PiceaEraser™ is the first mobile erasure on the market to pass the ADISA claims test

Tampere, Finland – March 2016 – Piceasoft’s PiceaEraser™ is the world`s first product to pass the ADISA Claims Test process for mobile erasure. The forensic tests were carried out by Professor Andrew Blyth, Head of Information Security from University of South Wales and ascertained whether data was recoverable on a device once PiceaEraser™ had been executed on it. Claims test result was: Pass on all devices tested – all forensic data recovery techniques, up to and including ADISA Test Level 1, failed to recover any data.

The technology tested was the Piceasoft Ltd PiceaEraser™ 3, which is available to all channels, service hubs and retail shops. PiceaEraser™’s unique and patented browser based online version targets consumer and corporate segments.

“The Claims Test process replicates a forensic attack on the devices in question using a prescribed level of capability. Professor Blyth’s team mounted attacks on the devices tested and were able to evidence that no data was recoverable,” said Steve Mellings, ADISA.

“We are proud to have this certification for our mobile eraser product as first in the market especially because tests were done by from professor Blyth who is the leading expert in this business,” said Jyri Roselius, Piceasoft CEO.

A Pratt Student’s Video on Quadruplets Surviving Foster Care Triggers an Out-Pour of Love and Support

It started with a video “Straight Outta Beverly Hills” about the Lucci quadruplets who were born and raised in Beverly Hills until they entered the foster care system on Christmas Eve at age 11. Overnight the video attracted thousands of views and an outpour of love and support after shedding light on growing up in the foster care system.

The video was shot by Jade Collins-Parnell a film student at the prestigious Pratt Institute in Brooklyn New York, which was ranked in the U.S. News & World Report  as being one of the top 20 best colleges in the north. A triplet herself Jade met the 19 year old quadruplets Bianca, Madison, Tiffany, and Paris Lucci, growing up in Beverly Hills.

Surviving every imaginable hardship the video is a glimpse into the quadruplet’s heart wrenching story of first over coming abuse and then ending up in the foster care system at age 11. The Lucci sisters were eventually split up and spent several years in and out of various foster homes and group homes. While in the system they filled their “black plastic garbage bag” multiple times moving from one place to the next. Many times the few things they owned were lost, stolen or just left behind.

Their strength shines through in the video where viewers will find themselves rooting for them when they defy all odds and not only graduate from high school but go onto college.

Below is a link to the “Straight Outta Beverly Hills” video:

The average foster child moves an average of seven times before the age of 18.When a social worker arrives to pick up a foster child to move them to a new home; they bring a black, plastic garbage bag for the child to put his or her possessions in. In May during National Foster Care Awareness Month the Lucci Quadruplets will be launching their non-profit foundation called Case of Love. Their mission is to provide children entering foster care with a duffel bag containing brand new belongings to help ease their transition into foster care.

Recognition day – recognising the unsung heroes in Doncaster who ‘do the right thing’ as citizens. Organised by Doncaster resident Shane Bratby, founder of Disabledentrepreneurs.co.uk. NatWest provided £3,000 of funding to support Shane and enable 50+ guest sell out for his first event, held at the iconic Mansion House in the town.

Over 50 local unsung heroes in Doncaster have been recognised by local Entrepreneur Shane Bratby at his inaugural Recognition Day awards. Taking place at the iconic Mansion House building in the centre of Doncaster on 20th January 2016, the event was set up to recognise citizens who ‘do the right thing’ to support others and go the extra mile. The event was made possible by NatWest stepping forward to be the first headline sponsor.

Shane Bratby, a 31 year old Doncaster resident who suffers from Fredrichs Ataxia, was inspired to create this event after a recent stay in hospital. It was during this stay where staff went above and beyond to care for him and save his life. Shane said ‘We need an event like this. When you give gratification it is the best feeling in the world.’

Of the invited guests, 3 took away the top prizes on the evening. The Goodwill Charity award recognised the work done by SSAFA which is an armed forces charity supporting ex-servicemen and women. Legacy Church, an organisation who support local vulnerable students and provide gifts for the children’s ward at Doncaster Royal Infirmary, won the Goodwill Business Award.

Finally, Tony Steppeck who raised £10,500 for Weston Park Hospital was presented with the Goodwill Citizen award.

The awards were presented by Civic Mayor David Nevett and Deputy Civic Mayoress Kathleen Nevett.

Shane Bratby, Founder of Recognition Day, went on to say ‘By sponsoring and believing in this event it shows that NatWest has a heart and sets a tremendous example. The bank has increased their face by showing love and commitment towards those who do good across the UK.’

In attendance on the evening was local NatWest Branch Manager, Fiona Wordsworth who said of the event ‘A humbling experience to see people from all walks of life, taking their time and own money to help others not so fortunate. We at Doncaster Branch are proud of what we do within the local community and this evening has inspired us to think about how we could host a similar event.’

Peter Allish, National Enterprise Manager for NatWest, said ‘At NatWest we recognise our commitment to the society we operate in. We are pleased to have been able to assist Shane and support Recognition Day to get started. We hope to see this innovative and inspirational event grow from strength to strength.’

Companies from all over the globe struggle to get qualified prospects. This can make it difficult to grow a business. Match Pro Media specializes in lead generation. They recently formed a joint venture with a company that provides access to more than 100,000 daily online registrations. These registrations are real time and procured across a wide array of verticals.

The real time opt-in leads ensure that the prospects are fresh and ready to engage when companies obtain them. Some of the verticals that the marketing firm specializes in include home services, merchant cash advance, solar, real estate, mortgages, education, debt management, attorneys, and more.

The new joint venture is going to make an immediate impact on Match Pro Media’s ability to provide more leads to the companies that they work with. “We are committed to providing more qualified leads, across more verticals and ensuring that those leads receive full monetization over the lifetime of the lead. Our goal is to ensure that leads are fresh, qualified and likely to engage. This new venture immediately expands our prospect reach and allows us to increase volumes across our clients without sacrificing quality and conversion rates,” explains David Siegel CEO and Founder of Match Pro Media.

A company of any size has the ability to benefit from Match Pro Media’s diverse product and service offerings.

This ensures that leads can be generated daily and weekly, which provides more opportunities to sell. Once a lead converts to a customer, Match Pro Media also offers a variety of tools that can help to increase monetization.

Companies depend upon Match Pro Media to generate and increase the number of sales that they make. While there may be landing pages in place, Match Pro Media offers incremental traffic leading to increased revenue and software solutions to ensure a higher ROI.

Los Angeles, CA – A new website media based company called KendamaGuide.com has announced its official launch into the fast growing kendama toy space. A Kendama is a traditional Japanese toy made from wood that both children and adults can use to improve hand eye coordination and impress friends with intricate juggling tricks and shows. The website is promising to become the #1 resource on the internet when it comes to producing content around this growing and addictive trend.

“When people hear kendama, they are curious. They ask, well, what is it?”  said John Fitzpatrick, the owner and operator of KendamaGuide.com as well as the main content publisher for the new website. “What myself and my team want to do, what we envision that is, is an entire website that can become a huge hit with people that want to know about kendama. There is a lot of variation in the toys, and even more variation in how you can play it and what you can do with it. The thing I like about it most is that it brings people together for fun without the need of a television screen or some tablet. People can just have old fashioned fun and it helps their brains too by improving their hand eye coordination dramatically.”

Today the website has finally launched for the public to view after months of preparation. The website will be hosted on worpdress, a friendly content management system that has dominated the internet as the preferred #1 choice for most internet marketers, content publishers and digital based entrepreneurs. The site will be publishing various media, from blog posts to buying guides as well as a deals section to help enthusiasts find the kendama that is right for them at the best possible price.

Kendama guide aims to make choosing a kendama easier by regularly reviewing the latest kendama on the market so that both children and adults can quickly decide which kendama is right for them without needing hours of research.

The website is still currently in the process of positioning itself as the authority on this subject matter but has made great strides already with its current content that it is using to launch the website. More content will be added on a regular basis for both visitors who want to read more about kendama, as well as to aid them in being in Google searches that will rank them highly on the world acclaimed search engine.

All State Concrete Cutting Offers Tough Concrete Jobs Service

AllStates Concrete Cutting on the Benefits of Union Labor

Based in Sioux falls, SD, AllStates Concrete Cutting offers decades of experience in concrete cutting and core drilling to construction contractors that know what it means to get the job done right. It isn’t enough to go in with a focus on time management although that is important, but exceeding industry standards should be a high priority no matter how large or small the job. As an employer proud of the fact that each of their workers is an active member of their respective unions and OSHA certified as well, they explain why it is so important to put union members to work on each and every job they sub-contract.

What Unions Have to Offer

According to the General Manager of All-States Concrete-Cutting, “Unions are highly misunderstood in today’s world. What most people know about unions is that they are there to protect the rights of their members. While that is true, unions serve another purpose that is highly misunderstood in today’s ‘right to work’ culture. In order to work your way up through a union from an apprentice to a master classification, a person must meet with very strict requirements.”

He goes on to explain that, “Not only is on-the-job hands-on experience necessary but actual job-related education is mandatory as well. This is why we believe in hiring union workers because they are required to know their trades inside and out before qualifying for higher pay grades. It’s something they work for very hard and should be rewarded for when it’s time to collect their pay.”

Higher Pay Is Worth the Cost

Too many employers today feel that they will increase their ROI by cutting back on wages. It is no secret that union workers can literally demand a higher rate of pay but what many people don’t realize is that along with those higher wages comes a much higher level of expertise and experience. These are the workers who actually tend to take their jobs seriously as a trade and will excel in their craft.

Not only do they need to show up on the job each and every day on time and prepared to work but they must demonstrate that they are learning their trade and keeping up with innovations within their chosen field. When asked if union workers have the right to demand higher pay, the GM replies with a great deal of emphasis, “Absolutely! We are willing to pay for what we get and when it comes to being a union member, you get a whole lot more.”

More Benefits, Less Responsibility

Even though AllStatesConcreteCutting.com recognize the benefits of employing union tradesmen, they don’t deny that non-union workers can also be a benefit to an employer. However, much more responsibility falls on the employer to make sure they are certified to handle their jobs and continuing to qualify each time their license comes due for renewal. As members of a union those things are monitored by the union to which they belong, saving the employer a great deal of time and effort.

When asked if they ever intend to employ non-union employees, the GM is emphatic in saying it just wouldn’t be a wise move on their part. By hiring only active union members they are ensuring the cream of the crop on each and every job they sub-contract and that’s just the way they like it.

Geddes & Company, P.C. Updates Website With New Blog Section

Geddes & Company, PC – Fairfax, VA Accounting Firm
Geddes & Company, P.C., is announcing the launch of their new online blog, tailored toward helping businesses and families with their tax related and financial issues.

Fairfax, Virginia – March 14, 2016 – Fairfax accounting firm, Geddes & Company, P.C. will begin offering new, substantial online resources to their clients in the Fairfax, Virginia via the launch of a new accounting and financial planning blog. The new blog will focus on the most common concerns a Fairfax account is approached with by clients, catering to both small and medium-sized businesses, as well as individuals and families.

The initial focus of the blog will be on the upcoming 2016 tax season, which is rapidly approaching. Federal and state income tax filings will be due by April 15th this year, which gives many families and business owners little time to navigate the complex world of tax regulations, and simultaneously consider all possible credits and deductions they may qualify for.

In order to aid in the tax filing process, Geddes & Company P.C. has plans to add numerous blog entries this month, allowing for an adequate amount of time for research and planning to occur on the part of the firm’s private citizen and business clientele. The articles will address a variety of pertinent tax topics in anticipation of filing season, including the compilation of documents necessary to file federal and state income taxes, as well as special tax considerations for the families of veterans and active duty service members, and possible tax deductions and credits available to small business owners.

The utility of these resources cannot be overstated, as many individuals and business owners alike approach tax season uninformed, intimidated, or even confused about complex legal jargon and forms which saturate tax policy. Ultimately, Fairfax account Gerald Geddes hopes that this new blog will shed some light on confusing tax issues and help consumers to make well-informed decisions.

About Geddes & Company, PC :

Geddes & Company, P.C. has been serving residents and businesses of Northern Virginia for over 25 years. The firm’s reputation of excellence in the areas of personal tax services, business tax services and accounting matters continues to become stronger each year.

Tier4 Mattress Releases New Website

Tier4 Mattress – Washington, DC Mattress Store
Retail mattress outlet, Tier4 Mattress has released a new informational website that offers online consumers information on mattress brands, types of mattresses and content surrounding sleep/sleep issues.

Washington, District of Columbia – March 14, 2016 – Tier4 Mattress, one of the premier mattress stores in Washington D.C. has released a new organizational website. The aesthetically pleasing website is easy on the eyes and offers online consumers a faster than average load speed which makes researching mattresses online easier than ever. The dc mattress store created the website in an effort to provide more useful information on buying a mattress in Washington D.C., Northern Virginia and Maryland.

Buying a mattress online or in-person is not an easy task for consumers. This is because of the widespread confusion on what mattress types and brands are the highest quality and best investment for consumers. One central idea that the Tier4 website highlights is that name brand mattress manufacturers oftentimes create one mattress model and then license this model to hundreds of different mattress retail stores using different names. This makes comparison shopping virtually impossible for consumers. Tier4 mattress helps eliminate this confusion by focusing on providing information on the mattress manufacturer, in addition to the model. By reviewing a company’s strengths over time, consumers can better gauge what type of mattress a company produces best, helping to narrow down their selection when it comes time to buy a new mattress.

Additional disinformation about the mattress industry is how best to determine the actual dollar value of a specific mattress. This is again due to the widespread distribution of similar mattress models with different names being provided exclusively to certain name brand retailers. Typically, a unique mattress model has a very short life line in retail stores. Many mattresses are featured for less than a year before they are replaced with a newer model. Stores such as Tier4 mattress are able to offer these recently retired models at a far reduced price. This means that consumers will not be paying any inflated costs that accompany shopping at certain mattress stores.

About Tier4 Mattress:

Tier4 Mattress offers name brand, luxury mattresses at a reduced price. Inventory includes name-brand, tier 4 luxury prices at an appealing discounted price.

Georgia’s Statesboro Police Department Illegally Seizes Spaulding’s Life Savings

Statesboro Police Officials filed an Ex Parte Order to seize money from an American citizen’s bank account without Due Process.

Coleman, Florida – March 14, 2016 – Once again we are confronted with a case of the Government trampling on the rights of its citizens. In this case, Asha Kani Spaulding, a Georgia resident at the time of this illegal funds seizure, had the money in her account stolen by the underhanded tactics of the Statesboro Police Department. Det. Sgt. James Winskey, filed an Ex Parte Order on Geo-Vista Credit Union and swiped out the $61,750.71 that was in her account. An Ex Parte Order is a one-sided Order that means the opposing party was not heard or able to defend themselves. Officer Winskey, did not follow the new law “The Georgia Uniform Civil Forfeiture Procedures Act”.

Officer Winskey stated in his notice of claim that he investigated the case working with the IRS, however he admits to doing a one day investigation. This one day investigation was done almost 1 year after Spaulding’s case was closed. Spaulding was not served the “Process of Service” (which is needed to give the court jurisdiction). No lien was ever filed, no complaint from the State of Georgia, was ever filed. Judge John Turner was led to believe the money was proceeds of drug activity. The question is when an officer of the court shows this much blatant disregard for the law for how can he be trusted to serve and protect others? How many times has officer James Winskey, robbed before with his magic tricks, was there a conspiracy?

What is going on here is a violation of Asha’s Constitutional Right of Due Process. Also, the documents filed in the case indicate that they were holding Asha to the same standards of an attorney, another civil rights violation. This is how the government operates. Fox News has been reporting about the Feds seizing funds from small businesses who operate with a lot of cash, and then not giving it back. Small business owners, as well as private citizens like Asha, do not have funds to fight the government.

Fortunately for Asha, she does not stand alone, nor is she the type of person that will take this sitting down. A small cadre of support (winincourtnow.com) has materialized to help and assist Asha to expose these thieves in the Statesboro Police Department. Just because they are Police Officials does not mean that they are above the law. There are special Federal Statutes available to deal with them, and they have a surprise heading their way. Spaulding will be filing her “Restraining Order/Injunction” and her “Motion to Vacate” the judges unlawful order seizing her life savings.

Tear-away performance shirt helps athletes maintain safe body temperature in fluctuating outdoor weather.

CHICAGO, Illinois – March 14, 2016 – The Tearadactyl Running Performance Shirt is the perfect piece to wear while engaging in physical activity in fluctuating outdoor conditions. The clothing line has a patent-pending quick release zipper that tears away the sleeves with ease. It helps athletes maintain their core body temperature within a safe range while outside. Until now, the project has been entirely self-funded. The company is ready to take this idea to the next level. They launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise $10,000 by April 7, 2016 to make TearadactyleRunning available to everyone. 

Athletes who train outdoors understand how quickly the body warms up after a few minutes of physical activity. However, there lacks a solution in the market that allows an athlete to get rid of clothing layers without it becoming a hassle. This is why the Tearadactyl is so amazing! The shirt’s design enables the wearer to remove the sleeves easily in a matter of seconds. There’s a pouch in the back of the shirt to store the sleeves. It also has a pocket to store an MP3 player or smartphone so runners can listen to music without worrying about their device falling out.

 

Tearadactyl Running hopes to make this shirt available to every runner or hiker to enhance their outdoor experience. Click here to make a contribution to help the project become a reality. Backers can choose from a number of attractive rewards. Perks will be delivered by May 2016.

Viewers are encouraged to participate in the bizarre storytelling as two space explorers try to figure out what’s happening to their planet as odd, organic growths begin to appear everywhere. They aren’t sure if it’s an invasion from another planet or is it coming from their own planet! Join Mahoney on an epic journey filled with unexpected twists and turns.

 

“John Mahoney’s Zentropa is a surrealist space journey with an impeccable art style that is reminiscent of the glory days of Heavy Metal magazine.”
 ~ Steve Wang, Creature Creator – The Predator, Gremlins 2, The Devil’s Advocate. 

Once the campaign ends, Mahoney will create a website so that people from different parts of the world can share their personal story of what they think “Zentropa” means.

How to Eliminate Market Risk without Giving Up Returns

Aspen Creek Asset Management Inc. Selected for 2015 Best of Colorado Springs Award in the Financial Management category by Colorado Springs Award Program.

With the recent stock market correction, many investors have been painfully reminded of the risks they are taking in order to try to get healthy returns over the long term.  That’s the bad news.  The good news is that they may not have to take any market risks and still be able to outperform the market long term.

There is an asset class that was created in the 1980s called guaranteed indexed accounts (GIAs), which are part of the growing list of “structured products”.  A structured product is one in which different assets are merged into one asset, thus providing the benefits of multiple asset classes in one asset.

GIAs are offered by both banks and insurance companies.  The first GIA was created by JP Morgan Chase in the 1980s and was called an indexed CD (ICD).  An ICD provides the safety of a CD with the upside potential of various markets (stocks, bonds and commodities).  ICDs continue to be offered today by the largest banks, though usually not at the retail level.  The one downside to ICDs are that they are not tax efficient.

Two other types of GIAs are offered by life insurance companies and are known as fixed indexed annuities (FIA) and indexed universal life (IUL).

FIAs offer the safety of A-rated life insurance companies and the contractual guarantees of a fixed annuity, and they provide the upside potential of various markets (stocks and bonds).  They have the additional benefit of offering tax-deferred gains.

IUL also offers the safety of A-rated life insurance companies and the contractual guarantees of fixed universal life insurance, and it provides the upside potential of various markets (stocks, bonds, real estate and commodities).  IUL also offers the potential for all gains to be tax free.  What many investors are surprised to learn about IUL, is that it can be structured to be 100% liquid (with no surrender charges), the cost of the death benefit can be less than the cost of mutual funds, and the historical return for some of the indices (plural of index) has been higher than the underlying market indices—all with no market risk and no taxes.  There is no perfect asset, but this may be the ultimate asset.

GIAs allow investors to “have their cake and eat it too”—market-linked returns without market risk.  That is good news at a time many investors are only hearing bad news.  Look at it this way:  you insure your house, cars and other assets—maybe it’s time to insure some of your portfolio with guaranteed indexed accounts.

Please note this article is not to be considered financial advice, but rather financial education in order to help empower you to make more-informed decisions leading to increased peace of mind.
