Custom-fit cases for the Surface X

A snug-fitting case enhances protection and saves space in bags or backpacks.


(PRWEB)

WaterField Designs, an innovative maker of custom laptop sleeves, and designer bags and cases for digital gear, announces new custom-fitted Microsoft Pro X, Pro 7, and Surface Laptop 3 sleeve s: the SleeveCase™, the Dash Sleeve™, and, for the Pro models, the Vero Leather Laptop Sleeve™ and the minimalist Outback Solo™ sleeve-bag hybrid. With the new longer battery life, people are apt to take the Surface everywhere to make productive use of down time. WaterField’s sophisticated Surface Cases protect these new devices in transit whether commuting, traveling for business, or just dashing off to an off-site meeting.

“Size matters when it comes to protecting a valuable tablet or laptop. A snug-fitting case enhances protection and saves space in bags or backpacks,” explained company owner, Gary Waterfield. “Microsoft Surface devices are favorites among many WaterField customers; we offer them choices so that they can find a unique Surface sleeve or case that feels just right for their use and style.”

Customers can choose materials and colors that best suit their individual tastes. Waxed canvas and leather options lend themselves a rugged look; colorful textile choices add a bit of flair while making it easy to locate the device quickly; a premium full-grain leather option exudes sophistication and professionalism.

The SleeveCase:

A water-resistant, black ballistic nylon or tan waxed canvas shell envelops shock-absorbing neoprene for ultimate device protection. Available in a horizontal or vertical orientation with a lightly padded flap closure, the sleeve is easily inserted into a messenger bag or backpack. Optional D-rings and a strap let users carry the sleeve over one shoulder. An open-topped rear pocket holds loose papers or cords. TSA-friendly.

The Dash Sleeve:

Plush lining and impact-resistant compression foam inside a ballistic nylon, waxed canvas, or Luna® woven textile exterior protect the Surface from dings and scratches in a surprisingly thin profile. An open top allows access to ports for recharging, a rear mesh pocket holds a few accessories or papers, and a snug fit and elastic band keep the laptop securely in place. TSA-friendly.

The Vero Leather Sleeve:

Handcrafted from the strongest part of the hide, the leather laptop sleeve is built to last and develops a beautiful patina over time. An ultra-plush liner cushions the Surface and an extra leather strip along the base acts as both reinforcement and as a grip to ease removal of the device. A dedicated leather slot safely stows the Surface Pen for quick access on the rear of the sleeve. TSA-friendly.

Outback Solo:

Two layers of protection—high-grade neoprene enveloped in highly water-resistant, tan waxed canvas deliver rugged protection. A full-grain, distressed leather flap secures contents with a firm magnetic closure and lends the bag a vintage look. A pleated front pocket holds chargers, wallet, and keys plus a smartphone and a stylus or pen in designated Ultrasuede® pockets. A removable strap transforms the Outback Solo case into a svelte, minimalist over-the-shoulder bag.

For storing Microsoft Surface and Laptop accessories, WaterField offers the Surface Accessories Pouch, the Stylus Pencil Case, and the Developer’s Gear Case.

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

Don Huston speaks on Line and Antenna Sweeping at EF17.

In addition to the short courses at EF20@IWCE, ETA will host hands-on training workshops leading to ETA accredited certification as part of IWCE’s robust conference program.


GREENCASTLE, Ind. (PRWEB)

Electronics and communications professionals with fresh ideas and practical solutions to the challenges facing today’s communications industry, especially those which provide case studies and innovative solutions for communications challenges, will present technical sessions during ETA International’s Education Forum 2020 (EF20), co-locating with the International Wireless Communications Expo (IWCE), in Las Vegas March 30-April 3, 2020.

Technical sessions of interest include:


  • Who is Being Exposed & Necessary Safety Training


5G is the next generation cellular network technology. People & advocacy groups are concerned about the Radiofrequency radiation exposure of this new technology. Concern isn’t new; however, it is once again becoming more prominent. Utilities are sharing space on their poles. And public safety professionals need to know what to watch for and how to work safely. This session will be presented by Miranda Allen and Brenda Myers of RSI Corp.

  • Living on The Edge: Building Smart Cities, Smarter


The purpose of this topic will cover two overlapping areas involving 5G and smart cities. The first is to imagine the possibilities of 5G applications and smart cities. How will these networks benefit cities and their constituents? Which real-world challenges must be overcome to make “living on the edge” a reality? This session will be presented by Patrick McNerney of 3D Design & Engineering.

  • Assessing the Effects of Radio Failure in High-Risk Incidents


Monitoring, managing, and maintaining radio communication is paramount to public safety preparedness. Even new communication systems are susceptible to failure due to poorly maintained radios. Most often, these problems remain hidden until the equipment fails. When a failure occurs, it can create a problem that results in radio system managers spending hours chasing down the source of the issue before they can begin fixing it. This session will be presented by Eileen Cole of LocusUSA.

  • Understanding Fiber Basics for Wireless Backbones


The growth of wireless deployment and bandwidth demand means more fiber backbones will be needed. We will review how fiber works, the key components in the backbone and basic fiber testing needs. This is a good primer for anyone working with wireless technology, yet new to fiber optics. This session will be presented by Lee Kellett of Light Brigade.

  • Proprietary Video Files – the Science of Processing the Digital Crime Scene


Over the last few years, there has been an extraordinary effort to equip officers with body worn cameras. Agencies struggle with correctly processing these systems in a standards compliant / scientific manner. After a brief presentation on the problems and the technology, the presenter will guide the attendees through a variety of sample cases to illustrate how fast and accurate processing and analyzing this type of evidence can be. This session will be presented by Jim Hoerricks of Apex Partners, Ltd.

  • RF Exposure Awareness for Communication Technicians


Exposure to RF signals is a fact of life for radio technicians. This class will inform you about the current and proposed laws related to RF exposure safety, how to prevent and minimize RF exposure to yourself and the general public, how to do RF exposure testing and how to meet FCC and other regulatory agency exposure standards. This session will be presented by Mark Pallans of Pallans Communications Associates.

  • Fiber To The RF: Antenna, RRU, DAS


There is a rapidly growing demand for commercial, residential, indoor, outdoor and everywhere seamless wireless/Wi-Fi availability. DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems) and Fiber to DAS are providing the potential solution. To get career-ready for this technology, DAS technicians must be familiar with basic theory of RF/Wireless, and in-building DAS (IDAS), and learn about fiber optics and know basic fiber theory, installation, and testing outdoor DAS (ODAS). This session will be presented by Frank Ghassemi, DAS, of Golden Eagle Academy and David Diaz of Innov8.

  • The Importance of Antenna Mount Analysis


This session will discuss the importance of analyzing antenna mounts to prepare the 5G antennas for macro builds, the importance of proper installation of the antennas, how improper installation can negatively affect the strength of the mounts and will reference 5G antennas in terms of how they will affect loading. This session will be presented by Luke Ferguson of Valmont Site Pro 1.

  • Verifying Fresnel Zone Clearance for Point-to-Point Microwave Systems


Clear line-of-site is critical for long distance microwave point-to-point link performance. Even if the path to a remote site is visually clear, the radio line-of-site may be affected by objects in the Fresnel zone, which is an elliptical area immediately surrounding the visual link path. This presentation describes how a battery-powered portable signal generator and a battery-powered portable spectrum analyzer can be used to verify the Fresnel zone clearance. This session will be presented by Thomas Brinkoetter, LAS of Radiositetest.

  • The Evolution of mmWave RF Communications in Future Terabit Optical Wireless Communication Technologies


This session examines the current mobile capacity of the RF spectrum in respect to 5G small cell technology and outlines the evolution of wireless systems to SAT5G/6G and terabit optical wireless system network technologies. This session will be presented by JB Groves, FOI, ITS, STS of Wharton County Junior College.

  • UAS Analytics and Best Practices for Optimizing Drone Data


Data-capture is the core value in sUAS (drones), and this session will look at post-flight analysis software, workflow and interpretation of data. We’ll briefly examine the setup of sensors for best data capture, while diving deeply into the use of software to provide actionable data post-flight. This session will be presented by Douglas Spotted Eagle of Sundance Media Group.

In addition to the short courses at EF20@IWCE, ETA will host hands-on training workshops leading to ETA accredited certification as part of IWCE’s robust conference program. To prepare both entry-level technicians and seasoned professionals for successful careers in electronics and wireless communications, hands-on training workshops that will be hosted by respected industry leaders include: 5G for Technicians, Basic Electronics, Distributed Antenna Systems, Fiber to the Antenna, General Communications Technician, Cybersecurity, Line and Antenna Sweep, Passive Intermodulation, Practical Antenna Basics, R56 Communications Site Installer, and Radio Frequency Interference Mitigation.

The Acqualina Spa by ESPA has been selected as the nation’s best Spa, Il Mulino New York, the sumptuous Italian restaurant, is the perfect place to feast in style, three outdoor swimming pools and of course the Atlantic Ocean in your backyard – living here is like being in a fairy tale


SUNNY ISLES BEACH, FL (PRWEB)

Brosda and Bentley Realtors is a boutique real estate development and international marketing company, led by principal broker Katerina Brosda, providing bespoke real estate advisory services throughout Miami and the beaches. Acqualina Resort & Spa in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida sits on 4.5 pristine beachfront acres and has been continuously voted the best oceanfront resort in the entire country.

Katerina Brosda listed the 4-bedroom 4-bathroom condominium on the 30th floor for $2.5 million and stated, “This is a fantastic entry-level opportunity to join and experience the unsurpassed Acqualina lifestyle in Sunny Isles Miami Beach”.

With its green oceanfront lawns, its own parks, sanctuaries, and its signature red umbrellas, couches and amenities on the beach, Acqualina is a world of luxury unto itself.

“The Acqualina Spa by ESPA has been selected as the nation’s best Spa, Il Mulino New York, the sumptuous Italian restaurant, is the perfect place to feast in style, three outdoor swimming pools and of course the Atlantic Ocean in your backyard – living here is like being in a fairy tale or a never-ending luxury vacation”, Katerina Brosda said.

Immediately to the south of the Acqualina Residences are the ultra-exquisite Mansions At Acqualina – the finest residences in the world and to the north, currently under construction, are The Estates At Acqualina.

Brosda & Bentley previously reported that The Estates At Acqualina are on its list of the ‘4 Best New Condos In Sunny Isles Beach’ with dazzling amenities never seen before. For example, The Estates At Acqualina will have an ice-skating rink directly on the beach.

Ideally situated on a barrier island, Sunny Isles Beach is close to the exclusive Bal Harbor Shops, the chic and expansive Aventura Mall, Gulfstream Park with its world-class thoroughbred horse racing and bustling South Beach is just a short 25-minute ride south.

The Acqualina residence for sale has marble flooring, except for the bedrooms which have exotic wood floors. The condominium has hardly been utilized by the out-of-state executive. It features direct ocean views to the east and city views to the west; 2,750 square feet of indoor space and 430 square feet of east and west balconies.

The listing price and monthly maintenance fees are relatively moderate compared to the new Acqualina-brand developments and other luxury developments in Sunny Isles and Miami Beach.

The Acqualina Residences are extremely kid-friendly, and family orientated. Resident’s safety is paramount at the Acqualina and arriving home is quite the spectacle you have to come and experience yourself.

Society: Christianity

A Launching Point” is a potent read that on the significance of unceasing prayer in stretching one’s relationship with God

Leave a comment


News Image


MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB)

“Prayer Life: A Launching Point”: a well-conceived book on the efficacy of having a prayerful countenance to progress toward realizing the love of God in one’s life. “Prayer Life: A Launching Point” is the creation of published author Justin Eaton, a prolific writer and a devout believer of God.

Eaton shares, “Our Heavenly Father’s heart cry is for closeness in relationship with those whom he loves—his children, those whom he sacrificed his Son, Jesus Christ, for. In every relationship, there has to be communication; and in every deep relationship, there has to be mature communication. How we get there with God is through mature prayer.

“Prayer is our communication with God. However, none of us starts out mature in prayer. All of us at some point, even if it’s just in our hearts, ask, ‘How do I pray?’

“A lot of times I have seen this question answered, ‘Just pray what you want.’ Though this answer has truth to it, there is a deeper answer that could be given to further along a person’s prayer life and, through that, further along their relationship with the Father. That was the goal as I, guided by the Holy Spirit, wrote this book using examples of prayer and a lot of scripture to help provide a launching point to an enriched, mature prayer life full of belief and straightforwardness toward God.

“I pray this book furthers you along in your prayer life or helps to get you started. In Jesus Christ’s name, Amen!”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Justin Eaton’s new book is a thought-provoking devotional blessed by the Spirit of the Lord to instill the pivotal nature of prayer and faith in living a Christian life.

This book imparts reflections inspired by the Holy Bible that tackles the essence of proper praying to reach out to God in utmost humility and dedication.

View the synopsis of “Prayer Life: A Launching Point” on YouTube.

Consumers can purchase “Prayer Life: A Launching Point” at traditional brick-and-mortar bookstores or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Miami Single-Family Homes, Condo Sales Surge in September

Leave a comment


MIAMI Chairman of the Board José María Serrano

MIAMI Chairman of the Board José María Serrano

“New tax laws and low mortgage rates continue fueling Miami real estate”


MIAMI (PRWEB)

Miami-Dade County single-family home sales, condo sales, median prices, dollar volume and luxury transactions increased year-over-year in September 2019, according to the MIAMI Association of Realtors (MIAMI) and the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) system.

Miami single-family home and condo sales jumped by double digits. Single-family home sales increased 10.4% year-over-year, from 978 to 1,080. Condo sales increased 11.4% year-over-year, from 1,041 to 1,160.

“New tax laws and low mortgage rates continue fueling Miami real estate,” MIAMI Chairman of the Board José María Serrano said. “High earners from tax-burdened states are relocating to Miami, but not just because of monetary savings. Miami is home to one of the nation’s fastest-growing downtowns, the world-renowned Art Basel Miami, a global reputation for fine art and design and the most cultural institutions in the Southeast.”

Total Miami Home Sales Jump Double Digits in September

Total Miami-Dade County home sales increased 10.9% year-over-year, from 2,019 to 2,240. With consumer confidence rising, unemployment low, job creation high and increased migration to Florida, Miami real estate should enjoy steady growth.

Year to date, Miami single-family home sales are up 1.8% compared to the first nine months of 2018. Condo transactions are up 0.6% year to date.

Luxury ($1-million-and-up) home sales increased for single-family homes and condos in September 2019. Single-family home luxury sales increased 23.3% to 90 transactions last month. Condo luxury sales increased 16.7% to 63 transactions.

The increased number of luxury transactions raised the total dollar volume for Miami real estate last month. Single-family home dollar volume rose 19.8%, from $525.7 million to $629.5 million. Condo dollar volume jumped 14.5%, from $374.3 million to $428.6 million.

According to Freddie Mac, the average commitment rate for a 30-year, conventional, fixed-rate mortgage decreased to 3.61% in September, down from 3.62% in August. The average commitment rate across all of 2018 was 4.54%.

Lack of access to mortgage loans continues to inhibit further growth of the existing condominium market. Of the 9,307 condominium buildings in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, only 12 are approved for Federal Housing Administration loans, down from 29 last year, according to Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation and FHA.

A new condo approval process could increase sales in the future. The new guidance, which went into effect in mid-October, extends certifications from two years to three, allows for single-unit mortgage approvals, provides more flexibility with owner/occupancy ratios, and increases the allowable number of FHA loans in a single project. The changes, many of which MIAMI and NAR has championed, should yield thousands of new homeownership opportunities.

7.83 Consecutive Years of Price Appreciation in Miami

Miami-Dade County single-family home prices increased 4.9% in September 2019, increasing from $360,000 to $377,750. Miami single-family home prices have risen for 94 consecutive months, a streak of 7.83 years. Existing condo prices increased 3.2%, from $237,500 to $245,000. Condo prices have increased or stayed even in 96 of the last 100 months.

Despite the price increase, Miami remains a bargain compared to other global cities. In Miami, $1 million can net homebuyers 93 square meters of prime property, according to Knight Frank’s 2019 The Wealth Report. Monaco (16 square meters), Hong Kong (22), New York (31), Los Angeles (36) and others offer significantly less prime land for $1 million.

Miami Distressed Sales Stay Low, Reflecting Healthy Market

Only 5.8% of all closed residential sales in Miami were distressed last month, including REO (bank-owned properties) and short sales, compared to 6.8% in September 2019. In 2009, distressed sales comprised 70% of Miami sales.

Total Miami distressed sales decreased 5.1%, from 137 to 130.

Short sales and REOs accounted for 1.3% and 4.6%, respectively, of total Miami sales in September 2019. Short sale transactions decreased 12.5% year-over-year while REOs decreased 2.9% percent.

Nationally, distressed sales represented 2% of sales in September, unchanged from August but down from 3% in September 2018.

The median number of days between listing and contract dates for Miami single-family home sales was 57 days, a 21.3% increase from 47 days last year. The median number of days between the listing date and closing date for single-family homes was 104 days, a 14.3% percent increase from 91 days.

Statewide closed sales of existing single-family homes totaled 23,510 last month, up 11.5% from September 2018, according to Florida Realtors.

The national median existing-home price for all housing types in September was $272,100, up 5.9% from September 2018 ($256,900), as prices rose in all regions. September’s price increase marks 91 straight months of year-over-year gains.

The statewide median sales price for single-family existing homes was $265,000, up 5.3% from the previous year, according to data from Florida Realtors Research Department in partnership with local Realtor boards/associations. Last month’s statewide median price for condo-townhouse units was $193,000, up 5.8% over the year-ago figure. The median is the midpoint; half the homes sold for more, half for less.

Miami’s Cash Buyers Represent Almost Double the National Figure

Miami cash transactions comprised 33.9% of September 2019 total closed sales, compared to 35.4% last year. Miami cash transactions are almost double the national figure (17%).

Miami’s high percentage of cash sales reflects South Florida’s ability to attract a diverse number of international homebuyers, who tend to purchase properties in all cash.

Condominiums comprise a large portion of Miami’s cash purchases as 46.1% of condo closings were made in cash in September compared to 20.9% of single-family home sales.

Seller’s Market for Single-Family Homes, Buyer’s Market for Condos

Inventory of single-family homes decreased 3.1% in September from 6,652 active listings last year to 6,444 last month. Condominium inventory decreased 1.9% to 15,142 from 15,435 listings during the same period in 2018.

The increase in inventory is for properties above $300,000 for condos and for properties above $600,000 for single-family homes.

Months supply of inventory for single-family homes decreased 4.8% to 5.9 months, which indicates a seller’s market. Existing condominiums have a 13-month supply, which indicates a buyer’s market. A balanced market between buyers and sellers offers between six- and nine-months supply.

Total active listings at the end of September decreased 2.3% year-over-year, from 22,087 to 21,586. Active listings remain about 60 percent below 2008 levels when sales bottomed.

New listings of Miami single-family homes decreased 3.7% percent to 1,619 from 1,682. New listings of condominiums decreased 11.2%, from 2,285 to 2,028.

Nationally, total housing inventory at the end of September sat at 1.83 million, approximately equal to the amount of existing-homes available for sale in August, but a 2.7% decrease from 1.88 million one year ago. Unsold inventory is at a 4.1-month supply at the current sales pace, up from 4.0 months in August and down from the 4.4-month figure recorded in September 2018
