CLIMsystems Receives 2011 CCBJ Business Achievement Award for Climate Change Adaptation Technology

Hamilton, New Zealand (PRWEB) January 25, 2012

Climate Change Business Journal? (CCBJ), a business research publication which provides high value strategic business intelligence to the climate change industry, has honored 31 companies for their contributions to mitigating climate change in 2011.

?CCBJ recognized a number of innovative projects that either broke ground or saw their way to completion in 2011 in wind, energy storage, carbon capture & storage and adaptation,? said Grant Ferrier, president of Environmental Business International Inc. (EBI, San Diego), publisher of Climate Change Business Journal.

CLIMsystems is pleased to announce that it was chosen to receive the CCBJ award for technology in the area of adaptation and risk assessment.

CLIMsystems was recognized for achieving a leading position in the climate change risk and adaptation assessment industry. Evidence of the firm?s accomplishment in this regard can be seen in the extensive citation of models generated with the company?s SimCLIM software. The guidance document on sea level rise issued in October 2011 by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Task Group on Data and Scenario Support for Impacts and Climate Analysis shows SimCLIM?s unique abilities in sea level rise assessments.

CLIMsystems has taken technology developed in a university environment and made it commercially available for governments, research institutions, academics, multilateral lending agencies and consulting & engineering firms such as CLIMsystems? partners and affiliates CH2M HILL and Stratus Consulting. In 2011, the SimCLIM modeling system was used in coastal assessments in the Philippines and Alexandria, Virginia, USA. CLIMsystems has also assisted with capacity building and reporting for the UNFCCC Second National Communications Projects in Vanuatu, Tuvalu, the Marshall Islands, Solomon Islands, Nauru, and Eritrea. Further projects were completed in China on agriculture and climate change and bottom up and top down planning to ameliorate climate risk in Albay Province in the Philippines. Both Asian projects were funded through the Asia Pacific Network and supported by SimCLIM software and CLIMsystems expertise. Vietnam?s Institute of Meteorology, Hydrology, and Environment has also adopted the SimCLIM software system for climate assessments and Institute staff have received extensive training.

CLIMsystems? strength lies within the wide range of SimCLIM?s end users. Maelpo Maiai of Griffith University in Australia noted the he was ?truly fortunate to have been introduced to the team at CLIMsystems.? He found the SimCLIM software for climate risk and adaptation assessment to be user friendly and reliable, ?by using SimCLIM, I am able to test with a strong degree of confidence my research hypothesis on existing and future climate change and variability.?

Similarly Emily Gaskin who is a Policy Analyst with the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries/NOAA and is based in American Samoa was looking for useful tools to inform climate change management and to test adaptation strategies in marine and coastal areas. She found that ?SimCLIM was the perfect tool because it provided user-friendly models that I could apply and modify with minimal training. The visual outputs presented excellent policy tools to help inform management decisions and solicit grant funding to further our program goals.?

In New Zealand, Dr. Kathleen Kozyniak, Senior Scientist (Climate and Air) at Hawkes Bay Regional Council said "SimCLIM is very useful for getting a local perspective of climate change.? She particularly liked being able to input and analyse climate data from local sites, being able to choose between scenarios and sensitivities and to pick any year of interest. Kathleen also found it useful to have the impact models ? ?the water balance one proving useful for me.? She also was happy to know that the data would be updated with future Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessments.

Software links have been developed between CLIMsystems? SimCLIM software system and the Decision Support Systems for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) run by a consortium of Universities in the United States and the new eWater product range developed in Australia. The eWater software link was, in part, supported by a grant from the New Zealand Ministry of Science and Innovation. Links between SimCLIM and industry standard software products strengthens planning and decision making processes by permitting more software to be run with consideration of future climate change.

CLIMsystems is also the primary developer of GENIES (Global Environment and National Information Evaluation System) for climate change impact and cost-benefit analysis of adaptation options for urban areas. The GENIES project is being funded by the Asian Development Bank and will service five of the major global development banks covering the Asia-Pacific, Africa and Latin America.

CLIMsystems has also launched a new monitoring and evaluation (M & E) service for climate change adaptation and development projects. Monitoring and evaluation will ensure local needs are better met through an extra check and balance often missing from donor projects. Garath Johnson of Future Ready PTY in Australia said that ?local networks and knowledge are equally critical and I therefore welcome CLIMsystems initiative. CLIMsystems has local, regional and global adaptation experience backed by sector leading technology that is invaluable for decision makers.?

With a scientific advisory panel of Nobel laureates and leading climate scientists, as partners supporting software developments, training and service delivery, CLIMsystems is positioned to maintain leadership in understanding and translating climate science risk into decisions and action for climate resilience.

TextAloud Receives da Vinci Award Nomination!

Clemmons, NC (PRWEB) July 20, 2011

As an easy way to listen to almost any computer text, TextAloud, the PC software from NextUp.com, has become a useful resource for those battling learning, reading and visual disabilities. For these powerful assistive technology uses, and more, TextAloud has now been honored with a nomination by the 2011 da Vinci Awards (R) in the "Communication/Educational Aids" award category.

TextAloud is the Text to Speech software that allows anyone to listen to their reading on the PC, or on the go. The software is priced from $ 29.95, and will not only read almost any PC text aloud in natural-sounding computer speech (from e-mails, to websites, PDFs, documents, and more), but will also export that text to audio files that can be listened to via iPods, iPhones, assorted MP3 players, or a wide range of other portable devices.

"NextUp.com has received an overwhelming response from users living with disabilities and their loved ones, on how TextAloud has transformed their lives," comments NextUp.com President Rick Ellis. "We're truly honored at its nomination by the da Vinci (R) Awards."

TextAloud enables those with dyslexia, reading or learning disabilities to do their learning and reading by ear, where many are strongest, allowing them to bypass the visual element that may slow down reading comprehension. With word highlighting as the text is spoken, TextAloud also enables these users to "read along" visually, to strengthen reading and comprehension through visual reinforcement of the listening material. This option also enables dyslexics to proof by ear in order to catch mistakes (and most of all, homophones) that might go uncaught when using a traditional spell-check.

For a broad spectrum of visually disabled users, meanwhile, TextAloud offers an inexpensive alternative to screen readers, which can be highly expensive to purchase. TextAloud also offers access to an array of inexpensive yet far more human-sounding and naturalistic Premium Voices, a definite plus, as screen readers are known for their often robotic voice qualities.

The da Vinci Awards will announce finalists in early December, with the awards ceremony itself to take place on September 22, 2011, at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.

About the 2011 da Vinci Awards (R):

In 2001, the Michigan Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society established the da Vinci Awards (R), an annual gala event which has become a prestigious international forum of recognition for the most innovative developments and research in adaptive and assistive technology. It is the only awards program in the world to both celebrate people who triumph over disabilities and to honor those who have developed new technologies and innovations that enhance mobility and enable people to function at their fullest. For more information, visit http://www.davinciawards.org.

About TextAloud:

With more personalization options than ever before, TextAloud is the highly useful PC program for students, scientists, writers, business users, students and people from all walks of life. TextAloud enables anyone to experience their reading by listening, and has been featured in The New York Times, PC Magazine, Writer's Digest, on CNN, and more.

Hailed by critics and users alike, TextAloud is priced from $ 29.95. System requirements include almost any version of Windows (R) (from 98 to Me, NT, 2000, XP or Vista), as well as a minimum of 64 MB of RAM, 10 MB of disk space, and a sound card. TextAloud even works seamlessly with iTunes (R), for easy synchronizing with iPod (R), iPhone (R), or other iTunes (R)-compatible portable audio players, and unlike often prohibitively priced gadgets or eReaders, TextAloud doesn't require special hardware of any kind.

NextUp.com also offers TextAloud with optional Premium Voices from Nuance RealSpeak (TM), AT&T Natural Voices (TM), Acapela (R) and Cepstral (R) for the most natural-sounding computer speech anywhere. Available languages include U.S. English, U.K. English, Indian-Accent English, Scottish-Accent English, Arabic, Basque, Catalan, Cantonese Chinese, Mandarin Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Belgian Dutch, Faroese, Finnish, French, Canadian French, German, Greek, Hindi, Icelandic, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, Russian, Castilian (European) Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Mexican Spanish, Swedish, Taiwanese, and Turkish.

Award Winning Mac Content Creation Software Launched for Windows

Truro, United Kingdom (PRWEB) November 07, 2011

Literature & Latte Ltd is pleased to announce the launch of Scrivener 1.0 for Windows, available for purchase today, November 7th 2011. (http://www.scrivenerforwindows.com).

First launched for the Mac in 2007, Scrivener is an award-winning application dedicated to the structuring and composition of long texts such as novels, screenplays, reports, legal documents, theses and research documents.

Designed especially for creating first drafts of long documents by writers using multiple sources, unlike most word processors and page layout programs, Scrivener's toolset is dedicated to the creation of content rather than formatting.

Features such as split screen and the ability to import media documents including web pages, images, sound, video and PDF files allow writers to refer to research as they write, without switching between documents or programs.

Meanwhile, Scrivener's fully integrated corkboard and outliner allow users to plan ahead - or restructure their work after the first draft is finished.

A host of other tools such as statistics and targets and a name generator are also at users? fingertips.

Once completed, drafts can be printed directly from Scrivener, exported to a variety of common word processor file formats for final formatting and submission, or exported to e-book formats for self publishing.

Scrivener for Windows has been developed in response to requests from writers, academics and professionals seeking a PC-based program with the capabilities of Scrivener for the Mac.

Key features include:

Edit Multiple Documents
Split your project to create limitless documents in the same draft and edit them separately, or merge them dynamically and edit them as a whole.

Corkboard
Virtual index cards store a synopsis for every document you create. Storyboard and rearrange your project by moving these around on the corkboard.

Outline
A fully-featured outliner helps you take control of the structure of your work. Use the outliner to plan first and write later, or write first and use the outliner to make sense of that messy first draft.

Full Screen Editing
View your text in full screen for distraction-free composition.

Snapshots
Take a snapshot of a document then edit and rewrite in the confidence that you can restore an earlier revision at any time.

Collections
Create collections to keep arbitrary lists of documents and research, independent of their regular order. Track documents that need attention or use Saved Search Collections to generate automatically-updated lists of related documents.

Compile
Assemble your finished draft for printing or exporting to your favourite word processor for final formatting. Export to web or e-book formats for self-publishing. With support for footnotes and comments and the ability to reformat your work during this stage, you can produce submission-ready novel manuscripts and much more.

NOTES FOR EDITORS:

Scrivener has been enthusiastically adopted by a range of professionals including novelists, screenwriters, lawyers, journalists and academics, with bestselling novelist Michael Marshall Smith describing it as "the biggest software advance for writers since the word processor".
