The Schneider Corporation Enhances Beacon(TM) GIS Solution With Oblique Imagery From Pictometry International Corp.
Market Wire, July, 2010
The Schneider Corporation ( www.schneidercorp.com ,) a provider of creative solutions for land, infrastructure and facilities projects that help increase revenue, lower costs and mitigate risk, today announced it is partnering with Pictometry International Corp. ( www.pictometry.com ) to provide aerial oblique imagery for its Beacon Geographic Information Systems (GIS) solution.
Schneider and Pictometry have been working together to develop the integrated solution that will provide Beacon users and Pictometry customers more frequently updated images and an easier to use interface.
Unlike satellite or aerial images, which provide orthogonal (straight down) views, Pictometry specializes in oblique (an approximate 40 degree angle) image capture. Pictometry captures and processes images of each targeted geographic area from 12 to 20 different views. As a result, buildings, properties and areas are identifiable and recognizable in a 3-D life-like appearance.
In Johnson County, Iowa, the county assessor is using the combined solution to reduce drive-by assessments. In addition, county law enforcement has found the imagery useful for emergency response situations.
"The Johnson County Assessor's office utilizes the Beacon site to distribute information from several sources to the citizens of Johnson County. One of these sources is the Pictometry photography that we purchase. Having the Pictometry information supplementing our oblique photography and Streetscape iLookAbout imagery gives the customer a complete photographic experience that surpasses an onsite visit," said Bill Greazel, Johnson County Assessor. "The Beacon site is a one-stop portal for all the information the assessor's office has accumulated on a property, which is a substantial convenience to our customers, and also is a tool we use in our analysis for assessment purposes."
Having the most current photography is crucial for our clients, according to Jeff Corns, Schneider vice president. "Many public oblique imagery sources are not updated frequently. By partnering with Pictometry, Beacon customers know they have the most recent imagery available along with advanced tools from Pictometry to get the most out of the solution."
"This integration makes it easy for Pictometry and Beacon customers to utilize county and state-wide information using a tool they are already accustomed to working with. This is a combined solution that benefits everyone," said Dante Pennacchia, chief marketing officer for Pictometry.
Pictometry is a major sponsor of Schneider's 2010 GIS Conferences in Indianapolis (August 4, 2010) and Ames, Iowa (August 10-11, 2010). Information about the 2010 GIS Conference can be found at www.schneidercorp.com/uc2010/ .

By having visible content in
By having visible content in your control ranking on the first page of Google when someone does a search on your name, you can absolutely put yourself ahead of anyone else you might be competing with for a job opportunity.
A June 12, 2006 ExecuNet Press Release (
"Growing Number Of Job Searches Disrupted By Digital Dirt"
) stated:
"According to a recent survey of 100 executive recruiters conducted by ExecuNet, the leading executive job search and recruiting network, 77% use search engines to learn more about candidates. Of those who use sites such as Google (GOOG) and Yahoo! (YHOO) to check the background of job seekers, 35% have eliminated a candidate from consideration based on the information uncovered online ? up significantly from 26% just one year ago."
And that's just recruiters. Do you think an executive hiring authority does this during a recruiting process with respect to the candidates they are looking at investing time into interviewing?
The problem that many executives have with their Internet presence is all that surfaces are press release quotes (if they have anything surfacing at all). Press release quotes really don't do anything to showcase your unique executive value proposition or subject matter expertise.
This is easy to fix if you have access to the right tools and are willing to spend a little time writing.

It is also fun for everyone.
Before you start playing games, there are some rules you should know, and safety precautions you should take. Your pups need to really run, not just walk on a leash, but be sure any area you play in has a fence. If they are city dogs, try finding a fenced-in tennis court for play. As a last resort, keep the puppy on an extra-long line. You do not want them to wander free until you are certain they will return on your command.
Brush their white coats two to three times a week, to keep it shiny and clean. If you do intend to enter them for competition, make sure your pet is regularly trimmed, plucked and stripped of his or her coat.
Good and reputable West Highland Terrier breeders will tell you that a Westie lives an average of 15+ years and usually has a litter of two to five puppies.
What is the history behind the Terrier breed? This breed originated in Scotland developed in the high mountains of West Scotland, to hunt vermin.

API Technologies resuscitates Long Island's defense role
Long Island Business News, Jul 16, 2010 by Gregory Zeller
A Suffolk County contractor with an impressive client list and an aggressive business model is rebooting Long Island's national defense functionality.
API Technologies Corp. provides engineered systems, components and secure communications to the global defense and aerospace industries. Founded a quarter-century ago, the company boasts about 600 employees - including more than 100 at its Ronkonkoma headquarters - and a singular approach to carving its defense- industry niche: conquer and devour.
By acquiring smaller defense-industry specialists, each with its own proficiency or market sector, API aims to master both the engineering and manufacturing ends of the defense spectrum. The company isn't interested in returning Long Island to its halcyon days of the aerospace business; instead, just as Northrop Grumman's old Bethpage digs have been remade into the Morrelly Homeland Security Center, API is hoping to reposition the Island as the defense industry's cerebral center.
Some engineering and manufacturing occurs inside API's Ronkonkoma HQ. The bulk of API's production, however, occurs at plants in New Jersey, Virginia and the United Kingdom, and particularly at the company's new flagship facility in Windber, Pa.
Some 80,000 square feet of manufacturing space (along with another 30,000 devoted to office space, distribution, maintenance, etc.) is being repurposed in Windber for API's "specific goals, which include the design and manufacture of ..

Time for talk, tests on STDs
0 Comments | Charleston Gazette, The, Apr 14, 2010 | by Kira Miskimmin
Many Americans were shocked in 2008 when the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that at least one in four teenage girls has a sexually transmitted disease. According to the Guttmacher Institute, the direct medical cost in the United States for treatment of STDs is about $14.7 billion a year.
The CDC report only serves to reinforce that sexually transmitted diseases continue to pose a serious public health threat in this country, and women and young people bear the burden.
It is estimated that nearly 19 million new cases of STDs occur each year, and that by the age of 25, one in two sexually active young people will contract an STD. Most of them won't even know it

So, it?s not
So, it?s not surprising to find you have reached a point in life where you are looking for something better, but not sure how to go reach it. Perhaps the original dream is still there, or perhaps it has been replaced by a new one.
Reality, however, looks very different. You feel stuck in a boring job, which might have been interesting once, but no longer holds much appeal. But you have bills to pay, responsibilities to meet and there seems to be very little you can do to change your situation.
Change can seem overwhelming in the face of mortgages, household bills, debt and the responsibilities of bringing up a family. This is particularly true if the change of career or job which we are striving for requires further study or training. However, it isn?t necessary to do everything at once. It is possible to break down the necessary steps into manageable chunks and move gradually towards our goals.
If you are in a what feels like an impossible situation, it?s important to analyse your skills and ambitions and then find a way of moving towards your goals, one step at a time.
Research the jobs and careers which interest you and look at exactly what needs to be done to reach your dream.

Publishers are finally
Publishers are finally starting to charge for branded content. It's still difficult to do, but we are seeing many newsletter publishers charging from $30-100 per subscriber per annum. And, most importantly, many people are finally starting to accept the need to pay for quality content.
2. Contrary to popular opinion, the web's epicenter is not San Francisco, Tokyo, Washington D.C./northern VA, Seattle, London or Austin. There is no epicenter ... it's everywhere. We now have over 427M (Dataquest & Nua) people using the web and its truly become a global medium/marketing venue/information highway.
3. More good news for e-commerce enabled business models. Recent published reports (Boston Consulting Group & eShop) indicate customer acquisition costs have dropped from $45 per individual customer in Q-4 of 2000 to $18 in Q-1 in 2001.
4. Adobe continues to push PDF format as a web standard. Over 32% of corporate web sites today have Acrobat PDF-enabling their web sites. Why we will never know (?), as it isn't an HTML standard but was originally developed to facilitate printing of documents. And, it doesn't work well on many web sites, especially for those coming in with slow connections or when you are trying to view more than a couple of pages.
