The New MultiConnect OCG Break-Out Board and Cable Developer Tools


Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) April 18, 2012

The success of the MultiConnect™ OCG Open Communications Gateway has led to the availability of new developer tools and non-cellular models to meet the growing needs of Multi-Tech Systems customers and partners.

The new MultiConnect OCG GPIO cable and break-out board make application development and demonstration simple and fast through the use of quick-connect wiring and sensor simulation. The cable and break-out board allows developers to more easily:

    connect to the MultiConnect OCG-D Developer Kit or MultiConnect OCG-E Developer Board using the new GPIO cable with dual Molex connectors,

    power application sensors using 120V transformer, and
    demonstrate application changes using potentiometers and switches on the break-out board.

The new non-cellular gateways provide a hardware platform for customers looking for an industrialized Linux that do not require cellular connectivity. These Linux industrialized computers support the same connection interfaces (serial, USB, Ethernet) and come in the same form factor as the MultiConnect OCG-D and MultiConnect OCG-E devices. Models are available with and without GPS.

Comstock Mortgage Launches New Refinancing Resource for California homeowners Considering the Home Affordable Refinance Program

Comstock Mortgage Launches New Refinancing Resource for California homeowners Considering the Home Affordable Refinance Program












Comstock Mortgage- California “Best of the Best”


Roseville, CA (PRWEB) April 14, 2012

Comstock Mortgage launches new website for California homeowners to get quick and experienced guidance in applying and qualifying for home refinancing.

Since the HARP mortgage program was first introduced in 2009, up until very recently, if you had asked a mortgage professional about the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) they most likely would have said it was a good idea but it was too hard to qualify for.

The maximum Loan to Value (LTV) ratio was not set high enough in the initial guidelines to allow many underwater homeowners to refinance to a better loan product.

Now with the recent release of HARP 2.0, LTV ratios on existing loans are much higher, or in some cases completely removed, permitting the homeowner to at last lower their monthly mortgage payments by refinancing into a loan based on today’s historically low interest rates.

Comstock Mortgage, a Mortgage Banker and Lender in California has established a new web portal for HARP 2.0 Applicants to quickly find out if they are suitable for the program.

The Harp 2.0 program now has the potential to help a greater number of underwater borrowers refinance their upside down mortgages than it did before.

“We started to see an influx of inquiries from HARP applicants around the end of 2011,” said Russ Moen, of Comstock Mortgage. “It was obvious from the volume of emails and questions our agents were receiving about the new HARP 2.0 program guidelines that we needed to deploy a resource site for California residents to quickly discern if they were a candidate for the program.”

HARPapplication.com outlines the latest guidelines, provides the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan look up tools and offers a simple secure Form for HARP Applicants to complete and receive experienced guidance in the best way to move forward.

“We’re now able to help our clients refinance out of these higher rate loans, in some cases, saving them hundreds of dollars a month. That can really be a life changing factor for many,” said Jeff Compton, Vice President of Comstock Mortgage.

In addition to the reduced interest rates and lower payments available through the new HARP program, homeowners are also given the opportunity to reduce their amortization period, e.g. if the homeowner is capable of continued payments similar to their existing mortgage loan payment, they could possibly refinance through the HARP 2.0 program with a shorter loan term.

Homeowners who currently have more risky loan products such as an interest- only mortgage or a short-term ARM will also benefit by refinancing into a fixed-rate mortgage through the new HARP program.

Homeowners eligible for HARP 2.0 must be current on their existing mortgage, not have any late payments in the last six months and no more than one late payment in the last twelve months. They also will need to show that they are able to afford their new refinanced loan payment.

Their current mortgage must be owned or guaranteed by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae on or before May 31, 2009 and may not have been refinanced through HARP previously. In addition, their new mortgage must fall under current Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Conforming Loan Limits which vary by area.

Comstock Mortgage has been providing home loan programs to California Residents for over twenty years, they have 8 office locations and a large team of experienced loan consultants so even if a HARP mortgage is not for you they may still be able to help with product alternatives.

Individual investor overlays and criteria may apply.

Homeowners that believe they may qualify under the new HARP 2.0 guidelines are encouraged to visit their HARP Application website at http://www.harpapplication.com or call them toll free on 877-470-HARP (4277).

Comstock Mortgage is a California Department of Real Estate (DRE) licensed broker with more than 20 years experience in all areas of home loan financing as both a Mortgage Banker and Mortgage Broker. California DRE #01390474 DOC #6073484 NMLS #165193

Pawngo, The First Online Pawn Shop, Sees Increase In Customers Seeking Loans Against Luxury Items

Pawngo, The First Online Pawn Shop, Sees Increase In Customers Seeking Loans Against Luxury Items











Cenntenial, CO/ New York, NY (PRWEB) April 04, 2012

Pawngo, the world’s first online pawn shop, was recently featured on NBC’s Rock Center with Brian Williams, highlighting how the service has become a much needed outlet for all demographics of Americans facing financial troubles.

Since it launched last June, Pawngo has offered large scale loans on high-end collateral to Americans looking for cash when credit cards or bank loans are no longer an option. As the first online pawn shop, Pawngo in particular has become known for offering a discreet and confidential service to its customers so that they can complete the loan process from the privacy of their own home without embarrassment or discomfort.

Since opening, Pawngo has come across an array of treasures from rings to bottles of champagne to Olympic torches, all with their own story. Amy Mattera, who was featured on Rock Center as a Pawngo customer, pawned a pearl necklace and her diamond engagement ring for a loan of $ 13,800 to start a daycare center.

Individuals who have their money tied up in objects can now use gold, jewelry, watches, electronics and other valuables they already own as collateral to secure a short-term loan for much needed basics like mortgage payments, college tuition, medical bills, small business payroll and in some cases, daily expenses.

Pawngo has few similarities to traditional pawn shops; in contrast to the brick and mortar operations, the culture of Pawngo has fostered friendly and reliable customer service representatives, a secure and safe process of getting items evaluated, an experienced and knowledgeable GIA Certified Evaluations team, and an overall new outlook on the industry.

“The economy is taking an unfortunate toll on Americans in all financial brackets and many are looking for a solution to personal financial troubles when traditional forms of financial assistance are often no longer viable options,” said Todd Hills, Co-Founder and CEO of Pawngo. “Offering individuals the opportunity to take discreet, high- value loans against collateral they already own allows them the opportunity to keep their head above water during this credit crunch – a role we take very seriously. Giving our customer demographic a more comfortable and professional user experience is one of our top priorities and we are committed to setting the highest standard as we pioneer this new industry.”

In the fall of 2011, Pawngo expanded its services to offer the Pro-Athletes Program with Metrix Capital and the Small Business Lending Program – both which are able to offer collateral loans of up to $ 1 million dollars in 24 hours to qualified parties. The company to-date has funded over $ 5 million in 48 states and is venture-backed by Daylight Partners, Access Venture Partners and Lightbank, the $ 100 million fund started by the founders of Groupon.

For more information, please visit: http://www.pawngo.com.

About Pawngo

Pawngo is the first full-service online pawn shop in the US and provides small businesses and individuals up to $ 1 million in 24 hours without leaving the comfort of their homes. The secure, discreet online process eliminates the embarrassment and hassle of going to a brick-and-mortar pawn shop by allowing consumers to conduct the entire transaction from the privacy and convenience of their own home. The company to-date has funded more than $ 5 million in 48 states and is venture-backed by Daylight Partners, Access Venture Partners and Lightbank, the $ 100 million fund started by the founders of Groupon. The private company is headquartered in Centennial, Colorado. For more information, visit http://www.pawngo.com.

Sawmills in China Industry: Rapid Urbanization is Driving Double-Digit Growth, says IBISWorld

Sawmills in China Industry: Rapid Urbanization is Driving Double-Digit Growth, says IBISWorld











IBISWorld Market Research


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 31, 2012

China’s urbanization rate increased from 45.7% in 2008 to an estimated 50.0% in 2011. The rapid development of the real estate market created huge demand for construction wood, wood for decoration, and wood furniture, which resulted in growing demand for products from the Sawmills industry. Fast growth in the transportation sector also boosted demand for special timbers and sleepers provided by sawmills. As a result, IBISWorld estimates that the Sawmill industry in China will generate $ 9.1 billion in 2012, reflecting 24.8% annualized growth over the past five years.

According to IBISWorld, the top four companies in this industry–Rizhao Huada Investment Development, Yantai Northwest Forestry, Shandong Hailan Import and Export Corporation, and Qingdao Westwood Lumber–account for only 8.5% of total industry revenue. As sawmill products are manufactured from logs of different forestry species into items with different specifications, one sawmill cannot satisfy the needs of all the markets. Therefore, sawmills tend to specialize focusing only on products of certain specifications.

Over the next five years, the Chinese government will continue to boost domestic investment in the [Sawmill industry and encourage Chinese enterprises to invest in countries with abundant forest resources. With favorable policies and low purchase costs, top enterprises are expected to account for a larger market share in the coming five years, says IBISWorld.

Custom Backing Track, a Worldwide Exclusive Offer for Musicians

Posted by on March 29, 2012 1 comment

Custom Backing Track, a Worldwide Exclusive Offer for Musicians











Custom backing track screenshot

Lille, North (PRWEB) September 22, 2009

The custom backing track is for all music uses — the possibilities are infinite. For singers who wish to sing on the acoustic version of “Pain it black” while suppressing electric instruments, for musicians who long to play the solo of “Stairway to heaven” on an instrumental-without guitars- version or for singing teachers, masters that want to isolate the vocals of Ella Fitzgerald in her song “Summertime” in order to train pupil’s voice.

The custom backing track is a new feature and an innovative method that offers new possibilities to musicians. The principle is quite simple. By selecting a song, removing the unwanted tracks, the musician gets a drum-and-guitar free custom backing track.

Previously there was no such thing when it came to train. To play on legendary tunes. To rehearse and to record favourite bands while the track involving usual instruments has been removed. This karaoke-version’s feature allows to set the volume of each instrument to create a mp3 accompaniment

The assets of custom backing track are the universal MP3 format, the profesional quality, the possibility to test the program through free songs ready to be mixed, the limitlessness in mixing and over 2000 available songs.

A family business….

The Defossez brothers have always thought that their complementarity could lead to a common project. Jean-Baptiste, the elder, is a computer enthusiast and masters the web brilliantly. Barthélémy, the youngest brother, is particularly gifted in musical creation. They design the Karafun software in 1995, an innovative and promising software at the time. Armed with this experience, they create the RECISIO company and the Karaoke website in September, 2005, in Lille. Only 50 backing tracks where then available. Today, it’s more than 20,000. In less than 4 years, the website has found a major place on the Internet. Figures speak for themselves: more than a million connexions from all around the world each month! Prone to new experiences, always on the look-out for new services, Jean-Baptiste and Barthélémy have launched the “custom backing track” concept in January, 2009.

“We are witnessing the emergence of a new class of real estate – data center real estate – and The Northern California Data Center Summit is a great way to participate. With investors, operators, and property owners all at one event, it’s a very unique environment,” according to Everett Thompson, CEO of Wired Real Estate Group and a featured speaker at the event.

How is the concentration of internet firms in the region impacting data center demand and supply? How is data center real estate value (and capitalization rates) in western markets stacking up against other national markets? What are the unique types of debt capital available for data center investment and development? How will changing consumer and business data patterns impact the local and national data center markets?

Crowdfunding website gets Senate approval

Posted by on March 23, 2012 1 comment

Crowdfunding website gets Senate approval











Conzortia.com – CrowdFunding for Serious Businesses & Investors


Cheyenne, Wyoming (PRWEB) March 23, 2012

Legislation to help startup companies raise capital via the Internet won easy passage in the Senate Thursday and since President Barack Obama supports the measure, it appears that Conzortia Business Funding, Inc.’s crowdfunding site, Conzortia.com, will be legal & operational in a matter days, upon House reconciliation and the President’s signature.

In referring to the economy and job growth, Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., said this “might be the most pro-growth measure that this body will consider.”

The measure will allow small businesses to use advertisements to solicit investors, allow up to 2,000 shareholders that a company can have before it must register with the SEC, and allow smaller companies to publicly sell up to $ 50 million in shares, without filing some SEC paperwork. It encourages the practice of “crowdfunding,” in which the Internet is used to raise capital from a large number of smaller investors. The measure puts dollar limits on contributions from individual investors based upon their annual income.

Crowdfunding was previously banned for stock sales because it was not legal to openly advertise and offer securities to the public without SEC registration.

“It’s a great day for public posterity”, said Robert Dobyns, Founder & CEO of Conzortia Business Funding, Inc. “This represents a paradigm shift in the way that small businesses get funded AND lets the small investor have a real stake in companies that have exponential growth potential.”

Meanwhile, the website at Conzortia.com sits dormant with a “coming soon” note attached.

“We are currently accepting investor & business registrations pending final approval”, Dobyns stressed. “There are currently $ 1.2 million in offers awaiting launch at Conzortia and lots of information on what crowdfunding is all about.”

And as Capitol Hill completes its final tounches, Dobyns waits. And the Conzortia tech team waits. And America waits for the momentous day to arrive.
