High degree of involvement by governments of numerous countries in procurement of raw materials and R&D is expected to bolster the non-lethal weapons market over the forecast period. Tear gas, water cannons, and malodorants which are used for crowd dispersal are expected to witness high demand. Increasing instances of crime against women has consequently augmented the demand for self-defense weapons such as pepper sprays.

Time to throw out the stereo and get an iPhone amplification system

San Diego company has developed an acoustic amplification stand that does not use electronics.

There’s nothing quite like the convenience of listening to music on an iPhone. You have thousands of songs and hundreds of stations available at your fingertips.

Andrew Lee of San Diego then had an idea: What if these songs could be amplified to fill up a room? You could replace a stereo system with your phone, saving money and space while expanding your music options exponentially.

Video Link: https://youtu.be/Zi5LgE6495U

Lee’s idea has come to fruition as his company, elago, has developed an Acoustic Amplification Stand for iPhone 6. This upright stand allows access to the screen, allowing the user to change songs or accept incoming calls. The acoustic amplification system is entirely free of electronics, increasing the output volume of the phone so music can be played in an office or living room.

The stand is designed to eliminate the tangling of cables and can charge the phone while music is being played. This Acoustic Amplification Stand is easily installed and taken apart, and contains no metal so the iPhone’s connectivity will not be affected.

“Our motto is ‘Simple Sophistication‘,” says Lee. “The stand is made entirely of transparent acrylic which gives it a very modern and sophisticated look. In this digital age of mass production, we wanted to bring a new mix of classic and modern design. Each analog stand is hand-polished to ensure that there is no mass production feel.”

The design has been finalized and tested so the next step is to produce and market the product. Lee estimates that elago will need $10,000 for technical equipment, manufacturing costs, shipping and advertising.

In order to generate this capital, he has launched a Kickstarter campaign, which can be viewed at:
www.kickstarter.com/projects/1815882105/elago-acoustic-amplification-stand-for-iphone-6

Several perks are being offered to encourage financial support of this project. For $15, backers will receive a key-ring headphone splitter and a C6 car charger. A $30 contribution gets you an elago T-shirt.

For $100, you can get the Acoustic Amplification Stand itself.

“This is a revolutionary new product and one that we feel will really catch on,” Lee says. “People who would like to back this project can get some great equipment at a low price. Once it hits the market, I’m sure the cost will rise considerably.”

Simon And Garfunkel Immortalised By Life Long Fan Autistic Joe Ellis

Since the age of five, Joe Ellis, clinically diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, has sought refuge in the music of legends Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. So much so that Ellis, has gone further developing a Facebook Closed Group for the past two years Simon and Garfunkel UK; in addition to being in the process of writing a personal ethnography based on the lyrics of the famous pair.

Image: http://www.getnews.info/uploads/390d20a9a7e40e89b959228b994d8e3f.jpg

Simon and Garfunkel UK is a Facebook group for fans of the duo to post memories, stories, memorabilia and personal reflections. The group has been publicised in both the UK and the States and membership currently stands at over ten thousand; with members around the globe including the UK, USA, Japan and Europe.

Ellis, has attended many concerts by both Simon and Garfunkel separately and the two together. The last reunion tour in 2003 saw Ellis attending concerts in London, Manchester and on three consecutive days at Madison Square Gardens in New York City. Ellis, together with his wife saw Garfunkel’s come back tour last year at the Royal Festival Hall, where Garfunkel, despite just recovering from serious throat problems, gave an emotional performance with his songs and poetry in a completely stripped back set which hid nothing; a fact that many critics did not allow to go unnoticed.

Ellis said ‘this event was probably one of the best solo performances I have ever attended. It was emotional, intimate and very personal. Artie was at his best, despite some obvious difficulties with his voice’.

The lyrics of the Simon and Garfunkel catalogue have been an emotional support to Ellis, from some difficult times at home as a young child, throughout the highs and lows of adulthood including the enormous beast that autism can be when overload causes the inevitable meltdowns. Scarborough Fair is for Ellis the ultimate ‘calm down’ song. It was in writing a piece for the Facebook Group about the meaning of these lyrics for him, the idea of the book came about and ‘Reflections of Simon and Garfunkel’ was born. The book should be ready for publication later this year, having been commissioned by a publisher late last year.

About last week’s interview where Garfunkel was less than complimentary about his former partner Simon, Ellis said ‘lifelong fans are very aware of the past difficulties that both have encountered over the years. Artie has always demonstrated a dignified silence in public to most of the issues between him and Paul, so I was taken back by Artie’s deeply personal comments. Although I respect Artie for speaking about difficult past times with Paul, lifelong fans feel the pain and hurt themselves too. I have been affected by the comments that Artie has made, but nevertheless I have deep respect and love for him’.

About Garfunkel’s 2015 tour, to include The Royal Albert Hall in September Ellis said: ‘as always when I hear that Artie is back in the UK performing, I rush to the front of the queue to obtain tickets for my wife and I to attend. Growing older alongside Artie by way of attending these performances is personal to me. Artie’s music has been with me since my violent childhood upbringing in the run down tenements of East London in the ‘60s to the present day. I always leave these concerts on a high and another memory is planted to remain for years to come. I wouldn’t miss it for the world’.

Ridgecon Construction Receives GAF’s Prestigious 2014 President’s Club Award

Ridgecon Construction of Shelby Township, Michigan, has received GAF’s 2014 President’s Club Award. A GAF Master Elite(r) contractor since 2008, Ridgecon focuses on residential roofing systems. Roofing your home is personal to Ridgecon.

Shelby Township, MI – May 27, 2015 – Ridgecon Construction, Inc. of Shelby Township, Michigan, has received GAF’s most prestigious contractor award: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes Ridgecon Construction as one of the “elite of the elite” residential roofing contractors in the United States.

GAF is North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, and only GAF Master Elite(R) Contractors can compete for its President’s Club Award. To qualify for this award, a contractor must demonstrate an exceptional level of excellence in their business, especially in the areas of Installation Excellence, Consumer Protection, and Installer Training.

Ridgecon Construction has been a GAF Master Elite(R) Contractor since 2008. To become a Master Elite(R) Contractor–a status that less than 2% of roofing contractors nationwide have achieved–a candidate must demonstrate proper licensing and adequate insurance, have a proven reputation and show commitment to ongoing professional training.

When Ridgecon Construction is on the job, no roof gets left behind. In fact, the company participates in the “No Roof Left Behind” program, in which members of the public nominate deserving people who are experiencing hardship and are in need of a new roof. “This is something that a lot of people don’t know about us, and it’s really the highlight of our year,” says Dena Elie, director of marketing communications at Ridgecon. “We’re currently accepting nominations for our eighth roof to be installed under this program.”

Ridgecon has been a staple of the local community for a long time. “We’ve been in this industry for 21 years,” explains Elie. “It’s pretty typical in roofing for a company to start as a family business, but we’ve continued to grow as a family-owned-and-operated business. There’s nobody you can trust like your own family, and that level of care carries over to the business. It’s not uncommon for roofing businesses to start and then be gone within five years. When you demonstrate the level of trust and care that we do, the customers trust you, too. That’s where our longevity comes from.”

That sense of community translates into business success for Ridgecon. “Ours is a referral-driven business, focused solely on residential roofing,” continues Elie, “so we have to do a good job, or else we won’t get those calls. We don’t run print or television advertisements. The trust we’ve established in the community shows when customers are able to confidently refer us to new customers. When you do a really fantastic job for someone, they will always refer you.”

A qualified team also propels the business. “We have tremendous experience,” adds Elie. “The level of training that our installers have is above and beyond what’s typical in the industry. They’re factory-trained and GAF-certified. That allows us to offer the best installation and best warranties, and we receive way fewer callbacks than is the industry norm.”

In 2015, Ridgecon is working to expand its team of professionals to meet customer demand. “We get new team members up to speed on how we operate. Our folks have to be all-in. Everybody needs to have the knowledge of how to treat our clients well and stick with them. We want to be their roofer, the neighborhood roofer, the household name in this area. And we’ll continue to learn about new systems and technologies for residential clients so we can offer them the very best.”

“We’re never afraid to put up a yard sign, because we’re proud of the work being done,” concludes Elie. “We live here, we work here, and our name is on the line. We take care of our homeowners, and we’re not going anywhere!”

About Ridgecon Construction

Ridgecon is a local, family-owned company. To us, roofing your home is personal. We’ve been serving area residents for nearly 20 years. We are owned and operated by a team of licensed builders, with a focus on residential roofing. Our credentials recommend us as the best in the business. Nearly 90% of our business comes from referrals.

Classic Construction Company Receives GAF’s Prestigious President’s Club Award

Classic Construction Company of Huntington, West Virginia, has received GAF’s 2014 President’s Club Award. A GAF Master Select(r) contractor since 2013, Classic is a leader in the fire, smoke, and water restoration and repair business.

Huntington, W.Va. – May 27, 2015 – Classic Construction Company, Inc., of Huntington, West Virginia, has received GAF’s most prestigious contractor award: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes Classic Construction Company as one of the “elite of the elite” residential roofing contractors in the United States.

GAF is North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, and only GAF Master Elite(r) Contractors can compete for its President’s Club Award. To qualify for this award, a contractor must demonstrate an exceptional level of excellence in their business, especially in the areas of Installation Excellence, Consumer Protection, and Installer Training.

Classic Construction Company has been a GAF Master Elite(r) Contractor since 2013. To become a Master Elite(r) Contractor–a status that less than 2% of roofing contractors nationwide have achieved–a candidate must demonstrate proper licensing and adequate insurance, have a proven reputation and show commitment to ongoing professional training.

Classic Construction is the roofing company to which others are compared. “We’re kind of the standard,” states operations manager Chase Ward. “We do a lot of insurance restoration work. Whenever there’s a large storm that damages roofs, insurance companies critique other roofers’ work quality by comparing it to ours.”

Locally owned and operated, Classic Construction has been in the Huntington area for more than 32 years. Begun by Ward’s grandfather, it has stayed a family company for three generations. “We’re big on family here,” says Ward. “We focus on serving the community, helping in all ways that we can. Many companies come and go, but we’ve stood the test of time.”

“We strive for excellence,” Ward continues. “That’s a big thing here. We’re praised by customers for our workmanship, and we stand behind that. At the end of the day, our name and reputation are represented by the quality of our work–so when a customer has a project for us, we take it personally. Any job we do, big or small, is a reflection of our company.”

Many contractors’ claims should not be taken at face value, explains Ward. “A lot of companies will say, for example, ‘We have more than 30 years’ experience’–but that’s because everyone in the company has one or two years, and they add up. Following that same formula for Classic, we have hundreds of years of experience. Classic employs master craftsmen who have been with us for 20 or 25 years. They take pride in their work, and it shows. They’re a reflection of the company.”

Classic looks forward to continued customer satisfaction in 2015. “If our customers are happy with everything we do, it’s a good year,” says Ward. “We’re the only one in the state of West Virginia to receive the President’s Club Award, and this is our second year receiving GAF’s Triple Excellence Award. We plan to maintain that standard, as we continue to expand into Kentucky and Ohio.”

“We’re an oddity,” concludes Ward. “For most companies in this business, it’s inevitable that employees come and go. But ours are like members of a family. Because of them–and also by the request of our customers and the insurance companies–we’re continuing to grow, and we’re excited about that. When employees are proud to step back at the end of a job and stake their names on their work… well, we love that. If you want the best in our area, Classic is the company that you call.”
