No Sweat: Leader in High Tech Auto Sealing Now Makes Life More Comfortable in Chicken Coops, Too

Ann Arbor, MI (PRWEB) June 14, 2012

The company that keeps tens of millions of automobile interiors quiet and dry is also making life more comfortable in a much different environment: chicken coops. Jyco Sealing Technologies, a world leader in the sealing systems for car doors, moveable windows and engine compartments, announced today that it is supplying exhaust fan seals for poultry and egg production facilities.

The Jyco seal, which is made from an extruded rubber-plastic compound called TPV, replaces rubber seals that fatigue, discolor and cannot be recycled. According to Jyco, the new seals answer industry demands for reliable performance, increased durability, and improved aesthetics.

Airflow is extremely important to livestock production, says John McGovern, manager of Jycos Industrial Products Division. Comfortable birds eat better and produce more eggs, and the exhaust system is critical to the comfort of that environment. Excessive airflow can increase the mortality rate among young birds. Too little airflow will make it too hot and reduce the birds weight and egg productivity.

The new TPV exhaust fan seals last longer, conserve energy, cost less, and wont discolor. The old seals were rubber, which would fatigue and look nasty. In any application to do with food, you want everything to be as clean, tidy and consistent as possible.

Jyco TPV seals are better for the environment before, during and after their installation. The company processes its TPV without particulate or VOC emissions, and production scrap is directly recyclable. The new fan seals are made in part using http://www.jycosealingtechnologies.com/en/jygreen.php, technology that Jyco pioneered in 2007 to reclaim rubber from used tires and reprocess it into high performance extruded TPV sealing systems. And if the exhaust fan is ever replaced, Jycos seal can be recycled.

Jyco is headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and has manufacturing plants in Canada, Mexico and China. Jyco is the only supplier to have earned a Corporate TS/ISO/16949/9000 certification for Design, Testing, and Manufacturing of TPV seals.

Hartford, CT (PRWEB) August 22, 2012

The MetroHartford Alliance and its young professionals organization, HYPE, is pleased to be the organizer of 2012 Startup Weekend Hartford, part of a global grassroots movement of active and empowered entrepreneurs who are learning the basics of founding startups and launching successful ventures. This event brings together local software developers, graphic designers, marketers, product/business managers and startup enthusiasts to design a mobile app or build a viable business plan.

Startup Weekend Hartford is scheduled for the weekend of September 21-23 at the Hartford Public Library, located at 500 Main Street in Hartford. An Information Session for those interested in attending the event will be held at the Hartford Public Library on Wednesday, August 29 at 6:00 p.m.

This year the event will focus on health and wellness and participants are encouraged to focus on enhancing the health care experience or streamlining a personal approach to wellness. This makes Hartford only the second city in the world to organize an event focused on health care.

We thought it advantageous to host a vertical event because of the depth and diversity of the health care industry we have in the Hartford Region, said John Shemo, vice president and director of economic development for the MetroHartford Alliance. Between healthcare providers, insurers and medical manufacturers and the upcoming launch of Connecticut Health Council in November, we think this format will provide local entrepreneurs a unique and focused opportunity to get involved in an industry that is growing and thriving.

The event begins with participants pitching their startups and receiving feedback from their peers. One is not required to pitch an idea to participate. The group then forms teams around the top ideas. Over the course of the next 54 hours, each team focuses its energies on creating a business model plus coding, designing, and market validation. The weekend culminates with presentations in front of local entrepreneurial leaders who offer constructive feedback. Three winners will be named in the following categories: Judges Award, Peoples Choice Award and Social Enterprise Award.

The MetroHartford Alliance along with HYPE, is pleased to organize the event again after successfully facilitating an inaugural Startup Weekend in Hartford last year. Approximately 75 participants from the Metro Hartford Region came out to participate. Last years winner, Ryan Rose, VP of Technology at Fathom, said Startup Weekend was one of the best experiences of his career and is continuing to hone his app, SmallTalk, which allows people attending live events to start conversations over social media to break the ice.

Registration for Startup Weekend Hartford is $ 99 per person. An early bird rate of $ 75 is available to those registering before August 30. A discount rate of $ 25 is available to college students. Meals and refreshments will be provided. This event is sponsored by Connecticut, Light & Power, Yankee Gas; Updike, Kelly & Spellacy, P.C.; Day Pitney, LLP; Fiondella, Milone & LaSaracina, LLP; University of Connecticut; Wiggin and Dana, LLP; Universal Connectivity; and Black Bear Saloon.

Adventure Life Reviews New Guyana Tours: Surama Village Eco-Lodge, Karanambu Ranch, and Iwokrama Rainforest

Missoula, MT (PRWEB) June 27, 2012

The award-winning sustainable travel company Adventure Life has created two new Guyana tours designed for travelers looking to explore the countrys remote rainforests and savannas. The six-day Guyana Rainforest tour offers a quick overview of the rainforests and metropolitan life of the small South American country, while the 10-day Guyanas Savannas tour focuses on the Amazon watershed where remote Guyana rainforest lodges are the base for exploration. For more information on Guyana travel or Adventure Life reviews call 800-344-6118.

A USA Today story on Guyana recently noted that more than 80% of Guyana is virgin rainforest, said Adventure Life General Manager Jonathan Brunger. Guyana is truly the ultimate ecotourism destination and attracts only 2,500 visitors annually, which is roughly the number of tourists that visit Machu Picchu in a single day; it is truly an emerging, off-the-beaten-path destination.

Guyanas forests and rivers abound with wildlife, including species that are extinct or threatened worldwide. Long celebrated by birders for the incredible variety of bird species, wildlife enthusiasts will be captivated by the red howler monkeys, scarlet macaws, black caimans, and reclusive jaguars. The English-speaking country has a distinctive Caribbean flavor exhibited in the cuisine, art and language of the indigenous people. Guyana holidays offer a pristine paradise, boasting some of the most extensive contiguous rainforest in the world, and the chance to explore varied landscape from cascading waterfalls to grassy savannas.

Several commercial airlines fly from the capital city of Georgetown to the interior of Guyana, said Brunger. But most tourism is in the Rupununi region where a number of eco-lodges have formed a cooperative network. Guyana is a destination with logistical challenges, so using a reputable tour operator can be a major asset and time-saver for travelers.

The Adventure Life Guyanas Savannas tour is a wonderful holiday for travelers searching for pristine rainforest and abundant wildlife. The 10-day trip focuses on the “wild” interior in the Amazon watershed where remote lodges like Cara Lodge, a 150-year-old heritage house converted into a comfortable hotel, are the base for exploring the rainforest. This is the land of giant river otters, jaguars, black caiman, the giant anteater, and innumerable bird species in an environment still relatively untouched by humans. Guests explore the Iwokrama Rainforest, a vast wilderness of one million acres in the heart of one of four last untouched tropical forests of the world – The Guiana Shield of Northeastern South America. The Adventure Life Guyana Rainforest tour is a shorter trip designed for travelers who want to experience rainforests, see Kaieteur Falls (the worlds highest free-falling waterfall), visit Surama Village Eco-Lodge which offers a community-based experience in an Amerindian village, and explore Georgetown.

What I loved about working with and filming Mike and Ross is their ability to truly compliment each other as co-founders, each bringing their own value to the venture that makes it what it is, states Malachi Leopold co-creator of Trep Life. Their ability to be fully engaged and committed to their company’s growth and success, while also having boundaries that allow them to be committed to their families. It’s inspiring to see what they did with overcoming the challenges they faced when their growth almost killed the company. That kind of grit and determination – and success – gives viewers the ability to confront and overcome the challenges they face growing their ventures.

Now small businesses, one-man shops and individuals anywhere can tap into a global pool of creatives for logo design, web design, company name, product name, packaging design, and many other graphic design, industrial design and writing projects. crowdSPRING opens new markets for creativity all the world over.

Here are the themes Mike and Ross describe in the episode:


A Vision Goes a Long Way: Articulate a clear idea and set clear goals for where you are going and what you want to accomplish.

Power to the Team: Empower your team, and dont micromanage. Entrepreneurs dont have all of the answers so listen to your team and learn from them just as you hope they will learn from you.

Need Courage: Be a risk-taker and say what needs to be said. Just do it nicely and dont forget to say please and thank you.

“We love to promote entrepreneurship, which is one of the reasons we are so pleased to share our start-up story, some thoughts about success, and some of the challenges we have experienced, with other entrepreneurs, said Mike Samson and Ross Kimbarovsky, co-founders of crowdSPRING.
