Green PolkaDot Box and the Green Refrigerator Machine Partner to Preserve Perishable Food Products













The Ozonator, the Green Refrigerator Machine


Las Vegas, NV and Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) November 30, 2011

Today, Brittany Karlen Messmer and Russ Karlen, co-founders of the Ozonator™ the Green Refrigerator Machine that replicates the earth’s most powerful disinfectant, the Ozone, to extend the refrigerator life span of perishable foods, and Rod A. Smith founder of the Green PolkaDot Box, announced their partnership to offer the Ozonator through the world’s first online buying collective membership for Organic and Natural, Non-GMO Foods and Products.

The Ozonator replicates the earth’s Ozone by oxidizing and neutralizing ammonia and ethylene to delay the onset of mold and decay of perishable foods in the refrigerator. The award winning Ozonator™ popularly known as the Green Refrigerator Machine™ conceived by then college student, Brittany Karlen Messmer and father Russ Karlen, is a compact (6”x 5”) battery operated device that is placed in the refrigerator. The Green Refrigerator Machine has won several awards for its green ability to provide families an inexpensive solution to expensive refrigerator waste.

“It is frustrating to try fresh foods on hand when they spoil so rapidly. The average household throws out 180 lbs. of produce per year due to spoilage, so our Green Refrigerator Machine provides a perfect cost-saving solution to clean food focused Green PolkaDot Box members,” says Brittany Karlen Messmer. “The Ozonator extends the life and flavor of a foods including the fresh fruits and vegetables which decay most rapidly and are often the most expensive to purchase fresh.”

The Green PolkaDot Box™ (GPDB) objective is to educate consumers about the links between clean food and increased health while providing those choices to members at a more affordable price. Rod A. Smith chose to add the Ozonator to its launch line of organic and Non-GMO products because of its ability to help members naturally preserve their fresh foods.

“Obviously organic fresh foods don’t last as long as a chemically preserved food, so having a solution that sanitizes the refrigerator and naturally keeps healthy foods fresher longer is an important benefit to our members,” said Rod. A. Smith Founder. “The Green PolkaDot Box is pleased to offer the Green Refrigerator Machine to its members to extend the freshness life of perishable foods in their refrigerators.”

The Ozonator, The Green Refrigerator Machine not only extends the life of food, saving consumers over $ 500 per year, it also offers many other benefits like the elimination of all odors in the refrigerator, i.e.: fish, garlic, onions, etc. It operates on four “D” batteries and initially generates ozone for the first 60 minutes of operations, then automatically switches to standby mode for 170 minutes, activating every 10 minutes repeating that cycle for 230 minutes until the batteries need replacement (usually 3-4 months).

The Green PolkaDot Box™ is an online membership club that provides the lowest pricing on organic, natural and other healthy food products through partnerships that garner the best pricing from manufacturers and growers. A family business, founded by Rod A. Smith, the Green PolkaDot Box does not carry any products that contain harmful ingredients, including foods that are known to be genetically modified. The GPDB annual membership includes both a “club” or “reward” membership; the later offering a referral rewards program to help consumers earn their healthy food purchases. Both membership types feature a free delivery options. Learn how the GPDB referral rewards program helps consumers earn their healthy food purchases. http://www.greenpolkadotbox.com.

The Ozonator™ popularly known as The Green Refrigerator Machine™ promotes a clean environment inside your refrigerator. Produced in sufficient quantities, ozone is known to oxidize, and thereby destroy, many harmful germs and bacteria, molds, and yeast that can be transmitted from one family member to another by hand contact on foods, food containers and other hard surfaces inside your refrigerator. The Ozonator™ has been proven by a leading independent laboratory to produce ozone in safe quantities, reduce orders, and extend the shelf life of refrigerator stored perishable foods. The Green Refrigerator Machine recently took first place as Best of Expo at the New Living Expo in San Francisco and placed among the top five in the New Products Category at Go Green Expo in Los Angeles. Priced at $ 29.95, with the savings you get from food staying fresh longer, it will pay for itself within two months. For each Ozonator sold, a percentage is donated to The Iacocca Diabetes Foundation, dedicated to the advancement of diabetes research. To order, please visit, http://www.ozonator.com or call 702-363-5343.

Consumers can purchase the Ozonator™ The Green Refrigerator Machine™ at a 35% discount online with a membership at http://www.greenpolkadotbox.com/save

Boston, MA (PRWEB) December 12, 2011

Poptropica fans can now learn more about the popular virtual world for kids anytime, anywhere with today’s launch of the site’s first official app for the iOS and Android platforms. Now available for free in the iTunes store and the Android Market, the Poptropica® Official Tips & Tricks app includes a walkthrough of the site’s newest adventure, Game Show Island, along with additional Island Guides for in-app purchase.

Other Island Guides that will walk players through Mystery Train, Shrink Ray Island, Mythology Island and Spy Island are available for purchase in the app for $ 0.99 each, with more Islands to be added in the near future. With this official walkthrough app from the creators of Poptropica, players will learn all of the tips and tricks that they need to progress through the site’s toughest Islands.

“When kids get stuck on one of our quests, we now have an app for that,” said Jeff Kinney, Poptropica creator and author of the bestselling “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” series. “It is so cool to know that now kids can use mobile technology to learn more about Poptropica’s great adventures and solve its challenging quests.”

The Island Guides in the Poptropica app provide detailed information about the Islands. They introduce the main characters, important items that players need to progress through the game, and an in-depth look at the goals of the Island and what needs to be done to solve the quest and win the Island medallion. Each Island Guide features full-color screenshots and easy-to-read text to help master Poptropica’s challenges.

“The kids playing Poptropica don’t remember a time when there weren’t mobile devices, such as iPhones and iPads, so it makes perfect sense for them to turn to an app for help exploring Poptropica,” said Jess M. Brallier, publisher of Poptropica. “With the official app, our new guidebook and other resources, such as the ‘Creators’ Blog,’ kids now have lots of different ways to get the tips and hints that they need to experience all of the great storytelling on our virtual world.”

New Thermal Imaging Camera System For Coal-Fired Boilers Improves Plant Efficiency

New Thermal Imaging Camera System For Coal-Fired Boilers Improves Plant Efficiency










Santa Clara, California (PRWEB) September 05, 2011

LumaSense Technologies, Inc. has introduced a unique thermal imaging camera system that uses high-quality video and data analysis software to help coal-fired power plants run their boilers and produce power more efficiently: The LumaSense BoilerSpection is a heavy-duty, radiometric thermal infrared imaging system that allows operators to see through combustion flames, providing clear images from inside boilers, furnaces and kilns ( http://www.lumasenseinc.com/EN/products/thermal-imagers-detectors-and-cores/fixed-imaging-systems/boilerspection.html ). This helps plants to better monitor boiler tubes and slag deposits that prevent boilers from running at peak efficiency. By proactively maintaining boilers with infrared thermography and continuous thermal vision, coal plants can improve boiler uptime by reducing the number of manual cleaning cycles and decreasing tube erosion typically caused by excessive cleaning.

For example, Alabama Power’s Miller Steam Plant – located in West Jefferson, Ala. – has significantly reduced the number of “de-slags” on two of its four boilers using LumaSense’s IR imaging camera and thermography system BoilerSpection, and eliminated the need for online washes during a six-month beta period. Prior to using BoilerSpection, the plant estimates it performed approximately 51 de-slags on the boilers in 2010, a process that decreases generation on the units from 720 megawatts to 300 megawatts for approximately 4-6 hours. During the six-month beta test with the new thermal image camera system, they performed only 12 of these processes. The plant is planning to outfit its remaining two boilers with BoilerSpection. “The cost savings on cleaning the boilers alone is worth the investment, but the increased productivity that BoilerSpection enables makes the plant much more efficient overall,” said Brent Hand, maintenance team leader at the Miller Steam Plant. “The sharper images and analysis capabilities provide us the information we need to run the plant more efficiently, extract more energy from the coal, and run a better operation.”

BoilerSpection is a turn-key solution for continuous infrared imaging inside boilers with short term return on investment (ROI) improving coal plant efficiency by reducing cleaning frequencies, extending boiler tube life, and optimizing fuel switching strategies. Infrared temperature measurement with thermal imagers using BoilerSpection provides clearest, most informative through-flame imaging, thermal vision and imagery for boilers, and e. g. real time hotspot monitoring. The system includes an infrared imaging camera with a cooled borescope lens, automatic retraction system, mounting hardware, a networked software system integrated into the plants DCS, and full-service field installation and maintenance.

BoilerSpection enables plant operators to manage multiple thermal imaging camera systems, configure trip alarms for automating soot-blowers or water cannons, and establish minimum acceptable levels of clinker formation. The camera itself is protected by a heavy-duty enclosure with an integrated cooling system. The IR thermal camera imaging system also uses cooled borescope optics and a 3.9-um infrared wavelength to see through combustion flames and monitor the boiler tubes and slag deposits. In addition to the high-resolution thermal imager designed to withstand harsh boiler conditions, BoilerSpection’s data analysis software allows operators to measure and track changes over time, trigger events or alarms to help prevent unplanned shutdowns, archive data, and view images anywhere in the plant using HTML platforms, among other functions. “With increased consumer demand and tighter environmental regulations, the top objective for any coal plant today is to squeeze out more energy from the same amount of coal,” said Brett Sargent, vice president of global sales for LumaSense Technologies. “BoilerSpection is designed specifically for that purpose. It provides a continuous picture of how boilers are operating and gives plants the data they need to more efficiently maintain their boilers and reduce unnecessary downtime. By reducing the number of cleaning cycles, customers lose less production time and produce more energy.”

Betrayal, Romance and Danger Beckon in Novel

Betrayal, Romance and Danger Beckon in Novel











Rancho Palos Verdes, CA (PRWEB) November 23, 2011

In Ruthe Ogilvie’s new mystery suspense novel “In the Wings” (published by Trafford Publishing), heroine Andora Jordan struggles to balance a deteriorating marriage, a philandering husband, and the sensual attraction of a former lover.

With her marriage in shambles, she is confronted with the sordid details of her husband’s secret life. Andora must find a way to earn a living and provide for her young daughter, Midge, while outwitting her husband’s murderous plans.

An excerpt from “In the Wings”:

’Our life has become stagnant,’ Paul explained. ’We’re in a rut. We both need a change – new faces, new places –‘ He broke off.

Here it comes! Andy thought. We’re finally going on that cruise!

Paul rose and began to pace nervously. ’We need a break from each other,’ he said. ’I think we should – you know – date other people – get a new perspective. I’d like to date other women, and you could date other men. It should be fun.’

Andy’s heart almost stopped. She gulped, gaping at him, unable to move. Was she hearing right, or was she dreaming? At first she thought he might be joking. Sometimes he would say something in all seriousness, then laugh, and she would know he was teasing. But this time it was real.”

Despite these setbacks, Andy overcomes her distress and her pain and learns to be her own woman. Her success draws Paul dangerously back into her life, but with the help of an old flame she perseveres and finds the happy ending she always wanted.

Media Industry Leaders Gather to Discuss Future of Online Brand Advertising

Media Industry Leaders Gather to Discuss Future of Online Brand Advertising











Vizu brought together representatives from across the online media supply chain to discuss online media’s ability to drive brand awareness and impact


San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) December 14, 2011

Vizu Corporation (http://www.brand lift.com), an online ad technology company whose solutions allow advertisers and publishers to measure and optimize Brand Lift in real-time, today announced key findings from its 2012 Customer Advisory Board Meeting, which brought together senior executives and media industry visionaries from leading brand advertisers, agencies, networks, and publishers.

“As a brand marketer I have tremendous appreciation for Vizu putting the spotlight on Brand Advertising Effectiveness,” said Aaron Fetters, Associate Director of Global Strategy and Analytics at Kellogg’s. “I was most surprised and pleased by the fact that representatives across all components of the online media supply chain came together for a day to specifically discuss online media’s ability to drive brand awareness and impact vs. a typical discussion on direct response. I applaud Vizu in making this happen and look forward to the positive impact such discussions can have on our industry.”

The meeting focused on key opportunities and challenges facing the online media industry around brand advertising, highlighted through discussions led by senior executives from brand advertisers and a variety of companies in the online advertising ecosystem, including Audience Science, Compass Point Media, FRWD, Glam Media, Horizon Media, Liverail, Sharethrough, Specific Media, Tribal Fusion, Undertone, ValueClick, and WPP Team Detroit. Key areas of focus discussed and conclusions reached included:

Moving beyond measurement: Leveraging real-time data to maximize the value of online advertising

    Attendees unanimously agreed that direct-response metrics are a poor proxy for consumer opinion, and that the industry needs to shift to using true brand metrics for measuring and optimizing brand advertising
    Several case studies shared by attendees showed that real-time Brand Lift data can be used to significantly improve the results from online brand advertising campaigns, in the range of 20-80%+
    Attendees also noted the criticality of collecting sufficient data quickly enough to make statistically sound decisions, and the resulting importance of focusing analytics around the primary marketing objective of the campaign

“It was great to hear people representing companies from every segment of our industry sharing best practices for getting the most out of online brand advertising,” said Denise Zaraya, Vertical Strategy Director at ValueClick. “The fact that everyone in our ecosystem is rallying around Vizu as a standard platform for leveraging real-time Brand Lift data for accomplishing this is a great testament to what they’ve built.”

Taking the next step: Improving collaboration between media sellers and media buyers

    Several presentations highlighted that the best possible outcomes for brand ad campaigns cannot be achieved when media buyers and media sellers are working in silos, referencing disparate data, or optimizing to different metrics
    Case studies reviewed during the meeting showed material gains can be achieved when everyone is looking at the same data, in the same system, in real time, and jointly making decisions to improve campaign performance
    Attendees agreed that direct collaboration between media sellers and media buyers to optimize online brand advertising campaigns is key to maximizing advertisers’ return on their brand investment

“Marketing success today is minute by minute, and our solutions and partners are built for that reality,” said Aimee Reker, Partner at FRWD. “We’re constantly evaluating solutions that help FRWD’s clients build brands and drive trial. This meeting, and the Vizu technology overall, enabled us to all dig in, roll up our sleeves and collaborate directly on what’s working and where we can improve, specifically and collectively.”

The Value in Video: Maximizing Brand Lift in advertising’s hottest medium

    Advertisers in attendance shared their opinion that video is exploding because of a number of factors coming into alignment, including ongoing standardization of video serving technologies, a growing diversity of video ad formats, brand-appropriate metrics to determine performance, and increased reach
    Advertisers also agreed that, as a result of these trends and the continued movement of consumers online, brands are beginning to shift TV dollars to online video, and that this trend will likely continue in 2012
    Case studies reviewed during the meeting showed another reason for the growth in video advertising. Unlike standard ad units which require higher exposure rates to achieve the desired outcome, video is often a single-exposure performer, making it an overall better return on investment

“Video is inherently a branding medium, and like all other brand advertising requires appropriate metrics to measure and optimize its performance,” said Ken Solano, Supervisor Brand Strategy at Horizon Media. “Vizu provides the industry with a standard around which to do just that – which is why you see so many of us here talking about it.”

Publishers attending the event also shared several case studies highlighting the means by which they leverage real-time Brand Lift metrics to prove the brand-building potential of their properties and maximize brand advertising sales.

“Vizu’s solutions provide the proof-points we need to attract brand ad dollars,” said James Kreckler, VP of Digital at Rodale. “And like this event, they provide a unique opportunity for us to interact directly with advertisers to ensure they get the most bang for their brand advertising buck.”

Added Dan Beltramo, Vizu’s CEO, “We’re proud to provide the standards and the technology that allows advertisers and their partners in the digital media ecosystem to collaborate in real-time to maximize the value of their online brand-building efforts. The attendance and open exchange of ideas we saw at this meeting is indicative of the progress we’ve made – people are realizing there’s a better way to do things, and are starting to embrace that potential.”    

Vizu Corporation (http://www.brandlift.com) brings the same metrics used to measure and optimize brand advertising effectiveness in the offline world to the online medium. By providing the first real-time, enterprise technology platform that allows brand advertisers and their partners in the digital media ecosystem – publishers, ad networks, exchanges, and demand side platforms – to collaborate around measuring and optimizing Brand Lift metrics, Vizu enables its customers to move their target audience through the purchase funnel, from building awareness to creating intent and preference. Vizu’s brand advertising effectiveness platform is used by over 60% of Advertising Age’s Top 100 Brand Advertisers and Comscore’s Top 50 Media properties to support all key aspects of the advertising lifecycle, including media buying, audience profiling, and Brand Lift optimization.

Ideal Tax Solution Provides Relief in Deciphering IRS Notices That Threaten Amounts due, Intents to Levy and Intent to Garnish Wages: IRS Releases News Admitting the Documents are Difficult to Understand











Ideal Tax Solution


(PRWEB) December 14, 2011

Many Americans, who have a tax debt of some sort, receive tons of notices to their homes threatening a slew of unwanted things. Wage garnishments, bank levies and liens are the most common. Then there are the generated forms showing “amount due.” Many people can get dozens of the same notice stating they owe a balance to the IRS. Now, chances are, the tax payer is well aware of a balance owed and is just not sure of how to handle the situation. Aside from the environmental issue the IRS is promoting in wasting paper, these notices also create a lot of confusion and worry.

The IRS has released a newsletter stating they intend to edit their notices so that they are less scary and easier to read. “Currently, the IRS is in the process of redesigning and revising its correspondence with taxpayers for clarity, effectiveness and efficiency. The new format includes a plain language explanation of the nature of the correspondence, clearly states what action the taxpayer must take and presents a clear, clean design.” http://www.irs.gov. Well gee, thanks. In the meantime, tax professionals can easily handle these notices on the tax payer’s behalf. The IRS sends intents before action is taken and when one is being represented by a tax professional these notions can be stopped in their tracks. The benefits of having help decipher these notices are immaculate. While things should be getting better, if the IRS does in fact make reader friendly notices, the questions on notices already received can still be answered.
