Atlanta (Vocus/PRWEB ) January 19, 2010 — A new alternative for verified, digital signatures that introduces flexibility in the process was announced today as the result of a partnership formed between IDology, Inc. and ARX, Inc. The partnership pairs two industry leading solutions, ARX’s CoSign and IDology’s ExpectID® IQ, to give businesses the proper controls over the ID proofing process behind verified, digital signatures.

The combination of these products creates an undisputable strength for the authentication of an online transaction or document. By verifying the identity of a signer before attaching a forgery-immune digital signature, companies can rest assured that important contracts, disclosures and other documents are being signed by the real person represented in the signature. IDology’s CEO, John Dancu, says the partnership with ARX creates new opportunities for companies to fight fraud:

“Companies that conduct business online can look at verified, digital signatures with more certainty because the necessary documents have been approved and signed by the real person represented in that signature. It also makes it easier for businesses to keep pace with the speed of ecommerce while minimizing fraud.”

Pairing the solutions creates a seamless, automated process from verification to signature. First, basic identity information is provided by the signer. Then, IDology’s ExpectID IQ solution generates a dynamic, knowledge-based quiz to confirm that the signer truly is the person he/she is claiming to be. And because the answers to these questions are based on out-of-wallet information, they are difficult for anyone other than the actual person to answer. Simultaneously, CoSign is monitoring this process. If an ID is verified, the person is automatically granted a set of standard digital signature credentials that they can then use to digitally sign documents, transactions and records.
The entire process takes just minutes to perform, and adds stronger authenticity to any signed document in any B2C or G2C business process. IDology’s identity verification supports ARX’s three-Is concept for maintaining proof of the signer’s identity, intent and document integrity.

Verified or proofed identities combined with standard digital signatures are an extremely valuable set of tools for managing B2C businesses that must have trusted exchanges with customers online. Vice President of Business Development for ARX, John Marchioni explains:

“There are many instances where businesses and government agencies may need to reach out to customers or citizens over the Internet. IDology provides a reliable and trusted source for ID proofing so that businesses know the people they are working with are who they say they are. The advantage of using IDology with CoSign is the ease of use for businesses and the flexibility it allows them.”

CoSign has been providing standard digital signatures in a variety of industries to streamline and scale processes and transactions for many years. ARX solutions have helped numerous businesses transition to paperless workflow, as records signed with a digital signature are legally enforceable. And ExpectID IQ is used to validate the identities of customers in numerous customer-not-present situations every day. Because IDology’s solutions are offered through an on-demand, self-service model, businesses control the identity proofing process with the ability to respond to changes in an instant.

Businesses can start using these productive tools by contacting either party. Additionally, a free trial of the CoSign digital signature solution is also available.

A newly launched company is offering aspiring models of every shape and size a chance to be discovered on the Internet – simply by posting a picture with links to their Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin profiles. One model search contest winner will receive front page exposure on TShirtAds.com and become the “official face of TShirtAds.”

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 19, 2010 — Will Smith was discovered in a Los Angeles parking lot. Natalie Portman was discovered walking into a pizza parlor. Alex Wek was discovered on a busy London street. A newly launched company is offering aspiring models of every shape and size a chance to be discovered on the Internet – simply by posting a picture with links to their Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin profiles. Today TShirtAds (www.tshirtads.com) issued an open casting call for the most socially connected aspiring model in America.

One model search contest winner will receive front page exposure on TShirtAds.com and become the “official face of TShirtAds.” Putting a new twist on an old story, TShirtAds plans to pluck the next big supermodel off the social media highway, instead of Melrose or Madison Avenue. The contest supports the company’s mission to become a go-to source for event staffing and word-of-mouth marketing campaigns.

The TShirtAds robust, interactive media platform launched late last year and already includes thousands of new models and everyday talented people in both large and small U.S. markets. Advertisers can scour through the TShirtAds database of featured models – by geography, demographics, look, experience, and/or Model Feedback Ratings – selecting models that best fit their staffing needs. TShirtsAds models can be hired to support word-of-mouth marketing campaigns or staff trade booths for companies of any size, from Fortune 500 companies like Kraft Foods and Coca-Cola to small businesses led by entrepreneurs that do not currently have agency representation.

Professional and aspiring models are invited to participate in the contest. Contest submission is easy and free:

1.     Register as a model at TShirtAds.com and enter the contest on Facebook.
2.     Upload at least one photo of yourself wearing a white T-Shirt or tank top with a slogan written on the front of the T-Shirt to demonstrate your ability to promote a message. Choose a slogan that best represents you. Suggestions include “TShirtAds,” “I’m Available,” “Your Ad Here,” “Rent This Space.” Models are encouraged to be creative!
3.     Post your Facebook, Linkedin, and Twitter links to your TShirtsAds profile to prove your social media connectedness.
4.     Encourage your friends to endorse you and “vote” for your entry on the TShirtAds Facebook Fan Page.

“Before TShirtAds, finding models for a promotional trade show or creative street marketing campaign was expensive and labor-intensive,” said Taz Turner, Founder and President of TShirtAds. “TShirtAds allows advertisers and their agencies to effectively and efficiently discover and hire models online.”

Companies that are interested in discovering and hiring fresh faces to wear, advertise, and promote products and services at promotional events or as part of word-of-mouth marketing campaigns can contact TShirtAds at info@tshirtads.com. Event marketing agencies, public relations firms, modeling agencies, and trade show staffing companies can also contract directly with TShirtAds to enhance their staffing ability for campaigns.

Prospective models can enter the contest online at www.tshirtads.com. Winners will be selected based on public votes. The top five vote winners will each receive $100. Winners will be announced on February 15.

Jacksonville, FL (PRWEB) January 19, 2010 — 20/20 vision has been the hallmark of perfect vision. That Bar is about to be raised.

Dr. Gulani has raised Lasik Laser Vision and Cataract surgery to an ART and using his newly introduced specialty- Corneoplastique(TM), he designs Vision corrective surgery uniquely to each individual eye. Using Laser or Lens based surgeries or even combinations therein, he has achieved visions of 20/15 and 20/10 in numerous patients.

Many eye surgeons worldwide are echoing such outcomes.

20/15 vision is one line better than 20/20 while 20/10 is two lines better on an eye chart.

Technological breakthroughs and better understanding of the optical system of the eye allows us to measure imperfections in vision that were invisible to us until recently. ” What you cannot measure, you cannot correct”- Dr. Gulani

Wavefront technology, advanced laser precision and accurate eye trackers along with a full range of lens implants allow for individualized optical correction for eyes to reach their complete vision potential which in many cases is better than 20/20.

Lasik, Custom Lasik, iLasik, Bladeless Lasik, Lasek, SBK, ASA and PRK are all forms of Laser Vision Surgeries. These surgeries effectively reshape the cornea so nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism can be corrected.

Lens based surgeries including Multifocal, progressive lens implants like crystalens, restor, toric, rezoom and technis have raised the bar on cataract surgery by allowing people to see clearly as well as address their presbyopia and thereby see in the distance and read up close without any glasses.

For patients who are not Lasik candidates, Visian ICL and Intacs can address their extreme errors while synergize contact lenses and collagen cross linking can be used to address keratoconus.

Even previous refractive surgery like Radial Keratotomy (RK) can be addressed with modern Lasik surgery to bring these patients back to excellent vision.

With such an armamentarium of vision corrective eye surgeries, pratically every patient who wears glasses and contact lenses is a candidate because a non-candidate eye can be prepared for vision surgery and also combinations can be used to address specific refractive errors.

Thus a Cataract patient can undergo Progressive Lens based Cataract surgery followed by Lasik surgery in combination or a previous Lasik patient prepare for future Cataract surgery as they age.

On January 21, 2010, for patients and eye doctors all over the world, Channel 4 TV is inaugurating the “Ask Dr. Gulani Show” Online, as a LIVE Webcast at 12:30 pm EST ( you can log onto Gulani Vision’s website for more information ).

I envision a future when a patient can walk into an eye doctor’s office and say “Doctor, I see 20/20!” The doctor will stand up with a solemn look on his / her face and say, “I can help you” – Dr. Gulani.
