TopConsumerReviews.com recently gave their top rating to Wayfair, a leader among Barstools available for purchase online.
The right Barstools can be elusive to find. With today's homes offering such a wide range of counter heights, decor styles, and bar lengths, even the most well-stocked brick-and-mortar store often comes up short when it comes to having something for every customer. It should come as no surprise that more and more shoppers are turning to online retailers of Barstools to get exactly what they need: the perfect size, in the ideal color or finish, and, of course, the exact right height to slide under the kitchen countertop or rec room bar.
"If you can't find just the right Barstools among Wayfair's selection of more than 13,000 models, chances are good that they simply don't exist." according to Brian Dolezal of TopConsumerReviews.com, LLC. "Wayfair isn't kidding when they claim to offer 'a zillion things home', and their inventory of Barstools is incredible. Better yet, the retailer's easy-to-navigate online store means that you won't have to waste time sorting through styles that don't match your needs: clear images and intuitive filter options make it possible to find what you need with just a few clicks. Shipping is free on all orders over $49, and Wayfair offers a 30-day return policy in case the barstools you receive don't meet your expectations. With a huge inventory, a streamlined website, and a good reputation for customer service, Wayfair continues to be the obvious choice for buying Barstools in 2020."

Regardless of the state of the economy, there's five million plus movers per year. Welcome Wagon is here to introduce new movers to local businesses with targeted digital, social media, and direct mail marketing solutions.

FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 06, 2020
Regardless of the state of the economy, there's five million plus movers per year. Welcome Wagon is here to introduce new movers to local businesses with targeted digital, social media, and direct mail marketing solutions.
During the late 2007 and mid 2009 recession, America continued to experience an increase in movers due to a spike in unemployment rates. Studies show that the Great Recession forced people to move locally, migrating to an affordable home or apartment.
In 2009, Steve Goodman, the former founder and CEO of Home Greetings, purchased Welcome Wagonas he knew the company's maximum potential. Welcome Wagon's personalized greetings and helpful community information continues to touch the lives of over 100 million households.
"Welcome Wagon was born in 1928, just a year before the great depression. One of the many reasons for Welcome Wagon's longevity is that regardless of whether the economy is up or down, people are always moving and, thus, will always have a need for our services," said Steve Goodman, CEO and President of Welcome Wagon. "It is important for businesses to have a strategy to gain new customers with new movers to replace those they have lost, and Welcome Wagon's print and digital solutions effectively place businesses in the hands of new movers who are ready to invest in their new community."
Regardless of the economy's forecast, data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that the average American moves more than 11 times in their lifetime. With Welcome Wagon's New Mover Marketing Program, local businesses are able to showcase compelling offers, services, and products to new movers in the local community.
Given the fact that 85% of new movers use the first business that contacts them, it's essential for businesses to reach their best source of new customers – new movers. Welcome Wagon's dynamic print solutions offers a direct 1-2-3 approach. The Gift Book, Postcards, and Follow-up Book are perfect house-warming gifts to greet new movers.
If you're looking to reach new movers through multi-channel online advertising, Welcome Wagon makes it easy and affordable to increase brand engagement and loyal new customers. In today's digital world, social media campaigns, email marketing, and mobile apps are the best way to present your business's contact information, special offers, and more.
More about Welcome Wagon 
Welcome Wagon was created in 1928 to embody the spirit of warm hospitality and welcome. Welcome Wagon continues the same mission to this day, helping to create lasting relationships between new movers and local businesses. Their goal is to assist people in saving money, growing their business, and helping the local economy prosper. For more information on Welcome Wagon, visit https://www.welcomewagon.com/

A digital marketing expert and a direct mail marketer combine forces to create a unique lead generation platform for home services companies based in the Midwest.

KANSAS CITY, MO. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 06, 2020
TheHomeMag is a home improvement magazine franchise operating in over 60 major markets nationwide.
TheHomeMag was founded in 2002 and continues to publish over 100,000 million magazines annually.
At the end of 2019, Phil Singleton & Chris Zinn acquired the franchise rights, team and assets for the Kansas City and St Louis markets.
The magazine has been published in Kansas City since 2007 and in St Louis since 2016. Both markets have loyal, established client bases and seven-digit annual sales.
Singleton says, "I looked at the numbers and was blown away by the volume and quality of leads TheHomeMag can produce for consistent advertisers, especially for companies that already have holistic marketing strategies and clear messaging. The ROI rivals what we do for digital lead generation, including our core expertise in search engine optimization and pay-per-click advertising."
Singleton goes on to say, "This was a strategic acquisition that bolsters our existing local lead generation platforms by giving our clients monthly access to 120,000-plus luxury homes per market."
"Our acquisition of TheHomeMag adds to our growing list of 'unfair advantages.' When combined with our full umbrella of digital services and other exclusive media assets, we feel that we now have a lead generation platform that will substantially outperform the national market lead generation services and home service aggregators in 2020 and beyond."
Chris Zinn added "I've been publishing TheHomeMag since we launched the magazine in both Kansas City and St. Louis and I'm extremely excited to partner with Phil to lead these two magazines as owners."
On Phil's involvement Zinn was quick to point out, "I think it says a lot about TheHomeMag, its clients and their results for a digital marketing expert like Phil to invest in a traditional, direct mail marketing product like TheHomeMag."
TheHomeMag is America's #1 home improvement magazine with the sole purpose of delivering quality leads for home owners across the nation.

Impactful program dedicated to bridging the resource gaps in our community

SAN YSIDRO, CALIF. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 06, 2020
On Saturday February 8 from 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m., Winward Academy and the Border View Family YMCA will host hundreds of San Ysidro teens for a college readiness workshop in the Performing Arts Center at San Ysidro High School (SYHS).
Many students attending SYHS will be the first in their families to go to college, which research suggests will place them with additional challenges in applying to, accessing and completing postsecondary education. In the San Ysidro community, only 15.3% of residents ages 25 and older have a Bachelor's degree, compared with 37% at the county level.
"To create equitable opportunities for accessing college, college readiness support is crucial," said Border View Family YMCA Executive Director Gaby Millan. "Our Y is committed to fulfilling this community need, and we're thankful for our partnership with Winward Academy to fill these gaps."
The college readiness workshop will be led by Dr. Jennifer Winward, the founder and CEO of Winward Academy. Students will review the differences between the ACT and SAT, learn test taking strategies and tips for success and complete practice questions in the most frequently tested English and Math concepts.
"Winward Academy is thrilled to support San Ysidro High School students to provide critical information about college and career readiness," shared Dr. Winward.
"The reality is that students in northern and central San Diego have access to resources like Winward Academy that aren't likely available to families in southeast San Diego," shared Marko Gutierrez, a SYHS teacher. "It means a lot that Winward Academy is making sure all teens in our community have access to critical information that shapes their decision making and opens doors for their futures."
For the YMCA and Winward Academy, college readiness as a means to combat poverty is a cause worth fighting for. "Youth in this area need support with college readiness as a means to lift them out of poverty and help them achieve their full potential," Millan added.
To learn more about the YMCA of San Diego County's efforts to promote college access and college readiness in the community, please contact Gaby Millan at (619) 428-9622.

Company focused on sustainable, healthy design has successful Design and Construction Week.

ATLANTA (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 06, 2020
Atlanta-based Wellness Within Your Walls (WWYW) and its founder, Jillian Pritchard Cooke, experienced a successful Design and Construction Week, the residential building and design industry's largest annual gathering. Held January 21 to 23, 2020 in Las Vegas, Nevada, Cooke taught two educational sessions, presented multiple awards related to healthy living and innovation, gained a new company sponsor and announced the first WWYW-certified home.
"We are so proud of the opportunities we had during Design and Construction Week 2020, which combines the International Builders' Show and the Kitchen and Bath Industry Showcase in Las Vegas," said Cooke. "Our company made great strides in promoting the benefit of healthy living beyond the construction process, while also growing recognition for our certification program."
Wellness Within Your Walls' mission is to connect designers, homeowners and builders with healthy, eco-sensitive products and strategies that result in beautiful, sustainable and non-toxic living environments. WWYW's 10-step holistic approach, known as the Healthy Living System, results in a legacy of health, harmony and sustainability inside a homeowner's residence.
WWYW offers a certification program for people, places, products and programs. The certification program connects consumers with companies and products searching for a healthier living environment, and provides both a tremendous knowledge base and clear, marketable differentiation once certified. WWYW was proud to present the first Wellness Within Your Walls Certified Home last week in Las Vegas. This home focuses on a holistic design approach and low toxin interiors. The Chōwa Living in Balance House by Woodside Homes, chosen as the 2020 BUILDER Chōwa Concept Home, was designed to appeal to a new generation of buyers focused on spending their money in ethical ways, including sustainability. Everything in this home was sustainably sourced, with any waste becoming part of a recycling program. Chōwa, the Japanese philosophy of "the spirit of partnership and life balance," is the perfect representation of WWYW's goals.
During Design and Construction Week, Cooke had the opportunity to present two educational sessions with fellow industry experts. As part of the International Builders' Show, Cooke presented a session titled Creating the Healthier Homes Your Customers Want at a Price They Can Afford. This session analyzed how builders in affordable, custom and production market segments achieved the right balance of sustainability, healthy practices and features to incorporate cost-effective systems to match the market's expectations while also maintaining high-quality construction. Cooke's Kitchen and Bath Industry Showcase session, Increase Profitability by Designing for Wellness, shared how to create kitchens and baths that are not only attractive and functional but that also promote wellness, resulting in a healthier (and safer) home for clients – and a healthier bottom line.
Cooke was also honored to be the presenter of the National Association of Home Builders' Global Innovation Awards, which awards the most innovative projects, products and services disrupting the global residential building industry. She appeared at IBS Live and presented the exhibitor's products that won the Global Innovation Award from the floor, which highlighted the most innovative international products being exhibited at this year's show.
Finally, Cooke is proud to partner with Aprilaire, the new presenting sponsor for WWYW. Aprilaire provides healthy air products, such as humidifiers, dehumidifiers, air purifiers and more. Aprilaire recently entered into a new partnership with the American Lung Association. Aprilaire is the National Climb Partner for Healthy Air, which raises funds to support research, education and patient programs to help the millions of Americans impacted by asthma, COPD, lung cancer, air pollution and other lung diseases through stair-climbing adventures.

Centric Software expands into Turkey and empowers baby accessories retailer in Istanbul.

CAMPBELL, CALIF. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 06, 2020
ebebek, the Turkish mother-and-baby retailer, has selected Centric Software's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution, marking Centric Software's expansion into Turkey. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to fashion, retail, footwear, outdoor, luxury, consumer goods and home décor companies to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.
Based in Istanbul, ebebek covers all the needs of mother and baby with quality products, friendly staff, high service standards and affordable prices. ebebek sells clothing, food and drink accessories, skincare, toys and more through its e-commerce site and chain of 150+ stores across Turkey.
ebebek is growing rapidly, with the majority of growth coming from its textile department. The company needed a new system to support employees.
"Our staff faced challenges with their workload," explains Alper Tekin, CIO at ebebek. "The system we were using didn't suit our needs, so we wanted to adopt a PLM solution that would empower our teams and streamline internal product-related processes. We believe it is important to utilize the newest and best technologies to manage our organization effectively and make the right decisions quickly as to not slow things down."
Centric Retail PLM impressed ebebek from the start and following a series of onsite demos, the company decided to invest in the solution.
"We chose Centric Retail PLM because it has a user-friendly interface and includes all of the modules we need to cover our business processes," says Tekin. "When we saw the solution, we knew we didn't want any other PLM. The decision was also thanks to Centric's highly professional team who facilitated the process with their outstanding expertise and industry knowledge."
As Tekin says, "With Centric Retail PLM, our goal is to manage a larger volume of sales while supporting our teams with innovative technology."
"We would like to welcome ebebek as our latest partner in Turkey," says Chris Groves, President and CEO of Centric Software. "We look forward to working with the ebebek team to build a digital foundation that will streamline operations as the company continues to grow."

Tamer Seckin, M.D., Seckin Endometriosis Center Founder, Surgeon, and Board Certified Obstetrician-Gynecologist
Anate Brauer, M.D., SGF New York IVF Director and Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist
Tomer Singer, M.D., SGF New York Medical Director and Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist
During the event, Dr. Goldstein will cover the medical impact and her first-hand experience living with endometriosis, while Dr. Seckin, a renowned endometriosis specialist, will discuss the surgical management of endometriosis.
"Endometriosis, a painful condition where the tissue lining the inside of the uterus grows outside of the uterine cavity, affects approximately 48 percent of women with infertility. It likely affects someone you know. We're here to raise awareness about the disease and empower women with options and inform them of their endometriosis management and fertility preservation options," said Dr. Seckin.
"As a stage IV endometriosis patient and now endometriosis surgeon myself, it's always been my passion to promote wellness with an integrative approach. I can empathize with patients throughout all aspects of care," said Dr. Goldstein.
Egg freezing allows women with endometriosis to preserve the existing quantity and quality of their eggs and fertility at present. Vitrification, or flash-freezing, has shown to be an is efficient and effective method of freezing eggs that demonstrates strong survival, fertilization, and embryonic development rates after frozen eggs have been thawed, thereby preserving family building options.
Dr. Brauer will offer attendees a deep dive into SGF's egg freezing process, a fertility-preservation option that's growing in popularity at an unprecedented 20 percent per year, nationally, with even higher growth rates in New York City and surrounding areas.

My approach is to be very transparent with my patients about all of their options and help them to feel confident in whatever decision they make," said Dr. Brauer, who sees patients in SGF New York's Manhattan location.
Dr. Singer will share SGF's success rates, with SGF being one of only a few centers in the nation with published success rates for women who return to use their frozen eggs. In addition, he will cover what to expect during fertility testing to determine candidacy for egg freezing, what to expect during an egg freezing cycle, financial programs, SGF's refund guarantees for egg freezing, and much more.
"My approach is to support and empower my patients with the information they need to guide them in making the right medical decisions for them," said Singer, who also sees patients in SGF New York's Manhattan location.
All attendees will be entered into a raffle where one (1) attendee will receive a free egg freezing treatment cycle at SGF New York. The cycle giveaway is valid only for a future egg freezing cycle at SGF New York. Clinical eligibility does apply. The raffle drawing will take place at the event.

In a recent video interview on "Today's Women," one of Business Insights' newest Roku programs, Vikita Poindexter, a single mom with a chronically ill child explained how she had to learn to manage a business while being at her son's bedside in the intensive care unit. "I didn't know how to do it , and I had people who helped me. So it's my responsibility to help that next person." She encourages women to take advantage of help offered by such organizations as the NAWBO.

TEMECULA, CALIF. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 06, 2020
In a recent video interview on "Today's Women," one of Business Insights' newest Roku programs, Vikita Poindexter, a Dallas Cowboys fan tells her clients that as employers, they have to understand their employees are their best assets. But unlike the NFL, there is no concussion protocol for employers who take a big hit for failing to comply with something.
To watch Vikita's full Interview or that of other female business leaders, click here.
During the interview Vikita the CEO of Temecula-based Poindexter Consulting Group talks about the HR minefields California employers face in 2020, as well as the challenges of being a woman business owner. There are a lot of changes coming down the pipeline in 2020 of which Assembly Bill 5 is the most contentious. Poindexter called it "the biggest employment nightmare in California" right now.
AB 5 imposes stricter requirements for employee classifications. It creates a three-part test to determine whether an employee can be classified as an independent contractor rather than an employee entitled to greater labor protections, such as minimum wage laws, sick leave and other benefits. The new law, effective January 1, 2020, has triggered a great deal of criticism and several lawsuits seeking exemptions by employers and independent contractors alike. "The ones that want to be independent contractors are just as livid as employers," Poindexter said.
Now many frustrated employers are scrambling to determine where they stand with the new regulations. Poindexter advises them to not fight it, and go with the flow instead. "It's California. Nothing surprises me when it comes to employment law in California," she said. "The goal is, it is what it is. What do we need to do to work around it. What do we need to do to be compliant with the law, and still be able to do what you need to do."
For frustrated independent contractors, such as truckers or hairstylists, she advises them to set themselves up as a legitimate business to reduce their liability. AB 5 is just one landmine for employers to navigate past. Poindexter rattled off a list of other pending issues in California in 2020, including an increase in the minimum wage and an increase in paid sick leave. The list went on.
"Employment law in California is a little challenging because California is an employee-friendly state," she said. "It's not employer-friendly." Most midsize and small employers can't keep up with the constant changes and additions to California's employment laws. "In California, it's not what you didn't know. It's what you should have known," Poindexter said. "They don't give you any grace if you didn't know you were supposed to be compliant with something." As a result, Poindexter's services are in high demand, especially among business owners who don't have an HR department. "We'll come in and evaluate the business. Sometimes we restructure the entire business. We will look at their policies, procedures, and their corporate structure," She said. "We are the HR department. We just don't have an office on sight."
Her mission is to help these employers build a culture of compliance. "Happy employees don't sue. If you take care of the employees, your employees will take care of the business. If you don't, they have the potential to shut it down."
When Poindexter isn't consulting employers, she's often helping others in her community, particularly other women in business. Poindexter, a recipient of the 2019 Spirit of the Entrepreneur Awards and president of the Inland Empire National Association of Women Business Owners, said she believes she has an obligation to help pull other professional woman up and over the cliff's edge. She understands what they need to do.
As a single mom with a chronically ill child, Poindexter said she had to learn how to manage a business while being at her son's bedside in the intensive care unit. "I didn't know how to do it , and I had people who helped me. So it's my responsibility to help that next person." She encourages women to take advantage of help offered by such organizations as the NAWBO. "It's the only premiere organization for women that deals with advocacy," she said. "We're not a networking group. We advocate on behalf of women business owners." The trick, she said, is to find a niche. For Poindexter, she found her niche in providing outsourced HR services to companies with less than 100 employees. She said it's a target market for which she is ideally suited partly because she is a woman; moreover, a woman of color.
"I don't know a woman who hasn't been harassed in the work place; a woman that hasn't been discriminated against," she said. "So for me, what's been beneficial in my business is when I go in and have a conversation with a business owner, who better can help you navigate through some of those issues than somebody as myself." She tells other women who aspire to master a piece of the business world to just go out and do it. "So many times we let fear stop us from taking that leap of faith. I tell women, don't be afraid to try," Poindexter said. "Failure is in 'not' trying. You can't fail if you try."
"Today's Woman" can be view on Roku just search for "Business Insight".

EcoSun Homes is one of the forward thinking and innovative home builders in Florida that are giving buyers a chance to own a home that requires little to no energy expense while still being well-made and affordable. This is a new trend in the housing industry and one that few other markets have the ability to take advantage of.

ORLANDO, FLA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 07, 2020
Florida home buyers are some of the luckiest consumers in the nation. Not only do they get to buy a home in the Sunshine State but they also get to take advantage of having some of the most sought-after and reliable home builders putting up homes in dozens of communities across the state.
Some of these home builders, like EcoSun Homes, not only build incredible looking homes, but they are also affordable AND energy efficient. How energy efficient? Some of the EcoSun Homes have a perfect score of 0 on the HERS Index.
The HERS Index is a 3rd party energy rating company that scores homes based on their energy efficiency. The lower the score, the lower the energy bills and higher home comfort the house will have.
A typical home in the United States scores 100 while several "eco-friendly" builders claim to have homes that score in the 40's.
A 40 wasn't good enough for Rubi Akooka, the CEO of EcoSun Homes. He wanted to create a truly Net-Zero home. Recent HERS index reports show that he's done it. "All the homes we build are designed to be eco-friendly, affordable and attractive. We are one of the few companies in America that can say some of our homes produce as much energy as they use, allowing our home owners to owe virtually nothing on their electric bill."
Find out more about the HERS Index and how you can buy one of these incredible homes today by visiting https://ecosunhomes.com

Our premium coffee dripper is affordable and easy to maintain. It is the perfect way to start your day."

Beck-Reit Commercial Real Estate modernizes and renovates the Otto

AUSTIN, TEXAS (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 07, 2020
During a time when "tear-down, build new" seems to be a mantra for Austin development, a 110-year-old downtown building was given more than just a new lease on life. Passed down for generations, the family owners teamed with a commercial real estate specialist on a three-year renovation project to save "The Otto" and make it a proud showpiece for its community.
The commercial building was named after Otto Buaas, who bought it in 1928. By then, it was already nearly 20 years old, and it has remained in the Buaas family ever since.
In 2016, the Buaas reached out to commercial real estate specialist DeLea Becker to discuss future plans for the property. Everything hinged around a central question: What would happen to the Otto?
It was a familiar site in the downtown corridor, surviving as a piece of history from a time when Austin boasted a population of 29,000. Just three blocks away ran East Avenue – I-35 wouldn't be built in that location until 47 years later.
One big problem, according to Becker, was the state of the building. The two-story structure included retail and office space and two apartments, but more than a century of aging had left it in need of major structural and foundation repairs.
"There was termite damage, water damage. There were roughly 75 holes in the roof, so it leaked like a sieve when it rained," Becker said. "The whole structure was crumbling."
Several developers had approached Hamilton and Buaas, recognizing the prime location just three blocks east of I-35 in downtown. Becker knew, however, that if a developer were to buy the downtown property, it's likely that they would have completely torn down the aged Otto to build something new.
The family and Becker wanted to save the building. "We went to work on a plan to rescue the building, save every inch possible, create an East Austin Jewel and give it 50 more years."
A roadmap for renovating the Otto 
Saving the mixed-use building would not be easy. Becker and the owners collaborated on a plan – but it was a complicated one. The building had seen various additions and changes over the years, and some aspects weren't up to today's building standards. For example, "there had been years of people running gas lines next to electric lines," Becker said.
But first, Becker had to form her team. Her construction firm of 20 years, Beck-Reit & Sons Construction, would be the general contractor. Beck-Reit Commercial Real Estate, founded in 2014, would be the broker. And Beck-Reit Asset Management was formed in 2017 just to handle the leasing for this property (and other family assets).
Key figures in the project included architect Denise Shaw of Plumb Architecture, civil engineer Jeff Shindler of Texas Design Interest, structural engineer Samuel Young of MJ Structures, MEP engineers Steven Butler and Melissa Coad of DBR Engineering Consultants, and permit expediter Marla Busa of Delta Permitting.
There were some key decisions to be made about the structure itself. For one thing, Becker and the Buaas decided to keep the upstairs apartments.
"I thought it was much cooler to keep the apartments because you rarely see an old, old mixed-use building," Becker said. "Since 1945, this has been office, retail, and two apartments. So we kept that intact, and redesigned around that."
They also wondered if a back unit that fronted Waller St. would need to come of the building – but they decided to save it, as well. "It is one of the coolest rooms in the whole project," Becker said.
Negotiating with the city 
Another issue that had to be dealt with was encroachment, and it would prove to be a major hurdle for Becker and her team. The Otto's west wall is two feet out into the city right of way.
"The only way to keep that wall that's been there for 110 years was to do an encroachment agreement with the City of Austin," Becker said. In the end, the solution was to pour a new sidewalk on the edge of the building – and it had to wrap around a telephone pole.
"Eleven departments had to sign off on sidewalk for ADA compliance," Becker said. "That's eleven departments we had to meet with, explain why this was necessary, and why they needed to sign off. Then we had to go before the Austin Planning Commission for approval, followed by gaining approval from the Austin City Council, as well. It was an 18 month process."
Outdoorsy: A new tenant moves in 
The project's success was evident when the building was fully leased before it reopened. "We were signing leases before we even completed construction," Becker said. "One hundred percent of the building is pre-leased by Outdoorsy." The world's largest on-demand marketplace for recreational vehicles, Austin-based Outdoorsy leased the Otto for their headquarters.
"We finished the project under budget, and leased it ahead of time," Becker said. She added that the Otto is a proud accomplishment, and a success story in saving a piece of old Austin when most are opting to tear down old properties. "The owners are thrilled, and we look forward to seeing the building stay in the family for generations to come."

A recent study by Queendom.com reveals that having partner with complementary personality differences, similar values, who shows appreciation, and fulfills emotional needs is the gateway to a truly happy relationship.

MONTREAL (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 08, 2020
Many people mistakenly believe that Vatsyayana's Kama Sutra focused exclusively on titillating, Cirque-de-Soleil-esque sex positions. However, he also provided guidance on how to find a partner, how to earn said partner's trust, how to achieve emotional fulfillment, and whether reconnecting with an ex-lover is worth the effort. Even back in ancient times, it was understood that relationship happiness depended on a number of factors, not just a partner's ability to pull off the Janakurpara position. Sensual satisfaction is most certainly a contributing factor - ranked 5th in a study conducted by Queendom.com- but it's the intangibles that seem to matter more.
Analyzing data from 2,560 people who took the Relationship Satisfaction Test, Queendom researchers used multiple regression statistical methods to identify the relationship factors that most strongly differentiate happy couples from unhappy ones.
TOP 10 PREDICTORS OF RELATIONSHIP SATISFACTION
#1: Whether the differences between the partners - in terms of personality, skills, and social preferences - are viewed as complementary
#2: The degree to which each partner's emotional needs are being fulfilled, which includes feeling loved, secure, accepted, supported, listened to, valued, and desired
#3: Having similar values
#4: The degree to which the partners express appreciation for each other
#5: How often the couple has sex, the quality of the sex, and whether the partners have the freedom to express their sexual desires and fantasies
#6: Having shared interests and activities
#7: Being able to talk freely and openly, and to share a contrasting opinion without being mocked, rejected, or yelled at
#8: The level of trust between the partners
#9: The degree of intellectual compatibility
#10: Being able to get along with a partner's relatives
"Each of these factors plays an important role in relationship satisfaction. However, our statistical analyses revealed that the top four aspects had the strongest impact. Essentially, it's in these areas where happy and unhappy couples differed the most," explains Dr. Jerabek, president of PsychTests, the parent company of Queendom. "This means that if you and your partner are alike in terms of your values, are meeting each other's emotional needs, are making it a point to appreciate one another, and are able to achieve balance in terms of your personality differences, then you're already well on your way to a happy relationship. The rest of the factors are simply the icing on an already delicious cake. Of course, the conditions of each of these elements are entirely subjective. Some couples don't need to talk very much in order to be happy, or to have sex three times a day - to each their own. What matters is what works for your relationship, and whether you are able to find balance. Opposites do attract, but when a couple is unable to bridge their differences, and are unwilling to meet each other halfway, that's when problems start. The most important point here is that happy couples appreciate their differences, and are able to view them as complementary. They find the silver lining, instead of lamenting over how their partner lacks this or that. Couples who have been together for a long time have the advantage - and the experience - of knowing how to meet each other's needs, but only if they are both willing to put in the effort. So our advice is, don't just go through the motions this Valentine's Day. Make it a point to count your blessings, remember why you love your partner, what you appreciate about him or her, and what he/she brings to your life - and then express it."

Sexual compatibility is important to a relationship, but not as much as having congruous personalities and values.

As a leading Fertility Surgeon and Medical Director at A Personal Choice Tubal Reversal Center located in Raleigh, NC, Dr. Charles Monteith, has successfully performed over 12,000 tubal reversal surgeries on patients in the US and around the globe.

RALEIGH, N.C. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 10, 2020
As of January 1st 2020, A Personal Choice Tubal Reversal Center is offering free tubal reversal surgery by sponsoring the first ever Free Tubal Reversal Surgery Contest. This opportunity to have free tubal ligation reversal surgery is the first of its kind.
Dr. Charles Monteith is a sterilization reversal surgeon who is responsible for sponsoring the contest. He is the Medical Director of A Personal Choice Tubal Reversal Center, which is a specialty surgical center located in Raleigh, North Carolina. The center exclusively offers patients affordable, outpatient sterilization reversal for both women and men. Those who enter the Free Tubal Reversal Surgery Contest will have a chance to win a sterilization reversal surgery valued at up to $8,000. Each year, Dr. Monteith will select up to four (4) lucky winners who will be eligible to win either tubal ligation reversal surgery or vasectomy reversal surgery at no cost to them. This is the first time free sterilization reversal surgery has been offered in the United States.
Tubal ligation and vasectomy are very popular forms of permanent birth control. Each year approximately 700,000 tubal ligation surgeries (female sterilizations) and up to 500,000 vasectomy surgeries (male sterilization) are performed each year in the United States. Medical research has demonstrated up to 30% of women who have tubal ligation and 10% of men who have vasectomy will regret their sterilization procedures and desire to have more children. Their options for having another child are limited to adoption, in-vitro fertilization (IVF), and sterilization reversal. All of these options are expensive and none of them are guaranteed.
Adoption can cost up to $50,000 and up to 15% of adoptions will not be successful. A single cycle of IVF can cost up to $15,000 and a single IVF treatment cycle is approximately 30% successful. Sterilization reversal surgery is not guarantee but can be more successful than IVF. Sterilization reversal surgery can be up to 95% successful for men and up to 80% successful for women. Costs of sterilization reversal surgery range from $7,000 to $30,000 depending on where the surgeries are performed. Unfortunately, most health insurance plans consider surgeries to reverse self-imposed sterilization as non-essential, elective medical treatments and most plans will not cover the cost of either reversal surgery or IVF. This leaves many couples having to pay out of pocket for the treatment of their regret.
Many couples will quickly realize sterilization reversal surgery can be the most affordable option providing the best chance of pregnancy success. Despite sterilization reversal being more affordable, many who choose sterilization reversal will have to spend their life's savings, borrow from their retirement plans, or endure high surgery financing interest rates in an effort to afford reversal surgery. Dr. Monteith continually receives requests from couples in despair because they can not afford the high cost of reversal surgery. These couples asking if he would consider performing free or probono reversal surgery on their behalf. Many will tell him they are not able to afford the surgery and inquire if there are research trials offering free infertility treatment. After years of continually receiving these request, Dr. Monteith decided he could help a few of these couples each year by sponsoring a reversal surgery contest.
Applications are already rolling in! Within the first two weeks, Dr. Monteith has already received over 800 contest entries. Some of the statements made by those entering the contest are truly heartbreaking and revealing of the many different reasons people regret their sterilization surgery.
One contestant wrote on her application, "Thank you so much for offering this contest. I lost my children in a house fire and have been emotionally devastated. I looked into IVF and was not able to afford IVF. My local fertility doctor quoted me over $20,000 for reversal surgery. Your contest is giving me hope that I can one day be a mom again."
Another contestant wrote, "I was in an abusive relationship and the victim of domestic violence. I had my tubes tied so I would not be further trapped with my abuser by having more children with him. I have since divorced and now I am with a man who is the love of my life. He supports me, is not abusive to me, and is a real father to my children from my previous relationship. Tubal reversal surgery would allow me the chance to give him a child."
Another entry read, "I was advised to have a tubal ligation after being diagnosed with a potentially deadly heart condition. I have never had children. My health has dramatically improved over the last 10 years. I have spent over $30,000 on three IVF treatments and have not become pregnant. Although tubal reversal may not work...at least it will give me hope and a chance..."
Although it can be easy to blame those who chose sterilization and easy to have a "that is what you get" attitude, one can easily see by reading the above comments submitted by contestants that the decision to have sterilization and the decision to reverse sterilization are influenced by many different life circumstances. Dr. Monteith has extensive experience in the field of reproduction and understands the complexity of his patient's lives. This is why he chose to offer the first contest giving away free tubal reversal surgery and offering couples hope and a chance of becoming new parents again.

The City of Palm Springs recently launched a capital campaign to fully restore one of its most iconic buildings - the Plaza Theatre in Downtown Palm Springs. This historic theatre has played an impressive role in Palm Springs much like the Radio City Music Hall has in New York. When the restoration is complete, the Plaza Theatre will be poised to continue to provide the city and its visitors with top notch entertainment for many years to come.
Seminal Palm Springs architect Harry Williams designed the theatre in the Spanish Colonial Revival style. The theatre opened in 1936 with the premiere of the George Cukor film, "Camille," with its legendary star, Greta Garbo, who allegedly slipped into the back of the theatre after the lights went down. Garbo's co-star in the film, Robert Taylor, attended with Barbara Stanwyck.
Over the years, the theatre was the venue for memorable performances by entertainment giants Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra. Performers Jack Benny, Bob Hope, and The Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy Show broadcast live radio shows from the Plaza, bringing national attention to Palm Springs. It also was one of the most popular movie theatres in the growing Palm Springs community and was the venue for a number of motion picture world premieres, including "My Fair Lady" and "Music Man."
In the late 1980s Sonny Bono created the Palm Springs International Film Festival at the Plaza Theatre. In 1991, a vaudeville-type revue called "The Fabulous Palm Springs Follies" launched and ran there for 23 years. The long-running show brought international exposure to the theatre and in many ways helped revitalize downtown Palm Springs.
Establishment of Historic Protection: 
The Plaza Theatre was declared a Class 1 Historic Site in 1991. This designation prohibits any structural changes that do not adhere to the original design. The theatre is in dire need of repair and restoration and the City of Palm Springs is committed to bringing it back to its original luster as the heart of the City.
The comprehensive restoration and rehabilitation plan is estimated to cost approximately $10 million, and will provide essential infrastructure repairs, installation of new theatrical equipment, and structural improvements to ensure that the building meets today's fire prevention and American Disabilities Act mandates.
There are many ways in which the public may play a significant role in the Plaza Theatre restoration, including becoming a Founder, securing a Naming Opportunity, or making a donation. All contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. For more information or to make a donation to support preservation and restoration, contact former Councilmember J.R. Roberts at 760-218-6330 or visit http://savetheplazatheatreps.com

This historic theatre has played an impressive role in Palm Springs much like the Radio City Music Hall has in New York.

WRJ Design Creative Director Rush Jenkins earned major media attention for his role in creating the New York preview exhibit for Sotheby's January auction of nearly 1,000 pieces from Mario Buatta's personal collection that ultimately earned a remarkable $7.6 million in sales, shattering initial estimates. Recognized as the "maestro" behind the design and installation of the Buatta event by Architectural Digest, Jenkins brought the interior design legend's collection to life for one of the biggest events of 2020 for the design community.

JACKSON HOLE, WYO. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 11, 2020
Rush Jenkins, CEO and creative director of Jackson, Wyoming-based WRJ Design, was lauded by Architectural Digest as "the maestro" behind the design and installation of the preview exhibit for one of the most anticipated auctions in decades. The Sotheby's New York auction "Mario Buatta: Prince of Interiors," featuring nearly 1,000 pieces from the extraordinary personal collection of the interior design legend, concluded January 24, 2020, shattering original estimates of $2.9 million by earning an astounding $7.6 million in sales. The preview was an "exhibition to remember" writes Architectural Digest, crediting Jenkins with "bringing the exhibition to life." House Beautiful agrees, calling the immersive display "as close as you can get to stepping into the late designer's private life—a dream experience for any design fan."
One of the biggest events of 2020 for the design community, the auction included 922 lots, carefully curated from Buatta's gargantuan personal collection of furnishings, fine art and decorative objects from his Upper East Side New York City apartment and historic Connecticut house by his friend, confidante and biographer Emily Evans Eerdmans.
As designed by Jenkins, "the Buatta exhibition drew celebrities, industry professionals, and long-time admirers of Buatta's lively spirit and passion for maximalist design," writes Luxe Interiors + Design, capturing Jenkins' correct prediction that final bidding would "far exceed" early estimates. Indeed, "almost all of the items in the auction exceeded their projected sales prices," writes Business of Home, also reporting that the Jenkins-designed presale exhibition "attracted over 4,000 visitors to Sotheby's galleries." The sale's top price was for a painting by Yuri Pavlovich Annenkov at $212,500. And Jenkins' personal favorite, a black-and-gold secretary, sold for $162,000, more than twice its original estimate.
"Mario was a true arbiter of taste," Jenkins tells Luxe. "He collected things from other luminaries, like John Fowler and Nancy Lancaster, so now those items have a second stamp of approval and the provenance is even more impressive. Mario also had a strong respect for fine craftsmanship and a deep understanding of history," he adds, "so this collection is a masterpiece of beautiful objects."
A former director of design for Sotheby's, Jenkins and his WRJ Design partner and COO Klaus Baer are no strangers to boldface names, having created more than 40 exhibitions for the auction house of legendary personal collections, including of Mrs. Paul Mellon, Laurance Rockefeller, Brooke Astor, Bill Blass, Mrs. Wrightsman and Lily Safra, as well as working with Mrs. Reagan to create "Nancy Reagan: A First Lady's Style" for the Reagan Presidential Library and designing an exhibit of the work of famed midcentury jewelry artist Jean Schlumberger for the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg.
"Our approach to exhibitions is always to artistically represent the spirit of the collector – who in Mario Buatta's case happens to be an iconic interior designer," says Jenkins. "Though his personal style is outwardly different from our own in many ways, his approach to collecting interesting and unique objects and working creatively with scale and composition, fundamentally resonates with WRJ's philosophy of design. It was an honor to delve into the life of Mario Buatta and create an exhibition that encapsulated his world."
About WRJ Design: 
Headquartered in Jackson, Wyoming, WRJ Design imparts the special serenity of its local Teton landscape to interior designs in Jackson Hole and across the country. Begun out of a passion for great design by Rush Jenkins and Klaus Baer, WRJ creates experiences and environments through its designs that provide timeless reflections of homeowners and their collections, combining the work of regional artisans with finely crafted European furnishings and accessories, and historically rich one-of-a-kind pieces curated from around the world.

Clark's Latest Book, "Thugs: Seven," in Stores Now

ATLANTA (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 10, 2020
On the heels of releasing her 16th book, "Thugs: Seven," publisher, author and motivational speaker Wahida Clark—who went from prisoner to 4-time New York Times bestselling author—will now be taking her fans on a raw and riveting journey in an upcoming docu-series, "The Queen of Street Lit," a moniker she proudly wears for having initiated the Thug Love Fiction sub-genre. Directed by Antonio T.D. Faison, the project is currently in production, shooting in and around Atlanta, Georgia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Miami, New York and Ghana.
The series delves into the rich and complex story of Clark from her troubled youth to her lofty status atop the Street Lit genre. With some notable celebrity appearances, the project also spotlights the Thug Love Fiction genre and its effects on Hip-hop and urban culture.
Clark says, "By reading our under-celebrated Street Lit and Thug Love Fiction genres, we can heal. We promote literacy and address mental illness in our households through storytelling. I endeavor to use to use my platform to raise awareness for the important themes of family reorientation, conflict resolution, and financial literacy in our communities."
Clark's fascinating journey includes serving nearly a decade in federal prison—with one-time prison mate and media mogul Martha Stewart—to owning the most prestigious and fastest growing urban independent publishing house Wahida Clark Presents Publishing, which empowers other incarcerated authors to write and get published so they can support their families.
Clark's publishing banner, is proud to debut her 16th novel, "Thugs: Seven"(December, 2019), the seventh installment in one of her three popular series, The Thug Series.
No stranger to adversity, Clark was a runaway and high school drop-out at 14 years old, and eventually, facing 10 years in prison, she decided to turn obstacles into opportunity.
While in prison, Clark herself took a creative writing course, wrote her first novel, landed a literary agent and book deals with major publishing houses, including Kensington, Hachette and Simon and Schuster—so she could support her two daughters back home. Her literary career catapulted her from behind bars into a 4-time New York Times Bestselling author, and that first book launched just one of her three renowned series.
Clark is also the vice president and business development officer of the 501c3 non-profit Prodigal Sons and Daughters, which offers proven rehabilitation for at-risk youth, as well as those aging out of the foster care system, in Georgia and New Jersey. The organization has partnerships with the Atlanta Braves, Falcons and Hawks through contracts with Delaware North and Levy Restaurants.
Drexel University professor Vanessa Irvin Morris says, "Wahida Clark is the creator of the Thug Love Fiction genre which is a sub-genre of street lit. She is also the first street lit author to pen a series, thus establishing the trend. Wahida's style of writing has become the template for urban literature. When you read her novels, they are so real you are convinced that you either know the characters; you want to know the characters; or you are one of the characters!"
About the Author 
Dubbed the official "Queen of Street Lit," Wahida Clark has sold over 900,000 novels, including one New York Times bestseller with Hachette Publishing and three New York Times bestsellers with Cash Money Content, the publishing arm of the iconic record label Cash Money Records (home to renowned hip-hop recording artists Drake, Lil Wayne, and Nicki Minaj). Her publishing firm, Wahida Clark Presents Publishing, currently houses 30 authors, who have published and distributed nearly 100 books. She is the vice president and business development officer of the non-profit Prodigal Sons and Daughters Redirection Services, which offers proven rehabilitation for at-risk youth, as well as those aging out of the foster care system, in Georgia and New Jersey—currently serving over 20,000 people. Clark has recently been named Director of International Business Development for Prodigal Sons & Daughters Behavioral Health and has been featured in USA Today, Essence, Ebony, Vice, and on podcasts, such as Roxanne Shante, Sway in the Morning and DJ Kay Slay, amongst many others.

Dependable Cleaners has added a revolutionary new cleaning system, the San-O3-Wash, to their Dorchester laundromat. The San-O3-Wash system works by adding small amounts of Ozone to the washing machines which in turn kills germs, bacteria, and superbugs resulting in cleaner and fresher-smelling laundry. The system is odor-free, pet and child-friendly and disinfects every washer, every wash. In addition to producing cleaner laundry, the system reduces energy costs.
"We are excited to add this technology to our laundromat," said Christa Hagearty, President, Dependable Cleaners. "As part of our commitment to the communities we serve, we are consistently finding new ways to deliver the best garment cleaning services with the least impact on the environment," said Hagearty.
The San-O3-Wash system was installed by Aquawing, a New England based Ozone laundromat systems company. "Ozone effectively loosens fibers and breaks down soil and stains. San-O3-Wash results in cleaner, fresher-smelling laundry," said Aquawing president Ralph Daniels.
Aquawing has installed more than 5,000 systems worldwide which has dramatically cut the carbon footprint of numerous laundromats, hotels, nursing homes, and hospitals. The Dependable Cleaners laundromat located at 1141 Dorchester Avenue, Dorchester, MA will be the first laundromat in New England to offer this technology.

In March of last year, a New York City woman gave birth to twins conceived in vitro after years of infertility challenges. After the birth, the couple were stunned to discover that the IVF clinic had implanted the wrong embryos: the twins were biologically related neither to the couple nor to each other. The parents have filed suit against the fertility clinic, as have the biological parents of one of the babies—victims of the same mix-up. (1) "A mistake like this is simply devastating," says Dr. Mark P. Trolice, M.D., FACOG, FACS, FACE, Director of Fertility CARE: The IVF Center, and Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Central Florida College of Medicine. "Instead of joy, it brings pain and chaos into the lives of both parents and children."
To prevent such errors, says Dr. Trolice outlines in his recent publication (7) that it is incumbent on fertility practitioners to maintain the highest possible standards of care and accuracy, so as to avoid the kinds of situations reflected by these errors and the lawsuits that inspired them. His own practice, for example, is soon implementing technology for bar code identification of patients along with their egg, sperm, and embryos.
This degree of systems management, says Dr. Trolice, should become standard for the industry, noting that these errors, fortunately rare, are often attributed to human error but should not be considered inevitable. There are also egregious acts, committed by a Canadian fertility doctor whose license to practice was recently revoked. He was caught using the wrong sperm (including, in some cases, his own) in the assisted conceptions of more than 70 children. (2) He is now the subject of million-dollar lawsuits by two former patients. (3)
Meanwhile, the infertility field is expanding rapidly, as is investors' interest in it. Research from Piper Sandler projects that the U.S. fertility market will be at $15.4 billion by 2023, up from about $7 billion in 2017. Last October, fertility benefits provider Progyny became one of the first startups in the industry to go public; since then its stock price has increased more than 150%.(4) In addition to market attention, the dramatic possibilities inherent in IVF mix-ups are being explored in popular culture, first in an Australian best-seller that served as the basis for a television series(5), and more recently in an American adaptation on the Fox network.(6)
Dr. Trolice, whose views on the subject are shaped not only by his professional standing but by his own ten-year history as an infertility patient, says, "As physicians, we take an oath first of all to do no harm—and to make a mistake in embryo or egg or sperm identification is to do very grave harm indeed. In the fertility field, we see patients at a highly vulnerable point in their lives, and we become the custodians of their hopes. We may not always be able to make things better for them, but we can—and we must—avoid committing the kind of errors that make things worse."
About Fertility CARE: The IVF Center
Fertility CARE (Center of Assisted Reproduction and Endocrinology): The IVF Center provides patient-centered, evidence-based, and individually customized reproductive care in a comfortable and compassionate setting. This Central Florida IVF clinic, in the Orlando/Winter Park area, consistently earns 5-star patient ratings in online reviews. Established in 2003 by founder and director Dr. Mark P. Trolice, uniquely offers both male and female testing, evaluation, and treatment. Today, the practice encompasses the Center for Male Infertility, headed by a fellowship-trained male reproductive specialist; the Mind/Body Institute, overseen by a licensed clinical reproductive psychologist; and the IVF Laboratory of Central Florida, led by a Board-certified High-Complexity Laboratory Director.

One of the largest online marketplaces for syndicated 1031 real estate investments, the company believes. Kay Properties team members have participated in over $15 billion in 1031 investments since inception.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 10, 2020
Kay Properties, which operates an online 1031 exchange property marketplace, raised and placed $230 million in like-kind exchange equity investments from accredited investors in 2019, the company said today.
The $230 million raised from hundreds of accredited investors was invested in millions of square feet of commercial and multifamily properties across the U.S. The total consideration value of the properties at the time of funding was in excess of $3 billion in value.
Kay Properties (http://www.kpi1031.com) is a national investment firm specializing in Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) investments and private equity real estate investments. DST investments are an allowable option for replacement properties for investors who have recently sold other real estate assets and are seeking to defer taxation on their gains by reinvesting the proceeds in qualifying properties of a similar kind. So-called "like-kind exchanges" are allowable under U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 1031.
Based on publicly available information and understanding of industry participants, Kay Properties believes it maintains one of the largest syndicated 1031 exchange property marketplaces, with some of if not the, highest investment volume in the nation. While the vast majority of people investing in properties on the kpi1031.com marketplace are seeking like-kind exchanges, all accredited investors are welcome to participate in the offerings in the company's marketplace.
"2019 was an incredible year for the 1031 exchange replacement property market," says Dwight Kay, CEO and Founder of Kay Properties. "Sellers intent on deferring capital gains taxes on recently sold properties increasingly recognize the benefits of reinvesting the proceeds in qualifying properties. We're pleased to have helped so many hundreds of accredited investors nationwide deploy a proven, highly effective investment and tax strategy."
"At the same time," Kay observes, "individual investors intent on achieving the potential benefits of diversification, through alternative investments such as real estate, are discovering DSTs with appreciation and monthly income potential, as an opportunistic investment strategy." Investors can view the current offerings on the Kay Properties marketplace at kpi1031.com.

The http://www.kpi1031.complatform provides access to the marketplace of DSTs from over 25 different sponsor companies, custom DSTs only available to Kay clients, independent advice on DST sponsor companies, full due diligence and vetting on each DST (typically 20-40 DSTs) and an active DST secondary market.

New System Delivers Clinical Flexibility with Beauty Done Better.

THOUSAND OAKS, CALIF. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 10, 2020
Thousand Oaks, CA. Implant Direct announced today that its SMARTbase abutment has received 510(k) clearance for use with the Legacy and InterActive systems and is now available for sale in the United States. SMARTbase CAD/CAM engaging abutments combine ideal esthetics for your patients and more freedom of choice for your screw retained restorations.
"We're pleased to be bringing the SMARTbase platform to clinicians in the United States," said Steve Clareen, Global Business Head at Implant Direct. "With SMARTbase you have the freedom to redirect the screw access channel from 0° to 25° for improved esthetics and for greater accessibility in the posterior where space can be limited."
SMARTbase is available in a dual hue finish for enhanced esthetics. The gold anodization allows for the use of more translucent restorative materials, while the pink anodization of the titanium base offers a more natural blending with the gingival tissue. The concave transgingival profile shapes tissue growth for a thicker gingival cuff, reducing the chances of abutment visibility, and enables subcrestal placement.
Already widely used in Europe and Canada, the SMARTbase abutment supports a digital and conventional workflow. SMARTbase is available in a variety of cuff heights and profile widths. With its "Floating Screw" option, the fixation screw can be pre-assembled into the base prior to placement for easier seating of the restoration.

By providing high-quality dental products, comprehensive service, and training scaled to the needs of today's modern dental professional, Implant Direct is "Confidence You Can Afford". As part of the Envista family, including three operating companies and more than 30 trusted dental brands, we are united by one shared purpose: to partner with professionals and improve the lives of the patients they serve.

We do everything with passion or we don't do it at all."

Peachjar to facilitate delivery of digital flyers containing important Census information to 10 million parents across 15,000 schools.

SAN DIEGO (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 11, 2020
The United States Census Bureau, the government agency responsible for population data collection, and Peachjar, the digital flyer management solution that connects K-12 families to critical school and community resources, today announced a partnership to educate communities about the upcoming Census. The Census Bureau will disseminate informative digital flyers to all Peachjar schools, which schools can review and approve for distribution to families. Community organizations and local Census staff that are promoting Census education and events can also use Peachjar to distribute digital flyers for free.
The partnership raises awareness of the 2020 Census, explains how population counting works and conveys the importance of participation, especially for young children since they are historically undercounted. Census participation is critical for securing the proper resources to support every student's success. Altogether, data collected from the 2020 Census will impact the distribution of more than $800 billion in federal funding, including education funds that are critical for economically disadvantaged families.
"What we're seeing at our nation's schools is a steadily growing population, and with that growth comes an increased need for academic and life provisions," said Victoria Glasier, chief of the Statistics in Schools program at U.S. Census Bureau. "It is imperative that each student and family member is accounted for. Responding to the Census helps your community get its fair share of funding. We're grateful to have Peachjar as a partner in our effort to educate communities about the importance of being counted."
Using Peachjar's unique position in 15,000 schools, the U.S. Census Bureau will be able to reach the 10 million parents currently receiving digital school messages with the facts and resources they need to make an informed decision about Census participation for their family. The Census Bureau will provide flyers to schools in up to four languages to accommodate students and families from diverse backgrounds, including those of who are English Language Learners.
"We view Census education as central to our mission and responsibility to our community," said Steve Flores, Ph.D., superintendent of schools at Round Rock Independent School District. "This partnership makes it simple for our schools to share accurate, valuable Census information with families and community constituents. This is an indispensable community service."
According to a Census report, the resources affected by Census results include Title I grants that serve more than 24 million students from low-income families, special education grants and National School Lunch Program provisions. The same data will impact academic decisions about class size, professional development for teachers and preschool program access, as well as decisions about family support including nutrition resources like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and assistance with living needs like housing and food.
"It's important to us that students are able to gain access to adequate resources in school and life so that they can focus on learning and personal growth," said Mike Durham, CEO of Peachjar. "This partnership is a strategic fit for our organization because it represents what we believe is a moral imperative: striving to ensure that every student has the resources they need to thrive in school and in life."
Peachjar is offering expedited onboarding for schools seeking to distribute Census information to their communities ahead of Census Day on April 1. For more information, visit http://www.peachjar.com/census.

Vincent Real Estate, a division of Eden Prairie-based Vincent Companies, has announced that all 215 lots of its new Whispering Hills community development have been sold out. Comprised of 144 townhomes and 71 single-family villas, construction is expected to be completed in mid-2020 by builder M/I Homes. The village-style development is located in Carver County, between the city of Victoria, MN and the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.
While Victoria has been highlighted as the richest city in Minnesota with a median per capita income of $120,000, the new Whispering Hills community offers a more affordable opportunity for families to enjoy the benefits of this luxury location such as adjacent access to the 15-mile long Lake Minnetonka Regional Trail and the 3,000 acre Carver Park Reserve. Other amenities minutes away include the Victoria Recreation Center, Deer Run Golf Course, Lake Auburn Campground, the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, and more. Downtown Victoria provides a number of charming shops, delightful neighborhood restaurants and breweries, and beautiful local parks. While most new constructions in the area are priced between $650,000 - $1 million, Whispering Hills homes begin at $283,000.
Whispering Hills is a part of the award-winning Eastern Carver County School District, ISD 112, which includes Victoria Elementary School, Chaska Middle School East, and Chanhassen High School, all nearby.
Homes are designed with charming Craftsman-style exteriors, stone accents, and lovely balconies. Inside, every Whispering Hills townhome features a spacious, open layout, with bedrooms and laundry room on the top level. Kitchens feature large center islands with high-quality stainless steel appliances and plenty of storage space. The villas offer main level living with an open flow between the kitchen, informal dining areas, and the living room. Some villa plans offer additional living space upstairs as well.
"The City of Victoria was amazing to work with when it came to bringing the Whispering Hills housing development to their beautiful community," said Dale Creed Francis, co-founder and Managing Partner of Vincent Real Estate and Vincent Companies. "Victoria is one of my favorite areas in the entire state. The people are incredible. And now we've been able to provide about 300 people with a beautiful place to live and now call Victoria home. That is so rewarding to our team at Vincent Companies. I'm proud of how it turned. The credit goes to the much deserving city officials, residents, and skilled workers for making this a reality."
"This project has so much history for me personally. Growing up in the area I drove by this site every day on my way to high school some 20+ years ago," said Ryan Litfin, co-founder and Managing Partner of Vincent Real Estate and Vincent Companies. "Unaware in the beginning, it turned out we acquired the land from the uncle of a very good high school friend. I also have a picture of one of my sons on the first backhoe that was brought to the site years ago. I've watched my son grow as this development has grown over the years. I absolutely love bringing such a needed component to a community in which I grew up so close to."

Home Instead Senior Care offers advice to build strong connections later in life

OMAHA, NEB. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 11, 2020
While there is a lot of advice out there about how to stay healthy as we age, the importance of maintaining meaningful relationships is often overlooked. According to The University of Michigan's National Poll on Healthy Aging, more than a third of seniors surveyed said they sometimes experience a lack of companionship, with many also acknowledging feelings of isolation.
"Establishing positive social relationships with friends and family is vital to a person's physical, mental and emotional health," said Lakelyn Hogan, gerontologist and caregiver advocate at Home Instead Senior Care. "No matter what stage of life you are in, devoted friendships can have a real impact on overall quality of life." In fact, research suggests adults who remain socially active as they age often experience more mental stimulation and even increased physical activity, reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation.
While regular social interaction is beneficial at any age, research has shown older adults are particularly receptive to the positive effects of spending time with family and friends. Family members and friends can increase these interactions as easily as calling an older loved one more regularly or getting together for a weekly meal.
Additionally, there are countless ways for seniors themselves to remain socially active and create new friendships later in life. For inspiration, Lakelyn Hogan suggests exploring the following opportunities: 

Embrace Passions. Reflect on your interests and consider ways to enjoy those pastimes with others. Many older adults find they have more free time, which is a perfect justification to immerse yourself in a favorite hobby. No matter what your passion is, there is likely a way you can share it with others and connect while doing it.

Stay Active. Joining a gym is a wonderful way to stay active while simultaneously meeting new people. Bring a friend as an accountability partner and use the time to build upon an existing relationship. If you'd prefer to stay closer to home, invite neighbors to join you on a leisurely stroll around the block.

Volunteer in the Community. Whether working at a food pantry, serving as a greeter at a local hospital, or helping at church – you can meet new people and form long-lasting relationships through volunteering. In addition to nonprofits, many local institutions like museums, zoos and other landmarks welcome older adults to apply for volunteer positions as welcoming guests or guides.

Continue Learning. You're never too old to benefit from learning something new. Explore continued learning opportunities hosted at local civic centers or community colleges. There is a variety of classes – from literature and history to cooking and painting.

There are many ways older adults can form meaningful connections with others, whether through joining a club, finding a new hobby or attending a class. Find something you enjoy that allows you to create new relationships and maintain current ones. These connections can help everyone, especially seniors, on the path to a happy and healthy life.

Tampa-based facility maintenance company MaintenX International is helping lead construction on a Habitat for Humanity home they are sponsoring for a deserving family in Florida.

TAMPA, FLA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 11, 2020
Team members from MaintenX International donned their matching shirts and safety gear and got to work creating a home for the Ross family. On February 10, nearly a dozen members of the MaintenX Team began work on their Habitat home. Volunteers made progress onsite, working hard framing the interior walls that would support the roof and create the rooms of the house, as well as preparing trusses. Getting onsite allowed volunteers to continue the excitement that began with an official Build Kick Offlast month.
MaintenX is able to sponsor the Ross's home in West Florida through the Habitat for Humanity Pinellas and West Pasco chapter. After a successful home build in 2019, MaintenX decided to step up their commitment for their 2020 home build by becoming the subcontractor for the home. In lieu of providing labor for Habitat supervised construction teams, MaintenX wanted full control of their specialty trades and to leverage their in-house expertise. Working with the Habitat team, MaintenX was able to officially become their plumber, roofer, framer, HVAC and finish carpentry subcontractor.
"After our first team build, we knew we wanted to be even more involved in every aspect of the project," said Bill Schaphorst, MaintenX's VP of Business Development. "It's very special to know that the skills we use every day at MaintenX are being put to use to create a home for a very special family."
For Lashawn Ross, who has three young children, her excitement is about more than just having a house where her family will be safe. It is also an excitement about creating a home that her children are proud of.
"My kids are so excited about having their own room and space. They will be able to invite their friends over and not be ashamed," said Ross.
With a goal to have the Ross family's home dedication in early spring, there is still much work to be done for MaintenX. As a subcontractor, MaintenX will be managing major elements of construction like plumbing, HVAC, and roofing. MaintenX team members will also continue to provide volunteer assistance with hands-on work like framing, painting, cabinet installation, door and window installation and interior trim work.
It is a one-story ranch home that will be energy Star compliant located in the Tellor Estates Neighborhood in Pinellas Park, FL. The Home will feature four bedrooms and two bathrooms, giving each of the kids their own room!
Schaphorst noted that giving back is part of the culture at MaintenX. Whether team members are improving their community through volunteering Habitat for Humanity hours, participating in charity fun runs, collecting toys for Salvation Army Angel Tree families, or offering repairs to schools in need in Puerto Rico, MaintenX knows that supporting their community members is at the heart of their success.

Alula, a leader in smart home security and automation systems for professional installers, announced the addition of Warren Hill as Director of Partner Development. In this role, Hill will continue to drive the company's engagement within the professional dealer channel and deepen Alula's partnerships within the smart home security industry.
Hill joins Alula from UTC Fire & Security, a division of United Technologies, where he spent nearly a decade in various leadership roles. Most recently as Vice President of Partner Solutions, Hill designed, built, launched and grew the company's customer loyalty program and led the development of a customer web portal.
"I look forward to continuing my work supporting professional security partners in my new role with Alula," Hill said. "Our industry is evolving and I believe Alula is well positioned to help professionals keep pace with enhancements in technology and tools that will help grow their business."

Kitsune Cutlery was founded by Benjamin Nguyen, who struggled to find an affordable, beautifully crafted Japanese knife which sourced a reliable and high quality steel. Priced at just $75 at their Kickstarter Campaign, the 8 inch Kitsune Chef Knife sources VG-10 Damascus Steel directly from the only forge in the world to make it - the Takefu Steel Factory in Japan.

BROOKLYN, N.Y. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 12, 2020
Kitsune Cutlery officially launched on Kickstarter just over a month ago -- and has garnered over $20,000 in funding in just over 30 days. Their product, the 8 inch Kitsune Chef Knife sources real Japanese VG-10 Steel from the Takefu Steel Factory in Japan and is able to mitigate costs by selling direct to consumer, cutting out needless marketing and advertising, and selling exclusively online.
"We wanted to make a knife that any chef, home cook or professional, would be proud to use. We wanted to source the best steel possible, and found VG-10 Steel, renowned for its hardness and durability, we knew we found our match." says Benjamin Nguyen, founder of Kitsune Cutlery. "We saw the many fake imitation VG-10 Steel knives which use a less consistent Chinese VG-10 Steel that circulate the market, and made sure we partnered with a factory that was able to source real Japanese VG-10 Steel from the Takefu Factory in Japan".
The Kitsune Cutlery campaign includes other elements that pay respects to the Japanese aesthetic such as a beautifully crafted lacquer wood box featuring a scenic view of Mount Fuji with foxes overlooking the landscape, and every knife includes a Japanese furoshiki wrap, which features masterful Japanese artwork. The knife itself features a traditional Japanese octagonal wood handle sourcing both black and rosewood in its design.
"Japanese knives are so beautiful; I did not want to play around with something that has been tried and true for centuries. Knifemakers and swordsmiths all have been perfecting this design and aesthetic forever, I knew exactly how I wanted to design this knife as soon I launched Kitsune Cutlery" say Benjamin Nguyen.
Kitsune Cutlery plans to expand into different styles and models of knives, as well as cutting boards, whetstones, and other knife accessories. After raising over $20,000 in funding in just over 30 days, Benjamin says the possibilities are "endless".

Hottest Palm Beach Neighborhoods at Year-End 2019 
Months' supply of inventory, which is an important indicator of consumer demand and market performance, reflects limited supply in many neighborhoods and price ranges. As a result, lack of supply is also impacting property sales, particularly for single-family homes.
Top Palm Beach neighborhoods with the lowest months of supply of inventory with significant closed sales activity at year-end 2019:
Single-Family Homes
1. Lake Clarke Shores, a Palm Beach community west of Palm Beach and north of Lake Worth, had 1.7 months supply

4. Jupiter, a north Palm Beach city near the Martin County line, had 3.4 months supply

Palm Beach Cash Buyers Represent More than Double the National Figure 
In 2019, cash deals represented 42.9% of Palm Beach's total closed sales, which is a decrease from 45.4% in 2018. About 20 % of all U.S. housing sales are made in cash, according to NAR.
Broward's high percentage of cash sales reflects South Florida's ability to attract a diverse number of international home buyers, who tend to purchase properties in all cash.
Condominiums comprise a large portion Palm Beach's cash purchases as 56.3% of condo closings were made in cash in 2019 compared to 32.6% of single-family home sales.
Distressed Property Transactions Continue to Decline in Palm Beach 
About 3.2% of all closed residential sales in Palm Beach were distressed in 2019, including REO (bank-owned properties) and short sales, compared to 3.3% in 2018.
Short sales and REOs accounted for 0.6% and 2.6%, respectively, of Palm Beach sales in 2019.
Short sale transactions dropped 9.6% year-over-year while REOs decreased 3.7%. A decline in short sales points to more homeowners with increased equity, which should result in increased market activity.

Broward County single-family home sales and median prices for all properties increased year-over-year in 2019, according to the MIAMI Association of Realtors (MIAMI) and the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) system.
Broward registered 15,979 single-family home sales in 2019, up 2.2% from 15,639 in 2018. It was the county's highest total since it had 17,170 single-family home transactions in 2016.
"Broward single-family home priced between $400,000 to $600,000 saw a double-digit rise in transactions in 2019. Single-family luxury home sales also surged last year," Broward MIAMI President Sharon R. Lindblade said. "The rise of both metrics displays the breadth of Broward real estate and how the region is becoming an attractor for consumers in tax-burdened states."
Broward Mid-Market, Luxury Sales Fuel Rise in Single-Family Home Transactions 
Broward County single-family homes priced between $400,000 to $600,000 saw a 15.5% increase year-over-year, jumping to 4,194 transactions.
Broward luxury single-family home sales ($1-milion-and-up) increased 5.8% year-over-year in 2019 to 745 transactions.
There is strong pent-up demand for Broward luxury single-family homes. Luxury sellers are becoming more realistic with their asking prices. Federal tax reform is having an impact as more Northeastern buyers are opting to purchase in Broward to escape the higher taxes they could face in states like New York and New Jersey.
Federal tax reform, which was signed into law Dec. 22, 2017, sets a deductions cap for income, sales and property taxes at $10,000. The new cap is leading more residents of states with high property values and state income tax to purchase properties in states such as Florida, which has no state income tax and a pro-business tax structure.
Total Broward, Existing Condominium Transactions Decline 
Total Broward home sales declined a negligible 0.6% year-over-year, from 32,807 to 32,609.
Broward's condo market posted 16,630 transactions, down 3.1% from 17,168 in 2018. Lack of supply in certain price range and neighborhoods impacted sales.
Nevertheless, the 16,630 transactions are in line with the last five years: 2018 (17,168 transactions); 2017 (16,310); 2016 (16,721); 2015 (16,888); and 2014 (16,363).

Valentine's Day has evolved past being just a day for lovers. California Flower Mall petalers' bloom bright all night Thursday until Valentine's Day Friday 8 p.m. with a city block wide mall of flower gifts to celebrate every kind of love and relationship.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 12, 2020
Responding to the National Retail Federation report about changing consumer attitudes towards Valentine's Day, Mark Chatoff, owner of California Flower Mall a Downtown Los Angeles wholesale flower market says his analysis of NRF data shows fresh flower gifts and arrangements will continue to be a popular favorite, even among millennials. "Flowers gifts uplift the human spirit, that won't change. The evolution of Valentine's Day reflects the diversity of lifestyles today. Whether people celebrate it as a sentimental romantic tradition, a day to show love to yourself, Galentine's Day, Palentine's Day, or, Love and Friendship Day as it's known in the Latino community -- all reports indicate that in Southern California fresh flower gifts, plants and floral arrangements will continue to reign in the ever-expanding celebration of relationships."    
Whatever name you give it people still love the day of love. Danielle Hayes, blogger for The Shelf, a data-driven influencer marketing platform says, "Singles have ramped up their Valentine's Day spending over the last few years as well." She gives these fun facts about people and their love for Valentine's Day: 

35 percent of non-celebrants have Valentine's Day plans, whether it's to treat themselves or spend time with friends and family

NRF data shows Galentine's Day may really be a thing. Since 2010, expected spending on Valentine's Day gifts for friends has nearly tripled, from $737 million to $2.1 billion

To date, there are more than 860k Instagram posts tagged #galentines #galentinesday #palentines #palentinesday, the hashtags commonly used to celebrate mirror holidays Galentine's Day (for female friends) and Palentine's Day (for any friends)

Whether viewed as "shoppertainment", or a great way to celebrate love and relationships, Valentine's Day is a day of spending and gift-giving, even among those who do not embrace the traditional "Valentine's Day is for lovers" concept.

RICHARDSON, TEXAS (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 12, 2020
Goliath is showcasing Unsolved Case Files, the cold case mystery game, at Toy Fair New York at the Javits Center from February 22-25.

Press and members of the media are invited to tour Goliath's booth, #623, for a first-hand look at what's trending in the board game industry. Recordings and photos are highly encouraged.
Unsolved Case Files launched on Amazon in November 2018 and quickly became a viral sensation. Players take on the role of amateur detectives as they work to find clues and put together evidence to solve a murder and ultimately convict the killer.
The game is brought to life with realistic components, such as newspaper articles, crime scene photographs, evidence, interrogations, statements and more.
The online companion site works to guide players through the game with carefully cultivated hints and revealing the answers when players have cracked the case.
"We've really got something special here, and people are able to totally immerse themselves into the true crime sleuthing experience," said David Norman, President of Goliath.

At a time of critical change and disruption in the field of education, the Eisenhower Fellowships Global Poll on the State of Education around the world found that an overwhelming majority of young adults regard the quality of education and access to education in their nations as two of their most important issues.
Nonetheless, only 14 percent of the millennials and post-millennial members of Generation Z surveyed in 20 countries across six continents rated the educational systems in their nation as excellent, and more than half rated it poor or only fair.
An overwhelming majority of respondents (79 percent) believed the most important role of the public education system in their country was to teach students to read and write. But surprisingly, a large majority in virtually every country said preparing students to be good citizens (72 percent) and to be happy (71 percent) ranked second and third in importance, far ahead of preparing students to enter the workforce (63 percent) or compete in a global economy (56 percent).
The Eisenhower Fellowships poll surveyed nearly 2,088 respondents ages 18 to 39 in 10 languages, divided equally between men and women, three-quarters of them with an undergraduate or graduate degree and 25 percent lacking a college degree. The poll was conducted from January 21–31, 2020 by SocialSphere, a public opinion research firm in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The poll results are being announced at a global Eisenhower Fellowships conference this week on the Future of Education, in Cartagena, Colombia, where more than 210 influential leaders and educators from 41 countries are meeting this week to explore the Future of Education, a critical issue in every corner of the planet.
"The results tap into a deep yearning around the world to help students live a happy, less stressful life in an ever-more complex and confusing time," said John Della Volpe, founder and CEO of SocialSphere and director of polling at the Institute of Politics at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
"In virtually every nation, millennials and post-millennials see quality education as a vital need in their lives, second only to health care. Surprisingly, they value it before job creation, poverty, government corruption, climate change, race relations, gun violence or immigration."
Now in its 66th year and named for America's 34th president, Eisenhower Fellowships brings together innovative leaders from all fields from around the globe who tackle big challenges to better the world around them. Since 1953, more than 2,400 mid-career leaders from 115 countries have benefited from the unique, customized experience of an Eisenhower Fellowship.
Eisenhower Fellowships identifies, empowers and connects innovative leaders through a transformative fellowship experience and lifelong engagement in a global network of dynamic change agents committed to creating a world more peaceful, prosperous and just.

"The results tap into a deep yearning around the world to help students live a happy, less stressful life in an ever-more complex and confusing time," said John Della Volpe, founder of SocialSphere and director of polling at the Institute of Politics at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.

Allergy Technologies' ATAHC Program is joined by leading pest control industry companies - Corbett Exterminating, Key K9, Rockwell Labs, Bayer Environmental Science, Target Specialty Products, and MGK -- to address the growing bed bug problem in Philadelphia.

AMBLER, PA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 12, 2020
Allergy Technologies LLC, manufacturer of ActiveGuard Mattress Liners, with the support of Philadelphia Councilman Mark Squilla and local affordable housing management, is spearheading an effort to address the rampant bed bug problem in Philadelphia.
Allergy Technologies, along with other leading researchers, has developed the ATAHC (Allergy Technologies Affordable Housing Control and Prevention) Program for bed bugs - a first of its kind program designed to create an affordable and sustainable model of control and prevention of bed bugs within affordable housing.
ATAHC (pronounced 'attack') is distinguished from other approaches by incorporating an initial facility-wide remediation, effectively lowering the bed bug population. This status is sustained by the installation of long-acting preventive measures property-wide. Program success relies upon early detection and prompt intervention through an emphasis on engagement by residents and staff through continuing education.
According to Councilman Mark Squilla, "I'm determined to eliminate Philadelphia from all lists of worst bed bug cities. Bed bugs have significantly impacted the lives of Philadelphia residents, apartment owners and other commercial establishments. I appreciate the work done on the ATAHC Program by Allergy Technologies – a great Philadelphia area company – and the cooperation of management, staff and residents at the property."
Current treatment strategies are not working, and bed bug infestations continue to rise across the country, especially in community housing environments. The main sufferers are residents, whose quality of life is being severely impacted.
"The ATAHC Program will make a huge difference for managers, staff and residents of affordable housing," said Joseph Latino, President of Allergy Technologies. "The turnkey nature of the Program and the ability to protect residents from bed bugs further highlight this groundbreaking initiative."
"While core tenets of the ATAHC Program include early detection and intervention, a key component of the program's success comes from working closely with property management, staff and residents —all of whom have been incredibly supportive," continued Latino.
Jeffrey Lipman, Esq., whose practice focuses on the legal consequences of bed bugs in multiple occupant housing, often encounters the significant financial and emotional consequences of infestations.
"In addition to the costs of treating the continuous challenges of bed bugs for residents of affordable housing, budget constraints can often contribute to delayed treatments and therefore worsen the problem," said Lipman. "I applaud this program's core preventive objective that will alleviate the burdens placed on residents as a result of this insidious pest."
Entomologist Dr. Jim Ballard, a principal of Ballard Consulting who has been researching bed bugs for fifteen years and has seen the ineffective results from treatments in absence of long-lasting protection. "I'm impressed with the proactive approach adopted by the ATAHC Program, which uses select, field-proven strategies to prevent infestations. The program has also emphasized staff and resident engagement, which typically is overlooked."
Staff and resident education about effective pest prevention and control as well as the benefits of the Program has already taken place at the initial selected property.
"The fact that our hometown is ranked as one of the topmost bed bug-infested cities in the country is not acceptable, so we decided to do something about it," said Gus Carey, Managing Director and founder of Allergy Technologies. "While this demonstration alone will not immediately solve the overall bed bug problem in Philadelphia, it will ultimately showcase an effective and cost-sustainable strategy for bed bug control and prevention that will improve the quality of life for Philadelphia residents," Carey continued. Carey expects the success of the ATAHC Program will lead to its being replicated throughout the City of Brotherly Love and across the country.
In addition to developing the ATAHC Program, Allergy Technologies has donated more than $100,000 of ActiveGuard liners to the Philadelphia Housing Authority building complex. Corbett Exterminating, a professional pest control provider with expansive experience in affordable housing, has been chosen to implement the demonstration. Leading pest control companies including Key K9, Rockwell Labs, Bayer Environmental Science, Target Specialty Products, and MGK have made significant product donations and lent their professional time to support the effort.
ActiveGuard Mattress Liners are field-proven in hotels, apartments and colleges and provide long term prevention of bed bugs in or on mattresses and box springs, working 24/7 for two years. ActiveGuard liners come in four bed sizes and are easily installed by one person.
For more details, please visit the Allergy Technologies website at: http://www.allergytechnologies.com.
About Allergy Technologies LLC
Allergy Technologies LLC is committed to the creation and manufacture of innovative, effective and consumer-friendly products addressing major issues in both pest control and healthcare. The company's product claims are always the result of scientific truth and rigor. ActiveGuard Mattress Liners are available for purchase by pest control professionals and distributors; hoteliers; colleges and universities; property management; federal, state and local housing; cruise lines; and homeowners. Allergy Technologies is a subsidiary of A. Carey Co. LLC, which focuses on using philanthropy as a core business strategy for its businesses. Through its PhilanprofitSM strategy, a portion of all ActiveGuard proceeds go to help fund inner-city homeless and women's shelters and asthma clinics.

According to Councilman Mark Squilla, "I'm determined to eliminate Philadelphia from all lists of worst bed bug cities. Bed bugs have significantly impacted the lives of Philadelphia residents, apartment owners and other commercial establishments.

A Los Angeles home where Katharine Hepburn lived early in her Hollywood career and Boris Karloff at the height of his career is for sale and featured this week at TopTenRealEstateDeals.com.

POMPANO BEACH, FLA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 12, 2020
"Boris Karloff & Katharine Hepburn Home"
A Los Angeles home where America's longtime sweetheart Katharine Hepburn lived early in her Hollywood career and Boris Karloff lived at the height of his career is for sale. Hepburn, who was the queen of romance movies, and Karloff, who was the king of monster movies, occupied the home that is still owned by people with film-industry connections. The 5,000-square-foot, hacienda-style home has recently been placed on the market, priced at $8.995 million.
When Hepburn made the transition from Broadway to Hollywood in 1932, she rented the home and lived in it for the next five years. Katharine had been discovered by a Hollywood talent scout in New York during her performance in 'The Warrior's Husband' who invited her to do a screen test for Joseph P. Kennedy's RKO Pictures. Her independent style and business acumen turned her into one of the world's most popular stars for the next 60 years.
In 1938, Boris Karloff bought the Bowmont Drive home after he attained star status in the horror-film genre for his monster characters in 'Frankenstein,' 'The Walking Dead' and others. He continued to live there until 1945, enjoying his passion for gardening and turning the grounds into a tropical paradise.
Built in 1927, the five-bedroom, six-bath home appears to rest on a cushion of shrubs and flowers with terraces, two outdoor fireplaces, lawns and steps leading down to the swimming pool. Inside, whitewashed brick walls are balanced by wood or tile floors and wood ceilings with beams. With six interior fireplaces added to the two outside, there are many choices where one can cuddle up by a blaze on a chilly evening. A perfect home for entertaining, its walls must have many stories to tell, from the large kitchen to intimate conversation areas and garden spots among tropical blooms, roses and fruit trees.
The charming hacienda where Katharine Hepburn and later Boris Karloff once lived is now for sale in Hollywood's celebrity-rich 90210 zip code. Priced at $8.995 million, the listing agent is Brendan Fitzpatrick of Douglas Elliman, Beverly Hills.

Bulky outdoor furniture cushions that are difficult to move and store are a thing of the past thanks to the new Storigami FadeSafe Cushion. Sleek, comfortable and designed for easy handling, this latest innovation from Classic Accessories, the leading manufacturer of high-quality, benefit-rich protective covers and outdoor living solutions, offers a hassle-free alternative to unwieldy chaise lounge cushions.
As its name implies, the Storigami collection is designed to simplify and accelerate the folding and storing of outdoor living essentials – from furniture and grill covers to cushions. The new FadeSafe Cushion delivers on that promise by rolling into a compact coil for simple storage, while also providing comfort that contours the body and maximum fade resistance for long-lasting aesthetics.
"This new cushion combines the signature ease of Storigami with the premium durability of our FadeSafe fabrics," explained Brian Bozlinski, CEO for Classic Accessories. "It's a natural extension for the Storigami collection offering convenient storage, luxurious comfort and resilience to last season after season."
Made with solution-dyed fabrics for long-lasting color and vibrancy, and specially treated for water resistance, the Storigami FadeSafe Cushion effortlessly repels moisture and fading, as well as wear and tear. Other key features include: 

Maximum comfort and style – Using channeled foam, the cushion easily shapes to furniture seating, emulating the silhouette of any chaise lounge chair. A sleek headrest pillow enhances comfort, while the distinctive fabrics add a pop of color to any patio setting.

Pet Wants' specially-crafted, private-label pet food formulas are made in small batches with fresh, natural ingredients enhanced with vitamins and minerals for a complete and balanced diet in every bowl. Pet Wants North Little Rock is a mobile business that offers free, personal delivery to North Little Rock, Sherwood, Maumelle, Jacksonville, Cabot and the surrounding areas.

LITTLE ROCK, ARK. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 13, 2020
When Michael and Melissa Brown tried to find the right dog food for their five rescue dogs, they came face to face with the confusing world of pet nutrition. They knew they didn't want something packed with fillers and preservatives – they'd already lost two dogs to cancer – but even the higher quality food was stale and losing nutrients sitting on a shelf at the pet store.
After finding Pet Wants for their own dogs, the husband-and-wife team are now pleased to announce the launch of their new pet food and supplies business – Pet Wants North Little Rock. Pet Wants North Little Rock is a mobile business that offers free, personal delivery to North Little Rock, Sherwood, Maumelle, Jacksonville, Cabot and the surrounding areas.
"Our pets are our passion – they are members of our family – and we want to make sure they are getting the nutrition they need to live long, healthy lives. With Pet Wants, we know exactly when the food was made, what's in it, what's not in it and what makes each blend different. After learning about Pet Wants, we wanted to make the food and products available to others in our community, which is why we opened Pet Wants North Little Rock," Michael said.
Pet Wants' specially-crafted, private-label pet food formulas are made in small batches with fresh, natural ingredients enhanced with vitamins and minerals for a complete and balanced diet in every bowl. Pet Wants North Little Rock has multiple blends of dog and cat food formulas as well as healing salve, calming balm, anti-itch spray, paw wax and more.
Pet Wants has a money-back guarantee on the freshness and quality of the food and the company only sources the best salmon, chicken, lamb, brown rice and other ingredients available. There's no sugar added, no fillers and no animal by-products and Pet Wants never uses corn, wheat, soy or dyes, which makes the food great for animals with allergies.
Michael and Melissa have lived in Cabot since 2005 and they have both been in the medical field for more than 15 years. They currently have five rescue dogs – Hunter (12), Piper (10), Mason (, Daisy Mae (6) and Lucy (3). They had two additional dogs, Callie and Sterling, who died of cancer within the last few years.
"We were both ready for a career change and, knowing what we know about losing animals to cancer and the importance of quality nutrition, Pet Wants was the perfect fit. We are looking forward to spending more time with our animals and serving the community in a new way," Melissa said.
"We would adopt every rescue pet if we had enough space. With Pet Wants North Little Rock, we have an opportunity to make a positive impact on the animals in this area," Michael added.

Chuck Oliver of The Hidden Wealth Solution Broadcasts His Latest Message Urging Baby Boomers to Shield their Retirement Accounts from Government Taxes

LAKE MARY, FLA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 13, 2020
Lake Mary, Florida top financial and wealth advisor Chuck Oliver broadcasted his most recent discussion about how to protect your retirement from the new tax rules. On Saturday February 8th and Sunday February 9th Chuck Oliver broadcasted his discussion on radio stations in Dayton, Ohio, Phoenix, Arizona, Tampa, Florida, Orlando, Florida and Jacksonville, Florida. His message focused on teaching baby boomers and retirees between the ages of 55 – 75 who have saved at least $200,000 in tax-deferred accounts (IRA's, 401(k)s, 403(b)s, etc.) about how to thrive in retirement.
Oliver stated, "There is a tidal wave of taxation being proposed. There are several ways you can not only protect your retirement, but you can protect your future inheritance to your children. The Democrats are proposing a tidal wave of taxes including Medicare for all, free college tuition, Green New Deal, doubling the capital gains tax, imposing a growth tax, increasing the federal tax rates, adding an extra social security tax to FICA, adding a 4% payroll tax, these are just to name a few. These programs will raise taxes and will be very costly and will be paid for from those of us who have saved for retirement. If there was a time to save taxes, the time is now. When 45 million people are responsible for the almost 1.6 trillion of student loan debt that Bernie Sanders is promising is going to be forgiven, there are a lot of voters that will go out and vote pro socialism. Go to http://www.taxessaved.com and learn how you can get a Saving Tax Optimization (S.T.O.P) analysis. There may never be a better time to learn the retirement tax road you're on versus a different retirement tax road you can travel.

Request a tax savings analysis and receive my new guide, Retirement and Your Taxes, How to Protect Your IRA's from the IRS.

Oliver and his team of financial advisors have helped people for over two decades to address their financial uncertainties and develop a plan to prepare for as well as get through retirement. Oliver is a member of the Top of the Table, an organization that recognizes the top half of one percent of insurance and financial professionals worldwide. Some of Oliver's accomplishments include being a National Radio host, being a two-time best-selling author of "Power Principles for Success" Empower a Tax-Free Retirement Future and "Game Changes" Introducing the Tax-Free Business Owners Protected Pension Plan. Oliver is also an author of industry leading consumer educational books including "The Baby-Boomer Retirement Breakthrough" the unfair advantage of a S.A.F.E. and Secure Retirement, "What to do at 62" how to maximize Social Security Benefits and how to prevent benefits from being taxed and "My Debt into Wealth" how to be debt free while building wealth at the same time. For more on Oliver's accomplishments visit online at: https://thehiddenwealthsolution.com/charles-oliver
Oliver adds, "Retirement can very confusing and unsettling, particularly those who need help in understanding the SECURE Act recent changes. Education is the key. We want to increase people's knowledge so they can better plan before retirement or better plan in retirement. It's not tool late or too early. Improvements can happen now. We are very early in 2020 and well before the presidential election. If one has a IRA, 401K or a pension plan we can make recommendations. Social security benefits, Roth IRA's, Medicare premium management, flexible spending accounts (FSA), health savings accounts (HSA), adjusting your W-4 are all potential solutions that can offer tax savings.

Neighborhood Development on Bainbridge Island from the Imagination of Indigo Architecture & Interiors Invest in Community Lifestyle with Smart Designed, Built-to-Last Live + Work Townhomes Steps from the Water

SEATTLE (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 13, 2020
The team behind Indigo Architecture & Interiors and Realogics Sotheby's International Realty (RSIR) proudly present Bainbridge Island's most desirable new community, ROOST. (http://roostbainbridge.com/) Built on a foundation of top-quality homes with an investment in building a genuine community, ROOST offers a unique chance for homebuyers to invest in a brand-new home and/or commercial space, before it sells out.
"ROOST contributes actual architecture to Lynwood Center and to Bainbridge Island as a whole," explains Indigo founder and RSIR global real estate advisor Belinda Thornburg. "It values quality over quantity. It provides opportunities for community to happen and for memories to be made."
Offering high-end design, a lock-and-leave appeal, and sustainable construction that's built to last, the Indigo team is confident that their community is not only perfect for Bainbridge Islanders but also for those Seattleites craving that small-town feel and escape from the hectic in-city lifestyle, while maintaining close proximity to the metro area.
ROOST offers its residents and prospective buyers two main differentiators between itself and other Island communities. First, the quality of construction outpaces most new-build, stand-alone, and new development neighborhoods. Belinda Thornburg says she encourages prospective buyers to visit the spaces and explore the finishes, design, and proportions.
The development's other differentiator is its ability to weave a sense of community by creating gathering spaces, commercial opportunities, and a space for short-term guests. Within the development, residents will find a firepit area, sculptures, patios, benches, and gardens. "The human interaction will actually make it sing," says Belinda Thornburg. "In the end, we know that the best parts of ROOST will develop from something totally unintended."
Bainbridge Island has seen increased volume in new-build communities. Many of these neighborhoods are designed and assembled by teams off-island, however, with their island roots, Jeb Thornburg, Indigo Architecture and Interiors Founder and Director of Design, along with Belinda, offer insight that appeals to both the Bainbridge residents and those who might be newly exploring Island living.
They have proved that so far: ROOST is a three-phase development, with Phase I selling out in 2018. All of the owners from Phase I remain, without a single resale opportunity. The same is expected of Phase II, as customers are drawn in by modern design finishes and are ultimately won over by construction that is not only beautiful, but that is built to last, in the next of Bainbridge Island's rising neighborhoods.
Belinda and Jeb's partnership at Indigo started long before the business: Belinda first met Jeb in the fifth grade in Fair Oaks, Calif. Their friendship continued through high school when they started to date, and eventually, the pair attended California Polytechnic State University. While Jeb studied architecture, Belinda pursued interior design, and among other experiences, was tapped for a part-time job inside of America's most revered homes—Hearst Castle. Following college, Jeb grew his experience at a San Francisco architecture firm, while Belinda broadened her pursuits to international marketing, and eventually, the pair made their way to the Seattle area.
Searching for the property where they could build a home together when they arrived in the Pacific Northwest in the mid-1990s, Belinda and Jeb were instantly drawn to Bainbridge Island. As natural entrepreneurs, an opportunity arose to create a distinctive home for a client in Kirkland, Jeb and Belinda left their corporate positions and formed Indigo, allowing them to create a wholly unique space. From there, they built their business creating distinctive custom homes for high-end clients. When they start designing the community that would become ROOST, much like their own home and estates they'd been drawing up for others for years, the design aesthetics and desire for a close-knit neighborhood became the goal. For the location, the choice of Bainbridge Island's Lynwood neighborhood was obvious.
Upon completion of Phase II, ROOST will enter its final phase of construction: a modern-day camp with an on-site restaurant will take full advantage of the outdoors and allow vacationers to experience Island life like never before. Belinda and Jeb not only designed and developed CAMP but are rooted in the community and will stay on to manage the property and guests. It's a testament to their belief in building a lasting experience for the permanent residents in ROOST and the growth the tourism can provide the community.
ROOST has garnered praise for its design, sustainably built practices and was recently recognized as a top Insulated Concrete Form Multifamily Project in the United States. Phase II of the project is expected to sell out by late March.

Results of a new Freedom Debt Relief survey on how Americans feel about their finances show that they are maintaining a generally positive outlook on the state of their personal finances as the new decade begins – with some worrisome contradictory indicators.
Asked if they are better off today than a year ago, 43% said they feel the same financially, 27% say they feel financially worse off, and 30% say they feel better off financially. More Millennials (39%) and Gen Zers (43%) said they feel better off financially compared to last year, versus Gen Xers (28%) and Baby Boomers (19%).
More than half (55%) of respondents said they are confident in their personal financial outlook. Other positive indicators include: 

63% say they have a plan to achieve long-term financial goals

69% are confident in their ability to make major financial decisions.

56% believe 2020 is a good year to buy a home.

51% expect a tax refund from the federal government this year.

49% said their 2019 household income was in line with expectations. Almost the same number (47%) expect their household income to be higher this year.

Worrisome indicators 
At the same time, nearly 7 in 10 respondents say that paying an unexpected $500 bill would be problematic. Thirty-six percent have less than $500 in their checking and savings accounts (excluding retirement accounts). Almost a third (30%) of respondents carried a credit card balance for six or more months during 2019. Only 26% are very confident they will pay off their credit card debt this year, but 48% are very confident that they will pay it off in time.
Everyday expenses are driving credit card debt to a large degree. Of those who reported these expenses in the survey, the one that is the biggest contributor to credit card debt is groceries (21%). Almost half (44%) of those surveyed put groceries on their credit cards at least monthly. Of those who have carried a balance on their credit card, 26% say groceries are the cause; another 20% cite retail expenses.
In addition, many of those surveyed found that the following expenses cost more than they had anticipated in 2019. 

Food (48%)

Utilities (water, electricity) (39%)

Healthcare (37%)

Internet/TV (34%)

What would you give up to get out of debt? 
Respondents are, however, anxious to get out of debt. Two-thirds (66%) say they have changed their spending habits to avoid debt. Those surveyed said they would be willing to give up the following to get out of debt. 

Alcohol: 45%

Going out to dinner: 44%

Traveling: 35%

Coffee: 34%

Additional survey findings 
The survey also examines: 

Barriers to home buying

Use of tax refunds

Greatest contributors (expenses) to credit card debt

Expenses that were more than anticipated in 2019

Ambitions and emotions

"The findings depict a dichotomy between optimism and some critical concerns," says Michael Micheletti, director of corporate communications for Freedom Debt Relief. "Americans have a generally positive outlook on the state of their financial situation, and many indicate the desire and ability to improve their lives. That sentiment does not align with the inability to handle unexpected expenses, a lack of savings, and a reliance on credit cards for everyday expenses. These behaviors put many Americans' way of life at risk in the event of any change in personal or national economies."
Commissioned by Freedom Debt Relief, the online poll of 2,005 adults in the United States was conducted by Atomik Research Jan. 10-13. Data was weighted for age, gender and geography using the Census Bureau's American Community Survey to reflect the demographic composition of the country.
A downloadable copy of the survey's complete results, with breakouts by generation/age group, gender and income, is available.
Freedom Debt Relief 
Co-founded by Andrew Housser and Brad Stroh, Freedom Debt Relief is part of Freedom Financial Network, LLC, a family of companies providing innovative solutions that empower people to live healthier financial lives. For people struggling with debt, the custom Freedom Debt Relief program offers the chance to significantly reduce and resolve what they owe more quickly than they could on their own.

Squeeze 
July 9, 2020 
Squeeze first formed in 1973, shortly after Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook had begun their songwriting partnership, brought together by an ad in a sweetshop window. By 1977 they had made their recording debut and enjoyed a string of hits which lasted until 1982, the maturity of their songs outliving their initial burst of chart activity on the back of New Wave. Over the years there have been solo careers and occasional separations, but the Ivor Novello Award-winning songwriting duo Chris and Glenn reunited in 2007 to relaunch Squeeze and have been touring, writing and recording together since.

In celebration of its patients' accomplishments and in hopes of raising awareness of the effectiveness of weight loss surgery, BMI of Texas recently donated a vertical sleeve gastrectomy procedure to a deserving patient.

SAN ANTONIO (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 13, 2020
Obesity is now the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S., according to a recent study from the Cleveland Clinic. Recognizing that obesity is an epidemic, and much more work needs to be done so that people have access to preventative and treatment options, the Bariatric Medical Institute of Texas (BMI of Texas) recently provided a San Antonio resident with weight loss surgery and follow-up care at no cost in recognition of Obesity Care Week.
"At BMI of Texas, we are focused on helping patients transition to a healthier lifestyle which will ensure they not only achieve their weight loss goals but that they are able to maintain their weight loss long-term, decrease and even reverse the effects of disease," said bariatric surgeon Dr. Punam Patel. "In celebration of our patients' accomplishments and in hopes of raising awareness of the effectiveness of weight loss surgery, we were honored to be able to donate a vertical sleeve gastrectomy procedure to a deserving patient."
BMI of Texas weight loss surgeons Dr. Patel and Dr. Richard Englehardt performed the surgery in November 2019. Dr. Chris Sertich, a board-certified anesthesiologist with Star Anesthesia, donated anesthesiology services.
The patient, Lisa S., said she struggled with her weight for many years. "I raised two granddaughters while working full-time and it's time to take care of me now. I went to BMI of Texas because I was frustrated by my inability to lose weight, and the increasing amount of medicine I was taking to treat conditions related to my weight. Unfortunately the insurance I have through my employer doesn't cover bariatric surgery so I am beyond grateful that Dr. Patel and BMI of Texas chose me to receive the free surgery. BMI of Texas has the best bariatric surgeons in south Texas and their comprehensive program will help me adapt to a healthier lifestyle. I recognize that weight loss surgery is a journey and success won't happen overnight, but I am excited about my future."
Lisa continued, "I love the doctors and staff at BMI of Texas. I just love them. They are caring people. Their generosity has set me on the right path to changing my life and improving my health."
Obesity is a multi-factorial and complex disease, which is why BMI of Texas created a unique, comprehensive weight and metabolism management program to help patients maintain their health and weight long-term. Offering weight loss surgery and medical weight management, along with dietitians, behavioral health specialists, and a highly experienced staff, the BMI of Texas team is dedicated to creating an enduring partnership with patients in order to ensure their long-term success by providing care in a supportive, compassionate, and guilt-free environment. BMI of Texas helps patients achieve their weight loss goals and improved health through various surgical procedures including gastric bypass, Obalon Balloon System, LAP-BAND, duodenal switch and gastric sleeve, as well as a comprehensive medical weight management program.
BMI of Texas weight loss surgeons Terive Duperier, MD, FACS, Richard Englehardt, MD, FACS, and Michael Seger, MD, FACS, have been recognized by San Antonio Scene in the magazine's annual listing of the city's top physicians. Dr. Jennifer Seger, who heads up the practice's medical weight loss program, has also been recognized. The BMI of Texas doctors have repeatedly been recognized by their peers dating back the awards' inception in 2005. Dr. Punam Patel joined the practice in 2017 and brings a unique quality to BMI of Texas and San Antonio as one of the city's only female fellowship-trained advanced laparoscopic and bariatric surgeons. She is also experienced in the surgical treatment of reflux disease, including new procedures such as Linx placement.
About BMI of Texas: 
Founded in 2008, the Bariatric Medical Institute of Texas is focused on helping patients achieve their long-term weight loss goals. More information on the practice can be found at http://www.bmioftexas.com.

The historic one-acre venue on the Las Vegas Strip will kick-off the most romantic weekend of the year on Friday, February 14 with couples from around the world and the LVCVA "What Happens in Vegas" photo booth.

LAS VEGAS (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 13, 2020
The famous Chapel of the Flowers in Las Vegas today announced that 60 couples are scheduled to say their "I dos" on Friday, February 14, a fitting number for the Chapel's 60th anniversary, with many more expected to walk down the aisle during the three-day weekend of love. Chapel of the Flowers is also partnering with Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) to host the "What Happens in Vegas, Only Happens Here" photo booth from Valentine's Day through March 1st.

Award-winning Chapel of the Flowers has earned accolades from The Knot, Wedding Wire, Trip Advisor and The Las Vegas Review-Journal Best of Las Vegas poll for providing impeccable service at affordable prices in its elegant indoor chapels and exquisite outdoor settings.
The history of Valentine's Day might go back as far as A.D. 270, but the tradition of exchanging Valentine's Day notes began in America in the 1700s. Valentine's Day 2019 was one of the most popular days to get married in Los Angeles in 2019, a wedding tradition that may have gained traction in Las Vegas back in the 1950s or 1960s. Celebrities who have tied-the-knot on Valentine's Day in recent years include actress Salma Hayek, Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, Interscope co-founder Jimmy Iovine and actor Benedict Cumberbatch, making the trend of February 14 weddings more popular than ever.
Fans of Carrie Underwood may recognize the historic Victorian Chapel at Chapel of the Flowers in her music video "Last Name" and business mogul Sir Richard Branson served as best man for a UK couple recently. Glass Gardens, Magnolia and La Capella are other unique and upscale wedding chapels at Chapel of the Flowers.
All-inclusive wedding packages are still available for Valentine's Day and start at just $299.
"Valentine's Day is undoubtedly the ideal day to exchange vows for the most romantic of romantics," said Donne Kerestic, CEO at Chapel of the Flowers. "Whether it's an intimate elopement or an elaborate Bella Eleganza wedding package for up to 88 guests, our team of on-site staff members is fully dedicated to creating a ceremony that the couple will remember forever." 
Media is invited to attend Chapel of the Flowers between 7am and 7pm on February 14 to cover weddings and vow renewal ceremonies. Chapel of the Flowers is one of the only venues in Las Vegas with a dedicated staff of on-site florists, photographers, videographers, wedding planners and coordinators and a full fleet of state-of-the-art limousines and chauffeurs. Please contact the chapel at 702-735-4331 to provide estimated arrival time for news crew, or email arrival time to michelleg@littlechapel.com or media@littlechapel.com.

The current practice of allowing publicly funded adoption agencies to limit adoption opportunities to certain families denies children equal access to loving homes by restricting the resources available to potential adoptive parents and options for the placement of children in need.

GREENWOOD, IND. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 13, 2020
The Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Attorneys (formerly the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys ("AAAA")) is a national organization dedicated to the competent and legal practice of adoption and assisted reproduction law, and advocates for the improvement of adoption laws and practices. It plays a leading role in the development of laws, policies and practices designed to benefit the lives of all members of the adoption triad and the protection of all children and their right to a family.
The current practice of allowing publicly funded adoption agencies to limit adoption opportunities to certain families denies children equal access to loving homes by restricting the resources available to potential adoptive parents and options for the placement of children in need. These limited resources in many areas around the country underscore the need for wide opportunities to place children with forever families. AAAA does not support any laws or policies that limit the rights of children to find their "forever homes" – with whomever can provide a safe and loving home.
It is timely to highlight our resolution from April 25, 2015 which states:
Joint Resolution of the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys and American Academy of Assisted Reproductive Technology Attorneys on the Protection and Security of Children through Equality in Adoption, Foster Care, and Assisted Reproductive Technology
WHEREAS, the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys is a national organization dedicated to enhancing and improving the practice of adoption law and securing the best interests of children in foster care; and
WHEREAS, the American Academy of Assisted Reproductive Technology Attorneys is a specialty division of the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys, dedicated to the advancement of best legal practices in the area of assisted reproductive technology law in the United States and internationally, and dedicated to the protection of the interests of all parties, including the children, involved in assisted reproductive technology matters; and
WHEREAS, the missions of the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys and the American Academy of Assisted Reproductive Technology Attorneys (together "the Academy") include advancing the security of children through permanent adoption when possible, the protection of children through safe and secure foster care with appropriate permanency planning, and the recognition of intended parents as legal parents for those using modern medical technology to build families through assisted reproductive technology; and
WHEREAS, the Academy recognizes and acknowledges that its members have diverse personal opinions and beliefs, and the Academy respects the diversity of its members and does not condition membership on any particular personal belief system, and supports its members' independence in the practice of law; and
WHEREAS, the missions of the Academy are best achieved when all parents and prospective parents are treated equally, when all children have the right to be placed into and/or to grow up in loving homes, where sex, sexual orientation, race, color, age, religion, national origin, marital status, political belief, or physical handicap are not factors in determining an individual's qualifications to parent, and the people acting in loco parentis to children are, in fact, recognized as the legal parents.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys and the American Academy of Assisted Reproductive Technology Attorneys support the protection and security of children by affirming the right of individuals and couples: to adopt children, to serve as foster parents, and to become legal parents of children born through the use of assisted reproductive technology, regardless of sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, race, color, age, religion, national origin, political belief, or disability.

Inspired by the look of a coffee cup, the lightweight and portable Cuppa is the first to integrate full-body touch control technology with a cordless design – and can be easily carried and moved wherever needed around the home or office

DELAWARE, OHIO (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 13, 2020
After lighting up backers on Kickstarter, who invested more than $150,000 in the world's first LED lamp that integrates full-body touch control technology with cordless design, crowdfunding for the Cuppa cordless LED lamp is continuing on Indiegogo InDemand.
"We want to thank all the backers who made Cuppa such a success on Kickstarter, pushing presales more than 30 times higher than our initial campaign goal," said Cuppa Founder Kevin Smith. "We hope to reach even more crowdfunding backers on Indiegogo InDemand as we continue to promote the portability, simplicity, functionality and reliability of Cuppa."
Inspired by the shape and size of a coffee cup, Cuppa is a smart lamp that works without WIFI, Bluetooth, APPs, a smart phone or a remote controller – and features patent pending 360-degree 'Any Touch' technology that allows it to be turned on with a touch anywhere on its base. Being cordless and lightweight makes it extremely portable – and its available in three colors so it looks great with all furniture styles and home and office décor.
Cuppa has the following features: 

Cordless

Offers 360-degree 'Any Touch,' allowing it to be turned on and off from any part of its base

LED Bulbs, saving up to 80 percent in energy use and easy on the eyes

Features 'Stepless Dimming'

Waterproof

Flame - Resistant

Eliminates the risk of electrical shock

Weighs about two pounds, making it easy to move and difficult to topple

Cuppa is also equipped with a memory mode, that allows it to be returned to its previous brightness level. Both the memory mode and stepless dimming make it easy for users to customize Cuppa to their favorite light level.
The portable light also features Type C 'fast charging,' which means it can provide light for as long as 12 hours with a full charge (2.5 hours) – and can last for two hours with only 10 minutes of charging. Cuppa can also be charged with a power bank, which makes it the perfect back up lamp in case of an electrical black out.
"While there are other LED touch lamps on the market today, most of them come with either long cords that make your desktop messy or short ones that limit the lamp's use to specific areas...or they can't be used at all if there isn't a socket nearby," Smith said. "Cuppa solves all those problems, which is why we think even more crowdfunders will invest in this unique lamp on Indiegogo InDemand."
For more information, or to pre-purchase Cuppa at a crowdfunding discount, visit the Cuppa Campaign Page on Indiegogo InDemand.

We hope to reach even more crowdfunding backers on Indiegogo InDemand as we continue to promote the portability, simplicity, functionality and reliability of Cuppa.

Habitat for Humanity of Frederick County is pleased to announce Wiesam Shiekhi and Hanan Agha, parents to five children ranging from 1 to 19 years old, as the future homeowners of the organization's newest build at 211 S. Jefferson Street in Middletown, MD.
Wiesam is an accountant for a small local CPA firm and has worked hard to provide for his family. Hanan also has a BS in accounting, but currently stays at home to take care of the children, and as Wiesam told us, "is an awesome wife and awesome mother." Their oldest child is a college student and recently received his EMT certification, volunteering with local emergency centers as part of his plans to become a doctor. Their daughter is a sophomore at Middletown HS while taking courses at the FCC Tech Center to become a certified nurse. Their sixth grader is a talented artist with dreams of becoming an engineer. They are also raising a bright, curious 4 year old and 1 year old, who stay home with their mother and "learn something new every day." Wiesam and Hanan have long searched for an affordable way to become homeowners to provide a stable environment for their children. Wiesam first applied for a Habitat home in another county, but was in a large pool of applicants and was not selected. After relocating to Frederick, he sought out the local Habitat affiliate in August of 2018 to try again, and thus began the process that led to today's announcement.
Habitat for Humanity of Frederick County began the build at 211 S. Jefferson Street in 2019 with the backing of Build Sponsors and several local churches in and surrounding Middletown. RPM Construction donated the labor and material to frame the house in the fall and licensed contractors finished electrical, plumbing, and other certified work throughout the holidays. Meanwhile, Wiesam and Hanan were completing a lengthy USDA loan application process with support from Habitat to ensure a low-interest loan that will enable them to purchase the home at a subsidized price in order to achieve their dream of homeownership in an affordable manner.
Now that Wiesam and Hanan have been approved for the project, they will join volunteers from the local churches and sponsors on the build site and together finish building their future home. Habitat expects to complete the home, which is two stories plus a finished basement, in April.
About Habitat for Humanity of Frederick County: 
No matter who we are or where we come from, we all deserve a decent life. We deserve to feel strength and stability day after day. We deserve to know we have power to take care of ourselves and build our own futures. At Habitat for Humanity of Frederick County, this is what unites us. Through shelter, we empower. Our vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live. For more than 25 years, Habitat for Humanity of Frederick County has worked toward that by providing affordable home ownership solutions to hardworking people in Frederick County.

Mission: Seeking to put God's love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope.

Brendan Henderson, M.D., a Yale-trained and board-certified internal medicine physician, founded Modern Internal Medicine, LLC to provide outstanding access to high quality and affordable primary care. Through the Direct Primary Care model, the practice seeks to break down the major barriers to high quality health care: cost and inaccessibility. The result is a primary care experience reminiscent of the good old days when your doctor was afforded the time to listen to your concerns, got to know you as a person, and even made house calls. Founded in 2018, Modern Internal Medicine celebrated an official Ribbon Cutting in December 2019.
Modern Internal Medicine removes the barriers to accessing the doctor by returning all messages promptly, usually within the hour. Dr. Henderson offers same/next day access for appointments, home/worksite visits, and the appointments are relaxed and conversational - much like they used to be.
At the same time, the practice offers a modern, holistic approach employing modern therapies and lifestyle coaching designed to enhance wellness through better daily habits. Additionally, the option to discuss medical issues over email, phone, or video saves patients time and money otherwise spent traveling to and waiting in the doctor's office. For in-office appointments, Dr. Henderson promises little to no waiting room time.
With nearly 1000 Direct Primary Care clinics nationwide, this model has gained traction. Forbes magazine has published multiple articles extolling both the health and financial benefits of the model.
Rather than accepting insurance co-pays, Direct Primary Care clinics like Modern Internal Medicine assess monthly membership dues starting as low as $49. This provides up to ten patient encounters per year, free annual labs, and access to many other services and money-saving discounts. Direct Primary Care encourages patients to seek medical care early and often which has been shown to prevent high cost encounters including: emergency room visits, hospital stays, specialty referrals, and imaging studies.
Modern Internal Medicine breaks down the cost barrier by providing wholesale discounts to save patients money including: lab panels for about 20 dollars (retail $150,) medications for as low as $2 a month, and access to highly discounted CTs and MRIs. Often these prices are lower than those available through insurance, though patients still have the option to submit these items through insurance when needed. The cost savings are most pronounced for those paying for health care out-of-pocket: deductible to meet for insurance, medical sharing plans, and the uninsured.
In short, by eliminating the bureaucracy and paperwork associated with insurance, Direct Primary Care physicians, such as Dr. Henderson at Modern Internal Medicine, spend more time listening to and caring for patients and respond more quickly and more appropriately to patients' needs - just like in the good old days. And they do so at a fraction of the cost as compared to the traditional insurance model.
Dr. Henderson works closely with his Wellness Partners on-site including: Emily Henderson of Elegance Waxing and Spa, Michael Holda - Massage Therapist, and Joyce Kwamena-Poh - Natural Wellness Coach of Vibrant Life Self-Care Wellness.

Todd McClure, who comes from the retail side of the business of home Game-room products, founded McClure Tables in 1991, in 2009 he began to focus exclusively on Shuffleboard tables. Having experience in the retail side buying from manufactures as well as working at one time as a manufactures representative, he found that many game table manufacturers lose their focus trying to be a one-stop-shop. They think a Foosball table, pool table, shuffleboard, or Poker table are all similar products. When at the heart of the shuffleboard table is the playing surface and the requirements to make butcher block that is 3" thick and 12 to 22 foot in length requires expertise in hardwood glue up and processing equipment. For this reason, the majority of manufacturers only make cabinets and purchase the playing boards from butcher block experts. Not wanting to leave any of the processes to outside contract manufacturing and the want to control in house McClure makes everything in their factory.
There are over 30 different designs and styles of cabinets all custom built to order. McClure Tables even makes Authentic Rock-Ola Shuffleboard tables in the art-deco style famous on the original Rock-Ola Shuffleboard Tables made in 1948 & 1949. It is not unusual to use reclaimed beams or timber logs to craft the Shuffleboard cabinetry, and many customers personalize with their company logo or favorite sports team. The company is housed in a 24,000 square foot facility part of the McClure owned 38,000 square foot building.
    In the past, shuffleboard tables were phased out of the arcade bar and restaurant scene for space reasons, but now the game is seeing a massive resurgence in home theater rooms and company break rooms. Owner Todd McClure confessed that while the five employees at McClure Tables like to play, "We're more woodworkers than shuffleboard enthusiasts. We are purist, one of the few companies who make boards the old fashioned way." The thick hardwood playing boards they make use locally harvested hard Michigan maple wood and use a durable hard polyester finish are warrantied for a lifetime at home or five years for commercial applications.
Custom handcrafted, pride in woodworking, choice in sizes, styles, and woods, aggressive pricing, and creative customers who can buy directly from the builder-These factors set McClure Tables apart in the shuffleboard realm. You can find out more about McClure Tables and a complete resource of shuffleboard table information online at their blog.

Local St. Louis news station, NewsRadio 1120 KMOX, interviewed STL Beds owners Dave Belleville (father) and Doug Belleville (son) for their show "The Business of Family Business". Show host, Ryan Wrecker, dove into a discussion with the two about the company's history, key trends in mattress buying, and what it's like to work with a family member.

ST. LOUIS, MO. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 14, 2020
KMOX's podcast series "The Business of Family Business" features a variety of family owned businesses in the St. Louis area. In January they chose to interview the owners of STL Beds, Dave and Doug Belleville, due to their business' success and strong family ties.
The full interview can be found here: https://omny.fm/shows/the-business-of-family-business/stl-beds#description
STL Beds has been serving customers since 1986. They offer great prices on mattresses, bedroom furniture and waterbeds throughout the entire United States. Dave and Doug are professionally trained mattress experts with 50 years of industry experience combined. They understand the importance of a good night's sleep and have a passion for helping their customers find a sleep solution that's right for them.
Podcast host, Ryan Wrecker, asked a few different questions about the history of the company, trends in the mattress industry and what sets them apart from some of their competitors. Dave and Doug were happy to dive into the rise and fall of waterbed popularity and discuss current trends that they've noticed in the industry. One of these trends specifically is the rise of big bed-in-the-box companies. They explain that one of the key things that sets them apart from these popular online-only companies is the fact that their mattresses are made of high quality materials and they make sure to identify and cater to everyone's specific sleep needs.
"It's more than just getting the sale. The most important question to ask someone is 'How did you sleep last night?' or 'Is your mattress comfortable?' Most people really can't answer that question." Doug said, "Diet, exercise and sleep are the three most important things that we need to focus on in our lives and our business is based on one of those things."
They concluded the interview by discussing the future of STL Beds. Dave is looking to slowly phase out of the business and hand it over completely to his son Doug who is happy to receive it. They have found success in a niche market and look forward to a bright future of providing high quality mattresses and service for their customers.

It's more than just getting the sale. The most important question to ask someone is 'How did you sleep last night?'

Real Goods, the California-based original purveyor of off-grid living supplies, is alive, well, and powered by altE since September of 2019. Real Goods is in no way connected to RGS Energy, nor has it been since December 2014.

UKIAH, CALIF. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 14, 2020
Real Goods, the California-based original purveyor of off-grid living supplies, is alive, well, and powered by altE since September of 2019. Real Goods is in no way connected to RGS Energy, nor has it been since December 2014.
RGS Energy, a Colorado-based solar installer and solar shingle company has ceased operations and filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Given that the company spawned from Real Goods in 2002 (the "RGS" portion of the RGS Energy name was derived from "Real Goods Solar"), this has caused some confusion for Real Goods customers and other solar industry companies.
THE HISTORY OF REAL GOODS AND RGS ENERGY
The Real Goods Trading Corporation (Real Goods) was founded in 1978 by John Schaeffer as a brick-and-mortar store, selling off-grid living supplies in Northern California. That year they became the first commercial retailer of solar panels in the United States. In 1985, Real Goods began printing a mail-order catalog as its primary retail channel.
In 2001, Real Goods merged with sustainable lifestyle company Gaiam. In 2002, while continuing to operate its mail-order catalog and brick-and-mortar store for off-grid living supplies, Real Goods opened a residential solar panel installation division under the name Real Goods Solar. Two years later, Real Goods Solar added a commercial solar installation division.
In 2008, Real Goods Solar held an initial public offering (IPO) and began trading under the NASDAQ ticker symbol RSOL. Through holding 100% of Real Goods Solar's Class B shares, Gaiam maintained control of the company.
In January 2014, Real Goods Solar combined its residential and commercial solar installation divisions and rebranded under the name RGS Energy, changing its NASDAQ ticker symbol from RSOL to RGSE.
In December 2014, Real Goods founder John Schaeffer purchased 100% of the Real Goods name and retail/e-commerce interests from RGS Energy, divesting Real Goods from RGS Energy.
In September 2019, The Alternative Energy Store (altE) acquired Real Goods Trading Corporation assets from Schaeffer, and continues to power the Real Goods name and website. Real Goods expanded operations late last year, opening a new warehouse in Ukiah, CA.
Schaeffer remains Chairman of the Board of the Solar Living Institute (SLI), located within the Solar Living Center (SLC) in Hopland California. The SLI owns and operates the Solar Living Store, also housed at the SLC.
ABOUT REAL GOODS
Founded in 1978, Real Goods is the original purveyor of off-the-grid living supplies. Originally envisioned as a one-stop-shop where people could find everything they needed for their remote homesteads, the store began with the sale of the first retail solar panel in the United States and the humble goal of changing the world.
In September 2019, Real Goods was acquired by the altE Store. Now powered by altE, the Real Goods sales and customer support personnel continue to promote, sell, inventory, ship, and support solar energy solutions. Real Goods is Headquartered at 2005 N. State St., Unit G, in Ukiah, California. For more information visit their website at https://realgoods.com/ or call toll free at 800-919-2400.

MotoRefi, a fast-growing fintech company that saves car owners an average of $100/month via its innovative auto refinance platform, announced it has raised $8.6M in Series A funding. The round was co-led by Accomplice and Link Ventures with participation from Motley Fool Ventures, CMFG Ventures (part of CUNA Mutual Group), Gaingels and others. Rob Chaplinsky, Managing Director of Link Ventures, and Rachel Holt, former Uber executive and Co-Founder at Construct Capital, joined the Board.
The company, incubated by QED Investors, will use the funding to scale the team and invest further in its technology platform. It also plans to add new lenders and partners to help more customers across the country.
With auto loan balances over $1.2 trillion, many middle-class Americans are struggling with their car payments, and more than 90M Americans could save money by refinancing their auto loans. Strikingly, the majority of Americans aren't even aware that refinancing their car is an option.
MotoRefi offers a technology-driven solution with better rates and terms for customers. Its online process allows customers to receive offers in seconds from the comfort of their home. What's more, MotoRefi does all the heavy lifting, including paying off the old lender and re-titling the vehicle. Customers use their savings to pay off other debts, like student loans or credit card bills, and for fun, like travel or dinners out with family.
"I couldn't be more proud of the team and the mission-driven business we're building," said Kevin Bennett, CEO of MotoRefi. "Every day, we have the privilege of making a difference in consumers' lives by improving their financial situations. We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with trusted lenders to make that happen."
"I'm eager to bring my experience building Uber to MotoRefi's Board," said Rachel Holt, former Uber executive and Co-Founder at Construct Capital. "MotoRefi is transforming the world of auto financing. I'm proud to have been an early investor and am extremely excited about the team they've built."
With its industry-leading customer experience, the company maintains an "A+" rating according to the Better Business Bureau and is helping more customers through pilot partnerships with top national brands like ProgressiveⓇ, ChimeⓇ and others.
"We're excited to lead this Series A round because MotoRefi is leveraging technology and analytics to make a huge difference in people's lives," said Ryan Moore, Co-Founder at Accomplice. "The auto industry isn't consumer-friendly and MotoRefi is changing that. This is a tremendous market opportunity and we're excited to back a great team."
"As a fund focused on data-driven direct-to-consumer startups, Link Ventures is excited about how the MotoRefi team and its technology are going to help consumers improve their finances," said Rob Chaplinsky, Managing Director at Link Ventures. "In a world where the middle class gets squeezed and most Americans can't afford an unexpected $400 bill, the savings that MotoRefi delivers to customers is incredibly meaningful."
"We believe that MotoRefi is uniquely positioned to help make it easy for consumers to save money. We're thrilled to support MotoRefi's customer-first mentality," said Ollen Douglass, Managing Director at Motley Fool Ventures. "MotoRefi shares The Motley Fool's goals of empowering consumers to make good financial decisions."
"As lending continues to become increasingly digital, there is a significant opportunity to create better experiences for consumers and lenders. MotoRefi is changing the landscape with a tech-forward approach and increased reach and efficiency for our credit union partners," said Brian Kaas, Managing Director at CMFG Ventures.
About MotoRefi

Kitty Poo Club, the all-in-one subscription litter service, announced today key initiatives it will be launching in the New Year. After recording exponential growth since its inception two years ago, investing in these changes and additions will ensure the company continues to meet the needs of its current customers, while standing ready to welcome more of the 38 million households with cats in the United States who could benefit from its services.
Kitty Poo Club will be expanding its reach by heavily investing in growth. The company rang in the new year by unveiling an updated web site featuring increased product offerings. In addition, Kitty Poo Club moved into a larger, state-of-the-art facility and will be launching its first national broadcast advertising campaign.
"The cat litter industry is a multibillion-dollar industry with more than 90 million pet cats in the United States alone," Chad Kauffman, Owner and CEO explained. "That's why Kitty Poo Club has seen over 3000% growth over the last 18 months of doing business – and today we are doing 8 figures in revenue. We are committed to giving our loyal customers additional products and services to make life with their cat even more purrfect, while reaching out to the many cat owners who haven't yet discovered the life-changing convenience of Kitty Poo Club."
UPDATED WEB SITE: 
From the time it launched in October 2017, http://www.kittypooclub.com gave cat owners an easy way to become Kitty Poo Club members, and set up monthly delivery of as many litter boxes and as much litter as needed, depending on the number of cats in the home. Today, Kitty Poo Club subscribers can choose from a variety of cat treats from Tiki Pets, Primal or Stella & Chewy's, and food from Blue Buffalo, Fromm, or Acana - - all trusted brands for pet owners nationwide. The added product offerings continue to make cat ownership even easier by providing a one-stop shop for selecting and ordering kitty necessities and having them all delivered.
The updated http://www.kittypooclub.com also makes navigation a breeze. Newcomers can begin by visiting "How it Works" to learn how they can set up and enhance their monthly subscription. And because Kauffman knows that his customers spread the word about how easy and effective Kitty Poo Club litter and boxes are, they have added a rewards system to the site.
"We've learned that cat owners are not only loyal to their fur babies, they are loyal to their brands," explained Kauffman. "To truly publicize how easy it can be to have a litter box system that has no odor, 
requires far less cleaning and arrives at your doorstep, we knew we had to encourage our customers to continue spreading the word and sharing the love. Our rewards system does just that by giving our loyal fans incentives in the form of web site savings."
LARGER, STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITY 
To accommodate the ever-growing customer base of Kitty Poo Club, Kauffman recently moved the company from its start-up facility, which was a small warehouse built in the 1940s, into a modern 120,000 square foot space featuring the latest in manufacturing equipment. The new facility will easily support the warehousing, production, packaging and shipping operations of Kitty Poo Club today and as it expands.
NATIONAL ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN 
To date, Kitty Poo Club has relied solely on small-scale social media advertising, which proved to be incredibly successful. In just two years, the company has over 36,000 loyal and happy customers. Now, as they gear up to truly take the multibillion-dollar cat litter industry by storm, Kauffman is excited to embark upon an ambitious and targeted national advertising campaign.
The campaign will begin with 2-minute commercials that focus on how Kitty Poo Club is the solution to very real cat litter problems by highlighting customer testimonials. For the ad campaign, Kitty Poo Club has partnered with Santa Ana, California-based Script to Screen, a leader in the direct response television market. The first step of the campaign following filming and editing the spots, will be to run test ads to ensure Kitty Poo Club finds exactly the right networks and times that hit their target demographic.
"When we started Kitty Poo Club, my father and I knew we had something special," Kauffman shared. "Now we have perfected our litter boxes, added extra products to our easy-to-use web site, upgraded our manufacturing space, and we are ready and excited to offer up our all-in-one subscription service and product to the masses."
About Kitty Poo Club 
Kitty Poo Club is a Wooster, OH based all-in-one cat litter subscription company founded by entrepreneurial father son team Porter and Chad Kauffman. They created Kitty Poo Club because cat owners were desperate for a way to improve and facilitate cat ownership. Before Kitty Poo Club, cat litter management entailed driving to the store, carrying heavy bags of litter, and chiseling/scraping/hosing plastic litter boxes each month. With Kitty Poo Club, customers can choose from odor-free fine grain silica, regular silica, organic or clay litters and they receive a waterproof box made from 100% recycled content that can get tossed/recycled when the new supplies arrive at their doorsteps each month. New for 2020, customers can also order their cats' favorite food and treats to be delivered as part of their subscription as an added convenience.

The creators of Dullo Plus- a premium cotton pillow cover, supportive microfiber fill, and cooling pillow insert for a relaxing sleep experience—are excited to announce the launch of a Kickstarter campaign for 35 days starting, February 11, 2020. Cotton Shower has planned, developed, and shipped four different types of pillows over the last four years. Dullo Plus is their most advanced pillow to date
With optimal air flow, the Dullo Plus is engineered for cooling comfort. The 100% Premium Cotton provides extreme ventilation, compared to polyester and bamboo covers. The pillow is designed with short and thin fibers only. Microfiber fillers are highly water-resistant and breathable, allowing Dullo Plus Pillow to control humidity and temperature throughout the night. This cooling pillow insert holds three cooling packs that last 7 to 8 hours. The cooling pillow inserts uses a mesh cotton fabric liner that is water-tight, and the hexa-layered cover won't leak overnight.
The entire Dullo Plus Pillow is machine washable to ensure the pillow is always kept sanitized and fresh. Cotton Shower is addressing the months or even years' worth of sweat, dust, and bacteria that accumulated on pillows that are only cover washable. By utilizing silicone-coated microfibers throughout, the pillow holds its shape. Silicone -coated microfibers absorb micro shocks form the neck and shoulders to ensure comfort through the night. The silicone microfiber filling in Dullo Plus Pillow absorbs half as much water. Due to less water absorption the pillow dries faster, the pillow has water ventilation, and there is a less favorable environment for bacteria and germs to grow.
Dullo Plus Pillow is ergonomically designed with neck support tube, head support, shoulder rest, and pillow insert pocket. The neck support tube maintains the neck's natural c-curve shape when sleeping on the back. The small depression for the back of the head helps lower the crown of the head and allows the neck to gently form its natural c-curve. The sides of the Dullo Plus Pillow is a little higher than the middle to support the shoulders and maintain good posture. Also, the pillow insert pocket can be used to add neck support.
Visit the Kickstarter page to make a pledge to Cotton Shower's Dullo Plus Pillow ongoing campaign and secure your chance to try the coolest pillow ever for yourself before the campaign ends on March 19, 2020.

Oakland Zoo — Conservation Society of California is Taking Action for Wildlife by amending its own use and retail sales of single-use plastics, as global plastics pollution increases its threat to wildlife and the environment. The Zoo launches its #NoToPlastic public awareness campaign on Thursday, coinciding with changes in Zoo operations in eliminating many single-use plastics onsite, and with the goal of becoming nearly 100% plastic-free in the future.
Led by President and CEO, Dr. Joel Parrott, plans for the zoo-wide effort to phase out as much plastic use as possible was set in motion a year ago, as statistics of global issue demonstrated the urgency for change. He notes a 'defining moment' during a business trip to Taiwan in late 2018, where a museum displayed a necropsy video of veterinarians pulling what seemed like an endless stream of plastic bags and other plastic trash out of a killer whale's stomach.
"Plastic trash is everywhere, along our highways, in our creeks, and filling the ocean; posing a direct threat to animals globally. I'm proud to be one of the first Zoos in the U.S. to step forward and advocate for the elimination of plastics in our environment," said Dr. Parrott, President & CEO, Oakland Zoo—Conservation Society of California.
It has been over a decade since the Zoo banned plastic straws, utensils, and cup lids, but stronger action was needed. The single-use plastic audit began with many negotiations with multiple Zoo vendors in providing and/or sourcing alternatives to plastic, starting with the nearly 100,000 plastic-bottled beverages sold at the Zoo every year. The process took nearly a year, but progress was made. The Dasani water now sold at Zoo restaurants had never been offered in an aluminum can, and was newly engineered to be available at Oakland Zoo, along with an assortment of all canned-only beverages.
Popcorn went from a plastic bag container to a paper-based box, cotton-candy is discontinued until a sustainable container is sourced, and single-use plastic packaging was reduced by 60% in the Zoo's gift shop. A new retail section devoted to sustainability includes household items stasher bags, metal straws, bees wrap, and more. These changes have influenced some other AZA (Association of Zoos and Aquariums) zoos to evaluate their own facilities in single-use plastics.
Single-use plastic has also been eliminated from many from daily internal operations. From the Animal Care department to Administration, the audit instituted changes in animal food containment, phasing out trash bags, and upgraded waste sorting systems.
As part of the public campaign to inspire others to reduce their use of plastics, on February 13 the Zoo will unveil Washed Ashore "Art to Save the Sea" plastic-trash sculptures in Flamingo Plaza. Sponsored in part by Recology, a 100% employee-owned resource recovery company based in San Francisco, this new display provides the opportunity to tell the story about the direct impact humans have on the environment, and what people can do to make a positive difference. Washed Ashore, larger-than-life animal sculptures constructed from plastic trash washed onto Oregon beaches, uses the power of art to spark change in consumer habits.
Zoo partner, Recology, is working alongside global NGOs to put a California statewide initiative on the November 2020 ballot. The California Plastic Pollution Reduction Act of 2020 seeks to fund environmental restoration in areas that have been impacted by plastic pollution and provide funding for domestic recycling infrastructure. The measure would involve a reduction of plastic packaging entering the state of California and require single-use plastic packaging to be recyclable or compostable by 2030. The campaign is currently collecting signatures for the ballot initiative.
Every weekend, guests can visit the #NoToPlastic action booth in Flamingo Plaza to learn how to become more plastic-free in their daily lives, along with the opportunity to sign an anti- plastics pledge. This pledge asks guests to eliminate a form of single-use plastic in their lives, like straws, bottles, cups, or bags.
Along with the launch of the sculptures and onsite educational booths, the Zoo hosts monthly creek clean-ups, and February 15 marks the start of new monthly offsite #NoToPlastic clean-ups in local waterways and beaches throughout Alameda County, beginning with the Jack London Aquatic Center. Staff and the public will work in the local bay-destined waterways to remove the trash, including the ever-abundant plastics that harm wildlife.
Single-Use Plastic Facts: 

More than 70 million tons of single-use plastics are produced every year

Only 9% of what is put in a recycling bin, actually ends up being recycled. The rest ends up in landfills, the ocean, or simply dumped - and will take about 1,000 years to decompose

With 8 million tons of plastic finding its way into our oceans annually, there will be more plastic than fish in the sea by 2050

100,000 marine mammals die each year from consuming or becoming ensnared in plastic

Animals on land are being equally affected by plastic. Littered plastic bags, fishing wire and bottles commonly trap and entangle wildlife – 1 million sea birds are killed each year from plastic pollution
