Mom’s Mission is to Develop Kind and Confident Children

Leave a comment

The Halo Publishing author is scheduling presentations at schools, libraries and bookstores to help children understand the importance of having values such as courtesy, empathy and respect.

Valley View, OH, October 27, 2010 — Mom Nicki Donley is on a mission to help children feel confident in social situations. Inspired by conversations with her seven year old triplets, Ava, Lily and Grace; Donley wrote Cool Conduct, 100 Ways To Make A Positive Impression. The Halo Publishing author is scheduling presentations at schools, libraries and bookstores to help children understand the importance of having values such as courtesy, empathy and respect.

“I believe unbecoming conduct can hold a child back both personally and academically from reaching their potential.”

“My philosophy is that a child’s conduct should make them and those around them feel good and confident, not upset or embarrassed.”

Cool Conduct is a fun and educational question and answer book that identifies manners, etiquette and safety. The book is designed to encourage discussions of appropriate behaviors that develop respectful children. Donley said recent reports of increased bullying, particularly cyber bullying, make the book quite timely.

Topics include social, outdoor, electronic and school etiquette, respecting belongings, safety, verbal and non-verbal communication, table manners, healthy habits, public places, and acts of kindness. Donley also created a “Cool Conduct Pledge,” in which children promise to be kind and respectful to themselves and others.

“Children are reminded there is no reason to treat others with disrespect and to be comfortable with who they are and what they want to become,” Donley said.

Donley grew up in Parma, Ohio, where she attended St. Charles Catholic elementary school and Holy Name High School. After graduating in 1990, Donley attended Kent State University and earned a bachelor’s degree in Rhetoric and Communications. She has been married to Chad Donley for 13 years. The family resides in Twinsburg, Ohio.

Donley is working on another book to help children accept and love themselves, just as they are. In addition to writing books, Donley is the owner of “Move Over Cards,” a stationery company that offers environmentally friendly gift enclosures. An avid recycler, Move Over Cards designs products from recycled paper and uses no wasteful envelopes.

Their philosophy is “Be Good to the Earth”

Motorcycle Tires and Accessories and Ride-On TPS Join Forces for Powersports Distribution

Leave a comment

MTA and Inovex Industries Join Forces for Distribution of Ride-On Tire Protection System Line of Tire Balancing-Sealants to Motorcycle Dealerships.

Choudrant, LA and Sterling, VA, USA, October 26, 2010 — Motorcycle Tires and Accessories, Inc. (MTA); one of the nation’s largest motorcycle tires, parts and accessories distributors, and Inovex Industries, Inc.; the manufacturer of Ride-On Tire Protection System (TPS), the only proven high-speed tire balancer and sealant, announce their intentions to distribute Ride-On TPS across North America through retail motorcycle dealerships. “We consider the motorcycle and powersports market segment as potentially our most important.” Says Mark Farkhan, CEO of Inovex, “the only thing between a rider and the road is his tires, and a flat can mean the difference between life and death – literally. Our product gives those tires the best chance to perform at their optimum capacity through balancing, air pressure maintenance, and flat prevention that keeps a rider where he belongs – upright and on the road. It also offers a chance for dealerships to establish a new revenue stream in a market where many are seeing a decline in sales.”

Says Larry Popp, President of MTA, “As the traditional balancing compound of lead weights increasingly came under fire for its negative environmental impact (it has been banned in CA), MTA wanted an alternative. Ride-On exceeded our expectations with its ability to balance tires as well as assisting in flat prevention and helping stabilize tire pressure in a similar manner to nitrogen-just without the mess you would expect from a tire sealant. We are looking forward to making sure this one-of-a-kind product gets to market so that every rider out there can enjoy a safer, environmentally friendly, more balanced ride. Plus, it is more aesthetically pleasing than the wheel weights being applied on today’s customized bikes.” Says Farkhan, “we couldn’t be happier with our partnership with MTA. Their focused catalog, strong relationships nationwide, and hands on sales approach were exactly what we were looking for in a partner to help us penetrate the powersports market.”

About Inovex Industries, Inc. – Ride-On Tire Protection System:
Founded in 1995, Inovex is the leading manufacturer of the Ride-On Tire Protection System line of tire sealants. With 8 environmentally friendly and biodegradable formulations, Ride-On is specifically designed to meet the needs of the various market segments including: Automotive, Motorcycle, ATV, High Speed Commercial, Heavy Duty Construction, Industrial, and Agricultural.

LANXESS uses Brainloop Secure Dataroom to Publish Registration Data

Leave a comment

LANXESS has selected the Brainloop Secure Dataroom to enable it to provide this information in a protected environment.

Boston, MA, October 25, 2010 — One of the requirements of the European Union’s REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) legislation, which came into effect on July 1, 2007, is that all companies involved in registering a chemical have the obligation to share data about it. After evaluating the systems available on the market, LANXESS has selected the Brainloop Secure Dataroom to enable it to provide this information in a protected environment. With its encryption technology, two-factor login with a password and a PIN texted to the user’s cell phone, and the end-to-end document security right through to the desktop, the web-based data room fulfills the company’s key requirements for security, protection of its expertise, and convenient communication in the best possible way.

LANXESS owns highly valuable information relevant to the registration of substances in compliance with REACH. According to predefined REACH guidelines, this information should be available to all registrants with a view to sharing costs.

“The way companies share information in the context of REACH processes is very variable,” comments Dr. Bernd Woost, Information Technology, LANXESS Germany. “Some companies use commercial portals where this sensitive data can be stored and viewed. Others rely on email, but we find this unsuitable as the documents are sometimes very large. That’s why we looked for a secure yet convenient platform to publish and share our valuable study results. The REACH agreement processes are very time-consuming anyway, so we wanted this platform to make them significantly more efficient.”

The web-based Brainloop Secure Dataroom, ( http://www.brainloop.com ) in combination with Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management, meets the company’s requirement for a way to provide all study results securely. The solution ensures that the viewing and editing permissions, which LANXESS defines in the data room or on a central server, remain active even after a registration dossier has been downloaded onto a user’s desktop. These permissions include special usage limitations to prevent the document from being changed, printed, or forwarded to other people. To give an example, the user receives his or her own personal copy of a document that is encrypted when saved and cannot be opened by other users. Also, it is automatically blocked after the predefined expiry date and is no longer visible on the desktop.

“The registration documents contain very valuable data that must be rigorously protected and prevented from distribution by simple copy and paste after it’s been downloaded from the data room,” explains Dr. Woost. “Time is another important factor, as all registrations are subject to certain deadlines. The Brainloop ( http://www.brainloop.com ) solution enables us to guarantee end-to-end security through to the user’s desktop while making it quick and convenient for interested parties to find the information they need in the familiar PDF format.”

The security features of the combined Brainloop Secure Dataroom and Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management solution ( http://www.brainloop.com ) have also proved very advantageous for compliance processes. LANXESS is able to apply centrally-defined security guidelines to documents throughout their lifecycle and their usage history is recorded and traceable. In this way, the company automatically achieves key risk management and compliance goals.

About Brainloop:
Brainloop, with offices in Boston and Munich, is the leading supplier of software solutions for high-security document collaboration. Brainloop’s secure online workspace is a virtual document safe that enables secure filing, editing and distribution of highly confidential documents within a single company, and beyond.

LAN Systems Selected for Second Year as Best of Gwinnett in Best IT Service Category

Leave a comment

Two years in a row, the readers and editors of Gwinnett Magazine have identified LAN Systems, a leading Atlanta Managed Services company, as Best of Gwinnett in the Best IT Service category.

Norcross, GA, October 19, 2010 — Two years in a row, the readers and editors of Gwinnett Magazine have identified LAN Systems, a leading Atlanta Managed Services company, as Best of Gwinnett in the Best IT Service category.

Announcing Release 6 of 6SigmaDC: Future Facilities Simulation Software Maximises Data Centre Space, Power and Cooling Utilisation

Leave a comment

6Sigma DC Release 6 enables better capacity planning and management of data centre space, power and cooling resources, through simulation, predictive modelling and real time view of the critical environment.

London, UK, October 19, 2010 — Future Facilities breaks new ground with the introduction of Release 6 of its 6SigmaDC data centre design and operations software suite. Hassan Moezzi, CEO, Future Facilities said, “Release 6 enables better management of data centre design, cabinet layout and equipment updates, so that physical constraints and efficiency can be maximised and the lifecycle of critical facilities extended. 6SigmaDC ensures that IT equipment can be deployed with full confidence that power, cooling, rack space and connectivity requirements can all be met.”

Release 6 of 6SigmaDC greatly simplifies the task of modelling complex facilities, as well as providing a broader toolset for on-going data centre management. In addition, software tools for IT equipment design (6SigmaET) have been further developed so that the detailed models produced by the application can also be used at room scale to simulate and manage airflow in racks and rows.

The 6SigmaDC software suite comprises a range of applications including 6SigmaRack, ( http://www.futurefacilities.com/software/6SigmaRack.htm ) 6SigmaRoom ( http://www.futurefacilities.com/software/6SigmaRoom.htm ) and 6SigmaFM ( http://www.futurefacilities.com/software/6SigmaFM.htm ). The software is used to develop a detailed 3-dimensional Virtual Facility©, within which power usage, equipment configurations, thermal behaviours and other important design variables can be accurately modelled and evaluated before physical implementation.

Release 6 Enables Better Capacity Realisation, Risk Free:
Important new features of 6SigmaDC Release 6 include 6SigmaExchange, which adds the capability to integrate any Data Centre Integrated Management (DCIM) application, monitoring software, and/ or building management system (BMS) tool with the Virtual Facility. This effectively provides a ‘live’ model and, for the first time, engineering/ facilities can work side-by-side with IT operations to manage the data centre as a single, integrated system.

The 6SigmaITM and 6SigmaFM tools also make it easy to investigate install requests that may have previously exceeded the blanket design limits of the facility. With comprehensive analysis tools and extension of the cooling capacity tests to include zonal limits, it is now possible to allow for more flexible installation. Adjusting cooling limits and load capacity on a case-by-case basis can allow better utilisation of physical capacities without compromising IT equipment or operational integrity.

Pro-active airflow and cooling management is made easier and more practical, allowing data centre managers to control cooling system efficiency, ensure IT availability, reduce annual operating costs and realise the full design capacity of the facility.

The 6SigmaITM interface has been remodelled and extended to make it easy for IT professionals to view the facility and propose changes to the IT configuration. These changes can now be based on quantitative data about the facility including space, power, cooling, network and weight considerations – all of which are available to view at the click of a button.

More Detailed IT Equipment Design with 6SigmaET:
The second major release of 6SigmaET ( http://www.futurefacilities.com/software/6SigmaET.htm ) adds more functionality to the state of the art CFD simulation tool for designing and packaging electronic components and systems. A key feature enables the detailed models constructed with 6SigmaET to be imported directly into 6SigmaRack for cabinet configuration and updates. This creates a more realistic and therefore accurate model for room scale simulations, enabling better placement and utilisation of rack capacity and cooling provision.

The new release also allows for more complex thermal modelling including liquid cooling components such as pumps, ducts and pipe work. More detailed modelling is enabled through the addition of 2R and Detailed model options. In addition, users can opt to model using a simple average PCB or more complex, multi layer substrates which can be refined and upgraded as the design progresses.

Modelling Enhancements Bring the Virtual Facility Even Closer to Real Life:
Specific improvements have also been made to address ease of use, making the modelling process more straightforward. 6SigmaRoom now supports far more detailed internal ACU modelling, bringing far more realistic airflow characteristics to the Virtual Facility models. Ducts with Circular or rectangular cross-sections are now simple to include, even when flow is required inside them. These ducts have the full capability of the originals, allowing vents, transition pieces and branches to be added as required.

The inclusion of new objects, such as internal walls, lights on walls, rotated raised floors and roof panels, allows the user to create a Virtual Facility model that is more representative of real life than ever before.

6SigmaDC’s huge library of detailed vendor specific equipment and cabinet models has been further enhanced by the introduction of equipment catalogues. Cabinets can now be made up from a catalogue of readymade parts, bringing consistency and variety to the user in a far simpler package.

The 6SigmaNetwork model now allows the 6SigmaFM model to include the full connectivity of the IP network, and a new auto-routing feature decides the best route for new cables.
