated by smartphone users, are starting to nose into the territory once held by social media power players like Facebook and Twitter, according to Paul Barron, founder and chief executive of RSMI creator DigitalCoCo."

While Tabbuli has remained present on social media to stay involved with the highly active Charleston community, the restaurant has also found that participating in the "next wave of social"--as Barron explains in the article--is essential to development. Listing some of the top national chains in this rising culture of mobile engagement--which has increased by an estimated 300 percent in the past year--the article explains just what is putting some restaurants ahead of their competitors. Barron states, "In most cases, they either have an active mobile app, a mobile website or--what we actually think is more prevalent--they actually have more mobile users. It's a stronger user base within their demographic...Some of these brands just tend toward the smartphone user, where you'll see most of your traffic in social."

Tabbuli remains a contender in this area of growth, as it not only has a specific website designed for mobile users, but it also has many impressive features for those socializing on the go. For instance, Tabbuli has introduced its very own app, free for download on iOS that connects users to the menu and other pertinent information related to the restaurant. Utilizing ChowNow, the Charleston, South Carolina venue also allows customers to conveniently place orders to go either from their smartphone, tablet or computer.

"We understand that the way people connect and find places to socialize is changing dramatically. This is important to us, not only for our local customers, but for those who may be visiting Charleston and looking for an exceptional place to eat while visiting town. As the exciting world of mobile culture continues to develop, we look forward to serving up fresh, tantalizing dishes to those parties looking for an exceptional social experience," Tabbuli concludes in a recent press statement.

ABOUT:
Located on the historic Market St. in Charleston, South Carolina, Tabbuli is one highly-rated restaurant that brings Mediterranean flair to the southern seaside. With varied brunch, lunch and dinner menus, this restaurant and hookah lounge serves as a great spot for friends to relax and enjoy conversation over a delicious meal. While there are many single entrees to be enjoyed for the diner with a refined palate, this hot spot also features tapas-style dining options that are perfect for sharing. With a healthy kid's menu and a fully-stocked bar with delicious drink specials, this restaurant continues to prove a favorite for both family and late-night crowds in the Charleston area.

Facebook flub: Online post leads to an arrest

≪ Previous: Tabbuli, Charleston Restaurant, Embraces "Next Wave of Social" Among Mobile Consumers

September 05, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A motorist is typically busted for drunk driving on the streets. In many cases, a routine traffic stop can evolve into an investigation. However, what if a person was under the influence of alcohol while driving, made it home, and was subsequently busted after alerting friends of the illegal whereabouts? This can happen. It is called Facebook.

An arrest after a Facebook confession

According to The Oregonian, in early 2013, an Oregon motorist crashed into two cars while driving under the influence of alcohol. After the accidents, the driver fled the scene; however, he left small pieces of his damaged vehicle behind. Nevertheless, the man ultimately made it back to his home the night of the incidents.

Perhaps the buzz of this young motorist had had not worn off, because that same night, the driver posted via Facebook -- to 600 of his buddies -- that he drove drunk and hit two vehicles earlier that night.

At the time, the police had already been in the process of investigating the hit and runs. When an officer received a Facebook tip and phone message regarding the motorist's post, investigators moved in on the man at his home. When they arrived, there were several indications of damage, consistent with the hit and run, which were on the suspect's car.

What many individuals do not know is that police in Oregon have a presence on social media. Every time someone posts something in an online venue, authorities may be looking. Information is not as private as it appears.

An investigation beyond the road

This story serves as a lesson and reminder that a criminal investigation for drunk driving does not have to begin on the road. Police use varied types of evidence to pin a suspect to illegal activity.

In an age when individuals document and recount everything in the online world, officers are using this type of evidence more and more. Everything is exact and tracked in the electronic age. Text messages, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and other online sites can place an individual at a particular place, and at a particular time. Moreover, pictures and posts can be suggestive of illegal activity, but incorrect. For this reason, individuals should be especially cautious about posting material online.

If you have been charged with a serious crime, it may help to have a criminal defense attorney by your side. A lawyer can assess all evidence that is brought against you in your matter.

Current Trends in Human Resources Win Attention from Industry Pro John Sillup, Discusses Evolution of Profession

September 5, 2013, 8:13 am

≫ Next: Build Economical Switch System with Model ESL’s Model 9060 Modular Switches

≪ Previous: Facebook flub: Online post leads to an arrest

PHILADELPHIA, PA, September 05, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- As a manager-ready human resources advisor at Development Dimension International, John Sillup has witnessed how business technology trends have impacted his career field. In addition, as a student currently completing his Master of Arts in Public Administration, Sillup has found that technological innovations are playing a greater role in how human resource professionals are likely to evolve alongside the companies they are designed to serve.

To highlight just how noticeable these changes are, John Sillup highlights a recent article from Forbes that assesses the "top 10 HR technology trends for 2014." Many of the trends include recent tech innovations that have been widely used in many other professional fields, including that of cloud computing. Specifically, the article states, "HR data is secure in the cloud. When it's done right, cloud is just as secure as onsite, on-premise software solutions." For Sillup, this move is essential as he says HR is all about integration and consolidation, without it there would not be HR.

Another trend, that Sillup believes is worth noting, is the continued implementation of gamification--or the use of gaming functionality to better engage a workplace community for greater productivity. The article explains, "Gamification is here to stay. Especially for millennials, gamification is the best way for employers to communicate, engage, train, attract, and retain top talent."

John Sillup adds, "The article is on target with gamification; however, it is not a necessarily new idea to the workplace or HR operations. Rather, it is a reconditioned way of unleashing the natural exigencies of employee's abilities. Simply put, gamification may have a new face, but HR professionals have always sought out creative solutions to inspire and better communicate with employees to improve overall productivity."

Noting the importance of proper communication within the workplace, Sillup explains that contact between HR and employees may also be "taking a new face." For instance, Forbes suggests,

"Integrated social media will result in better communication and collaboration. Software that embeds social media capabilities across daily processes, (as opposed to separate platforms), with internal and external colleagues is the optimal collaborative tool...Virtualization and globalization are transforming the workplace. Remote working arrangements will continue to proliferate expanding outside country boundaries forcing employers to be more innovative in how they use collaboration tools."

While technology may be pushing these trends to the forefront of HR duties, John Sillup concludes by noting, "The 10 trends found in the Forbes article can be synthesized into just one trend--HR is going to evolve into its own corporate entity as it adopts these technologies for greater cohesiveness."

ABOUT:

John Sillup has served as a manager-ready human resources advisor for Development Dimension International since March of 2012. In this role, Sillup relies on his extensive fluency in the French language, as well as his remarkable assessment skills, to interview managerial candidates for the company. He is required to determine whether or not these individuals are capable of leading teams, developing business acumen and handling a variety of complex situations. In addition to this position, Sillup is noted as the President Executive of Society of Our Lady, a noted nonprofit that assisted local community members and families with a variety of charitable services. Sillup holds a Bachelors of Arts in Philosophy from University of Steubenville, a Master of Divinity from Seton Hall University and is currently pursuing a Master of Arts degree in Public Administration.

Conventional search solutions mostly deliver an abundance of search results and make it time consuming to filter out the right information. Mindbreeze InSite works differently. Semantic search requests combined with intuitive and easy operation enable website visitors to effortlessly find the right information in a matter of seconds. Shops, blogs, portals and other websites can be integrated into one search. Therefore, with just one search request InSite delivers an overall picture of all the available information on the searched topic. Website operators can also use InSite to automatically display and update content on predefined pages or sections.” – Daniel Fallmann, Mindbreeze founder and CEO.

“Mindbreeze InSite impressed the panel with its clear focus on customer-oriented innovation. Cutting edge search technology combined with high usability and intuitive design, resulting ultimately in optimum value for website visitors and administrators – create a customized website search in a few seconds.” – Hugh McKellar, KMWorld editor-in-chief.

Mindbreeze InSite

Mindbreeze InSite is easy to integrate since only the pre-defined embed code for the search field and the creation of the index needs to be integrated. New content is automatically added to the index and is instantly available as a search result. Semantic search queries and relevance models deliver “intelligent” results. Preview thumbnails visualize the results and ensure a quick overview. Besides the search functionality, “Information Pairing” technology, developed by Mindbreeze, enables website content editors to integrate dynamic content on pages or sections. Based on search results, information from different areas is optimally linked and displayed as a newsflash, for example. These newsflashes are updated automatically to produce “live” content. The results are displayed directly on the website and not as with conventional search queries. The search is designed as a cloud service and is ready-for use within a few minutes.
