Retail Digital Celebrates the Professional Light and Sound Association

Business news source highlights key associations in industry.

2011-07-01

SAN DIEGO, CA, July 01, 2011 (Press-News.org) Retail Digital, the leading business news source for C-level executives in the retail industry, offers exclusive profiles on the associations and organizations leading the growth and development of its competitive industry. Recently, the news source highlighted the Professional Light and Sound Association - a group comprised of members of the entertainment industry involved in theatre, concerts, special events, film, TV and broadcast.

In 1987, a group of twenty-five companies came together to address common issues, create best practices and enhance buying power for their rent and sale of entertainment equipment. The association expanded its reach in the mid-90s to include companies and individuals involved in every aspect of the industry. Now in 2011, the members of PLASA make up the leading international body of those who supply technologies and services to the event, entertainment and installation industries.

One of the main initiatives of the Professional Light and Sound Association is to ensure the safety of audiences, performers and crew members at events and concerts. As technology advances, rigs add weight and additional equipment, the danger increases. To address these trends, the PLASA brought together a group of industry stakeholders including labor, employers and venues to create the Entertainment Technician Certification Program (ETCP). The program developed a rigorous certification process for entertainment riggers and electricians, now required for lead personnel at venues around North America.

Retail Digital offers daily updates on the different business sectors within the retail industry. Once a month, the brand releases its digital magazine, Retail Digital, which highlights top stories, including interviews with the major players, within the industry. Retail Digital also recognizes associations like the Professional Light and Sound Association who are influencing the retail industry on regional, national and international levels.

Why a Salt Water Pool is Better Than a Chlorine Pool

2011-07-01

In the traditional pool system, chlorine must be periodically added to the water in tablet form in order for the water to remain healthy and safe to swim in. The chemical chlorine helps to prevent harmful bacteria and algae from congregating in the pool. In a salt water pool system, a chlorine generator is used to transform sodium chloride ("salt") into chlorine. In this method, there is constant stream of chlorine in the pool for sanitation, and the pool owner does not have to repeatedly place chlorine tablets inside the pool. So, a salt water pool system is ...

Variation in susceptibility to a virus is the key to understanding infection biology

2011-07-01

A new study shows that differences in the vulnerability of animals to a virus are crucial to understanding patterns of infection, and that variation in susceptibility to two marginally different viruses increases the number of infections when the two virus variants are present in the same animal. This study, by researchers from the Netherlands and Spain, will be published on June 30th in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology. Models of virus infection often fail to predict how many animals will become infected and which virus variants will be present in the ...

Aircraft influence the local weather, new study shows

2011-07-01

This release is available in Arabic, Japanese and Chinese. As airplanes fly through the clouds, they often punch holes through the ones that contain supercooled water, or water that has remained in liquid form below its freezing point. Now, researchers say that this phenomenon can lead to increased snowfall around the world's major airports. The effect is similar to cloud seeding, which has been used in the past to influence the amount of precipitation falling from a cloud. But, new research shows that numerous private and commercial flights have been drilling holes ...

Reproductive behavior of the silkmoth is determined by a single pheromone receptor protein

2011-07-01

Pheromone preference, and the initiation of a complex programmed sexual behavior, is determined by the specificity of a single sex pheromone receptor protein expressed in a population of olfactory receptor neurons in the silkmoth (Bombyx mori). The study, which will be published on June 30th in the open-access journal PLoS Genetics, provides the first direct proof of the long-held belief that the control of sexual behavior in male moths originates in the chemical specificity of the pheromone receptor proteins expressed in pheromone receptor neurons. Sex pheromones are ...
