MeasurementMedia Announces New Three New Information Web Sites

Southampton, PA (PRWEB) October 28, 2007

The MeasurementMedia Division of Temperatures.com, Inc., a leading provider of measurement-related websites, has expanded MeasurementDevices.com into three new web sites to broaden the scope, yet focus on specialty areas in online industry & science measurement news &directories of information resources.

The forerunner site, MeasurementDevices.com (http://www.MeasurementDevices.com) has been building its resource directories for nearly three years and its news archives of daily news stories for the past two years. It became evident that there was too much information on the site and the split added three additional websites.

Left in place was searchable news archive of new product and company news. The requirement to register to submit PR or news was dropped, however, new vendor directory submissions still need a no-charge registration.

(PRWEB) October 28, 2007 — Measurement Databases (MeasurementDB.com) indexes available databases and measurement resources including R&D news stories. It features free R&D news publishing; registered users may also contribute resource links on specific measurement device technologies and related resources such as technical calculators, conversion aids, materials properties and more.

(Note to PR and Engineering Staffs – Don’t hide your white papers, online tools and technology tutorials in the depths of your seldom visited web pages waiting to be discovered. Post them on MeasurementDB.com and see them highlighted on their front page plus indexed in their free, browsable & searchable database!)

MeasurementMedia (MeasurementMedia.com) focuses on cataloging and making available information on Meetings related to industry and science measurements, publications and technical societies, standards and education & training resources.

Organizations may post their Calls for Papers (CFPs) and special news on this site also at no cost and with no requirement to register. Registration is free and gives one the ability to submit related, permanent resource information, such as a new journal or training organization or details of a newly published standard.

MeasurementBlog.com is a special weblog (blog) site for sharing thoughts and comments, including respectful rants on measurement in Industry & Science, and new technologies of interest in all aspects of measurement including education. It is very open and user-friendly, based on popular WordPress blogging software.

Some recent post have included videos on graphing calculators, a tutorial on mirror ray-tracing and the use of social media in science education. All are invited to have a look and feel free to comment or submit. No cost, no obligation, just sharing, the way the Web was intended!

About MeasurementMedia Division

MeasurementMedia was formed in 2006 as the web publishing division within Temperatures.com, Inc. to focus on creation of user-friendly, educational and news reporting websites dealing with the many aspects of technology, practices and resources of measurement in Industry & Science.

Its role is to take the lessons learned from the initial websites in the group (see below) and expand them to all types of measurement-related areas in Industry & Science.

Temperatures.com’s founder had purchased the web addresses for MeasurementDevices.com back in 1998 when it became apparent that the Web was going to be the next big thing. The site lay dormant for several years and was given a boost in 2004 and has grown dramatically.

About Temperatures.com, Inc.

Temperatures.com, Inc., initially begun as a consulting operation with a website, http://www.temperatures.com in 2001, quickly became a web information resource on temperature and humidity sensors and their uses. It developed three websites related to the subjects with both education, industry and news functions.

Besides the original website, the top ranked site on most Internet Search Engines, they also operate:

TempSensor.net, a user-friendly site with free, searchable self-service directories of sensor vendors and online technology resources. The latter are selected from submitted tutorials, white papers and online articles where they can help improve user competence in selecting and using sensors.

TempSensorNEWS.com and TemperatureSensorNEWS.com (the same site) was resurrected from the past depths of Temperatures.com, where it began as an eNewsletter.

Now it has taken over the news-only function from TempSensor.net and is also unique, in that any news source, a company, a technical society or even a hobbiest who knows of a news-worthy event related to temperature and humidity sensors may submit a story without need for registration or prior approval. All submissions are reviewed and are subject to edit and rejection.

Oeneo Announces http://www.TCAfreecorks.com : Handy Site for Info About TCA and the Uniqueness of the DIAM Cork

NAPA, Calif. (PRWEB) July 9, 2008

As part of their effort to explain the phenomenon of TCA in corks, Oeneo has developed a sensory exercise kit where different types of corks, treated differently, can be soaked and sniffed to clearly demonstrate first-hand the differences between the various methods of cleaning cork and to see if you can detect TCA in a cork. This kit can be ordered through the new website as well.

TCAfreecorks.com http://www.TCAfreecorks.com is a new website which explains Diam’s unique answer to the problem of cork taint. Visitors to the site can read the research, send for a kit to test their own aromatic prowess (can you detect TCA?), study a diagram of the TCA molecule, take a tour of the Diam plant in San Vicente De Alcantra in Estremadura, Spain, read questions & answers on the topic and read comments from wineries using Diam. There is a downloadable section so that materials such as the TCA molecule can be clearly printed out.

What’s Diam? DIAM is the only cork closure available on the international market today which has no detectable levels of TCA. Only one innovative cork producer has spent millions of euros–including building a plant dedicated to producing a specialized cork–to provide a solution to the unpredictability of conventional cork. The Diam cork is made with the proprietary Diamant process, developed over seven years; it uses super-critical carbon dioxide to ‘purify’ corks of TCA and 150 other noxious molecules. The Diamant process (shortened to Diam as the cork-product name) is a specialized adaptation of the system used to take caffeine out of coffee beans and pesticides out of rice for the food industry.

The supercritical carbon dioxide, in a state ‘between’ liquid and gas, acts as a non-toxic solvent to remove TCA molecules and other compounds–from cork granules. The cork granules are then molded into a ‘technological’ or agglomerate cork a blend of cork, micro-spheres and a food-grade binding agent.

Diam Closures USA is the Napa-based arm of the France-based firm Oeneo Bouchage. Oeneo has a full line of closures which are made using its proprietary Diamant

Communications is Key to a Business" Competitive Advantage - The Professional Edge, Inc. Announces New Program to Aid Executives in Communication

York, PA (PRWEB) July 23, 2008

Companies looking to create a competitive advantage in today’s tight market should look no further than their own people. So notes Lynne Breil, president of The Professional Edge, a firm dedicated to improving the speaking, presenting and communication skills for business executives, managers and employees.

“Your people are really the face of your business,” says Breil. “The experience your customers and prospects have with your people make or break the sale and the on-going relationship.”

Breil states that training your people in these skill sets is one of the most powerful ways to create a competitive edge.

“By increasing the mastery of your people you are showing the marketplace that you value the relationships with them. You are also showing your employees that they are a true asset to your company.”

Breil presents several workshops and training sessions for corporations that are looking for a valuable competitive edge. The training sessions she offers include: Speak Easy: The Presentation Skills Boot Camp; Act Your Wage: The Advantage of Etiquette in Business; Dine for Dollars: Building Relationships with the Business Meal; and Master Your Message: Workplace Communication Strategies for Executives.

“Presentations and public speaking are still a big fear factor for most managers and employees,” says Breil. “They usually don’t have experience in these areas and so they need basic tools to give them a framework for their content and confidence in this skill set.”

Breil notes that she can see tremendous progress with people in just a one-day training session. In addition to the lectures and content, Breil’s sessions are very interactive and include videotaped practice sessions, which the participants can have when they leave the session.

“Sometimes it’s a brutal experience for people to see themselves on camera,” notes Breil. “But there’s nothing quite as effective as seeing yourself the same way that others see you. It’s a painful experience at first, but people tell us all the time that it was incredibly helpful.”

In addition to the presentation skills training, Breil has tapped an enormous need for business executives to understand acceptable and appropriate business etiquette.

“We have had so many shifts in our culture that people really don’t know what they can do that’s acceptable and appropriate in terms of business behavior,” says Breil. “Apart from the obvious skills of meeting and greeting people, there’s been such a lack of knowledge about how to handle technology. Cell phones, blackberries, texting and all of the new applications have blurred the lines of what constitutes good business etiquette.”

All of which is complicated by a digital generational divide.

“Our capability to spell is challenged by texting and the shortcuts that are needed for ease of communications,” says Breil. “But that doesn’t change the fact that rude behavior is never acceptable. For example, it’s still a good business practice to turn off your phone or PDA when you’re in a meeting or taking a client to lunch. Even though some of the rules of etiquette have changed, being rude has never been a good relationship builder.”

One of the most impactful programs that Breil leads is the communications workshop developed for top-level executives. Lack of good communication skills is often the cause of misunderstandings that lead to project delays and failures. Breil’s workshop focuses on the key skills that executives need to master to be able to communicate clearly and concisely and avoid the downtime that poor communication causes.

Executives who participate in this workshop begin to master this core leadership skill and are able to increase their value to the company and build a foundational level of competitive advantage.

“The sign of a good leader is his ability to communicate to his people in such a manner that they get the message, but that they are inspired and motivated to act on the message and to give more of themselves because they have been communicated with in a meaningful way.” Breil adds that she has never seen an executive with poor communication skills be able to maintain his position and to move up the executive ladder.

“Poor communication skills hold people back more than any other thing,” says Breil. “And most people don’t know how bad they are. But, trust me, their employees know!”

The Professional Edge, Inc. provides workshops, consultation and coaching on Business Etiquette (including International Business Etiquette), Presentation Skills, Communication Mastery for Managers and Executives and Sales Communication Skills. Lynne Breil is a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), as designated by the National Speakers Association, and is a national keynote speaker. The company is located in York, Pa and more information is available at http://www.theprofessionaledgeinc.com or at (717) 755-3333. Breil’s blog can be found at http://botched.wordpress.com.

MailChimp Announces Integration With Orchard CMS

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 16, 2011

MailChimp today announced the integration of Orchard CMS, providing an easy path for site owners to support email signups and build their lists. Emails are a natural tie in to CMSs and publishing, providing an excellent path for publishers to continue the conversation with their readers after they have left the website.

UK-based start-up, Pianola, developed the Mailchimp sign-up form module and recently released it to the Orchard CMS community. Orchard is new open-source content management system developed by a team at Microsoft to run on ASP.NET MVC.

Ive really enjoyed working with ASP.NET MVC since it came out,” Pianola lead developer Richard Garside said. When I heard it was at the heart of Orchard, Microsofts new Open Source CMS, I wanted to be involved early on. A really nice community of people have built up around Orchard and its good to play a small part by contributing modules to the project. The MailChimp module will help us, but its also great to be able to share it with others too.

Founder and CEO of Pianola, James Ward said: Were big fans of Mailchimps capabilities so the decision to use the service to build our list was a no-brainer. Our coming soon site is built using Orchard. Rather than hard code the sign-up form straight into our site we decided to create it as a reusable module and release it to the community so that others could integrate Mailchimp easily into their own Orchard sites too.

Pianola is a new online application providing smart tools for bridge club managers and players. It allows managers to maintain their membership list synchronized in one place, publish results online, easily upload play data to their national bridge organization in just a couple of clicks, issue membership renewals and keep accounts.

Players can use Pianola to find partners, record, track and analyze their performance in their own personalized history, and share, compare and discuss their game with other players online.
