Building an Ecommerce Channel: Gorilla Launches OMG The Jeans Store on Magento Enterprise

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) August 11, 2011

Gorilla, an award winning ecommerce solutions provider and 2010 Magento Partner of the Year, has successfully launched omgjeans.com, the first online store for fast-growing New York fashion retailer, OMG The Jeans Store. In creating OMGs initial ecommerce channel, Gorilla developed a site built around the brand, its products, and the need for OMG to intimately engage their strong Facebook following.

Choosing Gorilla as our partner for this project was a smart decision said Boaz Lev Ari, General Manager at OMG. They really know what theyre doing with Magento, and because they perform all design and development in-house, it really gave us the level of control and accountability we were looking for.

Gorilla implemented a design concept centered on the distinctly New York feel of the brands retail outlets. The site targets savvy, brand-conscious consumers, using “negative space” to provide a clear focus on the products and promotions, which set the retailer apart.

To give OMG maximum ecommerce flexibility, Gorilla built the site on the Magento Enterprise platform. To faithfully recreate OMGs unique in-store shopping experience that is so crucial to their success, Gorilla extended Magentos core functionality with over 20 customizations and extensions. The site offers enhanced usability, with navigation and filtering features to simplify product discovery and numerous ways to personalize the shopping experience. The site offers enhanced sustainability with tailored content and customer management tools and full back-end integration with systems including WordPress, QuickBooks, Authorize.net, and RetailPro.

Deepening the connection between OMG and their more than 300,000 Facebook fans was a key element of the project. To achieve this, Gorilla implemented multiple components of Facebook Connect functionality. This allows users to login to Facebook from within the OMG site and interact with friends in numerous ways. In addition to enabling users to like products and share wishlists, they can also view their friends wall feeds, tagged products and even be notified of their upcoming birthdays. All of which combine to increase customers time spent on the site and closely tie together the shopping and social experience.

With the launch of OMG, Gorilla once again demonstrates that design, development and integration are in our genes.

About Gorilla: Since 1994, leading brands, retailers, manufacturers and wholesalers have turned to Gorilla to solve the toughest ecommerce challenges and innovate solutions that elevate businesses across channels. Inspiring design, impeccable development and unmatched experience are why Gorilla delivers a smarter species of ecommerce. http://www.gorillachicago.com

About OMG: OMG The Jeans Store is a family owned and operated retailer, with 10 locations across New York City in addition to a newly launched online store. Through a commitment to delivering personalized service and value, OMG offers a distinctly New York shopping experience that makes buying denim and apparel simple and easy. http://www.omgjeans.com

Since its creation in 1988, CHANCE has covered such topics as expert witnesses and the courts, teacher evaluations and student grades, the statistical history of the AIDS epidemic, election night predictions, racial profiling, counter-terrorism, and the hot hand in ice hockey.

Executive Editor Sam Behseta intends to continue serving the CHANCE audience by publishing highly engaging statistical articles with minimal use of equations and technical jargon. The magazine, said Behseta, soon will offer book reviews and exciting columns about ethics in statistics, statistical data privacy, and statistics education and pedagogy.

On behalf of Taylor and Francis, Kevin Bradley, president, U.S. Journals, commented that We are proud to add CHANCE to the T&F family of publications, and I look forward to seeing the magazines expansion. We are pleased to be partnering with the ASA to bring CHANCE and the ASA journals to a broader and more international audience. The http://www.tandfonline.com platform will serve the ASA and the scientific community well and we are grateful that the ASA has placed their confidence in us.

CHANCE also sponsors The Statistics Forum, a blog that provides everyone the opportunity to participate in discussions about probability and statistics and their role in important and interesting topics. Interested parties can read the blog at http://statisticsforum.wordpress.com.

Likno Web/HTML Tabs Builder 2.0.204 Released: WYSIWYG Desktop Application for Creating Stylish HTML Tab Controls in Websites

Maroussi, Athens (PRWEB) August 24, 2011

Likno Software has released the latest version of its product, Likno Web/HTML Tabs Builder – version 2.0 build 204. The software is a desktop application that works as a user-friendly interface (GUI) to the popular jQuery open source library for creating stylish, feature-rich html tabs for web pages, with minimal effort and coding.

All the jQuery tabs that the software produces are fully cross-browser (work seamlessly in Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Opera, Mozilla, Konqueror, Safari & others).

Major Features:

Rich and powerful Interface.
Universal: For any authoring tool (Dreamweaver, Expression Web, etc.) or CMS platform (Joomla, Drupal, WordPress, etc.).
Creates cross-browser jQuery tabs that display content when visitors click on (or even mouse over!) page elements (tabs) of the developers choice.
Shows text, HTML, images, videos (YouTube, etc.), animations, Flash, or whole pages (AJAX, URL) as content in the tabs.
Ready-made examples can be quickly applied to projects (pre-installed in software).
Any type of jQuery tab control can be created, such as: html tab, javascript tab, css tab, ajax tab, web tab, vertical tab, horizontal tab, dhtml tab, jquery ajax tab, etc.
The style of the tabs can be fully customized through CSS (“css tabs”).
The web tab controls can be easily positioned in pages through various methods: Inserted into (or replacing) a page element (div, span, td, etc.) OR simply replacing a page image.
2 methods can be used to place the tab headers relative to the tab body: Within Container (standard, all headers “glued” to the tab body) OR Outside Container (*advanced*, headers “not glued” but DIVs *anywhere* on page).
3 methods can be used to populate an HTML tab control with content: by the project itself, a UL/LI structure or DIV elements located on page.
Dynamic content can be added to the tabs through AJAX techniques (“ajax tabs”).
Multiple HTML tab controls can be used on the same page (with same or different styling).
A variety of Show/Hide tab effects is available.
A tab control can also behave as a SlideShow (tabs opening sequentially either automatically after some seconds or manually through clicking on special first/previous/next/last/play/pause buttons).
Both vertical tabs and horizontal tabs can be created, with their headers on any side (Top-Left, Top-Right, Bottom-Left, Bottom-Right, etc.).

With Likno Web/HTML Tabs Builder web professionals save a significant amount of time and effort required to fully understand JavaScript and jQuery code for creating feature-rich HTML tab controls.

Features: http://www.likno.com/jquery-tabs/index.php

Hostek.com Launches New Linux ColdFusion Hosting Service

Tulsa, Oklahoma (PRWEB) September 12, 2011

Hostek.com, a specialist in Adobe ColdFusion 9 web hosting and Microsoft ASP.NET web hosting, announced today a competitive new choice of Linux ColdFusion website hosting options. By offering customers and resellers this useful alternative to its popular Windows hosting services, Hostek.com is making it easier than ever to develop rich and exciting new web applications.

We have been offering Windows ColdFusion hosting services for almost ten years, and have been an Adobe Solution Partner since 2009, says Jon Cavanaugh, Director of Business Development at Hostek.com. Customers have joined and remained with Hostek.com because we truly understand ColdFusion website hosting and work to develop services for ColdFusion. As a result of our ongoing success in this area, we are proud to give our customers and hosting resellers the chance to customize their ColdFusion 9 hosting service with a choice of operating systems.

ColdFusion Markup Language, or CFML, is a scripting language that uses simple, easily understandable syntax to handle data from a database, and ultimately to display this data to visitors in new and interesting ways. By using ColdFusion Markup Language on a ColdFusion server, developers can create and deploy dynamic, content-rich, and highly interactive web applications. Without the use of a scripting language with the power and versatility of CFML, developers can find their web presences overly static, lacking the true interactivity that defines the online experience. Hostek.com launched their range of Windows ColdFusion hosting services in 2002 and has since helped businesses and individuals worldwide to transform their online activity.

ColdFusion hosting is a powerful, versatile way to develop web applications, whatever operating system it is offered on, says Cavanaugh. Our customers have proven just how vital a dependable, reliable ColdFusion server is in modern web development, and we have seen continued growth in this area of business in recent years. Our decision to launch Linux ColdFusion 9 services comes as a result of ongoing demand for the flexibility of ColdFusion on a Linux server with Linux-specific hosting features and cPanel included as standard.

The ability of ColdFusion to deliver creative new web applications is consistent regardless of operating system, but it is outside of ColdFusion that the choice of Linux or Windows comes into play. While ColdFusion Windows hosting allows the use of alternative scripting languages such as Microsoft ASP.NET or classic ASP, developers who do not use these facilities may be better suited to a Linux plan. One specific example is the option to use cPanel, one of the most popular website control panels available, which is offered as standard on all Hostek.com Linux ColdFusion 9 hosting plans. This incredibly feature-rich control panel offers unrivalled control to users of Linux web hosting solutions. In addition, some ColdFusion developers may wish to use other common applications such as WordPress or osCommerce and, as a matter of preference, choose to do this on Linux.

At the end of the day, this is a matter of taste, says Cavanaugh. Some people just prefer to work with Linux rather than Windows. Now, we are adding yet another customization option for every Hostek.com customer and every Hostek.com reseller. We have been consistently serious about our role in ColdFusion hosting and, with this new option to operate on Linux, we remain committed to offering the most competitive ColdFusion hosting services.

Since first offering ColdFusion hosting in 2002, Hostek.com has grown to become a distinguished figure in the ColdFusion web hosting industry. By adding a selection of ColdFusion 9 Linux hosting services to an already varied and popular choice of Windows ColdFusion plans, Hostek.com is now offering an incredibly varied service range that is sure to maintain customer satisfaction and encourage future growth.

Customers interested in learning more about Hostek.com and their range of Linux ColdFusion hosting services are encouraged to visit hostek.com.

About Hostek.com

Hostek.com has been providing industry leading web hosting solutions to businesses and individuals since 1998. Hostek.coms services include Windows and Linux ColdFusion hosting, Railo hosting, Linux hosting, Windows reseller hosting, and ASP.NET web hosting as well as domain registration, web site management, and consultation.

Transfluent Helps Businesses Go Native Globally

(PRWEB) September 14, 2011

At the TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco, Transfluent today announced the launch of its professional, near-real-time language translation service for Facebook, Twitter and WordPress.

Transfluent offers businesses a completely new way to reach global markets, leveraging the communication that is already being posted on social media sites.

Transfluent is fully automated and easy to use, yet more affordable than traditional translation services. The goal of the Transfluent service is to make it possible for any business to engage in global communication with no language barriers.

Translations are crowdsourced from human professionals around the globe, ensuring a guaranteed high quality. A pool of more than 15,000 translators, covering more than 60 languages, is available 24 hours a day, every day of the week.

Transfluent users can, for example, email a weekly newsletter in Chinese, have a Facebook fan page in French, a Twitter account in Italian and speak fluent Arabic in blog comments. A special customer support tool makes it possible for an English-speaking customer support team to handle direct customer communication in any language.

Weve noticed that most companies avoid translating content because of the amount of work associated with doing so. You have to find translators, send over the text to be translated, wait, and eventually receive the translated text. After all that, you still need to find a way to publish the text. Doing it once is tedious; doing it on a daily or weekly basis is simply not feasible. Transfluent completely eliminates all of this extra work and enables global communication for everyone, says Jani Penttinen, founder and CEO of Transfluent.

About Transfluent

Transfluent is a revolutionary new translation service, launched on September 13, 2011 at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco. Transfluent combines crowdsourcing with sophisticated software to optimize the quality and speed of translations. Transfluent is based in Helsinki, Finland and has offices in Sunnyvale, California.

Hand-Picked Real Estate Marketing Tools and Closing Gifts Save Time and Increase Revenue for Industry Professionals

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) September 15, 2011

In response to the needs of real estate professionals in todays market, Build Real Estate Results with Getting It Write, Inc. (BRER) has researched and hand-picked real estate marketing tools and closing gifts that can have an impact on a brokers or agents revenue by saving time and increasing sales.

Its no secret that real estate professionals are more challenged in this real estate market. A noticeable number of professionals are leaving the profession. Those who remain active are looking for creative ways to manage their businesses and increase the number of leads they receive and convert to clients.

According to Kathleen Allardyce, founder of Getting It Write Inc., There are a multitude of companies trying to sell their products within the real estate community. Some of those products work, but a good portion of them dont. There are many agents who have invested in products that just dont produce any return on investment.

BRER is in a unique position to make recommendations on products that will give agents a competitive edge. Weve been finding marketing solutions for real estate professionals for years. Our insight into the needs of agents and brokers gives us the ability to hand-pick creative solutions for this competitive market, said Allardyce.

The real estate tools that can be found on the BRER website address issues such as using an easy-to-learn contact manager to convert prospects, or an effective backup service to eliminate the time, frustration and loss of business that results from a computer malfunction.

The closing gifts that BRER is recommending serve one purpose: to increase the number of referral and repeat clients an agent works with. Traditionally, a closing gift was just a token of appreciation that an agent gave to a buyer or seller after a completed transaction.

In this market, professionals cant afford to let the opportunity represented by closing gifts go to waste. BRER has researched and picked closing gifts that last. Were recommending that agents avoid gifts like gift baskets or a fine bottle of wine, Allardyce confirmed. The gift should be something that a client will have for years something that will remind them of the agent at a time when theyre asked for a referral, or theyre planning a move themselves.

A recent study conducted by the National Association of REALTORs

New Foundation Launched to Support Children with Special Educational Needs

England (PRWEB UK) 21 September 2011

A new foundation which will enable practitioners to join together to provide multi-disciplinary specialist services for children with special educational needs is being launched next month – and could transform the present fragmented and bureaucratic system.

The Clarity Foundation hopes to attract health and social care providers, as well as education specialists, to join as members who can be referred to families and local authorities as approved providers meeting statutory guidelines.

The foundation is the brainchild of speech and language therapist Janet OKeefe and Robert Ashton, best selling business author, social entrepreneur and campaigner, who are passionate about providing a new joined-up efficient system which supports children and their families with educational support, while at the same time eliminating unnecessary duplication and bureaucracy.

It will be launched at a conference entitled, Towards a Positive Future, aimed at parents and professionals, to inspire, share experiences and discover how they can achieve more for children with special needs. The conference is being held on October 14-15 at Arlington Arts Centre, Newbury, which is based at the Mary Hare School for deaf children.

There are currently 1.7 million children with special educational needs in England who require support for wide ranging conditions, from dyslexia, dyspraxia and Downs syndrome, to autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Janet says: We believe that having a one-stop shop is the best way to enable parents and local authorities find all the support services desperately needed by children with special needs, and that our foundation is the most practical and efficient way of ensuring that those services are integrated and coordinated. We need to bring practitioners from health, education and social care together and plan for the future while the present guidelines for new contract arrangements is under review. Our foundation will be a valuable database of all heath and social care providers, as well as education specialists.

Additionally, we can streamline time consuming and expensive administrative processes. For example, we can help with criminal bureau checks and professional indemnity insurance. At the moment, if a practitioner is not directly employed by a school or local authority, every school they visit should conduct its own CRB check. Many practitioners regularly visit 20 schools a week sometimes in several different counties and are therefore checked 20 times.

Robert says it makes good sense to become more efficient during the present shake up of these services:

He says: However you feel about the Governments Big Society agenda, the fact is that the worlds of education, health and social care are undergoing massive change. The Clarity Foundation is being formed to help parents make sense of those changes, and in parallel to help practitioners create their own enterprises. That way both groups can connect, create opportunities and meet the needs of young people striving to overcome disadvantage.

Specialist speakers include educational psychologist and former head teacher Charlie Mead, who has worked with children with severe emotional and behavioural problems and special needs for 20 years. He has grave concerns about the present system and highlights failures he has observed, leading to neglect in some cases for vulnerable young people.

He says: Charities are afraid to stand up for their clients in case their funding is withdrawn. Academies are afraid of further failure by taking on exactly those students who would benefit most from their resources. Children and Family Services have neglected the vulnerable due to bureaucratic inertia and a lack of consistency. All these situations can be changed if the interests of the child are put first.

When working with highly vulnerable children in care, many of whom have been sectioned, it is clear that the recession is having a considerable impact on the young people and their families especially those who cannot cope emotionally, are addicts, are sexualized early and have been abused. They need expert consistent provision not piecemeal services from organisations who are threatened by lack of funding.

Other key speakers are Kevin Geeson, CEO of Dyslexia Action, who will highlight the impact of the SEN Green Paper; speech and language specialist Prof Heather van der Lely, who will highlight her simple test for an early diagnosis of specific language impairment; and both Sandy Burbach and Alex Kelly, who will describe the importance of developing social skills and self esteem in children.

Janet is also launching a book she has edited at the conference also called Towards a Positive Future which includes stories, ideas and inspiration from children with special educational needs, their families and professionals.

Full details about the conference can be found at their website, Towards a Positive Future: http://towardsapositivefuture.wordpress.com/

Joseph Federico Speaks on Proper Electrical Testing at the DMSMS and Standardization Conference 2011

Clifton, NJ (PRWEB) September 23, 2011

Joseph Federico Vice President and director of operations of NJ Micro Electronic Test Labs spoke about proper testing for counterfeit electronics at the DMSMS conference recently concluded in Hollywood, Florida.

As exhibitors, we were proud to present our Mission: Imposter Counterfeit Component Test Program as well as to present a lecture on the proper electrical testing protocols that should be used in testing components for their full functional and parametric performance. These tests are invaluable in helping to detect counterfeit components, said Joseph Federico.

Joseph Federicos lecture was entitled Proper Electrical Testing to Detect Counterfeit Components. Its scope was to educate members of the electronics industry about the risks associated with performing only basic contact testing with simple counterfeit detectors as opposed to the preferred functional and parametric exercises required to properly test these suspect electronic components.

The objective of the conference was to focus on significantly improved DMSMS and Standardization policies, procedures, guidance, and automated tools that optimize Warfighter materiel readiness, and includes activities required to attain this goal such as Value Engineering, Product Support and Total Life Cycle Management, Parts Management, and mitigating the Counterfeiting epidemic on parts, material, and materiel. To meet this objective our approaches to managing the ever-present obsolescence problem must be examined. See the DMSMS website for a more details.

As an introductory message from the conference chair, director of the DMSMS Gregory E. Saunders outlined the importance of the conference objective by emphasizing that the strategic goals of the Department of Defense (DoD) objective was to include increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of developing, producing, testing and sustaining systems so that required warfighter capabilities are available.

He further went on to explain that the conference agenda would provide insight into the current best practices in DMSMS, Standardization, Parts Management, Value Engineering, Counterfeit Detection and Reporting, Total Life Cycle Management, and several other DMSMS and Standardization processes and initiatives.

The team at NJ Micro Electronic Testing participated in the Counterfeit Parts Control Plan Implementations, the DMSMS Tools and Services Program, as well as technical sessions and panels which included Institutionalizing Standard Practices, Defense Initiatives and their impact to DMSMS, Counterfeit Mitigation Strategies and Counterfeit Reporting.

One of the key sessions which we felt was an asset to this conference was the Counterfeit Reporting Workshop which excellently illustrated some of the main differences between the various reporting tools, said Joseph Federico. It also discussed processes and systems which increase the sharing of information enabling early detection and prevention of counterfeiting at all levels of the DoD supply chain.

In our opinion this conference was one of the best opportunities for exchanging information between the audience and presenters, Joseph Federico added.

On a different note, there was a major concern on behalf of the US Department of Defense on the potential cutback of electrical testing of electronic components.

The Military and Aerospace industry attendees and exhibitors had major concerns about the limited testing performed by a curve/contact tester versus the preferred DC, AC functional and parametric testing over the device temperature in uncovering counterfeit product said Joseph Federico of NJ Micro Electronic Testing.

This is the primary reason why we held the lecture on proper electrical testing; to emphasize the importance of performing proper DC, AC functional and parametric testing. Electrical testing provides a more thorough exercise in testing electronic component products to illustrate their accuracy and authenticity, said Joseph Federico.

All of the workshops were extremely helpful in moving forward on improving organizational structures and improving DMSMS strategies for the future, Joseph Federico concluded.

Clifton, New Jersey based NJ Micro Electronic Testing provides a wide and diversified range of laboratory test and management services. NJ Micro Electronic Testing is equipped and staffed to be a single source provider for all testing needs.

For more information about testing electronic components, see Joseph Federico’s blog at: http://josephfedericonj.wordpress.com/.

MailChimp Simplifies the Boss Approval Process

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) October 19, 2011

MailChimp today announced the launch of the OnStage application, a collaborative email campaign editing solution. OnStage provides a single location for MailChimp subscribers to showcase email campaigns prior to sending. It streamlines the email campaign feedback process, allowing for quicker and closer collaboration between colleagues.

A common bottleneck in the creation of email campaigns is the review process. An email draft is carefully crafted, a test email is sent, but now it must be looked over by several sets of eyes, many of which will want to see some changes. The revisions are made, but this leads to another round of review. The flurry of emails back and forth can be cumbersome, and details can be overlooked in the noise. OnStage eliminates this email game of telephone tag.

OnStage lets email creators present an email draft to their boss and colleagues all at once. The email draft is pulled directly from the creator’s MailChimp Campaign, displaying it for all participants in the presentation. The audience can then converse about it in OnStage’s “Peanut Gallery,” proposing changes and giving real time critique with its chat function. The chat can be easily filtered, letting the creator focus on one or two voices in the conversation. OnStage also provides a simple, collaborative to-do list that saves key feedback points, and easily lays out requested changes. The to-do list is easily updated and augmented by the creator and users alike. Annotated changes can be added to the campaign when users click exactly on the part of the email campaign that needs fixing and writing in their thoughts or solutions. These points are then automatically added to the to-do list.

After the initial showcase, suggested changes are then made to the original email, after which its creator can head back to OnStage for another round of feedback. This process can be repeated as many times as needed until it’s given the go ahead for sending.

This is a nifty way to keep the conversation in one place, facilitating close, easy collaboration.

The service is completely free. All it takes is a MailChimp account, an email campaign, and someone(s) who likes to edit other people’s work.

To get started, head over to onstageapp.com. Once there, a user will log in with their MailChimp credentials. They can then pick a campaign to showcase and invite participants. After everyone arrives via a unique link, the collaborative process begins.

OnStage was developed by MailChimp Labs. MailChimp Labs has released a slew of innovative, at times irreverent, email apps and projects, including Chimpadeedee, Omnivore, the Email Genome Project, and LOLCode.

Computers, Health and Dry Eye Education

Grants Pass, OR (PRWEB) October 31, 2011

Bio Logic Aqua Research would like to announce new education on computers, health and dry eyes, courtesy of the Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water.

Computers may not be safe.

Sharon Kleyne, water advocate, entrepreneur and radio talk show host, interviewed author and computer health education advocate Adetutu Ijose on the Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water, November 9, 2009.

Adetutu became a spokesperson and educator for the health risks of computers while working in Information Technology. She assuming her computer was safe but discovered that this was not necessarily the case when she developed serious health problems involving her eyes, chronic fatigue and computer eye strain. She was forced to determine for herself that they were computer related.

The light from a computer screen.

Working at a computer, according to Adetutu, is not natural and is very different from working at a typewriter. Although the computer screen is intensely bright, your eyes and brain do not recognize this as sunlight. It’s like staring directly into the sun and not realizing you’re doing it.

Also, because you are engaged in an intense activity, your eyes’ reflexive blink rate can drop from an average of 30 times a minute to five times a minute. The blink rate drop exposes the eye to increased tear moisture evaporation that could lead to dry eye, eye fatigue and computer eye strain.

Computers and body defenses.

The human body, Adetutu explains, contains trillions of cells each programmed to behave in a certain way. They have a “script” and “repair kit” for anything that goes wrong. The role of doctors is to stimulate this self-healing ability. When you perform an activity new to your body’s experience, you may be nearly defenseless.

Sharon Kleyne agreed, observing that no two people are alike and that some people cannot use computers. Dry eye, carpal tunnel syndrome, depression, weight gain and orthopedic problems are commonly experienced by individuals using a computer more than three hours a day. The lost productivity amounts to about $ 50 billion a year.

Many of these symptoms take a long time to manifest.

Computer eye strain.

Adetutu’s primary symptoms were fatigue and stress, attributed to burnout and not suspecting her computer. When she finally determined the source, she worked out a series of prevention measures enabling her to return to work. .

Computers and stress.

The body’s neurotransmitters (chemicals at the end of nerve cells that transmit messages to individual cells) are heavily involved in communication between the eyes, brain and body. Neurotransmitters are. either “excitatory” or “inhibitory” and include epinephrine, histamine, dopamine, serotonin and GABA (y-aminobutyric acid). Stimulating the wrong neurotransmitters, among other things, can cause severe depression.

Sharon noted that the eyes are closely linked to the brain, the brain is 80% water and the eye’s tear film is 99% water.

Proactive eye health information.

Adetutu concluded that a small screen is worse than a large screen and a flat panel screen is better than a cathode ray tube. She recommends drinking eight to ten glasses of water a day and keeping a window opened to increase humidity. She also recommends frequent breaks and wet cotton balls on the eyes. Sharon suggests eating dark green leafy vegetables and foods with omega-3 fatty acids to strengthen eyes and prevent dry eye. She also recommends Nature’s Tears

World Water Crisis, Water Wars: Living Water International Guests on Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water Radio Show

Grants Pass, OR (PRWEB) November 04, 2011

On October 31, 2011, Sharon Kleyne, water advocate, Founder of Bio Logic Aqua Research and Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water host, interviewed Jerry Wiles, President Emeritus of Living Water International. Mr. Wiles’ non-profit, faith based organization is dedicated to providing water wells in third world countries.

In much of the world, according to Sharon Kleyne and Jerry Wiles, lack of safe and abundant fresh water causes dry air and numerous dehydration diseases, including dry eye leading to blindness. Water issues may also be responsible for lack of economic development and education and lowered status of women.

The interview may be played in podcast on World Talk Radio, Voice America, Green Talk Network, Apple iTunes, and naturestears.com. and Amazon.com

Living Water International was founded 21 years ago and continues to save and improve lives in the third world. They have completed 11,000 water well projects, with 1,387 in 2010 and 1,600 projected for 2011.

This faith based, non-profit organization works closely with the energy industry, which frequently donates drilling equipment. An energy industry employee on Living Water’s board developed a portable drilling rig for them that can be carried in a Jeep or canoe and runs on two gasoline engines. These are now in use all over the world.

Living Water works with the host nation (usually in Africa, Asia and South and Central America) and also assists in setting up local water committees (mostly women). Community wells may be located near a school or hospital and are maintained by the local committee, which also provides education on sanitation practices such as hand washing to prevent numerous dry eye diseases, including dry eye.

Jerry Wiles discussed bio-sand filters, developed by Living Water. It uses a barrel, gravity and layers of gravel, sand and charcoal to purify water. Water may be contaminated from human and animal waste, made worse by frequent drought. The result is dehydration disease, dry eye, cholera, diarrhea and malaria, leading to preventable blindness and deaths.

Water shortages in the United States

Sharon asked about charitable water wells in poor areas of the United States, noting that fresh water and agricultural water are becoming scarce. Jerry Wiles said that Living Water hasn’t yet drilled in the US and observed that in the US, the push for indoor pluming and reliable municipal water began 150 years ago with huge benefits. India and China are attempting to achieve that. Both have plenty of water but far too many people and much of their water is polluted.

The average American uses 100 gallons of water a day. The average third world villager uses less than five gallons a day. In villages with no wells, women walk an average of 3.17 miles a day to obtain fresh water.

Sharon asked about water for animals, mentioning the Mara River in Kenya and the diminishing water supply for migrating animals. Jerry Wiles observed that drought in the third world can be catastrophic for everyone. Living Water wells are mostly used for human consumption but could be used for livestock.
