Children’s Ministry Online | The Freedom Girls
Generation With a Name, LLC is a premier provider of The Freedom Girls, a for-profit ministry that provides a range of discipleship tools that instill the importance of Christian faith in children.

Boerne, Texas – September 2, 2015 – Generation with a Name, LLC was created for the sole purpose of illustrating Jesus Christ to young boys and girls in their contemporary settings. They provide discipleship tools that equip parents, grandparents and mentors for the task of teaching the Word of God to their children. The source of these discipleship tools is a Biblical saint whose name is Ruth from the Old Testament Book of Ruth. Ruth’s story with a supporting cast of Naomi and Boaz exemplify the promises and Truth contained in the Word of God.

The couple came up with a concept of wholesome, 18-inch dolls called The Freedom Girls. Ruth is one of them based on the Old Testament Book of Ruth. She is accompanied by a 112-page book titled The Story of Ruth Through a Child’s Eyes. This is an excellent tool Christian parents can provide to teach young girls the sovereignty and righteousness of God. Designed for 6- to 13-year-old girls the book and doll is an exceptional tool that teach the attributes of God.

“Our current culture masquerades truth for a lie. The only way to counteract what our culture teaches is to believe in a different standard and that standard is Jesus Christ,” notes Jackie Liberto

Dan Liberto states, “Biblical Literacy is an issue today. This ministry, through the foundation of holy scripture, and the use of multi-media services will create opportunities for children, parents and friends to interact with one another in the name of Jesus Christ and receive the promised blessings.”

The company has a unique 7th Seed program that promotes discipleship outside of your own family. With every 6 Ruth Experience purchase a Ruth Doll and book, a 7th Ruth Experience will be donated to a select children’s ministry, of your choice, to plant a 7th Seed.

The company also holds speaking engagements and has spoken at the Steadfast Men’s Retreat and has hosted parenting seminars. The Biblical Ruth Doll and the accompanying story, “The Story of Ruth Through a Child’s Eyes” provides an opportunity for parents to insert discipleship and Biblical teaching into your child’s play time.

Wrike Enterprise Introduces Project Templates for Salesforce

0
0
Wrike Enterprise users can now link project templates in Wrike to Salesforce providing a menu of projects for sales reps to choose from.

Wrike, the work management platform for high-performance teams, today launched Salesforce project templates for Wrike Enterprise to help improve collaboration between sales and cross-functional teams. The templates help keep track of all the work being done for customers across industries like legal, marketing, and professional services that do not work in Salesforce.

How it works:

Wrike Enterprise users can now link project templates in Wrike to Salesforce providing a menu of projects for sales reps to choose from. For example, users can create a template for post-sale implementations and when account executives close new deals, they can select the implementation package from a menu in Salesforce. When they do, the user’s implementation team will immediately see a new project in Wrike and get notifications so they can start work right way. Watch this short video to see it in action.

Project templates are great for teams that work frequently with sales. Instead of starting every project from scratch, Wrike will automatically create the project and schedule the tasks based on when the work needs to start or finish. Here are some common examples of how others are using templates:

Professional Services – Implementation teams with several standard packages can create templates for each of them so the sales team can quickly pick the right template after closing a deal.

Legal review – Create a template for legal reviews so legal teams can keep comments, discussions, and versions together in Wrike and keep it linked to the customer record in Salesforce.

Demo requests – Make it easy for sales teams to schedule a sales engineer for a demo by creating demo templates.

Marketing support – Create templates for the different types of marketing materials provided to customers (emails, hand-outs, manuals, etc.) and keep track of the support provided.

The Wrike Salesforce integration is available for all Wrike Enterprise accounts. Wrike Enterprise customers can install the integration from the apps and integration page. A Salesforce Administrator will need to install the integration. Once installed, linking templates to Salesforce only takes a minute. Click here for instructions on how to setup templates in Salesforce.

Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Mountain View, Wrike is a SaaS based work platform with over 9,000 organizations using its paid product. It has raised a total of $26 million from Bain Capital Ventures, Scale Venture Partners, DCM Ventures and TMT.

International partnership with leading Latin font companies, Monotype and Commercial Type enables offering of combined font sets

TOKYO, JAPAN – Sep 2, 2015 – Type Project, Inc. headquartered in Tokyo, Japan today announced the launch of AXIS FitFont enabling detailed adjustment of weight and width. Type Project has partnered with Monotype, the world’s largest font provider headquartered in Massachusetts, USA and Commercial Type, a quality custom font maker headquartered in New York, USA, to provide combined font sets with their Latin fonts.

FitFont is Type Project’s unique service to allow use of an onscreen slider bar to toggle font settings before purchase based on the firm’s proprietary technologies. FitFont enables AXIS Font, one of Type Project’s popular retail fonts, to offer a wider range of expressive possibilities as AXIS FitFont. The expanded portfolio provides a sans serif typeface empowered with adjustable functions of weight and width, which can be modified from Basic of 100% to Compress of 60%, to meet with diverse tastes and needs. This will accelerate the FitFont momentum initiated by the first product, TP Mincho FitFont launched in April 2015.

Expanded service

AXIS Font is the world’s first font product dedicatedly designed to a bilingual magazine written in Japanese and English. The modern and bright design has been a choice of a number of brands such as SQUARE ENIX and POLA. AXIS FitFont, available as of today, has expanded the font offering to a total of 1,071 typefaces composed of 21 width levels and 51 weights, as opposed to the retail version of AXIS Font, which offers three font widths for a total of 18 typefaces.

The newly signed international partnership enables offering of unified versions of AXIS Font or TP Mincho combined with Latin fonts provided by Monotype and Commercial Type. This is intended to meet the needs of global firms required to use corporate Latin fonts as well as design firms that have created original Latin fonts of their own, achieving a higher expressive potential. As a result, AXIS FitFont can be easily deployed in applications and systems without font merging functions.

Full renewal of FitFont service

Type Project has renewed its online shop so that users can adjust, confirm, and purchase AXIS Font and TP Mincho to fit with popular Latin fonts of Monotype and Commercial Type simply selectable from the FitFont service pull-down menu. The modifications screen allows for free entry of text (within 1,006 basic kanji characters) to determine what the font will look like in actual use.

Isao Suzuki, president of Type Project, says, “We are very pleased to be able to offer fonts that provide consistent design and quality while giving users the ability to make subtle adjustments to kerning through weight and contrast. This solution provides ideal fonts for corporate brands, as well as immediate integration with Latin fonts that have served numerous companies up to now. We believe this service will increase brands’ value.” 

Availability

AXIS FitFont is available as a single font for ¥29,500 from Type Project’s official online shop. Users can select the weight and width they desire before adding the item to their cart.  FitFont is available exclusively as a download. 

Type Project Online shop: https://shop.typeproject.com/en/

Those wishing to combine AXIS Font with Latin fonts from other foundries can contact Type Project via the “inquiry” on online shop page for details or an estimate. Combined fonts require a license for AXIS Font or TP Mincho, a license for the respective Latin font, and fees for the integration (from ¥250,000). The resulting combined font will be delivered in about two months.

* The usage approval by the Latin font maker (designer) is necessary to combine fonts for not listed in the pull-down menu.

Chris Roberts of Monotype, a global sales partner of Type Project, says, “With growing diversity among digital devices and media, we increasingly get inquiries from companies for corporate fonts and branding fonts for specific products. As most of our clients are firms with a global reach, we have more and more projects these days that involve pairing European and Japanese fonts. FitFont is a revolutionary service that met this demand faster than the rest, and we have high expectations about its ability to meet clients’ needs in a speedy fashion.” 

Christian Schwartz, a founding member of Commercial Type, says, “We think FitFont is a very impressive system, and we expect that it will make it much easier for publications and corporations to find the right multilingual typographic voice. We are delighted to be part of this cross-cultural collaboration, with Japanese and Latin-based type designers each concentrating on what they do best.”

About Type Project

To broaden the potential of letters. This is the central motivation behind Type Project. Since its founding in 2001, the company has provided fonts like AXIS and TP Mincho that are intended to serve as new standards. In 2003, AXIS Font Basic received the Good Design Award, and in 2008, the Condensed and Compressed versions of the font received the award. Type Project has also achieved many milestones with corporate fonts for company branding and “city fonts” that have defined various cities’ identities. “Make life more comfortable and richer through letters.” With this guiding principle, Type Project envisions our role as a 21st-century typeface design company presenting the letters that are ideally suited to the information-based society of the future.

Chris Wellington, CEO, Shares New App Connecting All Players in the Food Truck Industry

0

Chris Wellington, CEO of foosye(tm) announces the release of new centralized mobile platform, finally connecting all players in the 2.7 billion dollar food truck industry, allowing increased revenue generation and customer value worldwide.

Chris Wellington, CEO and co-founder of foosye (from the words “food systems”) shares for the first time publicly at the American Underground workplace in Durham, NC how food truck owners, event planners, vendors, foodies, and other key players that comprise the food truck industry ecosystem can collaborate, share, and partner to revolutionize the industry, grow revenues, and increase customer value.

Foosye’s alpha product app, tested in 9 major markets with more than 8000 food trucks on the platform, serves both the food truck owner seeking profitable events and the event planner looking for food trucks to serve their guests.

The idea for starting foosye came to Ray Chow, foosye Co-founder and CFO (Chief Food Truck Officer), when personally challenged in finding a commissary for his own food truck business. “For the food truck owner, finding a commissary is very difficult and is a requirement for every food truck on the road. As we discussed other challenges of the business, we realized we had the expertise to streamline the food truck industry by creating a central data hub. Today food truck owners find business opportunities through regional and sporadic communication via web sites, networking, or social media,” Chow continued. “The level of the success of the food truck owner is directly dependent upon their ability to find the right venues and be found by the public.”

Up until now, most food truck owners have used the Drive, Park & Pray(tm) method of business operations, finding events via scattered methods, driving to the venue and praying that enough hungry foodies show up to make his investment of time and money worthwhile. Foosye allows the food truck owner to accurately and consistently predict attendance and preparation required for events, thus becoming more profitable. With the foosye app, food truck owners can focus on providing a hot meal conveniently, quickly, and reasonably priced, greatly improving their business success.

The foosye app manages scheduling, event marketing, and notifications, and will scale to include maintenance systems, ordering, and various additional operational efficiencies for the food truck owner – the secondary tasks around running a food truck business.

For the event planner looking for reliable food trucks for events, the platform provides real-time food truck data and availability for more efficient methods of hiring a food truck. The platform will also help determine the correct number of food trucks and types of truck for their event without under or over booking. One click event invitations can be provided for food trucks of interest with one click acceptance of event invitations along with fee payments. This entire process can be reduced to minutes where normally would take multiple days.

“We are excited about the results of the alpha test of foosye’s first product and our patent for the platform,” stated Chris Wellington, CEO and Co-founder. “We have a team of 15 and 3 interns plus our food truck advisory board all in alignment with our vision to revolutionize the multi-billion dollar food truck industry.” The foosye platform is a safe, secure, web-based ecosystem and is a robust, comprehensive business management tool which provides food truck owners simple, easy to understand data to make the best decisions for their business.

During this presentation Wellington asked for help with social media by sending foosye a food truck selfie, jumpstarting their Instagram presence and showing food truck love. The debut presentation about foosye was captured on video and can be viewed here

The next funding round for foosye is now in process. To find out more about investing in this phenomenal opportunity, contact Chris Wellington at Chris.Wellington@foosye.com

“American Underground (AU) is a space for entrepreneurs, startups, innovators and investors. Collaborative teams build companies of the future in digital products, technology and healthcare.” At AU entrepreneurs can present to their peers, investors, advisors and the general public to received feedback and support.

The Most Common Signs That You Need a Slab Leak Repair

0
0
A slab leak is caused by a number of different sources such as a broken or leaky sewer pipe, a broken storm pipe, a leaking water or drainage pipe, a disconnected rain water leader, groundwater, and elevated water tables.
Every house is built on a foundation and with age comes the dreaded foundation crack and slab leak. Graham Maintenance Plumbing Corp. offers a high quality slab leak repair service that is built upon many years of experience in the plumbing industry.

Drain Leaks vs. Water Pipe Leaks

Storm or sewage pipes are often located beneath a concrete slab and can fail due to improper bedding or support or long term corrosion. Typically the discharge will drain away through the granular fill that forms the base of the slab, but over time the discharge can build up, and with pressure, it can find ways through the slab. When this happens, you will need to hire a professional plumbing service to perform a slab leak repair.

Improperly installed storm sewers can inject large amounts of water in a short period of time, faster than the water can drain away. This causes pressure to build up and forces water up through the slab, which can lead to extensive damage if ignored for too long. Generally it is not good practice for water supply pipes to be located beneath the slab. Over time they can fail, leading  the pressure to erode the sub base and can lead to slab failure or even worse, a sinkhole. A simple slab leak repair may be expensive upfront, but it will save you a lot of money and will prevent your house from suffering irreparable damages.

Ground water is normally drained away by weeping tiles. Should the weeping tile system get plugged or fail, the water will build up around the basement and as the pressure builds up, the water is forced up through the slab. When houses are built on clay, the excavation for the basement forms a clay bathtub that will retain water around the basement unless it is drained away with an adequate weeping system. In these situations, the walls should be waterproofed and a dam installed between the walls and the slab on grade to prevent leaks at this junction.

A slab leak can be caused by a leaky water or sewage pipe that has been run under the slab of your house. However if your house has a basement, it’s rare for a pressurized line to be run below the slab. Still, it could happen, and a slab leak repair is something that you will need to consider eventually. The problem with a drainage leak is that it so much harder to detect. Since the pipe isn’t pressurized, the leak takes longer to wash away dirt and sand that is trapped under the slab. The leak may go undetected until it is too late.

Common Signs That Your Slab Is Leaking

Typical signs of leakage include your floor cracking and leaking water as the water tries to find the path of least resistance. This will take far longer to happen with a leaky drain because the water leaking out isn’t pressurized. If you have a drain leak, your water bill and meter won’t indicate that there is a potential problem. This is one of the most dangerous types of slab leak as it is difficult to detect until it’s too late. Once detected, a slab leak repair will be essential.

Other typical signs that your slab is leaking include warmer tiles, suggesting that water is building up underneath, an increase in your gas or water bill, the unusual sound of running water, or if your water heater is constantly running (hot water leaks only).

If you suspect a leak, turn off your water and check your water meter. If your water meter dial still spins, you probably have a slab leak. Next, turn off the hot water. If the dial stops spinning then it’s the hot water pipe that’s leaking. If you detect that you have a slab leak, call a professional plumber for an inspection, they will be able to tell you whether or not you need a slab leak repair.

Understand Your Options

When it comes to slab leak repair a ton of factors come into play, such as where the leak is located, how the rest of your house’s plumbing is setup, and whether or not the concrete above the leak is cracked. There are three options recognized by insurance companies. It’s important that you not only pick the one that’s best for you, but one that your insurance is willing to cover.

Graham Maintenance Plumbing Corp. offers a detailed slab leak repair service to clients located in Long Beach, California. If you are in need of a slab leak repair service, please feel free to contact us today through our website. We would be more than happy to offer you a comprehensive quote on a slab leak repair or to investigate any potential water leaks that your house may have.

The 1960s, Drugs and the Birth of the Free Clinic Movement

An addiction treatment category luminary, Dr. David E. Smith is the consulting physician at North Bay Recovery Center. He is a Fellow and Past President of the American Society of Addiction Medicine, Past President of the California Society of Addiction Medicine, Past Medical Director for the California State Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs, and Past Medical Director for the California Collaborative Center for Substance Abuse Policy Research.
Dr. Smith chronicles the rise of the Free Clinic movement that sprung from rampant substance abuse in the Haight Ashbury district of San Francisco during the Summer of Love in 1967.

An addiction treatment category luminary, Dr. David E. Smith is the consulting physician at North Bay Recovery Center. He is a Fellow and Past President of the American Society of Addiction Medicine, Past President of the California Society of Addiction Medicine, Past Medical Director for the California State Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs, and Past Medical Director for the California Collaborative Center for Substance Abuse Policy Research. Dr. Smith is the original Founder of the Haight Ashbury Free Clinics of San Francisco and has been honored as one of the “Best Doctors in America”. Dr. Smith is also the Founder and Publisher of The Journal of Psychoactive Drugs and co-editor of The International Addiction Infoline Newsletter. In addition, he has authored or co-authored 26 books, written over 340 journal articles, edited 28 journals, and has been the technical consultant for 28 drug abuse-related films.

Inspired by Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters described in Tom Wolfe’s “The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test”, and their house band, The Grateful Dead, all fueled by “Owsley Acid” synthesized in the San Francisco Bay Area, large numbers of young people flocked to the Haight Ashbury with a philosophy of “Better Living through Chemistry”. Many now well-known musicians lived in the Haight Ashbury, such as The Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, The Jefferson Airplane, Country Joe McDonald and members of Crosby, Stills and Nash. This philosophy peaked in the 1967 media frenzy with the Summer of Love, which generated world-wide attention (Brokaw, 2007).

What changed? Was it “Turn on, Tune in, & Dropout” as Timothy Leary stated with the beginning of the psychedelic drug revolution, or “Turn on, Boot up, Jack In” as Steve Jobs described the beginning of the personal computer revolution (Isaacson, 2011)? Or did the dream become a nightmare with the beginning of the speed epidemic which destroyed the Haight Ashbury in 1968 and continues to devastate both the Central Valley and rural communities across the country (Edwards, 2011; Owen, 2007a, 2007b; Smith, 1969b; Smith & Luce, 1971)?

Many of those using drugs lost or saw a decline in their capacity for taking care of themselves as the summer of 1967 drew to a close. Drug use quickly became drug abuse. The Summer of Love all too soon disintegrated into a dark period characterized by sexual predators and dealers of more toxic drugs like amphetamines. Like gravity, what goes up must come down; escapism is only temporary and reality is permanent. Some soldiers returning from Vietnam were addicted to heroin because it was so easy to get overseas and mitigated the horrors of the war they were fighting. They had passed through the neighborhood on their way to Vietnam and having found it attractive with the availability of sex and drugs, they returned.

The Haight Ashbury neighborhood went into a severe decline. Property values plunged, and most of the storefronts on Haight Street were boarded up until the mid-70s. People were afraid to walk the street.

The history of this turbulent period is still being written. In San Francisco and the Santa Clara Valley during the late 1960s, various culture currents flowed together. There was the nascent hacker subculture along with quasi-academics researching the effects of LSD on expanding human potential, and Ken Kesey, whose Merry Pranksters celebrated LSD with music and light shows featuring the band that became known as the Grateful Dead. In the Haight Ashbury, the hippie movement was in full swing, and in Berkeley, there was the anti-war free speech movement. This fusion of flower power and processor power prompted Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Computer and a product of the psychedelic 1960s, to comment, “There was something going on, the best music with the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Joan Baez and all the integrated circuit.”(Isaacson, 2011).

Experimentation with and use of drugs became more acceptable to a wider, more middle-class segment of the population, whereas earlier drug use – other than alcohol and nicotine – was perceived as having criminal associations. People today are more willing to experiment with drugs than they were previously. Certainly marijuana is more tolerated by more of society. There’s increasing acknowledgement that drugs like LSD enhance creativity and the ability to conjure abstract relationships, and that their use actually enhanced development of the Internet. The drug culture is well documented in many biographies. Drugs opened “doors of perception” but abuse slammed them shut.

The people who invented the 21st Century digital revolution were pot-smoking, acid-dropping, sandal-wearing, long-haired hippies from the West Coast. Like Steve Jobs, they were influenced by Kesey and Stewart Brand of the Whole Earth Catalog and saw things differently, Together they produced the Trips Festival in 1966, creating a sound and light presentation completely unlike anything attendees had ever experienced – especially after they’d ingested the LSD-spiked vats of Kool-Aid freely offered to them. Most of the hippie generation, on the other hand, scorned computers as the embodiment of centralized control, but a tiny contingent, later called the hackers, embraced them and set about transforming them into tools of liberation (Isaacson, 2011).

One of the many social movements that came out of that psychedelic era was the Free Clinic Movement, beginning with the founding of the Haight Ashbury Free Medical Clinic on June 7, 1967 during the peak of the Summer of Love. Founded on the philosophy that “healthcare is a right, not a privilege”, its organizers were motivated by the same liberation and civil rights principles as the other progressive, counter-establishment movements of the time. The Clinic was also a response to the growing drug epidemic, which began with pot and LSD, then devolved to speed, which today continues to devastate the San Joaquin Valley and heroin abuse. Today at North Bay Recovery Center we’re seeing a rise in patients misusing prescription opioids such as Oxycontin. Part of the original Clinic philosophy was that addiction is a disease and the addict deserves the right to treatment. This was the beginning of the medical specialty of Addiction Medicine, which is now a Board Certified specialty, and the founding of the Journal of Psychoactive Drugs, the oldest scientific addiction journal in the United States.
