The Canary Party and Grassroots Autism Organizations Call for Firings of Health Officials in the Wake of New Autism Numbers


New York, NY (PRWEB) April 02, 2012

The Canary Party and other grass roots organizations gathered today to demand drastic action in response to the governments failures in addressing the autism epidemic, after CDC releases new autism numbers showing that the autism rate doubled in five years.

This morning, the Canary Party joined a group of grassroots autism organizations in a in Manhattan to discuss how we have reached the catastrophic rate of 1 in 88 children, and 1 in 54 boys, having autism in this country. The Age of Autism, AutismOne, Autism Action Network, Autism File, The Canary Party, Center for Personal Rights, The Coalition for Safe Minds, Elizabeth Birt Center for Autism Law and Advocacy, Focus Autism, National Autism Association and Talk About Curing Autism have declared that this is a national health emergency, and that our government has failed us.

The video from the press conference can be found at http://CanaryParty.org.

The Canary Party and her partners believe that the current situation is intolerable and will not remain silent, watching more children and more families face the overwhelming burdens of autism. Together our groups are demanding that:

After George is downsized out of his job, they find themselves with only one option: to move in with George’s awful brother in Atlanta. On the way there, George and Linda stumble upon Elysium, an idyllic community populated by colorful characters who embrace a different way of looking at things. Money? It can’t buy happiness. Careers? Who needs them? Clothes? Only if you want them. Is Elysium the fresh start George and Linda need? Or will the change of perspective cause more problems than it solves?

Duane Park Presents Drew Nugent and The Midnight Society: An Evening of Traditional Jazz and Burlesque in Manhattan


, NY (PRWEB) February 15, 2012

On Monday, February 20th, legendary restaurant and live music venue Duane Park presents, for the first time, ambassadors of red hot jazz, Drew Nugent and The Midnight Society. From 8pm to 11:30pm The Midnight Society, along with Spanish Burlesque temptress Medianoche, will fill Duane Park’s dining room with the style and spirit of a bygone era. The band will play both beloved and lesser known melodies spanning the early 20th century, everything from Louis Armstrong to Walter Donaldson. Elegant dress is encouraged, and there will be room for dancing. Hors d’oeuvres and a full bar await winter-weary music lovers. Admission is $ 15 cash at the door, and Duane Park is located at 157 Duane Street in lower Manhattan.

The Midnight Society specializes in popular music from 1900 to 1935, playing on vintage instruments, they strive to keep their sound authentic yet individual. Playing up and down the East coast they have gained a name for themselves as a high-energy, knowledgeable group of melody-makers. Drew Nugent, the band’s leader, an accomplished pianist and trumpeter, is also the voice behind the Midnight Society, wailing vocals with a soul richly influenced by singers of the past such as Al Bowlly, Red McKenzie, Papa Charlie Jackson, and Sophie Tucker.

Zazum Unveils 2-Screen Shop-While-You-Watch, and Advertisers are Dying to Participate


, NY (PRWEB) July 26, 2011

Fans who have wanted to buy Lindsay Lohans white court house dress, or spent days trying to find that blouse Nancy Botwin wore on Weeds are going to love what Zazum is doing. Shoppable Shorts are videos full of products that viewers can buy as they watch using Zazums iPhone App, SeeLoveBuy As you watch the video with the app on, items in the film pop up on your phone. You can see food, clothes, jewelry, and accessories, find out about the designers, and buy what you like, explained Susan Rits, CEO and Founder.

Zazum released their first shoppable this month on iTunes and Vimeo. Milkmade in Manhattan is a six-minute documentary about a business woman, featured recently on The Rachel Ray Show, who makes gourmet ice cream for a select group of customers. But what makes this video unique is that its chock full of clothes and jewelry from local NYC designers that you can buy while you watchincluding the ice cream.

Unlike television shopping channels that are a string of promotional spots for productsnothing more than long adsShoppable Shorts are entertainment in their own right. They are definitely not commercials, Rits emphasized. If you didnt already know youd never guess you could buy all the products in them.

The response from local artists and merchants has been tremendous. Since the only cost to advertisers is a small sales commission, and then only if they make a sale through SeeLoveBuy, barriers to entry couldnt be lower. Everyone wants into the projectwere over-booked for the next film, and already nearly at capacity for the one after that, Rits explained.

This is the first in a series of films in production. As part of our pilot program, weve started a channel on iTunes and Vimeo that were planning to fill with interesting short films that are also shoppable, Rits said. In the works now is a 5-min video about a dinner party featuring home goods and gourmet food available for purchase. In addition, Zazum will be adding designers lookbooks to the channel, full of limited-edition clothes, accessories and jewelry

While a Shoppable Shorts channel is great summer fun, Zazum has bigger plans for its technology. It will be announcing its network debut this fall with several advertisers already queued up and ready to go, and a big advertiser in the wings, watching to see how it all shakes out.

There is nothing new about affinity marketing using television shows. But until now, there was no simple way for audiences to make a purchase while the impulse is strongestwhile theyre watching the show. Its not hard to see the kind of revenue impact this could have on network series with audiences of 10-15 million viewers. Imagine if shows like Extreme MakeoverHome Edition triggered the phones of 100,000 audience members with information about how and where to buy the products theyre looking at, Rits pointed out. We’re showing networks how to take advantage of this untapped revenue source.

Fans are pretty excited too. Weve gotten amazingly enthusiastic responses from almost every TV fan weve polled. Everyone has a story about some item they saw on their favorite television show and spent days or weeks trying to track down, with limited success, Rits says. Weve actually had people tell us exactly what TV shows they want to see this forGossip Girl and Portlandia are at the top of the list.

About Zazum

Zazum, Inc. is the pioneering provider of a revolutionary 2screen mobile commerce platform. SeeLoveBuy, Zazum’s mobile app, enables audiences to learn more about and instantly purchase the things they see and love on television and in movies. Our groundbreaking technology doesnt just tell you what show youre watching, but what product in each show youre looking atthe moment it crosses the screen.

Greenhouse New Years Eve 2012

Greenhouse 2012
Event on 2011-12-31 20:00:00
Description

This New Year’s Eve, make a difference! Start 2012 on your right environmentally conscious (Louboutin wearing) foot! Go green at City’s first eco-friendly, LEED* registered nightclub – Greenhouse. Mother Earth’s going to love you for it! Located in the vibrant neighborhood of SoHo, rises 2011’s most celebrated nightclub du jour, Greenhouse, a lush eco-friendly nightlife oasis amidst the urban jungle of Manhattan.

Nightlife impresario Jon B has outdone himself! Noted as the mastermind behind two of the hottest nightclubs of the past decade, Home & Guesthouse, he has forged ahead into the next decade by changing the landscape of nightlife design by creating New York City’s first LEED registered nightclub. For those not familiar with the term, you may ask what is LEED certification? To give a quick Eco-Friendly 101 lesson, LEED certification is a designation granted by the U.S. Green Building Council for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design whereas:

* Everything from building materials and garbage disposal, energy and water usage are regulated and reduced
* Walls and floors are made of sustainable bamboo
* LED light bulbs are used which use 1/13th of the energy of a regular light bulb
* Staff uniforms are made in Africa by Edun, a clothing company owned by Bono and his wife, Alison Hewson
* Electricity for the sound system and the rest of the club is 100% wind-powered
* Even the toilets save 15,000 gallons annually (We don’t need to go into the ins and outs of how it’s done)

Now that you see how fabulously unique this New Year’s Eve party experience is going to be, get ready to rock, revel, dance and prance in supreme eco-friendly style! From the moment you step into Greenhouse’s sprawling 6000sf ultra-luxe bi-level space, you’ll know you’ve arrived at the most captivating and glamorous “tree-house” in New York City. In true sophisticated, velvet-roped fashion of Manhattan’s smoldering hot VIP nightclub circuit, Greenhouse is the premier lounge where exclusivity reigns supreme. Celebrities, socialites, supermodels and A-list patrons have all been captured at play in one of Greenhouse’s many exclusive banquettes on the pages of In Touch, Us Magazine, Daily News and New York Magazine. We hate to gossip…but we can’t resist! Celebrity sightings at Greenhouse include:

* Kourtney Kardashian
* Alicia Keys
* Rihanna
* Drake
* Leonardo DiCaprio
* Jay Z
* Estelle
* Katy Perry
* Tony Romo
* Black Eyed Pea’s Will.I.Am
* Gabrielle Union
* Adrian Grenier
* LL Cool J
* Victoria Secret’s Selita Ebanks
* Scott Disick

…and the mega watt list of stars just keeps going!

It isn’t always easy being green – and in the case of Greenhouse, no expense was spared, costing 40% more to build using sustainable materials than in traditional construction. Now that’s dedication to our planet. Every inch of Greenhouse’s décor is tres eye-popping eco-chic! The bedazzling recycled glass crystals and eight various types of red leaves adorning the entire ceiling set a playful tone while the flashing LED lights keeping to the beat of the state of the art 100% wind-powered sound system heats up the night.

Highlights to your fabulous New Year’s Eve bash include:

* 6 hour premium open bar 9pm – 3am
* Midnight champagne toast
* A delectable selection of hors d’oeuvres (9pm-11:30pm)
* A live performance by a world renowned DJ spinning sets of hip hop, dance, 80′s, rock and Top 40 hits
