Changers, the company that gives people the power to transform their energy behavior, is launching the Changers System, the worlds first Social Energy Marketplace on the Web: http://www.changers.com. The Changers System enables people to produce their own energy, measure how much they produce, and convert it into a currency thats backed by the sun. Today, to jump-start all of us into independent power generators, Changers is debuting an intelligent personal solar charging kit that captures energy, records how much power it has generated, and then uploads precise metrics to the energy marketplaceChangers.comfor tracking, sharing, competing and redemption into Changers Credits.

The Changers Starter Kit includes the revolutionary Changers Kalhuohfummi solar battery and the Changers Maroshi solar module. The Changers Kalhuohfummi is a simple, one-button device that communicates with Changers.com. Inside is advanced intelligence that accurately measures how much energy it captures and stores in the built-in battery, ready to charge any smartphone or tablet. The Changers Kalhuohfummi solar battery is powered by the Changers Maroshi flexible solar module, which generates up to four Watts per hour enough to charge the Kalhuohfummi battery in four hours. The Changers Maroshi solar panel, which is produced in Colorado, USA, can be attached to any window or sunny surface.

Each of us takes it for granted that we have limitless energy on tap, and as a result we have become completely disconnected from how our actual energy usage impacts the planet, said Markus Schulz, co-founder and CEO of Changers. The Changers System aims to shift our attitudes and behavior by enabling each of us to produce our own energy, measure and visualize the real effect of this simple act, and then share our contributions with others. We think that if you can unite people in the pursuit of renewable energy even small amounts of energy it will lead to a dramatic transformation in how we source and consume energy.

Make a decision. Produce your own energy. Change the world. Heres how:

Lucas Distribution Debuts Machine Industry Forum Ad Campaigns

Atlanta. GA (PRWEB) August 23, 2011

Lucas Distribution, the Atlanta-based supplier of office equipment and security hardware, currently has ad campaigns on two online machinery forums for its Dongle Lockbox products. Advertisements will appear on CNCZone.com and PracticalMachinist.com.

Lucas Distributions Dongle Lockbox product targets users of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software products. Lucas Distribution wanted to make the lockbox available on these machine industry forums that provide product discussions and exchanges for their visitors.

Many of the CAD/CAM software companies protect their software by requiring a USB dongle key to activate the software on each PC. The USB Dongle Lockbox is available as a single lockbox and duo lockbox that will secure two USB dongles. Without the dongle key plugged into the PCs USB port, the software will not operate properly. The lockbox protects the dongle key from theft or loss by enclosing the dongle in a locked container and securing the container to a fixed object such as a PC case, desk drawer handle, or an anchor point, which is provided by Lucas Distribution.

PracticalMachinist.com and CNCZone.com are both widely read by the machine tool community. Lucas Distributions Managing Partner, Gary Lucas, says, "We are proud to partner with PracticalMachinist.com and CNCZONE.com to inform their readers about our Dongle Lockbox products."

The Dongle Lockbox Kit by Lucas Distribution consists of a secure ABS plastic enclosure, six foot USB Extender, combination lock with steel locking cable, and the Flex Foot & Cable Nut to use as an anchor point. The kit comes with instructions and adhesive to secure the Flex Foot to a solid surface.

Lucas Distribution also offers printer paper tray locks, storage and file cabinet locks, laptop or notebook cable locks, refrigerator locks, tamper resistant RX paper and copier cabinets.

Legacy Debuts Products Inspired by Legendary Horsewomen

Castalia, North Carolina (PRWEB) August 22, 2011

If youve never heard of the women who took professional rodeo by storm in the late 1800sriding in skirts, mind youyoure not alone. If youre inspired by the bravery of these women defying stereotypes and taking on the world, youll love the collection of rare gallery prints and apparel celebrating their spirit offered by Legacy, an online boutique opening today.

THE INSPIRATION

When entrepreneur Jennifer Gray first saw the extensive collection, most taken by R.R. Doubleday, a well-known rodeo photographer of the era, she was thrilled. Together with business partner Amy Tanis, she procured the rights to the photos and then set out to research the origins of their subjects. The journey eventually took them to the Library of Congress where they found a wealth of information about the women in the photos and the dynamic lives they led.

We instantly fell in love with these women and their incredible stories, said Legacy co-founder Amy Tanis. Jennifer and I both have chosen non-traditional paths in life and overcome some obstacles, and the idea of women who just decided to follow their dreams inspired usnot just to build a business, but a business that celebrates that inspiration.

The stories behind the inspiration are legendary. Bronc-riding Prairie Rose Henderson died mysteriously, her remains identified by her rodeo trophy belt buckle. Bonnie Gray turned her back on her music degree to be crowned Champion Trick Rider and make a living performing stunts for male movie cowboys. Many suffered serious injuries and some died from injuries sustained during competition. Several of the women are inductees into the Cowgirl Hall of Fame and the Rodeo Hall of Fame, and all paved the way for generations of women who love to ride. Weve put these womens remarkable stories front and center in our unique clothing and gallery-quality prints, said Gray. And since Amy and I share a love for horses, all of our products celebrate the cowgirls and horsewomen who battled prejudices and traditions during that time period. Remember, these women werent allowed to vote, or even wear pants! They left an amazing legacy, and we want to inspire others to do the same.

THE PRODUCTS

At launch, the gallery print collection will feature 10 vintage photographs that have been painstakingly restored and reproduced. Buyers can customize their prints choosing from eight frame options that range from rustic wood to fancy scrollwork, and with the click of the mouse can see their prints in the chosen frames. The prints are then professionally framed, using conservation framing techniques, preserving prints for a lifetime of enjoyment. Each print is delivered within 5-7 days and is accompanied by a biographical sketch of the subject, allowing the buyer to own a true piece of history. The Legacy apparel line offered at launch is comprised of T-shirts and hats that bear the photographs of the women, paired with inspirational, empowering, and often amusing phrases. The T-shirts come in fitted and comfy sizes and are of highest quality cotton, in a destroyed style that gives them their vintage feel. All T-shirts include artwork with a soft touch, direct to garment print on front and back including the companys tag line: Legacy Create yours.

Legacy will donate 20% of the proceeds from the Hero T-shirt to Compass to Care, an organization that arranges transportation for children receiving cancer treatments. As a survivor of childhood cancer, the cause hits close to home for Amy.

The apparel collection will feature eight designs to start, with more from the collection to be released in 2012. Amy and Jennifer are encouraged by the early reception the products have received and are already working on the next offering from the brand: jewelry.

ABOUT LEGACY

Founded in 2011, Legacy sells high-quality apparel and gallery prints celebrating the spirit of the trailblazing cowgirls and horsewomen who defied stereotypes by competing with men in professional rodeo at the dawn of the 20th Century. Legacys complete product line and more information can be found at the companys online boutique at http://www.legacy-createyours.com.
