				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chicago, IL (PRWEB) February 7, 2007 </p>
<p> After months of heated competition and more than 53,000 votes, Scarlet Fade stands alone as the winner of Ellio's Rock Star Challenge. The Bristol, Conn., sibling quartet emerged as one of the hottest acts in the online battle of the bands that allowed teens to create music, listen to other bands, post comments, and vote for their favorites. Among the top five vote-getters, Scarlet Fade was selected by Flyleaf - an indie band growing in national popularity with their self-titled debut-album - and is ready to collect the grand prize: a three-day recording session with a professional producer. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>When online voting for Ellio's Rock Star Challenge ended on January 31, 2007, the five bands that received the most votes from online fans advanced to the final round. The Mystery Tramps, Stereo Skyline, The Rising Sons, and Capitol Risk joined Scarlet Fade in making the cut, and all are featured on http://www.elliosrockstar.com. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>"Millions of good bands are out there and it takes a unique passion, honesty, and humility to make a band stand out among the rest," said Lacey Mosley, lead singer for Flyleaf. "There is something in the combination of the members of Scarlet Fade that pulls your heart into the song. As artists we want more than just to entertain, we want to inspire - and this band is making that kind of art."</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Scarlet Fade is flying high; thrilled to be the first Ellio's Rock Stars. The New England band is a family project - Ali, 18, sings lead vocals, plays the bass and the keyboard; Jordan, 16, sings vocals, plays electric and acoustic guitars; Jaimee, 13, sings background vocals, plays keyboard; and Jake, 10, sings background vocals and plays the drums. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>"When we got the call saying we won, we almost didn't believe it," said Ali. "We spend so much time practicing our music, which is what we love to do, that it's great to be recognized by Ellio's."</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The six-month contest was open to all teen garage bands and individual musicians ages 13 to 20. Representatives of Ellio's, the maker of delicious frozen pizzas for more than 40 years, were excited that the Rock Star Challenge became an online phenomenon. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>"The contest catapulted teen bands from local garages to a national stage with listeners and DJs in top music markets and online exposure wherever an Internet connection exists," said Susan Pilcher, Ellio's brand manager. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Musicians were not the only ones to benefit. Fans who commented on or voted for their favorite bands were automatically entered into a sweepstakes. In all, Ellio's awarded lucky visitors with a Gibson Les Paul Studio Guitar, Klipsch iGroove Stereo Systems, 30GB Apple iPods, iTunes gift certificates, and coupons for free Ellio's Microwave Cheese Pizza.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>While today's teens have grown up loving Ellio's unique sauce and end-to-end toppings, Ellio's Microwave Cheese Pizza makes it even easier for teen musicians and music fans to have a quality snack during practices or while listening to their favorite tunes. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Whatever the activity, Ellio's Microwave Cheese Pizza is a perfect fit with the teen lifestyle. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>"Teens want to spend their free time having fun, not on food preparation," said Pilcher. "Popping an Ellio's Pizza into the microwave is a simple and convenient way to get a delicious snack by a brand they know and love."</p>
<p>&#13;</p>

Perth, WA (PRWEB) March 13, 2013 </p>
<p> On Friday 8th of March, Pablo Rodriguez Pina, founder and co-director of the Perth (Western Australia) based software company announced the company will be using Google Hangouts to conduct meetings with clients as well as within the company.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The company, who was currently using Skype announced the move after a decrease in the quality of Skype conferences as well as the added capabilities of Google Hangouts.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Hangouts is a free service part of Googles social media portal Google + that allows for free video conferencing with up to 10 participants.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Pablo Rodriguez Pina described the reasons for the move: The quality is excellent, both in terms of audio and video. It integrates with Gogle calendar allowing us to send hangout invitations directly from within Google calendar invites. At the time of the meeting the user simply needs to click on a link on the calendar invite to join the hangout. Being browser based, it is cross platform and has no paid-only restrictions. Moreover, it has a feature to overlay comic pictures over one's image which can bring some good sense of humour to the meeting. We are very pleased with the service.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Other features of Google Hangouts are:&#13;<br />
</p>
<p>  Mobile support on Android 2.3+ devices with front facing cameras. &#13;<br />
  Hangouts On-AIR, which gives users the ability to create instant webcasts over Google+. The broadcasts can also be recorded for later retrieval. &#13;<br />
  Text chat - for instant messaging.&#13;<br />
  Screen sharing - allows to share the entire desktop or just a selected screen.&#13;<br />
  Effects - Funny effects such as pirate gear overlaid over the webcam stream.&#13;<br />
  Google drive integration &#13;<br />
  Sporcle - An interactive online gaming platform

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 12, 2007 </p>
<p> Axiss Audio, a leading distributor of high-end audio gear, hired Fahrenheit Studio, an award-winning new media design firm, to reposition its brand from the audiophile market to the luxury home theater market. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Axiss Audio was looking for a way to tap into the growing demand for one-of-a-kind home theater systems and music rooms. The company enlisted Fahrenheit Studio's branding expertise to broaden its appeal to luxury consumers, while continuing to attract its base of hardcore audiophiles.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>With research showing that 51% of luxury consumers do their preliminary shopping online (The Wealth Report: 3/15/2006), Fahrenheit decided to create a web-centric identity for Axiss Audio. The brand's new modern design plays well in any media environment, and is intended to wow luxury-minded consumers searching for the ultimate stereo. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The centerpiece of the new roll out is Axissaudio.com (http://www.axissaudio.com). Axiss needed a website that would provide easy access to technical information, and at the same time, express the beauty, perfection and exclusivity of its offerings. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Fahrenheit's approach was to simplify the layout of each page, streamline the component categories, and add the ability to locate and contact dealers directly. The result is a web gallery of ultra-exotic stereo gear with one-click access to deeper information and detail. The exclusivity of the look and feel is underlined by the absence of pricing. If you want to see this gear, it's by appointment only.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>"We're finding that most of our branding projects involve companies who know that their identities need a facelift, and that they need to re-focus their marketing efforts toward the web," says Robert Weitz, Fahrenheit's co-director. "Our specialty in both identity and web design helps us to understand the challenges involved in moving brands into the 21st century." </p>
<p>&#13;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 4, 2005 </p>
<p> Roland proudly announced the arrival of two breakthrough instruments: the FR-5 and FR-7 V-Accordions. Based on Rolands proprietary Physical Behavior Modeling (PBM) technology, these lightweight, reedless digital accordions put dozens of ultra-realistic instruments at the players fingertips. They are a dream come true for accordionists who have long wished for a more versatile instrument. Every modeled accordion onboard the FR-7/5 plays and reacts exactly like the real thing, down to the smallest nuance. But the V-Accordion doesnt stop there. Select a grand piano, an acoustic guitar, a brass or woodwind instrument, and squeeze new life into these classic sounds. Audiences wont believe what theyre hearing!</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The V-Accordions dont depend on moving parts to generate sound, which makes them virtually maintenance free. This results in an instrument thats always in tune across a wide range of octaves. Both accordions are lightweight and portable, with an onboard digital amplifier and rechargeable Ni-Mh battery pack (optional on the FR-5). For live performance, the FR-7 incorporates a pair of powerful lightweight neodymium woofers and tweeters for a consistent, full range low-end to high-end output. In addition, each V-Accordion can be plugged directly into a sound system or a recording device via a 1/4-inch cable. A headphone jack is offered for private practice</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The V-Accordions are based on newly developed Physical Behavior Modeling algorithms that faithfully reproduce the characteristics and nuances of authentic accordions. They can simulate up to 30 different accordion sound sets, each including 14 Treble Registers, seven Bass &amp; Chord Registers, and seven Free Bass Registers. The user-friendly interface enables switching instantly between accordion sounds.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In additional to the wide variety of accordion voices, the FR-5/7 houses 22 orchestral and pop sounds, all with full-bellows articulation. Orchestral sounds include Trumpet, Trombone, Sax, Clarinet, Oboe, Harmonica, Violin, Flute, Jazz organ, Percussive Organ, Human Voice, Mandolin, Acoustic Guitar, and Acoustic Piano, to name a few. Seven high quality Bass Orchestral sounds can be played separately by the left hand, including Acoustic Bass, Bowed Bass, Fingered Bass, Picked Bass, Fretless Bass, Baritone Tuba, and Baritone Tuba + E. Bass. Onboard MIDI functionality allows integration of sound modules, arranger keyboards, or external sequencers.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The revolutionary V-Accordion  squeeze to believe!</p>

Saint Petersburg, Florida. (PRWEB) March 13, 2013 </p>
<p> HealthSciences Institute released version 5.0 of the award-winning Chronic Care Professional (CCP) Health Coaching Online Learning and Certification Program. Featuring advances in population health improvement; updated medical care, self-care and decision support tools for 30 chronic conditions; and evidence-based lifestyle management support steps. CCP 5.0 includes audio/video health coaching case studies that help learners build the MI style and skills proven effective in over 300 clinical studies. Participants learn how to respond to patient statements, provide information and support shared decision-makingwhile avoiding patient discord (linked with poor engagement and behavior change) and evoking change talk (linked with behavior change). Using the 2012 Miller &amp; Rollnick motivational interviewing (MI) health coaching framework as a guide, CCP helps learners address common health coaching barriers, while improving the impact of brief telephonic and face-to-face health coaching practice across the care continuum. In addition, learners choose from expert presentations on topics that match their clinical roles and interests featuring 25 HealthSciences faculty contributors from Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Harvard and Johns Hopkins.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Upon completion of the 40-hour CE-approved program and exam, CCPs are listed in the not-for-profit PartnersInImprovement Alliance online registry: http://www.HealthCoachRegistry.org. Employers, purchasers and patients can now verify that their practitioner or health coach has been trained and tested in chronic disease prevention and chronic care best practices, and are proficient in health coaching approaches proven effective in peer-reviewed clinical studies.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>CCP is the only training program of its kind developed and vetted by credentialed experts in health behavior change and linked with better patient-level outcomes by Blue Cross Blue Shield affiliates, Nationwide and Kaiser Permanente. In a recent Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM) study nominated for the BCBS Associations Best in Blue Award, CCP, MI training and individual/program performance measurement yielded a 46% improvement in disease management nurses motivational interviewing (MI) skills and linked MI proficiency (assessed via a standardized, validated measure) with better patient engagement in an independent analysis by noted disease management evaluator, Dr. Ariel Linden.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>According to HealthSciences Institutes President &amp; CEO, Dr. Blake Andersen Since we continuously track the outcomes and ROI of our work, we can leverage what we have learned over ten years of training thousands of clinicians. At BCBSM for example, this allowed us to deliver a nearly 50% improvement in evidence-based health coaching skills for disease management nurses (most of whom had completed training in MI by a training vendor specializing in MI in health care prior to our baseline). In engagements with Mercer, our faculty quadrupled engagement rates for multinational employers. None of this would have been possible without organizations willing to invest in better outcomes for their patients or members and customers. If a company is unwilling to invest in their people or the quality of their services, we cant help. Many are looking for short-cuts, train-the-trainer programs, or one shot training. We emphasize that this is a complex skill- set and legacy training approaches arent sufficient. If there were an easier way to do it, believe me we would use it.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>CCP has been recognized by the wellness, disease and care management industry association (the Care Continuum Alliance), the Case Management Society of American (CMSA), the National Association of Disease Management &amp; Wellness Professionals (NADMWP), top ten U.S. Patient-Centered Primary Care (PCMH) Collaboratives, along with state government units in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Vermont. Since 2003 CCP has been recommended or required by leading health care organizations in the U.S. and Canada, including 25 BCBS affiliates, Kaiser Permanente, and the US AirForce.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In the state of Montana, where CCP is required for all community and tribal health center case managers chosen to serve Medicaid recipients, Wendy Sturn, Health Improvement Program Office with Montana Medicaid/HMK Plus, recently noted We have chosen the training (CCP) because, in my opinion, it is the best available. When designing this program four years ago, we were very careful to put in place assessment and training components that are research based and nationally recognized. We believe requiring quality training such as the CCP as a foundation of the overall program will greatly improve our odds for success. Learn more at HealthSciences.org</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bishop's Stortford, UK (PRWEB) February 14, 2007 </p>
<p> Shadow Technology announced today that they had added "Live Monitoring &amp; Whispering" facility to the latest release of IP Call Recording Software -- Call-Shadow.  This facility will allow a supervisor or manager to monitor calls live and will allow them to talk directly to the operator without the customer being able to hear.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>"This is a great feature," said Shadow's Director of Marketing, Alex Kafkarides. "How many times has a manager wanted to step in and help a call that was going bad, either because of operator inexperience or a difficult customer. In the past he would have resorted to writing messages on pieces of paper or taking over the call, which not only appears unprofessional, but would also damage the confidence of the operator.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>"With Call-Shadow, they can now talk directly to the operator and advise them on what to do or say, without the person at the other end of the line hearing anything at all. This will deal with the problem in a professional way and also build the confidence of the operator in having dealt with a difficult issue," he added. "This feature is included in Call-Shadow free and at $  3.000 to monitor 10 IP Phones is unbeatable. You can try out Call-Shadow, including the 'Whispering' feature free of charge for 30 days, including support -- just register on our web site for a download -- http://www.shadow-technology.co.uk,&amp;quot; he ended.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>About Call-Shadow</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Call-Shadow is an easy to use call recording solution that implements the corporate call record keeping policy and provides secure, easy access to call records.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>It allows managers to review phone calls according to their workgroup.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Users are empowered by providing them with accurate records of their calls.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Call-Shadow can be used in mission critical implementations, because it has a clustering system with an advanced fail-over system, with no single point of failure. Should a server in a cluster become unavailable, its workload is divided between its peers without operator intervention. Such a clustering system is much superior to a simple hot-swap standby system because all servers are working, providing scalability and redundancy at the same time.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>All access to replays is logged and can be audited by authorized users.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Call-Shadow is highly integrated with Cisco CallManager, having an XML phone service which allows replaying calls directly on the phone, and being integrated with CallManager's user directory (LDAP DCDirectory) for unified authentication. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>It is available in two configurations, to facilitate application in a call center or company-wide.</p>

Irving, Texas (PRWEB) October 26, 2012 </p>
<p> In the most recent Uniform Crime Report published by the FBI, there were more than nine million property crimes reported in 2010. That translates to one property crime every 3.5 seconds. Burglary was the second most reported offense out of all reported crimes in 2010.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Thanks to technology and innovative security measures, homeowners dont have to become a part of the burglary statistic. In honor of Crime Prevention Month (October), the Electronic Security Association (ESA) offers homeowners insight into the mind of a burglar, along with tips for reducing the risk of a burglary. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Most home intrusions can be classified as random opportunistic acts  not planned events. Homeowners can protect against a home intrusion by looking at the weaknesses of their home from an intruders point of view. Here are a few questions an intruder might ask when deciding on a house to target.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Is anyone home?&#13;<br />
<br />The first thing many intruders do is check to see if anyone is home. Sometimes the intruder will simply knock on the front door. If someone answers, the intruder may make up an excuse for the disturbance, such as being lost and needing directions. If no one answers, the intruder may do further research to ensure the home is vacant. He or she may look into windows and listen for the sound of someone watching television. Other times, if the knock at the door goes unanswered, the intruder may try his or her luck at an unlocked door. Three out of 10 times, he or she will hit the jackpot and walk right in. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Homeowners should try to make their homes appear occupied at all times. Timers for inside lights and televisions serve as easy solutions. Another effective and cost-efficient measure to consider is motion sensor lights. Placing these lights in dark areas outside of the home may scare away potential intruders lurking in the shadows.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Is the home equipped with an alarm system?&#13;<br />
<br />A 2009 study by the Rutgers School of Criminal Justice found that an installed burglar alarm makes a dwelling less attractive to wouldbe and active intruders and protects the home without displacing burglaries to nearby homes. Additionally, the Cromwell-Olson-Avary study, conducted to better understand offenders perception of the risks and rewards involved in criminal activity, found that nearly all convicted intruders (90 percent) admitted that they would avoid homes that are equipped with alarm systems. Additionally, the study revealed that if a potential intruder sees a yard sign or window decal from a credible security company outside of a home, around 75 percent would think twice about going through with an attack. But signs and decals arent enough to deter an intruder; alarm systems are the best protection against home intrusion.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>To aid them in their security needs, ESA urges homeowners to enlist a security company that is a member of ESA. ESA member companies are experienced professionals and must adhere to a strict Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct. To ensure maximum protection, an ESA member company will recommend and install a system that accommodates both the features of the home and the homeowners lifestyle. Homeowners can find an ESA member company in their area by visiting [Alarm.org, an online home security resource for consumers.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>What is the easiest way to break in?&#13;<br />
<br />On average, intruders will spend no more than 60 seconds breaking into a home, since a longer attempt may result in detection by a neighbor or passerby. First, they will seek out unlocked or open doors and windows  even on the second or third floor  that can be accessed by a ladder. And sometimes, a standard locked door or window wont always be enough to stop them. Homeowners should consider upgrading to deadbolts and reinforcing the frame of their front door to make a break-in more strenuous for the intruder. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Will anyone notice?&#13;<br />
<br />Intruders tend to target homes that they can get away from easily. For an intruder, an ideal home would be located in a dark, lifeless neighborhood with good hiding places and escape paths, such as overgrown bushes or trees in the yard. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Hiding areas can be eliminated by keeping the landscaping neatly trimmed and using outdoor lights so the home is well-lit at night. Homeowners are encouraged to start or join a neighborhood watch group. These groups can help reduce the risk of home intrusion for everyone in the community. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
