Stafford Springs, CT (PRWEB) February 17, 2012

While roses and chocolate are the “go-to” Valentine’s Day gifts for most people, some couples go above and beyond by purchasing more expensive items like jewelry and electronics. As experts in Connecticut insurance, the licensed agents at Paradiso Insurance know that any gifts that come with hefty price tags should be properly insured. Now that couples have already exchanged gifts, the team at Paradiso Insurance would like to highlight some common items that require insurance coverage:

Many people give jewelry to their significant others on Valentine’s Day, but one thing that those who receive expensive pieces may forget to do is insure these valuables under their Connecticut homeowners insurance policy. Depending on the value of the item, it may even be necessary to obtain a rider policy if the cost of replacing the item would exceed the limit set by the homeowner’s insurance.
Couples that have been considering getting a pet may wait until a special time to purchase or adopt their new furry friend. Pets can bring joy into a household, but they can also unintentionally cause accidents, which is why it is important for them to be covered under the family’s homeowners’ insurance.
For those who received high-tech gadgets like electronics or new TVs, additional insurance policies will be able to protect these items whether they are stored at home or are taken on the go.

People who have taken the time to plan for and invest in generous gifts this Valentine’s Day should consider whether or not these things will need insurance. In the unfortunate event that they are damaged, stolen or cause an accident, it’s a comfort knowing that it will not result in a financial loss for the owner. The team at Paradiso Insurance knows that when it comes to insurance, Connecticut residents can never be too sure that their valuables are protected!

About Paradiso Insurance:

Paradiso Insurance has more than 11 years of experience providing insurance solutions and financial services to residents and businesses in the Connecticut area. Our agency carries all lines of insurance — notably commercial, home, auto, investments and Connecticut life insurance. Whether you’re looking to purchase insurance for the first time or simply want to re-evaluate your coverage, Paradiso Insurance will be there for you.

Saint Louis, MO (PRWEB) February 21, 2012

LockerDome, a social sports community, announced today that it has been selected as the only St. Louis-based company to present at the prestigious Silicon Valley Bank Showcase event on March 22, in Silicon Valley.

The Silicon Valley Bank Showcase, which began more than a decade ago, features early-stage startups in the software and services industry including consumer Internet, digital media, mobile, enterprise software, SaaS, infrastructure software, cloud computing, data management, and digital health companies.

LockerDome is one of only 25 companies across the country to be selected for the event, and will give of a 7-minute presentation to over 100 venture capitalists and angel investors.

“We are excited and proud that one of our portfolio companies has been selected to present at this highly-regarded event, and are confident that LockerDome will impress everyone there as the social network for athletes that is sweeping the nation,” remarked Judy Sindecuse, Managing Partner of Capital Innovators, an early-stage technology fund based in St. Louis.

“The Silicon Valley Bank Showcase is a great platform for LockerDome to gain national exposure to the investor community. We’re honored to be the only company from St. Louis that was selected to present,” commented LockerDome co-founder and CEO, Gabe Lozano.

In January, LockerDome announced that Jim McKelvey, co-founder of Square, a billion-dollar mobile payments device company, is one of its investors and a member of its Board of Directors. That news was right on the heels of LockerDome closing a $ 750K angel financing round.

LockerDome continues to build momentum. More than 550 of the top amateur sports programs, such as the Houston Dynamo Juniors, have launched their own LockerDome networks, which serve as their own private social network where their athletes, coaches, and parents can create profiles, upload media, and gain national exposure. LockerDome has doubled each of the last two quarters and is on pace to more than double again in Q1.

LockerDome is also quickly gaining traction with celebrity and brand networks, which integrate celebrity athletes’ sports identities and media brands side-by-side with amateur athletes, fans, and the rest of the LockerDome sports community. Since the beginning of January, already more than 50 such networks have been launched, such as with Chris Duncan, a former St. Louis Cardinals baseball player and current radio host for 101ESPN.

About LockerDome

LockerDome is a social networking site for sports. Just like Facebook is your personal persona and LinkedIn is your professional persona, LockerDome is your sports persona.

Peter Thomas Senese’ CHASING THE CYCLONE

(PRWEB) February 21, 2012

Amazon Kindle readers are making a big impact for children who are targeted against International child abduction: under an exclusive e-book offering via Amazon, best-selling geopolitical thriller writer Peter Thomas Senese’s author royalties from his notable novels including Chasing The Cyclone, The Den of the Assassin and Cloning Christ will be donated to the I CARE Foundation in order to help the not-for-profit organization continue its multiple child abduction prevention initiatives, including seeking the passage of specific new federal legislation that may dramatically reduce cross border abduction.

Mr. Senese, known for writing highly complex historical fiction stories evolving around theological, legal, and political issues, has a long history of acting to benefit children, including assisting children fighting cancer, providing significant resources to literary programs, and over the past three years, working tirelessly to raise social awareness of the growing severity of international parental child abduction, while also creating an assortment of critical tools that have been used by scores of parents who have been able to protect their children from abduction. Exemplifying the Mr. Senese and the I CARE Foundation’s commitment, over the past few weeks, the I CARE Foundation was responsible for reuniting four children who were previously abducted, with their respective families, while also working to prevent a significant number of abductions from occurring.

Peter Thomas Senese commented, “I am very happy to know that fans of my writing and Amazon consumers are able to turn to their Kindle and download any one of my thrillers, while knowing that the majority of their purchase price goes directly to helping children at risk of international abduction. What society is only beginning to realize is that there is a growing plague of American children being abducted abroad. In fact, the I CARE Foundation recently released a study that conservatively projects the number of American children who will disappear abroad over the next decade could exceed 125,000 defenseless kids, while estimating that less than 15% of children taken will ever find their way home. That’s two football stadiums, or enough 5 year old children holding hands to stretch 125 miles! Obviously, this is not acceptable.”

Senese, who has written the critically acclaimed novel Chasing The Cyclone that is deeply inspired by his own experiences racing into the storms of international child abduction continued. “I am very pleased at the great, selfless, and quite frankly tireless work of the I CARE Foundation. I am pleased to point out that in part through the funding of sales of my novels, the I CARE Foundation has made a significant contribution to children by creating a national campaign recruiting lawyers willing to sigh the Department of State’s pro boon “Hague Convention Attorney Network.” In fact, each I CARE Director, who all participate in the pro boon network over the past month assisted in recovering an abducted child taken overseas. From the southern most tip of Florida to the northwestern most tip of Washington State, and places in between, we’re assisting in building a network of lawyers trained, willing, and able to help at-risk kids. And sales of Chasing The Cyclone, The Den of the Assassin, and Cloning Christ are a big reason why.”

Book critics are praising Peter Thomas Senese’s newly released Chasing The Cyclone.

The New York Journal of Books wrote, “Chasing The Cyclone is a well-written thriller . . . Senese shares myriad emotions by writing in the first-person as he weaves through the action in this suspense-filled story . . . This novel might also be considered a treatise on international child abduction. Cyclone, while full of actual strategies and resources to assist parents in international abductions, is above all else a love story about a father and son … Cyclone is rife with international intrigue and suspense . . . Cyclone will leave you informed and satisfied . . . you will be reluctant to put down.

Dr. Grady Harp, a highly respected Amazon Hall Of Fame book reviewer said, “Peter Thomas Senese now opens the windows on the magnitude of these tragedies in his excellent “Chasing The Cyclone”… As if the fast paced energy of this story weren’t enough to satisfy the reader, Peter Thomas Senese demonstrates his quality as a writer of distinction on many levels… this impossible to put down book…”

The Den of the Assassin, a multi-dimensional thriller set on Wall Street and is based upon historical events that jettison the reader on a thrilling global geopolitical journey into the hidden and unseen worlds that exists within nations that have different global agendas than the United States and the West, including but not limited to China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran. Most concerning, as each nation has become more reliant on one another in our global society, a new level of extraordinary vulnerability to our national security has been created, one perhaps we may not be prepared for. In The Den of the Assassin, believe readers will find the uniquely accurate information on this subject that is carefully weaved through an intricate, entertaining storyline to be quite fascinating – and disturbing.

Amazon Hall of Fame book reviewer Daniel Jolley stated, “This is one seriously good thriller. Billed as “a novel of international finance and espionage,” The Den of the Assassin is a super-realistic exploration of frightening possibilities, unsurpassed heroism, Lucifer-like evil, and terrorism of the worst kind . . . Peter Thomas Senese does a masterful job traversing the inner hallways of diverse institutions as he slowly brings all of these diverse elements together for a slam-bang climax … “Peter Thomas Senese displays a wealth of knowledge of geopolitics, espionage, and international finance, describing all the technical intricacies of the story’s elements and implications with great attention to detail -without ever letting the pace get bogged down or become confusing to the reader. He also keeps a number of secrets close to the vest, saving them for just the right time in the story . . . Many a writer of thrillers seem to drop the ball somewhere in the middle of their novels, but Peter Thomas Senese’s’ knowledge of geopolitics, international finance, and 21st century terrorist threats keeps the fires of detailed complexity and story evolution stoked and red-hot for the entire ride. Tyler Boxter is no James Bond, but Den of the Assassin proves to be just as exciting as any 007 caper – and much more realistic.”

Cloning Christ, Peter Thomas Senese’s theological thriller that asks the question, “What would you do if you held the potential True Cross of Jesus in your hands, and it contained blood and hair strains on it? has had readers from around the world talking about the endless possibilities Senese brings out in his novel that pushes the question of where and how science and faith can co-exist in today’s world.

Amazon Hall Of Fame book critic Harriett Klausner commented, “Fans will relish this thriller. The tale is loaded with action yet uses the characters as symbols of mankind similar to a medieval passion play like Everyman. The cast represents the faithful, the disbelievers, the dividers (torn between science and religion) or the selfish. “Cloning Christ” brings the debate of religion vs. science to the forefront in an exciting manner that focuses on the sacredness of life.”

GiveBack

Lawrence, KS & Orlando, FL (PRWEB) July 25, 2011

World Company is launching its successful GiveBack “Buy Local” program (http://www.give-back.us/) in Steamboat and Craig, Colorado, as the precursor to making the program available as a turn-key system for municipalities, Chambers of Commerce, local buying groups, and media partners early next year. As part of the turn-key conversion and new market roll-out, World Company has partnered with Sundrop Mobile, the leader in POS-integrated mobile loyalty solutions, as the enabling technology partner for the program going forward.

GiveBack started in 2009 in Lawrence, KS as a “Buy Local” initiative. Lawrence, KS has approximately 35,000 households with a total population of 85,000 residents. In 2 years, 20,000 residents have enrolled in the program resulting in $ 11,000,000 in local expenditures and over $ 120,000 given to local charities. The Lawrence GiveBack program has 68 participating merchants and has generated interest from other communities nationwide looking to emulate the program’s success in Lawrence.

Consumers are encouraged to buy locally by registering with GiveBack. Then, purchases at participating businesses help consumers earn points toward a gift issuance on their card while simultaneously triggering a contribution to local charities. The GiveBack program uses permission-based marketing services to drive those consumers to other participating local businesses, which helps keep tax revenue in the community, funds local charitable causes, and builds community businesses.

World Company has solved the problems associated with a multiple merchant loyalty program, and leveraging Sundrop Mobile’s underlying technology, can now more easily deploy a community-wide program that is both cost-effective and easy to administer. After launching in Steamboat and Craig, CO, World Company and Sundrop are going to re-package the program into a turn-key solution for other organizations to deploy in their own communities.

For more information about GiveBack and to register interest in running a GiveBack “Buy Local” program in your own community, visit http://www.give-back.us/.

GroupLogic, Inc.

Arlington, VA (PRWEB) February 16, 2012

GroupLogic®, the industry’s leading provider of software products that unlock the power of new enterprise platforms, has released version 3.5 of its Mobile File Management (MFM) software, mobilEcho™. The new version makes it easier for both end users and enterprise IT to simply access and manage secure mobile file access on a variety of mobile devices, such as iPad and iPhone, with key upgrades like two-way sync and even more security controls.

“Today’s employees and executives need access to corporate files on mobile devices like iPad and iPhone,” said Brad Hillebrand, Director of Enterprise Technology for Rustoleum and also a GroupLogic mobilEcho customer. “IT’s challenge is to provide that access in a simple, secure and easy-to-manage way that ensures corporate governance and compliance requirements are met. mobilEcho has enabled our team to be productive and get remote access to the latest information with two-way sync functionality, while maintaining our security standards with little time required.”

Enterprises are becoming increasingly mobile, and that trend is forecasted to continue to grow sharply upwards as more tablets and smartphones hit the market and are brought into business environments by users and IT alike. According to a recent report by leading analyst firm Gartner, by 2013, 80 percent of businesses will support a workforce using tablets, and providing employees with mobile access to the basic enterprise functions will be of utmost importance to IT. “In cases where employees are bringing their own devices for convenience, enterprises will have to offer appliance-level support with a limited level of network connectivity (which will likely include access to enterprise mail and calendaring) and help desk support for connectivity issues.”

mobilEcho 3.5 fills this need by making corporate file access secure and seamless with its two-way syncing feature, which helps to ensure users have access to the most up-to-date files, presentations, data sheets, and product materials at all times. It also supports the QuickOffice® Save Back feature, which provides seamless access and editing. In addition, IT staff has more options to ensure corporate files are protected and to execute control by creating and managing black and white list approvals.

A complete index of mobilEcho 3.5 features includes:

    Two-way syncing of files;
    HTTPS Reverse Proxy password and certificate authentication;
    Streamlined device enrollment process;
    Integration with Quickoffice’s “save back” feature; and
    White or black listing of third party apps allowed to “open in.”

“While the Bring Your Own Device trend has helped open the doors for people who want to use iPad and iPhone at work, one of the real benefits to using these devices at the enterprise-level is that they allow employees to securely access corporate files on numerous devices, regardless of location,” said Anders Lofgren, VP of Marketing and Product Management at GroupLogic. “Adding mobilEcho into the mix gives IT and security managers the confidence they need to provide employees with a highly efficient, more satisfying work experience, all without opening up the enterprise to corporate security breaches.”

mobilEcho 3.5 is available today and can be purchased via the GroupLogic web store (http://www.grouplogic.com/store/). Interested IT organizations can also take advantage of GroupLogic’s free trial of mobilEcho by visiting: http://www.grouplogic.com/enterprise-file-sharing/ipad-file-system/free-trial.html. GroupLogic offers two pricing options for enterprises, including subscription and perpetual licensing.

About GroupLogic

GroupLogic® helps enterprise and education IT organizations simply and securely integrate diverse computing platforms into enterprise environments, connecting employees to enterprise files, content and assets to facilitate a more productive and efficient work environment. With more than two decades of experience, GroupLogic leads the marketplace in helping IT organizations effectively and easily manage the integration of Apple products into the enterprise ecosystem. Whether IT organizations are looking to integrate existing Apple assets, purchase additional Apple hardware like Mac and iPad, or want to take advantage of the hardware costs savings that accompany the adoption of IT consumerization, GroupLogic enables IT organizations to easily and securely manage the rapid integration of diverse platforms while ensuring resources are optimized. GroupLogic enables the enterprise to focus on what is really important – competitive differentiation, improved employee productivity, mitigated risk and reduced costs.

Long Island Masonry Company

Smithtown, New York (PRWEB) February 19, 2012

Long Island Masons, Flawless Masonry, recently updates their website by adding new photo galleries. Flawless Masonry’s main focal point is their pictures, so it is important that they have a photo gallery that is state of the art and shows off their skills. In 2007 Flawless Masonry hired Long Island Web Design Company, Benjamin Marc to design & develop their new website. In 2007 Flash Animation was the most popular, advanced way to show a photo gallery. No one in the masonry industry was using flash on their website so Flawless had a leg up as far as style and taste. Views browsed through the website photo galleries with ease. This method worked perfectly for years and Flawless continued to add photos year by year to showcase their work.

Within recent years phones and tablet computers have been introduced, this innovative technology took the country by storm. Everyone had to have an iphone, ipad or android. The touch technology was mesmerizing and much faster than any technology that was on the market thus far. For the most part this was great news for Flawless Masonry, Owner Devin Faello expressed that bringing his ipad to show potential customers their work was easier than lugging around heavy photo galleries. There was only one bad part, Some of the new phones and tablets do not read flash, which means that if you looking at Flawless Masonry’s website on your phone or tablet the photo gallery would not show up. How can you hire a Masonry company without seeing their work. This would not be a problem for Flawless Masonry, they understand that they have to change with the times and new technology changes everyday. Flawless turned to Long Island Website Designers, Benjamin Marc once again to come up with a way to showcase their photo galleries for every computer, phone and tablet. Benjamin Marc advised that Flawless used java script. and jquery plugins. Benjamin Marc implemented the new scripting to the galleries and Flawless is able to show their beautiful work on every device.

In February Flawless Masonry launched the new photo galleries along with making some other changes that have enhanced the website even more.

A Little about Long Island Masonry Contractors, Flawless Masonry.

Flawless Masonry serves all of Long Island, including both Nassau and Suffolk County.  They offer services such as patios, poolscapes, veneers, driveways, walkways,landscape design, water features and much more.
