Easy to use authoring tool to collect, store, organize and publish information.  

London. 23 June 2009. - vetafab Software is releasing a new version of it's Windows application lexiCan. According to the developer, the upgrade improves productivity and collaboration. Individuals and teams use lexiCan to manage information and knowledge for projects, in business management, research and idea gathering. The developer is also introducing a new read only client lexiCan Reader, which allows users to publish content such as guides, manuals, references, support data bases, knowledge bases within a network with one click, making publishing as easy as editing. The software remains simple, no special training is required.

Similar to a personal Wikipedia, lexiCan allows users to build articles using texts, pictures, tables, links to websites and files. Using the title as a reference, articles can be accessed in seconds even in voluminous collections, overcoming the daily burden of clicking through folder hierarchies as done in Windows Explorer. Unlike Wikipedia, lexiCan purely works as a desktop application based on Microsoft .NET framework, enabling user convenience, such as setting links per drag and drop or dropping emails from Outlook into a description. lexiCan features full text search that includes embedded files. The developer points at several other intuitive retrieval features, like an automated view on pictures, embedded files and tags. Articles can have multiple tags which lexiCan displays as a list or clout. The article tree can be structured in the application's Outline section.

Internet specialist ECCE TERRAM exhibits ground breaking innovative software solutions at PMA in Las Vegas – Booth # Q176-4

Oldenburg, Germany. February 13, 2009. - ECCE TERRAM – the innovator and provider of solutions for the digital photo market – will be showcasing its expanded software solution for photo laboratories in the area of ordering programs at the PMA 2009; Along with the 2.0 version of the “iPhone Photo Order Client,” the first Offline Client solution for PC with multi-touch capability is being presented among other things. The company thus again raises the claim of presenting technically sophisticated and innovative solutions.

In many laboratories, online photo orders in which digital images are printed on traditional photographic paper exceeded the volume of analogue photos in 2008. Digital image processing continues to be a vigorously growing industry. Numbers from the 2008 Holiday Season retail trade in many places show that the economic crisis ihas n no way dampened the pleasure provided by digital images. Consumers’ desire for unique moments or very personal photo gifts remains strong. Very few software developers have the experience and knowledge to create a complete solution – from consumer to production, for wholesale laboratories and photo services in the online and in-store market. ECCE TERRAM’s experience uniquely serves these end to end requirements.

Lean Six Sigma Professionals & Practitioners Sharing Best Practices

The best way to create a calendar with your own photographs

There are three different ways to make your own photo calendar. If you have many photo prints which you prefer to stick onto paper and if you want to add hand drawn images, an old style pre-printed calendar template will still be useful. More versatile and interesting is making photographic calendars through software, and the result looks most professional when printed by a proper photo service. For this you normally have to use the software which the (online) photolab provides (usually) for free at http://fotoinsight.co.uk/calendar

FotoInsight offers wall and desktop calendars. All calendars are printed professionally on 250 gr/m2 paper using Indigo technology (except the Desktop calendar in tin box which is processed on photographic paper) and cost between £4.99 and £16.99 per calendar plus £2.80 delivery (Europa wide, also with seperate delivery address).

Printing-1 is the independent option for photo book calendars for Mac OS and Windows PC users, but no wall calendars. Printing-1 websites includes a kind of photo sharing service, which allows to show the layout to others online prior to a print order: http://www.printing-1.co.uk - Discount: First order £5 off.

Our Family Orphan Communities, Inc, (OFOC) is a nonprofit charity that is designing and developing a self-sustaining, environmentally green, high-tech Community in which street orphans will be raised in families with surrogate parents and grandparents. The children will receive healthcare, family values, education, and job and computer skills to prepare them for their future and the future of their country.  These communities are destined for third-world and developing countries.

Currently OFOC is working with the Vietnam Aid Society for Disabled Children to develop this Community in
Ninh
Binh
Province where the land has been donated for the project. You can see our progress at www.orphancommunities.org.

To assist this cause, Xippee, Incorporated has donated 300 shares of its corporate stock to OFOC.  Xippee, Inc. is a software company that has developed a free internet search tool that makes doing searches on any search engine easier and faster.  Instead of having to type in additional search terms to add or delete from your search criteria, you simply highlight a word in the search options, a small window with + and - will appear, you then click either option and your search will be automatically redone either adding or removing the term you had highlighted.   This is one of the few free software programs to ever receive a five star rating by download.com.

Una aplicación gratuita que FotoInsight lanza hoy en español crea libros de fotografías impresas profesionalmente que pueden diseñarse con completa libertad. Sin experiencia previa pueden los usuarios preservar sus fotografías digitales en libros de fotos individualmente elaborados.

2 de Abril de 2008. – El servicio de impresión de libro de fotos individuales esta desarrollándose rápidamente como unos de los productos de fotografía más demandados y está por rebasar la clásica impresión 10x15 cm como el formato fotográfico más popular. Rara vez se ha desarrollado un nuevo producto de consumo tan veloz: Lo que se inició hace pocos años como una imitación de álbumes tradicional con fotos digitales impresas se ha convertido en un servicio donde cualquier usuario de una cámara digital puede obtener impresionantes libros de fotos que dar gusto ver y enseñar. Hoy, el servicio en línea FotoInsight introduce una revolución en el software de creación de libros de fotografías – un servicio de impresión ahorrador de tiempo que preserva los recuerdos de los mejores momentos a todo color. La aplicación permite a los usuarios nuevos y sin experiencia distribuir sus fotos digitales, extenderlas sobre páginas dobles, mover, recortar a cualquier tamaño, alocar en capas y agregar textos (cualquier fuente TrueType) libremente dentro del libro, sobre la tapa y hasta en el lomo del libro.

I servizi di stampa fotografica digitale online come FotoInsight hanno la soluzione ideale: trasformare una propria fotografia in un regalo di San Valentino destinato ad essere custodito con amore e ricordato per anni.

• FotoInsight aggiunge nuovi prodotti alla sua linea di articoli da regalo fotografici concepiti per esporre e conservare le fotografie più care.

Il portachiavi in cristallo ha la particolarità di essere munito di una luce a LED per illuminare l’immagine incisa.

La tendencia a la individualización de productos continúa y llega a los regalos de San Valentín. Flores y cava no bastan.

Specialist developer ECCE TERRAM is showing at this year’s PMA how setting up a digital photo processing service in store or online is becoming easier with open software modules. ECCE TERRAM is also celebrating a new mile stone with 132 million photo prints being ordered through its middleware software components. These solutions help to improve photo services' independence and negotiation power and provide access to a range of components to cover varying requirements.

Oldenburg Germany and Las Vegas, NV. January 22nd, 2008 – Online photo services converting digital images into traditional photographic paper prints are reaching the volumes of traditional photo labs in the 1990’s. Digital photo processing is a growth industry, but only a few developers have the experience and depth to create complete 'end user to photo lab' software solutions. The specialist Internet software developer ECCE TERRAM will be presenting the latest 'off the shelf', modular software solutions for online photo services, web portals, photo labs and purchasing associations at the international PMA exhibition in Las Vegas in January 2008, including client software and middleware releases currently in preparation.
 
Photo Lab Software Solutions
Together the Photo Lab Software processing components build flexible, state-of-the-art solutions. These range from order processing using online stores, point-of-sale terminals and offline software clients for Windows, Macintosh and Linux using an open protocol connecting to any photo lab or printer. The PTS middleware processes the orders using a central user database, which allows splitting orders to cover production requirements (e.g. mixed orders for standard prints, posters and gift items). Lab plug-ins built the third layer in ECCE TERRAM’s ‘Photo2Lab’ solution. The lab plug-ins currently support for example DPL, Allcop, ORWO, CeWeColor, DWM and Frontline. Increasingly specialists from the growing sector of photo book, calendar and gift item printing, like Ifuse, Snapmania are being supported by ECCE TERRAM.

The project, Ethanol & Orphans, is looking for celebrities who think it is a good idea and who will endorse the project.  The project sponsor is the not-for-profit charity, Our Family Orphan Communities, Inc. 

The Ethanol & Orphans project is currently underway in Vietnam where we will be building a cellulose ethanol refinery and using the profits to build:
 - a Self-sustaining, high-tech, green Community for street orphans where they will be raised in families with surrogate parents and grandparents, given care, skills (job, computer, familiy/life) and supplemental education.
 - a Medical clinic supported by the profits from the refinery so those who cannot afford it can still receive treatment.
 - more care for disabled children (who are still today being born with birth defects from Agent Orange which was used in the war in the 60's and 70's) so they can learn to be self-sufficient even with disabilities.

We are looking for people who care about:
 - improving the environment
 - using less petrochemical fuels
 - helping developing / third world countries to improve
 - street children living barely surviving
 - disabled children who need assistance
 - providing medical/dental care for those who cannot afford it
 - protecting food sources (we will use sugarcane for the refiery, NOT grains)
 - providing education for children, the future leaders of their country
 - and more humanitarian projects

The celebrities will be asked to speak about our project when they can, and to allow us to use thier comments/picture/name in our website and promotion materials.

For complete details about the project, see: http://www.orphancommunities.org
For questions, write to us at: info@orphancommunities.org
 
Please forward this to others who you know will be interested in supporting this project.

The online photo printing service, founded in 2003 offers its customers a £5 discount on its A4 and new XL photo books.

Cambridge, GB. 26 Nov 2007. – During the first four years thousands of digital camera users have had photo calendars printed with FotoInsight. With the popularity of its photo book service, launched in 2005, the online service started to grow rapidly, so that the company is now operating Europe wide. To celebrate it’s success in its fifth year, FotoInsight is giving away £5 discount vouchers on its large (12”x8”) and XL format photo books (12”x12”).

FotoInsight’s Managing Director Klaas Brumann comments: "We think that your large and XL photo books are the most impressive coffee table photo books from own digital images in the UK. FotoInsight is preparing to accept photo book orders for delivery within the UK in time for Christmas up to the 10th of December. For Soft- and Linen Cover photo books FotoInsight states that it will deliver in time for Christmas if ordered by the 12th of December."

Photo books are a personal present, preserving memories for friends, family and one self. Popular for photographs of memorable events like holidays, a party or wedding photo album, an XL or A4 photo book from FotoInsight will keep the images accessible and preserve colourful memories. In a photo book colours still shine when a SIM-card or CD has long oxidized or become incompatible. Dr. Rolf Hollander, CEO of FotoInsight’s production partner and largest photo finisher in Europe: "Quality is our priority. All materials we use are subject to extensive testing and are guaranteed by their manufacturers to last at least 100 years. This guarantee extends to photo printing on real photographic paper as well as to the photo book."

The new Cambridge recruitment start-up IBEX Resources Limited is presenting IBEX Logic, which it claims reduces the cost of the recruitment process. The company deals with vacancies predominantly from Technology companies throughout the United Kingdom

Cambridge. 26 Nov 2007. --"Have you ever stopped to wonder how much recruitment fees are costing your organisation?" asks IBEX's founder David Wood and continues: "For larger corporates this can be hundreds of thousands of pounds; and for the SME marketplace several thousands of pounds per year!"  Whichever way you look at it, recruitment fees are generally a lot of money and impact heavily on the bottom line!

IBEX Resources Limited believe they have the solution!  The idea of a true “value for money” proposition first came to IBEX’s founder, David Wood, a few months back.  “We looked at different ways of providing the ultimate solution for companies who recruit.  After looking at various methodologies, we have settled on what we have called IBEX Logic.”

IBEX Logic is an innovative recruitment process.  The client’s vacancy is discussed at length with an IBEX Consultant, so that he or she has a thorough understanding of the requirements.  That vacancy is then worked on by IBEX for 2 weeks (14 days).  During that 2 week period, a shortlist of candidates is provided to the client for them to make direct contact with the candidates.  David Wood added: "In general, candidates prefer to speak directly to the potential employer, and not go through the recruitment agent. And we believe that the client also prefers this direct approach!"

Les avancées technologiques en matière de résolution d'images numériques permettent à présent une impression en très grand format poster

Paris le 7 novembre 2007. - Le prix d'une cartouche d'encre est probablement avec l'envolée des prix de l'essence ce qui agace le plus le consommateur lambda. Le pas est vite franchi pour que le coût du renouvellement des consommables devienne supérieur au prix initial de l'imprimante. Grand format et haute résolution sont les dénominateurs communs pour vider une cartouche d'encre en un rien de temps dans le cas éventuel ou l'imprimante pourrait imprimer en grand format. Affranchir l'utilisateur d'appareils photo numériques des contraintes de l'impression jet d'encre en grand format est l'un des services professionnels proposés par des laboratoires photo en ligne tels que http://poster.fotoinsight.eu

L'exposition à la lumière, à la chaleur, à l'ozone et à la pollution de l'air entraînent une perte d'éclat des impressions effectuées sur des imprimantes grand public. Une étude récente conduite par la société Wilhelm Imaging Research a conclu que les cartouches recyclées réutilisables produisent fréquemment des photos dont les couleurs se ternissent sensiblement après juste quelques mois. Faire appel à des labos photos professionnels à l'instar de la société FotoInsight qui utilisent du vrai papier photo sur des machines professionnelles grand format permet d'obtenir et de conserver des photos aux couleurs qui semblent beaucoup plus riches et éclatantes que lorsque l'utilisateur manipule lui-même le papier photo avec des doigts qui peuvent parfois transpirer dans des environnements plus ou moins humides.

La selección más extensa de impresión fotográfica sobre papel y regalos en Europa llega a Francia

Cambridge, UK. 3 Mayo 2007 – FotoInsight ha promovido servicios de revelado de fotografía digital en línea y regalos fotográficos a consumidores y negocios en España a través de su servicio online desde Enero del año 2006. Ahora la empresa anuncia el inicio de su servicio en Francés sobre http://fotoinsight.eu. Durante los doce meses pasados el servicio en línea ha expandido vendiendo impresión sobre papel fotográfico, poster, regalos y libros de fotos digitales en 32 países Europeos. El servicio fotográfico de FotoInsight está respaldado por 19 sitios de producción, estratégicamente ubicados en diferentes partes de la Comunidad Europea. Sus clientes en España se benefician del mismo costo bajo de entrega a domicilio independientemente si se piden entrega a su domicilio o a familiares y amigos en otras partes de la U.E..  Comenta el Director General Klaas Brumann: “En Francia el mercado de revelado fotográfico es muy maduro. Algunos de nuestros competidores más cercanos están activos allí y uno se ha fusionado con una empresa Francesa. Nuestro análisis de mercado muestra que los altos estándares de calidad la avanzada tecnología usada por FotoInsight para producir foto álbumes impresos nos va a dar buenas posibilidades en Francia. Pensamos que muchos consumidores Franceses así como muchos negocios apreciarán nuestra capacidad de entregar los productos fotográficos en todos los 32 países Europeos.”

This article picks up where the last one left off. It is the next conceptual excerpt from my research paper (still in progress).

"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."-- Albert Einstein

It is this understanding that stands at the heart of the concepts being developed in my current work. The abstract concepts that are revealed in the Cultural Fusion series have very practical applications for businesses and communities.

On the B2B front, this period has been marked by increased costs for petroleum-based products, fuels, metals, and various building supplies, such as concrete, steel, copper, and zinc. These conditions are likely to persist, applying pressure on the economies of countries. With inflation on the upswing, continued growth spanning multiple sectors is vital to successfully riding out whatever storms the future may have in store. In the previously cited example of the steel and railroad industry, the impact transformed every sector touched by transportation, and what sector was not?

The photo album is dead, long live the photo book. Free photo book software offered by online photographic services makes it easy and economical to create photo books in different formats, sizes and types of binding. Online services offer a range of options for individual lay-outs with own photographs. Professional print on hi-gloss paper provides coffee table style photo books. The latest offering comes from printing-1 and promises an even greater choice of photo book styles for PC and Macintosh users alike.

London, GB. 31. October 2006. – During the past year personal photo books have become one of the most popular photographic products and are about to replace the traditional photo album. Rarely has a product evolved as quickly as the photo book. The different suppliers compete with ever more flexible software for the top spot with the consumer. With the launch of its new Windows and MacOS photo book software printing-1 is claiming to take the concept a step further. According to printing-1 a durable, quality binding process is becoming more important, as increasingly big photo books are being ordered, containing often hundreds of images. The binding process used by printing-1 takes an extra day to prepare, but allows for large photo books with up to 144 pages and space for hundreds of images.

Saarbrücken, Germany - Cyber-Books.de an online-service for interactive publishing objects starts a new commission-program!

Cyber-Books.de invites all interested parties to act as a distribution-partner to build new contacts to customers and promote Cyber-Books.de. Therefore Cyber-Books.de will distribute 10% of these earnings to their distribution-partners.

And these partners won't get their commissions for the first order only but also for all follow-up orders from their recruited customers!

What are cyber-books?

Cyber-books are a new trend on the Internet.

They are virtual realizations of real publishing products such as books, catalogs, magazines, newspapers, etc. They can be browsed in a natural known way just by leafing through for getting a fast and clear overview of the content.

Cyber-books are available as bitmapped and as vectorized versions and rest upon standard PDF-files, single images per page or SWF-files (Flash®). A combination of these options is also possible.

Fields of application

The fields of application for cyber-books are very variable. In most case cyber-books are used as promotion material for real publishing objects. In this case they are perfect previews for the customer and encourage the turnover of these products. Especially our interactive cyber-book catalogs can be perfectly integrated in existing shopping-systems. Additional links to similar PDF-versions of the publications (mostly the first few sites as preview) and to the order-, shop- or subscription-page for the real product can be seen as additional values.

The best results can be reached for objects with a huge picture average. Therefore cyber-books are mostly used as interactive corporate brochures, magazine previews, online catalogs, sedcards for models or portfolios for photographers. With rich media integration they can also been used as show reels for video artists and film studios or game producer. They can be used as image- or product-marketing tools. Also a new trend is the use of cyber-books as a publishing form for PowerPoint® - especially as integrated content in web based presentations.

Saarbrücken, Germany, 13. October 2006 - The Social Business Club has released again a brand new feature to provide its members the possibility to publish video contents in the club.

Main target for this new module was not to start again a new hosting service for videos but to develop an easy to use and user-friendly interface to publish already available videos in the club. "The Internet is overcrowded with video materials and free available hosting services so we haven't had to reinvent the wheel. What we missed was the possibility for business people and companies to promote their own videos to a serious business audience in an easy and effective way. So what would fit that needs better than an international business club." so Alexander Dort, founder and COO of the Social Business Club. "We know that most of our members are already using video contents to promote their businesses, their products and themselves. This is what we want to support with this new function of the club to provide a serious forum for this kind of  media!"

At the moment the video module of the club supports video formats such as mov, wmv, rm, flv, 3gp, mp4 as well as YouTube and Google-videos.
To publish video contents the members have only to know the URL of the video file and parameters like format, size and run length. For YouTube and Google-videos the publisher needs even at least to know the respective videoID.

Further information about this new feature of the Social Business Club can be found at: Social Business Club video.

I progressi compiuti nella risoluzione delle immagini digitali consentono di stampare la maggior parte delle fotografie digitali anche in formato poster. Considerato che la maggior parte delle stampanti inkjet è limitata al formato A4, i laboratori di stampa digitale online consentono di ottenere stampe in formati più grandi e articoli da regalo fotografici.

Cambridge, Regno Unito. 12 ottobre 2006. – Probabilmente, il prezzo delle cartucce di inchiostro per le stampanti di uso domestico è, assieme a quello della benzina, il prezzo che più spesso fa arrabbiare i consumatori. Non ci vuole molto perché il costo delle cartucce di inchiostro di ricambio superi il prezzo pagato per la stampante. Una stampa fotografica di grande formato ad alta risoluzione può prosciugare intere ricariche, ammesso e non concesso che la stampante possa stampare in formati più grandi. Offrire agli utenti di fotocamere digitali la possibilità di svincolarsi dalle limitazioni delle loro stampanti inkjet è un mercato di nicchia che i laboratori professionali online come http://www.fotoinsight.it/ stanno servendo.

L'esposizione alla luce, calore, ozono e inquinamento atmosferico provoca lo sbiadimento dell'inchiostro usato nelle stampanti per uso domestico. Recenti ricerche condotte da ‘Wilhelm Imaging Research’ hanno riscontrato che “le cartucce rigenerate spesso producono fotografie che cominciano a degradarsi in misura evidente nel giro di pochi mesi .” Usando carta fotografica autentica su apparecchiature da laboratorio per grandi formati, le ditte come FotoInsight producono risultati che tendono ad avere un aspetto 'più ricco' e sono più durevoli e resistenti al sudore delle mani, agli ambienti umidi ed allo sbiadimento per effetto della luce diurna.

Germany, October 4th, 2006 - The Social Business Club starts again a new Promotion-Campaign and gives away 2,000 lifetime Premium-Memberships for free!

The Social Business Club offers a broad spectrum of different marketing and communication features on two independent platforms for English and German plus 46 additional languages for the category PR & News. Due to complex network integration into a wide variety of news-portals, contents published in this category can reach millions of people worldwide within a few minutes. Additional features such as forums, blogs, an own job-portal, B-to-B marketplaces and translational services combined with a complex media-management and online image- and text-editors can be used intuitionally by the club-members to gain success and grow their network rapidly.

Strategic objectives for the first year after launch such as 5 Mio page impressions or 10,000 RSS subscriptions have been already reached but the club is still in the need of 2,000 additional members to reach its goals for the first year completely. Therefore the club management has decided to start a new promotional-campaign and give away these 2,000 lifetime premium memberships for free to new club members.

The goals for the second year are to quadruplicate the success of the first year and to focus further elaboration of the fundamental Corporate Social Responsibility background which was also eponymous for the clubs identity.

Swiss security software specialist Langmeier launches Backup 3.2. 
Small and practical like a Swiss Army knife, this application will run backups reliably in the background.

Pfäffikon SZ. August 3rd, 2006 – Our daily lives and routines increasingly depend on information stored on computer our hard drives: Contracts and contacts, appointments, e-mails, spread sheets, presentations and digital photos. A total or partial loss of such information is equivalent to a major disaster for business users and increasingly, for home users too. The simple reason why such catastrophes happen is the lack of backups and if backups have been made they can be out of date or faulty. The Swiss data security developer Langmeier said: “The launch of Backup 3.2 puts special emphasis on making routine backups easier and avoiding backup errors”.
 
In cases of theft, fire or flooding insurance money will cover in most cases the purchase of replacement equipment, though usually not the cost associated with recovering the data. It is an often overlooked fact, that the data is much more valuable than the PC or hard drive. A virus or a defect on the hard disk can quickly cause havoc. In that case, recent versions of files may have been affected and earlier backup versions are required. That is why it is so important to run backups on a regular basis with history and version tracking. According to “Langmeier Backup” the software was developed with the objective to overcome barriers to running backups by making the routine simpler and automatic, running in the background and avoiding interruptions in the work routine on the PC or network. The backups can also be stored to any location on the computer, the network which Windows can recognize as a drive or to an ftp server over the internet, where the application can also apply 256Bit encryption. The backup data can be accessed at these locations at any time, using a file path resembling the original, which makes the backup files usable.
