Through the VoiParty unique network architecture you can plug into this revenue stream by simply connecting your home phone and internet to our VoiParty Connection device. This is a home based business opportunity unlike anything ever seen before.

USA, December 14, 2009 — I think we can all agree that most new business opportunities, especially Pre Launch Network Marketing opportunities are worthless as the company or person promoting the business is selling a lot of hype and hysteria looking to sell you on their next big product launch. Then once they’ve got you hooked they hit you with all kinds of hidden fees and monthly recurring charges while continuing to lead you by the nose with hype and misdirection.

However, once in a while a really unique and dynamic Business Opportunity unexpectedly appears that rises above all the others. It is my pleasure to present what I believe to be one the most unique and lucrative home business opportunity‘s ever seen. Right now, this proprietary technology being offered by VoiParty is available during Pre Launch by Invitation Only to residents of the USA and Canada.

The founders of VoiParty have ingeniously developed proprietary software and hardware that taps into the existing multi-billion dollar a year telecommunications industry by providing termination of Long Distance Call services for far less cost than any other Interexchange Carrier currently in the telecommunications industry.

First, let’s talk about how VoiParty differs from all the other new business opportunities.  First, the ONLY cost to become a member of the VoiParty network is a One-Time Investment of $200.00 and a $29.00 per year annual member renewal fee, period. That’s it, that’s all. There are NO hidden fees, NO monthly minimum volume, and NO monthly recurring fees.

Also, as a VoiParty Member you are not required to sell a product or service over and over or month after month to maintain your position. And VoiParty will only give you straight talk and straight answers instead of hype and misdirection.

VoiParty is now positioned for staggering growth. How do they plan to do this? It’s really quite simple; they use the existing infrastructure of your home and mine to route calls creating a low cost routing method for 100 Billion minutes of calls per month.

Due to Least Cost Routing Industry standards the VoiParty network will capture a minimum of 15% of that every month. The best part is that 70% of VoiParty ‘s income will be paid to the members that make up the actual network.

That means that you could get a share of the $80 to $120 million dollars per month simply by plugging into the network. That’s right – VoiParty will pay you a permanent Residual Passive income just for helping us grow the network.

VoiParty is Seeking qualified sales reps to promote the world’s first P2P IXC Global carrier. IXC (Inter Exchange Communications) is a global wholesale telecommunications industry that generates billions of dollars per month in the USA alone. Up until now this revenue stream, invisible and inaccessible to retail consumers in the past, has been controlled by major telecommunications corporations.

VoiParty now gives you an opportunity to plug into this abundant cash flow and create direct sales income as well as passive residual income

VoiParty has opened the flood gates! December will be the last month for anyone interested in the most unique home business opportunity in years. Position your self in the VoiParty Network before the official National Launch in January, 2010.  Since the first KickOff meeting in September, VoiParty has experienced a 50% growth rate and has expanded into 33 states!

The key to any home business opportunity is Timing – becoming a part of a Ground Floor Opportunity before the growth curve begins! VoiParty is still in Pre_Launch, the early phase of the growth curve.

At this point, this is my opinion and information ONLY and I would encourage you to please do your own due diligence and research about VoiParty to make an educated decision as to what you feel is right for you.

Peter Jones dubbed it the “best invention I’ve seen on Dragons’ Den”; the inventor made history by having all five Dragons falling over themselves trying to invest, and this Christmas trueCall is set to take the consumer technology market by storm!

Peter Jones with trueCall

Fans of the popular BBC show ‘Dragons’ Den’ will already be familiar with trueCall, the ‘life altering’ device that allows the user to screen their phonecalls after witnessing entrepreneur Steve Smith making history by igniting the flames of all five Dragons as they battled to invest in his invention. Eventually Steve accepted the bid of telecoms, media and property tycoon Peter Jones for the smallest equity he has ever taken on the show – a 12.5% stake.

“It’s the best invention I’ve seen in 7 series’ of Dragons’ Den – I honestly believe this ground-breaking device will kill off the curse of the cold call which brings misery to so many people” – Peter Jones

Recorded message calls, sales calls, market research calls, malicious calls, silent calls and fax attacks -anyone unfortunate enough to have their personal details fall into the wrong hands is only too aware of the impact on their home life.

trueCall acts as a buffer between the phone and the outside world and learns to distinguish between welcome and unwelcome callers (by an intuitive ‘star’ and ‘zap’ feature). trueCall intercepts all unknown numbers to the user’s landline answering the call and asks the caller to say their name, only then does it ring the phone and tells the householder who is calling. If the caller’s number is on a “zap list” – numbers of telemarketers or other nuisance callers – the device answers it, and all future calls from that number, with an automated message which means the phone does not ring at all.

Multi award winning trueCall was developed in the UK, and is the first product of its type in the World!

Now is the time to regain control of your phoneline.

trueCall offers complete peace of mind with a once stop solution making it the ideal Christmas gift for family, friends or anyone who has found themselves on the receiving end of the tirade.

The trueCall device costs £97.50 from the trueCall website www.truecall.co.uk, Amazon.co.uk, the BT Online shop, the QVC Home Shopping Channel and from selected John Lewis stores.

Nanophotonics is born out of the combination of three major sciences: photonics, nanotechnology, and optoelectronics. While photonics and optoelectronics have revolutionized the electronics and semiconductors market, nanotechnology has the greatest potential for further improvement, and hence has emerged as the most sought-after technology by big companies and research laboratories. In spite of it being in the nascent stage, nanophotonics is expected to make it to the mainstream market owing to its higher power efficiency, thermal resistivity, and operational life.

The nanophotonic component market is growing at a robust rate for the last few years and is expected to maintain a very high CAGR for the next few years. The market is expected to reach US$3.6 billion in 2014 at a CAGR of 100.7% from 2009 to 2014 and a similar growth pattern can be expected for the nanophotonics devices market as well. This market is expected to grow from a current market size of US$1.8 billion to US$58 billion in 2014.

Though most of the nanophotonic products are still under research, the available products such as nanophotonic LEDs, nanophotonic PV cells, nanophotonic OLEDs have been very successful in the market. Nanophotonic LEDs has the largest market share of US$106 million in 2009. However, considering the pace of progress in various other segments like near-field-optics, optical amplifiers, optical switches and holographic memory, it can be safely ascertained that holographic memory and optical switches are expected to have the highest growth rate in the next five years. Nanophotonic LEDs will still continue to be largest segment albeit with a slow growth rate.

In the nanophotonic LED market, the high beam LED has the highest market share followed by UV LED. In the fastest growing market of optical amplifiers, it is the optical fiber amplifier that commands the highest CAGR in the period 2009 to 2014 followed by semiconductor amplifiers. HDSS is also expected to grow with a CAGR comparable to that of optical amplifiers. OLED is estimated to be the slowest growing market. Lowering production costs and improving operational efficiencies would ensure opening of new opportunities for the nanophotonics market.

The market is very concentrated with only the market leaders like Osram, IBM, Samsung SDI, JDSU, etc doing extensive research in nanophotonics but as most of the application areas are related to electronics, this market is expected to attract a large number of players that would in turn increase the degree of competition.

Growth of Nanophotonic Products from 2009 – 2014

The graph indicates the forecasted growth rate of nanophotonics products from the year 2009 to 2014. The optical amplifiers are expected to grow at the maximum growth rate followed by the HDSS devices. The growth in the nanophotonics market is primarily due to the increasing demand from the Asian countries.

The key players in the nanophotonics component market are working at developing new products by forging strategic alliances with renowned universities, research laboratories and nanomaterial companies. These developments are focused on improving the operational parameters for the nanophotonic devices and grab the early mover’s advantages in the market.

Our patent analysis indicates that the U.S. has filed the highest number of patent applications in nanophotonics since 2006 followed by Europe. In the products category, nanophotonic LED accounts for the highest number of patents followed by nanostructures while OLED accounts for the lowest number.

52% of American workers admit to searching the internet for information about their colleagues and managers; hoping to find some juicy gossip to spread around the office.

A study of 1,092 American workers, commissioned by Yasni people search, has revealed that 52% admit to searching online for their colleagues’ and managers’ social networking pages, blogs they have commented on and forums they are members of, in the hope of finding out some hidden secrets about those they work with.

By searching on social networking sites, forums and blogs, Americans are able to find pictures, comments or status updates that may give a deeper insight into their fellow workers and management. This may ultimately lead to better relationships within the workplace, as people will know who they share similar interests with and how to strike up a conversation that will truly impress the boss.

For searches like this, Yasni reveals accurate results; checking a person simultaneously on more than 100 online sources within seconds and collating the most relevant information.

Andy Barr, CCO of Yasni had the following to say;

“The statistics represent how U.S. people are benefitting from the services Yasni has to offer. More than half of employees have the advantage of knowing what their manager likes to do in their spare time and what better way to impress your boss than to show an interest in their favourite hobby?

“However, we are also highlighting the importance of checking your own online reputation as there have been incidents across the world whereby members of staff have been disciplined and even sacked for writing inappropriate comments about fellow members of staff, phoning in sick and then uploading photos of a wild night out or just updating their social networking status throughout the day, when they should be working.

“As we always stress, it is important for people to remember that social networking is just that; ‘social’. Therefore all information should be used intelligently and with discretion.”

Through opinion exchanges and technology exhibitions, ITRI is looking forward to searching for cooperative partners to create win-win opportunities for international cooperation.

The ITRI Forum 2009 and Career Fair explored the theme of Technology Innovations after the Storm. ITRI’s President, Dr. Johnsee Lee, commented that the world economy this year has suffered from the financial tsunami. As a result, governments throughout the world are increasing expenditures on public infrastructure projects to not only generate jobs, but also create the pillars for a better lifestyle. The Taiwan government has recently been aggressively promoting the opportunities of six emerging industries. ITRI is working in tandem with the government to hasten the takeoff of the green energy and biotech industries. ITRI has moved forward the project calling for 160,000 Electric Vehicles (EV), the Rapid Prototyping Center (RPC) for medical devices, and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI).

The main objective of creating the Rapid Prototyping Center for medical devices is to provide a platform to integrate clinical research and engineering technology, and offer a comprehensive mechanism to develop and test prototypes, protect intellectual property and commercialize products. Dr. Lee furthermore explained that ITRI will help to bridge commercial enterprises and intellectual property teams, thereby transferring technology to manufacturers, enabling them to have access to internationally advanced technologies. Meanwhile, ITRI has also proposed to develop Advanced Metering Infrastructure. Distributed energy management software will provide the means to distribute and use energy sources in the most efficient manner to provide energy consumption data on a real-time basis, creating a win-win situation for environmental protection and the economy.

Besides, a 60-member strong delegation comprised of representatives from Taiwan’s industrial, academic, research and government sectors is taking part in the 2009 BIO International Convention, the annual global biotech event that this year is being held in Atlanta, Georgia. The Taiwan delegation and local experts on May 18 jointly held the 2009 Country Seminar on Taiwan’s Biotech.

Setting up and controlling web conferences has never been easier thanks to the TurboMeeting appliance from RHUB, a device that will give any SaaS conferencing solution a run for its money, while adding remote control, remote access and remote support to the mix.

Web Conferencing has become one of those business tools that most cannot live without, and the market has grown in leaps and bounds as more SaaS providers have gotten involved. Big names like WebEx, GoToMeeting and Microsoft Office Live Meeting have come to dominate the market with subscription-based services. While SaaS subscriptions are a great way to get started, many are finding out that the costs quickly escalate as web conferencing becomes more popular among the business’s users.

RHUB Communications aims to solve that escalating cost problem with the TurboMeeting series of conferencing appliances, which not only brings web conferencing services in house, but also adds remote support, remote control and remote access technologies.

The idea behind the TurboMeeting appliance is to eliminate the need for external subscription-based web communication services and to move all of those capabilities into an on-premise device. Simply put, TurboMeeting is a hardware-based solution that acts like a server for the applications that enable conferencing, remote support and other peer-to-peer or one-to-many connections.

RHUB Communications offers several models of the TurboMeeting appliance, starting with the entry level TM-200 for just $995, which offers two meeting rooms and 10 concurrent users. The TM-200 is ideal for the SMB market looking to jump on the web conferencing bandwagon. The company also offers the TM-500, the TM-800 and the TM-1000, which offer more meeting rooms and concurrent user counts. The feature set is virtually identical in all the devices, with differences in processing power and user counts being the only real differences. The TM-1000 offers 50 meeting rooms and can support 200 concurrent users, making it a good fit for a larger enterprise.

To compete with a SaaS offering, RHUB had to make sure that the TurboMeeting appliance was both easy to deploy and easy to use, as well as capable of supporting numerous configuration scenarios. The unit can be configured for connectivity in a number of ways. Solution providers can set the device up behind the corporate firewall for both internal and external access. The device can also use static or dynamic IP addresses and can be linked to a corporate web page.

For smaller networks, the support of Dynamic IP addressing is very important because many ISPs don’t offer a static IP address to smaller customers. Here, the TurboMeeting appliance relies on a dynamic DNS service to associate a URL with the public IP address. The company has built in a client for DyDNS.COM, a popular dynamic DNS provider that offers basic support for free.

By default, the device uses ports 80 and 443 for communication. Administrators can setup port redirects or select different ports if necessary, but that does complicate the setup process.

Basic setup of the unit is very simple, consisting of little more than plugging the device into a DHCP enabled network and logging into the administration console for the first time.

The web-based administrative console is very simple — almost too simple, in fact. Those looking for fancy dashboards, setup wizards and drill down capabilities will be disappointed. Administration of the product is kept purposely simple, allowing access to only basic network settings, user account information. The simplicity is appreciated, but the look and feel of the management console has a decidedly amateur feel to it.

For more complex setups, administrators will probably have to rely on modifying their web servers or firewalls to accommodate anything custom. Ideally, the corporate web server could be setup as the primary interface for the user by incorporating hyperlinks that target the features of the device. Otherwise, users will have to rely on the very basic interface offered by the device. Luckily that interface offers three simple options, join a meeting, host a meeting or conference server management – making it highly unlikely that a user would ever be confused as to what to do.

The product works by “pushing” a client application down to the PC, very similar to what WebEX or GoToMeeting does. Once that client application is up and running, all activity takes place via the client application, which integrates into the user’s web browser. For the most part, everything is automatic.

Setting up meetings proves to be simple, where the host will schedule a date and time and then assign a password to the meeting. An email invitation can be automatically generated, which provides participants with an embedded link to launch a meeting. Meeting controls are straightforward, making it easy to launch presentations, share desktops and perform most any task related to a web meeting.

Many users will find it easier to use the TurboMeeting appliance than competing SaaS offerings, which is a real testament to the simplicity designed into the product.

A nice touch is the inclusion of a free conference call number, which can be embedded into the email invitations. That included service eliminates the need to integrate VoIP or other phone technologies into the device. Of course, administrators can use their in house PBX for the audio portion of a web conference, but it is probably not worth the effort required when one considers how easy it is to use the free conferencing service that is included.

RHUB Communications offers a very basic channel program with distribution taking place through D&H, Neobits and Crossover Distribution.com. Margins are in the 20 percent range and the company does offer a private label/OEM program for partners wishing to self brand. Partners also have access to development APIs, which can be used for various integration scenarios and customization. Partners will probably realize their greatest profits from incorporating custom solutions and integrating the product into CRM, Help Desk or other customer or sales support services

Many technology companies are increasingly looking to the resilient public sector to drive sales in the current economic climate according to technology demand management specialist, X-Sellerant.

Commenting on this trend, Stuart Tandy, Commercial Director said: “With the credit crunch having an impact right across the corporate world, technology companies are realising that the public sector is perhaps the most viable sector in which to focus their sales efforts in these difficult times.”

But that’s where the problem starts for many technology companies that have, historically, focused on the corporate sector. Tandy continued: “Recognising that budgets are a little more resilient across the public sector, technology companies wish to replicate their success in the corporate market but many are lacking public sector market intelligence.” That’s where X-Sellerant can help.

“As a niche specialist, X-Sellerant is uniquely placed to help these technology companies. Our pipeline generation service expertly identifies demand for a product or service within an agreed public sector target audience and then delivers suitable, qualified appointments for the client’s sales team to pursue, nurture and close, on a pay for performance model.

We operate as an integral part of the client’s sales & marketing team rather than an outsourced telemarketing company, with a focus on generating firm, quality appointments that meet the client’s specific criteria with key decision makers.”

Technology changes rapidly so many technology companies typically have short windows of opportunity or are competing in early-stage technology markets and as such need to maximise revenues before products or services become obsolete or competitors gain a foot-hold in the market. In many cases this can lead to a company’s in-house telemarketing team seeking out only hot leads rather than nurturing relationships. And with sales directors under more pressure than ever from shareholders to grow their business efficiently and effectively, X-Sellerant understands that their clients want to get the biggest bang for their lead generation buck.

“People are becoming more and more frustrated spending their lead generation budget on ‘per day’ telemarketing campaigns conducted by agencies with little or no understanding of the industry and their unique value proposition. It’s all about quantifying a return on their investment. When clients work with us, they know that our people are experienced across the IT discipline and can engage in meaningful conversation with key buyers and decision makers. And they only pay for fulfilled appointments, no up-front fees, no retainers, nothing!”

Rockleigh, New Jersey – Crestron has become a member of the EMerge Alliance to contribute its expertise in delivering fully integrated solutions that manage and control disparate building systems intelligently and efficiently. Creating a new standard for integrating commercial building infrastructures, power, controls and a wide variety of systems on a common platform is a key mission of EMerge. The development of this new commercial technology standard will also lay the groundwork for future innovations in energy-efficient and individually controllable devices, such as LED lighting.

Today’s workplace is dominated by fixed wiring, making upgrades and retrofits complicated and costly. The demand for more flexible power distribution and device control solutions has focused the Alliance on the adoption of low-voltage DC power, which simplifies the installation of lighting fixtures and other devices. A safer and more flexible solution than line-voltage AC, DC power is ideally suited for integration into the ceiling plane, enabling facility managers to arrange and rearrange lighting, sensors, actuators, and other devices without rewiring.

Through seamless integration of solar, wind and other new energy sources, and interior electrical loads such as lighting and controls, EMerge is committed to making commercial buildings more flexible, energy efficient and sustainable than ever before. As the global leader of low-voltage integrated systems, Crestron provides wired and wireless solutions for environmental and device control that will help make the EMerge vision a reality.

“The commercial marketplace continues to recognize the importance of going green, and it’s a process that requires sophisticated systems integration,” said Steve Samson, Director of Business Development, Crestron Electronics, Inc. “We are pleased to be part of an initiative that endorses integrated technologies that maximize opportunities to conserve energy and promote sustainability in commercial building interiors.”

ROSS, California – December 10, 2008: At a time when most companies are downsizing or simply cutting back, Consort Partners (www.consortpartners.com) is doing the unthinkable: they’re expanding.

Consort, an international strategic public relations and marketing consultancy, has further enhanced its team by hiring Mark de la Viña, a staff writer, podcaster, videocaster and blogger for the San Jose Mercury News. This somewhat unconventional hire – just weeks ago, Mark was fielding pitches rather than crafting them – demonstrates that Consort is adopting innovative ways of enhancing its services.

“We’re expanding at a time when other people are contracting,” says Consort co-founder Dominic Johnson. “Hiring Mark will help us deepen relationships and strengthen connections with the journalistic field.”

In his 20-year career, Mark has worked with major metropolitan daily newspapers, including the Philadelphia Daily News and the Orange County Register. His articles, which have appeared in the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, American Demographics, In Style and Latina, have inspired the names of at least two punk rock groups. Since 2003, Mark has tutored at 826 Valencia, a writing center established by Dave Eggers in San Francisco’s Mission District. Mark stands firmly in his belief that rice in burritos is a sin against nature.

“I get to use much of the same skill set I developed as a daily journalist,” Mark says. “At the same time, I’ve always tried to approach journalism in a variety of ways, whether by writing up a package of stories or shooting a one-on-one video interview. Consort is constantly looking for new ways to communicate, and I’m excited to be able to utilize my experience and contacts on behalf of our clients.”

About Consort Partners

Founded in 2004, Consort Partners is an independent PR and marketing agency focused on the technology and media sectors.

On the 17th of April John George took 16 JAG employees on the PalmerSport Day at Bedford Autodrome in Northamptonshire. The day comprised of a full briefing, followed by colleagues and co-workers racing each other in a series of seven different high-performance vehicles.

John managed to win the Palmer Jaguar JP1, Porsche 911 JP3 and Caterham 7 Sprint races; making him the overall winner of the day. To his dismay, Andy Whitaker beat John over the line in the Renault Clio Cup session; despite John’s previous racing experience in the Clio Cup.

One highlight of the day included Business Manager Hayley Luxton being “blue-flagged” (a warning given to drivers to move away from the racing line when they are about to be overtaken). Hayley complied with the warning at first and pulled her car over, before changing her mind and re-entering the racing line, pushing Group Operations Manager Scott Fulfitt into a “brake here” sign in the process.

Despite his little accident, Scott had a good time, finishing in 7th overall for the day. He said: “The day was excellent and a huge amount of thought was put into it, from signing in, the food, travel… it was good to see that everyone, including people who were not that sure about driving too fast had a good day. It was great to meet everyone in such a great atmosphere.”

The event was made possible by Orange, who also sent five of their own staff to the event to mingle with JAG’s employees and compete against them in the racing. JAG’s ongoing Preferred Partner status with the network comes as a result of the company connecting so many users to Orange; the PalmerSport Day was a further incentive, and a thank-you from the network to JAG.

JAG invited five of its branch staff to the event, for selling high volumes of various different Orange products. Although the incentive was open to all JAG branch staff, it was only Branch Managers who made the mark. Andy Macey, Manager of JAG’s Shirley branch, Lee McBride (Manager, Gosport) Steve Turner (Manager, Falmouth) and Maxine Ryl (Manager, Belper) all attended the racing day.

Maxine said: “It was a very competitive day and we all had a great time. Working for JAG is like being part of one big team, and the Palmer Day really showed that.”

Andy Whitaker, JAG Group Manager who has raced rally cars competitively in the past said: “This wasn’t the first time I’ve been on one of these days, but whenever I get the chance to go, I go. It’s so well organised, the cars are well-kept and the instructors are brilliant. It’s a fantastic place.”

Area Manager Joanne Whyman said: “It was an incredible experience. I feel really lucky to have had the opportunity to race seven different super cars in one day. We had professional racing drivers in the cars with us showing us how to do it all and they really pushed us to the limit. I liked the Land Rover bit best –it was more skill than speed.”

John George, the most experienced racer present on the day said: “It’s terrific to share my hobby with my friends and colleagues –the day was good for teambuilding and getting to know some JAG staff a bit better. Everyone got into the spirit of the day and I’m delighted by how much they all enjoyed it.”

The Palmer Day was another example of the wide range of perks and incentives available to JAG’s employees across the board, from Sales Executives to Senior Management.

Branch Manager of JAG’s Falmouth branch, Steve Turner said: “I’ve known most of these people for years, but it was great to get to know some of the new staff JAG has taken on, in such a relaxed and enjoyable environment. It was the day of a lifetime.”
