World Water Day Concert

March 22, 2013 is the UN's 'World Water Day,' and this year in support of Water.org a 'World Water Day Concert' is being held in New York. 

The event will be a celebration of water, with a breathtaking mix of New Age piano music, creation of multi-media relatedness, along with inspirational art & beauty. A portion of the proceeds will benefit 501(c)3 charity Water.org - one of the world's most effective water organizations - founded by the famed actor and philanthropist Matt Damon, and the world renowned water authority Gary White.

The highlight of the evening will be a performance by internationally acclaimed composer and concert pianist Quentin Fielding and other surprise guests at the Saint Peter's Church, fondly known as The Jazz Church, on 54th Street and Lexington Avenue in the heart of New York City and just a few blocks from the United Nations. 

There are three event sponsorship levels being offered: Water Hero (donate $10,000 or more), Water Champion (min $5,000 donation), Water Enthusiast (Official Sponsor and min. $2,500 donation), and Water Friend (min. $1,000 donation). Some current sponsors are WaterCheck.biz, SmartSocialBrand.com, and Eastern Energy Systems.

The doors to the event will open at 6:30pm. A Coctail Reception and Silent Auction will take place from 7:00 to 8:15. This will be followed by performances and multi-media presentations from 8:30 to 10:30, and the concert will end with Sweets Reception and Sales from 10:30 to 11:00.

Parker Water and Sanitation District Gets Wireless Data Communications Monitoring System

FreeWave Technologies, manufacturer of the most reliable high-performance spread spectrum and licensed radios for critical data transmission, recently announced that along with its technology solution partner, Process Control Dynamics, Inc., had installed wireless data radios for Parker Water and Sanitation District's communication network. The radios will help Parker Water keep live water monitoring of transmission data. This is to ensure high-quality and safe water for 17,000 single families across 43 acres in the Parker, Colorado community.

Parker Water is currently using several of FreeWave's radio models including the FGR serial radios that provide a wireless data communication. They are also using the HTPlus radio, which is ideal for idustrial grade, high-speed Ethernet communications, and the FGR2-IO that provides outstanding performance and versatility in wireless transmission of process-control signals.

According to Systems Administration Manager at Parker Water and Sanitation District, Kirk Magnusson, the radios were “easily integrated” into the existing system. They now have a “cohesive system that sends critical data in real-time.” There is also the added bonus of being able to run the radios from their desktops instead of driving out locally to fix it.
