Exit Sign Warehouse Announces Town Hall Series On How To Prepare Your LED Exit Signs For Inclement Weather

Thousand Oaks, CA (PRWEB) October 10, 2012

Experts in the lighting want consumers to know that not all Exit signs are equal. If signs are exposed to rain, snow or sleet, even the best made standard Exit signs can experience electrical failures, which puts the public at risk for injury, and business owners at risk for costly lawsuits or government fines. According to the US governments Office of Compliance, The answer may seem obvious, but people often do not appreciate the importance of exit signs. When there is an emergency in a building, all occupants and visitors must be informed of the most efficient way to exit the building. Not every person is familiar with a buildings layout.

In response to the growing need for tougher exit signs, Exit Sign Warehouse is seeking to educate the public about wet weather exit signs. This winter season, they are highlighting The ESW-WL-EX series which has been designed to perform in applications where the climate would be a serious threat to basic signs. The entire internal cavity of the sign is protected from moisture invasion by an extremely resilient gasket. The gasketing is “hot-bonded” to the lens during the manufacturing process. This process greatly reduces the likelihood of gasket dryness and damage. The ESW-WL-EX also can be equipped with an optional thermostatically controlled heater for frigid climates.

While maintenance managers would be wise to inspect their facilities signage on a regular basis, they can rest assured that even in torrential downpours and snow storms their emergency exit signs will live up to performance standards and keep the public safe.

Doctor Who | Series 2 | Children in Need (2005)

This is the copy of the film as seen in the Region 2 DVD of the Complete Second Series, and it varies from the TV transmitted version (for some reason), that can be found on the Region 1 DVD and also the Complete First Series box set. It’s fine, but the recap of “The Parting of the Ways” has changed, there is no cloister bell sound and the incidental music varies. I only own the Region 2 DVD… This special short episode of Doctor Who was originally broadcast on 18th November 2005, for Children in Need. Also called “Born Again”, the episode is the first outing (albeit small) for David Tennant as the Doctor, once again alongside Billie Piper as Rose, his companion. It seamlessly strings together the season finale and the upcoming Christmas special.All the copyright & credit belongs solely to the BBC and the Doctor Who production team. I only upload these videos so that people who do not have another means of watching them can do so. I do not claim any copyright or ownership of the content.

Denis Boisclair Kicking School Will Host a National Camp Series (NCS) Evaluation Event in Quebec, QC, on July 22, 2012

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) July 18, 2012

Denis Boisclair Kicking School will host a National Camp Series (NCS) evaluation event in Quebec, QC, on July 22, 2012.

Denis Boisclair was drafted as a kicker by the Montreal Concordes of the CFL in 1985.

Most of the kickers and punters in Quebec, Canada are going through his teaching to progress to university level.

For Team Canada, more than half of the kickers selected for the past 10 years were attending the Denis Boisclair Kicking School. In Quebec, only the best kickers and punters attending CEGEP in the division 1 are most of the time 1 and 2 ranking for statistics. Christopher Milo was his first drafted by the CFL in 2011.

Denis his the kicking coach for the University of Montreal for the past 11 years.

Michael Husted, who created the National Camp Series (NCS) after kicking in the NFL for 9 years, says he is excited about the NCS season starting again so soon after a very successful NCS Super Camp in Orlando, Florida in February.

“2012 is shaping up to be the best year yet for the National Camp Series, says Husted. After a strong 2011, and having introduced our Kicking IndeX (KIX) Player Rating System, we are positioned extremely well to leverage analytics to showcase our athletes, and to provide objective high school kicking specialists statistics’ to college and university coaches.

Husted says that by utilizing its Kicking IndeX (KIX) Player Rating System, NCS provides an objective evaluation platform for student-athletes who want to showcase their capabilities to colleges and universities for recruiting purposes.

By sorting through over six years of historical event data, the KIX system determines a kickers rankings by cross-referencing player data to determine how the athletes stack up against others, both presently and historically.

“The NCS levels the playing field for those who don’t want to get caught up in all of the ‘politics’ that occurs in the kicking industry, says Husted. If you can kick, punt or snap, the NCS KIX system will let a young kicking specialists skills speak for themselves. No excuses. No explanations.”

Husted adds the NCS is not just about player rankings, but quality coaching as well.

NCS Associates are some of the best kicking coaches in the country and beyond our borders, says Husted. NCS coaches provide the highest quality instruction to high school kicking specialists around the country.

Husted says he is very happy to have a coach like Denis Boisclair as part of the NCS team.

Denis Boisclair is an excellent kicking coach, says Husted. Im looking forward to working with him this year on all his NCS events.
