Reduce & Reuse This Holiday Season, Green Is Not Just a Color Anymore

Mansfield, MA (PRWEB) December 18, 2013

Since 1940, Miller Recycling has been dedicated to waste reduction, recycling and solving material handling problems for its many diverse customers. Miller Recycling has become a leading provider of environmental technologies based on innovation, quality and most important satisfied customers.

The holiday season means an increase in trash; the more you shop, the more you throw away. This holiday Miller Recycling would like to share a few simple recycling tips.

Christmas:


Consider gifts that keep on giving as a battery charger, a perpetual calendar or an erasable message board. Gift certificates for movies, theaters or restaurant are also “waste-free” gifts.
Use reusable shopping bags and minimize the amount of petroleum used to make plastic bags. If you do get plastic bags you can always bring them to your local grocery store. (contact them first)
Create a family legacy by buying durable toys made from wood or metal. Metal and wooden gifts can be passed from generation to generation, becoming family heirlooms. The Antique roadshow is proof of that!
Considering gifting electronics, remember to properly recycle your old ones. Contact your local recycling center to see what they take in.
Give two gifts in one by using baskets, fabric bags, scarves or pillowcases to wrap gifts. Sunday comics make colorful gift wrap for children’s packages and adults too.

New Years:

Start the New Year off with a bang by making waste reduction your number one New Year’s resolution. Waste reduction and recycling is not just for the holidays. It’s easier than working out; you can make that your #2.
Score big when watching the Super Bowl by eliminating disposable plates and cups from your “tail-gate” party. Use cloth napkins to add fun to your meals as you cheer for your favorite team.

Please call 1-800-783-6766 for details of ongoing Recycling Programs. Pickup service is available for large quantities and commercial accounts.

Digital Signage Hardware: Integral Part of Signage solutions

Information can be relayed to consumers and potential customers in real time using out of home advertising. Digital signage hardware, software and content together make up the solution used for this form of advertising. Using this technology, a retailer can control and display the information quickly and effectively and can target a specific audience at specific locations in real time. Content can be rapidly updated without any additional investment offering higher rate of returns than in static forms of advertising. Since content can be updated quickly without additional costs, this technology is a more preferred medium over the static technology used in advertising.

Both software and content cannot work independently until there is a medium to display the information. This is where the hardware plays a major role in digital signage technology. CRTs, plasma displays, LED, DLP, Video walls and LCD displays can all be used to display the information and content which can be in the form of data, animations, images, video and multimedia. Software on the other hand comprises the core of the solution. It supports the most popular industry standard file formats such as Flash files, Video, HTML, QuickTime, Microsoft Office, and JPG. It can be customized based on the nature of targeted information and used to control either a single or multiple interfaces. Content can be regularly updated manually, through a scheduling system, or by linking in with an outside feed so that appropriate messages are displayed.

An amalgamation of digital software and digital signage hardware and content, the digital signage solutions require a thorough understanding of the network and bandwidth availability for successful deployment. These solutions can be controlled through IP and content can be changed and updated from any location by just using a web connection. Two important points to be kept in mind while using this solution are that the system which is being used for this technology should be able to operate on the network without affecting normal operations and should also have the capacity to accommodate growth irrespective of how diverse or complex the future requirements may be. Due to their flexibility and profitability, these solutions are being used globally, increasing the demand for the digital signage hardware products.

Bonfire Labs :30 Spot for RICOH THETA 360 Makes Heads Spin During Womens British Open

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) July 17, 2014

Creative content agency Bonfire Labs’ new :30 television spot, “Beauty Is All Around,” created for RICOH THETA 360˚ camera, made its U.S. debut this past weekend during the Women’s British Open on ESPN. The spot, which debuted as a digital 3-minute concept video on Sept. 5, 2013, made such an impact that Ricoh chose to take it from online to broadcast. The spot has already aired in Japan, and now begins its national American run.

The :30 spot can be viewed and embedded here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tDT6-m4BAY&feature=youtu.be.

Ricoh first approached Bonfire Labs in early 2013 to help launch their amazing new camera called the RICOH THETA, which shoots a 360˚ (spherical) image.

The agency’s assignment was to engineer a tagline, website, concept/inspirational video, and a how-to video for the worldwide launch. Working with the Ricoh product team in both the U.S. and Japan, Bonfire was challenged with introducing the product in a way that was as innovative as the product itself.

Bonfire rose to the challenge by incorporating the street appeal of freestyle public art in a 360˚ environment. Bonfire secured a large studio to provide a blank slate for acclaimed muralist, Sirron Norris, to express his art. Over a two-day period, Sirron prepped and painted the space. The process was seamlessly captured using the RICOH THETA, with the assistance of a tiny robot, the “roboTap 3000,” that Bonfire Labs created to generate a time-lapsed image capture of the artistic process.

The resulting video displayed the ease of use and visual appeal of the camera while piquing the interest of its intended target audience with cool, creative subject matter.

Starting with a live action “concept” video, the animated “how to” video and continuing with a responsive design for the micro site, Bonfire’s campaign tagline “Beauty Is All Around” informed all the creative for the launch.

“The original digital creative for this spot resonated with Ricoh’s target audience,” said Carey Crosby, Executive Producer at Bonfire Labs. “Our team worked to hard make sure the broadcast creative made as much of an impression on audiences as the longer online version did.”

Wayfinding Signage

Wayfinding signage is exactly what it sounds like: signs that help you find your way around cities, buildings, and offices. First coined by architect Kevin Lynch in his book entitled “The Image of the City” that was published in 1960, the term “wayfinding devices” was first used to refer to maps, street numbers and directional signs. Nothing is so frustrating as arriving on-time for an appointment and then being late for a meeting because it is impossible to find the location of the conference room. If you add to that physical and visual handicaps that also impair the ability of some people to successfully navigate unfamiliar territory, you will easily recognize the need for logical, clearly printed signs.

That is why today’s leading designers of directional signage need to be masters of a variety of disciplines: art, engineering, architecture, social science, law, marketing, and project planning. A well-executed signage plan incorporates the branding, logo, and marketing mission of a company into a unified whole that instantly creates an aura of success, expertise, and dedication to quality for everyone who walks through the door. Many of these signs have to follow legal parameters in design as well as location and installation. It is important to provide visually-impaired clients and associates a safe place to tactilely read the sign, out of the way of swinging doors and pedestrian traffic.

All of the signs your company uses should be part of this unified presentation from the architectural signage outside to window and door graphics, to ADA signage as well as all of your interior signs. Done well everyone who walks in your door will know what you do, your guiding philosophy, the attention you pay to details, and the value you place on your customers without your sales force even having to say a word. A unified branding across all the signage your company uses will allow your representative to create a space on a gymnasium floor that is uniquely branded as yours.

A successful implementation of wayfinding signs as part of your branding signage will:
* insure that a visitor can easily see the starting point and can conceptualize the destination;
* identify the current location at points along the way;
* offer reassurance that the visitor is going in the correct direction along the way;
* help the visitor identify any potential hazards along the way;
* and will identify the destination upon arrival.

Kaiser International is an established sign company that really knows signs and wayfinding signage(s) .

Tips For Posting on a Christian Message Board

Actually, these suggestion would help on any Message Board. Give them a try.

1. It is OK if your post is a one liner like “I’ll be praying” or “You made a good point”. What is a poor practice in posting is making one liner statements like “That’s just plumb dumb” or “That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard”. All you will get out of statements like that is a bad response and most likely a warning from a Moderator.

2. Always consider what you’ve written before you press the post button. You may never know what you may have omitted from a sentence that may make what you are saying totally opposite to what you really wanted to say.

3. If you’re angry with the person you are posting to, is right now the time to post or would after a bit of reflection be better. If the reason you are angry is personality conflict, maybe posting back to them isn’t the best course of action. Someone may be rough and not even realize it. Maybe asking a Moderator or Admin to talk to them for you or maybe some other person not involved being a mediator will be the way to make peace. Each situation is different and you what may work in one situation may not in another.

4. Try not to wonder far off the beaten path when participating in conversations. Keep the conversation in the area related to the Original Post (OP). If you go down too many rabbit trails with the conversation, you are doing a dis-service to the one who started the threads original intent. If you want to go down another pathway, start a new thread addressing that rabbit trail.

5. Don’t assume anything if there seems a problem with another poster. Ask them to clarify what they are saying before you do anything else. You may even send them a private message before you continue on… If you find the poster you have a problem with is just being plain out mean or unChristian like, Report the post…

These are just a few suggestions to have a peaceful visit to these places.

Restaurant Digital Signage ? Digital Menu Boards

Corn Digital provides restaurant digital signage that transformed static menus to dynamic displays with a variety of contents to attract customers, and allows other advantages such as web-based editable menus, schedulable playlists, scrolling text messages with RSS feeds and many more that provides flexibility for restaurant managements to change menu item, price, and promotions faster and easier.

 

Traditional static menu board before digital signage requires the rotation from one sign to another when needing changes from one daypart to another, and items that are sold out or no longer carried were often still left on the board, covered by tape, or crossed out by marker. However, since the beginning of digital signage, not only have restaurant menu boards been transformed from static to dynamic displays with a variety of contents to attract customers, but they also have other advantages such as web-based editable menus, schedulable playlists, scrolling text messages with RSS feeds and many more that provides flexibility for restaurant managements to change menu item, price, and promotions faster and easier.

 

One of the fast growing yogurt chain stores has been adopting Corn Digital’s digital signage not only as their menu board but also as their in-store marketing display for promotions and launching product awareness campaigns. With Corn Digital’s Ceres-88 media player and a low cost 42-inch display mounting on the wall behind the counter, the space which they can only place one poster can now display multiple images and videos.

 

Moreover, with the web-based content management platform, they can make changes to the display anytime from anywhere. Jihane Mahani, one store manager states “. . . I wanted to . . . share the great experience Yogurt Blast had working with Corn Digital. We are very happy with our Digital Menu Board and personally extremely satisfied with the wonderful customer service. I would absolutely work again, and again, with Corn Digital. Thank you . . .”

 

Another Japanese ramen franchise in the Los Angeles area is also giving Corn Digital’s digital menu board a try at their newly opened food court location inside a shoppong mall. With three 42” LCD displays mounting on the walls behind the cash registers as digital menu board, and another one at the front entrance as welcome sign and marketing display with promotions, specials, and store events. Customer have been extremely satisfy with Corn Digital’s web-based content management interface which requires no installation, is easy to use, allows one-click remote web updating, and menu editing features. Without hiring any additional staff, the store manager has been able to utilize current staff to update menu items, pricing, and images for these digital menu boards.

 

These are just two examples of Corn Digital’s successful restaurant digital signage deployments. Almost all of our clients who installed digital menu boards are satisfied with their attention-grabbing appeal which leads to increase in overall customer experiences and sales amounts.
