Assistive Mobility Devices Designed by Mobility Research Now Offered by Rehabmart.com
Rehabmart.com
Elberton, GA (PRWEB) March 02, 2012
Rehabmart.com, an online e-commerce company that sells rehabilitation and medical supplies, has joined into a distribution partnership with Mobility Research, Incorporated, to offer assistive mobility devices to a larger consumer market. Headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, Mobility Research is a company comprised of rehabilitation professionals dedicated to the transfer of the latest research and technology knowledge to the rehabilitation arena. This experienced team of educators, clinicians, researchers and engineers work to provide education, products and rehabilitation solutions for adult and pediatric populations with motor control-related disabilities. They design and manufacture the LiteGait® collection of products, used in treating stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, head injury, amputation, orthopedic problems, arthritis, balance issues and chronic pain.
The LiteGait® mobility frames are mutually beneficial for rehabilitation facilities, therapists and patients. Facilities can increase efficiency and revenue by growing the number of patients receiving gait therapy, by reducing the risk of back injuries to staff and the risk of falls to patients, and by offering therapy to patients not previously eligible for gait therapy due to the complexity or severity of their conditions or cognitive levels. Therapists can provide more efficient treatment, without the risk of injury to themselves or their patients, and more properly and effectively facilitate a wide variety of gait, balance and alignment therapies. And patients can experience a sense of accomplishment with this supported suspension, learning to walk in an environment free from falls. The LiteGait® allows the patient to begin training earlier in the rehabilitation process, and at a lower level, while offering improved interaction with the therapist.
Available in a multitude of sizes, styles and specifications, the LiteGait® also offers a pediatric version for children in supported gait training and pre-gait developmental postures and movements. When employed as a dynamic stander, the LiteGait Walkable® 100MX mobility frame enables children who cannot stand without assistance to interact more easily with others and their environment. “We are proud to offer these amazing assistive mobility devices to more consumers,” said Hulet Smith, Founder and CEO of Rehabmart. “The LiteGait® products from Mobility Research are used in hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, physical therapy centers, resident care homes and private homes and are extremely useful for any patient challenged with mobility issues.”
About Rehabmart.com:
As Occupational Therapists, the founders of Rehabmart have the breadth of knowledge and experience necessary to match the needs of its customers with the very latest innovative products in the field of medical supplies and rehabilitation equipment. As parents of special needs children, they have a personal interest in finding the best products to improve the lives of those who are disabled and medically challenged.

SolarBOS Announces New ReCombiners with Disconnects, Contactors and GFI
LIVERMORE, CA (PRWEB) March 05, 2012
SolarBOS, Inc., a leader in electrical ‘Balance of System’ solutions for the solar industry, is pleased to announce their new line of ReCombiners for large commercial and utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems. The new ReCombiners are listed to UL 1741 for up to 1000 VDC and 2560 amps. They can also be specified with disconnects or contactors that meet the new fuse servicing requirements of the 2011 National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 690.16.B.
The new SolarBOS ReCombiners can also be specified with the industry’s first true Ground Fault Interruption (GFI) solution for PV systems in North America. By using a differential current sensor(s) to detect leakage current in the array wiring, the ReCombiners can be set to automatically disconnect the un-grounded conductors as soon as a single-sided ground fault is detected. This eliminates the possibility of a “double ground fault” fire and provides a true GFI solution for PV systems.
RCG-08-200C-N3: SolarBOS Contactor ReCombiner with 8 x 200-amp Inputs and GFI.
In addition to the new functionality, the new ReCombiners are more compact and economical to manufacture than previous designs, thereby resulting in lower equipment costs for SolarBOS’ customers. The new ReCombiners can be found on the company’s website at http://www.solarbos.com/products.php.
About SolarBOS
SolarBOS is an industry leader in the design and manufacture of electrical ‘Balance of System’ (BOS) products and is the first and only pure play BOS combiner company with a history of developing first-to-market disruptive technologies. With over 750MW of PV projects supported to date, SolarBOS has designed, built, and provided products to most of the major solar energy leaders in the United States and Canada. SolarBOS’ solutions allow system designers, engineers, and project managers the ability to configure their PV systems the way that makes the most sense for their projects.

Securing Las Vegas: New B.I.G Security Booth Graces City Center Complex
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 22, 2012
City Center at Las Vegas is 76 acres of exuberant, unabashed luxury. So when designers and developers required a security booth that would complement the style of its towering Panorama Condominium Complex, they commissioned B.I.G. Enterprises, Inc. (http://www.bigbooth.com) to fabricate it. Two stories high, sheathed in sleek metal, and fronted with a contemporary window grid, the booth epitomizes architectural harmony, melding seamlessly with its surroundings.
Not simply a formidable first line of defense, a guard shelter or booth can also make a refined architectural statement, belying the fact that it may house armed guards, surveillance cameras, robust HVAC systems and myriad electronics. The B.I.G. booth at City Center represents a world class, sophisticated style, one that is helping to shape the modern Las Vegas.
“We were pleased to work with the largest hotel/retail construction project in Las Vegas. Because of our commitment to non-cookie cutter guard shelters, we knew our collaboration with them would produce something pretty unusual.” said Vice President David King.
This unit features heavy insulation in the walls and roof, dual pane insulating glass with Low-E coating, commercial roof mounted HVAC with 3 ton output, all for the severe desert climate.
Additional features include a fully equipped restroom, custom lighting inside the booth and in the upper level to enhance the architectural detail of the upper glass area at night. Built-in counters, shelves, all electrical for data/communications and an impact, fade, chemical and graffiti resistant polyurethane paint finish attest to the completeness and structural integrity of the booth.
Utilizing a proprietary “Critical Span” manufacturing technique, the B.I.G. Two-Story Guard Booth’s galvanized steel construction meets or exceeds ASTM B500 specifications, and all welds meet or exceed AWS-D1.3 and A5.18 standards.
All B.I.G. booths include U.L. approved fixtures and are manufactured in strict compliance with NEC and I.B.C specifications. They meet the local building code standards of every major area in the United States, and around the globe.
About B.I.G. Enterprises:
Since 1963, B.I.G. Enterprises, Inc. of California has engineered and manufactured a comprehensive line of high quality, high-end, prefabricated security and revenue control booths. Their state-of-the-art selection of pre-assembled buildings include: guardhouses, cashier booths, portable shelters, and a variety of custom-made kiosks.

Presidential Candidates Harness The Power of Email Marketing
Elite Email
New York, NY (PRWEB) February 28, 2012
Republican Presidential candidates are extensively using email marketing to help foster relationships and distribute information in a bid to win the party leadership, according to a study by Elite Email. “In new-age politics, campaigning is no longer just focused on traditional media and lawn signs,” says Robert Burko, President of Elite Email. “Now, more so than ever, political campaigns are contested heavily in the digital landscape”. The 2008 presidential election saw the emergence of email marketing and social media as a campaign tool. In 2012, these online avenues are becoming a core part of every campaign.
The four Republican candidates reviewed in the email marketing study all prominently displayed their email mailing list signup forms and buttons on their website:
Mitt Romney’s website had an intro page (also called a “splash page”) that prompts visitors to “Get updates from Mitt’s campaign” by supplying their email address and zip code. If you miss or skip the call-to-action on the splash page, Romney reminds you again on the header of every page of the site, where there is a big button to sign-up for “Email Updates”.
Rick Santorum’s website has a call-to-action box located on the right column of his homepage titled “Join The Fight”, with a link to “E-Mail Sign-Up”. Santorum requests more information than Romney and asks people to enter their name, full mailing address and phone number, but only the email address is required.
Newt Gingrich’s website has an intro page with a call-to-action to “Sign The Petition” (for domestic oil drilling). He asks for name, zip code and email address, with all fields being required. Gingrich has also embedded the email marketing signup form as part of the header on every page of his website. It seems as though signing the petition also enrolls the new subscriber on the general mailing list. This goes against email marketing best practices, because when using a reputable email marketing software, one of the objectives is to clearly inform people what they are signing up for. In this case, there is no way to infer that a person who signs the petition also wants to receive other emails.
Ron Paul’s website has button at the top of every page labeled “Receive Updates”. When visitors click on this button, they are asked for their name, email address, phone number and zip code. Only email address and zip code are required.
The analysis by Elite Email specifically highlights the information that is requested when joining the candidates email mailing list because one of the benefits of an email marketing campaign is being able to specifically target the message to the correct set of individuals. By asking for zip code, the candidate is able to send emails related to activities, events, and voting dates in that person’s specific location. If the candidate only has the email address, then he is limited to sending general broadcasts to everyone, and thus not leveraging the true power of an email marketing software. It is also noteworthy that only Santorum and Paul’s website prompted the visitor for a phone number as well, so that the information could be used for email marketing and phone marketing initiatives.
The Elite Email study also looked at the ‘thank you page’, or the page that appears after a user signs up for a mailing list. Santorum and Gingrich’s websites rank first in email marketing effectiveness, cleverly bringing the new subscriber to a donation page, and thus quickly capitalizing on this new subscriber relationship. Romney’s website simply posts a thank you message, which is good etiquette, although not as beneficial towards achieving digital campaign goals. Paul’s website comes in last, as it does not give any sort of sign-up confirmation.
In addition, the analysis looked at specific tactics used by the candidates immediately after joining the mailing list. One of the primary tactics in small business email marketing is to send an immediate welcome email to the new subscriber that contains useful information. Not one candidate sent this welcome email, which represents a missed opportunity to put vital information in the subscriber’s inbox right away.
Based on email marketing best practices, candidates should be using a double opt-in process whereby the first email sent to new subscribers prompts them to click a confirmation email to confirm their intent to join the mailing list. This prevents someone from being incorrectly signed up for a mailing list. Only Ron Paul’s website sent this confirmation email. The rest of the candidates activated the email mailing list subscription without any further confirmation at all. This opens up the candidates to unknowingly sending spam, which is something that could have been easily avoided. That is precisely why Internet service providers all strongly suggest or require the double opt-in or closed loop subscription process.

Paralympic Games to be Opened by The Queen
Paralympic Games to be opened by The Queen
(PRWEB) March 01, 2012
With six months to go to the Opening Ceremony of the Paralympic Games, the London Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) is delighted to confirm that Her Majesty The Queen, accompanied by His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, will open the London 2012 Paralympic Games in the Olympic Stadium on Wednesday 29 August.
With the role of The Queen in the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games on Friday 27 July already established, The Queen, accompanied by The Duke of Edinburgh, will now open both Games. As Head of State, The Queen will proclaim the Paralympic Games open by saying: ‘I declare open the London 2012 Paralympic Games’.
This will be the first time The Queen has opened a Paralympic Games. In 1976 the Queen opened the Montreal Olympic Games and in 1956 The Duke of Edinburgh (on behalf of The Queen) opened the Melbourne Olympic Games.
The 1984 Paralympic Games were officially opened by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales. These Games were held in both Europe and North America, with the Opening Ceremony in Stoke Mandeville, Buckinghamshire – the birthplace of the Paralympic Games.
LOCOG Chair Seb Coe said: ‘This summer we will be hosting the largest Paralympic Games ever and the Opening Ceremony on 29 August will be a fantastic event. The Paralympic Games will undoubtedly be a time of extraordinary pride for our nation, and it is fitting that Her Majesty will declare us underway.’
International Paralympic Committee President Sir Philip Craven said:
‘I am delighted that Her Majesty The Queen will be opening the Paralympic Games, further underlining the significance and status of these Games not just to the Commonwealth but to the whole world.’
Notes to editors:
Further detail on the Opening Ceremonies can be found here: http://www.london2012.com/games/ceremonies/the-ceremonies/opening-ceremonies.php
Stoke Mandeville as birthplace of the Paralympic Games:
In 1948, Dr Ludwig Guttmann organized a wheelchair archery competition at Stoke Mandeville hospital for World War II soldiers with spinal cord injuries. The competition took place between sports clubs and other hospitals on the same day as the Opening Ceremony of the London 1948 Olympic Games. Four years later, as more sports were added, athletes from Holland joined in and the international Paralympic Movement was born.
For further information please contact the London 2012 Press Office.
London 2012 Games partners:
The Worldwide Olympic Partners who support the London 2012 Olympic Games and the National Olympic Committees around the world are Coca-Cola, Acer, Atos, Dow, GE, McDonald’s, Omega, Panasonic, Procter and Gamble, Samsung and Visa.
LOCOG has seven domestic Tier One Partners – adidas, BMW, BP, British Airways, BT, EDF and Lloyds TSB. There are seven domestic Tier Two Supporters – Adecco, ArcelorMittal, Cadbury, Cisco, Deloitte, Thomas Cook and UPS. There are now twenty-eight domestic Tier Three Suppliers and Providers – Aggreko, Airwave, Atkins, Boston Consulting Group, CBS Outdoor, Crystal CG, Eurostar, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP, G4S, GSK, Gymnova, Heathrow Airport, Heineken UK, Holiday Inn, John Lewis, McCann Worldgroup, Mondo, NATURE VALLEY, Next, Nielsen, Populous, Rapiscan Systems, Rio Tinto, Technogym, Thames Water, Ticketmaster, Trebor and Westfield.
There is one domestic Tier One Paralympic Games-only Partner, Sainsbury’s and one domestic Tier Three Paralympic Games-only Supplier, Otto Bock. The London 2012 Paralympic Games also acknowledges the support of the National Lottery.

SQUARE SHOOTERS–A Game With the First Deck of Cards on Dice–Wins a Coveted Dr. Toy Award
The Square Shooters basic game set includes 9 dice, game cards, 100 chips, a storage pouch, and instructions.
Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) October 17, 2010
Heartland Consumer Products, a leading manufacturer of playing cards including the popular Vegas® brand, announces the launch of Square Shooters®. Square Shooters® is a great new family game featuring the first deck of cards on dice!
Square Shooters® is an amazing new invention that should have been thought of a long time ago. People love card games. People love dice games. Why not put the playing cards on the dice?
Carmelyn Calvert invented Square Shooters® in a classic story of innovation. She realized that nine dice would fit 54 printed images which matched a standard 52-card deck plus 2 jokers. She wondered why nobody had ever tried it before.
“I knew that for the dice to be as marketable as a deck of cards,” Ms. Calvert says, “you had to be able to roll the important poker hands. I stayed up all night to see if I could lay out the dice in a way that you could roll every straight and royal flush—I was shocked to find out that you could!” The patent-pending dice are specially designed so that you can roll winning hands for poker, rummy, blackjack, war, and more.
Ms. Calvert signed an exclusive, global licensing agreement for Square Shooters® with Heartland in March 2010.
“While you can play countless games with the Square Shooters® dice,” says Tom Donelan, President & CEO of Heartland, “the award-winning Square Shooters® game is a fast, fun way for families to start playing together.”
On their turn, players flip a game card which shows one of many common playing card hands. Players have up to three rolls of the dice to match the hand shown. If they get the hand, they win some scorkeeping chips. Chips are awarded based upon the difficulty of the hand. Special “Shootout” cards can bring the player more luck! And after playing a fun game of Square Shooters®, players can use the dice to make up their own game!
Square Shooters® Wins Recognition from Dr. Toy
The Square Shooters® game is a winner of “Dr. Toy’s Best Picks Children’s Products 2010” awards program, announced by Dr. Toy. In it’s twentieth year, the Dr. Toy awards program is developed by noted play and child development authority, Stevanne Auerbach, Ph.D. (a.k.a. Dr. Toy) as a service to consumers who desire to purchase safe, affordable, educationally oriented, stimulating new toys and products for children.
Dr. Auerbach believes “parents and grandparents need help to gain a head start locating new, diversified products that children will enjoy while increasing skills, enhance instruction and expand imagination.”
“Children learn best through play,” says Dr. Auerbach, “and these smart new toys and products encourage children to maximize their potentials.”
“We are proud to announce Dr. Toy’s recognition of the Square Shooters® game as a 2010 Best Pick!” says Amber Dickens, Heartland’s Marketing Director. “The Square Shooters® game is the first of many proprietary games I’m sure we’ll create for families and adults using these amazing dice!”
Availability
The Square Shooters® game will be available online throughout the 2010 holiday season at http://www.squareshooters.com. The game will also be carried by select specialty toy and craft/hobby retailers throughout the U.S.
About Heartland Consumer Products
“Bringing People Together” is a mission Heartland aspires to achieve through products that fuel the fun when families and friends get together. Card games remain a very popular social activity, and Heartland offers products for all game occassions. Brands like Vegas®, VIP®, Gold Crown® and All InTM bring quality and price options to players of all types. Square Shooters® is a natural extension from our line of playing cards into the fun world of proprietary game play!

NewsWatch Crews Travel Through South Africa with African Safari and Tour Operator Rhino Africa
Fairfax, VA (PRWEB) February 08, 2012
NewsWatch Crews recently traveled to South Africa to provide viewers with information on where to go, what to see, and most importantly, what company to trust a vacation of a lifetime with. South Africa has now become the most popular destination for Americans in search of a safari experience. Visiting this far away land involves a sizeable investment both in terms of money and time. The key to not having a dream vacation turn into a nightmare is working with an experienced travel advisor. Someone who has intimate knowledge of the country, the people, and the places you want to visit. The NewsWatch crews traveled through South Africa with the safari and travel company, Rhino Africa.
CEO David Ryan established Rhino Africa in 2004. Rhino Africa has now become Africa’s leading online tour operator, bringing over 15,000 guests to Africa every year. The principle behind Rhino Africa is simple – they employ African Experts. Rhino Africa consultants are well trained and more importantly, well traveled. Rhino Africa invests heavily each year in educational trips for it’s staff, guaranteeing first-hand knowledge and experience of the lodges and hotels that they recommend in their itineraries.
One of the other ways that Rhino is able to provide its clients with an unparalled experience is that they will be with the client every step of the way, taking the hassle out of planning a personalized itinerary and providing invaluable guidance and advice. Rhino Africa believes in honesty and integrity and at Rhino Africa clients are considered guests and not just a file number. Rhino Africa has such a great knowledge of Africa because most of the staff are Africans. This allows the client the ability to rest assured that they will be getting the best advice possible. The Rhino team of 60 is based at 99 Hope Street in Gardens, Cape Town and is comprised of English, German and French speaking travel planners. Rhino Tripping is Rhino Africa’s own wheels division, where expert guides offer fascinating day tours and road transfers.
As an independent and privately owned company, Rhino Africa has the luxury of doing things a little differently. They only feature tours and accommodation they can truthfully recommend and have personally experienced and they only enter into partnerships with suppliers they believe in. As they do not charge for advertising on their website, they maintain full editorial control – all the copy is written through the eyes of their consultants and travel writers – as they see and experience it.
NewsWatch is a weekly 30 minute consumer oriented television show that airs nationwide. NewsWatch regularly feature top celebrities, health tips, technology products, medical breakthroughs and entertainment news on the show. The show airs in 190 markets nationwide as well as all of the top 20 broadcast markets in the country, and is the preferred choice for Satellite Media Tour and Video News Release Distribution.

Global Demand for Glass Packaging to Post Steady Growth, Backed by Increasing Use in Certain End-Use Markets, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
San Jose, California (PRWEB) February 02, 2012
Follow us on LinkedIn – Glass, as a packaging material, witnesses renewed focus following instances of the chemicals being associated with other alternative packaging that raised environmental, health, and purity concerns. The safety approval of the general use of glass containers by the US FDA further established the position of the material. The response of the food and beverages industry to the demand for safer packaging was evident by Coca-Cola’s move of switching back to glass bottles for packaging its soft drink, Coke, for mainstream retailers. The glass industry is undertaking vigorous research initiatives to develop lighter yet stronger glass containers, as well as novel recycling efforts to increase the collection of superior quality cullet to make glass containers. The industry is also expected to continue educating consumers regarding the health and environmental benefits generated from opting for glass containers.
Glass packaging is generally used for packing upscale natural sodas and juices. Glass stands out on the crowded store shelf for displaying Natural soda or New Age brands. Natural soda or other new brands packaged in glass are more attractive than in other packaging. Even a normal drink, when packed in glass, tends to be more attractive and rich. Super premium spirits have brought the glory of glass packaging back onto the center stage once again. Super premium beverage producers as well as other upscale beverage makers prefer glass packaging to other options and are switching back to glass from plastics. Majority of the beverage companies prefer glass packaging to other types of packaging, for marketing their products. Glass is used as a packaging material due to its ability to preserve taste, its esthetic qualities, its cleanliness, and its recyclability. Major types of glass containers used in packaging include bottles, jars (cosmetic and fruit), jugs, medicinal bottles, and vials.
The demand for healthy, premium beverages designed to improve memory, energy and health is booming with the growing health consciousness of consumers. Most of these premium consumer beverages contain sophisticated ingredients that need superior barrier protection from oxygen and light, which is one of the unique features of glass. The luxury foods and wine industry prefers glass to other materials. Alcoholic beverages are the major end-users of glass containers. Beverage companies use glass containers as marketing tools. The clarity and barrier properties of glass have made it to be most suitable for beverages. The introduction of lightweight glass bottles has diminished the fast rate of replacement of glass by PET. Beer is a major end-use segment for glass containers, with food, non-alcoholic beverages, and cosmetics and fragrances representing other major end-use markets.
The introduction of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag for glass containers is expected to boost the demand for glass products in the market. The new RFID tag, which portrays better resistance to chemicals and heat, could be integrated into the curved glass plates that include glass bottles and test tubes. Despite the concerted efforts by glass manufacturers, the glass industry still faces strong competition from other materials. Among all the major packaging materials, glass faces the maximum threat of substitution. PET bottles, metal cans and paperboard containers threaten to displace glass from many segments. Glass is facing stiff competition from plastic materials in the food packaging industry. Plastic containers have begun to penetrate into wide-mouth jars and bottles in the food sector.
The research report titled “Glass Packaging: A Global Outlook” announced by Global Industry Analysts Inc., provides a collection of statistical anecdotes, market briefs, and concise summaries of research findings. The report briefly discusses the overview and trends in the global glass packaging market, demand dynamics in various end-use sectors of glass packaging, threat from substitutes, and its demand outlook. The report also recapitulates recent noteworthy mergers, acquisitions, and other strategic developments. Regional markets briefly abstracted include the United States, Canada, France, Germany, UK, Japan, China and India, among others. Market discussions in the report are punctuated with fact-rich market data tables. Also included is an indexed, easy-to-refer, fact-finder directory listing the addresses, and contact details of companies worldwide.

Study finds Statusreel To Improve Facebook Marketing In Just Weeks
StatusReel is Facebook
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) March 05, 2012
Statusreel, a leading Facebook widget in cyberspace, has taken an improbable ground in Facebook marketing. This is according to a collective study wherein online entrepreneurs who used Statusreel saw massive spikes of visibility in their blogs. Those who have advocacies also generated enough Facebook likes for their pages because of Statusreel’s connecting power. The main reason for this is the accessibility of Statusreel in most cases. Since people like easy and quick things, Statusreel played a rather important role.
Cyberspace is a very busy place, and everyday, there are many transactions happening. Time is of the essence, and the Internet has little mercy for slow people. That is why entrepreneurs settle for quick applications—just like Statusreel—to market their products and services. When it comes to simplicity of interface, Statusreel has a wild card. The Statusreel widget looks like Facebook, so users will be comfortable in using it. Status reel is all about statuses and the people who post them. Previously, many people thought that statuses were just blurbs of emotions and don’t have purposes at all. Now, things have changed. Users of Statusreel believe that statuses are gold mines that must be uncovered. True, a single status may contain mixed emotions, but they have an even greater purpose: social connection.
Statusreel has a roster of categories that anyone can explore. These categories are all about statuses and helpful if a user is looking for the best Facebook status. Every category has a collection of statuses that can be explored anytime. According to statistics, many people choose the Funny Statuses category because they ultimately receive more likes. As far as marketing is concerned, likes contribute to the ranking of a page.
Gamers also make up a large percentage of the Facebook crowd. Since there are thousands of games in Facebook—all requiring invitations for better gameplay experience—people will look for more ways to find friends conveniently. Some hardcore gamers even resorted to making blogs about their gaming experience. Statusreel supports gamers by letting them find people through Facebook status. In the Statusreel website, a user can input any keyword in the search bar. Upon hitting SEARCH, people who used the keyword will be displayed in just few seconds.
Bloggers can also embed Statusreel in their blogs. This is another extension of the marketing process. Once curious visitors see the benefits offered by Statusreel, they will be enticed and will keep coming back to the blog. This has been a proven mentality, all thanks to widgets that act as embellishments to any blog or website. On a keynote, the best statuses for Facebook may vary from time to time. This requires frequent experimentation on what works best for any marketing effort.
About Statusreel.com
Statusreel.com is a product designed to give end-users an instant amount of facebook statuses in real-time. Users can search via keyword or by subject matter to see what chatter is taking place publicly on facebook and the web. Statusreel also allows websites and blogs to embed a facebook status widget directly into their site. Statusreel is a web based facebook tool that is 100% free.

RoHS Infographic Provides Visual Overview of Directive
RoHS: Past, Present, Future
Austin, TX (PRWEB) December 13, 2011
What is RoHS? When did it begin and who’s involved? What’s been accomplished thus far? Where can I get an overview of RoHS? Venkel recently released “RoHS: Past, Present, Future”, an infographic designed to answer these questions. The Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) was introduced in 2003 by the European Union to restrict the usage of six hazardous substances in the manufacturing of various types of electrical and electronic products and equipment.
Conceived by Venkel Ltd., the Austin, Texas based electronics supplier of Surface Mount Components, the infographic is intended to be a helpful resource to those that are learning about RoHS, as well as those that are familiar with the directive. To the uninitiated, the infographic provides a simple visual overview of the directive and to those that are familiar with RoHS, an easy to digest review of the legislation.
Why a RoHS infographic? Up to this point, searches for an overview of RoHS yielded text-only results. With the explosion of infographics as a medium to communicate information in an engaging visual format, the RoHS infographic provides an easy to digest summary of RoHS in a format that many are familiar with.
Alex Rivera, Environmental Compliance Manager for Venkel Ltd., said “Our aim was to provide a useful resource to those looking for a quick overview of RoHS. With the popularity of infographics and their effectiveness in representing various types of information in a visually-compelling way, we thought the format would be perfect for this project. We hope it’s a helpful resource.”
“RoHS: Past, Present, Future” is available from the Venkel website, no registration is required. A pdf download of the infographic is available.
About Venkel Ltd.
Venkel Ltd. offers a complete line of Surface Mount Components including Capacitors, Resistors, Inductors, Ferrite Beads, Thermistors, Choke Coils and Resistor Networks.

Pub Rooms & Smarter Pub Provide British Pubs and Inns With Marketing Advice to Help Pubs Stay Open for Business During Another Tough Economic Year.
pub website design with internet marketing
(PRWEB) January 19, 2012
Pulling in the punters through websites has been the thorn in the side of the pub industry. Smarter Pub joins forces with Pub Rooms to provide British Pubs and Inns with good advice for marketing their pub offers and services through the internet.
For the last 10 years the penny has been slowly dropping for pub owners, customers no longer wait for pub doors to open, with the possible exception of Wetherpoon pubs.
Real life customers research pubs on the internet before visiting in person or meeting up in groups. Men no longer go out on their own and pubs are much more family orientated.
It’s for all these reasons and the lack of use of internet marketing that Pub Rooms has joined forces with Smarter Pub to provide help for pubs across the UK.
As each failed pub closes another penny drops but only after it’s too late. The route cause isn’t the ban on smoking and super markets selling cheap booze. The route cause is much more simple.
Landlords are not marketing professionals and fail to take advise from experienced marketing people.
Whilst the big players with big marketing budgets go from strength to strength it is clear to see the why they are winners.
Both Fullers and Greene King have just anounced record profist during Christmas 2011 and so has Oakham Inns and Restuarants, so why are they any different? How can one pub take nearly £70k in one week and another struggle to bring this amount in during the entire year? Is it really down to marketing.
Being able to throw a marketing agency budget weight behind a good product is easy enough. Having the good product and service in the first instance is the hard part. The public know what they want so are the any better off knowing what they already knew by smart marketing campaigns. The Greene King £1.5M campaign to promote real proper pubs almost fell on deaf ears but something worked for them to make a record profit in such tough ecomonic times.
The Flaming Grills and the Sizzling pubs not including Wetherspoon pubs are practically on every high street.
With high visibility the public can see what’s on offer. The internet is more important when fidning something a bit different is the objective.
This is something the Free House pubs have failed to realise over the last 5 years. Or at least the ones not able to stay open.
It’s not the reason why so many have failed but it does beg the question, how many would still be open had punters found out about what was on offer through simple internet marketing.
And whilst internet sales on the High Streets indicate gloomy times ahead, is it going to be the same for the pubs and bars on British High Streets during 2012, tougher business.
Possibly not. Ask the same question about rural and community pubs and the answer is somewhat blurred.
Just as out of town shopping centres (along with internet shopping) has practically killed off local town shopping, small town pubs are suffering too.
Can a website for a pub save it from falling footfall and closure.
The average landlord thinks not, yet landords using the internet to market their pub have a different story to tell.
And so does AM Communications, the internet solution behind Pub Rooms. With a multitude of pub and hotel websites benefitting from internet marketing supplied by AM Communications the message is simple. Get your website visible and clearly display what’s on offer. It can only lead to positive things.
This is only suitable if the pub truly has a genuine good offer with great service. You would need a black arts magician to take a poor service and poor product to market and come back with record sales.
Get up to speed fast with internet marketing, tell your customers what is on offer and take enquiries directly instead of receiving enquiries from third party booking services.
The marketing starts with introducing the core principles of internet marketing. There are 8 modules to understanding a winning strategy.
Bite size chunks of information that will help any pub website with little traffic to gain high quality traffic that will convert into footfall.
To find out more please contact Peter Jones on 0787 2121 998 quoting smarter pub

Charleston Automotive Products Liability Lawyer Advocates Increased Fines for Late Recalls
South Carolina injury lawyer Ken Harrell
North Charleston, SC (PRWEB) March 01, 2012
Charleston automotive products liability lawyer Ken Harrell today expressed support for a proposal before Congress to increase fines levied against automakers who are slow to recall defective vehicles.
“Money is the prime motivator for manufacturers,” said Harrell, managing partner at Joye Law Firm, a Charleston personal injury firm that has represented clients across South Carolina in car accident cases involving defective automotive products.
“Heavier fines may be exactly what’s necessary to spur automobile manufacturers to be prompt about doing the right thing after they have put defective and dangerous automobiles on the road,” Harrell said.
“Automakers who recall defective automobiles in a timely manner like they should will have nothing to fear from fines of any amount.”
The proposal, part of a larger bill to reform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, would increase maximum fines for manufacturers that delay recalls to $ 250 million from its current level of about $ 17 million, according to The Detroit News.
Various lobbying groups for automobile makers have called for less of an increase.
Harrell said that, in addition to creating the risk of serious injury and death, leaving defective cars on the road is ultimately more costly for automobile manufacturers.
The Joye Law Firm has secured multi-million-dollar settlements and verdicts for clients in automotive product liability cases, including a $ 262.5 million verdict for the family of a deceased child in Jiminez v. Chrysler Corporation in 1997 in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina. (Civil Action No: 2:96-1269-11). (The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals later ordered a new trial based on the size of the verdict. The case settled for a confidential amount before a second trial.)
“If the moral issue of leaving defective cars on the road is not enough, if the bad publicity is not enough, let the threat of enough money being extracted from corporate coffers induce automobile makers to act responsibly,” Harrell said.
Harrell said the Charleston automotive product liability lawyers of Joye Law firm will continue to pursue personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits on behalf of those hurt by carelessly designed, built and sold automobiles.
“We’ll continue to seek the compensation that victims of defective automotive products deserve and, in doing so, we hope to put pressure on automakers to respect the need to make the roads safer for all motorists,” Harrell said.
About Joye Law Firm
Since 1968, Joye Law Firm has been fighting to help people throughout South Carolina with their legal challenges in a broad range of practice areas, including personal injury, car accidents, birth injury, brain injury, defective products, drug injury, motorcycle accidents, nursing home abuse, Social Security disability, spinal cord injury, traffic tickets, truck accidents, workers’ compensation and wrongful death. The South Carolina law firm has offices in Charleston and Myrtle Beach and assists clients in areas that include Florence, Richland County, Orangeburg, Columbia, North Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Summerville and the Horry County communities of Conway and North Myrtle Beach. Contact the firm by calling (888) 324-3100 or filling out its online form.
