A R T I C L E:

Charlie Allen Restorations, the Cambridge-based firm specializing in the renovation and restoration of period homes, has won two 2011 Preservation Awards-one each from the Cambridge Historical Commission (CHC) and the Somerville Historic Preservation Commission (SHPC).

"When I first came to this area to attend college in 1966, I was amazed by the period architecture that can be seen on almost every street. These historic homes are a treasure we all share, and I'm grateful to organizations like the CHC and the SHPC that support and recognize efforts to preserve them," says Allen.

The firm's award from the Somerville Historic Preservation Commission acknowledges work done on the landmark Edward Crane House.

"We first began working on this house in 1998 under the stewardship of its previous owners," says Allen. "When the current homeowners moved in, they refused to do anything less than the right thing for their historic house, and I'm thankful that they have entrusted us with its restoration."

The project recognized by the CHC involved the thorough exterior restoration of a 1923 Colonial Revival house named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

"This home was designed by Lois Lilley Howe, founder of one of the first all-female architecture firms in America," says Allen. "It was a thrill to return it to its original condition."

Steps taken to restore the home's exterior included removing a replacement roof balustrade and constructing a new one at original dimensions (calculated from a photograph supplied by the CHC), rebuilding a deck balustrade at the back of the house (again using historical photography as a guide), and replacing all broken and loose roof slates with matching slate. Following a paint consultation with the CHC, all exterior trim, window wells, decks, and balustrades were sanded, scraped, and re-painted, and stucco was completely removed from the chimney and reinstalled after flashing was replaced and the crown fixed. In addition, original exterior shutters were salvaged from basement storage, re-painted and reinstalled on the front of the house.

Charlie Allen Restorations is an award-winning remodeling firm specializing in the seamless integration of modern amenities into period homes while retaining original period details. Charlie Allen Restorations combines expert tradespeople and professional project management techniques to deliver exceptional customer satisfaction.

Author: Gingrich Foundation
Dateline: Washington, District of Columbia (WASHINGTON, D.C.)  | Thu, 07 Jul 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “In honor of Independence Day and Thomas Jefferson, the author of our Declaration of Independence, the Gingrich Foundation has recognized the Thomas Jefferson Foundation as its Charity of the Month for July, 2011.”



A R T I C L E:

In honor of Independence Day and Thomas Jefferson, the author of our Declaration of Independence, the Gingrich Foundation has recognized the Thomas Jefferson Foundation as its Charity of the Month for July, 2011.

The Thomas Jefferson Foundation owns and operates Monticello, the mountaintop home of Founding Father, Thomas Jefferson. Since 1923, the Foundation has maintained this World Heritage Site and National Historic Landmark without ongoing federal or state funding, relying instead on the generosity of private donors to help preserve Jefferson's estate. Today, the Thomas Jefferson Foundation is committed to its dual mission of preserving Monticello and the legacy of Thomas Jefferson.

"We are pleased that the Gingrich Foundation has named the Thomas Jefferson Foundation its Charity of the Month and hope this recognition will inspire new audiences to support our mission," said Leslie Greene Bowman, president and CEO of the Thomas Jefferson Foundation.

"The Thomas Jefferson Foundation sustains the legacy of one of our most important Founding Fathers," said Callista Gingrich, President of the Gingrich Foundation. "Newt and I encourage others to support the Foundation's important work as the trustee of this historic national landmark."

Chief accomplishments in the Foundation's history include restoration of the architectural masterpiece, reacquisition and protection of 2,400 acres, reacquisition of most of Jefferson's original furnishings, creation of an unsurpassed library, and extensive archaeological research.

The Thomas Jefferson Foundation expanded its educational mission with academic and scholarship programs in 1994 with the opening of the Robert H. Smith International Center for Jefferson Studies. In 2009, the Foundation opened the Thomas Jefferson Visitor Center and Smith Education Center with museum galleries, film, and classrooms. Today, 60,000 children visit Monticello annually.

The Gingrich Foundation is a domestic non-profit corporation founded by Callista and Newt Gingrich to support charitable purposes.

ProtiLife Launches Health-Focused Online Weight Loss Program in U.S.

Author: ProtiLife Distribution Inc.
Dateline: Montreal, Quebec, Canada (MONTREAL, Quebec)  | Thu, 07 Jul 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “ProtiLife Distribution Inc., a leader in the development and distribution of high-quality protein supplements for over 20 years, has launched its online weight loss program to the U.S. market.”



A R T I C L E:

ProtiLife Distribution Inc., a leader in the development and distribution of high-quality protein supplements for over 20 years, has launched its online weight loss program to the U.S. market.

The program, designed specifically for women, is based on balanced consumption of high-quality ProtiLife protein supplements, fresh fruits, vegetables and a balanced variety of home-cooked foods. ProtiLife uses a Weekday / Weekend approach that ensures subscribers lose weight quickly and easily while acquiring the knowledge and skills needed for long-term success.

Women on the program follow a rigorous Weekday program to learn healthy, easy-to-use weight loss techniques. Then, on the two-day Weekend program, they put their learning into practice, using self-prepared food choices to replace some of their ProtiLife supplements. The program combines healthy food choices and great tasting supplements with proven learning techniques, enabling subscribers to retain healthy eating habits and maintain their goal weight permanently.

According to ProtiLife Vice President of Marketing Aldo Spensieri, the program offers the immediate results women want, plus the knowledge and tools they need for long-term success. "Permanent weight management requires learning key skills and then practicing them until they are mastered. At that point, weight management becomes second nature. Our program works because it teaches people how to do it on their own. It is easy to follow, the products taste great and they help people stay satisfied between meals. There are no tricks, no gimmicks. It is simply designed to deliver noticeable results from day one."

The program is divided into three phases. In the Slim-down phase, individuals can lose up to 10 pounds in the first 14 days and then an average of two or three pounds per week until they reach their goal. Then, they proceed to the two-week Transition phase. In this phase, the Weekend Plan is extended over the full seven days and some previously restricted foods are re-introduced. After completing the Transition phase, they graduate to the Keep it Off! Maintenance Program, an easy-to-follow plan designed for healthy, lifelong weight management.

"One of the reasons our program is so successful is because we use high-quality proteins and well-balanced, nutrient-rich ingredients," explains Isabelle Dupont, M.S., Director of Research & Development for ProtiLife. "Unlike some competitive products, our protein supplements are low in fat and sugar and contain eight essential amino acids as well as a healthy balance of vitamins and minerals. Also - and this is very important - we place great emphasis on flavor. Our products taste great!"

ProtiLife is a subsidiary of Ranaz ("Ranaz") (TSX-V:RNZ) a Canadian corporation specializing in the manufacture and marketing of protein and dietary supplements. Ranaz Corporation distributes product in 14 countries.

Capital Business Solutions has sold its 50th license for DrillPoint Reports.

"In our work with nonprofits, we continued to see the need for advanced reporting features in order to help nonprofit professionals spend less time on preparing reports and more time on analyzing the data important to their organization's operations," said Capital Business Solutions Co-Founder Robbie Pollock.

DrillPoint Reports was released in December 2009 and allows users to easily access financial data within Microsoft Excel® and create presentation-quality financial statements using a familiar, user-friendly spreadsheet application.

KnowledgeAdvisors Presents Next Step Toward Uniform Talent Development Reporting

Author: KnowledgeAdvisors
Dateline: Chicago, Illinois (CHICAGO, Ill.)  | Wed, 06 Jul 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “KnowledgeAdvisors, a provider of learning measurement software that improves the effectiveness and business impact of learning, today announced the release of its new white paper, 'Standard Definitions and Agreed Measurements: A Common Language for Consistent, Clear and Uniform Talent Development Reporting,' available for complimentary download.”



A R T I C L E:

KnowledgeAdvisors, a provider of learning measurement software that improves the effectiveness and business impact of learning, today announced the release of its new white paper, "Standard Definitions and Agreed Measurements: A Common Language for Consistent, Clear and Uniform Talent Development Reporting," available for complimentary download.

The paper is the second in a series that presents the guidelines developed by some of the nation's most influential leaders in learning and development analytics to create a comprehensive, uniform and consistent method for reporting talent development measurements.

The council, which includes five of the seven Chief Learning Officers of the Year as recognized by Chief Learning Officer magazine, adopted its groundbreaking Talent Development Reporting Principles (TDRP) earlier this year.

In its new paper, KnowledgeAdvisors offers insight into the TDRP's second recommendation: Adopt standard definitions and measures.

"The language around talent development is more like a Tower of Babel than a cohesive system for defining and measuring metrics to provide consistent, clear and uniform reporting to leadership," says the introduction to "Standard Definitions and Agreed Measurements: A Common Language for Consistent, Clear and Uniform Talent Development Reporting."

Before it can reach a level of powerful and effective reporting - parallel to an organization's financial reports - talent development professionals must have consistent, common answers to some very frequent but crucial questions:
- How should talent development and learning measures be defined and calculated?
- Which measurements should always be used?
- Which ones are recommended and in what circumstances?
- What are the definitions of commonly used terms?
- What are the categories for reporting?
- Which categories are comparable across organizations?

"Standard Definitions and Agreed Measurements: A Common Language for Consistent, Clear and Uniform Talent Development Reporting" answers those questions. Download this important paper now to learn the recommended guidelines for:
* Defining categories of learning, Industries and organization size.
* Measuring talent development volume, ratios and costs.
* Establishing effectiveness measures (Kirkpatrick/Phillips Levels 1-3).
* Developing business outcome measures and linking learning to business outcomes.

Inspired by the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) used by the accounting profession in the United States since 1973, TDRP outlined four first-phase recommendations on which to build a basic and consistent reporting framework for learning and development:
1. Adopt a set of seven guiding principles
2. Adopt standard definitions and measures
3. Adopt three reporting statements
4. Adopt three executive reports.

The first paper in the series, "Talent Development Reporting Principles: Proving Value with Consistent, Clear and Uniform Reports," provided insight into the first recommendation and outlines the seven guiding principles. It is available for complimentary download now.

Following papers will expand on the last two recommendations to be adopted, with explanations and examples.

BioJet Supports Aviation Biofuel Approval with One Billion Gallon Availability

Author: BioJet International Ltd.
Dateline: Santa Barbara, California (SANTA BARBARA, Calif.)  | Wed, 06 Jul 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “BioJet International Ltd. announces that it joins the worldwide Aviation Industry celebrating approval of bio-derived jet fuel for commercial use (ASTM International revised D7566). Concurrent with this approval, and to aid in development of the bio-aviation market, BioJet is releasing One Billion Gallons of Renewable Jet Fuel to long-term contracts.”



A R T I C L E:

BioJet International Ltd. announces that it joins the worldwide Aviation Industry celebrating approval of bio-derived jet fuel for commercial use (ASTM International revised D7566). Concurrent with this approval, and to aid in development of the bio-aviation market, BioJet is releasing One Billion Gallons of Renewable Jet Fuel to long-term contracts.

This is a one time introductory offer made to the Commercial Aviation Industry on special pricing and terms. No deposit, take or pay contracts will be freely transferable and may be assigned or traded over the life of the contract provided that the financial capacity of the assignee is at least equal to that of the original Purchaser.

Pricing will be fixed at US$2.97 per gallon. Alternatively, the buyer may elect to index at par with petroleum jet fuel with a US$3.50 cap and US$2.50 floor.

BioJet International, Ltd. is a leading international supply chain integrator for renewable (bio) jet fuel and related products for the aviation and transportation industries that include renewable ("green") diesel, feedstock oil, and feedstock co-products.

BioJet operates throughout the entire biofuel value chain and engages feedstock generation, technology, refining, logistics, sustainability certification, distribution, and eventual end use by the aviation and transportation sector user.

In February 2011 BioJet received a US$1.2 Billion funding facility from Equity Partners Fund. The facility is the cornerstone of BioJet's US$6+ Billion supply chain capital projects program over the next 10 years which includes feedstock and refining projects, as well as investment and strategic acquisitions.

This offer is made possible because BioJet, through its subsidiaries, owns and controls multiple, very large biofuels feedstock projects around the world. This unique position provides BioJet with the ability to control its internal allocation of resources for a significant cost control advantage while other companies are subject to severe fluctuations in cost and availability of feedstock.
