Advanced New eGreetings Website Launches

Our mission is to promote singer-songwriters and filmmakers, revolutionize the eCard market and bring a smile to our consumers faces.

2011-06-10

NEW YORK, NY, June 10, 2011 (Press-News.org) An innovative new eGreetings website, www.iAttachments.com, officially opens for business today. For a $20 annual fee subscribers can send an unlimited number of greetings over the Internet. The distinctiveness of the service is 1) a short film with a song or a lyric video that tells a story appropriate for the greeting occasion, and 2) the core greeting is customized by the sender with an animated "envelope" preceding the film and an animated digital closing personalized with a message to the recipient follows
the film. Subscribers may also use the site's licensed songs to make their own unique slideshows.

Founder and CEO Jeff Locke has been perfecting the business model as well as making short films and producing songs for the site's media library since 2004. "Broadband penetration pushed the viability of the business beyond the tipping point," he said. "Immediacy, lower cost, feedback and extra-sensory features make multi-media eCards the superior way to convey your heart felt sentiments to those you care about. Greetings sent via iAttachments.com can drive improved interpersonal relationships," he added. The business is based in New York City.

The service is compatible with all major browsers such as Explorer, Safari, Firefox and Chrome, and terminals that support Flash media protocol with a broadband connection. No other downloaded application software is required. All media on the site, including all songs, have been properly licensed.

The streamed film library represents a rare opportunity for short filmmakers to monetize their work. Until now, the marketplace for short filmmakers, animators and videographers has largely been limited to sites like YouTube, where they could post their work for free. No longer. The film library features three shorts (So Long For Now, a 2005 Academy Award entry for Best Film - Live Action Short, Forever Is A Day and Congratulations On Your Deevorce) by directors Bill Ross and Turner Ross, winners of the Roger Ebert "Truer Than Fiction" Award at the 2010 Independent Spirit Awards.

Written and performed by RENT star and Tony Award nominee, Adam Pascal, the library also includes the song Single Drop of You and its accompanying film. Jason Priestley, star of Aaron Spelling's hit TV series 90210, directed the Toronto MobiFest featured short film, Downhill Drumming. Other show business luminaries include songwriters Paul Hampton and Buzz Cason, whose music has been recorded by Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Rosanne Cash, Gloria Estefan, Bruce Springsteen, Jimmy Buffet and George Strait.

If you would like more information, or to schedule an interview with Jeff Locke, please call Jennifer T. Locke at 347-426-7013 or email Jennifer at JenniferTLocke@gmail.com.

www.iAttachments.com is a totally new revenue opportunity for recording owners, songwriters, music publishers and film makers. The basic idea is to take an existing recording (mostly unpublished or under - appreciated songs) and marry it with a short film produced by an independent film maker. The songs and accompanying films are chosen to be in the library because they lend themselves to "greeting" occasions. The result is an "iAttachment." Subscribers to this web- based service get to send (via a streaming session, not a download) any amount of these iAttachments for $20 per year. Subscribers get to electronically customize this new form of greeting fore and aft like they would a paper card (see the two examples on line).

'Super varieties' of wheat expected to boost yields and block deadly threat to food security

2011-06-10

ST. PAUL, MN—Five years after the launch of a global effort to protect the world's most important food crop from variants of Ug99, a new and deadly form of wheat rust, scientists say they are close to producing super varieties of wheat that will resist the potent pathogen, while boosting yields by as much as 15 percent. According to research to be presented at a global wheat rust symposium in Minneapolis starting June 13, scientists report that variants of the Ug99 strain of stem rust are becoming increasingly virulent and are being carried by wind beyond the handful of ...

NASA's infrared image of major Hurricane Adrian reveals its stormy life's blood

2011-06-10

Strong thunderstorms are the life's blood of tropical cyclones, and infrared and radar satellite data from NASA today confirms that the eastern Pacific Ocean's first hurricane has plenty of them and they're over 9 miles high. Adrian exploded in growth overnight from a tropical storm on June 8 to a major hurricane today. NASA's Aqua satellite flew over Hurricane Adrian this morning at 8:29 UTC (1:59 a.m. EDT), and the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder instrument took an infrared snapshot of the storm's many strong thunderstorms and warm ocean water below. The infrared data ...

Fragile X protein acts as toggle switch in brain cells

2011-06-10

New research shows how the protein missing in fragile X syndrome – the most common inherited form of intellectual disability – acts as a molecular toggle switch in brain cells. The fragile X protein, called FMRP, hooks up with a group of molecules called microRNAs to switch the production of other proteins on and off in response to chemical signals, scientists at Emory University School of Medicine have discovered. The results appear in the June 10 issue of Molecular Cell. "For learning and memory to take place, neurons need to be able to make new proteins on demand, ...

Stretched-out low soaking the Caribbean in GOES-13 satellite imagery

2011-06-10

GOES-13 satellite imagery on June 9 shows that the pesky low pressure area in the north Caribbean Sea is stretching out and bringing soaking rains to Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica and Puerto Rico. The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite called GOES-13 captured an image of this low on June 9 at 1740 UTC (1:40 p.m. EDT) System 94L, and the cloud cover appears centered over eastern Cuba and Jamaica while the outer portion of the low stretches over Hispaniola, Puerto Rico and now south Florida. The elongated low has a minimum central pressure of 1001 millibars and ...

Engaging high school students in soil science inquiry

2011-06-10

In April 2007, teacher Irka Elsevier and then-graduate student Biance Moebius-Clune began their second inquiry unit designed to enable high school students to better understand soil science concepts through their own research and experiments. Moebius-Clune was an NSF fellow in the Cornell Science Inquiry Partnerships (CSIP) program, which allowed the pair to develop inquiry curriculum to guide students through the process of doing research themselves. Soil is fundamental to life and relevant to some of today's most pressing global issues, such as climate change and demand ...

NASA provides a 2-satellite view and video of the Chilean volcano eruption

2011-06-10

NASA's Aqua satellite and the GOES-13 satellite both captured their own unique views of the eruption of the Puyehue-Cordón Caulle volcano in Chile this week. One satellite provided a high-resolution image of the ash plume while the other provided a video showing the plumes movement over several days. NASA's GOES Project released a satellite animation of the Puyehue-Cordón Caulle volcano that shows the movement of the ash plume over several days. The NASA GOES Project, located at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. created the animation from images obtained ...

Asteroid served up 'custom orders' of life's ingredients

2011-06-10

Some asteroids may have been like "molecular factories" cranking out life's ingredients and shipping them to Earth via meteorite impacts, according to scientists who've made discoveries of molecules essential for life in material from certain kinds of asteroids and comets. Now it appears that at least one may have been less like a rigid assembly line and more like a flexible diner that doesn't mind making changes to the menu. In January, 2000, a large meteoroid exploded in the atmosphere over northern British Columbia, Canada, and rained fragments across the frozen surface ...

AgriLife research helps pave the way for a new livestock feed product

2011-06-10

AMARILLO – A two-year study by a Texas AgriLife Research team in Amarillo has helped bring a new product to market that could allow the cattle feeding industry to realize efficiencies in mills and more weight on cattle, according to Dr. Jim MacDonald. MacDonald, an AgriLife Research beef cattle nutritionist, finished his second trial of cattle early this year studying starter diets in feedlots during the transition phase from pasture to feed yard. Typically, a steer or heifer will come off of a forage diet when it goes into the feedlot, he explained. For the first ...

NASA's Dawn spacecraft approaches protoplanet Vesta

2011-06-10

NASA's Dawn mission to the doughnut-shaped asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, which launched in September 2007, is now approaching Vesta, a protoplanet that is currently some 143 million miles from Earth. Many surprises are likely awaiting the spacecraft. "We often refer to Vesta as the smallest terrestrial planet," said Christopher T. Russell, a UCLA professor of geophysics and space physics and the mission's principal investigator. "It has planetary features and basically the same structure as Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. But because it is so small, it does ...
