Vaisala’s New HUMICAP(r) Humidity and Temperature Transmitters

MAR 24 2011 /RTPR/ — Continuous humidity and temperature monitoring is essential in ensuring the high quality of both processes and end products in life science and microelectronics industries. To ensure accurate and stable measurement data, Vaisala introduces two new humidity and temperature transmitters, designed for use in cleanrooms and demanding HVAC applications specifically.

The new Vaisala HUMICAP® Humidity and Temperature Transmitters HMT120 and HMT130 complement Vaisala’s existing offering of relative humidity measurement instruments that covers various applications from monitoring to ventilation and process control in demanding environments.

In addition to delivering accurate and reliable measurement data, the new transmitters are durable, easy-to-use and easy-to-install. Further, their smooth enclosure finish is resistant to dust and cleaning agents, which means that the transmitters are ideal for installation in cleanrooms and other critical environments with very high level of cleanliness and air quality requirements.

“Maintaining constant environmental conditions in production and storage environments is everything to our customers. The new transmitters incorporate Vaisala’s state-of-the-art HUMICAP® humidity sensor technology with guaranteed high measurement performance, which – especially when used in conjunction with the Vaisala Veriteq Continuous Monitoring System – means that our customers can rest assured that their products remain protected at all times,” says Jan Grönblad, Regional Market Manager for Vaisala’s Life Science and High Technology business.

Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, the transmitters can be either wall-mounted or used with a remote probe for installation in ceilings, chambers or air ducts. Calibration and maintenance are made simple, quick and cost-effective by making the transmitters’ measurement probes fully interchangeable. As a result, calibration does not need to be done onsite, and the probes can be replaced without having to remove and re-adjust the transmitter.

High Blood Pressure Insurance from First Preferred Insurance

Dania Beach, FL – 24/03/2011 – High Blood Pressure is not a matter to worry these days. The illness can be cured by proper dieting and exercise. Also known as hypertension, it is caused due to excess pressure on the blood vessel walls of circulatory system. High Blood Pressure can sometimes affect the life insurance rates. Some companies have taken strict decisions on insurance for high blood pressure. Life insurance companies usually scan various factors before giving in the insurance coverage like the medical history of the patient, the cause, the treatment undergoing, and time span that the patient has been on blood pressure medications and steps taken to lower the patient’s blood pressure. There are insurance companies, which have gone to the extent of taking fine from the patients on grounds that they have already been taking pills for high blood pressure at the time of applying for the insurance plan.

However, First Preferred Insurance is an exception, giving full support to patients having high blood pressure. Realizing the fact denying high blood pressure insurance is very painful; this company provides insurance rates that are quite affordable and reasonable. According to First Preferred Insurance, high blood pressure and hypertension are no longer reasons that can prevent an individual from availing the specific insurance plan. Blood pressure is mainly a life style disease. There is nothing to worry about this illness if treated properly. But once left untreated, it can contribute heart disease. By thickening the walls of arteries over time, this can lead to a state known as atherosclerosis. Similarly as a result of hardening blood vessels, it may badly affect the eyesight too. The artery hardening can affect the brain leading to stroke. High blood pressure can affect the circulation in kidneys, a condition called Proteinuria, which results in excess protein in urine.

First Preferred Insurance also provides HIPAA compliant creditable health insurance for high blood pressure or hypertension with benefits. It also offers schemes for victims of accidents, injury or other sickness. They also have expert agents who know their clients’ needs and wants. All these plans are reasonable and easy to apply. Clients who want to apply have to follow a simple procedure of filling up a simple form that is available on the official website of the company and clicking on the “Request Quote” button. After getting registered, they can claim their benefits of high blood pressure insurance and other schemes.

First Preferred Insurance is a well known health insurance company which offers more than 300 health plans for over 500,000 providers. It provides high blood pressure insurance patients. The HIPAA compliant creditable health insurance for high blood pressure can benefit clients during any accidents or sickness.

Tamara Hill-Norton in Vogue Feature

Tamara Hill-Norton, Creative Director of British Activewear brand Sweaty Betty is featured in British Vogue as one of the most innovative women changing the landscape of fitness today. “Form Mistresses, a new breed of female fitness mavens are changing the way we work out.”

“With her textiles degree, passion for fitness and penchant for underwear, it’s no surprise Tamara Hill -Norton ended up opening Sweaty Betty.” Jessica Hogan, Vogue Health and Beauty Associate interviewed Tamara Hill-Norton, amongst 4 other women, demonstrating the emerging trend of female entrepreneurs pioneering at the forefront of fitness in Britain today. Hill-Norton is the Creative Director and co-founder of Sweaty Betty, premium British activewear brand. “Sweaty Betty exists to inspire and empower women through fitness and the feel good factor it generates, my aim is to make you feel good in clothes that perform,” says Hill-Norton.

Hogan successfully tracks the development of the brand, from the realisation that the British Sportswear market was “male focused and intimidating,” noting that the first store in Notting Hill was affectionately “christened Sweaty Betty after a tipsy brainstorm with friends,” to the reality that is now 25 boutiques nationwide stocking “luxe own brand fitness clothing, exercise apparel and gym wear.”

With Yoga mannequins in-store based on Christy Turlington, Tamara’s ethos of “setting goals – the key is self-motivation” and the cool-factor that dictates Tracy Anderson (trainer to the stars) wants a piece of the action giving guest instructor evenings at the Kings Road Boutique, it is no wonder Hill-Norton was picked out as a 21st century form mistress of fitness.

Small Business Owners Expanding Ability To Take Credit Cards Easily

[Lake Zurich, IL] March 24, 2011 – While the economy might look to be in shambles to many members of the public thanks to the media’s focus on markets where problems exist, many in small business are finding the current times to be ripe with opportunity. Entrepreneurs are finding new ways to succeed in a challenging environment and continuing in the tradition of many one upstart companies that are today major corporations even though they got their starts during tremendous economic down times. New hi tech solutions are definitely making a big difference and, as most know today, online business opportunities are changing lives. However, just as much is happening offline today, with a number of small businesses finding that they are able to shift from the limitations of cash or check only business models that they used to be reliant on thanks to online payment processing services such as the popular PayPal and low cost Small Business Credit Card Processing equipment that allows them to process credit cards by hand using easy scanner technology. Since there is not a tremendous amount of money that must be invested in order to make use of this solution, a lot of business owners are finding that it is a terrific way for them to super charge their business opportunities.

Quite a wide range of businesses are taking advantage of these new devices, many of which can easily be connected with a laptop PC that they would typically own already. By processing cards on the go in this fashion, service industry pros are better able to handle credit card payments and retail shops, too, are now able to process such cards without having the incredibly high expense of setting up merchant accounts. This is changing things on Main Street in a big way, all around the United States and many other countries, as well. With tools such as a thermal printer at their disposal, businesses of all sizes are able to print out very professional looking receipts that customers appreciate. This is allows even a one or two person venture to have the same level of professional credibility that a large company would typically have. Small business advocates say that this revolution in payment processing is showing that, given the tools required, entrepreneurs can once again transform down times in the economy to better times and create wealth along the way.

Music to Download – Waterfalls of Love by Shirley Martin

March 23, 2011 – Pop music lovers around the world will surely be delighted once they hear the distinctly enthralling voice of Shirley Martin. Listen to her own brand new song “Waterfalls of Love” and you will definitely agree that it is akin to a Katy Perry music with a refreshing twist of a Selena Gomez number. It’s no hype. You have to hear it and let your ear for great music be the judge. If you are looking for music to download, this is it.

“Waterfalls of Love” is a new song written and recorded by Shirley Martin. It is a very positive and uplifting song. Indeed, it is easy listening music at its finest. Too bad it is not yet available in music stores worldwide. However, Shirley has graciously offered it as free music to download so every music lover can enjoy her distinct brand of music.

Growing up in Thunder Bay in Ontario, Canada, Shirley started singing at the very tender age of 10 with the church choir. Showing a great inclination for music even at a young age, she took piano and voice lessons. Later, she also enlisted for professional songwriting lessons and wrote music for several recording artists. However, no one can do better justice to her songs than Shirley herself.

Now living in Powell River with her husband and their two kids (and their cat, Coco too), Shirley does the rounds of night clubs either with groups or as a solo artist. And she still sings with church choirs as she has not forgotten her roots. In between gigs, she writes songs while maintaining a website for her music.

Shirley is currently working on a new full-length cd collection. She has so far completed several songs and a few more are coming up very soon. You can check them out at her website. She has written over 60 lyrics and she is in the process of putting melodies to some of them. Just to give you an idea on what type of music she writes, these are in the same genre and comparable to the songs of Hilary Duff and Celine Dion, to which Shirley injects and blends with her own brand of music.

Shirley Martin has devoted her whole life to music. From her humble beginnings as a church choir singer, she has gone a long way. She has done a lot of songs for other recording artists and has recorded her own songs as well. She is a well-rounded musician and has done practically everything in the field of music. Now, she is ready and she wants to share her music to the whole world.

Quality Litho printing for easy, breezy results

The term litho printing is just one of its many names. It is called lithography, lithographic printing, or planography. The basic concept of this form of printing is that water and oil do not mix. Compared to intaglio or relief printing wherein image and data are in different levels, this one uses only a single surface. That means the printing surface is flat. In this process, a flat stone is used, the surface is treated so that the areas with images will get the oil based inks and the non image will repel them. When that stone is pressed on the surface, the surface with oils will imprint the design. This form of printing is used as an art but it is also used for commercial processes also. Of course for modern and commercial uses, instead of flat stones, metal plates are used by printers.

Litho printing has a lot of uses right now in the modern setting. Let us start with the more artistic and less common uses of this printing tradition. The most popular artists of the 19th century like Delacroix and Goya used this method to create artistic lithographic posters. Some modern artists also make use of this tradition. Now let us look at the modern or commercial use of litho printing. This is very popular for offset printing. It can be used for magazines, postcards, fliers, marketing materials and many other print projects. This means the printing method is still very much relevant in our world right now.

If you need to have marketing paraphernalia to be done overnight or a paper to be done or just about any other processes done with speed and accuracy, you can take advantage of the litho printing services offered by Precision. This company has been in the business for more than 4 decades already and they offer modern litho printing services, take advantage of the various machines they have for litho printing.
