Life-Prints Introduces a New Solution for Child Identification and Protection Software

Westerly, RI (PRWEB) December 13, 2006 –

Many parents go out of their way to find technological solutions to protect their children. Some invest in current photo child ID cards, medical information bracelets and detailed record organization systems. While these are all helpful proactive measures, a new generation of child protection tools has evolved. Life-Prints is revolutionizing the way home-based technology is used to protect children by formatting critical data specifically for law enforcement purposes.

The Life-Prints’ child protection software is designed to minimize the amount of time it takes to release vital information to law enforcement authorities and to makes it easy to keep this information as current as possible. An emergency button provides built-in transmission to Law Enforcement and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Available in both single child and family versions, Life-Prints provides storage for six high-definition photos. These photos are updated and maintained at the family’s convenience. The software helps parents maintain vital identification information, physical descriptions, allergy and medical information and contact lists, including contact information for children’s schools and friends. The software is fully compatible with digital fingerprint technology in wide use today.

The developers of Life-Prints worked directly with the developers of Critical Reach, a police missing persons bulletin system serving more than 1500 law enforcement agencies nationwide, to ensure that the child safety software would work seamlessly with their system. Todd Bower, Executive Director of Critical Reach, explains, “To the extent Life Print [Life-Prints] is successful in getting parents and schools on board, it will make the very important current photo of the child more readily available to local law enforcement… it will improve response time accordingly.”

One of the most helpful features of Life-Prints is an emergency button that provides instant transmission of a child’s profile to local law enforcement and to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The software also allows unlimited printing of child ID cards, unlike annual event-based programs which don’t allow more than one per year. Life-Prints also enables the maintenance of digital fingerprint files created by any device capable of producing FBI standard EFT prints.

“When a child goes missing, what matters most is time and information,” says Sgt. Kenneth Roman, police liaison from the Poughkeepsie, NY Police Department. “A great deal of critical time is lost while parents go in search of files containing sometimes outdated photographs and or smudged fingerprint cards. With Life-Prints, parents can now immediately provide law enforcement the essential tools needed to greatly increase the odds of a successful recovery.”

For the most technologically advanced child protection software and child ID cards available today, please visit Life-Prints.com.

About Life-Prints:

Providing child identification software designed specifically for immediate use by law enforcement and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, Life-Prints is putting technology to work for today’s parents. The Life-Prints software provides unlimited child ID cards, sophisticated and detailed record keeping and tools for instant police notification if a child goes missing.

StrandVision Digital Signage Introduces Health/Wellness Animated Campaign Library for Customer/Employee Communications

Menomonie, Wis. (PRWEB) November 18, 2014

StrandVision Digital Signage (http://www.strandvision.com) today introduced its second set of pre-produced animated corporate communication templates – this time on the topic of Health/Wellness. Ideal for StrandVision Digital Signage employee communications networks (http://www.strandvision.com/employee_communications_digital_signage_software.html), the set of 50 attractive digital signage content templates is a new page type which can be easily added to StrandVision customer digital media player page mixes. The new Communications Library is also appropriate for public service announcements over customer-directed digital signage networks.

*Health/Wellness Subjects*

================================================

The Health/Wellness StrandVision Communications Campaign Library includes 50 StrandVision Digital Signage animated content pages on exercise, hygiene, healthy eating, mental wellness, prevention and other topics. Each page consists of an attractive graphic and a short, animated text message on the topic. The pages are set to random animation sequences and are added into the customer’s normal digital signage page mix with a single click to http://www.svds.co/?installimage&e=1&image=LF4FX87DK5C5X43MFA8QCKT5Y2.

Administrators simply select the Health/Wellness category on their StrandVision Content Management System (CMS) portal. They can easily define frequency and change defaults settings, such as scroll speed, to meet the needs of their particular display environments. The StrandVision system randomly selects from among the 50 health/wellness subjects and automatically mixes the selections with one of several animation sequences and inserts a different subject/animation combination on each pass of the page loop.

The Health/Wellness Library can also be combined with the previously announced StrandVision Environmental Communications Library, as well as other Communications Library subject areas as they are introduced.

The variety of subjects, combined with the randomly assigned animations, creates a dynamic presentation that keeps people focused on the digital media player screens long after the campaign page plays.

“The Health/Wellness Library offers informative, interesting content that adds attractive, easy-to-implement pages to our customers’ digital signage networks while promoting an important theme that offers helpful advice that everyone can use,” said StrandVision founder and CEO Mike Strand. “We’ve already had a tremendous response to the first environment and sustainability theme and look forward to continuing to introduce the rest of our subject categories over the coming months. The eye-catching design and animation adds to our subscribers’ presentations and can become an integral part of their overall organizational health/wellness communications campaign with virtually no effort.”

*StrandVision Animated Template Library Program*

================================================

The StrandVision Animated Template Communications Library covers 15 themes from diversity and ethics, to safety and morale, quality and time management, spanning hundreds of specific subjects. Designed for both employee communication and general public audiences, the Communications Campaign Library motivates, educates and informs digital signage viewers while demonstrating the customer organization’s commitment to worthwhile personal and corporate initiatives.

The animated templates can be displayed in full-screen or in-frame formats. Administrators can control text speed and other functions, such as scheduling and expiration.

Health/Wellness Communications Campaign Library template pages are available immediately to all StrandVision Digital Signage subscribers, as well as StrandVision Free Digital Signage Test Drive participants.

Wyndstorm Corporation Presents Secure Social Networking at National Religious Broadcasters Convention: Premier Digital Media Provider, Wyndstorm Corporation (Booth 629) Introduces Secure Interactive Social Media for Family Value Programming

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (PRWEB) March 10, 2008

    With exponential growth in social networks in all consumer interest groups (over 230 million users as of 2007, Forrester Research), faith-based organizations are actively looking for cost-effective ways to expand their channels to reach, recruit, and retain their congregations and communities. The days of traditional marketing methods are over. To compete and grow strong communities, it is essential to create an online experience where members can share information, connect, and have access to content.

At this conference, Wyndstorm will demonstrate how technology and online marketing dramatically improve results for organizations wanting to build lasting relationships between community members; create strong support communities; and engaged constituents in the market. The Wyndstorm turn-key solution provides community and faith-based organizations with pre-built, proven applications, including social networking, podcasts, profiles, interactive games, 3-D virtual environments, and audio-visual chat.

“Having built both start-up and large-scale social platforms, Wyndstorm understands the special needs of the religious and faith-based community. Our end-to-end solution combines the robust power needed to grow a high-traffic site with the ease of use features needed to attract diverse users, whether they be teenagers or senior citizens,” said Marian Sabety, President and CEO of Wyndstorm. “Wyndstorm’s social media environment is tailor-made, affordable, easy-to-manage, and safe. Site security is a priority. Wyndstorm uses effective techniques for keeping members of social networks safe, including ‘fencing’ to keep out site-crashers, and ‘positive identification’ to ensure predators are unable to pose as someone they are not. We can even track keywords in order to moderate the tone of site communications,” said Sabety.

“Today, communication, connectivity, and rich content are vital online considerations for all religious and faith-based organizations,” Sabety continued. “We are thrilled to be a part of this important niche segment event to share ways to enhance a religious community’s strength and presence in their market. We are pleased to present our services and expertise at NRB 2008, a group that respects and supports family value programming.”

Avalanche Introduces Virtual Gifts in Time for Valentine’s Day

Miami Beach, FL (PRWEB) February 11, 2009

In time for Valentine’s Day, Date.com (http://www.date.com), Matchmaker.com (http://www.matchmaker.com), and Amor.com (http://www.amor.com), leading Online Dating websites with more than 10 million members worldwide, has launched Virtual Gifts to its community. Beginning this week, singles can show interest, affection and even friendship by purchasing fun and flirty online gifts. And, as the recession continues to impact spending, sending a $ 1 virtual gift is an extremely inexpensive way to make an impression with a potential date.

“Online Dating is flourishing in this recession, and while it’s free to join our sites, create a profile and search through profiles, communication via e-mail, Instant Messenger and in the chat room requires a paid subscription. For those reticent about committing to a subscription, the Virtual Gifts option enables them to take the first step in showing and receiving interest for a fraction of the cost. Once they get the response they’re hoping for, they can communicate with the potential date by become a paying member,” said Avalanche CEO Meir Strahlberg. “This Valentine’s Day, our members have the option of showing affection and interest by spending $ 1 on a virtual bouquet of roses which will digitally last forever. Compared to $ 75, the average cost of a dozen roses, which only lasts one week, it certainly seems like a viable option for millions of online daters who may have brought a bouquet of roses to a first date in healthier economic times.”

Introducing Virtual Gifts is a recent example of Avalanche’s commitment to providing its members with new and exciting features that help enhance their online dating experience. From a business perspective, this feature will serve as another revenue stream for the Company; according to leading analysts, Virtual Gifts is an estimated $ 1.5 billion industry.

How it Works

Members purchase tokens that can be converted immediately, or at a later date, into Virtual Gifts. Online gifts, which range in price and start at $ 1, run the gamut from romantic to flirty. Everything from roses, hearts, Cupids and boxes of chocolates to martini glasses, food, stuffed animals, and even a shiny red sports car are available for purchase. Specialty items and limited edition items will be introduced in future updates of the feature.

Branded Virtual Gifts will also be available to advertisers that are looking for innovative ways to market products to online daters. Singles do not have to be paying subscribers of the sites to purchase, send or to receive Virtual Gifts. Virtual Gifts can be purchased using all major credit cards as well as via PayPal.

CradlePoint Introduces the COR IBR1100 to the European Transportation Market at Euro Bus Expo 2014

Birmingham, United Kingdom and Boise, Idaho (PRWEB UK) 4 November 2014

CradlePoint, the global leader in secure, cloud-managed, 3G/4G/LTE networking solutions for distributed enterprises, today announced the immediate availability of the CradlePoint COR IBR1100 for Europe. Ruggedised and compact, the COR IBR1100, which is E-Mark certified for in-vehicle equipment, is engineered to support and scale to the unique challenges of networking in industries such as transportation, oil and gas, utilities, and digital signage. CradlePoint is demonstrating the COR IBR1100 as a cloud-managed, in-vehicle networking solution at the 2014 Euro Bus Expo (Stand #J15).

“The CradlePoint COR IBR1100 is specifically designed to meet the rigors of the diverse and evolving applications in the transportation industry,” said Jim Lahey, Vice President and Managing Director of EMEA Operations at CradlePoint. “CradlePoint’s delivery of the COR IBR1100 capitalises on the growing demand for high bandwidth connectivity provided by 4G LTE, yet provides a fallback to 3G and 2G for seamless coverage. The CradlePoint COR IBR1100 delivers reliable wireless connectivity that streamlines operational efficiency and improves the customer experience for CradlePoint’s growing worldwide customer base.”

Whether for a fleet of buses, coaches, heavy industrial equipment or emergency services vehicles; the use of wireless is growing as digital video systems, GPS, WiFi, credit card processing, and other cloud-based applications are relied upon to streamline operations and improve the customer experience. The CradlePoint COR IBR1100 provides reliable and trusted wireless connectivity packaged in a compact and ruggedised case that endures extreme temperatures, high vibration, and wiring and electrical issues often found in vehicle deployments.

The COR IBR1100 series, like all CradlePoint networking solutions, can be managed via Enterprise Cloud Manager – a cloud-based, real-time monitoring, management, and application solution for the entirety of the mobile data fleet. This platform allows fleet vehicle IT staff a zero-touch solution for network deployment, real-time configuration changes, firmware updates, troubleshooting, status monitoring, and alerting. Cloud management greatly reduces IT overhead for maintenance and significantly decreases the need for vehicles to be “out of service” for updates and network configuration.

Developed to withstand the challenges of the mass transit and in-vehicle networking markets, the CradlePoint COR IBR1100’s high bandwidth and support of dual SIM card connectivity powers mission-critical applications with confidence. Using a modern-day bus fleet as an example, the COR IBR1100 allows buses to process payments, power bus driver tablets, manage interior and exterior digital signage, as well as deliver secure, segmented passenger and driver WiFi.

Specific differentiating features of the CradlePoint COR IBR1100 include:


    Cloud management to support remote device monitoring and configuration
    Certified 3G/4G/LTE enterprise-grade internal modems with secure dual SIM card access
    Active GPS support to monitor fleets and track assets
    High performance WiFi with dual-band, dual concurrent 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac
    Ruggedised for shock, vibrations, splash, and extreme temperatures (-30°C to +70°C)
    Wide DC voltage input range (9-36V DC)
    Ignition-sensing for power control
    Built-in transient and reverse polarity voltage protection
    Advanced security

The CradlePoint COR family also includes the COR IBR600 series, which is relied upon for broad connectivity within demanding applications, including kiosks and digital signage. CradlePoint’s introduction of the COR IBR1100 further extends CradlePoint’s market leadership in the machine-to-machine (M2M), Internet of Things (IoT), digital signage, and the connected transportation market with a cloud-managed solution that provides unparalleled monitoring, management, and security for a distributed deployment.

Today’s announcement builds upon CradlePoint’s growing presence within EMEA. CradlePoint expanded operations with the opening of a European Headquarters outside of London and the hiring of Jim Lahey.

CradlePoint will be showcasing the CradlePoint COR IBR1100LP3-EU at the Euro Bus Expo 4-6 November 2014 at the NEC Birmingham, in Birmingham, United Kingdom (Stand #J15). To receive a briefing or to learn more about CradlePoint’s suite of M2M and IoT solutions, please visit the CradlePoint website at http://www.cradlepoint.com.

John Lewandowski, Air Force Reservist and owner of Johnny Lew Sports, announced today their new Fund Raising Made Easy Program. The program offers approved organizations to earn 15% of products purchased on Johnny Lew Sports. It’s simple and easy to sign up. Once approved organizations are assigned a unique four digit code that their members can use at checkout. Once a purchase is made and the code is used the monies are automatically set aside for the charitable or group organization.

“It’s a way for us to give back”, said Lewandowski. He explained the idea came about while attending a church service. “For a long time I thought how could I give something to my customers, ideas such as throwing tail gate parties or give prizes away would always seem to exclude someone”, added the website owner. So he developed a simple program where everyone, even people who have not yet purchased from Johnny Lew Sports, can participate. The Fund Raising Program Made Easy just made sense.

It’s simple and easy. If you need to raise money for an organization or know someone who does, visit Fund Raising Made Easy for details. The overall program is this; Fill out an application and a W-9 form and once approved your organization is given a unique four digit code. Once your members place orders on Johnny Lew Sports and use the unique code at checkout (found on the shipping/billing page and can be accessed from a drop down list) 15% of their product purchase will be set aside for your group. Communicate the program to all your members and once they start buying your organization benefits. We can even help you get the word out by creating flyers, sending direct mail and email your members (upon your permission of course).

You will be provided a detailed summary of activity each month to see how much has been earned by your group. You choose when you want the funds sent to you. Checks are issued on the last day of every calendar month. Your members get great sports merchandise and your group gets 15%. It really can add up quickly, if you have 250 members and half of them place one order (avg. $ 55) you’d have over $ 1,000.

If interested, please do not hesitate to contact us. You could be set up in matter of days and earning for your group.

Others who have participated in this program have used fund raising events to pass out flyers and post cards (which we can provide). People communicate it in their monthly bulletins and on bulletin boards. You’d be amazed how fast your group can make money.

It’s better than knocking on doors selling candy and cookies. People come to our site and you earn money.

AMX Introduces New Interactive Education Technology App to Assist Campus Technology Managers

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) October 01, 2014

As part of its long-standing commitment to simplify technology management in higher education, HARMAN’s AMX introduced two new resources for university decision makers – the new AMX Campus Explorer Education App and a completely redesigned AMX Education Website – both being demonstrated in Booth #139 at this year’s EDUCAUSE 2014 Annual Conference in Orlando.

Reactions to the ease of use and immediate understandability of the new AMX Campus Explorer App have been consistent: “truly interactive”, “extremely engaging”, “anyone can use it”, “great way to imagine the possibilities”. The Campus Explorer App was built to give higher education decision makers real-world examples of the many ways that automation and control technologies can enhance the ever growing use of technology in the classroom and other higher education facilities. From being able to see how a professor might screen mirror a video from her mobile device to the projection screen of modern lecture theater to being able to interact with the technology inside a university dental school’s applied learning space; no facility, application or use of technology was overlooked in the development of this App.

Using the Campus Explorer App, users are able to experience technology management firsthand from traditional and collaborative learning facilities to wider reaching campus venues like sporting complexes, student housing and administration buildings. The App integrates precision-illustrated, cutaway views and click, touch, swipe and gesture navigation to create a simple understanding of how technology is controlled/automated, media is distributed and resources are managed. Users can choose from a variety of components and systems to customize a technology management solution for each location and a range of user interfaces to make managing the experience simple. The Campus Explorer App is available to support online users in via the AMX Education Website as well as offline planning via a new iPad App.

To further support the needs of the higher education community, the AMX Education Website was completely redesigned from the ground up. The new website further assists university administrators and IT and AV managers in the time-consuming task of researching and understanding how technology can best be used and most easily managed in the university setting. The new website is segmented into four sections that offer a very easily traversed, non-technical pathway for users of all backgrounds to discover the possibilities and understand the process of purchasing technology management solutions, tailored to the needs of higher education.

The ‘LEARN’ section of the new Website includes helpful white papers, solution guides, case studies, videos and other resources, designed to illustrate and explain exactly what’s possible when beginning the purchase process. Once a user has a good understanding of what’s possible, the “PLAN” section goes deeper to give them an opportunity to see and experience how each component of technology management can specifically benefit their campus, including the ability to customize rooms and facilities with technology and user interfaces.

“We believe the new App and Website offer higher ed decision makers a level of resources and planning tools they’ve never had in one place before,” said Sarah Kinard, AMX by HARMAN Education Marketing Manager. “Illustrating the possibilities of these solutions can often be one of the lengthiest steps in the purchasing process. Demonstrative resources like these eliminate this hurdle by providing a richly engaging experience and an App-based platform has allowed us the flexibility to continually support the needs of our users on an ongoing basis.”
