Eye Safety On The Slopes: A Checklist For Kids? Eye Protection When Skiing Or Snowboarding
Eye Safety On The Slopes: A Checklist For Kids’ Eye Protection When Skiing Or Snowboarding
Valley View, OH (Vocus) December 30, 2010
When it comes to worries about children’s winter sports injuries, most parents think of broken ankles and wrists. But Defog It antifog reminds parents that skiers and snowboarders need to take care of their eyes, too, and offers a simple 4-point safety checklist.
The National Ski Areas Association and the National Ski Patrol both recommend eye protection for all skiers and snowboarders. In their Ski Tips for Kids, the NSSA cautions: “Always wear eye protection. Have sunglasses and goggles with you.” In addition to protecting eyes from trauma, goggles and sunglasses prevent eye damage from the sun’s UV radiation, as noted by the website familydoctor.org.
“Fogged ski goggles are dangerous for kids. They can’t see or, worse yet, they take off their goggles. Defog It antifog prevents that problem,” comments John Swett, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Nanofilm, maker of Defog It.
Remember, impaired vision is more than a hassle on a great down-hill run. It can be a serious safety hazard. Keep your child’s vision protected, clear, and fog-free. Defog It antifog offers this checklist for vision safety on the slopes:
1. Wear goggles to protect vision. Eyewear is vital for helping prevent flying snow and ice from obscuring vision during a high-speed descent, and it helps protect a skier’s eyes from twigs or debris. Sunglasses can block UV rays that can cause vision damage.
2. Fog-proof your sunglasses and eyeglasses. Use an antifog spray or antifog towelette, like Defog It to prevent fog. Carry it your pocket or gear bag. Some goggles have venting or anti-fog coatings to reduce fogging.
3. Give new life to “fog-free” goggles. If goggles have lost their fog-blocking ability, an application of an antifog like Clarity Defog It can help clear things up.
4. Help kids keep a fog-free view when they head for the chalet, too. Wear eyeglasses? Going from slope temperatures to a toasty fire can fog up lenses. An antifog can help assure kids see all the fun.
First used by the military worldwide, Defog It is the proven safety choice in the toughest environments where heat, cold, Humidity and exertion cause fogged eyewear. The product is safe and effective on eyeglasses, sunglasses, goggles and faceshields and all optics.
Lab tests confirm the antifog’s high performance. In one test, a lens treated with Defog It was held over constant hot steam for 60 minutes without fog forming. Similar products failed in as little as 5 minutes. In another test, lenses coated with Clarity Defog It were moved between cold and hot environments 100 times without fog forming.
Defog It is available as a liquid or reusable cloths. More information, pricing and performance videos are available at http://www.defogitworks.com]or by calling 1-888-ENDS-FOG.
Nanofilm, founded in 1985, is the maker of Clarity Defog It and a global optical leader in lens care and coatings. Millions of people around the world use Nanofilm products, including Clarity Clean It™, Clarity Defog It™ and other lens care products, as well as nanotechnology-enabled coatings.

Global Digital Rights Management (DRM) Market to Reach US$2.5 Billion by 2017, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
Global Digital Rights Management (DRM) Market to Reach US$ 2.5 Billion by 2017, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
San Jose, California (PRWEB) November 21, 2011
Follow us on LinkedIn – Corporate and enterprises continue to be plagued by issues surrounding safety and security of content. With organizations preferring to digitize their sensitive and high value content to enable easy access and storage, fears over possible data leakages, theft, piracy and unauthorized use of digital information remain imminent. Rapid proliferation of the Internet made it all the more easier for unauthorized people to gain access to digital information and illegally circulate the same. This situation calls for immediate attention as piracy and data losses not only cause huge revenue losses for the company but also tarnish the image of the company for ever. Against this backdrop, the importance of Digital Rights Management (DRM) software has been brought to the fore, given its role in ensuring protection of data against piracy, within and beyond their corporate networks. Not only software and corporate information, media and entertainment industry too require efficient DRM solutions to protect their media and movie files against illegal distribution and sharing over the Internet and other illegal supply channels. Given the increasing levels of caution among content developers over safety of their high value content, the future definitely holds good for DRM applications.
Despite the popular perception that the dynamic environment of risk that companies and media houses operate in, and the ever-present data security threats, which interestingly tend to escalate during periods of economic downturn, make data security technologies recession proof, the global Digital Rights Management (DRM) market ironically in the year 2009 depicted a marked weakening in the midst of a steady deterioration in business climate. The length, breath and duration of the economic slowdown has been unprecedented and the contraction in business activity widespread across diverse industries. The economic storm, in other words, wiped out numerous companies in software and enterprise segment and even pushed many large media houses on the verge of bankruptcy during the period. With enterprise focus shifting towards survival, demand for content protection solutions, during this period, stood significantly weakened. Numerous corporate failures in emerging application markets such as banking and financial services, BPOs, and TV Home Entertainment, therefore squeezed opportunities in the DRM market.
Despite the 15.9% erosion in growth witnessed during the period 2007-2009, the DRM market made a smart recovery in the year 2010. This is largely because the underlying economics of content protection goes beyond the temporary weakness in the market’s climate. Companies, especially software firms and large media houses, cannot afford to cut corners on DRM for long, given the disproportionately higher costs associated with data losses, piracy and unauthorized circulation of original content. These costs tend to far outweigh any gains stemming from cutting DRM expenditures as a measure to save money. Additionally, a large percentage of the DRM market is built upon legally binding requirements. Observing the rules and regulations of Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), vertical sections of business like manufacturing, financial services, energy and health care are paying more attention to updating DRM technology. Future growth in the market will be primarily driven by emerging opportunities from niche segments such as educational services, healthcare, e-Books and financial sector will also drive future gains in the market over the next few years. Application of DRM for Electronic Medical Records, in particular will generate tremendous prospects for the market in healthcare market.
As stated by the new market research report on Digital Rights Management (DRM), the United States continues to remain the largest regional market for DRM. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest growing regional market for DRM waxing at a CAGR of about 19% over the analysis period. Growth in the Asia-Pacific DRM market will be especially driven by continued demand for payTV services, which continues to boost demand for conditional access and pay-TV DRM in the region, particularly in emerging markets of China and India. Media & Entertainment DRM is the fastest growing market segment by end-use type, with revenue from the segment growing at a CAGR of about 15.3% over the analysis period.
Major players in the marketplace include Adobe Systems Incorporated, Apple Inc., CoreMedia AG, Digimarc Corporation, EMC Corporation, International Business Machines Corporation, IPR Systems Pty Ltd., Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., LockLizard Limited, Rovi Corporation, Microsoft Corporation, Oracle Corporation, RealNetworks, Inc., AuthenTec, Teletrax, VeriSign Inc., YANGAROO Inc., among others.

Jasmine Music Technology announces the release of Onyx Arranger 2.1 LE (Lite Edition). A Magical Shortcut to Musical Excellence
(PRWEB) March 27, 2004
This program is based on Musical Object Morphing technology (MOM) allows to morph one musical data to other. All the styles are created from properly done ready MIDI files without losing any nuances. Onyx Orchestrator Style (OOStyle) – up to 10 tracks and 16 measure length – is used for generating a new song accompaniment following any chord progressions (up to 100 chord types and 1/8 note step if you want), even in a different meter.
You can have as many OOStyles per song as you want and they will sound perfectly in every Chord, Key, Scale and Meter. Styles can be merged by Orchestrator clips editing: you can drag an instrument or a clip of one OOStyle to the area of another OOStyle. Moreover, the accompaniment can be generated in many different ways, by changing the positions of initial pattern measures, altering chord/scale steps, flexible fill inserting.
Onyx intelligent multimode Harmonizer automatically recognizes the Key and Scale of your tune and calculates a number of high quality chord progressions for this tune in various harmony styles. Furthermore, it can search for and sort out the best chord sequences using special built in presets. Every found variant is provided with objective estimation criteria. And finally, any previously created and saved progression can be opened for use even in a different or variable meter.
The software pack includes lots of factory Onyx Orchestrator Styles, created on the basis of world music hits and performance Modeler styles and has a number of useful views and dialogs, like Piano-Roll, Event List, Chords, Keyboard, etc.
In short, Onyx Arranger 2.1 LE is the most powerful and flexible arranger integrated with sequencer, a tool worthy of a professional and yet easy-to-use for an amateur, a tool capable of producing MIDI tracks by far surpassing those made by already existing programs.

Personal Protective Equipment Professional Recommends Defog It Antifog, “The Best Anti-Fogging Product That We Have Found.”
Personal Protective Equipment Professional Recommends Defog It Antifog, “The Best Anti-Fogging Product That We Have Found.”
Valley View, OH (Vocus/PRWEB) January 04, 2011
In a recent Real Safety blog post, Seth Newell, owner of Armor Personal Protective Equipment in Tulsa, OK, recommended Defog It antifog for safety eyewear. “In a nutshell I have to say that Nanofilm’s Clarity Defog It is the best anti-fogging product that we have found. The product is simple quick and easy to use and it is small enough to put in any tool bag, shirt pocket or jacket without being obtrusive,” Newell writes.
Newell, whose Armor PPE works with safety directors, managers, purchasers and laborers to make workplace safety decisions, created his own real-world product test for Defog It antifog. Says Newell, “The test I setup was one that I felt was best representative of our clientele and readership. Strenuous work with a need to move from indoors to outdoors and back. We had the heater set at 75 in the warehouse with all doors closed and my computer said it was 29 degrees outside with no breeze. After working up a good sweat I stepped outside. The glasses I had chosen were the Sperian Fulcrum with a clear lens. I picked this specific pair because they fit extremely close to my face and allow very little natural circulation that would normally help reduce fogging.”
Newell continues, “After freezing my butt off for 30 minutes, there was no fog on the lens – Even when I cupped my hands over my mouth directing my breath to the glasses. So I headed back in with my now very cold safety glasses and proceeded to work myself back into a sweat. Still no fog.”
“Preventing fogged safety eyewear equals real safety in the real world. That’s what Defog It antifog is about. Tests like this prove it works,” says John Swett, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Nanofilm, maker of Defog It.
First used by the military worldwide, Defog It is the proven safety choice in the toughest workplace environments where heat, cold, Humidity and exertion cause fogged safety eyewear. It’s used in utilities, pulp and paper, mining, chemical processing, forestry, law enforcement and other industries. The product is safe and effective on safety glasses, goggles and faceshields.
Lab tests also confirm the antifog’s high performance. In one test, a lens treated with Defog It was held over constant hot steam for 60 minutes without fog forming. Similar products failed in as little as 5 minutes. In another test, lenses coated with Clarity Defog It were moved between cold and hot environments 100 times without fog forming.
