LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2021
The Three Regrets: Inspirational Stories and Practical Advice for Love and Forgiveness at Life's End, a guide to approaching the end of life with clarity is available for sale in the U.S. today. Written by hospice chaplain and former Buddhist nun Tenzin Kiyosaki, the book, which is based on Kiyosaki's two decades of experience as a spiritual care counselor in hospice and palliative care, explores the three common regrets that make it difficult to accept life's end -- not living one's dreams, not sharing love and not forgiving -- and provides meaningful guidance on making the most out of every day that we have.
Written to resonate with readers at all stages in life, The Three Regrets is informed by the end-of-life reflections, decisions, and wishes of thousands of people across a myriad of different circumstances. The book blends inspirational stories with constructive exercises to help readers honestly reflect on their lives and meet the end with a clean heart, clear conscience, and without regret -- be it in one day or 50 years.
"I wrote The Three Regrets to create a tool to help clean up regrets, settle unresolved issues with loved ones, and set themselves up for a peaceful life," said Tenzin Kiyosaki. "The Three Regrets offers an easy way to begin discussing what is important by engaging and recounting life's shared adventures and indelible moments, appreciating others, and normalizing death as a part of life."
In addition to her book, Kiyosaki will also be hosting a free virtual workshop, How to Live Without Regrets, to help participants address some of life's toughest topics and live every day more fully. All are invited to participate in the interactive webinar on March 19th, 2021 at 9:30 a.m. PST.
"Tenzin applies timeless wisdom drawn from Buddhist teachings to complex experiences of illness in the real world of health care today," said Ira Byock, MD, Author of Dying Well And The Best Possible Care, and Active Emeritus Professor of Medicine at The Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. "Three Regrets is a gem that transcends both hospice and chaplaincy."
The Three Regrets is offered by Plata Publishing and autographed copies are available at TheThreeRegrets.com. The book is also available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million (BAM!), IndieBound, and wherever books are sold. Learn more at Tenzin's website, TheThreeRegrets.com.

Prior to this, she was the Buddhist Chaplain at the US Air Force Academy for six years. She was ordained by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and practiced as a Buddhist nun for 27 years residing in India and the USA.

Jamboree Housing Corporation announces construction on new 65-unit affordable housing community in San Ysidro, permanent supportive housing for formerly homeless individuals and their families, and those living with a mental illness in San Diego County. The nonprofit developer's first new construction development in the County of San Diego adds to its existing affordable housing in other areas of the county and reflects Jamboree's collaborative approach to create more permanent housing with supportive services.

SAN YSIDRO, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2021
Jamboree Housing Corporation announced today that construction has begun on a 65-unit supportive housing community in San Ysidro, a district of the City of San Diego, located immediately north of the U.S.-Mexico border. This is Jamboree's first new construction development in the County of San Diego and adds to the nonprofit developer's existing affordable housing in other areas of the county. San Ysidro Permanent Supportive Housing (San Ysidro PSH), the working name for the development, reflects Jamboree's collaborative approach to create more permanent housing with supportive services. For the City of San Diego, this development reflects its investment in new housing and service options as part of its Community Action Plan on Homelessness.
Supportive housing is a nationally recognized best practice in permanently ending homelessness. It's a housing model that's proven especially effective in stabilizing those experiencing homelessness who are also living with a mental health diagnosis. In fact, according to the 2017 Point in Time count, 39% of San Diego County's homeless population has a reported mental health diagnosis. Given that, San Ysidro PSH will provide the dignity of home to dozens of vulnerable families and individuals. "Jamboree is committed to providing proven solutions to chronic homelessness," said Vicky Rodriguez, Jamboree's Vice President of Housing Development. "We work with local municipalities to creatively leverage scarce local resources that produce high-quality housing opportunities and access to supportive services that allow chronically homeless people to rebuild their lives. In a little over a year, San Ysidro PSH will become a physical manifestation of that commitment and creativity."
San Ysidro PSH builds upon Jamboree's expertise in permanent supportive housing development, a unique process which includes stakeholder and community input. Jamboree is working closely with the San Ysidro Community Planning Group (SYCPG) to ensure that the development fits into the wider community vision for the diverse, working-class neighborhood. After consulting with local neighborhood organizations, Jamboree has altered the design plan for the development and increased the number of two- and three-bedrooms apartments. This community-driven design change equates to more homes for families, a population of particular concern to the SYCPG, at the new community when leasing begins in the third quarter of 2022. "Jamboree's approach to supportive housing is what makes our communities successful in the long-term," said Laura Archuleta, Jamboree President and CEO. "We build alongside the community, ensuring that the final development serves the neighborhood in a multitude of significant ways." The widespread community support for the development is reflected in the SYCPG's unanimous support of San Ysidro PSH during the design and financing stages with both the City and County of San Diego as well as the San Diego Housing Commission (SDHC).
"The addition of new permanent supportive housing units throughout the City of San Diego, including San Ysidro, is essential to the long-term, collaborative efforts to address homelessness," said SDHC President & CEO Richard C. Gentry, who also serves on the Leadership Council for the Community Action Plan on Homelessness. "The San Diego Housing Commission is pleased to be working with Jamboree on this development and looks forward to future opportunities to collaborate to create more housing opportunities."
The City of San Diego Community Action Plan on Homelessness recommends 5,416 permanent supportive housing units over the span of 10 years. Jamboree's new development furthers this objective, with local support critical to Jamboree's ability to successfully secure multiple local funding sources. In turn, these funding sources made the overall development more competitive for 9% Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) at the state level. In addition, SDHC awarded a loan of $4.2 million to support this development as well as federal rental housing vouchers to assist residents in paying their rents. Moreover, San Ysidro PSH's 65 affordable apartments are among housing solutions being created through HOUSING FIRST-SAN DIEGO, SDHC's homelessness action plan, a diverse funding and housing strategy that has created thousands of housing solutions in the last six years for San Diegans experiencing homelessness.
San Ysidro PSH will serve households who earn no more than 30% of the Area Median Income (AMI). Twenty-five of the units will be set aside to serve No Place Like Home (NPLH) clients through the County's Continuum of Care system. It transforms a 1.75-acre lot – that previously housed two 1930s single-family dwellings – into a three- and four-story development with elevator-equipped residential space and opens onto an outdoor courtyard with nearly 2,500 square feet of open space. The property will include a 1,500-square-foot community center with a conference room, resident lounge, and counseling offices that will house onsite supportive services.
The San Ysidro PSH site was chosen, in part, because of its proximity to existing community services – a medical clinic, library, and public transportation are located within a mile of the future supportive housing community. Jamboree will oversee the delivery of supportive services provided by Step Up on Second, a long-time service partner that specializes in supportive housing services, including for people living with a mental illness. "Step Up on Second is proud to partner with Jamboree, once again, on a transformative supportive housing development," said Tod Lipka, CEO of Step Up on Second. "We'll provide supportive services for the residents living at San Ysidro PSH as well as for the surrounding community, helping to leverage some of the great local resources that already exist in this neighborhood."
In Jamboree's ongoing commitment to sustainability, the development is designed to achieve a LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) for Homes-certified Silver rating. This lowers energy consumption, providing a cost-saving benefit to residents, and promoting overall community health. In response to local concerns voiced about safety and security, Jamboree will incorporate surveillance and fob-restricted entry into the design of the community. The newly constructed apartments will be fully furnished and, upon move-in, will include a home starter kit of household essentials for residents, including linens, kitchen supplies, cleaning products, and other necessities.
Financing for the $33.7-million development consists of a $4.2 loan from SDHC; a $5.5 million NPLH and $895,715 Innovative Housing Trust Fund (IHTF) allocation from the County of San Diego; $15.4 million in tax credit equity provided by Red Stone Equity Partners; $19 million in construction financing, and $7.1 million in permanent financing from Banner Bank. The SDHC's loan for this development consists of local and federal funds SDHC administers, including HOME Investments Partnerships Grant (HOME) funds the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provided to the City of San Diego and the City's Affordable Housing Fund.

Tiffin Metal Products announces the sale of its Outdoor Advertising Products Division to Formetco, Inc. of Duluth, GA. Tiffin will transfer the production of Outdoor Advertising products to Formetco. The deal officially closed on March 8, 2021.

TIFFIN, OHIO (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2021
Tiffin Metal Products announces the sale of its Outdoor Advertising Products Division to Formetco, Inc. of Duluth, GA. Tiffin will transfer the production of Outdoor Advertising products to Formetco. The deal officially closed on March 8, 2021.
Both parties' sales and engineering departments are working together to ensure a seamless transition with products manufactured according to Tiffin's standards. Customers will have the exact same products with expert service from Formetco.
"We wanted to ensure our billboard clients continued to have access to our products and replacement parts into the future. The logical choice was to reach out to the industry's largest full-service supplier, Formetco. We're happy for our clients and for the Outdoor Advertising Industry that Formetco will carry on the Tiffin product line," commented Matt Dysard, CEO of Tiffin Metal Products.
Formetco and Tiffin have been competing in the Outdoor Advertising industry for over 50 years. When asked about how the two came together for this purchase, Matt Xander, CEO of Formetco said, "Tiffin has been in the industry for almost a century. We were honored when they approached us about purchasing their billboard products division."
After 93 years of manufacturing innovative billboard products, Tiffin Metal Products Co. will now shift its attention to the global sales of their lines of material handling systems and lockers. The Material Handling division has seen such rapid growth that they added a 30,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Schmitten, Switzerland. Shortly thereafter, they announced a 74,000 square foot expansion in Tiffin, Ohio to keep up with demand.
"Converting our existing billboard manufacturing operations was necessary to accommodate growth. While we are excited about the direction we are headed, we've made a lot of great relationships over the years and our immediate focus is making sure our customers' needs are being met," further remarked Dysard.

Startup's founder debunks the popular theory that human audiences have shorter attention spans than goldfish.

TAMPA, FLA. (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2021
ContentOvation, a B2B content marketing agency, officially launched its services today. The startup is founded upon and committed to the contrarian principle that audiences will engage with high-quality content for longer than it takes to read 140 characters.
Most content marketers, however, generally subscribe to theories about "the attention economy," often citing data such as a LinkedIn report that finds there are 4.6 billion pieces of content created every day, or an oft-cited Microsoft study claiming the average human attention span has shrunk to eight seconds, one second shorter than that of a goldfish.
"I don't know about that," chuckles Jamie Green, founder and president of ContentOvation. "I don't even know how you measure a fish's attention span. What I do know for certain is that there is a deep need among B2B audiences for compelling and engaging content that informs and guides purchase decisions."
Green has extensive experience building and engaging B2B audiences, having been the content architect behind sites such as PropertyCasualty360.com, ThinkAdvisor.com, BenefitsPro.com, and several others.
"I've helped to build the largest sites in the insurance, financial services, and employee benefits industries," continues Green. "I know from experience there is a high demand in B2B sales channels for content that is credible, helpful, and relevant."
As a content marketing agency specializing in B2B, ContentOvation helps brands define themselves, communicate their unique brand identities, and earn trust among customers and channel partners to build a loyal audience and, in the process, grow their bottom lines.
"Your customers identify with your brand identity through your content, provided that content is relevant and engaging," says Green. "And when you attract an audience with content that properly reflects your brand identity and builds trust among that audience, you hedge against a future that is uncertain and a business landscape that is always shifting below your feet."

ABOUT CONTENTOVATION: ContentOvation arms companies with exceptional content strategically deployed to attract and engage their target audience. We are a B2B content marketing agency founded by passionate, award-winning journalists, who are experts in their niche industries. We use the powers of storytelling to help brands build loyalty among their customers and channel partners, attract and engage new customers, and differentiate themselves from their competition.

The world's largest swim school franchise opens 8,140 square foot, state-of-the-art swim school in Tustin, California.

MESA, ARIZ. (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2021
Aqua-Tots Swim Schools has announced the opening of its 120th worldwide location. Located off Irvine Boulevard in the Tustin Heights Shopping Center. Aqua-Tots Tustin officially opened their doors on Wednesday, March 10, 2021.
Aqua-Tots Swim Schools has been the leader in the swim instruction industry since 1991, offering comprehensive swim curriculum for children as early as four months old. With locations in 14 countries, families all over the world can experience the dedicated, year-round, indoor swim facilities where their children can become safe and confident swimmers by completing the proven Aqua-Tots curriculum.
The expansive 8,140 sq. foot Tustin swim school is the third Aqua-Tots location for franchise owners, Caroline Carlson, Clint Mansour and siblings Annette, Brian, JR and Patrick Tomina and the fifth overall Southern California location for Aqua-Tots Swim Schools. Aqua-Tots Tustin is ready to welcome families in Tustin, Orange, Santa Ana, Irvine and Villa Park.
"Being around water is a way of life in Southern California," said Franchise Owner Caroline Carlson. "That is why we strive to create safe, confident swimmers for the families in our community. We pride ourselves on our dedicated, detailed and proven methods in our 8-level swim program that will help teach lifelong water safety skills for children of all ages."
According to the National Institutes of Health, "Participation in formal swim lessons reduces the risk of drowning by 88% among children ages one to four years old." That's an encouraging reality since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that drowning is the leading cause of unintentional, injury-related death among children in the same age group.
Aqua-Tots Tustin is committed to keeping families safe and healthy and has implemented the Aqua-Tots Full Circle of Safety to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in their swim school. These procedures focus on a modified swim school environment for the health of their families and staff, safety of their lessons and cleanliness of their facility. Preventative measures include social distancing in the lobby, hand sanitizer stations, enhanced cleaning procedures and masks for swim school staff.
A properly maintained and sanitized pool is still considered a safe environment for children and families. The latest information from the CDC states that, "The CDC is not aware of any scientific reports of the virus that causes COVID-19 spreading to people through the water in pools, hot tubs, or water playgrounds. Plus, proper operation of public pools, hot tubs, and water playgrounds (such as at an apartment complex or owned by a community) and disinfection of the water (with chlorine or bromine) should inactivate the virus." The Aqua-Tots pool contains a commercial sanitation and filtration system which maintains the proper chlorinated levels.
"This past year reminded all of us the importance of safety, and that includes year-round water safety," said Carlson. "We want to help our families feel as safe and comfortable as possible at our location."
Aqua-Tots Tustin is open Monday through Saturday and is offering a free In-Water Evaluation to all new families. Reserve a spot in small group (4:1 ratio) or semi-private (2:1 ratio) lessons before classes fill up. Aqua-Tots Tustin also features the Special Needs Aquatic Program (S.N.A.P.), which tailors lessons to each child's special needs and abilities, and Fast Track, which serves as a jumpstart to lessons.
Aqua-Tots Tustin is now hiring swim instructors, and those interested can email their resume to tustininfo@aqua-tots.com. To learn more, sign up for a free In-Water Evaluation or register for swim lessons, please visit aqua-tots.com/tustin or call (714) 613-8700.
About Aqua-Tots Swim Schools
Aqua-Tots Swim Schools serves over 115 communities worldwide, offering dedicated, year-round, indoor swim instruction, community outreach and drowning prevention education to children of all abilities from four months to 12 years old. As the world's largest swim school franchise, their hand-selected instructors are passionate about teaching children how to remain safer in and around the water, using tried and true curriculum, 30 years in the making and trusted worldwide to teach four million swim lessons annually.

Arbor Financial Group Recognizes Diverse Industry Leaders Who Continue to Achieve Entrepreneur Excellence

SANTA ANA, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2021
Women have paved the way in finance since the late 1800's with Louise M. Weiser serving as bank president in Vermont, 1875. The women at Arbor Financial Group are continuing the tradition. Over 44% who work at Arbor are women. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics women represent over 57% in the banking industry, including women tellers, loan officers and more. Arbor is proud of the unique backgrounds that its loan originators bring. The women of Arbor have and continue to make contributions to the industry and the community. Each of the featured Senior Loan Advisors have been in mortgage for almost two decades and they continue to be driving forces in the company as well as their communities.
Julie Aragon, one of Arbor's Los Angeles, CA based Sr. Loan Advisors, fell in love with the mortgage industry shortly after college. Julie's focus is on her clients and her community. An avid dog-lover Julie is a loyal supporter of The Little Red Dog , K-9 Connection and the annual Strut Your Mutt charity event. Julie and her team are passionate about giving back to Veterans as well. According to Julie, "It's all about my clients and giving back to the community. I don't work for a bank. I work for my clients. As long as I have my phone and computer, I can do my job anywhere."
Angela Comstock began her career as a processor and is now a Sr. Loan Advisor in Los Alamitos, CA. Angela started with the big banks and struggled whether to stay in the industry because of its focus on the banks' needs versus the customers' needs. "Working at Arbor I have the freedom to put my clients' interests first. I invest in my clients' journeys and every client is special to me. I appreciate the investment they made in me." When asked what advise she had for others coming into the industry, she said, "This is not a world where you have a glass ceiling. It is what you make it. When I started it was definitely a male-dominated industry, but I never felt like my opportunities were not there because of gender." Angela regularly donates to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, The Chill Foundation and volunteers at the Los Alamitos High School Note-Ables Booster Club.
Momi Pointer has lived in Orange County, CA for over two decades and started in wholesale mortgage lending. She later became an independent loan processor for several broker offices and found her true calling as a Sr. Loan Advisor, catering to both traditional and reverse mortgages. She is passionate and committed to both her family and her clients. Momi believes "Homeownership should be fun where memories are built with laughter and love." Momi continued, "It's about relationships. I give trusted advice and make the process fun for my clients. My main mission is to make my clients homeowners. But what I really do is put the fun back in funding." Her passion for her clients is what brought her to Arbor. She adds, "Arbor has some of the best rates in the industry. It feels good to offer a low rate to my client and be more competitive than I was in the retail market."
Continuing with the women of Arbor, the company is pleased to announce Mary Caoile as their new Chief Marketing Officer heading its all-women marketing team. Mary has been in the mortgage industry since 2003. Her strategic insight has launched many innovative solutions in both the B2B and B2C markets. She is a market leader with broad expertise, a collaborative style and tenacity whose visionary leadership has been recognized for delivering exceptional results in the mortgage industry.
Each of these women and the others who work at Arbor leverage unique perspectives in the industry and the company is honored to recognize their achievements.

With gains of product, engineering, software and sales assets from Hadley, Link exponentially expands its capabilities in the advanced suspension control segment, positioning itself for future innovation and growth.

SIOUX CENTER, IOWA (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2021
Link Mfg., Ltd., the leader in specialty-engineered suspensions, announced that it has finalized an agreement acquiring valve and suspension control product lines and related expertise from Hadley Products Corp. A manufacturer and supplier to commercial truck, bus, RV, military and specialty vehicle markets since the 1940s, Hadley's well-known brands include its award-winning SmartValve Electronic Height Control System and Smart Air Management System (SAMS).
As part of Link's investment, several key staff will be transitioning from Hadley to the Link team. Link will also obtain the rights to Hadley's dynamic air suspension control technology that improves aerodynamics, reduces rolling resistance and increases tractive performance by precisely balancing a vehicle's weight at speed. Hadley's entire portfolio of legacy mechanical height control valve business is also being procured by Link in the transaction.
"Link's strategy to bring revolutionary suspension control technology to market has been in progress for several years now, and this acquisition significantly expands our offering, broadens our sector penetration and will accelerate not only our development of new innovations, but will enhance our electrical engineering and software development capabilities," said Jim Huls, president of Link Manufacturing. "We've had a long-standing, collaborative relationship with Hadley. We know their products and capabilities well, and have formed time-tested professional relationships with those who are joining the Link Family."
The move accelerates Link's expansion into the suspension control segment of the heavy truck market, increasing its synergistic influence on cab and chassis suspensions and extending its reach firmly into the trailer side of the marketplace. Overall, commercial vehicle suspension controls affect handling characteristics, the safety and comfort of drivers, and the protection of cargo.
With the 2019 introduction of its ROI Cabmate Suspension, Link had already emerged as the leading innovator in dynamic suspension damping for class 8 tractor cabs. Now, armed with Hadley's mechanically and electronically controlled air suspension technology, Link will be an undisputed force in driver-focused safety, fuel efficiency and load management solutions as well.
"The whole of this acquisition is worth far more than the sum of its parts, and leverages a long-term relationship forged between Hadley and Link that is more than 35 years in the making," said Jim Fitzell, president and CEO of Hadley Products Corp. "With electronic valve and controls expertise from Hadley, coupled with smart suspension damping expertise from Link, customers will enjoy the best of both worlds."
One of the most significant components of the acquisition is the enhanced control system capability being secured by Link. In their previous work with major truck and trailer OEMs, Hadley's engineers have been key development partners in CAN bus system integration, using ISO 26262 compliance standards. Their experience and the proprietary firmware developed to interface with OEMs will benefit Link as the company seeks broader and deeper production integration with manufacturers in the future.
The newly acquired programming dexterity enhances Link's existing capabilities, enabling it to deliver suspension control technologies that are hardened to meet today's and tomorrow's cybersecurity demands. And as new, advanced electric vehicles are being planned, Link is well positioned to provide smarter air management systems that minimize compressor run times, thus conserving commercial EVs critical energy.
"Much like Link, Hadley has built a reputation for dependability, collaboration and responsiveness among its customers and within the commercial vehicle industry," Huls said. "We sincerely value what Hadley has achieved and intend to enhance value to the marketplace through our broader array of suspension, suspension control and specialty products, and through the capabilities of our talented team."

Hempvana releases highly portable and effective pain relief device with TENS technology.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) MARCH 09, 2021
Leading Hemp Brand, Hempvana, recently debuted the Rocket Relief Pen. This highly portable product utilizes TENS technology to provide substantive pain relief without expensive doctor visits or cumbersome wires and pads. When used in concert with Hempvana's hemp-infused pain relief creams, customers can expect to experience fast and effective pain relief wherever they may need it.
TENS stands for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator. TENS devices send electrical pulses through the skin, releasing endorphins and other chemicals to block pain signals in the brain. Many doctors and physical therapists utilize TENS technology because it is renowned for temporarily relieving aches and sores. While TENS technology is widely recognized for its benefits and effectiveness, the Rocket Relief Pen is one of the first TENS therapy devices that is entirely wireless and small enough to fit in a pocket. This new device from Hempvana delivers a visible pulsing twitch and features nine levels of adjustable intensity so users can get the exact level of pain relief they need whenever and wherever.
Founded in 2018, Hempvana is a family-run company based in the USA. They were tired of compromising when it came to pain relief. Fibromyalgia, arthritis, severe back pain, and multiple biking and skiing injuries were just some of the issues they grappled with over the years. After several iterations of product formulas, testing, and trials, Hempvana is confident they have developed a premium line of pain relief products. This diverse line of products harnesses the latest scientific advancements and natural remedies utilized for pain treatment in the home for centuries.
The Rocket Relief Pen is also available as a package deal with two pens and a jar of Hempvana's maximum strength Pain Relief Cream with hemp seed extract. To learn more about the Rocket Relief Pen and the rest of Hempvana's pain relief products, interested consumers can visit https://hempvana.com/.
At Hempväna, we believe that you should not have to compromise. Our team works tirelessly to provide you with premium products, combining the nutrients of nature with the strength of science in order to help you feel your best.

STUTTGART, GERMANY (PRWEB) MARCH 09, 2021
NerdVision has released a new integration on the Datadog Marketplace to help developers accelerate development and simplify live application debugging.
Developers and IT professionals often struggle to recreate production issues in dev environments at the cost of eating error budget and risking greater service downtime. With shorter development release cycles and growing complexity, the chances of a production outage increase. Organizations must react quickly to identify code-level issues before their customers are impacted. Nerdvison's solution aims to speed up the debugging process by allowing developers to set breakpoints and send log events that represent the state of production code without the need for code changes, restarts, or redeployments.
Together with Datadog, the NerdVision integration allows companies to capture NerdVision debugging events inside the Datadog monitoring and security platform, where customers can correlate these events with Datadog's metrics, traces, logs and alerts across their applications, infrastructure, and third-party services. Paired with Datadog's dashboards and analytics tools, application and DevOps teams can use NerdVision to pinpoint code-level issues without halting the execution of live applications, helping to mitigate critical outages, and providing customers with a better user experience.
"As a Datadog Technology Partner, we have enjoyed working closely with the Datadog team to bring the capabilities of NerdVision inside the Datadog platform," said Darren Pywell, CTO at NerdVision. "In combination with the analytics tools from Datadog, our Marketplace offering allows the user to view the number of tracepoints being triggered, to identify hotspots of debugging activity."
"Datadog customers rely on the telemetry we provide to identify performance bottlenecks," said Ilan Rabinovitch, Vice President, Product and Community at Datadog. "Nerdvision lets customers dynamically insert instrumentation at runtime, allowing them to send new metrics, logs, and events to Datadog to describe transient problems that can be hard to reproduce. We're excited for NerdVision's live debugging tool to be available on the Datadog Marketplace today."
Intergral GmbH is a technology company based in Stuttgart, Germany, founded in 1998, specializing in developing and implementing high-performance monitoring and data analysis solutions. With implementation and development experience ranging from SMEs to Fortune 100 companies and government agencies.

Future Method Named to Fast Company's Annual List of the World's Most Innovative Companies for 2021. Science-based sex care brand among top-ranked in the Wellness category.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) MARCH 09, 2021
Future Method has been named to Fast Company's prestigious annual list of the World's Most Innovative Companies for 2021.
The list honors the businesses that have not only found a way to be resilient in the past year, but also turned those challenges into impact-making processes. These companies did more than survive, they thrived—making an impact on their industries and culture as a whole. This year's MIC list features 463 businesses from 29 countries.
"We're thrilled to be recognized by the editors of Fast Company as one of the World's Most Innovative Companies," said Dr. Evan Goldstein, Future Method's Co-Founder. "This award will bring us greater visibility from a wider audience and shows that it's time to be candid about sex. We've been working hard to create products that support safe, healthy and judgement-free sex for everyone, and educating the consumer on how to prepare and care for themselves is an important part of that."
While 2020 was challenging for everyone, a positive development has been the increase in frank conversations about sex and diminishing stigma surrounding anal engagement for everyone. Future Method has helped lead the conversation about preparing for – and care after – sex since the brand launched the Future Method Intimate Wash in 2019. The brand's second product, Butt & Body Scrub launched in June 2020 and almost immediately sold out. Most recently – in March 2021 – the brand introduced a new after-care product, Butt & Body Soothing Cream, specifically designed for post-sex care. Future Method holds a unique position in the sex care category, and the brand will continue to pioneer and expand with innovative, science-backed products.
Fast Company's editors and writers sought out the most groundbreaking businesses across the globe and industries. They also judged nominations received through their application process.
The World's Most Innovative Companies is Fast Company's signature franchise and one of its most highly anticipated editorial efforts of the year. It provides both a snapshot and a road map for the future of innovation across the most dynamic sectors of the economy.
"In a year of unprecedented challenges, the companies on this list exhibit fearlessness, ingenuity, and creativity in the face of crisis," said Fast Company Deputy Editor David Lidsky, who oversaw the issue with Senior Editor Amy Farley.
To coincide with the issue launch, Fast Company will host its first-ever Most Innovative Companies Summit on March 9th and 10th. This virtual, multiday summit will celebrate the Most Innovative Companies in business, provide an early look at major business trends, and offer the inspiration and practical insights on what it takes to innovate in 2021. Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies issue (March/April 2021) is now available online here as well as in app form via iTunes and on newsstands beginning March 16, 2021. The hashtag is #FCMostInnovative.
ABOUT FUTURE METHOD

Pioneer Institute report finds that revenue from a similar tax in California was diverted to the general fund, ballooning state employee payroll

BOSTON (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2021
Advocates claim a proposed 4 percent surtax on high earners will raise nearly $2 billion per year for education and transportation, but similar tax hikes in other states resulted in highly discretionary rather than targeted spending, according to a new policy brief published by Pioneer Institute. That same result or worse is possible in Massachusetts because during the 2019 constitutional convention state legislators rejected — not just one, but two — proposed amendments requiring that the new revenues be directed to these purposes.
After a 2012 tax hike in California aimed to increase education investments, the state legislature dedicated little more than the minimum required by law to education and redirected the majority of the funds to general government operations. The result was a soaring state payroll.
"The Massachusetts surtax doesn't actually require that the legislature increase spending on education and transportation," said Greg Sullivan, who co-authored Lessons for Massachusetts from California's "blank check" tax on high earners with Andrew Mikula. "In California, a separate amendment to that state's constitution required that at least 40 percent be spent on education. There is no such requirement in Massachusetts, meaning overall state education and transportation funding is likely to remain essentially flat under the surtax, and could even decline."
In November 2012, California voters adopted Proposition 30, an income tax hike on high earners, the revenue from which was to be dedicated to K-12 education and community colleges. But since it was adopted, annual funding for those purposes has exceeded California's pre-existing constitutional minimum funding requirement by less than one-tenth of one percent. Over that same period, the number of teachers in the state increased by just a fraction of a percentage point.
When the proposed graduated surtax proposal came before the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) in 2018, the late Chief Justice Ralph Gants asked counsel for the state Attorney General whether it was correct that passage of the income tax hike "may or may not result in any increase in transportation or education spending." Counsel responded that the Chief Justice's understanding was correct.
The Massachusetts Attorney General's counsel submitted a brief to the SJC in 2018 stating that "the Legislature could choose to reduce funding in specified budget categories from other sources and replace it with the new surtax revenue." In its decision, the court added, "We are not entirely unaware of the possibility that, as the plaintiffs argue, funding for education and transportation were added to the initiative petition as a means to "sweeten the pot" for voters."
"This is exactly the flaw that was revealed when the SJC took up a similar proposal in 2018, and both the Attorney General's Office and the late Chief Justice Ralph Gants pointed out that the measure doesn't actually require any increase in education and transportation spending," said Kevin Martin, the lead attorney in the 2018 case. "There's no reason to believe what happened in California won't happen in Massachusetts."
At the June 2019 constitutional convention, two amendments (H86-1 and H86-11) sought to require that new surtax revenues go to education and transportation. They were rejected handily by state legislators, 40-156 and 39-154, respectively.
"The rejection of these amendments leaves Massachusetts without even the minimum funding requirements California has in place," noted Pioneer Institute executive director Jim Stergios. "Through their votes, the legislature expressed very clearly that they intend to put the money into the General Fund. It's the equivalent of a blank check."
The California state payroll was a major beneficiary of the funds diverted from K-12 education and community colleges. According to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, while the number of state employees in Massachusetts increased by 0.3 percent from fiscal 2013 through fiscal 2019, and by an average of 1.8 percent in the other 48 states, the number of state employees in California jumped 10.6 percent.
Over the same period, state payroll spending rose 24 percent in Massachusetts, which was in line with a 24.4 percent average in the 48 other states. But over that time California's payroll spending increased by 50.3 percent.

More Americans are seeking information on cheap overseas dream homes, report the go-abroad experts at International Living. According to the editors, greater work-from-anywhere flexibility has motivated some people to seek out a lower-cost base to call home. Others are seeking good-value investments outside the dollar and outside stocks and bonds. Still others are looking for a lower-cost, higher quality of life overseas—whether for a part-time getaway or a full-time escape. International Living shares stories from expats who have moved abroad to find their own overseas "dream" homes in Europe, Latin America, and Southeast Asia.

BALTIMORE (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2021
More Americans are taking notice of the great bargains to be had on real estate overseas, report the editors at International Living.
With greater work-from-anywhere flexibility, some are seeking a good-value overseas escape where they could base themselves.
Others seek an investment outside the dollar, outside stocks, and bonds—as a way to bring greater diversification to their portfolios.
Still others are looking for good-value overseas real estate for the lifestyle play—they want to go someplace warm and interesting where costs are low and the quality of life is high.
Media coverage of one-euro homes for sale in Italy has surely helped to pique people's interest in the possibilities abroad,
The Instagram account, YourCheapDreamHome, created less than a year ago by Ronan McMahon, International Living's global real estate expert—today boasts a significant 250,000 followers.
On the International Living website, editors report traffic to its real estate-related web pages is up across the board when compared to 2020. Most notable is a 764% spike in traffic to IL's The Best Places to Invest in Real Estate content, when compared to last year's figures.
"Clearly, word is getting out about the values it's possible to find overseas—in the right spots," says Jennifer Stevens, Executive Editor, International Living. "In some locales, real estate agents report that buyers are snapping up properties, sight unseen."   
"In the US, real estate is relatively expensive. But take $60,000-$175,000 to the right spots overseas, and you may be pleasantly surprised by what you can afford. All of a sudden, your options expand.
"It might be a beautifully renovated stone village home in Tuscany, Italy for $85,000 or a completely redone cottage on the Greek island of Lesbos for just $77,193. On Roatan in the Caribbean, you could pick up a renovated, furnished place with a pool right now for as little as $155,000.
"People always assume that only the rich and famous can afford homes abroad. But it's much more accessible than most folks realize," Stevens says.
"And the benefits of owning property abroad can go beyond simply having a low-cost retreat to enjoy a few weeks or months a year, or even full-time."
According to Ronan McMahon, author of International Living's new report, The 15 Best Places to Invest in Real Estate in 2021, holding real estate overseas can offer sound investment benefits as well.
"Overseas real estate can generate income. And it's not subject to the same rapid and wild fluctuations as other asset classes," McMahon argues.
"Real estate is one of the very best ways to protect your wealth from inflation. It's the ultimate hard asset and often sees its greatest price appreciation during periods of high inflation. In the right places overseas, by owning property you gain much greater upside exposure in markets that have decades of growth ahead."
Expats based overseas attest to the extraordinary values it's possible to find on real estate in their adopted countries.
A House in Italy For Less Than a New Car
Back in 2006, Valerie Fortney-Schneider and her husband, Bryan, bought a 300-year-old home in the village of Trivigno for just $44,000.
With property bargains like that on offer, it's little wonder that IL Italy Correspondent Valerie's sister, Cara, followed suit and snapped up a home in the same village in 2019.
But it wasn't until she was paging through her local newspaper with its bundle of new car ads that it really hit home. "Every new car listed cost more than what I paid for my house," she said. "Even the budget choices!"
With a price tag of €20,000 ($23,700) you'd think it would be in ruins, but the cute, 600 square foot home was in perfect condition, with no work required.
It had a new roof installed just three years prior, and even came partially furnished. The living room has a stone-lined fireplace, and the kitchen was already equipped. A rock-hewn wine cellar gives additional space for storage or, in local style, for entertaining.
It may have been an impulse buy, but Cara jumped on it so as not to lose the chance. "I usually analyze and think through every decision for weeks," she says, "but on this one I gave the okay just a day later. It was too perfect to pass up."
In fact, it posed a better deal than the widely-touted €1 homes that require an investment and patience to make them livable. Certainly, Cara has the advantage of a sister living on-site who told her about the deal, but there are other similar real estate steals on offer around Italy–and not just in the south, either.
A Three-Bedroom, Coastal Community Home for $45,000
Syd Blackwell traveled to Uruguay for the first time in November 2006, to see if they could solve a medical problem for his wife, Gundy. She needed new hips and the waiting times in Canada were too lengthy. They had looked for an international solution and Uruguay seemed to be the answer.
The answers they received in Uruguay were quick and positive. If they wanted to pay for the surgeries, Gundy could have the first one immediately. Alternatively, if they waited until Gundy became a resident of Uruguay, then the surgeries could be done at no cost.
With that good news, they decided to go see a few of the houses they had looked at online.
"The best house we had seen online in a lower price range was located in Villa Argentina, a suburb of the coastal community of Atlántida, about 40 minutes' drive east from Montevideo," says Syd. "The house had three bedrooms, a closed-in barbeque area, carport, secure perimeter walls and fencing, landscaping, and an in-ground swimming pool.
"The $45,000 price tag was irresistible. The following week, we bought the house."
Two weeks after their arrival, Syd and Grundy were on the flight back to the snows of Revelstoke, B.C., Canada, with the realization that they had, de facto, decided to retire and move to Uruguay.
"We have been here for 13 years now. Friends and acquaintances have come and gone, cars and rental houses have been owned and sold, but we are still here. No matter how hasty the decision, there is no more proof that it was the right decision than the years we have been here. We do not plan on living anywhere else.
"Sometimes you just have to go."
Early Retirement and a Three-Bedroom, Ocean-View Home for $105,000
Bonnie Gelley and her husband, Mark, had been living in North Carolina in the years before their move to Ecuador. Mark worked as a project manager with Volvo trucks, and Bonnie had a role as a data manager with local schools.
Neither of them was particularly unhappy with the life they were living, but as they approached their 60s, retirement was something they both thought about a lot.
"We both felt we wanted to retire early. But in the U.S., retiring 'early' meant retiring at 70. That's about as early as we could have managed it there. It's just so expensive to live in the U.S. now. So, we looked elsewhere."
Puerto Cayo, in the Manabí province of the country, checked all the boxes. "It reminds me of how the beach was in Delaware 50 years ago," says Bonnie.
A stroll around the town center or the nearby beachfront promenade reinforces the feeling of unhurried calm that she's referring to. Schoolkids play soccer in the market square, fishermen mend their nets in the shade of palm trees, and the thatched fish restaurants on the sands serve up freshly grilled fillets of tuna for $4 a plate.
Mark and Bonnie's three-bedroom, two-bathroom house, and the land they built it on, and the new pool and garden, cost them $105,000. They share it with their three dogs, Lucy and Stella, who they adopted locally, and Floyd, who flew with them from the U.S.
"The bureaucracy of it all wasn't difficult, really," says Mark. "You just have to factor in the expense when you budget for your move. Buying the house was simple, we gave power of attorney to an in-country lawyer. He did all the paperwork; we transferred the money. Done!
This coastal haven's bright sunshine, lush vegetation, and small-town languor clearly suits the couple, and as Bonnie is keen to point out...anybody can do it.
A Paradise Island Home for $95,000
Jack Taylor, a semi-retired engineer/manager from Calgary, Canada, came to Phuket, Thailand 20 years ago. He'd been working in Jakarta, Indonesia for a while, and first visited on vacation. His next trip was for a medical and dental overhaul, making use of Thailand's top-notch healthcare facilities.
Eventually, Jack's trips to Phuket were happening so often, it made more sense to simply stay. He still works a couple of months each winter in the oil and gas industry around Southeast Asia. The rest of the year, Thailand is home.
Jack, and his wife, Annie, live in a Western-style development, in a side-by-side, two-story condo in Rawai, at the southern tip of Phuket.
"It's got two big bedrooms, another bedroom that I use as an office, a utility room, and two full bathrooms," Jack says. "We bought is six years ago and paid about $95,000. Things are definitely affordable here. I'd say day-to-day expenses cost about two-thirds of what they did in Canada. Beef is expensive, imported goods too, but fish, pork, chicken, vegetables, those are very inexpensive."
Healthcare is another area in which this expat haven excels. "I have nothing but good things to say about the hospitals here," says Jack. "They're world-class. Their equipment is better than in Calgary, but it's not just that. They have a genuine concern for taking care of you. And it's so fast. I had a CT cardiogram three years ago. I was in and out the same afternoon, had my results in three hours. It cost a little less than $400. I've had other treatments too, over the years. I'd say costs are about a quarter of what they'd be in Canada."
The expat population here is thriving, with weekly billiards tournaments, hiking, diving, and a golf scene. "I go sailing with friends three or four times a month," Jack says. "Otherwise, I swim a lot, either in the pool or the sea. I was also very pleasantly surprised by the hiking trails here. You can do so much, every day. There's no excuse not to."

Company also appoints Chris Roberts at Chief Security Strategist who brings ethical hacking and research experience to help organizations put threat protection on autopilot

BOSTON (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2021
Cynet (http://www.cynet.com), provider of the world's first autonomous XDR platform, today announced it has closed a $40 million Series C funding round led by Greenfield Partners with participation from existing investors Norwest Venture Partners, Vintage Investment Partners, BlueRed Partners and Deutsche Telekom. The investment will be used to meet the vigorous demand for Cynet's Autonomous XDR Platform from companies of all sizes, including those with small security teams in need of more holistic and efficient cyber solutions. Following a steep rise in sales in North America during 2020, Cynet is poised to maintain its rapid expansion in the North American and European markets.
Faced with a growing barrage of sophisticated cyberattacks, organizations are forced to deploy more threat prevention and detection technologies, add more solutions to automate and orchestrate security operations and acquire additional security expertise. However, doing so is costly and complex, which is further exasperated by the well-known shortage of cybersecurity talent. Cynet solves these problems by natively combining multiple security controls and sophisticated response automation on a unified autonomous XDR platform that does not require additional staff to operate. Cynet's platform is backed by a proactive 24/7 Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service that is included for all clients at no extra cost. All of this enables organizations with even the smallest security teams to manage their threat protection on autopilot – without manual intervention.
Cynet is also announcing that recognized cybersecurity researcher Chris Roberts is joining the company in the role of Chief Security Strategist. Roberts will leverage his 20+ years' security experience to assist and guide organizations of all sizes that are looking to simplify their cyber-security solutions and services through consolidation and automation.
"I empathize with security teams stationed in resource-constrained organizations that are struggling to protect their people and companies from the continuous barrage of digital threats," said Roberts. "I look forward to working with these clients to develop and implement enterprise-grade defense and risk reduction techniques using a combination of pragmatic operational practices and modern, integrated technologies such as Cynet's automated, consolidated protection platform."
"The massive surge in interest and demand for Cynet's offering confirms that organizations of all sizes need intuitive and affordable approaches to cybersecurity," said Avery Schwartz, Partner at Greenfield Partners. "Cynet proves that effective breach protection doesn't have to be costly and complex by simplifying, consolidating and automating the critical technologies required to protect against modern day threats."
"Cynet has experienced exponential growth by solving a real problem, eliminating the complexity involved with effective cybersecurity," said Eyal Gruner, Co-Founder and CEO of Cynet. "This round of financing will allow us to expand our team to meet client and market demand."
About Cynet
Cynet 360 is the world's first Autonomous Breach Protection platform that natively integrates XDR endpoint, user and network attack prevention and detection capabilities with an incident engine that fully automates investigation and remediation actions, backed by a 24/7 world-class MDR service. End to end, fully automated breach protection is now within reach of any organization, regardless of security team size and skill level. Visit: https://www.cynet.com.

Drive initiative to diversify/multiplex disaster prevention/disaster information communication channels by connecting the city's urgent information communication system with LINE

TOKYO (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2021
transcosmos inc. and transcosmos online communications inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; President: Hiroshi Kaizuka) are proud to announce that the two companies offered an additional feature of "KANAMETO," a Digital Transformation (DX) tool powered by LINE, to Munakata city, Fukuoka prefecture (City Mayer: Misako Izu) on March 1, 2021. With the new feature, the two companies assist Munakata city in delivering disaster prevention/disaster information in a diversified and multiplexed way by using the city's LINE official account.
Munakata city released "Munakata City LINE Official Account (Account name: Munakata City)" on October 1, 2020, and deployed "KANAMETO" to the account. Since then, the city has been offering a chatbot service for its citizens to solve their questions about waste disposal rules, fire and disaster prevention, and education/parenting, as well as delivering segmented messages on various information including disaster prevention, events, tourism, moving to and settling in the city.
Using the "Disaster prevention email connected solution" by "KANAMETO," Munakata city connected its existing "Munakata City Urgent Information Communication System" to its LINE official account on March 1, 2021. With the new solution in place, the city can now communicate the city's disaster prevention/disaster information to "friends" registered to "Munakata City LINE Official Account" swiftly and accurately.
Munakata city's urgent information communication system is a system that delivers a range of disaster prevention/disaster information as well as urgent notices from the city via emails and faxes in real time. The information includes weather warnings for heavy rain, typhoons and earthquakes that may cause a disaster, and evacuation advisories at the times of disasters. The city has added the new solution in order to deliver the latest disaster prevention/disaster information accurately to as many citizens as possible because "access to emergency information" and "initial response" are matters of life or death when a disaster hits.
Munakata city has been disseminating disaster prevention/disaster information to its citizens via emails and other means through the urgent information communication system after the city deployed the system in April 2011. Recently, however, LINE - the communication platform that is steadily increasing its users - has become one of the social infrastructures, and the government is pushing municipalities to diversify and multiplex ways to deliver disaster prevention/disaster information. Against this backdrop, there is a growing demand for disseminating such information swiftly and accurately via LINE, the communication tool with a high utilization ratio among citizens. To meet the demand, Munakata city has deployed the "Disaster prevention email connected solution" to its LINE official account that the city has been operating with KANAMETO's standard features. The newly added solution enables Munakata city to deliver the same information sent from the system via LINE messages immediately to its citizens.
The solution also helps the city reduce the operational workload of its staff as the solution can automatically transfer the necessary messages to the city's LINE official account from the urgent information communication system. With the aims of helping municipalities communicate actively with their citizens, and creating a town where their citizens can live safely and comfortably, transcosmos and transcosmos online communications will continue to assist them in driving their initiatives for further utilizing LINE.
"KANAMETO" is a LINE-powered DX tool developed and offered by transcosmos online communications inc., a joint-stock company between transcosmos, LINE Corporation and salesforce.com Co., Ltd. Equipped with a questionnaire feature, KANAMETO enables businesses to deliver segmented messages based on user attributes collected via this feature in addition to a chatbot feature for having one-on-one chat communication with multiple LINE users simultaneously. By adding a new feature to integrate KANAMETO with Salesforce Service Cloud in October 2019, it became easier to visualize customer service performance and to perform analysis to increase productivity. Moreover, in May 2020, transcosmos online communications launched a reporting feature specifically designed for local governments through which their citizens can report issues they have found related to public road and park conditions.

Behavioral health software company supports anxiety research in partnership with Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, University of Cincinnati, and UCLA Semel Institute

ATLANTA (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2021
nView Health, a provider of innovative software solutions that help identify, diagnose and monitor patients with behavioral health conditions, announced today that its assessment solutions have been selected for use in one of the most comprehensive pediatric mental healthcare studies, the Partners in Caring for Anxious Youth (PCAY).
PCAY, a large multisite randomized control trial, funded by Patient Center Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) aims to study the effectiveness of evidence-based treatments for child and adolescent anxiety. PCAY is a pragmatic clinical trial comparing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to CBT plus medication treatment (Combination) with the goal of achieving anxiety symptom remission and functional improvement at 6 and 12 months. Using the nView solution, participants will be identified in pediatric primary care, reflecting where treatment is commonly sought and administered by their pediatrician and community therapists.
Anxiety disorders represent the most common mental health conditions. These illnesses have an early age of onset and are associated with functional impairment and distress. When untreated, they may result in persistent disability into adulthood. Early and accurate identification and treatment of anxiety disorders can improve lives. CBT and medication management have been shown to be effective for the treatment of anxiety disorders. However, there are gaps in how families make informed decisions
What PCAY hopes to answer is (1) How do the two treatments, CBT and combined treatment, compare in rates of symptom remission? (2) Will fully optimized and personalized CBT close the effectiveness gap with combined treatment? (3) How will these treatments compare in a diverse community sample receiving care in the community?
PCAY will assess participants throughout the treatment process, allowing for an in-depth understanding of treatment trajectories and identification of early predictors of remission. The implementation of PCAY within pediatric primary care settings will inform strategies for improving access to care.
According to Dr. John Walkup of Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, "Our goal is to answer an important and common clinical question: 'What is the best initial treatment for the childhood anxiety disorders -- combination treatment or CBT only?' Parents really want to know if there is a solid pathway to remission with CBT only or is medication really necessary for optimal outcomes."
According to Thomas Young, MD, Chief Medical Officer and Founder of nView Health, "This study marks the beginning of a new, more comprehensive look at the way our country is identifying and treating children and adolescents who need access to mental healthcare. Alarmingly, the rate of misdiagnosis for anxiety and other disorders in our country exceeds the rate of correct diagnosis. This must be addressed. We are honored to be working with these incredible hospitals and pediatricians to redefine the way mental health is identified and treated among our pediatric communities today."
Among its several products, nView Health provides digital, pediatric DSM-5 behavioral health screeners, diagnostic interview tools and follow-up trackers. The nView Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I.) KID solution, which enables physicians to more accurately identify 24 different pediatric disorders in one assessment, will be used throughout the PCAY study.
About nView Health
nView Health offers behavioral health technology that enables healthcare professionals, researchers, and educators to rapidly deliver the right diagnosis, resulting in the right treatment at the right time. Its suite of products allow providers to deliver validated diagnostic behavioral health screens, interviews, outcome tracking, and billable services to patients in a simple, easy-to-use platform.

Programs to empower professionals in criminal justice, human services, mental health, public health, education, and other occupations that help people affected by traumatic experiences

ST. PAUL, MINN. (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2021
Concordia University, St. Paul (CSP) today announced two new graduate program options specifically focused on trauma, resilience, and self-care. The new programs, launching in Summer 2021, will offer highly focused curriculum specific to professionals who provide direct care and emergency response, intervention, support, and teleconsultation services. CSP will offer two new options for graduate students:

A 15-credit graduate certificate that includes five courses that can be completed in 10 months.

A Master of Arts degree with an Emphasis in Human Services Trauma, Resilience, and Self-Care that includes 36 credits of coursework completed over 22 months.

The 15-credit certificate program can be associated across a wide range of graduate degree programs, including forensic behavioral health, criminal justice, law, nursing, and other human services-related fields of study. These options were created to address the growing demands on professionals who work directly with people affected by traumatic experiences, empowering them to address real-world challenges they will face while working with people in crisis.
The expanded curriculum options are modeled after CSP's existing Trauma & Resilience in K-12 Education graduate program and certificate offerings. The extended focus of the new program will provide relevant and timely knowledge through coursework focused on:

The foundations of trauma disorders and stressor-related disorders

The impact of childhood trauma on the developing brain

Forensic behavioral health aspects of trauma

The impact of trauma on family systems

Trauma-informed practice, self-care, and resilience strategies

"Many professions, from law enforcement to health and human services and the legal community, face extraordinary human challenges compounded by their personal traumatic experiences. Too often, professionals are unable to provide effective trauma-informed care," said Jerrod Brown, Ph.D., Assistant Professor and Program Director at CSP. "Issues related to complex trauma, toxic stress, and childhood adversity are growing at alarming rates. The challenges are compounded by the emotional toll of COVID-era confinement and isolation along with months of civil unrest locally and nationally, which contribute to increased fear, anxiety, worry, and depression for many individuals needing support services."
"The law enforcement community, in particular, has unique opportunities to deploy more modern approaches when responding to person-in-crisis situations," said Janina Cich, department chair of Criminal Justice & Forensic Behavioral Health at CSP. "By better understanding the root causes of crisis behaviors, law enforcement officers in the field can better assess immediate situations. Concordia's new program can help facilitate real-world change across the spectrum of law enforcement and criminal justice. Such skills can help law enforcement leaders be more responsive to increased public demand for new models of policing."
"Our university continues to pioneer relevant, real curriculum that helps our students bring exceptional value in the job market," said Eric LaMott, provost and COO, Concordia University, St. Paul. "Our faculty continually develops innovative academic programs that align with our students' needs for job-relevant skills to help them stand apart from others. With this new program, we can help make a meaningful difference for professionals who help people deal with extremely challenging trauma-related circumstances for better outcomes."
The content within the new Trauma, Resilience and Self-Care programs is not intended for use in diagnosis or treatment. Instead, this program is designed to enhance a student's professional competencies and promote learning, processing in ways to identify signs and symptoms, when to take action, and where to refer those needing intervention and support.
About Concordia University, St. Paul
Founded in 1893, Concordia University, St. Paul is a private Lutheran liberal arts university that delivers academic programs that are responsive to the needs of our students and relevant to the demands of the job market.

The new WORX 20V, Power Share, 4-1/2 in. WORXSAW Compact Circular Saw with brushless motor delivers 10 times longer motor life than a circular saw with a brushed motor. At 4.8 lbs. (with battery), the saw is lighter than 7-1/4 in. circular saws, making it highly maneuverable and nimble, even when cutting overhead.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2021
The new WORX 20V, Power Share, 4-1/2 in. WORXSAW Compact Circular Saw with brushless motor delivers 10 times longer motor life than a circular saw with a brushed motor. At 4.8 lbs. (with battery), the saw is lighter than 7-1/4 in. circular saws, making it highly maneuverable and nimble, even when cutting overhead.
The saw's brushless motor, slim body and compact size make it a game changer in the shop. The brushless motor delivers up to 50 percent more run time and up to 80 percent more power than a comparable saw with a brushed motor. The high performance brushless motor runs cooler, and with less friction for long tool life.
This 20V cordless compact circular saw uses a blade with a 3/8 in. arbor size, allowing the motor to spin twice as fast as traditional circular saws.
The compact, brushless WORXSAW has a slim, inline overmold grip with integrated safety trigger. Ergonomic design of its nylon-composite body provides comfortable, one-hand operation, especially when cutting overhead. A narrower base plate permits cutting in spaces that might be too tight for standard, 7 ½ in. circular saws to operate. The compact saw also features a left-sided blade design for unobstructed cut-line visibility.
The WORXSAW has a 4-1/2 in., thin-kerf blade. The smaller, thinner blade reduces resistance and motor strain when cutting through materials, which boosts efficiency. The saw's no load speed is 6900 RPM. The saw also features an electric blade brake, which stops the blade in seconds, once the trigger is released.
The compact saw's depth-of-cut is 1-1/2 in., making it ideal for making quick and precise crosscuts, rip cuts or plunge cuts. An adjustment knob sets up bevel cuts from 0-46º. The saw's its depth-of cut at 45° is 1-1/8 in.
By switching to an optional 4-1/2 in abrasive blade (WA5048), the saw cuts masonry. To remove blades, the operator presses the spindle lock and loosens the blade screw with the provided hex key.
The cordless saw also features a dust extraction port with vacuum adapter attachment. A parallel edge guide also is provided to set up accurate rip cuts. An LED light on the front of the saw helps illuminate the cutting zone.
The WORXSAW is powered by a compact, 20V, 2.0 Ah Max Lithium battery with a built-in fuel gauge. As part of the WORX 20V Power Share program, the battery is compatible with more than 35 WORX 20V DIY tools and lawn and garden equipment for cost savings and convenience.
Included with the WORX 20V, Power Share 4-1/2 in. WORXSAW Compact Circular Saw with brushless motor is a 20V 2.0 Ah Max Lithium battery, one-hour charger, 24-tooth carbide-tipped blade, vacuum adapter, parallel edge guide, hex key and carrying bag.
The WORX 20V, Power Share 4-1/2 in. WORXSAW Compact Circular Saw with brushless motor (WX531L, $159.99) is available at http://www.worx.com and Amazon.
A bare tool version of the compact circular saw without the battery and charger (WX531L.9, $99.99) also is available. The WORXSAW comes with a three-year limited warranty.

The companies will bring new insight into safety on the road to benefit drivers, automotive manufacturers and insurance providers through advanced data science.

TORRANCE, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 09, 2021
Aioi Nissay Dowa Insurance Services USA and PreAct Technologies announce a collaboration to commercialize new data insights resulting from the innovative work of both companies. Using PreAct's advanced near-field sensor technology, future cars will be able to better understand driving risks related to insurance when coupled with Aioi's edge computing data science platform, MOTER.
PreAct's near-field sensing technology and edge processing are slated to be fielded in several vehicle models as early as model year 2024. This technology enables advanced protection systems, such as airbags, to activate milliseconds before a collision increasing safety, a capability long sought in the auto industry given its potential to reduce traffic fatalities and injuries by up to 80%.
Last year, Aioi USA and PreAct explored using near-field sensor data to better understand risk. "While work is ongoing, initial results indicate these data can significantly improve current analytics used by the insurance industry to evaluate driving and predict the likelihood of collision," says Paul Drysch, CEO of PreAct Technologies. "PreAct's near-field sensing technology and algorithms, covered by multiple patents, lead to understanding how a driver behaves on the road in ways previously not possible. When combined with Aioi's MOTER platform and advanced insurance analytics, it produces a very attractive solution for insurance companies to efficiently understand the risk they are covering and improve safety for their fleet and personal use customers."
The automotive ecosystem is focused on building business models around the monetization of data produced by modern vehicles. According to Capgemini research, predictions of the global revenue for vehicle data by 2030 range between $80bn to $800bn. Key challenges to realizing this market are first identifying the data of most value to potential customers and then placing the sensors and edge processing onto vehicles that generate it. The insurance industry is one of the largest customers for connected car data, especially as it relates to risk and vehicle safety.
"Aioi USA has developed MOTER as a data analytics software solution designed to bridge the gap between the automotive and insurance ecosystems," according to Craig Lozofsky, COO of Aioi Nissay Dowa Insurance Services USA. "MOTER, installed on the vehicle, materially reduces the costs of monetizing the vast trove of data produced by modern connected cars by performing the data science on the vehicle, removing the need to transmit, filter, process and store the raw data in the cloud. MOTER can deliver Aioi's unique data science insights or be configured to run an insurance carrier's propriety algorithms."
Together PreAct and Aioi USA will offer their solution to OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers and insurers. Applications also include CASE fleets of Connected, Autonomous, Shared and Electric transportation solutions such as buses, trucks and autonomous mobility solutions like self-driving ridehail or last-mile delivery vehicles. The companies have also designed a dashcam-like option that can provide an aftermarket hardware solution for insurers, risk managers and fleet owners.
Automakers will be able to realize their vision of greatly improving driving safety, while also partnering with the insurance industry to profitably monetize near-field sensor and unique connected car data and insights. According to research by William Blair, insurance companies in the U.S. pay over $700 to acquire a new customer. We believe there is enormous potential for this joint effort to provide insurance companies access to new customers and the data they need to properly underwrite risk in today's market.
About Aioi Nissay Dowa Insurance Services USA:
Aioi Nissay Dowa Insurance Services USA is a data-science focused US insurtech subsidiary of Aioi Nissay Dowa Insurance Co., Ltd. that is bringing data-driven insurance products and insights to the world of CASE (Connected, Autonomous, Shared, Electric) transportation solutions. Aioi USA works with fleets, OEMs, insurance carriers and advanced technology organizations to leverage the potential of data produced by modern vehicles to better understand risk and safety. http://www.aioi-usa.com, http://www.moter.ai

The lawsuit alleges Russell Cellular, Inc., violated the California Labor Code by failing to compensate their employees for missed meal and rest breaks.

FRESNO, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 09, 2021
The Sacramento employment law attorneys at Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, filed a lawsuit against Russell Cellular, Inc., alleging the company violated Labor Code. The lawsuit against Russell Cellular, Inc., is currently pending in the Fresno County Superior Court, Case No. 21CECG00491. To read a copy of the Complaint, please click here.
The lawsuit filed against Russell Cellular, Inc. alleges PLAINTIFF and other AGGRIEVED EMPLOYEES were from time to time unable to take thirty (30) minute off-duty meal breaks and were not fully relieved of duty for their meal periods. California labor laws require an employer to provide an employee required to perform work for more than five (5) hours during a shift with, a thirty (30) minute uninterrupted meal break prior to the end of the employee's fifth (5th) hour of work.
PAGA is a mechanism by which the State of California itself can enforce state labor laws through the employee suing under the PAGA who do so as the proxy or agent of the state's labor law enforcement agencies. An action to recover civil penalties under PAGA is fundamentally a law enforcement action designed to protect the public and not to benefit private parties. The purpose of PAGA is not to recover damages or restitution, but to create a means of "deputizing" citizens as private attorneys general to enforce the Labor Code.
For more information about the lawsuit against Russell Cellular, Inc., call (800) 568-8020 to speak to an experienced California employment attorney today.
Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP is a labor law firm with law offices located in San Diego County, Riverside County, Los Angeles County, Sacramento County, Santa Clara County, Orange County and San Francisco County.

Founded by sisters, Renwick fills a market void of classic cotton polos for women that are versatile enough to wear on the golf course and beyond.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) MARCH 09, 2021
Renwick, the new lifestyle brand created to provide timeless golf-inspired polos for women who want versatile pieces that look great anywhere, today announced the launch of its first everyday apparel line, perfect for wearing on the course and at any occasion. Available online and at select private club retailers, Renwick meets the needs of busy women – golfers and non-golfers alike – who are looking for versatility and comfort while still achieving a classic look.
Renwick was founded by women, for women. In launching the brand, entrepreneurial sisters Pippa Renwick and Sarah Renwick were inspired by memories of their father's soft, bright, preppy golf polos as well as the relaxed, natural and effortless beauty of their mother. At the same time, they noticed a void in the market for flattering, comfortable and classic golf apparel for women. The Renwick sisters responded by designing a polo that draws on classic roots but also gives busy women the flexibility to play nine holes of golf, have a business lunch at the club, pick up the kids and cook dinner without having to sacrifice style.
"As golfers ourselves, we knew that women were disheartened by traditional golf brands catering primarily to men," said Pippa Renwick, the company's CEO. "We also had noticed in our own family that while generations of men had been wearing classic cotton golf shirts, they still didn't exist for women. So, we took a preppy men's staple – a striped collared polo – and created a women's version with the same DNA but added feminine details like a flattering cap sleeve. The line is about celebrating the beauty of being yourself, surrounded by the things you love."
Unlike athletic apparel focused on performance materials that women can't wait to take off after exercise, Renwick clothing is made with supersoft 100% Peruvian cotton to encourage optimal style, fit, comfort and versatility. The initial launch features four different styling options, including:
The Short Sleeve Polo: The perfect polo. This is the style that launched the company. Wear it for golf or for life. Supersoft Peruvian cotton. Flattering cap sleeve. Relaxed fit. Three-button placket. Chest pocket. Shirttail hem. 100% cotton. Machine wash. Available in sizes XXS-XL. Six colors to choose from, including Periwinkle White, Aqua Navy, Green Pink, Coral Navy, Pink White and Pink Periwinkle. Price: $85.
The Sleeveless Polo: Perfect for the course or when women need a more polished look. Supersoft Peruvian pima cotton. Three-button placket. Shirttail hem. 100% cotton. Machine wash. Available in sizes XXS-XL. Five colors to choose from, including Periwinkle White, Pink Periwinkle, Coral Navy, Pink White and Aqua Navy. Price: $75.
The Polo Dress: Wear as a beach coverup or to a lunch date. Supersoft Peruvian pima cotton. Flattering five-button placket. 100% cotton. Machine wash. Available in sizes XXS-XL. Four colors to choose from, including Pink Periwinkle, Coral Navy, Aqua Navy and Green Pink. Price: $125.
The 3/4 Sleeve Polo: A chic update to the classic polo, this style will carry women through the off-season. Supersoft Peruvian pima cotton. Longer five-button placket. Shirttail hem. 100% cotton. Machine wash. Available in sizes XXS-XL. Three colors to choose from, including Pink Periwinkle, Aqua Navy and Coral Navy. Price: $90.
Pippa Renwick and Sarah Renwick each bring with them years of experience in the direct-to-consumer ecommerce and retail industries. They have held senior level merchandising and planning positions at J.Crew and. Pippa Renwick recently launched an ecommerce site for Michel Design Works. Sarah Renwick was a founding member of Draper James, the clothing line launched by actress Reese Witherspoon.
"The Renwick line combines the comfort of a T-shirt with the classic polish of a collared shirt, so our customers will never be underdressed or overdressed," said Sarah Renwick, the company's President. "That's what makes Renwick so great for all women, not just golfers. It's perfect for anyone with an active lifestyle, whether they've scheduled a tee time or simply want style and comfort as they go about their daily lives. Our goal at Renwick is to provide functional, top-quality apparel that makes women feel comfortable and beautiful."
About Renwick
Renwick is an athletic lifestyle brand dedicated to creating classic staples for the everyday female golfer and clubhouse member. Cultivated by a sister-team of entrepreneurs, ecommerce apparel veterans and golf enthusiasts Pippa Renwick and Sarah Renwick, Renwick provides apparel with a sense of timelessness and purpose for recreational golfers and women craving versatile wardrobe pieces. From the course to the clubhouse happy hour, Renwick is the answer to what is missing in athleisure. The first product line launches in the spring 2021 and will be available online and in select private club retailers. Learn more at renwickgolf.com.

Company also appoints Chris Roberts at Chief Security Strategist who brings ethical hacking and research experience to help organizations put threat protection on autopilot

BOSTON (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2021
Cynet (http://www.cynet.com), provider of the world's first autonomous XDR platform, today announced it has closed a $40 million Series C funding round led by Greenfield Partners with participation from existing investors Norwest Venture Partners, Vintage Investment Partners, BlueRed Partners and Deutsche Telekom. The investment will be used to meet the vigorous demand for Cynet's Autonomous XDR Platform from companies of all sizes, including those with small security teams in need of more holistic and efficient cyber solutions. Following a steep rise in sales in North America during 2020, Cynet is poised to maintain its rapid expansion in the North American and European markets.
Faced with a growing barrage of sophisticated cyberattacks, organizations are forced to deploy more threat prevention and detection technologies, add more solutions to automate and orchestrate security operations and acquire additional security expertise. However, doing so is costly and complex, which is further exasperated by the well-known shortage of cybersecurity talent. Cynet solves these problems by natively combining multiple security controls and sophisticated response automation on a unified autonomous XDR platform that does not require additional staff to operate. Cynet's platform is backed by a proactive 24/7 Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service that is included for all clients at no extra cost. All of this enables organizations with even the smallest security teams to manage their threat protection on autopilot – without manual intervention.
Cynet is also announcing that recognized cybersecurity researcher Chris Roberts is joining the company in the role of Chief Security Strategist. Roberts will leverage his 20+ years' security experience to assist and guide organizations of all sizes that are looking to simplify their cyber-security solutions and services through consolidation and automation.
"I empathize with security teams stationed in resource-constrained organizations that are struggling to protect their people and companies from the continuous barrage of digital threats," said Roberts. "I look forward to working with these clients to develop and implement enterprise-grade defense and risk reduction techniques using a combination of pragmatic operational practices and modern, integrated technologies such as Cynet's automated, consolidated protection platform."
"The massive surge in interest and demand for Cynet's offering confirms that organizations of all sizes need intuitive and affordable approaches to cybersecurity," said Avery Schwartz, Partner at Greenfield Partners. "Cynet proves that effective breach protection doesn't have to be costly and complex by simplifying, consolidating and automating the critical technologies required to protect against modern day threats."
"Cynet has experienced exponential growth by solving a real problem, eliminating the complexity involved with effective cybersecurity," said Eyal Gruner, Co-Founder and CEO of Cynet. "This round of financing will allow us to expand our team to meet client and market demand."
About Cynet
Cynet 360 is the world's first Autonomous Breach Protection platform that natively integrates XDR endpoint, user and network attack prevention and detection capabilities with an incident engine that fully automates investigation and remediation actions, backed by a 24/7 world-class MDR service. End to end, fully automated breach protection is now within reach of any organization, regardless of security team size and skill level. Visit: https://www.cynet.com.

The digital travel assistant sets the goal of making travel safer, representative, and more accessible for diverse travelers.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) MARCH 09, 2021
Vanter, a digital travel assistant making travel safer, representative, and more accessible for diverse communities, has announced its launch today in New York City. Founded by Tracey Hobbs and Lindsey Lerner, the app allows people from all walks of life to experience the world in an accessible way.
Tracey Hobbs, a tourism and hospitality professional and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion consultant, started the earliest iteration of Vanter as an Instagram page in 2018. Her goal, as a Black business owner and expert in DEI, is to bring inclusion and ease of travel to as many people as possible. "There is so much noise right now that it becomes a little challenging to determine who really supports the Black community and who is just doing it because it's the cool thing to do and say for the moment."
Hobbs was soon joined by Lindsey Lerner, an entrepreneur who had spent the better part of 2019 and 2020 managing music tours, and was involved in the "Van Life" community, where people from all over the country travel in their converted vans and RVs. "While people are still not traveling as much as they would like, because of the pandemic, we are working behind the scenes with business owners to ensure that they are ready for all an influx of customers to be coming into their establishments."
The private beta version of Vanter launched in January 2021. Hobbs and Lerner anticipate a full launch to market this summer. The startup is looking to grow its user base, and move toward fundraising before the end of the year. The proprietary software will provide restaurant and route recommendations, places to stay, artists to connect with, and knowledge that travelers have a community around them, wherever they are. The app is welcoming more beta users to test it through the link on vanter.co at this time.
The founders also highlight the importance of ease of travel, citing that many young travelers spend upwards of 40 hours planning longer trips, to ensure affordability and safety. Vanter would cut that planning time significantly, allowing travelers to have more time to enjoy their journey, by giving community members a space to rate and review destinations and establishments based on diversity, equity, and inclusion, and their ability to create a welcoming environment for all.
Hobbs adds, "Vanter is not here as a trend, we are built on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This is something that's integral to giving Black and other communities of color, women, those with disabilities, and the LGBTQ+ community the same kind of travel opportunities so many others enjoy."
About Vanter.co
Vanter is a digital travel assistant based in New York City. Vanter is a female-founded mobile app with the goal of making travel safe, accessible, and easy for diverse and overlooked communities. By providing a digital space to connect with fellow travelers and find inclusive spaces, Vanter will change the way we travel.

New Collaboration Will Support More Than 5,000 Educators With Data-Driven Instruction Tools

DURHAM, N.C. (PRWEB) MARCH 09, 2021
In communities across the nation, schools and districts are experiencing unprecedented challenges caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The franchise continues to experience monumental growth, rapidly expanding across the country.

ALPHARETTA, GA. (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2021
Germinator Mobile Sanitizing and Disinfecting, a national leader in the sanitizing, disinfecting and deodorizing industry, is proud to announce that it has been ranked No. 37 in Entrepreneur's list of the Fastest-Growing Franchises, published in the March issue of Entrepreneur magazine.
"We're extremely proud of all that we have achieved this past year as a part of our continued mission to help businesses and households across the country," said Gill. "I started this business six years ago with one goal in mind—helping people create and maintain hygienic environments to reduce the threat of germs, bacteria and viruses. With the pandemic throwing a wrench into our daily lives, people needed our services more than ever. We've gotten to where we are today thanks to our loyal customer base, devoted franchise owners who believe in our mission, and our esteemed Scientific Advisory Board. We have many new innovations in the pipeline for the years ahead, and we are looking forward to sharing these very soon."
Franchises on this list are ranked based on the net total of units (both franchised and company-owned) added globally from July 2019 to July 2020, with ties being broken based on their percentage of growth. In previous years, only U.S. and Canadian unit growth was considered—2021 marks the first year that the ranking is based on systemwide growth, recognizing the increasingly global nature of franchising. Germinator's position in the Fastest-Growing Franchises ranking is evidence of the strength and appeal of its concept, even during challenging times.
"Nothing can stop the smartest franchises from growing—not even a pandemic!" says Jason Feifer, Entrepreneur's editor-in-chief. "We've been impressed with how innovative franchises have pivoted and adapted this past year, and are happy to celebrate the ones who keep pushing forward and growing."
Germinator was founded by Jeff Gill in 2015 with the vision of providing customers with an effective method of proper sanitizing, disinfecting and deodorizing solutions for commercial and residential properties. The company launched national franchising in December 2019 and continues to experience tremendous growth across the U.S.
Germinator has continued to solidify its standing as a leader in the sanitizing and disinfecting industry. The company has continued to innovate, introducing new additions to its service offerings. Among the new additions are a Quarterly Protection Program for clients who want to sustain a level of cleanliness and hygiene on an ongoing basis and ATP Testing. Before and after service, Germinator's technicians will ATP test surfaces for cellular activity to measure their levels of cleanliness and to validate their intended results. The company will soon begin offering air purification and body products, providing an extra layer of protection to its patent-pending sanitizing and disinfecting process.
Germinator's patent-pending process provides a new generation of microbial protection. The company first tests surfaces for ATP using a luminometer to detect light that can come from cellular activity. This measurement immediately provides the level of cleanliness on a surface. The next step is the application of Germinator's Genesis surface treatment. Genesis is a one-step cleaner and broad-spectrum sanitizer and disinfectant treatment that harnesses the power of hypochlorous acid (HOCl). Derived from naturally occurring minerals, Genesis not only eliminates odors at their source but kills a wide range of bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, Salmonella enterica and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and viruses including norovirus, rotavirus and adenovirus on hard, non-porous, environmental surfaces. It meets the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists (AOAC) germicidal spray standards for Hospital-Grade Disinfection and is on the EPA's N List of products determined to meet the criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. As a result, this treatment will eliminate bacteria and viruses that may reside in an environment without the use of harsh chemicals or fumes.
Following Genesis, Germinator applies its Shield, a water-based quaternary ammonium compound that imparts a durable bacteriostatic finish. It is EPA registered as effective against the growth of mold, mildew, algae and odor-causing bacteria. This application creates an invisible barrier that combats deterioration and discoloration and promotes freshness for up to three months. The Genesis and Shield products are applied by using an electrostatic sprayer, which is the most efficient and effective means of delivering the products to the intended application sites. After Germinator's surface treatment and protectant services, the company retests ATP levels to ensure the surfaces have achieved the intended results.
Upholding the highest sanitization and disinfection standards, Germinator makes claims that are scientifically supported and within EPA regulations. Germinator's Scientific Advisory Board validates the company's research and process and is responsible for reviewing and advising on product strategy and direction and assisting with navigating legislative and regulatory issues. The board includes industrial hygienists, epidemiologists, medical professionals, including a former United States Assistant Surgeon General for five administrations, as well as many respected members of the scientific community.
Germinator presents an ideal opportunity for prospective business owners looking to invest in a socially conscious franchise with low start-up costs, unlimited market potential, and an opportunity to make a significant return on their initial investment. The fast-growing franchise has established a repeat business model, shedding new light on the importance of sanitizing and disinfecting regularly, which will remain steadfast for the years to come.
Franchise owners receive extensive training and guidance so they can understand how to treat surfaces, the best techniques to apply Germinator's solutions, and the tools needed to help ensure their work is at a Hospital-Grade level of clean. Germinator's training covers everything from licensing, products, and equipment, all the way to the vehicle franchise owners will use. Franchisees will also be connected to an All-in-One Digital Marketing Technology, which ensures they maximize their online visibility and grow their franchise while managing leads and sales with less hassle, reduced costs, and increased revenues.

Results can also be seen in the March issue of Entrepreneur magazine, available on newsstands now and Entrepreneur Media's iOS and Android mobile app. For more information on starting a Germinator franchise, visit https://franchise.thegerminator.com/ or call 855-664-3769 to learn more.

Discover the Latest Regenerative Medicine Therapies Used by Professional Athletes and their Applications to Everyday Patients Seeking Relief from Pain and Injuries.

ATLANTA (PRWEB) MARCH 09, 2021
Meet Dr. Richard Ambrozic, Atlanta's Celebrity Sports Doctor Behind the Comeback of Tampa Bay Buccaneers and 4-Time Super Bowl Champion Rob Gronkowski and retired Atlanta Braves World Series Champion Ryan Klesko.
Like Gronkowski, more professional athletes are turning to regenerative medicine, because the pressure to get back on the field is high, and now these therapies are increasingly available to the general public.
Although athletes commonly suffer serious injuries that could potentially end their careers and cause them serious long-term health complications, most of them turn to surgery to resolve those injuries. However, some of them are now pursuing Regenerative Therapies such as allografts, because these procedures are less invasive and non-surgical, with little to no downtime. The upside is the speed of recovery and repair that help many athletes recover faster and get back in the game.
The latest regenerative therapies have successfully been used to treat knee, back, shoulder, and neck injuries, and have also been used to heal soft tissue injuries to muscles and tendons even when surgery is required, as they can help shorten the recovery period as adjunctive therapies to surgery.
For example, in March 2019 Gronkowski retired from the New England Patriots after a series of career-hampering injuries.
"Gronk" thought he would never play professional football again. Fans were devastated, and he was hurting.
But then he met "Dr. Rick," and the regenerative medicine specialist began treating the legendary tight end with the latest regenerative treatment techniques. After Dr. Rick's treatments, Gronk was ready to play for The Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Indeed, Gronk not only got back in the game, but he went on to make Super Bowl history. He caught two touchdown passes from MVP Tom Brady, and propelled the Buccaneers to victory in Super Bowl LV.
"I feel like I'm 18 again!" — Rob Gronkowski
For the story behind the story, you need to talk to Dr. Rick. How did this regenerative medicine expert from Atlanta, GA enable Gronkowski to come back from retirement and perform like he was 18 again?
The answer is both fascinating and inspiring, and the best part is that the latest regenerative medicine treatments can help weekend warriors get out of pain, feel better, and do what they love again. Today, regenerative medicine is not just for superstar athletes. Gronk urges anyone dealing with an injury or living with pain to learn about the treatments that worked for him.
"Get your body better, come see Dr. Rick!" — Rob Gronkowski
Gronk's personal physician, Dr. Richard Ambrozic, can answer questions like this and more:
What are Dr. Rick's latest next generation regenerative medicine treatments behind the faster and fuller recoveries for superstar athletes like Super Bowl Champion Rob Gronkowski, former NFL Player and Superstar Wrestler Dean Muhtadi, Retired San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants & Atlanta Braves World Series All-Star Ryan Klesko, and former Professional Baseball Player and Co-owner of Gronk Fitness & Vue Enterprises Gordie Gronkowski Jr.?
What is Regenerative Medicine and how does it help typical patients?
What types of pain and injuries can be treated using Regenerative Medicine?
What areas does Regenerative Medicine/allografts treat?
How can someone find a Regenerative Medicine specialist with expertise in the latest treatments?
According to interviews in the new Regenerative Medicine Magazine, co-published by C. Christie Craig and Brad Weber of Local Umbrella's C4 Lead Machine and featuring GRONK on the cover, patients from age 14 to 89 can benefit from treatments similar to those that helped Gronk make his incomparable comeback.
Discover how these next generation Regenerative Therapies help typical patients seeking relief from pain and injuries, not just superstar athletes.
You might not win the Super Bowl, but if your body can recover faster and you can live without pain, Dr. Rick and GRONK would call that a win in anyone's book.
"Ever since I tore my meniscus and received the allograft regenerative therapies, I've been pain-free. Wow! " — Ryan Klesko.
Athletes Available for interviews with Dr. Rick: Ryan Klesko , Gordie Gronkowski Jr. and Dean Muhtadi.

The report offers insights into luxury real estate market trends in Paradise Valley, Biltmore, Arcadia and North Scottsdale. As one of the fastest-growing real estate markets in the United States, the Phoenix-metropolitan area has seen skyrocketing demand for homes over $1M over the last 18 months.

PHOENIX, ARIZ. (PRWEB) MARCH 09, 2021
This new to the market data-driven report on Arizona's luxury real estate market breaks down the trends in the affluent and highly sought-after Arizona neighborhoods of Paradise Valley, Biltmore, Arcadia and North Scottsdale. Valley Luxury Partners focuses exclusively on the sales of multi-million dollar properties. The Phoenix-metropolitan area's skyrocketing demand for homes over $1M over the last 18 months showcase it as one of the fastest-growing real estate markets in the United States. According to Robert Altshuler, the founder of Valley Luxury Partners, the endeavor of time and money required to develop a "hyper-local" luxury market report is necessary in this competitive market to give savvy clients an edge in making smart buying and selling decisions.
The real estate firm has formed a team that analyzes the emerging trends in the luxury market including pricing, home size, age and architectural style. The Valley Luxury Partners data analytics team's inaugural report takes a deep dive into specific luxury transactions from 2020 to provide clients with personalized insights into the future of the 2021 market and beyond. The report analyzes the luxury market in the COVID-19 pandemic, which made for a year unlike any other. Unlike other widely available real estate reports providing general market data, Valley Luxury Partners is focusing exclusively on Paradise Valley, Arcadia, Biltmore and North Scottsdale with single family residences listed over one million dollars.
By dedicating resources to data analytics, Valley Luxury Partners has positioned itself as a trusted source in Arizona for its clients and the media to understand the luxury residential market which is approaching a 3 million price threshold for listings in the focus markets it serves. The in-depth analysis identifies factors such as age, neighborhood and selling prices that will become key drivers in luxury real estate buying and selling in 2021. Some of the available data includes the average price per square foot, days on market, highest priced transactions in each specific neighborhood and insights into how architectural style and age of properties impacts listings. The analytics team identified the "must have" home features luxury buyers are seeking and the price threshold the market has shifted to. Additionally, Valley Luxury Partners looks at tax records to learn more about the profiles of buyers to effectively advise sellers on marketing properties to out-of-state luxury buyers looking to move to Arizona.
With an expansive network of high-net-worth clientele, Valley Luxury Partners provides an unprecedented level of service, expertise and global reach. The firm was selected by Clientele Luxury Global, a comprehensive media publication that reaches affluent subscribers, to be an exclusive agent team for Arizona.

Hempvana releases highly portable and effective pain relief device with TENS technology.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) MARCH 09, 2021
Leading Hemp Brand, Hempvana, recently debuted the Rocket Relief Pen. This highly portable product utilizes TENS technology to provide substantive pain relief without expensive doctor visits or cumbersome wires and pads. When used in concert with Hempvana's hemp-infused pain relief creams, customers can expect to experience fast and effective pain relief wherever they may need it.
TENS stands for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator. TENS devices send electrical pulses through the skin, releasing endorphins and other chemicals to block pain signals in the brain. Many doctors and physical therapists utilize TENS technology because it is renowned for temporarily relieving aches and sores. While TENS technology is widely recognized for its benefits and effectiveness, the Rocket Relief Pen is one of the first TENS therapy devices that is entirely wireless and small enough to fit in a pocket. This new device from Hempvana delivers a visible pulsing twitch and features nine levels of adjustable intensity so users can get the exact level of pain relief they need whenever and wherever.
Founded in 2018, Hempvana is a family-run company based in the USA. They were tired of compromising when it came to pain relief. Fibromyalgia, arthritis, severe back pain, and multiple biking and skiing injuries were just some of the issues they grappled with over the years. After several iterations of product formulas, testing, and trials, Hempvana is confident they have developed a premium line of pain relief products. This diverse line of products harnesses the latest scientific advancements and natural remedies utilized for pain treatment in the home for centuries.
The Rocket Relief Pen is also available as a package deal with two pens and a jar of Hempvana's maximum strength Pain Relief Cream with hemp seed extract. To learn more about the Rocket Relief Pen and the rest of Hempvana's pain relief products, interested consumers can visit https://hempvana.com/.
At Hempväna, we believe that you should not have to compromise. Our team works tirelessly to provide you with premium products, combining the nutrients of nature with the strength of science in order to help you feel your best. We blend FDA approved, high-quality ingredients with natural remedies that have been used at home for centuries. Harnessing the power of hemp, we strive to support you on your journey towards health and happiness.

NerdVision's integration is now live on the Datadog Marketplace

STUTTGART, GERMANY (PRWEB) MARCH 09, 2021
NerdVision has released a new integration on the Datadog Marketplace to help developers accelerate development and simplify live application debugging.
Developers and IT professionals often struggle to recreate production issues in dev environments at the cost of eating error budget and risking greater service downtime. With shorter development release cycles and growing complexity, the chances of a production outage increase. Organizations must react quickly to identify code-level issues before their customers are impacted. Nerdvison's solution aims to speed up the debugging process by allowing developers to set breakpoints and send log events that represent the state of production code without the need for code changes, restarts, or redeployments.
Together with Datadog, the NerdVision integration allows companies to capture NerdVision debugging events inside the Datadog monitoring and security platform, where customers can correlate these events with Datadog's metrics, traces, logs and alerts across their applications, infrastructure, and third-party services. Paired with Datadog's dashboards and analytics tools, application and DevOps teams can use NerdVision to pinpoint code-level issues without halting the execution of live applications, helping to mitigate critical outages, and providing customers with a better user experience.
"As a Datadog Technology Partner, we have enjoyed working closely with the Datadog team to bring the capabilities of NerdVision inside the Datadog platform," said Darren Pywell, CTO at NerdVision. "In combination with the analytics tools from Datadog, our Marketplace offering allows the user to view the number of tracepoints being triggered, to identify hotspots of debugging activity."

Future Method Named to Fast Company's Annual List of the World's Most Innovative Companies for 2021. Science-based sex care brand among top-ranked in the Wellness category.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) MARCH 09, 2021
Future Method has been named to Fast Company's prestigious annual list of the World's Most Innovative Companies for 2021.
The list honors the businesses that have not only found a way to be resilient in the past year, but also turned those challenges into impact-making processes. These companies did more than survive, they thrived—making an impact on their industries and culture as a whole. This year's MIC list features 463 businesses from 29 countries.
"We're thrilled to be recognized by the editors of Fast Company as one of the World's Most Innovative Companies," said Dr. Evan Goldstein, Future Method's Co-Founder. "This award will bring us greater visibility from a wider audience and shows that it's time to be candid about sex. We've been working hard to create products that support safe, healthy and judgement-free sex for everyone, and educating the consumer on how to prepare and care for themselves is an important part of that."
While 2020 was challenging for everyone, a positive development has been the increase in frank conversations about sex and diminishing stigma surrounding anal engagement for everyone. Future Method has helped lead the conversation about preparing for – and care after – sex since the brand launched the Future Method Intimate Wash in 2019. The brand's second product, Butt & Body Scrub launched in June 2020 and almost immediately sold out. Most recently – in March 2021 – the brand introduced a new after-care product, Butt & Body Soothing Cream, specifically designed for post-sex care. Future Method holds a unique position in the sex care category, and the brand will continue to pioneer and expand with innovative, science-backed products.
Fast Company's editors and writers sought out the most groundbreaking businesses across the globe and industries. They also judged nominations received through their application process.
The World's Most Innovative Companies is Fast Company's signature franchise and one of its most highly anticipated editorial efforts of the year. It provides both a snapshot and a road map for the future of innovation across the most dynamic sectors of the economy.
"In a year of unprecedented challenges, the companies on this list exhibit fearlessness, ingenuity, and creativity in the face of crisis," said Fast Company Deputy Editor David Lidsky, who oversaw the issue with Senior Editor Amy Farley.
To coincide with the issue launch, Fast Company will host its first-ever Most Innovative Companies Summit on March 9th and 10th. This virtual, multiday summit will celebrate the Most Innovative Companies in business, provide an early look at major business trends, and offer the inspiration and practical insights on what it takes to innovate in 2021. Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies issue (March/April 2021) is now available online here as well as in app form via iTunes and on newsstands beginning March 16, 2021. The hashtag is #FCMostInnovative.
ABOUT FUTURE METHOD

Drive initiative to diversify/multiplex disaster prevention/disaster information communication channels by connecting the city's urgent information communication system with LINE

TOKYO (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2021
transcosmos inc. and transcosmos online communications inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; President: Hiroshi Kaizuka) are proud to announce that the two companies offered an additional feature of "KANAMETO," a Digital Transformation (DX) tool powered by LINE, to Munakata city, Fukuoka prefecture (City Mayer: Misako Izu) on March 1, 2021. With the new feature, the two companies assist Munakata city in delivering disaster prevention/disaster information in a diversified and multiplexed way by using the city's LINE official account.
Munakata city released "Munakata City LINE Official Account (Account name: Munakata City)" on October 1, 2020, and deployed "KANAMETO" to the account. Since then, the city has been offering a chatbot service for its citizens to solve their questions about waste disposal rules, fire and disaster prevention, and education/parenting, as well as delivering segmented messages on various information including disaster prevention, events, tourism, moving to and settling in the city.
Using the "Disaster prevention email connected solution" by "KANAMETO," Munakata city connected its existing "Munakata City Urgent Information Communication System" to its LINE official account on March 1, 2021. With the new solution in place, the city can now communicate the city's disaster prevention/disaster information to "friends" registered to "Munakata City LINE Official Account" swiftly and accurately.
Munakata city's urgent information communication system is a system that delivers a range of disaster prevention/disaster information as well as urgent notices from the city via emails and faxes in real time. The information includes weather warnings for heavy rain, typhoons and earthquakes that may cause a disaster, and evacuation advisories at the times of disasters. The city has added the new solution in order to deliver the latest disaster prevention/disaster information accurately to as many citizens as possible because "access to emergency information" and "initial response" are matters of life or death when a disaster hits.
Munakata city has been disseminating disaster prevention/disaster information to its citizens via emails and other means through the urgent information communication system after the city deployed the system in April 2011. Recently, however, LINE - the communication platform that is steadily increasing its users - has become one of the social infrastructures, and the government is pushing municipalities to diversify and multiplex ways to deliver disaster prevention/disaster information. Against this backdrop, there is a growing demand for disseminating such information swiftly and accurately via LINE, the communication tool with a high utilization ratio among citizens. To meet the demand, Munakata city has deployed the "Disaster prevention email connected solution" to its LINE official account that the city has been operating with KANAMETO's standard features. The newly added solution enables Munakata city to deliver the same information sent from the system via LINE messages immediately to its citizens.
The solution also helps the city reduce the operational workload of its staff as the solution can automatically transfer the necessary messages to the city's LINE official account from the urgent information communication system. With the aims of helping municipalities communicate actively with their citizens, and creating a town where their citizens can live safely and comfortably, transcosmos and transcosmos online communications will continue to assist them in driving their initiatives for further utilizing LINE.
"KANAMETO" is a LINE-powered DX tool developed and offered by transcosmos online communications inc., a joint-stock company between transcosmos, LINE Corporation and salesforce.com Co., Ltd. Equipped with a questionnaire feature, KANAMETO enables businesses to deliver segmented messages based on user attributes collected via this feature in addition to a chatbot feature for having one-on-one chat communication with multiple LINE users simultaneously. By adding a new feature to integrate KANAMETO with Salesforce Service Cloud in October 2019, it became easier to visualize customer service performance and to perform analysis to increase productivity. Moreover, in May 2020, transcosmos online communications launched a reporting feature specifically designed for local governments through which their citizens can report issues they have found related to public road and park conditions.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) MARCH 06, 2021
Assured Signs Is Expanding
At the beginning of March 2021 Assured Signs announced it was expanding its presence into the United Kingdom. Until now, Assured Signs was largely only available to customers residing in the United States and Canada but now, the company is excited to offer its range of quality signage across the whole of the United Kingdom and can be purchased on Amazon.co.uk from as early as May of this year.
Increased Product Portfolio
Along with this Assured Signs continues to aggressively launch new products in the Office, Safety, and Baby categories to complement its existing product portfolio. This is good news for existing customers who are already familiar with the quality products Assured Signs provide and, it's another step forward for Assured Signs as it attempts to establish itself as one of the leading brands in the informational signage niche.
Stepping into Home Décor
Assured Sign's has also announced it is stepping into the realm of home décor for the first time. One of the directors, Sean explained that this strategic move opens a door to a whole new range of signage. Sean said this is an exciting challenge for the company as it aims to deliver not only the informational message each sign contains in a clear fashion but also aims to deliver that message in a stylish and elegant way that will enhance the look of any home. They are entering the market by offering a series of stylish dishwasher magnets that can be flipped depending on whether the dishwasher is dirty or clean. Sean continued stating that this product will be a gateway into the niche before it will introduce further home décor signage in the true sense of the phrase.

Wake Up With You" is the new single from top-charting Brazilian recording artist, Bruno Martini, with Becky Hill and Magnificence. It is the 2nd single off Martini's forthcoming full-length studio album, Original (Universal Music).

NEW YORK (PRWEB) MARCH 06, 2021
Vibrant. Optimistic. Flirtatious. "Wake Up With You" by Bruno Martini, Becky Hill, Magnificence is the sound of 'now.' The song is the second single from Martini's forthcoming full-length studio album, Original (Universal Music), and "Wake Up With You" is out now.
Shimmery, flirtatious and light, "Wake Up With You" is a buoyant pop song with an electronic dance music (EDM) kick. Radio-ready, timely, and oh-so-catchy, Bruno Martini's "Wake Up With You" is an elevating 'earworm' with an uplifting vibe and excellent songwriting. The chorus is massive and Becky Hill's voice elicits smiles when she sings, "I don't wanna run through the night / 'cause I only wanna wake up with you."
With a compelling topline that sticks after the first spin, "Wake Up With You" is a must-add song in playlists, whether for long car-rides or dancing with abandon in one's living room. Here's a song that encapsulates pure joy.
Said Bruno Martini about "Wake Up With You," "The writing process started here in São Paulo. Magnificence are renowned DJs and have a revolutionary sound. I showed them this new song of mine, written with my longtime friends, Mayra and Elias Inácio, and they loved it and wanted to be a part of it. Through Universal Music, I sent the song to Becky Hill...she really liked it and added new phrases to the lyrics. Becky's got pretty amazing vocals. Through music we've been able to form a very cool relationship. I was very happy with the final result."

Xulon Press presents a faith-building discussion.

VALDOSTA, GA. (PRWEB) MARCH 07, 2021
Author Ted F. West answers the hard questions to verify the message of Christianity in Evidence that Dispels Doubt: "How Secular Sources Reveal Biblical Truth" ($27.49, paperback, 9781662810688; $9.99, e-book, 9781662810695).
Even dedicated Christians can be de-railed by an atheist who really know his stuff. They can also be confused when it appears that science conflicts with the Bible. West has combined his scientific training and his Christian faith to bring evidence to both believers and non-believers, dispelling doubt.
West said he was inspired by "an experience while doing an internship, where a group of Christians were trying to convince an atheist from what was said in the Bible - a book he did not think was valid."
Ted F. West is a lifelong Christian, an avid Bible-reader, and an ardent believer in the relevance of the Scriptures in our lives today. His life experience as both a committed Christian and a trained scientist have led him to seek to reconcile his belief in the Bible as the Word of God with his belief in the laws of science. He holds an undergraduate degree in biology, a master's degree in business administration, and doctoral degrees in nutrition and naturopathic medicine. He lives with his wife in South Georgia.
Xulon Press, a division of Salem Media Group, is the world's largest Christian self-publisher, with more than 15,000 titles published to date. Evidence that Dispels Doubt is available online through xulonpress.com/bookstore, amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com.

Xulon Press presents Biblical food for thought.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA. (PRWEB) MARCH 07, 2021
Author Dewey E. Painter, Sr. encourages believers not to take the Bible for granted with "Nuggets from the Old and New Testament" ($29.49, paperback, 9781662803314; $9.99, e-book, 9781662803321).
When Painter introduces someone to the Bible, he invites them to start with the book of John, then re-read it six times. To him, God's Word never gets old and he continues to discover new details each time he reviews the familiar texts. He wants his readers to stay excited about Bible study and continue to discover new "nuggets" of truth.
"So often when we study the Word of God,...we continue to revisit those familiar passages, drama, and portrayals that we have become accustomed to over the years. While it is good to repeat them it also subjects us to taking them for granted," said Painter.
Over more than 50 years as a believer, Dr. Dewey E. Painter, Sr. has served as a pastor, missionary, Christian university and seminary chancellor and professor, and USAF/CAP chaplain, Bible teacher and layman during 20+ years of military service.
Xulon Press, a division of Salem Media Group, is the world's largest Christian self-publisher, with more than 15,000 titles published to date. "Nuggets from the Old and New Testament" is available online through xulonpress.com/bookstore, amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com.

LANCASTER, PA. (PRWEB) MARCH 07, 2021
Author Peter Walton details memorable work of the Great I Am in God's Lessons at the 2010 Chilean Mine Rescue ($11.49, paperback, 9781662811593; $5.99, e-book, 9781662811609).
The world watched as 33 miners in northern Chile were trapped 2,400 feet below the surface during 17 days of rescue attempts. When they were finally brought into the light of day, it was difficult to deny God's handiwork. Walton has compiled stories of some of the amazing acts of God involved in this rescue and another in the Quecreek Mine of Pennsylvania to show his readers that God is involved in the lives of men and He has a plan for each of those lives.
"The purpose of this book is to detail God's hand in two world-known mine rescues," said Walton.
Peter Walton is also the author of Why Jesus Returned and God's Children Step Forth.

Xulon Press presents encouragement for anyone struggling through dark times.

SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.VA. (PRWEB) MARCH 07, 2021
Author H.G. Franklin II shows readers how to see the purpose and hope in their difficulties in Embrace the Darkness: Allowing the dark times of life to bring forth your purpose ($14.49, paperback, 9781662806049; $6.99, e-book, 9781662806056).
When life hits hard, it can be difficult to see that any good could come out of our suffering. Franklin shares stories of people in the Bible who suffered through bad times and draws parallels in his own life. He helps readers change their perception of darkness and directs them toward the light.
"I went through a life changing event and began to question the very being of my existence, and my faith in God. I began asking the question as to if God is a loving God then why does he allow bad things to happen to those who serve him," said Franklin.
H.G. Franklin II is a native of Kansas City, MO. He is a loving fiancé, father and son, which he credits for his determination and perseverance. Having grown up in the church and sitting under the leadership of some great men of God, his passion for ministry was birthed early in life.
