His philosophy is geared towards taking individuals from being merely talented to realising their full potential, based on the understanding that “Great Teams” are made of “Great Individuals”.

The Sports Performance & Tech Summit will focus on technologies that are augmenting the traditional approach to sports performance. We will show how novel methods for measuring familiar areas like fitness and health can create opportunities for sports professionals to excel in new areas of athletic achievement. Regimen’s built on practice and repetition, along with new technological methods, help teach good habits that continually push the limits of performance. “Allowing individuals to be more informed with greater insight and choices about their fitness is one of the primary goals of sports technology,” said William Tubbs, Summit Director. “Technology now makes it easier for individuals to track progress, reach specific goals and prevent injuries.”

The Sports Performance & Tech Summit is the perfect opportunity to share insight and best practices with leaders and experts from across the field in an interactive environment.

Unrelenting Nightmare: The cutthroat world of tech












LOS ANGELES –

(PRWEB) August 27, 2014 — It is not often you meet someone who leaves a successful career to chase his dreams.

Stan Yocum always knew he wanted to be a writer. After obtaining a degree in theater arts, Yocum shifted to a left-brain career in the analytical business world. 30 years later, the dream was still knocking and Yocum left his career as a businessman to become a full-time author. Eight manuscripts and two published books later, Yocum is establishing himself as a prominent voice in indie-suspense novels.

Yocum’s thriller “Unrelenting Nightmare” follows Stuart Garrison, a virtual reality software developer on the cusp of industry domination, as he navigates a deadly cat-and-mouse game with an international assassin hired by his fierce competitor. The stakes are high, as Garrison tries to outwit his clever potential killer while releasing an innovative new technology to the world.

Yocum brings his theater background and extensive experience in the business world to “Unrelenting Nightmare” while tackling important topics in today’s society, such as the prevalence of violence and the impact of virtual reality on youth.

“The story may be about virtual reality, but this book is grounded in the truth of the competitive nature of power, position, and wealth,” Yocum said.

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.
