Kleritec Inc. Announces Business Website Expansion Today with an Expanded Internet Presence

Kleritec Inc. announced today the expansion of their new business website, Kleritec.com. Kleritec Inc. acquires struggling companies or distressed products in the health, athletic and imaging fields and restores them with marketing solutions and a focus on customer service. Kleritec Inc. retrains sales staffs and personnel and rewards high performance and imaginative problem solving as a way of boosting morale in failing companies.

With a focus on companies that have a strong customer base, Kleritec Inc. will use their newly expanded business website to forward their mission of revitalizing struggling companies and products. They pick projects that will succeed with the right incentives. Specializing in health care, childcare, athletics and imaging, Kleritec has prospered and grown in what the company describes as tough times.

Using personal representatives to communicate with the acquired companies has created an environment where staff members bring the most innovative ideas in the field to the fore. This has had the positive effect of motivating the sales staff of an acquired company. Each project company pursues goals, and Kleritec Inc. focuses on goal-oriented activities.

Kleritec Inc. has taken a medical company like Medistaph and marketed their swipe products as effective instruments in the CDC's war on the super-bug Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, also known as MRSA. Medistaph hand-wipes, formula 10 and disinfectant spray are just three products intended to battle MRSA. Medistaph markets them successfully under the leadership of Kleritec Inc. With a heightened awareness of medical issues facing everyone, Medistaph is in a good position to take advantage of the demand for their products. Kleritec Inc. has positioned them to succeed.

In education, Kleritec Inc. focuses on overstock and liquidated items to create creative school packs that provide educators with "fun packs" and "seasonal packs." The packs provide teachers and school officials everything they need to "meet the requirements of the school supply list," and at a savings. The packages make it easier for educators to fire children's imaginations, motivate them to do creative things and get the most out of their time. The packages help teachers fill the time with constructive activities.

As in the health care field, Medistaph's effort to fight the super-bug MRSA extends to athletics where the competition spreads the MRSA bug. Physical contact and hot moist environments create a breeding ground for MRSA. Football, rugby and wrestling are sports with potential MRSA infection situations and Medistaph's products help prevent the spread.

Citing global economic conditions that effect production and distribution of printing cartridges, Kleritec has brought ink cartridges for laser printers, fax machines and copy machines to the on-line marketplace as an authorized distributor. They are the only company with professionals who have spent over 20 years in the business, professionals who know the machines on the market and the right product to use.

Women, Infants and Children public health programs has created a market for Kleritec's line of Tumbler Cups, a brand of children's eating and drinking cups designed to be bisphenol free for the WIC market. The line includes Tumbler Cups, Heat-safe Infant's Spoons, toothbrushes and pacifiers at affordable prices. Kleritec says the products are the safest on the market and are of the highest quality.

DrumMax Custom Drums Releases 50-Ply Snare

DrumMax Custom Drums announced the release of a new 50-ply snare. Hand-crafted from American maple and completely made in the U.S.A., the snare garners reactions of awe and surprise from those who see or hear it.

“The 50-ply snare is a unique instrument. It’s so thick that the wall vibrates less, so that the top and bottom heads vibrate the most. That’s what gives it the dry crack sound,” said DrumMax founder Leonardo Baroncini, speaking from his workshop in Indianapolis, “It’s louder and has a much stronger crack than the 8-10-ply snares you typically see.”

DrumMax launched with a bang in July at the Summer NAMM show in Nashville, generating substantial buzz with their custom drums, all made in the United States by local craftsmen and Baroncini himself.

“This was the most talked-about snare at the Summer NAMM show,” Baroncini says, “The 50-ply is such a standout because it’s so extraordinary. It has an incredible attack.”

Starting at $1,250, the 50-ply snare isn’t the least expensive snare on the block. However, as Baroncini says, “This is a snare that is handcrafted by local artisans who add each ply, one at a time. One drum can take a few weeks to create. It costs more, sure, but the sound you get back is so intense, you can’t help but love it.”

The snare is the most dense of all snares that DrumMax offers. Shares are also available in 10-ply, 15-ply, 20-ply, 30-ply, and 40-ply, as well as in stav style, made in exotic woods.

Baroncini said, “The 50-ply snare is an extension of the custom drums we’ve been creating for our clients all year long. It’s just another way for us to give drummers any sound they want.”

DrumMax builds custom drums in exotic woods, including bubinga and zebrawood, and creates specialty snares like the 50-ply snare.

Left-Handed Monsters in Style for Halloween: thelefthandstore.com Celebrates the Dark History of Being Left-Handed

What do Dracula and King Kong have in common with zombies, witches, and devils throughout the history of folklore? They're left-handed! From the ghoulish Count in the 1931 film Dracula, to the giant ape who knocked out T. Rex with his left hook in the 1933 King Kong, the history of movies is loaded with terrifying lefties.

Left-handedness has long been associated with the devil. The Bible, as well as countless superstitions, holds that left-handers are evil, dark, and devilish. Consider the well-known folktale in which the devil lurks over one's left shoulder, so that throwing salt over that shoulder wards off evil. During the era of witch-hunting, left-handedness was literally seen as a sign that a woman was a witch, or as evidence of dishonesty. According to Wikipedia, Black Magic is sometimes referred to as "the left hand path".

In fact, the word sinister is derived from the Latin "sinistra", meaning left. Similar undesirable meanings adhere to words associated with left-handedness in dozens of languages.

A look through the folklore surrounding semi-mortal creatures, especially those deriving from Eastern Europe, turns up dozens of references to vampires, zombies, and ghouls of all types being left-handed (as we saw in Dracula).

The effects of these beliefs linger today. Many adult lefties were "turned" as children by institutions like the Catholic Church, which fought left-handedness in their schools, forcing natural lefties to write and function right-handed.

Of course left-handers are not in any way evil. Like anyone who is "different", lefties have historically been misunderstood; their differences have been characterized as negative across many cultures. Right-handers actually can't use their left hands, so they think lefties are slightly unnatural. In today's world, where differences are often valued rather than suspected, left-handedness can be an advantage.

At thelefthandstore.com, lefties can find products that work naturally for them. Lefties inhabit a right-handed world, and struggle in ways right-handers don't even suspect. Thelefthandstore.com is devoted to helping lefties of all ages live more comfortable and productive lives, and has the world's largest selection of left-handed tools and gifts. With stores in Pier 39 in San Francisco, The Marketplace at Downtown Disney in Walt Disney World, FL, and Old Town Kissimmee, FL.

Lefties can celebrate Halloween by following left-handed tradition; donning the scariest, most ghoulish costumes, then frightening poor righties with their gruesome looks and terrifying left-handed gestures.

BuyERP Provides Microsoft Dynamics Softwares and Allows LAD Solutions to Handle the Promotion

In today’s economy, having the right technology has never been more important for businesses. With more demands being put on smaller staffs, businesses are being forced to provide their employees the tools they need to be more efficient. For this reason, BuyERP has designed the first e-commerce site allowing companies to purchase software solutions, including the Microsoft Dynamics programs they need to compete. Now, they are partnering with LAD Solutions to help promote their unique offering to companies who need access to these programs.

BuyERP has created a unique business model that has allowed them to offer the highly demanded Microsoft Dynamics software programs like Dynamics GP at a deep discount. They have done this by reducing their overhead costs and limiting the number of staff members they keep on hand so that they can save money and keep their costs low for their customers. All products are downloadable directly from the site so businesses have access to the software they need in minutes. In the past, getting software and installing it has taken significantly longer, making this unique offering an important one to many companies.

BuyERP is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner. This means that they have demonstrated the expertise in their field according to Microsoft’s standards. They also have the experience needed to become a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and can provide the real world solutions businesses need in order to be successful. This is unique from other software vendors, who resell software with limited knowledge of how the products they are selling actually work. Microsoft Gold Certified Partners have access to the support team at Microsoft, so if the BuyERP customers ever have a problem with the products they purchase from the site, they can be confident that they will get a fast and accurate solution.

Now, LAD Solutions, a well-known Los Angeles-based online marketing firm, has partnered with BuyERP to help them promote this unique site. Their promotions will include ways to spread the word about the discounted prices and fast access available on the BuyERP website to various businesses that are in need of Microsoft Dynamics products. This will help these companies get the products they need faster and for less money, which is an important factor for many businesses struggling to keep up in the down economy. With the experience and expertise of the BuyERP team, businesses can get the technology they need to compete at a higher level for a fraction of the price.

Galileo Server Monitoring Tool to Showcase AIX and Linux Enhancements at IBM Power Conference

Galileo Performance Explorer™, a cloud-based performance monitoring tool created by the ATS Group, will demonstrate its versatility for server and storage analysis at the IBM Power Conference from Oct. 29 to Nov. 2, 2012, at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

New Galileo feature enhancements include Shared Ethernet Adapter (SEA) and Multiple Shared-Processor Pool (MSPP) support for AIX® and disk service times for Linux®. Additionally, Galileo has added AIX disk statistics for separating read/write service times, transfer sizes, and Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS).

Galileo provides deeper insight into server and storage performance than other tools—offering more analytical capabilities for proactive system management—so IT administrators can be more efficient in utilizing existing resources and more accurate at predicting and planning for future capacity needs.

Unlike reactive performance-monitoring tools designed to issue alarms in response to system overloads, Galileo helps to identify and prevent bottlenecks in the first place, with:
  • Deep perspectives that analyze server/storage operations more than a hundred ways.
  • Custom insights to create personalized dashboards with the most important metrics.
  • Immediate benefits from new system insights generated within minutes of installation.
  • Pinpoint precision of 5-minute granularity, to avoid data skewed by historical summaries.
  • Virtual frames for viewing consolidated workloads and workgroups.
  • Convenient cloud access to detailed graphical analysis from any browser window.
  • A carefree solution that eliminates the need for dedicated monitoring hardware/software.

Green Bikinis Make Saving the Earth Sexier at International Beauty Contest

American innovation from ECO SWIM by AQUA GREEN not only creates jobs in the USA but garners global attention due to its leading position in sustainable manufacturing. Produced in Easton, Pennsylvania, ECO SWIM by AQUA GREEN swimsuits made from recycled bottles and plastic bags prove that saving the planet can be sexy.

“Beauty pageants and bikinis naturally fit together,” said Sandra Davidoff, Director of Communications at ECO SWIM. “It only makes sense that Miss Earth reached out to us. We hope that our small steps will create a large ripple effect for future generations.”

The women will shine from the outside and within, choosing to grace the “green” carpet, modeling bikinis that are better for the planet. During the 2012 International Miss Earth Pageant, Ciara Walker, Zahida Begum, Sara Pendar, and Zoe Kinsella have all chosen to wear ECO SWIM by AQUA GREEN during their promotional tour. By choosing to wear ECO SWIM by AQUA GREEN, Miss Earth is diverting otherwise-wasted plastics from our landfills and oceans.

“The women of Miss Earth feel blessed and proud to be wearing ECO SWIM beachwear. They can not get over the fact that these very fashionable, glamorous, and luxury swimsuits are made from recycled plastic bags,” explains Louise Brown, UK Director of Miss Earth.

There is no better time to reach the pageant’s millions of viewers than now. A partnership with ECO SWIM by AQUA GREEN means contestants are able to educate the public on ways to reduce their carbon footprint.

“The partnership Miss Earth and ECO SWIM have is very special and celebrates the power of beauties for a cause. Following our motto "Green, Glam and Gorgeous", ECO SWIM allows the women to stand out and make a statement that green is glam," says Mrs. Brown.

ECO SWIM by AQUA GREEN was invited to partner with the UK contestants of Miss Earth due to its international growth and status as the leading eco-friendly swimsuit company in the market as well as the company’s parallel mission to protect and preserve our oceans.
