Recent release “Stones From Heaven” from Page Publishing author Joe Santor is both intriguing and thrilling; his story keeps the reader guessing through the twists and turns of a truly fantastic science-fiction plot.

(PRWEB) November 11, 2015

Joe Santor, a retired Air Force Senior Non-Commissioned Officer, classic car and movie fan, devoted writer and author, has completed his new book “Stones From Heaven”: a gripping and potent journey of mystery, survival and fate packed with unexpected moments and incredible scenes.

Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Joe Santor’s amazing tale of courage and sacrifice will keep readers on the edge of their seat!

Space is stunning to behold, staggering to comprehend, and hostile to be in. Just how hostile, a team of military communication specialists discover when they journey to the edge of the solar system to retrieve a high priority message locked inside a faulty transmitter. The transmitter is part of a series of communication platforms called the Incessant Line – one of six mammoth communication pods spread across millions of miles of space.

Thus begins an extraordinary journey for the crew of the USS Aurora. The mission is perfect in its simplicity: find the broken pod, free the message and transmit back to Earth. But finding which pod holds the message and retrieving it proves trickier than coaxing a viper from a jar. And retransmitting the message proves harder still – if not impossible. Once deciphered though, the message reveals a cosmic nightmare unrecorded in the annals of space. The team has just six hours to fix the down transmitter before they and everything around them are obliterated. Unable to repair the transmitter, the team must find another way to get the message out. One by one they deploy their cutting edge communication systems. One by one they fail. A race against time becomes a struggle for survival as the celestial nightmare approaches. And no one's coming to save them. They had dutifully placed their trust in the marvels of modern technology. Now their only hope rests with the blind faith of a young man with an old idea.

Readers who wish to experience this mesmerizing work can purchase “Stones From Heaven” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes and Noble.

Explore Fairbanks announces that the 2016 World Ice Art Championships will feature over 90 teams from around the globe who flock to Fairbanks, Alaska, to turn four million pounds of ice into over 130 ice sculptures.

Fairbanks, Alaska (PRWEB) November 13, 2015

Fairbanks is the home of the largest ice sculpting competition in the world. Held annually since 1988, the World Ice Art Championships has grown to a month-long event featuring more than 90 teams from around the world. Approximately 45,000 visitors come to the ice art park to watch sculptors work around the clock to turn solid blocks of ice into art. The theme for the 27th Annual World Ice Art Championships is “Drive on.”

Sculptors at the World Ice Art Championships use over four million pounds of "Arctic Diamond" ice which is harvested from a large pond nearby. Arctic Diamond ice freezes quickly and thickly in Alaska’s Interior and is clear enough to read a newspaper through a four-foot ice block.The blocks measure 3’ x 8’ x 5’ and weigh four to five tons. The finished sculptures in the MultiBlock Classic contest can weigh as much as 20 tons and be up to 25 feet tall. Competitions will include the Single Block Classic, the Multi-Block Classic, the Amateur Open for novices to try out their skills and the Youth Classic for high school students.

Near the pond there is a large designated Kid’s Park which is like any children's playground, only it is constructed entirely from ice. There are slides and rides for all ages, mazes and life-sized sculptures of animals, and characters to touch and climb on. There is also an “ice stage” for various performances.

Held at the George Horner Ice Park at 3050 Phillips Field Road in Fairbanks, Alaska, the park will be open daily 10 a.m.-10 p.m., February 29 through March 27, 2016.

“Fast revenue growth is a byproduct of solving real world customer problems with highly innovative solutions in a rapidly growing marketplace,” said Tom Willie, CEO of Blue Pillar. “Commercial facilities all over the world are looking for ways to become more efficient, resilient, and self-sufficient but have struggled with their own ability to affordably and securely get connectivity and control over their highly distributed and vendor proliferated energy infrastructure. Blue Pillar’s Energy Network of Things platform provides for ubiquitous, vendor agnostic, secure connectivity and control of energy assets that before could only have been accomplished through highly expensive, time consuming, and custom system integrations. By connecting such a wide variety of energy assets from legacy diesel generators and meters to cutting-edge microgrids and energy storage technologies, we have completely disrupted how facilities can more easily and cost-effectively reach their aggressive energy goals.”

“Amid a fierce business climate, there seems to be no shortage of new and established companies that are unlocking a seemingly unlimited potential for growth and advancement through technology’s continued disruption and proliferation across industries,” said Sandra Shirai, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP and U.S. technology, media and telecommunications leader. “It is inspiring to witness the innovative ways that companies are incorporating emerging technologies for business gains, be it cognitive computing, or the Internet of Things. We congratulate all those ranked on this year’s Fast 500 and look forward to seeing their continued growth into 2016.”

“Through the efforts and utilization of new and emerging technologies from these companies, we are witnessing greater business demands from across almost all industries,” added Jim Atwell, national managing partner of the emerging company practice, Deloitte & Touche LLP. “We look forward to the opportunity to serve these companies as they strive to grow to the next level – be it towards introducing new solutions or entering new markets – and with it make important and long lasting impressions on the technology market as a whole.”
