The Pet Food Institute partners with the Institute for Feed Education and Research (IFEEDER), North American Renderers Association (NARA) on first-of-its-kind research that finds U.S. pet food manufacturers not only provide balanced, safe meals for America's dogs and cats, but also stimulate the overall agricultural economy through the purchase of ingredients, labor and services from related industries.

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2020
First-of-its-kind research finds that U.S. pet food manufacturers not only provide balanced, safe meals for America's dogs and cats, but also stimulate the overall agricultural economy through the purchase of ingredients, labor and services from related industries. The Institute for Feed Education and Research (IFEEDER), North American Renderers Association (NARA) and Pet Food Institute (PFI) released a new, jointly funded report today detailing the purchasing power of the $30 billion pet food industry and its economic implications for U.S. agriculture and rural communities. The report also includes an in-depth review of the diverse ingredients most commonly included in dog or cat food. The full report is available online at ifeeder.org.
"This is the first time our three organizations – IFEEDER, NARA and PFI – have partnered using our unique expertise to address a knowledge gap on behalf of our members," said Constance Cullman, IFEEDER president. "We were able to develop a comprehensive study that illustrates just how remarkable our industry is at feeding America's cats and dogs, stimulating the rural economy and meeting its commitments to sustainability."
The research finds that U.S. pet food manufacturers give back to the agricultural economy by using 8.65 million tons of animal- and plant-based ingredients for dog and cat food to provide the complete nutrition that pets need, at a value of $6.9 billion. The data, compiled and presented by the economic research and analysis firm Decision Innovation Solutions (DIS), shows that pet food manufacturers use an estimated 3.8 million tons of animal-based products, such as rendered products or meat and poultry. Pet food manufacturers also use 4 million tons of farm and farm-product processor ingredients, such as grains, soy products and fruits and vegetables, and approximately 200,000 tons of seafood products. Many of these ingredients are left over from making food for people, such as parts of the animal that people do not eat, reducing food and environmental waste while still providing the nutrition pets need.
Pet food manufacturers produced approximately 10 million tons of dog and cat food in the one-year period studied between June 2018 and June 2019. The top five ingredients used in pet food, based on volume, were whole grains, poultry, meat and bone meal, corn gluten meal and soybean meal. Among U.S. Department of Agriculture defined specialty crops – peas, beet pulp and sweet potatoes topped the list of leading ingredients. A review of pet food labels found more than 500 diverse ingredients used in pet food, indicating a variety of choices available for shoppers to meet their pets' needs.
The research also showed that U.S. pet food manufacturers are buying many of their ingredients from America's heartland, with the top five states being Missouri, Kansas, Pennsylvania, Iowa and Ohio. Ingredients purchases reached almost $1 billion in Missouri alone. The purchase of these products from farmers and farmer-product processors stimulates additional upstream economic activity to other related agricultural industries via the multiplier effect. The exchange of pet food ingredients leads to the purchase of an additional $5.3 billion of important materials and services for farmers and farm processors, such as crop inputs, machinery and labor. In addition, those suppliers buy an additional $4.1 billion in services, equipment and labor to meet related needs.
"Two-thirds of U.S. households have a pet at home, meaning that the pet food industry not only plays an important role in the lives of more than 100 million families, but also for our country's agricultural community," said Dana Brooks, president and CEO of PFI. "This data is an important step in helping to quantify the economic value this industry brings to our economy and all of U.S. agriculture. As pet lovers, we've known the value that pets bring to our lives, but can now further confirm the significance of the entire pet food industry."
The rendered protein ingredients that pet food manufacturers use to make pet food are highly sustainable. Rendering reduces food waste by transforming otherwise unused portions of an animal to create safe and nutritious pet food ingredients. The rendering process also naturally returns billions of gallons of water into the environment as clean water and has a greenhouse gas reduction equivalent of removing millions of cars off the road, all sustainable practices that are reflected in the finished pet food product.
"With pet parents' growing interest in the sustainability and carbon footprint of their pets' food, we feel it is important to highlight that the rendered protein ingredients in their pets' food is not only nutritious but is also helping to reduce food waste," said Nancy Foster, president and CEO of NARA. "While about half of an animal isn't eaten by people, that food provides proteins that our pets crave due to the high nutrient content. Rendering takes that material, which would have otherwise been wasted in landfills or going down the drain, and transforms it into the safe and nutritious pet food that dogs and cats need."
A full version of the report prepared by DIS, as well as an interactive map detailing economic projections at a state level, are available online at ifeeder.org.

MaidPro, a residential house cleaning business, has reported a spike in home cleaning requests as fears and cases of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) increase. Many people are reaching out to the professional cleaners for a disinfecting clean of their entire home.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Coronavirus is a respiratory disease that has been detected in more than 100 locations internationally. As of March 9, 2020, there have been 423 cases reported and 19 total deaths in the United States. The virus has spread across 35 states including the District of Columbia.
"The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person between people who are in close contact within one another (within about 6 feet)," states the CDC. "Respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes can land in the mouths or noses of people. It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads," the CDC continues.
While most are taking extra precautions with their personal hygiene, many homeowners are turning to the professionals to deep clean their homes. MaidPro has been in the cleaning business for over 28 years and prides itself on using the most effective and safe strategies to keep homes and families healthy.
"Whether it is COVID-19 or just a routine clean, our PROs are trained to handle all situations with thoroughness and care," says Mark Kushinsky, MaidPro Franchise CEO. "We are taking this virus very seriously. We use hospital-grade disinfectants and have put extra policies and procedures in place to keep our employees and our customers safe."
MaidPro has detailed some tips to help keep your home COVID-19 free: 

There is a difference between sanitizing and disinfecting. Use cleaning products that clearly state "disinfectant". Leave the product on surfaces for 10 minutes before wiping down.

Disinfect commonly touched objects.

Use different towels/sponges when cleaning different rooms to prevent the spread of germs.

Wash hands with soap and water for a minimum of 20 seconds. Keep hands away from the face.

If you or a loved one feels ill, stay home and seek medical attention. Stay informed using the CDC.

As the battle against COVID-19 continues, MaidPro encourages people to take their sanitation seriously. Whether the virus is in your immediate area or not, taking preventative actions to keep yourself and home clean will support a higher quality of life.

A sensible, properly-priced individual earthquake product for the millions of condo owners without a master policy

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2020
Motus Insurance Services has just launched a new direct-to-consumer, earthquake insurance program aimed at solving the many issues facing California condominium associations. After working with the California Department of Insurance to deregulate access to master earthquake policies, the Motus Opt-in Master Earthquake Program is now available to all associations.
Fewer than ~5,000 of the ~35,000 condo associations in California have a traditional master earthquake policy. This leaves over 2.5 million condominium owners in California without the coverage of a master policy – which is the only way they can fully protect the equity in their homes.
Due to the companion policy provision of individual options, roughly 1.5 million condominium owners – or 10% of the California housing market – are not eligible to buy earthquake insurance.
Realizing these issues facing condo boards and unit owners, Motus brought together some of the most respected earthquake insurers and condo insurance specialists in California. This collaboration developed the Motus Opt-in Master Earthquake Program, which is backed by the largest, admitted earthquake carriers in California.
"We identified an urgent need in the condo community and worked to design a new insurance product that allows all owners to access the quality coverage and lower prices of a master policy," said Dan Wallis, CEO and Founder of Motus Insurance Services. "Boards benefit too, as the Motus Program allows them to fulfill their obligation to consider earthquake insurance. In fact, they are going a step further: they are offering tailored coverage to all owners and doing so without the burden a traditional master policy puts on an association budget."
With the Motus Opt-in Master Earthquake Program, all condo owners can fully protect the equity in their homes and have access to the pricing advantage of a master policy. When the California Department of Insurance approved the Motus Program, the barriers between insurance carriers and condo owners were finally removed.
About The Motus Solution
The Motus Opt-In Earthquake Program is designed to bring all the benefits of a traditional master earthquake insurance policy to the more than 30,000 associations and 2.5 million condo owners who are not covered by one.
Only a master earthquake policy can allow a condo owner to fully protect the equity in their home. This is because only a master policy can fully cover damages to residential buildings, foundations, garages, underground pipes and other common areas within the community. Traditional unit owner policies (which are only available to about 1 million of the 2.5 million condo owners who do not have a master policy) were designed to supplement a traditional master policy – not replace the coverage they provide.
Each Motus Program is custom-built based on the specific exposures of the association. Once the board approves the Motus Program for their association, each unit owner then has the option to purchase their pro-rated share of a master policy – covering unit interiors, residential buildings and common areas.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports that a death happens in three out of every five fires in homes that do not have an alarm. Hansen Enterprises of Paso Robles has recently published a report to help residents and business owners choose the right smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
Not only are smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms good safety common sense they are required by the State of California. California law requires that CO alarms and smoke alarms be installed outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms on every level of the home, including basements. Smoke alarms are also required on every floor regardless of whether there is a bedroom. The NFPA also recommends that all alarms be interconnected as an additional safety feature. If an alarm detects smoke in one area of the home, all of the alarms ring and notify the entire household to evacuate.
A combination CO and fire alarm is an option rather than buying and installing separate CO and fire alarms. Smoke alarms, fire alarms and now CO alarms, are terms that are often used interchangeably, even though they detect entirely different substances.
Fire/smoke alarms work by detecting heat or smoke. CO alarms work by detecting a certain amount of carbon monoxide. A combination detector detects heat, smoke and CO without needing to install separate detectors. The fire alarm experts at Paso Robles' Hansen Enterprises are ready to help anyone choose the right detectors and connect the entire alarm system for the best protection.
Because it is odorless, colorless and tasteless, carbon monoxide is known as the "silent killer." It is a gas that comes from the incomplete burning of fuel including gasoline, wood, propane, or natural gas. Without enough ventilation, CO can build to deadly levels and it doesn't take much. Even small gas-powered tools can make the operator sick when operated without proper ventilation.
The Center for Disease Control reports that at least 430 people die every year from accidental CO poisoning and approximately 50,000 per year visit the ER due to accidental CO poisoning. Inhaling smoke can be just as deadly as inhaling CO. In fact, smoke contains CO, along with other chemicals that can be toxic.
Smoke detectors work by detecting smoke with either ionization or photoelectric technology. Ionization smoke alarms contain a small amount of radioactive material that creates an ionization chamber between two electrically charged plates. When smoke enters the chamber it disturbs the ionization process and triggers the alarm. 

Photoelectric smoke alarms use a photoelectric sensor and a light source. Smoke crosses the path of the light beam, scattering the light, which sets off the alarm.

Combination smoke detectors utilize both technologies.

Carbon monoxide detectors work by sensing a certain amount of CO in the air.

Combination CO and smoke detectors use all three technologies.

There are a variety of options for getting the best protection and a free consultation and estimate from Hansen Enterprises is going to answer any questions as well as provide a solid understanding of which combination of protection is best for your home and how it's going to work.

This St. Patrick's Day, RestoraPet, a pet health supplement that restores wellness in older pets experiencing age-related decline and boosts the health and well-being of younger pets, advises owners of native Irish dog breeds to look out for specific health concerns from hip dysplasia to cataracts, and has provided pet lovers with the natural tools they need to combat them.
Among the most common health issues faced by Irish dog breeds is hip dysplasia. This is especially seen in breeds such as Irish Glen of Imaal Terriers, Irish Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers, Irish Wolfhounds, Irish Kerry Blue Terriers, and Irish Water Spaniels. In addition to hip problems, Irish dog breeds have been known to be prone to digestive issues such as bloating, hair loss and cataracts. Luckily, hope exists for pet lovers who select natural wellness options. By supplementing a balanced diet with proper vitamin intake, probiotics and regular grooming, Irish dogs can combat these predispositions and live long, healthy and prosperous lives.
"We're more than pet owners. We are pet parents," says RestoraPet CEO, Brian Larsen, "When pets develop health problems, many pet parents look to natural remedies before they give their pets heavier drugs and surgery. With St. Patrick's Day quickly approaching, we want to bring more than luck to these pet parents. We want to give them awareness of the specific needs of Irish breeds, so they can enjoy a long and healthy life together."
Specific recommendations for avoiding health concerns associated with Irish dog breeds include: 

Proper Vitamin Intake – A top tactic for avoiding several health concerns among Irish dog breeds is ensuring these dogs receive a proper balance of vitamins. Vitamins A, C, E, and Coenzyme Q10, are essential to ocular, digestive and muscular health.

Prioritizing Digestive Health – Adding probiotics into an Irish dog's diet is a safe and effective way for pet parents to aid in improving their dog's gastrointestinal health, a prominent concern for owners of Irish Setters. Putting a priority on digestive health has also shown to be effective in breeds such as Irish Water Spaniels, who can develop immune deficiencies which can be further combated with a whole food organic diet, massages, turmeric, Omega-3, vitamin E, selenium, vitamin C, probiotics, hydrotherapy, and acupuncture.

Proper Grooming – Hair loss and follicle tumors are often listed as concerns for Irish Water Spaniels and Kerry Blue Terriers. Pet owners can simply combat hair loss by incorporating humidity, apple cider vinegar, regular brushing, lemon juice, topical olive oil, and omega biotics into their pet's regular grooming routines.

A Truly Comprehensive Solution
RestoraPet's breakthrough blend of all-natural supplements and 12 antioxidants is designed to heal the cellar degeneration associated with aging from the first administered dose and is a truly complete solution for fighting common health concerns associated with Irish dog breeds. The organic, vegetarian & GMO-free formula includes 50 milligrams of Vitalitrol, a proprietary carbon-based antioxidant that begins working from the first administered dose to rehabilitate and protect every cell type in your pet's body, and actively combats inflammation with Omega3 and Omega-6, boosts immunity and fights infections with complete vitamin E, improves mobility, increases muscle strength, elevates energy levels, eases discomfort, improves mood, increases trainability, supports organ health (especially heart and kidney), improves skin and coat health with lutein and zeaxanthin and supports happier, healthier pets. RestoraPet is also the only anti-aging supplement offered in bacon and beef flavors to satisfy even the pickiest of pets.

Three not-for-profit organizations in the financial services industry have come together to create the Financial Security Alliance. The new partnership will answer several industry challenges including raising the level of financial literacy in American households, as well as raising awareness of career options in financial services. The new consumer-focused website of http://www.financialsecurityalliance.orgwill house the work of the Alliance. The new Alliance is governed by a steering committee that includes two industry representatives from each partner organization.
"NAILBA represents independent brokerage distribution, but who knows brokerage as a career option?" stated Dan LaBert, CEO. "Our members love what they do and faced with the number of people retiring from the industry, we need to cultivate the next generation of brokers. We joined the Financial Security Alliance to help shine light on an area of the financial services industry that is not well understood." The majority of NAILBA's membership works in a business-to-business model making it hard for consumers to understand brokerage as a career option. "We needed to put real faces to independent brokerage so that consumers understand how we work. I'm delighted to announce that Jim Sorebo, SVP Sales, Highland Capital Brokerage and Raymond Phillips of The Brokers Source will represent NAILBA for the Alliance."
The National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) is the professional association to 25,000 insurance and financial service professionals who do interact every day with consumers. "Our members are constantly delivering financial education to clients and are always telling people what a great career it is," stated Kevin Mayeux, CEO. "What the Alliance and http://www.financialsecurityalliance.org does for NAIFA is give us a way to aggregate all of the work we're already doing in communities and package it up in a way that all Americans can use. NAIFA has been improving the financial security of Americans in a private, one-to-one manner for 130 years. This new initiative allows us to provide financial literacy education to any consumer and have it delivered face-to-face or virtually by a trusted financial services professional." NAIFA named Paul Dougherty, State Farm, and Larry Holzberg of Wealth Advisory Group to serve on the Alliance's steering committee.
Life Happens is a nonprofit dedicated to educating consumers about the importance of life insurance and other related products for sound financial planning. The popular Life Insurance Needs Calculator and educational materials that Life Happens produces and distributes through its online Life Happens Pro platform are widely used by NAIFA members in their insurance and financial planning work with clients and prospects. Life Happens may be best known for creating and coordinating September's Life Insurance Awareness Month, in which they engage celebrity spokespeople who relate their own stories to the value of life insurance. In recent years, Life Happens has expanded past insurance to include educating consumers on annuities. "We joined the Alliance because consumer education is core to our mission. We saw an opportunity to contribute our content to more consumers while highlighting the profession as a career choice," explained Fasia Stafford, President and CEO of Life Happens. "I'm delighted to announce that two past NAIFA chairs, Tom Currey and Cliff Wilson, will represent Life Happens to the Alliance."
"The new steering committee of the Financial Security Alliance is composed of good people dedicating their time to do good work," explained Mayeux.

NGD Homesharing, LLC (NGD), a unique company that owns and operates multifamily and hospitality brands, has reached a settlement with Airbnb in connection with the legal disputes between the parties in Florida and California. NGD had previously filed a lawsuit against Airbnb in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit in Miami-Dade County, Florida on January 24, 2020 (Case No. 2020-001849-CA-01). The lawsuit alleged that Airbnb, in its capacity as a majority member of NGD, engaged in a pattern of "disruptive, dilatory, tortious, and bad-faith actions inconsistent with, and in violation of, the legal and contractual obligations Airbnb owes to NGD." Similarly, Airbnb had filed a lawsuit against NGD in the United States District Court, Northern District of California (No. 20-cv-549) asserting various claims for relief arising from their business relationship.
Now both sides have reached a settlement to resolve their business disputes, and the two lawsuits have been voluntarily dismissed with prejudice. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
"I am happy this litigation is behind us and now it's business as usual," said Founder and CEO Harvey Hernandez of NGD Homesharing, LLC. "I look forward to continuing work with Airbnb and other home sharing booking platforms in the future."
Attorney Michael G. Austin, from McDermott Will & Emery, LLP, who represented NGD in this matter, said that, "NGD and Airbnb have reached a mutually acceptable settlement of their business disputes, and both parties have now dismissed their respective lawsuits with prejudice to effectively end all litigation between them. The parties can now focus their energy on moving forward with their respective business operations."
NGD's multifamily and hospitality properties are operated uniquely where residents can rent out their apartments or condos on home-sharing platforms such as Airbnb and others to earn extra income.
NGD currently operates through two primary brands: (i) Niido and (ii) Natiivo with operations in Orlando, FL; Nashville, TN; Austin, TX and Miami, FL.

"Schools have been using Sworkit for years, but a few weeks ago we started getting reports of how Sworkit is helping educators mitigate Coronavirus disruptions," states Sworkit's CEO, Gregory Coleman. He goes on to say, "English-speaking schools on indefinite lockdown in China and other parts of Asia were starting to tell us how their students and faculty were using Sworkit to stay in shape and to get out the excess energy while being confined to their homes."
Although Sworkit's fitness app was originally designed for adults looking to work out at home, in 2018, Sworkit started providing its paid subscription program, including content filmed with and for children, to schools at no cost through its Sworkit Youth Initiative. Within 18 months of launch, nearly 4,500 schools in 49 states and 30 countries signed up for the program, making it available to over 3,700,000 students worldwide.
In the last week, Sworkit has been actively communicating with schools in California and the state of Washington, to include some in the Greater Seattle area. Joe Bisignano, Director of PE, Health and Wellness at a school in Seattle, WA states, "As a school, we have been charged with figuring out ways to teach remotely in the event that we have to close the school. We are trying to figure out how Sworkit might be part of that plan."
Bisignano goes on to share more about the challenges teachers are facing, "As we look at having students out of the building and away from school, one of our big fears is that their overall health will suffer in our attempt to keep them from getting sick. We need to be able to give them options that bring motivation, structure, purpose, and accountability. Based on what we have seen with students using the app at school we are optimistic that for some of our students – Sworkit checks most, if not all of those boxes." That school is also planning on recommending that students work out for 30 minutes each day or 60 minutes every other day.
"This is a scenario we never imagined. We started the Sworkit Youth Initiative to empower teachers and give them a tool to make fitness fun and accessible to students. To see things rapidly evolve like this shows how important connected fitness is in 2020 and how the productive use of technology can not only improve lives but also mitigate disruptions to it", Sworkit's Greg Coleman says.
A statement by another educator at school in China sums up the response of many educators and parents. He states, "What your company has done for our children and staff will not be forgotten."

Albertson & Davidson, LLP, a California Trust and Estate Litigation firm, announced today that they secured an important victory in their client's financial elder abuse case against Thomas Yoshio Itow. Honorable David L. Belz, Judge of the Orange County Superior Court, determined that the facts presented by the firm in the matter of the Itow Family Trust met the evidence standard required for the ruling.
Under California financial elder abuse law, four elements must be proven to establish undue influence: (1) vulnerability of the victim, (2) apparent authority of the wrongdoer, (3) actions and tactics of the wrongdoer, and (4) an inequitable result.
In the ruling of Orange County Superior Court case no. 2018-01027543, Judge Belz said that Yoko Itow, the defendant's mother, was vulnerable due to her age, health, and isolation from her family. As a family member, care provider, and fiduciary, Thomas Itow exercised authority over his mother which led to the disinheritance of her daughter, petitioner Nancy Thompson, which was an inequitable result. The court also found that Thomas Itow committed financial elder abuse by "taking and obtaining real or personal property" belonging to his mother when he transferred the family residence into a newly formed Trust from which he would receive all of her assets.
"This is an important win for the protection of our elderly citizens," said Jeff Hall, partner with Albertson & Davidson, LLP and lead trial attorney for Nancy Thompson. "While we are happy to have helped our client fight against Financial Elder Abuse, there are many more cases out there where families are struggling with the devastating effects of elder abuse."
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, at least ten percent of senior citizens – more than 5 million elders – will experience some form of elder abuse in a given year. Financial elder abuse makes up more than half of these cases.
As for the Estate of Yoko Itow, Judge Belz ordered the return of her real property, invalidation of the family Trust, and appointment of Nancy Thompson as Executor of the Estate of Yoko Itow. The ruling effectively returns Yoko Itow's estate to its rightful heirs by invalidating the documents her son obtained through the use of undue influence.
"This ruling is a complete victory for our client," added Hall. "But more than that, it exemplifies the strength of our justice system in helping to protect elders from future abuse."
About Albertson & Davidson, LLP 
Founded in 2008, Albertson & Davidson, LLP, are California estate litigation attorneys for trust, will, and probate matters. The firm believes in standing up and fighting for abused trust and will beneficiaries who are in danger of losing their rightful inheritances. Albertson & Davidson, LLP handles cases throughout California with offices in San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego. To date, Albertson & Davidson, LLP has secured over $130 million in verdicts and settlements for its clients.

For all dog lovers who want to meet someone who share the same passion, the perfect singles event has been created and will held on 19th of March in London.

LONDON (PRWEB) MARCH 12, 2020
You only have to stand outside a supermarket with a cute dog to understand just exactly what your dog can do to improve your love life. Your dog is likely to get inundated with love and affection. And whilst we do understand that's not really the goal for you in improving your relationship status, it does show you that if you are a dog owner, your dog could be your wingman if the circumstances were right.
So, whilst not necessarily advocating hanging about outside shops waiting for your ideal date to come along and lavish your dog with praise and attention, London-based singles company, Speeddater Ltd., have come up with an even better idea... Dating with your Dog!
The event will allow people to turn up to a dog-friendly venue in London with their furry friend and then meet potential dates who are also made about their pets.
Bringing your dog is optional, but it will be the best way to see if your dogs hit it off as friends, which could be the first step on your journey to finding love.
Even without a dog you will know that everybody at the event is a dog lover, so you will have an immediate ice breaker and something in common straight away.
When: Thursday 19th March. 6.30pm 
Where: Megan's 
204 Kensington High Street 
London 
W8 7RG

An Update Regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19) and MatzaFun Tours 19th Annual Passover.
There is no higher priority to our entire Matzafun Tours Family than the Safety of our Guests and Employees. We are dedicated to following the protocols of medical professionals, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and the New Jersey Department of Health to stay on top of this situation as we execute our 19TH "Sold Out" Passover 2020 event at Ocean Place Resort & Spa in Long Branch New Jersey. EPA approved, hospital-grade disinfectant is used in the kitchen, lavatories, sleeping rooms, and public spaces. Additional cleaning and disinfecting is being done throughout the hotel on a regular basis. We are providing disinfectant wipes, alcohol wipes and Purell stations that are easily available to our guests and employees throughout public areas.
All of our food service personnel culinary as well as waiter staff are equipped with gloves during food preparation and service times. All guests prior to entering dinning and tea room will be required to sanitize their hands with Purell. Matzafun personnel will be available to monitor this.
As in past years we have once again hired our own security personnel to monitor outside guests and advise that the hotel is closed for a private function and is available only to our guests.
According to the most recent information from the CDC, for most people, the immediate risk of being exposed to the virus that causes COVID-19 is thought to be low.
Rest assured, we are monitoring this developing situation closely, staying in regular contact with medical professional, health organizations, and other experts. We also ask our guests to keep in mind the guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control to minimize your risk before, during and after your stay at the hotel:
We would like to share the recommended guidelines from the Center for Disease Control(CDC)
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. 
Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth. 
Stay in your room if you become sick. 
Cover your cough sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. 
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using regular household cleaning spray or wipes which we have available onsite. Especially cell phones. 
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 second, especially after using the bathroom; before eating; after being in a public place and touching surfaces in common areas, and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. 
If soap and water are not readily available use alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol, but always wash hand with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.(CDC 2020)
To lower this risk even further, the CDC recommends the following:
To the extent possible, avoid touching high-touch services in public places-elevator buttons, door handles, handrails, handshaking with people, etc. Use tissue or your sleeve to cover your hand or finger if you must touch something or wash your hand or use sanitizer which will be stationed throughout the hotel afterwards.
Replace handshakes with foot taps or elbow bumps.
Avoid crowding together in limited ventilated spaces. Spread out take advantage of the outdoor spaces as weather permits including our beautiful patios gorgeous beach and boardwalk.
If you are experiencing flu-like symptoms we respectfully ask, that you contact a medical professional to get the appropriate medical care and attention prior to arriving at the hotel this Passover.

Report estimates $807 billion price tag, little net impact on short-run economy

PHILADELPHIA (PRWEB) MARCH 12, 2020
In response to the economic effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19), the Trump administration has called for a temporary payroll tax holiday that would eliminate all Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes.
Penn Wharton Budget Model (PWBM) has modeled the budgetary, economic, and distributional effects of this proposal, estimating that: 

The payroll tax holiday would cost the federal government $807 billion if the holiday were run from April 1 through December 31, 2020.

Households in the bottom 20 percent of the income distribution—those households with the highest willingness to spend their tax savings—would receive about 2 percent of the total tax cut and only a third of these households would see any tax benefit due to their low levels of taxable income, limiting the policy's stimulus potential.

The payroll tax holiday would have little net impact on the short-run economy, but the additional federal deficits resulting from the holiday would crowd out productive investment and slow the long-run economy by 0.1 percent in 2030 and 0.2 percent in 2050.

For more information, see the full PWBM payroll tax holiday analysis.

When You Drink and Drive, Luck is Never on Your Side

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) MARCH 12, 2020
Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is urging everyone to keep their St. Patrick's Day festivities safe by planning ahead for a non-drinking driver before leaving home.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), midnight to 5:59 a.m. on St. Patrick's Day and the following morning are extremely dangerous. In 2018, 62% of all traffic deaths between the hours of midnight and 5:59 a.m. on March 17 and the same six-hour period on March 18 involved a drunk driver.
"On a day when many plans are made around consuming alcohol, one thing to never leave to chance is making sure you have a safe, non-drinking driver to get you home safely," said MADD National President Helen Witty. "We want everyone to have fun, but stay safe by making a plan before heading out. After the first drink, your judgment is already impaired."
Nationwide, drunk driving killed 73 people in 2018 — 39 percent of all traffic fatalities — during the St. Patrick's Day holiday period from 6 p.m. March 16 to 5:59 a.m. on March 18. From 2014 to 2018 during the St. Patrick's Day holiday period, 249 people died in drunk driving crashes.
Drunk driving is the leading killer on our roads and claimed the lives of 10,511 people in the United States in 2018. Every single one of those deaths is preventable. In addition, driving while impaired by other drugs — legal and illegal — causes devastating and preventable tragedies. With all the options today — rideshare apps, such as Uber, taxis, public transportation or family and friends who have not consumed alcohol — there's no excuse to drive while impaired.
About Mothers Against Drunk Driving 
Founded in 1980 by a mother whose daughter was killed by a drunk driver, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is the nation's largest nonprofit working to end drunk driving, help fight drugged driving, support the victims of these violent crimes and prevent underage drinking. MADD has helped to save more than 390,000 lives, reduce drunk driving deaths by more than 50 percent and promote designating a non-drinking driver. MADD's Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving calls for law enforcement support, ignition interlocks for all offenders and advanced vehicle technology. MADD has provided supportive services to nearly one million drunk and drugged driving victims and survivors at no charge through local victim advocates and the 24-Hour Victim Help Line 1-877-MADD-HELP. Visit http://www.madd.org or call 1-877-ASK-MADD.

Two Cincinnati Tent Rental Companies Join to Enhance Customer Experience and Streamline Operations. Both owners started in the tent rental business in 1999 working together, before starting their own companies and ultimately reuniting.

CINCINNATI (PRWEB) MARCH 12, 2020
Academy Rental Group, a full service tent and event rental business located in Cincinnati, was formed by A Gogo Event Rentals and Academy Rentals merging together in 2019. While both companies provided tent and party rental services in the Cincinnati area, each focused on different industry markets. A Gogo focused on corporate events, graduation and wedding rentals. Academy Rentals services community events, festivals, benefits, backyard parties and large scale events. The owners of each company have a long history together dating back to 1999 when they both worked in the event rental industry together before running their own companies.
From the co-founder - "We are extremely excited about the merger of our companies. The merger allows us to enhance the level of service to our customers, increase operational efficiencies and provide a better infrastructure for our staff to grow. We've been able to do a lot of great things already with the merger, we added a tent washer to increase our quality control and we have provided a "one stop shop" for our existing customers previously using two seperate vendors. One major initiative that we are most excited about was beefing up our benefits program to our employees. We now offer health, dental, vision, long term disability and a retirement plan. We hope that in the challenging times of hiring in today's world, this will enable us to reduce turnover, providing a more consistent customer experience by retaining trained staff for longer. So far, it is working out great!"
Interested persons can find out more about their services: Cincinnati Tent Rental Services
According to their website, Academy Rental Group is a family-owned business run by co-owners Ed Layer and Chad Gilbert. Both owners shared the same vision of streamlining the operations and exceeding their customers expectations by providing a boutique customer service approach, providing memorable and stress free events to their customers. Academy Rental Group services areas Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Southeast Indiana. 
Academy Rental Group is fully insured by the Huesman Schmid Insurance Agency, is an ARA member and belongs to many local chambers in the Cincinnati and Northern KY region.
"Our online customer reviews on Google and Facebook show the dedication we have to ensuring each event is a success, we strive to exceed our customers expectations. Our staff takes great pride in our work and products" - Chad Gilbert - Co-Founder
One of the frequently asked questions the tent rental company receives is how the tent renting process works. According to the company's website, A customer will typically provide an online request or call for a quote. Once that is done, Academy Rental Groups' staff will complete a quote and send that along with a tent layout (CAD Drawing) and a welcome packet that provides more information about their company and tent rental. Once the customers are prepared to move forward with the tent rental, a signature is required on the invoice, along with a Credit Card Number and a 50% non refundable deposit. At that time Academy Rental Group will allocate their inventory for their customers event in their inventory management system, securing their rental product needs. A week prior to their event the customer will be contacted with their estimated delivery and pick up time. During that time, Academy Rental Group will deliver and install the customers products. Typically delivery and pick up happen during the week, that is the most cost effective option. The time required for set up depends on the items requested. It is always helpful to have someone onsite during delivery. However, for the pick up of your items, as long as everything is located under the tent, no one is required. Final payment is due prior to installation.
Academy Rental Groups inventory consists of numerous tent sizes for grass and hard surfaces, festival booths, chairs, tables, linens, dance floor, stages, a wide variety meeting and party rental equipment to service any size guests count. They operate a 22,000 square foot warehouse and employ 16 full time people.

For some, the need for a ramp is urgent and time-sensitive, due to a fall or surgery. We want consumers to have all the information at their hands when they are making these important decisions," said Garth Walker, Managing Director at National Ramp.

VALLEY COTTAGE, N.Y. (PRWEB) MARCH 13, 2020
National Ramp published a list of easily-made mistakes during the ramp purchasing process to educate consumers.
"For some, the need for a ramp is urgent and time-sensitive, due to a fall or surgery. We want consumers to have all the information at their hands when they are making these important decisions," said Garth Walker, Managing Director at National Ramp.
Cheap Today Could be Expensive Tomorrow 
A sole focus on the cheapest option available could lead to future financial issues. An unusable wheelchair ramp installed by someone unfamiliar in ramp safety could be a waste of money, while the maintenance cost of some cheaper ramp options can add up over time to an unsustainable amount.
Homemade is Not Always Best 
"At National Ramp, we regularly see examples of people taking the ramp into their own hands, and rarely are these ramps safe for anyone to use, let alone a person in a wheelchair. Some consumers reach out to us once they realize how dangerous that homemade ramp is," said Walker.
ADA Requirements Exist for a Reason 
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a civil rights law offering federal protections for people with disabilities. Within the law are guidelines for an ada handicap ramp. While these guidelines are not mandatory for residential facilities (depending on local codes), adherence to these guidelines is strongly advised, especially for people self-ambulating in a manual wheelchair or using a walker.
According to Walker, "While a power chair or scooter may allow for a shorter ramp than the ADA suggests, you should never install a ramp at a slope steeper than your device's user manual recommends. A trained, knowledgeable dealer can work with you to make sure the ramp is safe for your regular use."
National Ramp published a summary of the ADA ramp requirements on their website.
Ask Questions of the Ramp Dealer 
Some commercially-available ramps are narrower than the ADA-required 36". These ramps could cause someone with a wide mobility device to scrape their hands on the ramp or catch their wheels on the corners of the platforms.
"Make sure to ask questions about the dimensions and comfort of the ramp by the dealer during the home assessment. A knowledgeable dealer should offer you a ramp that is wide and safe enough for your use," said Walker. "And before they leave after the ramp install, you or someone you trust should test the ramp to make sure it isn't moving and that all handrail connections are smooth."
Don't Wait Until It's Too Late 
Wheelchair ramps are not just for people who use wheelchairs. For those who have a history of trips and uneasy footing, a ramp can be a huge preventative measure against the damage and cost of a fall.
Founded in 2005, National Ramp is a leading manufacturer of modular ramps.

Let's Talk Interactive announces new COVID-19 Telehealth Response Platform as it continues to stay at the forefront of providing measures nationwide to ensure adequate control of the coronavirus.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (PRWEB) MARCH 13, 2020
Let's Talk Interactive, Inc., a leading provider of customizable telehealth solutions including a sophisticated HIPAA-compliant video conferencing platform, today announces the firm's new COVID-19 Telehealth Response Platform as it continues to stay at the forefront of providing measures nationwide to ensure adequate control of the coronavirus.
The firm's telemedicine solutions include the ability to push live bio-analytics, call triage, complete e-documents, medical care on-demand as well as a SecureVideo platform, which has proven effectiveness in supporting health systems during a prior Ebola outbreak. With the infiltration of COVID-19 throughout the U.S. and the subsequent rapid daily changes to societal operations, response scalability is of utmost importance to manage a public health crisis.
In response to COVID-19, Let's Talk Interactive's SecureVideo platform will manage high volumes of patients requiring screening, isolated in home environments, and in need of remote medical care. Using the Virtual Clinic features, organizations can create queues for different patient groups, such as patients requesting screening and patients that have tested positive and require monitoring. Queues can also be created for different categories of providers, such as screeners, nurses, and physicians. Patients can request consults on-demand with the different provider groups, or consultations can be scheduled as needed.
"High-volume patient management in isolated environments paired with remote medical care are optimized throughout our telehealth platform," explained Art Cooksey, Founder and CEO of Let's Talk Interactive. "This is essential in helping prevent the spread of the virus - especially among healthcare providers who are needed on the front lines."
Key components of the platform include: 

Screening and advice from a queue of logged-in nurses

Triage for physicians, translators and other professionals to be added to consultations on-demand

Home monitoring for patients in isolation in home environments; they can use their own devices (computers, phones, tablets)

Provider communication through secure chat features

Customized system to the unique requirements of each organization

Data management capabilities enable providers to export patient data and analytics; e-documents allow for creating patient forms

24-7 U.S.-based technical support

Let's Talk Interactive has been on the front lines of emergency health services since 2001. Most recently, the Telehealth Portals were made available to students within Florida's Panhandle, a region that is still devastated following 2018's Hurricane Michael and those impacted are some of the youngest in the state. As a result, 126 custom Telehealth Kiosks and iPad Portals were installed by the start of the school year within a record 42 day turnaround time. The effort, made available via insurance, Medicaid and Medicare and grants available through Big Bend Community Based Care (BBCBC), enables providers to offer counseling services through the Let's Talk Interactive online platform. Students within these six Florida counties are able to access psychiatric care through the Telehealth Portals during the school day.
"We are an experienced team, able to move mountains with our partners here in the U.S. to quickly adapt to any crisis that creates the need for remote support from medical professionals. We will continue to do our part by utilizing our technology to help combat the potential devastation of the COVID-19 outbreak," remarked Cooksey.
About Let's Talk Interactive, Inc.

The Newair Beverage Froster is the latest luxury for in-home entertainment

CYPRESS, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 13, 2020
NewAir Appliances launched the Froster on February 28th, just in time to create the ultimate live entertainment experience in the safety and comfort of your own home. A beverage, chilled to a refreshing 23F in the Froster, will transport basketball fans to a luxury suite experience—the fridge creates that frosty-cold finish that beverage drinkers have come to love while watching their favorite March basketball game.
The Froster comes with two features that put a homeowner's relaxation at the center of attention: Party and Turbo modes. Last-minute partiers decide to stop by? Turn on Turbo mode to frost additional beverages in an hour. Its innovative Party mode works hard while allowing hosts to stay in party mode. No matter how many times a guest goes to grab a frosted beverage—letting all the cold air out—Party mode will keep the contents consistently frosty.
"With all of the focus on avoiding crowds, the Froster is the perfect solution to feeling like you're experiencing the game from a luxury suite," says Influencer Marketing Manager Mikaela Viloria, "The Froster does more than store beer, it helps create an unforgettable experience during the moments that matter most."
Basketball season is only the beginning and as the temperature starts to heat up outside, keep the beverages frosty-cold inside. The NewAir Froster disrupts the beverage industry with its unique features and sets the tone for the future groundbreaking products the company is launching in 2020.

Cryo-Cell International, Inc., the world's first private use cord blood bank, announced today the results of specimen testing completed on samples stored from 1996, and determined stability of 23+ years with CD34 viability of 92% or greater.

OLDSMAR, FLA. (PRWEB) MARCH 13, 2020
Cryo-Cell International's announcement is concurrent with the most recent research regarding the lifespan of stored cord blood performed by Dr. Hal Boxmeyer and colleagues, which determined sample viability of 23.5 years and suggested possible, indefinite length of storage time for cryogenically preserved cells under proper conditions. Cryo-Cell International marks the first family cord blood bank to release results concerning specimen viability for this length of time.
Since cord blood banking has only been in existence for 30 years, these findings indicate that specimen longevity nearly spans the lifetime of the industry. Research points to the idea that other cryogenically preserved cells remain undiminished by time, as long as cells are preserved at optimal storage temperature, where cellular activity is known to halt. Cryo-Cell International, Inc., stands as the only private use cord blood bank in the U.S. to receive the Foundation for the Accreditation for Cellular Therapy (FACT) accreditation, which addresses all quality aspects of cord blood collection, processing, testing, banking, selection and release of specimens.
Todd Schuesler, Director of Cryo-Cell International's laboratory and cryopreservation facility, noted, "Cryo-Cell is accredited by FACT, AABB, and ISO13485, making us one of the most accredited cord blood banks in the U.S. These accreditations are only awarded to organizations with exceptional quality systems and acute commitment to customer care. It's our employees who make the difference; for many, it is personal, based on previous or current experiences with diseases that can or will potentially be treated with stem cells." Having access to cord blood and cord tissue for the treatment of diseases developed much later in life will prove to be invaluable as evolving research continues to reveal potential uses.
"These are simply amazing results that validates our belief that, if properly processed and maintained at the proper temperature, cryogenically preserved cord blood stem cells can provide regenerative benefits for at least the baby's lifetime and likely for generations thereafter," said David Portnoy, Cryo-Cell International's Chairman and Co-CEO. Currently, cord blood stem cells have been FDA-approved for standard treatment in nearly 80 diseases. Numerous clinical trials are underway to explore the use of umbilical stem cells in the treatment of various degenerative conditions, including autism and cerebral palsy.
About Cryo-Cell International, Inc.
Founded in 1989, Cryo-Cell International, Inc. is the world's first private cord blood bank. More than 500,000 parents from 87 countries trust Cryo-Cell to preserve their family members' stem cells. Cryo-Cell's mission is to provide clients with state-of-the-art stem cell cryopreservation services and support the advancement of regenerative medicine. Cryo-Cell operates in a facility that is FDA registered, cGMP-/cGTP-compliant, and is licensed in all states requiring licensure. Besides being AABB accredited as a cord blood facility, Cryo-Cell is also the first U.S. (for private use only) cord blood bank to receive FACT accreditation for adhering to the most stringent cord blood quality standards set by any internationally recognized, independent accrediting organization. In addition, Cryo-Cell is ISO 9001:2008 certified by BSI, an internationally recognized, quality assessment organization. Cryo-Cell is a publicly-traded company, OTCQB:CCEL.

SAN DIEGO (PRWEB) MARCH 13, 2020
BM Windows, an independent replacement window dealer in San Diego, California, announced recently that they are now offering a no-cost sound suppression upgrade on the Anlin Windows they sell. This offer is available to all customers purchasing Anlin brand windows directly from BM Windows, and applies to windows with annealed glass—the type of glass found in most replacement windows.
Typically, the sound suppression package is offered as an optional upgrade by Anlin Window dealers, but BM Windows has negotiated this special deal with Anlin and is now able to offer windows with the noise reduction system at no additional cost to their San Diego customers.
The sound suppression package that is available on Anlin Windows has been proven to reduce up to 50% of outside noise when compared to typical dual-pane windows.
Michal Bohm, Owner of BM Windows, said of the offer, "The sound suppression package is an ideal upgrade for homes on busy streets, near the airport or a school, or for homeowners who simply don't want to be bothered by the sounds of their neighbors or their pets. It really does make homes noticeably quieter, and therefore more comfortable. We are excited to be able to offer this upgrade to our customers at no cost to them."
Bohm continued, "Anlin makes phenomenal products that we've been recommending to our customers for many years now. They are some of the best windows out there—extremely energy efficient and durable—and they come at a great price point when you consider their quality. Adding the sound suppression package to Anlin Windows really puts them over the top!"
To receive the sound suppression upgrade at no cost, Anlin Windows must be purchased through BM Windows in San Diego. This is not a limited-time offer and there is currently no minimum purchase necessary to receive the free upgrade. Windows or patio doors containing tempered glass, also known as safety glass, are not included in this offer, nor are windows from other manufacturers sold by BM Windows, such as Monte Verde and Bayview windows.
San Diego homeowners looking to take advantage of this offer should contact BM Windows to learn more and to schedule a free in-home consultation.

Bill Would Provide $1.2 billion in Emergency Financial Aid Funds to College Students

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) MARCH 13, 2020
NASFAA President Justin Draeger today issued the following statement on S. 3489 Supporting Students in Response to Coronavirus Act, a bill introduced Friday morning by Sens. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), and Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.):
"Over the last week we've seen colleges and universities across the country taking preventative measures to protect their students and campus communities from the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). Some have moved their operations completely online, while others have asked students to leave for their scheduled spring break and not return to campus, or to vacate campus premises immediately. Widespread closures and shifts to online learning of this sort are wholly unprecedented for college students and those in financial aid offices. The Department of Education has taken steps to offer guidance and support to institutions of higher education as the situation continues to unfold, but many outstanding issues will require Congress to take action.
Sens. Murray, Gillibrand, and Schumer today introduced a bill that would provide $1.2 billion in emergency financial aid funds to support students and institutions as they navigate this unprecedented territory. The bill also provides institutions flexibility as they consider students' academic progress and calculations on Federal Student Aid funds that need to be returned in the face of disruptions. 
NASFAA applauds these lawmakers for acting quickly to find a solution to support financial aid recipients, who may now find themselves in dire situations in the face of this pandemic. We look forward to working with lawmakers as this situation unfolds and the impact of these closures and shifts to online learning come into focus."
For more information and resources on how the spread of the novel coronavirus is impacting student financial aid, please refer to NASFAA's COVID-19 Web Center. To request an interview with a NASFAA spokesperson, please contact Erin Powers.
About NASFAA
The National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA) is a nonprofit membership organization that represents more than 28,000 financial aid professionals at nearly 3,000 colleges, universities, and career schools across the country. NASFAA member institutions serve nine out of every ten undergraduates in the United States.

GoNoodle is announcing the launch of GoNoodle Games, a free iOS app that makes screen time active, letting kids control the suite of games using their movements. GoNoodle Games uses Open CV-based computer vision and machine learning technology to detect movement and bring kids into the action, without requiring any additional hardware. GoNoodle Games gets kids jumping, ducking, dodging, and holding a pose while playing fast-paced mini-games each with unique movements, obstacles, and opportunities to earn points.

Engaging Content Kids Love: The same people who developed GoNoodle's leading movement and mindfulness platform developed GoNoodle Games. Every element of the games are designed to be active, engaging, and good for kids.

GoNoodle Favorites in a New Medium: The GoNoodle Games app features kids' favorite characters, moves, and music that they giggle and wiggle to every day in the classroom and adds a new, fun game-play twist!

A Free, Easy Entertainment Option: The GoNoodle Games app doesn't require any extra hardware and ties real-time movement to game outcomes. All you need is a mobile phone or tablet, the free GoNoodle Games app.

"With the launch of GoNoodle Games, we are providing safe, active screen time built around characters that are loved by millions of kids and trusted by millions of teachers," said Ann Howard, VP of Product, GoNoodle. "GoNoodle Games will give kids new opportunities to move, and busy families new ways to entertain their children that they can feel good about. By using technology that is already in over 80 percent of U.S. households, we can truly bring movement-based entertainment to all kids, everywhere."

Empathy UK Funeral Plans have announced a novel funeral cover product which promises cover for all aspects of your funeral, at a fixed cost. In recent years, funeral costs have risen exponentially at an alarming rate.

MANCHESTER, UK (PRWEB) MARCH 14, 2020
In 2004, the average cost of a funeral was £1,920. However, now, an average funeral in the UK costs £4,605, this represents an increase of 45%. While traditional methods of funeral cost cover remain popular, such as life insurance policies, savings plans and over 50s insurance cover, prepaid funeral plans are the latest product in a market with limited options.
Empathy UK Funeral Plans promise cover for an exhaustive range of services, while promising fixed costs and flexible payment options. Life insurance policies and savings plans do not adequately adjust for inflation. Such forms of funeral cover also come with a number of risks which could jeopardise your pay out entirely or reduce its value. Similarly, future funeral costs rising due to inflation are not accounted for either.
Empathy UK's novel service covers many funeral essentials as standard. These include: funeral preparations, cremation fees, 24/7 advice, funeral director arrangements, care of the deceased, the provision of a hearse and the provision of all funeral staff.
Alongside the obvious benefits offered by Empathy UK's prepaid funeral plans over traditional products, the unique service offers customers numerous other benefits. Empathy UK's range of prepaid funeral plans all allow for three payment options. Choose from a one-off single payment, a 12-month fee-free payment plan or a low-deposit flexible instalment plan.
Also, with Empathy UK, you can choose a long-term payment plan which could work out to less than £1 per day. Empathy UK do not require a medical before you sign up, nor are any products age-restricted. Finally, with partners across the UK, Empathy offer fixed funeral prices nationwide.

Planning ahead for a wedding, a party or any event helps reduce stress and having a checklist is one way to know exactly what has been done. All About Events, the San Luis Obispo wedding rentals company, recently released a checklist to help hosts and hostesses, brides and grooms, and professional event planners get through those last hectic weeks before the big event.
The ability to rent everything needed for a great party, from the dance floor to the silverware, even a mobile suite, frees the planner from worrying about the venue. Venues are often booked months, if not up to a year in advance. Missing that window for the first choice venue doesn't have to mean the choices are limited when you have access to a full-service professional event supplier. 

What if the top choices for venues don't have kitchen or catering services?

What if the top choices don't have enough seating?

What if the top choices don't have outdoor shelter or seating?

What if the top choice is not even in or near a building?

Why be limited by a venue's lack of amenities?
Here is a list of the top supplies and furnishings needed for a wedding reception, family and friends reunion, corporate event or a big backyard barbecue:

Tents and umbrellas for shade and shelter

Tables and chairs

China

Flatware

Linens

Glassware

Catering equipment

Serving ware

Lighting

A bar

Dance floor and staging

Even before starting the "great venue search" for a party or wedding, call a rental company like San Luis Obispo's All About Events to discover what is available before calling venues. Knowing what your resources are ahead of time eliminates frustration if the top venue choices are not available.
Experience is important. A rental company that has years of event planning experience and very familiar with local venues in addition to a wide variety of equipment is going to be the most helpful.
All About Events has received the WeddingWire 2020 Couples Choice Award, its sixth award from WeddingWire, the California Wedding Magazine awards for the past five years, plus numerous other awards. Check out the "Gallery" and "2020 LookBook" on the All About Events website then give them a call to get your planning list started.

Every year, thousands of storage units go into default across the United States and it's not a good experience for the storage facility or the renter. Rick Runnells, owner of River Road Mini Storage in Paso Robles, CA, says that it costs management to process the liens, including auction notices, and selling someone's personal property does not always cover the past due rent and expenses.
"No one wants another to lose their personal property," said Runnells. "The laws that oversee self-storage units in California are written to give the tenant every reasonable opportunity to get caught up on rent and other charges or to move out of the unit. Most storage managers start the lien process as a last resort."
Life happens, and it's important to keep in touch with storage management when difficulties arise. An accident, an unexpected illness, or some other unforeseen event that might cause a delay in payment can most often be worked out to everyone's satisfaction.
The California Self Storage Facility Act, that is part of the California Business and Professions Code, is very specific about how storage facility management must start and complete a lien. It is also specific about what the renter can do to stop the lien and recovery their property. 

The storage manager can't do anything until payment is at least 14 days late. Then, a "Preliminary Lien Notice" may be sent, notifying the renter that his or her right to use and enter the storage facility will end on a specific date. The termination date must be no less than 14 days from the date on the preliminary notice.

If the renter does not respond by the termination date, management sends a "Notice of Lien Sale," stating a date after which the contents of the storage unit will be sold. The sale date must be no less than 14 days after the "Notice of Lien Sale."

The renter may avoid a lien sale by paying the amount of the lien or send a declaration opposing the lien sale to management by certified mail.

If the date provided in the "Notice of Lien Sale" passes without the renter paying, management must advertise the anticipated sale in a publication, once a week for two weeks.

The renter still has the opportunity to pay off the lien during the publication period, but may not get property returned until later.

If the sale goes forward, the renter has the right to any amount left over after past due rent, late charges and other expenses.

The chances are that a temporary solution can be worked out if a renter is late due to unfortunate circumstances beyond his or her control. It is important to notify the storage management as soon as possible to avoid any complications.
Other things a renter can do to help avoid the lien process include:

Set up automatic payments so the monthly rent is deducted from your bank account

Keep the automatic payment system updated with new expiration dates if using a debit or credit card

Provide a secondary debit or credit card in case the first one doesn't process for any reason

Read the rental contract so you know exactly what your obligations are

Pay ahead a month or two or pay ahead when you are going on vacation, a business trip, or going in for a scheduled medical procedure

Notify storage management when you are going to be out of town for more than a few days

Consider downsizing to a more affordable unit before financial difficulties get out of hand

Allow plenty of time if moving out of the unit is the best solution

River Road Mini Storage is a secure self-storage facility dedicated to making the needs of its customers a top priority. The company's goal is to supply Paso Robles with a friendly, clean and secure facility at a reasonable price.

Spring weather presents the opportunity for homeowners to schedule annual maintenance and chimney sweeping with one of central Connecticut's leading chimney experts

FARMINGTON, CT (PRWEB) MARCH 16, 2020
With winter just having passed and spring making its slow but steady arrival, homeowners across central Connecticut have stopped using their fireplaces.
The timely maintenance of fireplaces is closely associated with the safety and wellbeing of homeowners and their families. It's essential to schedule annual maintenance for their chimneys and fireplaces, since the health and safety hazards exacerbate with neglect.
As a result of prolonged and consistent use in the winter months it's easy for harmful elements such as creosote to build up and get trapped in the chimney. Other dangerous toxins and chemicals are also left behind, especially in cracked, damaged, and broken walls. Damaged chimneys also hinder proper ventilation, making it difficult for the smoke and soot to pass through.
Winter months make maintenance a challenge due to the cold and snow, whereas summer months bring heat and monsoon. This means toxins, debris, and dirt are left trapped and can lead to odors in the home, and the risk of water damage from rain increases without a chimney cover. However, spring weather is mild enough to make repairs and clean safely and effectively.
Homeowners can contact Creative Masonry & Chimney for their maintenance and chimney sweeping services. The company has access to high-quality professional-grade materials and tools that allow them to deliver lasting results in accordance to safety standards. 
The company's contractors examine the chimney and fireplace for damage, cleaning it down to remove creosote, soot, and remove harmful toxins that can cause respiratory diseases and health problems if left behind.
The company is insured and certified by the CSIA, guaranteeing high-quality services such as chimney maintenance and repairs. Homeowners can connect with them for chimney sweeping and cleaning services at some of the most competitive rates. 
Owner and operator Ed Sziabowsk says:
"We're proud to offer some of the most comprehensive masonry and chimney services in the greater central Connecticut area. We've worked on major commercial and residential projects across several towns, and our team is trained to deliver the best chimney repairs and cleaning services possible. Your safety is our priority."
In addition to their chimney services, they also offer masonry construction, fireplace installation, and remodeling for those who require it.
About Creative Masonry & Chimney 
Creative Masonry & Chimney is one of the leading chimney and masonry experts in the state of Connecticut. Based in Farmington, their services are available to commercial and residential clients across the region.

Insulspan Is Honored At The SIPA Annual Conference With Multiple Building Excellence Awards

BLISSFIELD, MICH. (PRWEB) MARCH 16, 2020
Michigan structural insulated panel system manufacturer, Insulspan, was honored with multiple awards during the 2020 SIPA Building Excellence Awards. The awards were presented on March 3, 2020 by the Structural Insulated Panel Association (SIPA), during the "2020 SIPA Annual Meeting", the national conference and education event focused exclusively on the structural insulated panel industry.
"Insulspan has long been known for its outstanding quality and affordability as well as its excellent sales and design support," said Insulspan General Manager, Stephen Munn. "This year's awards acknowledge Insulspan's expertise and reaffirms our philosophy that quality and a high level of service is what makes us the industry leader in SIPs."
Insulspan won top honors for excellence in the High-Performance Single-Family Homes Under 3,000 square feet category for the Legacy House built in Lewis Center, OH.
The Legacy House in Lewis Center, OH was designed by F5 Design/Architects and built by GreenTech Construction. Focusing on green building, the owners chose GreenTech to build their home with the Insulspan Ready-to-Assemble (RTA) system to speed up the construction time of the home. The Legacy House is certified by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) as a Zero Energy Ready Home. It possesses a Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index of 17 and has a low .53 air changes per hour at 50 pascals of pressure (.53 ACH50) when measured with a blower door test.
Additionally, Insulspan earned honorable mentions in the following categories: 

High-Performance Single-Family Homes Under 3,000 square feet for the Perks Residence built in Garner, NC

Single Family Homes Over 3,000 square feet for the Dexter Residence built in Dexter, MI

The Perks Residence in Garner, NC was designed by Moonlight Design Studio and built by the owner. With a focus on "aging in place", the owner used SIPs to reduce the size of the home's mechanical systems as well as lower energy costs and reduce maintenance needs. The Perks Residence used Insulspan SIPs for the walls and roof system that were installed by fellow SIPA Member, Panelwrights, and achieved a blower door test result of .83 ACH50.
The Dexter Residence in Dexter, MI was both designed and built by the owner. The owner's family has a history in timber frame construction and they often used Insulspan SIPs in the homes they built. When the owner built his home, he chose to use Insulspan SIPs to facilitate framing and insulating the home with limited help from outside labor.
For several years the Structural Insulated Panel Association's (SIPA) award program has promoted innovation and excellence in SIP built projects. Front runners in the industry are recognized for their innovative, energy efficient projects. Projects are judged by an independent panel of industry experts.

PENNINGTON, N.J. (PRWEB) MARCH 16, 2020

The pair of awards happens to coincide with Closet POSSIBLE also receiving its 50th review on the Houzz platform. The company is proud to say that they average 4.9 out of 5 stars for these reviews dating back to 2016, when the company first created a presence on Houzz. The company is growing quickly and has recently added new team members, an additional installation van, and are in the process of expanding their operation to reach more homeowners in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
"We have always understood that it is a privilege to be invited into someone's home, into some of their most private spaces, to help them reorganize and improve their lives," says Curewitz.

As schools and daycares close across the U.S., many families find themselves in the challenging position of juggling work and childcare at home

BOULDER, COLO. (PRWEB) MARCH 16, 2020
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies are sending their employees home to work, while schools and daycares are also closing nationwide. As of March 15, public schools across at least twenty-nine states have closed, with more states likely to follow. For many parents, this means working from home while their children are also present. To help working parents adjust to these new and unusual conditions, FlexJobs is highlighting eleven tips for parents working at home with children during emergencies.
"With social distancing helping to slow the spread of coronavirus, many families are suddenly finding that not only are they working from home, but their kids are at home, too," said Sara Sutton, Founder & CEO of FlexJobs. "Whether you've worked from home for years or if you're completely new to remote work, these circumstances are incredibly challenging. Of all the distractions that may affect emergency remote working, children are likely going to be the most persistent and insistent. As a working mom myself whose kids will be home for a period of time, too, I know we are all doing the best we can right now to juggle all of our important responsibilities," Sutton said.
Although nothing is going to make working from home with children easy, there are some strategies and tactics that might help manage a little better. Below are eleven suggestions on how to mitigate the challenges of working from home when children are also present. They are elaborated on here: https://www.flexjobs.com/blog/post/working-from-home-emergency-kids/
1. Communication & Expectations: 
First of all, proactively communicate with your employer that your children are at home, so, unfortunately, you cannot guarantee your work or work calls will be interruption-free.
2. Assess Your Virtual Resources for Childcare Help: 
Think of friends, aunts, uncles, grandparents, babysitters, teachers. These people are amazing resources because you can use them to arrange virtual playdates for your kids. They can talk, read, play games, sing, do dances, and much more.
3. What Activities Can You Plan Without Supervision?
Different activities will apply to different age groups, depending on your schedule and the age of your children. Below are examples. 

Babies:

- Naps, swings, bouncy chairs

- Shows or videos such as Baby Einstein or whatever you trust

- Listen to songs

Toddlers through elementary:

- Favorite shows and/or related online games – look online to see if that show has related games. PBS has many options.

- Educational games and apps

If they're older:

- Reading, writing stories

- Educational, positive, or inspirational shows or movies – Nature, America's Got Talent, Funniest Home Videos, etc.

- School platforms

- Minecraft or activities that keep them social online with their friends.

4. Prioritize Your Schedule: 
Aim to schedule your most engaging/reliable activities for the kid(s) to be on their own during the time you need to be most productive. 

If you have a partner, and if your work allows, you may consider split shift work. So one person watches the kids in the morning while the other works, and visa versa in the afternoon. This can better guarantee at least some hours where your focus is purely on work.

If you're a single parent, clearly communicate expectations to both your kid(s) and your employer. Carve out hours of the day when you're available for calls or virtual meetings, and be sure to let children know what to expect from you, as well.

5. Set Boundaries: 
Try explaining to your children that working-from-home means you really are trying to do work. While it may seem like a regular weekend or a vacation day because you are all at home, these are highly unusual circumstances.
6. Reward Good Behavior: 
Working from home with kids in an emergency means maintaining harmony however possible, and this includes setting up a reward system for them when they follow directions.
7. Take Mini Breaks: 
Consider temporarily changing your style of working. Instead of tackling a project for three hours, you will need to break up the day more to give your children the attention they need. Honor the fact that their attention spans are short, so your work will likely need to be done in chunks. Expect that you may need to continue working after they've gone to bed or wake up earlier in the morning to get more uninterrupted hours in.
8. Plan Activities: 
If you can find the time, try to create activity boxes that contain games, puzzles, etc that require minimal adult supervision. This could help keep them occupied.
9. Have a Plan B: 
Have a back-up activity jar ready to go for when the activity boxes become boring.
10. Stress Less: 
Under normal conditions, many parents may limit screen time. It is worth considering adding to their daily screen time allotment to buy you more work time. Just explain to them, though, that it is a temporary adjustment.
11. Get Creative with Office Space: 
Any place in the house with Internet access can act as an office during an emergency, especially for when you have to ensure calls are uninterrupted. If at all possible, try to find a space with a door that can be closed. Creating physical boundaries can help reinforce the message that you need to be working.
As a result of COVID-19, remote work has been advised as a workplace policy by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For workers impacted, FlexJobs also recommends the following resources during this time:

No Toilet Paper? No Problem. Hygiene brand BunGuns.com announced today the release of innovative travel-sized bidet called the "Pew Pew" BunGun.

SEATTLE (PRWEB) MARCH 17, 2020
With the toilet paper shortage wreaking havoc in bathrooms across the country, a new alternative product has surfaced, the "Pew Pew" BunGun.
The company founders have described the BunGun as a hybrid product somewhere between "half Neti Pot and..half Porta Potty"
In fact, the "Pew Pew" BunGun is an economical, ethical and hygienical solution to the toilet paper shortage, states the company website.
"While many people spend hundreds of dollars on toilet paper a year, and thousands over their lifetime, the BunGun is less than $30 and has an infinite lifespan," according to C.J. Doll, Company Co-Founder and self-proclaimed C.E.Go.
The company website states that using toilet paper to wipe urine and feces around the body only further spreads germs rather than the well-intentioned purpose of setting out to clean. The website further states that the BunGun cleans the area with sanitized water and contributes to good hygiene.
Further, the "Pew Pew" BunGun is environmentally friendly, citing toilet paper production statistics that require nearly 15 million trees be cut down every year, as well as a significant amount of energy and water usage.
One of the most impressive features of the BunGun is its portability.
Company C.E.Go. and Co-Founder C.J. Doll added a company philosophy, "We interpret the U.S. 'Constitutional' to give people the 'Right to bare buns' when 'Going #2' without the fear of their BunGuns being taken by the government.
Doll also stated the company plans to continue innovating in the Direct-To-Consumer personal hygiene sector and plans further releases of products such as the "Fanny Hose." to be delivered in a custom Fanny Pack.
According to company website literature, there exists a toilet-stationary "Bum Gun" which is the preferred delivery method of bathroom sanitation popular in India, Vietnam, Europe and Australia. The company adds that "It is long overdue that we bring this innovative hose-like technology to the West in a brand and message that will resonate with the public. The people are ready for this."
According to Doll, "By purchasing a "Pew Pew" BunGun now, you can avoid the upcoming "Bundemic," save a lot of money over a lifetime and practice better hygiene and "Wokeness."
The company advises consumer to take a "relaxative" approach and stop flushing time and money down the toilet and to visit http://www.bunguns.com for more information on the "Pew Pew" BunGun.

Self-service laundry facilities throughout the country fulfill a basic human need for clean clothes.

OAKBROOK TERRACE, ILL. (PRWEB) MARCH 17, 2020
The Coin Laundry Association (CLA), the national trade association for the laundromat industry, has been urging authorities to designate laundromats as providing "essential services" during the COVID-19 outbreak. These facilities provide a basic public health service by serving millions of families with a safe place to wash and dry their clothes each and every week.
In alignment with Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommendations, American families should continue to observe the best levels of cleanliness and hygiene possible, including regular clothes washing, during the pandemic. Access to services is particularly important for laundromat customers who are often among low-income families with few alternatives to the neighborhood laundromat for clothes washing.
CLA is sharing CDC recommendations with its members regarding enhanced cleaning of hard surfaces and other "high touch" areas within their stores. The industry is committed to providing the cleanest, safest environment possible for its customers. The commercial-grade washers found in laundromats provide rigorous mechanical action which combined with hot water and proper detergent use effectively flush contaminants from clothing. Commercial gas-fired dryers deliver proper heating to further protect garments from harm.
The 30,000 small business owners of laundromats in the United States stand ready to help families keep their clothes clean during the pandemic. CLA is ready to work with Federal, state and municipal authorities to keep laundromats running during this crucial time

With the coronavirus scare keeping people inside and a volatile stock market unraveling nest eggs, it's a smart time for retirees to consider creative income options that can help provide a measure of stability in an uncertain world. A new report from the editors at International Living lists of 50 ways savvy retirees have found to make money in retirement—many of which can be done from home.
"If the first few months of 2020 has demonstrated anything, it's that you never know where the next black swan will land," says Jeff Opdyke, editor of The Savvy Retiree and contributor to International Living. "Over the past 20 years, we've seen a black swan take out the technology sector, killing the stock market; a black swan take out the U.S. housing market, killing the stock market; and a black swan masquerading as the coronavirus, again taking out the stock market.
"The common denominator here is 'taking out the stock market.' And that means it's up to us to learn how to take back control of our own lives, of our lifestyles and our personal happiness.
"Retirement once was built on the three-legged stool of Social Security, personal savings, and company pensions. But pensions, we all know have basically vanished, and these black swans keep undermining our personal savings. Which means if we want to shore up the stability of our retirement finances, we need to bolt a new leg onto the stool. And that new leg is our ability in the technology age to exploit the gig economy to our own benefit."
A new report from Internationalliving.com lists 50 ways retirees have found to make money in retirement—many of which, from freelance proofreader to dropshipper to e-book publisher, can be done from a laptop at home.
The full report is posted here and includes suggestions like:
Teach English Online
Native English speakers may not realize it, but they already possess the number one qualification needed for a fun, portable income that can produce a steady paycheck from anywhere in the world.
English teachers are in huge demand right now with students across the globe studying from home due to Coronavirus. And that means huge opportunities for English teachers. Teaching English as a foreign language jobs are available in virtually all countries where English is not the first language. And right now, there's extraordinary demand for teachers online. With so many children home from school right now—parents are taking this opportunity to source native English speakers as teachers and tutors online. This opportunity is hot right now.
Become an In-Demand Copywriter
Anyone who's dreamed of being able to live and earn a great income from anywhere––could be a house by the sea in Latin America, an historic European city, or even a Greek island for a summer...
...then copywriting might fit the bill. It's all about persuasion. Website copy, ads, blog posts, and more—a persuasive copywriter aims to make an argument that'll have a reader taking action. This kind of writing can pay six figures. Take that kind of income to a low-cost spot on the planet where the quality of life is high and the weather is good, and it's a prescription for a comfortable retirement.
Become an Audiobook Narrator
Audiobooks are an increasingly popular form of entertainment. The convenience factor of smartphones has led to an industry boom. The Association of American Publishers reported a 38.1% increase in audiobook downloads in 2015...and that's creating a demand for freelance narrators.
Narration is a job that anyone can do, regardless of age or experience. It's flexible, portable, and, above all, fun. Plus it's easier to break into than many people imagine.

A recent Manhattan Institute report attempts to estimate the effects of charter school enrollment on student test scores in Newark, NJ – a city whose charter sector has been under intense scrutiny – and finds positive effects on English language and math test scores. The report deems these effects "large" as compared to other types of educational interventions.
Dr. Mark Weber of the New Jersey Policy Perspective and Rutgers University reviewed Charter Schools in Newark: The Effect on Student Test Scores, which uses a random component of Newark's school enrollment system to isolate the effect of charter schools on test score outcomes.
The report's method creates a natural experiment that compares outcomes between students who were offered charter seats and those who were not. This creates strong internal validity for the report's positive test score findings. However, the generalizability of the findings is undermined by the fact that students who apply to charter schools differ significantly from the greater Newark student population. Students who are offered seats in charter schools are, for example, less likely to be English language learners or have special education needs. But the report never addresses this core issue of external validity.
The report also fails to address a key issue of scalability and sustainability. Teachers in the studied charter schools are less likely to remain in their jobs more than a few years, resulting in schools employing relatively few experienced teachers. This allows the schools to have lower overall personnel costs, even as they pay their inexperienced teachers more than comparably inexperienced public district school teachers, and even as they provide longer school days.
More time in school, in all likelihood, will positively impact test scores. However, can the studied charter schools maintain this financial model as they expand and enroll a different student population? While the report confirms previous work showing a positive charter effect on test scores in Newark, it fails to address these and other critical issues that stakeholders must understand to formulate good charter school policy in New Jersey and elsewhere.
Accordingly, even for policymakers who equate test scores with overall learning, Weber concludes that while the report has credible internal validity, it has only limited policy use.

Maid Brigade, the leader in green residential house cleaning, is revolutionizing the cleaning industry with its PUREmist disinfection system. Many consumers are unaware that their homes are not being disinfected during regular cleaning due to the complexity of traditional disinfection methods that require germ-specific chemicals and lengthy soak times. Maid Brigade has introduced the PUREmist disinfection system to address this issue.
PUREmist disinfects by killing germs, bacteria and viruses using the combination of a hospital grade disinfectant applied via an electrostatic sprayer to create an electronically charged mist that wraps around surfaces and objects for 360-degree coverage. The electrostatic technology allows the disinfectant to bond to areas that are unreachable by traditional pump sprayers and eliminates the need to wipe away remaining liquid after correct dwell time has occurred. By allowing the product to dwell and then air dry, the disinfectant remains in place until the surface is touched again. PUREmist can disinfect kitchens, bathrooms and living areas with special emphasis on high touch areas such as computers, keyboards, remotes, light switches, handles, knobs and more. Unlike bleach and other disinfecting chemicals, PUREmist is safe to use in the home around children, pets and plants. PUREmist is effective at killing bloodborne pathogens, Herpes, Polio, Norovirus, MRSA and many animal pathogens. It is effective at preventing the flu and other viruses which spread easily. PUREmist is also helpful in removing odor from pets, smoke and other causes in the home.
Maid Brigade is committed to providing our customers with the safest, healthiest and most effective cleaning methods available. PUREmist achieves the goal of disinfecting without toxic chemicals and keeps customers' homes and the environment safe and healthy.
PUREmist is available exclusively from Maid Brigade and may be used during one-time, regular as well as move in cleanings. Available at participating Maid Brigade locations. Visit https://www.maidbrigade.com/puremist/ for more information.

First Time Clients Get Free Sealer Application Up to 1000 square feet.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) MARCH 17, 2020
If you live in the Los Angeles area and have been considering moving forward with a paving project such as building a paver walkway, patio, driveway, or anything in-between, you may be interested to know that renowned Los Angeles paving contractor Titan Pavers is now offering a free paving sealer application of up to 1,000 square feet to any first-time client.
One of the biggest advantages of building using concrete pavers is the fact that pavers are highly durable and designed to exhibit a long life-cycle without cracking or breaking. While pavers undeniably quite durable, though, they can be susceptible to stains, fading, mildew, and various other surface issues if left out in the elements for long enough.
With that said, one excellent way to keep your pavers looking as new and shiny as the day they were installed is to make use of paver sealing. Paver sealing entails using a high-quality liquid sealer that is applied to the surface of the pavers after they have been installed. After the sealer is allowed to soak into the joints of the pavers and dry completely, its then cleaned and polished to a shiny finish that will last for an incredibly long period of time.
The benefits of using paver sealer are multifaceted. In addition to protecting the surface of your pavers from staining, sealing your pavers can also make their colors more vibrant and glossy, making your pavers much more eye-catching and attractive. Since paver sealer is designed to block UV rays from the sun as well, sealing your pavers can also help prevent their color from fading after years of direct sunlight.
Lastly and arguably most importantly, paver sealer is able to help protect your pavers from being damaged from harsh weather such as ice, rain, or snow. If left unsealed, water from various forms of precipitation can seep down into small cracks in your pavers as well as the joints between them. As this water freezes and thaws it can damage your pavers, leading to cracks that continually grow larger over time. Thankfully, sealing your pavers forms a waterproof barrier over their surface, preventing water from ever reaching any joints or small cracks in your pavers that might be susceptible to further damage.
Thanks to all of these benefits, sealing your pavers after they have been installed is one of the best decisions you can make if you would like to keep your paver driveway or patio looking amazing for as long as possible – and first-time Titan Pavers clients now have the opportunity to seal their paver constructions using high-quality liquid sealer completely free of charge. This promotion is part of Titan Pavers' commitment to industry-leading customer satisfaction as well as an opportunity for Titan Pavers to reach out to new clients in the Los Angeles area.

Growga, a kids yoga and mindfulness startup, has pivoted its expansive and growing in person classes to focusing completely on delivering online content designed for parents and caregivers struggling to find activities for their children and introduce calm to the unprecedented stress associated with the Coronavirus pandemic.
Starting Monday, parents and caregivers are invited to participate in Growga in the following ways: 

Free online streaming classes Wednesdays at 6:00pm and Saturdays at 10:00am

A daily pre-recorded Growga class(video content will be available for free, rent, purchase, or subscription)

Free Audio relaxation and meditation exercises

Free activities for families to do together during this extended time at home

Free blog content from our teachers and community

A place to virtually connect with peers to share stories, support, and resources during this time.

"We want to be a resource for not only the communities in which we currently serve, but for parents and children across the US and around the globe who need engaging, meaningful content for kids and families to do together at home. Our curriculum introduces tools to help everyone cope with anxiety, which is needed now more than ever," says Emily Behr, founder and CEO, Growga. "A Growga class is meant as an integrative method to support the whole child. Not only are we giving them ways to cope with stress but we're also helping them get their sillies out and be creative."
Once the pandemic subsides, Growga plans to incorporate virtual content into its robust live, in-person schedule that includes more than 50 partners and 150 classes per month across North Carolina and South Carolina taught by more than 70 teachers.
Since its founding, Growga has looked to upend the traditional yoga model. Growga's un-studio approach to delivering yoga directly to consumers via institutional, cross-vertical partners has resonated strongly and propelled Growga from an idea to a fast-growing startup.
Rather than invite customers to a pristine space in an expensive mixed-use development and charge a high admission fee to offset those costs, Growga has intentionally broken down those walls in order to ensure all who seek its curriculum have access.
In practice, this means partnerships with fitness chains, schools, churches, camps, real estate groups, large scale events and many others who want the benefit of these services without their own overhead of recruiting and retaining instructors.
The pivot to online classes is a continuation of their disruptive model.

Global mattress and bedroom company, Puffy, launches in Canada with 'Made in Canada' manufacturing, as part of a global expansion strategy to help more people achieve optimal sleep and feel irresistible Cloud Comfort.

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 17, 2020
Puffy, makers of the Most Comfortable Mattress, has officially launched in Canada, the latest move in the company's 2020 expansion strategy.
Puffy is a mattress company known for Cloud Comfort and the dreamy feeling of Sleeping On A Cloud.
Since launching in the US, the online mattress retailer has built a loyal customer base of comfort-loving fans who are achieving a level of sleep they never thought possible.
Determined to meet the growing demand for the premium comfort of luxurious memory foam mattresses and accessories, Puffy's launch in Canada is the start of a broader expansion strategy to help more people achieve optimal sleep.
"Expanding our reach to Canada is a direct result of growing demand from the region. We had many customers anticipating the launch of puffy.ca, and we are already excited about the results. Our launch in Canada enables us to bring better sleep and an easy buying experience to even more people."
"We are looking forward to continuing this growth in new regions in 2020 and beyond," said Arthur Andreasyan, CEO at Puffy.
Canada Made Manufacturing 
Puffy's launch in Canada extends further than the brand's e-commerce activation. Puffy went live in Canada, complete with 'Made in Canada' mattress manufacturing.
This commitment to utilizing resources from the region is an essential aspect of Puffy's promise to customers.
One hundred percent of Puffy Mattresses are made in Canada. This includes the Cloud Cover, the Cloud Foam, assembly, and finishing.
It's all Canadian made with Puffy's signature Cloud Comfort, a feeling that thousands of American sleepers have fallen in love with.
Much of Puffy's success to date in the United States stems from the company's commitment to luxurious comfort, at an accessible price point, that does not compromise on quality.
It was only natural for the Puffy team to bring that same guarantee of comfort and quality to Canadians.
"Our launch in Canada with a Made in Canada label was a non-negotiable. It's our goal to redefine the rules of comfort and quality sleep, and to do this using resources in the region itself is exactly how we like to operate."
"Manufacturing in Canada and creating local teams helps us do more for the economy and connect with customers on a deeper level. We wanted to extend the exact level of detail we provide in the United States to the Canada region. We believe customers prefer to buy products made at home," said Arthur Andreasyan, CEO at Puffy.
Canada's Best Rated Mattress 
Puffy's memory foam cooling mattress range has won numerous best mattress awards for irresistible cloud comfort, enhanced support, and it's cooling properties which help people regulate temperature for the best sleep in every season.
Puffy has accumulated a large trophy cabinet of accolades, including Best Mattress 2020, Best Memory Foam Mattress 2020, and Best Cloud-Like Feel Mattress, among many others.
While the mattress industry boasts many 'better sleep' experiences, Puffy's positioning is consistent and concentrated on what the brand considers the essential elements of good sleep.
Not confusing science or technology, but rather, contouring comfort, targeted support, and modern aesthetics so consumers can create a bedroom they love spending time in.
More Than Mattresses 
Puffy's growth from mattress company to bedroom company is noticeable with an increasing range of bedding, accessories, and bedroom furniture designed to fulfill the same desires for luxurious, comfortable, and supportive sleep.
Other trending products in the Puffy range include the Adjustable Bed Frame, the ultra-soft Puffy Comforter, and new-release silky 100% Bamboo Bed Sheets.
To find out more about Puffy Canada, visit https://puffy.ca.
About Puffy 
Puffy is a global mattress company currently operating in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The Puffy team is 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.

Acrylic University launches free training to public; artist's story proves the health benefits of creativity.

SEATTLE (PRWEB) MARCH 17, 2020
While schools nationwide are closing, Acrylic University is doing the opposite. The school is opening its doors to everyone. For free.
(Click Here To Learn More.)
An online art school with students from all around the world, Acrylic University has found itself in a unique situation. While millions of people search for risk-free, healthy activities, this school knows how much art can help.
"Right now, people are stuck at home, bored and afraid," says Jed Dorsey, founder of Acrylic University. "And we can help because art is actually really good for your health and you can do it from the safety of your home."
For Dorsey, the health benefits of art are personal. He points to a painting on the wall. "If you knew my story, you'd know this painting represents my journey out of addiction, depression and fear into freedom. Art changed my life, and we started Acrylic University to help others enjoy life and make that same journey."
The health benefits of creativity aren't only for people who consider themselves artists. Doug Greenman, a member of Acrylic University, says, "Not only has it been fun, it's also been a big part of improving my mental health."
Research shows that Greenman's experience is not unusual.
In her article "A Creative Life Is A Healthy Life", Amanda Enayati says, "The link between creativity and better mental and physical health is well established by research. Creating helps make people happier, less anxious, more resilient and better equipped to problem-solve in the face of hardship."
These benefits of art motivate Dorsey to share what he has. A fourth generation artist, he's known for his exceptional teaching abilities. Students have flocked to his local studio for years, and now they are thriving through this online format.
One big factor in their success is the sense of friendship that's been built. Cathy Pipes, another Acrylic University student, says the encouraging environment "fosters a really great community. People are very positive and support one another in this journey that we're all on together."
Dorsey believes what he and his team are doing at Acrylic University will be vital to many in this time of uncertainty.
"People who paint are happier, and happy people live longer. Art won't get rid of your problems, but it will help you get through this trying time with more peace of mind."

The MatchingFund.org, a 501c3 has contracted with Donate2it for fundraising. Donate2it is a crowdrise platform that has had great success and is lowering fees to help people affected by the impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic

CHARLESTON, S.C. (PRWEB) MARCH 17, 2020
Crowd rising platforms have been able to help many people with financial donations from others who donate various amounts. The total donations can add up to a substantial amount that can make a difference in the lives of those that need it most.
In this time of need, many fundraising platforms are available. Some describe themselves as free. However, when a person clicks to donate, the contribution automatically adds a "15% tip" unless a donor catches it and changes it. A 2.5% credit card processing fee is also added meaning only 82.5% goes to what people are donating too. Typically, with a 45 to 75 day distribution time before a check is sent.
One particular platform, Donate2it, normally has a flat fee of 5% which is used to pay web services, insurance, licensing. Donate2it pays no dividends nor salaries. Stripe charges 2.2% for processing online transactions. There are no fees for a check contribution.
During this time, for the next few months, or as long as needed, Donate2it is dropping fees from 5% to 2.5%. With the 2.2% Stripe fee, that means that 95.3% of the money contributed will go to the cause or need.
Donate2it normally turns around the disbursement once the contribution has cleared. Usually in about 3 days.
Anyone can sign up for any type of fundraiser – private or nonprofit. Current fundraisers are all for nonprofits with a match provided from the MatchingFund.org. A nonprofit can apply to receive a matching grant by signing into Donate2it and requesting a match. There is a list of very successful campaigns. Overall, since inception Donate2it with the MatchingFund has raised about $475,000. Many campaigns had a provided match. Up to $130,000 in total match has been provided so far.
The MatchingFund.org is a 501(c)(3) Charitable organization. Tax deductible donations can be made directly too TheMatchingFund.org. These donations give the board of directors the flexibility to provide Matching Funds to worthy charities and causes that might not otherwise have funds for matching donations. Donations made to individuals and other certain causes may not be tax deductible as defined by the IRS.

Pool, tennis court and a private boardwalk to the Atlantic Ocean white sand beachfront are just a few of the amenities that make this a superb buying opportunity for the discriminating buyer waiting in the wings for this special offering.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
"WATERVIEW": the name of the home itself says it all. Located along the exclusive Meadow Lane in one of the most sought after areas in famed Southampton, this classic sunfilled oceanfront home's expansive living areas and enviable views make it the perfect family sanctuary. Initially designed by Hamptons based architectural firm Suter & Suter for a prominent family, this sprawling estate on 4.25 acres awaits new owners to enjoy the best of Hamptons living.
A private gated driveway meandering past lush grounds leads to a commanding beach retreat with the space and list of amenities to please the most discerning families. The sprawling 6,000 square foot estate with an additional 3,000 square feet of outdoor living space, tennis court, swimming pool, and more make imagine leaving hard to do. Inside, the impeccably appointed, sophisticated yet functional design throughout the five-bedroom, five and a half bath home is perfectly complemented by the unrivaled views. "One of the truly amazing features of the home is the unique architecture with two octagonal living spaces facing each other. This allows one to view the gentle, low rolling sand dunes that open up to wide- open views of the ocean from any angle," explained Tim Davis, Licensed real estate Broker for Corcoran Group Real Estate.
On the second level, the heart of the residence is the spacious octagon-shaped great room with a dome skylight ceiling which perfectly floods the room with light during the day and captures the twinkling stars at night. "There is distinct 'gleam and shine' to this level – as if the water is reflected off the sand and permeates the interior entirely with natural light," comments Mr. Davis. True indeed, as on this level, the equally large dining room, office with fireplace, and east wing master retreat share similar architectural details. The discreetly appointed chef's kitchen, off of the dining room, outfitted with state-of-the-art features, is a chef's delight. Enjoy the fantastic views from inside or out on one of three decks (one covered for those occasional rainy days) that complete this level.
A gracious stairway and elegant hallways lead to the first floor, where an additional four bedrooms and four baths with views of covered decks and porches that are accessible to outdoor recreational spaces. Another flight down, you'll find a generous two-car garage, mudroom, wine room, and storage space. And in the event you are seeking more space, the property has been recently approved for additional usable living spaces.
Quiet contemplation, as well as activities such as water sports, are mere steps away. Should you want to venture out for a Sunday drive, the surrounding area of Southampton village offers many museums and historic venues, day trips to vineyards, cultural activities, fine dining, and nightlife. When you live in a superb abode like this, the choices are endless; relish the idea of doing loads of entertaining, relaxing, and dreaming by the fireplaces, or drifting off into a superb summer nap under the stars.
Inhale the virtual salt air, and imagine the bright blue skies and water surrounding this place. This home is for the extraordinary individual, whose discriminating tastes lean toward perfection – such as reflected in this unmatched quality Meadow Lane estate that some have called a melding of Hollywood glamour with Hampton's elegance.

Handmade soap start-up Soaprise! (http://www.soaprise.com) announced it is giving away free bars of hidden toy prize soap to encourage kids to wash their hands in efforts to protect parents, grandparents, children and others at risk. The company is promoting a viral awareness campaign through its hashtag #KidsCanBeCarriers. Reminding that kids can be carriers without presenting symptoms.

HOUSTON (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
Handmade soap company Soaprise! is hoping that its offer of a free bar of soap containing a hidden children's toy will inspire parents everywhere to make sure that their kids consistently wash their hands.    
Company co-founder, CJ Doll noted that, "While many kids are not currently presenting symptoms from the Coronavirus, kids can still be carriers and pass it on to their parents, grandparents and other elderly individuals around them, which can be life-threatening in some instances."
CJ also noted that a study from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine found that kids were four times more likely to wash their hands when they had the option of using a variation "surprise soap", rather than when they had regular soap.
Additionally, research cited on the http://www.Soaprise.com website states that the World Health Organization has listed, "Wash Hands Often" as its number one prevention measure against the Coronavirus, and Dr. Oz stated on Fox and Friends that "washing your hands alone is probably a 50% reduction in virus transmission".
The company hypothesizes that having a surprise in the soap could be an innovative way to have a measurable impact on the growing COVID-19 pandemic and galvanize children everywhere to practice better safety and sanitization methods.
"By encouraging children to wash their hands, parents and their kids can save the lives of people they've never even met by decreasing the likelihood of passing on the virus," adds Stacey Doll, mother of 5 and company Co-Founder.
As a young company, Soaprise! is just asking for those receiving the soap to contribute only a small shipping and handling charge and also encourages parents to support the business by ordering a second bar of soap or more, since they will not be making a profit on the free bars.
Marketing Director and company CIO - Chief "Infoamation" Officer Trent Silver stated:
"We were partially inspired by the hidden toys in Cracker Jacks and the "Golden Ticket" from Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. And we saw an opportunity to bring those same emotions of joy and anticipation to a simple soap business in Soaprise! to see how we might be able to have even the slightest impact and potentially save even one life."
"We plan to 'Play it Forward' by leveraging this launch and the public's support to further innovate with more unique 'buried treasure prizes' that will excite and inspire the older kids, teens, and perhaps even monetary prizes for adults down the road to continue with safety sanitization practices," said Silver.
"We also wanted to create a viral campaign that would not only resonate with parents and children, but also young people who's brains are not fully-developed yet and thus feel 'invincible" and have not taken to the prescription of Social Isolation and who continue on in large public groups. Which is why I proposed an awareness raising hashtivism campaign called #SoapriseNotSocialize which you will see us develop over the coming weeks," added Silver.
Silver adds, "Studies have been done for many different social issues relating to health and hygiene and have found that incentives work successfully throughout history for hard to solve challenges."
Silver further noted, "We didn't invent the idea, we just realized we could repurpose an existing reward-based concept, time-tested by human nature. We thought what the world needed was the right message, at the right time, with the right product, in a delivery method that would resonate and be understood by all age groups, not just kids."
"Down the line, we plan to experiment with adding monetary incentives to promote hand-washing among adults. Some innovative products in our pipeline include bars of soap containing real pearls, high-value jewelry, Cryptocurrency tokens with a code and even actual cash prizes," said Silver.
"We also have a number of hashtivism campaigns lined up to spread the message, including a #JailBarsOfSoap donation campaign to send bars of soap to overpopulated, and undersupplied prisons and jails where sanitization and close proximity among inmates poses an extra risk to human life. As well as a #SudsForShelters campaign for the homeless who are at significant risk due to lack of proper sanitization, supplies, mental and physical illnesses and extremely close proximity to one another," added Silver.
"The framework...rather the 'Foamwork,' of our company is built around social responsibility and leveraging speed to market innovation and real-time marketing methods such as 'newsjacking' to create maximum social impact...
Which is why we plan to deliver as much free soap as we can keep up with and make to children's hospitals, as well as a plan to educate and inspire soap-making in hygienically-poor regions around the world. We'll be educating on personal hygiene and aiding in the creation of 'microenterprises' for economic empowerment. We want to inspire rural communities to further self-sufficiency, sanitization and to create 'Fortunes through the Foam,'" says Silver.
Company CIO Trent Silver further stated:
"Everyone could get better at this and if there's one silver-lining at all to take away from this, it is that we are all more aware of how important it is to maintain proper hygiene and hand washing, and that we are stronger working together, hand-in-hand, in this great Human Race."
"I hope through my work with this company during a time of crisis, and through all of our future work addressing the seemingly most impossible challenges known to man, to make even the smallest indent in the pages of history, and to leave an immortal handprint in the Sands of Time," concludes Silver.
For more information visit http://www.soaprise.com. To schedule an interview please contact Press@Soaprise.com.

MaidPro, a house cleaning business, has released a Daily Disinfecting Defense program for office and commercial spaces in response to the rising spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

BOSTON (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
MaidPro, a house cleaning business, has released a Daily Disinfecting Defense program for office and commercial spaces in response to the rising spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
The program focuses on disinfecting the common areas and other high touch zones of an office or commercial building that are most likely to transmit germs. The service includes cleaning and disinfecting the following surfaces: kitchen and dining areas, conference rooms and corresponding technology (phones, keyboards, touch screens), and other common spaces (main door knobs, light switches, tabletops and chair arms of shared rooms). The service can also be tailored to fit your specific needs or area.
"We are in a unique position to help battle the Coronavirus. We want to be completely transparent in how we are handling this situation," says MaidPro's Chief Cleaning Officer, Melissa Homer. "Our locations are locally owned and operated, which means we are staying up-to-date on the area's latest legal requirements and safety recommendations. The health and safety of our PROs and your family are of the utmost importance to us. All of our staff have taken a Coronavirus Cleaning Course which details, down to the science, how to best protect and disinfect themselves and your homes from the virus."
While many businesses, schools, and elderly homes have janitorial services, MaidPro is focusing on the deep, disinfecting cleans. Many routine janitorial services include light cleaning and tidying up. There is a vast difference between "sanitizing' and "disinfecting"; disinfection being the only procedure to kill the COVID-19 virus. MaidPro uses hospital-grade disinfectants to ensure your home is safe.
MaidPro has detailed how they are keeping their PROs and clients safe: 
All of our PROs are trained in Coronavirus cleaning. They have completed a 45-minute course that details, down to the exact chemistry, the proper procedure for cleaning and eliminating COVID-19. 
All of our PROs wear gloves at all times. The gloves are changed throughout the cleaning processes and sealed into bags when they are finished. Special techniques are used to put on and remove the gloves. 

Although the CDC does not recommend the use of masks, many offices have them available at the request of the PRO or client.

MaidPro uses hospital-grade disinfectants and color-coded towels to ensure there is no cross-contamination in the home and all viruses are killed.

The hospital-grade disinfectants are sprayed onto the surface and let sit for 10 minutes before being cleaned off. This ensures the disinfection can be fully effective.

Each PRO has a daily check-in with their manager. They are to stay home if they are sick, may have been exposed to the virus, or are living with someone that is sick or may be exposed.

Each client is emailed and called before their clean to confirm if they are self-quarantining or if they are sick or may have been exposed to the virus.

For more information please contact your local MaidPro office.
As the spread of COVID-19 continues, MaidPro is urging people to take the disinfection of their environments seriously. Many professional cleaning companies are being deemed "essential businesses" during this time and remain open for business.

MaidPro is a Boston-based franchisor of house cleaning services with over 285 locations in 38 states, the District of Columbia, and Canada.

Building 5 is now open for sales at the reinvigorated condo community in Monmouth County.

OCEAN TOWNSHIP, N.J. (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
Nobility Crest, a 55+ luxury condominium community in Ocean Township, has announced that Building 5 is now open and offers new floorplans featuring one- and two-bedroom condos priced from the low $300s! Six new homes are also available for quick move-in this summer. To learn more, visit http://www.nobilitycrest55.com.
"Now is the perfect time to come home to Nobility Crest, just minutes from the beautiful beaches of the Jersey Shore," said Robert Adinolfi, Chief Operating Officer at Renaissance Properties. "As the weather warms up, you will be able to enjoy our newly renovated $1M pool and amenity area. Stop by our sales office today to learn how to become a part of one of the most sought-after 55+ communities in Monmouth County."
Nobility Crest, from Renaissance Properties and Blue Star Group, has just a handful of homes left available in its first building. These homes, which should be ready for move-in in time to enjoy summer at the Jersey Shore, each feature two bedrooms, two bathrooms, open living spaces and spacious master suites. Designer-selected finishes ensure a tasteful, modern look without the stress and expense of having to select optional finishes and colors. All condos have an assigned indoor parking and personal storage area in a secure, well-lit garage with elevator access to all floors. The new building includes a limited number of one-bedroom condos.
"Unlike most active adult communities filled with the same traditional product, we worked very closely with our architect and designers to create practical, open living spaces that are efficient yet accommodating to both residents and their guests," said Adinolfi.
The community showcases a low-maintenance lifestyle with access to a 4,300 sq. ft. Lifestyle Center with a fitness center, business center, lounge, library, large multi-purpose room, media room, billiard and card rooms. Each building in this new phase will also add either a club room with billiards, a fitness room or an all-purpose room. For those with furry friends, a new dog park will also be constructed onsite. "The pool and outdoor amenity area have recently seen a nearly $1M, ground-up redesign and renovation, which includes a beach-entry pool, natural gas firepit, bocce court, barbeque area and more – all of which are available to new homebuyers as soon as they move in," said Adinolfi. "The best part is that each condo is just a short stroll away from all of these exciting amenities."
The community offers easy access to the Garden State Parkway (approximately 1.5 miles to the west of Nobility Crest), the Asbury Park Beach and Boardwalk (3.7 miles away) and various shopping venues (Shoprite, Marshalls and Home Goods in Neptune are approximately 1.3 miles away and Jersey Shore Premium Outlets 2.8 miles away).
Nobility Crest at Ocean Township is located at 7 Centre Street in Ocean Township. Take Route 66 to Cedar Village Boulevard and make a left on Centre Street. To learn more, visit NobilityCrest55.com or email nobilitycrestinfo@renaprop.com. The Sales Center is now open daily, Monday through Sunday, from 10am to 5pm. To learn more, please call 732-361-4982.

The new Pet Butler franchise owner now services Tallahassee, Florida and the surrounding area.

PLAINFIELD, ILL. (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
Pet Butler is proud to announce its newest franchise owner, Mary Lester of Tallahassee, FL.
Lester was employed with the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity and has over 15 years of experience within state government. She's also a retired first sergeant, having spent 32 years in the Army National Guard and serving a combat tour in Afghanistan. She's retired from the federal government as a Public Affairs Specialist, where she was the Social Media Manager and Editor for the Missouri National Guard. Although Lester has lived and worked all over the world, she has resided in her hometown of Tallahassee, Florida since 2017.
Serving in the military made it tough to ever own a pet, but 10 years ago she was finally able to change that when she got her dog, Roxy. Lester's idea to join Pet Butler wasn't just rooted in her love for animals – but from her niece who was a new customer of a pet waste removal business.
"I did my research and I reached out to numerous pet waste removal franchises. From there, I talked to and met with each franchise. After talking with all the different franchises, the open communication with Pet Butler was by far the best experience I had. They made it so easy for me to ask questions and to get answers," explained Lester.
Lester was impressed by the open communication with the Pet Butler Support Center when she joined the franchise. She's most excited to bring pet waste removal services to her community and getting a quality work/life balance by working in the pet industry and doing something she loves.
"We are excited to have Mary expand into the Tallahassee market and we look forward to helping them achieve their goals and dreams," said James Young, president of Pet Butler.

PITTSBURGH (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020

As Pennsylvania Governor Wolf has announced the COVID-19 shutdown of non-essential operations across all of Pennsylvania, big box and hardware stores, which includes Busy Beaver stores, have been classified as essential.
While working hard to keep stores stocked with current high-demand items such as disinfectants and paper goods, Busy Beaver also provides items that are critical for day-to-day, safe, secure living and working. These include automotive, building and home repair parts and materials, fire safety and home security products, plumbing and electrical parts and supplies, along with chemicals and cleaning equipment and supplies, to name a few.
"We care deeply about the well-being of our customers and associates, and we are taking every precaution necessary to ensure a clean, safe environment in every one of our stores, as we provide vital items for home and work safety and security. To the extent possible, we have expanded the stock levels of items such as cleaners, that are deemed to be essential during these times," said Joe Kallen, chief executive officer, Busy Beaver. "With additional shopping options like telephone ordering and curbside pickup, we're committed to serving customers, protecting our associates, and working together to defeat this virus."
All stores are taking extensive precautionary measures beyond recommended protocols to ensure the health and safety of all Busy Beaver associates and customers. These include vigilance in sanitizing all surfaces after each use and adhering to all CDC and OSHA guidelines for operations.
Kallen notes that all customers can take advantage of curbside pick-up if, for any reason, they prefer not to shop in stores. Team members will gladly accept orders over the phone, and customers need only to enter the store briefly to make payment.

Affordable system for builders and specifiers features high-quality design engineered for easy installation

MENLO PARK, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
KOVA, the official building products brand of Katerra, debuts a re-engineered pocket door hardware option that easily retrofits on a traditional pocket door handle cutout. Available as part of the KOVA SELECT line, the lock is one element of a completely optimized pocket door hardware assembly system that includes a more robust frame kit and a high-quality soft close track. With the KOVA SELECT Pocket Door Hardware, builders and specifiers have an elegant and versatile hardware solution engineered for the broadest range of implementations on the market.
"We found that most pocket doors and the available hardware were either very expensive and custom-built or haven't been redesigned in decades and are low-quality, so architects are specifying them less and less often," said Trevor Schick, head of the KOVA materials business. "Pocket doors have so many benefits beyond offering space-saving solutions, so we created a solution that provides an affordable option in the middle – a product that is elegantly designed, built to last and easy to install."

The KOVA SELECT Pocket Door Hardware is available as a non-locking passage handle or as a privacy handle for integration into spaces requiring a locking option. A key feature of the hardware is its patent-pending linear-actuated latch which slides vertically so locking the system requires no tight grasping, pinching or twisting of the wrist. The latch is also ADA compliant.
The hardware's large edge pull is easy to access and grip for pulling the door out of the pocket to slide open or closed. Its clean, modern design incorporates concealed screws inside and behind the exterior handle for a fastener-free appearance. The exterior side of the handle features an emergency release.
KOVA's Pocket Door Hardware is manufactured from 304 stainless steel with a reversible design for left or right-handed installations. In addition to the exclusive KOVA SELECT Matte Black finish, the lock is also available in Brushed Nickel and Polished Chrome finishes.

A Safe Haven Foundation announced today the closing on US Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and US Veterans Administration (VA) 75 Unit Apartment Project called The Rauner Family Veteran Apartments by A Safe Haven Foundation. It is a 75-unit Supportive Housing development in Hobart, Indiana.

HOBART, IND. (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
A Safe Haven Foundation announced today the closing on US Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and US Veterans Administration (VA) 75 Unit Apartment Project called The Rauner Family Veteran Apartments by A Safe Haven Foundation. It is a 75-unit Supportive Housing development in Hobart, Indiana. The apartments will be made available to low income, senior and disabled military veterans who are referred to A Safe Haven by the local Veterans Clinic and Jesse Brown VA. Onsite services will include supportive housing, individualized case management and peer support services. A groundbreaking ceremony is planned for next month.
In addition to over $20 million in Federal HUD/VA rental housing tax credits, bond volume and other financing secured from the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA), former Governor of Illinois and Venture Capitalist, Bruce Rauner and his wife, Diana Rauner, have generously gifted $1,000,000 to A Safe Haven Foundation to support financing and long-term ongoing support.
To make this development a reality the leadership team at A Safe Haven Foundation has worked with KMA Companies as the development partner and the City of Hobart on this project for almost three years.
The Rauner Family Veteran Apartments by A Safe Haven Foundation is scheduled to open in spring of 2021. The 75 apartments will showcase fully furnished apartments, a flexible meeting space/community room, exercise room, laundry room, bike storage and a beautifully, professionally landscaped outdoor patio courtyard, the US Flag and a Flag from every branch of the military. The walkway to the main entrance will feature a Bronze Star monument to Michael J. Rowland, a decorated Korean War Veteran and father of A Safe Haven Co-Founder and US Army Veteran Brian M. Rowland.
"Twenty-five years ago A Safe Haven Foundation set a new paradigm and standard of care for helping to address the root causes of poverty and homelessness. A Safe Haven is raising the bar again by expanding our portfolio of providing transitional, supportive, affordable, senior and military veteran housing in safe, beautiful and healthy settings," said Neli Vazquez Rowland, President of A Safe Haven Foundation. "We are so proud to have the opportunity to help build beautiful award-winning homes for our nation's heroes and to make our vision of a new affordable veteran housing project in the State of Indiana a reality."
Vazquez Rowland added: "We would like to give a special thanks to A Safe Haven Foundation's Indiana Veterans Advisory Board lead by Pat O'Donnell, Veterans Radio, Dan Mills of the American Legion, Bob Carnegie of DAV, Bill Emerson, Jim Chancellor and Victor Baker. We are grateful to have had the support of Governor Eric Holcomb, Mayor Eric Snedecor, and to have partnered with the US Veterans Administration, US Housing and Urban Development, Indiana Housing Community Development Authority, City of Hobart, Lake County Community Economic Development Department, Cinnaire Investment Corporation, Multifamily Coalition for Affordable Housing, The National Bank of Indianapolis and the Rauner Family. Bruce and Diana Rauner were one of our original and ongoing supporters who took the leap of faith in helping to back our cause over 20 years ago. With their assistance we have helped over 20,000 military veterans in crisis and their families get their lives back on track throughout the years. We are grateful to have had the privilege of working with so many committed and caring national, and local leader and veteran advocates. We could not have done this without all of their spirit de corps commitment and support."

Pride Houston opens talent auditions for the world's leading Pride talent show, Pride Stars, held this summer during the festival. Local and visiting talent are encouraged to upload an audition tape by April 30 before midnight for a chance to perform internationally.

HOUSTON (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
High kicks, jazz hands and high notes; bright lights and free-flowing feathers – this is how "those in the know" describe the world's leading Pride Talent Show, PRIDE STARS. Originating in Amsterdam and across Europe, the Pride Stars franchise will debut in North America in 2020 during Pride Festivals.
The first U.S. city to join the Pride Stars global network is Pride Houston, Inc., which attracts nearly a million attendees annually. By partnering with Pride Stars North America, the festival will have international exposure and a chance to perform at Winter Pride in Maspalomas. Pride Stars in Houston will debut on June 18.
"Pride Stars connects people from around the world, spotlighting great talent with an inclusive spirit," said Heather J. Taylor, Managing Partner of Pride Stars North America. "When a city joins the Pride Stars global network, they become part of a diverse family, supported by promoters, producers and program consultants dedicated to helping each city and contestant succeed."
Singers, dancers, magicians, comedians, acrobats and other unique talents will compete for a chance to represent their host city at the Grand Finale at Winter Pride. Performers are encouraged to upload an audition tape by the deadline of April 30th before midnight. Audition tapes are reviewed by Pride Houston with the international Pride Stars consultants and the top talent are selected for the live show held at Culture HTX on June 18.
The winners from each city around the world will compete on November 9-15 at the international Pride Stars Grand Finale in Maspalomas, Gran Canaria during Winter Pride. Each finalist act will perform in front of thousands of people for a chance to win money and prizes from sponsors.
Who can audition? Anyone 18 and over. Pride Stars encourages individuals and group acts to let their talent shine. The contest is an all-inclusive talent show that celebrates the world's diversity, showcasing amazing performances from around the world during Pride Festivals.
For Lo Moton Roberts, President of Pride Houston, the Pride Stars contest is a perfect fit for the nation's most diverse city. "This year's theme is Pride Houston 'DiverCity,' which sums up what we're all about – celebrating inclusivity for all people in the beautiful queer community," said Roberts. "We can't wait to share our diverse talent with the world and look forward to sending our winning act from Houston to the Grand Finale in Gran Canaria."
For many contestants, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to compete before an international audience. Last year's Pride Stars Grand Finale winner was Jenny Ball from the UK who had competed against twelve other countries including Italy, Denmark and Spain. Ball's win offered a career boost with a rush of incoming calls, bookings and invites for other performances. For 2020 the Pride host cities expand across several continents, including Canada, UK, U.S.A. and Europe.
