Oakland Zoo, CamZone Networks, and Ventana Wildlife Society Partner to Create a New Live-Streaming-Webcam for Viewing Upcoming California Condor Release into the Wild













California Condor Flying Over the Coast


Big Sur, CA (PRWEB) March 25, 2014

On Tuesday, March 25, 2014, at 10:00am Pacific Standard time, four California condors will be released into the wild for the first time by Ventana Wildlife Society biologists. People around the world will have the ability to watch these endangered birds in real-time transition from captivity to life in the wild via a live-streaming webcam in Big Sur, California. “A typical condor release is largely uneventful as we want the birds to comfortably and slowly make this transition successfully. The actual release itself is just the opening of the enclosure door and is the kind of thing that is best watched over a period of days and even weeks since it is up to the condors what they do next” said Ventana Wildlife Society Executive Director, Kelly Sorenson.

This new viewing experience was made possible through collaboration between Ventana Wildlife Society and Oakland Zoo, with funding provided by FedEx and made possible through CamZone Networks. “Camzone was built on the popularity of animal cams, so partnering to help save the California Condors was a great opportunity for our team to give back,” said Steve Walker, Business Development at Camzone Network. “Getting a camera on the Condor release pen, in the wild was by far the most complicated job we have ever heard of. We are ecstatic with the finished product and honored to be part of such an amazing project. We are dedicated to continuing the support the Condors with our commercial free hosting and future projects to help bring awareness to the Condors plight.”

The Live-Streaming Webcam can be viewed at both Oakland Zoo and Ventana Wildlife Society’s websites:

One of the birds being released is condor #646 who suffered a broken wing in 2013 while still a chick. At just two months old, this female condor was recovered from the nest and taken to the Los Angeles Zoo for treatment. She is now ready to be released less than a mile from her parents and the nest she was born into. “Conservation is a top priority at Oakland Zoo and being part of this project is exciting because we are directly involved with conveying the plight of the California condor to the public,” said Nancy Filippi, Managing Director. “This new camera and live release will give the public a chance to learn more about birds like condor #646, and stories like hers help people have an emotional connection to saving this species from extinction.” The other three condors being released are SB#s 631 (male), 650 (male), and 652 (male). 646 and 631 were born in spring 2011 and are almost three-years-old. 650 and 652 are nearly two-years-old and were born in 2012. This particular condor release is significant because eleven birds in Central California were lost in 2013 due to lead poisoning and other causes. As of as of January 31, 2014, there are a total of 410 living condors, of which 232 are in the wild. Fifty-eight condors reside in Central California. Besides the release site in Big Sur, condors are also being released in Baja California, Mexico, Southern California, and in Arizona near the Grand Canyon.

This new webcam along with the webcam installed in October of 2013, are tools that have transformed how field crews at Ventana Wildlife Society monitor the health of condors on a daily basis. “It can be stressful keeping track of a handful of birds when you know the entire wild population in California rests at just 128 individuals, but the Condor Cams allow us to do our job more efficiently and effectively,” said Joe Burnett, Senior Biologist at Ventana Wildlife Society. Through radio tags and webcams like this one, biologists attempt to determine the status of every condor each day, which is critically important given how few condors exist. This daily status information is used for ongoing research projects focused on condor survivorship, breeding success, and other vital statistics.

ABOUT THE CALIFORNIA CONDOR:

In 1987, the last wild California condor was taken into captivity to join the twenty-six remaining condors, in an attempt to bolster the population through a captive breeding program. Through the effort of California zoos and the Ventana Wildlife Society there are now about 232 California condors in the wild. For more than twenty years, Ventana Wildlife Society has made it a mission to save the bird from extinction by regularly trapping and treating condors suffering from high blood levels of lead. Prompt treatment has saved the lives of several birds in the flock. They monitor nests to ensure the greatest protection possible from potential threats to productivity. In 2013, Jerry Brown, Governor of California signed into law a phase out of lead ammunition throughout the state for all hunting. Lead from spent ammunition is the most significant problem for California condors and this new law gives hope for condor survival in the future; however, the new law, AB711, does not go into effect until 2019.

Being actively involved in a conservation partnership with Ventana Wildlife Society is very important to the Oakland Zoo. To learn more about this partnership go to http://youtu.be/7Bhm3k_OINA

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.

About Empower Network

Empower Network hosts one of the largest blogging communities and publishing platforms online in addition to providing educational and leadership training products and services to online marketers and start-up, home-based and small businesses. Empower Network offers a program through which affiliates can earn commissions off the sales of Empower Network products. Headquartered in St. Petersburg, Fla., David Wood and David Sharpe founded Empower Network in 2011 to empower small-business owners to make money online without dealing with the technical, marketing, payroll and overhead challenges that frustrate many entrepreneurs and small-business owners. Empower Network’s signature product is a viral blogging system geared toward helping its 30,000 affiliates and 70,000 members use the Internet to grow their businesses online, taking them from disenfranchisement to full self-empowerment through the use of blogs, direct sales and online marketing.

John Oswald Announces Release of ‘The Complete Debt Relief Manual’












Lake Worth, Fla. (PRWEB) August 23, 2013

Drowning in debt and divorced in 2006, author John Oswald started his journey to debt-freedom, which included getting swindled by a debt settlement company, lawsuits, an IRS repayment plan, debt settlements, Chapter 7 bankruptcy and recovery of his good credit rating. He learned that avoiding his own mistakes and dealing with debt problems, credit card companies, collectors, the IRS and attorneys would have been profoundly simple if he had known the secrets and methods that he reveals in his new economic book, “The Complete Debt Relief Manual: Step-By-Step Procedures for: Budgeting, Paying Off Debt, Negotiating Credit Card and IRS Debt Settlements, Avoiding Bankruptcy, Dealing with Collectors and Lawsuits, and Credit Repair – Without Debt Settlement Companies” (published by AuthorHouse).

Readers will learn from Oswald’s mistakes as he shows them how to eliminate all their debt in the fastest and safest way possible. With detailed procedures to help readers make a budget and decide the best strategy based on their situation, “The Complete Debt Relief Manual” has been written to keep readers away from creditors, the IRS, attorneys and debt consolidation companies.

“My book will help readers get out of debt quickly and repair their credit rating without wasting money,” he says. “I want readers to be able to change their mindset on budgeting and debt altogether.”

An excerpt from the book:

“If you’re reading this book, you are probably struggling to pay your mortgage and loan payments, medical bills, taxes, insurance, etc. You may be desperate enough to pay an attorney or debt consolidation firm to help you fight lawsuits or negotiate settlements with the credit card companies or other creditors. Or maybe you’ve already paid someone a bunch of money for help, only to be frustrated by continued phone calls from creditors, Sheriffs serving you court summonses, and your shrinking bank balance.”

Georgetown University and Urban Institute Researchers Release State-by-State Analysis on How the Affordable Care Act Will Create Opportunities for More Entrepreneurs











Washington, D.C (PRWEB) June 04, 2013

A team of nationally recognized researchers estimate that the number of self-employed entrepreneurs will be 1.5 million higher in 2014 because of the new health insurance options created by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation sponsored report was coauthored by Georgetown University’s Center on Health Insurance Reforms and the Urban Institute.

“Far too many people have had their dream of launching their own business delayed or denied because they couldn’t afford to give up the security of good health insurance,” said Sabrina Corlette, co-author of the report and director of the Georgetown University Center on Health Insurance Reforms. “That’s all about to change when the Affordable Care Act starts offering high-quality health insurance options that aren’t tied to employment.”

The researchers found the impact of the ACA on entrepreneurship will vary state by state, depending on the insurance market reforms states may already have in place. For example, they estimate an increase of 124,000 newly self-employed in Texas, 72,000 in Florida, 67,000 in Ohio and 60,000 in Pennsylvania because the ACA’s reforms will improve individual’s access to high quality health insurance that isn’t tied to their jobs. Massachusetts, however, will see no measurable change because many of the ACA’s reforms are already in place.

Provisions of the new health law that may encourage more people to start their own business include:


No applicant can be turned down because of a preexisting condition.

Individuals cannot be charged higher premiums because of their health status.

Insurers must offer plans with a comprehensive set of essential health benefits.

Tax credits to help low- or moderate- individuals and families will reduce premium costs.

Medicaid expansion, in some states, will provide coverage for those with the lowest incomes.

The research was funded by Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and published by the Center on Health Insurance Reforms (CHIR) and the Urban Institute. CHIR is composed of a team of nationally recognized experts on private health insurance and health reform. For more on the center’s work, please see our website and blog.

Dr. Seuss Read Across America Day Prompts GoBankingRates to Tackle Declining Financial Literacy with 2013 Release of the Five Best Personal Finance Books for Kids











Dr. Seuss Read Across America Day


El Segundo, CA (PRWEB) March 02, 2013

LiveScience.com has reported that 32 million Americans can’t read, a problem that prompted the NEA to develop the Dr. Seuss Read Across America Day. GoBankingRates.com recognizes the strong tie between literacy and financial literacy in the U.S., and helps improve both by releasing its list of the top five personal finance books for children on this day.

GoBankingRates.com, a national personal finance site dedicated to helping visitors find the best savings rates and money management resources, found disturbing data about the current state of financial literacy among Americans.

For instance, the Jump$ tart Coalition’s 2012 Making the Case for Financial Literacy report states that two in five U.S. adults graded themselves as a C, D, or F for their knowledge of personal finance, while over 77 million Americans admit they don’t pay all of their bills on time.

GoBankingRates managing editor, Casey Bond, explains, “The purpose of Read Across America is to encourage youngsters to become lifelong readers, but it’s also the perfect opportunity for teaching children about finance through books.” She adds, “We hope to essentially kill two birds with one stone by releasing this list and help develop literate, financially-savvy adults.”

Cognitech, Inc. Announces the Release of the Stand Alone 3D CSI AutoMeasure™ Software










Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) November 01, 2012

Cognitech, Inc. has announced the release of Cognitech’s stand alone AutoMeasure™ software. Cognitech’s AutoMeasure™ software is the world’s most comprehensive automatic forensic photogrammetry software for 3D CSI measurements and biometric measurements of subjects and vehicles in CCTV video.

Cognitech’s AutoMeasure™ software is the world’s only universal photo-video measurements software with fully automatic, any camera self-calibration for measuring any scene, including accident scenes, crime scenes, or subjects/vehicles/objects captured either by single or multiple view photos or videos with single or multiple cameras or video cameras. It can be used to measure linear, area, and volume dimensions and angles from any scene, provided the images of the scene exist or can be taken, and for any accurate measurement requesting application. It is equally applicable to land based and aerial imagery surveying and planning applications. Individuals and vehicles captured in the image can be comprehensively measured for the purpose of identification not to mention scene dimensions. Cognitech’s proprietary technology utilized here has been awarded several US Patents. The ability to derive accurate measurements does not depend on any extensive manual scene pre-measurements, the presence of linear structures or other markers, or the calibration knowledge and presence of the original evidence image camera. Cognitech’s AutoMeasure software user interface with automatic self-calibration is structured into a user-guided work-flow, and can be learned to be used in a matter of minutes. Accurate measurements from the crime scene can be performed by the investigator at any time by using available and prior collected scene images, even if the scene and the camera does not physically exist anymore.

Cognitech, Inc. CEO Dr. Lenny Rudin said, in regards to the release of Cognitech’s AutoMeasure™ software, “Any professional who needs to measure any scene while utilizing a photo or a video camera, rather than using tedious mechanical or expensive laser scanning tools, should review the comprehensive capabilities of Cognitech’s AutoMeasure™ software. Unlike traditional photogrammetry software, Cognitech’s AutoMeasure software does not quit when some or all of the evidence images come from an unknown/uncallibrated camera. Unlike other competing “forensic measurements” software plug-ins, which in reality are elementary geometry tools (i.e. they are not fit for professional photogrammetry), Cognitech’s AutoMeasure™ is a true full-featured professional 3D multi-view, stereo photogrammetric tool-set that does not depend on the presence of trivial, and not usually present data like perspective structural lines, etc. Cognitech’s patented automatic self calibration technology is currently the fastest high precision technology to determine internal camera calibration parameters needed for precision metrology.

About Cognitech, Inc.:

In 1994, Cognitech, Inc. was the first company that designed and developed the unique photogrammetric Measure software, meant to be used by forensic video investigators as a part of Cognitech’s Video Investigator tool-set. The recent scientific breakthroughs of Cognitech’s research team, and multiple USPTO Awards, proves that a quarter century later, Cognitech is still the true leader in the forensic image/video processing field. The unique comprehensive design of Cognitech’s forensic software combines the state of the art image/video/audio processing with the state of the art 3D photogrammetric analysis, all-in-one, thus making this software environment a tool of choice for Law Enforcement and Security professionals worldwide.

Latest Release of OpenCart 1.5.3 Framework Kicks up the E-Commerce Tool Market: NY Tech Firm Announces Special Upgrade Services











Infinite demands. Empowering solutions.


New York, NY (PRWEB) June 23, 2012

Online business and marketing have come a long way from its initial phase of limited features and resource availability. Users expect much more sophistication, compatibility and functionality in web portals. When compared to other e-Commerce tools, OpenCart always offered a visually attractive interface and other brilliant features appropriate for small and mid level businesses.

But OpenCart mostly fell out of favor with large businesses and operations due its poor template engine.

Highlights of the upgraded OpenCart

    Vat Rate lookup API( compatible with all countries implementing VAT)
    CKEditor( for instant edit of WebPages)
    Better template engine
    Option of manual approval of certain customer group choices.
    jQuery (WebPages have more options like multi-level menus, slideshows and other effects)

To deliver on all platforms that they fell short, OpenCart has now released an upgraded version, which features enhanced capabilities for businesses worldwide. The new version OpenCart 1.5.3 offers many high-end features including Vat Rate lookup API, separate tax ID fields, CKEditor (for editing WebPages with ease) limit, and best of them all jquery integration.

“The market was dominated by Zencart, Magento, Prestashop, OsCommerce and VirtueMart. But these tools weren’t compatible for global operations, they were more suited to North American markets. This is where OpenCart scores as a brilliant e-Commerce framework. For instance VAT and other tax details are vital for online business in European countries along with some Asian countries like India and China. The VAT rate lookup API setting in the upgraded OpenCart lets developers implement tax settings for different countries with ease,” says Vinod Subbaiah, CEO of Asahi Technologies.

“Also OpenCart efficiently addresses site loading time issues, which websites face while implementing Magento, Zencart and OsCommerce,” continued Vinod on the completeness and compatibility of OpenCart for businesses.

About Asahi Technologies

Asahi Technologies is a New York based web design and development firm that provides software consulting and development solutions to small and medium level businesses all across North America. Asahi Technologies specializes in responsive design, cloud computing, online marketing, mobile application development and open source technologies.

Most current Software Release v1.12 Caps a Breakthrough Year in 2011 for indeni











Tel Aviv, Israel (PRWEB) December 28, 2011

indeni, the leader in security infrastructure monitoring, today announced the final 2011 version release of its advanced security monitoring system. indeni v1.12 adds significant enhancements to the user interface, far more monitoring signatures, and new functions, such as a effective security infrastructure well being check tool. These enhancements, along with one more key technologies partnership with HP, confirm indeni’s position at the forefront of the business.

“This has been a breakthrough year for us,” says Elad Ben-Meir, VP Items and Technique, indeni. “We have moved the method far beyond its beginning location as the 1st genuinely proactive security monitoring technique, which was already way ahead of the market at the commence of the year. It now gives such breadth of coverage, as well as capabilities like performance and configuration wellness-check tools, that moving into 2012 we anticipate indeni to be a really indispensable tool in a security administrator’s armory.”

Proof of indeni’s emergence as a major player in the network security monitoring space lies in its expanding net of technology partnerships with security solutions providers such as CA Technologies (CA Spectrum), IBM Tivoli (NetcoolOMNIbus) and HP (HP Operations Manager), who have worked with indeni to make the technique compatible with their network management solutions.

On the feature side, indeni’s most recent release consists of a far more intuitive user interface, user-requested functions such as an export capability for alert data, new signatures relating to certain infrastructure efficiency and vulnerability concerns, and new reporting tools. Both live and archived alert info can now be exported in multiple formats (.xml, .csv, and .pdf) for offline viewing and wellness-check or presentation purposes.

“We are quite attuned to what our users want and want, and we take pains to incorporate requested attributes as rapidly as achievable,” says Ben-Meir. “Giving our clients the potential to view alert data offline was a popular request and we are pleased to have been in a position to supply it in time for this release.”

In addition, indeni continues to cut the time necessary to integrate new devices. Its new on-connection device querying function ensures that when devices are successfully added to indeni’s list of monitored devices, the program quickly executes all of the relevant signatures and checks for the particular device type, within the regular safeguards against over-utilizing device resources (CPU usage, memory, etc.).
