Nulights Announces Five Things That Should Not Be Forgotten for Parties

Leave a comment

NuLights sharing some of the top party tips for 2016 with their release of a new DMX stage lighting product on Amazon.

Queenstown, New Zealand (February 4, 2016) — While many of us are still recovering from the New Year break, you might be thinking that your family get-togethers, parties and New Year’s celebrations were not all they were cracked up to be. Although being around family and friends should inspire celebration – maybe this year seemed dull. If so, don’t fret, as the team over at NuLights have some party tips for 2016, along with the release of their new LED Disco Ball.

1) Get on your guest’s calendar early and send out reminders – As much as we’d love to think we are flexible, the truth is that most people are busy and overwhelmed by their calendar. The best way to handle the busy friends and relatives is to schedule the party early and remind people often about the event.

2) Keep your powder dry – Although it’s important to invite people by telling them about how amazing your next party is going to be, you’ll want to refrain from bursting out with all the details all at once. To keep interest high, you’ll want to drip out information and keep a few extra surprises for much closer to the event.

3) Match the drinks with your food – This may seem straightforward (it is!), but it is still overlooked by most hosts. Do some research and learn the correct combination of wine and drinks for the food you plan to serve. Your guests will enjoy their meals more and at the very least you’ll be impressive with your new found knowledge.

4) Be the one to introduce – When you invite people that haven’t met before, be sure to be the one to help break the ice. This takes the responsibility off your guests and allows you to create a more social and welcoming environment.

5) Add excitement with lighting – You’ve got the right food, drinks and music. Now the one thing missing that will really spark up the excitement is some appropriate lighting. This will help set the mood, and if done correctly, will make your parties the envy of all your friends. If it’s a party setting, then take a look at the new 5 color, LED Disco Ball by NuLights available from Amazon, on sale for $28.97, down from $59.99 here (http://www.amazon.com/lighting-NuLights-outdoors-capabilities-activated/dp/B019KYVVSQ).

Atophill: What Chinese Face Reading Says About Donald Trump

Leave a comment

Atophill’s experts of the Chinese art of face reading, Erik Kanto and Ilona Kanto have produced two books and one DVD about the subject. At this time, again, they will read the faces of the candidates running in USA’s presidential election. Not writing about their political opinions or other much spoken facts about them, but merely reading what their faces tell us, according to the Chinese art of face reading that has been practiced for more than 5,000 years.

Los Angeles, CA, USA (February 3, 2016) — The ancient Chinese art of face reading has as much meaning for people today as it had in the past. In face reading, person’s abilities, personality traits and potentialities are shown in the features and face shape. Face shapes are associated with particular elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Gold and Wood.

Mr. Donald Trump has an oblong-shape face and it belongs to the Gold element. Each third of the face is equal length and about the same width. His ears are nicely shaped. The nose is straight and the chin prominent. Everything is very much in balance in his face.

Gold persons are image makers and they are fortunate and come into high positions. Fashion models and actors are often Gold personalities. Gold people are born into or rise to the ranks of the elite and enjoy the good things in life with little effort. They are leaders and are admired.

But before you envy a Gold personality too much, there is also a downside: Unfortunately, very often Gold people are not strong. Chinese face readers say the lack of strength may make a Gold personality seem arrogant. By doing that, he tries to hide his upsetting weakness.

It really helps the person with a lot of Gold element if he or she carries some of the sturdy Earth element. Gold alone may be too soft and needs security and stability the Earth element provides.

The nose in face reading represents wealth. Mr. Trump’s nose is straight and prominent. The Chinese say the person is also straight in any dealings. He is honest and enterprising. In most cases, a person like that says whatever he or she thinks of.

Large ears are an asset. They indicate a strong life potential and a long, fruitful life.

More next week…

Future Electronics Promotes ISL8018, ISL80510/05, and ISL8117 from Intersil

Leave a comment

Pointe Claire, Quebec (realtimepressrelease) February 2, 2016 – Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, recently announced immediate shipping availability of Intersil’s ISL8003x family of high efficiency DC/DC converters.

The new highly integrated synchronous buck regulators that step down 5V rails to POL inputs are as low as 0.6V for FPGAs, DSPs and microprocessors. The feature-rich ISL8018 delivers up to 8A of continuous output current from a 2.7V to 5.5V input supply, while offering up to 97% efficiency and higher integration than competitive devices. The 2 x 2mm ISL8003x family of devices delivers up to 3A of continuous output current from a 2.7V to 5.5V input supply and offers up to 95% peak efficiency for delivering general POL conversions in telecom, cloud computing, industrial, instrumentation and medical equipment.

The ISL80030, ISL80030A, ISL80031, and ISL80031A are pin-compatible and integrate very low RDS(ON) high side PMOS and low side NMOS MOSFETs, which reduces external component count and power losses. With lower die temperatures, these buck regulators allow the system to operate without cooling fans or heat sinks and still deliver a continuous 3A to the load, significantly increasing reliability. They also offer internal compensation, which eliminates additional external components to reduce design complexity. The complete converter occupies less than 64mm2 of board space. And the ISL80031 and ISL80031A offer a light load mode to improve efficiency over all load currents when the system switches to a low power state.

New Book Release – Unintended Consequences: When Adults took the fun out of Youth Sports, by Jerry Norton

Leave a comment

Unintended Consequences: When Adults took the fun out of Youth Sports, by Jerry Norton, helps make sense of today’s youth sports and how to set it back on a course toward fun.

Ponte Vedra, FL, USA — Jerry Norton’s Unintended Consequences: When Adults took the fun out of Youth Sports is a look at the deplorable situation in youth sports through the 84-year old eyes of photojournalist, youth coach, referee and league administrator Jerry Norton. Norton makes the case that youth sports have become more about winning than playing and more about adult egos than kids’ enjoyment and participation.

According to Coach Jerry, the evidence is clear and the verdict is in. Adults–whether malicious or well-meaning–are deemed guilty of hijacking youth sports’ most noble and worthy objective–fun. Win-at-all-cost coaches and demanding parents with unrealistic expectations are responsible for horrific acts of violence as well as untold incidents of child abuse that have become common-place in youth sports. The long-time youth sports activist offers constructive criticisms as well as solutions intended to make kids’ sports fun again for all participants.

Stephen G (Jerry) Norton is the father of three sons and a retired aerospace engineer who spent nearly 60 years as a volunteer coach, referee, and league administrator and president. He is now a sports photojournalist covering youth, high school and professional sports. He has coached youth baseball, football, swimming, tennis and girls’ softball and has conducted clinics for wheelchair bound and Special Olympic tennis players. He is the founder and president of Junior Development League Football.

Genre – Sports, Youth Sports, Children’s Sports, Kids’ Sports, Organized Youth Sports, Youth Sports Deterioration, Coaching, Sportsmanship, Youth Sports Problems, Soccer, Football, Baseball, Basketball

The ebook version of Unintended Consequences: When Adults took the fun out of Youth Sports ISBN 9781506901077, published by First Edition Design Publishing (http://www.firsteditiondesignpublishing.com), is available on-line wherever ebooks are sold.
