Leading Professional Services Group To Recognize Extraordinary Cincinnatians

Cincinnati, OH  (PRBuzz.com) February 6, 2013 -- The Rotary Club of Cincinnati is again teaming up with the American Institute of Public Service (AIPS) as a local sponsor of the Jefferson Award to help find and honor individuals in our community that go above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to their volunteer efforts in the Greater Cincinnati area.

In partnership with Enquirer Media and Local 12, The Rotary Club of Cincinnati will be looking to recognize ordinary people who do extraordinary things without the expectation of recognition or reward. These are individuals that are changing and improving our community, while addressing an important issue facing our area.

The Jefferson Award, which is recognized as the Nobel Prize for public service, was created in 1972 by Cincinnati's own U.S. Senator Robert Taft and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and is presented annually to recipients in more than 90 cities in the United States. The AIPS's mission is to encourage and honor individuals for their achievements and contributions through public and community service.

On March 14, 2013, the Rotary Club of Cincinnati will host the annual Jefferson Award presentation luncheon during their weekly meeting and will announce this year's winner. The winner will then go to Washington, D.C. in June to represent our region for the National Award. The nomination form is available on the Rotary Club of Cincinnati's website at http://www.clubrunner.ca/Data/6670/2319/HTML/186144//JeffersonAwardforOutstandingPublicServiceNominationForm.pdf.

Deadline for nominations is 3:00 p.m. on Monday, February 25, 2013.

Rotary is an organization of business and professional persons united worldwide who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and help build goodwill and peace in the world. More information can be accessed at www.cincinnatirotary.org.

(PRBuzz.com) February 6, 2013 -- Like any industry, the right equipment is the most important component of making sure the job gets done. Without the proper machinery or instruments, a worker can really struggle to complete his or her work in the safest and most efficient way possible. Because lifting beams and devices are not the easiest supplies to understand or to buy, many workers look for alternative ways to get the job done. Often, this results in serious accidents or it takes longer to complete a simple task.

BelowTheHookWarehouse.com is the go to site for all of one's lifting needs. Despite being a small company, they have managed to become one of the most well known suppliers of lifting beams and devices. The team consists of professionals with expert knowledge about the lifting equipment. They also make sure to share extensive information about each and every one of their products with their clients. The company doesn't believe in making things harder or more complicated than they need to be. The company's customer support keeps things simple and breaks down everything that clients need to know when operating any of their products.

In an effort to help customers understand how to acquire and how to use lifting beams and devices, BelowTheHookWarehouse.com hosted a free online webinar. This webinar was a first of its kind and it looked at the topic from all perspectives and took into consideration unique scenarios. The two-hour event was informative and also provided workers with the ability to connect with one another. One attendee shared his thoughts about the webinar during the feedback session at the end. He said:

"I feel a sense of relief right now. I really thought I was the only one who had made some mistakes in purchasing lifting equipment. It's just tough to do online. I mean, you can't see the thing so it's hard to picture just how it's going to work together with your other equipment. But this webinar was so helpful. The presenters answered all of my questions and they gave me even more information on how to really get the job done. Thanks so much!"

(PRBuzz.com) February 6, 2013 -- Do you receive food stamps or snap benefits? Each and every state offers food stamps via a supplemental food assistance program commonly referred to as "SNAP".  In addition, many families receive benefits via the women infants and children program or "WIC".

These programs are designed to lend a helping hand to individuals who are struggling financially. Years ago, food stamps benefits were provided to recipients in the form of a booklet that contained paper "stamps", similar to a coupon. That's what led to the name food stamps.

Actual paper food stamps are no longer utilized. They disappeared decades ago and the federal program name was formally changed to SNAP in 2008.

Today, food stamps benefits are uploaded to an electronic benefits transfer card, also known as an E-B-T card. It works just like a debit card and can be used to purchase food items.

Nationwide more than 46.7 million American received food stamps benefits. So if you receive SNAP benefits, you're not alone! Still, this can be a point of embarrassment for many individuals, who don't want others to know that they're receiving public assistance.

Some individual feel shame, stigma and embarrassment and they fear others will pass judgment. Some people face the issue each and every time they open their wallet.

But FoodstampsCovers.com has a solution! Food stamps skins are colorful, fun, attractive skins that can be placed on your benefits card. This way you won't feel shame when you open your wallet. And you won't have to feel self-conscious when handing the card to a cashier or while swiping the card at the store payment station!

FoodstampsCovers.com has skins in a wide range of designs. So you can personalize your card! Designs include: sport designs, abstract art, car and autos, humorous skins, animals and pets, nature designs, patriotic designs, and tons more! There are more than 70 different food stamps skins to choose from!

Applying the skin is easy. Simply clean the card surface, peel the backing from the skin and apply it to your card. To form it to the raised numbers and letters simply apply heat from a hair dryer for 20-60 seconds.

And you're done! Your privacy is protected! It's really that simple. Don't allow feelings of shame or embarrassment arise each time you use your food stamps card. With food stamps skins, you'll avoid those feelings of embarrassment. Since you'll have a unique, customized card, not an obvious SNAP benefits card! So protect your privacy!

(PRBuzz.com) February 7, 2013 -- Seasonal Influenza is a respiratory infection caused by influenza virus that results in mild to severe symptoms, such as fever, cold and cough. Vaccination has been shown to reduce influenza morbidity and mortality and high economic burden associated with influenza illness. GlobalData's epidemiologists expect seasonal influenza vaccination coverage rates for all countries but the UK and China to remain constant on average throughout the forecast period. Vaccine demand for all nine countries, on the other hand, is forecast to increase in the next decade. Overall, the US is projected to have the largest vaccine demand in the next decade at over 158 million, followed by Japan's 37.4 million, whereas Spain is expected to have the lowest demand at just over eight million. Annual growth in vaccine demand for the next 10 years is highest in India (2.10%) and the UK (1.38%) and lowest in Japan (0.42%) and Germany (0.26%). By 2022, the US will have the highest vaccination coverage rate (46.1%) and India and China the lowest (both at 1.7%). Vaccine demand is expected to increase across all nine markets, even in countries where vaccination coverage rates remain stable. This increase is mostly due to population growth, especially growth in the elderly age group.

Buffalo, NY  (PRBuzz.com) February 7, 2013 -- Energy management firm BidURenergy this week announced improvements to its advanced PriceWatch™ system, ensuring clients save on energy costs.

The experienced energy management firm, BidURenergy, Inc. (BUE), announced this week that it has successfully developed a newer version of its exclusive analytical system, known as PriceWatch™. The focus on improving the system comes from numerous retail energy market changes, giving clients even greater potential to procure lower costing energy.

BUE's exclusive PriceWatch™ system is a resource pricing analysts have used since 2008. The firm employs professional market analysts (AEE Certified Energy Procurement Professionals) who compare and dissect rates from available suppliers.

The proprietary system alerts BUE's market analysts when there is a trough in electricity pricing to inform clients of the opportune time to enter the market. Clients of the firm are confident in the rates they are getting because BUE can rework the contract if it finds a new rate that is substantially lower. The firm has the leverage to extend the contact term and use a blended average rate to ensure clients take advantage of current market opportunities.

(PRBuzz.com) February 7, 2013 -- For organizations as large as Exxon, Apple and Amazon to local firms with one or two employees, Disaster Recovery Planning (DRP) can no longer be an afterthought of companies. It is estimated that a company will have a major impact of data loss once every eighteen months, and this can be a combination of hardware failure, human error, hacking/security issues. Complete Cloud Hosting Solutions located in Grayson,GA specializes in analyzing networks, establishing disaster recovery plans, and implementing onsite and offsite data storage plans.

Owner David Williams says that, "Complete Cloud Hosting Solutions is here to protect your company. With the competitive nature of business, it is imperative that owners and operators of companies understand their system vulnerabilities. Understanding the impact a major system outage can have on your organization is crucial to staying successful, and that is where our expertise will provide your company with a competitive advantage."

When asked about why to invest in a managed disaster recovery program, David responded with, "it is similar to insurance. A well-documented and audited disaster recovery program provides piece of mind for the operators and owners of companies. And, when a catastrophe occurs, your company will have faith that your system will be fully restored by your trusted business partner."

David elaborated on "when a catastrophe occurs," by saying, "I understand that owners and operators believe their hardware systems will never malfunction, an employee will not accidently delete a fixed assets module from your financial system, or that an employee will accidently delete the entire human resource system, but in the past six months all of those issues occurred in companies that we serve. And, in all instances, we were able to restore the data back to the proper condition within hours, and we were able to figure out why the incident happened, and recommend adjustments to the company's policy and procedures."

When asked about what sets Complete Cloud Hosting Solutions apart from the large companies that offer these solutions, David responded with, "There are multiple online companies that specialize in disaster recovery hosting and managed systems, including IBM, VMWare, RackSpace, Mozy, Dell and Sunguard.

Our support representatives know your firm, they understand your data, and they will work with your company until you are satisfied with your system restoration; whereas, working with the large firms-they will provide you with a backup CD in 2 or 3 days, for you to bring in an outside support company to restore the data."

Because we value you as a business partner, our customer service representatives focus exclusively on providing you top-notch support.

(PRBuzz.com) February 7, 2013 -- South East Queensland venue and function center operators face substantial fines and some are jailed for copyright infringement by their clients. This happened due to failure of following the rules and regulation imposed by PPCA and APRA pertaining to illegal downloading of music without relevant reproduction licenses.

Running a venue is not an easy task. It requires dedication and hard work, and it's even more difficult as operators need to follow the rules and regulation imposed by the Government. South East Queensland's venue operators and owners and function managers need to make sure the music they use is not pirated and that they have appropriate public performance licenses from APRA and PPCA or relevant copyright owner in place. This may include clients using downloaded music and streaming apps on phones and tablets or using DJ's who don't have relevant licenses for music they play.

Brisbane's Party Juke Hire Owner Paul Derry said that "Many venue operators just don't realize that most music sources like phone apps including streaming apps are for personal use only and cannot be used for events at venues and function centers. They are also surprised to discover that even for music purchased for commercial application, appropriate public performance licenses for playing music at a public venue is still required - including hired Jukeboxes and Karaoke Machines"

Mr. Derry said "It is absolutely vital that venue and function centre managers, operators and owners are aware of their responsibilities relating to music played on their premises. Work only with Jukebox hires companies, DJs and Karaoke Hosts who have public performance licensing and whose equipment holds legitimate music intended for commercial use

(PRBuzz.com) February 7, 2013 -- Mr. Karol Kazmierczak (Kaz) of Facade Doctor, LLC is the very first in the world to use UAV for facade inspections. With the help of this UAV, façade inspections are now easier, faster and safer.

Inspecting building facades is a risky business. A facade inspector hangs hundreds of feet above ground on a rope thinner than a finger. This is the reason why Kaz modified a remotely controlled quadrocopter in order to adapt it to the challenges of the building enclosure trade by extending its range, battery, and adjusting the front camera, so the drone can reach the remote areas of building elevations, with the live video feed to the operator, and can take pictures of any observed defects and failures.

Kaz, who is a licensed Florida and New York State architect, working as a building enclosure consultant, wrote: "I have not heard of anyone else using unmanned aerial vehicles for forensic investigations of building enclosures, so i had to start from the scratch, by extending its range of flight, and adapting its sights."

This effort, which started in mid-2012, resulted in the development of the workable solution.

Kaz said: "This is essentially a very cool toy which I converted in a functional tool. Passers-by are invariably attracted to it, so there is always a several spectators gathering around me when I operate the drone."

Through the use of this UAV, engineers and architects can significantly reduce the risk, time and cost involved in façade inspections. A knowledgeable and experienced inspector operating the unmanned aerial vehicle can narrow the scope of a facade inspection by identifying those areas which will absolutely require human inspection, and consequently significantly reduce time, risk, and cost of facade inspection. All we risk is several hundred dollars of equipment as opposed to human life.

If you see a UFO hovering in front of your window, don't worry. It may be a drone inspecting the facade of your building. And the operator watching through its cameras may be a handsome architect as opposed to a peeping pervert.

(PRBuzz.com) February 7, 2013 -- The online media hosting provider Lightcast.com will be part of this year's NRB conference in Nashville, Tennessee. The company has made sponsorship packages available for all visitors of NRB 2013. Any organization or church is welcome to apply during the conference. The sponsorship includes the development of a custom Roku Channel App and an AppleTV/iTunes Video Podcast at a value of $5,000. Lightcast seeks to support Christian ministries to utilize cutting edge media distribution technologies in order to reach more listeners and viewers with the Christian message.

"Making your worship experience available through live-streams and video-on-demand (VOD) distribution is like offering a "free trial" of your product. It enables potential church visitors to "view your product" in the "safe environment" of their homes, being introduced to your church and ministered to by your message, music and creative arts", says Andreas Kisslinger, founder of Lightcast.com and CROSS.TV. "It may sound too technical and corporate to some, but the reality is that we are all selling something and that includes churches, whether we admit it or not. People have options: a variety of different styles of worship, bible interpretations and dogmatics, and the option to not go to church at all, but to stay at home, sleep in and enjoy a long breakfast. Whether we like it or not: we have to face reality and if we want to reach those who have gotten tired of going to church buildings, then we have to bring the church to them and become audible, visible and accessible, which automatically means to utilize online media distribution in our days."

With the sponsorship grants Lightcast seeks to stir up interest within the church communities and to provide for an easy start with new media distribution opportunities. "It is quite interesting how much we spend on developing and perfecting our "product" but how little we invest into marketing and distributing it to new prospects", so Kisslinger. "If the worship experience is our primary "product", then utilizing online media distribution services are the distribution channels by which we take the product to new prospects and allow them to try it out free of charge, before making a commitment to visit, attend, commit and submit. We enjoy taking what's expensive and making it affordable and taking what is complicated and making it simple."

Introduced at the Catalyst 2012 conference in Duluth, Georgia, the initiative became increasingly popular among church leaderships and media staff. "It really became a game changer for us when Lightcast built and launched our custom Roku Channel. Our viewership instantly doubled over night and is growing continuously ever since", says Pastor Barry Burns with Cornerstone and ReigningInLife.TV, Johnson City, TN. "It has helped our congregation to consider our media ministry as a much-needed outreach to the nations and the unchurched, rather than an improvement of our own worship experience."

With Lightcast's 2013 proceeds going into a designated missions fund, more projects of this kind are to be expected in the future. The Lightcast missions fund is managed by company principals and welcomes funding ideas from clients. The primary goal of the fund is to support media missions projects in direct connection with world evangelism and primarily focuses on new media technologies. A second grant to sponsor 100 Christian organizations and churches with a custom Roku Channel and other SmartTV broadcast tools is expected to be released mid February independent from the NRB convention.

Canton, OH   (PRBuzz.com) February 7, 2013 --  Security Consultant John M. White CPP, CHPA of Protection Management, LLC, recommends that medical businesses insure that their handling of confidential material has the proper safeguards in place at all times.

According to security expert John M. White, CPP, CHPA, "When it comes to having a proper way to handle confidential materials, most business have no system at all."  While conducting security assessments at several medical campuses, White says he has found confidential papers such as medical records, business finance information, employee information, and many other sources of confidential materials lying out in view of everyone, or in the dumpster.  According to White, businesses need to protect their records at all times and insure that if they are discarded it is done in a secure manner.

With the regulations related to medical records, White stated that hospitals and medical offices do a much better job overall.  However, vulnerabilities almost always exist.  In one hospital White found that when printed medical records were being discarded, the organization had locked "Confidential" bins in which the materials were supposed to be placed in.  However, it was found that since staff did not have a key to the bin, which was set up that way to keep the material secure and confidential, medical staff would often stack the material on top of the bins so they could have access to them if needed.  "Eventually they would place the items into the bin, but in some cases that might take 24 hours, maybe more," said White.  "There is also the risk of the wrong people receiving the medical records intended for someone else.  I have personally seen inner-office mail delivered to the wrong person who opened the envelope, addressed to them, only to find confidential medical records enclosed, and the person that received the files had no qualified need to receive such," said White.

White also warns that when sending confidential information via fax or email, the sender must check and double check the fax number or email address it is being sent to.  "I have received confidential information via fax several times because someone had the fax number wrong," White said.

Protection Management, LLC is an independent security consulting firm specializing in Security Management, Healthcare Security, Special Event Security Planning, Security Risk Assessments and Litigation Avoidance and/or Support. Protection Management specializes in assisting clients in identifying their security risks and vulnerabilities and providing them with the information to correct deficiencies and reduce their risk.
