Unique New Book, Charity The Gifts of Giving, Discusses Benefits Donors Receive from Giving

Avid philanthropist and budding author Garret Biss recently released a thought-provoking new book entitled “Charity The Gifts of Giving.”

New Bern, NC (USA), April 13th, 2015 — Avid philanthropist and budding author Garret Biss recently released a thought-provoking new book entitled “Charity The Gifts of Giving.” The unique book discusses how charitable giving, kindness and acts of generosity have an impact not just on recipients, but also on donors. Giving time, money and other resources generates positive energy, feelings of gratitude, a sense of control and many other benefits, according to the book.

Charitable giving is a concept everyone understands and often engages in, but people seldom consider—and discuss—the positive effect that practicing benevolence has on donors. This is the main impetus behind “Charity The Gifts of Giving,” says Biss. “My purpose for this book was to inspire more involvement with charity and selfless acts in everyone’s life,” he says. “If speaking about how these acts benefit us is one way to inspire greater generosity, then this is a story that must be told for the benefit of each of us and all of us.”

“Charity The Gifts of Giving” is designed to focus on a different perspective on philanthropy. The book contains a wealth of insights and information to help readers capitalize on the benefits of charitable giving. For example, it discusses how generosity can help combat anxiety and manage stress, practical ways to give on any budget, websites that help donors give quickly and easily in any way they choose, and how to create a more fulfilling life experience and more joyful interaction with others.

Biss’s book is available at Amazon.com, where it is already being well-received by readers. Here are just some of the favorable comments from reviewers:
* “I have already recommend this book to many of my friends and will continue to. It’s amazing how a simple act of kindness can promulgate happiness to everyone around the giver and the recipient, the message. I this book is simple but speaks volumes to the reader.” (Justin Lopez)
* “This is an inspiring, honest look at the impact of giving and generosity on one’s personal perspective, mindset, and life.” (Dawn Michel)
* “Biss shares a very interesting and unique spin on the act of giving and contribution. I especially liked the idea of making donations as a way of overcoming stress and even depression.” (Coach Bobby G)
* “After reading his book, I’m closer to walking in my purpose and he simply explains why we all should give of ourselves in order to make this a better world. So, take the opportunity to read this book, and your life just simply can’t be the same.” (Corey Prudie)
* “This was a great read and a great reflection on what is at the heart of giving.” (C and J)

“Charity The Gifts of Giving” is available on Amazon in three formats: Kindle for $3.99; audible audio edition for $6.08; and paperback for $8.95. The proceeds from each copy sold will be used to further the efforts of One Million Goal Inc. Established by Biss, One Million Goal Inc. is working to generate enough money and awareness to make a difference with the world’s water problem. As signified by its name, the goal of the non-profit organization is to bring drinking water to one million men, women and children. The need is great, as almost 750 million people lack access to clean drinking water and an estimated 1,700 children die every day from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday.

Biss has concentrated much of his philanthropic efforts toward addressing the world’s water crisis. His passion in this area is fueled by his belief that water is the most basic of human needs. Biss feels water is not only a necessity for life, but is also vital for making the world a better place. “Even if you have the seed, the soil and the sunshine, the miracle of life doesn’t begin until you add water,” he says. “Fighting tyranny, poverty or disease will provide no enduring cure for suffering if we don’t start by providing water.”

There is also a broader issue at stake, Biss says. “Not only is the water crisis a thirst issue, it is also a gender equality issue, a health issue, a poverty issue, an education issue, a terrorism issue, as well as many more issues,” he explains.

About Mods4cars:
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.

The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in Las Vegas and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.

Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.

The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.

Cirrus Data Launches Cache-as-a-Service Model for Caching Enterprise Data

Data Caching Server can be installed permanently or temporarily with no network changes.

New York, NY (USA), April 11th, 2015 — Cirrus Data Solutions, a provider of applications that manage and optimize storage area networks (SANs), today announced the release of its Data Caching Server and Cache-as-a-Service model, now available to channel partners and data center service providers.

The Cirrus Data Caching Server is a Fibre Channel-based cache solution that can be added on-the-fly to a live production environment in a matter of minutes without having to do wholesale changes to the data center. Data Caching Server can be installed as a permanent cache solution or used like a Cache-as-a-Service model for temporary cache needs.

Data Caching Server is based upon proprietary and patented technology called “Transparent Datapath Intercept” which was built on the notion that data appliances should look like a wire when installed into a live SAN. Because of this intercept, the Cirrus Server can be installed in-line between the switch and the storage unit, requiring no modifications to the existing environment.
DCS4500_real_app
“We at StorageMojo were looking for a product that addresses the speed craving that many legacy SAN environments are facing today with the ever increasing concurrent access to critical data,” stated Rene Eickoff CEO, StorageMojo Netherlands. “We evaluated Data Caching Server and found it to be the perfect product as it responds to all of these challenges. A significant added benefit that came with the product was the fact that the technology built into DCS allows for it to be inserted into any legacy SANs with no-downtime whatsoever and without having to change anything in the SAN.”

“Our new caching server and service represents a revolutionary way to address the need for speed for database administrators and a unique offering for service providers as the appliances can be installed and removed in a live production environment,” says Wayne Lam, CEO of Cirrus Data. “Our patented Transparent Datapath Intercept allows for true plug-and-play installation of the appliances within a heterogeneous environment.”

Wayne Lam will present the breakout session, “Flash Cache in the Data Center” at Data Storage Innovation Conference, April 9 at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara, CA. Lam’s presentation – “Flash Cache in the Data Center: The Future is Now” – will look at adding flash-based cache at the SAN level to enhance storage performance with absolutely zero downtime and no changes at the hosts, switches, or the storage.

Attendees can expect to receive a tutorial on Fibre Channel port spoofing and learn about the proprietary Transparent Datapath Intercept, a patented technology that eliminates the pain associated with installing appliances into a SAN.

Data Storage Innovation Conference is designed for IT end-users, architects, technical and product support specialists, engineers, consultants, vendors, channel partners and those expected to recognize and support data storage innovation as actual production solutions.

About Cirrus Data Solutions Inc.:
Headquartered in Long Island, New York, Cirrus Data Solutions is a privately-held software company specializing in developing enterprise-class storage software solutions. Its software appliances are sold/licensed through a network of systems integrators and channel partners including Cognizant, Dell, Fujitsu, IBM and Datalink.

“900 Voices” – Epic Video by GRAMMY® Winner Laura Sullivan

GRAMMY® winning composer, Laura Sullivan, called out to the world to join her in a powerful plan to make a music video.

Hollywood, CA, April 11, 2015 – GRAMMY® winning composer, Laura Sullivan, called out to the world to join her in a powerful plan to make a music video. Her request was simple.Take a video of yourself singing her song “900 Voices” and send it to her. The response was overwhelming.

938 people from Australia, Brazil, Israel, Croatia, Korea, Kenya, India, and many other countries, participated by making videos on their cell phones and sending them to Laura.

The result is epic. 27 languages included in one song and video about love and unity. The video will be released on April 9, 2015 and is titled “900 Voices.”

These 938 amazing people will make you happy. Elena from Bulgaria, still in her hospital gown, sings and sweetly kisses her newborn son. A group of children in Uganda, who were once homeless, sing and dance like they are the richest kids in the world. A fire department of tough guys from New Jersey gives it their all.

“I was hoping to get a lot of participation, but what I received back was beyond my wildest dreams. People from all over the world and from every walk of life sent in incredible videos. Watching them moved me to tears. I hope I have honored these hundreds of wonderful people by including them in the video,” says Laura.

The resulting video, with the blending of the many voices, faces, and languages, creates a powerfully moving experience that shines a light on the unifying power of love in our world.

“900 Voices,” promises to make you smile, and maybe even cry. 938 people, 27 languages, 1 song.

50% of the music proceeds of “900 Voices” are going towards the national nonprofit Little Kids Rock. This organization partners with economically disadvantaged school districts to run music programs. To date they have served more than 325,000 children in 13 states.

“Little Kids Rock is so grateful to Laura Sullivan for her support,” says Little Kids Rock Founder and CEO, David Wish. “It’s up to the big people to stand up for the little kids, and that is exactly what Laura is doing by including Little Kids Rock in her next project, inspiring our kids, and helping bring the lifelong gift of music to even more kids in our nation’s most economically challenged school districts!”

Laura Sullivan is a producer, author and GRAMMY® winning composer and recording artist. Her original music has been included in the score of two Emmy winning documentaries, as well as in many popular television programs and advertisements for Fortune 500 companies. Her music publications are represented by BMI, which holds more than 500 of her original compositions in her prolific Composer/Songwriter catalog.

Female Minster and Author Helps Quench Spiritual Thirst through Inspirational Truths

Writing has always been a passion of minster and businesswoman Dianna Caraballo. Wanting to inspire and help motivate those around her is something she learned at a young age.

Brooklyn Heights, OH (USA), April 11th, 2015 — Writing has always been a passion of minster and businesswoman Dianna Caraballo. Wanting to inspire and help motivate those around her is something she learned at a young age. Being one of eight siblings and growing up in a large family, it was important to support one another in good or bad times. However, Caraballo knew God wanted more for her.

“Becoming a minster was a very rewarding day in my life,” says Dianna. “God has a purpose for us all and we all need each other collectively, even if our purposes are different.”

Caraballo’s call to serve God did not stop after He called her to minster. She soon went on to pen two books (both published by Halo Publishing, Int.), Women Were Designed for Greatness Too! and A Little Drink of Water: A Devotional of Spiritual Awakening.

In her book Women Were Designed for Greatness Too!, Caraballo’s message is one of encouragement and hope for women everywhere. “A lot of what I share has to do with how women are brought up in church and taught there is a difference between men and women. In truth, we are to love one another as HE loves the church and us,” says Dianna. “I share a lot of the internal workings of different churches, but most importantly, my goal is to share that God can call anyone, man or woman, to do His work.”

In her recently released book, A Little Drink of Water: A Devotional of Spiritual Awakening, Caraballo shares the power of encouragement through seeing the good. “The inspiration for this book had a lot to do with social media and all the negative comments and postings being shared. Wanting to encourage and bring positive re-enforcement to my social media friends, I started posting an inspirational quote or thought of the day. This brought a big following and led me to compile these posts, and additional thoughts, into a book. My goal is to share God’s love, inspiration and help build self-esteem in our daily lives.”

As an author and mister, Dianna Caraballo hopes to help put an end to all the bad traditions, or what the population thinks are Christian traditions, and help those around her start living the way God wants us to live. She also hopes to share the message that we are to be co-leaders of the world and in God’s work.

“Many people are hurting, stressed out and need help,” says Halo Publishing Lisa M. Umina. “Many of us don’t know how to ask for help and people like Dianna Caraballo who reach out a hand and say, ‘Hope isn’t lost. I’m here to encourage you and see the good in you,’ who help us realize we are loved and there is good in our lives.”

You can purchase both of Dianna Caraballo’s books through Halo Publishing, Amazon and B&N.

Women Were Designed for Greatness Too!; ISBN: 9781612440422; Cost $13.95 (paperback)

A Little Drink of Water: A devotional of Spiritual Awakening; ISBN: 978-1-61244-325-6; Cost $13.95 (paperback)

Biography:
Dianna Caraballo currently resides in Ohio, is the mother of twins and currently holds a minister’s license. She is one of eight siblings and a businesswoman of 23 years. Her passion is to inspire and encourage good works in those around her, and to continue meeting others while speaking about God’s love. For more information, visit www.halopublishing.com

High School Students Release Children’s Book to Raise Funds for Bridge to Burundi Project

Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire and Halo Publishing International Partner with Students.

Hudson, Quebec (Canada), April 11th, 2015 — Westwood High School students have teamed up with Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire and Halo Publishing International to release their first children’s book, “Bakuru and the School on the Hill.” The book is a collaborative effort of writing and illustrations between about 30 students, alumni and teachers, along with a forward by Dallaire. The hope is that this book will raise awareness and funds for the Bridge to Burundi, a six-year project where students have been helping a small African village break the cycle of poverty.

The book takes the reader through the eyes of a young girl named Baruru who shows the history and culture of the Burundi school and how education changes the poverty cycle.

“We wanted to tie in global issues and human rights so the book would have a message,” says Nancy Koluzs, who headed up the book project through the school’s Literacy Project program. She’s also a major contributor to the Bridge to Burundi Project.

The idea to write a children’s book started after Halo author Valerie Redmond contacted Koluzs to get involved with the school’s literacy program. Halo Publisher Lisa M. Umina found out about the book project and wanted to help.

“I love giving back,” says Halo Publisher Lisa M. Umina. “Helping students by publishing a book to raise awareness and funds for global issues just made sense to me.”

Westwood teachers say the book will do more than just raise funds and awareness about the Bridge to Burundi Project.

“We believe this book will inspire kids to become active global citizens,” says Peter Nield, another teacher involved with the Bridge to Burundi. “No matter how small your efforts are, we teach students at Westwood that they can have a global impact.”

You can purchase “Bakuru and the School on the Hill” at www.HaloPublishing.com. Funds raised will go toward the Bridge to Burundi Project.

Bridge to Burundi Project:
The Bridge to Burundi Project started in October 2009 by students at Westwood High School as part of their annual Student Life camp. Westwood teacher and native Burundian Jean-Claude Manirakiza gave a presentation to the students on the state of education in his home country. Roused by the story of his life, the students decided to build an elementary school in Rwoga, Burundi. Eight months later, the first classroom opened to 60 first graders. Since then, another ten classrooms have been built, offering free education and supplies to more than 400 students. In addition, the students have raised more than $100,000 to build a medical centre, convenience store, and drinkable water to the village.

Cabby Turns Out To Be Billionaire!!

Local cab driver on the island of Kiki Loa writes a personal check for $15,000,000 to build a water desalinization plant for his fellow islanders a major resort can be built on the island.

Kiki Loa, April 10, 2015 – A few days ago, on the tiny island of Kiki Loa, a local cab driver named Akamai Kane, wrote a personal check for $15,000,000 to build a water desalinization plant for his fellow islanders. Further investigation now reveals that Mr. Kane is currently worth over $20 billion, making him among the wealthiest men in the world.

Kiki Loa is small island located approximately 1,700 miles due west of the Hawaiian island of Maui. Approximately 99% of Kiki Loa’s residents rely on sugar cane farming as their primary source of income. The remaining one percent of the islanders works in the island’s tourism trade, consisting of only a few small Bed and Breakfast Inns that attracted a hand full of adventurous tourists.

As it turns out, about a year ago a major hotel corporation came to Kiki Loa to investigate building a world class resort. Obviously, if selected this would mean the islanders could give up their torturous lifestyle of working the sugar cane fields as better employment would become readily available.

In an interview this afternoon with a member of the Resort’s site evaluation team; he stated that they found Kiki Loa’s natural beauty ideal for their desired project. This is because it has everything they wanted: lush rain forests, spectacular scenic views, abundant aquatic life on the island’s reefs, and miles of white sandy beaches. This same source also revealed, that unfortunately the evaluation team’s due diligence also found out that the island did not have large enough fresh water supplies to support the size project the hotel desired to build.

Over the next few months, the evaluation team continued to work on ways to try and make the project work. However, apparently in the end they could not justify the extra $15 million it would take to build the fresh water desalinization plant required to support the resort project.

A couple of months ago, the Governor’s office in Kiki Loa was informed by the resort’s representatives that unless it could find the resources to build its own desalinization plant within the next 60 day period, they would reluctantly have to choose another island for the project.

Obviously, this has been devastating news for the Islanders as there was no foreseeable way for them to get this done. Then two days ago, as the deadline was about to expire, the strangest thing happened. Akamai Kane, a native born Kiki Laotian and its only taxi driver, walked into the Governor’s office and presented him with a personal check for $15,000,000 to pay for the water plant.

At first everyone there thought that Mr. Kane was playing a joke trying to lighten up a sad situation. But to everyone’s amazement, they soon found out that this check was good; so Kiki Loa will now get its new Hotel Resort.

As a result, this news story ends on a happy note, as the future for the people of Kiki Loa is now much more secure and brighter!

Technology Filled Live Liner Fishing Reel Introduced

Maelstrom bait runner reels include features that are not available elsewhere in a higher price range.

Garden City, Long Island, NY (April 11, 2015) — Eposeidon Outdoor Adventure, Inc. (http://www.eposeidon.com) has announced the release of its newest fishing tackle product, the Ecooda Maelstrom bait runner spinning reel.

The Ecooda Maelstrom spinning reel has classic front and rear drag functions that are often referred to as bait runner or bait feeder style spinning reels.

Named after powerful swirling ocean vortexes that create havoc in the water, the Maelstrom has been designed with key features that are important to anglers. It was created by anglers for anglers through direct input from Team Eposeidon, Eposeidon’s Angler Consultant Staff for the North American market, which resulted in the reel’s technology loaded design.

“We took a look at what was out in the market for bait runner reels and realized we could build a reel with more features than our competition’s upper end models while keeping the price point on par with their low-end bait feeder reels. For example, we use eight high-quality stainless steel shielded ball bearings, and a triple disc carbon fiber drag washers, which exceeds other top of the line models,” says Tom Gahan, Marketing Director at Eposeidon, Inc.

The Maelstrom spinning reel lets a fish bite and run with trolled or drifted live bait without feeling the line or the reel’s drag. When the angler is ready to set the hook, a turn of the handle or a flip of the main drag lever instantly engages the pre-selected maximum front drag tension. The secondary drag can be set to zero to let line out or just enough tension added to control the action of live bait.

The Ecooda Maelstrom is equipped with eight high-grade shielded stainless steel ball bearings plus a stainless steel anti-reverse roller bearing, triple carbon fiber drag washers, stainless steel main shaft , a patented “Wonder Dome” forged aluminum spool that has near zero start up inertia resistance for smooth drag performance, special formula high modulus non-rusting graphite body, and a machined aluminum direct drive interchangeable left or right handed handle with oversized EVA nonslip grips. As a bonus, Maelstrom reels come with an additional graphite spool at no charge. Maelstrom is saltwater approved.

Darcy Hill, who targets big redfish with live bait near Charleston, SC and is a Team Eposeidon angler consultant says, “I’ve been a part of the Ecooda Maelstrom project since the idea of doing our own bait runner came to fruition last summer at ICAST (International Convention of Associated Sportfishing Trades). This reel will be an epic game changer for Eposeidon. I’m honored to have played a part in its creation!”

The Maelstrom bait runner is available in 2000, 3000, 4000, and 5000 class sizes. With a MSRP spanning from $64.98 – $70.98 the Maelstrom will initially be sold in the mid $50 range.

Tate Cui, Eposeidon‘s CEO stated, “Once again we have an opportunity to show the fishing community that they can have high quality, innovative fishing tackle at an affordable price. This has been the corporate mandate since the company was founded.”

Toronto (ON), Canada (April 10, 2015) — Zevrix Solutions today announces PDF Checkpoint 1.7.7, a maintenance update to its solution to automate PDF preflighting and conversion. Remarkably fast, PDF Checkpoint automatically preflights, exports as images, splits and optimizes multiple Adobe PDF files. PDF Checkpoint is an ideal program for users who need a fast, affordable and easy to use solution to check PDF files for errors and convert them to the desired format and color space.

The new version lets users preflight PDF documents created with LibreOffice as well as files that underwent GhostScript conversion. Processing of such files could previously result in crashes. LibreOffice PDFs can also be split into single pages and converted to images.
