Mansfield, OH (PRBuzz.com) July 16, 2013 -- A bizarre collection of stuffed ducks, mice, frogs and their other furry counterparts have become a surprising highlight of the offbeat collection housed at the Mansfield Memorial Museum. These Victorian-era taxidermy displays, which continue to intrigue visitors more than 100 years after they were crafted, prove that taxidermy is an art worth dying for. Information on this and other Mansfield attractions is available at (800) 642-8282 or visit www.MansfieldTourism.com.

Mansfield Memorial Museum visitors chuckle over the macabre exhibits, which feature a variety of small birds, mammals and amphibians posed in bizarre vignettes with tiny props. They're dressed in costumes and portrayed in human-likeness, offering a truly one-of-a-kind museum experience. Visitor favorites include a bullfrog conductor directing a band of rats; three ducks and a rooster enjoying afternoon tea; and a duck wedding complete with a robed minister.

The collection was started by the museum's original creator, Edward Wilkinson, between 1871 and 1876. "It's been on display since the museum opened 125 years ago," said current Museum Director Scott Schaut. "It's one of the oldest such collections in any museum." The art form that got its start from hunters wishing to display their prizes and scientists looking to study animal forms became very vogue in the Victorian era. During that time, British families displayed pieces in their home as a show of wealth. Taxidermists began experimenting with different techniques to demonstrate their skill. The artists' creativity heightened the popularity of these fairy-tale, taxidermy-based dioramas.

Founded in 1889, Mansfield Memorial Museum is the oldest museum in Richland County. Taxidermy is just a part of its broad and unusual collection. Other displays include the world's first robots and artifacts spanning from Ancient Rome to modern times, including collections of early Native American, African, Asian, military and natural history items. The museum is located at 34 Park Ave. West, Mansfield, Oh, 419-525-2491, www.themansfieldmuseum.com.

A destination unlike any other, Mansfield and Richland County, Ohio's wealth of unusual travel adventures and experiences, from visiting the working farm where Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall were married, to overnight ghost hunts in a haunted former state prison and touring sites where "The Shawshank Redemption" and other Hollywood blockbuster movies have been filmed. Breathtaking scenery, rural and hometown experiences, as well as hiking, biking, golf, cross-country and downhill skiing, bird watching and loads of other outdoor adventures attract families and visitors of all ages.

(PRBuzz.com) July 16, 2013 -- Attorneys nationwide who lost their job during the great recession have discovered an emerging legal field that may hold career promise for them. This gives them much to think about. Are they willing to change their legal specialty to continue the practice of law? Most legal experts agree the practice of law the way it once was is a thing of the past. The Wall Street Journal has repeatedly said most of the legal positions cut are gone forever as law firms adjusted to the new economic realities. The main question is: Are unemployed attorneys willing to retool to grab the brass ring again?

Evolving from the need to keep international trade safe, the burgeoning practice area of regulatory trade law has seen a sharp increase in need as the US Government stepped up controls over exports and imports. This intensified regulatory environment potentially impacts any company or individual participating in the global supply chain. The expanded regulations put in place by governments worldwide mean vast numbers of legal specialists are needed by manufacturers, importers, exporters, legal practices offering services to clients, government bodies and trade groups. Violations for non compliance with the growing body of laws can cripple a country; violations can cause companies to face large fines (in the tens or hundreds of millions of dollars) and possibly lose their export privileges. Experts claim this under served legal arena offers tremendous opportunities to attorneys willing to retool to help meet this growing need.

A Google search shows that Dunlap-Stone University is the only accredited university or law school that specializes in regulatory trade compliance law, offering its trademarked "Professionally Significant Degrees(R)" and courses online. "It is a very specialized area of the law," said Dr. Donald Burton, President of Dunlap-Stone University. "The regulations change constantly, sometimes weekly, which makes it nearly impossible for traditional law schools to offer regulatory trade law courses. Their courses would be out of date before their class was over. It is a challenge to keep the curriculum current, especially if this area of the law is an elective for them. For the past 18 years, our school has specialized in this narrow niche of the law." The school's International Import-Export Institute is renowned for its practical international trade education degree programs and trade law focus. It has nearly fifty trade compliance related courses covering U.S. and other nation's trade regulations, export laws and trade regimen best practices. Courses are scheduled year round. DSU is nationally accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC)

According to the Registrar at Dunlap-Stone University, in recent years, the number of attorneys enrolling in its online classes has seen a steady increase. Records show that some law practices have had a number of their associates take online compliance courses at DSU to widen their practice offerings and as preparation training for their industry certification exams: Certified U.S. Export Compliance Officer

(PRBuzz.com) July 16, 2013 -- In the beauty world, there always seems to be a new beauty tool that becomes, even if for a short time, the latest "must have" product. Some tools go in and out of fashion as quickly as celebrity gossip in the tabloids, while others prove their timelessness and stick around in beauty boxes forever. One of the latest products that seems it will fall into the latter category is the beauty blending cosmetic sponge. Though they've been around for a while, it seems they are just now getting celebrity attention. Kim Kardashian's makeup artist, Mario Dedanovic swears by a version of one that he uses on Kim's flawless face. 

The purpose of the beauty sponge is to evenly "sheer" out foundation over the face. Doing so provides an almost airbrushed finish that most celebritys sport and most average women are longing for. The most commonly found sponges resemble a teardrop, with a wide base and a pointed top. The wide base is most commonly use to apply foundation and/or powder over the forehead, cheeks, and chin; while the pointed end facilitates ease of application around the eyes, nose, and mouth.

Many women have found however, that "one size doesn't always fit all." So to provide an answer to that problem, Beauty Junkees Inc., is offering their sample pack of four different shaped sponges for a limited time. Each of the four shapes has a unique use for its application of a wide variety of makeup products. They list the various ways each sponge can be used in the "Our Products" section on their website at BeautyJunkees.com. Additionally, since launching their product on Amazon, they have ONLY gotten 5 star reviews. For the regular gal that's looking to incorporate a tried and tested celebrity makeup trick into her own beauty regime, these sponges might just be the answer.

Beauty Junkees's main focus is to provide expert tested and female approved beauty products that are available to every woman, everywhere. By creating a product funnel of tested products like the beauty blending cosmetic sponges already available, alongside a website packed full of great information from a licensed cosmetologist and esthetician, Beauty Junkees is going above and beyond to create a brand that not only offers quality products but free valuable information as well.

(PRBuzz.com) July 16, 2013 -- Donald J. Farinacci, multiple award-winning author of works of military and political history (www.donaldjfarinacci.com), announces the publication to critical acclaim of his historical novel of the Cold War, "1961, Sliding Toward Armageddon" (Navigator-Books, 2013; see also amazon.com). A cross-genre novel of history and espionage suspense, the book takes the reader from the first glimmering light of 1961 to its last flickering flame, all the while fixing the reader's attention on the fulcrum upon which all the tumult of the Cold War seemed to rotate--a place rather than an idea--Berlin, a city of intrigue which stood for the entire 45 years of the Cold War as an island of freedom in a sea of tyranny. As an historical novel, it plunges into the maelstrom of the battle between John F. Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev over Berlin, the major battleground of the Cold War--their Stalingrad, Waterloo and Gettysburg all wrapped into one.

(PRBuzz.com) July 16, 2013 -- With mixed reactions over the state of health of internationally re-known anti- apartheid champion and hero, Nelson Madiba Mandela, African based International Pop Singer, Vasco DADA is set to release a world hit single "Tribute to Nelson Mandela" on the Mandela day, July 18th 2013. The singer is slated to handover a debut album to the South African Ambassador in Kampala, though the Embassy has not yet set up a program for the occasion.

Formerly, July 18th was celebrated throughout the Southern African region as Nelson Mandela's birthday. In 2009, the United Nations declared it as a day to honor his legacy and a global call to every individual to contribute to the positive change of society.

As part of the activities, Vasco DADA and his promoters have granted royalty free access to radio stations across Africa and the Entire world to play the song on that day.

In the song "Tribute to Nelson Mandela", the 35 year old Ugandan singer summarizes Mandela as the King of People's hearts. The soft reggae single is set for digital distribution on tunecore.com and iTunes. The singer has twitted on his page www.twitter.com/vasco_dada a few lines of the lyrics that could leave the reader in tears, bearing in mind the health circumstances surrounding the Hero.

The reggae song produced in Kampala and mastered with a select of American professionals selling on fiverr.com, takes the format of a prayer but the producers where careful to push it even into the times after Mandela's existence.

SUPERVISION ENTERTAINMENT (TICKER SYMBOL: SVET) HUNTS FOR SPECTACULAR ACQUISITION OR MERGER.

Los Angeles (PRBuzz.com) July 16, 2013 -- Supervision Entertainment Inc., is on the hunt for an acquisition or merger with a company that has unique qualities that will bring substantial shareholder value to its stock.

The company believes that this move is now necessary to substantially increase shareholder value and bring real value to the company's shares. 

The company incorporated in 1984 now has an almost 30 year history. During these years the company has primarily been involved in the entertainment business of producing and distributing films, televison and music. However, there are literally hudreds of public companies engaged in the entertainment business. As a result the current business is very diluted and it is difficult to get the shares to provide real value.

The company is now looking to acquire or merge with a company that stands alone by having unique patented products, unique technology, the ability to have its products marketed on a world wide basis, and most importantly the ability to generate significant cash flow.

Over the last few years several target companies have been identified and a short list has been compiled. Each one has unique components, good management, cash flow, growth potential and meets all the criteria, in our opinion,  to take the stock value from pennies to dollars which every shareholder would be pleased to see.

Negotiations have commenced with a number of these companies and in the next few months it is expected that an announcement will be made which will identify the company that is either acquired or merged with. 

The company believes that this move will bring significant shareholder appreciation to the stock and create a dynamic company with a much higher stock price. The plan is also to upgrade its reporting and eventually meet NASDAQ listing requirements.

To contact the company please contact Bryan Brant: at bbatci112@gmail.com

Paul Harrison, Franchise Director said, "We have been wanting to stage an event like Saturday's seminar for almost a year but have taken several months to design a program that will really give those attending the chance to come away with a wealth of knowledge, tips and advise which will appeal to everyone building or about to start building a successful business. Having built The Travel Franchise from the ground up we know just how challenging the start up phase can be so we have worked hard to condense our experiences down into a really useful, interesting and above all, adaptable series of pointers to drive Saturday's event. We want those sitting in the audience to come away with the sense that not only can they start a business, they are also well equipped to make it a success with practical guidance and common sense advice that many budding entrepreneurs simply don't have access too. It covers all of the things we wish someone who had seen it all had said to us when we started out."

In addition to a question and answer session with The Travel Franchise founders, the one day event will also include a presentation on The Travel Franchise which details how to set up a successful travel business with real examples, real income and real potential. Those who opt for a Travel Franchise package as a way of getting their new business off the ground will also receive a free place on the Overseas Millionaire Bootcamp and a free business building tool worth £250 + VAT at no cost.

Over 52 million Brits travelled overseas last year and 85% say they plan to take a break in the next 1-3 months. With so many potential customers and a global travel spend of $17 trillion, Saturday's event is the first step towards building a successful career in a burgeoning industry.

The Travel Franchise event will be held at The Village Hotel, Walsall (Junction 10, M6) on 20th July. A £20 registration fee is payable due to limited space but will be refunded in full on the day. Attendees will also receive £100 worth of travel vouchers.
Places must be booked in advance. To reserve a spot, RSVP at http://travelfranchise.eventbrite.co.uk/

Sphere 3D and Overland Storage Enter Licensing and Supply Agreements to Deliver Secure Access to Native Applications and Data Management on Any Device

Mississauga, ONTARIO (PRBuzz.com) July 16, 2013 -- Sphere 3D Corporation (TSX-V: ANY), developer of Glassware 2.0™ technology, today announced that in partnership with Overland Storage (NASDAQ: OVRL), they have developed the first integrated solution that delivers the full functionality of hardware, operating systems, and applications via the cloud to any device.

The combination of Overland's data storage solutions, including its flagship SnapScale, and Sphere 3D's Glassware 2.0™ virtualization solution, will enable mobile device users the full functionality of any software program or application on any device, anywhere, eliminating the application limitations, data management and security problems for enterprises created by the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) phenomenon. Mobile users that need productivity applications such as word processing, spreadsheets, presentations and collaborations, specialized software for computer-aided design (CAD), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), software development, video production or customized legacy applications can now experience full application functionality via the cloud. A video presentation on this integrated solution may be viewed here: http://youtu.be/0UuZBZ5KeF4

Business users today cannot truly be productive while on the go without access to the full functionality of the business programs they utilize every day. Additionally, security issues arise for enterprises when data is downloaded to an unsecure personal mobile device, or transferred to cloud solutions out of the enterprise's control, each of which presents critical concerns around the ever-growing BYOD trend. When utilizing the Overland Storage cloud or appliance coupled with Sphere 3D's Glassware 2.0™ technology, mobile business users will be able to access the applications they want, along with the corporate data they need, without any data ever leaving the security of the enterprise.

"BYOD has achieved broad acceptance with 89% of organizations allowing their employees to use their own mobile devices for work purposes, and in just six countries (U.S., U.K., Germany, China, India and Brazil) the number of BYOD devices is expected to double to 405 million by 2016 from 198 million in 2013," said Eric Kelly, President and CEO of Overland Storage. "This Sphere 3D partnership has been a part of Overland's strategy for over a year and is key to delivering on our vision of providing a global distributed enterprise architecture that would give us access to one of the fastest growing markets."

"We are excited to combine our virtualization technology solution with Overland's data storage expertise and to expand our offering beyond the consumer to address the substantial enterprise opportunity," said Peter Tassiopoulos, CEO of Sphere 3D. "Overland has been an innovator in data storage for more than 30 years, and this partnership gives us access to their robust channel of thousands of resellers in 60 different countries and an installed base of more than 450 thousand."

As part of this strategic partnership, Overland and Sphere 3D have entered into a Supplier Agreement whereby Sphere 3D will procure its cloud infrastructure solutions from Overland, as well as a Technology Licensing Agreement which grants Overland the licensing rights for the enterprise market.

Pursuant to the Supplier Agreement, Sphere 3D has agreed to pay for up to $1.5 million of cloud infrastructure equipment in shares to Overland. The first $500,000 has been satisfied through the issuance of 769,231 common shares of Sphere 3D at an ascribed price of $0.65. Sphere shall pay an additional $500,000 in common shares of Sphere 3D on each of the first and second anniversaries of the agreement. The number of common shares to be issued shall be calculated based on the 10 day average of the closing price per common share of Sphere 3D ending 3 trading days prior to each of the anniversary dates; up to a maximum of 769,231 common shares will be issued on each date. Such Sphere 3D shares shall be subject to a four months and one day hold period from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.

Pursuant to the Technology License Agreement, Sphere 3D shall license its Glassware 2.0™ technology to Overland and grant Overland licensing rights for the enterprise and business market. In return, Overland has agreed to pay Sphere 3D an upfront fee and a royalty on future sales of licensed Sphere 3D technology.

Not just another pretty interface, ECi's flagship Web storefront is smarter, streamlined for speed

Fort Worth, TX (PRBuzz.com) July 16, 2013 -- ECi Software Solutions (www.ECiSolutions.com), a leader in industry-specific information technology solutions, today announced the release of its re-engineered flagship Web storefront software, ECinteractivePLUS™.

Key competitive changes in ECinteractivePLUS are based on shifts in user-centered e-commerce design:

• A prominent top search bar expedites the shopper's main task, looking for products
• Moving navigation menus from the left side to the top makes room for more intuitive shopping by product category and attribute
• Customizable merchandising zones let dealers market their brand, services and products in a fresh, visual format that promotes shopper engagement and repeat visits
• The theater slide show can automatically hide slides from shoppers such as government agency buyers who are restricted from purchasing the product in question
• Shoppers have more flexibility in sorting their favorite items by number or description, shopping by category, and viewing a summary of frequently ordered items
Behind the scenes, ECinteractivePLUS was rebuilt with simplicity, speed and scalability in mind:
• A streamlined carting and checkout flow on shopping pages dynamically presents data such as item quantities and recommended accessories--all without additional page loads
• Auto-save, dynamic content updates, and smart buttons result in fewer clicks and page loads overall; the cart summary instantly indicates when the shopper has added an item, and the "add to cart" button changes to an "add more" button, without requiring a confirmation page load
• Smarter item lists mean fewer steps for the shopper--the search results automatically upsell and cross-sell similar items or customer-specific substitute items without a separate page load
• Significant code changes result in important page content loading faster
• Implementation and launch are simple for dealers because ECinteractivePLUS uses the same administrative control panel and databases as the original ECinteractive® servers

"ECi remains dedicated to supporting the entrepreneurial spirit of independent dealers with game-changing software technology," said Trevor Gruenewald, Chief Operating Officer of ECi Software Solutions. "ECinteractivePLUS is not just another pretty interface. It's a powerful e-commerce solution that we carefully redesigned and re-engineered to ensure that demanding B2B customers have a great shopping experience. In turn their dealers enjoy a state-of-the-art Web storefront that makes it easier to compete and stay profitable."
