Becoming a veterinarian is the number one career choice of tweens and teens; Vet Set Go contest offers three aspiring veterinarians an extraordinary educational experience. Online essay contest opens Monday, March 2; Entries due Saturday, March 28, 11:59 EST

ST. AUGUSTINE, FLA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 25, 2020
To help aspiring young veterinarians start now to pursue their dreams of becoming a veterinarian, Vet Set Go — the first and only community dedicated to aspiring teen and tween veterinarians — invites sixth through eighth grade students to enter the fourth annual "Become a Veterinarian Camp Contest 2020." The online essay contest will award three prizes for students to attend the Auburn University's Junior Vet Camp from July 12-17, 2020, at Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine, one of the nation's premiere veterinarian schools.
The prize package (valued at $835) includes camp tuition and room and board at the Auburn Junior Veterinary Camp in in Auburn, Alabama (transportation to the camp is the responsibility of the winners.) The contest opens Monday, March 2 at http://www.vetsetgo.com and closes Saturday, March 28 at 11:59 EST. Contest winners will be notified on or before May 30.
National surveys show that veterinary medicine is the number one career choice of tweens and teens and that one in every five students want to become a veterinarian.* "The love of animals is a passion that begins early," said Chris Carpenter, DVM, founder and president of Vet Set Go. "That's why we're proud to give aspiring veterinarians a chance to attend Auburn University's Junior Vet Camp to give them early access to the world of veterinary medicine."
The "Become a Veterinarian Contest" is open to students entering sixth through eighth grade in Fall 2020. With the help of a parent or guardian, students enter the contest using the official entry form available Monday, March 2 athttp://www.vetsetgo.com. They will be asked to complete a short online essay (300 words or less) that addresses at least one of these topics: 

Why they want to be a veterinarian

Why they love animals

What they have done to get animal experience or learn more about science

Contestants will be asked to submit a photo of themselves with a favorite pet or animal or doing something to demonstrate their animal experience. Every contest applicant will receive a free Vet Set Go "Become A Vet Quiz." The web-based quiz offers aspiring veterinarians a custom 19-page report with custom advice and guidance to pursue their dreams.
During the camp, contest winners will learn about veterinary medicine in classrooms, laboratories, and outdoor facilities. Curriculum includes learning about public health, food animals, wildlife, anatomy, x-rays, and first aid as well as valuable mentoring about veterinary science careers.
"Veterinary medicine is a calling, and at Vet Set Go, we believe now is the time to give aspiring veterinarians the resources they need," said Dr. Carpenter. Vet Set Go surveys show that 65 percent of today's veterinarians decided before the age of 13 that it was the career path they wanted to pursue.
"Yet because of their young age, it can be difficult for young people to find opportunities to gain animal experience or volunteer, which is a competitive factor for entrance to veterinary programs," adds Dr. Carpenter. "Our Vet Set Go contest offers a solution to this challenge by giving future veterinarians a unique opportunity to pursue their dreams — starting now."

Learn and Play Montessori, a team of leading Montessori-based preschools, has announced a new blog post about Centerville Preschools. Centerville, a neighborhood in Fremont, is gaining in popularity among Bay Area parents.

FREMONT, CALIF. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 25, 2020
Learn and Play Montessori, a top-rated program for Montessori preschools in Fremont, Dublin, and Danville, at https://www.learnandplaymontessori.com/, is proud to announce a new post on the trendy Centerville neighborhood in Fremont. Centerville preschools are receiving attention from a new generation of parents. Mothers and fathers in high-tech jobs might expect children to learn from 'tried and true' early learning practices. Montessori childcare can bring innovative teaching techniques to a nurturing learning environment. Learn and Play offers several preschools near Centerville that are great fits for busy Bay Area parents.
"Many new parents are looking for the perfect balance between solid values that work and new teaching methods. Children need both the opportunity to grow at their own pace while learning how to work well with others," explained Harpreet Grewal, director of Learn and Play Montessori. "Our preschools near Centerville exemplify a 'sweet spot' between what works for children and what we do to make their education even better."
Parents living around the Fremont California vicinity can review the new post on Centerville, California, preschool options at https://www.learnandplaymontessori.com/blog/centerville-preschool-options/. Centerville is considered an up-and-coming location for Bay Area families. The redeveloped area can provide both affordable living and proximity to work. The Centerville preschools are a short drive from several new housing communities for an easy drop-off and pick up schedule. Young urban professionals near Peralta, for example, may be ready to send young children to an educational daycare. For this reason, they can review the location page at https://www.learnandplaymontessori.com/peralta-fremont/. The Montessori program manages daycare, preschool, and kindergarten options for young children.
YOUNG FAMILIES IN FREMONT CA FIND CENTERVILLE PRESCHOOLS PERFECT FOR NEXT-GEN VALUES

Areas around Fremont, CA, are providing modern family-style developments to cater to the new generation of Bay Area commuters. After 'settling down' in a new home, finding the right daycare can be crucial to adults. One of the top Centerville Preschools may be a good choice.

Oral probiotics reinforce the positive bacteria in a pet's mouth and crowd out the unhealthy bacteria, including those that can cause gum problems and create bad breath.

TAMPA, FLA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 25, 2020
Poor oral health in pets is often the root cause of bad breath – and costly dental work and extractions. ProBioraPet, a safe, veterinarian-recommended oral care probiotic specifically developed for dogs and cats, offers help for both.
Developed by ProBiora Healthᵀᴹ, each scoop contains a patented, science-based probiotic blend which helps improve pets' breath and, even more importantly, their oral health between dental cleanings at the vet's office. ProBioraPet is formulated specifically for oral care versus commonly known digestive probiotics, which are designed to improve gut health.
"Dogs and cats experience very similar oral care issues that people do," says ProBiora Health CEO Christine Koski. "The same 'battle' occurs in a pet's mouth that humans also experience – good bacteria must overcome the bad. We all love our pets and this patented formula is proven. Simply mix the all-natural powder, which is tasteless and odorless, into the pet's food daily. It's one of the easiest and most effective ways to boost overall pet health."
According to the American Veterinary Dental Society (AVDS), 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats show signs of oral disease by age three. Without proper veterinary and home preventive care, pathogenic bacteria in the mouth overgrow and promote plaque and tartar buildup which can lead to periodontal disease.
Similar findings can be found on PetMd.com. Poor oral hygiene in dogs is linked to other health issues, including diabetes and heart disease, and it can even lead to a broken jaw. Dogs can be very good at hiding pain, and owners may not even realize there's a problem.
"The patented ProBiora3 bacteria enters the mouth and saliva activates the freeze-dried probiotics which attach themselves to the teeth and gum tissue," says Martin Handfield, M.Sc., PhD, a researcher who worked on the development of ProBiora products. The ProBiora3 strain establishes Colony Forming Units (CFU) of live, active bacteria on the surface of the teeth and deep beneath the gum line.
Oral probiotics reinforce the positive bacteria in a pet's mouth and crowd out the unhealthy bacteria, including those that can case gum problems and create bad breath. Plus, just like in humans, poor oral health in pets can not only cause bad breath, but also negatively impact overall health. Compromised oral health in pets has been linked to the painful loss of teeth, heart disease, cancer, renal failure, diabetes and is believed to be a cause of preventable premature death.

About ProBiora Health 
Based in Tampa, FL, ProBiora Health is bringing the science of probiotics to oral care by developing and marketing a complete line of proprietary oral care probiotics that are specifically designed to enhance oral health for humans and pets - because a healthy body starts with a healthy mouth!

Home Care Software Company That Processes More Than 12 Million Electronic Visit Verifications Annually Receives Significant Certification

WINTER GARDEN, FLA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 25, 2020
CareTime, a leading software company for the home care industry, today announced its certification as an alternative Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) vendor in the state of Ohio.
To receive accreditation, CareTime demonstrated the capabilities of its EVV system as meeting the standards set forth by the Ohio Department of Medicaid, a certification process unique to that state. CareTime has home care agency customers in 35 states and has offered home care software services to Ohio-based home care agencies since 2014.
"CareTime is increasingly a top choice for home care software across the country, and we're gratified to serve our Ohio clients in this way with solutions that provide compliance as well as increased efficiency," said Jared Schneider, CEO of CareTime. "This certification is a major milestone following a rigorous evaluation."
As part of the 21st Century Cures Act, which was signed into law in 2016, EVV was mandated to verify that home care recipients receive care at their home in order to provide proof for billing and to combat fraud.
The state of Ohio has a contracted EVV aggregator that accepts data from different EVV vendors. All EVV vendors operating in the state must be certified by the Ohio Department of Medicaid. Home care providers can select any approved EVV vendor to maintain compliance with the mandate.

In one of the few bipartisan applause lines of his January State of the Union address, President Trump asked Congress to support his "plan to offer vocational and technical education in every single high school in America." This bipartisan support for Career and Technical Education (CTE) is also seen in state houses and school districts throughout the US. But despite the popularity of CTE, concerns remain about the availability of resources for different CTE pathways, their relative status, and the degree to which adults working within schools are problematically sorting students explicitly or implicitly into different course-taking pathways.
February is Career and Technical Education Month, a time to better understand CTE education. Accordingly, NEPC today is releasing a policy brief, Tracking and the Future of Career and Technical Education: How Efforts to Connect School and Work Can Avoid the Past Mistakes of Vocational Education, authored by Professors Emily Hodge of Montclair State University and Shaun Dougherty of Vanderbilt University, and Dr. Carol Burris, Executive Director of the Network for Public Education. The brief examines the tension that has often arisen between the desire to link learning to post-high-school work and the desire to avoid low academic expectations for students perceived as unlikely to attend college.
The brief's authors explore the question of how schools might meaningfully support career exploration and preparation, while avoiding the tendency of prior vocational education to disproportionately sort students into distinct tracks by ethnic, racial, and/or socioeconomic characteristics.
After summarizing the history of vocational education and its relation to tracking, the brief describes how vocational education evolved into CTE, which has emerged as a variety of school-based efforts as also described in the brief. The authors conclude with recommendations for enacting CTE in ways that support the equitable distribution of educational opportunity: 

In whole-school models of CTE, school and district leaders should monitor enrollment at the school and program levels by student subgroups to ensure equitable access.

In comprehensive high schools, administrators should build a schedule that allows for participation in CTE electives without de facto tracking of students. Students should have access to a broad variety of coursework with minimal or no levels within subjects.

School district and state policymakers must ensure equitable distribution of resources across schools and for students across districts to avoid de facto tracking of specific subgroups of students into specific careers.

To avoid mistakes of the past that replicated social stratification, researchers should carefully monitor the racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic patterns of CTE in all of its forms.

INOX introduces the PD96, the industry's first commercial-grade sliding door lock that combines a built-in auto-latching and auto-locking feature with the ability to accomplish the five most common lockset functions: passage, privacy, entry/office, classroom and storeroom. The PD96 is a complete locking solution for sliding doors that allows architects, planners and designers to more easily incorporate sliding doors into their projects and increase the amount of usable space within a floorplan.
"A sliding door can save up to 30 square feet within a space as compared to a swing door, but architects historically couldn't specify them because of the lack of lock options for a sliding door," said INOX President Jeff Howes. "With the complete locking solutions of the PD96, architects can increase the overall value of a project for their clients by specifying sliding doors. This leads to more usable square footage and more space efficiency."
TWEET THIS: Premium door #hardware company @INOX_Hardware announces the PD96, the industry's first commercial-grade, auto-locking sliding door hardware. The new product accomplishes all five lockset functions of passage, privacy, entry, classroom and storeroom. http://bit.ly/PD96_Video
The PD96 uses the same basic lock case for the passage, entry/office, classroom and storeroom functions and the trim determines each function. Only the privacy function requires a different lock case. This flexibility makes the entire process from specifying to installation and replacement simpler and allows for the application of a customized function per passageway. In a healthcare space, for example, the PD96 can be installed on an exam room door in the passage function while a second lock in the storeroom function could be installed on a supply closet down the hall.
The PD96 is ADA compliant, provides emergency egress and is designed from 304 stainless steel to withstand commercial construction and application. It is available in several trims and comes in Satin or Bright Polished Stainless Steel as well as CeraMax ceramic-coating finishes.

SAN RAFAEL, CALIF. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 25, 2020
The Nike Volleyball Camp at Sacred Heart Universitysaw over 450 girls cross their courts last year and hope to help more during this upcoming camp season. Head Coach, Rob Machan, and Associate Head Coach, Kim Roleder, will continue to direct all of the programs at Sacred Heart University.
The Pioneers are coming off of an excellent season where they recently took the NEC Conference Championship title, made an appearance in the NCAA Tournament, as well as won the NEC Coach of the Year award. In the past 8 years, the Pioneers have appeared in 5 conference championships and captured 3 titles. Feeding off of their achievements, Machan and Roleder plan to use the high energy and competitive spirit during their camps this summer.
"We are extremely excited to be running the camps again for our 12th year," exclaims Machan. "We just finished off an amazing season and we want to use the momentum this summer by helping more players reach their potential in the sport."
This upcoming summer will feature the normal Advanced, Positional Specialty, and All Skills programs that run every year. However, this summer the All Skills program has added an overnight option in addition to the day option.
The Advanced program will be open to girls, ages 14-18, and will offer two sessions that campers can choose from. Here, players can learn from the Pioneers' volleyball staff in an intense and challenging setting.
Both the Position Specialty and All Skills programs will be open to girls, ages 10-18, of all ability levels. The Position Specialty will allow players to hone their skills in a set position on the court, while the All Skills Camp will focus on all aspects of volleyball and the fundamentals.

KidCheck secure children's check-in is pleased to announce its latest feature, Check Out Receipt Texts. Check-Out Receipt Texts provide organizations caring for children with an additional child check out option.
The child check-out process is just as important as check-in; and making sure any person picking up a child from a childcare setting is authorized to do so is a must. Check Out Receipt Texts provide another option making check-out convenient, fast and secure. It utilizes text messaging and mobile devices, which fits perfectly with today's mobile lifestyle.
How it works: When a child is checked in to an organization using KidCheck, the parent/guardian will automatically receive a text with a link to a unique digital check-out receipt and QR code. At check-out, organizations simply use a 2D barcode scanner to scan the code on the parent's phone, or complete a visual verification of security codes.
Check-out remains secure as the Check Out Receipt Text has a unique security code for that child's check-in and is only accessible on the authorized guardian's phone. If the person picking up is different than the person dropping the child off, they too can receive a text with the link to the digital check-out receipt. This is determined by the family.
"Check Out Receipt Texts is a fast, secure and convenient child check-out option for staff and volunteers working at organizations such as churches, gyms, activity centers, camps, daycares and other child focused facilities," said Alex Smith, KidCheck CEO. "There's no need to match tags, look up codes or check IDs, simply scan the secure unique code texted to the guardian's phone."
About KidCheck 
KidCheck, Inc. provides secure children's check-in software and complete check-in station systems for churches, fitness facilities, activity centers, kids' camps and other organizations caring for children. KidCheck believes every child deserves a chance to grow in a safe environment, and every parent deserves peace-of-mind about the safety of their children.

Chuck Oliver Takes to the Radio Air Waves with His Message That Higher Taxes Are Around The Corner Regardless of Who Wins the Election!

LAKE MARY, FLA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 26, 2020
On Saturday February 22 and Sunday February 23, 2020, wealth strategy expert and retirement architect Chuck Oliver President of The Hidden Wealth Solution broadcasted his newest message that higher taxes are around the corner.
Oliver stated, "We help Baby Boomers and Retirees thrive in retirement. To be successful in avoiding the "government gotchas" as I call them, one must be proactive and make changes to their retirement planning. Some experts are projecting that even with a 40% value added tax, plus a 50% increase in payroll tax, plus a federal tax rate of 70% for a top wage earner, it will not be possible to out-run the deficit we have as a country. With the continual threat of the Democratic party and whether it be Socialism Sanders or "tax em big time" Billionaire Bloomberg's philosophies, now is the time for Baby Boomers and Retirees to insulate their savings and investments from the IRS. I can't stress this enough. The closer we get to the November presidential election the less time one will have to make the necessary changes needed. We help clients have an actual proactive tax savings plan, not just an average traditional financial plan but a lifetime retirement managed plan that addresses eliminating taxes. Having a saving tax optimization plan, not just initially, but a managed plan throughout the changing of our politics and the changing of government programs. For years people have put the lion's share of their savings in tax deferred accounts like IRA's, 401K's, 403B's. We teach people about other options as opposed to saving or investing in tax deferred opportunities so they avoid being heavily taxed when it comes time to take a distribution or leave an inheritance to family."
Recently Oliver launched the 2020 edition of their "Retirement and Your Taxes Guide." This easy to read guide discusses the SECURE Act and the details of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. It helps Baby Boomers better understand the new retirement risks. Oliver stated, "Future politicians continue to propose selfish higher taxes through targeting retirement income from those who have saved strongly in IRA's and from higher inheritance tax after a retiree passes. The problem as we see it is that traditional retirement planning doesn't provide clarity or direction for protection from the impact of these ridiculous taxes. Our goal is to educate those approaching retirement so they can insulate themselves from the IRS and long term thrive in retirement. For years people have been encouraged to invest in a 401K especially those working for a company where their employer does a contribution match. With the uncertainty of which party will land in the White House in the coming years, it could be very costly for those who have put all their eggs in a 401K or traditional Wall Street basket. Now is the time to stress test and de-risk your investment portfolio. The recent third largest 1,000 point stock market drop in history and the out of nowhere Corona virus are an example of how unexpected volatility can impact retirement security. The closer we get to the November Presidential elections there will be less time to make corrections. Learn proven solutions that protect the downside and provide superior performance upside locked in and protected."
To receive Oliver's 2020 edition of "Retirement and Your Taxes Guide" Baby Boomers and Retirees are encouraged to request a Saving Tax Optimization Plan (S.T.O.P.) analysis by visiting online at: https://thehiddenwealthsolution.com/taxes-saved/.
The 2020 edition of this guide will offer greater detail into the new rules with regards to Required Minimum Distributions, income taxes on Social Security benefits, 2020 Federal Income tax brackets, as well as tax comparisons from 2017 vs 2018.

The World's Largest Swim School Franchise Opens Newest International Location in Al Manar, Saudi Arabia

MESA, ARIZ. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 26, 2020
Aqua-Tots Swim Schools has announced its 106th worldwide franchise location which opened in Al Manar, Saudi Arabia, on Monday, February 17, 2020.
Aqua-Tots Swim Schools has been the leader in the swim instruction industry since 1991, offering comprehensive swim curriculum for children from four months to 12 years old. With over 100 locations in 14 countries, families all over the world are able to experience the dedicated, year-round, indoor swim facility where their children can become safe and confident swimmers.

"We are happy to be giving back to the community by teaching children safety, confidence and courage around the water, and we're proud of the value that Aqua-Tots adds to communities all over the world."

"With each location that opens across the globe, we are reminded that families just want the same thing—safety and security for their children," says Co-Founder Ron Sciarro. "Children gain the swimming skills they need for a lifetime of safety, and parents get the peace of mind they desire as they raise their families."
With nearly 29 years of experience in the swim instruction industry, Aqua-Tots Swim Schools continues to take the message of water safety around the world with plans to open 20 more locations, both in the U.S. and internationally in 2020.

According to the latest Land Registry report – despite the uncertainty of Brexit – British property buyers are snapping up a record number of homes in Spain.

MARBELLA, SPAIN (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 26, 2020
In the 4th quarter of 2018, from October to December, 12.64% of all Spanish properties were bought by people from outside Spain – and 15.54% of these buyers were from the UK.
Similar figures were also reported for Andalucía, with British nationals accounting for the majority (22.49%) of foreign purchases in this specific region for 2018.
Such statistics suggest that Britain is still the biggest foreign market in Spain, with Brexit having very little impact on the number of British citizens showing interest in and buying property.
In fact, since the Brexit vote of 2016, the registry has reported a significant increase in the number of British buyers, with 9116 British sales completed in 2015 and 10166 sales completed in 2018.
Supplying the British demand at Bromley Estates
In line with this new data, Bromley Estates Marbellahave also seen a considerable rise in the number of Britons looking to buy a property in Spain since 2016.
Regardless of Brexit, it appears that British citizens are still looking to relocate to Andalucía – particularly Marbella – and have continued to seek the help of property experts to find their dream home in this region.
Bromley Estates is a leading real estate agency in the Costa del Sol and, to supply this rising demand amongst the British, they have endeavoured to keep their property portfolio up-to-date with the latest new-build developments and re-sale homes.
Director and Property Specialist at Bromley Estates, Hayley Bromley, said: "Last year, we helped over 350 international customers succeed in finding their ideal property and we will continue to provide an unrivalled service in this area.
"Now that Brexit has finally happened, the British market in Spain looks set to remain as strong as ever – and, as we head into 2020, we're prepared for the same steady rise in the number of British clients approaching us for help."
For help with buying a property in Spain, you can reach Bromley Estates Marbella by either calling (+44)208 068 7606 or sending an email to info@bromleyestatesmarbella.com.

Ideal Credit Union is proud to announce that Ideal CU member Jared Kula of New Hope, MN, a mechanical engineering student at the University of Wisconsin- Stout, has won a $1,000 scholarship from the Minnesota Credit Union Foundation Scholarship Council (FSC). A total of $12,000 was recently awarded to 10 credit union members in Minnesota.

WOODBURY, MINN. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 26, 2020
Ideal Credit Union is proud to announce that Ideal CU member Jared Kula of New Hope, MN, a mechanical engineering student at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, has won a $1,000 scholarship from the Minnesota Credit Union Foundation Scholarship Council (FSC). A total of $12,000 was recently awarded to 10 credit union members in Minnesota. Scholarships were given out to students in two categories: Traditional and Non-Traditional. Ideal Credit Union has been a long-time supporter of the FSC Scholarship program.
Over 800 students from credit unions throughout the state applied for scholarships. Applicants were selected based on their essays submitted to the FSC. This year's essay question was: What is your plan to afford the costs of higher education based on your anticipated degree and future career income?
In his essay, Kula wrote about researching colleges and weighing expenses, with a goal to graduate debt-free. He chose the most affordable, UW-Stout. "However, at $17,000 a year, for four years, I would still owe about $68,000. We then estimated that after my $4,000 of total scholarships, my parent's $8,000 contribution, my $3,000 worth of college credits from high school, and my $28,000 of saved money, I would still need approximately $25,000 by May of 2023. I am still working diligently to meet this goal. I am optimistic that as a mechanical engineer my entry-level job salary in my home State of Minnesota will approximately be $55,000 annually. With that, I anticipate little difficulty paying off student loans within five years," Kula stated.
"We are extremely proud of Jared's accomplishments and for receiving a FSC scholarship for his outstanding essay and impressive goals. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors," said Ideal CU President/CEO Brian Sherrick. Kula has been an Ideal CU member since 2002, when his parents opened a Bucky Bear youth account for him while he was still an infant.
Founded in 1926, Ideal Credit Union is a member owned financial institution that is dedicated to providing financial services driven by a sincere and personal interest in the needs of our employees, members and community. Ideal CU offers a complete range of services, including a full suite of digital banking products, savings, checking, loans, mortgage products, exclusive VIP member payback, business services, investment services and more.

Zach Slagle and Terri Cox represented the seller in multi-million dollar disposition.

CHICAGO (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 26, 2020
Matanky Realty Group today announces the sale of a 56-unit, value-add apartment complex in Wheeling, Ill.
Senior Vice President, Terri Cox, and Senior Broker, Zach Slagle, represented the seller in the disposition of 515-519 South Milwaukee Avenue. Located in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, River Trail Apartments is a value-add investment opportunity at the south end of Wheeling's famous "Restaurant Row," and north of the Chicago Executive Airport.
Slagle and Cox sold the property to NS Properties, LLC, a private, local investor who owns hundreds of units across Chicagoland. Though substantial capital is required, the pair was able to convey achievable market rents by showcasing the strength of this submarket. The buyer is eager to reposition the asset to better meet the needs of the community and maximize value.
Matanky Realty Group generated numerous offers, but it required tremendous effort to finalize the transaction. The narrow buyer pool, competing interests and a recent substantial increase in north suburban Cook County tax assessments, provided a challenge to this seasoned team.
"There are sizeable risks with any major redevelopment," said Slagle. "Terri and I pushed the value-add message and with that, we were able to find a buyer."
Upon securing the buyer, Slagle and Cox worked tirelessly through the closing. They leveraged key marketing materials, implemented a holistic selling strategy and even worked directly with the lender to close the deal.
Cox and Slagle are a proven team, representing buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants together since 2015. Cox's efforts have won her the title of CoStar PowerBroker of the Year in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018. Similarly, Slagle was recognized in 2017. The distinction honors the top 15 real estate professionals, based upon volume, market and industry.
About Matanky Realty Group 
Matanky Realty Group (MRG) is a full service commercial real estate firm specializing in brokerage, development, redevelopment, management and construction. Since 1955, MRG has offered clients national perspective while providing the individualized attention that only comes with a boutique firm.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 26, 2020

In addition to its cruelty-free and allergen-friendly benefits, ForA:Butter is more sustainable than dairy butter and features lower greenhouse gas emissions. This innovative product has previously won both the 2018 Sofi Award for Best New Dairy Alternative and 2019 Fabi Award for Best New Product.

More Than 400,000 Women In Virginia Live In Contraceptive Deserts

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 26, 2020
Research from Power to Decide shows that 407,310 women in Virginia who are already struggling to make ends meet live in contraceptive deserts, counties in which there is not reasonable access to a health center offering the full range of contraceptive methods. Currently, across the country more than 19 million U.S. women in need live in contraceptive deserts.
"More than 400,000 women in need in Virginia are faced with undue barriers to accessing the contraception they need and deserve. These women, who are living in contraceptive deserts, are faced with having to endure extra costs for transportation, child care, and taking unpaid time off from work – a luxury that most cannot afford," said Ginny Ehrlich, CEO, Power to Decide. "However, Virginia has alleviated some of these barriers through policiessuch as Medicaid expansion for childless adults."
Specifically, Virginia has expanded Medicaid to childless adults, and by extension, given them contraceptive coverage. In addition, Virginia requires insurance coverage for an extended supply of prescription contraception and allows Medicaid reimbursement for postpartum long-acting reversible contraception. More information about these policies can be found here.
"Virginia has made great strides, but even more could be done," said Ehrlich. "By enacting state policies that allow pharmacists to prescribe contraception and protect contraceptive coverage for the full range of methods, more women in Virginia could have more ready access to some methods of contraception."
Power to Decide is a private, non-partisan, non-profit organization that works to ensure all people—no matter who they are, where they live or what their economic status might be—have the power to decide if, when and under what circumstances to get pregnant and have a child. Please visit us at http://www.PowerToDecide.org or follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

Twenty years after launching the first cloud-based access control, Brivo sees a bright future of continued innovation ahead.

BETHESDA, MD. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 26, 2020
Brivo, the global leader in cloud-based physical security solutions, is celebrating 20 years of innovation in cloud-based physical security systems this year. Originally founded in 1999, Brivo began developing cloud-based access control solutions in 2000. At the time, the security industry was dominated by on-premise client-server technology which operated on Local Area Networks. Today, the Brivo cloud platform boasts over 20 million users in 42 countries, all using these services transparently wherever their assets happen to be located.
Having come from the dot-com world, Brivo's founders saw Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) as a better way to provide a multi-tenant access control platform that served both end users and integrators with greater functionality and better economics. At the time, access control customers who were already in the early stages of using browsers with an increasing number of business functions, the familiarity and ease of use of the browser interface was an immediate selling point. "The investment community has been watching Brivo and the cloud-based security space for many years," says John E. Mack III, EVP and Managing Director at Imperial Capital. "We see this as a model whose time has come, and that the rest of the industry will have to fall in line behind Brivo if they hope to survive."
For integrators, the opportunity to forgo on-premise servers eliminated one of the biggest drains on scarce field technician resources. "We surveyed dealers during the early days," says Steve Van Till, Founder, President & CEO of Brivo, "and they cited server-related software problems as the single most frequent reason for needing to do expensive truck rolls to customer locations. The opportunity to cut out servers provided immediate ROI. Most of those integrators are still working with us today."
In the early years, Brivo created a major foothold in the SMB space. Today, with the ongoing expansion of their platform, they have wide acceptance at the enterprise level, with over 200 Fortune 500 customers.

These 11 simple tips can help homeowners reduce their property loss risk.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 26, 2020
A home burglary takes place in the United States every 25.7 seconds. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigations, thirty-six percent of these burglars gain access to their victim's home by simply walking across the welcome mat and through the front door.
Before you rush out to purchase an elaborate home security system or guard dog to protect your property, you should know there are 11 simple things you can do to dramatically reduce the risk of loss.
1. Purchase home insurance. With a variety of homeowner coverage options available, you can feel safe knowing your home and belongings are well insured in the event your home is burglarized.
2. Get back to basics. A Safeatlast study shows that 85 percent of burglars are amateurs simply looking for an easy target. It may sound like a no-brainer, but make sure all door and window locks are secured before you leave, including second story windows.
3. A trusted neighbor is an extra set of eyes, so let them know anytime you'll be away from your home for an extended period. It's always a good idea to have someone watching for any suspicious or unusual neighborhood activity.
4. Your house should look occupied at all times. Use light switch timers to turn lights on and off periodically. Also, leave drapes and blinds in the exact manner you do when home.
5. Change the locks immediately if you ever lose your keys. Remember, a significant number of burglars walk right through the front door.
6. Get a bit more creative when hiding your spare key. The welcome mat is no longer a safe haven. Consider leaving a spare key with a trusted friend or family member who lives nearby.
7. Stop mail and newspaper delivery when you're away for an extended period of time. The accumulation of mail and newspapers is a surefire way to let burglars know your residence is unattended.
8. Keep all bushes, shrubs and trees trimmed. Burglars love to use lush landscaping as camouflage.
9. Don't leave any valuables in plain view. Burglary is often a crime of opportunity and window shopping is an easy way to pick a target.
10. Your home's security can be compromised in 140 characters or less, so don't broadcast your family vacation or upcoming business trip. This includes 'tweeting,' 'updating,' 'checking in,' or uploading vacation photos to social media sites until you're home. In fact, Safeatlast shows 65 percent of home invaders aren't strangers. Perhaps a friend on Facebook? Or a follower on Twitter?
11. Fight back by using social media to your advantage. Update your sites to give the impression that you are home. This can deter any potential outside interest in your property.
Employing these simple, precautionary measures and combining them with the protection you get from Mercury's homeowner insurance can help provide peace-of-mind that comes from knowing your home is protected.

It's always difficult for business professionals and families to know just how dangerous their commutes are, and all of us at Patterson Law Group are excited to announce our new Texas commute risk calculator!
Our route risk calculator creates a complex grid of the entire state that utilizes an assortment of Texas car accident statistics to determine each grid square's safety score. Each square is comparatively scored based upon the number of car accidents that occurred in that specific area within the last year.
Travis Patterson, Founder & Personal Injury Attorney, shares his insights to creating the calendar, "Texas has a vast majority of commuters. It's essential to give them safe and reliable route options. That's why we created this Route Risk Calculator. It is designed to provide Texas commuters access to the safest route possible and allow our community to understand and prevent risky driving."
Anyone can now plug in starting and destination points anywhere throughout Texas and receive a route risk grade that is the result of the totaling and averaging of each grid square along the selected route. The grading scale goes from A-F, with A being the safest and F being the least safe.
The possibilities pertaining to this technological advancement are very exciting as potential homebuyers, business owners, family providers and really anyone with a car can now obtain a more thorough understanding in terms of the safety of their current commutes. The route risk calculator can of course also help any potential commute a family is considering.
Parents can now know how dangerous the roads are in between their home and their children's school, and ultimately the route risk calculator can help Texans everywhere in better determining the safest places to drive on a daily basis.
Patterson Law Group's personal injury lawyers know all too well about the dangers associated with Texas' roadways, and we know how this new technology can truly make a difference in terms of helping people all across the state in implementing safe route choices each and every day.
It goes without saying that this route risk calculator can't help you avoid negligent drivers and traffic delays altogether, but it will ultimately make a major difference in helping people know what personally relevant roadways are safest, and which ones are best worth avoiding!
Making Texas' roadways safer is an endless initiative, but the route risk calculator offers a new opportunity for drivers to more appropriately choose their commutes prior to getting behind the wheel.
Keeping you and your family safe on a daily basis is always on people's minds, and you'll ultimately go through unnecessary endangerment when you aren't exactly sure how to get from Point A to Point B throughout your daily life besides going on dangerous roadways. This new technology will give everyone in Texas more freedom in choosing safer commutes and keeping their loved ones safe!
Patterson Law Group has helped countless accident victims throughout our firm's history, and we'll be there for you or your loved one in the instance that you're involved in an accident that was caused by someone else's negligence.
Contact us today for a free consultation so we can help you better determine your safest commute, and answer any questions you may have about our legal services!

The National Foundation for Credit Counseling joins other companies, organizations and individuals throughout the nation to encourage all Americans to grow their personal savings.

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 26, 2020
The National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) is proud to support America Saves WeekFebruary 24-29, 2020. America Saves provides an annual opportunity for organizations to promote good savings behavior and a chance for individuals to assess their own saving status. "As debt loads continue to increase for many Americans it is important that consumers remain focused on their savings goals," said Bruce McClary, spokesperson for the NFCC. "Having sufficient savings can help people break their dependency on debt and avoid the stress related to high interest and payments."
NFCC and member agencies are helping promote a culture of savings in a variety of ways including financial education workshops, social media, community events, and through one-on-one financial counseling. Each year, participating NFCC members encourage individuals to take the savings pledge by stating their goals and committing to build wealth over time. Everyone is encouraged to start by visiting the Take the Pledge page on the America Saves website.
While there are signs of improvement, Americans of all income levels can do more to grow their personal savings. Based on the results of the most recent NFCC Financial Literacy Survey, slightly more than one in four Americans say they are saving more compared to last year. "We are seeing clear signs of progress in the area of savings as fewer people say they are saving less than during the prior year," continued McClary. "the fact remains that the United States continues to rank below the top ten nations for personal savings as a percentage of GDP." According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the United States ranks 12th in the world as households are projected to save only 6.88% of their income in 2020.
America Saves was founded in 2001 to encourage non-saving Americans to save through a social marketing approach. Close to 1,000 nonprofit, government and corporate organizations – including many NFCC Member Agencies – in communities throughout the nation participate in America Saves Week and have successfully encouraged and assisted hundreds of thousands of savers through the years.
About NFCC 
Founded in 1951, the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) is the nation's first and largest nonprofit dedicated to improving people's financial well-being. With a national network of member offices serving 50 states and Puerto Rico, our NFCC Certified Credit Counselors are financial advocates, empowering millions of consumers to take charge of their finances through one-on-one financial reviews that address credit card debt, student loans, housing decisions and overall money management.

Puffy, the home of America's Most Comfortable Mattress, has unveiled the Puffy Royal Mattress, engineered to deliver an unrivaled balance of targeted support, temperature regulation, and comfort.
The Puffy Royal joins Puffy's suite of cloud comfort cooling mattresses as the highest-caliber model in the range - creating a benchmark in comfort and climate adaptability.
"We are incredibly excited to offer our customers superior comfort and a new level of support with the release of the Puffy Royal. This is our most advanced memory foam mattress to date. When conceptualizing the product, we intended to create a mattress that delivers on comfort and support at an accessible price point. I'm proud our teams have achieved just this," said Arthur Andreasyan, CEO at Puffy.
Five Layers of Superior Comfort
Five layers of premium memory foam combine to create luxurious rejuvenation. The Puffy Royal mattress measures at 14 inches high and is available in all US mattress sizes from Twin to Cal King.
Each of the five layers offers tailored comfort: 

The first layer is infused with cooling beads that reduce heat retention within the mattress and assist with dispersing heat away from the body.

The second layer of premium memory foam is designed with just enough reflexive bounce to support the body with every movement.

The third layer of the Puffy Royal helps regulate heat in every season with the same advanced cooling properties as the Puffy Lux.

The fourth layer is designed with SMT Sectional Cloud Technology to provide five cloud zones of targeted relief.

The 5th layer is a solid 7-inch memory foam base; it is the most durable and supportive base layer in the Puffy range.

The Puffy Royal supports sleepers of all weight classes with consistent support from the center to the edge of the mattress.
SMT Technology: Sectional Zoned Support
Dynamic SMT Technology means the Puffy Royal memory foam mattress features five-sectioned zones.
Each zone of the mattress is engineered to support the particular body part that lays on it. The head, neck, shoulders, and feet will notice a softer feel than the lower back.
The Puffy Royal's innovative design can assist with providing support to the spine and key pressure points making it an exceptional choice for sleepers who experience joint and muscular pain.
"The SMT Layer is the standout feature of the Puffy Royal. It delivers a truly bespoke sleep experience in comfort, style, and support," said Andreasyan.
State-of-the-art Cooling Mattress
The Puffy Royal Mattress has several heat-regulating properties precisely positioned to help the body cool down naturally.
The top layer of the Puffy Royal is infused with cooling beads and is designed to eliminate heat retention. Combined with a unique cloud design on the second layer, air flows seamlessly reducing the chance of overheating.
The Puffy Royal is the best mattress for undisturbed sleep all year round.
Try the Puffy Royal for 101 Nights
Like all Puffy products, the Puffy Royal can be purchased and trialed for a full 101 Nights. If customers do not love the luxurious comfort, Puffy offers a full refund within the trial period.
As well as a 101 Night Sleep Trial, all Puffy Products also come with free shipping, a lifetime warranty, and mattress financing options. The Puffy Royal Mattress is available now at https://puffy.com/products/puffy-royal-mattress.

Using the IronPro kit from L.J. Smith Stair Systems, homeowners can easily swap out wooden balusters for iron balusters in just a few hours.

BOWERSTON, OHIO (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 26, 2020
It doesn't get easier than this. Cut and hammer out an old wood baluster from your stairway system. Then replace it with a decorative iron baluster. Repeat in a pattern that works for your home's style. That's how simple it is to transform a staircase in one afternoon.
Whether you replace all the wooden balusters or leave some in to mix with the new designer iron balusters, upgrading the look of a stairway system can be done in just a few hours with the IronPro system.
Fast Fix for the Home 
When homeowner Suzannah Stanley started looking at changing the second floor stairway system in her older home, she turned to the IronPro system from L.J. Smith Stair Systems.
"We have a toddler at home and I wouldn't allow him on the second floor because the balusters were placed too far apart," says Stanley, an influencer who wrote about her experience on her site, Create/Enjoy. "As he grew, so did our concern about the hazards of the stairway. So we looked into repositioning and replacing the balusters. The option of using the IronPro system made it exceptionally fast and easy.
"In one afternoon we replaced the balusters but kept the structural aspect of the stairway. The IronPro level kit includes both a pivoting top piece and a stationary bottom piece. That made it easy to install the iron baluster style we wanted.
"This turned out to be a really affordable project. We gained peace-of-mind by having the balusters relocated. At the same time, we enhanced the way the entire stairway looked by keeping the wood handrail and adding the iron balusters."
New Stairway Look with Minimal Effort 
According to the experts at L.J. Smith, if you can use a tape measure, a drill and a few common tools, you can easily swap out dated wooden balusters and gain a trendy new look.
After removing the existing baluster, the pivoting fasteners of the IronPro are attached to the handrail. Then the new iron baluster is measured and cut. The iron baluster is then inserted into the pivot fastener and swung into a vertical position. The assembly is aligned and screwed into place to secure the baluster. It's that easy.
Homeowners can replace all or just a few of their old wooden balusters. Some choose to swap out every other baluster or even every third baluster. It's just a matter of what kind of finished look they're interested in creating for their personal space.
Kits for Open Tread and Kneewall Stairways 
Two different IronPro kits are available from L.J. Smith, both featuring products in Satin Black. For an open tread stairway, the IronPro Level Kit includes a ball adaptor, round and rectangular sockets, a base collar, a threaded disk and centering plugs. For a kneewall stairway, the IronPro Kneewall Kit includes a ball adaptor, threaded ball adaptor, round and rectangular sockets and centering plugs.
One IronPro kit is needed for each baluster replacement in a stairway system. L.J. Smith offers 35 different ½" solid and hollow iron baluster styles as replacement options when using the IronPro kit.
L.J. Smith products --- including wooden and ornamental iron balusters, stainless steel cable and tube infills, metal panels, newel posts, hand rails and accessories --- are all defined by their unique designs, uncompromised durability and good looks. Owned by NOVO Building Products, the industry's leading manufacturer and distributor of mouldings, stair parts, doors and specialty millwork, L.J. Smith is based in Bowerston, Ohio. For more information, visit http://www.ljsmith.com or call 740-269-2221.

Iron balusters from L.J. Smith Stair Systems can be installed in just hours using the IronPro kit. Structural aspects of the stairway stay in place; new iron balusters are added quickly and easily.

Cleaning tips by Cleaningsure - how to kill germs at home and the best way to clean after illness.

LONDON (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 27, 2020
Household germs cause serious health problems, especially in cold weather when people stay indoors most of the time. Viruses tend to spread in closed spaces where people are in close contact, making regular cleaning and good hygiene especially important. Here are some tips to beat household germs, prevent the spread of viruses, and stay healthy during the winter months.
Focus on Areas Where Germs Hide
Germs not only spread from one person to another but by touching contaminated surfaces. Some areas around the house contain more germs and require extra care, especially areas with high traffic and those that get touched more often. Some of the places where bacteria hide are the computer keyboard, kitchen sink, cutting board, and washing machine. Other bacterial hotspots to focus on are the kitchen counters, bathroom faucet handles, coffee maker, pet bowl, and toothbrush holders. One study by NSF International found out that cutting boards, countertops, kitchen sinks, and dish rags and sponges have the highest germ count around the house.
Common bacteria found at home are Pseudomonas, E. coli, and Streptococcus Mutans. E. coli is often found on fruits and vegetables such as apples, tomatoes, and lettuce but researchers also found thriving communities on kitchen surfaces such as counters, appliance handles, and faucets. In fact, any surface that people touch with dirty hands may become a bacterial hotspot. If you are panicking already and your kitchen or bathroom is in a dire state, you may want to contact professional cleaners and ask for a deep clean. Otherwise, you can try some tested home cleaning formulas that can effectively eliminate germs of different kinds.
Types of Cleaners to Use
Hot water and soap help eliminate grime and dirt as well as some germs but you can also use disinfectants. First use water and soap to remove dirt and spills and then apply disinfectant. You can either use a multi-purpose disinfectant or make one yourself by mixing ½ cup of bleach into a 1 gallon /4 litres/ of water. Use a spray bottle to spray on contaminated surfaces and leave for about 5 minutes. Then wipe down with a clean cloth and let it air dry.
Some products found in your pantry are also effective in killing germs. White vinegar, for example, can be used to eliminate Shigella, Salmonella, and E. coli according to assistant professor Donna Duberg from the Saint Louis University. Vinegar can also be combined with essential oils such as basil, thyme, and rosemary. Basil, for example, has been found to eliminate Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli. Avoid essential oils if you or any of your family members have allergies or asthma, however, as they are known to aggravate symptoms and trigger asthma attacks.
Other products that can be used to reduce germs include hydrogen peroxide and lemon. Keep in mind that hydrogen peroxide is not effective against staphylococci as they break it down to oxygen and water. Lemon is also less effective than commercial grade cleaners and homemade vinegar solutions.
Cleaning after Flu
If someone had the flu recently, you may want to launder all clothing, blankets, and sheets that have been used or touched. Make sure that you launder on high heat to destroy virus cells. Run laundry through the dryer, including comforters and pillows. Clean floors with a steam mop or if you don't have one, you can use professional cleaning services to clean your carpets and hardwood floors. Use antimicrobial solutions to disinfect all surfaces but make sure that they are approved for use against noroviruses, including Influenza A virus. Some people also use tea tree oil and vinegar but homemade solutions are not as effective in killing norovirus. Again, essential oils must be avoided in homes with allergy and asthma sufferers. The surfaces and areas that you should disinfect include the window parts, lamp switches and lamps, faucets, and door handles, knobs, and fronts.
Other surfaces to clean after flu are recommended by Cleaningsure are: 
*Dishwasher, oven, freezer and fridge handles 
*Buttons and oven knobs 
*Humidifier knobs 
*Radiator valves 
*Thermostats 
*Toys 
*Phones 
*Keyboard 
*Remote control
Make sure that you clean all surfaces which get touched a lot, including the kitchen counters and appliances.Alternatively you can use professional cleaning company as Cleaningsure.
Viruses are known to live the longest on non-porous, hard surfaces such as railings, door knobs, and light switches. These should be disinfected regularly during an illness. Wipe down with a disinfectant and microfiber cloth to kill germs. 
In general, anything that is frequently touched should be cleaned, especially if you have young children. The bathroom requires extra care as bodily fluids are known to transmit the flu virus. If you have several bathrooms in your house, infected family members can use a separate bathroom. And if you feel weak after the flu and are short of time with tasks piling on your list, you may want to contact local cleaners to help you disinfect and clean your house.
What Else to Do
To keep your home safe and healthy, it is important to keep bacteria at bay. Many bacteria are harmless but others can be a health hazard, especially for persons with compromised immune systems. Leading pathologist and microbiologist Philip Tierno recommends changing towels after every three uses even if you are not sick. Towels quickly become hotspots for bacteria, especially if you keep them in the bathroom where air is moist. They also have urinary and saliva secretions, dead skin cells, and fungi. If you notice any odour, this is a sign of bacterial growth. Bed sheets should also be changed frequently or at least once a week. Dust mites and other allergens found on bed sheets cause asthma symptoms and exacerbate allergies. Using water-proof allergy barriers on pillows and mattresses also helps. In fact, a recent study published in Allergy found that 4 to 17 fungi species live on synthetic and feather pillows. Finally, regular hand washing is the key to protecting yourself from viruses, especially before touching your face and eating.

Leading sports betting affiliates acquire New York's largest independent sports website.

DOYLESTOWN, PA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 27, 2020
CB Sports LLC, owner of popular Philly-based website CrossingBroad.com, and Warwick Gaming LLC, owner of PASportsbooks.com and BetNewJersey.com, announce the acquisition of EliteSportsNY.com, a popular New York sports digital media property.
CB Sports and Warwick Gaming have formed a jointly-owned holding company, CBWG Media Group LLC, to acquire EliteSportsNY.com and its associated digital media assets, including social media accounts, email lists, and network of podcasts.
The acquisition will advance the growth strategy of CB Sports and Warwick Gaming into the highly-coveted New York-New Jersey sports market.
"I am thrilled to expand our footprint outside of Philly," said Crossing Broad founder and editor Kyle Scott. "For years, we've entertained the idea of growing CB outside our local market, but starting a new site from scratch in a sports-crazed market like New York would have proven to be a very difficult task. With Elite Sports NY, we acquire a premium digital media property with a substantial audience. Our plan is to keep everything that makes Elite Sports NY a must-visit destination for New York sports fans, and layer on our CB method for growing the audience and monetizing content."
"At Warwick Gaming, our core competency is rapidly growing online businesses through a targeted digital marketing approach," said Warwick Gaming founder Jason Ziernicki. "Elite Sports NY instantly becomes the largest site in our portfolio, and is exceedingly well-positioned to capitalize on the rapid rollout of legal sports betting in the United States."
EliteSportsNY.com averages over 375,000 monthly readers with over 20,000 followers across various social media platforms. It has credentialed writers with New York's largest professional sports teams, including the Yankees, Giants, Jets, Knicks, and others.
Elite Sports NY was founded by Robby Sabo in 2015 and has quickly become New York's largest independent sports media property.
"I'm thrilled to have CBWG Media take control of Elite Sports NY," Sabo said. "Ensuring a quality company and quality leaders took control after myself was my top priority, and both Kyle Scott and Jason Ziernicki fit the bill. ESNY has provided many individuals a platform to showcase their talent and I look forward to what CBWG has in store for the site moving forward. I could not be prouder of everybody on the ESNY team."
"The job Robby has done in growing his site so quickly is nothing short of remarkable," Scott said. "From someone who knows what it's like to grow an audience in a highly-competitive sports market, I'm blown away by what Robby has done to build an outlet with arguably the best NY sports coverage on the planet."
CBWG Media will immediately take over operation of Elite Sports NY and promote writer Danny Small into a more comprehensive role overseeing the day-to-day operation of the site.
Sabo will remain with the site for a period of time to ease the transition.
"It's important for us to expand upon what Robby has built, not change it," Ziernicki said. "Elite Sports NY readers and followers should notice little change in the type of coverage they see— in fact, they should see expanded coverage of their favorite teams."
With the acquisition, the combined efforts of CB Sports and Warwick Gaming will have an audience of over 650,000 monthly unique visitors, largely concentrated in the Northeast.
About CrossingBroad.com 
CrossingBroad.com is Philly's most popular independent sports website and has an audience of over 250,000 local sports fans. Founded in 2009, the site has broken countless local and national sports stories, and has covered all sides of the fantasy, DFS and sports betting industries. Crossing Broad produces extensive video podcast content covering Philly sports and betting. The site's credentialed writers cover the Eagles, Phillies, Sixers, Flyers and Union.

Elite Sports NY instantly becomes the largest site in our portfolio, and is exceedingly well-positioned to capitalize on the rapid rollout of legal sports betting in the United States.

Star Renewable Energy Director received the award in recognition of his tireless work in the promotion and advancement of industrial heat pump technology that fights climate change

LONDON (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 28, 2020
Director of Star Renewable Energy, Dave Pearson, was named winner of the J & E Hall Gold Medal at the Institute of Refrigeration Annual Dinner last night. The award was particularly meaningful as Dave follows in the footsteps of his father Forbes, who won the award in 1991, and his brother Andy, who was presented with the accolade back in 2006.
Dave expressed his gratitude, saying: "I was stunned to hear the news that I'd won the J & E Hall Gold Medal. For the past 12 years, my focus has been on the development of industrial scale heat pumps and their place in the market. I've consistently strived to raise awareness of how well heat pumps can support our sustainable heating goals."
The internationally-respected J & E Hall Gold Medal recognises the most noteworthy practical contribution in the field of refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pumps. It is open to both individuals and teams who have gone above and beyond in practical applications of innovative designs and projects which have made a unique and innovative contribution.
For over 12 years, Dave has promoted the advantages of heat pump technology within the industry, which has seen him campaigning at local, national and international government level for the inclusion of large heat pump systems in low carbon housing, social and commercial schemes. He has also led the deployment of the world's largest water-sourced 90°C heat pump system at Drammen in Norway – which takes energy from a fjord to provide the town with 85% of its heating needs. This achievement is still unmatched across the world after a staggering nine years of being in operation.
"The key difference with large heat pumps is the temperature that they can go to which will make projects like Drammen viable. It's only recently that we've been able to get efficiencies to a level that can make a significant difference. We've adopted ammonia as a working fluid due to its environmentally friendly credentials and the high temperatures that can be reached, leading to a saving of approximately 25% electrical demand compared to synthetic working fluids," he explained.
Dave's work has ranged from consulting with local authority planning departments, to advising the European Commission and working with trade associations in the building services industry. As a result, the possibilities brought about by industrial scale heat pumps are now understood to go far beyond the capability of small domestic units in both temperatures range and efficiency.
"By developing heat pump technology on this scale, we are tackling two problems – climate change by cutting CO2 emissions and poor air quality, of which has been a major cause of pollution through the use of fossil fuels. By doing so we are putting heat pumps at the forefront of government policy to develop a low carbon economy," he added.
Dave frequently delivers talks at conferences and universities to help people across all ages and industries to see the value of heat pump technology in harnessing renewable electricity to displace the use of carbon-based energy sources, leading to a brighter future for all.
"There's a very bright future for heat pumps. Ten years ago they had hardly a mention – this has now changed. Our challenge for the next 25 years is to have 100% decarbonisation of heating. Heat pumps can play a major role in this."

Realtors across the country agree that adding interior moulding and millwork can help sell a home. Experts at Ornamental Moulding & Millwork recommend adding Rustic Mouldings, faux wood ceiling beams, mantels and floating shelves to help set homes apart.

ZEELAND, MICH. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 27, 2020
Exterior curb appeal elements can help get a home buyer in the front door. A new roof, decorative trim or a manicured lawn can do the trick. According to several experienced realtors, it's just as important to continue that "curb appeal" experience once a potential seller walks through the front door.
"As the saying goes, 'you only have one opportunity to make a first impression,'" says realtor Vincent A. Stanson, a REALTOR associate with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services in New Jersey. "When that front door opens, homeowners have the chance to impress their guests with a stunning stairway system, stand-out mouldings and decorative interior accents.
"Once people enter a home, it becomes all about the personalized style that the homeowners bring to every room. I've found that homebuyers are very impressed with mouldings and raised panels. The more the merrier!"
Angela Kallay agrees. In her 16 years of experience, the Milwaukee area REALTOR relates that mouldings give buyers the feeling that the home has character. "Oftentimes buyers tell me they're tired of 'cookie cutter' interiors," says Kallay, a broker-owner with Benefit Realty. "The added touch of stand-out mouldings makes a home feel unique and custom."
According to Real Estate Advisor Rhonda Haran, what can dazzle potential homebuyers is discovering stand-out ceiling treatments in a home's interior. "Unique ceiling treatments are in style right now," says Haran with Ansley Atlanta Real Estate. "There's a definite 'wow factor' when people walk into a room with wood beams or a coffered ceiling treatment."
"Because newer homes these days almost always have some type of mouldings, it's important for home sellers to step up their game," says Richard Keck, broker in charge, with Keck Realty Group out of Apex, N.C. "Home sellers and their agents need to carefully analyze each room and determine which ones can benefit the most from moulding replacements or additions."
Selecting Stylish Accents that Sell 
Before putting a home on the market, there are a variety of ways homeowners can enhance their interiors with decorative accents. Ornamental Moulding and Millwork offers a wide selection of mouldings and accent pieces to enhance any room.
"Right now we're seeing a preference toward Modern Farmhouse in homes across America," says Keith Early, vice president of marketing and new product development at Ornamental Moulding & Millwork. "To meet that needs we offer a series of Rustic Mouldings, plus wooden faux ceiling beams, mantels and floating shelves. These can be installed anywhere in the home to create warmth and style."
Early also relates that small accent mouldings can have a big impact in rooms. A chair rail added to a painted wall can immediately enhance a room. Or, replacing an old crown moulding with something that "pops" more, like Haute 2-in-1 moulding, can make an impact.
To make a bigger impact, Ornamental Mouldings & Millwork offers faux wood beams in Ambrosia Maple and Prestained Gray finishes. Both beams can be accented with black faux metal brackets. The lightweight beams come with mounting hardware and install easily to enhance any room.
"Sometimes it's hard for a homeowner to decide how to creatively enhance their rooms," says Early. "That's why our website, and the Love The Room website, both have inspiration galleries. At these sites home sellers can see how different mouldings and accents help transform and enhance a room."
Ornamental Mouldings & Millwork manufactures a wide array of decorative wood mouldings and accessories. Owned by NOVO Building Products, the industry's leading manufacturer and distributor of mouldings, stair parts, doors and specialty millwork, Ornamental Moulding & Millwork is based in Archdale, N.C. For more information, visit http://www.ornamental.com or call 1-800-779-1135.

Share the Love national cloth diaper bank expands its reach to fight diaper need

ST. LOUIS (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 28, 2020
Cotton Babies, Inc., a St. Louis-based manufacturer and retailer of cloth diapers, has announced its cloth diaper bank, Share the Love, will now ship free cloth diapers directly to families in need.
"When my first baby was born, we were choosing between groceries and disposable diapers. A friend gave me cloth diapers. Her gift enabled us to buy food for our family while easing the burden of diapering our baby. Not too long later, I started a business and, for nearly 18 years, we've been working to make cloth diapers readily available to every family everywhere," said Jennifer Labit, Cotton Babies founder and CEO.
Share the Love was created in 2012 with the mission of ending poverty and diaper need in communities. As many as 1 in 3 families have an insufficient supply of diapers. Volunteer hosts throughout the country accept donations and distribute the cloth diapers to families in their area. This consistent, scalable framework helps sustain communities. In order to reach families who do not have a host nearby, Cotton Babies is rolling out the option to ship diapers. Delivery fees will be the exact shipping cost plus a small handling fee. Diapers will vary based on availability, but most will receive a loan of 15 cloth diaper changes for an extended period of time. Besides providing the cloth diapers, Share the Love teaches families how to care for and use cloth diapers.
Share the Love currently has enough diapers on hand to supply around 800 families with cloth diapers. To apply for a diaper loan, visit cottonbabieslove.com to fill out an application. 

Eligibility requirements:

Must be a US resident with a photo ID

Show proof of enrollment in WIC, TANF or any other assistance program

Fill out the application in its entirety

Replacing disposable diapers with cloth diapers can save a family thousands of dollars. That money can be used on food, childcare, utilities and more. For struggling families, it can have a life-changing impact.
As a company that specializes in reusable products, Cottton Babies is proud that Share the Love extends the use of cloth diapers it manufactures and keeps them out of landfills. Rather than getting tossed into the trash, these diapers can go on to help other families.

The Ontario, CA-based plumbing company has expanded its service area.

ONTARIO, CALIF. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 28, 2020
Representatives with Empire Plumbing, have announced that it has expanded its service area and is now providing plumbing services in Upland, Pomona, Rancho Cucamonga in California.
"We are very excited to be able to expand our service area and provide residential plumbing services to residents in three more cities in California," said the company spokesperson Gabe Ruiz.
"While there are plenty of plumbers throughout California, not all of them can offer you high-quality service, quality installations, and availability around the clock," said Ruiz and went on to add, "That is where we excel and will make a difference for you, your family and even your business."
Ruiz further added, "Whatever the problem with your home's plumbing, from water to gas, our plumbing experts in Rancho Cucamonga, Upland, and Pomona can help. We specialize in residential plumbing and can ensure that your home has what you need while adhering to local codes."
Empire Plumbing provides free estimates for plumbing services.
"Forget about the 'no free lunch' phrase – when it comes to getting the knowledge needed before undertaking plumbing repairs or upgrades, we provide an estimate for free," highlighted Ruiz.

National multifamily management firm assumes management of 1,100+ apartments

NEWPORT NEWS, VA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 28, 2020
In a continued expansion of the growing relationship with New York City based Beitel Group, formerly known as Besyata, Drucker + Falk assumed management of more than 1,100 apartment homes in Indiana, expanding Drucker +Falk operations to the Indianapolis and Fort Wayne markets.

Ben Beitel, CEO, Beitel Group, said "generating solid returns for our investors is paramount.

The Drucker + Falk team is highly responsive to us as a client, and has a resident centric focus that they apply to every property. Consistent attainment of owner goals, unmatched integrity and transparency and the passion with which the site teams direct operations, played a significant role in expanding our management partnership."
Indiana represents a growing market for Drucker + Falk and comes on the heels of one of the strongest multifamily management growth periods in the firm's history. The addition of the Indiana assets brings Drucker + Falk's multifamily management portfolio to 40,000 apartment homes across 13 mid-Atlantic and Southeast states. These new additions to the Drucker + Falk portfolio include Three Rivers Apartments, a High Rise with 354 apartment homes in Fort Wayne; Astoria Park Apartments, a Garden-style community with 470 apartment homes in Indianapolis, and Southport Crossing Apartments, another Garden-style community in Indianapolis with 328 apartment homes.

"It's always such a good feeling to see our operations expanding across the map. It speaks to the talent, commitment and operating performance of our site teams.

Puffy - makers of America's Most Comfortable Mattress, is donating mattresses to charities via a customer-driven social sharing campaign.
From the very first Puffy Mattress ever sold, the California-based mattress and bedroom company has proudly promoted their flagship donation campaign, which allows customers to make an impact with every mattress purchase.
Participation in the Puffy Donation Program is easy. Customers simply take a photo with their Puffy Mattress and post it on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter with the hashtag #puffydonation.
For every 10 shares of the hashtag #puffydonation, Puffy donate a brand new mattress to a children's shelter. The process of sharing images via social media also allows the brand to connect with customers post-purchase.
The Puffy Donation Program has connected with a number of children's shelters and charities to supply mattresses for children in need.
Puffy's key donations partners include Penny Lane Centers, Mid-Maine Homeless Shelter, St. Vincents de Paul, The Mission of Hope, Nashville Rescue Mission, and Teen Challenge.
"Millions of children in America face homelessness, and our donation partners do incredible work to support the most vulnerable kids in our communities. With our Puffy Mattress Donation Program, we can do our bit to ensure children have a safe place to sleep," said Arthur Andreasyan, CEO at Puffy.
Without the support of donations, many housing charities in America have an inadequate supply of beds to help those seeking residential assistance.
"Puffy is always so generous. They have donated mattresses for our residential youth and families. We're so fortunate to have received the donation of mattresses from Puffy. Our youth love the comfort and also the fact that it comes from an organization that cares," said a spokesperson from Penny Lane Center.
"Engaging with our communities with the Puffy Donation Program is an essential part of our company values. What's better is that we are able to involve our customers too. Social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter can be used very positively to build community and connection. We are grateful to our customers who see the value in supporting our mission, too," said Andreasyan.
Expansion of the Puffy Donation Program
Puffy's commitment to providing comfort goes as far as offering customers a full 101-Nights to trial all products. Should a customer not fall in love with the luxurious cloud comfort of Puffy's memory foam mattress after 14 nights, Puffy offers a full refund (including free pick-up).
When it came to deciding what to do with brand new returned mattresses, it was natural for the team at Puffy to offer them as donations.
Once returned, Puffy inspects mattresses for quality and facilitates donations to local and national charities so people in need can sleep comfortably on a supportive bed each night.
Alarmingly, mattresses in landfills can take between 80-120 years to decompose due to the density and durability of most mattress materials. This is a growing concern for the team at Puffy.
The company endeavors to reduce wastage and encourage recycling and donations to ensure the industry leaves a positive footprint on the environment and the community at large.
"The environmental issues associated with mattress disposal are quite significant. For the handful of people who decide sleeping on a cloud isn't for them, we pass the comfort forward. This process aligns with the Puffy Donations Program and allows us to increase donations as well as reduce wastage," said Andreasyan.
Many mattresses have been donated, and the company plans on continuing the Program indefinitely.

About Puffy
Puffy is a California-based company committed to developing total bedroom solutions to help customers achieve optimal sleep health. The company was founded on the idea of creating mattresses and bedroom products that feel like sleeping on a cloud.

Dealership's In-House Service Center Can Help Kia Vehicles Get Ready for Spring

LEHIGHTON, PA. (PRWEB) MARCH 01, 2020
Spring will soon be arriving in Pennsylvania, and drivers will start taking more road trips and venturing outside. Between dropping the kids off at baseball practices and games, hitting up the local garden centers and exploring new places, it is important that the vehicle used to get to these destinations is ready for the erratic spring weather.
Lehighton Kia offers an in-house service center to help Kia drivers get their chosen model ready for the spring season. Some of the most popular spring season preparation maintenance tasks include changing the oil, testing the battery, and inspecting the tires and brakes.
The highly-skilled service technicians, who have been specially trained to know the architecture and personality of each Kia vehicle, will also inspect the vehicle's undercarriage for premature corrosion caused by snow and road salt. They will also clean or replace the vehicle's cabin filters to help keep out pollen and other allergens that arrive during the spring season.
As the vehicle ages and gets more miles on it, the service technicians at Lehighton Kia can provide additional guidance to help ensure that the vehicle stays dependable no matter the season.
Drivers interested in having their Kia vehicle serviced as the spring season arrives are invited to contact the Lehighton Kia service center by phone at 484-464-0928 or through the dealership's website at http://www.lehightonkia.com. On the website, drivers can schedule a service appointment. Lehighton Kia is located at 1502 Blakeslee Boulevard Drive East in Lehighton.

ViraKill-60 Eradicates Virus Particles in the Home and Workplace

SARASOTA, FLA. (PRWEB) MARCH 01, 2020
Clean Air Gear division of MicroSweep Corp. has introduced a novel new product that eradicates virus particles shed by a contagious person, whether they have symptoms or not. Virus particles are copies of the original virus that has been reproduced many-fold by an exhausted host-cell infection in a contagious person.
ViraKill-60 is a special type of portable air purifier that destroys virus particles using clean ozone, then neutralizes any remaining oxidant. Ozone will inactivate viruses on contact, even at very low residual concentrations. Ozone destroys viruses by diffusing through the protein coat into the nucleic acid core, resulting in damage to the viral RNA. Only 0.012 ppm of ozone removes all polio viral cells in less than 10 seconds.
The new ViraKill-60 (available at http://www.cleanairgear.com) creates temporary clean ozone that oxidizes viral particles on contact. Placed in a closed room and powered on, the unit cycles unattended for one hour. (The cleaning technology attacks organic molecules, including living cells, so the treatment area must be unoccupied while it cleans.) Treated premises can be reoccupied soon afterward because during the last ten minutes it neutralizes any ozone remaining in the treatment area. This is reliable because only clean ozone is produced, even in moist air, so there are no toxic byproducts to remove.
"ViraKill-60 can inactivate airborne or surface virus particles" said John Edwards, President of Clean Air Gear.
See ViraKill-60 at (http://www.cleanairgear.com) or email to info@virakill.com.
Clean Air Gear sells portable equipment to purify room air in the home and workplace.

Caring Transitions' team helps with decluttering, organizing, packing, moving, resettling, in-home estate sales and online auctions, estate clearing and preparing homes for market.

OMAHA, NE (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
Long-time Omaha residents Cindy and Chad Ring are pleased to announce the launch of their new relocation and estate-clearing company, Caring Transitions of Northwest Omaha.
This senior-focused relocation and estate-clearing company serves Northwest Omaha, Fremont, Bennington, Blair, Fort Calhoun and the surrounding areas. Caring Transitions' specially-trained professionals handle decluttering, organizing, packing, moving, resettling, in-home estate sales and online auctions, estate clearing and preparing homes for market.
"The services we provide at Caring Transitions are not about helping you move or clearing out a house. Your home is your castle – you're proud of it and you have a lifetime of memories there – and you need a company that understands and respects that. At Caring Transitions, we don't just want to come in and complete a task. We want to learn about your personal goals for the project and then help you reach those goals in the most compassionate way possible," Chad said.
Caring Transitions' services are perfect for managing the many aspects of a senior move, including assisting with the process of downsizing to provide a safer living situation, as well as for busy families and people clearing out the home of a loved one who has moved into assisted care or passed away. All of Caring Transitions' services are customizable, so clients choose the solution that best fits their needs.
Chad started his career in automotive work and then moved into the insurance industry while Cindy has worked for a large corporation. They were both caught up in the monotony of working in corporate America and, although they knew they were ready for a change, they weren't quite sure what they wanted to do. Then, in 2019, they each lost a grandparent.
"We watched our families navigate the challenges of the homes left behind – some people wanted to sell, some people didn't; some people thought the house was worth more than it was; people wanted to keep all their stuff, and then they didn't want any of it. As we were watching this unfold we thought, 'there has to be a better way.' When we came across a http://www.CaringTransitionsNWO.com ad after having gone through all of that, we realized this was what we'd been looking for," Cindy said.
"My grandmother is still alive and is having memory problems. She and my grandfather were married for 70 years – that life is all she had ever known – and it would be been great if my family had been able to spend more time supporting her without having to worry about the house and all the stuff that goes along with that. I'm hoping that time is something we have help families get back," she added.
Caring Transitions of Northwest Omaha, which is part of the national Caring Transitions franchise, is bonded and insured and all employees are CRT trained and background checked.

Caring.com's 2020 Will and Living Trust Survey Shows a Decline Among Adults With an Estate Planning Document Over the Last 3 Years and Highlights a Lack of Education as an underlying issue

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
Caring.com, a leading senior care referral service with Family Advisors nationwide, has announced key findings from its annual Will and Living Trust Survey. The latest study includes feedback from 2,400 Americans and was used to examine which groups are more likely to engage in estate planning as well as their underlying reasons for having or not having a will. The survey is an ongoing effort to raise awareness about the importance of estate planning, especially among those with limited knowledge and access to resources.
Results from the survey show a significant change, over a three-year period, in the number of older and middle-aged Americans with a will. In 2017, 42% of respondents reported that they had a will or similar document. However, the 2020 survey shows only 32% having one or more documents. This is almost a 25% decrease in the number of people with a will or living trust.
One consistent finding from the research is that race is still a key indicator of those more likely to delay or ignore the need to create a will. Both Caucasians and African Americans are more likely to cite simple procrastination as the reason for not having a will than Hispanics. In contrast, more Hispanics are saying that they either don't know how, or it's too expensive to get a will. Additionally, nearly 2 out of 3 Caucasians believe that getting a will is important, but only about half of all Hispanics say the same.
"The significant increase among Americans without a will, living trust or health directive should be alarming for any family," says Patrick Hicks, Head of Legal at online estate planning company Trust & Will. "Estate planning not only helps to protect assets, but it's an important process to ensure who will care for minor children or make decisions about your health if you become incapacitated."
Based on past studies, people with a higher income are also more likely to have an estate planning document. Last year, 61% of people making $75,000 or more had a will. Yet, this year shows just 45% of Americans at that income level with an estate planning document.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
Since 2015, Caring.com has conducted the wills survey to help educate families and increase awareness about the estate planning process. The organization partnered with YouGov to survey over two thousand Americans and analyze the results.

Compare-autoinsurance.org (https://compare-autoinsurance.org/) is a top auto insurance brokerage website, providing car insurance quotes online from trustworthy agencies all over the United States. This website explains what events are covered by each insurance policy.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
Insurance companies offer various insurance plans that cover specific events. Before signing any insurance contracts, drivers should do a little research and find out what is covered by each insurance plan. By doing so, drivers will be able to customize their insurance policies with the coverages and options they actually need.
The most common insurance policies are: 

Liability coverage. In many states, this coverage is the minimum required insurance in order to drive legally. This policy has two components: bodily injury liability and property damage liability. Bodily injury liability pays for the medical expenses of the others who were injured by an at-fault policyholder. Property damage liability pays for the repair costs or to replace damaged property by an at-fault policyholder.

Personal injury protection. Also known as PIP insurance or no-fault insurance. This policy covers medical expenses for policyholders and their passengers who are hurt in car accidents. Also, this coverage will pay for the funeral expenses, lost wages, child care, house care, and other services a policyholder can't fulfill anymore.

Collision insurance. This policy will pay the costs to repair or to replace a damaged vehicle that was involved in a car accident with another vehicle or a collision with an inanimate object like a tree, fence or pole. Also, collision insurance will pay when a policyholder flips his car or he collides with another vehicle he owns.

Comprehensive insurance. It covers events that are not related to collisions. This coverage will pay the costs to replace a stolen vehicle or the damage caused by severe weather events, fire, flood, falling objects, vandalism or rampaging animals.

Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Uninsured motorist coverage is a type of coverage that kicks in if a policyholder is hurt or suffers property damage in an accident caused by an uninsured driver. Underinsured coverage will help the policyholders pay their medical bills if they are injured in a car accident caused by a driver that has coverage, but it's not enough to pay for the medical bills.

Roadside assistance. This coverage helps drivers that suffered a mechanical breakdown. Usually, roadside assistance will provide services like battery jump-start, towing to the nearest repair shop, flat tires replacement, or fuel delivery.

Compare-autoinsurance.org is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers.

Esteemed Texas winery, 1851 Vineyards, is now Slate Mill Wine Collective: a full-service winery incubator. The property has undergone a transformation that includes significantly expanded production facilities, added vineyard acreage, and a fully remodeled tasting room and patio. In addition to continuing its core business as a winery, Slate Mill Wine Collective has a new mission to help provide other wine producers the ability to craft wines in its on-site custom crush facility.

FREDERICKSBURG, TEXAS (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
Esteemed Texas winery, 1851 Vineyards, is now Slate Mill Wine Collective: a full-service winery incubator. The Fredericksburg, Texas–based winery was acquired in 2019 by the Jones family. The family left the oil industry in 2019 to pursue a passion in viticulture and invested in 1851 Vineyards with their seven children. The property has undergone a transformation that includes significantly expanded production facilities, added vineyard acreage, and a fully remodeled tasting room and patio. In addition to continuing its core business as a winery, Slate Mill Wine Collective has a new mission to help provide other wine producers the ability to craft wines in its on-site custom crush facility.
The evolution of Slate Mill Wine Collective from a boutique family-run winery to a winery incubator expands its footprint, while retaining its celebration of the unstoppable maverick spirit for which Texas is known. Led by director of winemaking Tim Drake, winemaker Josh Fritsche and the Slate Mill Wine Collective cellar team continue to produce wines under the in-house 1851 Vineyards brand, as well as assist with production for custom crush clients.
"The Texas wine industry has earned a strong reputation for quality wines, which is drawing interest from many people who want to enter the business," says Tim Drake. "We have always been known for having this incredible pioneering spirit, but as the industry is growing there is less land available at affordable pricing. Our new business model gives others an opportunity to cost-effectively develop high-quality wines and grow their business, where it may have been prohibitive otherwise. Our custom crush clients can produce their own wines in our facility and can take advantage of the assistance from our team of winemaking experts. This is not your typical run of the mill winery. We make winery dreams a reality."
The Slate Mill Wine Collective tasting room has undergone dramatic renovation with the inclusion of a gorgeous namesake water mill, two new tasting bars, three times more space for seating and a gracious new design for relaxed hospitality. The makeover also includes the addition of a full wall of sliding glass doors that open to a multi-tiered patio with seating, a dance floor, and three new fire pits. Local cheeses and meats are available for purchase.
The spacious tasting room promotes education, experimentation, and discovery. Several excellent wines are available for tasting including the 1851 Vineyards house brand. Currently, several of the Texas wines made at the Collective are featured in the tasting room and wine club including: 

C.L. Butaud — Produced by winemaker Randy Hester, a Texas native who cut his winemaking 'chops' studying in many of Napa Valleys' finest facilities.

Dandy Rosé — Produced by winemaker and sommelier Rae Wilson, who began her career working in the cellar with several of Texas' top wineries before beginning her brand Knipp Cellars.

Tatum Cellars — Winemaker Josh Fritsche began working in the Texas wine industry nearly a decade ago, rising through the ranks from cellar rat to assistant winemaker to winemaker. He joined the Slate Mill winemaking team in April of 2019. His personal label Tatum Cellars was launched in 2012 to extraordinary critical and consumer acclaim.

Farmhouse Vineyards — Wines crafted by Tim Drake for the Seaton and Furgeson families, both multi- generational farming families. Together they farm 7,000 acres of row crops and four vineyards with 112 acres of wine grapes within the Texas High Plains AVA.

Majek Vineyard & Winery — Randy and Lynne Majek tapped into Tim Drake's 20 years of experience and Slate Mill's resources to help them produce award winning wines from vineyards in the High Plains and their estate in East Texas.

"Slate Mill Wine Collective makes financial sense for small brands like ours that don't yet have the capital to build a winery," says Randy Hester, owner and winemaker, C.L. Butaud Wines. "They have the right processing equipment and barrel aging facilities to allow me to make the best wines possible. When working with Slate Mill, you have options. I go with the hands-on approach so that I'm involved in every aspect of the winemaking process. You also have the option to work with their talented team of winemakers for a full-service approach that extends to assistance with vineyard planting and management, and sales including wine club shipping and fulfillment. Additionally, our C.L. Butaud wines are for sale in their Fredericksburg tasting room located in the heart of Texas wine country." 
The winery production facility also underwent an extensive expansion with a new 9,600 square foot barrel room, improved crush pad, and enlarged tank storage. The increased space allows for additional capacity of up to 1,600 barrels and 24,000 gallons a year. The next phase of the remodel will include individual tasting rooms available for lease to wine brands in the "Wine Village" and commercial rental space all under one roof.
The Slate Mill Wine Collective property features a historic homestead, barn, and smokehouse restored to its original 1800s condition, which is commemorated with a State Historical Marker. It also boasts a 35-acre estate vineyard. With a second winery in development on Highway 290 and an adjacent 200-acre events facility in Fredericksburg, Slate Mill Wine Collective will be managing 150 acres of estate vineyards in the Texas Hill Country. These 150 acres, managed by Chase Jones and Emily Graff, are home to 35 different grape varieties well suited for the Texas climate. Slate Mill Wine Collective clients and partners have the option of selecting from these very varieties to use in their winemaking endeavors.
About Slate Mill Wine Collective 
Experience a piece of Texas history with unparalleled hospitality, education and pioneering spirit. Founded as "1851 Vineyards" in 2016, the winery was named for the Pioneer Flour Mills which was built and established on the grounds in the year 1851. The original barn, main house, guest house and smokehouse that remain today, serve as a Texas Historical Landmark. In 2019 the Jones family purchased 1851 Vineyards and transitioned it from a stand-alone winery to a winery incubator. With the new business model, additional vineyard acreage, expanded production facilities, and a remodeled tasting room, the winery was relaunched as Slate Mill Wine Collective in 2020.

This industry leading certification program now offers improved and updated training program that includes updated information and voice over narration. The extensive course features 18 modules of information, each focused on a different aspect of facilitating relocation for Seniors.

CHICAGO (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
The aging US population brings with it a host of new challenges. In larger numbers than ever before, Senior Citizens face the need to modify or change their living arrangements. Most often this involves downsizing to a smaller home, condo, or assisted living facility. For a few, it may involve modifying their existing residence.
Change is difficult for most people. Studies show that our concept of "home" is hardwired in our brains. It's at the core of who we are. Giving up possessions can be very unsettling for Seniors as well as their families. In many cases, family homes are intrinsically tied to our identities.
NCBAC's CRTS Certification Program features an 18 module course which provides comprehensive information needed to successfully organize and manage Senior moves from beginning to setting up the new home.
The voice-over narration has just been added, as well as updated statistics and detailed on-line illustration. The information is easy to follow and is designed to provide Transition Specialists with the plans and techniques necessary to reduce stress and manage moves effectively.
CRTS emphasizes a team approach for project management. It covers topics such as working with families, communication techniques, dealing with physical limitations, downsizing decisions for personal possessions, finding appropriate housing alternatives, moving issues and resettling into a new home.
Transition Specialists come from many other professions including professional organizers, caregivers and housing personnel, real estate agents, estate sales specialists, attorneys, movers and medical personnel.
This program meets national certification standards and is the premier national certification of its type.

Premier Expands to Billings, MT and North Tampa Bay, FL

GRANITE BAY, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
Premier Pools & Spas Expands to Two New Locations 
Premier Pools & Spas, the nation's #1 swimming pool builders, has begun expansion into the Billings, MT and North Tampa Bay, FL metropolitan areas. President of Premier Franchise Management, Aaron Gurley, has hand-picked Nathan Lose and Ryan Foster to become the new franchise owners of each respective location. Premier Pools & Spas would like to congratulate both Nathan and Ryan on this momentous occasion.
Billings, MT | Owner: Nathan Lose 
Nathan started in the pool building business by helping his father with his own pool contractor business for years. Since meeting with some current members of the Premier Pools & Spas family, almost 4 years ago, Nathan has carried a continuous interest in owning his own franchise. When the opportunity arose to start his own franchise in Billings, Montana, Nathan knew he couldn't miss out on his chance.
Family has always been very important to Nathan; his close connection with his family made it even more clear that Premier Pools & Spas was the right fit for him. Once Nathan saw the family atmosphere that Premier Pools & Spas offered their owners/employees, he knew he had to be a part of the family himself.
North Tampa Bay, FL | Owner: Ryan Foster 
Ryan started his career in the pool builder industry at the age of 13 and has continued his work in the in-ground swimming pool industry ever since graduating from college. When a good friend became an owner of a Premier Pools & Spas franchise, Ryan took advantage and gained first-hand knowledge of the company. It was through this interaction, and many more with other Premier Pools & Spas owners, Ryan decided that he wanted to join the Premier Pools & Spas pool builder family.
With his vast experience in pool building, Ryan knew that he would be able to run his own pool company; however, it was the benefits he saw firsthand from his friend, and fellow pool contractors, that pushed him to become a "part of the greatest team in this industry." Ryan plans to work closely with our South Tampa Bay, FL location to make sure that they are both the #1 in-ground pool builders in the Greater Tampa Bay area.
About Premier Pools & Spas 
Since redefining the pool building industry in 1988, Premier Pools & Spas has received numerous awards. This includes several Association of Pool & Spa Professional (PHTA) International Awards of Excellence for Design. Premier Pools & Spas was also named the National Pool Builder of the Year (2006) and were ranked #1 Pool Builder (2012) in the US, by Pool & Spa News. As of 2017, Premier has begun franchising service companies under the name Premier Pool Service.
Today, Premier Pools & Spas is one of the top pool builders in the industry; with more than 70,000 pools built, and serving more than 50 markets worldwide, Premier Pools & Spas is constantly looking to expand even further. To become a Premier Pools & Spas franchisee you will need to pass a comprehensive background check, multiple inquiries to local vendors and distributors, as well as previous customer and personal references.
If you are interested in joining the Premier Franchise Family, or interested in pool builders near me, then please visit: http://joinpremierpools.com/join-our-team/ or call (855) 212-2210.

When you're doing your spring cleaning, don't forget your pets! 1-800-PetMeds is giving away a bundle of pet grooming supplies to 8 lucky winners to help their dog or cat be their sweet smelling, well-groomed best.

DELRAY BEACH, FLA. (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
As the snow melts and temperatures rise, you and your pets may be looking forward to fun outings like picnics and walks in the park. Make sure your pets are fresh, clean, and healthy for the spring by learning to groom them at home.
Washing and brushing your pet between grooming appointments is the best way to keep them smelling fresh, to help manage shedding, and to keep long coats free of mats. For dogs who do not regularly visit a groomer, a monthly bath works best for most, while cats should be bathed as needed, depending on their activity level and coat type.
When it comes to nails, sticking to a schedule of trimming every two weeks will help keep your pet's nails from overgrowing and affecting their posture and balance. Trimming nails can be tricky, so ask your vet or groomer for help if you're unsure of how to do it safely.
"Grooming tasks like brushing teeth, clipping nails, and cleaning ears can be less stressful for your pet when done at home by someone they love," says Larissa Schenck, Director of Marketing at 1-800-PetMeds, "But you'll still want to give them lots of treats and reassurance to create a positive experience for them."
Enter the 1-800-PetMeds A Spring Cleaning For Your Pet Sweepstakes for a chance to win a package of pet grooming supplies for your cat or dog. Each bundle will include Oatmeal & Aloe Vera Shampoo, Rescue Pro Series Combo Brush, Nail Trimmers, Super Pure Omega 3 supplement, ear cleanser, and a toothbrush/toothpaste kit.
The 1-800-PetMeds Spring Cleaning For Your Pet Sweepstakes runs from Monday 03/02 through Sunday 03/29. Everyone who enters from 12:01 AM Eastern Time ("ET") March 2, 2020 to March 29, 2020 at 11:59 PM EDT is eligible to win. To enter, visit the Spring Cleaning For Your Pet Sweepstakes page. Two winners (one cat, one dog) will be chosen and notified on four successive Mondays (3/9, 3/16, 3/23, 3/30) for a total of 8 winners.
About 1-800-PetMeds 
Founded in 1996, Petmeds.com is America's Most Trusted Pet Pharmacy providing fast, easy, and helpful service to over ten million customers across the U.S. by delivering prescription and non-prescription medications and pet supplies for less, direct to the consumer through its 1-800-PetMeds toll-free number, on the Internet through its website Petmeds.com, or with the 1-800-PetMeds mobile app available for free at Google Play for Android and the App Store for iOS.

Jorge Ricalday of Green Solar Technologies comments on the progress that could be made if utility companies helped bring solar to low-income areas.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
Renewable energy is widely considered to be an expensive, out-of-reach alternative for the average consumer. Solar power, in particular, has a bit of a reputation of putting a dent in one's wallet. With benefits being more long-term than immediate, it's hard for the middle- and lower-class to justify putting themselves in debt now to receive the rewards later. This issue makes solar much less common in low-income communities than elsewhere.
However, despite this reputation, there's a lot more potential for solar to save people money than is commonly thought. And this potential could lie in the hands of utility companies.
In the state of Illinois, the 2017 Future Energy Jobs Act created a program with the goal of bringing solar and solar jobs to low-income and environmental justice communities. The program incentivizes developers at a higher rate than the state's general solar program for installing solar in low-income areas and guarantees customers 50% savings compared to utility costs. And while they're working on expanding this program, it's still proven difficult for these communities to have easy access to solar because of institutional hurdles. Moreover, many states in similar circumstances don't even have programs like this one.
In comes a senior policy advocate at the Environmental Law & Policy Center, MeLena Hessel, who co-authored a guide to specifically help low-income households take advantage of solar at a policy level. The Low-Income Solar Policy Guideexplains that "Utilities are in a powerful position to facilitate the transition to clean energy for all and can play a vital role in expanding solar access and choice for low-income households."
MeLena Hessel emphasizes that when it comes to low-income households, solar is actually often the cheapest source of energy out there. This goes against what most people assume about solar panels. So, she wants to provide this information to offset the stigma and help these communities see that they can actually save by going solar.
One suggestion is community solar, which is when a group of people who can't otherwise afford solar easily come together in developing solar, sharing the benefits. The guide advises developers to take the risk of developing community solar in less financially stable communities, rather than just focusing on making a profit.
The report also suggests that utilities let customers with solar panels donate any credit for unused solar energy to lower-income customers who struggle to afford their own installations. This way, the benefits of solar become a bit more reachable for people who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford it.
"This is the kind of effort that can make a real difference in the lives of people all over the US," says Jorge Ricalday, Marketing Director of Green Solar Technologies. Jorge sees first hand every day how difficult it can be to sell solar to lower-income communities who aren't aware of the savings that solar can bring.
Green Solar Technologies is a solar provider that already works with utility companies all over the country to offer rebates, incentives, and tax breaks to homeowners switching to solar. Some states have better incentives than others, but even with these, there are still barriers. Programs like net metering compensate solar panel owners for the excess power they generate, but often only up to a certain threshold.
"The economic and cultural obstacles affect how homeowners view renewable energy alternatives," Jorge continues, "and by implementing policies through the utility companies themselves, a wave of progress will be made that could change our country's impression of solar energy."
We know that homeowners can save money with solar energy, but when it's already difficult to pay utility costs each month, it's hard to bring people out of that cycle. Utilities stepping in and implementing ways to help customers directly, and for customers to support each other, may be the key to giving low-income people easier access to the benefits of solar.

The Hartford Gold Group today announced that the company has been renamed as American Hartford Gold Group.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
The Hartford Gold Group today announced that the company has been renamed as American Hartford Gold Group.
This news is revealed just as the company has completed a year of record growth in gold delivered, office expansion and staffers hired to support the company's thriving Gold IRA business.
In fact, Inc. named American Hartford Gold Group as #74 among the fastest growing private financial services companies in the USA. The Inc. list identifies the most successful companies within America's most dynamic segment: its independently-owned businesses.
"We still have the same white-glove client service, helpful education and industry-leading pricing for our clients, but our nationwide stature requires a larger name," says Sanford Mann, CEO of The Hartford Gold Group. "We help keep America's retirement savings safe, so we felt having America in our name was a perfect fit."
American Hartford Gold Group has many years of loyal association and endorsement with Bill O'Reilly, America's popular news-making television and radio personality. The company is the exclusive gold and silver sponsor for Bill O'Reilly's daily radio program "The O'Reilly Update" and a long-time sponsor of O'Reilly's "No Spin News" show and Now Radio.
"American Hartford Gold Group is the only company I recommend for your gold and silver needs,' says Bill O'Reilly. "Gold is a great way to protect against market shocks and spiraling inflation, especially within an IRA," added Mann.
American Hartford Gold Group specializes in helping investors set up Gold IRAs (also known as gold bullion IRAs or self-directed IRAs) which allows investors to upgrade their retirement strategy by adding physical gold and silver to a tax-deferred retirement account.
To learn more about the Gold IRA, investors can call 866-342-2257 or visit americanhartfordgold.com

SANFORD, FLA. (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
Today the Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling (FCCG) and Seminole Gaming advised Floridians to Keep Gambling Fun! Don't Let Problem Gambling Affect Your Shot: Rebound with Florida's Problem Gambling HelpLine, 888-ADMIT-IT during National Problem Gambling Awareness Month. Gearing up for the one-month launch on March 1st, Problem Gambling Awareness Month (PGAM) is a nationwide grassroots public awareness and outreach campaign, first established by the National Council on Problem Gambling 18 years ago, that promotes recognition of problem gambling and the availability of prevention, treatment, and recovery resources. Recent research examining the prevalence rates of various forms of gambling revealed that 79% of Floridians reported engaging in some type of gambling activity in the past year, with 24% acknowledging participation in traditional sports betting, and 18% playing Fantasy Sports . In light of the Supreme Court ruling last year and expansion of sports betting across the country, coupled with a projected $10 billion wagered on the upcoming NCAA basketball championship games (i.e. March Madness), it is imperative to spread the message that help and hope exist for anyone struggling with a gambling problem in the Sunshine State.
"The PGAM campaign is important for Florida, nicely complementing Seminole Gaming's PlayersEdge Program, which aims to provide a safe and entertaining gaming experience by mitigating harm through the promotion of informed choices, positive play, and understanding of risks. While we recognize the vast majority of our guests will not experience gambling related difficulties, because some will, our responsible play messaging, alongside highly trained employees, makes us well-equipped to assist guests as needs arise," explained Paul Pellizzari, Vice President of Global Social Responsibility for Seminole Hard Rock. "Our longstanding and ongoing partnership with the FCCG extending beyond two decades has shaped our responsible gaming program, which remains current, innovative, and focused," added Pellizzari.
"In order for someone who is affected by a gambling problem to seek help, there must first be awareness of the problem and of the solution. This comes through education and awareness of what a gambling disorder is, what it looks like, potential warning signs to look for, as well as by providing access to help, because one can't get help for a gambling problem if they don't know that help exists!" said Jennifer Kruse, FCCG's Executive Director. "Gambling addiction is treatable, and population-specific programs and services for gamblers and their loved ones are accessible any time of the day or night, any day of the year. The FCCG's 24-hour confidential and multilingual HelpLine may be reached by calling 888-ADMIT-IT (888-236-4848), texting (321) 978-0555, emailing fccg@gamblinghelp.org, initiating a live chat at gamblinghelp.org, or by visiting us on social media platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter," concluded Kruse.
The Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 under contract with state government and is one of more than 30 affiliates of the National Council on Problem Gambling NCPG.
