Darrell Krenz of Madison’s Capital City Tree Experts Teaches School Children about Trees

Owner Darrell Krenz visited the Madison Jewish Community Day School to help students prepare for Tu B’Shvat, the New Year of the Trees.

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release)Feb 25, 2012 -
This past week, MJCDS students celebrated Tu B’Shvat, the New Year of the Trees.  Read more below about the Tu B’Shvat foods students ate and our visit with a neighborhood arborist.

Today is a special day in the kindergarten classroom:  it’s 100 day, the hundredth day of school!  Students each brought in 100 of a single item to count and to show their classmates.

A New Year Celebration?

A Haggadah? Four cups of juice? Four questions? Unusual foods? Is it that time already? For MJCDS students it certainly was!

During the last few weeks, MJCDS learners prepared themselves for Tu B’Shvat, the New Year of the Trees.

They learned that according to the rabbis, there are actually FOUR New Years, not just one. In addition to Tu B’Shvat there are Rosh HaShanah in Tishrei, Passover in Nissan, and the first of the month of Elul, which at one time dealt with animal tithing, but now acts as a reminder about the upcoming High Holidays.

In the 17th century, the Kabbalists accented the holiday of Tu B’Shvat by coming together, studying, and eating. They ate fruits and nuts that have peels/coverings, fruits that have pits, and fruits that are completely edible. These different types of fruit symbolize different aspects of human nature.  They compared people and plants as suggested by the verse, Deuteronomy 20:19: “For man is like the tree of the field.” They also sang and danced.

Likewise, MJCDS students studied, sang, and learned about and ate various fruits and nuts. Students learned many fun songs and a particular verse that mentions the seven species that are tied closely to Israel.

Additionally, the students planted seeds with Israeli Shlicha Maya Pney-Gil and sampled even more fruit! They also learned about trees from our wonderful tree expert, Darrell, of Capital City Tree Experts Incorporated. We thank both Maya and Darrell for enriching our students’ learning!

During this unit of study, students wrote stories about trees, produced beautiful pictures, created matching word and picture game pieces and decorated picturesque plates with various fruit and nut groupings.

Students learned about the importance of trees from Darrell Krenz – a Madison-based arborist who owns a tree service.

Capital City Tree Experts is a professional, full-service, fully insured tree service company serving commercial, residential and municipalities in the Madison Metro area / Dane County, Wisconsin, WI.

Widen releases version 6.0 of the Media Collective cloud-based digital asset management system

New features for embedding and social publishing are just part of the latest release of the Widen Media Collective, which completes a revamp of the software-as-a-service digital asset management platform’s user interface.

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release)Feb 21, 2012- Widen Enterprises, a Madison, Wisconsin-based digital asset management (DAM) software and premedia services company, has updated its software-as-

a-service (SaaS) DAM offering to version 6.0. The latest iteration of its cloud-based DAM software, called Media Collective, completes the overhaul of the user interface and includes new features like social publishing, embed code enhancements, and alert functions.“Being able to make these upgrades available to all our customers is one of the great advantages of our migration to the cloud,” said Matthew Gonnering, Widen CEO. “We love knowing that all the work we put into making our service stronger can bear fruit for our customers almost immediately.”

Highlights of the Media Collective update to version 6.0 include:

Embed code release and expiration – Widen has made the expiration of assets and permissions more intuitive and less time-intensive. Embed codes can now be made active only between dates defined by administrators, making the Media Collective a more effective media hub for brand consistency.

Social media integration – New API integrations allow authorized users of the system to publish videos to YouTube. The new feature also facilitates the publishing of links to images, videos and other media to Facebook and Twitter.

Watch assets – Users can now “watch” assets, prompting alerts for activities related to changes made to specific media including new versions, metadata updates, and release/expiration dates.

Alerts – New system messages, administrative tasks, watched asset alerts and other notifications are easily accessible in a new Alerts Menu. This aspect of the interface will feel familiar to users, as it resembles similar features in popular social networks.

Streamlined metadata entry – Updates to the Media Collective’s metadata functionality will enable users to utilize dependent metadata, auto-complete, and other enhancements. Administrators will also be able to set required metadata parameters, restricting the ordering of assets that have not been assigned certain metadata.

Multiple asset search – Users will be able to search for multiple assets simultaneously. This will be particularly useful in instances where they can copy and paste more than one filename into Collective.

Widen also introduced updates to functions exclusive to system administrators:

Pin favorites – Administrators can now add their most-used admin tools pages to a list of favorites.

Role wizard – Role creation is even easier now thanks to new templates and smarter technology.

These updates to Media Collective come on the heels of other enhancements made over the course of 2011, including a new, more intuitive search function.

“The search update in Collective allows users to quickly see their results and narrow them through filters.  Preview images load as you scroll, which allows users to see their results more quickly,” said Software Development Manager Deanna Ballew.

Recent updates also introduced asset Collections. Administrators can define access to Collections as narrowly or broadly as is necessary to a given campaign’s success.

Contact Widen through this form for more details on what’s new in Media Collective 6.0.: http://www.widen.com/contact/contact-us.php

“These improvements to the Widen Media Collective represent just the latest step in our ongoing quest to make our DAM system the most sound, stable and empowering tool at our customers’ disposal,” said Jake Athey, Widen Marketing Manager. “We’re focused on the future of DAM software. With our talent and dedication to customer service, we know we’ll play an important role in that future.”

Internet Tech Specialists Chosen for Web Development Skills

The National Inventory Certification Association wanted a clean look for their website, but also needed skills to create an on-line certification course.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) - Feb 20, 2012 -
Providing a certification course on line requires more than just a normal, informational website. Internet Tech Specialists, a full service technology company, was recommended due to the special skills that would be called-upon to create National Inventory Certification Association’s website. NICA’s management staff sought a company that could create a clean, inviting site through design. On the development side of the project, they were looking for an all-electronic certification process. Internet Tech Specialists earned the opportunity due to the expertise of CEO, Debbie Mahler.

Though certifications are not required for home and business inventory service professionals at this time, the trend indicates that this will be the norm soon. NICA was established to help encourage standards now, under which those who are certified agree to conduct business.

Mahler explained what was involved in this project. Loving all things technical, her enthusiasm was quite obvious as she described integrating the lesson modules. “NICA wanted a process that included the learning modules that would only permit the applicant access to the subsequent module if they passed the current test. They also wanted the final exam to be graded and a letter of congratulations issued – all electronically,” for the growing home inventory service sector.

Writing script, exceptions and “if” statements was a challenge. “I was stretched out of my comfort zone and completely enjoyed the project. I would have to say that the certification course and exam is one of my greatest achievements lately,” Mahler stated, more than enthusiastically.

In addition to the certification, she also was required to create a Membership directory and provide “buy now” buttons for the convenience of the current home inventory professionals who want to achieve certification. It all works so seamlessly, to the credit of Mahler’s expertise.

About National Inventory Certification Association
The National Inventory Certification Association (NICA) sets a foundation of professionalism, accepted standards, and quality customer service for the fast-growing personal property inventory (often called home inventory) sector. Being associated with other business owners through membership of the association and sharing the professional designation brings national recognition to the group as a whole, and to each company individually.

Snapp Screen System Beats First Year Sales Projections

Snapp Screen System, the newest proprietary insect screening line released by Connecticut Screen Works, has become a top seller.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) - Feb 06, 2012 - Wallingford, CT: Officials for Connecticut Screen Works announced today that the Snapp Screen System surpassed first year sales projections by a large margin and, based upon current level of pre-orders and likely project acquisitions, it is poised to become their leading line in 2012.

“We are very happy to confirm some good sales news; our newest product line surpassed all of our projections for 2011” Company President Sharon Caruso stated. On a cautionary note, Caruso also explained “The market for non-essential goods and services has been soft throughout the industry since 2009. We believe these sales are not from an expansion of any particular market segment but rather an indication that customers, who are purchasing these goods, are carefully researching products and selecting those that have better value and quality”.

Snapp is a one-piece extruded aluminum screening solution that is used to create screen enclosures such as a screen porch or screened deck. It is adaptable to a full spectrum of applications far outside the residential home market. Usage is limited only by the customer’s creativity.

The company acknowledges that it has received tremendous reviews from customers as well as from several very prestigious architects and building firms during its initial year of sales. Additionally, Snapp Screen System gained a “Hot Product” label from Extreme How-To Magazine. It has been successfully marketed for use in the retail, commercial, and residential applications and, within the last 60 days, gained installation approval for a large-scale municipal elderly housing project.

Total commercial quality, substantial adaptation, and competitive pricing were among some of the top reviews from builders and tradesman. “Clean lines and small reveal” were the two most frequent comments from Architects.
