Author The Stephen Frederick Agency Inaugurates Charity Program In Austin, TX, And Debuts With Campaign Providing Medical Care For Animals Rescued From the City Kill Shelter
Austin, TX (PRWEB) February 10, 2015
The Stephen Frederick Agency in Austin, TX announced the debut of its charity program designed to benefit the local community. The agency will work closely with nonprofit organizations in the area, to nominate a new beneficiary every 60 days. The idea is to create a campaign to help the elected causes or programs with immediate support by bringing awareness to those very important issues.
To launch the program, Stephen Frederick, the agency’s principal, has chosen to introduce Save Your 4-Legged Friends. The campaign’s mission is to provide animals with medical care, such as spray/neuter, deworming, microchip and vaccinations, to ensure they remain healthy and adoptable.
“So many animals end up abandoned or neglected in our community… We want to mobilize our neighbors, friends and family to help keep them in good health so they can have another chance to bring joy, love and happiness to new families,” said Frederick.
Each new cause showcased by the agency will accompany a detailed full story about the elected cause on a designated donations page. To join The Stephen Frederick Agency in supporting Save Your 4-Legged Friends, donors are encouraged to visit the campaign page, at http://www.stephenfrederickassociates.com/Save-Your-4-Legged-Friends_4_community_cause, and share it with their friends and family through social media and email.
With the newly launched program, The Stephen Frederick Agency takes responsibility for promoting that page through its many channels, to include its own database of thousands of customers, business partners, staff, neighbors and friends.
The agency also owns a monthly publication, Our Hometown magazine, which reserves a full page featuring the campaign of the chosen cause. The electronic Flipbook version of the current issue of the magazine can be accessed here: http://www.ourhometownmag.org/frederickinsurance/frederickinsurance-jan-15/.

SecurEnvoy facilitates remote working for staff at city councils and municipal authorities
(PRWEB UK) 17 March 2014
From law enforcement officials to highway surveyors – staff at public authorities often work away from the office. As a result, they need to access city or municipal networks remotely in order to document their assignments. Employees at many such authorities log in via two-factor authentication and identify themselves using dedicated hardware tokens. However, with this approach, the procurement and maintenance costs relating to the tokens can rapidly escalate. An alternative is offered by the manufacturer SecurEnvoy, which has developed a tokenless two-factor authentication method. With this, staff working remotely can easily and efficiently log into networks using devices such as smartphones.
Traditional tokens, such as smart cards, are used in addition to login details in order to provide access authorisation in many companies and organisations. However, the implementation of such methods is often lengthy and replacing defective tokens can become expensive. SecurEnvoy enables companies and organisations to make use of smartphones, laptops or tablets as authentication devices. One of the methods from the SecurAccess solution is to send a dynamically generated password to the mobile devices of employees via SMS or e-mail. The password received is then combined with the user’s login information to enable tokenless two-factor authentication. Staff of public authorities can thus quickly and conveniently access IT networks. Examples such as the London Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea illustrate the advantages of tokenless two-factor authentication.
Reduced operating costs
The borough on the western side of the British capital employs thousands of civil servants to take care of the needs of approximately 150,000 inhabitants. In this context, more and more employees are accessing the administration’s main network remotely. For many years, non-office staff carried with them a dedicated, physical token, which generated access codes for network authentication purposes. However, this method proved to be time-consuming and insecure. Tokens were frequently lost or left behind with laptops and the constant need to replace them led to increased operating costs. The management found a better way with a tokenless approach and implemented a tokenless two-factor authentication procedure based on SecurAccess.
“The borough had already equipped more than 1,000 employees with mobile phones. We therefore wanted to make even greater use of this investment and save on the cost of dedicated tokens,” explains Russell Hookway, Network & Telecommunications Manager at the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. “The good value for money offered was another reason why we really wanted to use the SecurEnvoy technology.”
Security concerns dispelled
The City Council of the Scottish city of Dundee, with a population of 140,000, also successfully uses tokenless two-factor authentication. The City Council’s aim was to address security concerns associated with location-independent network access by employees. In this regard, the City Council is subject to the requirements of the Scottish Government’s Code of Conduct and Compliance (CoCo) for local authorities.
“We wanted to improve the security of our virtual private networks and liked the easy and secure network access process offered by an SMS-based method,” explains Graeme Quinn, IT Team Leader of Dundee City Council. “Almost everyone has a mobile phone nowadays so overall costs can be managed. SecurAccess is a quick and easy solution to security issues related to remote access.”
More rapid processing of requests
In the Dutch province of Gelderland, tokenless two-factor authentication replaced the use of smart cards. Often the cards did not work, which resulted in many calls to the help desk from remote workers and also led to delays in carrying out requests. Card readers are also an issue when people work from home or from personal devices so combined with the issues of deploying certificates to the cards and the usability of the cards themselves, so organisations are finding it quicker, easier and more cost effective to use a tokenless alternative. The public authority contacted SecurEnvoy via a Dutch IT provider and opted for the SecurAccess solution. The positive effects soon became tangible: The processing time for individual remote requests was reduced from almost 50 minutes to about 30 seconds.

About SecurEnvoy plc:
SecurEnvoy is the creator of patented tokenless solutions for two-factor authentication. Millions of users globally already benefit from the fastest mobile authentication process that doesn’t require a token. It uses common devices like mobile and smartphones, tablets and laptops to provide the passcode for authentication. Even without a mobile or internet connection the user can retrieve the code via voice call or identification with the One Swipe technology that relies on a QR code scan. The product range of the company based in London (UK), Frankfurt (D), New York and San Diego (USA) includes the SecurAccess solution. The administration tools can be easily integrated into existing IT infrastructures and allow administrators to add up to 100,000 users per hour.

Keen City redefilineates news consumption in the UK
London, UK (PRWEB UK) 13 December 2012
Keen City, the award-winning multimedia production company, is simply delighted to announce the launch Britain Today, the UK’s pioneering, original and first online-only news show.
In a bid to redefinilineate how internet users watch, view, consume and see information, Britain Today will – perhaps uniquely – seek to leverage the latent audience-yielding power of the digiverse to inform generations and generate information.
From today onwards, Britain Today will be counting down the top ten news stories of 2012, with a new instalment being added each weekday until December 21. The last 12 months have bought glory at the Olympics, a large-foreheaded Tory as Prime Minister and the same old story for women bishops, but have been missing the sort of news programme that can really do them justice. Britain Today seeks to change all that.
Moreover, given the travails that have beset institutions from the previously untainted Newsnight and the ethically unimpeachable News Corporation, Keen City is seeking to win back the trust of both the (wo)man on the street and the (wo)man who (w)atches video on the internet.
James Albion, one of the lead anchors for Britain Today, said: “News is a lot more than content, words, pictures and video stapled together in a convenient three-minute format. But it’s not an awful lot more than that, meaning we’re confident that Britain Today will become a major force in the world of current affairs really, really quickly.”
With a specialist team of five expert presenters on hand to separate fact from fiction and cold hard truth from lukewarm speculation, albeit not necessarily in that order, Britain Today will make revelations published on Wikileaks look like an extreme version of Jackanory.
For more information, visit:
http://www.youtube.com/user/BritainTodayOnline
http://en-gb.facebook.com/pages/Britain-Today/172968176167464
https://twitter.com/BritainToday1
Note for editors: It must be noted that Britain Today’s top ten rundown will inevitably exclude the period from 22-31 December 2012, which somewhat awkwardly, won’t have actually happened by the time the countdown has finished. Keen City is not liable for any events of national significance occurring during this period.
About Keen City
Keen City’s name is derived from a verse in the poem The Moon’s A Balloon by E.E. Cummings, which talks about a place full of pretty people, where everyone is in love and flowers pick themselves. The company is, however, based in London, which falls short of this description in at least a couple of ways. Possibly more. Especially when you’re on the Tube. Nasty business.
The company’s first short film, Alleyman, won the British Lion Award for Achievement at the British Independent Film Awards, 2011, and received an honourable mention at the 2011 Los Angeles Independent Film Festival. Other shorts, Darkest Before Dawn, Lonesome at the Cannes Short Film Corner in 2011 and 2012, as did The Tyrant’s Cup and Child, which are currently doing the rounds on the festival circuit. Keen City has a number of new projects in various stages of production, including comedy shows Ted Burns: Third Degree and Keen City’s Private Dick, as well as feature projects The Cult, Survivor, and Sex, Drugs, Some Rocks and a Few Rolls. Stay tuned.
