Phoenix Home Remodeling Company, Republic West Remodeling

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) February 14, 2012

Phoenix home remodeling company, Republic West Remodeling, announced it has successfully completed a North Scottsdale garage and workshop project within the established 10-week schedule and budget. The project included a large-scale, detached garage and workshop that was built from the ground-up.

In addition to a tight schedule, complex planning and zoning requirements also added to the project’s challenges. Significant effort was involved in completing the process through the necessary regulatory agencies. The project was effectively permitted and inspected through the city of Scottsdale and Scottsdale Fire Department.

The project location also presented some unique issues. Local wildlife, including Javelina, frequent the area and can be destructive to surrounding vegetation. Special precautions had to be taken during construction to prevent wild animals from entering the backyard.

“This new garage and workshop provides more storage, function and square footage that will undoubtedly add value to the customer’s property,” said Jim Weisman, owner of Republic West Remodeling, a leading Phoenix home remodeling company. “By delivering completed projects as promised, our customers have come to appreciate the work we do and readily refer our company to other homeowners.”

Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) February 19, 2012

Honey Agency, a boutique social media design and development agency, announced today a new, complete ‘Social Commerce As a Service’ solution with its partner, eWinery Solutions, a leading global provider of comprehensive business solutions exclusively for the wine industry.

The dynamic and comprehensive new solution provides end-to-end social commerce tools that utilize many of eWinery Solutions’ software tools – ecommerce, CRM, wine club, content management, social media, and marketing – and include a fully integrated and customizable Facebook ecommerce store. eWinery Solutions partnered with Honey Agency because of their extensive experience in creating innovative and cost-effective revenue-generating social media programs for wineries big and small.

Using the eWinery Solutions Social Commerce As a Service offering, wineries will be able to quickly and easily leverage the power of social media by integrating their winery Facebook community activities into a custom-built Facebook store, including ShipCompliant real-time compliance checking for all transactions.

The Facebook Uncorked solution includes:

    Social eCommerce: A fully integrated eWinery store within Facebook.

    Custom Welcome Page: A default page introduces the winery brand and prompts the ‘Like’ icon to grow the winery’s fan base.

    Custom Profile Picture: Breaks the mold of typical profile pictures by utilizing all available real estate and differentiates the winery brand.

    Website Facebook Integration: Winery customers can ‘Like’ a wine on the winery website and auto-post to their Facebook Timeline.

    Add-on Options: The social commerce solution can also include customized recipe apps, contests and sweepstakes, integration with winery blogs, and embedded videos.

“Wineries are still in the very early stages of using social media as a sales channel,” says Honey Agency’s Agency Principal Meghan Phillips. “But Facebook has now really developed as a one-stop platform for businesses and consumers, and there is significant opportunity for wineries to convert Facebook users into consumers.”

Dick Kline, founder and CEO of eWinery Solutions, explained the increasing importance of social commerce as a component of consumer direct sales and marketing. “Just putting a mirror image of a winery website on Facebook is not the right objective,” says Kline. “With the unique social media design concepts of the Honey Agency, we can provide a seamless shopping experience with brand-building potential for winery advocates who are visiting and communicating within the winery’s Facebook page.”

Facebook Uncorked is available exclusively through Honey Agency and eWinery Solutions, with a base price of $ 1,995, depending on the degree of customization required by the winery.

Bakersfield, CA (PRWEB) February 10, 2012

The Grossman Burn Center at San Joaquin Community Hospital (SJCH) is excited to join with burn care centers, burn injury survivors and burn treatment caregivers across the country to celebrate National Burn Awareness Week from Feb. 5-11. In honor of this event, Bakersfield’s Grossman Burn Center (http://www.sjch.us/burncenter) has put together these helpful tips to encourage household fire safety and prevent burn injury accidents.

According to the American Burn Association, more than 450,000 people receive medical treatment for a burn injury each year. Of those, 25,000 are admitted to specialized burn centers which are best equipped for caring for burns survivors, on both a short-term and long-term basis. However, with only 125 burn centers in the United States, many people simply do not have access to a burn center. Since the physical aspects of a serious burn injury often requires years of reconstructive surgeries and therapies, it is vital for families – especially those with children – to understand how to prevent and treat burn injuries.

Since opening in 2009, the Grossman Burn Center at SJCH has cared for hundreds of burns, with nearly 40 percent involving children. Jacqui Engstrand, manager of the outpatient Grossman Burn Center, emphasizes taking the proper steps to safeguard your home against burn accidents.

“In Kern County, we’ve observed that organizations are employing more training and ensuring that best-practice precautions are instituted to prevent burn accidents on the job. Unfortunately, people are not employing the same steps in their homes.”

Although accidents do happen, most burns are preventable. There are many simple steps that families can follow to keep all members of the household safe.

Housekeeping—Keep tabs on the temperature:

     •    Keep fire exits and escape routes clutter-free.

     •    Store flammable materials – such as paint thinner – in original, tightly sealed containers and away from ignition sources.

     •    Store gasoline and other fuels outside and out of reach.

     •    Keep matches and lighters in a secure place.

     •    Unplug electrical tools when not in use.

     •    Ensure you have smoke detectors in every room in your home. Check the batteries each month and change them once a year.

     •    Keep kids away from fireplaces. The glass in front of a fireplace can heat up to 200 degrees and cause serious hand burns.

     •    Check your water heater – 120 degrees is sufficient to wash clothes and dishes.

Kitchen—Keep it out of reach:

     •    Put pans on rear burners.

     •    Keep hot dishes and drinks away from the edges of counter tops.

     •    Keep appliance cords – like toasters – out of reach.

     •    Don’t leave food unattended.

     •    Avoid wearing loose clothing while cooking.

Bathroom—Test the water:

     •    If the bathtub water feels a little hot for you, it’s too hot for your child. Test the water by moving your hand back and forth after the tub is filled.

     •    Never leave your kids unattended in the bath tub. It only takes a second for a child to be burned.

The Grossman Burn Center at SJCH is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For more information, please call 661-869-6135 or visit us on the web at http://www.sjch.us/burncenter.

Ventis LS Multi-Gas Detector

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) February 14, 2012

Industrial Scientific, the global leader in Gas Detection as a Service, is pleased to announce the availability of the Ventis™ LS multi-gas detector as part of the Accenture Life Safety Solution. Using Wi-Fi and location-based technologies to remotely monitor those working in potentially hazardous environments, this wireless solution helps keep people safer.

The Accenture Life Safety Solution leverages the expertise of Industrial Scientific, as well as their unique Gas Detection as a Service solution known as iNet®. It also incorporates the leading technologies and processes of Accenture, AeroScout and Cisco. The solution is designed to continuously monitor employees working in plant environments across oil & gas, chemicals, petrochemicals, metals, mining, forest products and utilities.

The Ventis LS has the ability to detect one to four gases, including H2S, O2, LEL, CO, SO2 and NO2. In potentially hazardous conditions, the instrument alerts users through audible, visual and vibrating alarms. The instrument’s gas level information is then transmitted over Cisco’s Unified Wireless Network using the gas detector’s integrated Wi-Fi Tag from AeroScout. The gas detection information is then sent to a control room, where an operator can react to the data. Because of the gas detector’s wireless technology, the operator can quickly locate the employee in danger, and organize rescue operations. A separate alert would be sent to the control room if lack of motion is detected or if the individual activates the detector’s panic button.

The Accenture Life Safety Solution extends itself beyond the plant’s confines. Operators can go outside of the plant with the same functionality using a combination of Wi-Fi and cellular communications.

The solution was initially field tested at two units at Marathon Petroleum Corporation’s (NYSE: MPC) Robinson, Ill., refinery. After successful testing, it was later deployed through the remaining refinery units, tank farm and outside the refinery fence line to include remote workers.

“Our deployment of this pioneering solution follows extensive evaluation of its functionality and costs,” said Don McCord, operations manager, Illinois Refining Division, MPC. “The tested solution gives our workers a greater sense of confidence that their safety is being monitored in ways that have never been possible before in our industry. In addition, its proven cost effectiveness has allowed us to deploy the solution across the entire refinery.”

Emerson Network Power LCC250

Anaheim, Calif. (PRWEB) February 14, 2012

At the Medical Design & Manufacturing (MD&M) West Exposition, Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson and the global leader in enabling Business-Critical Continuity™, today expanded its LCC250 series of 250 Watt sealed fanless ac-dc power supplies with the addition of a new 48 Vdc model. With approval to the international EN60601-1 safety standard for medical electrical equipment, LCC250 power supplies are ideal for a wide range of sealed box and desktop healthcare applications, where the absence of cooling fans can help minimize dust and noise. These power supplies are high efficiency designs, typically achieving 91 percent at full load.

The LCC250 power supply series includes conduction-cooled models providing full useable power at elevated temperatures. Unlike many power supplies on the market, which typically require output derating above approximately 55 degrees Celsius, Emerson Network Power LCC250 supplies fed from a nominal 115 Vac input are capable of maintaining their full 250 W load capacity up to their maximum baseplate temperature of 85 degrees Celsius. This makes them especially cost-effective for users who would otherwise need to budget for larger or additional power supplies.

A robust fully-sealed enclosure provides the LCC250 series with IP64 protection against the ingress of dust and water. This makes them ideal for applications that require the power supply to be located in the same outdoor environment as the equipment it is powering, such as bulk power for outdoor signage and for telecom installations such as antenna and base station equipment. The power supplies are equally suitable for indoor use, such as in control consoles, indoor signage and desktops for medical applications. They are also capable of operating in constant-voltage or constant-current mode, which is frequently a requirement for LED lighting applications.

A very compact 7 inch by 4 inch (178 mm by 101 mm) footprint enables them to be accommodated easily in end users’ equipment. The conduction-cooled versions have a height of just 1.1 inch (28 mm), while the convection-cooled versions feature an integral low profile heat sink which raises their overall height to 1.5 inch (38 mm).

Active power factor correction is employed to minimize input harmonic current distortion. The power supplies have a safety-ground leakage current of less than 275 µA when fed with a 250 Vac input, and provide an output hold-up time of at least 16 ms when fed with a 115 Vac input and delivering full load. Overcurrent and overtemperature protection are fully auto-recovering; overvoltage protection is latching and requires the ac input to be recycled before output power can be restored.

Safety approvals include UL/CSA/TUV 60950/60601-1, CE Mark (LVD), CB certification and China CCC. The power supplies are also fully compliant with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) per EU directive 2002/95/EC.

The conduction and convection cooled versions of Emerson Network Power’s LCC250 power supplies are available at the competitive prices of $ 103 and $ 109 respectively per unit in production quantities. Sample quantities are available now. For additional information, please see the LCC250 websheet.

A high resolution photo of the LCC250 series is available.

Vitamin D

(PRWEB) February 16, 2012

Natural based health and wellness products and supplements provider, True Healthy Products currently has two products that contains organic vitamin D, “9 A Day Plus” and “Vitamin D”, and is now offering the 100% organic Vitamin D supplement at a discount.

The company’s organic Vitamin D Supplement is now available online at a discounted price: http://www.truehealthyproducts.com/products/dietary/vitamin-d

“Without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle or misshapen. Vitamin D sufficiency prevents rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults [1]. Together with calcium, vitamin D also helps protect older adults from osteoporosis. Vitamin D has other roles in the body, including modulation of cell growth, neuromuscular and immune function, and reduction of inflammation [1,2,3],” quoted from Office of Dietary Supplements, National Institutes of Health, http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminD-HealthProfessional/.

The company’s long standing wholefood multivitamin, “9 A Day Plus” contains the same organic vitamin D as their “Vitamin D” supplement but at a lower dose of 600 IU. “9 A Day Plus” provides nine daily servings of fruits and vegetables, probiotics, digestive enzymes, fatty acids, and a multivitamin mineral complex.

Learn more about the company’s “9 A Day Plus” whole food multivitamin on their website:

http://www.truehealthyproducts.com/products/dietary/9-a-day-plus

True Healthy Products points out several times in the articles featured on their website that people in general have more reason than ever to choose natural over synthetic supplementation. The key reasons cited are that natural vitamins are able to absorb quickly into the body, providing more complete nutrition. Many people do not consume a well balanced diet and should append this imbalance through food based supplementation for better health.

New facade of The Modern lofts, designed by BOKA Powell

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) February 15, 2012

This week, BondRok Partners announced the completion of The Modern loft condominiums. With 83 mid-rise lofts ranging from 1,234 to 2,723 square feet, this new community presents a simple, clean style and a wealth of amenities including a resort-style pool and sun deck, two-story fitness center, three open courtyards, and an on-site concierge.

BOKA Powell was retained to create a clean, modern identity for the model condominiums, common areas and front entry. Three model residences are being furnished in a simple, sophisticated style, designed to appeal to a range of potential buyers:

1)    Loft space: Designed with the bachelor in mind, using black, greys, whites, leather with modern art.

2)    Two bedroom: Offers a super white, clean look, with natural wood, leather and textures.

3)    Two bedroom + study: Provides a mix of contemporary and modern elements, artwork and furnishings suitable for families.

“Our approach with The Modern was to design for today’s primary home buyer, with a modest, clean look. We used a lot of natural wood and contemporary furnishings,” said Caroline Edsell, designer, BOKA Powell.

The furnishings were selected from affordable, quality stores including Room & Board and West Elm. Each unit is upgraded with European style cabinetry, travertine and solid surface countertops, KitchenAid Architect® Series appliances, Kohler plumbing fixtures and modern designer sinks. The lofts have ceilings reaching 21 feet high and include a private terrace or balcony.

BOKA Powell selected the furnishings and provided creative direction for the shared community amenities, including three open courtyards, a resort-style pool and spa, a sun deck with wet bar and cabanas, shaded poolside verandas, multiple barbeque grills, fire pits and pet parks.

“Having worked with BOKA Powell previously on the St. Regis Dallas development, we knew their superior design sensibility and understanding of clean, well-appointed living spaces would serve as a perfect complement to our vision for The Modern,” said Patrick Humes, principal with BondRok Partners. “We set out to create a stylish community that was unprecedented in Las Vegas and with BOKA Powell’s assistance, we have achieved that.”

BOKA Powell also created hyper realistic renderings of the project using sophisticated 3D Max visualization software. These renderings will be instrumental in demonstrating the potential and flexibility of the residential units to potential buyers.

The bank-owned property was originally developed under the name Luxe Lofts. BondRok Partners and CrossHarbor Capital Partners LLC bought the stalled project in May 2011 and retooled the design and construction to create The Modern. For more information, floor plans and a list of amenities, visit http://www.themodernlv.com.
