“The Somme” Audiobook Download Now Available

Posted: 23 Mar 2011 05:05 AM PDT

The Somme is available as a digital audiobook from Audible.com. The title, provided by Orion Publishing Group Limited and authored by Peter Hart, has also become an American Consumer News favorite..

The digital audiobook The Somme, narrated by Tim Pigott-Smith, has received an average rating of 5 stars on Audible.com. The title has a running length of 6 hours and 30 min. The audiobook was first released in June 2006 and a sample is available for download.

Audible.com’s description of the audiobook is “On 1 July 1916, Douglas Haig’s army launched the “Big Push” that was supposed finally to bring an end to the stalemate on the Western Front. What happened next was a human catastrophe: scrambling over the top into the face of the German machine guns and artillery fire, 19,000 British and Commonwealth soldiers were killed, the greatest loss in a single day ever sustained by the British Army. The battle did not stop there, however. It dragged on for another four months, leaving the battlefield strewn with the bodies of over a million men, and all for the sake of just a few miles of land.

The Somme has remained a byword for the futility of war ever since. In this major new history of the war, Peter Hart describes how the battle looked from the point of view of those who fought it. Using never-heard-before interviews taken from the Imperial War Museum oral archives this will be a unique audio full of passion, joy, and heart rending stories.”

Walnut, CA, March 23, 2011 –(PR.com)– VIRUN is a biotechnology company focusing on safe and natural delivery of compounds and peptides in order to improve efficacy of the agent being delivered. Through its’ endeavors, VIRUN has developed technologies to achieve extraordinary oral bioavailability of naïve peptides, for example insulin at greater than 61% compared to i.v. injection. Included in VIRUN’s patent and patent pending profile are technologies that naturally aid in the delivery of Omega-3 DHA and EPA/DHA into clear, shelf stable, tasteless and GRAS food-beverage applications branded as OmegaH2O®. OmegaH2O® is currently being sold in food and beverage applications world-wide; including functional waters and juices.

Philip Bromley, Virun’s CEO, stated, "Our MAPT patent is the first patent to deliver peptides and compounds bound to Transferrin orally. Not only does MAPT achieve oral bioavailability of agents that would otherwise not be absorbed, MAPT has been shown to deliver peptides with improved efficacy over injection. Our efforts are 100% focused on safety first, followed by effectiveness. This conservative approach may not follow the more common ‘fiscal’ means; however, our business model has shown low risk to determine high performance."

Craig Wang, COO of VIRUN stated, "We are pleased to have been granted this patent for our MAPT invention. Our patent portfolio is strong and unsurpassed. In fact, our OmegaH2O® patents pending has now received notice from the European Union that all claims are considered inventive and novel."

Nickols Huang, President of VIRUN stated, "This approval is one of many patents that will further strengthen VIRUN as a leader in delivery and encapsulation technologies. In order to protect our rights with the U.S. patent office, we will invest to safeguard our intellectual property in our short and long term advancements."

VIRUN’s patented MAPT technology binds naïve compounds and peptides to Transferrin allowing an increase in the agents’ effectiveness and oral bioavailability. Transferrin avoids digestion that enables a receptor mediated endocytosis mechanism binding LRP1 and LRP2 on and within cells. Clinical studies have been conducted prior to patent obtainment. Several MAPT drugs and products have either pending or have been approved. Other Virun patents or patents pending include OmegaH2O®, DPtechnology, nanotechnology and proprietary intellectual property under partnership and/or collaboration.

8 Year-Old Junior Golfer with Neurological Disability Aims to Raise Awareness and Fund Research for APD

Posted: 23 Mar 2011 01:05 AM PDT

8 Year-Old Junior Golfer with Neurological Disability Aims to Raise Awareness and Fund Research for APD

Auditory Processing Disorder is a little known condition that may affect 10% of children, the majority of whom are undiagnosed.

Hendersonville, TN (PRWEB) March 23, 2011

Mack Hanisco is a junior tournament golfer living in Middle Tennessee. On the course, he has the determination, poise and maturity of a PGA professional. At home, he morphs into a regular kid who likes video games and inappropriate jokes.

When Mack Hanisco was a toddler in New Hampshire, his parents knew that something wasn't quite right. He wasn't talking, and didn't appear to understand simple questions or directions. He also had some strange behaviors, such as turning objects in his hands repeatedly and throwing excessive temper tantrums. He also had some gastrointestinal problems and showed signs of slowed growth.

After getting tested by a local NH agency, it was determined that Mack probably had a mild form of autism called Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), but this diagnosis never made it to paper because Mack was placed on a special gluten-free diet and his autism symptoms completely vanished. He also had tubes put into his ears, which helped. "He started talking more and more, but he still didn't seem to understand directions or be able to put together a correct sentence," says Mack's mom, Chris. Mack's other health issues also cleared up on the new diet, which made it clear that Mack most likely also had Celiac Disease like his mom.

Later, at the age of 7, Mack was diagnosed with a "significant language disorder", and now at age 8 it's known that Mack has something called Auditory Processing Disorder (APD). APD is a neurological disorder that affects the part of the brain that translates sound into words. It's essentially a form of deafness that takes place in the brain rather than the ears. People that have APD are visual learners. They are often very intelligent, but they just learn differently. They often excel in activities that don't require a lot of verbal communication… which brings us to golf.

Mack learned how to play golf from a video game on his Game Boy when he was 6 1/2. "I bought a Mario Golf game for my husband since he liked to play video golf to unwind. Mack asked what it was and I explained how to play… thinking he wouldn't be interested and I really didn't think he'd understand something as complex as golf. I was wrong! Mack became obsessed with the game, and the next thing we know he was outside hitting rocks with a stick all afternoon. That was the beginning of Mack's ongoing love-affair with the game of golf."

A few months and a set of golf clubs later, Mack decided that he wanted to play in tournaments like his hero, Tiger Woods. His parents weren't sure if it was a good idea (they are non-golfers), but after talking to some coaches they decided to let Mack play a tournament in Boston, MA, just after his 7th birthday. He came in 5th place out of 10 boys.

The family later moved to Tennessee to more golf-friendly weather, and Mack continues to play in tournaments each summer. He has placed in the top 5 in almost all of them, and even won a couple. He is also very involved with The First Tee of Nashville and recently made it to "Birdie" level and is working towards making "Eagle." He practices in his back yard every day. "We don't have to tell him to practice. After school he whips off his backpack, grabs his clubs and off he goes. I don't think we could keep him from not practicing. Golf is his life. His goal is to play on the PGA Tour, and I don't doubt that he will someday."

Recently, Mack saw a story about another special junior golfer, Kyle Lograsso, who had retinoblastoma and plays golf despite losing one eye (and almost losing another) to cancer at the age of 2. "When Mack saw Kyle's story in the video, he said, 'I want to do that. I want to show that even though my brain is broken I can still play good golf,' and I thought, 'Why not?' Mack already inspires our little circle of friends and his coaches, but why not broaden it and try to help other kids with APD or similar afflictions? Plus, it gives Mack a lot of satisfaction knowing that he can make a difference. He is a very sweet kid and always thinks of others. Helping others is helping him."

So, Chris decided to design a website for Mack – http://www.mackhanisco.com. Their hope is to increase APD awareness and in the near future help increase funding for research through fundraisers. "Mack gets so excited reading everyone's comments on his web site, and when he sees how many people 'like' his Facebook page. He asks me about it every day, and he walks out of the room a little lighter each time."

Brian’s Certified Farmers’ Markets Opens New Location in the Greater Golden Hill and South Park Communities on April 2

Posted: 23 Mar 2011 01:04 AM PDT

Brian's Certified Farmers' Markets Opens New Location in the Greater Golden Hill and South Park Communities on April 2

Brian's Farmers' Markets, a community leader in bringing local, organic and pesticide-free produce to San Diego's urban and suburban neighborhoods, is pleased to announce the opening of a fourth market on April 2, 2011 in the Greater Golden Hill and South Park neighborhoods of San Diego. Brian's Markets accepts only herbicide- and pesticide-free certified California growers. Chefs from San Diego's fine restaurants often patronize the small farmers at Brian's Farmers' Markets. The alliance between restaurants and local food producers ranked as the first and second of twenty top culinary trends according to National Restaurant News' survey of 1,527 chefs associated with the American Culinary Foundation.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) March 23, 2011

Brian's Farmers' Markets, a community leader in bringing local, organic and pesticide-free produce to San Diego's urban and suburban neighborhoods, is pleased to announce the opening of a fourth market on April 2, 2011 in the Greater Golden Hill and South Park neighborhoods of San Diego.

In the past ten years, the number of farmers' markets across the United States has increased 80% to over 5,000, as more consumers recognize the health and environmental benefits of organic and pesticide-free foods.

More, many local restaurants patronize the unique, fresh food vendors at Brian's Farmers' Markets. The alliance between restaurants and local food producers ranked as the first and second of twenty top trends according to National Restaurant News' survey of 1,527 chefs associated with the American Culinary Foundation. (see: "Chef's predict the biggest trends for 2011")

Manager Brian Beevers explains, "South Park and Golden Hill residents are ready for a farmers' market. It not only brings the freshest produce directly to the people, but serves as a gathering place–a way to meet environmentally-attuned neighbors, friends and other foodies. Families will like the live entertainment. The market should bring more foot traffic to the area so that existing businesses benefit as well."

About Brian's Certified Farmers Markets

Brian's Farmers Markets owner Brian Beevers accepts only herbicide- and pesticide-free farms as vendors. He gives priority to artisans who sell products with a low environmental impact or that benefit the environment in some way.

A graduate of Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, Beevers quickly recognized the pent up desire San Diegans had for local, pesticide-free food. Beevers also longed to support the local economy by supporting local farmers. He opened his first market in Mission Valley in March of 2009. Many of the families that patronize Brian's Farmers Markets also receive the weekly box of produce through the market's community supported agriculture program.

Committed to bringing fresh, pesticide- and herbicide-free produce to all families, Brian's Farmers Markets constitute four of just six San Diego farmers markets that accept "electronic benefit transfer" so that recipients of public assistance in California, too, can buy organic and pesticide-free produce.

Feel free to use the photos attached or email us for original jpgs. Brian Beevers has many contacts in the local farm, homemade foods and artisan community and is happy to facilitate connections between these pioneers and reporters.

Baby Loves Disco Launches Multicity Superhero Tour, with Upcoming Events in Los Angeles and New York

The Internationally acclaimed family dance party phenomenon Baby Loves Disco travels to several cities this spring, including four events in Southern California during March 29 to April 4th and two in New York City. Thousands of parents and kids have already gotten their groove on during February and March at Superhero Tour events in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Philadelphia (PRWEB) March 23, 2011

The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round as the Baby Loves Disco Superhero Tour lands in several cities this spring. This year's tour celebrates everybody's inner superhero, and proves that moms, dads and kids of all sizes all have special powers worthy of superhero status.

Families are invited to come in costume or just as they are, to join the Baby Loves Disco nation. For a preview, visit Baby Loves Disco's TV Channel on YouTube.

Already this year, thousands of parents, grandparents and kids have danced the day away at all kinds of venues in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Wisconsin and Minnesota. During March 29 to April 4, the Baby Loves Disco tour bus will roll into the L.A. basin for more dance party fun. In addition to the rolling tour, Baby Loves Disco packs the house monthly at Le Poisson Rouge, one of the hottest clubs in Manhattan. The May NYC event will be held at Southpaw, another popular music club.

The Baby Loves Disco Superhero Tour is presented by H&M, and sponsors include Creativity for Kids, Honest Kids, Snikiddy, Piggy Paint and Loews Hotels & Resorts.

Each event of the tour rocks with special guest superhero DJs and MCs, dance instruction, big video screens, super contests and surprises at every turn. At its core, each event retains the patented mix of Baby Loves Disco magic that has helped connect a worldwide community of moms, dads and kids of all nations, of all colors and all walks of life, all in the name of dance (and fun!).

As Baby Loves Disco co-founder Andy Blackman Hurwitz says, "Come and shake it…or cape it. The Disco Superheroes are coming to a town near you, keeping dance floors safe from coast to coast."

Baby Loves Disco is an afternoon dance party featuring real music spun and mixed by real DJs, blending clas¬sic disco tunes with the latest G-rated dance tracks, all guaran-teed to get little booties moving and grooving. An international sensation since its founding six years ago by two parents in Philadelphia, Baby Loves Disco now brings parents and kids together to groove at all kinds of venues. Last year's 45-city Baby Loves Disco Lemonade Tour of 2010 raised awareness and funds for Alex's Lemonade Stand, the children's cancer charity. In recognition of the global reach of Baby Loves Disco, Babble.com chose co-founder Heather Murphy Monteith as one of the top 50 "Mompreneurs" in the country. Co-founder Hurwitz was also recently featured as a notable dad in Parents' magazine.

A new Baby Loves Disco: The Soundtrack CD features new and original family-friendly dance tunes crafted by King Britt.

Damien Forsythe Becomes a Certified Advanced Search Engine Marketer

Posted: 23 Mar 2011 01:03 AM PDT

Damien Forsythe Becomes a Certified Advanced Search Engine Marketer

Damien Forsythe, E-Commerce Consultant, has just become certified as an Advanced Search Engine Marketer after completing the advanced training and certification provided by The Tampa SEO Training Academy.

Tampa, FL (PRWEB) March 23, 2011

Damien Forsythe, E-Commerce Consultant, has just become certified as an Advanced Search Engine Marketer after completing the advanced training and certification provided by The Tampa SEO Training Academy.

This is a timely certification as the landscape for the share of online search attention has only increased among competing companies and as major search engines continue to update their search algorithms and search result ranking formulas. The most recent and significant of these search engine updates were the Google "Panda/Farmer" update in March, 2011 and the introduction of "Google Instant" in September, 2010. These updates changed how search results are delivered and prioritized – issues in which businesses and professional online search marketers need to stay current with.

Wikipidea defines Search Engine Optimization (SEO) as "the process of improving the visibility of a website or a web page in search engines via the "natural" or un-paid ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results."

Search Engine Optimization has become an important strategy for long term viability online and an effective compliment to other marketing strategies such as paid search marketing, e-mail marketing, social media and even "offline" promotional strategies.

SEO Expert and Editor of Search Engine Land, Danny Sullivan, wrote an article titled "SEO Is Here To Stay, It Will Never Die" and was quoted as saying "SEO is not about tricking search engines, nor spamming links, nor ruining web design. It's about building good content, understanding the ways people might seek it — including the words they might use — and ensuring the content is search engine friendly along with being human friendly".

After receiving his SEO Certification, Damien said that "I'm thrilled to be able to build on my training and add advanced SEO techniques to my online marketing skills – both for my benefit and those of my clients. You can read online forums and books all day long, but all of that does not compare to an intense in-person training course from leading industry professionals and the live interaction and feedback. The validation for me that comes from completing the course examination and receiving the certification from The Search Engine Academy is a powerful combination."

Steve Scott, the President of the Tampa SEO Training Academy, also commented that "While many people claim to be search engine optimization experts, few truly know just how much goes into creating a truly optimized web presence. I often have SEO professionals in my class who tell me before they leave on Friday that they now realize just how much they didn't know and how invigorated they are to get back to work. For many, the training is a life-changing experience."

About Damien Forsythe:

Damien Forsythe is an E-Commerce Consultant, with a degree in Business & E-Commerce from The University of New Brunswick, Canada. He consults with clients in areas such as Paid Search Marketing, Search Engine Optimization, Web Usability, Analytics and E-mail Marketing.

Berkeley Nucleonics Completes Shipment of Radiation Detectors to Mizuno Pharmacy, Tokyo Japan

Berkeley Nucleonics shipped PRD units to Mizuno Pharmacy in Tokyo today in an effort to advise patients and clinical staff about fallout concerns after a reactor incident at Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. The PRD from Berkeley Nucleonics measures dose rates, counts per second and accumulated dose, making it useful for a wide range of applications.

San Rafael, CA (PRWEB) March 23, 2011

Berkeley Nucleonics shipped PRD units to Mizuno Pharmacy in Tokyo today in an effort to advise patients and clinical staff about fallout concerns after a reactor incident at Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. The PRD from Berkeley Nucleonics measures dose rates, counts per second and accumulated dose, making it useful for a wide range of applications.

"The service I received from Berkeley Nucleonics has been exception in these trying times," commented Barbara Chang in a telephone discussion.

Radiopharmaceutical companies are one of many industries with routine exposure to medical and industrial nuclear radiation. Radio Isotopes are used in a wide range of industries and occur in many natural forms as well. Such benign articles as ceramics or kitty litter carry small levels or radiation. Patients who receive medical treatments, often with Iodine-131, are also subject to radiation concerns. The PRDs and a broader family of detector systems provide instant results and characterization of the ionizing radiation. Previous TLD systems absorbed dose over long periods of time but required special readers or 3rd party service providers to inform the holder of actual exposures. The company has ramped up production and is planning additional shipments of PRDs and Isotope Identifiers to Japan I the coming weeks.

SyndicIT Services Introduces ‘Drag and Drop’ Document Management for HP Slate Tablet

Posted: 23 Mar 2011 01:00 AM PDT

SyndicIT Services Introduces 'Drag and Drop' Document Management for HP Slate Tablet

SyndicIT Brings HP Slate Tablet based Paperless Property Operations to the Commercial and Multifamily Real Estate Industries.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) March 23, 2011

SyndicIT Services Corporation (SyndicIT) today announced that 'Syndi', the 'virtual property assistant' that operates as a desktop electronic avatar to capture, manage, store and retrieve both scanned paper documents such as leases, and electronic documents such as PDF's and spreadsheets in a SaaS, cloud-based environment, is now operational on the HP Slate tablet computer. Syndi, appears as an icon on the user's computer desktop making electronic file and scanned paper document capture and storage 'drag and drop' simple. Simply 'drag' the file or document with your finger to Syndi and Syndi automates the indexing and storage. Touch Syndi and she opens your electronic file cabinets for document retrieval. Syndi provides anywhere, anytime, access eliminating the hassles, costs and risks associated with using, storing and managing paper, making paperless property operations ever more mobile whether using a laptop, net book or now the HP Slate tablet.

Syndi is also designed as a context sensitive integrator for 'line of business' application integration meaning that users of business applications can now use the auto store, indexing and search functions for storing and finding documents in real time, based on the active screen of the application they are using. 'Syndi' is an intelligent desktop applet who always knows by application what you are doing, and thus can provide real-time automated document storage, indexing, linking or retrieval of documents driven by the key index fields of active applications or general ledger account entries.

"This capability is a significant enhancement to the anytime, anywhere use of cloud based document storage and management. And, when used with other business applications such as property management software, it creates an environment for true real-time use of key document index values eliminating the need for users to spend time and keystrokes to accurately store or search for digital documents they use in property management such as resident and property leases. Syndi is now smart enough to know 'where you are and what you are doing' in your applications and then drive the capture, storage and management of digital documents accordingly. This technology is called context sensitive integration," said Debra Radice, Managing Director of SyndicIT Services Corporation. "We fully understand that a document management system without full integration to active 'line of business' applications is not a true solution" she added.

The Company also stated that SyndicIT's document management solution is already being used to process over 250,000 documents a day in paperless business operations.

MEET "SYNDI," THE DESKTOP AVATAR WHO DOES ALL THE WORK

Syndi is a new age, desk top 'drag and drop' electronic avatar. Syndi ensures that all documents are captured, monitored, properly handled and filed. Syndi performs as an intelligent integrator, a scanner applet, present on the user's computer desktop enabling simple, fast and easy 'drag and drop' auto indexing and capture of scanned or electronic documents whether they be Outlook messages, Excel, Word, PDF files, .TIF images, photos or even voice files to be digitally captured and shared. Syndi's unique 'print to Syndi' function enables users to 'print documents' directly to the correct electronic file cabinet. Syndi also constantly monitors scanning devices moving scanned paper documents automatically into workflows, to-do folders, in-boxes or electronic file cabinets. The SyndicIT system also features ready-to-go document workflow processing, integration with Outlook, QuickBooks and SalesForce.com to expedite document, message filing and attachment filing from these popular business applications.

About SyndicIT Services Corporation:

SyndicIT Services Corporation is headquartered in Wimberley, Texas, a suburb of Austin, Texas. SyndicIT was founded to provide enhanced technology tools for the multihousing and commercial real estate industries. Our tools for asset performance are the next major step in multihousing and commercial real estate IT enabling true paperless property automation.

B2B Soft Partners With Retailigence

Location-Based Shopping Solution for Wireless Standard

New York, NY (PRWEB) March 23, 2011

Seldom will you find anything that can't be associated with an App. In a world dominated by the ever present App, where the consumer has immediate access to information in the palm of their hand, its imperative that retailers embrace this new form of marketing or risk losing that potential customer to the competing retailer who does.

B2B Soft, a leader in business-to-business software solutions specializing in retail management for the wireless/cellular retail industry, is pleased to announce a new partnership with Retailigence that is fully integrated with B2B Soft's flagship Point-of-Sale solution, Wireless Standard. The strategic partnership in which the Retailigence Data as a Service platform will enable B2B Soft's Wireless Standard and Retail Time platform customers to make their inventory data available on web and mobile applications, allowing shoppers to find their products when they need them – right now, in stores nearby.

"Through our partnership with Retailigence we are bringing our valued Wireless Standard and Retail Time customers turnkey access to the fastest-growing marketing channel – the mobile app ecosystem – in a turnkey solution. This extends our value to our customers by driving foot traffic with strong purchase intent right to their front door and builds on our heritage of continually bringing innovation and value to our retail customers."

Jeremy Geiger, CEO Retailigence.

The first Wireless Retailer to benefit from this partnership is Third Eye Communications Corp. The company was formed in 2008 starting with 6 MetroPCS locations in the DFW market and expanded to over 75 locations supporting both MetroPCS and Cricket Communications throughout markets in Atlanta, DFW, Maryland, Chicago and Oklahoma.

"We're excited to be the first to market with this innovative integration of Retailigence into the Wireless Standard platform," says Tim Sanger, VP of Sales for Third Eye Communications Corp. "Our company has searched for ways to stay in front of our customers who are riding the wave of technology. By partnering with companies like B2B Soft and Retailigence, we are positioning ourselves well for the future."

The combined B2B Soft-Retailigence solution brings increased value as both companies have complementary technologies which, when combined, allow B2B Soft's retail customers to be discovered by new clients by embracing the fastest growing marketing channel: The Mobile App Ecosystem. Having new customers with expressed intent to purchase discover them in highly relevant hyper-local searches will drive highly qualified foot traffic directly to retailers' doors and deliver significant ROI.

Are You Beating Your Best with Wireless Standard’s Latest Integration?

Are You Beating Your Best with Wireless Standard's Latest Integration?

Beat Your Best ™ Integrated with Wireless Standard

New York, NY (PRWEB) March 23, 2011

Beat Your Best™, the premier sales proficiency and coaching tool is going to be integrated with B2B Soft's Wireless Standard, a robust RMS platform for Wireless Retailers, Indirect Dealers and Carrier Storefronts. Wireless Store Managers will be able to track individual and team sales performance with up to the minute reporting. Gone are the days of Sales Managers trying to help sales reps salvage their months with only days or hours to spare.

Mark Landiak, president of Corporate Dynamics Inc, and creator of the Beat Your Best Performance Management System, stated: "Increasing costs and carrier commission changes continue to impact store profitability. On top of that, Store Managers and front-line staff may not be properly equipped to deal with the new competitive pressures and new technologies that impact store traffic, revenues and profit. The lack of process and the lack of ability to coach performance often results in countless lost opportunities that are costing the dealers, tens of thousands of dollars in profit, in every store they have."

Beat Your Best is a performance management system that enables managers to coach the highest level of performance from every sales rep, more easily manage sales activities for month-over-month improvement, with the end result being measureable improvements in sales and profitability.

The Beat Your Best™ Dashboard, which will be integrated into the Wireless Standard RMS platform, enables sales reps to key in their stats at the end of each day and see how they stack up against their peers at store level and company-wide. It also enables manager to track in real-time how their reps stack up compared to their forecast and one another. Now managers can manage to real-time performance versus managing reactively.

With the integration of the BYB Dashboard into Wireless Standard, B2B Soft adds a powerful tool to help wireless retailers run their businesses more profitably. Unlike the other partner integrations, BYB focuses on individual and team sales performance.

"We're excited about integrating the Beat Your Best™ system into the Wireless Standard platform. The sales process is so much more than simply selling a product. In order to be truly successful, retailers have to effectively grow their sales teams to perform at high levels of proficiency which will then increase profitability," said Don Rossi, VP of Sales and Marketing for B2B Soft. "By offering the Beat Your Best™ system to our Wireless Standard customers, we are continuing the evolution from being just a Point-of-Sale system to being a fully equipped Platform complete with best-in-breed tools that our clients need to excel in the wireless industry."
