Leave a comment

Northern California song writer Doug Ranno in association with Franklin Street Studios and Redpath® Music, has released a new music album with a team of A list musicians called The Harvesting Crew™.

Ranno releases new version of Part of Me song replacing Vietnam with Afghanistan in the words.

Salinas, CA, October 29, 2014 – Long time BMI singer song writer, Doug Ranno with his band The Harvesting Crew™, in association with Franklin Street Studios, has released his first studio produced and mastered, music album, featuring an A list team of musicians he likes to call The Harvesting Crew™. Some of the musicians have played and recorded with the likes of The Doobie Brothers, The Steve Miller Band, Great American Taxi, Nora Jones, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, The Jefferson Airplane, Lacy J Dalton, just to name a few. Ranno has written or co-written 11 of the songs on the album he calls The Musical Harvester® and the music is receiving powerful reviews from California to Nashville. You can see a link below of the band recording a songs from the Musical Harvester™ Album in the studio and the Album is now available at most digital stores including ITUNES. You can also listen to the 13 songs from the album at the Drop Box link location below or by going to Doug Ranno Music on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/DougRannoMusic) and like the Doug Ranno and The Harvesting Crew™ Band Page to receive a free non downloadable ReverbNation stream of the songs.

Music Producer Jim Lewin said about the Musical Harvester Album, “Working on the Musical Harvester record has been a ton of fun. We had this amazing group of country musicians to create a backdrop for Doug’s rich baritone voice, and then he brought a great collection of songs which touch on various different styles within a modern country and blues context. Some Nashville country, some California country and some Delta Blues mixed in. Feedback on the album has been great.” Jim Lewin, Musician and Producer at Redpath Music.

In addition to being a very recognized agricultural business leader for years in California and Florida, a successful entrepreneur in the fresh produce industry, Ranno has also started Musical Harvest® (WWW.MUSICALHARVEST.COM) a unique custom made guitar business that makes uniquely designed guitars shaped like fruits and vegetables and who knows what else. Musical Harvest® guitars have raised thousands of dollars at charity events such as The Nashville Lifting Lives Foundation, The Florida Migrant Farmworkers Charity, Nashville Sound Kitchen’s We are Building Lives veterans charity, Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, Several children’s Food Allergy charities, School Music programs and numerous community support programs.

Until now, Ranno’s best known musical work was a song written in 1986 titled Part of Me. The song is about the thoughts that run through the mind of a recently returning Vietnam Veteran as he is preparing to get married. Part of Me was a popular 45 record in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s and was used to raise funds to build the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in the Capitol of California, Sacramento California’s Capitol Park. In addition, the song Part of Me was used as background music for the NBC Emmy nominated documentary titled Perceptions (ASIAN AMERICANS IN THE VIETNAM WAR).

Ranno and the Harvesting Crew decided to update the lyrics of the song replacing Vietnam with Afghanistan and it is amazing how the song still works. Ranno said, “It must be some type of message about war. The fact that almost 30 years later the lyrics to this song are still relevant and touch people affected by war.” You can view a video and interview with Ranno about the song recorded at Franklin Street Studios in Monterey California below.

One of the songs from the Musical Harvester album, The Strange Harvest Song, is featured on a TV show pilot Ranno is also involved in as the Co Host appropriately titled Strange Harvest™. The Strange Harvest™ show has evolved from an original concept that celebrates local farmers, their great tasting, rare and unique crops while having fun with food, music and crazy guitars along the way.

Fire Up Your Creativity With SPY (NYC Spark Your Creativity)

SPY offers not only a photography lesson but also a journey to unleash participants’ potential to be creatively adventurous, while building skills to increase success in the workplace, such as strategic problem solving for professional development.

New York, NY, October 26, 2014- Sapere vedere’ is an Italian expression, literally translating to “knowing how to see.” For the launch of Spark Your Creativity (SPY) for groups, founder Roberta Fineberg uses photography as a medium for boosting creativity in a customized group experience geared towards enhancing discovery, imagination, and sapere vedere to develop skills that benefit professional achievement and personal satisfaction. Fluent in French, proficient in Italian, combined with English, her native language, Roberta Fineberg concurs that “Spy attracts audiences from around the globe.”

With a dslr, point and shoot, or iPhone, participants are led on an inspirational photo hunt to discover unknown and known treasures of New York City, using the rule of thirds, negative and positive space, while exploring intuition and personal vision. Photo techniques assist participants in creating amazing results, while the focus on composition opens minds to fresh perspectives for capturing the essence of surrounding environments. The sessions not only teach ISO, shutter speed, aperture settings, shooting in manual, highlights and shadows, depth of field and other essential components – but also SPY finds the source of students’ creativity and helps them tap into new ways of thinking. SPY techniques provide creative yet feasible strategies that can be implemented immediately, say, in the boardroom, classroom, in the office, at workplaces or in organizations.

Before SPY, Roberta Fineberg created Images and Words, a class that emphasized learning language through images, discussion, and storytelling. “By integrating writing, art, photography and technology,” Ms. Fineberg explains, “the SPY methodology developed into a creative and analytical approach to problem solving.” With over 103 workshops and counting, reviews from SPY attendees have been overwhelmingly positive, citing the benefits of a workshop:

“I’ll never look at photography and taking pictures the same after my workshop with Roberta.” ~ Delphine, after a 2-hr private night photo workshop

“I received a camera for my birthday and a class at NYC Spark Your Creativity…and it was such a great experience that I keep going back. Every class teaches me something new and allows my creativity to flow a bit more. Roberta is a magnificent teacher – patient, kind, funny, and sincere! I would recommend for everyone – from beginners to seasoned individuals. You can fly solo, with friends or with your partner. This is a great opportunity to learn new things, take great pictures, explore New York and meet new & interesting people. I would highly recommend it!” ~ C.C.

Originally intended to host 99 workshops, SPY has reached its goal and continues to transform, due to the founder’s boundless energy, enthusiasm and over 20 years’ experience as a seasoned photographer.

Kill Ebola & Other Germs with Ozone & Ion Generators, Advises Environmental Hygienist

Leave a comment

Ebola and other virus and bacteria building decontamination is most effective and affordable when the decontamination protocol includes high output ozone and negative ion generators, according to Certified Environmental Hygienist Phillip Fry.

Montrose, Michigan, October 23, 2014 (Straight Line PR) – “The decontamination protocol for Ebola and other high-risk heath threats, including bioterrorism, should include both high output ozone gas and negative ion generators that are both highly effective, affordable, high-tech ways to decontaminate homes, other buildings, furniture, and furnishings infested with Ebola and other viruses, bacteria, germs, toxic mold spores,” reports Phillip Fry, Certified Environmental Hygienist and Professional Industrial Hygienist.

Ozone Kills Viruses, Bacteria, and Toxic Mold

Ozone gas is a regular, two oxygen atom molecule (0²) to which an extra oxygen atom has been temporarily added by the ozone generator to create a three oxygen atom molecule, (ozone gas) (0³).

This extra oxygen atom gives the molecule its ozone gas a very effective and powerful oxidizing power to kill Ebola virus infestations, Enterovirus, MRSA, MERS, H7N9 Avian Flu, SARS, Tuberculosis, influenzas, toxic mold spores, other biological health infestations, and bioterrorism threats such as weaponized anthrax, small pox, and certain deadly, fast-reproducing mold spores.

“The EnviroFry high output ozone generator is ideal to decontaminate medical treatment and patient rooms in hospitals and other care facilities, as well as residences, hotel rooms, workplaces, public buildings, airplanes, buses, and trains that contain, or have been exposed to, biological health threats,” recommends Mr. Fry, who is co-manager of the international EnviroFry environmental hygienists firm, and also a former hospital administrator and former staff member of the National Institutes of Health (U.S. Public Health Service).

For more information on how ozone kills Ebola, other viruses and bacteria, and toxic mold spores and growth, visit www.decontaminationgear.com and www.ozonegeneratorkillsmold.com.

Negative Ion Generators and HEPA Filters Purify Indoor Air

The EnviroFry Negative Ion Generator is a high quality, long-lasting, highly effective, reliable negative room ionizer that puts into room air 80 to 100 trillion ions per second to removes particles from the air as small as .01 microns, such as pollen, dust, mold spores, pet dander, and other allergens.

The EnviroFry ionizer has two built-in, positively-charged collection plates to take negatively-charged pollutants out of the indoor air in the room being treated with massive numbers of negative ions.

Almost all airborne contaminants (dust, allergens, mites, germs, and other contaminants) carry a positive electrical charge. Ionizers collect and remove these positively charged ions using the principle of opposites attract.

When a high enough concentration of negative ions is disbursed into room air, the positively charged floating particles will fuse with the negatively charged ions and fall harmlessly to the unit’s positively-charged collection plates and/or to the floor and other surfaces to be removed through HEPA vacuuming and other decontamination procedures.

In addition, by removing airborne contaminants that would otherwise be inhaled, ionizers significantly reduce occupant sneezing, coughing, and throat irritations that would help spread Ebola and other viruses and bacteria to other people.

As an additional air purification machine, EnviroFry also offers its six-stage air purifier that removes indoor health threats by the combination of HEPA filter, germicidal UV lamp, activated carbon filter, ionizer, programmable ozone sanitizer, and anti-bacterial pre-filter.

For more information on how negative ion generators and six-stage air purifiers remove Ebola and other viruses and bacteria, as well as toxic mold spores, visit www.decontaminationgear.com. Read the ten steps for safe and effective mold removal and mold remediation at www.moldinspector.com/mold_removal.htm.

For additional information about the health dangers of exposure to elevated levels of indoor toxic mold, visit www.moldinspector.com and www.moldexpertconsultants.com.

Building decontamination questions can also be emailed to Phillip Fry phil@moldinspector.com or phoned to Phillip toll-free 1-866-300-1616 or 1-810-639-0523 or cell phone 1-480-310-7970, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. eastern USA time zone, Monday through Saturday.

Scottsdale, AZ, October 22, 2014 — GLTYR, which stands for “Give Life To Your Reality,” is a mobile content-creation service for businesses and service providers with extremely limited marketing budgets. GLTYR allows the user to create a multimedia message or a spot commercial integrated with picture, text, audio and video that can be easily shared with a link though a text message, email or on social media platforms.

GLTYR is perfect for small business owners, individual service providers like doctors, plumbers, real estate agents, performing artists, schools, non-profits, sales professionals, literally anyone who wants to connect with their audience quickly and have their message heard loud and clear!

GLTYR is mobile only, meaning the content is created entirely on a mobile device, but your message can be shared across all devices and browsers. Once your message is created with GLTYR, it can be easily edited from your mobile device and when you click “Save”, the link to your GLTYR profile is immediately updated.

Think of GLTYR as the “Dropbox” for multimedia content sharing.

Before GLTYR, there was no platform that offered the opportunity to convey a quick and efficient multimedia message that builds trust with your audience instantly.

But how can we build trust quickly in a virtual world with limited attention spans, where we’re all connected only through technology via mobile devices and computers?

RSA Group in the Running for WfMC Award for Excellence Thanks to AuraPortal

Leave a comment

Co-sponsored by WfMC and BPM.com and now in their 20th year, the prestigious Global Awards for Excellence in BPM & Workflow recognize organizations that have demonstrably excelled in implementing innovative business process solutions.

Woburn, MA, October 22, 2014 – AURA (www.auraportal.com), a global provider of AuraPortal Business Process Management (BPM) software, has announced that, thanks to the successful implementation of its AuraPortal BPM suite, RSA Insurance Group (Chile) has been selected as a finalist in the WfMC Global Awards for Excellence in BPM and Workflow, putting them in the running for gold.

AuraPortal has been distinguished with great advantage over its competitors by Ovum in its Decision Matrix report and by other renowned analyst firms.

Finalists were selected by a panel of judges drawn from the sponsors and the winner will be announced at the awards ceremony which takes place during a gala dinner in Oak Brook (Illinois) on September 30.

The implementation of RSA’s main process, the Insurance Policy Quotes and Reserves Process, which is currently running at full capacity, required the use of high performance technologies such as DAD (Dynamically Activated Divisions), Distributed Treatments, Integrated Tasks, etc., providing the process with extraordinary capabilities that would not have been possible with other BPM Suites in the market, even with extensive additional programming.

RSA however built the process model on the AuraPortal suite, without having to use any additional programming code, determining right down to the smallest detail how the process should act when executed. And more importantly still, no programming is necessary when making modifications throughout the useful life of the process.

RSA is a leading multinational insurance group, present in over 130 countries and with close to 20 million customers. In Chile it is the no. 1 company for general insurance in the market.

Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) and BPM.com jointly sponsor the annual Global Awards for Excellence in BPM and Workflow. The awards program is managed by Future Strategies Inc.

MAX Agency Press Release – October 19, 2014

Leave a comment

Featured in this week’s press release is MAX Agency model talent Meaghan Ritola.

Toronto, ON, October 19, 2014 – Meaghan’s education is centered on Journalism and broadcast television and although she has done some acting she is in the midst of preparing to audition for Acting programs a various schools,

“Right now I’m in journalism at Guelph-Humber University. It’s helped me a lot because obviously I wanted to go into broadcast television. It has definitely made me more confident because we get to actually work with the cameras at our school and we get to use the broadcast room. My professors have helped me come out of my shell. Because of MAX it helped me figure out what I really want to do which is acting.”

Where would you like to study acting?

“I am hoping to get into the acting for film and television program at Humber. It’s a practical program so I’d be taking a whole completely new course. I am also applying to other acting programs.”

Meaghan’s enthusiasm for the industry and willingness to do every kind of acting project available to her including unpaid work to build up her reel led me to suggest Randolph Academy which specializes in the triple threat approach of singing, dancing and acting. What experience in the industry have you had so far?

“My internship has helped me. I interned with Bell Media at Space Channel and I got to see the production side of things and I got to help out on the show called Innerspace. I got to help out at the MMVA’s which was great! I was also able to help with CTV Upfronts where they have all the stars come in and pitch what their going to do for the next year. I love the show Vampire Diaries and the guy that played Elijah was there and the girl who plays Penelope from Criminal minds was there. So you really get a behind the scenes look”

Surprised Meaghan is only twenty-one years old and already graduating she went on to talk about her acting experience so far,

“I took acting classes out of high school and I took acting classes at my local community centre and we got to make audition tapes which was really cool. It was similar to the talent workshop we did with MAX Agency Toronto.”

With a lot of education and a bit of acting training Meaghan was approached by a MAX Agency Model and Talent Toronto Scout and decided to sign up. How have things been so far and what are your plans for the future?

“I’ve just auditioned with MAX so far. I’ve only auditioned. No parts. I’d love to join ACTRA. But for now I’m willing to do unpaid work for experience and basically ready to audition for anything and get some parts. I’m hoping to get some more experience. I have television broadcast experience but I really want to act.”

MAX Agency’s Bookers are currently looking for new Talent! If you are interested we highly recommend visiting www.maxagency.com and filling out an Application. Wishing MAX continued success in the industry we’re looking forward to the Fall and future press releases featuring individual talent and projects and finding out more about MAX!

Safe International Announces Fort Mcmurray Self Defense Training with World Renowned Self Defense Expert Richard Dimitri

Leave a comment

SAFE International, one of the world’s premier self-defense training companies recently announced it is launching courses in Fort McMurray, Alberta, in Canada.

Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada, October 19, 2014 – SAFE International, one of the world’s premier self-defense training companies recently announced it is launching courses in Fort McMurray, Alberta, in Canada. The courses will focus on women’s defense, high school self-defense, and security of businesses and corporate locations and will be taught by Richard Dimitri, who is a world-renowned self-defense expert.

Having Richard as an active member of the SAFE International™ team is beyond what Chris Roberts, Managing Director of SAFE International Self Defense could have envisioned. For those of you who are familiar already with Richard, you know exactly what I am talking about. And for those of you just new to this site, to SAFE International™ and to Richard Dimitri, read on to see why I am so thrilled to have him on board! Richard Dimitri essentially began his career at the age of 6. You see, that’s when he took his first martial arts class and from that day on, he has always been, in some form or fashion, involved in the realm of self defense.  From offering private and personal security, to being a bodyguard to some high profile clients around the world, and to eventually developing his very own system (Senshido), Richard Dimitri quickly became a high profile individual in his field. Senshido was Richard’s vision for reality-based self defense; teaching survival skills for real world violence by preparing you for the worst from drawing out the elemental and instinctive self defense tools innate to all of us. In Richard’s own words, here is what he shares; “No styles, no systems, no rituals, no lineages, no masters, no labels, no belts, no katas, no uniforms, no dogmas; only the process of sharing and learning through self-actualization & personal expression of truth via functional combative philosophy, psychology, movement and fitness. The list of Richard’s accomplishments is staggering, he has worked with the British Special Forces, the Presidential Security Team of Finland, SWAT, the Mexico City chapter of the Guardian Angels, the Association for Women’s Total Advancement & Development, and the Association for the Development and Enhancement of Women (Cairo). He is also a published author of numerous books and articles, and Black Belt magazine referred to him as one of the top 20 toughest fighters on planet earth! Wow. And those are just a few highlights from Richard’s distinguished career.
