Dallas, TX (PRWEB) January 27, 2012

One Network Enterprises (ONE), a leading provider of demand driven supply chain solutions in the cloud, is introducing the markets first multi-party Demand Driven Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP), Financial Planning and Executive Analytics solution.

Organizations having implemented S&OP today continue to struggle with the limitations or traditional software applications and business processes that do not effectively plan sales and operations across organizations within the enterprise and across their trading partners.

ONEs demand-driven S&OP links S&OP plans to your multi-year strategic initiatives to account for the attainment of desired goals. Furthermore, it uses a single sales forecast at the forward most echelon to derive sales and marketing, distribution, production, procurement and financial plans. The single sales forecast can be shaped jointly with your partners providing a single version of the truth (SVOT) within the enterprise and across trading partners. Once the demand has been shaped and agreed upon the system generates order forecasts for each organization and each node in the multi-party, multi-echelon value network, including multi-tier raw material providers. Based on these orders forecasts, the system calculates distribution, transportation, production, and procurement plans, matches demand and supply, computes and bi-directionally propagates all capacity constraints, and synchronizes the plans for the entire network.

One Network has proven repeatedly that increased business agility is the key to achieving impressive results,” said Greg Brady, One Networks CEO.

CDW Depreciation Report Meets New Strata Regulatory Requirements

Posted on by
Reply

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) January 27, 2012

Carson Dobney Weldon (CDW) announced today the release of their enhanced Depreciation Report to help BC strata corporations meet new regulatory requirements. Regulation changes made under the Strata Property Act of British Columbia regarding Depreciation Reports came into effect on December 13, 2011. The new regulations require strata corporations to obtain these reports within 2 years and have the reports renewed every 3 years. CDWs enhanced Depreciation Report offering is fully compliant with the new regulatory requirements and allows strata corporations to easily and cost effectively meet requirements and be better prepared for future capital expenses.

James Dobney, President of Carson Dobney Weldon, commented that, Real estate sales will be affected by this new legislation. A Depreciation Report should be available to a prospective buyer. Purchasers will see the financial plan for the future of the property, reassuring them that future repairs have been anticipated and budgeted. Stratas without a Depreciation Report or with a report that does not meet the new regulations will be less appealing. Dobney further noted, The previous requirement of contributing to the contingency reserve fund based on the size of the operating budget was inadequate and left many stratas facing special assessments and lower real estate values. With a Depreciation Report meeting the regulatory requirements in hand, stratas will be in a much better financial position going forward.

Lending institutions can also benefit from the Depreciation Report as part of their mortgage approval process. Proof of a healthy and sound contingency reserve fund will ensure real estate transactions move smoothly.

Reno NV (PRWEB) January 26, 2012

Highly Reliable Systems, Reno NV announced that they are shipping a NAS with an integrated removable drive based on Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2008R2 Essentials. The “Workstation Backup Appliance” (WBA), has 2TB of deduped internal storage, along with Microsoft software to backup 25 Windows or Mac workstations.

Microsoft wrote the backup software for the WBA. said Tom Hoops, Chief Technology officer. The central console they created for this unit manages all the backups from a single location using a dashboard concept. The appliance runs a Windows Server OS, so it can join existing domains.” said Hoops. Multiple boxes can be ganged to support more than 25 workstations and server backup can be supported with 3rd party software. The appliance stores duplicate files (those that exist on multiple workstations) only once. The company says that this data deduplication ability means that data stored on 25 workstations will fit into much smaller backup space. The WBA has an optional 2TB removable drive tray that provides the appliance with self-backup capability (or additional storage), as well as a USB key used to boot downed workstations and connect them to the appliance over the network for rapid bare metal restore. “This is the only Windows Storage Server Essentials box that includes the ability to back itself up, which is critical for a business class NAS” said Hoops.

Darren McBride, the company CEO, says that although IT people often claim they dont allow users to store data locally, users do it anyway and even if they dont, the ability to recover workstations quickly when corruption or viruses hit is a big time saver. McBride explained that a simple piece of service software called the Microsoft connector is installed using the IE browser to each workstation, and once configured backups are queued and processed sequentially so that scheduling is centralized and simplified. Progress can be monitored via a single dashboard and the Microsoft software has the ability to do continuous incremental protection, which means nightly backups occur quickly. Efficient version retention also allows users to go back 6 months or more to retrieve old versions of files. Add-ins are available from third party developers to extend Windows Storage Server Functionality.

Pricing on the 2TB WBA is $ 899 MSRP. Additional removable 2TB drives in fully protected and transportable aluminum trays are available. For more information visit http://www.high-rely.com or call 775-329-5139.

Posted on by

Costa Rica (PRWEB) January 27, 2012

There seems to be no shortage of yoga studios in highly populated urban centers these days, but the demand for yoga studios and yoga teachers in rural areas is on the rise. The popularity and fashionableness of yoga has been growing over the past 2 decades and is now penetrating areas of the United States and Canada that had never heard of the term downward dog until recently. Future yoga teachers that live more rural areas are seeking out Yoga Schools to receive their yoga teacher training certification, and students from urban hubs are looking for a place to escape the city in order to completely immerse themselves. Because of the astounding response Anamaya Resort in Costa Rica experienced to their Yoga Teacher Trainings they had to make a decision to dedicate 6 months out of the year strictly to Yoga Teacher Trainings for 2012. Co-owner and Vice President of Anamaya, Kelsey Matheson said, Everyone at Anamaya is delighted about the overwhelmingly positive response we have had to our Yoga Teacher Trainings. Not only are we increasing the number of trainings we have this year but weve had to expand and build three new cabinas.

Anamayas teacher training instructors have created different training programs that allow students to choose the program that best suits their needs. Jackie Chiodos teacher training is a month dedicated to the entire ideology of yoga combining practice, lecture and discussion. Jackie also spends time on texts, ancient teachings, and how these studies can be applied to modern life and becoming a yoga teacher. Cain Carrolls program is deeply rooted in the study of yoga, yogic texts, anatomy, nutrition and therapeutic utilization’s. Both teacher trainings stress that there is a huge element of self-discovery during the programs and are truly life changing.

A very unique feature of the yoga teacher certification packages that Anamaya has to offer is that their prices include both accommodations and three organic meals per day. The meals are carefully prepared and cater to vegetarians, vegans, gluten free, dairy free, sugar free but also can include chicken or fish as per the guests desires and needs. Yes, these meals are incredibly healthy but are also absolutely delicious. Guests feel like they are given a true culinary experience without sacrificing their health. Additional perks also include beach excursions, fire-dance performances, and a few special outings during the month of training in Costa Rica. Anamaya Resort is dedicated to the health and wellness of the mind, the body and the spirit and that philosophy is infused in all areas of operation for the retreat center. They incorporate Green building practices, environmentally friendly cleaning policies, and sustainable principles overall.

Yoga Teacher Trainings have become a large part of Anamayas focus but they still offer weekly yoga and surf retreats as well. A week of yoga, adventure, sun, surf, and sand all taking place in a beautiful paradise. Everyone is raving about Anamaya on Facebook, Twitter and on Trip Advisor. It seems to be a very special place that is constantly evolving in order to cater to their guests needs.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 27, 2012

Ken DelConte, writer/actor/director/film producer, has now branched out by producing a musical play QUILL AND INK. The 16th Century period piece is a takeoff on the young Will Shakespeare, affectionately known as Will the Shakes. This Broadway-type musical, DelContes QUILL AND INK, will debut at the legendary Pan Andreas Theater on March 9th.

This original musical will not only delight audiences with it’s dialogue-ish songs such as “Medival Rap,” “Plea from Will’s Wife,” and “Ode to Iago,” but it will give an amusing and entertaining understanding of a young William Shakespeare aka Will the Shakes.

The producer commented on how his comedic musical came about. He wrote the play WILL IS DEAD and had a reading at the Pan Andreas Theatre. It ran wayyy too long: 2 hours 10 minutes. He knew he had to cut quite a bit.

But George Pan Andreas, the theatre owner, came up to him, put his huge bear arms around Ken and said, Ken, I loved the play. God sent you to me. Ken considered turning the play into a musical. George responded with his eyes lit up, I looove musicals!

Two months later, with over twenty songs written, 40 minutes trimmed out of the dialogueand a title change to QUILL AND INK, an original musical or comedy with songs was penned. Voila! The parts have been cast and there are a little over thirty days until QUILL AND INK opens the second week in March. Yes, time marches on.

About the Writer/Actor/Director/Film Producer

DelConte produced and directed a variety of films, one of which is SUNSPLIT, a critically acclaimed drama about a serial killer, as well as other feature films, such as INNOCENCE and

DEATH CALLS.

He has also appeared as an actor in many feature films where he has portrayed a variety of charactersfrom leading man Shandor Costas in SUNSPLIT, the crooked Sheriff in DEATH CALLS, Loch Riccano in the film THE YOUNG RUNAWAYS with Patty McCormack, an Indian Brave in THE DANIEL BOONE SHOW, and the claim jumper in DEATH VALLEY DAYS.

Its 3D all the way for Escapade fancy dress: the retailer launches new costumes to celebrate the release of Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace

Posted on by

Brighton, UK (PRWEB UK) 27 January 2012

Around the world, Star Wars fans are eagerly anticipating the staged release of the phenomenally successful space series in 3D. The first film to receive the 3D treatment, Episode 1 The Phantom Menace, is due out in February and, as international trailers are posted on fan sites, online forums and message boards are buzzing with excitement.

Supporting industries are also optimistic about the launch, with new action figures, costumes, games and posters being snapped up by fans. London-based Escapade, who stock collectors costumes, deluxe costumes and accessories in their range of Star Wars fancy dress, are seeing an upturn in sales for their childrens costumes. Director Bhupendra Maisuria believes this is because the release of the films in 3D some 35 years after the original Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope hit cinema screens in 1977 will bring the epic adventures of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and their battles with the dark side of the Force to a whole new generation.

With George Lucas reportedly waiting until enough cinemas could support 3D, new, younger fans will be able to watch the saga unfold over the next five years.

At Escapade we are huge fans of the Star Wars saga, from the classic old films to the exciting brand new releases and to prove it we are proud to boast the UKs biggest collection of Star Wars fancy dress, said Bhupendra. Our Star Wars range also features costumes for adults and children that cant be found anywhere else in the UK.

Among the new-for-2012 Star Wars themed childrens fancy dress outfits are the Savage Opress costume, the deluxe Chewbacca costume, the Jawa costume and, or course, the Stormtrooper costume. And grown-up fans might fancy donning one of the new Emperors Royal Guard, Darth Maul or Shadow Trooper costumes.

As well as stocking up on new costumes, Escapade are celebrating the upcoming film release with a competition to win two rather covetable prizes. Hosted by UK film release and gaming site heyuguys.co.uk, the competition features a deluxe Darth Vader costume (complete with full head helmet and light saber) and a collectors edition Stormtrooper helmet. It will run until 30 January, so there are still a few days to enter! Go to http://www.heyuguys.co.uk/category/competitions for more information.
