MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB)

“Touching Fireflies”: a comforting bind of poems expressing a testament of God’s love and thanking Him for His light in times of heartbreak, loss, and pain. “Touching Fireflies” is the creation of published author Althea S. Palmer, a nurse practitioner and adjunct nursing professor. She is a globe-trekker, seeking the next adventure—including connecting with people, places, and cultures. Her love for writing began when she was still young, and now, her poetry has already been published in several publications.

Palmer shares, “Touching Fireflies is a poetry collection, an expression of the writer’s testimony of God’s relentless love, a vibrant and transcended journey of praise, thanksgiving, empowerment, and inspiration. The book explores love and intimacy contrasted with the harrowing corners of loss, heartache, and hurting. The writer then honors her memory of the rhythm, culture, color, and seducing beauty of her homeland—the island of Jamaica.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Althea S. Palmer’s new book is an inspirational read of messages that speaks about the Almighty God’s grace over His people as it takes the readers along an exploration of love and faith even in times of distress.

Christie laser projectors provide precise mappings at Global Shift

Leave a comment


News Image

“We tested various projectors using the pixel shifting/eShift 4K enhancement processes and the Christie 1DLP projectors came out on top.”


LINZ, Austria (PRWEB)

Global Shift at the Ars Electronica Center is using a wide selection of Christie® projection to examine the influence of technological progress on natural living environments. The exhibition employs models and projections to show how the world and our view of it have changed because of digital progress. Whether digital infrastructure, Earth observation via satellites, or data collected on us every day, it provides insight into the current conditions of our living environment.​

Working with Christie partner Ton & Bild Medientechnik GmbH, Ars Electronica Solutions selected one Christie 4K10-HS, two Christie 4K7-HS, five Christie Captiva DHD410S 1DLP® projectors, and three Christie LWU650-APS LCD laser projectors for the project.

Satellite imagery provided by various institutes and organizations was prepared in various elevation models for the precise mappings using Christie TWIST™ Pro to perform this precise terrain mapping (Großglockner and surroundings) in a small area with 4K resolution.

“We are currently working on the digital elevation model for Upper Austria, Salzburg and surroundings, as well as the digital elevation model of the Großglockner with the HS Series from Christie. In addition to this, a projector from the HS Series is being used for the installation ‘ORBIT – A Journey around Earth in Real Time’ by ​Séan Doran,” comments Patrick Müller, technical director, Ars Electronica Solutions. “We connected the projectors using DP 1.2 fiber optic extenders, ensuring that they are fed the maximum resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels at 60 Hz.”

The installations are controlled using touchscreen interfaces to display and hide the various animated layers of the terrain models or even combine them. The Christie BoldColor Technology integrated in the HS Series proved particularly impressive and helped the team reach their final decision as to which projectors to use. Their low noise level and long service life also spoke in favour of the projectors. After all, they are in continuous operation six days a week.

“We tested various projectors using the pixel shifting/eShift 4K enhancement processes and the Christie 1DLP projectors came out on top,” explains Müller. “The laser light source will also be capable of delivering the desired results, even after 10,000 to 20,000 hours.”

In addition, several exhibits had special characteristics that required customization: “One elevation model on the wall, for example, is inclined in two directions. Positioning the projectors as precisely as possible to minimize or optimize shading areas and viewer positions proved a real science in itself here,” said Miller. The massive flexibility of​fered by the projectors with the option of a 360-degree installation proved extremely useful in this case.

Eight months were spent on testing, creating content and implementing the projects. Müller, his colleagues and the artists were all particularly impressed by the light output of the projectors in a relatively dark environment: “The results and the resolution were truly extraordinary, particularly the Großglockner digital elevation model, boasting 4K at a width of just 1.77 meters,” concluded Müller. “Not only did we make the right choice in terms of hardware, but also service, as both Ton & Bild and Christie were available to provide support at all times.”

Fall edition of the Register

Our recent issue reflects the diversity of contributors with articles that help consultants through their daily routine of practice. Additionally the publication presents Association news and member benefits…Editor-in-Chief, Wendy Kennedy, IARFC Team


MIDDLETOWN, Ohio (PRWEB)

Bryan S. Slovan, MRFC® is the Register profile – which reviews his company Stuart Financial Group and how he is Still There for the Client When They Need Him. According to Bryan, his trademarked Stuart Retirement Review® is their process designed to help clients achieve simplicity and confidence during their retirement years and is focused around five key areas of their current financial life. Bryan views his recently obtained Master Registered Financial Consultant (MRFC®) credential offered by the IARFC as a commitment to furthering his financial education.

Jaime Bosse, RFC® connects with readers as she promotes her financial concepts on teaching kids how to grow into financially responsible adults. With four kids under the age of six, she outlines financial topics that can be taught to kids at different ages – the goal being to make kids financially savvy and help them navigate the “real world” of finances without a ton of help from their parents.

Jorge Villar weighs in on powering your business growth through seminar marketing. With the statistics in mind that Less Than a Third of American 65 and Older Receive Financial Planning Assistance, he feels consultants are missing out on a huge opportunity. The IARFC will be working with his company LeadingResponse in the near future to bring industry specific topic podcasts to the membership.

Internationally, the Register features recent graduates of IARFC events and educational programs held in Hong Kong, Macau and the Philippines. Graduates who meet the requirement criteria are eligible for the Registered Financial Consultant (RFC®) designation.

From the Trustee Chair and CEO, H. Stephen Bailey, MRFC®, a plan for future change is detailed in From the Chairman’s Desk. He outlines plans for a regional structure to build membership and coordinate participation. “It’s not a new concept,” confirms Bailey, “I have seen it work in many non-profit organizations. Building relationships at the regional level fosters loyalty.”

Coming up in November and December, the Register explains the Member-Refer-A Member Drive. Incentives are detailed on how current members can help the Association by referring qualified consultant prospects while putting money in their own pocket.

Balancing out the Fall Edition are feature stories and columns by contributors who are published frequently and opportunities to become Corporate Sponsors for the IARFC National Financial Plan Competition.

To access the Register, visit the IARFC website. Those interested in teaching others about their practice and being published can reach out to Wendy Kennedy at wendy@iarfc.org, Editor-in-Chief. There are opportunities open for 2020 editions.

Allied Environmental Services adds Electrofusion Pipe Welding to Expanding List of Services

Electrofusion repairs at landfill facility

We primarily work at environmentally sensitive facilities where exceptional quality work is a must


BUFFALO, N.Y. (PRWEB)

In response to client input and the needs of industry in the western New York region, Allied began building the electrofusion welding service offering in the first quarter 2019. According to Linda Grimmer, Allied Buffalo Branch Manager, Allied made considerable investment in the equipment, training and resources required to offer professional and high-quality service. “We primarily work at environmentally sensitive facilities where exceptional quality work is a must”, Grimmer stated. “Our clients were struggling to find qualified contractors to provide the electrofusion welding service, so we responded by adding the capability ourselves. When we made that commitment, we also committed to becoming expertly trained and equipped to provide outstanding quality work, which is what our clients expect and deserve,” Grimmer added.

Electrofusion welding is a method of joining medium and high-density polyethylene (MDPE & HDPE) piping through electrical resistive heat fusion. The process produces a complete and consistent weld without using solvents or adhesives, which eliminates contamination concerns at environmentally sensitive work sites, such as landfills and environmental remediation projects. It also allows for repairs to be made without removing existing piping from the ground.

According to Grimmer, electrofusion welding offers several benefits over traditional polyethylene pipe joining, especially in applications involving the installation and repair of in-situ environmental treatment systems. “The process is free of chemical solvents, which we never want to introduce to a treatment system. Also, it allows for buried pipes to be repaired in place without removing them and bringing them to the surface,” Grimmer said. “The process is less intrusive, and because the equipment is programmable, it eliminates human error and makes a more consistent weld,” she added.

Allied has more than 30 years of experience installing and repairing in-situ treatment systems. The addition of the electrofusion welding service adds an additional specialized tool to the firm’s wide range of capabilities.

Athenascope Launches Showcases, Giving Streamers a Free, AI-Powered Editor to Make Music-Synced Montages of their Best Plays

Leave a comment


“Athena takes the burden off of streamers, making it possible for streamers at all levels to show off like the biggest Twitch stars.”


MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (PRWEB)

Athenascope, a games tech startup that aims to change the way we play and watch games together, today introduced Showcases, giving broadcasters an AI-powered video editor that automatically produces slick, music-synchronized montages of broadcasters’ best plays of the week.

Each week, streamers who use Athenascope can unlock a Showcase featuring a brand-new music track by achieving a set number of kills, wins, or other requirements depending on their game of choice. Streamers get access to a “BRB link,” which makes it incredibly simple to play their latest Showcases live during a stream break to keep viewers entertained.

A Showcase featuring Athenascope users playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/wf8rma0osVo

“We’ve been lucky to work with a lot of incredible, hard-working streamers, and we’ve listened closely to their feedback to understand how Athena can help make their lives easier — that’s why we developed Showcases,” said Chris Kirmse, founder and CEO of Athenascope. “Before Showcases, streamers would have to spend countless hours editing their gameplay highlights, or they’d need to pay a pro to make edits for them. Athena takes the burden off of streamers, making it possible for streamers at all levels to show off like the biggest Twitch stars.”

Athenascope recently introduced Twitch auto-processing, automatically generating highlights for Twitch streamers who link their accounts, and launched Twitter integration, making it simple for streamers to share moments with their audience on social media.

The Athenascope Windows app automatically detects supported games and sends your gameplay sessions to Athenascope’s servers, where the company’s computer vision AI technology chooses top moments and outputs fully produced highlight videos and clips for users to share with friends. Available for free, Athenascope just added support for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, which joins its lineup of Fortnite, Apex Legends, Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds, Rocket League, Overwatch, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

Athenascope harnesses high-tech computer vision technology (the same AI method that powers self-driving cars), and brings it to games, beginning with automatic highlights and leading to future developments like AI coaching. The company recently raised a $2.5 million seed round led by First Round Capital, with the fund’s founder, Josh Kopelman, joining the Athenascope board of directors.

About Athenascope

Athenascope is changing the way we play and watch games together. Using cutting-edge developments in computer vision and artificial intelligence, Athenascope analyzes gameplay and automatically surfaces the most important moments and information. The company has raised $2.5 million in seed funding led by First Round Capital, with the fund’s founder Josh Kopelman joining the board of directors. In February 2019 Athenascope launched automatic, social highlight reels, allowing gamers to easily share top moments from their gaming sessions with friends. Athenascope was founded in 2018 by Chris Kirmse, creator of Xfire, and is based in Mountain View, California.
