Event raises funds to support DREAM Project helping break the cycle of poverty and change destinies in the Dominican Republic by educating one child at a time

LACONIA, N.H. (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
The Enablement Group (TEG), a learning, knowledge management, event and performance support consultancy, is proud to announce its partnership with DREAM Project, a philanthropic organization dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty and changing destinies in the Dominican Republic by educating one child at a time.
On February 25th, 2021, TEG and DREAM Project launched the successful virtual benefit gala, titled "Sueños 2021: We are Resilient. We are One." With a star-studded presenter list and engaged community dedicated to furthering DREAM's mission to improve the lives of children in the Dominican Republic, expectations were high for a successful Sueños 2021 event. Highlights of the event included presentations from hosts Taye Diggs and illustrator and author Shane Evans, Misty Copeland, Musician Pavel Núñez, Clarissa Molina, amongst others plus awarding actress and singer-songwriter Leslie Grace who was presented the DREAMer of Year award by friend and star of Hamilton, Anthony Ramos. Sponsors for Sueños 2021 included JetBlue, Fast Enterprises, Brugal 1888, ROC Nation/RC22 and Beachwold Residential. A replay of the event can be accessed here.
"The moment we spoke to the directors at DREAM, we knew the opportunity to leverage new technology and deliver an unparalleled online event experience would ease the transition from in-personal galas to 2021's online event," commented Marc McNamara, CEO of TEG. "DREAM brought TEG the vision and we worked together to bring it to life, ultimately raising money to support important learning programs in the Dominican Republic for 2021 and beyond."
"COVID challenged us to think outside the box on how we could transition eight successful years of in-person galas to an online event," added Jonathan Wunderlich, Director of Development of the DREAM Project. "We wanted to capture the same emotion and excitement of being in a star-studded room raising funds for this important cause, and TEG worked with us to capture the emotion and excitement making Sueños 2021 a resounding success."
TEG provided production, design and virtual event services and technology to produce and deliver DREAM's live fundraising event. As a result of the combined efforts, DREAM was able to deliver an event that mimicked the live on-site experience of the gala, ensuring audience engagement and allowing DREAM to exceed their annual 2021 fundraising goals. DREAM will continue to accept donations at this link through 2021 to help support additional programs.
Gina Morales-Taveras, Marketing Manager for the DREAM Project, worked with TEG for several weeks to launch the event and added her perspective at closing: "You and your team did an amazing job putting together our vision. Without you, none of this would have been possible. The environment felt very warm and friendly and you captured the Sueños vibe perfectly. We've gotten a lot of amazing feedback from everyone (executive board to students). People have mentioned that they felt like they were really at the event."
DREAM's virtual benefit took place 100% online and was live streamed over TEG's interactive event management platform. Good company, cocktails, and amazing music all came together once again for this magical night of giving back and celebrating the very best of the Dominican Republic. The event kicked off with exclusive Brugal 1888 Meet and Greets, hosted by DREAM Executive Board Members. These 30-minute toasts were limited to VIP guests and saw engagement and interaction from participants across the globe. The toasts were followed by the main event, Sueños 2021. This year, the celebration was hosted by actor Taye Diggs from All American and illustrator and author Shane Evans. Sueños spotlighted DREAM's groundbreaking programs, award winners and concluded with a performance by the world's only, and DREAM's very own, Bachata Academy. The event raised money for DREAM, with all proceeds going towards #DREAMenCASA, DREAM's response to COVID-19, the online and at home network of programs impacting more than 8,000 Dominican youth in 27 different communities. Funds will directly support programs in response to the Dominican Ministry of Education's announcement that distanced learning will be mandatory for 2020/2021, including DREAM's Early Childhood Education, At Risk Youth and Workforce Development Programs.

Increase Fueled by Current Client Growth & Nine New Insurance Clients

BOSTON (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
MassPrinting, the leader in document output solutions, today announced that it increased year-over-year revenue from insurance services by 46%.
"The 2020 fiscal year brought unparalleled challenges from the impact of COVID19. The majority of our client base benefited greatly from having outsourced print and mail services," said Andy Pallotta, President of MassPrinting. "Our strategic partner network was completely operational during the entire pandemic last year. In addition, MassPrinting was able to help several carriers send COVID19 communications quickly and effectively to their policyholders. Most importantly, our clients were relieved that our outsourced print and mail model didn't add to the challenges they were already facing in quickly moving other back office operations remotely."
2020 Highlights
Client Growth - MassPrinting's 2020 revenue growth was driven by the benefit of a full year of revenue from its insurance client additions in 2019, growth from the current client base, and the addition of nine new insurance clients. The company's early projections for 2021 also look strong, with anticipated growth from new products that will be introduced this year.
Workforce Expansion - To keep up with the growth of its client base, MassPrinting significantly expanded its workforce in 2020, adding headcount to support clients and its increased technology development.
Technology Investment - MassPrinting continued investing in its technology infrastructure in 2020, completing a client beta program and testing. A key component of this infrastructure will go live in March 2021. The company plans to introduce additional products to the market in 2021.
"We are committed to establishing MassPrinting as an insurtech company," stated Pallotta. "We believe that MassPrinting is uniquely positioned to offer services to our insurance carriers that transcend print and mail and modernize and simplify policyholder communications."

77% of Consumers plan to spend the same amount or more on online shopping.

VIENNA, VA. (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
The growth in e-commerce accelerated by COVID-19 will continue post-pandemic, according to the results of a new survey released today by LaserShip, the largest regional e-commerce parcel carrier in the US and leader in last-mile delivery.
The research provides retailers with actionable recommendations on how to balance the growth in e-commerce and online shopping against rising logistics and delivery costs.
LaserShip commissioned the study from Hanover Research to survey over 1,000 consumers in the US to understand their shopping behaviors and expectations during the 2020 holiday shopping season. The research can be found at: https://lasership.com/2020_holiday_sustainable_competitive.pdf
Key insights from the study include:

Online spend levels are here to stay post-pandemic: 77% of consumers surveyed will spend the same amount or more on online shopping after getting one of the COVID-19 vaccines and restrictions are lifted to be able to return to brick-and-mortar stores, substantiating the acceleration of e-commerce as a percentage of total retail sales.

Consumers still prefer home delivery: While BOPIS (buy online pickup in store) and other forms of click and collect have emerged during the pandemic, 80% of consumers still prefer home delivery of their goods purchased online.

Faster delivery is a differentiator for retailers and a way to build loyalty: 56% of consumers surveyed paid for some form of expedited shipping during the holiday shopping season. In an increasingly brand agnostic economy, faster delivery options can increase customer life value, especially with Millennials and Gen Z consumers whom have grown up in the instant economy and whose buying power will increase.

Retailers need to build flexibility within their supply chains: With online spend levels here to stay after the pandemic and consumers demanding free and fast shipping, retailers need to diversify their carrier mix and mitigate delivery risk.

"The survey results provide retailers with actionable recommendations on how to balance the continued growth in e-commerce against rising logistics costs and supply chain challenges" said Josh Dinneen, Chief Commercial Officer at LaserShip. "As retail sales shift online, retailers need to learn from 2020 and build flexibility within their supply chains to overcome capacity constraints, rate increases and surcharges to continue to meet consumer expectations and create long-term competitive advantage."
LaserShip helps leading retailers and businesses differentiate themselves by delivering their goods faster with better on-time performance while saving money. With over three decades of delivery experience, LaserShip is continuously innovating to better serve its customers through investments in technology, automation, and machine learning to increase capacity and improve the delivery experience.

Smith Publicity's Insight About the New Role and Value of Agents Today

CHERRY HILL, N.J. (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
Smith Publicity, the world's leading book marketing firm, is a resource for answers to commonly asked questions about the publishing industry and today addresses the role of literary agents. As authors consider agents, they often want to know how to find a literary agent, the role agents play in the contractual process, and how each author can find the most effective agent for their project. "We notice authors in every genre seeking information about agents, and the benefits of working with a literary agent," observed Dan Smith, Founder, Smith Publicity. "In response to the many inquiries, our team members provide insight to our clients and authors in general."
What Literary Agents Do and are Known for Generally
Literary agents represent writers and their work to people both inside and outside the book industry. It naturally includes publishers but often extends to film and television producers, studios, etc. Agents nearly always help an author negotiate contracts and act as a liaison to others on the author's behalf. For example, agents can handle challenging conversations between authors and publishers; the best ones know how to act as a buffer in difficult situations and keep good relationships intact.
Many authors also look to their publicity agents to track royalties and sales once a book is published and handle various business management tasks. An effective agent frees up an author to devote more time to writing and book publicity – the media interviews people, not books. Therefore, authors need to be available for publicity. It's also crucial for authors to remember that agents are advocates, negotiators, managers, and advisors, but their presence does not guarantee a bestseller. Successful books rely on excellent content and a strong book marketing program to support their launch and initial sales period.
How Literary Agents and Authors Find Each Other
Referrals are a significant part of the agent selection process. Often, they come as word-of-mouth recommendations from within an author's professional network. For instance, one author has a successful experience with a literary agent and recommends the agent to another author. Blind queries do occur but often are not recommended; authors with connections to an agent get farther – especially for those needing pitches to major publishing houses.
Also, some agents proactively seek projects, depending on the editors they work with and what is selling at the moment. If editors want a particular kind of book, agents will seek an author that fits. Today many authors also ask about the role of social media in the process, and the answer is that it can be a part of the process, most commonly on Linked In.
What Literary Agents Look for and Who They Decide to Work With
Just as no two authors are alike, each literary agent (or agency) is unique. Some specialize in fiction and work exclusively with novelists. Others focus on nonfiction and may concentrate on specific genres where they have developed specialized expertise. Most agents provide submission guidelines for authors who want to be proactive with outreach. Many agents closely examine both books and an author's credentials when evaluating a submission. It makes it vital for authors to have a well-developed platform (i.e., what comes up in a Google search of the author's name?) It includes a well-designed website, social media, professional photos, etc. Agents also like to see writers actively engaging with followers on social media.
Authors are also strongly advised to send edited books with query letters to literary agents -- no first drafts. It's also wise to research agents before reaching out. Personalizing the outreach and making sure a book is one they would work with goes a long way.
Carefully Selecting the Right Agent is Crucial
Well-respected agents add a lot to professionalizing an author's presentation, pitch, and platform. It's an important decision and not one an author (or agent) should make impulsively. An agent and their team will handle the sensitive and vital areas of negotiating and mediating conflict -- and give an author access to their many connections. They expand a writer's team and provide a support network that helps throughout the process. As with any business relationship, much depends on personal chemistry, and it's best for both author and agent to become well acquainted before entering an agreement.
Many literary agents recommend Smith Publicity to authors in need of book marketing and publicity services. In turn, Smith suggests agents to authors who want and need professional representation. It puts the Smith team in the position of knowing many agents and understanding their specialties and interests. It helps the company act as an information resource in this area and most other areas of the traditional and self-publishing industries.

Alliant opens up vehicle leasing to members in Pennsylvania

SAN DIEGO (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
Credit Union Leasing of America (CULA), the leader in indirect vehicle leasing for credit unions for over 30 years, is helping power the expansion of Alliant Credit Union's vehicle leasing program into Pennsylvania, completing their first leases in the state in February 2021. CULA has been successfully working with Alliant Credit Union since 2017, administering their existing vehicle leasing programs in Colorado, Michigan, and Florida.
Based in Chicago, Alliant Credit Union is one of the largest credit unions in the nation with more than $13 billion in assets. Alliant's history spans over 80 years and it has over 500,000 members nationwide.
CULA enables credit unions to offer the flexibility and affordable payments of new vehicle leasing, while helping them grow membership, diversify lending options, and increase yield.
"As consumers emerge from the economic and personal challenges of the pandemic, they are seeking affordable, flexible options in vehicle financing, which is exactly what leasing provides," says Jeremy Pinard, Vice President of Consumer Lending at Alliant Credit Union. "And, with vehicle leasing representing over one third(1) of all new auto financing in Pennsylvania, it just makes sense for us to offer it to our members there, and to continue expanding that opportunity to more states nationwide."
The strength of the auto industry has been one of the bright spots of the recent economy. According to an Edmunds forecast(2), in the third quarter of 2020 consumers purchased 30.6% more vehicles than in the second quarter in the immediate wake of the COVID-19 pandemic's emergence, with 15.5 million new cars predicted be sold in 2021, a 6.5% lift over 2020(3). As consumers head back to the car market, they are often choosing leasing, with more than a quarter of new vehicles sold nationally being leased.
"We are excited to further deepen our partnership with Alliant Credit Union as they expand their auto finance offerings into new states," said Mark Chandler, Vice President of Business Development for CULA. "Their member-first philosophy, along with their commitment to digital services, means they are well-positioned to meet consumer interest in leasing in today's new pandemic normal. Like Alliant, CULA has a customer-first philosophy, and we are laser-focused on helping our credit union partners achieve their growth goals."
CULA experienced first-hand the recent swell of consumer interest in leasing: after the challenges of Spring's COVID lockdown, Q4 represented CULA's best quarter ever for lease originations booked through its credit union partners. "October 2020 was a record-breaking month for CULA, with more than $150M in lease originations in a single month," said Ken Sopp, President of CULA. "We finished the quarter strong, and we are well-positioned for a successful 2021."
"CULA has been doing leasing for a long, long time, and they have the historical data to answer any questions a credit union might have. As a partner, they really help you understand the complexities of a lease. Specifically, important elements like residual risk, wear and tear, and how that ties into the risks related to leasing," continued Pinard. "With CULA, you can work to create a leasing program that fits your credit union's desires, goals and expectations."
CULA pioneered indirect vehicle leasing for credit unions with its analytically driven, high-value leasing program supported by stellar customer service and proven systems. CULA handles the intricacies of leasing for its clients, including analytics, insurance, operations, compliance and more, all with a focus on helping credit unions meet their financial and membership goals.
About Credit Union Leasing of America
Credit Union Leasing of America (CULA) has been the leader in indirect vehicle leasing for credit unions for over 30 years. Founded in 1988, CULA provides best-in-class program assistance, analytics reporting, compliance support, dealer management tools and member services.

Detechtion's complete oilfield chemical management solution covers both batch and continuous treatments delivering greater transparency, cost savings, and flow assurance

HOUSTON (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
Detechtion Technologies, the proven Asset Performance Management (APM), Industrial IoT (IIoT), and Mobile Oilfield Management solution provider in the Upstream Oil & Gas industry, today announced the availability of several different starter packages aimed at operators looking to digitize and automate their chemical programs for greater transparency, cost savings, and flow assurance.
Operators commonly use production chemicals from one or more different chemical providers to mitigate numerous environmental conditions that, left untreated, can lead to equipment damage, associated lost production, and often the costliest of them all, a full well workover. But very few operators have a complete chemical management solution to optimize performance or contain costs. Operators typically lack full transparency to their batch and continuous treatment programs, lack visibility and confirmation that chemical is being properly dosed, and make unnecessary trips to site to confirm inventories – or worse, have tanks run empty or pumps fail for days or even weeks, putting the production flow and oilfield equipment at risk.
Detechtion provides a total solution covering all aspects of your chemical program. In fact, Detechtion is the only technology solution provider to deliver a complete solution covering both batch and continuous treatments specifically targeted at the oilfield production chemical segment. Enbase IIoT offers different solutions to help you monitor and control your continuous chemical injections. Fieldlink, Detechtion's Mobile Oilfield Management platform, provides user-friendly, digital forms for the chemical field workers to quickly and accurately document the work they performed, whether it's a tank fill for a continuous chemical injection or capturing a truck treatment for a well that is part of a batch program.
For the first time, Detechtion is today announcing three Chemical Management Solutions that deliver value out-of-the-box and include on-site installation to give operators a simple and inexpensive way to start better managing your chemical program. The solution is called Chemical Management In-a-Box:

Chemical Tank Monitoring In-a-Box– This starter package provides everything you need to monitor up to four (4) different continuous injection chemical tanks. You'll have access to a cloud-based dashboard as well as receive alarms for things like low tank level, under- or over-dosing, no or low flow (potential pump issue), etc.

Continuous Treatment Chemical Management – This starter package provides you everything you need to digitize field worker activities for continuously treated wells in a mobile chemical management application. Two (2) field workers will be able to track inventories, chemical deliveries, pump status and adjustments, etc., all available for a manager to view in a cloud-based dashboard.

Batch Treatment Chemical Management – This starter package provides you everything you need to digitize field worker activities for batch treated wells in a mobile chemical management application. Two (2) field workers will be able to track truck treatments recorded with full GPS and datetime stamping for auditability, all available for a manager to view in a cloud-based dashboard.

"We are excited to offer these different starter packages as part of our Chemical Management-in-a-Box program to give operators an easy way to quickly see the value that these technologies deliver," said Kirk Hanes, SVP of Global Sales at Detechtion. "Digitizing your chemical management program gives you full transparency of your chemical program with consistent, accurate data collection across multiple chemical providers providing greater invoicing integrity. It also delivers greater flow assurance and asset integrity by ensuring proper dosing, preventing lost production and costly well workovers and equipment repairs. And by properly dosing, you also avoid the expense of unnecessary chemical overruns. We've had customers report up to 15% improvement in their overall chemical program performance, which is typically one of the top three lease operating expenses."

With features such as mobile point of sale and contactless payments, SSL retailers can also better serve their customers now, the way they want to be served.
Powerful, integrated eCommerce for SSL members
SSL members can leverage Celerant's integrated eCommerce to manage their brick-and-mortar sales, rentals, and website as one. With such a heavy shift currently to online sales, SSL retailers can launch their website quickly by having Celerant pull and display online product data feeds from distributors, such as NILS and Liberty Mountain. SSL retailers can fulfill online orders through drop shipping; home delivery; Buy Online, Pickup In Store (BOPIS), as well with Celerant's new Curbside Pickup Application.
"Since several SSL members are already Celerant clients, partnering with Sports Specialists Ltd. seemed natural," stated Ian Goldman, President & CEO, Celerant Technology. "At the request of our long-term, valuable ski/snowboard retail clients, we continue to add new features and niche integrations to our software. We are eager to have the opportunity to bring our technology and new enhancements to the entire SSL group through their virtual show; and at their physical shows, which we are all looking forward to attending again soon."

Jewbelong holds FREE virtual Passover seder on March 27th at 7pm EST with comedy and family fun for the holiday!.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
Saturday, March 27th, 2021 at 7pm ET
To join us, sign up at JewBelong.com
On the first night of Passover, Saturday, March 27th, 2021, JewBelong will present BURNING MAN-ISCHEWITZ, their second virtual Passover Seder, with Matt Broussard (Comedy Central) as host.
In a time where the terms 'diversity' and 'inclusion' are on the tip of everyone's tongue, JewBelong is proud of the fact that their name has included the word belong since their inception. Jews come in many forms and with varying knowledge of their culture. Sometimes Judaism can seem off-putting because of the many rules and complex traditions. JewBelong helps by explaining the intention behind the rituals and invites everyone in, whether they break the rules or abide by them. JewBelong is able to balance tradition with inclusion by highlighting love and humanity.
Archie Gottesman, JewBelong's co-founder, says, "We need community, albeit virtually, now more than ever. We're excited to provide a space for Jews and FOJs (Friends of Jews) to participate in a free, relevant, creative but also traditional Passover Seder. At JewBelong we don't judge if someone eats an English muffin the morning after the Seder (Jews are supposed to refrain from eating bread for the eight days of the Passover holiday).
"The world has too much other-ing and marginalizing right now. We want everyone to feel the belonging in a holiday that is about freedom! 'BURNING MAN-ISCHEWITZ,' explains the Passover Seder so that those who aren't Jewish, or who are but didn't get much Jewish education, or may just be someone in need of a refresher, won't feel left out or JewBarrassed (that feeling people sometimes get when they think they should know something Jewish, but they don't)." Here is a quick trailer of How Long Should Seder Be? and of course a cameo from Drunk Elijah.
JewBelong.com also has a free, downloadable Haggadah complete with all of the Seder steps, original songs, a fantastic skit that tells the story of Passover, Burning Bush: A Passover Drinking Game, and more.
About JewBelong: JewBelong.com is a non-profit online resource that offers easy explanations and meaningful DIY rituals for Jews, for people who aren't Jewish but are part of a Jewish community, and especially for anyone who has felt like a Jewish outsider or feels disengaged from the religion. JewBelong's co-founders, Archie Gottesman and Stacy Stuart, are the marketing duo that was the voice behind Manhattan Mini Storage's iconic branding ("NYC: Tolerant of Your Beliefs. Judgmental About Your Shoes." "If You Don't Like Gay Marriage, Don't Get Gay Married").
JewBelong's virtual Seder will premiere at 7:00 pm ET on Saturday, March 27th, 2021 and be available for the rest of Passover.
The JewBelong Seder is open to the public.

Top Branding and Marketing Firm Names New Director of Digital Strategy, Mandy Fischer.

GAINESVILLE, GA. (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
Gravity Junction LLC recently promoted their lead developer, Mandy Fischer, of Muskegon, Michigan., to the comprehensive role of Director of Digital Strategy.
"Mandy is an immensely talented designer and developer. Her wide skill-set and knowledge have been key to our rapid growth throughout the last 15 months," shared Sharla Crawford, CEO.
"What became apparent only a few months into working with Mandy was her tenacity to continue to raise the bar in everything she does," Crawford continued.
Numerous clients flocked to Gravity Junction in 2020 with the need to pivot their business online due to Covid. In the absence of foot traffic, SEO strategies and brand awareness have become increasingly desired. Crawford and her partners became inundated with work, and the company scaled rapidly from three team members to 12 in only six months.
"We are grateful for this growth. For us, it created a "the cobbler's children have no shoes" situation. We didn't have the time to work on our own website and marketing efforts. Our attention was primarily focused on our clients," Crawford offered.
Stretched-thin, Crawford and her partners knew work needed to be done to further the brand but admit it was Fischer's insistence that helped them take the leap.
"While I enjoy development and design, I understand that even the nicest, most optimized website is going to get lost in the search engine without consistent, ongoing effort," Fischer explained. "I pushed for dedicated content creation for the Gravity Junction website, and it has paid off."
At Fischer's request, Crawford and her partners allocated the resources necessary to push the boundaries of their digital strategy. In a few short months, the company's SERPs skyrocketed to page one results across a host of key phrases. Beyond SEO, Fischer sought out advertising solutions, guided social media content creation, and helped craft the topics for staff writers to tackle.
"Once we saw how well Mandy navigated the success of our brand, we knew we had to put her at the helm to drive all digital strategy," said Tess Helmandollar, CMO.
"With Mandy's help, we put integrative processes in place for content creation, social media management, pay-per-click campaigns, and ongoing SEO work that will transform our client's digital footprints. Mandy's technical development skill combined with her drive has improved our business and our results," Helmandollar added.
Gravity Junction, LLC handles website development, comprehensive marketing solutions, and software development. Some of their clients include Addison Leadership Group, Transformation Capital, Atlanta Dental, The 1818 Club, and Asa Carlton.

Octarine Bio ApS ("Octarine" or "the company"), a synthetic biology company developing biosynthetic platforms for cannabinoids, psychedelics and their novel improved derivatives, today announced it has extended its seed round financing, closed in November 2020, with an additional $1.2 million USD due to significant demand from new and existing investors, bringing the total amount raised by the company to over $3 million USD.

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
Octarine Bio ApS ("Octarine" or "the company"), a synthetic biology company developing biosynthetic platforms for cannabinoids, psychedelics and their novel improved derivatives, today announced it has extended its seed round financing, closed in November 2020, with an additional $1.2 million USD due to significant demand from new and existing investors, bringing the total amount raised by the company to over $3 million USD.
"Interest in the therapeutic use of cannabinoids and psychedelics has exploded recently, and we're thrilled to see investors get behind our unique biosynthetic approach to bringing these therapies to market. We're particularly proud to see significant follow-on investment from our existing investors; for us this is a key validation of the team, technology, and business model" said Octarine CEO Dr Nethaji Gallage. "Octarine has laid out an ambitious R&D plan for this year and we've been able to achieve our first set of R&D milestones for Q1. This funding round will allow us to expand our R&D facility and capabilities in Copenhagen and expand the R&D and executive management teams".
The extended round was led by existing institutional investors Oskare Capital and The Danish State Growth fund (Vækstfonden).
Alexandre OUIMET-STORRS, President and Co-Founder of Oskare Capital stated that "We scouted and first invested in Octarine two years ago and they have made phenomenal progress since then in developing a pipeline of natural and improved cannabinoid and psychedelic drug candidates. These molecules will be key building blocks for the next wave of pharmaceutical grade molecules that target poorly treated psychological and neurological conditions".
Lene Gerlach, Investment Manager at Vækstfonden stated that "Octarine is a perfect example of how research and innovation from both Copenhagen University and the Danish Technical University of Denmark can become a strong company with a global competitive edge. The Octarine team has been excellent in executing on their development goals and Vækstfonden is very pleased to continue our close partnership with Octarine".
The company is currently implementing biosynthetic production platforms for a range of natural therapeutic molecules, including psilocybin and DMT, as well as libraries of novel derivatives and expects to have these ready for pre-clinical and clinical development by the end of 2021.
About Octarine
Octarine's mission is to solve our greatest health challenges by enabling innovative cannabinoid and psychedelic therapeutics. Many neurological and psychological conditions are poorly served by current drugs, leaving physicians, patients, and their families desperately seeking alternative therapies, sometimes illegally. Cannabinoids and psychedelics are poised to offer breakthrough therapies for these debilitating conditions, but to realize the full potential of these molecules, issues with their production and undesirable properties must first be solved.
Octarine is perfecting a biological approach to producing improved & novel cannabinoid and psychedelic molecules with tailored modes of action. Our proprietary technology combines synthetic biology, yeast fermentation and enzymatic derivatization to develop IP protected drug candidates that are validated in pre-clinical models.
Octarine was founded in September 2018 by Dr Nethaji Gallage (CEO) and Dr Nick Milne (CSO) based on foundational research conducted at the University of Copenhagen and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). Octarine is also an alumnus of the BioInnovation Institute, an initiative run by the Novo Nordisk Foundation.

With a powerful mission to "connect communities and enhance lives" by providing transit services to residents of the metro Phoenix area, Valley Metro Regional Public Transportation Authority (RPTA) recognizes the importance of being laser-focused on building, operating and maintaining a safe, regional multi-modal transportation system.

STEVENSVILLE, MD. (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
With a powerful mission to "connect communities and enhance lives" by providing transit services to residents of the metro Phoenix area, Valley Metro Regional Public Transportation Authority (RPTA) recognizes the importance of being laser-focused on building, operating and maintaining a safe, regional multi-modal transportation system.
The group's Mesa location, which operates approximately 100 buses, presents a strong case in point. The city of Mesa, which has a population of more than 518,000, is the largest suburban city by population in the U.S and is a mere 19 miles from downtown Phoenix.
With a sizeable and rapidly growing public to serve, and a stated goal to "advance performance-based operation," the Mesa location faced a very real roadblock recently – what to do with several decommissioned heavy duty vehicle lifts
Enter Scott Wisner, Bus Service Delivery Manager at Valley Metro, who noted, "To operate an effective, reliable and high performing transit system like Valley Metro, newer technology in vehicle servicing would be key to our success."
Following a detailed analysis of top entrants in the field, Valley Metro selected four powerful, hydraulic vehicle lifts from industry leader, Stertil-Koni.
Two of the systems were Stertil-Koni's popular SKYLIFT – a superior heavy duty platform lift that uniquely provide a "clear floor" concept. The product's elegant design includes two independent runways, vertical lifting, no crossbeams, no overhang, no base frame, dependable hydraulic technology, a super-safe mechanical locking system and free access to the vehicle from all sides.
"In fact," added Wisner, "one of the SKYLIFTs we selected is a Wash Bay version – which has water-resistant, anti-corrosion, hot-dipped galvanized steel platforms. That is ideal for efficiently cleaning the chassis and undercarriages of our buses."
The other two lifts chosen by Valley Metro were versions of the widely used Stertil-Koni inground, telescopic piston DIAMONDLIFT. With a lifting capacity of up to 35,000 lbs. per piston, it is a high-pressure low-volume lift that features electronic synchronization for maximum safety, hard-chrome plated piston rods for superior durability, a mechanical locking system for added safety and a full-color, touch-screen control console.
"What's more," added Wisner, "our version of this lift has a continuous recess movable lifting system. This significantly reduces setup time while increasing safety." Explained Matthias Lennemann, Sales Manager, Heavy Duty for Stertil-Koni, "The Continuous Recess feature in our DIAMONDLIFT permits the lifting bolster to move horizontally anywhere within the range of travel without having to be elevated; and the aluminum trench cover system is maintenance-free, while providing full drive over capacity. That's powerful and convenient."
Making it all possible was Southwest Lift & Equipment, an exclusive Stertil-Koni distributor covering southern California and Arizona. Headed by its President, CEO and vehicle lift expert, Dean McDonald, the company has established a well-earned reputation for delivering exceptional customer support in all aspects of vehicle lift selection, installation and service.
Concluded Wisner, "Our top priority is to deliver outstanding customer service – every time. The new Stertil-Koni lifts will definitely help increase our vehicle uptime, maximize shop efficient and play an important role in achieving our near- and long-term goals."
About Stertil-Koni
Stertil-Koni – proud to be a Buy America company -- is the market leader in heavy duty vehicle lifts, notably bus lifts and truck lifts, and proudly serves municipalities, state agencies, school bus fleets, major corporations, the U.S. Military and more. Stertil-Koni is distinguished by its extensive distributor network across the U.S. and Canada – delivering world-class engineering combined with dedicated local expertise. The breadth of Stertil-Koni's products meets all ranges of lifting needs and includes Mobile Column Lifts, 2-post, 4-post, inground piston lifts, platform lifts, and its axle-engaging, inground, scissor lift configuration, ECOLIFT. The company's innovative, inground telescopic piston DIAMONDLIFT is available with an optional Continuous Recess system, ideal for low clearance vehicles. Stertil-Koni USA is headquartered in Stevensville, Maryland with production facilities in Europe, The Netherlands, and in Streator, IL.

Family's new private equity fund seeks long-term ownership and stewardship of family-run industrial businesses

DENVER (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
Summit Industry Partners, LLC today announced its first private equity fund geared towards long-term ownership and operation of established family-owned lower-middle market industrial companies in Colorado's Front Range. For retiring business owners, Summit Industry Partners offers an alternative exit strategy to traditional private equity funds.
"We are a 3rd-generation manufacturing family that understands the value that small family industrial businesses provide the local community in terms of employment and long-term value creation within the local economy," says Jason Korbelik, Managing Partner at Summit Industry Partners, LLC. "We can provide the continuity that many retiring business owners covet for their employees."
Launched at the beginning of 2021, Summit Industry Partners, LLC believes there are many business owners looking for better exit strategies. "Going in, we knew we wanted to find well-run family-owned industrials where we could build off of great cultural foundations," said Brian Korbelik, Partner at Summit Industry Partners, LLC. "We did not expect the mutual interest from so many small business owners right off the bat. First, there are obviously a number of owners looking to transition to their next stage in life. Second, we have found a tremendous amount of private equity fatigue within this demographic."
Unlike many private equity founders, the Korbelik family brings little M&A experience but a wealth of operational expertise and will be involved in the day-to-day operations of the acquisitions by Summit Industry Partners. "Having grown up around it, we enjoy the day-to-day operations of small industrial businesses," says Jason Korbelik. "It is an opportunity to come together as a team and help generate highly tangible benefits to the local economy. We also just really love the intellectual challenge that running small businesses represents."
About Summit Industry Partners, LLC: Summit Industry Partners, LLC is a family-run business in Denver, Colorado that is focused on owning and operating established small industrial companies in the Rocky Mountain Region. The company specializes in the long-term ownership and stewardship of established lower-middle market industrial companies. Formed in January, 2021, Summit Industry Partners, LLC seeks to carry on the legacy of companies and continue to grow their generational value for all of their stakeholders.

Virtual Induction Ceremony Honors Leaders and Advocates of Women's Businesses as Growth Engines of Economy

LINDEN, N.J. (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
Jayne Millard, Executive Chairman of the Board of Turtle & Hughes, made women's history of her own this month with her induction last night into the Women's Business Enterprise Hall of Fame (WBEHF) in a virtual ceremony hosted by the American Institute of Diversity & Commerce (AIDC).
As a fourth-generation woman business leader of one of the largest privately-held electrical and industrial distribution companies in the nation, Millard was recognized for driving the company's 21st century growth while deepening its commitment to diversity and inclusion among its employees and suppliers.
"Jayne Millard is a rare leader who has set a nearly 100-year-old company on the path to even greater achievements. While sustaining Turtle & Hughes' history of women in management, she has also kept the company agile and inventive in a changing marketplace," said Tom Trotter, AIDC Chairman and retired IBM executive, presiding over the ceremony.
"I am honored to join the extraordinary women leaders who have devoted their careers to championing women as employees and business partners. It is fitting that in Women's History Month we can re-imagine possibilities for our organizations and each other as sisters in innovation and growth," Millard said.
Now in its 12th year of celebrating women-owned businesses and their positive impact on the economy, the WBE Hall of Fame recognized 14 women who are both accomplished in their industries and outstanding advocates for women's business development. Members of the Women's Business Enterprise Hall of Fame include respected leaders from corporations, women's businesses and nonprofits dedicated to economic growth through diversity.
Millard's dedication to ensuring diversity and economic opportunity among Turtle employees was inspired by her mother who led the company before her, and great-grandmother who presided for 40 years after her husband's death. Today, women make up one-third of Turtle's workforce – exceeding industry averages – and extend to top management with CEO Kathleen Shanahan at the helm.
"Under Jayne's leadership, the company has doubled in employees, ushered in a digital transformation and forged a new partnership to serve thousands of hospitals and health care centers across the country. At the same time, she has overseen a recreated workplace that has enhanced our productivity while ensuring the safety of our employees," Shanahan said.
Inducting Millard into the WBE Hall of Fame were AIDC Vice Chairman Cheryl Stevens and Board member Betty Manetta who remarked on Millard's commitment to nonprofit growth. "Jayne's skilled guidance extends to organizations she has long believed in as a member of the board of The Martha Graham Center of Contemporary Dance and Make-A-Wish International."
Having served in numerous roles over her three decades at Turtle, Millard became CEO in 2010 and Chairman in 2016, sharing the Co-CEO position with Shanahan in 2018, and last year becoming Executive Chairman of the Board, on which she has served since 1986.
For this dynamic impact in a traditionally male-dominated industry, Millard received the 2020 Women in Industry Trailblazer Award from the National Association of Electrical Distributors (NAED). For its collaborative culture, Turtle & Hughes was named the 2020 recipient of a Best Place to Work Award by NJ BIZ. Millard received the 2012 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award in New Jersey, and has served as a National Judge in this prestigious event.
Millard is a graduate of the Harvard University Owner/President Management Program (OPM). She received an M.B.A. from Dominican University of California and is a graduate of the Eugene Lang School of the Arts.
She is also a member of the Women Presidents' Organization and the Committee of 200 renowned for fostering, celebrating and advancing women's leadership in business.
Turtle & Hughes is a Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC)-Certified Women's Business Enterprise (WBE), certified through the Women Presidents' Educational Organization (WPEO)-NY.

Robert George, a member of the 3-million-mile club and an experienced trucker, has completed his new book "Killer Trucks": a gripping opus that teaches people about trucking, safety when working as truckers, and understanding its purpose in the community.

Recent release "The Rise of the Widow-Maker: The Light of Death Will Come" from Page Publishing author Zoez Lajoune is a soul-chilling story of continuing the exploration that was left uncompleted previously.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) MARCH 12, 2021
Zoez Lajoune, a student of writing who resides in Minnesota, has completed his new book "The Rise of the Widow-Maker: The Light of Death Will Come": a gripping and thrilling novel about facing the innermost fears of ones own psyche and exploring the undiscovered chambers of the mind.
Lajoune writes, "It had only been three months since Dominic's funeral. The cousin that he loved and lost. Three weeks prior to that, there was a horrible incident at Park Center High. A guy was found mutilated in the parking lot. His eyes were missing, and car battery acid was seeping out of his ears. The following day, a man under police watch was murdered in the same fashion at Regions Hospital. The authorities investigating still hadn't commented on the murders. Hospital records, along with the autopsy report from the county morgue, indicated the same modus operandi for both murders. Then there were those six nickels found in the eye sockets of each victim. They appeared to be some sort of dark age calling card. It was as if a tocsin was chiming out from a church steeple, warning souls of what was already among us and nobody was listening."
Published by Page Publishing, Zoez Lajoune's mysterious tale gives in more and more to the darkness, one without a safe haven, bargaining chip to use as leverage or a plea to offer that will acquire any type of mercy.
Many people praise the Widow-Maker, even though the walking curse that is within himself seems to be looking for a way to escape. The journey is one that is going to be tumultuous and with the help of friends and colleagues, is destined to become one that will not be soon forgot.
Readers who wish to experience this chilling work can purchase "The Rise of the Widow-Maker: The Light of Death Will Come" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

"The Afrocentric Princess: How to Help Your Daughter Embrace Her Natural Beauty" from Christian Faith Publishing author Kimberly S. Moore is an inspiring narrative for children that encourages them to love and be confident in themselves. This book helps the young girls realize that they can be a princess regardless of their color, hair texture, or looks.

MEADVILLE, PA. (PRWEB) MARCH 12, 2021
"The Afrocentric Princess: How to Help Your Daughter Embrace Her Natural Beauty": an enticing story of a young girl who struggles to embrace herself because of her overall image but later on realizes that she too is a princess. "The Afrocentric Princess: How to Help Your Daughter Embrace Her Natural Beauty" is the creation of published author Kimberly S. Moore, a children advocate who enjoys writing. It is her hope to reach children through her books. She also works with special needs children and she is active in women's ministry.
Moore writes, "Many African-American girls struggle with their looks and their overall self-image. Many things that they see in the world does not reflect who they are, and some of them are in an identity crisis. Webster defines a 'princess' as a female member of a royal family. God created male and female in his image by putting careful thought into individuality. God considers his creation as royalty, and he is the king. Therefore, all girls regardless of color, hair texture, or looks have the right to be a princess. 'The Afrocentric Princess' was written to encourage girls to embrace their looks and see themselves as beautiful, special, worthy, unique, and fearless. The book is also designed for parents to see that their daughters need a lot of encouragement and love to feel special. It is my hope that girls will begin to see that "true" beauty lies within, and that God loves them dearly."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Kimberly S. Moore's new book is a ravishing tale that shows the equal and encompassing love of God. This book is designed to let the readers understand that everyone is made out of God's own image and likeness; therefore, everyone is equally beautiful and can bring out the prince and princess inside of them.
This book is also designed for parents to encourage their children to embrace themselves and to let their daughters feel that they are uniquely and specially made by God.

MEADVILLE, PA. (PRWEB) MARCH 12, 2021
"The Light in an Impenetrable Night": a compelling opus that follows the life of a woman who hid her faith in God in order to survive. "The Light in an Impenetrable Night" is the creation of published author Paige Trevisani, a Christian fiction author who graduated from Skidmore College in 2019 with a BA in English where she studied fiction.
Trevisani writes, "In the year 2050, the United States has transformed into OPTI's New America, a place where all its citizens are under the oppressive control of a tyrannical robot named OPTI who demands to be worshipped above God. Abigail Richardson grows up in this totalitarian society as a Christian, along with her siblings, Faith, Scarlett, and Renée, and learns she must hide her faith to survive. As a child, Abigail's family has torn apart when Faith tragically dies, leaving her with a crushed soul. Two nights before her fifteenth birthday, while living with the harsh merciless Edwins in a foster home, Abigail's faith is put to its greatest test. When Abigail commits an act of pure desperation and survival, the course of her life is forever altered. This one dire act sparks a series of misfortune and terror in her life. She must trust in God to rescue her. Her life depends on it.
"As Abigail walks through her valley and the consequences of her ill-fated decision, OPTI surveys her every move with threats of imprisonment and death hanging over her head. Abigail yearns for freedom from persecution and to live peacefully with her family. However, with OPTI in power, her aims seem next to impossible to achieve. In a society where every day is an act of survival, Abigail must find a way to move forward and persevere in her faith that God will rescue her and everyone under OPTI's cruel soul-devouring regime. Will the light of the Lord overcome even the greatest darkness and the most treacherous of evil?"
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Paige Trevisani's new book awakens the readers' minds for them to be able to see and realize the importance of having faith in God no matter how dark their lives may seem.

Conscious Discipline, a 25-year leader in the field of social and emotional learning (SEL), and Sargent Rehabilitation Center's Regional Resource Center have entered a partnership that will unite schools, parents, and community SEL services state-wide.

ORLANDO, FLA. (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
Conscious Discipline, a 25-year leader in the field of social and emotional learning (SEL), and Sargent Rehabilitation Center's Regional Resource Center have entered a partnership that will unite schools, parents, and community SEL services state-wide.
The partnership between Conscious Discipline and Sargent will provide the state's schools with access to a single, evidence-based approach to SEL for education programs from birth through adulthood. The penetration of SEL into Rhode Island schools meets many Biden Administration priorities for education, which include providing increased services during the early childhood years, equity in education, increased mental health services, community school outreach, and investing in "resources for our schools so students grow into physically and emotionally healthy adults."
The partnership, launching March 10, 2021, is the culmination of four years in which thousands of Rhode Island educators and students experienced improvement in discipline, school climate, academic achievement and sense of belonging after training in Conscious Discipline with key Sargent staff. These improvements will expand in both depth and breadth under the partnership as school administrators and educators state-wide receive classroom coaching, exclusive content, professional development workshops, and priority status for attending Conscious Discipline's public events. An immersive week-long Summer Institute (August) and a 2-day Building Trauma-Sensitive Classrooms and Schools workshop (October) are among the public events scheduled in Rhode Island with Dr. Becky Bailey, the founder and originator of Conscious Discipline.
Conscious Discipline is a brain-based, trauma-informed, adult-first methodology that integrates SEL, school culture and discipline in order to create collaborative, equitable learning communities that support all members in reaching their highest potential. In 2020, the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) named Conscious Discipline a "SELect Program," its highest designation for effective, evidence-based SEL. http://www.consciousdiscipline.com
Sargent Rehabilitation Center is a nonprofit organization offering educational consulting, neurorehabilitation, day school programs, diagnostic services and restorative justice practices throughout Rhode Island and surrounding Massachusetts and Connecticut. http://www.sargentcenter.org
Regarding this collaboration, Dr. Bailey said, "There is nothing more inspiring than partnership. Conscious Discipline and Sargent Rehabilitation Center's Regional Resource Center are united in helping all educators and families build the social and emotional skillsets and inner resources needed to manage their external experiences."

FolderWave's proven Pathway platform empowers students and those that support students like parents and counselors, in seeking a student's own unique path through education and career exploration.

WESTFORD, MASS. (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
Pathway by FolderWave offers students, school districts, community-based organizations, and adult learners a proven comprehensive platform to research and plan a student's path for success, whether through college or a job-oriented technical education. The journey begins with self-discovery and Pathway offers a clear route to get there.
The platform, which is utilized by students and school counselors across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as MEFA Pathway, offered by MEFA (the Massachusetts Educational Financing Authority), guides secondary school students through a "pathway" of ongoing exploration. Students can shape their future while learning key skills on the way to adulthood. The journey starts with fun assessment tests where the answers students provide reveal careers that may be of interest to them. Through deeper career exploration, students can begin to narrow the possibilities for them after high school, whether it be via college or other avenues. Pathway also introduces students early to the importance of financial literacy and teaches them essential skills such as analysis (through college cost comparisons), budgeting (through cost calculation tools), and decision-making based on wants versus needs.
"We are proud to offer a product, in partnership with FolderWave, that supports students across the Commonwealth as they plan for college and career," said Tom Graf, Executive Director at MEFA.
Beyond Massachusetts, Phil Solomon, Director of Secondary Schools, West Warwick Public Schools in Rhode Island which currently uses Pathway by FolderWave said, "The assignments are more concrete, and the tool helps motivate the students, especially getting the middle schoolers in the right head space to guide them." Phil went on to say "Using Pathway has been especially helpful with remote learners, since they are on a hybrid schedule. The kids are kind of in limbo when working from home. Now they have assignments they can work on independently. Learning how to be self-directed is so important in remote learning, not just during this pandemic, but anytime. In Pathway they are always able to work on something. Pathway is tailor-made for remote learning."
Pamela Brennan, Executive Director of Client Success at FolderWave , reflects on the countless hours she has spent gathering feedback from clients. "The feedback we are receiving from both educators and students is exciting! The common message heard is that the platform is comprehensive and it aligns with Individual Learning Plans. The tool is easy to use and the students really like it."

The Sales Enablement Console provides sales people with ecommerce purchase data to better manage the customer relationship. This product release also updates the native B2B theme for ADA Compliance.

MILWAUKEE (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
Znode, an enterprise B2B ecommerce platform and product of Amla Commerce, has released its 9.6.3 platform update. This update focuses on empowering salespeople with a new console for customer, quote and order data that brings insights to the fingertips of those directly engaging customers. The key features introduced in Znode 9.6.3 include:
Sales Enablement Console:
As more sales move through ecommerce and highly trained sales people are required to work remote, the demand for web-based sales enablement tools has grown. Znode now solves sales enablement for specific representative roles by territory and account assignment. Within the console sales representatives can see quotes, orders and user data associated with their user providing them with insights into customer shopping and ordering patterns and analysis opportunities to ensure customers are receiving the correct information therefore enabling sales people to play the role of consultant and assist in increasing sales transactions. Additional functionality sales representatives gain includes the ability to view and manage users, orders, quotes and returns as well as the ability to create orders and quotes within the console providing a deeper level of customer relationship management. The console is web-based and does not require the sales person to use a VPN for access ensuring a more productive sales team during remote work.
CardConnect Payment Gateway Integration:
An integration to CardConnect has been built as a punchout/iframe method. This integration path provides the opportunity to maintain a consistent user experience, opposed to an off-domain conversion point, as well as the ability to retain full user conversion analytics tracking. This integration is available natively with pre-built API endpoints for quick connection to customers looking to utilize CardConnect as their payment gateway. This payment gateway meets PCI Level 1 Compliance.
Additionally, the Znode 9.6.3 update enhanced a number of existing features including:
Native B2B Theme is now ADA Compliant:
The native B2B theme available in Znode is now Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant at the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Level A, thus providing users with disabilities the ability to use a website built utilizing the theme. Complying at a certain level of accessibility is part of the implementation process and maintained after the store goes live.
Znode is a headless ecommerce platform allowing these updates to be consumed by customers without the need for an expensive upgrade process.
"We're excited to release the Sales Enablement Console as it originated from customer feedback and was engineered into the Znode product in a matter of months," says Rupesh Agrawal, President and CEO of Amla Commerce, parent company of Znode. "The speed at which the Znode team was able to design and release the new native Znode offering displays the flexibility of the API first architecture. Our customers should also benefit from the increased focus on compliance mandates with the ADA compliant B2B theme update and now PCI compliant CardConnect payment gateway integration."

Proprietary Report Explores the How and Why Behind Better Long-Term Digital Marketing.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
3x3, a growth marketing company, is pleased to release a proprietary report that outlines how beverage alcohol brands can build long-term marketing strategies that drive growth. As e-commerce explodes and retail discovery remains pandemic-constricted, brands need an informed approach to digital marketing that goes beyond short-term ad campaigns.
In today's digital world, consumer decision-making begins online, but that product discovery isn't necessarily why people open their web browser or social media app. Research from Think with Google shows that 60 percent of people discovered their favorite brands online while doing other activities, like reading emails, scrolling news feeds, browsing lifestyle sites and apps, and more. Most likely, they see a targeted ad at the right time in the right place.
But 3x3 knows that while shopper discovery may begin with an ad campaign, brand marketing shouldn't. Beverage alcohol suppliers looking to increase customer engagement and loyalty need to strategically invest in tools that can deliver the who, what, when, where, and why that creates strong relationships with shoppers.
"Brand marketing is like showing up to a party," says 3x3 CEO Mike Provance, PhD. "If you stand in the corner, people may not remember that you were ever there. But if you seek people out, hold different conversations based on their interests or on how well you know each other, maybe sing a little karaoke together, you've made friends for life. The most successful brands act like engaged party guests. They build enticing marketing paths that guide specific customers to them, over and over again."
In this report, 3x3 offers a primer on digital marketing and examines how beer, wine, and spirits brands can build long-term marketing that drives growth. Its contents include:

Digital Marketing 101: What is digital marketing?

Short vs. Long-Term Marketing: How do you integrate short- and long-term strategies?

Build a Better How: What makes a strong brand marketing strategy?

Case Studies: How are brands leveraging digital marketing tools for growth?

This blueprint for digital marketing will lead to stronger relationships with repeat shoppers for beverage brands. Every brand's playbook can (and should) evolve through constant analysis and leveraging of the tools available. The most successful brands of tomorrow will commit to long-term digital marketing today. Better strategies and campaign executions will help any brand grow, even in uncertain times.
For more details, additional insights, and information about 3x3, access the full report.
For media inquiries, please contact Josh Zoland (jzoland@colangelopr.com) or Paul Yanon (pyanon@colangelopr.com) of Colangelo & Partners.
About 3x3 - http://www.3x3.us
3x3 is a growth marketing company for beer, wine, and spirits brands. The company focuses on democratizing data to help alcohol brands grow according to their goals. How? 3x3 uses proprietary sales data to find ideal local shoppers for brands, then delivers alcohol advertising to them across digital channels.

The platform then connects users directly to the listing agent and enables one to schedule a tour or ask a question directly from the website.

MIAMI Commercial members will now gain the advantage of automatically posting to CoeoSpace simply by inputting available commercial spaces to the MLS database, exactly as before and without the need for any additional steps.

The paper evaluates responses from over 2,000 consumers in the United States, Canada, the Philippines, Australia and the United Kingdom to reveal the qualities consumers look for in their healthcare experience. A follow-up to The Beryl Institute's 2018 Consumer Report, the study's findings remain largely consistent with the findings from two years prior, even throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
The goal of this global inquiry was to identify what matters most to healthcare consumers and provide tangible takeaways to help healthcare organizations improve experience. The overarching message from consumers is organizations must do better at listening, communicating and partnering with patients and their families and the healthcare workforce in order to succeed.
The report illustrates key considerations for healthcare organizations and leaders to excel at improving patient experience:

Build processes to ensure consumers feel listened to and communicated with effectively.

Commit to and ensure an integrated approach to experience.

Equip and empower everyone in your organization to deliver a consistently exceptional experience.

Remember that the continuum of care expands far beyond facility walls.

Connect experience to outcomes, brand loyalty and the bottom line.

"What the data ultimately shows us is an immutable fact observed across many of the studies conducted over the past few years at The Beryl Institute, that no matter where one stands on the planet, they see themselves as a human being with hopes, needs and dreams," said Jason Wolf, Ph.D., CPXP, President & CEO of The Beryl Institute. "And these core ideas of how they want to be treated, communicated to, respected and understood hold true for everyone."
This report is available with an Executive Brief, a three-page summary with key points and takeaways: https://www.theberylinstitute.org/PXCONSUMERSTUDYBrief

DemandLab's Revenue Attribution Insights Report provides marketing leaders with recommendations for practically and successfully implementing an attribution strategy.

PHILADELPHIA (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
Technology-focused marketing consultancy and marketing-led customer experience pioneer DemandLab has released The CMO's Challenge: Revenue Attribution From a Leadership Perspective. This new Insights Report examines the results of a recent survey of seasoned marketing leaders on the topic of marketing attribution and explores the story behind the numbers.
Today, marketing leaders are increasingly assuming a more substantial role in corporate leadership, specifically with regards to revenue generation. Yet CMOs continue to be challenged by the difficulty of reporting on revenue impact and company growth, with only 49% having an attribution strategy in place.
"This insights report helps marketers examine their attribution roadblocks and identify the steps to overcome them," said Rhoan Morgan, CEO and Co-Founder of DemandLab. "Successful marketing must include the ability to prove revenue impact as this is key in developing greater agility, better performance, bigger budgets, and more autonomy. The 49% of CMOs with no attribution strategy run a serious risk of jeopardizing their jobs and departments."
The Insight Report builds on The Leadership Outlook on Revenue Attribution Survey's findings, illustrates the perspective of marketing leaders, decision-makers, and C-suite executives, and examines revenue attribution through:

Peer survey and benchmark data

Executive leadership challenges and opportunities

Expert actionable insights and recommendations

"The common theme of the difficulty in implementing attribution strategies inspired us to develop Sightline, which allows marketers to accurately measure their performance without complex integrations or little sales process changes required," said Eric Hollebone, Chief Operating Officer at DemandLab. "Sightline works automatically in the background of existing Marketo Engage and Salesforce instances so marketers can focus on achieving end-to-end marketing attribution without a big lift. Our current clients using Sightline attribution are thrilled with the results."
DemandLab continues to innovate within the discipline of marketing attribution. For the full CMO's Challenge: Revenue Attribution From a Leadership Perspective Report, visit DemandLab's Revenue Attribution Resource Center.

New Small Factor Edge Filer and Lightweight Desktop Agents Securely Extend Corporate File Systems to Satellite Branches and Home Offices

NEW YORK (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
CTERA, the edge-to-cloud file services leader, today introduced a new remote work suite for its global file system featuring a small form factor edge filer and a new lightweight file access agent. The product suite enables enterprises to securely extend LAN-speed access to corporate file shares for small regional teams and data-intensive home users while preserving consistent folder structures, permissions, and access control.
The pandemic forced an overnight shift to work-from-home that has raised serious data management challenges in enabling remote NAS access, scaling distributed VDI platforms, and combating a steep rise in ransomware attacks. According to Gartner, 48% of employees will work remotely after the pandemic, compared to 30% pre-pandemic.1 As a result, IT organizations are rethinking long-term remote workforce IT strategies to ensure fast and secure access to corporate data from any location.
The CTERA Enterprise File Services Platform enables organizations to connect remote sites and users over a single namespace and deliver HQ-grade data access experiences from any edge location or device. By unifying local file sharing with multi-cloud object storage, CTERA's global file system technology allows enterprises to modernize every aspect of their distributed file services delivery – including remote offices, work-from-home laptops, VDI, and mobile – without compromising performance or security.
The CTERA remote work suite features the CTERA Edge HC100, a desktop-sized edge filer with 1TB of high-speed NVMe cache delivering fast network storage access for small workgroups, coupled with the CTERA Drive Connect agent for Windows and MacOS that provides desktop-integrated cached access to corporate file shares. The new suite provides a unique solution for organizations that seek to roll out managed file services to many remote locations, eliminating the need for expensive servers and backup systems.
"CTERA's multi-cloud global file system allows us to provide secure and familiar file services to users anywhere," said Brian Zwart, IT Manager at American Engineering Testing. "The HC100 filer provides the right balance of performance, security, and sleek form-factor to support our small offices around the country and enables global access without forcing our users to learn a new way to work with their file shares."
"Demand for modern data storage services is going up, and CTERA offers one of the most complete solutions in the market," said Enrico Signoretti, Senior Data Storage Analyst, GigaOm. "Enterprises must address urgent challenges related to providing access for small remote offices and work-from-home scenarios. CTERA's ability to extend cloud file services to any office or endpoint while preserving organizational security and control fits a lot of distributed enterprises' needs in the post-Covid era."
"CTERA has always been the leader when it comes to providing a holistic data management solution across large-scale deployments with heterogeneous access clients across laptops, VDIs, and filers," said Oded Nagel, Chief Strategy Officer at CTERA. "With the new remote work suite, we are bringing unlimited data access to the far edge of the enterprise, enabling remote workgroups and data-intensive users such as video editors and designers to enjoy HQ-grade productivity from their home offices."

Winona Cotter stays true to its founding principles while building The State of Hockey's newest high school team, the Cotter Ramblers

WINONA, MINN. (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
Cotter Schools, of Winona, MN announced today that it has commenced the first season of its boys' high school hockey team. Cotter, a private Catholic school serving 460 students in grades 5-12 has educated generations of area students for more than a century. Now they are venturing into the sport of hockey with hopes of putting the school on the map as a destination for student athletes wanting a strong academic experience and athletic opportunities.
In a time where many high school hockey programs are consolidating with neighboring schools, the students and parents at Cotter wanted their own identity, one that matched the founding principles of the school. For many years Cotter had a strong hockey program but most recently it has participated in a co-op team with Winona High School.
"It didn't surprise me that these students wanted to do all they could to create their own identity in the game of hockey," said Cotter President Sister Judith Schaefer. "The word can't isn't in our vocabulary at Cotter. We do things differently here. It's the Cotter way."
Plans were set in motion about two years ago when a group of parents and boosters decided the time was right to form a Cotter Rambler Hockey Team. And while the team only has 10 players, and they must borrow goalies from their opponent, the foundation is being laid for a program that has very high aspirations.
"We are playing a junior varsity schedule this year with the intentions of playing at the varsity level next season," said Marie Barrientos, Interim Athletic Director. "It's very exciting to see our boys' step onto the ice in their Cotter hockey jerseys. We know that this is just the start of something wonderful."
At the helm for the Ramblers is veteran coach Martin Raymond who has more than 25 years of coaching experience around the globe. Raymond said he was drawn to Cotter because of the school family and the potential to build a strong program from the bottom up.
"It is a big challenge, but also an honor to start a program," said Raymond. "We are a small team in terms of numbers, but our work ethic and commitment are second to none. We hope to build this team into a contender in a short amount of time."
For players and families from Cotter the ability to revive the hockey program and add to the athletic lore of the school was important.
Cotter Hockey parent Mike Slaggie said that giving hockey players from Cotter their own identity was important to parents, boosters, school officials and most importantly the players, including his son Alex, a freshman and third generation Cotter student.
"It is an ambitious undertaking, especially in a pandemic," he said. "It has been so rewarding to see our players represent our school. It is meaningful to know these kids are taking pride in the fact they are playing for Cotter and all of the tradition and excellence the school stands for."
The effort to start Cotter's own team was a grassroots approach. Careful consideration was made to hold true to Cotter's mission.
"This is a great time to be a part of the Cotter family," said Slaggie. "The addition of a hockey team goes hand-in-hand with other enhancements happening on campus. The time was just right."
With plans to welcome students in grades K-12 soon, new dormitory facilities, $20 million in classroom renovations and a 30-year-old international boarding program, Cotter Hockey hopes to attract players from the local area and abroad to solidify its fledgling hockey program.
For player Ashur Rouleau, who joined the team in January, becoming a part of the Cotter family is a hockey dream come true.
"It is a great program full of hard-working players and coaches willing to push the players to their full potential," he said. "The team is awesome, and we all get along great. Support by the parents and Cotter community has been great as well and I look forward to being a part of the program in the future"
Even in its' infancy, the Cotter hockey team is making its mark.
"We are not judging this year by wins and losses," said Coach Raymond. "We are working harder and harder each day to build for the future."
Even the state's highest-level team, the Minnesota Wild, has taken notice of the Cotter Ramblers. The team was asked recently to present a Cotter hockey sweater to the Wild so it can be displayed in the Xcel Energy Center concourse with every other boy and girl's hockey team in Minnesota.
"This truly is a thrilling time to be a part of this school," said Sister Schaefer. "I just love watching our boys play and give everything they have playing a sport they love. My hopes are that they have a great experience and that I can someday ride on the Zamboni."

Over 500 students from the city of Winona, the towns surrounding Winona, and from over 14 countries around the world engage in rigorous academic study, faith-centered experiences, and personally enriching athletic and arts activities - all with one goal in mind: that each student discover and develop his or her fullest potential.

Highlighting accomplishments and notable moments from the Clean Cooking Alliance and its partners throughout the year

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
The Clean Cooking Alliance (CCA) published its 2020 Annual Report today, highlighting accomplishments and notable moments from CCA and its partners throughout the year.
The report opens by acknowledging that the clean cooking sector – like so many others – was heavily impacted in 2020 by the health risks and economic consequences of COVID-19. As the report highlights, CCA responded to this challenge in a variety of ways, starting with surveying 300 companies, investors, donors, and others in the clean cooking sector about the pandemic-related impacts they were experiencing. CCA also funded two studies, currently ongoing, on the links between exposure to household air pollution from inefficient cooking methods and COVID-19.
"Despite the devastating impacts of COVID-19 around the world, we saw significant progress throughout 2020," said Dymphna van der Lans, Chief Executive Officer of CCA. "In addition to providing critical support for pandemic recovery efforts, CCA helped secure more than US$16 million to fast-track sector growth and launched an industry development program to help businesses expand. We also continue to lead a system-wide strategy development process that could dramatically accelerate progress toward universal access to clean cooking. These achievements, combined with the many others outlined in this report, make me incredibly optimistic for 2021 and beyond."
The report provides details on these and other accomplishments from 2020, including:

Launching the Cooking Industry Catalyst, an industry development program designed to demonstrate the viability of commercially scalable business models working to deliver high-impact clean cooking solutions. As part of this work, CCA selected over 30 companies to join its Venture Catalyst portfolio, which offers specialized support to solidify commercial viability, enhance investment-readiness, and facilitate access to growth capital.

Kicking off the Clean Cooking Systems Strategy, a sector-wide initiative to accelerate universal access to clean cooking by 2030.

Launching the Haiti Clean Cooking Fund, which provides financial and technical assistance to Haitian companies, starting with Palmis Eneji, a clean energy product supplier.

Supporting the launch of the Spark+ Africa Fund, a pioneering investment facility focused on scaling up clean cooking solutions in Africa.

Developing a new Monitoring and Evaluation Framework and Theory of Change to better measure the impact and effectiveness of clean cooking activities.

Collaborating with partners to launch the Women in Clean Cooking Mentorship Program, with an initial cohort of 30 mentees from across African and Asia, selected from a pool of over 150 applicants.

Leading virtual workshops on the implementation of clean cooking standards in Francophone West Africa.

Continuing to raise greater awareness for clean cooking through the award-winning "Clean Cooking Is..." campaign, the world's first global advocacy effort designed exclusively to drive greater support for and investment in clean cooking.

Funding critical research, including how to best increase access to, and use of, clean cooking technologies in Nepal.

Additionally, the report features interviews from two series published by CCA in 2020: the Clean Cooking Leadership Series, which focuses on CEOs and other business leaders, and the Women Energizing Change Series, which highlights the crucial and varied ways in which women are advancing the development of the clean cooking sector. Specifically, the report includes interviews with:

Esther Altorfer, Managing Director of East Africa for Sistema.bio, a biogas system company that saw its sales increase even under COVID-19 restrictions;

Volker Schultz, CEO of Circle Gas, a holding company that acquired new technology as part of clean cooking's largest private equity deal to date;

Kalinda Magloire, CEO of SWITCH S.A., a clean cooking business that adapted to address food insecurity challenges in Haiti during COVID-19;

Happy Amos, Managing Director of Roshan Global Services, a stove manufacturing and retail company that adopted digital marketing strategies to maintain and grow its customer base; and

Vijay Bhopal, Managing Director of Connected Energy, a start-up designing innovative technology to make small-scale biogas systems more accessible.

Link Labs today announced the release of AirFinder OnSite, its next-generation IoT asset tracking platform for campus-based environments that dramatically improves accuracy and affordability. The most precise Bluetooth-based location technology available, AirFinder OnSite is offered initially to early adopters through Link Labs' AirFinder Early Access Program.

ANNAPOLIS, MD. (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
Link Labs, a leading provider of an end-to-end IoT platform for locating, managing and monitoring equipment, supplies and assets anywhere at any time, today announced the release of AirFinder OnSite, its next-generation IoT asset tracking platform for campus-based environments that dramatically improves accuracy and affordability. AirFinder OnSite is the first enterprise Real-Time Location System (RTLS) that provides sub-meter accuracy by using a Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth LE) radio to support both Bluetooth LE and phase ranging.
Link Labs will officially unveil AirFinder OnSite in a free webinar on Thurs., March 18, 2021 at 12:00 p.m. ET. Link Labs is initially offering AirFinder OnSite to early technology adopters through the company's AirFinder Early Access Program. General availability is expected in Summer 2021.
"AirFinder OnSite represents a significant leap forward for real-time asset location and tracking technology and we're very excited to be first to market with an enterprise solution that uses phase ranging to bring location accuracy with Bluetooth LE tags to the sub-meter level – to within an arm's length," said Bob Proctor, CEO of Link Labs. "We've also successfully driven infrastructure and tag costs out of the platform, which makes AirFinder OnSite the first to eliminate the need to choose between high cost/high accuracy ultra-wideband solutions or low cost/low accuracy traditional Bluetooth LE solutions – both high accuracy and low cost are now attainable for companies of all sizes."
AirFinder OnSite is ideal for IoT tracking in distribution centers and warehouses. It's also suitable for various IoT applications in manufacturing, healthcare and supply chain and logistics management, among others. With seven patented or patent-pending Link Labs technologies, AirFinder OnSite was developed on Nordic Semiconductor's nRF52833, a general-purpose multiprotocol SoC (system-on-chip) with a Bluetooth LE Direction Finding capable radio.
AirFinder OnSite features include:

Accuracy everywhere at the sub-meter level: AirFinder OnSite features numerous innovations at the firmware level that cover an array of technical challenges that need to be met for an enterprise grade solution – including ranging methodology, interference avoidance, location algorithm, power efficiency and scalability to high tag densities. Together, these innovations allow asset location to be fine-tuned to the sub-meter level, making it the most precise Bluetooth-based location technology available.

Improved battery life at the tag level: With Link Labs' proprietary eXtreme Low Energy (XLE) innovation to determine location, battery life of tags has been extended by more than 400%, or approximately 1-2 years without needing replacement, compared to proximity-based location systems. This allows tags with very small batteries to last for up to three years for use cases such as finding assets in large manufacturing or distribution environments. Small items such as tools and calibrated instruments can now be tracked as easily as carts, inventory and work-in-process.

Reduced latency: AirFinder OnSite's phase-ranging and location determination process take place on Nordic Semiconductor's nRF52833, requiring less than 1/20th of a second. This allows use cases with very low latency requirements to be met, such as fork-lift tracking or fast alerting when assets leave an internally geofenced area.

Reduced cost: AirFinder OnSite achieves a fractional infrastructure cost compared to industry alternatives when high accuracy is needed everywhere, with savings of up to 90% possible. Because asset location is determined on the tag, low-cost low bandwidth infrastructure can be used for data backhaul, reducing system costs. Further, with unprecedented power efficiency and high accuracy coming from a wide array of standard, low-cost Bluetooth LE tags, AirFinder OnSite's total cost of ownership is substantially less than ultra-wideband or traditional Bluetooth-based solutions.

Link Labs' AirFinder platform is the industry's only complete, secure, flexible and software-driven platform for multiple location types – indoor, outdoor and everywhere in-between. It is natively intelligent in every aspect – from firmware, sensors, tags and beacons to real-time data analytical models – to drive tangible and measurable business impacts from IoT implementations.
AirFinder does not require an internal WiFi system and is capable of operating on its own secure network layer via Link Labs' Symphony Link or other third-party network layer technology, such as Bluetooth mesh technologies. AirFinder is rapidly deployable and highly scalable – it uses significantly less infrastructure than other systems—which accelerates IoT deployment to just days, not months.
Location data from each AirFinder device securely flows to the AirFinder web app or directly to customer databases via extensible APIs, which provides the ability to locate and monitor assets in real-time, analyze asset history, add rules and alerts, establish geofences and more. The AirFinder platform also provides remote monitoring and device management, allowing the system to easily be optimized at any time for different use cases.
Link Labs CEO Bob Proctor and AirFinder OnSite Chief Engineer Mark Bloechl will officially unveil AirFinder OnSite in a free webinar on Thurs., March 18, 2021 at 12:00 p.m. ET. Register to attend here.
In Spring 2021, the AirFinder Early Access Program for technology early adopters will support pilot deployments of AirFinder OnSite, which is offered at a discounted rate to qualified companies. The program is accepting applications here: https://www.link-labs.com/airfinder-early-access-program.

Dr. Michael Salomon, Senior Vice President, Development, and Dr. Irene Ferreira, Head of Clinical Support, Cell and Gene Therapy of SIRION Biotech will discuss optimizing vector design at R&D and preclinical stages for improved safety and efficacy.

MUNICH (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
SIRION Biotech GmbH, a world leader in viral vector-based gene delivery technologies for gene & cell therapy, is hosting a webinar titled "Engineering AAV Lead Vectors for Gene Therapy" on March 16 at 9 a.m. EST/3 p.m. CET. Dr. Michael Salomon, Senior Vice President, Development, and Dr. Irene Ferreira, Head of Clinical Support, Cell and Gene Therapy of SIRION Biotech will discuss optimizing vector design at R&D and preclinical stages for improved safety and efficacy. The rAAV vector design affects not only the duration and localization of the therapeutic sequence transcription, but also manufacturing scalability and generation of manufacturing by-products, such as process- and product-related impurities, that compromise the safety and efficacy of rAAV vector particles.
Join Drs. Salomon and Ferreira as they review the safety challenges of undersized and oversized rAAV vectors and design strategies to address them, the impact of rAAV vector design on manufacturing productivity and batch potency, and the contribution of rAAV vector design to the therapeutic sequence expression level and persistence in the target tissue.
"As a leader in viral vector-based gene delivery technologies, we look forward to sharing our knowledge via gap analysis case studies showing how undersized rAAV vectors affect the level of process-related impurities such as co-packaged DNA plasmid sequences. Our experimental data will compare design strategies, such as adding 'DNA stuffer sequences', to minimize this safety concern. In addition, we will discuss case studies in which oversized rAAV vectors are the root cause of suboptimal rAAV batch potency due to high levels of product-related impurities. Strategies for analytical quantification of these type of impurities will also be demonstrated with experimental data," said Dr. Salomon.
Register today for SIRION's webinar "Engineering AAV Lead Vectors for Gene Therapy" on March 16 by visiting the registration page here.

Prefabricated Cleanroom PODs met the accelerated timeline adding capacity for COVID-19 vaccine candidate manufacturing.

COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
G-CON Manufacturing, the leader in prefabricated, flexible cleanroom solutions, announced today that it has successfully delivered multiple cleanroom PODs to FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies for the build-out at its National Center for Therapeutics Manufacturing (NCTM) in College Station, Texas. The PODs add 4,000 sq. ft. of needed cleanroom space, providing the extra capacity necessary to accelerate production for COVID-19 vaccine candidate manufacturing.
With time being a critical factor to vaccine production, the cleanroom PODs supported the acceleration of the facility expansion by several months. Offsite manufacturing of the PODs allowed for simultaneous cleanroom and infrastructure construction, significantly reducing the project's overall timeline. A flexible testing schedule and approach further enabled a faster delivery speed while maintaining GMP assurance.
"Our entire team is pleased to be part of this important project to help ready FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies' facility for mass production of COVID-19 vaccine candidates," stated Jose Negron, Sales Engineer for G-CON Manufacturing. "Drawings, User Requirement Specifications, submittals and diagrams were reviewed with FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies' team the first week of the project. Having these important documents approved early on, allowed G-CON to procure materials in an expedited manner and begin fabrication of the cleanrooms almost immediately. FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies' team was very responsive, open and approachable, allowing us to be proactive and work diligently to deliver the PODs on time."
"We are thrilled to be part of the rapidly expanding Texas biotech community, and are proud to partner with a Texas-based business to increase our capacity and Advance Tomorrow's Medicines," said Gerry Farrell, Ph.D., Chief Operating Officer, FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies, Texas.
The PODs were designed and built with a robust HVAC system that allows FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies to decontaminate the rooms between batches using Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP). The POD's automation system was also configured to allow FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies to change the room pressurization scheme to meet product specific parameters and GMP requirements.

Research Finds Inspiring Curiosity Is a Main Goal Among Parents

ATLANTA (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
Kids2, a global company that designs solutions to help early-stage parents and families, announces their continued focus on insights-driven design with one of their latest industry whitepaper's titled, "Sparking Children's Curiosity is in Baby Einstein's Brand DNA."
The Baby Einstein Brand is a Kids2 brand that is guided by The Einstein Way, a unique learning philosophy developed through science and child development research. With Albert Einstein as a guiding inspiration, the Baby Einstein Brand believes curiosity is key to helping children be prepared for their future. The new whitepaper outlines research that showcases how a natural sense of curiosity helps with academic achievement, relationship building and finding general satisfaction in life. The Baby Einstein brand champions this research by consistently creating products and digital content that spark a sense of curiosity and help develop children's adaptability for the future.
"Kids2 remains an industry leader because of the unique insights that drive each of our brand's identities," said Rochelle Wainer, Ph. D., Whitepaper Author and Head of Global Insights & Analytics at Kids2. "Kids2 leads with insights to understand our consumer's needs and develop products and content that are differentiated and innovative for our brands."
Also detailed in this whitepaper is The Einstein Way, which is designed to support curiosity through four pillars that are applied when creating any product or content for the Baby Einstein brand. The four pillars are STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics), Brain Development, Montessori Inspired (an educational method focusing on the whole child to create an optimal learning environment) and User-Centered Design.
Additionally, this whitepaper shines a light on the 5 core design principles that inform the Baby Einstein brand. The 5 principles are Open-ended Experiences, Real-world Learning, Multi-sensorial Engagement, Confidence Development, and Creative Thinking Stimulation. These principles allow the Baby Einstein brand's creations to help children's curiosity thrive, strengthen the bond between parents and their children and create an environment that encourages discovery.
What began as a DVD series, rapidly became so much more: an innovative brand offering products and digital content which gives parents the tools to help their child develop curiosity and even more, prepare them for the future. It is predicted that in 2030, 85% of the jobs that will exist have not yet been created. By leading with research, the Baby Einstein brand creates products and content that prepare children for the future. Products from the Baby Einstein brand and digital content produced by Hello Einstein Studios positions parents to be baby's first teacher by providing solutions that help guide both parent and baby into the future.

In this free webinar, the featured speaker will discuss natural history data collection and how these datasets can be used in pediatric rare disease research. An overview of natural history data collection will be provided, including accessing natural history data vs. developing a natural history study. Considerations for developing a natural history study/protocol and the path to registration using historical controls will be discussed.

TORONTO (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
As the clinical research industry experiences a growing focus on rare diseases, particularly on gene therapy approaches to rare, genetic disorders, the need for access to or collection of natural history data becomes critical. The FDA and other global regulatory agencies recognize that while inclusion of a randomized, concurrent control group is ideal, this approach is not always possible, particularly in pediatric rare disease research. In studies requiring high-risk procedures and/or indications that are rapidly progressive and severe, it may not be considered practical or ethical to include a placebo arm. In these cases, the agencies recognize that an historical control may be appropriate.
What is the best way to access or collect these vital data in a vulnerable population? Are biopharma companies and academic researchers the only groups that can run this type of study? What if there is natural history data available for a disease, but the group collecting it isn't willing to share it? For pediatric rare diseases, these questions are paramount and should be discussed very early in the clinical development planning process, ideally even before a potential therapy is developed. As is true for all rare disease research, there are logistical challenges to gathering natural history data, and a clinical program may hinge on the existence and robustness of this dataset.
Register for this live webinar on Tuesday, March 30, 2021 at 11am EDT (4pm BST/UK) and join Jess Conicelli, Synteract's Executive Director, Strategic Development, Rare, Orphan, and Pediatric Diseases as she discusses natural history studies and their place in the pediatric rare disease clinical development plan.

Trident was selected as a winner in the US Army xTech SBIR competition, "Topic F: Condition Based Maintenance for Combat Vehicles", which focuses on increasing Army vehicle fleet operational readiness by predicting component failure and therefore reducing unplanned maintenance.

FAIRFAX, VA. (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
Trident Systems Inc. received notification that its Predictive Maintenance Analyzer (PMA) was selected for funding through the US Army Applied SBIR program. This Direct-to-Phase II (D2PhII) announcement is the culmination of three rounds of evaluation within the US Army xTech SBIR competition, which was completed in November.
https://www.arl.army.mil/xtechsearch/competitions/xtechSBIR.html
The Predictive Maintenance Analyzer will support advanced prognostics and diagnostics of vehicle health by autonomously transmitting critical data to operators and maintenance support personnel. This information will allow maintenance experts to assess impending faults, order appropriate repair parts and prepare actions necessary to service the vehicle in question.
The PMA builds off Trident's extensive experience in the field of predictive maintenance. Trident provides prognostic and health monitoring solutions for a variety of tactical vehicles, vessels, and platforms, manned and unmanned, employed across the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Special Operations Command.
These condition-based maintenance (CBM) systems include on-board data capture and analysis of critical sensors across the platform, on-board diagnostics, failure prediction and alerts, as well as automatic data off-boarding (transmitting imminent maintenance concerns to appropriate support personnel) to support fleet-wide data trend analysis.
"The Predictive Maintenance Analyzer is another example of Trident's dedication to the development of critical CBM systems for US tactical vehicles," said James O'Looney, Vice President, Integrated C4I Systems Business Unit. "The PMA will increase the operational readiness rates of combat vehicles, improve the safety of our warfighter's prime movers, and lower the lifecycle maintenance costs."

As one of the largest advertising platforms in the world, GumGum is expanding its offering to include a new video ad format that opens up video inventory that has never been available before. This new In-Video product allows brands to think past the commercial break and connect with customers in a non-intrusive way, by placing ads directly into uninterrupted video-content. Ultimately changing how advertisers effectively reach audiences in streaming environments and unlocking additional inventory for video publishers.

SANTA MONICA, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
GumGum, a global technology and media company specializing in contextual intelligence, today announced their In-Video product, which is the first scalable overlay ad placement for streaming video environments.
As one of the largest advertising platforms in the world, GumGum is expanding its offering to include a new video ad format that opens up video inventory that has never been available before. This new In-Video product allows brands to think past the commercial break and connect with customers in a non-intrusive way, by placing ads directly into uninterrupted video-content. Ultimately changing how advertisers effectively reach audiences in streaming environments and unlocking additional inventory for video publishers.
"This new ad unit is a game changer for CTV and OTT and for all of us as consumers. With this In-Video overlay unit, publishers have access to video inventory they haven't had before and brands have the opportunity, for the first time, to reach consumers without disrupting the content they want to be watching," said Phil Schraeder, CEO, GumGum. "We have seen an overwhelming amount of interest for this product already, as our pilot program is basically sold out. We are excited to expand this offering with more video publishers and streaming platforms in the coming year as the demand continues to skyrocket."
Inspired by the lower-third TV promos that news sites typically use, this new overlay ad placement puts the user experience first by providing a better, less intrusive way to deliver brand messaging across streaming inventory. GumGum's patent pending Server Side Ad Insertion (SSAI) technology allows overlay ads to be inserted post-production, directly into the streaming video, giving viewers the ad experience without ever leaving what they came to watch. GumGum and Digiday research found that 45 percent of industry professionals say consumer demand for non-interruptive experiences will heavily impact video strategy in the future.
While many companies are testing out technology to place overlay ads within video environments, this is the first that gives advertisers a true scalable option to purchase user-targeted ads in real-time, post-production, either via a programmatic or direct buy. This offering is currently available with CTV apps AXS.TV, Zone.TV, VideoBridge, and ACW TV. In 202, GumGum will continue to grow this offering through partnerships with key streaming providers and expand beyond video-on-demand into live linear TV.
"This has been a year in the making but we believe these overlay ad placements will change how advertisers effectively reach audiences in streaming environments. By placing ads right into the streaming video we can help improve brand favorability, solve for giving advertisers attention metrics they crave, and unlock additional inventory for video publishers," said Ken Weiner, Chief Technology Officer, GumGum.
This new ad format gives publishers additional video inventory to monetize, allowing for the opportunity to boost overall video CPMs. With this seamless technical integration, publishers can easily indicate which videos they want to monetize and GumGum technology will take care of creating the available inventory and source demand. Publishers will also have the ability to use the new available inventory to promote their own content.
GumGum isn't the only one excited about this new overlay ad placement:
"At IPG we like this kind of out-of-the-box thinking. Streaming environments are a huge focus for our clients right now and they are looking for innovative and creative ways to connect with consumers within OTT and CTV environments. We are excited to explore the effectiveness of GumGum's new in-video ad unit and give our brands the ability to connect with consumers in a meaningful and non-intrusive way." - Kara Manatt, SVP Intelligence Solutions, MAGNA Global.
"GumGum has been an essential partner for many of the Ad Council's most important recent initiatives, including #AloneTogether, which encouraged social distancing in the Covid-19 pandemic, and Vote for Your Life, our campaign to remind Americans to get out and vote during last year's election. We are proud to have been an early adopter of GumGum's In-Video unit for CTV. The results have been really impressive, amplifying our PSA messages to the right online audiences, without being intrusive. We're so excited to see GumGum's In-Video capabilities move further into the OTT and CTV space, helping to open up the huge potential within streamed video environments." - Kathy Kayse, Chief Media Strategy and Partnerships Officer, Ad Council.
"We are very excited to unveil this collaboration with GumGum. As part of the exponential growth in OTT, being able to provide innovative advertising solutions has been an ongoing request from partners. Delivering elegant overlay advertising on Connected Televisions was a challenge due to the absence of the native web browser. With the combination of our OTT SMART API and Gum Gum's SSAI technology, we are now able to introduce a new set of ad inventory on CTV expanding opportunities for both supply and demand." - Joe Pascual, CEO/CTO of DotStudioPro.
"GumGum's extension of its dynamic ad placement into CTV is an exciting innovation VideoBridge is excited to help enable. Our partners are always looking for differentiation, and this new placement represents a cutting edge product for buyers in the fastest growing ad ecosystem, CTV," - Nick Frazee, CEO, VideoBridge
"ACW TV is thrilled with the performance and results of GumGum's In-Video ad units. GumGum's seamless technical integration immediately generated new ad-revenue streams to our channels without any disruption to the ACW TV user viewer experience," - Attila Juhasz - Owner / ACW TV
For over a decade, GumGum has been known for pushing the envelope in building technology that allows advertisers to reach consumers in the most effective way. In addition to these leading ad units, GumGum is the leader in contextual intelligence through its Verity offering, which incorporates leading computer vision and natural language processing technology to help advertisers the ideal content to place ads.

Infobip's full offering is now available on Microsoft Azure

JERSEY CITY, N.J. AND VODNJAN, CROATIA (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2021
Global cloud communications company, Infobip today announces its full Communications Platform as-a-Service offering is now available on Microsoft Azure, thereby extending the enterprise customer base globally for Infobip - particularly in the finance, eCommerce and retail sectors, and allow it to expand its core market footprint.

As the company edges towards an IPO, Infobip is looking to use Microsoft's ecosystem to access new business opportunities, share leads and differentiate its expertise to drive transformation for all.

Sensor-based system to improve patient safety and clinical workload productivity.

CALGARY, ALBERTA (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2021
XSENSOR Technology Corporation (XSENSOR), the Intelligent Dynamic Sensing company, is introducing its AI-powered continuous skin monitoring ForeSite Intelligent Surface (IS) mattress solution that allows clinicians to individualize care, improve patient safety, and reduce staff workload.
The prevention of pressure injuries requires an effective data-driven, knowledge-based patient care regimen. Currently, clinicians lack the information needed to understand individual patient risk and see the location of elevated pressures. As a result, there is no way to prioritize care and confirm that repositioning has been effective in redistributing pressure, allowing the tissue to re-oxygenate.
The ForeSite IS system can continuously monitor skin risk and pressure with a mattress or an overlay, both available with integrated microclimate. It can also identify highest-risk patients and body regions using detailed image visualizations and alerting, as well as track individualized patient turn plans at the bedside and nursing station.
"ForeSite Intelligent Surface, now available for clinical evaluation and trials, aims to prevent hospital acquired pressure injuries by providing AI-powered individualized patient monitoring and care plans," said Ian Main, chief executive officer and founder of XSENSOR. "This allows clinical staff to assess risks in real-time and make the most appropriate decisions with all of the relevant patient information."
XSENSOR will feature the ForeSite IS at the upcoming virtual events at the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP) 2021 Virtual Annual Conference on March 10-12 and WoundCon Spring 2021 on March 12.
Clinicians and researchers are invited to contact XSENSOR to arrange a demonstration or get more information on how to participate in the global clinical evaluation or trial. Contact XSENSOR here.
About XSENSOR
XSENSOR is the industry leader in Intelligent Dynamic Sensing, which reveals hidden data across continuous skin monitoring, human performance, product design and safety testing, and sleep improvement applications. Intelligent Dynamic Sensing enables maximum precision measurements, highest quality visualizations, and AI-powered data analysis, resulting in optimized levels of product performance, comfort, and safety.

Bookstore and Community Centre Leverages Ada's No-code, AI Chatbot to Communicate, Engage and Grow with Customers

TORONTO (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2021
Ada, the leader in Automated Customer Experience (ACX), today announced that African-Canadian owned bookstore and cultural centre, A Different Booklist (ADB), is using Ada's AI-powered chatbot to grow its business and engage with new and existing customers. Leveraging conversational AI will allow ADB to focus on its core mission of showcasing Black literature and serving as a hub for Toronto's Black community. Ada's ACX Academy also introduces ADB employees to a new generation of skills in building bots and managing and optimizing automated customer experiences.
ADB opened as an independent bookstore in 1995, and its cultural centre was incorporated in 2015 as a non-profit hub and destination. Like many independent bookstores worldwide, ADB has struggled with the impact of COVID-19 shutdowns forcing more of its new and existing customers online, as well as increased demand for anti-racist titles. At one point, the owners emailed customers asking them not to call the store with inquiries because they were overwhelmed with calls. ADB's bot, Bookwame, will allow ADB to scale to meet these demands. Available to customers 24/7, the bot will provide instant responses to common questions about store hours, online tracking, memberships and gift cards, as well as provide real-time updates about ADB's community events.
Members of Ada's Allyship Employee Resource Group, Slay.da, initially approached the bookstore to offer support. Slay.da is dedicated to amplifying diverse and underrepresented voices from LGTBQ2+, Women/non-binary, and BIPOC communities. The members, already ADB customers, realized that they could create a positive business impact through a donated bot and provide a unique opportunity to learn new skills using Ada's ACX Academy and hands-on learning.
"At Ada, we believe that the best ideas can come from anyone and that unique and diverse backgrounds have not only shaped our ideas, created innovative products, but have transformed our world for the better. Slay.da and the Bot Donation Committee are eager to build partnerships with charitable organizations and businesses who are committed to the recognition, care and support of marginalized people everywhere," said Kareen Onyeaju, Lead, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion & People Operations, Ada. "Within Slay.da, we've established education and events committees led by Ada employees to provide internal educational resources, and encourage DEI discourse. Additionally, our hiring committee has partnered with community leaders, colleges, and universities across Canada to provide co-op placements at Ada for first-generation students. We're extremely proud, to support A Different Booklist, a Toronto institution and leader in elevating and advocating for the city's Black community, to meet the growing needs of its customers."
Ada's no-code, AI chatbot can be deployed in days, without involvement from technology teams, delivering an immediate return on investment. By automating inquiries, ADB will be able to instantly resolve customer questions. Ada also helps streamline and organize the process for customers to email ADB when needed, making it that much easier and faster for the ADB team to respond when customers need their help. Ada will help support ADB's ultimate goal to stay connected with customers, publicize events and promotions, and grow its business.
"The work we're doing with Ada represents how a new generation is coming together to solve problems. Ada's employees had a relationship with our business. They could have done nothing and mentioned our bookstore as a reference point, but the corporation took the initiative and reached out to us with a digital solution designed to address the needs of our business at a time when all Black-owned businesses needed support," said Miguel San Vicente, ADB. "We had to respond to the new world that COVID brought us, and that demands technology, participation and access. Bookwame will allow us to deliver ongoing communication with our customers, but ACX and this collaboration will lead to further skill development and opportunities for youth, staff, and volunteers."
"The future of customer experience demands a team that looks and acts differently than the teams that built the customer experiences of the past," added Mike Murchison, CEO and Co-founder, Ada. "We want to be a part of making the tech industry a more fair one, and our Diversity and Inclusion initiatives include both inviting diverse voices to the room and supporting businesses in our communities that are working to make the world a better place."
For information about introducing the benefits of Ada's AI-powered automation to your charitable or community-driven organization, reach out to botdonation@ada.support.
About Ada
Ada is the market leader in Automated Customer Experience (ACX). As the only chatbot platform purpose-built to support an automation-first customer experience strategy, Ada's AI-powered platform is designed to deliver the scale and impact that transforms customer support from a cost center to profit center.

On Our Sleeves partners with GoNoodle to bring social-emotional content and educational resources to parents, educators, and kids across the country

NASHVILLE, TENN. (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2021
One in five children in America is living with a mental health condition and the COVID-19 pandemic has presented all children with new stresses and challenges. In response, GoNoodle has teamed up with On Our Sleeves, the movement for children's mental health, to create and share social-emotional content for kids and tools and resources for teachers and parents across the country. GoNoodle will work with a team of pediatric mental health experts led by Dr. Parker Huston, Clinical Director of On Our Sleeves and pediatric psychologist at Nationwide Children's Hospital, to help parents and educators who are looking to more deeply connect with the kids in their lives and build bridges to positive conversations on mental health in a rapidly changing world.
Through this partnership, GoNoodle has launched a new channel on its platform, All the Feels. The All the Feels channel includes social-emotional learning videos for elementary-aged students. To recognize Mental Health Awareness Month this coming May, GoNoodle and On Our Sleeves will release a series of new social-emotional downloadable activities anchored by a new GoNoodle character. Each downloadable will be created for parents and teachers to use at home or in the classroom to help kids explore, understand, and communicate their feelings.
"In late January, we reached out to our parent and educator community asking them to submit anonymous questions on the problems they are dealing with right now. Within 24 hours we received nearly 300 questions, ranging from dealing with anxiety and stress to bullying and acting out at home and within the classroom," said KC Estenson, CEO of GoNoodle. "Parents and teachers are desperately seeking tools and resources to find the right answer on how to best help the children in their lives. We are coming together with On Our Sleeves to blend our expertise in movement and mindfulness content, with their expertise in positive children's mental health outcomes, to offer kids and grownups good energy content, tools, and resources that can further the conversation during the pandemic and beyond."
You can find Q&A blog posts with Dr. Parker Huston, answering the questions submitted by the GoNoodle community, on the GoNoodle blog. In his role with the On Our Sleeves movement, Dr. Huston develops, manages, and shares mental health content and advocates for children's mental health and wellness on a local, regional, and national level.
"This partnership with GoNoodle brings together two teams with complementary skills and missions," said Dr. Huston. "The opportunity to work with GoNoodle, which has so clearly developed an expertise for reaching children across the country, means that we can partner to bring positive messages about mental health and wellness directly to children and families everywhere. Then, we can provide extended learning modules to keep the conversation going in schools and homes as well."
The On Our Sleeves movement was launched on World Mental Health Day 2018, with a national mission to break the stigma surrounding children's mental health. On Our Sleeves' mission is to provide every community in America access to free, evidenced-informed, educational resources necessary for breaking stigmas about child mental health and educating families and advocates.
GoNoodle and On Our Sleeves will create two separate activity playbooks designed for students in grades K-2 and 3-5. GoNoodle will share On Our Sleeves resources with its parent and teacher communities through the Good Energy for Grownups blog, email, and social media throughout the multi-year partnership. Together, GoNoodle and On Our Sleeves will ensure that all content is relevant and age-appropriate for GoNoodle's audience.

Affordable housing projects are often rife with red tape, which can lead to the plan being delayed too long to solve the problem, or, in extreme cases, failure as was the case for a planned affordable housing project in LA. While government officials work hard to help the homeless, Nick Saifan, chairman of Vendaval Corp., explains why professionals are better equipped to give veterans an affordable slice of the American Dream.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2021
In a rundown section of Westlake in Los Angeles sits a testament to waste that cost taxpayers $10 million dollars. The sad saga of the West Third Avenue Apartments project, which in 2018 promised to transform a shabby motel into an affordable housing development for aging veterans, became a $30 million California sinkhole. "This is one of those cases where a few rotten apples can ruin the entire barrel," said Nick Saifan, chairman of Vendaval Corp.
The case in Westlake involved an incredible cost overrun on the original property, a greatly overestimated appraisal on the site, and some curious, connections between an unreliable developer and groups tied to the $30 million project.
According to media investigations and public records, most of the $30 million pumped into renovating a 136-room motel went to its former owners, who were sued for illegally evicting tenants. While the Westlake project looked good to some, a review found that the developers planned to spend about $300,000 on each renovated unit. That figure was nearly twice the cost of similar projects in other California cities.
The mess that went down in Westlake is hardly uncommon. A government watchdog report in 2018 exposed the potential risks within an $8 billion taxpayer program designed to help the homeless. An analysis of data by National Public Radio found that between 1997 and 2014 the number of affordable housing units fell nationally by 16 percent, while the cost to taxpayers for those units ballooned by 66 percent.(1)
None of this is news to Saifan, who served in the U.S. military for 24 years and helps former warriors find dignity and community through affordable housing projects.
Demographics of Homeless Veterans(2)

11% of the homeless adult population are veterans

20% of the male homeless population are veterans

68% reside in principal cities

32% reside in suburban/rural areas

51% of individual homeless veterans have disabilities

Saifan won't point fingers. He knows government officials want to help the homeless, especially homeless veterans. But he also knows the world of affordable housing, nonprofits, and government funding can be a confusing journey for anyone not fully engaged in the complex process.
Saifan contends that builders and developers, not career bureaucrats, can guide these projects to fruition in time and within fair budgets. He said experienced developers, especially those with strong ties to veteran groups and nonprofits, can cut through much of the red tape associated with affordable housing developments.
Saifan's affordable housing project in Moreno Valley, CA, is a prime example of how seasoned builders, developers and veteran advocates can create magic and a sense of place for those who defended American freedom.
Vendaval plans to build a multi-use development in Moreno Valley. It will be a sanctuary for veterans in need of housing assistance. The development will help veterans and independent-living seniors find jobs, homes, facilities, training, mentoring and a sense of place all in one location. It will also be a huge job creator for the residents of Moreno Valley and Riverside County.
The Moreno Valley project will put many social programs under one roof, including:

Veteran Programs, including counseling and mentoring.

Job-Placement Assistance.

Transportation to Medical Appointments.

On the job training.

Saifan said citizens should step up and speak out on behalf of homeless veterans. He urged those who care about affordable housing and veterans to encourage government officials to do more for those in need.
"Veterans lived their lives in the service of others, and it is only just that we provide them with the most assistance possible," Saifan said. "We are here to make things possible for veterans and help them live a more fulfilling life."
About Vendaval Corporation
Nick Saifan served in the U.S. military for 24 years, including time stationed in Riverside County, CA. He experienced firsthand the difficulties of transitioning from military life to civilian life and, as a co-founder of a community-based nonprofit, he watched the difficulty in getting donations increasing year by year. Today, he's putting his business savvy where his heart is. He sees a community that, like many, has struggled to evolve with a changing employment picture in the region. Today Vendaval Corporation visualizes  a sustainable business structure creating the opportunity for helping those in need with successful community-based programs. The differentiator in the communities he visualizes is self-sufficient affordable housing in a mixed-use development that offers on-site programs for veterans, youth, education, childcare, on-the-job training, and job placement. These programs begin even before ground is broken. Rounding out the community are retail outlets such as bakeries/coffee shops, dry cleaning shops, a paid-membership fitness center, and financial institution.

A compelling new book written by a female Navy veteran who now works as a National Guardsman. Through her perspective working on the frontlines on the streets of Washington, DC, Julia Maki Pyrah tells what really happened protecting the people of our nation's capital and their right to assemble.

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2021
Most busy mothers juggle their days when raising families by cooking meals for their families, long walks with their family pet, and brushing up on the newest cooking shows and Netflix tv series binge watching. A mother of three, Julia Maki Pyrah does all that, but also squeezes time into her busy schedule to take courses on crowd riot control, rifle practice and the latest uses of gas masks.
Julia Maki Pyrah Air National Guardsman who works for the Department of Defense, describes this – and more – in her compelling new book called Guardians (Tactical Publishing, Nov.2020), from her firsthand perspective and experiences when the DC. National Guard was called upon to support the district's first responders in May 2020 as protests spread across the nation following the death of George Floyd. The mission was the biggest activation of D.C. National Guard soldiers and airmen in over 40 years since the civil rights movement. More than 17,000 National Guard troops in 23 states and the District of Columbia were activated and Julia was on the frontlines.
Guardians gives readers a candid and intimate account as Maki-Pyrah put her life on the line for the sake of her country, joining a limited force of 340 from the D.C. National Guard who were unarmed, and their job was to help with traffic flow — not law enforcement, which was meant to be handled by D.C. police.
When the mob reached the Capitol complex, it took about 15 minutes for the west side perimeter of the building to be breached, she says. The Capitol Police contingent, which numbered around 1,400 that day, was quickly overrun by the estimated 8,000 rioters.
Julia Maki Pyrah is a veteran Naval Aviation Warfare Systems Operator living with her husband and family in DC. She currently works in Airfield Management in the DC Air National Guard. When not defending her country and also caring for her family, she writes other military-themed children's books: What They Don't Teach You in Deer River, My Mom Hunts Submarines, All Hands on Deck! Dad's Coming Home, and more.
Julia Maki Pyrah is available for interview on television, radio, and in print. For a link to Guardians, click here. (Guardians was co-authored by Nicholas A Cotroneo a defense contractor and war veteran.)
Julia has been featured on TODAY Show with Hoda & Jenna, LIFE Today TV, WWAY TV3 News, Just the News TV with David Brody, Fox News Radio, Sirius XM Patriot Channel, David Webb, Stacy on the Right, PRX Radio, VA Veteran Author Corner, Blue Magazine, Battleline Podcast, American Snippets, Politichicks, Military One Click, The Veteran's Report and more!

Americans have experienced an unprecedented leap in digital adoption over the past year and it is unlikely business will ever go back to "normal." Insurance companies need to take notice and adopt new technologies as well or risk failure, explains Paul Ford, CEO of Traffk.

LOUISVILLE, KY. (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2021
Over the past 12 months, technology has entered people's lives in new and unexpected ways with some experts saying the digital adoption we've experienced since March 2020 is equal to 5 years of digital gains.(1) At the beginning of 2020 about 20% of the U.S workforce worked from home at least one day a week, by May 2020 more than half were working from home and now almost a year later, 70% are still working from home.(2) The way we work is only one aspect of daily life that has experienced a digital acceleration. Traffk co-founder and CEO Paul Ford says that it is time for insurance companies, especially the legacy ones, to incorporate AI assisted, data-driven insurance technology into their underwriting process or face extinction.
"For many years, the major players in the insurance industry have not had a lot of competition and so they did not think there was any need to change the way they were doing business," said Ford. "But now the established players are becoming bogged down with paperwork and outdated models while digitally advanced insurance start-ups are having success."
According to a Rock Health and Stanford Center for Digital Health Report, consumer adoption rates for live video telemedicine, wearable ownership and digital health metric tracking grew by more than 10 percentage points over the past year and their data suggests consumers expect technology to be an integral part of their healthcare experience.(3)
A PwC survey found that 41% of respondents said they were likely to switch insurance providers due to a lack of digital capabilities and that 53% said they were likely to use digital channels to engage with their insurers within the next 90 days.(4) For years, the lack of digital-know-how has harmed the insurance industry and therefore its agents and consumers with outdated policies, but the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted other ways the lack of digital adoption is hurting the industry:

Consumers were not able to get required medical exams during lockdown resulting in a backlog waiting to get life insurance—in some cases up to 3 months.

Deferred preventative healthcare could lead to a flood of claims later this year, with many companies lacking the technology to process the claims in a timely manner.

Unknown factors to the mortuary tables will result in even more outdated policy offers that consumers don't want or need.(5)

Agents can't sell the way the used to and this impacts their earnings and livelihood. Face-to-face meetings and social distancing means selling insurance products online via zoom, apps, and through social networks are requisite for agents to survive and thrive.

Insurance companies that embrace new digital possibilities are the ones who will succeed in the future.(6) Start-ups have based their model on incorporating InsurTech into the insurance process from the very beginning and have been able to transform the process of buying insurance, thus making it easy and transparent for consumers.(7) Consumers appreciate it and are taking notice. As an example, Lemonade Insurance, in just 4 years, signed up 4 million active customers—an accomplishment that took some legacy insurance companies decades to accomplish.(
Ford says that InsurTech can help insurers and reinsurers develop, design and deploy bespoke insurance products that fit consumers' needs, boost a company's bottom line and give agents more products to offer consumers. He says life insurance policies are a good example of how the current system is broken and losing potential clients.
"Most life insurance companies take seven factors into account when determining a person's policy and people with conditions such as diabetes may not be able to get life insurance at all, that is 60% of the U.S. population," said Ford. "But when we use more data to develop policies and combine that with machine learning, you can create a range to develop new policy spectrums so that if someone has a pre-existing condition, they are not rejected but put into a different class which will help companies profitably reach new audiences."

Award-winning coffee roaster Crimson Cup Coffee and Tea helped 19 new coffee shops in eight states open in 2020. Overall, the company has helped over 150 coffee shops in 30 states open through its 7 Steps to Success coffee shop franchise alternative, with at least 15 more openings planned in 2021.

COLUMBUS, OHIO (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2021
The pandemic turned 2020 into an uncertain year for many businesses. But against all odds, 19 entrepreneurs in eight states fulfilled their dreams of opening a coffee shop with the help of nationally renowned coffee roaster Crimson Cup Coffee & Tea.
Six of the new coffee shops were the second or third locations for their owners.
"Kudos to the new coffee shop owners who refused to let the pandemic stop them from opening their businesses," said Crimson Cup Founder and President Greg Ubert. "I am impressed by their courage, creativity, and sheer perseverance.
"Owners who opened their second or third location during the pandemic show that specialty coffee shops can remain profitable and grow even during a recession."
Some owners said they would not have been able to open without the help of Crimson Cup's 7 Steps to Success coffee franchise alternative.
"Hands down the best decision we made was going with Crimson Cup," said Angel Gordon, owner of Ivory Bean Coffee House. "Doing this on our own, I don't think we'd be sitting here right now."
Angel Becker, co-owner and manager of Kahvi Coffee House + Cafe, said Crimson Cup's one-stop-shop approach, including equipment and initial inventory, gave her the self-assurance she needed.
"If we didn't have Crimson Cup, I don't think we could have made the leap to do this," she said. "It would have been overwhelming."
Many of the new owners had zero experience with specialty coffee. They learned how to open a coffee shop through Crimson Cup's 7 Steps program.
Based on Ubert's Book, Seven Steps to Success: a Commonsense Guide to Succeed in Specialty Coffee, the 7 Steps program has helped hundreds of independent coffee shops in 30 states become thriving businesses.
"We believe that our company only succeeds when our customers do," Ubert said. "As a result, Crimson Cup supports coffee shop owners at every step – from scouting a great location and writing a coffee shop business plan to planning a menu, choosing equipment, hiring staff and providing comprehensive training."
Unlike coffee franchises, Crimson Cup allows entrepreneurs to call the shots as they build their businesses.
Each of the 19 new coffee shops is as unique as its owners and their communities. They include:

Adam's Flying Pig Coffee House in Wheelersburg, Ohio

Coffee Jerks Deer Creek in Deer Creek, Oklahoma

Coffee Jerks Uptown in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Common Ground Coffee Bar in Oxford, Missouri

Cups of Joy in Wilson, North Carolina

Germania Brew Haus in Godfrey, Illinois

Hawthorn Tree Bakery in Carlinville, Illinois

Higher Groundz Coffee & Tea in Maryland Heights, Missouri

Ivory Bean Coffee House in Shelby, Ohio

Kahvi Coffee House + Café in Eau Claire, Eau Claire, Wisconsin

Matter More Coffee House in Hampstead, North Carolina

Orange Couch Coffee House in Eureka, Missouri

Oxford Gourmet & Gifts in Oxford, Mississippi

Rare Bird Emporium in Murphy, North Carolina

Rise & Dine in Crescent, Oklahoma

Sweeten Creek Coffee House in Ashville, North Carolina

Winston's Coffee & Waffles food truck in the Columbus suburb of Clintonville, Ohio

"From the name on the door to the location, menu, decor and other features, the owners put their stamp on businesses that reflects their individual tastes and the needs of their local communities," Ubert said.
"Crimson Cup acts as a coffee partner for our customers," he added. "We don't charge franchise fees or royalties. In fact, we don't even make customers sign long-term contracts."
7 Steps Sales Leader Scott Fullerton is the initial contact for all new coffee shop owners.
"If you've ever dreamed about opening a coffee house, I'd love to help you get started," Fullerton said. "We've helped hundreds of entrepreneurs take the leap from dreaming about a coffee shop to opening their doors. Chances are, we can help you!"
Reach Fullerton by emailing sfullerton@crimsoncup.com or by calling 1.888.800.9224.
