SoCal VA Homes Hires Four Veterans to Expand Exclusive Real Estate and Lending Services for Veterans and Active Service Members.

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CALIF. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 14, 2019
SoCal VA Homes – a real estate and lending company that offers services exclusively to Veterans and active service members – has furthered their manifesto of "Veterans Helping Veterans" with the recent hire of four new Veterans to their team. These new employees understand the unique challenges Veterans face when purchasing homes – particularly in competitive markets – and are professionally licensed through the California Bureau of Real Estate (BRE). All four are already hard at work promoting the company's unique and powerful programs that enable Veterans to become homeowners.
SoCal VA Homes' four recent hires are: 

Mike Bullock – Sr. Property Specialist at SoCal VA Homes, U.S. Navy Veteran ('67-'71), Petty Officer Second Class of USS Niagara Falls, USS Guadalupe, and USS Enhance, BRE licensed in 2000

Dave Velazquez – Sr. VA Loan Technician at SoCal VA Homes, U.S. Navy Veteran ('69-'71), Seaman USS Hoel DDG 13 Guided Missile Destroyer, BRE licensed in 1976

Robert Dickie – Director Construction at SoCal VA Homes, U.S.A.F. Ret. Veteran ('67 - '98), promoted to Colonel in '90, real estate investor since '72, BRE licensed in 2017

Felix Figueroa – Sr. Property Specialist at SoCal VA Homes, Sgt. U.S.M.C. Veteran ('04-'10), BA Business Administration of Phoenix, BRE licensed in 2013

"I just love working here," says one of the new employees, Mike Bullock, Sr. Property Specialist. "I couldn't be more proud of the work that we do for our Veteran clients and the one-of-a-kind programs offered here." SoCal VA Homes offers three main programs to provide easier, better ways for Veterans and active service members to buy homes: the Veteran's Angel Program, the VA Construction Financing Program, and the Dreamweaver Home Purchase Program.
Often, Veterans are at a disadvantage when it comes to purchasing a home in a competitive market. Veterans using SoCal VA Homes' services will quickly benefit from the knowledge and expertise of other Veterans since they already possess an in-depth understanding of the many misconceptions and unfair treatment Veteran home buyers commonly encounter. Having this insight, along with a range of innovative VA programs available to this team of real estate experts, allows these Veterans to give other Veterans the upper hand in real estate transactions. Army Veteran Sgt. Roldan Ranan shares, "I just closed on a condo, and I was represented by SoCal VA Homes. They funded my VA loan, too. I really admire their innovations and tactics used to support Veterans in property negotiations."
"I'm so excited to welcome our four new Veterans to SoCal VA Homes' real estate and lending team," says Peter Van Brady, Owner of SoCal VA Homes. "Each of them takes such pride in serving fellow Veterans as they discover the joys of homeownership."
Veterans interested in purchasing a Southern California home with the services of SoCal VA Homes can contact (949) 268-7742 or visit https://www.socalvahomes.org/.
About SoCal VA Homes:

Staffed by "Veterans helping Veterans."

WESTBURY, ENGLAND (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 14, 2019

Using liquids of up to 300 centipoise in viscosity, EXAIR's new large 1/2 NPT No Drip Internal Mix Atomizing Spray Nozzle can deliver a fine, atomized liquid mist at up to 303 Gph. The No Drip feature instantly shuts off liquid flow when the compressed air supply is shut off. Available in 4 spray patterns.

CINCINNATI (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 14, 2019
EXAIR's new 1/2 NPT No Drip Internal Mix Atomizing Spray Nozzles work in the same way our standard atomizing nozzles do, but have the added benefit of positively stopping liquid flow when compressed air is shut off. Internal Mix Atomizing Spray Nozzles mix liquid and air inside the nozzle and produce the finest atomization of liquids up to 300 centipoise. The patented No Drip design requires no additional air line to control the No Drip feature.
When spraying any type of liquid, post-spray liquid flow can cause big problems. Unwanted drips can ruin product function on sealing or mating surfaces and ruin the appearance of painted or coated finishes. In addition, excess liquid flow wastes precious resources such as expensive coatings, chemicals or water. No Drip Atomizing Nozzles are ideal where no post-spray drip is permissible. When the compressed air supply is shut off, the no drip nozzle positively seals off the flow of liquid eliminating the possibility of drips.
EXAIR's 1/2 NPT No Drip Internal Mix Atomizing Nozzles are available in four patterns: narrow angle round, wide angle round, flat fan and 360° hollow circular pattern. They are for pressure fed applications that don't require independent air and liquid control.
The No Drip Atomizing Nozzles are fully adjustable to minimize air and liquid consumption and have interchangeable liquid and air caps. Flow ranges from 0.14 Gph to 303 Gph (0.5 Lph to 1147 Lph). They are also available in 1/8 NPT and 1/4 NPT, and are CE compliant and conflict mineral free. Prices start at $295.

More than 31% of Americans have fallen victim to the selfish crime of package theft. Police make arrests in less than 10% of reported theft cases. Two Navy Chiefs are saying enough is enough with the introduction of their Package Leash Alarm System.

SAN DIEGO (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 14, 2019
Let's face it! Your security camera will not stop package thieves. This was a hard lesson learned by two Navy Chiefs who went on a mission to stop package thieves and Porch Pirates dead in their tracks!
In 2018 alone, 11 million people reported their packages being stolen. And that's only the ones reported, the true number is a lot higher. In-home security cameras have been proven to be ineffective, onsite pickups are inconvenient, and scheduling delivery times around work schedules has been a struggle for most Americans. As the number of online shoppers increase year after year, so too has the number of package thieves.
After becoming victims of package theft themselves, Senior Chief Andrew Edwards of Naval Base San Diego and Chief Jason Shaw of Naval Base Everett Washington came up with a brilliant solution that deters package theft. Their smart solution to this growing problem is the Package Leash Alarm System.
Package Leash makes your package a hard target. It easily secures your package to your residence after delivery and within seconds. It consists of a cut resistant security belt, a heavy duty combination lock, and is equipped with smart sensors that activate a loud alarm if the package is being tampered with or stolen. Most importantly, it works for all standard packages, all residences, and all weather conditions.
"Package theft is a crime of opportunity. These thieves don't know what they are getting and are looking for easy targets. They don't want to be caught and will not take the risk of stealing your package if it's too much of a hassle. So the key is to make your package a hard target for Porch Pirates and that's what our Package Leash Alarm System does," said Senior Chief Edwards
"Not for self but country" doesn't stop at the shores or at the end of a Sailor's service. It's a wonderful thing to see Service men and women applying their skills and knowledge to protect everyone right here on the home front. They are currently reaching out and teaming up with various Couriers to include Amazon, Fedex, UPS, and DHL; as well as various Home Owner's Associations; Property Managers, and Neighborhood watches to join this fight against Package thieves and save millions of Americans from becoming victims of Package theft.

10 lucky "Golden Certificate Giveaway" winners will receive a Golden Certificate worth $1,000 in their New Mover Welcome Package.

CLEARWATER, FLA. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 14, 2019
New movers across America could win a thousand dollars just by opening their mail. In celebration of the 10th Anniversary of Small Business Saturday, Our Town America, the nation's premier New Mover Marketing franchise, will award 10 certificates of $1,000 each in 10 different cities from coast-to-coast.
To win one of these $1,000 "Golden Certificate Giveaway" prizes, new residents in these cities simply must tear open their personalized Our Town America new mover welcome package and call up to claim the money. They'll receive a check they can spend anywhere, though they're encouraged to support local businesses during the holiday season.
"With this 'Golden Certificate Giveaway,' we welcome new movers to our communities across America while encouraging them to buy at local businesses," says Our Town America's CEO Michael Plummer, Jr."Our goal is to help small businesses flourish because these mom-and-pop shops are the backbone of our economy. This holiday season, we ask new movers to learn about their local retailers. Drop in, say 'hello,' and spend money with the businesses located right in their own neighborhoods. It's a win-win for all and a celebration of everything 'local' this holiday season."
Here's how the "Golden Certificate Giveaway" works. In the coming weeks, Our Town America will mail out their December 2019 New Mover Welcome Packages full of valuable local business offers. These one-time housewarming certificates give new movers deals at local restaurants, dental offices, gyms and other businesses.
For ten lucky winners, a golden certificate of $1,000 will be included alongside the other offers. All each winner needs to do to claim their prize is call the Our Town America phone number printed on the Golden Certificate. Once claimed over the phone, each winner will be awarded a check for the money as part of a local ceremony during the holiday season. Winners have until January 16 to claim their prize.
Our Town America launched the "Golden Certificate Giveaway" because even though things are looking up for retailers this holiday shopping season (The National Retail Federation predicts 2019 November and December in–store retail sales to increase between 3.8%-4.2% over sales in 2018), generating in-store traffic throughout the year remains difficult and many retailers simply struggle to "hang on" until the holidays.
Plummer hopes the "Golden Certificate Giveaway" will inspire thousands of new movers to support local retailers, even if they don't win one of the big prizes.
"We support Small Business Saturday year-round at Our Town America," says Plummer. "Each Welcome Package we deliver represents a new opportunity for a new resident to build long-term, loyal relationships with local business owners offering the goods and services they need. We hope the 'Golden Certificate Giveaway' inspires more new movers than ever to open their Welcome Package, take advantage of the offers, and build relationships with some of the best small business owners in their backyard."

CYBEX Advises Parents to Ditch the Bulky Jacket for Thin Layers

CANTON, MASS. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 14, 2019
With winter just around the corner, parents want to make sure their children are nice and cozy – especially on long car rides. While padded jackets and overalls might keep little ones warm, during a car ride they can become dangerous, no matter how quick the journey.
The harness system on a car seat must fit snugly in order to ensure maximum safety during a crash or sudden stop. While children may want to be wrapped up in their favorite jacket for warmth, when they're strapped into a car seat, a padded winter coat can compress leaving a gap between the harness and the child's body. This can make the harness loose and put the child in unnecessary danger.
How can parents ensure their children are both comfortable and safe in their car seat this winter? There are four simple things parents can do:
Layers, layers, layers 
Instead of a thick, puffy coat, dress the child in several thin layers. Start with a comfortable T-shirt and then work outwards. A thin fleece pullover and a light woolen jacket on top will do the trick. Dressing a child in several thin layers will keep them warm, without the risk of the material compressing. Heat is quite nicely retained between the individual layers, and there's the extra advantage that dressing like this is more comfortable for the child.
Bring a blanket 
There's no reason to leave a child's favorite blanket back home when you can just as easily bring it on your trip. Once the child is safely harnessed and buckled into their car seat, tuck the blanket around them in the seat. He or she will be safe, warm and snuggly for the journey!
Other options 
Parents who are traveling with small children are already carrying around a lot of stuff. Instead of dragging around an extra blanket, parents can use the things they already have. While children shouldn't wear their bulky winter coats in their car seat, there is nothing wrong with using it to cover up after the child has been safely buckled up. If the child is frequently moved from their stroller into the car and back again, try a footmuff that can easily be removed from the stroller and tuck it around the child in the car. Bonus: It will already be warm.
Check the ambient temperature in the car 
Parents typically only worry about the temperature of the car during the hot summer months. However, the winter months pose a risk of hypothermia for children when the car gets too cold. CYBEX incorporates SensorSafe technology into car seats that alerts to possible critical situations, including hypothermia. The activated SensorSafe chest clip continuously measures the temperature inside the car and alerts the driver if the ambient temperature of the child is too hot or too cold. This helps to prevent an overheating or undercooling of the child.
The CYBEX family wishes parents everywhere a safe journey this winter season! Additional information on CYBEX and SensorSafe Technology can be found at cybex-online.com.
About CYBEX 
CYBEX offers car seats, baby carriers, kids' furniture and strollers that are not only safe but perfectly adapt to urban lifestyles. Always questioning the status quo and not afraid of challenging the establishment, CYBEX has become not just a leader in child safety but is seen as an innovative lifestyle and fashion brand. With its fresh approach, CYBEX designs products for parents while pushing the boundaries that often separate safety, design and function.

Academy Award-winning actor Joe Pesci's Jersey Shore waterfront mansion is for sale and featured this week at TopTenRealEstateDeals.com.

POMPANO BEACH, FLA. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 14, 2019
"Joe Pesci's Jersey Shore Mansion For Sale"
Whether as Vinny Gambini, Joe Pesci's character in the Deep South legal-comedy 'My Cousin Vinny,' or Nicholas "Nicky" Santoro, his mob character with animal-killer instincts in 'Casino,' Pesci's skilled sense of timing brings his characters to life in a way that few actors can match. He announced his retirement from acting in 1999 to return to music, his first love, but fans are thrilled to learn that once again he has teamed up with Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in a new film, 'The Irishman,' which will stream on Netflix starting November 27th. In the meantime Pesci has put his Jersey Shore waterfront home up for sale in Lavallette, New Jersey with his sights focused on a future of returning to warm California sunshine. It is priced at $6.5 million.
Built in 1990, the 7,200-square-foot contemporary with an Art Deco vibe is located in the West Point Island neighborhood, protected from Atlantic storms on Barnegat Bay and only a short bicycle ride to the beach. Bright, airy and spacious and taking full advantage of the beautiful view, the eight-bedroom, eight-bath home has an open floor plan with large rooms perfect for large parties that spill out to the spacious pool terrace at the water's edge with boat dock beyond. The gated property is completely fenced with a large motor court that can accommodate multiple guests as well as a two-car garage for the owner. Upon entering, a dramatic free-standing curved staircase sets the stage for the living areas. With white rooms filled with light and the backdrop of the bay through floor-to-ceiling windows, the living room with its two seating areas and pianos hint at musical get togethers. The large eat-in kitchen with island is perfect for preparing large meals for dinner guests in the dining room encircled by glass doors opening to the pool terrace and bay. The comfortable media room walls are decorated with posters from Pesci's films and because his first job was as a barber, a barber's chair occupies one corner as a poignant reminder. The upper level, which can also be reached by elevator, contains bedrooms and an office, all with upper terraces and spectacular views. A downstairs party room next to the pool and spa has its own kitchen for entertaining.
Many celebrities who were born and raised in New Jersey have homes up and down the Jersey Shore similar to Joe. From makeup mogul Bobbi Brown to Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, author Mary Higgins Clark and many more, the shore is awash in glitterati.
After making 34 films, Joe Pesci has cut his second album, 'Vincent LaGuardia Gambini Sings Just for You,' named after his character in 'My Cousin Vinny.' This second album comes 30 years after his first, which was where he started in the entertainment business. He was deeply involved in the music industry until acting in the film 'The Death Collector,' which grabbed the attention of Martin Scorsese - and his film career was born.
Academy Award-winning actor for his role in 'Goodfellas,' Joe Pesci is selling his Jersey Shore waterfront mansion which has been his home for almost 30 years. He plans on relocating to California for year-round sunshine and to get in some extra golf. Priced at $6.5 million, the listing agent is Michael Puccio of RE/MAX Central, North Manalapan, New Jersey.
Visit TopTenRealEstateDeals.com for more historic, spectacular and celebrity homes and real estate news.

Key New NEPC Review Takeaway: Due to data and methods limitations, report fails to prove its claim that higher charter market share is associated with achievement gains for all students.

BOULDER, COLO. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 14, 2019
A recent report from the Thomas B. Fordham Institute examines whether average achievement in a school district increases as the "market share" of charter schools rises. The report argues that there is a positive competition effect.
Yongmei Ni of the University of Utah reviewed Rising Tide: Charter School Market Share and Student Achievement, and determined that its findings have limited use in guiding policy and practice, because of the flawed data and methods it employs.
Using a national data set of school districts with longitudinal records (allowing an analysis of each school district's changes over time), the report found that overall, higher charter market share is associated with statistically significant increases in average reading achievement (but not math achievement). Further, the report finds some positive relationships for specific racial subgroups in districts of certain sizes and geographic locations. The report concludes that charter schools are "a rising tide" that "lifts all education boats."
Professor Ni explains that these findings and conclusions should be interpreted with extreme caution because of major weaknesses surrounding the data and methods, including the measure of charter market share, the sample selection criteria, and the overreliance on results based on a small number of districts, especially those districts with over 95th percentile of charter market share.
Overall, she concludes, the findings have little use to policymakers because of these issues with data and methods, and because the report does not probe beneath the surface. For example, it does not examine possible policy factors that might be associated with charter market share in a given area having a positive or negative association with public school systems. Similarly, it does not consider which practices might benefit charter schools and/or public school systems as a whole.

Online gifting tools, crowdfunding and gift cards attract higher education savings dollars and reduce debt

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 14, 2019
As the holiday giving season approaches, 529 Education Gifting Programs and their widening array of online gifting tools, crowdfunding platforms, e-gift cards and downloadable gift certificates, are making higher education savings easier for parents, family members and friends, say members of the College Savings Foundation.
"With student loan debt soaring to $1.6-trillion, saving for a child's higher education is climbing to the top of the wish list for many parents. 529 education gifting tools offer a streamlined solution by helping family and friends to save – and also feel good about reducing the child's future need for debt," said CSF Chair Richard J. Polimeni.
Among CSF members' offerings are personalized websites for crowdfunding, online registries, electronic or physical gift cards purchasable online or at national retail and grocery chains, and downloadable gift certificates. Links and special features are included in this Infographic:https://www.collegesavingsfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/CSF-GIFTING-2019_20.pdf
The holidays prompt a spike in 529 education gifting contributions – although increasingly they are also being used for New Year's Resolutions, birthdays, graduations and special occasions throughout the year. Numerous CSF members report robust year-over-year growth in their gifting program contributions.
One benefit of online gifting is that parents can include a link to a child's customized 529 education savings platform in an e-birthday invitation or social media site. New CSF data from its State of College Savings survey show that only one in five parents say they already ask friends or family members to make a 529 college savings contribution rather than a material gift. However, when it came to making their own education savings gifts, one third (33%) of parents said they use either 529 college savings plan gift registries or online gifting tools.
"By sharing a link to a child's 529 savings plan, a family can spread the word about these savings tools and let their friends decide. It's an increasingly popular way to empower their broader network to participate in a child's financial and educational future," Polimeni said.
CSF members have implemented ways to make gifting easier: 

At Virginia529 family and friends can access a Gift Center for digital gift cards, get co-branded gift cards available at Walmart.com or participating Target or H.E.B. Grocery locations, or download gift certificates for a variety of occasions from its website.

GiftofCollege.com offers a range of options (which can be used with any 529 plan) including electronic or physical gift cards purchasable online or at retailers (such as select Target, Barnes & Noble, Brookshire Brother's, Fred's Pharmacy, Cumberland Farms, Kinney Drugs, H-E-B, Save Mart, Foodmaxx, and Lucky Supermarkets). Employers can purchase Gift of College gift cards in bulk to reward/recognize employees and to celebrate employee births and other milestones.

Nebraska's NEST 529 Direct and Advisor College Savings Plans offer access to Ugift as well as a downloadable greeting card and gift contribution coupon.

Learning Quest 529 Education Savings Program is launching a Ugift crowdfunding capability in mid-December.

Indiana's CollegeChoice 529 plan owners can share a Ugift code with friends and family so they can "give a gift that won't be outgrown."

Additionally, other CSF member gifting programs have experienced robust growth:

Alaska 529 or T. Rowe Price College Savings Plan account holders can set up a gifting portal to share with friends and family by email or social media. They have seen a 172% increase in gifting into Alaska 529 accounts and 250% increase in gifting into T. Rowe Price College Savings Plan accounts.

Fidelity-managed gifting programs have soared in popularity (UNIQUE College Investing Plan, MEFA U. Fund College Investing Plan, Fidelity Arizona College Savings Plan and Delaware College Investing Plan) together experiencing 76% growth in online contributions.

My529's gifting program has seen a 25% increase over the last year. Friends and family can contribute with the gift code accessed through gift.my529.org or by writing the code in the memo section of a check.

ScholarShare 529, California's official college savings plan, allows account holders to establish a gifting portal profile and share it with friends and family by email or social media. ScholarShare 529 has experienced a 25% Year-Over-Year increase in gifting.

The College Savings Foundation (CSF) is a Washington, D.C.- based not-for-profit organization helping American families achieve their education savings goals.http://www.collegesavingsfoundation.org

Company Introduces Sustainable Skincare Made with Natural Ingredients

MINNEAPOLIS (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 14, 2019
Today, palm oil-free skincare innovator Peet Bros. launched a new line of olive oil, shea butter and hemp oil + CBD soaps and lotions that are completely free of palm oil and palm oil derivatives, allowing consumers to make a truly sustainable bath and body choice. Peet Bros. is committed to using a high percentage of the highest quality shea butter, olive oil and hemp oil in their personal care line – making its products incredibly moisturizing for all skin types.
Palm oil is found in more than 50 percent of products on grocery store shelves – from packaged food items to soaps, lotions, makeup and other household products. Despite being a prevalent ingredient due to its inexpensive price and stabilizing qualities, the palm oil industry is one of the largest contributors to global deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity loss. With 80 percent of the world's palm oil produced in Malaysia and Indonesia, this destructive industry has decimated that habitat of endangered species, such as orangutans and Sumatran tigers, and has become a huge driver of the climate crisis.
"At Peet Bros., we are committed to creating quality products that keep sustainability top of mind," said David Bass, President of Peet Bros. "When we learned about palm oil's devastating impact on the environment, native species and biodiversity, indiginous populations, and global climate change, we knew there was a need for personal care products made without palm oil that perform as well as the other products on the shelf. In fact, we found that when you take out the palm fillers, you can pack way more moisturizing power into each bar and bottle."
Unlike most skincare products, Peet Bros. products offer more of the good stuff. While most bath and body products use only trace amounts of key ingredients, Peet Bros. soaps and lotions include more shea butter, olive oil and hemp oil than nearly any other ingredient. The company's products are also free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates and artificial fragrances – allowing consumers to be confident in what they're putting on their bodies.
According to Nielsen Data, 64 percent of shoppers purchase sustainable products and 73 percent of consumers say they would definitely change their consumption habits to reduce environmental impact. Peet Bros. soaps and lotions allow consumers to live by these values. By purchasing palm-free products, shoppers are making the responsible choice to help save the planet one product at a time.
Peet Bros. Shea Butter and Olive Oil soaps are available nationwide online and priced at $6.00 and its Hemp Oil + CBD soaps are available for pre-order and priced at $12.00 per five ounce bar. Its Shea Butter lotions are also available for pre-order online and cost $12.00 per 13 ounce bottle and its Hemp Oil + CBD lotions cost $18.00 per 10 ounce bottle. The products are also available on shelves in select Wegmans stores with more retailers to come. For the full Peet Bros. product line, as well as bundle pack pricing and information, please visit http://www.peetbrospalmfree.com.
About Peet Bros. 
Founded in 2019, Peet Bros. is a bath and body innovator offering products that are better for your skin and the planet. The company's moisturizing soaps and lotions contain absolutely no palm oil, leaving room for more of the good stuff. The U.S. made products are Leaping Bunny Certified and are also free of parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances. To help protect rainforests and the animals affected by the destructive palm oil industry, Peet Bros. is a proud 1% for the Planet member – supporting nonprofit organizations creating positive change for the environment.

Proceeds from the "Sheepdog" Patch of the Month support the nonprofit that provides for the families of police officers killed in the line of duty.

SAN DIEGO (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 14, 2019
A fundraising effort organized by GovX, the online shopping site exclusively for current and former military and first responders, has raised $9,775 for Concerns of Police Survivors, the nonprofit fund that provides for the families of fallen police officers.
Each year, over 100 police officers are killed in the line of duty. Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) provides resources to families and co-workers to deal with this staggering loss. Survivors include spouses, children, parents, siblings, significant others, and co-workers of officers who have died. C.O.P.S. programs include counseling, peer support, retreats and activities for kids, legal support, and more for families and coworkers recovering from the loss of a loved one.
C.O.P.S. was organized in 1984 with 110 individual members. Today, C.O.P.S. membership includes over 51,000 survivors, including spouses, children, parents, siblings, significant others, and co-workers of officers who have died in the line of duty according to federal government criteria.

Mother-daughter owners, Erica Benson and Lynn Lamoureux of GreenDog Spa have volunteered their grooming services for 100 rescue dogs so far in 2019.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 15, 2019
Mother-daughter owners, Erica Benson and Lynn Lamoureux of Green Dog Spa have volunteered their grooming services for 100 rescue dogs so far in 2019.
Starting in 2011, Green Dog Spa has always welcomed rescue pets into their business, but this is the first time this heart-warming milestone has been reached. "It always seemed like the right thing to do. I can't tell you exactly how this started because it's just seemed so natural. The first time I got a call I said, 'sure bring them over!'. It grew from there. I'm so proud of our team" says Lamoureux.
Over time, word of mouth has earned Green Dog Spa a reputation for helping pets in need. Nonprofit organizations like K9 for Warriors, Jacksonville Humane Society, Animal Care and Protective Services, Canine Companions for Independence and others have learned that the caring pair are willing to help deserving pets find a new home and a better life.
Benson adds "We help anytime we are called. We're happy to do it and feel like it's our contribution to not only the animals but the generous volunteers that keep these organizations going. It's not important to us which organization needs help. For us, its all about the animal. The grooming process helps reveal true personality and aids in the re-homing process.
Specific donated services have included baths, nail clipping, and hair cutting. Florida Urgent Rescue (F.U.R.), an organization that specializes in hurricane displaced pets has been coming to GreenDog for 5 years. Mike Merrill, founder states "They're a great partner to have. Many times we have neglected pets that are unrecognizable due to hair matting and lack of care. This can lead to health problems such as ear infections, blindness, and conditions where nails grow into the paw pad."
This isn't only about making a beautiful pet, it's also a health issue that if left unchecked, can cause serious harm."
Lamoureux and Benson admit that there is a maximum number of dogs and cats they can treat for free, although they have difficulty identifying that number. Instead, they hope to inspire other pet businesses and individuals to join in the bigger effort. One willing partner has been Sunland Acres Pet Boarding Camp located in Fruit Cove. Already in 2019, they have provided over 300 days of boarding services mostly to F.U.R. when they are over capacity.
To learn how you might be able to help, contact erica@ericabenson.com 904-683-5301
About Green Dog Spa: 
Originally opened in 2011 Green Dog Spa has become a favorite location for pets and their owners to come enjoy dog and cat grooming services. Their professional team of Certified Pet Groomers and apprentices are among the most highly trained in North Florida. They are dedicated to a safe, natural approach with a focus on continuing education. The result is a happy and healthy pet.

Associations from Raleigh, North Carolina, Chicago, Illinois, and India enter mutually beneficially agreements.

SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 15, 2019
The Raleigh Regional Association of REALTORS (RRAR) signed two Memoranda of Understanding during the National Association of REALTORS Convention, held in San Francisco. These strategic partnerships were signed with RRAR's Ambassador Association, the National Association of REALTORS - India, as well as domestic partners Mainstreet Organization of REALTORS, located in the Chicagoland area.
"It's an exciting honor to be serving as President during this time when our association is being recognized globally for being active thought leaders in providing new and exciting services for our members," 2019 RRAR President Renee Smith said. "I think this truly the beginning of a bigger vision we have for being connected with countries around the world and here at home in elevating industry professionalism and the role of the association in economic development."
These MOUs establish the cooperation of RRAR in developing mutually beneficial relationships with both NAR – India as well as Mainstreet Organization of REALTORS that will directly impact both the members of these Associations, but also make a considerable impact on economic development and the housing markets, as a whole.
"It really is amazing to see how much bigger, and smaller, our world became by forming these strategic partnerships," Chief Executive Officer of the Raleigh Regional Association of REALTORS Andrew Sims said. "From opening up new markets for our REALTOR members to conduct business in, to pledging our commitment to use video and web technology to share resources and education opportunities, and working to grow our association's cultural bonds with our vibrant international community her in Raleigh there is just so much to be proud of in our leadership making this a priority for our organization."
RRAR and NAR-India have been paired by the National Association of REALTORS as sister associations since 2017. With considerable foreign investment in the Triangle region of North Carolina from India, the two associations helped make their connection more formal by entering into this MOU and agreeing to promote bilateral information, market statistics, and increased local collaborations in both North Carolina and India for the purposes that are mutually beneficial.
"We are so excited to see an even deeper level of partnership grow with NAR-India," Vice President of Policy & Engagement with RRAR Casey Angel said. "As many know in the Triangle, our region has a wonderful, thriving Indian-American community. Creating a tie to our sister association that goes beyond simple commerce and home buying is a fantastic next step."
As the Raleigh region continues to attract both domestic and international business investment opportunities, a growing number of individuals and families will require housing professionals who understand their unique needs. In establishing a joint partnership with both NAR-India, as well as Mainstreet Organization of REALTORS, RRAR continues to open up the potential for endless possibilities of collaboration for these regions and growth for its REALTOR Members.

Mold doesn't need things to be wet in order to grow; it needs a combination of circumstances that include moisture that isn't necessarily detectable to the eye or by touch. ServPro in Cayucos, the mold damage specialist, answers the question "Why is there mold when nothing is wet" by explaining the conditions that mold needs to grow and how to prevent those conditions.

PASO ROBLES, CALIF. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 15, 2019
Mold doesn't need things to be wet in order to grow; it needs a combination of circumstances that include moisture that isn't necessarily detectable to the eye or by touch. ServPro in Cayucos, the mold damage specialist, answers the question "Why is there mold when nothing is wet" by explaining the conditions that mold needs to grow and how to prevent those conditions.
Mold is never completely eliminated because mold spores are everywhere, just waiting for the perfect conditions to grow. Mold spores need a combination of organic matter for food, moisture, warmth, and oxygen. The organic matter and moisture is the reason mold is often discovered in piles of leaves in the shade of trees in the middle of summer. The leaves provide the organic matter and the shade helps retain the level of moisture the spores need. Mold grows best in warm temperatures between 77 and 86 degrees, and this is why warm weather does not necessarily announce the end of "mold season."
The old saying: "An ounce prevention is worth a pound of cure," certainly applies to mold. Removing as much of the conditions that feed mold as possible is the best approach to preventing mold damage.
Step one is to keep all surfaces clean and dry and provide plenty of ventilation.
Start outside by removing wet damp landscaping away from the foundation of the building. Where possible, replace water-hungry shrubs and flowers drought-tolerant plants. 

Clean up fallen leaves that can harbor mold spores. For those who like to leave fallen leaves on the ground because of the benefits to the soil, just remove those next to the foundation. Fallen leaves can be recycled as garden mulch.

Check the roof and exterior siding for loose shingles, boards, and cracks and make the necessary repairs.

Check attics, basements, crawl spaces for signs of leaks and moisture and make the necessary repairs.

Check under bathroom, kitchen and laundry room cabinets and check for signs of leaks and moisture around the walls and flooring near appliances and fixtures.

Include any stonework or masonry in the inspection.

Check for leaking pipes and other plumbing fixtures.

Clean up any mold and check for any mold or water damage. The damage can be in the form of rotted wood or crumbling drywall, stains, and serious rot damage to the structure of the building.

Call the ServPro Cayucos mold damage experts for a thorough inspection of your home or business. The ServPro team knows that mold damage can disrupt your life. The team is highly trained to clean and restore residential and commercial property for mold, damage, fire damage, water damage, smoke damage and a wide range of other situations.

Overstock, a leading retailer of Feather Beds, has been awarded a top 5-star rating from TopConsumerReviews.com.

OVERLAND PARK, KAN. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 15, 2019
TopConsumerReviews.com has awarded their highest five-star rating to Overstock, a market leader in Feather Beds.
People have differing opinions about the ideal elements for the perfect night's sleep. While some prefer a certain thread count of bed sheets, and others say it's all about the room temperature, everyone can agree that there's no good sleep when the bed itself is uncomfortable. For that reason, Feather Beds continue to increase in popularity: not only do they offer a heavenly sleeping surface that virtually everyone finds comfortable, but they also help regulate temperatures no matter the time of year. But most stores carry few if any Feather Beds, leaving people to choose from less desirable options - unless shoppers are savvy enough to look online. There, they find that the world's best selection of Feather Beds is just a few clicks away, bringing them the right bed at the right price, and directly to their doorstep with no driving around required.
"Overstock is our go-to store for buying Feather Beds online," according to Brian Dolezal of TopConsumerReviews.com, LLC. "Whether you're looking for a budget-friendly micro feather fill to a more luxurious 800-fill bed made of European goose down, you'll find it among Overstock's selection of more than 30 Feather Beds. And, because Overstock is so popular as a retailer, you can easily see what other customers have said about the particular bed that interests you. Looking at this store's competitors, you'll have a hard time finding anyone that can beat their prices and availability, or that offer free shipping on almost every order. Overstock maintains a very positive reputation with their customers, and we're happy to name them as our first-place store among retailers offering Feather Beds in 2019."

Forgiveness courses created and officially launched this week by Misty Tyme may be what stops the anxiety, fear and pain that ruins the season for many

BOISE, IDAHO (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 15, 2019
If dreading the holidays means seeing the Ex, or being with family members that fight and dredge up the past, the newly released Forgiveness Coursescreated by Misty Tyme might be the answer to leaving the dread behind. Part one of the Forgiveness Course is: Understanding What Forgiveness Is and What It Is Not. Part two: How to Forgive Your Ex. Part three is: How to Forgive Your Family. More information can be found on the newly launched website, mistytyme.com.
In these step-by-step courses, Tyme teaches how to forgive and let go which will make the holiday season a more joyful time as it is meant to be. What people don't know or lose sight of in harboring the un-willingness or inability to forgive is they are desperate for an apology and want the other person to change. And they are stuck in the myths and misconceptions of what forgiveness really is. "Many people want to feel better and want to let go of pain, anger and unfilled expectations that is un-forgiveness. The problem is, people do not know how. In both of my courses, I give people the how with a dash of humor so they can live happier and have better relationships. Forgiveness really is the link between love and healing," says Misty Tyme.
"Misty Tyme is the consummate forgiveness professional. What I love about her courses is the blend of compassion and understanding with excellent tools like "Will and Skill" from which everyone can benefit. Misty's understanding of relationships can help you heal a lifetime of hurts and come out even stronger. I highly recommend her courses, and her coaching," says Bridget Cook-Burch, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Witness Wore Red.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that the average household leaks waste as much as 10,000 gallons of water per year. "These small leaks add up to higher water bills and expensive repairs," reports Joe Powers, the water damage specialists at ServPro Cayucos.

PASO ROBLES, CALIF. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 16, 2019
The United States Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) estimates that the average household leaks waste as much as 10,000 gallons of water per year. "These small leaks add up to higher water bills and expensive repairs," reports Joe Powers, the water damage specialist at ServPro Cayucos.
Common sources of leaks in the home include worn toilet flappers, dripping faucets, leaking valves, and leaking pipes and pipe fittings. Fixing these kinds of leaks can save about 10-percent on water bills.
A leaking faucet may not seem like a big deal, but if a faucet is dripping all day, at a rate of a drop every second, the wasted water amounts to a gallon in only four hours. A running toilet can waste over a gallon of water per hour.
Another seemingly small thing that contributes to water damage is cracked or missing grout. Grout and caulking degrade over time and crack. Water can seep through the tiniest crack and when chunks of caulking are missing, more water seeps from the sink, tub or shower and into the flooring and walls.
In a March 2019 report, Insurance Business Americareported that the total amount of insurance payouts for water damage in 2017 was $13 billion and the average claim was around $10,000. The article also stated that neglecting a slow leak "until the damage reaches critical levels" could result in a coverage dispute.
Whether the leak is behind the washer, the kitchen sink, or a running toilet, a little drip can cost big bucks, and be even more expensive if the insurance company determines neglect was the cause.
Other seemingly small things that can add up to serious water damage and expensive repairs include:

Dampness under sinks caused by cracked pipes, loose or rusted fittings.

Water, dampness, and mold in crawl spaces, attics, and basements.

Water that puddles and remains unchanged for more than a day or damp spots on the ground that don't change can be a sign of broken pipes or a faulty septic system.

Landscape watering that lands on exterior walls or the foundation can contribute to water damage and mold. Inspect the watering system and make the necessary adjustments to keep water away from the exterior of the building.

Anyone who is experiencing water damage, or suspects the home or business to have water damage, can contact ServPro Cayucos for an expert evaluation and repairs. ServPro works with the leading insurance companies and also helps property owners file claims and monitor the status of their claim.

The 2019 production will also mark the world premiere of "Mystical Nativity," an original composition inspired by the 16th century masterpiece painted by Italian Renaissance master, Sandro Botticelli.
The concert presents the music of Christmas accompanied by readings taken from the Celtic literature of Scotland, Ireland and Wales. Featured performers include singer Maddy Kearns of Glasgow, Scotland making her concert debut, James Robinson from the film "Braveheart," New England fiddle champion Paul Woodiel, champion harpist Rachel Clemente, guitarist Steve Gibb from Inverness, Scotland and the Pipe Major Kevin Ray Blandford Memorial Pipe Band from Redlands, CA among many more.
Proceeds Support Scholarships and More
Proceeds from the concert support an extensive music scholarship program, which includes the Carol Hassert Memorial Fine Arts Scholarship at Summit (NJ) High School as well as annual gifts to the National Piping Centre and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (both located in Glasgow, Scotland), the Gaelic College of Nova Scotia and Lyon College in Batesville, Arkansas.
Proceeds also support the Society's sponsorship of the US National Scottish Harp Championship, the Gaelic Literature Competition at Scotland's Royal National Mod and an annual academic research prize at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, Scotland's Gaelic college on the Isle of Skye.
Each year, concert highlights are webcast in hi-definition over the Christmas holiday to a global audience. In cooperation with HomeTowne Television, the 2018 production was the recipient of two prestigious Telly Awards for production excellence.
The 21st annual concerts will also mark the debut of a new CD, the "Best of the Pipes of Christmas - Volume 2." This compilation CD follows the highly successful first volume CD which has already sold in excess of two thousand copies.

Pet Wants' specially-crafted, private label pet food formulas are made in small batches with fresh, natural ingredients enhanced with vitamins and minerals for a complete and balanced diet in every bowl. Pet Wants MKE Lakefront offers multiple blends of dog and cat food formulas as well as healing salve, calming balm, anti-itch spray, paw wax and more. Pet Wants MKE Lakefront is a mobile business that offers free, personal delivery to the Historic Third Ward, East Side, Shorewood, Whitefish Bay, Glendale, Fox Point, Brown Deer and the surrounding area.
"I grew up with dogs and, from the minute I moved into a dog-friendly apartment, I knew I wanted a dog. I adopted Spirit more than two year ago and she is a huge part of my life. I'm careful about what I eat and put into my own body and, as Spirit went through a host of health issues, I realized it was important to pay attention to what she was eating as well. I'm looking forward to bringing a healthy, convenient pet food option to this region," Abanathie said.
Pet Wants has a 100-percent, money-back guarantee on the freshness and quality of the food and the company only sources the best salmon, chicken, lamb, brown rice and other ingredients available. There's no sugar added, no fillers and no animal by-products and Pet Wants never uses corn, wheat, soy or dyes, which makes the food great for animals with allergies.
Abanathie is originally from St. Louis and she graduated from Indiana State University with a degree in Operations and Supply Chain Management and a minor in German Language Studies. She moved to Milwaukee after graduation for a job in manufacturing and has called the Milwaukee area home ever since. She's also an active volunteer and pet foster with Lucky Mutts Rescue. Abanathie started thinking about opening her own business after adopting her now 4-year-old rescue dog named Spirit.
"I took Spirit to the emergency clinic five times before we found out she had Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Finding healthy, clean, fresh food was critical for her well-being. Also, with all her health issues, I hated going to work every day and leaving her alone," Abanathie said. "Pet Wants' fresh, high-quality food was exactly what Spirit needed and owning my own local franchise allows me to have her as my co-pilot and be home with her when I need to. Spirit motivates me to build this business – she's my why."

"We were both searching for alternative foods with natural, healthy ingredients. We thought, if we are so conscious about what we put in our bodies, why aren't we the same about Zane?

Our extensive research led us to Pet Wants. Pet Wants is the perfect combination of everything we were looking for in a pet food and Zane has loved it since our very first sample," Frank said.

Onlinequotesautoinsurance.com announces a new blog post, "Why 6 Months Long Policies Become Preferred By Insurance Companies"

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 18, 2019
Onlinequotesautoinsurance.com has launched a new blog post that explains the reasons for insurers for preferring the 6 months long car insurance policies.
For more info and free car insurance quotes online, visit https://onlinequotesautoinsurance.com/6-months-long-policies-preferred/
Drivers can choose to pay their insurance premiums monthly, every 3 months, every 6 months, or annually. Insurance companies seem to prefer 6-months long policies.
Some insurance companies offer only 6-months long policies. For drivers, it's in their best interest to purchase a year-long policy. 12-months long policies will help drivers lock in a cheaper car insurance premium for a longer period. The insurance rates are constantly rising, so it's better for drivers to lock on a cheaper policy for a longer period of time, than having to pay for increased rates every 6 months.
Insurance companies offer 6-months polices for two main reasons. Both of these reasons are related to money. Insurance companies set rates, and will try to sell as many policies as possible, and then will wait for a period of several years to collect financial data and see if they are profitable. If insurers charge too little on their policies, they will become unprofitable. If they charge too much, they will sell fewer policies.
For insurance companies that sell only 6 months long policies, it's easier to change the insurance rates if they realize they charge too little on their policies. They don't have to wait for a whole year to change the rates of the policyholders. They can do that every 6 months.
Also, insurers will customize the policies easier. Insurers will find out faster about the negative factors that influence the insurance premiums of a policyholder and will increase his rates immediately.

Onlinequotesautoinsurance.com announces a new blog post, "Why Use Car Insurance Agents"

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 18, 2019
Onlinequotesautoinsurance.com has launched a new blog post that explains how insurance agents can help drivers save car insurance money.
For more info and free car insurance quotes online, visit https://onlinequotesautoinsurance.com/why-use-car-insurance-agents/
Many people still rely on car insurance agents to help them to obtain the right car insurance coverage. It's important for drivers to know the role of insurance agents and see if the services they provide are necessary or valuable for them.
The most important services offered by car insurance agents are: 

Present local regulation. Policyholders that buy coverage directly are responsible to verify if the policy they bought meets the minimum legal requirements of the state they live. Drivers that choose to work with insurance agents won't have to worry to check if their insurance meets the legal requirements. Most insurance agents will present to their customers the minimum legal requirements for insurance.

Present multiple insurance options. Resourceful insurance agents are capable to offer their customers options and choices that they weren't previously aware of. Insurance agents have knowledge of providers that customers might not be aware of. Those insurance providers can offer better policy deals.

Find special insurance policies. High-risk drivers and those who need to carry an SR-22 form will find out that it is easier to work with an insurance agent. Also, drivers that use their vehicles for both personal use and business purposes need specialized assistance in order to obtain the proper coverage.

Emergency steps to follow when a building is flooding depends on the degree of the flood. The water damage specialists from ServPro Los Osos have recently announced emergency steps to follow the different levels of flooding and what to do when it is safe to return.

PASO ROBLES, CALIF. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 18, 2019
Emergency steps to follow when a building is flooding depends on the degree of the flood. The water damage specialists from ServPro Los Ososhave recently announced emergency steps to follow the different levels of flooding and what to do when it is safe to return.
Flooding inside a building has three major causes. 

The first is flooding from a natural event, such as coastal waves, a river overflowing its banks or torrential rain. In these cases, immediate evacuation is the safest thing to do. Recovery can be addressed later after everyone is safe and the waters have receded.

Broken pipes, plumbing or sewer failures, and leaking roofs can cause flooding inside homes or businesses. Except in the case of sewage system failures, an emergency evacuation may not be necessary.

Flooding and water damage can also be caused as the result of extinguishing a fire.

Safety is always first and evacuation is the first safety step.
If there is time before evacuating from a natural disaster, fortify your home or business by putting a tarp on the roof, boarding up windows to help reduce breaking, and place sandbags to divert floodwaters. Turn off the electricity and gas at the main switches and close the main water valve to the building.
In the event of a sewage spill or backup, remember that sewage contains harmful microorganisms that are safety and health hazards. Get everyone, including pets, out of the area and keep them out until the sewage is removed and the space has been sanitized. If the backup has spread to other rooms or is outside, you may need to call the local public works department
The first thing to remember is that sewage presents a health hazard; even a small overflow from the toilet contains harmful microorganisms. This puts safety at the top of the list.
Even when cleaning up a toilet overflow, keep kids and pets out of the area, use rubber gloves and a mask while removing the overflow. Thoroughly dry and sanitize the area. If the overflow has seeped into carpeting a deeper cleaning is necessary. Consider calling a sewage and water damage specialist because home cleaning equipment and supplies are generally not sufficient to remove all of the wastewater and pathogens.
In all cases of any type of flooding, remember that water conducts electricity. If you can safely do so, turn off the electricity at the main switch.
Cleaning up and starting repairs after flooding needs to start as soon as the building is safe to enter. The sooner water, water-soaked articles, and debris are removed the better the outlook for avoiding expensive mold and water damage. The Los OsosServPro team is the expert for remediating damage from flooding.
Along with working closely with most insurance companies and helping property owners file and monitor insurance claims, ServPro has a national reputation for cleaning up and repairing water damage. The experts can assess the damage and create a restoration plan then set about removing the water, even sewage, and repairing the damage.

Through Welcome Wagon's New Mover Marketing Program, automotive businesses are able to greet new movers and offer their services, building relationships with potential life-long customers.

FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 18, 2019
National marketing company, Welcome Wagon, helps local automotive businesses market to new movers in the community with effective direct mail and digital marketing strategies.
The logic behind Welcome Wagon's new mover marketing strategy lies in how automotive businesses and new homeowners have a dually beneficial relationship. Studies have shown that 57% of new homeowners own or lease two automobiles and that 54% will need auto repair services within the first six months. New homeowners are almost always in need of reliable, local auto repair services companies for the maintenance of their vehicle and local companies can increase their customer base with this demand for services. Some of the most common auto repair services include battery replacements, spark plug replacements, AC repairs, brake repairs, oil changes, and more.
Welcome Wagon helps automotive businesses deliver a concise message to new movers by utilizing a direct 1-2-3 approach. When a homeowner moves into their new neighborhood, Welcome Wagon delivers a high-quality Gift Book to their mailbox which includes a full page ad for each business, listing their contact information as well as details about the services they provide. With exclusivity in the Welcome Wagon program, an automotive sales or repair services business has the opportunity to establish a relationship with new movers and build a loyal customer base from the start. To reinforce the automotive business's message and increase chances of success, new movers will receive the 30 days after move-in Postcard and the 90 days after move-in Follow-up Book.
"New homeowners establish more business relationships in the first year of their move than at any other time in their home, which provides a great opportunity for businesses to reach out and introduce themselves," said Steve Goodman, CEO and President of Welcome Wagon. "By reaching out to new homeowners upon move-in, local auto repair services businesses and auto dealers have the ability to grow their base with lifelong customers."
For automotive businesses that also want to greet new movers through the digital route, Welcome Wagon's engaging Digital & Social Media program increases discoverability and strengthens the business's brand and presence online. With their one-touch call feature, new movers can automatically dial a business's phone number, click through to the automotive business's website and see all of their great and inviting offers.
Welcome Wagon's direct mail and digital marketing services allows automotive businesses to reach new movers and prospective customers before their competition, which in the long run helps build strong relationships and establish a great sense of community.

Songwriter Robert Armand wrote a fun Christmas themed Holiday song, and wants to spread the spirit of Christmas in a new meaningful song, "I Just Can't Wait Until Christmas Comes Along" will be released on Spotify on Black Friday. The public relations firm of David and Goliath Public Relations, was hired by Mr. Armand in his assistance to distribute the news.

PORTLAND, ORE. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 18, 2019
On November 29th, 64-year-old software engineer Robert Armand will release his first Christmas song ever. The musician who once played the opening act for Steppenwolf, the famous Canadian rock band, wanted to write "I Just Can't Wait Until Christmas Comes Along" for some time. The song will be released on Pandora, ITunes, Apple Music, Spotify, and Google Play by CD Baby.
In his Portland, Oregon studio, Robert began to ponder writing a fun, yet meaningful song that would help folks who were separated from loved ones by many miles to cope with the situations they faced. Armand says, "I see some folks growing up in situations where all their kids have grown and now live in places all over the globe. I guess I wrote this song as a way to cheer folks up. As you grow older, I believe everyone deep down really only wishes for one thing for Christmas. To bring all their family and friends together in one place – home."
"I Just Can't Wait 'Till Christmas Comes Along" is two minutes and 38 seconds in length. The song features a nice Christmas spirit and upbeat tempo. Even his wife, Heather, was given a part in the making of the song, playing the sleigh bells for the recording. The 64-year-old song writer lives in Columbia Gorge, just outside Portland, Oregon. The CEO of the independent record label David & Goliath Media Publishing, member of ASCAP, Joseph A. Camerieri said, "I like the song, very meaningful very relevant to how we all feel around Christmas time, a sentimental song."
As for Armand's early influences, John Denver, Jim Croce, and James Taylor head the list. But Robert says "I also listened to Keb Mo and Jack Johnson," but he went on to concede how the Eagles, America and Crosby Stills Nash and Young also played a pivotal role in providing inspiration. Robert borrows from several music genres when he sits down to write. The song can be heard on Spotify on November 29th. Connecting with Robert Armand can be done on his Facebook page.
Armand hopes to one day join other famous Christmas classics, like the "Christmas Shoes Song" or Adam Sandler's "Chanukah Song," with an unforgettable work that generations will listen to for years to come. Once the song is released on Black Friday near the end of November, listeners will surely be in for a treat that rouses some genuine nostalgia -just in time before December 25th.

Refinishers can replace refinishing supply inventory with One-for-One Trade-Up of competitor products for NAPCO products.

SKOKIE, ILL. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 18, 2019
NAPCO, Ltd (North American Polymer Company) a leading kitchen and bathroom refinishing product supply and refinishing training company, is pleased to announce the extension of its popular "Trade-Up" program through 2020. This free program provides refinishers with the opportunity to replace bathtub and kitchen refinishing competitor products, including additives, cleaners, primers, coatings with a one-for-one free product exchange for NAPCO's refinishing supplies.
The Inventory Trade-Up Program was developed specifically for refinishers who wish to upgrade their current refinishing supply inventory and begin using NAPCO's advanced refinishing product line. Previously, NAPCO's Trade Up Program was only available during the summer months, but due to the program's popularity, the Trade-Up Program has been officially extended through 2020.
In order to take advantage of this offer, follow the instructions as followed: 
1.    Call NAPCO to confirm the competitor from whom the supplies were purchased. 
2.    Box up current professional refinishing supplies. 
3.    NAPCO will send a shipping label to cover all shipping costs free-of-charge. 
4.    Once the supplies ship, NAPCO will replace the entire supply of inventory with equal value NAPCO products, including the cost of shipping, for free.
"We are proud to offer this program, not only to NAPCO certified refinishers, but to any refinisher who has purchased competitor products. NAPCO is committed to making products that help the refinisher, whether it's decreasing costs or overall job time," said Dani Nichols President of NAPCO, Ltd. "We believe in our professional bathtub and kitchen refinishing products to the point that we will incur the cost of replacing refinishers' non-NAPCO products. Moreover, our customer testimonials from those who have made the switch have shown how it has changed their opinions on these products," she added.
Customer Erica N. of Louisiana shared this feedback after taking part in the Trade-Up offer: "I have been on this bathtub refinishing journey for 13 years. I was like most of the old-school refinishers using very hazardous old-school chemicals and coatings. I am so pleased with my decision to make the switch to the NAPCO family and products! First, the coatingsand end results are phenomenal! My chemical storage space cut in half because with NAPCO's system, there are fewer steps, to do an outstanding professional job, and fewer steps provide a faster service and a larger profit margin. I also like the fact that they are dedicated to the industry and are always in the lab trying to improve and create products to stay ahead of the subpar coating companies and keep their partners advanced and superior in the refinishing industry!"

Study shows significant economic benefit for public and private investment in affordable housing programs

COLUMBUS, OHIO (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 18, 2019
Member organizations of the NeighborWorks Collaborative of Ohio (NCO) have contributed more than $665 Million in economic output to Ohio's economy over a five year period, a recent study indicated. The independent study was conducted by Greater Ohio Policy Center and released today. From 2014 – 2018, NCO member organizations significantly impacted local and regional economies and generated over $67 Million in tax revenue and sustained over 4,500 jobs annually in the state of Ohio.
"A good home is the foundation for many of the positive things that happen in our lives, whether it's a quality education, good health or financial prosperity. This study shows us the economic good that comes from ensuring Ohioans have stable, affordable housing opportunities and have the tools they need to be successful in their housing", said Tina Koumoutsos, Chair of the Collaborative. "The dollars invested in our member organizations create a significant return on investment that is in the best interest of individuals, neighborhoods and businesses throughout Ohio."
The study analyzed several different economic impacts including direct and indirect effects that NCO member activities had on the various business sectors. Tax revenue, sustained employment and contribution to Ohio labor income were also considered. Economic activities factored into the study included physical construction of affordable housing, community development, lending and educational programs such as Home Buyer Education and Financial Coaching. The study also indicated that NCO members originated over $448 Million in first mortgages to first-time home buyers in that five year period, many of those loans in communities of the state that are considered economically depressed and lack significant mortgage lending activity.
NCO is a statewide, nonprofit collaboration of ten Ohio organizations focused on creating sustainable and affordable housing for Ohioans. The organizations, East Akron Neighborhood Development Corporation (Akron), Famicos Foundation (Cleveland), Home Ownership Center of Greater Cincinnati (Cincinnati), Neighborhood Housing Services of Greater Cleveland (Cleveland), Homeport (Columbus), Neighborhood Housing Services of Hamilton (Hamilton), Neighborhood Development Services (Ravenna), Neighborhood Housing Partnership of Greater Springfield (Springfield), NeighborWorks Toledo Region (Toledo) and St. Mary Development Corporation (Dayton), together offer services to all regions of the state. Over 150,000 individuals and families have benefited from services and programs provided by NeighborWorks since 2006. Each member organization is a non-profit affiliated with NeighborWorks America.

Southern California Realtor Roxanne Lopez-Gray, of Bennion Deville Homes, discusses her relocation program "stay or go" in a recent NASS segment.

GLENDORA, CALIF. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 18, 2019
Lopez-Gray recorded a North American Speaker Series(NASS) segment in which she discusses her new relocation program that is designed to assist California homeowners on exactly where to begin when it comes to relocating. The NALA's NASS gives small and medium-sized business owners an exclusive platform to present their stories and industry expertise to a diverse, hyper-local listening audience through astute audio segments.
"Like me, maybe you have been a resident of California your entire life and maybe your curiosity of living somewhere new is starting to build," said Lopez-Gray in her NASS segment. "Have the kids all moved out and your empty nest is too big for you? Maybe you yearn to be near the water? Or next to family that lives in another state?"
However, before one knows where they want to relocate, it is imperative they know what resources they're working with, and Lopez-Gray's team can assist in providing the most accurate, up-to-date, fair-market value for one's home. With this information, they can also assist in finding the right city, town and state that is right for you.
"There isn't one place that I recommend for relocation that I haven't personally been to," added Lopez-Gray. "Anytime I travel, I pay close attention to what is being offered in that town. What are the median homes prices? What direction is the area likely to go in? Who is moving there and why?"
The goal of Lopez-Gray and Bennion Deville Homes is to perfectly match clients with what they're looking for. This includes the costs for selling one's home or wanting to know what a reliable moving company would charge to move one's belongings across the United States.
"Do you want to know what the median home prices are in other parts of the country? We will match you with a real estate professional that shares our ethics and enthusiasm," concluded Lopez-Gray. "You can stop wondering and start knowing what the process of relocation looks like. And ask yourself, 'Shall I stay or go?'"

MoistureShield debuts new Elevate, delivering advanced protection and beauty within an entry-level budget.

ATLANTA (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 18, 2019
Contractors and homeowners who thought capped wood composite decking was far beyond their reach, can think again! MoistureShield has unveiled new Elevate, featuring advanced protection and beauty within an entry-level budget. Elevate capped wood composite decking features a strong, protective cap which shields each board from impact, corrosion and harsh weather.
Elevate is available in two popular colors perfect for adding style and unmatched durability to any outdoor space. Lake Fog is a soft gray shade, while Canoe is a forest brown—both complementing any home's architectural style.
"The Elevate line of decking allows contractors and their customers to affordably upgrade to capped composite wood decking and enjoy all of its benefits," said Richard Lankester, President of MoistureShield, a division of Oldcastle APG. "Elevate delivers the beauty and durability of capped decking without breaking the bank."
In fact, it is estimated that Elevate decking can help homeowners upgrade to the benefits of composites –such as no splinters, increased aesthetics and low upkeep – for only 15% more than a wood deck.
Like all MoistureShield deck products, Elevate also features the Solid Core Difference, a proprietary manufacturing process offering protection against moisture absorption, warping, rotting, and damage from insects right at the core of each board. This technology has resulted in zero structural field failures whether the boards are in the ground, on the ground or even underwater.
Elevate 5/4 deck boards are available in 12 and 16- ft. lengths in grooved profiles (for hidden fasteners) and 20-foot lengths with a solid edge for deck stairs and picture framing, as well as fascia boards in 12-foot lengths. Elevate decking is fully protected by a limited lifetime structural warrant for residential, as well as a residential 30-year limited lifetime fade and stain warranty. For commercial environments, it carries a 10-year limited structural warranty. Elevate will be available in select markets for the initial launch, with plans for a broader roll-out in 2020.
MoistureShield wood composite decking is manufactured from 95 percent recycled content diverting tens of millions of pounds of plastic and wood scrap from landfills annually. For more information, visit http://www.moistureshield.com.

Dr. Aaron Braun with SignatureCare Emergency Center says that while Thanksgiving is a time for friends and family to come together and have fun, it is one of the worst times for accidents and deaths.

HOUSTON (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 18, 2019
For most Texans, Thanksgiving is a time for family gatherings and fun, but a board-certified Houston emergency room physician says it is also a time for families to exercise extra vigilance to avoid health related issues and death.
Dr. Aaron Braun, a board-certified emergency room physician and a managing partner with Houston, TX based SignatureCare Emergency Center, said that because families tend to relax during the annual get-together, it is easy to overlook simple safety precautions.
"Families come together during Thanksgiving. Most people travel long distances to be with their families during this time. As a result, there is the tendency to let your guard down and ignore certain warning signs," Dr. Braun said this week.
He said these warning signs could be something as simple as forgetting to ensure you have a working fire extinguisher and emergency kit available, to not handling and cooking foods properly, which can lead to tragedy.
"How many times do we hear or read about house fires or food poisonings during the holidays? It is commonplace during Thanksgiving, but in most situations, these accidents could have been avoided," he said.
Dr. Braun said most people handle and cook turkeys improperly. Like most poultry, turkeys can contain a harmful bacterium called Salmonella, if handled improperly.
He said it is easy for families to stay healthy and safe if they take a few simple steps: "Start by ensuring that you are handling your turkey properly. Thaw them in your refrigerator and not in the open. Wash cooking surfaces with warm water and soap to avoid cross contamination. Use a food thermometer and cook your turkey to at least 165°F. Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold at all times," he said.
He encouraged families to refrigerate leftovers immediately after dinner, avoid reheating them more than once, or eating them after several days to prevent food poisoning.
In case fire breaks out during the Thanksgiving celebration, Dr. Braun said it is important to keep a working fire extinguisher handy while cooking.
"Most fire extinguishers are not very expensive, but having one around can prevent tragedies. Stove fires are not the right time to figure out where your fire extinguisher is. You need to know where it is at all times and ensure that it is working correctly," he said.
"These are simple steps anyone can take today that could prevent families from experiencing tragedies during this Thanksgiving," Dr. Braun added.
About SignatureCare Emergency Center
Houston, TX based SignatureCare Emergency Center owns 24-hour emergency centers throughout Texas including nine locations in the Houston area (Montrose, Houston Heights, Cypress/FM 1960, Copperfield, Memorial City, Westchase, Bellaire, Mission Bend/Sugar Land and Stafford), Killeen, Austin, College Station, Paris, Midland, Odessa and Texarkana, TX.

After fine-tuning its built-in refrigeration system and accompanying mobile app, Mellow Duo is the first sous-vide machine designed with a multi-vat option to cook multiple dishes together.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 18, 2019
The startup that revolutionized sous-vide cooking for the home chef has done it again with the introduction of Mellow Duo, the first dual-vat smart sous-vide machine. Using its improved patented refrigeration system, Mellow Duo not only cooks your food to perfection but keeps it safely chilled until it's time to cook.
Sous-vide cooking requires precision temperature control to achieve an unparalleled taste and texture common in high-end restaurants and luxury kitchens. Food is juicier, tender and retains its nutrients when cooked via sous-vide.
"In a society that's more time-constrained than ever, it can be hard to cook healthy, high-quality meals at home," said Zalmi Duchman, CEO of Mellow Inc. "Mellow Duo improves upon its older sibling by affording home chefs the opportunity to cook for larger groups, or to cook complete meals with sides in the same machine."
The Mellow team takes food safety seriously and has worked to ensure Mellow Duo's sensors actively monitor water temperatures to ensure it's cool enough to keep food chilled at food-safe temperatures. If the water isn't cold enough, Mellow Duo will prompt a series of actions to quickly cool the water so it's ready to go. A pre-cooling option also chills water overnight so next-day setup is a breeze.
A large dual-vat system sets Mellow Duo apart from the rest. The double wall construction of the sous-vide vat ensures energy efficiency. It's also removable for easy cleaning. With Mellow Duo, cooking for a large group is easier than ever. Make surf and turf, or an entree and sides while using two side-by-side vats, or cook a larger portion of one dish in the large single vat that holds up to 14 portions.
There's no need to buy fancy vacuum sealers or special bags to cook with Mellow Duo. Any food-safe, zip seal bag will work. Its intuitive process turns any home-cook into a master chef. To use Mellow Duo, simply season and bag food, place the bag into the water bath and select the cooking settings. Once cooked, remove the food from the bag and serve, or sear in a pan for a crispy texture.
An AI-enabled app makes creating high-quality meals easier than ever with helpful tips for cooking sous-vide and suggestions based on user ratings of each dish cooked. Mellow's app learns each cook's preferences ensuring each meal is better than the last. Built-in Wi-Fi also gives complete control of Mellow Duo in real-time from anywhere.
Mellow Duo is available to pre-order starting at $149 by visiting pr.go2.fund/mellowsousvide.
About Mellow Inc. 
A start-up on a mission to bring healthy and convenient eating options to the home, Mellow Inc. is the creator of Mellow, a next generation smart kitchen appliance. The world's first smart sous vide machine with built-in refrigeration system for "Home Cooking, When You're Not Home Cooking." For more information, visit http://www.cookmellow.com.

Backers have invested more than $21,000 in the innovative toy that offers children a playful, hands-on way to learn. Kiri is Montessori-approved for kids age one and up.

SALT LAKE CITY (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 18, 2019
Kiri, the smart tech-forward wooden block game that helps children learn languages, STEM curriculum and an expanding library of subjects without any screen time, has surpassed its campaign goal – raising more than $21,000 so far on Kickstarter.
Kiri harkens back to the original wooden blocks that encouraged learning through play, teaching kids letters, numbers, creativity and more. Kiri Co-Founder Justin Egbert and a group of Harvard, Stanford and Brigham Young University-trained engineers, designers, teachers and entrepreneurs started building Kiri nearly two years ago with a goal to "create something that's versatile, adaptive, grows with your child" and, most importantly, makes it fun to learn.
"Blocks are humble toys," Egbert said. "With Kiri, we just made them smarter. We started building Kiri with a simple premise: Is there a way to build a tech-forward toy without a screen that is still fun and engaging?"
He says while the benefits of technology in education are clear, helping kids to become better learners in a more personalized way, studies have shown that too much screen usage can cause depression, ADHD, anxiety and negatively impact their social interactions with other kids.
"Even tech visionaries like Apple Founder Steve Jobs knew the danger of too much screen time," Egbert said. "In referring to his kids, Jobs said that 'we don't allow the iPad in the home...we think it's too dangerous for them in effect.' With Kiri, we've solved that problem."
Kiri includes a block with a glowing logo LED and speaker, charger, two packs of tile cards, a 'mode card' and a tote bag. To use, the child simply places the block on a specific tile to engage light, sound and encourage play: 

Light - The block's LED light will glow indicating its contact with a tile. If the tile is the color blue, the light will glow blue.

Sounds - The block's speaker will make a noise. If the tile is a picture of a cat, the block will say "cat" and then meow.

Physical play – Through the light and sound, children show an increased awareness and attention that encourages play.

Kiri allows children to learn and practice languages, from the most basic to advanced levels, and comes with English, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese already built in.
"Each tile pack supports all three languages as soon as you open the box - there's nothing you need to do," Egbert said. "Just tell Kiri what language you want, then play. As we add new languages, our software will update, and you'll have access to the additional languages for free."
Through play, children will learn skills such as counting, animals and basic phrases in three languages.
There are dozens of tile packs available in an expanding library of subjects: Numbers, animals, shapes, math and more – with the Kiri Team planning to progressively add new languages in 2020 and beyond.
"We'll continue to add new packs - the options are nearly endless," he said. "We love suggestions too, so people can message us and let us know which packs they would like to see next."
Kiri was uniquely created for children of all learning abilities. He says his team spent hours collaborating with parents and children with different abilities so it could meet the needs of this unique and special community. Kiri can teach children with autism, down syndrome, developmental delays, and other learning disabilities.
"It's approachable look and friendly voice promote speech development, cognitive development, manipulative dexterity and much more," Egbert said. "And, for our nonverbal friends, Kiri can even become the voice to express their needs."
Kiri has won or placed in seven business and design competitions, receiving a first-place award through the Miller Competition Series, and third-place recognition in the Student Innovator of the Year Competition.
The name 'Kiri' comes from the Japanese name for the fastest growing tree in the world, the paulownia or 'princess tree.'
"We believe that small childhood investments will have a big impact on the future," he said. "From early concepts like color identification and fine motor skills to more advanced concepts like languages, memorization, and mathematics, Kiri will grow with your child. Our goal is to provide the best learning toy your child will ever use, and we will continue to add more packs and other products to pair with the Kiri block to enhance learning and fun."

Nicki Zvik, Founder of Green Solar Technologies, explains why solar panels are just as beneficial in the winter as they are in the summer.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 18, 2019
Temperatures across the nation are dropping and dropping fast, and in many areas of the nation, temperatures are the lowest they've been at this same time of year in decades. So many are wondering, "What does this mean for the solar industry?"
Founder of Green Solar Technologies, Nicki Zvik, recently pointed out the positives of frigid weather when it comes to solar panels. He explained, "Even though we may be fighting frostbite this year, the colder weather is actually beneficial for solar panels, especially as our days get shorter. This is because solar panels are more efficient in colder temperatures, so what we lack in sunlight, we make up for in efficiency."
That being said, solar panels tend to work just as well in the winter as they do in the summer so home and business owners will never have to worry about creating enough electricity, and they can also continue to reap the financial benefits of solar year-round.
But beyond the colder weather, there are other concerns that arise in the winter months. One of them being the concern of snow blocking the sunlight from being absorbed by the solar panels.
"One of the great things about rooftop solar panels is that they're installed on an angle," shared Zvik. "This is to prevent debris like leaves and snow from collecting on the panels and preventing the sun to shine through them. And even if snow does collect a bit on the panels, it's very easy to clean off from the ground with the right tool. The angle is also optimal for sunlight absorption, so should there be cloudy winter days, the solar panels are able to soak up and store every bit of sunlight possible. So as it turns out, winter isn't so bad after all...at least when it comes to maintaining a functional and beneficial solar panel system."
Nicki Zvik is the founder of Green Solar Technologies and Spectrum Properties LLC.

"Seven years ago, we set out to change consumer behavior—and the world—by advocating for plants over plastic and compostable in the disposable tableware space," said Lauren, Gropper, founder and CEO. "Today, the consumer is more aware of the grave reality of climate change. She wants to do the right thing and seeks out sustainable options. Yet, it's easy to get overwhelmed or stuck in inaction. With Repurpose, we encourage small, everyday choices that can add up to big change," continued Gropper.
The new Repurpose packaging features modern graphic treatments that visually communicate the plants that make each product. A fresh palette incorporates blue and mint green with sunny yellow, pink and purple. The new logomark creates an iconic stamp for the brand. Playful messaging throughout reinforces a lighter-hearted tone and celebrates small changes such as, "Here for the Fun, Not Forever," "Toss the Plate, Not the Planet," and "Refills not Landfills." All packaging features the Repurpose mantra Plants Over Plastic.
"We are evolving the category and our branding beyond the traditional idea of green," said Corey Scholibo, co-founder and chief marketing officer. "At our core, we're an anti-plastic activist brand, but we use a positive, accessible approach to combat climate change, so consumers don't shut down. Now more than ever, it's vital to maintain a sense of humor and optimism. Why can't fighting climate change be fun?"
Repurpose creates the best-performing products using the greenest solutions available. In 2012, Repurpose launched their line of eco-friendly, single-use tableware as an alternative to traditional disposable products by brands such as Chinet, Dixie and Glad. Now, Repurpose products are available nationwide at more than 17,000 stores, including convenience and drug stores, groceries, and outdoor retailers such as Walmart, CVS, Whole Foods Market and Wegmans, among others.
Since inception, Repurpose has kept more than 3.5 million pounds of waste out of landfills, producing up to 82 percent fewer CO2 emissions and 65 percent less energy than plastic. Repurpose products replace plastics with a variety of plant fibers such as corn, beet, cassava and bamboo. Repurpose products are also a sustainable alternative to Styrofoam, paper, and other petroleum-based products. Repurpose plates and bowls are upcycled from two waste products, sugar cane pulp and wood scrap. Unlike traditional plastic or even paper items, Repurpose products are BPI certified and 100 percent compostable in an industrial composter in 180 days. This means they fully break down and can return to soil in a closed-loop system. Repurpose products are also BPA-free, chlorine-free, and made using vegetable-based inks. The packaging is recyclable, and also made with recyclable materials wherever possible.
Repurpose engaged Nashville-based Peck Design Associates, the agency best known for the rebrand of Halo Top Creamery, to lead design. The New Normal, a brand agency in Minneapolis, helped develop brand positioning.
"We believe in the work Repurpose is doing and know these products really are changing the world," said Benji Peck, founder and creative director, Peck Design Associates. "We are proud to partner with an activist brand tackling the big issues."
Repurpose was twice named to the Inc. 500 list of fastest-growing, private companies, in 2017 and 2018. Founder and CEO Gropper was included in the Inc. Magazine list of 100 Female Founders also in 2018. For more information, including a store locator, please visit repurpose.com.

Parenting Inside Out Phase II Provides Opportunity to Strengthen Connections Between Incarcerated Parents and Their Children

PORTLAND, ORE. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 18, 2019
After a year of development, this month The Pathfinder Network (TPN) began piloting its new parenting program, Parenting Inside Out (PIO) Phase II: Enhanced Visiting. An advanced skills development and parent-child visiting program for incarcerated parents, PIO Phase II builds upon the evidence-based Parenting Inside Out (PIO) curriculum and provides special focus on strengthening positive parenting practices through individual and group coaching on communication, connection and planning for life as a parent after release. With a strengths-based and holistic approach, the program supports incarcerated parents as well provides materials and resources for children and caregivers, all with the goal of enhancing the parent-child relationship, increasing positive family engagement and mitigating the impact of parental incarceration on children.
PIO Phase II is a pilot project made possible by a federal Second Chance Act grant from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention and a partnership with the Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC). Over the next two years, the pilot is projected to serve more than 140 incarcerated parents at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility and Santiam Correctional Institution, along with their children and caregivers of their children.
"We are committed to working together with the parents, caregivers, children and staff, as well as with our partners at DOC and the Department of Human Services, in order to provide opportunities for children to have healthy, structured and positive interactions with their parents," shared Milo Dittrich, TPN corrections program manager over seeing PIO Phase II. "When people are dealing with difficult things, we can meet them where they are to provide tangible support and walk alongside with them."
Once parents have completed PIO, they are eligible to apply for the PIO Phase II program, which provides advanced skill development of core PIO topics and includes lessons on communication with children, child centered parenting and nurturing children's individuality. Over the course of three months, parents participate in 30 hours of advanced skills development and practice workshops with trained TPN coaches, one-on-one coaching, monthly enhanced coached visits with their children, post-visit debrief sessions, and peer support groups. Additionally, coaches partner with parents to develop individualized parenting re-entry plans that include identifying relevant community-based services for ongoing support after they release. All parents and families who participate in the program are also invited to an annual family engagement event. The first two cohorts of the program consist of 12 mothers and fathers, and around 20 children ranging in age from infant to 17 and living across the state of Oregon and parts of Washington.
Unlike many existing programs currently available for incarcerated parents, a key component of PIO Phase II provides ongoing support and resources for children and caregivers, addressing the barriers that often prevent positive visiting experiences and building protective factors that reduce the social and emotional impact of having an incarcerated parent. Before visits, TPN coaches offer outreach to the families to develop a relationship and prepare children and caregivers for what to expect from the program. Coaches also provide developmentally specific support materials to children that mirror what the incarcerated parents are learning along with referrals to community resources when needed.
A portion of the grant award will fund transportation and lodging costs for caregivers and children traveling from far away, and efforts to increase contact through video calls and technology are underway. Additionally, PIO Phase II includes a trauma informed emotional intelligence training for visiting security staff in order to promote the creation of safer institutions and visiting spaces that allow for empowerment, growth and healing for the families.
"In Oregon alone there are 70,000 children who have had a parent in prison or jail—it is important for these kids to know they are loved and that their parents want to spend time with them," said TPN director of corrections programs Sheri Sandoval, citing a 2016 policy report by The Annie E. Casey Foundation. "PIO Phase II provides the opportunity to not only increase contact between children and their incarcerated parents, but to really support families throughout the process."
For more information, please visit https://www.thepathfindernetwork.org.
The Pathfinder Network is a 501 (c) (3) social service agency founded in 1993 with a mission to provide justice system-impacted individuals and families the tools and support they need to be safe and thrive in their communities. The Pathfinder Network provides cognitive-behavioral programs, parenting programs, education and support services for pro-social living to adults in the Oregon prison system and to children and families in the community.

American Consumer Credit Counseling provides six tips on how consumers can best navigate Black Friday and Cyber Monday

BOSTON (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 18, 2019
Some consumers love the thrill of shopping for deals on Black Friday with the crowds, while others prefer to enjoy Cyber Monday from the comfort of their home. Although Black Friday and Cyber Monday have some of the best deals of the holiday season, it is essential that consumers are realistic when spending. To help navigate the holiday shopping season, national nonprofit American Consumer Credit Counseling (ACCC) provides tips for shopping on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
"It is important for consumers to have a plan before approaching Black Friday and Cyber Monday," said Steve Trumble, President and CEO of American Consumer Credit Counseling. "Having a plan and knowing your budget helps consumers avoid the temptation to overspend. Take the time to do your research, make a list and only buy what you need."
According to a study by Finder, 86 percent of American consumers are planning to participate in Black Friday and Cyber Monday – 12 percent more than 2018. Although more consumers plan to shop, it is expected that overall spending will drop $3 billion from 2018.
ACCCC helps consumers have a successful Black Friday and Cyber Monday. 

1. Budget – All those impulse and "but it's just $2" purchases add up quickly. Consumers should budget before they hit the stores or the internet to ensure they don't dig themselves into a financial hole.

2. Research – Consumers should take the time to research products they know they want to purchase during Black Friday and Cyber Monday in advance and take note of the prices on a couple of different websites for the baseline price. As the discount announcements come out, go back to these websites, and see who is offering the best deal.

3. Return policies – Don't get caught up in the moment and get fooled by the deals. Consumers should ask about the return policy before making their purchase. Knowing this information comes in handy – especially when shopping for gifts for family or friends.

4. Hidden costs – Deals, mainly Cyber Monday deals, can look amazing until consumers start adding up the hidden costs, such as shipping, taxes, and other hidden fees to the total price. Consumers should read the fine print and review all charges before purchasing.

5. Compare and contrast – Many stores will offer price matching. Compare prices of the same product at several different retailers. If consumers find a better deal at another retailer, they should see if the store will offer a price match.

6. Get there early – Black Friday deals usually start early in the morning and can end as early as 10 am. The biggest and hottest items typically fly off the shelves quickly, so consumers should get there early so they don't miss out.

ACCC is a 501(c)3 organization that provides free credit counseling, bankruptcy counseling, and housing counseling to consumers nationwide in need of financial literacy education and money management. For more information, contact ACCC:

Company requests the issuance of a general exclusion order for patented collapsible straw

SANTA BARBARA, CALIF. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 18, 2019
Final, designer and manufacturer of FinalStraw, announced the institution of its patent infringement complaint by the International Trade Commission (ITC). Final is requesting the ITC to investigate and issue a general exclusion order (GEO), working to protect its flagship product from companies infringing upon its intellectual property rights. Final has named 17 respondents in its complaint, including foreign manufacturers, importers, and distributors.
Final's U.S. utility Patent No. 10,123,641 claims patented mechanisms for collapsing, cleaning, and storing of a reusable straw. Since its launch in April 2018, the innovative straw has wildly grown in popularity. As a result, knockoff products have flooded the U.S. market.
"The purpose of a FinalStraw is to reduce single-use plastic waste," said Emma Rose, CEO and Founder of Final. "Not only are knockoff straws infringing our intellectual property and degrading our brand, the knockoffs are defeating the entire mission of what we're trying to do as a company. They're cheap, break within minutes, and are made with little regard to the environment."
Final has a team dedicated to intellectual property enforcement and brand protection. To date more than 10,000 fraudulent product listings have been removed from various websites and online stores. Despite the regular enforcement efforts, there are still many more listings and products to tackle daily and it is not reasonable to sue each infringer individually, both domestically and internationally.
"We are very pleased that the ITC has agreed to investigate," said Kelly Frazier, who leads the intellectual property and brand protection efforts for Final. "Knockoffs are the name of the game these days and in an era of fast and direct online selling, circumvention of listing removals and seller information is extremely easy. With very few ways of efficiently stopping these infringing products, companies like Final must ask the ITC, and ultimately U.S. Customs and Border Protection, to fight the mass infiltration of knockoffs from abroad."
About Final:
The Final Co. LLC, DBA Final, launched FinalStraw, the world's first reusable, collapsible straw in 2018. Final is on a mission to create reusable, responsibly made products that reduce the need for single-use plastics, empower individuals to change their buying habits, and raise awareness about the impacts of our everyday decisions. Final is creating an entire line of Foreverables—convenient alternatives to single-use plastic. The next product the company plans to launch is FinalFork.

Most people assume it's just too expensive to live on a Caribbean island and don't give it another thought—but the Caribbean is bigger than many people realize. Look beyond the mass-market shores the tourist brochures describe to find a variety of affordable, sun-splashed islands well worth attention, detailed in a report by the editors at International Living.

BALTIMORE (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 19, 2019
"Mention the word 'Caribbean' and most people think of places like Aruba, the Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas, and other tourist-rich dollops of sand," says Dan Prescher, a senior editor at International Living.
"The region conjures well-deserved images of crystal-clear waters and white-sand beaches, and if you like sun and sand, these islands are great for a vacation. But the assumption is that they're way too expensive to actually move to. And that's too bad, because the Caribbean is bigger than many people realize."
International Living editors and correspondents have discovered that, beyond the popular shores the tourist brochures describe, there are a variety of sun-splashed islands well worth attention. They're not only beautiful... but a lot more affordable than most people think.
Belize, Honduras, Dominican Republic, Panama and Mexico all offer islands off their Caribbean coasts—islands that share the same turquoise-blue waters and powder-white beaches as more expensive Caribbean destinations and are much, much more affordable.
International Living editors have identified five of the best Caribbean islands that won't break the bank...and two that just might.
Ambergris Caye, Belize
English-speaking Ambergris Caye is the largest island in Belize at 25 miles long and a little over a mile wide, and San Pedro is its only town. About 30 years ago, Ambergris became a hotspot for divers and fishermen thanks to the Belize Barrier Reef, just a half-mile offshore. This natural wonderland of living coral supports a dizzying array of marine life, and it's the main reason Ambergris has seen its recent (and significant) growth.
Until just a few years ago, San Pedro was a little fishing village that catered to adventure tourists coming for the scuba-diving and deep-sea fishing. The main motorized transportation on Ambergris Caye at that time was golf carts (which remain popular, though there are many more cars on the island today). San Pedro is now the second-largest town in Belize District with more than 15,000 people, surpassed in size only by the former capital, Belize City.
Expats give up little living on Ambergris Caye. Power, water, cell phone coverage, and internet are reliable...and most necessities for daily living are readily available on the island. Regular water taxis and flights make it easy to take a quick shopping trip in Belize City, or Chetumal, Mexico. The selection of quality restaurants and bars is constantly expanding.
How much?
For between $2,700 and $2,900 per month, a couple can enjoy a comfortable retirement in Ambergris Caye—a budget that includes the cost of a house or apartment rental. Own your own home on the island outright and it's possible for a couple to live quite comfortably on less than $2,000 a month.
Roatan, Honduras
Roatán, one of the Bay Islands, has quietly graduated from secret divers' getaway to livable island haven. Just 50 square miles, this green, hilly island off Honduras' northern coast is long and skinny, fringed by a reef rich with sea life and garnished by white-sand beaches.
The beaches here are quiet and pristine. Life is laidback, lived in rhythm with the sun and the surf. No big-name resorts. No "spring break" strips. No high-rise developments. This is old-school Caribbean...though fitted out with modern conveniences. And English is commonly spoken.
This is an island where "normal" people can buy a vacation home or permanent digs to live out their sunny, low-cost, and comfortable retirement. The infrastructure is good and getting better all the time, with a new power plant online and the recent opening of a hospital with specialist care and a 24-hour emergency room.
How much?
Less than $175,000 buys a two-bedroom Caribbean home right on the water in a quiet neighborhood with no tourists. Life on an island is often more expensive than mainland living—almost everything has to be imported, after all. But relative to the rest of the Caribbean, Roatán offers excellent value.
The monthly cost of living for a couple, including rent, is $2,000 to $2,500.
Isla Mujeres, Mexico
Isla Mujeres is about eight miles from Cancún in Mexico, but this laidback island is a world away from the hustle and bustle of its more tourist-developed older sister. Before Cancún existed, Mexicans and a few adventurous foreigners went to Isla Mujeres for some of the best beaches and water sports in the world—diving for coral, swimming with dolphins, and sailing on a crystal blue sea.
The island enjoys a warm tropical climate (low to mid-80s F for most of the year) and a laidback vibe; golf carts are preferred to cars as the main means of transport.
How much?
Clear, azure waters and white-sand beaches are never far away, and the cost of living is far lower than a similar lifestyle would cost back in the States. A one-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse condo goes from $230,000, and a one-bedroom place rents for $700 to $1000 a month.
A couple can live a very nice life on Isla Mujeres for $2,500-$3,000 a month, including rent.
Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic
Columbus knew he was on to something good when he spotted a beautiful, coral-rimmed island in 1492. "This is the fairest land under heaven," the explorer is reported to have said. 
The Dominican Republic has great weather and world-class beaches, not to mention a low cost of living and a stable government—plus it's just three-and-a-half hours from New York.
The north coast of the island has some of the finest beaches in the Caribbean, the east coast is a sportsman's paradise with some of the newest designer golf courses in the region.
This isn't all-inclusive resort territory, and thanks to strict planning laws it should stay that way. The beach hotels here are small and family-run rather than sprawling, faceless chains. 
The beaches around Las Terrenas are some of the most pristine in the Dominican Republic.
How much?
The most incredible thing about it, though, is the real estate prices. A one-bedroom, one-bathroom loft apartment can be had for as little as $99,500.
A couple can live in this tropical haven for around $2,000 a month, although most choose to spend closer to $3,000 a month.
Isla Colon, Panama
Not many people know that Panama has its own tropical archipelagos. Set on the Caribbean coast, close to the border with Costa Rica, Bocas del Toro is a group of nine main islands and a few hundred smaller cayos and islets, dotting calm turquoise waters.
The main hub is bustling Bocas Town, on the large island of Isla Colon, which sits below the hurricane belt. It's a ramshackle seaside town of brightly painted buildings—many on stilts over the water. It's the home base for most visitors and where the majority of expats live.
Bocas, as it is known, is all about water. Water sports, fishing, and whale watching are just some of the popular pastimes for locals. The small city is tourist driven but with a laidback feel.
How much?
Depending on the lifestyle expats choose, a couple can live here on as little $1,400 a month, renting a simple, snug, island-style home. Bocas is home to a great deal of untitled or right of possession (ROP) property. It's best to rent and familiarize yourself with the unique landscape before contemplating a property purchase here.
Two to Avoid...Because Costs Are High
St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands
Located in the Caribbean, the U.S. Virgin Islands is made up of over 60 islands...most of them uninhabited. The three most populated, and most visited, are St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix. The U.S. Virgin Islands are an organized, unincorporated United States territory and their people are U.S. citizens.
St. Thomas is the island on which most of the population of the U.S. Virgin Island lives. It is also the most commercialized of the islands and a regular stopping off point for Caribbean cruise ships. This 30-square-mile island has jungle cliffs that soar high into the sky and the turquoise sea is dotted with yachts of all shapes and sizes. St. Thomas, and in particular the capital of Charlotte Amalie, can get overrun by tourists.
While St. Thomas may be a nice place to live, apartments rent for about $2,000 a month, and to buy a two-bedroom house in a good neighborhood will cost about $285,000-plus.
Grand Bahama Island, Bahamas
What do Nicolas Cage, Johnny Depp, Oprah Winfrey, Sean Connery, Bill Gates, and Tiger Woods have in common? Apart from being celebrities, they're among thousands of North Americans and Europeans who own second homes in the Bahamas.
Like other expats who live there for all or part of the year, these stars often think of the Bahamas as a paradise—an upscale group of islands with some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The Bahamas are friendly to newcomers, there's no foreign language to cope with, crime is relatively low, and the islands are positioned just off the Florida coast.
That's the good news. The bad news is that property on the islands usually isn't cheap. Medium-size residences in exclusive gated communities with ocean views often cost more than $2 million.
Grand Bahama Island has become a haven for beach-lovers as well as divers, fishermen, golfers, and sports enthusiasts of all kinds. It's also a prime destination for people who enjoy world-class shopping. But living here costs a premium as it's between 30% and 50% more expensive than in the U.S.

Pet Wants Chantilly is a mobile business that offers free, personal delivery to Oak Hill, Chantilly, South Riding, Centreville and Fairfax, as well as the rest of Northern Virginia.

CHANTILLY, VA. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 19, 2019
Carla and Matthew Mangone spent the last 15 years checking ingredient labels to protect their kids with food allergies. When they adopted their dog, Alli, they found themselves doing the same thing for her food and treats. What they found was discouraging – the products they were buying were full of fillers and preservatives. The Mangones' journey for a better option for Alli resulted in them choosing Pet Wants. Now the two are excited to be opening their own Pet Wants business in Chantilly.
Pet Wants' specially-crafted, private-label pet food formulas are made in small batches with fresh, natural ingredients enhanced with vitamins and minerals for a complete and balanced diet in every bowl. Pet Wants Chantilly has multiple blends of dog and cat food formulas as well as healing salve, calming balm, anti-itch spray, paw wax and more. Pet Wants Chantilly is a mobile business that offers free, personal delivery to Oak Hill, Chantilly, South Riding, Centreville and Fairfax, as well as the rest of Northern Virginia.
"We found Pet Wants while looking for better options for Alli, both because we weren't happy with the food we were buying and because she didn't like it either. She was a finicky eater and she'd only eat her dry food if we put wet food on top of it. When we brought home the first bag of Pet Wants Alli was jumping all over me. She scarfed down the Pet Wants food that first day and has done so every day since," Carla said. "When we saw the ingredients in Pet Wants' products – like the salmon treats that only included salmon – and we saw the immediate impact the food had on her fur and energy levels, as well as how much she liked it, we knew we wanted to open our own Pet Wants."
Pet Wants has a 100-percent, money-back guarantee on the freshness and quality of the food and the company only sources the best salmon, chicken, lamb, brown rice and other ingredients available. There's no sugar added, no fillers and no animal by-products and Pet Wants never uses corn, wheat, soy or dyes, which makes the food great for animals with allergies.
Carla and Matt live in Oak Hill with their three children, Nick, Peter and Caroline, as well as their rescue dog, Alli. They've lived in Northern Virginia for more than 25 years and they have strong ties to the community through their children's school and athletic activities. In addition to her work with Pet Wants, Carla owns and operates an allergy-friendly bakery. Matthew is a Credit Manager for a company in McLean, Va.
"Before we adopted Alli, we had no idea the ingredients in pet food were so complicated and the food you buy could have been sitting in a warehouse for a year before you brought it home. With Pet Wants, I know the food is fresh and I can go through every ingredient and tell you what it is and why it's in our food," Matthew said. "Alli is a big part of our lives – she's a member of our family – and we want to make sure she has the happiest, healthiest life possible. That starts with making sure she's getting the nutrition she needs and, with Pet Wants, there's no question. We're looking forward to meeting other pet families and helping them find the best products for their individual pets."

FARMINGTON, N.M. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 19, 2019
The Ford F-150 is the best-selling pickup truck in America — and for good reason. It offers robust engine options, a high-strength and durable body structure, off-road capabilities and high towing and payload capacities.

The Ford F-150 is highly capable on the towing front. When properly equipped, the 2019 F-150 can tow up to 13,200 pounds.

Additionally, with its traction-enhancing 4WD system, F-150 drivers can conquer the trails with ease.
The Ford F-150 delivers excellent performance with its powerful engine options. For the 2019 F-150, this includes the 3.3L V6 (290 horsepower; 265 pound-feet of torque), 2.7L EcoBoost V6 (325 horsepower; 400 pound-feet of torque), 5.0L V8 (395 horsepower; 400 pound-feet of torque), 3.5L EcoBoost V6 (375 horsepower; 470 pound-feet of torque), 3.0L Power Stroke V6 Diesel (250 horsepower; 440 pound-feet of torque) and the High Output 3.5L EcoBoost V6 (450 horsepower; 510 pound-feet of torque).

Most people assume it's just too expensive to live on a Caribbean island and don't give it another thought—but the Caribbean is bigger than many people realize. Look beyond the mass-market shores the tourist brochures describe to find a variety of affordable, sun-splashed islands well worth attention, detailed in a report by the editors at International Living.

BALTIMORE (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 19, 2019
"Mention the word 'Caribbean' and most people think of places like Aruba, the Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas, and other tourist-rich dollops of sand," says Dan Prescher, a senior editor at International Living.
"The region conjures well-deserved images of crystal-clear waters and white-sand beaches, and if you like sun and sand, these islands are great for a vacation. But the assumption is that they're way too expensive to actually move to. And that's too bad, because the Caribbean is bigger than many people realize."
International Living editors and correspondents have discovered that, beyond the popular shores the tourist brochures describe, there are a variety of sun-splashed islands well worth attention. They're not only beautiful... but a lot more affordable than most people think.
Belize, Honduras, Dominican Republic, Panama and Mexico all offer islands off their Caribbean coasts—islands that share the same turquoise-blue waters and powder-white beaches as more expensive Caribbean destinations and are much, much more affordable.
International Living editors have identified five of the best Caribbean islands that won't break the bank...and two that just might.
Ambergris Caye, Belize
English-speaking Ambergris Caye is the largest island in Belize at 25 miles long and a little over a mile wide, and San Pedro is its only town. About 30 years ago, Ambergris became a hotspot for divers and fishermen thanks to the Belize Barrier Reef, just a half-mile offshore. This natural wonderland of living coral supports a dizzying array of marine life, and it's the main reason Ambergris has seen its recent (and significant) growth.
Until just a few years ago, San Pedro was a little fishing village that catered to adventure tourists coming for the scuba-diving and deep-sea fishing. The main motorized transportation on Ambergris Caye at that time was golf carts (which remain popular, though there are many more cars on the island today). San Pedro is now the second-largest town in Belize District with more than 15,000 people, surpassed in size only by the former capital, Belize City.
Expats give up little living on Ambergris Caye. Power, water, cell phone coverage, and internet are reliable...and most necessities for daily living are readily available on the island. Regular water taxis and flights make it easy to take a quick shopping trip in Belize City, or Chetumal, Mexico. The selection of quality restaurants and bars is constantly expanding.
How much?
For between $2,700 and $2,900 per month, a couple can enjoy a comfortable retirement in Ambergris Caye—a budget that includes the cost of a house or apartment rental. Own your own home on the island outright and it's possible for a couple to live quite comfortably on less than $2,000 a month.
Roatan, Honduras
Roatán, one of the Bay Islands, has quietly graduated from secret divers' getaway to livable island haven. Just 50 square miles, this green, hilly island off Honduras' northern coast is long and skinny, fringed by a reef rich with sea life and garnished by white-sand beaches.
The beaches here are quiet and pristine. Life is laidback, lived in rhythm with the sun and the surf. No big-name resorts. No "spring break" strips. No high-rise developments. This is old-school Caribbean...though fitted out with modern conveniences. And English is commonly spoken.
This is an island where "normal" people can buy a vacation home or permanent digs to live out their sunny, low-cost, and comfortable retirement. The infrastructure is good and getting better all the time, with a new power plant online and the recent opening of a hospital with specialist care and a 24-hour emergency room.
How much?
Less than $175,000 buys a two-bedroom Caribbean home right on the water in a quiet neighborhood with no tourists. Life on an island is often more expensive than mainland living—almost everything has to be imported, after all. But relative to the rest of the Caribbean, Roatán offers excellent value.
The monthly cost of living for a couple, including rent, is $2,000 to $2,500.
Isla Mujeres, Mexico
Isla Mujeres is about eight miles from Cancún in Mexico, but this laidback island is a world away from the hustle and bustle of its more tourist-developed older sister. Before Cancún existed, Mexicans and a few adventurous foreigners went to Isla Mujeres for some of the best beaches and water sports in the world—diving for coral, swimming with dolphins, and sailing on a crystal blue sea.
The island enjoys a warm tropical climate (low to mid-80s F for most of the year) and a laidback vibe; golf carts are preferred to cars as the main means of transport.
How much?
Clear, azure waters and white-sand beaches are never far away, and the cost of living is far lower than a similar lifestyle would cost back in the States. A one-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse condo goes from $230,000, and a one-bedroom place rents for $700 to $1000 a month.
A couple can live a very nice life on Isla Mujeres for $2,500-$3,000 a month, including rent.
Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic
Columbus knew he was on to something good when he spotted a beautiful, coral-rimmed island in 1492. "This is the fairest land under heaven," the explorer is reported to have said. 
The Dominican Republic has great weather and world-class beaches, not to mention a low cost of living and a stable government—plus it's just three-and-a-half hours from New York.
The north coast of the island has some of the finest beaches in the Caribbean, the east coast is a sportsman's paradise with some of the newest designer golf courses in the region.
This isn't all-inclusive resort territory, and thanks to strict planning laws it should stay that way. The beach hotels here are small and family-run rather than sprawling, faceless chains. 
The beaches around Las Terrenas are some of the most pristine in the Dominican Republic.
How much?
The most incredible thing about it, though, is the real estate prices. A one-bedroom, one-bathroom loft apartment can be had for as little as $99,500.
A couple can live in this tropical haven for around $2,000 a month, although most choose to spend closer to $3,000 a month.
Isla Colon, Panama
Not many people know that Panama has its own tropical archipelagos. Set on the Caribbean coast, close to the border with Costa Rica, Bocas del Toro is a group of nine main islands and a few hundred smaller cayos and islets, dotting calm turquoise waters.
The main hub is bustling Bocas Town, on the large island of Isla Colon, which sits below the hurricane belt. It's a ramshackle seaside town of brightly painted buildings—many on stilts over the water. It's the home base for most visitors and where the majority of expats live.
Bocas, as it is known, is all about water. Water sports, fishing, and whale watching are just some of the popular pastimes for locals. The small city is tourist driven but with a laidback feel.
How much?
Depending on the lifestyle expats choose, a couple can live here on as little $1,400 a month, renting a simple, snug, island-style home. Bocas is home to a great deal of untitled or right of possession (ROP) property. It's best to rent and familiarize yourself with the unique landscape before contemplating a property purchase here.
Two to Avoid...Because Costs Are High
St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands
Located in the Caribbean, the U.S. Virgin Islands is made up of over 60 islands...most of them uninhabited. The three most populated, and most visited, are St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix. The U.S. Virgin Islands are an organized, unincorporated United States territory and their people are U.S. citizens.
St. Thomas is the island on which most of the population of the U.S. Virgin Island lives. It is also the most commercialized of the islands and a regular stopping off point for Caribbean cruise ships. This 30-square-mile island has jungle cliffs that soar high into the sky and the turquoise sea is dotted with yachts of all shapes and sizes. St. Thomas, and in particular the capital of Charlotte Amalie, can get overrun by tourists.
While St. Thomas may be a nice place to live, apartments rent for about $2,000 a month, and to buy a two-bedroom house in a good neighborhood will cost about $285,000-plus.
Grand Bahama Island, Bahamas
What do Nicolas Cage, Johnny Depp, Oprah Winfrey, Sean Connery, Bill Gates, and Tiger Woods have in common? Apart from being celebrities, they're among thousands of North Americans and Europeans who own second homes in the Bahamas.
Like other expats who live there for all or part of the year, these stars often think of the Bahamas as a paradise—an upscale group of islands with some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The Bahamas are friendly to newcomers, there's no foreign language to cope with, crime is relatively low, and the islands are positioned just off the Florida coast.
That's the good news. The bad news is that property on the islands usually isn't cheap. Medium-size residences in exclusive gated communities with ocean views often cost more than $2 million.
Grand Bahama Island has become a haven for beach-lovers as well as divers, fishermen, golfers, and sports enthusiasts of all kinds. It's also a prime destination for people who enjoy world-class shopping. But living here costs a premium as it's between 30% and 50% more expensive than in the U.S.

2019 is on track to be the first trillion-dollar holiday season – and 36% of surveyed shoppers will seek Black Friday deals on home décor.

HOUSTON (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 19, 2019
Blinds.com, the #1 online retailer of custom window treatments, reports Black Friday as their peak sales day, and this year is no exception. Dixie Dalton, one of Blinds.com's top design consultants, explains the open-and-shut benefits of ordering blinds and shades on Black Friday and why it's the best time to take advantage of deals on window treatments and other home décor in preparation for the holiday season.
"The reason eCommerce shopping is going to be so big this year is due to a shorter shopping season," Dalton says. "For the window coverings industry, this really lights a fire if you're getting your house ready for the holidays and want to change things up."
While overall spending is expected to grow by 3% to 4% this year, eCommerce spending is set to increase by up to 18% over last year. This may be due to a shorter shopping season this year – six days shorter, in fact. And shopping online is more convenient, faster, and gets delivered right to your front door – so window shopping can now be done right from the comfort of home. Current trends indicate many shoppers will start their holiday shopping earlier than usual.
Many of the best holiday sales will begin on or before Thanksgiving Day, November 28th, and end on Cyber Monday, December 2nd. These five days of savings, including Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, are referred to as the "Cyber Five."
While many Black Friday shoppers focus on TVs, electronics and clothing, the home décor category remains a best-kept-secret for amazing deals. According to eMarketer, 36% of surveyed shoppers indicate they'll seek deals on home décor items in addition to their other Black Friday purchases.
"The Blinds.com products that are going to be the most popular for Black Friday 2019 will no doubt be sheer shades and plantation shutters," Dalton points out. "You can tilt plantation shutters open and have complete access to your view, and both of these looks can be modern or traditional, depending on which direction you're taking your room." Dalton adds, "If you're thinking of upgrading in time for holiday guests, the timing is perfect as they hardly ever go on sale."
Of course, the guest room isn't the only thing shoppers are looking to refresh. In 2018, big-box retailers such as The Home Depot, Target, Walmart and Macy's offered furniture discounts of up to 80% off during the holiday season. Savvy shoppers will find terrific Black Friday deals on sofas, rugs, shelving, light fixtures and home accessories to create an inviting holiday atmosphere at a fraction of the cost.
Consumers seeking great savings will also find appetizing Black Friday deals on serving pieces, cutlery, and centerpiece decorations for a memorable holiday feast. Along with the cooking comes the cleanup – and smart shoppers can really clean up with incredible savings on popular household tools and appliances that let them spend more time entertaining guests and enjoying the holidays.
Dalton offers some useful Black Friday tips to make navigating the biggest sale day of the year a breeze. "Holidays are an excellent time to invest in window treatments because you'll get better deals and still have time to pull it all together before your guests arrive," she says. But she cautions, "Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to take the proper measurements and browse our wide selection of window treatments. Production and delivery can take a few weeks, so order during the Black Friday sale to ensure your new window treatments arrive before the December holiday season."
For those short on time who still want to get their home and guest room ready with beautiful new window treatments, Blinds.com features a Professional Measure and Install service that covers it all, from measuring for the perfect fit to professional installation. A licensed technician from The Home Depot will come to your home and do all the hard work. This top-notch service is a valuable time saver for busy people whose to-do lists don't include tackling a DIY project before their guests roll into town.
Preparing for the holidays is hectic enough. This season, retailers like Blinds.com are stepping things up with incredible Black Friday savings on everything shoppers want and need to escape the crowds, skip the long lines, and make more time for family and friends – for a stress-free holiday season.

Curriculum chair of the Fordham Real Estate Institute recognized by The Counselors of Real Estate for his outstanding contributions to the industry

NEW YORK (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 19, 2019
The Fordham Real Estate Institute (REI) is pleased to announce that special advisor and curriculum chair Hugh F. Kelly, Ph.D., CRE, has been named the 2019 Laundauer/White Award Recipient by The Counselors of Real Estate. The award, the highest honor conferred by The Counselors of Real Estate, was bestowed upon Kelly at the organization's Annual Conference in Nashville earlier this month.
Kelly joined Fordham REI at its inception in 2017 as special advisor, and expanded his role to curriculum chair. In addition, he heads his own consulting practice, Hugh F. Kelly Real Estate Economics. Prior to 2001, he served as chief economist for Landauer Associates, one of the nation's most prominent commercial property consulting firms. His portfolio of work includes the economic study that led to the East Brooklyn Congregation's "Nehemiah Program", which has built over 5,000 homes in the most impoverished neighborhoods of Brooklyn and Queens; the site selection study which located the Saturn automobile plant for General Motors; the "Cities of Tomorrow" study which enabled Lend-Lease (Australia) to purchase the $4 billion+ investment portfolio of Equitable Real Estate Investors; and expert testimony in various phases of the rebuilding of New York's World Trade Center after the 9/11 terrorism catastrophe.
Kelly is a member of the Counselors of Real Estate, and served as its Board Chair in 2014. He has published more than 300 articles in industry and academic journals and his book, "24-hour Cities: Performance Beyond Promises" (Routledge, 2016) received the Bruss "Gold Award" from the National Association of Real Estate Editors in 2017. He is also the primary author of the annual Emerging Trends in Real Estate, published by the Urban Land Institute and PwC. This publication is required reading for many real estate investment firms. He also writes a quarterly economics column for Commercial Property Executive, which he has done since 2011.
During her remarks, Julie L. Melander, chair of the board, Counselors of Real Estate, highlighted Kelly's success throughout his career, including starting as a temp at Landauer Associates and eventually becoming its chief economist, as well as the impact he has made on the industry as well as his family and community.
"He has a way of combining sophisticated economic analysis with pragmatic real estate fundamentals, all while integrating pop culture, music and sports into his compelling presentations. He takes time to listen carefully and, while not shy about challenging flawed logic, is even quicker to point out the values and strengths others are adding to the conversation," Melander said. "He is a case study on left brain, right brain convergence, bringing real life and personality to economic theories."
The Landauer/White Award is presented annually to an individual who has furthered the ideals of The Counselors of Real Estate—integrity, competence, community, trust and selflessness—and who has demonstrated both outstanding professionalism in real estate and a notable influence civically. It is awarded to an individual who is viewed by their peers as a recognized leader of real estate who has contributed significantly to his/her community and/or the world around them.
The award was established in 1986 as a memorial to honor CRE James Landauer for his instrumental role in establishing The Counselors of Real Estate. In 1997, the award was renamed the James D. Landauer/John R. White Award, to honor another high-profile professional, John Robert White, who served as a long-term chairman of the Landauer Company as well as President of The Counselors of Real Estate in 1969.
"I had the privilege of knowing both Jim Landauer and John White, which makes this recognition that much more meaningful to me," said Kelly. "It is truly an honor to be associated with them as well as with prior recipients."
ABOUT THE FORDHAM REAL ESTATE INSTITUTE 
The Fordham Real Estate Institute (REI) currently offers a Master of Science in Real Estate (MSRE), graduate certificates in real estate finance, development and construction management, and a comprehensive array of professional certificates in real estate and construction at its campuses in Manhattan and West Harrison, N.Y.

Berry Grower Announces Partnership with Guayabito Farms in Ventura County

OXNARD, CALIF. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 19, 2019
Reiter Affiliated Companies (RAC), the largest fresh multi-berry producer, announces a new partnership with Guayabito Farms. The Candelario family in Ventura County will lead the operations of Guayabito Farms.
The partnership RAC formerly had with El Dorado will be closing, but the Candelario family will keep the same acre profile under a new partnership known as Guayabito Farms. The same staff will manage the operations, and the Candelario family are leading this business to continue their father's legacy.
The family chose "Guayabito" as the company name in honor of their late father, Humberto Candelario, as this was the name of his beloved ranch in Mexico. Evelin Candelario and Anthony Bibian will be running the operations of the company. Cindy Candelario will be involved as well, while continuing with her current role as Food Safety Manager, Southern District at RAC.
As a family-owned farming company, RAC is dedicated to providing strong resources and support for the success of each of their valued partners. Through this new partnership, RAC looks forward to continue fostering their long-standing relationship with the Candelario family.

HARLOTTE, N.C. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 19, 2019
WORX engineers really might not be elves, but they sure have provided Santa with some exciting new tool gifts to leave under the tree this year. Imagine the spontaneous smiles and wows that will erupt when a do-it-yourselfer unwraps an innovative WORX 3-in-1 TRIVAC Blower/Mulcher/Vac, WORX 20V Hydroshot with 4.0 Ah Battery or WORX 20V Axis Reciprocating and Jig Saw.
For example, the redesigned WORX TRIVAC has an articulating motor that allows one-touch, tool-free conversion from blower to mulcher/vac. This means blowing, mulching, and vacuuming functions all use the same wide-mouth, circular tube. To switch from blower to mulcher/vac, the user simply turns a switch and connects a 1.4 bushel collection bag.
TRIVAC has two-speeds with a maximum of 600 cubic feet per minute (cfm). At low speed, the blower's sweeping action is great for clearing sidewalks, driveways, entryways, patios and decks, while high speed moves large volumes of leaves.
The 12-amp blower/mulcher/vac has a single-stage metal impeller to shred leaves and twigs to a 16:1 ratio. In other words, a single bag of leaves and twigs collected and shredded by TRIVAC is equivalent to16 bags of unmulched leaves filled by hand.
The combination vac is well-balanced and easy to use. It weighs only 8.8 lbs. in blower mode and 9.5 lbs. in vac mode due to the weight of the collection bag.
WORX TRIVAC 3-in-1 Blower/Mulcher/Vac (WG512, $99.99) is available at worx.com and Amazon. It is covered by the WORX three-year limited warranty.
The new WORX 20V, 4.0 Ah Power Share Hydroshot Portable Power Cleaner combines a hi-tech brushless motor with a long-lasting MAX lithium battery to make quick work of outdoor cleaning chores.
This cordless cleaning tool's brushless motor features electronic power distribution, which extends battery run time up to 50 percent over standard brushed motors. With no brushes that need replacement, the motor is maintenance-free. As part of the WORX 20V Power Share Program, Hydroshot's removable battery is compatible with more than 25 other WORX lawn and garden and DIY tools.
Weighing only 5.5 lbs., the pump-driven Hydroshot delivers up to 350 psi water pressure. That's six times more water pressure than a standard garden hose. 
By rotating the multi-spray nozzle, five spray patterns can be selected: 0 degrees, 15 degrees, 25 degrees, 40 degrees and shower. Hydroshot is a water miser, using only 0.92 gallons per minutre (gpm).
Hydroshot connects to a garden hose or can draw fresh water through a 20 ft., accessory hose (included) from lakes, rivers, pools or buckets. An adjustable float on the accessory hose acts as a bobber to keep the intake from reaching sandy or muddy bottoms. The portable power cleaner also connects to most 2-liter bottles with a 1 in. opening through a bottle cap connector (provided) for simple, on-the-go cleaning where water may not be available.
WORX 20V, 4.0 Ah Power Share Hydroshot Portable Power Cleaner (WG630, $199.99) includes a 20V, 4.0 Ah, MAX lithium battery; 20V, 2 hr. charger; 20 ft. hose accessory; pressure cleaning wand; bottle cap connector; multi-spray nozzle; and quick-connect adapter. It's available at worx.com and Amazon and is covered by the WORX three-year limited warranty.
WORX Axis is two saws in one. This versatile cutting tool functions as a jigsaw, and with the push of a button, converts into a compact reciprocating saw. Its 20V MAX lithium battery can be shared with other 20V WORX DIY and lawn and garden tools.
Weighing only 4 lbs., Axis uses standard reciprocating saw and T-shank jigsaw blades available at hardware stores and home centers. A wide choice of blade types enable Axis to cut wood, PVC, plastic, fiberglass, aluminum, copper, mild steel and more.
Axis operates at 3,000 strokes-per-minute (spm). An orange switch on top of the saw allows a choice of reciprocating or orbital blade action. Orbital provides aggressive cutting, while reciprocating allows more controlled cutting efficiency. Axis also features a built-in blower to remove dust and debris, as well as an LED light for cutting visibility.
Included with the saw are a 20V MAX lithium battery, charger, one reciprocating saw blade (wood) and three jigsaw blades (wood, metal and aluminum).
WORX Axis Reciprocating and Jig Saw (WX550L, $89.99) is available at worx.com and online retailers, including Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart and Amazon. It comes with a three-year warranty.

California Newcomer Lotus Nutrients is Leading the Way

SANTA ROSA, CALIF. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 19, 2019
Liquid nutrients have reigned supreme in the home grow market for a long time; however growers in the commercial space have been transitioning to powdered nutrients because of the cost-effectiveness and ease of use, and home growers have begun to follow suit as well. Due to the difficulty in combining essential macro and micronutrients, most nutrient companies package them separately, forcing a grower to buy as many as a dozen separate products in order to obtain all of the nutrients cannabis plants need throughout their lifecycle. Liquid nutrient programs can often be complicated and bulky, due mostly to the abundance of plain water included in every mix.
A relative newcomer in the nutrient market, Lotus Nutrients blends all the essential nutrients into a simple three-part system formulated by medical growers and specifically designed for medicinal plants. Their water-soluble powdered nutrients are quickly becoming a preferred choice for commercial agriculture and a great solution for new home growers, and work in both hydroponic and soil growth environments.
Lotus Nutrients was founded by a team of Northern California growers, scientists, and horticulturists with decades of cultivation experience. Frustrated with the glut of overly complicated liquid nutrients on the market, they united with one goal—to create the benchmark for pure medicinal-grade plant nutrients. Specially formulated for medicinal plants, Lotus Nutrients are comprised of 15 unique, raw, natural ingredients including 13 essential macro and microelements as well as raw materials in seaweed plant extract, humalite, and plant protein hydrolysate.
Lotus Pro Series Nutrients feature a simplified 3-part powder-based formula that promises to outperform any 8, 9 or 10 part liquid recipe. The naturally formulated recipe is also dust-free, 100 percent water-soluble, dye-free and anti-caking, with no fillers.
Lotus Grow aids in producing thick stems, tight internodal spacing, dense canopy development, and massive roots, while Bloom is designed to trigger rapid on-set of flowering by providing plants with all necessary components needed for strong development. Finally, Boost is the turbo-charged secret weapon that leads to unsurpassed size and density of flowers while maximizing oil production for increased potency and taste.
Lotus powdered nutrients are absolutely something to consider for commercial facilities, and something retailers should be stocking on their shelves. While liquid nutrients have dominated the market for a considerable time, they can be needlessly bulky and complicated, and growers are getting tired of spending money on nutrient systems that are largely made up of plain ol' water.
Available online at lotusnutrients.com and at hundreds of retailers nationwide, Lotus Nutrients was scientifically developed by Northern California growers with decades of medicinal plant cultivation experience. Specifically formulated for medicinal plants and comprised of 15 unique raw, natural ingredients including 13 essential macro and microelements, Lotus Nutrients are 100 percent water-soluble formula milled and blended to provide perfect consistency while containing no binders, fillers or dyes.

Innovative Tarzana dentist Dr. Kaveh Kanani offers patients in Southern California looking to perfect their smiles the option to receive painless, drill-less dental implants. Dr. Kanani's groundbreaking painless dental implants method allows patients with missing teeth to regain up to 100 percent of their natural chewing and biting ability while feeling happier and more confident with their smiles.

TARZANA, CALIF. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 19, 2019
Patients with missing teeth in Tarzana, CA, and all of Southern California, can get their smiles back at Dr. Kaveh Kanani's Around the Corner Dental Spathrough his painless, drill-less dental implants method. Dental implants succeed at providing patients with a more stable, comfortable, and permanent new smile and solution to missing teeth. Dr. Kanani's innovative dental implants method is also more affordable and less time-consuming for his patients, often leading to quicker recovery times and less pain in the long run.
"It's an exciting time to be performing dental implants," said Dr. Kanani. "The more traditional way of doing dental implants requires more cutting into the teeth, which leads to more pain and longer recovery time. Painless, drill-less dental implantsallow patients to get their smiles back quicker, with less pain in the long run."
Dental implants are one of the most sought-after forms of cosmetic dentistry in dental offices across the world. Dr. Kanani is transforming the way that dentists and patients approach dental implant surgery with his inventive painless, drill-less dental implants, which utilizes a method Dr. Kanani calls bone expansion to make room for the implant. This Tarzana dentist's painless, drill-less dental implants method is reducing the cost, pain, and recovery time that is often associated with traditional methods of dental implant surgery.
How Does Dr. Kanani's Painless, Drill-Less Dental Implants Method Work? 
Tarzana dentist Dr. Kanani's painless, drill-less dental implants method works by first condensing the outer bone into a thicker wall that creates more support for the dental implant. The innovative dentist calls this method his Flap-Less/Drill-Less Surgery technique. Dr. Kanani then uses a series of dental equipment to expand the jawbone. Once a small gap is formed, Dr. Kanani inserts the titanium dental implant into it. Dr. Kanani then places the dental implants into the hole and sutures it closed. The healing process takes just a short couple of months. For more traditional dental implant surgery, it can often take a patient over a year to recover.
Tarzana dentist Dr. Kanani's method for dental implants is innovative as he has successfully engineered a way to insert dental implants without the need for drilling into the jawbone to cut the gum open. The lack of drilling guarantees that the patient will have a much shorter, less painful hearing period. Additionally, Dr. Kanani's method can save patients up to thousands of dollars when compared to the more traditional dental implants method.
Those interested in Dr. Kanani's painless, drill-less dental implants method in Tarzana, CA, and Southern California can contact Dr. Kanani by calling 818-962-1141 or visiting http://www.woodlandhillsdentalspa.com.
About Dr. Kaveh Kanani 
Dr. Kaveh Kanani's Tarzana dental practice offers targeted dental care for patients in Greater Los Angeles and Southern California. Dr. Kanani and his team provide their patients with the latest in dental technology in a comfortable, eco-friendly environment. In addition to his painless, drill-less dental implants method, Dr. Kanani offers a variety of services, including cosmetic dentistry services, sedation dentistry, root canal, pinhole surgery, and more.

Users of Automated Locker Solution See 17 Percent Increase in Deliveries Year Over Year

BOSTON (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 19, 2019
Today, Package Concierge, the trusted provider of automated locker solutions, is unveiling new insights about multifamily package deliveries in 2019 as part of its first-ever, Total Package Report, an ongoing analysis of transactions and trends. The report, which analyzed properties with 215-235 units from Q1 to Q3 2019, finds the average building is managing nearly 70 package transactions every day, a 17 percent increase year over year. This summer's Amazon Prime Day deliveries resulted in a 10.6 increase since Prime Day 2018.
"The multifamily industry has reached a tipping point for managing the overwhelming number of packages properties receive today, particularly during the busiest shipping season of the year," said Georgianna W. Oliver, founder of Package Concierge. "Package volume continues to increase and is only getting higher, with record numbers of package transactions during the busiest seasons. It is imperative that property owners deploy high-quality, locker systems to ensure the safety and security of their packages, while mitigating clutter in their buildings."
This holiday season, online and other non-store sales are predicted to grow 14 percent, according to the National Retail Federation. Package Concierge processed more than three million transactions during the 2018 holiday season (half a million in just one week in December) - a more than 18 percent increase over the previous year.
"The amount of packages we receive is growing by the day, and without Package Concierge to help us alleviate the congestion and coordination, managing shipments would be a full-time role for our on-site staff especially in November and December," said Rudy Gonzalez, General Manager of Riverbank, New York property and a Bozzuto Management Company. "Because of the ease of use of the Package Concierge automated locker system, our team can focus on providing residents with better customer service, while also ensuring we're delivering an innovative way to manage and protect their packages."
The new report also found residents take an average of more than 22 hours to retrieve packages- which is down about nine percent compared to 2018, when tenants took more than a day to claim their packages.
Package Concierge has processed over 46.7MM transactions at 1,856 properties, and nearly half a million users. The adoption rate for its system is close to 80 percent for those who sign-up to use the Package Concierge app and services.

In light of a recent Offer in Compromise program launched by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, the tax relief experts at Platinum Tax Defenders are committing to helping clients determine whether they may be eligible for an Offer in Compromise settlement.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 19, 2019
A recent announcement by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration stated that a new online screening tool has been launched to help taxpayers determine if they're eligible for an Offer in Compromise settlement. Following this news, the tax relief experts at Platinum Tax Defenders have announced they are making appointments available for those California taxpayers wishing to determine if they're eligible for this tax program provided by the IRS. The CDTFA's Offer in Compromise option helps taxpayers quickly determine if they may qualify for the benefit. The tax relief experts at Platinum Tax Defenders have years of assisting clients in getting out of tax debt through Offer in Compromise programs. They are making themselves available to help those individuals in need as the 2020 tax season approaches.
"The Offer in Compromise tax relief program is for those individuals who will not have, in the foreseeable future, the ability to pay their tax liability in full," said Sherri Gastelum, CEO of Platinum Tax Defenders. "We understand that there are many individuals, especially in California, who are struggling to settle their back taxes. We're grateful that the CDTFA has launched this online tool to help individuals determine their eligibility, and we want to help them take that next step if they want to apply for an Offer in Compromise."
What is an Offer in Compromise? 
An Offer in Compromise is a tax relief program set forth by the IRS that makes it possible for taxpayers to settle their tax debt for much less than they owe. The tax relief experts at Platinum Tax Defenders have successfully gotten their clients' tax debt down from over $100,000 to just $100 utilizing the Offer in Compromise program.
Who is eligible for an Offer in Compromise? 
There are several factors that the IRS takes into consideration when determining if someone will be eligible for an Offer in Compromise. The IRS will look at: 
whether the individual is in an open bankruptcy proceeding 
if they've filed their federal tax returns and made the estimated tax payments 
if they are self-employed and have employees if they've submitted all required federal tax deposits.
The new Offer in Compromise options will help California taxpayers determine their estimated payment option based on the information they provide. However, the tax relief experts at Platinum Tax Defenders remind California taxpayers that what comes with filing for Offer in Compromises is often a game of negotiation with the IRS. While it's helpful to know what the likelihood will be of being granted an Offer in Compromise before you apply for one, the negotiation process often requires direct dealings with the IRS. The tax relief experts at Platinum Tax Defenders have years of experience negotiating with the IRS and encourage those seeking to apply for relief to contact them to set up a free consultation.
About Platinum Tax Defenders 
The tax relief experts at Platinum Tax Defenders have been helping U.S. taxpayers get out of debt since 2011. The team at Platinum is made up of experienced enrolled agents, certified public accountants, and tax attorneys, many of whom once worked directly for the IRS. Platinum Tax Defenders has years of experience helping taxpayers successfully negotiate Offer in Compromises to help settle back taxes.

The successor to the BAT-LTE takes smart home security to the next level with home automation and Sunset-solving CAT-M1 cellular

ST. PAUL, MINN. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 19, 2019
Alula, the leader in smart security and automation systems for professional installers, has received the 2019 IoT integration award for the BAT-Connect, marking the fourth major industry award for the innovative communicator.
The award was bestowed by industry-leading trade publications CE Pro, Commercial Integrator and Security Sales & Integration during the Total Tech Summit earlier this month, which recognizes technologies and products with breakthrough connectivity and interoperability features for the Internet of Things.
"Internet-enabled electronic devices and systems are flooding the marketplace, and security is no exception," said Scott Goldfine, editor-in-chief of Security Sales & Integration. "This awards program is unique and exciting in that it salutes those products that are taking the convergence of connected physical and logical security to the next level."
The BAT-Connect is the successor to the widely-adopted BAT-LTE Communicator, adding home automation capabilities as well as a Cat-M1 cellular, a low-power, low-data technology that maximizes efficiency and offers enhanced coverage for better reach into challenging locations. Cat-M1 is also compatible with 5G, meaning devices won't be rendered obsolete by the cellular sunset.
This latest award is the fourth time BAT-Connect has been honored this year for innovation. Previous awards include: 

Security Industry Association (SIA) New Product Showcase Award: In Las Vegas at ISC West 2019, Alula's BAT-Connect was recognized for best new product in the Residential and Monitoring Solutions category. Since its inception in 1979, the SIA New Product Showcase has been the security industry's premier awards-based marketing program. In 2019, the 30 judges reviewed over 95 entries from more than 80 companies, presenting awards for technologies covering more than 30 product and service categories.

Electronic Security Expo Innovation Award: At the 2019 ESX show, Alula was awarded the Innovation Award in the Intrusion Systems Category for BAT-Connect. This award recognizes outstanding products and services that drive the electronic security and life-safety industry forward.

Security Today New Product of the Year Award: This award honors the outstanding product development achievements of security equipment manufacturers whose products are considered to be particularly noteworthy in their ability to improve security. Alula's BAT-Connect Communicator won in the Intrusion Detection & Prevention Solutions category. Winners received awards and were recognized at GSX in September in Chicago.

"We're blown away by the immediate interest, rapid adoption and support for the BAT-Connect Communicator," said Brian McLaughlin, CEO at Alula. "Security dealers are demanding trusted products that allow them to address the ever-evolving smart home security space. Aging installations can cost dealers money to support, limit new revenue opportunities and become a liability when old cellular networks no longer support the innovation that homeowners expect today. With the simple-to-install BAT-Connect, security dealers have an easy upgrade for the nearly 15 million compatible security systems online today."

National Home Improvement Expert, Danny Lipford, reaches a major milestone for his Emmy-nominated TV show, "Today's Homeowner," with the debut of its 500th episode this week. The episode, titled "Bath Revival," showcases a 1970's bathroom renovation.

MOBILE, ALA. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 19, 2019
"Today's Homeowner with Danny Lipford," the nationally syndicated TV show now in its 22nd broadcast season, will debut its 500th episode this week. What started as a small regional television show in 1998 has grown significantly over the past 21 years in both reach and audience. Founded in 1998, "Today's Homeowner" debuted in 68 markets. Today, the show airs in 207 of the 210 Nielsen markets covering 90% of the U.S. It is the highest-rated nationally syndicated home improvement show in the country, reaching 2.1 million weekly viewers.
Homeowners tune in each week to watch host and namesake of the show, Danny Lipford, and his co-host and daughter, Chelsea Lipford Wolf, help real people tackle real projects in their homes. The father-daughter team offers expert guidance and advice to everyday homeowners, empowering them to make improvements they would never attempt on their own.
"It's the best feeling when Chelsea and I can walk away at the end of a project, and know that we've helped someone with a problem, shared a handy tip, or given them some inspiration for their next project," said Lipford. "We've delivered practical, quality home improvement advice on our show for 22 years now. We're so grateful that our audience keeps coming back to watch week after week, so we honor them by staying true to our mission."
The 500th episode, titled "Bath Revival," will air nationwide this week. (Check local listings for details). The episode follows couple Ronnie & Cindy McCarson and the renovation of their 1970's style bathroom. Lipford and Wolf help the couple raise the bathroom vanity, reface cabinets and install new ceramic flooring and lighting to give the bath a stylish, modern look.
Lipford began his television career in 1988 with a local cable show titled, "Better Living." At the time, Lipford was growing his remodeling business, Lipford Construction, and he felt the live call-in show was a great marketing tool. He produced and hosted 104 shows from 1988-1990.
In 1990, Lipford started a new show called "Remodeling Today," and began taking camera crews out on his remodeling job sites. The show was very successful, giving homeowners a "peek behind the curtain" to better understand the world of contracting and home improvement. Lipford hosted "Remodeling Today" for eight seasons, producing 208 episodes.
1998 brought another major change in Lipford's television career – a partnership with "Today's Homeowner" magazine. Wanting to expand its media footprint into broadcast, the magazine joined forces with Lipford and launched the "Today's Homeowner with Danny Lipford" television show. Over time, the focus of the show shifted toward smaller home improvement projects and involving the homeowners in the actual work.
Lipford used his television show to form the cornerstone for his own media company, Today's Homeowner Media, which is the most diverse home improvement media company in the industry today. Over the years he's added a national radio show, also titled "Today's Homeowner;" a Podcast; a destination website, TodaysHomeowner.com; an award-winning web series and blog hosted by his daughter, "Checking In With Chelsea;" influencer media events, and video production services.
Viewers can visit TodaysHomeowner.com/find-a-station to locate their local affiliate and airtime. Previous seasons of "Today's Homeowner" are available for streaming on the brand's website, TodaysHomeowner.com/Watch, and on Amazon Prime Video.

Key New NEPC Review Takeaway: Brief ignores the potential harms of in-school advertising and provides little useful guidance for officials considering a substantive reworking of regulations.

BOULDER, COLO. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 19, 2019
The Empire Center recently released a brief making the persuasive legal case that current policy and legal guidance from state education officials in New York severely restricts the ability of school districts to allow any form of commercial advertising. Because of this, the brief argues, it is more difficult than it should be for these districts to raise revenues from advertising, sponsorships, and naming rights deals.
Professor William S. Koski of Stanford Law School reviewed Commercial Cash: How NY Schools Can Raise Extra Money Without Raising Taxes, and found that while the brief provides a solid analysis of the legal and regulatory restrictions on commercial activities in schools, it addresses only the revenue half of the equation and leaves out crucial information.
The unexplored half, Professor Koski explains, includes the significant costs of commercial advertising in schools, including the potential psychological, health-related, educational, and privacy harms stemming from corporate advertising and targeted digital marketing. The brief ignores substantial scholarly and empirical literature that has detailed the harms of advertising and media messaging on children generally and the harms from advertising in schools specifically.
Beyond these potential harms, the brief may overstate the economic benefits of these deals because it does not consider either the costs of negotiating and administering these contracts or the potential of diminished donor and taxpayer support.
While the brief's call for the New York legislature to revisit and revise policy governing advertising in schools is timely and appropriate, Professor Koski concludes that it provides little useful guidance for officials considering a substantive reworking of regulations.
