ARTICLE:

In his new book, 'Gratuity Not Included' (ISBN: 9780979675539), author Ricardo Estrada will strike a chord with any reader who has ever questioned best-laid plans, been inspired by love, or bound by loyalty.

Three years after high school graduation and after quitting college, childhood friends, Marcelo and Barry, are waiting tables at the popular Vineyard Restaurant in St. Petersburg, Fla. A year earlier, they'd made a pact to save and open their own place, but Barry's wasteful spending has derailed those plans.

One evening, Barry is captivated by Emily, a new waitress on vacation from her studies at Miami State. However, her eyes are set on Marcelo. Their lives soon intertwine in the summer of 1978 - a season that would bear rewards for heroism, the bliss of romantic love and the despair of insanity.

Marcelo's world is tossed upside down when his act of heroism propels him into the limelight. For his good deed, St. Petersburg showers him with cash for the business and the chance to return to college. He wonders if Barry was ever a good choice for a business partner.

While Emily and Marcelo's romance blooms, Emily ignores the reason for her summer in St. Petersburg: to pressure her widowed grandmother into a retirement home. She struggles to gauge her mother's agenda against her grandmother's right to run her life.

Barry, delusional and hallucinating, spirals into darkness. He flees the scene of a car accident, and the next day he is horrified to learn that a teenager is now dead. Bewildered, he leaves town and goes into hiding. Consumed by madness, he longs for the life he left behind.

The novel is a dramatic, yet humorous read that brings levity to the serious topic of mental illness. It's sure to compel the reader from beginning to end. "Gratuity Not Included" demonstrates that destiny is a myth, people build their own prisons, and hold the key to their future.

About the Author:

Born in Lima, Peru, Ricardo grew up in St. Petersburg, Fla. His inspiration for "Gratuity Not Included" came from a combination of his restaurant work during college and his experience as a psychotherapist. He lives in New York City and is currently at work on his third book.

"Gratuity Not included" is available in paperback for $15 and in Kindle or Nook versions for $7.99. For contact details, review copies, photos and a complete author biography, visit: http://ricardoestrada.net/ .

Prime Focus Technologies to acquire DAX

Author: Prime Focus Technologies
Dateline: Los Angeles, California (LOS ANGELES, Calif.)  | Tue, 11 Mar 2014

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Prime Focus Technologies (PFT), the technology subsidiary of Prime Focus (BSE:532748) today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire DAX LLC, a leading provider of cloud-based production workflow and media asset management applications to the entertainment industry.”



ARTICLE:

Prime Focus Technologies (PFT), the technology subsidiary of Prime Focus (BSE:532748) today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire DAX LLC, a leading provider of cloud-based production workflow and media asset management applications to the entertainment industry.

PFT through its U.S. subsidiary will acquire all the assets of DAX for an upfront payment with balance payable over 3 years such that cash flows from the North American operations will support the payment.

* PFT secures ownership of Primetime Emmy(R) award winning Digital Dailies(R) solution which is the de-facto industry standard in television production
* The PFT-DAX combination creates an unrivaled industry leader offering a uniquely robust and dynamic stack of enterprise-class Media ERP solutions to Broadcasters and Studios
* Accelerates PFT's strategic expansion in North America and the vision to virtualize the content supply chain before, during and after the production phase
* US$ 9.1 million base consideration in a uniquely structured performance linked transaction payable over 3 years
* Patrick Macdonald-King (current CEO of DAX) to be President responsible for North America; All DAX related tech support, client services, product design and account management to remain in Los Angeles
* Significant potential to monetize marquee customer base - Warner Bros. Television Studios, CBS Television Studios, 20th Century Fox Television Studios, Relativity Media, Legendary Pictures, Fox Television Studios, A&E, Showtime, Starz Media and Lionsgate.

This acquisition gives PFT ownership of DAX's patented technology (US Patent No: 7,660,416/ 8,218,764) and products including the Primetime Emmy(R) award winning Digital Dailies solution which is the de-facto industry standard in television production. This acquisition also sets the course for PFT's strategic expansion in North America. PFT will significantly enhance the value proposition to DAX's marquee customers including major studios and broadcast networks (Warner Bros. Television Studios, CBS Television Studios, 20th Century Fox Television Studios, Legendary Pictures, Fox Television Studios, A&E, Showtime, Starz, Relativity Media and Lionsgate) and many independent production and distribution companies.

"Our vision is to build the best enterprise platform for Production on the Cloud by taking a fresh look at media workflows through the lens of a studio that wants to efficiently collaborate across divisions with its entertainment content before, during and after the production phase," said Ramki Sankaranarayanan, Founder and CEO, PFT. "Digital Dailies is one of the first significant entry points to Production on the Cloud. PFT's CLEAR(TM) Media ERP platform combined with DAX's team and products will accelerate the realization of this vision."

"PFT has tremendous resources at its disposal," said Patrick Macdonald-King, CEO, DAX who will now assume the role of President and be part of the executive leadership team at PFT responsible for North America. "Beginning with its 250-person strong R&D and product development team dedicated to a single platform with rare media-centric IT skills. This marriage allows DAX to fulfill its vision and extends DAX's support of file-based workflows across the enterprise. PFT's arsenal of media-centric technology tools will drive the DAX product offering to a new level. For DAX customers, it's important to note that all tech support, client services, product design and account management will remain in Los Angeles, but also expand to the PFT offices in New York and London to better service the East Coast and Europe."

The global market for media asset management, workflow management, collaboration and media processing services is pegged at approximately $10 billion, according to an Ernst & Young survey. With content enterprises like broadcast networks faced with flat top lines (noted in an IBIS World Industry Report - Television Broadcasting in the US) and rising operating costs cited in Accenture's The Future of Broadcasting Issue III, organizations are increasingly attentive to solutions like virtualization of content supply chain operations, and media process outsourcing to enhance overall profitability as well as top line by realizing new media monetization opportunities in the multi-screen world.

"PFT's CLEAR platform is the most scalable and feature rich application I have seen in the market and its laser like focus on servicing the media industry is unique," said Macdonald-King. "Most of the competition is focused on single point solutions that further cement the siloed approach which is detrimental to long term agility and sustainability of media businesses."

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the coming weeks. PFT and DAX will be exhibiting together at the upcoming NAB Show 2014, and will showcase a number of CLEAR and DAX product releases.

"The biggest broadcast networks in the world run CLEAR Media ERP platform to manage their content supply chain," informs Ramki. "Managing 200 TV shows every day and over 350,000 hours of content has made CLEAR a world leader in the Media Cloud solutions market. We would like to extend this leadership to Production by tapping into the creative process in a more holistic way, empowering studios to truly transform the entertainment paradigm. DAX takes us closer to this goal," concluded Ramki.

Global Green Light Day is March 20, 2014: A Powerful Day to Think, Speak and Take Benevolent Action

Author: Marilyn Schoeman
Dateline: Seattle, Washington (SEATTLE, Wash.)  | Mon, 10 Mar 2014

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Spreading goodness and happiness in the world - that's the heart of Global Green Light Day (GGLD) 2014.

It introduces a unique and powerful way to think, speak and take expansive, benevolent action.”



ARTICLE:

Spreading goodness and happiness in the world - that's the heart of Global Green Light Day (GGLD) 2014. This new growing global movement is initiated by Marilyn Schoeman, of Seattle, Washington. Creator of the Green Light(R) system, the foundation of GGLD, features a new model of communication. It introduces a unique and powerful way to think, speak and take expansive, benevolent action.

"A standard rule for some is 'First, do no harm.' With Green Light, it is, 'First, do some good - then do some more,'" declares Schoeman. Occurring on the first day of spring, March 20, 2014, this is an invitation for people to step out with their Greenest spirit, contribute to others and enjoy GGLD annually.

The Green Light(R) Goal:
Create the greatest good, in the best way,
for the most people, for the longest time.

Founder, Marilyn Schoeman, is an international speaker, creative catalyst, game developer and author of, "GO! How to Think, Speak and ACT to Make Good Things Happen" (ISBN: 978-0-9841497-9-7; paperback, $19.95; available at Amazon.com, B&N and www.GoGreenLightWay.com). Her next book is, "Green Lightning! Creating a Green Light World - In a Flash!"

"Avoid the Red Lights of objections and obstacles by focusing on Green Light objectives and opportunities," Schoeman states. "From a base of positive thinking, dive into the exciting, enticing world of positive action. Green Light is the quantum leap that improves everything. It propels you beyond a paradigm shift, all the way to a Trinadigm shift - opening whole new realms of possibilities. It equips you, and inspires others, to do well by doing good."

Schoeman recently spoke about GGLD in Singapore at the M.I.N.D. (Mindfulness Integration Networking Dynamism) Conference, attended by representatives from 28 countries, hosted by the Wee Kim Wee Center, Singapore Management University. Individuals and groups there join others in preparing Green actions and posting them on social media. She also met with the Singapore Kindness Movement team, a very Green Light group spreading Greenness in Singapore and beyond.

"What Green Light actions will you be taking, celebrating and posting on GGLD?" asks Schoeman. "Continue ongoingly. You make a grand Green difference in the world."

Spread Green Light thoughts, words, and ACTIONS. This is a new way to enjoy being of service and to Green up our homes, neighborhoods, workplace - and our lives. Make March 13-20 a Green Light week. St. Patrick's Day adds a big dose of Green midweek. Plan a series of Green Light actions, ending with a celebration of your achievements on the 20th. Start your day with a Green Light greeting. Sound off with a "Good morning, world! Happy Global Green Light Day!" Celebrate the day in a bright Green Light Way.

Green someone's day. It might take a minute, it might continue over time. Who might you thank for a favor, a gift, or contribution? Who might you call with an uplifting message? What nearby area, roadside or park can you beautify or clear of trash? Who might you give an hour of two of help - babysitting, running an errand or just sharing your good company? Gather Green Light news to share with others. Expand friendships in the process. Find a Green Light colleague or partner and make something Green happen. Collect books for shelters and disadvantaged youth. Share Green Light ideas and actions at a hospital, school, or retirement center.

Find Green Light workers and commend them. Spread the Green news about their impact. Initiate Green Light conversations. Write a compliment or thank you on a business card or note pad and give it to a flight attendant, server, mechanic, or other day-brightener. Send a Green Light message by mail, phone, or email. Inhale gratitude. Exhale regret. Inhale joy. Exhale stress. Spread joy around you. Volunteer. Serve a worthy cause - education, social justice, the environment, literacy, health or other concerns. This is the day to play, "How Green can you be?" How many smiles can you generate? How many compliments can you give? Every Green thought, word and action Greens up the day for others - and yourself as well. Relish the Green Light outcomes.

Continue Green efforts throughout the year. As a Green Light DO-er, turn your creative ideas into reality. Go Green! Enjoy it. Celebrate it. Spread the Green news. Know that you are contributing to a global focus that benefits all. Salutes for your contribution to Global Green Light Day - and for daily Green Light actions you take.

A New Research Study Has Concluded that Dark Energy Probably Does Not Exist

Author: Pantheory Research Organization
Dateline: Montreal, Quebec (MONTREAL, Quebec)  | Fri, 07 Mar 2014

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “According to the Pantheory Research Organization, a new study of type 1a supernova data has concluded, for the first time, that dark energy probably does not exist. The paper is entitled 'An Alternative Universe-Scale Analytic Metrology and Related Cosmological Model.' The paper was published in the February 2014 issue of the journal of Applied Physics Research, by the Canadian Center of Science and Education.”



ARTICLE:

According to the Pantheory Research Organization, a new study of type 1a supernova data has concluded, for the first time, that dark energy probably does not exist. The paper is entitled "An Alternative Universe-Scale Analytic Metrology and Related Cosmological Model." The paper was published in the February 2014 issue of the journal of Applied Physics Research, by the Canadian Center of Science and Education and authored by Forrest W. Noble and Timothy M. Cooper.

This new research study involves "an analysis of type 1a supernovae data with newly proposed distance and brightness equations which, if valid, would eliminate the need for changing expansion rates of the universe vis-a-vis dark energy."

"Major conclusions of the study were that the observable universe is probably not expanding also precluding its accelerated expansion (dark energy), and that the Hubble Distance Formula is wrong and needs to be replaced," say authors Noble and Cooper.

This conclusion was based upon researchers comparing Big Bang related Hubble formula distance calculations with alternative-cosmology derived distance and brightness equations and related calculations, concerning a present-day study of type 1a supernova observations.

The subject paper used the same type 1a supernovae data as the original studies and papers that proposed the accelerated expansion of the universe, but this and other present-day studies now include much more data since the quantity of international observations of type 1a supernovae has multiplied greatly since then. At the time of the original studies in the 1990's that proposed the accelerated expansion of the universe, there were at least two unstated assumptions being made.

The first well-accepted assumption then and now was that space is expanding, and the second assumption was that the Hubble Formula calculates distances correctly based upon a constant expansion rate of the universe. The Hubble Distance Formula was derived from the Special Theory of Relativity based upon an expanding universe. The authors of this paper say that if either or both of these assumptions were wrong, then dark energy could be an invalid hypothesis even though the Nobel Prize was granted for its discovery.

The non-standard cosmology used as the basis for deriving the alternative equations and calculations used for comparison in the study is called the "Pan Theory."

The first module Rinner is targeted to release is a contact management system (CMS).

Global Health Leader Njekwa Lumbwe to Attend Hendersonville Premiere of ‘A Unified Presence’ March 22

Author: Four Seasons Compassion for Life
Dateline: Hendersonville, North Carolina (HENDERSONVILLE, N.C.)  | Thu, 06 Mar 2014

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Njekwa Lumbwe, national coordinator of the Palliative Care Alliance of Zambia, is the guest of honor at a premiere film screening of 'A Unified Presence,' on Saturday, March 22, at Hendersonville High School Auditorium. Lumbwe will host a 'talk back' session for audience members following the viewing. A VIP welcome reception will precede the event at the Four Seasons Palliative Care Clinic.”



ARTICLE:

Njekwa Lumbwe, national coordinator of the Palliative Care Alliance of Zambia, is the guest of honor at a premiere film screening of "A Unified Presence," on Saturday, March 22, 2014, at Hendersonville High School Auditorium. Lumbwe will host a talk back session for audience members following the viewing. A VIP welcome reception for Lumbwe will precede the event at the Four Seasons Palliative Care Clinic.

The short documentary features the inspiring cross-continental partnership of PCAZ with Four Seasons Compassion for Life, Flat Rock, in their collaborative effort to improve access to quality palliative care during serious, life-limiting illness or at end of life for individuals throughout Zambia.

During a personal experience of caring for terminally ill family members, Lumbwe saw a need for empathic care as disease progression outran treatment effectiveness.

"We are moving into a global family; what happens on one side of the world affects the other," says Lumbwe. "Things are never equal in the world. To find a partner who is willing to work with you to make your situation better is a gift."

Filmed on location in Zambia and North Carolina by Emmy award-winning Asheville filmmakers Dylan and Melanie Trivette, the documentary captures the importance of this partnership.

Zambia lies in the sub-Saharan, southern region of Africa. With fewer than 800 doctors nationwide, expert consensus remains that the country is ill-equipped to take care of the needs of the seriously ill and dying. On average, Zambians have a life expectancy of 48 years, about half that of North Carolinians, with high incidences of HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, and cancer.

"It is frustrating to have a patient with an incurable condition," says Lumbwe. "Yet, there is something you can do for the patient."

As doctors and nurses are certified in advanced palliative care methods, it makes a huge difference in the lives of the Zambian people served.

"Four Seasons has anchored in to support us, building the capacity of care providers to be able to provide palliative care services and advanced training. The cross-cultural aspects of collaboration between agencies half a world apart is crucial to the mission's success," says Lumbwe. "It establishes a foundation on which you can do everything else. People are coming - to give help and also to understand the culture. Nothing is more gratifying than that."

"A Unified Presence," premieres Saturday, March 22, 2014, at 7 p.m. at Hendersonville High School Auditorium, 1 Bearcat Boulevard, followed by a "talk back" session with Lumbwe. Tickets are $10, available in advance at http://www.zambiafundraiser.com/ .

A V.I.P. welcome reception for Lumbwe will precede the event from 5-6:30 p.m. at the Four Seasons Palliative Care Clinic, 506 Park Hill Court. For more information about Four Seasons Compassion for Life or its work in Zambia, visit http://www.fourseasonscfl.org/zambia/ .
