Birthday quotes – “After a man is 50, you can fool him by saying he is smart, but you can’t fool him by saying he is pretty.”

Birthday Wishes Quotes A person is always startled when he hears himself seriously called an old man for the first time.

 

Quotes About Moving On -“Watching you walk out of my life does not make me bitter or cynical about love. But rather makes me realize that if I wanted so much to be with the wrong person how beautiful it will be when the right one comes along.”

 

“Sometimes the cards we are dealt are not always fair.  However you must keep smiling & moving on.”

“For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart.

It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.”

 

“Courage is not the absence of fear, but simply moving on with dignity despite that fear.”

 

Because every breath I take proves that I can live without you.

 

“Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.”

 

“I feel that the real drama of life is never center stage, it’s always in the wings. It’s never with the spotlight on, it’s usually something that you don’t expect at all.”

 

“I will continue my path, but I will keep a memory always.”

 

“Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass…It’s about learning how to dance in the rain.”

 

“Letting go has never been easy, but holding on can be as difficult. Yet strength is measured not by holding on, but by letting go.”

 

For all the advances in medicine, there is still no cure for the common birthday.

 

First you forget names; then you forget faces; then you forget to zip up your fly; and then you forget to unzip your fly.

Annese Notes Surge in Ensemble Video Education Sales Across New York's Metro Region

/in , /by


Clifton Park, NY (PRWEB) July 24, 2013

Cisco projects that 833 days worth of video will cross the Internet every second in three short years. Additionally, Internet video will make up 54% of all online traffic by 2016. This surge in digital content may explain the rapid-fire growth of Annese & Associates’ video content management solution, Ensemble Video, particularly across its education base in the Metro New York region.

Annese, which has been reselling the online video management platform since its inception in 2007, was also an angel investor to the Syracuse University-born software which has since risen from tech start-up to industry player in the online video platform market, reporting over 200% revenue growth since 2010 and record expansion of its customer base. The company successfully deployed its software to close to 100 new organizations in 2012, with over 200 customers in higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, consortiums, and enterprise markets.

The K-12 market is especially ripe for a product like Ensemble as it enables classrooms and districts to seamlessly implement 21st century opportunities like distance learning, blended learning, flipped learning, and mobile learning. “Ensemble Video has the power to transform the educational process in schools by ushering in a new model for teaching and learning that focuses on using video to engage, inform, and motivate students at their own pace through online learning, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,” notes Scott Nadzan, Vice President of Marketing and Sales at Ensemble.

Dutchess BOCES, Ulster BOCES, Eastern Suffolk BOCES, and Nassau BOCES are a few of Annese’s most prominent Ensemble converts in the region. The Lower Hudson Regional Information Center (LHRIC) was one of the company’s earliest adopters of the product and has been a strong proponent in helping like-institutions understand its appeal.

Ensemble Video enables LHRIC’s teachers to create video projects so students can easily submit video projects for coursework and tell a story through video. “Kids have always wanted to tell a story. In the past they did it with crayons and paper and now they are doing it with video because it’s the technology; it’s a 21st century skill,” said Sarah Martabano, Regional and Distance Education Coordinator at the RIC. The role of the Regional Information Center is to support districts in their use and acquisition of technology. Currently, 21 districts are signed up with Ensemble Video through the RIC.

Although free YouTube-like platforms are ideal for small-scale public sharing, they fall short for larger organizations and educational institutions that require more control and security.

“With Video becoming more prominent in all aspects of everyday life and the proliferation of technology in today’s society, organizations are constantly being challenged to find new ways to help break down traditional communication boundaries,” notes Andy Enright, Annese Account Manager.

“By implementing the Ensemble Video platform, our customers have enabled their organizations with a simple and cost-effective platform to share, secure, stream and archive videos with a few clicks of a mouse. We continue to see steady product sales growth throughout the region as Annese remains committed to providing our customers with innovative and cutting-edge solutions to help them remain at the forefront of modern technology.”

Ensemble Video has just launched its new 3.5 version which includes features like uploading video from mobile devices, a restricted streaming module to secure content, adaptive bitrate streaming for delivery, and a YouTube feed.

San Francisco (PRWEB) July 24, 2013

With four days to spare, a young technology nonprofit broke through their $ 100,000 crowdfunding goal on Indiegogo, thanks to a wave of major support from tech entrepreneurs and companies including: Craig Newmark of Craigslist, Mitch Kapor from The Kapor Center for Social Impact, Rackspace, TripAdvisor, and Zendesk.

“Gust was delighted to be able to put the ‘Summer of CODE’ campaign over the top with a significant contribution,” said Rose. “Black Girls CODE is showing the world that girls of every color have the skills to become the programmers of tomorrow.”

These leaders have collectively pledged over $ 50,000 to the campaign, joining nearly 900 giving in the range of $ 5-500.

Black Girls CODE Founder Kimberly Bryant said, “The response from both the tech industry and our grassroots supporters has been amazing. Crowdfunding is inspiring, because every gift, be it $ 5 or $ 10,000, really does make a difference when they come together for collective impact. Our campaign shows the growing support we have in the community at large for our work to diversify the tech industry by introducing girls of color to computer programming.”

The funds raised will provide student scholarships, instructor stipends, and laptops. Contributions will also seed funding for Black Girls CODE chapters in eight markets nationwide, which will provide ongoing educational opportunities.

In 2011, Kimberly Bryant founded Black Girls CODE to increase the number of women of color in the digital space. Black Girls CODE is the only program targeting African American, Latina, and Native American girls in cities nationwide with training in mobile app development, game and web design. Black Girls CODE has already served more than 1,200 girls in cities across the United States and in South Africa.

“Given Zendesk’s position as a tech company, located in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood, we have a very personal connection to Black Girls CODE’s mission and are honored to call them a partner and friend.”

Tiffany Apczynski, Director of Public Affairs, Zendesk

“Rackspace supports the work that Black Girls CODE does because we believe that creativity, education, and technology can empower and transform our community.”
