Author Empower Network to Release Blog Beast
ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. (PRWEB) September 26, 2013
With the release of Blog Beast, its new second-generation viral blogging system, Empower Network looks to revolutionize the blogging world.
Blog Beast, in which Empower Network invested $ 3 million and one year to develop, offers a multitude of features not yet seen among the current generation of blog software.
Empower Network’s new system allows users to maintain multiple blogs among multiple domains from one account and one login. It is faster, easier to use and a better design than the original version, as well as other blogging platforms, say company officials.
One of the highlights of Blog Beast is its mobile app, which syncs the computer and smartphone blogging systems in new ways. In the past, other blog platforms have released mobile apps that were watered down and not as feature-rich. Blog Beast will truly bring the same experience users enjoy on the Web to their mobiles.
WordPress, Blogger, Tumblr and other popular blog platforms don’t offer some of the key features and benefits users find with Blog Beast.
“When you start getting into the setup, maintenance and advance features, WordPress really is a difficult pain,” said President David Sharpe. “It was designed to be super user-friendly. Over time, it’s become more and more complicated. Whether you agree or you don’t, we’ve decided to make blogging easy so anyone could do it, even a grandma who’s new to the Internet. Blog Beast is everything WordPress was originally meant to be.”
Blog Beast simplifies the audio/video blogging experience by allowing the user to record video or audio with the aid of a mobile app. With two simple clicks, anyone can post a podcast or video online from a smartphone or computer, making Blog Beast essentially “grandma-proof.”
Sharing is also easier because Blog Beast allows users to reblog posts from other Blog Beast sites, giving the original author credit, while posting the content within their own blogs. A new proprietary commenting feature allows readers to share blogs and their blog comments on social media platforms with links back to the original blog posts.
Users can also withhold premium content with a paywall, which restricts access to such content and offers a call to action for viewers to upgrade their accounts in order to view it.
“We wanted to create an atmosphere where no matter where you are and what your idea is, you can put it on your blog when inspiration strikes,” Sharpe said. “That’s one of the many ways we are changing the viral blogging industry. Imagine building and managing a business from your phone.”
Other features available through Blog Beast are training on blogging, marketing and leadership, as well as a customer relationship management system that allows a user to access his or her back office, view sales and transactions as well as send email blasts to customer groups.
The Blog Beast price is $ 25 per month, the same as the current Empower Network blogging system, while still in the pre launch phase. Empower Network will automatically migrate all existing customers to its new platform on Oct. 11th. Empower Network also offers an affiliate compensation plan to its nearly 30,000 active affiliates, and that number is expected to rise dramatically with this new system release.
A soft launch of Blog Beast is now available and for a limited time. Anyone interested in using Blog Beast before the public launch must purchase it before the Oct. 11 launch date. After that, Empower Network will disable orders until the mid-October public launch. Blog Beast orders will go live again on Oct. 18. The order cart will shut down again on Oct. 28 and there has been no predetermined date as to when it will reopen.

Safe-Direct Car Shipping Explains Auto Transport Quotes
(PRWEB) June 30, 2013
Today, you can have your car shipped to your new home, when you are relocating to a far-off destination. These services have become invaluable in providing people with a stress-free way of transporting their vehicles, in a safe and secure manner, to their new homes. One of the important factors to consider is the car shipping quotes that you will receive from prospective transporters. You need to understand the elements that determine the cost of shipping your car, which will be included in the quote.
Destination
The first item to be considered is the distance over which the vehicle will be transported. When transport companies are drawing up car shipping quotes, they look for the shortest possible distance of shipping your car. Through the use of transport networks, they come up with the best way, to efficiently transport your vehicle to your new home. This will then determine the cost of the distance aspect of the whole task. If the delivery location is a residential area, it might affect the cost due to the difficulty of offloading.
Type of Car Carrier
The second item that the transporters will consider is the type of carrier that you want. You can have the car shipped in an enclosed or open truck. The cost of using an enclosed carrier will be slightly higher than that of using an open one. The transporters will also consider whether you are delivering your vehicle to their depot, or if they have to collect it from your door.
Date of Shipment
Finally, the car carriers will look at the shipping date that you may require. If you want the vehicle to be shipped in a time shorter than the standard time, you will have to pay more. It is advisable that you use a company that will deliver your car within a reasonable time window. The carriers usually group the vehicles according to the destinations. Your vehicle will be put in a group with vehicles which have to be delivered along the same route to your desired destination. The transporter will give you an estimated time of delivery, based on how many drop-offs will be done before they finally get to deliver your vehicle.
Misc. Factors
Other items that can influence car shipping quotes are: fuel prices, vehicle weight (extra items added inside vehicle), and special customer requests.
When selecting a car carrier, you should get car shipping quotes from several carriers, and look through the items covered in the quote. With this information, you will be equipped to make an informed decision on the carrier to hire. However, you should not compromise the quality of the services rendered just to make a saving on the cost of shipping you vehicle. Ensure that the services offered will guarantee the safe and secure delivery of your vehicle.
Safe-Direct Car Shipping is the #1 door to door car shipping company, with 5 star ratings from the BBB, Transport Reviews, and Transport Rankings! They offer the industries only 100% damage free guarantee. With Safe-Direct Car Shipping, you never pay a penny until you’re given your Car Carriers info and have the opportunity to review them in advance.

Acromag’s New 6-Channel Optocoupler and Interposing Relay Modules Monitor/Control High-Voltage Field Devices
Wixom, Michigan (PRWEB) May 08, 2013
Acromag’s new BusWorks® XT Series multi-channel optocoupler and interposing relay modules connect discrete field devices to measurement & control system I/O modules. The XTA-120V-6 optocoupler modules have six individually isolated 120V AC/DC digital (discrete) inputs to sense on/off levels and provide 5-32V DC logic outputs to a fieldbus input module or a controller. The XTA-MRNO-6 interposing relay module receives 4-32V DC logic-level signals from an output module or controller to switch six mechanical relay outputs. These two high-voltage relay interface modules offer a high-density, cost-effective solution to safely monitor or control inductive and other high-power loads (motors, valves, solenoids, etc.) with control system input/output modules that only support low-level DC signals. Pricing starts at $ 150 for the mechanical relay output module and $ 180 for the optocoupler input module.
“These multi-channel discrete contact sensor and relay output modules offer a safe, isolated interface between high-energy field devices and sensitive control system I/O modules,” explained Don Lupo, sales and marketing director of Acromag’s process products group. “By adding optocouplers and relays, you can use PLC, DCS, or remote I/O modules with 5-24V logic circuits to operate 120V AC/DC contactors.”
The XTA-120V-6 six-channel optocoupler is intended for use with control system digital input modules to monitor contact closures or mains power supply on/off voltage levels. Each channel senses the presence or absence of high-level voltage to determine the status of proximity switches, limit switches, toggle switches, push buttons, contacts, and other devices. Opto-isolators control a mosfet switch for a TTL-level output to safely interface the status of the monitored device.
The XTA-MRNO-6 six-channel mechanical relay is used with digital output modules to drive high energy loads. This unit serves as an interim digital interface to switch high voltage devices at high currents based on digital DC logic inputs. Each output has normally open Form A mechanical relay contacts (SPST-NO). LEDs on each channel indicate the output state for convenient troubleshooting.
Both modules can drive audible or visual alarms. Common uses involve operation of stack lights, bells, whistles, lights, and horns. While the XTA-MRNO-6 is intended for switching AC/DC inductive loads at high currents, the XTA-120V-6 is designed to drive low-current devices such as solid-state relays, LEDs, relay coils, solenoids, and incandescent lamps.
An innovative housing design is only 22.5mm wide and features removable front-facing terminal blocks for easier wiring. All units run off a 12- 32V DC power source at the terminals or through an integrated power connector bussed along the DIN rail that can provide primary or redundant power. Fail-safe operation is supported. Suitable for use in harsh environments, modules operate from -40 to 85°C with 1500V AC isolation and surge/transient protection. They can also withstand 25g shock and 4g vibration. CE and UL/cUL Class 1 Division 2 Zone 2 hazardous location approvals are pending.
About Acromag
Acromag has designed and manufactured measurement and control products for more than 55 years. With a headquarters near Detroit, Michigan and a global network of sales representatives and distributors, Acromag products are sold worldwide. They offer a complete line of industrial I/O products including process instruments, signal conditioning equipment, data acquisition boards, distributed I/O modules, and network communication devices. Industries served include manufacturing, water services, power generation, mining, defense, and transportation.
