Many people invest a lot of time and money in a positive presentation of themselves, by going to the gym, dressing well and spending money on beauty and grooming products and the only thing neglected is the voice. This seems a little hit and miss especially when the first sentence we speak is so important to the impression we make on another person.

The app A better speaker is a tool for everyone who wants to learn where the voice sits and how to use the voice to its full potential. If an important interview or examination is on the cards this app can help to improve technique and breath control.

Actors, voice-over artists, translators, teachers, people in management positions all know of the importance of clear and correct speech. They take lessons, visit vocal therapists or use many of the varied exercises to get their voice into shape. This app is an aid for pros too – to recap or to learn anew – a whole collection of fascinating and important tips to improve and optimize the voice and vocal technique. Apps2Go has worked with professionals who can count on many years of combined experience to be most the effective for everybodys vocal needs.

Jonathan Agar – voice-over artist, author and translator – has compiled an extensive collection of well-proven exercises especially for this app and with Jonathan Tilley, a voice-over artist with many years of professional experience providing the voice to lead the user through the app, no questions remain unanswered.

A better speaker: Vocal exercises to improve pronunciation

Books with accompanying CDs were the means to an end yesterday. Today A better speaker has it all: written tips, voiced examples and photos to guide through the entire course.

The basic package that is included in the first section has the first 11 of 110 exercises that make up the complete product. The importance of posture, voice, breathing and articulation are at the center of this first chapter. Each exercise prepares and leads into the next so that the user will notice the seeds of success beginning to grow in no time at all. The mutterer of yesterday can say a loud and clear Hello to the confident and well-spoken speaker of today. Exercises to relax the knees, deep and shallow breathing and improving resonance in the voice will quickly and surely lighten the way.

The demonstrations also show the user that for example not only the soul and the body need to be loose and ready to talk, but the mouth and tongue too. How to do this as well as many other exercises are shown within the app in glorious detail!

Having fun is central to the authors philosophy and there is plenty to be had, especially with the use of tongue-twisters such as Thirty-three thousand thugs This particular one is to practice the TH sound – and there is even a built in record function to take down and control the own progress.

Jonathan Agar: The biggest challenge for me was to make the exercises as effective and complete as possible and yet keep the fun aspect to aid learning. Speaking well can be fun to learn and fun to do – and I am sure that we have managed that with this app.

Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson and a global leader in maximizing availability, capacity and efficiency of critical infrastructure, today announced the global availability of the first four software applications in the Trellis platform. Working with the previously released Avocent Universal Management Gateway, the Trellis software applications deliver real-time infrastructure optimization that enables up to 70 percent improved operational efficiency and 25 percent improved energy efficiency.

These efficiencies can be realized because, for the first time, data center managers have all the management capabilities they need in one solution and one location, eliminating duplicate processes and the need to link together disparate, proprietary systems before a complete picture of IT and facilities devices and performance can be gained.    

Emerson Network Powers expertise in all aspects of critical infrastructure makes it possible for the Trellis platform to operate intelligently fully accounting for and building a communications bridge between IT and facilities equipment, processes and operations. Data center managers now have a solution that supports the way they work instead of having to manage around the information gaps between IT and facilities systems. By giving them real-time visibility into the entire data centers performance, rather than segmented parts, the Trellis platform enables smarter, faster decisions that maximize data center availability, efficiency and capacity.

In addition, because the intelligence-gathering appliance and software applications share the underlying platform, the applications build on one another, allowing capabilities to be added rapidly to adapt to change and prepare for the future. This means investment in the Trellis platform will go farther than with any other DCIM solution currently available, and total cost of ownership will be lower.

Several Emerson Network Power customers, including Infosys, have tested the Trellis platform. Infosys is committed to building environmentally sustainable solutions for our clients enterprises, said Ankush Patel, Infosys vice president of sustainability. With our deep experience in sustainability and data centers, we see the need for systems that excel in both energy efficiency and performance. The Emerson Network Power Trellis platform is installed in our Bangalore data center as part of the Trellis Early Adopters Program. It shows great promise in being able to continuously monitor critical systems and predict potential issues in a cost- and energy- efficient manner.

Regarding functionality, The Trellis platform is going to be a comprehensive and powerful system, said Andy Lawrence, research vice president for Datacenter Technology at 451 Research. The system design and architecture, all based on real-time data, are unlike anything on the market today, and should be both flexible and highly scalable.

One of the more impressive features of the Trellis platform is that it has been designed and engineered with ease of use and simplicity in mind the designers have paid a lot of attention to how datacenter personnel work. The information required to manage the data center is presented in context of the operation, which should be intuitive and increase productivity, added Lawrence.

Trellis software applications now available are:

Trellis Inventory Manager provides data center management with the foundation for an accurate and complete model of its data centers globally, the knowledge of where devices and equipment are located, the relationship between these components, and what resources are being used by data center equipment.
Trellis Site Manager reports the health of the infrastructure including environmental conditions to data center personnel, enabling them to recognize and resolve conditions that impact infrastructure availability and system performance.
Trellis Change Planner works together with Trellis Inventory Manager to ensure that accurate and consistent information is utilized. Assures that installs, moves and decommissions of equipment are planned, tracked and communicated to team members in a consistent manner. This minimizes the impact of changes on the quality of services delivered and streamlines operations.
Trellis Energy Insight calculates total data center energy consumption, electrical costs and power usage effectiveness (PUE)/data center infrastructure efficiency (DCiE) value. Having this information at their fingertips allows data center managers to understand how infrastructure changes impact energy efficiency and, subsequently, the bottom line.

This first release includes capabilities in four of the core components in the 451 Groups DCIM Capability definition, providing data center operators with a strong DCIM foundation.

The Trellis platform ends compartmental decision-making so data center professionals can optimize every aspect of their critical infrastructure operations, said Steve Hassell, president of the Avocent business of Emerson Network Power. The result is a new level of data center performance that makes it possible to achieve the high availability, operational efficiency and the agility to meet business demands.

Also, since the growth of the Smartphone, consumers are constantly searching for local businesses on the go. According to Mintel, 55% of all internet users research products online before making a purchase. Small businesses without websites are likely to lose business to competitors with websites.

Traditional media costs vs. online costs:

Small businesses and entrepreneurs benefit from the inexpensive cost of communicating through a website. A website provides the ability to keep product and service information up-to-date instantly at no additional cost. This is a cheaper alternative to production costs of leaflets and catalogues found in traditional media.

Reluctance to get online:

Despite the benefits of having an online presence many small businesses do not have a website. According to Marketing Pilgrim, in 2009, 44% of small businesses still didnt have a website.

The main issue small businesses and entrepreneurs face is the perception of needing technical skills to create a website. There is also a misconception of needing to spend money on a web designer and huge amounts of time to set up and maintain a website.

Affordable and simple:

The costs involved in getting online are lower than people think. Easily.co.uk is offering small businesses and entrepreneurs a website solution which includes a years registration of a .com or .net, website creator, web hosting and two email accounts for £35 a year.

The appeal of this solution is that users do not need to be experts in coding or design to put together a professional-looking website. It features designs for over 100 business sectors which can be customised with a logo and brand colours. Text and images can be uploaded and published in minutes.

The website name can either end in .com or .net. .com is a key top-level domain for growing and established businesses to have a credible and trusted online identity. It is ideal in kick-starting an online presence for an offline business. .net is the top-level domain of choice for entrepreneurs looking to launch ideas into reality.

To ensure a full online presence, two email accounts are included for users to create personalised email addresses. This lets small businesses and entrepreneurs stand out from the competition with their own branded you@yourdomain.com email address.

Safe from online threats:

In this digital age, cyber crime, malware and other online threats are serious issues faced by website owners. A study by Ofcom found that around three in ten users have suffered from a virus in the last 12 months and a similar number receiving unsolicited emails encouraging them to enter personal information.

Easily.co.uk keeps websites secure by carrying out daily server backups, automatics updates and firewall updates. Email accounts are hosted on a highly secure email platform featuring powerful built-in anti-spam and anti-virus tools.

An advertiser in the overhead door vertical could be marketing to consumers for residential garage doors or to businesses for a wide range of doors systems that are required by industrial and commercial buildings.

One of the leading property management companies in the Southeast, with more than 18,000 units under management, Atlanta-based Condominium Concepts Management, http://www.condominiumconcepts.com, is now expanding into the single family HOA management arena. According to Darlys Walker, CEO of Condominium Concepts, the firms business model continues to evolve based on demand. We are experiencing unprecedented growth in HOA management based on our experience and level of services, she pointed out. Today, home owner associations are striving for accurate and timely financial reporting and a commitment to responsiveness. We have dedicated our business to providing those services and the specialized team to facilitate it.    

Heading up the HOA Management Division will be Regional Vice President, Kim Kimura. A ten-year veteran of CCM, Ms. Kimuras experience is highlighted by her leadership abilities and an established back ground in virtually all areas of property management including staffing, operations, contract negotiations, budgeting, declaration amendments and problem solving.

Tony Valentino recently has joined the Condominium Concepts Management as Director of Sales & Marketing of the new division. Valentino brings 20 years of real estate experience, including sales, property management, new construction, renovation and maintenance oversight. He is experienced in the complexities of reserve studies, as well as building systems, mechanical equipment and safety procedures. His background includes all facets of residential properties as well as commercial development and a demonstrated talent to work hand in hand with owners, board members, staff and peers in the achievement of goals.

The new division will operate throughout the Southeastern United States, with active management contracts currently in Central Florida and Georgia.

Ms. Walker emphasized that professionalism coupled with depth of experience of the CCM organization are significant factors in firms growth.    We have a committed team headed up by key individuals that have joined us over the years from Florida, Tennessee and South Carolina, as well as the Atlanta market. They all have excellent credentials and solid management expertise in key cities, and are keenly aware of the nuances that define each market. She stated. This superior team combines with our continually evolving management practices and programs, designed to address ever-changing market conditions, allowing us to stay ahead of our competition.

According to Ms. Walker, it is the firms ability to adapt the ever-changing market coupled with their thorough due diligence on a property that has enabled the firms growth and increased stature in the industry. We do our homework prior to submitting a proposal. We visit the property, assess their current situation, review all the financials and truly understand the personality of the property and ownership whether it be a rental property or a homeowners association, she stated.
