MILWAUKEE (PRWEB) MARCH 07, 2021
Author Eric Folds points to historical evidence of Jesus Christ's resurrection to assure readers that their lives matter in The Shroud of Turin and Historical Proof of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ: The Existential Crisis and the Gospel Message ($15.99, paperback, 9781662811258; $7.99, e-book, 9781662811265).
150,000 hours of research on an ancient relic provide scientific evidence of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Folds takes this proof of the resurrection as historical fact and uses it to help people see God's purpose in their lives.
"This book provides hope for all in an existential crisis through understanding the meaning and purpose for their existence, God's eternal plan and purpose for individuals, and the in-depth theology of atonement which brings man into a relationship with a loving God," said Folds.
Eric Folds is the pastor of The Christian Church of God, Inc. and the dean of Christian University and Theological Seminary. The author of numerous books, he also works with members of the homeless community suffering from trauma. He and his wife Kimberly share two sons, Gabriel and Joshua.

GRANBY, COLO. (PRWEB) MARCH 06, 2021
As communities are opening up to visitors, there's no better time to check out what's new in Grand County. From new lodging options and restaurants to a shaggy new four-legged friend who's taking up residence at local ranch, there is plenty of explore in Grand County. Here's what's new and notable for the spring, organized by town.
Grand Lake
Kaiyote Tours explores RMNP
There are plenty of opportunities to explore Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) on your own but if you're looking for a more in-depth experience, a guided tour is the way to go. Kaiyote Tours was founded by Kaiyote Snow, a self-taught naturalist, award-winning photographer and artist and former instructor for the Rocky Mountain Conservancy. She and her company lead will get visitors off the beaten path for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing tours in the winter and hiking and over-night backpacking trips in the summer to learn about birding and wildlife in RMNP.
Mystic Mountain Mushrooms sprouts in Grand Lake
If you're not a fanatic about fungi, perhaps you should be. Mystic Mountain Mushrooms, located on a sacred hill near Grand Lake, not only cultivates certified organic mushrooms but also educates guests and customers about health benefit of each type and more. Sign up for the educational organic mushroom tour to learn how incorporating mushrooms into your diet is not only beneficial for your health, but for the environment as well. During each 45-minute tour, guests learn the life cycle of a mushroom, the history of mushroom cultivation, types of mushrooms and their health benefits, and more.

Granby
Headwaters Hostel offers up comfy, communal living
Hostels are not as prevalent in the U.S. as they are overseas but they're popping up in more and more resort towns in Colorado. Opened in Sept. 2020, the new Headwaters Hostel is the only year-round hostel available in Grand County and mixes a cabin-like interior with a hipster atmosphere and plenty of communal space. With COVID restrictions, the hostel can host eight to 10 people a night and the beds, which sit in shared rooms, cost $40 nightly. There is also a private room available for up to three people at $80 to $100 a night.
Fraser
New Taco Truck serves up traditional, untraditional treats
There's never a bad time for tacos and Shreddy's Tacos, a new food truck parked next to Fraser River Beer Co., is delivering "traditional, untraditional" eats. The menu of street tacos include carne asada, al pastor and nopales, also known as cactus, as well as breakfast versions. In addition to tacos, the menu includes finger foods like chips, fries, churro bites and homemade horchata.
Winter Park
France and India meet at new fine dining restaurant
It's a unique combination but the new Namaste India restaurant blends the French culinary tradition with co-owners Sachin Sawant and Ricky Biswas's Indian heritage at this new Winter Park restaurant (it opened in early November 2020). As the name suggests, the restaurant serves authentic Indian food, but also offers traditional French dishes and specialized tasting menus in both cuisines. Everything is made from scratch and both dine-in and take-out options are available.
Sundowner Motel becomes newest Gravity Haus location
The former Sundowner Motel on US Highway 40 will soon become the latest Gravity Haus location (there are currently) properties in Breckenridge and Vail. The new 38-room hotel will feature a restaurant, a coworking space, a cafe and a gym and will be within walking distance of Lift bus stops. Though Gravity Haus is a membership-based business, the hotel and its amenities will be open to the public. The property is slated to open in summer 2021.
Kremmling
Latigo Ranch isn't yakking around
Forget visiting Nepal or Tibet - Kremmling now has yaks. On July 3, 2020 Latigo Ranch had a special delivery: nine glorious, shaggy yaks. The herd included four cows, two calves and three yearling heifers. And on the next day, July 4, one last special delivery arrived—baby Liberty was born. The yak herd is the newest addition to this family owned and operated dude ranch and so far they've been a huge, hairy hit with guests.

SCANTrivia gamification proves seamless integration once the event industry decided to go virtual during pandemic.

COLUMBUS, OHIO (PRWEB) MARCH 06, 2021
SCANTrivia, a popular virtual event gamification platform, has been helping drive engagement at virtual conferences and other events since the height of the pandemic in April of last year. Engagement has been a major challenge for events pivoting to virtual over the past 12 months, and SCANTrivia has leveraged its expertise in this area to support planners when they need it the most.
"We were fortunate that our platform was already set up for virtual gamification," mentioned Sean Fields, Director of Business Development for SCANVenger Hunt. "Once the industry decided to move toward virtual conference solutions, the integration was seamless."
The gamification platform, which has historically been used at in-person events, works by simply using participants' smartphone cameras to scan codes throughout the event and direct them to the associated questions, so there is no need for any additional downloads. It seamlessly integrates with virtual event platforms and can be used for all types of events.
Event organizers can work with speakers, sponsors, and exhibitors to incorporate QR codes throughout their virtual environment and award points to attendees for participating and answering questions.
Tina Mercardo, Meetings & Events Director at NAFA Fleet Management Association, experienced the power of SCANTrivia first-hand when NAFA implemented SCANTrivia for their annual event, which took place online in 2020. The gamification tool replaced their lead retrieval system, they saw great results.
"Of the almost 1,000 attendees who registered, we got 20% to participate in SCANTrivia, and that's huge for a first-time program for us," she shared. "They had about 5,500 engagement points — either they answered a question or clicked on a link — and that accounted for 25% of our total expo hall engagements."
Another benefit of SCANTrivia virtual gamification is the post-event reporting, which includes metrics such as how many clicks an exhibitor's video received and is essential to proving event ROI.
"They were really excited because it's a measurable metric in a virtual conference environment, and exhibitors aren't used to how you measure ROI in the virtual world yet," noted Mercardo.
The SCANTrivia team works to support planners every step of the way, ensuring that they get as much value as possible when organizing and executing their events.
As both a virtual and an in-person offering, SCANTrivia is fully capable of supporting both event formats and also provides the flexibility needed to connect hybrid audiences as the events industry moves towards an uncertain future.

Today, AppTweak is the leading ASO tool supporting more than 1500+ mobile leaders in various industries worldwide including Jam City, Yelp, Amazon Music and more. Phiture, a Berlin-based mobile growth agency founded in 2016, conceived the industry-leading Mobile Growth Stack and ASO Stack frameworks, helping numerous tier-one brands overcome key growth challenges and crack the mobile arena.

Since the ASO book continues to be a relevant resource, even years later, there was the need to update the book with the ever-moving landscape. With the support of AppTweak as a main contributor, a new edition of the ASO book will be released in the first half of 2021.
ASO Conference
Inspired by the knowledge shared in the ASO Stack Slack channel (a slack community created by Phiture), the App Store Optimization Conference was born.

Astrapi awarded a contract for its advanced "Symbol Waveform Hopping" capability.

DALLAS (PRWEB) MARCH 08, 2021
Astrapi Corporation has been awarded its second Phase I SBIR contract from the United States Air Force. This is in addition to a USAF Agility Prime STTR Phase I also recently awarded to Astrapi.
The new contract, awarded through AFVentures, is based on Astrapi's advanced signal protection capability, Symbol Waveform Hopping (SWH). Astrapi recently completed the competitive Catalyst Cyber Space program, sponsored by the Air Force Research Lab/Space Vehicles directorate, with admission based upon Air Force interest in SWH.
Recent interest coincides with issuance of Astrapi U.S. Patent No. 10,931,403, "Communications Devices, Systems, Software and Methods Employing Symbol Waveform Hopping".
Symbol Waveform Hopping (SWH) is a new physical-layer Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) communication technology. It is like frequency hopping (FH), but in the time domain instead of the frequency domain. Unlike FH, SWH is theoretically secure. Unlike encryption, SWH has no latency or power overhead. SWH is secure against any amount of conventional or quantum computing, because the challenge it poses is not computational complexity; SWH is protected by resolution against the noise floor.
SWH has broad application across multiple sectors. This technology represents a major derivative advancement of Astrapi's Spiral Modulation capability. Astrapi continues to make foundational improvements at the core physical layer of the communications stack.
Dr. Jerrold Prothero, Founder and CEO of Astrapi Corporation, stated "Symbol Waveform Hopping is a transformative capability for signal protection. No other technology can fully protect a signal with the latency and power efficiency of Symbol Waveform Hopping. And, looking forward, it is fully secure against quantum computers. Symbol Waveform Hopping is equivalent to forcing potential signal interceptors to recognize an image that is smaller than their pixel size. No amount of computation can improve resolution."
Symbol Waveform Hopping exploits the huge symbol waveform design space that is characteristic of Astrapi's patented Spiral Modulation technology. Astrapi developed the use of Polynomial Symbol Waveform (PSW) alphabets, in which each short message ("symbol") corresponds to a particular bandlimited polynomial. By creating many PSW alphabets, SWH enables switching between PSW alphabets in a pseudo-random process known only to the sender and intended receiver.
ABOUT Astrapi Corporation
Astrapi is the pioneer of Spiral Modulation, which opens an unexplored area for innovation at the core of telecommunications. Currently Astrapi has thirteen US patents issued, with more pending and with corresponding international patent coverage. Based on a generalization of Euler's formula, the foundational mathematics for telecommunications, Astrapi provides fundamentally new ways to optimize the use of the spectrum. By applying this new mathematics to signal modulation, Astrapi is able to improve the trade-off between the four fundamental parameters in telecommunications: bandwidth, signal power, data throughput, and error rate. The resulting efficiency translates into higher spectral performance with more bits available at a lower cost. Derivative technologies support unique capabilities for Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) communication and in-the-field measurement of real-world nonstationary spectra.

ABOUT AFWERX
Established in 2017, AFWERX is a product of the U.S. Air Force, directly envisioned by former Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson. Her vision of AFWERX — to solve some of the toughest challenges that the Air Force faces through innovation and collaboration amongst our nation's top subject matter experts.

WILMINGTON, DEL. (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020


DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences (DuPont) has announced a new enzyme solution for adjunct liquefaction: AMYLEX® 6T. The innovative enzyme enables numerous business gains for breweries and distilleries alike including the ability to expand into new segments with locally-sourced raw materials, improve productivity, maximize yield, ensure consistent quality and ultimately increase profitability.


“Every brewer faces unique challenges that can have significant impacts on brewing processes ranging from climatic conditions to variations in raw material availability and quality,” said Jens Eiken, global product manager, Brewing & Distilling Enzymes, DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences. “Our enzymes help breweries adapt to various barriers, while maximizing efficiency, consistency and quality in every brew. For distillers, the emphasis is on continuous process improvement and higher productivity, yet the advantages are similar to those for breweries.”


AMYLEX® 6T is the latest enzyme to meet the mark, precisely engineered with a high proportion of endo-alpha-amylase-activity to specifically target viscosity reduction, even for tannin-rich raw materials like sorghum which de-risks process issues. For brewers using 100% corn, it offers an even higher extract yield.


This novel solution also requires very low dosage, delivering 20% lower peak viscosity than the benchmark, up to 20% shorter liquefaction time at a very broad pH range (from pH 4.8 to 6.0) and a a higher-than-normal “first time right,” reducing the risk of costly production re-runs and wasted product. This enables potential for higher profits, additional opportunities for brewers to get creative with their brews and for distilleries to improve performance.


“Of course, the correct dosage of AMYLEX® 6T varies according to local conditions, adjunct type, water-to-grist ratio and brewing protocols,” added Eiken. “But its trial performance has been outstanding; we’ve experienced a significantly higher extract yield with a lower dosage of AMYLEX® 6T, as compared to the benchmark.”

JACKSONVILLE, FLA. (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020

[/size][size=78%]Forcura, a healthcare technology company that enables safer patient care transitions along the care continuum, announces that it plans to create 115 jobs in Jacksonville by the end of 2022. The company will receive taxpayer-backed incentives from the City and State to expand its staff and maintain Jacksonville as its corporate headquarters. The Jacksonville City Council unanimously approved the economic development agreement in March as Project Graph.[/size]


“Congratulations to Forcura on their selection of Jacksonville for their new corporate headquarters,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “Florida continues to be a leader in economic opportunity and innovation because of our business-friendly environment and talent pipeline. Companies like Forcura recognize this because they are confident they have opportunities for growth.”


“I am proud to join my colleagues in City Council to support this project and thank Forcura and their leadership team for committing to Jacksonville,” said Mayor Lenny Curry. “This investment will bring 115 high-skilled jobs to our city and increase Jacksonville’s prominence as a hub for innovation and technology in the healthcare sector.”


Forcura was founded in Jacksonville in 2012 by Craig Mandeville, who started the cloud-based software company to modernize documentation, workflows and secure communications for post-acute health care providers. The company has since expanded into data and analytics and expects to offer workflow automation products powered by artificial intelligence this year. It currently employs 73 people in Jacksonville.


“Our company’s mission to empower better patient care actually started in 2012 when I observed my wife’s frustrations in transferring paperwork between Mayo Clinic’s Jacksonville campus and her home health employer. I knew technology would radically improve the process,” said Forcura’s Mandeville. “Our company’s origins are here in Jacksonville, and in the eight years since, the city has provided incredible talent, mentoring and business community support that have directly impacted our success. I am sincerely dedicated to elevating Jacksonville’s profile as a technology hub, and am excited to make sure more people recognize our city as the best place for entrepreneurs to launch and scale their companies.”


To accommodate its rapidly expanding business, Forcura also plans to open its new 30,000 square foot headquarters at 10151 Deerwood Park Boulevard sometime this fall, depending on when COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. Connie Turner Interiors has been contracted to design a full floor buildout. The company plans to invest $2.15 million in improvements and equipment and make the office a reflection of its dynamic employee culture.


“I am pleased to take part in today’s exciting announcement with Forcura and the addition of 115 new jobs to the Jacksonville community,” said Jamal Sowell, Florida Secretary of Commerce and President & CEO of Enterprise Florida, Inc. “We appreciate all the men and women working to improve the health of Floridians and look forward to Forcura’s continued success here in Florida.”


“Forcura is an example of an innovative, local company that’s taken off here and is choosing to continue to grow here in Jacksonville,” said JAXUSA President Aundra Wallace. “We’re growing an innovation ecosystem here and homegrown businesses like Forcura are incredible ambassadors for our community as we look to attract and grow tech investment and talent.”

RESTON, VA. AND BEAVER, PA. (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
Trucker Tools LLC announced today that Beemac Logistics has deployed several of Trucker Tools’ cloud-based applications and tools, and is leveraging the company’s mobile driver app to streamline communications and interactions with truckload operators.


Beemac, which uses McLeod’s PowerBroker as its core transportation management system (TMS), has integrated its TMS with two complementary Trucker Tools offerings, and is using the company’s industry-leading mobile driver app to improve carrier tracking compliance and accuracy. The current deployment includes:


Real-Time Shipment Tracking: Beemac brokers and shippers gain near-instant visibility to truckload moves in transit. Utilizing the Trucker Tools mobile driver app, and the embedded GPS features of the driver’s smartphone, automated shipment location updates are transmitted as frequently as every 5 minutes. Truckers moving Beemac loads can set tracking updates automatically, relieving them of manual calls and texts seeking shipment status. Updates are sent directly into Beemac’s TMS, where they can be viewed by Beemac’s customer service agents, as well as by shippers. The visibility app also provides updated ETAs and facilitates simple, direct communication with drivers.


Digital Document Management: Truckers often struggle to get critical shipping documents to brokers and shippers in a timely and complete manner. With Trucker Tools digital document management, drivers, using their smartphone, can scan key documents and transmit them electronically, where they flow directly into Beemac’s TMS. This helps speed transaction processing and accelerates payment. In addition, since the transaction takes place over a secure, private, closed-loop network, truckers are protected against fraudulent activity such as “double-brokering.”


Partnering with Trucker Tools was consistent with Beemac’s overall technology strategy, which emphasizes cost-effective technologies that can boost efficiency, improve data quality and timeliness, and provide differentiated capability enabling Beemac to stand out from the competition â€" and with its carriers, explained Michael Ceravolo, Beemac’s chief commercial officer.


“Trucker Tools had the functionality we wanted,” Ceravolo said. “It’s a proven platform, enjoys deep support both from brokers and carriers, and with the integration tools already built and available with McLeod, it was a no-nonsense plug and play deployment.”


“When you can acquire cutting-edge third-party technology that is proven and already has wide market adoption, and complements existing capabilities, it’s pretty much a slam-dunk decision,” he noted. “Trucker Tools support team was phenomenal, they delivered on their commitments and now our operating team, customers and carriers are reaping the benefits.”


He added that the Trucker Tools mobile driver app, with its automated processes, simple, intuitive workflows, and a multitude of 17 driver-focused features and functions, was the largest differentiator.


“As the market has shifted and shippers demand more and more real-time tracking, truckers don’t want to download multiple apps that only do one thing,” said Ceravolo. “When we polled our network the Trucker Tools app stood out as preferred because of its ease of use, and the many features that make drivers more efficient and life on the road easier for them. That’s critical and will become even more so as capacity tightens.”

As the rainy season approaches, keeping up with routine and preventative maintenance could not be more important. Fixing small leaks, minor equipment malfunctions, and low priority repairs seems easy for facility managers to put off but doing so could result in costly and inconvenient repairs. During this challenging time of the year, MaintenX urges facility managers to schedule their comprehensive preventative maintenance visits to ensure those small issues do not turn into large ones.


Preventative maintenance focuses on keeping equipment running as efficiently as possible and resolving small problems ensures that the larger issues are avoided. It requires persistence and dedication to schedule maintenance, but the end result is cost savings and uninterrupted business operation.


It isn't just major machinery that benefits from preventative maintenance; all important systems, from HVAC to plumbing, will work more efficiently over a longer lifespan if small problems are fixed as they happen. It takes a skilled technician to properly maintain those systems; one who attends to detail and understands equipment well enough to diagnose issues that might elude a less-skilled professional.


"Our self-performing technicians have seen it all," said MaintenX VP of Business Development Bill Schaphorst. "Our technicians, due to their experience and facility maintenance skill set, are able to quickly check all critical building systems, find potential issues and ensure resolutions. The end result is that major problems are avoided."


Based in Tampa, MaintenX knows how damaging heavy rain can be â€" from thunderstorms to hurricanes, their technicians have seen it all. From rust to flooding, facilities need to be hardened against weather, and the best way to do that is to perform thorough preventative maintenance before the rainy season starts. MaintenX also launched a Waterproofing Division early last year, ensuring their self-performing technicians can offer facility managers a complete exterior envelope waterproofing system in the state of Florida.

FREDERICK, MD. (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020


Caity Byrne, award-winning balloon artist and owner of Frederick Balloon Co., is on a mission to spread hope throughout her community- with balloons.


When the global pandemic left the world in an uncertain state, Byrne turned to the best cure she knows- balloons. This year, Frederick County’s public school system won’t hold the ceremony hundreds of students and parents have looked forward to for years. They won’t have the large party celebrating their milestone achievement. But that doesn’t mean they can’t have a great photo to mark the momentous occasion of graduating, whether from college or high school. On Sunday, May 31, they can do it free of charge.


This weekend The Frederick Balloon Company will install an arch at the suspension bridge along Carroll Creek. The 50-foot balloon structure will offer graduates and their families a chance for a picture paying homage to their achievement in 2020 while maintaining a social distance and enjoying a re-emerging downtown Frederick.


With over a decade of experience in large-scale balloon installations, putting together a display to encompass the many community students was an obvious choice.


“These students have worked so hard toward this achievement. For years, they have looked forward to a moment that won’t happen in the way they envisioned. We wanted to give them a wow moment to remember,” says Byrne. “Working with the Downtown Partnership and the Department of Parks and Recreation was an easy choice. This is our way of saying thank you to the community for their support of small businesses, and a true congratulations to students in the area.”


Byrne is no stranger to decorating Carroll Creek. For years, her company has provided balloon décor at the annual Pride festival. In fact, her 2019 display won a coveted Floatee, a balloon industry award!


Byrne runs a balloon décor business based in Frederick, MD, and with her sole remaining staff member will build an arch encompassing hundreds of biodegradable latex balloons as well as 4-foot foil numbers and graduation elements. Caity has been a Certified Balloon Artist since 2013, and has decorated at the White House twice. She has also taught at numerous industry conventions.


“This small token of appreciation I can offer the world with this labor of love for my community is rewarding in indescribable ways. It’s sustenance for my mind, body and artistic spirit.”

New enzyme helps breweries and distilleries meet liquefaction challenges, satisfy consumer demand for locally-sourced ingredients and improve profitability

WILMINGTON, DEL. (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences (DuPont) has announced a new enzyme solution for adjunct liquefaction: AMYLEX 6T. The innovative enzyme enables numerous business gains for breweries and distilleries alike including the ability to expand into new segments with locally-sourced raw materials, improve productivity, maximize yield, ensure consistent quality and ultimately increase profitability.
"Every brewer faces unique challenges that can have significant impacts on brewing processes ranging from climatic conditions to variations in raw material availability and quality," said Jens Eiken, global product manager, Brewing & Distilling Enzymes, DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences. "Our enzymes help breweries adapt to various barriers, while maximizing efficiency, consistency and quality in every brew. For distillers, the emphasis is on continuous process improvement and higher productivity, yet the advantages are similar to those for breweries."
AMYLEX 6T is the latest enzyme to meet the mark, precisely engineered with a high proportion of endo-alpha-amylase-activity to specifically target viscosity reduction, even for tannin-rich raw materials like sorghum which de-risks process issues. For brewers using 100% corn, it offers an even higher extract yield.
This novel solution also requires very low dosage, delivering 20% lower peak viscosity than the benchmark, up to 20% shorter liquefaction time at a very broad pH range (from pH 4.8 to 6.0) and a a higher-than-normal "first time right," reducing the risk of costly production re-runs and wasted product. This enables potential for higher profits, additional opportunities for brewers to get creative with their brews and for distilleries to improve performance.
"Of course, the correct dosage of AMYLEX 6T varies according to local conditions, adjunct type, water-to-grist ratio and brewing protocols," added Eiken. "But its trial performance has been outstanding; we've experienced a significantly higher extract yield with a lower dosage of AMYLEX 6T, as compared to the benchmark."

Jacksonville City Council Unanimously Approved the Deal as Project Graph

JACKSONVILLE, FLA. (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
Forcura, a healthcare technology company that enables safer patient care transitions along the care continuum, announces that it plans to create 115 jobs in Jacksonville by the end of 2022. The company will receive taxpayer-backed incentives from the City and State to expand its staff and maintain Jacksonville as its corporate headquarters. The Jacksonville City Council unanimously approved the economic development agreement in March as Project Graph.
"Congratulations to Forcura on their selection of Jacksonville for their new corporate headquarters," said Governor Ron DeSantis. "Florida continues to be a leader in economic opportunity and innovation because of our business-friendly environment and talent pipeline. Companies like Forcura recognize this because they are confident they have opportunities for growth."
"I am proud to join my colleagues in City Council to support this project and thank Forcura and their leadership team for committing to Jacksonville," said Mayor Lenny Curry. "This investment will bring 115 high-skilled jobs to our city and increase Jacksonville's prominence as a hub for innovation and technology in the healthcare sector."
Forcura was founded in Jacksonville in 2012 by Craig Mandeville, who started the cloud-based software company to modernize documentation, workflows and secure communications for post-acute health care providers. The company has since expanded into data and analytics and expects to offer workflow automation products powered by artificial intelligence this year. It currently employs 73 people in Jacksonville.
"Our company's mission to empower better patient care actually started in 2012 when I observed my wife's frustrations in transferring paperwork between Mayo Clinic's Jacksonville campus and her home health employer. I knew technology would radically improve the process," said Forcura's Mandeville. "Our company's origins are here in Jacksonville, and in the eight years since, the city has provided incredible talent, mentoring and business community support that have directly impacted our success. I am sincerely dedicated to elevating Jacksonville's profile as a technology hub, and am excited to make sure more people recognize our city as the best place for entrepreneurs to launch and scale their companies."
To accommodate its rapidly expanding business, Forcura also plans to open its new 30,000 square foot headquarters at 10151 Deerwood Park Boulevard sometime this fall, depending on when COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. Connie Turner Interiors has been contracted to design a full floor buildout. The company plans to invest $2.15 million in improvements and equipment and make the office a reflection of its dynamic employee culture.
"I am pleased to take part in today's exciting announcement with Forcura and the addition of 115 new jobs to the Jacksonville community," said Jamal Sowell, Florida Secretary of Commerce and President & CEO of Enterprise Florida, Inc. "We appreciate all the men and women working to improve the health of Floridians and look forward to Forcura's continued success here in Florida."
"Forcura is an example of an innovative, local company that's taken off here and is choosing to continue to grow here in Jacksonville," said JAXUSA President Aundra Wallace. "We're growing an innovation ecosystem here and homegrown businesses like Forcura are incredible ambassadors for our community as we look to attract and grow tech investment and talent."

Company enhances efficiency, reduces costs, increases timeliness and quality of shipment in-transit data with real-time, app-based GPS load tracking. Leverages industry-leading Trucker Tools mobile driver app to improve carrier support and engagement, communication and collaboration.

RESTON, VA. AND BEAVER, PA. (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
Trucker Tools LLC announced today that Beemac Logistics has deployed several of Trucker Tools' cloud-based applications and tools, and is leveraging the company's mobile driver app to streamline communications and interactions with truckload operators.
Beemac, which uses McLeod's PowerBroker as its core transportation management system (TMS), has integrated its TMS with two complementary Trucker Tools offerings, and is using the company's industry-leading mobile driver app to improve carrier tracking compliance and accuracy. The current deployment includes:

Real-Time Shipment Tracking: Beemac brokers and shippers gain near-instant visibility to truckload moves in transit. Utilizing the Trucker Tools mobile driver app, and the embedded GPS features of the driver's smartphone, automated shipment location updates are transmitted as frequently as every 5 minutes. Truckers moving Beemac loads can set tracking updates automatically, relieving them of manual calls and texts seeking shipment status. Updates are sent directly into Beemac's TMS, where they can be viewed by Beemac's customer service agents, as well as by shippers. The visibility app also provides updated ETAs and facilitates simple, direct communication with drivers.

Digital Document Management: Truckers often struggle to get critical shipping documents to brokers and shippers in a timely and complete manner. With Trucker Tools digital document management, drivers, using their smartphone, can scan key documents and transmit them electronically, where they flow directly into Beemac's TMS. This helps speed transaction processing and accelerates payment. In addition, since the transaction takes place over a secure, private, closed-loop network, truckers are protected against fraudulent activity such as "double-brokering."

Partnering with Trucker Tools was consistent with Beemac's overall technology strategy, which emphasizes cost-effective technologies that can boost efficiency, improve data quality and timeliness, and provide differentiated capability enabling Beemac to stand out from the competition – and with its carriers, explained Michael Ceravolo, Beemac's chief commercial officer.
"Trucker Tools had the functionality we wanted," Ceravolo said. "It's a proven platform, enjoys deep support both from brokers and carriers, and with the integration tools already built and available with McLeod, it was a no-nonsense plug and play deployment."
"When you can acquire cutting-edge third-party technology that is proven and already has wide market adoption, and complements existing capabilities, it's pretty much a slam-dunk decision," he noted. "Trucker Tools support team was phenomenal, they delivered on their commitments and now our operating team, customers and carriers are reaping the benefits."
He added that the Trucker Tools mobile driver app, with its automated processes, simple, intuitive workflows, and a multitude of 17 driver-focused features and functions, was the largest differentiator.
"As the market has shifted and shippers demand more and more real-time tracking, truckers don't want to download multiple apps that only do one thing," said Ceravolo. "When we polled our network the Trucker Tools app stood out as preferred because of its ease of use, and the many features that make drivers more efficient and life on the road easier for them. That's critical and will become even more so as capacity tightens."
Beaver, PA-based Beemac Logistics is a premier, multi-modal full-service transportation and logistics provider. The company provides purpose-designed, cost-effective transportation management solutions for customers throughout North America, partnering with over 25,000 independent carriers. Reston, VA-based Trucker Tools provides real-time shipment visibility, predictive freight-matching, automated booking, and carrier relationship management software tools for freight brokers and small-fleet truckload carriers.
The Trucker Tools mobile driver app has been downloaded by some 900,000 independent truckers and is actively used by nearly 140,000 small-fleet operators, who typically mange 10 trucks or less. This segment represents some 90 percent of truckload carriers in the market.
"We are excited to join Beemac as a key strategic technology partner," said Prasad Gollapalli, founder and chief executive of Trucker Tools. "It's a great fit of both culture and vision. We are focused on being innovative and responsive in support of Beemac's mission, goals and objectives to profitably grow their business and create enduring value for their customers."
About Beemac Logistics: Founded in 1984, Beemac Logistics (a Beemac Inc. Company) serves more than 14,000 customers across a range of industries including industrial manufacturing, automotive, oil and gas, consumer products, food, and agriculture. The company handles thousands of loads per month across all major freight modes including flatbed, van, refrigerated, rail, barge, ocean and air. Beemac provides cost effective solutions to transportation and logistics challenges throughout North America by partnering with more than 25,000 carrier partners.

Forbes 30 Under 30 AI Startup Closes Series A to Advance Customer Expansion and Development of their Adaptive NLP and Forecasting Platform

NEW YORK (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
Artificial Intelligence (AI) start-up Accern announced today the closing of a $13 million Series A funding round to expand its customer base and further develop its no-code AI platform that drives organization-wide efficiency. Fusion Fund led the Series A round for the four-year-old startup. Mighty Capital, Allianz Life Ventures, Vectr Fintech Partners and Viaduct Ventures also participated, along with angel investors from a previous round.
Founded by Forbes 30 Under 30 alumni Kumesh Aroomoogan, a founding member of the Forbes Finance Council, and Anshul Vikram Pandey, Ph.D., an award-winning data-science researcher, Accern's AI Platform contains ready-made solutions for the financial service industry across asset management, banking and insurance. Powered by adaptive learning, Accern allows enterprises to build powerful workflow automation and risk management solutions for investment research, credit lending, financial crimes (KYC) and reputational risks, among others.
"Organizations could lose customers, financial gains and their reputations when they are lagging behind on technology innovation. Accern enables enterprises to increase efficiency by deploying our AI solutions at scale within our no-code AI platform," says Aroomoogan. "This round allows us to further democratize AI within enterprises and serve more customers across asset management, banking and now, insurance and fintech."
Created for developers, data scientists and business analysts, Accern's no-code platform allows users to build and deploy AI solutions in minutes. The seamless, data-driven platform brings together an integrated data store, AutoML taxonomy capabilities, adaptive NLP and forecasting models, and multiple integrations to import and export solutions.
"Every organization wants to use the immense volume of unstructured data that they have on hand for competitive advantage. Data scientists and R&D leaders are charged with helping their organizations make this happen, but they cannot waste time recreating the same basic code over-and-over again. Accern's no-code user interface (UI) creates AI solutions with a few clicks, enabling data scientists to rapidly create models and turn them into actionable solutions for the enterprise," says Pandey. "Our adaptive NLP and forecasting models are able to learn from past actions and provide intelligent recommendations going forward which is very useful for credit and insurance underwriting, portfolio risk, fraud detection, and more. Now teams are able to share their works, integrations, models, taxonomies and more across the enterprise to be leveraged in other use cases, significantly reducing the amount of re-work, and therefore time, that goes into every solution."
In the two years since its $1M+ seed round, Accern has expanded its solutions to reach banking and insurance while growing its team within New York City. Accern's technology can be tailored by industry. Its clients and strategic partners include Allianz, Jefferies, IBM, Google, and Microsoft. Currently, Accern's technology is being considered in conversations on Capitol Hill as a potential solution to predict the spread and financial impact of the Novel Coronavirus, COVID-19.
"Fusion Fund is excited to join the Accern team. There is a great potential of applying the AI technology to improve the efficiency in the finance industry and discover the true value of the data. Accern has one of the best products and teams in the industry for this endeavor," said Lu Zhang, of Fusion Fund, and a member of Accern's Board. "We are excited to help accelerate the company for its next stage of partnership and market expansion."
Along with Forbes 30 Under 30 in the 2018 Enterprise Technology category, Accern has been recognized as a top Text Parsing Tool by JP Morgan. The company has also been named among the top 10 AI Software by O'Reilly and Intel AI and top 10 Data Analysis Tools by Benzinga.
"The consistent growth Accern has driven since we initially met the startup is impressive," said Emily Reitan with Allianz Life Ventures, a customer-turned-investor of the budding startup. "Their innovation and success speak for itself, and we are thrilled to be a part of the company's growth moving forward."
This is the second equity-financing round Accern has closed since its formation in 2016, with $14.5M raised to date.
About Accern
Accern accelerates AI workflows for enterprises with a no-code development platform. The best data teams from some of the world's leading organizations, such as Allianz, IBM, and Jefferies, are using Accern to build and deploy AI solutions powered by our adaptive NLP and forecasting features.

Westwind Integrated Health offers patients two options to receive high-quality medical and dental care: in-person visits at their state-of-the-art practices across Phoenix, AZ or telemedicine and teledentistry services that connect patients with a qualified clinician online. Improving their safety and sanitation guidelines, this team encourages those in need of medical or dental treatment to receive the care they need in order to protect their overall health and immune system.

PHOENIX, AZ (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
Westwind Integrated Health, a renowned practice offering medical and dental care from one multi-specialty team, is now fully reopened and welcoming patients for everything from emergency treatments to routine care. In an effort to boost the immune system of their community, they are encouraging current and existing patients to receive the care they need from a team they can trust. All nine Westwind Integrated Health locations across the Phoenix, AZ area are open for patients' convenience. In addition to in-person care, they have also made telemedicine and teledentistry a possibility so patients can speak with a professional without leaving the house. Taking new measures to ensure the safety of their patients and their staff during the COVID-19 pandemic, Westwind Integrated Health continues to be a trusted source for comprehensive healthcare in the greater Phoenix area.
Oral health is the cornerstone of overall systemic health. As a result, Westwind Integrated Health takes a unique approach to care. Instead of treating a symptom, they find its root cause and resolve it. Untreated dental concerns including gum infection and inflammation have been shown to spread throughout the body leading to harmful systemic conditions like cardiovascular disease and a weakened immune system. For this reason Westwind Integrated Health, determined to improve both dentistry and healthcare, took a revolutionary approach by integrating the two together.
Each of the nine locations across the Phoenix area has both a dental specialist and a medical clinician on staff. When coming in for a dental concern or routine cleaning, patients are also screened for medical conditions. Only visiting one office for comprehensive care is a benefit now, more than ever. Patients are able to group their appointments with their dentist and their general physician on the same day to maintain a healthy mouth and a healthy life.
Westwind Integrated Health has been in the forefront of dental care by doing its share to help keep patients out of emergency rooms. This team has treated over 1,000 emergency patients during the peak of the COVID-19 crisis. Many working 12-hour days, six days a week, Westwind Integrated Health's team are humble heroes helping the Phoenix community.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Westwind Integrated Health is also taking additional measures to not only limit the number of visits to their office, but improve patients' safety while they are there. Always adhering to the highest level of OSHA required Universal Safety Precautions, disinfection, and sterilization for their patients, they have also implemented additional strict sanitation guidelines and personal protection equipment (PPE).
Telemedicine and teledentistry services are also available through Westwind Integrated Health. Patients can connect with qualified dental professionals or primary care physicians (PCP) from their team without ever stepping foot inside the facility. In some cases, this service provides assistance in determining if an in-person appointment is required. Consultations are also available to those interested in learning more about a non-essential or elective treatment like dental implants or their cosmetic services.
Patients with dental emergencies are also encouraged to visit Westwind Integrated Health. Treating what seems like pain localized to just the mouth can result in improvements to a patient's overall health and even provide the boost to his or her immune system needed to fight off infection.
Those interested in learning more about the safety measures being taken by the Westwind Integrated Health or who would like to learn more about their integrated approach to dental and medical care can visit their website at http://www.westwindintegratedhealth.com. To schedule an in-office visit or to take advantage of their telemedicine and teledentistry services call 602-457-8024.
About the Practice
Westwind Integrated Health offers dental and medical care from nine locations in the Glendale and Phoenix, AZ areas. As the only private practice in Arizona and one of only a few practices in the country to combine dental and medical care, this team is innovating health care by offering truly comprehensive care with a whole-body approach. Comprised of a multi-disciplinary team of medical doctors and dental clinicians, Westwind Integrated Health offers specialized general dentistry, orthodontics, endodontics, periodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery. Plus, under the same roof, patients can receive physicals and wellness exams, vision and hearing screenings, vaccinations, nutritional counseling, and minor injury treatment. The family of practices focuses on building genuine patient relationships, comprehensive and state-of-the-art treatment, and improving the long-term health and wellbeing of their patients. To learn more about the multi-specialty team, visit http://www.westwindintegratedhealth.com or call 602-457-8024 to schedule an integrated health consultation.

DENVER (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
AspenRidge Recovery, a rehab and treatment center specializing in mental health, complex trauma, and addiction, today launched AspenRidge REACH, a 100-percent-online Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for adults in New York and New Jersey. The organization's new program safely bypasses stay-at-home orders and social distancing guidelines to bring recovery and treatment directly into homes.
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the issue of getting access to substance abuse treatment, and experts believe it may worsen the opioid epidemic. Each year, tens of thousands of residents of both states suffer from mental health and substance use disorders. Still, they do not seek treatment due to lack of availability, privacy concerns, anxiety, or career and family commitments. AspenRidge REACH program aims to eliminate barriers and provide access to quality mental health and recovery treatment in a safe, virtual setting.
"Addiction and recovery during a pandemic is especially challenging," said Ethan Castro, CEO of AspenRidge Recovery. "REACH makes high-quality treatment available to millions in the two hardest hit states. More than 6,500 people died in 2017 from overdose deaths in New York and New Jersey, and those suffering from substance use and mental health disorders deserve quality, effective care despite the current challenges. We're eager to bring the highest level of care via telehealth to communities throughout New York and New Jersey."
Anyone with a smartphone, tablet, or computer with internet access can use the 12-week telehealth IOP program from the safety of home through private, HIPAA-compliant video therapy. Dually trained, licensed therapists lead all group and individual sessions, and 80% of AspenRidge Alumni report they maintained sobriety one year or more after starting treatment, 65% higher than the industry average.
AspenRidge REACH is enrolling new clients with groups forming immediately. AspenRidge Recovery accepts most major insurance policies and offers affordable options for those without health insurance.
About AspenRidge Recovery
AspenRidge Recovery is a Joint Commission-accredited, dual-diagnosis treatment center specializing in treating co-occurring substance use disorders, mental health disorders and complex trauma for adults. AspenRidge provides each individual with a personalized, unique treatment plan that addresses their specific needs using a combination of holistic and evidence-based mental health, trauma, and addiction treatment modalities. AspenRidge Recovery has physical locations in Lakewood and Fort Collins, Colorado.

"In supporting the next generation of farmers, we're celebrating that spirit of innovation that's in our DNA while helping to ensure a fresh and robust food supply and strong future for families and farmers across the country."
SAE grant applications open in the fall and more information and details on how to apply will be shared at that time.
"FFA members across the country constantly show how they are leading in their communities," said Molly Ball, president of the National FFA Foundation. "This partnership with Bob Evans is a perfect fit, as it provides resources to help our members continue to be innovative and embrace their entrepreneurial spirit."
"Our core beliefs are deeply rooted in bringing America's Farm Fresh to our guests. That comes to life through everything from our hospitality and welcoming farmhouse décor, to the ingredients and dishes on our menu," said Bob Holtcamp, chief marketing officer for Bob Evans Restaurants.

National non-profit utility services organization Hometown Connections, Inc. launches comprehensive, cost-effective cybersecurity program for community-owned utilities and city governments.

LAKEWOOD, COLO. (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
To meet public power's need for cybersecurity solutions that are comprehensive and cost effective, Hometown Connections, Inc. has launched a Cybersecurity Management Program for public power electric, gas, water, and wastewater utilities and other city departments. Hometown Connections is helping community-owned organizations across the United States evaluate their cybersecurity requirements, develop plans for cyber risk management, and deploy effective cybersecurity defenses that include ongoing monitoring, training, remediation, and maintenance services.
A national non-profit utility services organization, Hometown Connections provides innovative, industry-leading solutions in a cost-effective manner to meet the unique needs of community-owned utilities.
Due to the multifaceted and ever-evolving cyber threat, electric utilities of all types must access cybersecurity expertise. Yet many of the resources available today are expensive or not ideally suited for the typical public power utility. The Hometown Connections Cybersecurity Management Program is a comprehensive collection of cybersecurity solutions and a network of providers able to serve as a single resource for the cybersecurity needs of community-owned utilities and city governments. Hometown Connections manages and coordinates all cyber service delivery for each client.
One feature of the Hometown Connections Cybersecurity Management Program is the Cybersecurity Assessment service that identifies cyber vulnerabilities and designs a detailed cyber defense program based on industry standards and best practices. Because the foundation of each utility's cyber defense strategy must be a snapshot of its current security posture, Hometown Connections works with utility personnel and their third-party providers onsite at the utility/municipality or remotely to create a cybersecurity profile. Then, Hometown Connections analyzes the information and delivers a detailed report with recommendations for how to address deficiencies, prioritize action items, and budget for security improvements. To make sure the service is affordable to public power utilities of all sizes and budgets, the pricing for the Cybersecurity Assessment ties to the staffing, infrastructure, and network footprints of the utility or city.
Hometown Connections is continuing its marketing alliance with AESI-US, Inc. and Marsh-Wortham Power Gen Insurance which provide a broad range of cybersecurity services as part of the Cybersecurity Management Program, and their services are synergistic with the Cybersecurity Assessment feature of the Program.
"As community-owned utilities and city governments are targets of ransomware and other cyber-attacks at an alarming rate, we are hearing the same request over and over," said Tim Blodgett, President & CEO. "The medium and smaller-sized organizations want to secure from a single source the expertise to build and maintain a strong cyber defense at a price they can afford. The Hometown Connections Cybersecurity Management Program coordinates the delivery of budget-friendly cyber services and 'boots on the ground' that our industry needs."
"Hometown Connections is uniquely positioned to provide comprehensive cybersecurity services designed specifically for public power," said Randy Howard, Hometown Connections Board Chair and General Manager of the Northern California Power Agency. "We are owned by public power, and we work on cybersecurity issues in close coordination with the American Public Power Association. We are managing a growing network of national vendors and regional field personnel with the expertise and reach to meet public power's demand for cybersecurity solutions designed and priced specifically for them."
About Hometown Connections, Inc.
Hometown Connections, Inc. is a national, non-profit utility services organization specializing in the unique challenges facing community-owned utilities. For more than 20 years, our expert team has helped over 900 utilities to transform their processes and systems. Hometown Connections works with utilities of all sizes, facilitating access to technology and services from industry-leading companies and consultants. Hometown offers solutions to develop each area of the utility business: operations, cybersecurity, business strategy, customer care, finance, and workforce. Hometown Connections, Inc. is co-owned by the Alabama Municipal Electric Authority, American Municipal Power, Inc., Great Lakes Utilities of Wisconsin, Missouri Public Utility Alliance, Northern California Power Agency, and Vermont Public Power Supply Authority.

Combined Capabilities Remove Barriers to Legacy System Integration

PRINCETON, N.J. (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
OpenLegacy, the pioneer in digital-driven integration for legacy and core systems, recently announced a new partnership with Fujitsu RunMyProcess, an alliance that combines the two companies' strengths to accelerate digital transformation.
OpenLegacy speeds up the rollout of digital innovations in legacy environments, while Fujitsu RunMyProcess accelerates business outcomes by streamlining workflows and processes via a flexible and scalable low-code enterprise application platform that offers unique digital solutions.
Experts estimate that more than 80 percent of corporate data still resides in or originates from mainframe legacy systems - data that needs to be accessed quickly and painlessly if companies are to offer modern digital services and remain competitive. Without legacy system integration, organizations cannot deliver the comprehensive API architecture required to succeed in the digital economy.
The OpenLegacy-Fujitsu RunMyProcess alliance removes the barriers to integrating back-office legacy systems, enabling companies to rapidly extend their systems to digital solutions. RunMyProcess DigitalSuite provides elegant workflow automation and choreography for low-code applications in collaborative environments while OpenLegacy creates microservices that contextualize the flows of these low-code applications with data and business logic from core and legacy environments.
"The synergy between Fujitsu RunMyProcess and OpenLegacy directly addresses the needs of corporations who must aggressively develop digital solutions backed by long-reliable but sometimes not easily accessible legacy systems," said Bo Luongo, OpenLegacy's Global SVP, Alliances and Business Development.
Through the superior integration capabilities of RunMyProcess DigitalSuite and OpenLegacy's microservices-based API integration for legacy and on-prem systems, companies can implement enterprise solutions, operate mission-critical processes, and connect complex IT infrastructures to new digital ecosystems in a flexible, secure, and cost-effective way.
"Our objective at Fujitsu RunMyProcess is to provide a platform that provides maximum value to our customers and partners," said Tien Nguyen, Head of Global Partnerships at Fujitsu RunMyProcess. "By teaming up with OpenLegacy, we'll be able to extend our capabilities when it comes to integration with legacy systems, which will help our clients with speed and costs when developing their applications on RunMyProcess DigitalSuite."
About OpenLegacy
OpenLegacy's Digital-Driven Integration enables organizations with legacy systems to release new digital services faster and more efficiently than ever before. It connects directly to even the most complex legacy systems, bypassing the need for extra layers of technology. It then automatically generates APIs in minutes, rapidly integrating those assets into new and exciting innovations. Finally, it deploys them as standard microservices or serverless functions, giving organizations speed and flexibility while drastically cutting costs and resources. With OpenLegacy, industry-leading companies release new apps, features, and updates in days instead of months, enabling them to truly become digital to the core.

Restaurant group switches from legacy system to extend Revel rollout across growing number of locations

ATLANTA (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
Revel Systems, a leading provider of a cloud-based point of sale (POS) and complete business management platform, today announced that more than 80 franchise locations of fast-casual restaurant group, The Halal Guys, will use Revel as its preferred POS partner.
The Halal Guys, famed for pioneering American halal food, has been successfully using the Revel platform in 21 of its locations across the U.S. and plans to have the remaining 62 locations up and running systemwide this August.
"When we were considering Revel, we saw it as the most compatible POS system for The Halal Guys because it supported franchisees, team members and loyal customers," said Margaret Carrera, chief development officer, The Halal Guys. "The most beneficial feature is that the whole system is cloud-based, which means our franchisees and corporate development team can access data from anywhere, allowing us to oversee and troubleshoot inventory, employee management, sales reporting and much more."
From humble food cart beginnings in New York City, The Halal Guys has grown into a world-renowned restaurant chain with more than 90 restaurants worldwide and hundreds more in development. This growth prompted the group to seek out a fast and reliable POS that could be deployed across its growing franchise, help streamline operations and reporting, and enhance the overall customer experience.
The implementation reflects a continued trend for Revel in customer deployments that replace outdated legacy systems and increased business demand for cloud-based systems.
"The decision by The Halal Guys leadership team to switch to a cloud-based POS solution underscores their understanding of where consumer technology is moving and the brand's commitment to an exceptional customer experience," said Chris Lybeer, chief strategy officer, Revel Systems. "Revel Systems is by far the leading cloud-based POS provider to large chains. In these rapidly changing times, the restaurants who want to survive and thrive will need technology that is flexible, consumer focused, and that continuously delivers value and innovation."
Due to Revel's open API and broad industry partnerships, the implementation also involved the successful integration of The Halal Guys' rewards program with the Revel POS. The loyalty app, which recently launched across the franchise, is supported by the Punchh loyalty program and ItsaCheckmate delivery management services, both key Revel partners.
Additional factors that influenced the broad implementation rollout for The Halal Guys included Revel's user friendly interface, low cost, scalability, friendly menu programming and fast and simple setup process. Revel's quick and efficient tech support, paired with its tech guides and follow-up reports, were also a key consideration.
About Revel
Revel Systems powers the ambitions of restaurants and retailers with a robust cloud-based point of sale (POS) and business management system. The Revel Essentials solution, which has been deployed at tens of thousands of customer locations, is designed for the needs of small chains or single sites. The Revel Enterprise solution is tailored for large chains and leads the industry with hundreds of national, big brand customer implementations. Improving day-to-day operations and fueling merchant growth, Revel's streamlined ecosystem helps customers seize their future by pairing an intuitive POS with powerful management tools on a single platform. Founded in 2010 with major offices in Atlanta, Lithuania, and San Francisco, Revel is a leading member of the Apple Enterprise Mobility Program. For more information, please visit http://revelsystems.com/ or call (415) 744-1433.
About The Halal Guys
The Halal Guys grew from humble beginnings as a food cart on the streets of New York City to a global icon known as the largest American halal street food concept in the world. The food cart was first parked on the corner of 53rd and 6th Avenue in 1990 by three like-minded men from Egypt who came to America in search of a better life. When the founders noticed many Muslim cab drivers in New York City were looking for a place to buy halal food in Manhattan, they created their first food cart that quickly grew into a leading destination for American halal fare. In 2014, The Halal Guys began expanding its authentic halal cuisine from the food cart into restaurants and now operates more than 90 locations within the United States, Canada, Indonesia, South Korea and the United Kingdom.

COSTA MESA, CALIF. (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
After a successful launch for the Lumi Mark series, Kinofi has successfully hit its funding goal for the Lumi Elfi on Kickstarter. The beginnings of Lumi Elfi originated from the boom of smartphone accessories.

Kinofi hopes that the Lumi Elfi will help change the narrative of selfie sticks and to bring a new level of creativity for content creators. Camera and smartphone accessories play an essential role in a creator's style which is why the essence of Lumi Elfi will play a big role in helping amateur content creators reach stardom. This sentiment is currently being reflected by the success of its Kickstarter campaign. Some of the most popular features of the Lumi Elfi include the following:

Auto Face Tracking

Intuitive Control Panel

Auto Panorama

Auto Motion Timelapse

In-App Production Suite

In the last few years, we have discovered a way to help sub-contractors get free from payroll tax debt by using what we call the "Discover Your Options Roadmap". It saves you money by relying on the very basic idea that you should only have to pay for the exact tax resolution help that you need. Which, honestly, is radical for the tax resolution industry. Most tax-firms make you pay a "lump-sum" for their entire service, rather than let you pay only for what you need. Even though this idea is simple, the results are not. We are so confident in this roadmap that we will make a 150% money-back guarantee for every sub-contractor interested in discovering their tax resolution options. Get honest advice from licensed professionals who specialize with helping sub-contractor business owners with their payroll tax debt issues." - Jacob Merkley, EA & Founding Partner of Western Tax Alliance

LAS VEGAS (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
Western Tax Alliance has discovered a way to help sub-contractors get free from payroll tax debt by discovering their tax resolution options. Instead of being forced down a single path (what most tax-firms do), this new service comes from the idea that taxpayers should only pay for the tax help that they actually need! Which is highly radical for the tax resolution industry.
Jacob Merkley, our Founding Partner and a licensed Enrolled Agent recently mentioned, "I am so confident in our new "Discover Your Options Roadmap" service, that we are currently offering a 150% money-back guarantee. If our roadmap doesn't work for you, we will personally cut a check for $400 just for wasting your time."
For those sub-contractor businesses out there that haven't withheld payroll taxes, or withheld them but didn't deposit them to the U.S. Treasury, then the IRS can do some (legally) nasty things:
1. Put a lien on business assets or property.
2. Levy property.
3. Pierce the corporate veil and make business owners and other employees personally responsible through the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty
4. And much more.
At its worst, the IRS can put a sub-contractor out of business and make the business owner liable for thousands of dollars of debt. At its best, the company reputation can take a huge hit.
But our new "Discover Your Options Roadmap" Service can offer tax relief clarity. Before resolving any tax issue with the IRS, a taxpayer must learn:
1. Exactly what is owed (taxes, penalties, and interest).
2. And how much can be paid back.
This is what Western Tax Alliance calls the "Discover Phase" and it's the first step in resolving tax debt.
Jacob Merkley, EA further shared, "Surprisingly, most people I work with have no idea what they owe. I see the shock in their faces when I tell them the size of their debt. They know about letters from the IRS but not the extent of their problem. But when you don't deal with your debt right away, penalties and interest will accrue each quarter until you have a "runaway" debt problem. The best time to fix your IRS problems was yesterday. The second-best time is today, and luckily, you can now do this without committing to a full resolution plan before knowing what is actually needed to enter resolution with IRS."
This new service was developed to combat issues within the tax resolution industry.
Many tax resolution firms make promises that cannot be kept. Many also engage in some borderline unethical tactics, usually in the form of some kind of price discrimination. These tax relief firms will charge based on the size of the debt, and not on the complexity of the case. The size of the debt is not a relevant factor. The complexity of the case, and how much work will need to be done is what truly matters.
Additionally, these tax resolution firms will give business owners a quote before they even know what the tax problem is.
These industry problems created a unique opportunity to create an honest and transparent way for sub-contracting business owners to get the expert advice they need to make a good business decision. And that expert advice can now be purchased without any full tax resolution package strings attached. It is being offered as an independent service to help sub-contractors learn:
1. Exactly what is owed in taxes, penalties, and interest.
2. A summary review of the businesses financial picture from an IRS perspective.
3. A licensed, expert recommendation on the best tax resolution strategy, given the unique components of the business and tax case.
4. An explanation on why this is the best tax resolution strategy.
5. A detailed 3-page, step-by-step checklist that outlines the exact strategy to resolve the tax issues with the IRS.
6. And finally, a 15-minute phone call with a licensed Western Tax Alliance team member to answer questions, explain the reasoning, and give professional next step advice.
And all of this is backed up by an unprecedented 150% money-back guarantee.
To order this new service, go to: https://www.westerntaxalliance.com/discover
The Western Tax Alliance team will help each customer for several weeks to analyze their complete tax liability and financial situation. Each customer will walk away with this custom, step-by-step roadmap to resolve their payroll tax debt case.
Fight the IRS today by "Discovering Your Options"!

Playbook now available for free download.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
As tens of thousands of U.S. businesses struggle with returning to a post-COVID new normal, Peppercomm, a leading strategic communications and marketing firm, has launched a new Employee Communications Reboarding Playbook to help them succeed. The guide offers a five-point roadmap for internal communications and human resources leaders in organizations of all types to engage employees at every level during this critical transition phase.
According to a recent survey Peppercomm conducted with the Institute for Public Relations, 80% of corporate executives had not started or did not know about return-to-work planning. Only 10% had done extensive preparation for reboarding employees.
"Determining when to allow at least some of your workforce back on site is challenging: Conditions shift almost daily, and employee sentiment shifts accordingly," said Ann Barlow, Senior Partner and President, Peppercomm West Coast. "As leadership teams navigate logistical, physical and emotional considerations, we wanted to simplify at least some aspects of the process through this playbook."
Peppercomm's Employee Communications Reboarding Playbook is designed to be a continual work in progress, so the team is encouraging outside organizations to share their ideas and experiences. Peppercomm will recognize others' input, update the Playbook and share the latest thinking. Along with more information the Playbook is available for free download at peppercomm.com/reboarding. The guide also features best practices, the latest industry insights, useful tools, and templates.
Peppercomm has found that a key to success is creating reboarding plans that are inherently agile and flexible. Employees' emotions can be volatile, health and safety guidelines often change and vary across geographic regions, and COVID-19 outbreaks will continue. An effective approach will account for continuous employee feedback and external factors that can disrupt operations.
Other components of a robust reboarding plan include processes and tools to gather employee sentiment and recommendations; training and resources for frontline managers to communicate seamlessly with staff; and in-depth scenario planning to identify where the plan is weakest and how to optimize it.
"Employees will remember the first day they step into their physical space again, and how you made them feel that day and in the weeks to follow. They'll also remember how you responded if work is interrupted again," said Courtney Ellul, SVP & Partner, Peppercomm London. "For all organizations, money, reputation and physical and mental health are on the line during reboarding. They can't afford to get this wrong."
The playbook is based on Peppercomm's 26 years of experience in internal communications and employee engagement, including corporate crisis and post-crisis strategies. Peppercomm has worked with internal communications professionals, as well as CHROs and HR directors, to develop data-driven communications programs that help attract and retain talent, ensure employees are informed and engaged, and create workplaces with genuine two-way dialogue. With data and insights underpinning every decision, Peppercomm leverages proprietary measurement solutions to track and evaluate program success.

Sundance for the Troops' bridges the gap between the military and civilian communities through film; virtual film screenings to be held in Fall 2020, with full festival moved to Spring 2021.

SAN DIEGO (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
Organizers of the GI Film Festival San Diego, a military-themed film festival that presents films and events for, by and about military service members and veterans, announce KPBS, a public media station in San Diego, California, as the sole producer of the national film festival. All activities will now originate in San Diego, including the awards competition, judging, and in-person film screenings. The full festival is scheduled for May 18-23, 2021, allowing for additional time to plan screening events outside of current COVID-19 limitations.
"KPBS is honored to have grown the GI Film Festival in San Diego. But to now have the blessing and trust from founders Brandon and Laura is truly an honor. KPBS is proud to continue the strong GI Film Festival traditions in San Diego and beyond," says Nancy Worlie, associate general manager of content and communications, KPBS. "In just five short years, we've demonstrated that the GI Film Festival was important to our community and that we can continue this tradition for filmmakers around the globe."
The national GI Film Festival was founded in 2006 by U.S. Army Veteran Laura Law-Millett and her husband Brandon Millett, to foster greater public understanding of the military experience through film, television and live special events. For over a decade, the award-winning GI Film Festival happened annually in Washington, DC in the spring from 2006 to 2017. Additional events were hosted on military bases around the country and in Los Angeles, California. In 2015, the GI Film Festival worked with KPBS to bring "Sundance for the Troops" permanently to San Diego to help expand the festival's footprint. The shift to the West Coast was only natural as San Diego boasts one of the largest military populations in the U.S., with seven major military bases between the Navy, Marines and the Coast Guard. San Diego County has the third largest veteran population in the U.S. with more than 240,500 veterans and more than 100,000 active duty members. In 2018, the GI Film Group announced San Diego would be the home for the national film festival for that year. This year, KPBS officially acquired the GI Film Festival making San Diego the home for the national festival now and for years to come. The Milletts will remain advisors to KPBS moving forward.
"As the first military film festival in the country, the GI Film Festival provided a voice for the military community in entertainment and we are so proud to have helped deliver hundreds of films into the marketplace showing the honor and courage of those who serve," says Brandon Millett. "And now, under the leadership of KPBS, we have no doubt that the festival will continue to grow and encourage filmmakers everywhere to share their stories."
To also continue its mission to engage audiences, inspire filmmakers, and celebrate authentic storytelling, the festival will present a virtual screening showcase on Oct. 1 and 2, 2020. Titles and filmmaker participation to be announced later this summer, and films will be hand-selected by festival organizers.
Looking Back on the History of the GI Film Festival San Diego
In its six year history, the festival has presented 164 films and attracted thousands of attendees. Each film tells a compelling and unique story that may challenge the festival-goers' notions about what it means to serve and goes beyond one-dimensional depictions of veterans, service members, their caregivers, and families. The festival also holds in-depth panel discussions after each film block to help reduce the military-civilian divide. There is also an opportunity for San Diego area filmmakers to share their work and celebrate the growing San Diego film community, through the festival's Local Film Showcase, organized in partnership with the Film Consortium San Diego.
The GI Film Festival San Diego has also hosted several celebrities who participated in films selected for the festival, including documentary filmmakers Ken Burns and Ric Burns; actor and activist George Takei; actor Matthew Marsden; actor/producer/director Jeffrey Wright; and actor/director Brenda Strong.
Film Submissions Now Accepted for 2021 GI Film Festival San Diego
From documentaries and narratives to shorts and feature-lengths, festival organizers are looking for filmmakers worldwide to submit their works for consideration for the 2021 awards competition. Film submissions can include storylines or narrative arcs about the military experience (past or present day; USA or international-during service; back home after service, etc.). Civilians, active duty and veterans are welcome to submit content between May 25, 2020 and January 20, 2021. For complete submission requirements, deadlines, sponsorship opportunities, and more information on the GI Film Festival San Diego, please visit GIFilmFestivalSD.org.

Sagitec's pension administration solution Neospin will incorporate many enhanced functionalities so PSPB can serve its members better

ST. PAUL, MINN. (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
The Public Service Pensions Board (PSPB) of the Cayman Islands has selected Sagitec for replacing their current pension administration system. Sagitec's Pension Administration Solution Neospin was chosen among other solutions as it meets all PSPB's current business needs and can evolve to accommodate future needs.
PSPB administers both Defined Benefit and Defined Contribution schemes for eligible employees of the Cayman Islands Government, Statutory Authorities, Government Owned Companies, members of the Judiciary and elected members of the Legislative Assembly.
"We at the PSPB look forward to a long and fruitful partnership with the Sagitec team to better serve our members and other stakeholders," said Jewel Evans-Lindsey, Chief Executive Officer with the PSPB, "and we are excited to work towards implementing a system that will offer new features that will continue to demonstrate that the PSPB is a recognized leader in member services."
Neospin will incorporate workflow and payroll solutions, implementing new member and employer-facing web portals, and introducing Electronic Document Management (EDM). Neospin will comply with data security and privacy standards to meet European GDPR requirements and other stringent compliance needs of the Cayman Islands.
The solution will be hosted on Microsoft's Azure Cloud. Business continuity planning and disaster recovery are essential for the PSPB, with Cayman being an island nation. Hosting on the cloud will eliminate risks from natural disasters and ensure minimum disruptions to service for the PSPB's members.
"We are excited to partner with the PSPB and deliver a quality system that will serve the PSPB and its members for years to come. We look forward to kick-starting the project soon," said Piyush Jain, Sagitec Chief Executive Officer.
Sagitec and PSPB will start the project after normalizing operations due to the impacts of COVID-19.
The Cayman Islands will be the fourth country where Neospin will be implemented after the USA, Fiji, and Canada.
Background on the Public Service Pensions Board
The Public Service Pensions Board is responsible for administering pensions on behalf of the Cayman Islands Government, Statutory Authorities and Government Owned Companies. In addition, the PSPB invests the Public Sector Pensions Funds, communicates with plan employers and members, recommends contribution rates in accordance with the latest actuarial valuation, provides policy advice to the Cayman Islands Government and recommends amendments to the Plans and quantifying their financial impact, as needed.
In 28 years of existence, the PSPB has worked to provide quality and timely service to plan members and stakeholders. In order to best serve such important groups, the PSPB creates a culture that shapes beliefs, values, and norms with a focus on our plan members. It is a culture of "Excellence and Pride in PSPB" that guides the work of the PSPB team to have high levels of participation, feedback, engagement, and cooperative teamwork in order to achieve organizational strategies and business objectives.

The Gateway 260 is a rugged yet lightweight edge computing platform for mobile equipment that provides a wide range of communication technologies, and is built with an IP67-rated rugged enclosure for use outdoors and for mounting on heavy machinery.

FARGO, N.D. (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
Appareo today released a new product in the company's award-winning line of telematically-enabled electronic control units (ECUs). The Gateway 260 is a rugged yet lightweight edge computing platform for mobile equipment applications that provides a wide range of communication technologies: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Cellular, GPS, BroadR-Reach, Ethernet, and controller area networking (CAN). The device is built with an IP67-rated rugged enclosure for use outdoors and for mounting on heavy machinery, and like all Appareo Gateways, the Gateway 260 is built on a popular distribution of embedded Linux (Yocto) with Docker support that allows developers to quickly deploy applications.
The Appareo Gateway 260 is unique in that it couples the capabilities of a modern LTE connectivity device and a powerful computational platform capable of receiving and processing data from a wide range of vehicle networks and buses.
"While other solutions require multiple, separate devices to accomplish computation and cloud connectivity, Gateway 260 was designed to aggregate local/wired communications and Wi-Fi/cellular connectivity in one box with powerful processing capabilities, lowering the total cost for our customers," said David Batcheller, President & CEO of Appareo. "Our architecture that enables strong local area network integration between off-highway equipment and mobile devices like phones and tablets continues in the Gateway 260. This allows our customers to create mobile app experiences that control or monitor their machines using the operator's portable electronic devices."
For example, Väderstad and Appareo collaborated to design an entirely new machine control architecture for Väderstad planters and seeders, uniquely featuring the capability to control the machine using iPads through a Wi-Fi interface. The Appareo Gateway acts as the server for the user interface, contains all the control logic necessary to operate the machine, and commands other ECUs on the CAN bus to execute machine tasks or get information. The user has the ability to utilize an ISOBUS-compatible Virtual Terminal, an iPad display, or both at the same time. With the inclusion of an iPad as a control interface, the user is able to perform all functions wirelessly to the machine, which has made out-of-cab operations much more convenient. Väderstad was the first agricultural machinery manufacturer to utilize a mobile tablet in this way.
From remote diagnostics (securely accessing devices to troubleshoot equipment in real time) to inexpensively deploying firmware updates through differential software updating tools, Appareo Gateways offer a wide spectrum of capabilities.
One company that integrated Appareo's 300 Series Gateways for its telematic solutions is AGCO Corporation. AGCO utilized an Appareo 300 Series Gateway with Iridium connectivity to expand AgCommand, AGCO's complete, end-to-end, wireless telemetry solution for remote precision agriculture and machine monitoring. Appareo is one of only a few integrators in the world for the 9603 Iridium chipset — the smallest commercial two-way satellite transceiver — which enabled AGCO to become the first in agriculture to equip machines with connectivity on a broad, global scale. The Appareo Gateway can collect and distribute real-time data, product and performance data, health and asset management data, location data, security and recovery data, in addition to remote diagnostics and the possibility for future predictive maintenance capabilities.

Accutech Security has entered into a formal partnership with TPC Systems for the distribution of the Cuddles infant protection solution throughout Connecticut and the Northeast.

FRANKLIN, WIS. (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
Accutech Security has entered into a formal partnership with TPC Systems for the distribution of the Cuddles infant protection solution throughout Connecticut and the Northeast.
Accutech Security is a leading manufacturer in electronic monitoring and security systems and has more than 5,000 active installations worldwide. TPC Systems has offered life safety systems like nurse call, infant protection, fire alarm, and access control for over 85 years.
TPC has dominated the Connecticut market by integrating reporting analysis with their solution offering. This important data provides hospitals with valuable information on improving efficiencies and outcomes.
"The top two reasons we chose to switch to the Cuddles infant protection solution are that it greatly reduces alarm fatigue and we love the feel and functionality of the Cuddles band," stated Tom Cafora, owner of TPC Systems.
The Cuddles band is soft and automatically adjusts for postpartum weight loss in the infant, eliminating "too loose" alarms.
"Our sales team's biggest concern is patient safety, which is why they don't want the infant security system to use the hospital's Wi-Fi," stated TPC's Business Development Director, Fred Paoletti.
TPC is not alone in its desire to protect its clients. With competitive infant systems moving to Wi-Fi models in favor of offering enterprise RTLS solutions, many dealers are finding it necessary to provide a solution that doesn't open the system up to vulnerabilities that are inherent with Wi-Fi technology.
"We are excited to welcome TPC Systems to the Accutech family of authorized dealers," said Josh Williams, President for Accutech Security. "TPC's reputation in the Connecticut market is second to none and their commitment to extraordinary customer service mirrors Accutech's dedication to the end-user."
About TPC Systems
TPC Systems is a full-service systems integration and communication technology solution provider serving customers in the healthcare, education, commercial, and institutional markets. For over 85 years, TPC Systems has provided full project life cycle services including system planning, project management, installation, training and maintenance, and unmatched technical support with their on-call staff that is available 24/7, allowing customers to always speak with a live person.
About Accutech Security
Founded in 1985, Accutech Security is a leading manufacturer of advanced electronic monitoring and security systems, marketed and sold under the Accutech brand. Accutech's specialized security systems are actively installed in more than 5,000 healthcare facilities across the world. As a leading manufacturer of security systems for over 35 years, Accutech continues to provide innovative, reliable, and cost-effective solutions for the safety of babies, patients, and residents worldwide.

"The top two reasons we chose to switch to the Cuddles infant protection solution are that it greatly reduces alarm fatigue and we love the feel and functionality of the Cuddles band," stated Tom Cafora, owner of TPC Systems.

Industry Leading Plant Scientist to Verify AeroBloom Yield and Water Usage Claims

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
Aeroponics Integrated Systems Inc., (AIS) the Los Angeles-based manufacturer of AeroBloom advanced cultivation systems, today announced that it has entered into an independent research agreement with Dr. Robb Farms Inc., a leading cannabis cultivator and industry consultant, to conduct a third-party verification trial of its next-generation aeroponics technology.
Under the terms of the agreement, Dr. Robert Flannery, Dr. Robb Farms CEO, will serve as study director and principal investigator. Known as the first PhD of pot, Dr. Flannery is among the cannabis industry's leading plant scientists. The intent of the study is to provide independent verification of the increased yield and reduced water usage claims made by AIS in association with its aeroponics cultivation system.
AIS CEO Steve Crane says, "Our patent-pending aeroponics cultivation technology is the result of nearly 30 years of hands-on development in cannabis cultivation by our co-founder. We have historically averaged 4lbs of ultra-high quality, dried, cured and hand-trimmed flower per light, while using 40% less water than hydroponics. We fully expect to meet or exceed those statistics in the trial with Dr. Robb Farms."
"I have grown cannabis in every conceivable medium and process, and have considerable experience with aeroponics. When I learned of the AeroBloom system, I was eager to document its performance at our research and development facility. Obviously, if it performs as advertised it could represent a new paradigm in indoor cannabis cultivation, a potentially disruptive event in our industry", says Dr. Flannery.
The trial will entail a side-by-side comparison of two identically sized and outfitted cultivation containers using Dr. Robb Farms' state-of-the-art hydroponics as the control and the AIS aeroponics system as the trial subject. Study objectives are: (a) verify AIS aeroponics system production yield of finished flower per light over one flower cycle, as compared to control; (b) verify water usage reduction, as compared to control; (c) verify nutrient efficiency due to a reduction in nutrient usage; and (d) verify flower quality parameters as compared to control.
The parties are now actively preparing for the initiation of the trial and expect to complete it by the fall of 2020. In the event that trial endpoints are achieved, Dr. Flannery will author a white paper at the conclusion of the trial.
About Aeroponics Integrated Systems Inc.
AIS has developed AeroBloom, a proprietary, patent-pending aeroponics system that reliably achieves at least double the crop yield of hydroponic cultivation. AIS growing technology uses 40%-90% less water than hydroponics or traditional farming practices and produces a higher-quality harvest with one additional crop cycle per year.

Douglas Palma's new book "Double Gifted" follows the life of fourteen-year-old Emma who is on the verge of entering high school and trying desperately to figure out the gifts she was born with.

HENDERSON, NEV. (PRWEB) MAY 29, 2020
Douglas Palma, who is an avid traveler, has completed his new book "Double Gifted": an intriguing tale about how high school and life are hard enough for teenagers, let alone those who are born double gifted.
Palma writes, "Being born double gifted meant that you got both magic and superpowers. The teenagers who were born with superpowers learned how to use their superpowers the right way from the start of high school and throughout high school. Superpowers and magic helped protect the cities, countries, and the world from harm as well as evildoers who wanted to harm those cities, countries, and the world. Magic came into the world by people doing things that they wouldn't normally do, like a store window cracking for no reason. Magic answered a lot of things that couldn't be explained or talked about."
Published by Page Publishing, Douglas Palma's riveting work tells the story of how on Emma's first day of school, she is lucky enough to meet Jack, a fellow freshman who can help her navigate through it all.
But both Emma and Jack need to be careful. There is a secret organization that is out to separate the double gifted citizens from the rest of the city that both Emma's and Jack's families call home.
Readers who wish to experience this exciting work can purchase "Double Gifted" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

This opportunity leads to a host of careers in television, film, music videos, and modeling. However, at the height of his career, opportunities begin to slow down.

This life leads to his death when he drinks from a bottle of wine laced with the latest mixture of the date rape drug GHB. "The Journey of the Island Jewel' is a biography like none you have ever read before.
We are only here temporarily. Be the higher power...look at the stars at night when you are out and thank God for life" (The Journey of the Island Jewel).

Clinical evidence from the post-approval study, "A Prospective, Single-Arm, Multicenter, Observational Assessment of the Long Term Safety and Efficacy of Solesta Injectable Bulking Agent for the Treatment of Fecal Incontinence (FI)," shows that 80% of the 283 subjects enrolled across 18 US sites remained free from reintervention. Treatment with Solesta was proven to be both clinically and statistically significant in improving Quality of Life (QOL) for at least 36 months among patients suffering from fecal incontinence (FI). This study supports the original FDA premarket approval (PMA) finding that Solesta reduced episodes of FI, improved QOL, and was effective and durable through 36 months. Solesta is a less invasive and less costly alternative to surgery following failure of conservative treatment.

SANTA BARBARA, CALIF. AND STOCKHOLM (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
Palette Life Sciences today announces the results and U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) acceptance of the Solesta post-approval study: "A Prospective, Single-Arm, Multicenter, Observational Assessment of the Long Term Safety and Efficacy of Solesta Injectable Bulking Agent for the Treatment of Fecal Incontinence (FI)."
The study confirms the treatment benefits previously approved by the FDA, as well as the efficacy, positive impact on QOL, and durability of Solesta treatment effect through 36 months observed in the premarket approval study follow-up.1,2
The new study included 283 subjects across 18 US sites. Notably, the study concluded that:1

The treatment effect of Solesta is durable and remains statistically significant and clinically meaningful for at least 36 months and over 80% of subjects remained free from FI reintervention at that time point.

Two separate validated and well-established scales measuring QOL of subjects suffering from FI show a significant improvement in all measured domains from baseline to 36 months post treatment.

The mean QOL improvement was both statistically and clinically significant in all fecal incontinence QOL categories: lifestyle, coping/ behavior, depression, self-perception and embarrassment.

Subjects also showed statistically significant reduction in symptoms burden.

Zero unexpected device or treatment related serious adverse events occurred.

Fecal or bowel incontinence affects millions of people worldwide. The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ASCRS) clinical practice guidelines for fecal incontinence states that up to 18% of the general population worldwide suffer from FI.3 However, due to the shame and emotional toll of this condition, many people avoid seeking treatment, and the number of cases is likely higher.4
Healthcare providers and patients can be confident in the demonstrated durability, safety and efficacy through 36 months of Solesta to reduce the number of FI episodes and improve QOL both clinically and statistically.
Solesta is the only FDA-approved minimally invasive treatment for bowel incontinence. It is an injectable, viscous gel made from two polysaccharides; Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid (NASHA) and unique Dextranomer (Dx) microspheres. The Solesta implant is stable, remains in position and is the only FDA approved injectable gel to be administered in an outpatient setting without the need for anesthesia.2 5,6
"The results of this study are very positive and promising," said Dr. Giovanna da Silva, a specialist in Colorectal Surgery and primary investigator for the study. "It confirms the efficacy and durability of Solesta from the initial studies and establishes the product as a viable treatment option."
"This study further confirms that Solesta can have a positive impact for millions of people worldwide who suffer from FI, and showed long term improvement in lifestyle, coping, behavior, depression, self-perception, and the embarrassment often associated with FI," said Simone Howell, Head of Solesta Development, Palette Life Sciences.
About Solesta
Solesta, a Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid (NASHA) and dextranomer gel, is a tissue bulking agent that is injected into the submucosal layer of the anal canal for treatment of bowel incontinence in adults.

Adonis AS (Adonis), global providers of HR systems for the maritime industry, today announces that it will include infrared facial scanning and pre-boarding checklists in the Adonis Maritime Suite to mitigate health risks and allow organizations to safely resume their business operations.

BERGEN, NORWAY (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
Adonis AS (Adonis), global providers of HR systems for the maritime industry, today announces that it will include infrared facial scanning and pre-boarding checklists in the Adonis Maritime Suite to mitigate health risks and allow organizations to safely resume their business operations. The ability to unobtrusively monitor the temperatures of crew during security check-in/check-out and during onboard activities, combined with a streamlined process for checking potential exposure to COVID-19 during pre-boarding, will give maritime organizations the safeguards and confidence they and their customers need to return to work.
Infrared (IR) facial temperature scanning, which is integrated into the Adonis Clock Module, sends an alert when a person's body temperature exceeds pre-set levels, signalling the crew to take immediate action to avert potential health issues. The pre-boarding check lists, which will be part of the Adonis Employee Portal, allows the organization to ask key questions in determining one's potential exposure to the virus, including: "Have there been any Covid-19 cases in your family?" and "Have you been in quarantine in the last four weeks?" Based on the answers, notifications and warnings are generated and sent to crew planners, shipboard managers and anyone else in the "decision chain." Using customisable workflows, each company will be able to tailor make the re-boarding processes and check lists to ensure they are in line with their policies and procedures.
"The pandemic has put severe pressure on the maritime sector to introduce new policies and procedures to restore the confidence of both crew and passengers, which is why helping our customers mitigate the impact Covid-19 has been our top priority," says Erick Meijer, Adonis Product Director. "Over the past several weeks we've worked in close collaboration with several maritime organizations to develop these safeguards so they can prepare their crews and passengers for safe voyages."
About Adonis AS
Adonis AS is a Norwegian software house that has established itself as a leading supplier of integrated HR and payroll systems to the international shipping and offshore industries. Being family owned and operated for more than 30 years has led to a high degree of expertise and customer loyalty.

Lessons of the Heart" from Christian Faith Publishing author LizAnn Baker is an emotionally driven account that tells of a woman's disillusionment and a man who comes to bring her back to those who truly love her.

MEADVILLE, PA. (PRWEB) MAY 29, 2020
"Lessons of the Heart": a heartrending story of a woman who is lost and hurt in an unfamiliar land that prompts a man to redeem her back to her heritage and the loving grace of God. "Lessons of the Heart" is the creation of published author LizAnn Baker, a prolific writer and a retired teacher who lives in the southeastern hills of Ohio.
Baker shares, "'Lessons of the Heart' follows Arabella Lacy Keye Rogers as she pursues her dream of living in high society and the culture found in Boston. She attends a select school in St. Louis to learn the ways of ladies of society. Impulsively, she follows her heart and the man she loves to Boston, taking a risk that results in deceit, lies, and disobedience. Ignoring the signs of warning, she plunges into society headlong and finds herself heartbroken, ashamed, and desolate. She hides away in a Boston tenement with no hope.
"Kentucky, who is the foreman of the ranch Lacy is to inherit at twenty-five, is sent by Sara and Bart Rogers to find their daughter and bring her home. In the course of finding the woman he loves, he discovers she does not love him, refuses to go home, and is in despair of her life. Kentucky has only one solution for her through a Power higher than himself.
"'Lessons of the Heart' is a poignant story of the heart and the lessons God teaches in the lives of the ones who become His children."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, LizAnn Baker's new book is a riveting testament to the unbound power of the Lord that blesses the pain-stricken and lost with healing and salvation.
This book exudes with powerful dramatic and spiritual moments that define the encompassing and unconditional love of God for His wayward children.

She knows that healing may lie on the back side of tomorrow, but to get there, she has to pass through today. And that passage is not always easy.
Walk along with her and be part of her life as she establishes new relationships that will help to guide her on her way.

Learn from her as she grows and matures

Share her grief, struggles, and challenges

Feel her despair and lonely heartache

Engage and laugh with her humor

Applaud her accomplishments

Be encouraged by her faith

Yes, come and join Alex again and share the days of a precious soul that will never lose sight of the fact that 'Love may hurt, that love may grow'"

Deborah Heart and Lung Center and HGE Health partner to Introduce Remote Patient Monitoring for COPD Patients in New Jersey

BROWNS MILLS, N.J. (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
Deborah Heart and Lung Center, New Jersey's only specialty heart, lung, and vascular hospital, and an Alliance member of the Cleveland Clinic Heart, Vascular & Thoracic Institute, has announced the introduction of remote patient monitoring for patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
COPD is a growing and devastating disease and is the third leading cause of death in the United States. An estimated 16 million American adults are diagnosed with the condition every year, and another 12 million people are believed to be undiagnosed. COPD is a progressive disease with restricted airflow causing difficulty breathing, coughing, and wheezing. Patients diagnosed with COPD require physician monitoring to prevent the disease from progressing.
With the expansion of telemedicine and remote monitoring services prompted by the Coronavirus epidemic, Deborah has instituted a new remote patient monitoring services platform. Called HGE Care the remote monitoring platform is designed for COPD patients who have been discharged from the hospital and are recuperating at home.
"This is a great step forward for our COPD patients who are particularly vulnerable after a hospital stay," said Andrew Martin, MD, Chair, Pulmonary Medicine at Deborah. "In order to provide the absolute best health outcomes for our patients, when they are discharged they will be set-up on their smartphones with a secure, private communication with our contact center, so they can report on their symptoms daily. If there is a change in a patient's status, the contact center will immediately alert us, and the patient will receive a call from their physician for further follow-up."
Dr. Martin added: "We expect that this same-day symptom feedback loop will help prevent a worsening of symptoms, and will provide us the ability to head off any problems before they escalate."
HGE Health, the platform's developer, points to HGE Care as a critical bridge between patients and physicians.
"We know that patients discharged from the hospital are highly vulnerable and clinically fragile," said Michael J. Markus, Ph.D., CEO, HGE Health. "Partnering with a hospital like Deborah allows us to support these patients on their journey to health."
The HGE Care Contact Center is staffed by pulmonary nurses and healthcare coordinators and operates from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. EST, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Built on clinical protocols developed and supported by 17 years of research, the Company's technology has compiled the longest-running and world's largest longitudinal data set of COPD symptoms, interventions, and clinical management to help physicians provide care for a diverse COPD and pulmonary patient population.
About Deborah Heart and Lung Center
Deborah Heart and Lung Center in Browns Mills, NJ is an 89-bed teaching hospital that specializes in the diagnosis, research, and treatment of heart, lung, and vascular diseases, as well as providing outpatient cardiology services for children. Deborah is consistently recognized as a leader in patient care and innovative healing, and is an Alliance Partner of the Cleveland Clinic Heart, Vascular & Thoracic Institute. Deborah has a high rating from the Center for Medicare Services and is ranked among the top hospitals in New Jersey for patient satisfaction; and a 3-Star Society of Thoracic Surgeons rating for both coronary artery bypass and aortic valve surgeries, which ranks Deborah among the top 7% of cardiac surgery programs in the country. For more information visit http://www.demanddeborah.org
About HGE Health
Headquartered in Fort Washington, PA, HGE Health harnesses its deep experience in chronic disease management and digital health in pulmonary disease, telemedicine, and mobile health to develop a clinical services platform that delivers better care faster at a much lower cost for patients, physicians and payors. Built on clinical protocols developed and supported by 16 years of research, the company's technology has compiled the longest-running and world's largest longitudinal data set of COPD symptoms, interventions, and clinical management to help physicians provide care for a geographically and socio-economically diverse COPD and pulmonary patient population.

"This is a great step forward for our COPD patients. We expect that this same-day symptom feedback loop will help prevent a worsening of symptoms, and will provide us the ability to head off any problems before they escalate," said Andrew Martin, MD, Chair, Pulmonary Medicine at Deborah.

Key Housing helps business travelers find hard-to-find furnished or serviced apartments for short term durations in San Jose and other Silicon Valley locations. The company is announcing its June NorCal featured designee as essential travel gradually increases to Northern California.

SAN JOSE, CALIF. (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
Key Housing, the leading California service to locate hard-to-find serviced and furnished short term rentals in Northern California at https://keyhousing.com/, is proud to announce its NorCal designee for featured complex. Essential travel is slowly resuming to Northern California and many business travelers are looking for non-hotel options as California slowly reopens.
"San Jose and Silicon Valley are critical parts of the national economy," explained Robert Lee, President of Key Housing. "Not surprisingly, essential travel is slowly increasing and we are seeing an uptick in inquiries for so-called 'serviced' or 'furnished' short term rentals in the San Jose area. Hence, our NorCal designee shines the light on our advantages vis-a-vis hotels."
The company has designated the "Villa Torino Apartments" as the San Jose winner for featured complex for June, 2020. It can be viewed at https://www.villatorinoapts.com/. The complex offers furnished or so-called 'serviced apartments' and is convenient to downtown San Jose and indeed all of Silicon Valley. It's even pet-friendly, offering dog and cat owners the opportunity to bring their favorite friends if they so desire, subject of course to specific limitations per the rental agreements. Parking is also available thus making the complex car-friendly and great for an essential traveler who wants to stay in San Jose but may have meetings or engagements in nearby cities like Santa Clara or Milpitas or elsewhere in Santa Clara county.
Persons who want to learn more can also visit the Key Housing listing at https://www.keyhousing.com/rightside.asp?action=form3&ID=148 and reach out to a rental consultant for help finding hard-to-find serviced apartments not just in San Jose but in Milpitas, Santa Clara, Mountain View and other key Silicon Valley population centers. Foreigners who want to read up on San Jose can also visit the company's blog at http://blog.keyhousing.com/tag/san-jose/.
SAN JOSE AND POST-CORONAVIRUS SAFETY MEASURES
San Jose, like all of California, is taking extensive precautionary measures against the Coronavirus. Obviously, the first priority of Key Housing is to protect the health and safety of its employees, clients, and their families. However, many companies and the government are still requiring employees to engage in essential travel. Travel to San Jose and nearby cities is thus continuing, but the business traveler is concerned about crowded hotels including exposure to other guests, staff, crowded buffets, and restaurants, etc. For this reason, Key Housing is issuing an alert on the advantages of short-term rentals vis-a-vis hotels.
These are: a) Key Housing is closely monitoring and implementing all CDC recommendations to avoid the spread of COVID-19, b) Key Housing is not a hotel, that is an accommodation where multiple guests use the same furnishings, and instead each client enjoys the advantages of an individual residence, c) clients can rest assured in the knowledge that each Key Housing residence is set up for their exclusive use. As for the last point, each and every piece of furniture, housewares and linens in a temporary residence is being delivered fresh from the warehouse. Every item has been cleaned and disinfected. Additionally, special attention is paid to disinfecting all hard surfaces in the residence prior to a client's arrival.

A joint report explores strategies to address significant affordable housing preservation risks

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
The Public and Affordable Housing Research Corporation (PAHRC) and the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC) released the inaugural 2020 Picture of Preservation report. This new report explores the pivotal role the federal government plays in building and preserving affordable rental housing at a time when millions of Americans are facing housing instability during the coronavirus pandemic.
Even before the pandemic, the United States faced a shortage of seven million rental homes that were affordable and available to the lowest-income renter households. The report finds that just 4.9 million rental homes are subsidized through federal project-based subsidies to serve low-income households, representing a mere 10% of the entire rental housing stock. Nearly two-thirds of these homes (64%) are more than 20 years old.
Many of these homes are at-risk of being lost from the affordable housing stock through the expiration of affordability requirements, deteriorating physical conditions, and inadequate federal funding. The report finds that affordability restrictions are set to expire for 299,303 publicly supported homes in the next five years. Fifty-eight percent of these homes demonstrate two or more known risk factors, including no capital subsidies in the past 20 years, for-profit ownership, construction more than 45 years ago, and failing inspection scores.
NLIHC and PAHRC used information from the National Housing Preservation Database (NHPD) and other sources to compile the findings in the report. "We hope local planners, policymakers, and housing professionals will use these data and the findings from this report to inform their local housing preservation plans," said PAHRC Director of Research and Industry Intelligence Keely Stater.
Preserving the existing supply of affordable housing limits the loss of difficult-to-replace housing in desirable neighborhoods, mitigates further disinvestment from distressed communities, and prevents the further decline of the already limited federally subsidized housing stock. Preservation also provides an opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save money through energy retrofitting. Most importantly, preserving existing affordable housing limits displacement and improves housing quality for current tenants.
Given limited resources, communities often struggle to meet their preservation needs while still building new affordable homes. The report concludes that the preservation of federally assisted rental housing requires an increase in funding for the national Housing Trust Fund, the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program, Section 515 Rural Rental Housing program, and the public housing capital fund. "Given the importance of affordable housing to families' well-being and to public health, there is an urgent need for significant federal investments in programs that preserve existing affordable homes," said NLIHC President and CEO Diane Yentel. Affordable housing preservation must also be supported by policies that promote long-term affordability, such as incentivizing or requiring owners to agree to longer affordable periods and by adopting first right of refusal if an owner wishes to sell.
PAHRC and NLIHC received support from Fannie Mae to fund this year's Picture of Preservation report.
2020 Picture of Preservation is available here.
Statewide preservation profiles are available here.
About the National Low Income Housing Coalition
Established in 1974 by Cushing N. Dolbeare, the National Low Income Housing Coalition is dedicated solely to achieving socially just public policy that ensures people with the lowest incomes in the United States have affordable and decent homes. NLIHC educates, organizes, and advocates to ensure decent, affordable housing for everyone. For more information about NLIHC, please visit http://www.nlihc.org.
About The Public and Affordable Housing Research Corporation
The Public and Affordable Housing Research Corporation (PAHRC) is a non-profit research center dedicated to conducting research that promotes the national conversation about the importance of affordable housing. PAHRC spotlights the impact, outcomes, and value affordable housing brings to the families it serves and to the communities it supports, delivering data and tools that assist researchers, practitioners, and advocates to build an evidence-based case for why affordable housing matters.

Newly formed investment firm to help small companies in the unstable COVID-19 era regain their footing and achieve long-term success

NEW YORK (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
Basis Vectors, a Berkshire Hathaway-style alternative investment and technology firm, launched today, signaling plans to acquire, transform and accelerate vertically-focused B2B Software as a Service (SaaS) companies. Basis Vectors transforms high-potential yet undervalued SaaS companies that demonstrate potential for long-term growth and robust balance sheets, and is uniquely positioned to help companies that have been strained by the global coronavirus pandemic. Investment in the firm's $50 million fund is led by Cianna Capital, a private investment fund focused on new-age technology investments, with participation from the UHNW family offices of Rajesh Jain, founder of Netcore, Abhishek Goel and Tracxn.
Co-founders Ambarish Gupta and Upmanyu Misra bring decades of broad industry, entrepreneurial and organizational expertise to Basis Vectors.
"We are not looking to buy superstar businesses for a quick flip or to provide predatory debt lines. Instead, we stand shoulder to shoulder with the management of high potential companies by taking over some of the day-to-day operations and scale strategies," said Ambarish Gupta, co-founder and CEO of Basis Vectors. "Our real differentiator is our unique, proprietary operating model, SaaSMachine, which stands on four pillars: Engineering, Finance, Sales & Support, and Marketing. We call these the vectors of success."
Leveraging its team of more than 40 on-demand professionals around the world, Basis Vectors injects bespoke capital as well as templatized and efficient operational structures into companies—a philosophy that allows for the transformation of companies that have deterministic, sticky customer bases and reasonable valuations.
As CEO, Gupta brings extensive business development experience, as well as marketing and organizational strategy and efficiency to the firm. Prior to launching Basis Vectors, Gupta co-founded Knowlarity Communications, a Sequoia-backed cloud telephony company in Asia, where he served as CEO. Prior, he served as a financial services strategist at McKinsey.
CIO Upmanyu is a venture capital and private equity professional with full investment cycle exposure. He currently leads Cianna Capital and has served bulge bracket institutions including Citi and JP Morgan for more than 10 years.
"Software entrepreneurs have long been pressurized by investors, often with disastrous results, to achieve unreasonable growth. We solve the problem of undervaluation due to a lack of exponential growth for SaaS companies with a strong product and sticky customer base," said Misra. "Our approach is quite different from that of a typical fund in that we lead with the expectation that most of our portfolio companies will be around for decades."
Industry experts and analysts predict the U.S. economy will enter into a recession, triggering a need for seismic shifts in investment patterns. For SaaS companies to survive under the current economic upheaval, it is vital for them to run efficiently with low operational spending. Exponential value generation, especially from non-essential services and products, is poised to take a back seat. Meanwhile, investors will favor SaaS companies that provide meaningful services to enterprises and SMEs.
As Bain and Company's 2019 Private Equity report noted, "the buy-and-build strategies that outperform typically rely on multiple paths to value creation. They take full advantage of multiple arbitrage, they identify and capture synergies and operational improvements, and they generate top-line growth by improving commercial capabilities and implementing smarter go-to-market strategies at each company acquired."
"Basis Vectors is committed to saving promising SaaS companies during this economically volatile time. Believing that investing in long-term growth is more strategic, the firm applies a value investment, buy-and-hold mindset regarding wholesale investments," said Gupta.
About Basis Vectors
Basis Vectors is a Berkshire Hathaway style alternative investment and technology firm that acquires B2B SaaS companies and sets them on a path to improve capital and resource efficiency. The company primarily serves companies with ARR between $1M and $10M, and with client retention over 80%. Using its proprietary SaaS Machine Platform to run the sales, marketing, engineering and finance functions of a SaaS company, Basis Vectors delivers an operational platform and ecosystem, bringing bespoke capital and capabilities to improve efficiency and help truly transform the business. Headquartered in New York, and with offices in Silicon Valley, India and Ukraine, Basis Vectors partners with the founder or the leadership team to run the operations of the business. We are in it together.

VALENCIA, CALIF. (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
PercuSense, Inc., an intelligent biosensor and digital health company dedicated to improving healthcare through the use of multi-analyte sensor systems to predict and prevent disease progression, today announced it has been awarded funding from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) and the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to develop a continuous monitoring platform for early detection of toxic chemical exposure. PercuSense will leverage its continuous monitoring platform to create a field deployable on-body system capable of rapidly identifying chemical exposure and providing real time alerts to drive threat reduction measures and treatment interventions.
"We are grateful to be recognized by DTRA for our cutting-edge technology, our experienced team, and our history of solutions-oriented development," said Brian Kannard, CEO of PercuSense. "This award will support our mission to be the leading biosensor company, providing simple solutions to monitor critical biomarkers for a variety of diseases, environments, and conditions. This support will enable us to expand our sensing platform and make a positive impact on military service members and first responders with rapid identification of exposure to toxic chemicals."
The multi-year $4.6M contract will fund the development of a tailored system for military personnel and first responders. The award will help the company develop sensing electrodes formulated specifically to identify the consumption of toxins, such as nerve agents, opioids, and mustard agents.
The Defense Innovation Unit identifies commercial industry solutions to support the U.S. military, and through this process, the organization facilitated finding a new solution for detecting indicators of chemical exposure on behalf of DTRA.
"Since its founding, PercuSense has been focused on developing sensing technology aimed at continuously and simultaneously measuring physiological relevant molecules through a novel minimally invasive sensor system," said Rajiv Shah, Founder and Chairman of PercuSense. "We are thrilled to be collaborating with DTRA and DIU to leverage this technology to support development of a wearable sensor capable of detecting the early signs of toxic chemical exposure. The project is especially gratifying when looking at the opportunity to protect the men and women of the military who are tasked with protecting all of us."

Nine thousand PowerHitters have been seized by the US Customs and Border Control at the Washington State borders.

SEATTLE (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
The PowerHitter http://www.thepowerhitter.com, the iconic hand-operated smoking gadget popularized over the past four decades, was seized by US Customs and Border Protection in November 2019. Approximately $315,000 worth of inventory currently remains seized, The seizure - Case Number: 2020300200003401 - is currently being petitioned by The PowerHitter Company.
The PowerHitter was first created in the 70's and has become a 40 year old phenomenon, providing countless health and social benefits for smokers of all ages. The revolutionary product is globally known as the quickest and easiest way to extract the maximum potential from a smoke without mess or hazard.
The PowerHitter Company spokesman Allen Stein states, "In addition to state law protections, Medical Cannabis is protected from DEA enforcement in states where it is legal, and all Hemp/CBD is federally legal due to the 2018 Farm Act. This seizure could place the US Customs and Border Protection at odds with these laws and we would like to see our petition responded to."
Discovered and relaunched by Stein — a true fan of the product who was introduced to The PowerHitter in his college days, he searched for years to find it again. His company has taken the original classic design and updated it with modern materials to create the next generation of the ultimate smoking device. Since its inception, The PowerHitter has successfully prevented burns and fires by encasing today's pre-rolls (cannabis, CBD or tobacco) in its inner shell. Additionally, in this time where virus transmission and health concerns are top of mind, this device allows for a safer method of sharing a smoke with family and loved ones.
Deemed legally essential by over 15 states, cannabis and CBD are medically recommended for a large portion of the US population. Administered as a sleep aid, stress relief, and anti-anxiety relief, the essential plant derivatives are needed more than ever as people experience emotional extremes from the current global health and economic issues we're all faced with.
"This has not been an individual isolated problem, it is industry wide and something needs to be done, especially given the current medical need," adds Jared Mirsky of Seattle-based branding agency Wick & Mortar and longtime evangelist of The PowerHitter. "The data shows that more and more cannabis, CBD and tobacco have been a much needed essential for US citizens who need emotional relief as we deal with this global crisis. We need government action to increase smoking safety during this time to prevent further hazards."
Stein and The PowerHitter Company have done their best in attempting to weather the storm through creative means including their crowdfunding campaign which just ended at http://www.thepowerhitter.com and are thankful for the outpouring of support from the legal cannabis and hemp industry across the world.
ABOUT THE POWERHITTER:
Since the '70's, the PowerHitter has been known as the quickest and easiest way to extract the maximum potential from smoke. This classic design was updated by PowerHitter engineers with modern materials and some incredible tweaks creating the next generation of this ultimate smoking device.

The US Air Force has charged local companies with transforming units to operate more effectively and efficiently

DENVER (PRWEB) MAY 28, 2020
Four Denver-based companies won SBIR contracts in a recent round of tech innovation funding conducted by the US Air Force. The contracts, totaling a quarter of a million dollars in non-dilutive funding, represent the tip of the iceberg for these local companies' opportunity with the Department of Defense.
Greetly, Invictus Health, the Fluency Score and Link to Learn will each leverage their own "Phase I" SBIR contracts to unlock continued opportunities to bring private sector innovation to the DoD. Phase II funding, starting at $750,000 per contract, is only available to Phase I awardees. These awards also allow the Department of Defense to sign single-source contract with these innovators.
Beth McKeon, founder of The Fluency Score, explained how the SBIR opportunity has unfolded for her company: "Just a month into our Phase I AFWERX contract, we've started building relationships with an entirely new customer base within the Department of Defense that need The Fluency Score just like our private sector clients. And they are motivated to help startups succeed in the government environment."
Companies entering the world of government contracting through this "open innovation" call bring new solutions and the agility of the private sector to the DoD.
Also among these Denver startups, Invictus Health is a company founded by combat veterans to more effectively treat traumatic brain injuries, at a fraction of the cost of traditional treatments.
Greetly provides the only fully customizable visitor management system (VMS) in the world. The organization's digital receptionist app securely manages visiting customers, vendors, interview candidates, deliveries, facility tours and several other types of scheduled entries into facilities. The company offers the Air Force the ability to tailor Greetly's services to meet the agency's precise needs. "Our entire team is honored to have earned the SBIR contract and are proud the United States Air Force will leverage our VMS by utilizing our technology's unmatched customizable capability to advance the security of those entering and exiting government facilities and military posts," said Dave Milliken, Founder of Greetly.
Link to Learn's contract was awarded for their REAL (Realistic Enhanced Augmented Learning); a learning platform that delivers a "train like you fight" combat casualty care experience by merging hands-on cadaveric skills practice with augmented reality.
