RUBICON TECHNOLOGY INVESTOR ALERT: Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses in Excess of $100,000 Investing in Rubicon Technology, Inc. To Contact the Firm Ahead of Imminent Lead Plaintiff Deadline

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / June 24, 2015 / Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, notifies investors in Rubicon Technology, Inc. (“Rubicon” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: RBCN) of the June 29, 2015 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action lawsuit filed against Rubicon, certain executives and directors and the underwriters of the Company’s public offering (the “Offering”). 

A complaint has been filed in the Northern District of Illinois on behalf of all persons who purchased Rubicon common stock in the Company’s Offering on or about March 19, 2014.

The complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws with respect to its disclosures concerning its business, operations, and prospects.

Specifically, the action alleges that the documents issued pursuant to the Offering did not disclose material trends, events and uncertainties, including the reversal of Rubicon’s trend of shrinking losses, high development costs and inventory write-offs.

On May 1, 2014, the Company published a press release and held a conference call discussing disappointing financial results and disclosing that its trend of shrinking losses had reversed in the first quarter of 2014.

Following this news, the price of Rubicon’s stock declined by $1.67 per share, or over 16%, to close at $8.51.

Announcing The Public Beta Launch Of Oztomeca.com: The Alibaba Of Latin America

Oztomeca.com has the latest innovation for wholesale online trade across the Americas- a one stop marketplace to source through any and all products one could desire.

Mexico City, Mexico – June 24, 2015 /MarketersMedia/

Oztomeca.com is launching its public Beta website today. The goal of this launch is to populate this website with products from manufacturers in as many industries as possible and perfect the platform. Once the platform is perfected and populated with Latin American suppliers, it will be more than ready to go for it’s official launch.

In just 2 short months since moving to Mexico City to open their branch here, Oztomeca.com has accomplished many milestones.

Oztomeca currently has partnerships with three very credible and well-known companies: Asian Inspection, Cristal Credit, and Escrow.com. These partnerships will ensure that its customers have everything they could possibly need, from product inspection to credit checks, to an easy-to-use payment system and more. Oztomeca has become a member of the American Chamber of Commerce in Mexico. The company has also now connected with ANEIRM, the National Association of Importers and Exporters of the Mexican Republic.

The company has also succeeded in securing a spot to present at Aldea Digital on July 22nd, 2015. This is the largest digital inclusion event in the world and will take place in Zocalo, the central square of Mexico City. This will be a massive tech event with over 250,000 participants that will give the website even more exposure and enable it to move even more quickly into the official launch.

Their social media is also doing great. Oztomeca has now reached 1,004 likes on Facebook and has 304 followers on twitter. Their team has been in consistent contact with many media and trade professionals on both platforms; tweeting, commenting and re-tweeting every day on twitter and posting and making connections on Facebook nearly every day.

The main goal of Oztomeca.com is to break down the barriers of international trade and help connect suppliers & buyers of Latin America to those of the rest of the world. The website’s main competitor is Alibaba, which is of course doing more than extremely well providing connections to manufacturers in China for businesses around the world, but has not yet reached Latin America as a source of manufacturers. The founders of Oztomeca want to continue what they started by expanding into a part of the world desperately in need of economic support, especially a better system of online trade and e-commerce.

Speaking specifically of the goal of this Beta launch, the CEO of Oztomeca, Pablo Quintero presents this vision: “We expect our Public Beta launch will allow us to perfect our platform, and fulfill the needs of our customers. We are very excited, as this could be a new revolution for the method of trade in Latin America.”

New documentary aims to save the rhino from extinction

Poachers in Africa and Asia have been killing these animals illegally and, in many cases, have used the sales to fund terrorist cells.

Austrian photojournalist Angela Raab is on a mission to save one of the world’s oldest creatures — The Rhinoceros.

“The rhino has been walking the earth since the dawn of time,” explained Raab. “Long ago, these animals were widespread, roaming African and Asian rain forests in high numbers. Today rhinos are in danger of extinction because of human greed.”

Poachers have been killing these proud beasts in large numbers as the horns are extremely valuable. In fact, the sales of rhino horns are a major funding mechanism for terrorist cells throughout the world.

Raab has teamed up with filmmaker Clare James to produce a documentary about this issue. The film, titled The Last Stand, seeks to raise awareness about rhino poaching and the work of Anti-Poaching Units (APU).

“Nighttime is a very vulnerable time for the rhinos and the poachers use very sophisticated equipment, like night vision and thermal goggles, to track them down,” says Dr. William Fowlds, a South African veterinary surgeon and an advocate for the APU.”

“I have an enormous amount of respect for the men and women in the APU. It’s a tireless and stressful job. They’re defending a wildlife heritage that belongs to all of us in the global community” says Dr. William Fowlds.

“Our main goal is to stay one step ahead of them and the technology they use. The APU is struggling to keep up with the technology that the poachers are using. It’s like we are fighting a war in the dark” says Justin Fox, a private game reserve owner and rhino advocate as well as head of the APU we are working with and who supported us from day 1.

Raab and James need about $200,000 to complete this documentary. In order to generate funding, they have launched a Kickstarter campaign, which can be viewed at www.kickstarter.com/projects/1359303880/the-last-stand-support-africas-anti-poaching-units

The Kickstarter page includes clips from the film.

Donations of any amount are welcome. For a $100 contribution, backers will receive an autographed copy of The Last Stand. A $1,000 pledge is good for a copy of the film plus your name in the rolling credits.

“We have spent four months in Africa, traveling the rhino trails, building contacts and listening to all angles of the story,” says Raab. “We have made so much progress, and invested so much time and money into this. We are determined not to give up.

“The men and women of the APU are also investing all their time and energy into protecting the remaining rhinos, mostly on a shoestring budget. Our goal with this film is to show the hardship, daily life, emotional strain, financial difficulties and commitment of these dedicated people.”

For additional information, visit www.kickstarter.com/projects/1359303880/the-last-stand-support-africas-anti-poaching-units or the film’s Facebook page, www.facebook.com/rhinofoundation

Renaissance Roofing Receives GAF’s Prestigious 2014 President’s Club Award

Renaissance Roofing of Canton, MI, has received GAF’s 2014 President’s Club Award. A GAF Master Elite(R) contractor since 2008, Renaissance prides itself on quality workmanship, with the goal of earning complete customer satisfaction.

Canton, MI – June 24, 2015 – Renaissance Roofing, Inc., of Canton, Michigan, has received GAF’s most prestigious contractor award: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes Renaissance Roofing 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.

Renaissance Roofing 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.

New customers of Renaissance Roofing are people who have done their research and due diligence before selecting their contractor, according to vice president Karen DePriest. “We tend to find very highly educated consumers purchasing roofs from us–these are people who know their roofs. They recognize our commitment to quality, both in products and installation, as well as our trained employees and installers. They want that same level of quality for their homes.”

“Anybody can install shingles on a roof,” continues DePriest, “but you’ll have big, big problems down the road if it’s not installed properly. At Renaissance, we look not only at the roof but also at the attic insulation and ventilation. If those aren’t up to code, the roof will not have the longevity that it’s supposed to have. Nine of ten homeowners in Michigan lack proper insulation. So we definitely try to educate homeowners about these matters. When a customer says, ‘I just want to replace the roof,’ we explain what will occur if insulation and ventilation problems aren’t corrected as well.”

Protection for the homeowner’s interest is accompanied by an emphasis on safety. “Every one of our job sites is OSHA-compliant; very few contractors follow those standards like we do,” adds DePriest. “Our crews have all the necessary equipment to do their jobs safely. And we commit to regular recertification and training.”

A small, family-owned company, Renaissance always looks to support innovative products, such as GAF’s Tiger Paw(TM) synthetic underlayment. “It’s more breathable than felt paper,” says DePriest. “We now include it at no cost in all of our packages. Great new products serve the customers better and help us grow the business, as well.”

The company is rated A+ with the Better Business Bureau and is a multi-year recipient of the President’s Club Award and the Angie’s List Super Service Award. Renaissance also contributes to the community with its involvement in Habitat for Humanity and its “Blitz Build” project in Detroit.

“We have great passion for our customers,” concludes DePriest, “and treat them with the utmost respect. Our motto is ‘It takes more than shingles to make a roof’–and it’s the truth. We try to make customers as happy as possible by installing the best product that we can.”

About Renaissance Roofing

The biggest decision in a successful roofing project is choosing the right contractor. Renaissance Roofing prides itself on quality workmanship and satisfied customers, with the goal of earning and maintaining complete customer satisfaction. The staff and installers work closely to manage each project, ensuring that attention is given to every detail. At Renaissance, the customers are the most valuable asset.

Quality First Home Improvement Receives GAF’s Prestigious 2014 President’s Club Award

Quality First Home Improvement of Citrus Heights, CA, has received GAF’s 2014 President’s Club Award. A GAF Master Elite(R) contractor since 2007, the company installs exterior jobs with quality products and the industry’s best warranties.

Citrus Heights, CA – June 24, 2015 – Quality First Home Improvement, Inc., of Citrus Heights, California, has received GAF’s most prestigious contractor award: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes Quality First Home Improvement 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.

Quality First Home Improvement has been a GAF Master Elite(R) Contractor since 2007. 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.

Quality First Home Improvement is, literally and figuratively, on top of every roofing job. “About 25% to 30% of the work we do is roofing, and we use GAF materials exclusively,” according to Gerry Anderson, president. “The Golden Pledge warranty is extremely important to us–every roof is backed by GAF. Every customer is assured of a great job because of the follow-up from GAF, with the post-installation roof inspection, and the security of having a lifetime warranty on the roof.”

Talking about his company’s dedication to customers, Anderson adds: “We have been a Triple Excellence Award winner for the past five or six years. A contractor doesn’t get that by just going out and bidding on roofs. Our customers get complete explanations of what we do and how we do it. Unless there is an unusual problem with the home, a roof by Quality First will typically be finished within 10 days of the customer making a buying decision.”

Another way that Quality First looks out for customers and provides extra value is by offering roofing-system packages. “When other companies bid on a roof, they charge individually for each component of the roof,” explains Anderson. “What we’ve done is put together three different roofing programs–Standard, Premium, and Vintage packages–each of which includes all the necessary components. By doing it this way, we’re able to discount it and save money for the customers. All of this is done without any worry or additional charge to the customer.”

The company looks out for members of the community, as well. “We work with charitable organizations, such as the Union Gospel Mission, to help provide food for their Thanksgiving and Christmas meals,” says Anderson. “Additionally, I’m a veteran, and I tend to be very close to the service organizations that support veterans. We are big supporters of the Wounded Warrior Project. We also have quite a few veterans working for us and are looking to hire even more, whether for sales, marketing, or installation jobs.”

Going forward, Quality First looks to continue its record of success in northern California and Nevada. “We do home improvements throughout the whole northern half of the state,” concludes Anderson. “We have three roofing service centers–one in the San Jose area, one in the Sacramento area, and one in Reno for northern Nevada. Our goal is to achieve the Triple Excellence Award for each of those areas–and to win the President’s Club Award again!”


About Quality First Home Improvement

“Quality First” is not just a name; it’s a motto and a mission. Taking care of all exterior home-improvements, the company provides ongoing staff training and stays up to date on new products and industry developments. Quality First customers deal with one project manager, who oversees every aspect of the job, and they receive top-of-the-line products with the best warranties in the industry.

Les Adkins – Social Media Specialist Shares Engaging Conversation on Business Innovators Magazine

Les Adkins, CEO and Founder of Orange SMS explains why it is so hard to define Social Media while sharing the simple path to “Get It Right”

Les Adkins was interviewed by Business Innovators Magazine host Craig Williams about why it is so hard to define social media even years after it has become mainstream.

Les explains, “If you ask the question, ‘What is social media?’ to five different people right now, you’ll get five different answers. If you ask the marketing person, the marketing person will say it’s another way to market your message. If you ask the advertising person, that advertising person will say it’s another way to advertise your message. What I’ve actually come to the conclusion in the last seven years of truly what is social media is it’s your digital presence; encompassing all points of your digital presence, meaning your platforms that you’re on, your website, any blogs that you might have, anything from a perspective of your digital hemisphere.”

Adkins goes on to discuss that the whole purpose of social media is engagement with your customers, or audience over all your digital platforms, not just what most people think of when they think social media, being Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram etc. That means your website, Videos, Landing pages, advertisements and all forms of digital marketing should be included in the broad term of social media too.

Les also teaches that social media is about Education, Collaboration, Communication and Entertainment.

Les is currently working on his new book, “Get it Right” which will be launching later this year to help corporate businesses define and implement the key steps and systems needed for their social media processes.
