Donation recognizing Blumencranz's significant contributions provides support as this innovative health care network responds to COVID-19

NEW YORK (PRWEB) MAY 21, 2020
NFP, a leading insurance broker and consultant that provides property and casualty (P&C), corporate benefits, retirement, and individual solutions, today announced its $1 million donation to Northwell Health. The donation, pledged at the end of 2019, honors Roger Blumencranz, managing director of BWD Sports and Entertainment (an NFP company), who remains a significant supporter of Northwell's mission to improve the health of the communities it serves. The announcement comes as Northwell delivers care in regions deeply affected by COVID-19.
NFP's donation also celebrates Blumencranz's 60th anniversary with BWD Sports and Entertainment, which NFP acquired in 2015. Blumencranz's remarkable contributions to Northwell Health include leading a campaign that raised $25 million to rebuild and expand the North Shore University Hospital Emergency Room. The Blumencranz family has also personally donated and raised several millions of dollars for the health system.
NFP and Northwell share a beneficial partnership. NFP's support helps Northwell continuously innovate and elevate their state-of-the-art facilities and services, ensuring NFP employees and clients, and their families, can rely on this health network and receive the care they need. This donation continues the partnership, providing support for innovations in the face of a global pandemic, as well as for the tens of thousands of employees whose courage and commitment make it possible for Northwell to care for patients each day. NFP is also planning to provide opportunities for employees and clients to support Northwell through various local and regional campaigns.
"The devotion Roger shows to Northwell Health is an inspiration. He leads by example in everything he does, doing outstanding work for NFP and his community, and it is fitting to honor him in a special way," said Doug Hammond, chairman and CEO of NFP. "While NFP has a strong history of supporting communities where we live and work, Roger always raises the bar, motivating us to get even more involved in ways that make a meaningful difference. The impact of his vision and actions continues to be seen in Northwell's consistent delivery of excellent care, especially in these challenging times."
Blumencranz has served as a member of the Northwell Board of Trustees since 1980, and also sits on the North Shore University Hospital Advisory Board. In 2014, Blumencranz was honored with the Nassau-Suffolk Hospital Council's Theodore Roosevelt Award, a prestigious annual award recognizing leaders who demonstrate an exceptional volunteer commitment to a member hospital.
"It's a labor of love," said Blumencranz. "Northwell Health feels like my second family. While I expect my own family and the NFP family will continue the legacy I have started, I still have a fire in me to support the future of their facilities and services in any way I can."

NEW YORK (PRWEB) MAY 21, 2020
Calero-MDSL, a leading provider of Technology Expense Management (TEM) and Market Data Management solutions, today announced that their Index License Manager (ILM) product has been named the Best FinTech Solution of 2020 as part of the annual SIIA CODiE Awards.

The ILM platform reduces manual processes for both the buy-side and sell-side, automates reporting capabilities and vendor declarations, improves cost allocation methodologies (e.g. to funds), and helps conform with recently enforced benchmark regulations and IOSCO's Principles for Financial Benchmarks. The centralized database contains index data licenses, benchmark licenses, reporting licenses, and all other index license types, with an intuitive user interface developed specifically for index license management. The result is an informed and complete holistic dashboard view of an organization's enterprise-wide licensing with all index providers.

Puerto Rico-based firm Gox Rising offers to buy out creditor claims from the now-defunct Mt. Gox Exchange

SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO (PRWEB) MAY 21, 2020
Gox Rising engages the international community of creditors of the Mt. Gox Estate with an offer to purchase claims from those creditors that do not wish to wait for the final outcome of the ongoing civil litigation.
Mt. Gox filed for bankruptcy in 2014 after losing more than 850,000 BTC due to theft and mismanagement. (Case Number: Tokyo District Court 2014 (fu) no. 3830) 200,000 BTC was later found in an old-format wallet. In 2018 Japanese courts changed the case from bankruptcy to a civil rehabilitation case, meaning creditors could now receive the missing bitcoin rather than the cash equivalent – approximately $451 US per BTC – at the time of the exchange's collapse.
Since that time, the progress of the case has been delayed several times and the outcome of the proceedings is still not resolved. The case could still be years from the final resolution. A trustee has been tasked with redistributing the remaining bitcoin, which has been delayed by a series of lawsuits brought against the Mt. Gox Estate.
"We recognize that some investors may not wish to wait any longer to see what the final resolution and payout will be and how much longer that payout will be delayed," said a Gox Rising spokesperson. "Each claim will need to be individually reviewed, but we are looking to offer $800 US per BTC claim. Gox Rising will pay that in Bitcoin, or in the fiat currency of the Creditor's choice. Our payment would be put in escrow and made within 10 business days of the claim transfer confirmation."
They continued, "We have also been investigating potential avenues for bringing better liquidity options to claim holders and any interested parties should reach out. We look forward to conversations irrespective of claim size."
If you are interested in liquidity options on your Mt. Gox claim, contact us at creditors(at)goxrising(dot)com.
Additional information on Gox Rising can be found on the Gox Rising website at http://www.goxrising.com
About Gox Rising Limited:
Gox Rising Limited is a corporation incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. Its mission is to support creditors of the Mt. Gox Estate in maximizing their recoveries.
For more information please contact media(at)goxrising(dot)com

We recognize that some investors may not wish to wait any longer to see what the final resolution and payout will be and how much longer that payout will be delayed. Each claim will need to be individually reviewed, but we are looking to offer $800 US per BTC claim.

Rapid Application Group leads collaboration to enable thousands of FDA approved devices produced using additive manufacturing

BROKEN ARROW, OKLA. (PRWEB) MAY 21, 2020
Rapid Application Group (RAG), in collaboration with FlightSafety International and Newton Design, responded in mid-March 2020 to deliver thousands of critical Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) devices to local first responders and healthcare teams in Oklahoma.
Pivoting rapidly from their usual aerospace production work, the three companies teamed together to start production of face shields and masks using additive manufacturing. Working with healthcare providers and the FDA, the team at RAG were able to create approved designs within 3 weeks and the three started production of face shields and masks immediately using additive manufacturing with Class VI materials. Producing hundreds of parts a day, the three companies have produced and delivered more than 5,000 parts, with thousands of orders yet to fulfill.
"Terry, Jason and the team at RAG truly exemplify the Oklahoma Standard" said Oklahoma Secretary of Commerce, Sean Kouplen. "Their desire and ability to quickly adapt their business model so they could help our health care workers and citizens of Oklahoma is remarkable. When you put your company and livelihood on the line to help save lives, you are a real hero in my book."
FlightSafety International, a manufacturer of critical flight simulation systems, stepped up to the challenge from its Tulsa, OK plant by offering additional additive manufacturing platforms to help the effort.
"We felt we had to assist what the team at Rapid Application Group had started," said Mike Halsey, Director of Manufacturing and Material Management, at the FlightSafety's Simulation facility in Broken Arrow. "This is a crisis like no other and we realized that Oklahoma's manufacturers were ideally positioned to help."
Newton Design, also a supplier of flight simulation and training systems, also volunteered when they heard what the RAG team were doing. Donating use of their SLS additive systems, they quickly verified the machines and materials and started production of the PPE devices.
"When we heard the call, we felt we had to respond," said Jeff Newton, President, Newton Design. "The work between the three teams has been remarkable in its ability to rapidly produce PPE devices that are in desperate need."
As the teams step forward with 24/7 production using additive manufacturing, they are also preparing tooling for increased production through injection molding.
"Additive is perfect for rapid production without having to wait for tooling," commented Jason Dickman, COO, Rapid Application Group. "But we are going to use all the tools and production technologies available to us to make sure the need is met."
As the team ramped up, it was also assisted by companies such as EOS, an additive manufacturing vendor, which donated critical materials for the teams to use.
"We really couldn't have got to the production phase so quickly without the help of these incredible companies," said Terry Hill, CEO, Rapid Application Group. "We are all doing 24/7 production to fill the need and protect our healthcare and first responder teams and will continue until the work is done."
Healthcare and first responders can find out more about obtaining the PPE devices at: https://rapidapplicationgroup.com/covid-ppe-production/

Industrial Magnetics, Inc. has developed a new, hands-free door opener to help prevent the spread of germs and bacteria by allowing users to pull open a door using their forearm, wrist or elbow.

BOYNE CITY, MICH. (PRWEB) MAY 21, 2020
In response to the Coronavirus pandemic, Industrial Magnetics, Inc.(IMI) has developed the Arm-Pull, a hands-free door opener that allows users to open swing-style doors without using their hands or fingertips.
The new Arm-Pull attaches to latch-less, swing-style doors and allows people to pull the door open using their forearm, wrist or elbow when entering or exiting a room.
Perfect for public restrooms, retail stores, office buildings, and shop floors, the product can be used on metal or wood doors using the magnetic or through-hole mounting options. The product is constructed from heavy duty, stainless-steel as a one piece, laser-cut and precision formed unit for durability and performance.
The company has also devised a way for the Arm-Pull to work on latching doors with lever-style handles by incorporating their "J-Hook" magnetic assembly. The J-hook product holds the door handle in the open position, converting the door into a "latch-less" style that can now be used in conjunction with the Arm-Pull.
The Arm-Pull builds on the success of the company's previously released door opener, the Foot-Pull, which attaches to the bottom of a door and allows people to use the sole of their shoe to pull the door inward.
For a video, images, and additional information on these products, please visit the Arm-Pull / Foot-Pull Door Opener webpage, or contact an IMI product specialist at 800.662.4638.

First Aid Global Advises Caution As Business Begins To Reopen

TARZANA, CALIF. (PRWEB) MAY 21, 2020
In today's news cycle we often hear things that only lead to confusion. Whether or not to wear masks; to touch or shake hands with others; to avoid restaurants, movie theaters, concerts, sporting events or schools; or to lock yourself away in your home and get comfortable with your Netflix, AppleTV+, YoutubeTV or Prime Video subscriptions. But as things begin to return to normal Americans will still feel the effects of continuing transmission and bad news during this current health crisis.
"The best advice we can give is for people to stay vigilant, especially when it comes to making yourself vulnerable to disease transmission," says Todd West, co-owner of First Aid Global LLC in Tarzana, CA. His company, 'First Aid Global' supplies Personal Protective Equipment and has been warning of supply shortages for years. "The best time to prepare is obviously before a particular disaster and not when everybody else is buying or hoarding and depleting supplies. We look forward to putting current times behind us so that we can all go back to normal production."
"Stay safe our there," West says. "Think about the safety of your loved ones and those Americans who have compromising health problems as you visit restaurants and other businesses that are now opening."

The Barrett Edge (TBE), a private investment firm focused on providing growth capital and strategic oversight to companies experiencing accelerated growth, is pleased to announce that TBE has secured financing to fund the next growth stage for OfficeMart

FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
The Barrett Edge (TBE), a private investment firm focused on providing growth capital and strategic oversight to companies experiencing accelerated growth, is pleased to announce that TBE has secured financing to fund the next growth stage for OfficeMart, a provider of over 70,000 discount office supplies and business supplies.
With the onset of the novel coronavirus called COVID-19, OfficeMart is experiencing high demand for personal protection equipment (PPE), including masks, gloves, hand sanitizer and sanitizer wipes to help prevent the spread of the virus. The new capital will assist OfficeMart in filling these orders.
"It has been difficult securing capital because most lending sources for small-to-medium size businesses have been extremely risk averse. We are ecstatic to have been introduced to The Barrett Edge because they provided a facility line to fund our explosive growth, as we project to generate over $25 million in revenue in the coming months. This allows us to keep expanding our operations, even during a time of crisis," commented Jason Angel, CEO at OfficeMart.
"During these challenging times we have the economic resources and are able to bear the financial risk to deliver financing to successful companies who thrive in the face of adversity," said Barrrett Ehrlich, CEO and founder of TBE. "We are glad to be a part of the OfficeMart story in growing their business during the coronavirus pandemic."
If your company is undergoing expansion and in need of capital to support that growth, we have funding that you can take advantage of to meet your demand. To learn more how we can help, contact Andrew Klips, TBE Managing Director, at andrew@thebarrettedge.com. Let us be part of your success.

Cross Company Robotics and Machine Automation announced that they are now an exclusive distributor for AIRSKIN, an innovative product from Blue Danube that allows almost any robot to work collaboratively with humans.

GASTONIA, N.C. (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
Cross Company Robotics and Machine Automation announced that they are now an exclusive distributor for AIRSKIN, an innovative product from Blue Danube that allows almost any robot to work collaboratively with humans.
"We are so excited to bring this product to our customers," remarked Cross Automation Group President, Lynn Crump. "This technology allows us to make applications with larger payloads collaborative, which wouldn't have been possible in the past."
AIRSKIN is a series of soft, thin, and flexible pads that cover the surface of a robot or linear actuator. Each pad is filled with air that senses changes in pressure when it comes in contact with something in its environment. The small pressure change caused by the contact triggers an emergency stop to prevent injury. It is important to note that some robotic applications will never be collaborative due to the nature of the process; however, when installed correctly AIRSKIN meets ISO 15066 requirements for a collaborative robot.
In addition to making industrial robots collaborative, AIRSKIN can also improve the efficiency of collaborative robots, such as those made by Universal Robots. Because of the added layer of protection, there is less force on contact which allows collaborative robots to move faster than typically permitted to meet collaborative guidelines.
"Blue Danube Robotics is proud to have Cross Company as a strong distribution and integration partner for AIRSKIN in the southeastern region of the United States", said Johannes Marktl, Head of Sales at Blue Danube Robotics. Cross Company is an exclusive distributor for AIRSKIN in the Southeastern US, including Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi.
About Cross Company
Cross Company is a 100% employee-owned industrial solutions company that is innovating the industrial world, one customer at a time. The company was founded in Greensboro, North Carolina in 1954 and has over 650 associates and 20 locations throughout the Southeast and Midwest. Cross specializes in robotics and machine automation, industrial measurement and calibration, process flow and safety technologies, process control integration, industrial and hydraulic hoses & fittings, and as an original equipment supplier in the mobile vehicle systems integration industry. Cross Company's corporate headquarters remain in Greensboro, NC and it has major facilities in Knoxville, TN, Belmont, NC, Whitsett, NC and Oklahoma City, OK.
About AIRSKIN
AIRSKIN is produced by Blue Danube Robotics, based in Vienna, Austria. Blue Danube Robotics focuses on safe human-robot collaboration in mass production. The Austrian company produces safety solutions for robots, cobots and end-of-arm-tooling (EOAT). These make robots safe for humans and thus efficient for enterprises. Benefits for customers are cost efficiency, higher productivity, and simplified risk analysis.

Licensing (also known as Franchise Lite) is one of the best ways to expand a company quickly across the nation and make it far more profitable. SOURCE: Brennan Tolman Media

LEHI, UTAH (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
In just six months, Brennan Tolman & Nik Krohn took their company from being completely out of cash to worth over $4 Million through licensing.
Licensing, also known as Franchise-Lite is one of the best ways to expand a company quickly across the nation and make it far more profitable. After spending years building their wedding company Tolman Media, Brennan & Nik had developed an airtight system to book weddings then assign them to contractors at the benefit of the bride. Tolman Media shot over 2% of all weddings in Utah in 2019, and Brennan & Nik were looking to expand their reach into all 50 states. However they had no desire to work in a big office space with 30+ employees (which national expansion would have required).
They decided instead to try to license out their business systems they had built to other entrepreneurs, allowing them to use all the softwares, tools, and sales systems they had invented to open up different states around the nation. At first the entrepreneurs buying the license were skeptical, but within just one month they questioned the power of the Tolman Media system no more.
Six months later, all US territories were sold out to over 68 entrepreneurs who wanted in. Each of their territories were already profitable, booking 2-4 weddings per month. Brennan & Nik had successfully created a system in which everyone wins: Licensee, Their Managers, Their Photographers & Videographers & of course the brides who were all able to receive this amazing service across the nation.
Now, Brennan & Nik have teamed up again to create an online course called The Licensing Lifestyle. This course will teach entrepreneurs how to take their business to the next level through licensing.

Minh will drive the medical center's communications and marketing strategies, and lead the Foundation's community engagement and philanthropic efforts to support quality healthcare on Catalina Island.

AVALON, CALIF. (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
Catalina Island Medical Center (CIMC) and Catalina Island Medical Center Foundation (CIMCF) are pleased to announce the appointment of Tina Minh to the position of Chief Communications and Development Officer.
A California native and graduate of the University of Southern California, Ms. Minh brings successful experience as a frontline fundraiser for several major California institutions, including USC, UCLA, UCI and Hoag Hospital. With more than a decade of experience in these demanding environments, Ms. Minh joined CIMC in February 2020 at a critical moment in its history, during this unprecedented and challenging time amidst the unfolding COVID-19 global pandemic.
Prior to the COVID-19 crisis, CIMC and CIMCF have been working on creating funding support to build a new hospital on land that was gifted for the purpose by the Catalina Island Company in June, 2019. This new hospital would ensure quality healthcare access on the island, and meet the rapidly developing needs of its residents and patients. The decision to build a new hospital was born out of compliance with the California Hospital Association Seismic Safety mandate, whereby all California hospitals must operate from facilities that are deemed earthquake-safe by 2030, or be ordered to close. Serving in her role as Chief Communications and Development Officer, Ms. Minh will drive the medical center's communications and marketing strategies, and lead the Foundation's community engagement and philanthropic efforts to support quality healthcare on Catalina Island.
"It's a great honor to serve Catalina Island, and champion support for excellent patient and critical care," says Ms. Minh. "The urgency is real; CIMC's current facility has been deemed seismically deficient and cannot withstand an earthquake. This is unsafe for our patients, providers and employees. Patients deserve access to quality healthcare in a safe facility. Our talented providers and staff equally deserve to work in a safe and modern environment equipped with the adequate resources to practice medicine and deliver the best patient experience. CIMC's continued existence is essential to the overall health and wellness of Catalina Island, critical to its ability to attend to medical emergencies 365, 24 seven, and support the local economy. I look forward to partnering with our Island community and loyal visitors to help protect the health and wellness of our residents, and safeguard critical care access for all who live, work and visit Catalina Island. CIMC's aspirations are to build a new safe and modern hospital that ensures this for generations to come."
As Avalon's only hospital, Catalina Island Medical Center serves the medical needs of Santa Catalina Island's 4,000 residents as well as the more than one million visitors who travel to Catalina each year.

"I look forward to partnering with our Island community and loyal visitors to help protect the health and wellness of our residents, and safeguard critical care access for all who live, work and visit Catalina Island."--Tina Minh

American Police Officers Alliance, a political grassroots organization, received over 20,000 unique signatures on their Civilian Oversight Boards petition in just the first quarter of 2020. Along with the petition, the American Police Officers Alliance has also provided a number of free resources for civilians that want to learn more about oversight boards.

ARLINGTON, VA. (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
American Police Officers Alliance, a political grassroots organization based in Arlington, Virginia, received over 20,000 unique signatures on their petition against Civilian Oversight Boards in just the first quarter of 2020. American Police Officers Alliance is committed to defending strong police leadership and interests in our nation's cities and work to elect officials who will stand up for our police force. One of the key issues they are focused on this year is police oversight boards, also called civilian oversight boards, accountability boards, oversight commissions, and a variety of other names.
The organization launched this petition to gather signatures of supporters all over the country that agree on the harm of police oversight boards. "There is too much opportunity for bias and politics on these oversight boards. Most of the boards that have been commissioned do not require any background in justice or law enforcement. The people that are elected to these boards could be blatantly anti-police, and there are no restrictions on letting them serve even though there is a clear conflict of interest," Executive Director Daniel Stuebs explained. "Our police officers already have a lot of red tape around doing their jobs effectively, and they are treated like political pawns by elected officials. Oversight boards, at least the way they are now, provide little to no value and only increase the difficulty officers face."
The petition is ongoing, and the organization expects even more signatures over the next few months. Mr. Stuebs stated that "It is great to see that pro-police supporters across the nation understand the issues these oversight boards cause and are willing to stand up to defend our officers against these political tools." Along with the petition, the American Police Officers Alliance has also provided a number of free resources for civilians that want to learn more about oversight boards. For more information, visit https://www.policeoversightboardfacts.com/.
To sign the petition, visit https://americanpoliceofficersalliance.com/petitions/antifa-controlling-police/
American Police Officers Alliance is a national political organization organized under Section 527 of the IRS Tax Code. Contributions made to American Police Officers Alliance are not tax-deductible. Not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee.

"It is great to see that pro-police supporters across the nation understand the issues these oversight boards cause and are willing to stand up to defend our officers against these political tools."

9Gauge Partners is one of the highest-scoring businesses, with standout employee engagement

AUSTIN, TEXAS (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
9Gauge Partners LLC has been named to Inc. magazine's annual list of the Best Workplaces for 2020. Inc.com features a list of American companies that have created exceptional workplaces through vibrant cultures, deep employee engagement, and stellar benefits.
9Gauge believes maintaining a strong culture is paramount to their success. Their values drive every action from hiring new 9Gaugers to building new client relationships. What makes 9Gauge different from other consulting firms is the continuous multi-faceted relationship with their clients' executive leadership. 9Gauge has helped over 400 clients with business planning, process development and optimization, and operational execution.
Collecting data from more than 3,000 submissions, Inc. singled out 389 finalists for this year's list. Each nominated company took part in an employee survey, conducted by Quantum Workplace, on topics including trust, management effectiveness, perks, and confidence in the future. Inc. gathered, analyzed, and audited the data. Then they ranked all the employers using a composite score of survey results.
The strongest engagement scores came from companies that prioritize the most human elements of work. These companies are leading the way in employee recognition, performance management, and diversity. It is a different playbook from a decade ago, when too many firms used the same template: free food, open work environments, and artifacts of "fun."
"9Gauge's culture is much more than perks, benefits and entertainment...it's about a caring, trusting and collaborative spirit that permeates everything we do. Our culture starts and ends with our 9Gaugers who embody an unrelenting passion for genuine relationships with our clients, strategic partners and their colleagues. I love the fact that this award is a simple affirmation of the culture we 9Gaugers live and embrace together daily!" says Brian White, Founder and Managing Partner at 9Gauge.
"Building a great corporate culture comes only from strong leadership," says Inc. magazine editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. "The companies on Inc.'s Best Workplaces list are setting an example that the whole country can learn from, especially now, when company culture is more important to the workforce than ever."
While researching the finalists, Inc. and Quantum saw distinct themes:

    100 percent provide health insurance

    50 percent allow employees to bring pets to work

    62 percent take employees to offsite retreats to relax and recharge

    20 percent offer paid sabbaticals to reward length of service

Longtime restaurateur and owner/operator of Salt Creek Grille restaurants explains why he decided to open for take-out after a two-month closure

ALLENHURST, N.J. (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
Customers have been patiently waiting for Salt Creek Grille in Rumson, New Jersey to reopen after the statewide lockdown forced them to close their doors two months ago. While some other restaurants have continued serving customers throughout the shutdown with take-out and delivery services, owner/operator, Steve Bidgood was hesitant to proceed. "I was concerned for the safety of my employees, for the safety of my management team, for the safety of my guests," said Bidgood. "I didn't think that it was going to be this long, so I decided I was going to hold off and see what was going to transpire." Following sixty days of cleaning and preparing, Salt Creek Grille started its business engine.
After 48 years in the restaurant industry, Steve Bidgood has seen his fair share of bumps in the road when it comes to operating a restaurant. He is also the co-owner of Salt Creek Grille establishments in Princeton, New Jersey as well as three California locations in Dana Point, Valencia and El Segundo. All restaurants, except Princeton and Dana Point have reopened for take-out and delivery only. "We started last Wednesday on May 6th and our guests have been so excited to see and get a little of the Salt Creek Grill food," said Bidgood. Guests will now have to enjoy their signature grilled pork chop, coffee-rubbed NY strip steak and lobster bisque via curbside pickup or DoorDash delivery – a very different view from eating in the Rumson, New Jersey restaurant's 200 seat dining room overlooking the Navesink River. The restaurant also accommodates an additional 150 guests in their downstairs banquet facility and large outdoor dining area.
At a time when business is usually going strong with Christenings and Mother's Day brunches, Bidgood had to reluctantly cancel numerous parties scheduled for the coming months. "The cost of doing business has increased so much," said Bidgood. "You still have these fixed costs. They're not going away because we're closed. They are still there. The cost of doing business in our industry has really changed." Bidgood is grateful for the assistance all five of his restaurants have received from the federal government, but he is trying to distribute the money sparingly. "There's so many restaurants that can't open right now that are in the same situation as we are that they can't spend it," said Bidgood. "It they spend it now then there won't be any left to spend on the employees when you do [reopen]."
Typically operating 365 days a year, Bidgood is eager to open up the doors after such a long hiatus. "By us, opening up to-go right now, it's definitely helping people," said Bidgood. Modifications the restaurant has put in place to prepare for reopening include: sanitizing the entire restaurant; supplying every staff member with gloves and masks; as well as formulating a special take-out menu available on their website at https://saltcreekgrille.com/. When asked if he would feel comfortable dining at a restaurant during the global pandemic, Bidgood is confident he can be safe while doing so. "Me personally, I have gloves in my car. I have masks in my car. I'm going to be out there," said Bidgood. However, the restaurateur does believe the uncertainty of when complete normalcy will return will cause banquet facilities to suffer the most given the planning and advanced booking that the business requires. "I think it's going to be a good year before it is going to be back to confidence in going out," said Bidgood. "[Hurricane] Sandy, we had answers. The storm came, did its damage and left. This, we don't know the answers. We're all going to have to use our minds and new thought processes to survive."
Although it may be a few months before parties can resume, one gathering Bidgood is looking forward to the most is his annual charity fundraiser. Each year, about 150 guests gather at Salt Creek Grille in Rumson, New Jersey to support a different children's charity chosen by the restaurateur. With generous donations from purveyors and local businesses of assortments of food and wine, 100 percent of the proceeds are donated directly to the charity. The successful event has occurred the last 15 years and raised over one million dollars. This year, the charity being honored is the Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children in Monmouth County, a non-profit organization created to advocate for abused and neglected children. "It's my way of giving back to the community in a big part," said Bidgood. The event originally scheduled for April has been postponed until October.
After two long months away from his customers who he considers family and friends, Bidgood can't wait to be reunited at the bar once again. "The most important thing to me is that they stay safe and they come back," said Bidgood. "Twenty-two years here, I've seen a lot of kids grow up. I've seen a lot of families. I've had so many regular guests. To me, I miss them."

Compare-autoinsurance.org (https://compare-autoinsurance.org/) announces a new blog post, "Drivers Can Get Cheaper Car Insurance If They Install Telematics."

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that presents the advantages and disadvantages of usage-based car insurance programs.
For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/drivers-can-get-cheaper-car-insurance-if-they-install-telematics/
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the lives of all Americans. Given the current situation, most Americans are doing their best to save money. Nowadays, more and more drivers are switching to usage-based insurance programs. The surge in popularity for usage-based car insurance policies in this period is not surprising. Drivers who were affected by the current crisis can save money on their car insurance if they switch to a usage-based program.
UBI insurance is a relatively new type of insurance. It relies on data transmitted by onboard devices. After analyzing the data, insurance companies will re-evaluate the risk profile of a client and adjust rates. These are UBI's main features and benefits:

As the name suggests, UBI rates rely on the way the driver uses his car. More exactly, rates will fluctuate depending when and where it drivers, how it takes curves, how he brakes, maximum speed and other related parameters.

UBI policies have become popular in the recent years. It is a top choice for people considering themselves good drivers. Safe drivers who want to keep their premiums low or even lower them can always talk with their insurance providers and check for available UBI programs.

Many insurance providers are offering discounts for using telematics. Telematics are devices that track the driver's behavior, allowing the insurance company to provide a customized quote based on the driver's measured risk factor. Insurers like Allstate or Progressive are offering discounts of at least 5% just for agreeing to install a telematics device. However, drivers who have a very low measured risk factor can get a discount of up to 40% or 50%. Drivers who drive fewer miles than average drivers, or drive outside of busy rush hour traffic, might be considered to have a lower risk factor.

UBI insurance provides several financial benefits. If the driver meets the insurer's expectations, he will be greatly rewarded. Drivers will have access to customized rates that will lower the insurance costs.

Tips on improving driving skills. Another advantage is the instant feedback that a driver receives after data is analyzed. This will help driver understand his mistakes and improve his driving habits.

Recover stolen vehicles. Since UBI policies rely on installed tracking devices, once the insurer is notified that the car is stolen, it can access the device and pinpoint the location.

Community Lending Key to Main Street Recovery

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
Amid the coronavirus pandemic, the National Women's Business Council (NWBC) remains focused on carrying out its critical mission of advocating for the nation's 13 million women-owned businesses. The Council recognizes the ongoing commitment of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) in ensuring women business owners have access to opportunities to start and grow their business, and in times of crisis, to keep their business afloat. Smaller, community lenders have undoubtedly been at the forefront of providing business owners with the capital they need to keep their employees on payroll and sustain overhead costs.
For that reason, NWBC Wednesday hosted a webinar titled 'Community Lending Key to Main Street Recovery: Resources and Lessons Learned for Female Founders.' The webinar included guest speakers Jill Castilla, President and CEO of Citizens Bank of Edmond in Oklahoma and NWBC Council Member Jessica Flynn, Founder & CEO of Red Sky, a strategic communications firm in Boise, Idaho.
Jessica shared her experience successfully applying for the Payroll Protection Program (PPP) through a community bank in Idaho. As a result, she was able to continue operations and keep her 10 employees on payroll during the pandemic.
Jill shared how she is leading the way in community lending, processing 450 PPP loans that supported local small businesses. Her commitment to breaking down barriers for women and minority small business owners has improved their ability to access capital and provided a model for other community lenders around the country.
"Saving small businesses and the jobs they support is my top priority as SBA Administrator. In the seven weeks after launching the PPP, we've rolled out over half a trillion in forgivable loans to more than 4.4 million small businesses and nonprofits," said Administrator Jovita Carranza. "I remain committed to helping every small business owner – especially our minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned and other entrepreneurs serving disadvantaged communities – not just survive this difficult time, but make it out the other side stronger and ready to expand."
"Women-owned businesses are truly the engine driving our national economy and small banks and community lenders are the lifelines they need to stay afloat during this pandemic," said NWBC Chair Liz Sara. "We are encouraged that the SBA has prioritized smaller lenders in its implementation of the second round of CARES Act funding and look forward to working with them to continue to broaden the pool of capital access options for women."
"Community banks are outperforming all other financial institutions in helping women-owned and minority-owned small businesses access resources to keep their doors open and be prepared for the return of the American economy," said Jill Castilla, president and CEO of Citizens Bank of Edmond. "It is critical for our institutions to reach out to underserved communities and to stand in the gap as accessible and knowledge partners in pursuing these critical SBA resources."
NWBC and SBA remain committed to working together to ensure that women-owned businesses continue to have increased opportunities to access to capital, particularly as they navigate this pandemic. Keeping women-owned enterprises open for business is our shared priority.
About SBA: Created in 1953, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) continues to help small business owners and entrepreneurs pursue the American dream. The SBA is the only cabinet-level federal agency fully dedicated to small business and provides counseling, capital, and contracting expertise as the nation's only go-to resource and voice for small businesses.
About NWBC: The National Women's Business Council (NWBC), is an independent, non-partisan federal advisory committee established to provide advice and policy recommendations to the President, Congress, and the Administrator of the SBA.

Kongsberg Geospatial, Larus Technologies and CASARA are working on a new project funded by Public Safety Canada to develop new procedures for using UAS to assist Search and Rescue efforts in remote communities in Canada.

OTTAWA, ONTARIO (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
Kongsberg Geospatial, developer of the TerraLens Geospatial SDK, and Larus Technologies of Ottawa, Canada, and the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association of Canada (CASARA), announced today that they have been selected by Public Safety Canada to integrate geospatial software, artificial intelligence, and machine vision software to help develop new methods for the use of drones in search and rescue operations in remote communities in Canada.
The project will be funded by the Search and Rescue New Initiatives Fund (SAR NIF), and has been dubbed OVERSEE – an acronym for "Optical Vision Enhancement and Refinement of Sensor Exploitation Effectiveness". The OVERSEE project is intended to help address the unique challenges of conducting search and rescue operations in remote areas (such as indigenous communities in the Arctic and their immediate surrounding area) with UAS platforms.
OVERSEE will initially employ available search and rescue statistics from the Department of National Defence, CASARA, Transport Canada and other agencies and execute simulations driven by Artificial Intelligence. The AI will use Deep Learning techniques to investigate how BVLOS regulation effects SAR efforts that make use of drones, and how drones have been integrated most effectively in search and rescue operations, particularly for isolated indigenous communities in Canada's North that don't have quick access to Aeronautical search and rescue assets
Ultimately the goal of this research is to help CASARA members and GSAR (Ground Search and Rescue) workers use BVLOS drones more effectively in search and rescue operations.
Kongsberg Geospatial will be leading the project, contributing their expertise in precision mapping, Air Traffic Management, and the development of multi-vehicle UAS control stations for BVLOS missions to help develop tools and procedures for the safe, effective use of drones for search and rescue missions in remote areas. They will also be contributing tools and training for machine vision techniques.
Larus Technologies specializes in Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems for defence applications, and will be contributing their Total::Perception simulation engine and Total::Vision computer vision technology to the project.
CASARA will be helping to gather drone video from training exercises throughout Canada in cooperation with its volunteers, as well as search and rescue event statistics from community organizations. Upon completion of the project, CASARA membership will help to circulate the SOPs derived from the project to their membership of Civil Air Search and Rescue workers and volunteers across Canada to ensure that everyone has access to the improved UAS SAR guidance.
While the project is primarily funded through Public Safety Canada's SAR NIF fund, all three partners will be making in-kind contributions in software licenses, technology, and professional services.
"I feel that this initiative by Kongsberg Geospatial has the potential to enhance our organization's ability to provide timely and effective SAR (Search and Rescue) assistance", said Frank Schuurmans, President of CASARA. "We look forward to working closely with Kongsberg Geospatial, Larus Technologies and DND on this project by providing SAR consultation for all requested phases, providing information and research dissemination through our existing communication channels, and by seeking volunteers from within our organization to participate in Computer Vision training activities."
Kongsberg Geospatial president, Ranald McGillis, said that the project team hopes to help make a meaningful contribution to search and rescue operations in remote and aboriginal communities. "We and our partners believe that this project can help search and rescue volunteers save lives in isolated communities by using inexpensive, off-the-shelf drones to conduct searches until the Canadian Air Force or other aeronautical assets can join the search. We also hope to increase survival rates by showcasing how drone systems can be augmented with Computer Vision systems for improved performance."
The OVERSEE project is expected to be completed some time in 2021.

MedMark Amherst offers medication-assisted treatment with methadone or buprenorphine and substance use counseling.

AMHERST, OHIO (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
BayMark Health Services has announced the opening of MedMark Treatment Centers Amherst, further expanding access to opioid use disorder (OUD) services across Ohio. Located at 530 N. Leavitt Road, just about 30 minutes west of Cleveland, MedMark Amherst is now accepting new patients. Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, safety precautions are in place to safely admit those in need of treatment for opioid addiction.
MedMark Amherst will provide medically-supervised, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), utilizing methadone or buprenorphine, as well as substance use counseling and support services. MAT has been proven to be the most effective treatment for opioid addiction, and offers hope to those suffering across the state of Ohio.
David K. White, Ph.D., CEO of BayMark Health Services shared, "The COVID-19 pandemic and opioid crisis have intersected, and Ohio is experiencing significant impact from both. BayMark has opened three locations in Ohio this year, in addition to the four in 2019, ensuring that as many people as possible have access to effective opioid treatment."
Ohio has been at the heart of the opioid crisis for the past few years as overdose numbers have continued to rise, especially with the recent surge of heroin and fentanyl use. Both are illicit opioids and both are deadly, but fentanyl is more than 50x stronger than heroin, and is becoming more and more common across the state. In response to community need for opioid addiction treatment services in Ohio, MedMark Amherst is the 7th BayMark-owned clinic to open. In addition, BayMark operates three outpatient, office-based opioid treatment (OBOT) programs in Ohio offering in-office clinician appointments, prescription for buprenorphine/Suboxone which can be filled at the local pharmacy, supported by counseling services and other psychosocial interventions to support recovery. These programs offer a proven alternative to residential or abstinence-based treatment models for OUD.
Medication-assisted treatment reduces the symptoms of opioid withdrawal and cravings, paving the way for patients to focus on addressing the causes and consequences of their addiction and supporting them to regain stability in their lives. In addition to medication MedMark provides addiction education, relapse prevention, lab testing, coordinated care for pregnant women and linkages to community resources to assist patients on their path to recovery.
To inquire about admission or make a referral, contact Michelle Richards, Treatment Center Director, at 440.328.4213 or visit http://www.medmark.com.
About BayMark Health Services:
BayMark Health Services provides medication-assisted treatment to 53,000+ patients in recovery from substance use disorder across the United States and Canada. Our outpatient programs deliver medically-supervised treatment, in a variety of modalities and settings, to meet the diverse needs of our patients who struggle with the use of opioids, alcohol and other prescription and illicit substances.
The BayMark continuum of patient-focused services includes: highly structured opioid treatment programs utilizing methadone or buprenorphine and outpatient buprenorphine treatment programs, both of which incorporate counseling as part of an individualized treatment plan for opioid use disorder. Additionally, ambulatory withdrawal management services with naltrexone therapy, and inpatient detoxification services are offered for a variety of substance use disorders.

SAN DIEGO (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
PetDesk is making its telemedicine technology, live Video Chat powered by Twilio, available to all customers free for three months thanks to Twilio's Video Boost Program. Launched in early April to PetDesk customers through a beta program, integrated Video Chat has been able to provide flexibility during a time when veterinary clients stay at home and clinics accommodate innovative ways to extend access to care.    
"The past six weeks have proven our telemedicine technology allows clinics customization and the flexibility to securely connect with their clients no matter where they are each located. We accelerated the launch of Video Chat to help customers during this critical time and the Video Boost Program makes the technology even more accessible with three free months of service," said Taylor Cavanah, CEO of PetDesk. "We are thrilled that Twilio's program dedicated to supporting healthcare, education and non-profit sectors during COVID-19 includes the essential work of veterinarians."
With secure Video Chat integrated into the PetDesk platform, clinics now have a secure option for both synchronous and asynchronous communication. With everything contained in a single dashboard, it makes it easy for staff to manage workflows, including scheduling appointments. PetDesk's Virtual Care options, Two-Way Messaging and Video Chat, allow customers to choose what is best for their patient and client. With the average American spending 5.7 hours a day on their phone and many millennials spending an average of 58 minutes a day texting, clients are already using a convenient communication option that will allow you to connect with them - their cellphone. Being able to launch a Video Chat right from the PetDesk Mobile Health App provides an easy experience for the client and a seamless process for the clinic. Rapid adoption of PetDesk's Two-Way Messaging continues and today three times as many customers are using Two-Way and messages sent per clinic are up 100% vs. prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since the beta program started a few weeks ago, clinics have been using secure Video Chat to continue delivering top-notch care while meeting social distancing guidelines from the CDC and AVMA. Average appointment times are 26 minutes and use cases during the COVID-19 pandemic have included: doctors working from home, curbside appointments while allowing clients to watch the patient's in-clinic exam, and pets being evaluated from the comfort of their home to keep high-risk pet parents safe. "Video Chat has enabled us to connect with clients in the exam room while we are working with curbside only appointments. Nothing can replace the personal interaction, but having them see and hear us in real time has been a game changer," said Elizabeth Chapman DVM, owner Just Cats Clinic.
PetDesk customers can easily implement Video Chat thanks to PetDesk's customized onboarding and training services. Learn more at petdesk.com. For free resources about implementing veterinary telemedicine tools and offer details, visit the PetDesk blog.

Newly enhanced Text-to-Apply allows clients to more easily engage with their next top performers.

BOSTON (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
ClearCompany, the premier talent management platform for talent acquisition, employee engagement, performance management, and planning and analytics, today announced the release of Text-to-Apply.

Designation Recognizes Dr. Seskin's Commitment to Exemplary Care, Extensive UroLift System Experience

PLEASANTON, CALIF. (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
NeoTract, a wholly owned subsidiary of Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX) focused on addressing unmet needs in the field of urology, today announced that Floyd Seskin, M.D., Seskin Urology in Aventura, FL, has been designated as a UroLift Center of Excellence. The designation recognizes that Dr. Seskin has achieved a high level of training and experience with the UroLift System and demonstrated a commitment to exemplary care for men suffering from symptoms associated with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also known as enlarged prostate.
Recommended for the treatment of BPH in both the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology clinical guidelines, the FDA-cleared Prostatic Urethral Lift procedure using the UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive technology for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to BPH. The UroLift permanent implants, delivered during a transurethral outpatient procedure, relieve prostate obstruction and open the urethra directly without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue.
The UroLift Center of Excellence program is designed to highlight urologists who are committed to educating their patients on BPH and the UroLift System as a treatment option and consistently seek to deliver excellent patient outcomes and experiences.
"We are proud to name Dr. Floyd Seskin as a UroLift Center of Excellence and provider of care for men with enlarged prostate symptoms using the UroLift System treatment," said Dave Amerson, president of the Teleflex Interventional Urology business unit. "The UroLift System is a safe and effective treatment that allows physicians to treat men in-office under local anesthesia, so they can experience lasting symptom relief within days after receiving treatment."
Over 40 million men in the United States are affected by BPH, a condition that occurs when the prostate gland that surrounds the male urethra becomes enlarged with advancing age and begins to obstruct the urinary system. Symptoms of BPH often include interrupted sleep and urinary problems and can cause loss of productivity, depression and decreased quality of life.
Medication is often the first-line therapy for enlarged prostate, but relief can be inadequate and temporary. Side effects of medication treatment can include sexual dysfunction, dizziness and headaches, prompting many patients to quit using the drugs. For these patients, the classic alternative is surgery that cuts, heats or removes prostate tissue to open the blocked urethra. While current surgical options can be very effective in relieving symptoms, they can also leave patients with permanent side effects such as urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and retrograde ejaculation.
About the UroLift System
The FDA-cleared UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive technology for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The UroLift permanent implants, delivered during a minimally invasive transurethral outpatient procedure, relieve prostate obstruction and open the urethra directly without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue. Clinical data from a pivotal 206-patient randomized controlled study showed that patients with enlarged prostate receiving UroLift implants reported rapid and durable symptomatic and urinary flow rate improvement without compromising sexual function*1,2. Patients also experienced a significant improvement in quality of life. Over 100,000 men have been treated with the UroLift System in the U.S. Most common adverse events reported include hematuria, dysuria, micturition urgency, pelvic pain, and urge incontinence. Most symptoms were mild to moderate in severity and resolved within two to four weeks after the procedure. The Prostatic Urethral Lift procedure using the UroLift System is recommended for the treatment of BPH in both the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology clinical guidelines. The UroLift System is available in the U.S., Europe, Australia, Canada, Mexico and South Korea. Learn more at http://www.urolift.com.

Crisis and strategic communications expert Evan Nierman recently joined Sara Jackson, the host of the highly influential Internal Comms Pro Podcast, to discuss internal communication in the age of social distancing.

FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
Leading crisis communications and PR firm Red Banyan is pleased to announce that its CEO, Evan Nierman, was recently a featured guest on the Internal Comms Pro podcast. Evan shared his expertise with the show's host Sara Jackson and offered actionable tips on how corporate communication professionals can help companies thrive in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nierman took listeners through a 6-step roadmap, guiding them on how to transform internal communications practices from an initial reactionary phase to a thriving, proactive powerhouse.
"There has never been a time where the roles of both crisis communications and internal communications are more valued," said Nierman. "Communicators actually act as emissaries, providing a sense of the feeling within the company. The strength of the internal communications function derives in part by being able to bring together a diverse range of skill sets."
During the interview, Nierman said that he set out to create a PR agency that is not merely focused on promoting products and businesses, but rather one that champions vital issues and serves the greater good, values that are particularly essential in the current climate. As communications professionals, he and his growing team have provided strategic counsel to top business leaders, government officials, high-profile individuals and even presidential candidates.
"At the end of the day, you have to juggle a lot of competing inclinations and a lot of needs but start from the ones that are most fundamental and inform your target audiences of vital information that they need to have," said Nierman when offering guidance to internal communications pros. "Remember the importance of storytelling; people remember stories, people are inspired by stories, and there are always stories to tell."
Highly regarded by industry professionals, the Internal Comms Pro podcast is dedicated to educating and sharing stories with the internal communications community. It offers a platform of free resources to support the discipline of employee communication.

As the local food bank is getting overwhelmed by an increase in patrons, Pinnacle Pool Services is stepping up to help North Gwinnett Co-Op feed the community.

ATLANTA (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
Pinnacle Pool Services, a local Atlanta pool cleaning, maintenance, and repair company, is doing its part to help their community during COVID-19. The company has donated $500 to the North Gwinnett Co-Op, a local food bank that provides relief for seniors, children, and families that cannot afford to provide for themselves. The charitable efforts carried out by Pinnacle Pool Services are providing a much-needed break for North Gwinnett Co-Op. Due to COVID-19, this facility has had more food distributed among the community in just two months compared to its services as a whole in 2019.
"When faced with a crisis like COVID-19, your primary focus is your family," says Pinnacle Pool Services owner Greg Stephens. "You don't really think about people who are already in need, and how they are being impacted by a pandemic. When local food banks and other emergency services become overwhelmed by an increase in community members who suddenly find themselves unable to afford food or other basic necessities, it can cause a strain on these establishments that is unsustainable. My team and I have been very fortunate to maintain a steady income during this time. We care about our customers and our community. That's why we're taking steps to do what we can to help out with crucial establishments that are keeping families healthy and well."
About Pinnacle Pools
This Atlanta pool service company provides a wide range of services to local pool owners. With seasonal maintenance programs, timely repair services, and pool inspections, this company has been helping homeowners enjoy their pools for nearly 25 years. Community members have been enjoying the friendly staff and quality solutions of Pinnacle Pool Services all year long, despite the pandemic. Stephens has taken care to ensure that neither staff or client is at risk of spreading COVID-19 during a service call. His team follows a strict regimen that complies with federal and state guidelines regarding the pandemic.
"With many people practicing Safer at Home policies, it's hard to find ways to stay entertained," states Stephens. "A pool owner can't enjoy the water if their pool isn't clean or working properly. My team and I understand how important it is for families to have activities to enjoy and bond over during this time. We are making sure our customers' pools stay clean and safe."

Structured as a point-based program, agents are rewarded for participating in a variety of booking promotions, undergoing virtual training, and attending Carnival trade shows and events. These points offer access to a virtual merchandise catalog, housing thousands of options that can be picked up in participating vendor locations or delivered directly to the agent's door.
The Motivation Masters Awards team also included a list of nine honorable mentions, noting three additional incentive programs in partnership with Incentive Solutions for a total of four programs recognized.
"To see not only our company's name, but so many of our programs receive recognition in this year's competition was a very proud moment for Incentive Solutions," said Mark Herbert, CEO and President. "Being able to contribute to our client's growth is a reward in itself, and having our work highlighted within the industry re-enforces the power of recognition we so strongly believe in."

Often described as described as "encryption on steroids," GoSilent Share provides true, end-to-end data security using encryption strong enough for controlled unclassified (CUI) level protection and is designed to meet the needs of the most security-sensitive organizations.

COLUMBIA, MD. (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
Attila Security, a leading provider of simple, highly secure solutions for protecting sensitive data as it moves between people, places, devices and networks, unveiled GoSilent Share, a new secure online file sharing and collaboration workspace that's been described as "encryption on steroids."
GoSilent Share provides true, end-to-end data security using encryption strong enough for controlled unclassified (CUI) level protection and is designed to meet the needs of the most security-sensitive organizations.
"The way organizations work with their partners has changed considerably, and the ability to collaborate digitally is crucial, but it also increases the risk that data and intellectual property will fall into the wrong hands," explained Jay Wantz, Vice President of Engineering at Attila Security. "There are plenty of solutions on the market today for online file sharing and collaboration, but unfortunately they lack the security controls needed to protect highly sensitive information. We built GoSilent Share to solve exactly this problem, and to allow organizations to take full advantage of all the benefits the cloud has to offer without exposing them to the risks."
The complexity brought on by rapidly changing and expanding third party ecosystems and rising competitive threats from both corporate entities and nation-states has made it increasingly difficult for organizations to quickly, easily and securely share information with their partners and suppliers. Until now.
GoSilent Share is a turnkey, private-label solution that allows organizations with high value intellectual property or sensitive data to secure remote access to their data so that it can be freely shared with third parties while ensuring that only approved users have access. This makes it ideally suited to solve challenges relating to supply chain security, and to protect data handled by law firms, healthcare organizations, defense contractors, the financial industry, or any other organization that requires the highest level of security.
Full Ownership. Platform Agnostic.
Unlike other commercial file sharing and collaboration tools, with GoSilent Share, the organization owns all of the data and completely controls access and segmentation. There's no relying on third-party hosts or third-party providers, and it seamlessly integrates into any existing IT environment regardless of the servers, operating systems, or tools in place.
Highly Secure.
Designed to be fully controlled and managed by the organization, the GoSilent Share platform combines the award-winning GoSilent Cube, the world's smallest portable firewall, VPN, and Wi-Fi hotspot, with Attila's GoSilent Server. Together, they create a NIAP-approved, IPSec VPN tunnel, fully encrypted with CNSA algorithms to secure all data in-transit, as well as storage for encrypted structured and unstructured data at-rest.
Securing the Supply Chain.
GoSilent Share is ideally suited for organizations with complex supply chains and high value intellectual property that face challenges collaborating with smaller supply chain partners who require sporadic secure remote network access but do not have an IT team or the infrastructure in place to secure their endpoints.
The platform is already in use today within the U.S. defense industrial base and the Department of Defense, which is using it to securely collaborate with defense contractors, as well as in the private sector.
About Attila Security
Based in Columbia, MD, Attila helps organizations ensure their networks and data are securely protected. Our focus has been solving and simplifying complex network security challenges since our inception. Attila's award winning GoSilent technology was originally developed to protect government leadership and enterprises from advanced cyber threats, man in the middle attacks and foreign adversaries.
Today, the Attila platform offers the highest level of network security of any cloud-based environment, protecting data in-motion and at rest. Attila customers can choose to deploy on our global cloud network or leverage our NIAP certified virtual servers to overlay existing networks.

Protecting Endangered Species, the Focus of a New Partnership using Global Satellite IOT

SAN DIEGO (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
eSAT Global, Inc. ("eSAT") a developer of low cost, real-time satellite IoT connectivity solutions today announces its partnership with IoT device company G8Way Technologies. G8Way is one of South Africa's leading IoT device makers and is an active participant and proponent in the protection of endangered species across the African continent.
G8Way is an IoT pioneer in South Africa and has developed a host of sensor solutions which have been implemented in a range of applications from high value asset tracking, animal traceability, cold chain and other security related solutions.
One of G8ways proudest achievements has been to play an active role in the counter poaching movement, helping to protect and preserve endangered wildlife.
G8Way Technologies CEO, Mischa Slabbert, said, "We have been in the IOT industry for a long time now and have had the opportunity to look at, and access, many different connectivity solutions in that time. We had never been quite able to effectively crack some of the difficult issues we have had with animal tracking, whether it be livestock or endangered species."
He went on to say, "I came across eSAT doing a web search and after talking to them I realised just how useful they could be as a partner. Not only will they provide low cost connectivity, but the planned device size is so small it will easily be accommodated into our devices and the battery life will be extended by years. When you are dealing with large animals like Rhinos that must be anesthetised, even something as simple as changing a battery can be a risk for the animal. We see a myriad of opportunities to work with eSAT right across Africa."
Rick Somerton, eSAT's Regional Director ANZ remarked, "When Mischa reached out to us looking for a solution, we thought it was just a simple commercial enquiry but the opportunity for us is much greater than that. It will be gratifying for our entire team if our technology is able to play a small role in protecting endangered species. We are making our partnership with G8Way a priority because of the obvious benefits which go well beyond the commercial opportunities we have."
The initial phase of the project will result in field trials of eSAT's direct-to-GEO-satellite communication modules integrated with G8Ways animal trackers. Trials are expected to be begin in Q4 of 2020 and global availability expected in 2021.
About G8Way Technologies
G8Way Technologies IoT Platform is an IoT platform that enables rapid development, management and scaling of IoT projects. Our goal is to provide out of the box IoT cloud or on premises solution that will enable server-side infrastructure for your IoT applications. It enables device connectivity via industry standard IoT protocols
MQTT, CoAP and HTTP and supports both cloud and on premises deployments. The platform combines scalability, fault tolerance and performance so you will never lose your data.

About eSAT Global
eSAT Global's mission is to bring disruptive direct-to-satellite connectivity to low cost IoT devices. The direct-to-satellite connectivity solution is built around eSAT's patented architecture using existing and highly reliable GEO MSS satellite platforms. Designed from the ground up for Internet of Things (IoT) applications, the eSAT solution requires no terrestrial infrastructure or back-haul, while providing global coverage. IoT devices equipped with eSAT communications modules directly communicate with GEO MSS satellites at a transmit power level comparable to that of a car key fob, enabling years of operation on a single battery The eSAT system's unique combination of low cost, low latency, and global coverage is not matched by any other existing or proposed IoT connectivity solution, including the many proposed Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite systems.

Denver-based group finished inaugural fundraise, exceeding its $150 million target

DENVER (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
Rallyday Partners, LLC, a Denver-based private equity investment firm, has closed its inaugural fund, Rallyday Partners Fund I LP. Following a six-month fundraising process, Rallyday closed its first fund north of its initial $150 million target. Rallyday received capital commitments from seven institutional limited partners, including prestigious university endowments, mission-driven foundations, highly-respected family offices and outsourced CIOs. The Rallyday founding investment team, Travis Conway, Molly Fitzpatrick, Ryan Heckman, Mark Hopkins and Nancy Phillips, all made significant capital commitments to the fund as well.
"Our goal from the outset was to create a new private equity model that would provide greater stakeholder alignment. We also sought an investor base comprised of thought-leading institutions who valued our differentiated approach and desire to elevate the lower middle market asset class for entrepreneurs and investors alike. We are grateful for the opportunity to work with this premier group of forward-thinking investors," commented Ryan Heckman.
Rallyday invests in lower middle market growth companies with compelling secular trends, disruptive, scalable business models and audacious leadership. As Nancy Phillips describes, "we built Rallyday with a 'by founders for founders' DNA and are building powerful peer relationships with our founders that will enable better outcomes for all our stakeholders." Since its founding, Rallyday has invested in two platform companies as well as four add-on acquisitions.
"Nancy, Ryan and I have all founded, led, and ultimately sold companies in our prior lives that were near and dear to our hearts. Accepting 'outside' capital almost always required trade-offs. At Rallyday, we don't believe in trade-offs. We partner with growth-minded founders who want to leverage our experience and capital to build industry-defining products and services, creating the best version of their companies and themselves along the way," said Mark Hopkins.
Pacenote Capital LLC served as the exclusive placement agent for Rallyday on the fundraise. "We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the team at Pacenote. They provided us with invaluable advice, authentic relationships with premier investors, and genuine inspiration as we completed our first fundraise," added Phillips. "Because of Pacenote's belief in our vision, we feel a great sense of privilege and commitment to our limited partners who empower our work with entrepreneurs every day."
McGuireWoods LLP provided Rallyday with legal counsel and Tillman Private Equity Services has been selected as its Fund Administrator.

Prosciutto di Parma and Parmigiano Reggiano Make The Perfect Pairing

BROOKLYN, N.Y. (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
Principe launches a new-to-market "Double D.O.P. Snack Pack" with Prosciutto di Parma and Parmigiano Reggiano and featuring a never-before-seen pairing of truly Italian cured meat and cheese. Sourced from select heritage breed pigs, Prosciutto di Parma is imported from the Emilia Romagna region of Italy known for its sweet, aromatic, and dry mountain air. Complementing the prosciutto are bite-sized cubes of Parmigiano Reggiano that are made from pasteurized cow milk. The story of this sharply-flavored cheese is closely entwined with that of prosciutto, as hogs that live near Italian creameries are fed the natural by-products of the cheese-making process.
This snack pack meets the health requirements of today's demanding consumer. It's high in protein, gluten-free, and ideal for Keto or Paleo diets. The Principe D.O.P. Prosciutto di Parma & Parmigiano Reggiano Snack Pack is the perfect "grab and go" option to simultaneously satisfy dietary restrictions and serious savory cravings.
"After months of working from home and being restricted from road trips, parks, and picnics, Americans are slowly –– and safely –– starting to regain a taste of the freedom that they've taken for granted," Alberto Minardi CEO Principe Food USA. "As we welcome summer, consumers will be looking to complement their escapes, adventures, and small gatherings with a snack that refuses to be secondary. One that encapsulates culinary excellence, world-class quality, from-the-market freshness, and refined taste."
Great for entertaining, the snack pack's Parma prosciutto and Parmigiano Reggiano pair perfectly with artisanal beer, fruit –– melon is recommended –– or Italian wine. This matching potential opens opportunities for cross-promotion with wine and beer products and the Principe D.O.P. Prosciutto di Parma and Parmigiano Reggiano Snack Pack can also be merchandised in both deli and specialty sections of retail establishments.
Conveniently designed with separate, clear compartments for the Parma Prosciutto and Parmigiano Reggiano, each Principe D.O.P. Prosciutto di Parma and Parmigiano Reggiano Snack Pack offers an easily accessible and delicious snacking experience. Aged 16 months, every snack pack includes two ounces of prosciutto and 1.5 ounces of cheese. Each case contains 12 snack packs weighing 3.5 ounces each.
Market statistics and consumer behavior trends suggest that the timing of the snack pack could not be better. According to Statista, snack sales in 2020 exceeded $100 billion in the United States, with the average American spending $303 on snack foods yearly. More recently, sales of meat/cheese snack packs have gone up 46-percent in the last 60 days, both online and at retail stores.
And when times get tough, people want cheese. During the pandemic, purchases of cheese snacks within the United States rose by approximately 11.5-percent. Studies have also shown that consumers snack on average four times a day. This rate is only expected to rise as eating habits are quickly transforming across the globe.
Expect the "Duo D.O.P. Snack Pack" to hit store shelves this July.

Los Angeles-based immigration firm The Law Offices of Henry A. Posada comments on a recent article that, while immigration laws have indeed tightened, immigrants wishing to remain or move to the United States still have many options with an immigration attorney at their side.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
An April 23 article on The National Law Review reports on a Presidential Proclamation that prohibits until June 22 the entry of immigrants that, the law says, may impact the U.S. labor market during the federal government's response to the current public health crisis. The article states that the proclamation primarily impacts "U.S. workers who exist at the margins between employment and unemployment during this time of high domestic unemployment." The proclamation also notes a list of conditions and potential exceptions. For example, individuals who have or plan to apply to adjust their legal status in the United States are exempted from the proclamation. However, there are over a dozen additional exceptions, and figuring out which ones apply to a given situation can be extremely confusing to any layperson. Los Angeles-based immigration attorney Henry A. Posada says that the proclamation serves as an example of how complicated U.S. immigration laws have become in recent decades and how the need for immigrants to be able to trust an expert immigration lawyer in their fight for residency or citizenship is now greater than ever.
Mr. Posada says that now is the time for immigrants to fully understand their rights and doing so without the knowledgeable hand of an immigration attorney can be overwhelming. Mr. Posada says that immigration laws tend to be highly complex and vary widely, so being aware of the differences can be beneficial in many cases. Mr. Posada says that many applications relating to immigration in the United States are highly comprehensive, and errors can lead to delays or even rejection. Naturally, Mr. Posada says an immigration lawyer can help clients navigate all the different forms and sections successfully, making a rather tedious process quite manageable.
The Los Angeles area attorney says that immigrating to the United States may still be a rewarding experience for those who may be leaving uncertain circumstances or simply seeking a better life in a land known for opportunity. Whether clients are only just starting the immigration process or defending their ability to remain in the United States, the process can run smoothly but just about everyone requires legal assistance for that to happen in most cases, says Mr. Posada.

All of Caring Transitions' services are customizable, so clients choose the solution that best fits their needs.
"Caring Transitions is different because we know helping older adults relocate isn't just about space planning and packing boxes. We understand that these are people's lives and the possessions we are dealing with aren't just things. We want to understand your individual situation so we can work together to help you meet your goals. We know this process is difficult and we are here to help," Damian said.
George and Damian are long-time Somerset County residents. George graduated from Seton Hall University and is a founding member and board member of New Jersey's first Public Recovery High School. Damian graduated from the University of Scranton and has been working in Information Technology, but has always had an entrepreneurial spirit. George and Damian were thinking about opening a business together – and had explored quite a few opportunities – when George's neighbor had to relocate.
"The widow who lived next door fell and she went through the entire process of relocating to an independent living facility. During that transition, I saw a van in her driveway almost every day for another company who does some of the work that Caring Transitions can do. The more I learned about it, the more I thought it was a great idea and a wonderful service, which is what brought us to Caring Transitions. Caring Transitions brings world-class professionalism, services and support to franchisees around the country and we're excited to be part of that national team," George said.
Caring Transitions of Somerset County is bonded and insured and all employees are CRT trained and background checked. For additional information, call 908-736-4481, email GPizzo@CaringTransitions.com or visit http://www.caringtransitionswsc.com/.

Former NFL Super Bowl Champion also assures live audience that "Fans will be in the game" thanks to React's Super Squares Live app.

LARGO, FLA. (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
Matt Birk, recently appointed as The Commissioner of Sports at React, LLC, took to the airwaves of KFAN FM 100.3 Minneapolis/St. Paul this morning, to make a bold prediction: the on-time start of the 2020 NFL Season.
Birk was emphatic during the live on-camera interview. "I declare, as the Commissioner of Sports, that there will be football this fall... September 10, 2020. I one hundred percent guarantee that there will be football."
Despite the questions raised about COVID-19's impact on live sports around the world, The Commissioner cited several reasons for making the bold prediction, including his insights as a former NFL player himself. "There's more risk on any given play, for them, physically, than being affected by this virus... They're not into surgical masks, they're into face masks... They are football players. Football is not a job... this is what they were made to do." Birk also noted that the relatively short career of NFL players insures most players will not elect to sit out a season during their prime earning years: "They don't have guaranteed contracts... they're not getting paid if they don't play."
Birk's comments can be heard here.
In addition to his proclamation about football's start, Birk provided good news for enthusiasts of the sport: "Fans will be in the game this year. For the first time ever, fans will be able to play along in the game." Birk went on to formally announce the launch and release of the Super Squares Game Show App.
The Commissioner shared with listeners details of the beta release of Super Squares Classics, available by invitation to media, sports, brands and agencies, in sync to the Monday Night Football game being broadcast on May 25th on ESPN. The re-airing of a 2015 regular season game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Diego Chargers will provide an opportunity for insiders and fans alike to experience the first ever sync-to-replay game second screen experience.
Prizes for the beta game will feature ten autographed "The Commissioner" Collectors' Edition footballs, with the Grand Prize Winner receiving The Commissioner Gift Pack. On the day of the event, React team members including Birk, Chief Content Officer Tim Sabean, and React CEO Frank Maggio, will be made available for on-air radio and TV interviews, with additional prizes being awarded to live listeners who play Super Squares Classics later that evening.
The May 25th Super Squares Classics beta event will also provide fans with exposure to some of the more creative advertising being talked about on the Internet. As with all Super Squares games, in-app ads are presented as content, with ad-based quiz questions each quarter providing important game show points to players, when answered correctly. Fans will award from 1 to 3 stars for every ad played in the app, providing React and participating brands and agencies with census-level fan sentiment measurement. "React is all about giving fans the best seat in the house, and a platform to cheer, play, and be heard," adds React CEO and Founder Frank Maggio. "Every player votes on every ad, so by the end of the football game, we will KNOW which ads work better, and which ads are fan favorites." Concludes Maggio, "Fans are the energy of sports, and Brands are the benefactors. React is committed to giving fans and brands the respect they deserve."
About React
Founded by adtech and media measurement maverick Frank Maggio, React LLC is an experiential advertising technology and entertainment company that thinks of "advertising as a sport."

MIAMI (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
The MIAMI Association of REALTORS (MIAMI) is hosting its second South Florida Virtual Open House Showcase (SouthFloridaOpenHouseSearch.com) event on May 22-25 to provide consumers virtual access to property tours, open houses, and direct interaction with Realtors and other industry experts while adhering to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's recommended social distancing guidelines during COVID-19.
From anywhere across the U.S. or around the world, buyers and investors can view live streaming open house events or take recorded virtual tours hosted by our top agents, view the properties, learn more about their features, amenities and even about the neighborhood from the comfort of their home or office.
Visitors to SouthFloridaOpenHouseSearch.com can contact the agents direct from the property information page via email or phone – there's even the widely used feature of downloading an electronic brochure in English, Spanish or Portuguese. Consumers needing more information on available financing and mortgage rates, inspection process and title services compliant with CDC Guidelines can take advantage of "Ask the Experts," a new chat feature putting consumers in contact with professionals providing real estate affiliated services.
Consumers and professionals also have access every day, 24 hours a day, to all of our residential single family homes, condominiums, townhomes and investment properties plus tours and videos are available from our 52,000 members in Miami, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin and beyond. Bookmark SouthFloridaOpenHouseSearch.com and visit often - properties change daily.
MIAMI's first Virtual Open House Showcase, held May 1-10, saw 2,303 virtual open houses and virtual tours loaded for the event. About 40,515 visitors visited SouthFloridaOpenHouseSearch.com over the 10 days, viewing a whopping 178,809 pages. Top U.S. visitors by state were New York, Virginia, Texas, New Jersey and California. Top international visitors by country were Colombia, Venezuela, Germany, Philippines, the United Kingdom and Canada.
"Our first Virtual Open House Showcase was such a hit with our members and consumers that we are leveraging the upcoming four-day weekend, May 22-25, to showcase the best of the best that South Florida has to offer consumers across the country and around the world," MIAMI Chairman of the Board Jorge Guerra Jr. said. "Through virtual open houses and tours, homebuyers can shop from the comfort and safety of their own home. They can ask for video and virtual tours or schedule a personal video walkthrough."
The Virtual Open House Showcase relaunches MIAMI's South Florida Virtual Open House Program virtually. While COVID-19 is expected to temporarily impact home sales on a global level, MIAMI remains optimistic the robust fundamentals of the South Florida housing market will minimize the impact, and sales activity will resume later in the year, as things normalize and pent-up demand builds.
Current interest rates make purchasing a home an excellent decision. Interest rates are at near all-time lows, and some lenders are extending lock-in rates for up to 90 days.

A team of Tax Practice and Litigation Practice attorneys from the Mexico City office of global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP, successfully obtained a writ of amparo, which is a remedy for the protection of constitutional rights, before the Nation's Supreme Court of Justice (SCJN). The precedent-setting victory came on behalf of client, Joaquín Alcalá, who was appealing the Mexican Tax Authority's (SAT) decision that it was jointly liable as a real estate company for a principal tax assessment of MX $101.5 million.

MEXICO CITY (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
A team of Tax Practice and Litigation Practice attorneys from the Mexico City office of global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP, successfully obtained a writ of amparo, which is a remedy for the protection of constitutional rights, before the Nation's Supreme Court of Justice (SCJN). The precedent-setting victory came on behalf of client, Joaquín Alcalá, who was appealing the Mexican Tax Authority's (SAT) decision that it was jointly liable as a real estate company for a principal tax assessment of MX $101.5 million.
The decision issued on Feb. 19, 2020 by the Second Chamber of the SCJN in case ADR5652/2019, granted federal judicial protection to Alcalá, who was a member of the board of directors of the taxpaying real estate company. The court said it found in favor of the client based on its conclusion that the tax authority's power to determine joint liability and require payment of the assessment owed, had expired. The ruling eliminated any tax debt or associated issues for the client.
"We are very happy with this successful outcome. Furthermore, we appreciate our client's trust in the team at all times, which enabled us to achieve this precedent setting decision for tax matters in Mexico," said Joselino Morales López, Greenberg Traurig Litigation Practice shareholder, who acted as lead counsel in the case. "We utilized our team's skills and legal experience to craft new arguments and establish legal precedents in the Mexican legal system. This success is extremely rewarding."
This is a landmark decision for the Mexican legal system because it represents the first precedent issued by the SCJN related to the calculation of the expiration period of the powers of tax authorities to determine joint and several liability in a tax assessment.
As a result of this ruling, the tax credit imposed against the jointly responsible person was left unsubstantiated, thus eliminating any debt or contingency for Alcalá.
"This news filled me with joy and made me regain my strength to keep moving forward," Alcalá said. "Greenberg Traurig has been key to achieving this result since the team's arguments led to the favorable outcome in the matter. The firm and its lawyers have my utmost respect and admiration."
Morales López led the team of Greenberg Traurig attorneys that included Litigation Practice Associates Hugo Hernández and Perla Salgado Roman.
About Greenberg Traurig Mexico: Greenberg Traurig's Mexico City office offers clients innovative, strategic advice and legal services that span both traditional fields and contemporary regulatory sectors. The office has more than 60 bilingual attorneys who have been contributors to major national projects in Mexico and leverages the resources and reach of the firm's global platform to provide clients with tailored legal services reflective of the specific industry and market conditions in which they operate.

Ballet's REAL Pizza Physical Wallet Marks Tenth Anniversary of Bitcoin Pizza Day With Limited Edition Design

LAS VEGAS (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
Ballet today announced a new physical cryptocurrency collectible -- the REAL Pizza wallet.
The REAL Pizza wallet is a stainless steel cold wallet with a design that commemorates Bitcoin Pizza Day.
On May 22, 2010, now known as Bitcoin Pizza Day, an early cryptocurrency enthusiast conducted the first documented purchase of a tangible object using cryptocurrency.
On that day, Laszlo Hanyecz persuaded another cryptocurrency aficionado, Jeremy Sturdivant, to accept 10,000 bitcoins in exchange for two large pizzas. At the time, 10,000 bitcoins were worth $41. That amount of bitcoin is now worth $94 million.
Ballet's REAL Pizza wallet pays tribute to the tenth anniversary of this sale with a pizza-inspired design. Like Hanyecz's purchase, the REAL Pizza wallets are sold in pairs.        
"Ballet's new REAL Pizza wallet marks bitcoin's uptrending history with a stylish and durable collectible that has a celebratory design," said Ballet founder and CEO Bobby Lee. "We hope the community finds the limited-edition REAL Pizza wallet a unique expression of the exciting progress bitcoin has made over the past 10 years."    
Lee also mentioned that Ballet has already found success as the continuation to BTCC Mint, BTCC's physical bitcoin brand, which, over its three years of business, sold physical bitcoins worth more than $60 million dollars in today's prices.
Ballet raised more than $3 million in seed round financing in 2019 led by Ribbit Capital—a prominent Silicon Valley venture capital firm that has invested in Coinbase, Revolut, Robinhood, Xapo, and many other early stage fintech companies. It was founded in September 2019.
The Ballet REAL Pizza wallet is available for preorder now: https://store.balletcrypto.com/products/real-pizza
About Ballet:

The firm was founded by a group of experienced cryptocurrency experts from Asia, Europe, and the U.S.A, including Bobby Lee, the founder of China's first cryptocurrency exchange.

Ballet's innovative physical wallets are a one-stop solution for managing multiple cryptocurrencies on the go, in the form of a physical asset.

REAL wallets give users full and permanent control of their cryptocurrency private keys, always allowing them access to their funds regardless of changes in wallet technology. REAL wallets are credit card-shaped and made of stainless-steel. The wallets allow users to store and access their cryptocurrency safely on the go. REAL wallets can also be used immediately, without any setup or complicated account registrations. They also support multiple cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin, XRP, and many others on a single wallet. Ballet products are accompanied by a free smartphone application that allows users to view and manage their assets. The wallet supports many popular cryptocurrencies, which are all stored on the same physical wallet using the same private key data. Ballet wallets are made using a secure multinational manufacturing process, in which two separate private key components are generated in a two-step process on two different continents. This wallet security feature ensures no Ballet employee ever can gains access to both pieces of the private key necessary for decrypting and accessing funds stored on Ballet wallets. The company also does not retain any of the private key data, giving users true security for their cryptocurrency assets.
About Bobby Lee:
Bobby Lee is an entrepreneur and bitcoin proponent. Lee founded BTCC, China's first cryptocurrency exchange, and sold the company in 2018. Prior to founding BTCC, Lee was vice president at Walmart, and one of the early software engineers at Yahoo.

FREDERICK, MD. (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
Henry Martin Law, a business and intellectual property law firm, located in Frederick, Maryland and professional mountain bikers and YouTube personalities, Syd and Macky, join forces to work together to protect the intellectual property assets held in connection with Syd and Macky's new mountain bike board game called, SEND IT!
SEND IT! is a fast-paced, mountain bike-related board game where you ride, train, prepare and "send" progressively harder features as you race from the trail head to be the first to send the final feature and reach the Golden Burrito. It was created by YouTube personalities, Syd and Macky, as a way to continue to enjoy the thrill of mountain biking, even when you cannot ride.
Henry "Hank" Abromson, founder and principal attorney at Henry Martin Law and an avid mountain biker himself, is a fan of Syd and Macky's YouTube channel and found the game to be "compelling" and a "novel concept".
When asked about the new relationship with the YouTube stars, Abromson said, "I am thrilled to be working with Syd and Macky, as part of their team, as they make their entry into the board game market, helping them protect their valuable intellectual property rights. They are great people with a tremendous concept for a new board game."
Abromson, who has long represented athletes, entertainers, musicians and artists as part of his business and intellectual property law practice, represents other YouTube personalities as well. He thinks that, "YouTube and other social media outlets are the 'new normal' for entertainment." Abromson explains further, "we will continue to see YouTube personalities, like Syd and Macky, continue to pioneer what these new YouTube business models look like, with expanding and multiple streams of revenue in areas like show-related merchandise, accessories, games, for-pay premium channel subscriptions and more. We are living in exciting times, full of new opportunities and innovation!"

PC sales up 16% year-over-year, reaching $2.4 billion, according to NPD.

PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y. (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
As the spread of COVID-19 forced Americans to shelter-at-home during the first quarter of the year, work-from-home and distance learning requirements drove the need to quickly equip remote working environments. According to The NPD Group's U.S. B2B Distributor and Reseller Tracking Service (1), top growth categories during Q1'20 across hardware included total PCs (2), with sales up 16% year-over-year to a revenue of $2.4B. Further reinforcing the need for additional hardware as more people moved to a work-from-home situation, landline headset equipment grew 50.9% and stereo headphones grew 65.4% compared to the prior year.
"As everyone's jobs and schedules have been flipped upside-down, procuring additional hardware to set-up suitable work-from-home and distance learning environments became a priority, driving additional demand in the channel," said Mike Crosby, Director and B2B Technology Industry Analyst, The NPD Group.
Underscoring an increased need to secure work-from-home stations not necessarily covered under an organization's traditional network security safety-net, U.S. B2B software sales were driven primarily by storage, data protection, and security demands in the first quarter of the year. According to the report, storage and data protection software sales grew 12.5% year-over-year in Q1'20, while security software sales grew 5.3%, representing nearly a quarter of the sales in the software market during this time.
"With more points of entry, an organization's network becomes increasingly vulnerable to attacks," added Crosby. "By shoring up additional security and data protection software, businesses are hoping to ensure the same levels of protection they experienced while working in-office."

RAC Makes Strawberry Donations to Continue Supporting Communities Amid COVID-19 Crisis

OXNARD, CALIF. (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
Reiter Affiliated Companies (RAC), the largest fresh multi-berry producer, is committed to supporting the communities where they operate. The need for help is greater than ever with the unforeseen impacts of the COVID-19 crisis, and one of the ways that RAC is responding is through supporting local school districts to ensure families have access to food.
With schools closed, the incidence of food insecurity among children in the U.S. has dramatically risen and children are losing the meals they depend on. School districts are stepping up to offer free meal distribution programs; however, many schools have a great need in accessing fresh produce to support kids and families.
In response, RAC is donating fresh strawberries to two local school districts in California: Oxnard Union High School District and Ocean View School District. In Ocean View School District in particular, 83% of students are on the free meal program, which means these families are in need of support during this unprecedented time. RAC's berries are included as part of the meal bags assembled at school and delivered to the families for the month of May.
"We're so thankful to help provide food for hungry kids who might not otherwise get the nutrition they need," said Eduardo Lucero, RAC's Production Director for Ventura County. "These districts serve the children of many of our farmworkers, so we're doing everything we can to support their efforts and help families put nutritious, balanced meals on the table."
As a family-owned farming company, RAC is proud to do their part in ensuring children stay healthy and happy while classrooms are closed.

American Physician Partners, a leader in emergency medicine and hospital medicine management services, is pleased to announce the company has been listed as a Patient Safety Organization by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. The official entity is named American Physician Partners, Patient Safety Organization, LLC.

After a rigorous application process, APP was granted a three-year PSO listing effective May 13, 2020, which will benefit the company's 2,500 healthcare providers and more than 160 hospital partners. This innovative, fully virtual, cloud-based environment fosters a culture of safety through the development of a system that allows for early reporting of adverse events, data analysis for trends of care, and development of best practices to be shared and implemented across APP. APP, PSO, LLC will provide a platform to enhance the quality and safety of patient care by:

Protecting the organization and its providers through participation in quality initiatives

Encouraging collaboration with the caregiver team surrounding adverse events

Mining quality data to share common trends in care

Local startup goes full-steam-ahead and is looking for opportunities to change the world of IoT

MONTEREY, CALIF. (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
Howe Neat is pleased to be among the winners of the 11th annual Startup Monterey Bay competition, sponsored by the California State University Monterey Bay and the Institute for Innovation and Economic Development.
Daniel Howe entered into the competition and was selected as the winner of the Student Division. His teams' product, an Internet of Things based waste tracking and sustainability app, developed during his Capstone Project at CSUMB, inspired Daniel to found Howe Neat, in Benicia, CA. Howe Neat is now implementing the business plan developed as a result of the competition.
The waste tracking device, called AMSie Can, stands for Automated Material Separation and integrated equipment. The cloud-connected device sends data to an online application where devices are monitored, and email notifications are sent to groups of users when a bin has become full, or if a trash can lid has been removed and not replaced. This device keeps waste out of the environment by reducing animal scavenging of waste bins. Additionally, the cloud app helps organize and schedule service trips to allow efficient use of time and resources, so that personnel can direct their energy into servicing bins that are full and require emptying or replacing their lids.
Howe Neat is now ready to monitor a wider variety of applications. Companies and public institutions are under growing pressure to reduce operating costs through the automation of tasks with the hope of increased efficiencies. However, there is one big flaw: few companies are connecting the multitude of different IoT hardware and corresponding data in one place. This makes automation confusing and difficult, if not impossible.
"When equipment like a pump or electric motor stops working, this can cost thousands of dollars in lost productivity, not to mention potential damage to equipment. If we can help reduce downtime by proactively alerting users, we will have done our job. It's like putting out a fire before it even started, and that is huge," said Daniel. "We have already begun the next steps to making major improvements in the hardware and software. Because the device is so versatile, I believe it will be a perfect fit anywhere preventative maintenance is required, for example, agriculture, and large systems where equipment operations are critical."
Howe Neat addresses these growing problems with intuitive cloud software and connected IoT hardware that monitors equipment data like battery voltage, and operating status indicators, like operating pressure, for anomalies, and preventative service requirements. When equipment such as a water pump needs service, the software can alert staff to address the problem in advance, saving time, money, and reducing customer frustration.
Howe Neat says they are growing and looking to expand even further. Until now, it has been entirely funded by ambitious first customers, and out of pocket. The startup is seeking potential investors to support and accelerate this new growth as well as talented and versatile engineers. In addition, it is seeking more beta customers looking to monitor critical infrastructure.
Howe Neat, Inc. is a product development company, founded by Daniel Howe, who has over 10 years of experience designing embedded systems. Our robust devices, and cloud server infrastructure, are designed to stand up to demanding industrial applications and provide our customers peace of mind, through frustration-free real-time monitoring of IoT devices.

The formation of OmniDTS will focus on helping companies with the transformation aspects of their business while reducing the time and expense of traditional PLM implementations that often require extensive customizations.

FRISCO, TEXAS (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
The Sconce Group has partnered with software developer PROCAD, which specializes in platform solutions for the digitalization of PLM (product lifecycle management), and has launched OmniDTS, LLC to bring PROCAD's PRO.FILE PLM/PDM (product data management) applications to the North American marketplace.
The formation of OmniDTS (Digital Transformation Solutions) will focus on helping companies with the transformation aspects of their business while reducing the time and expense of traditional PLM implementations that often require extensive customizations. The PRO.FILE solution differentiates itself with out-of-the-box functionality that enables rapid implementation via configuration with minimal reliance on customizations that require programming.
"Expansion of PROCAD's PRO.FILE PDM/PLM application into the North American market required a partner with strong project management capabilities, process automation expertise as well as deep technical capabilities in PLM implementation, integration between PLM and ERP and legacy data migration," said Ted Banz, Regional Director – Americas, PROCAD, Inc.

In addition, OmniDTS will offer PRO.CEED pre-configured best practice application packages such as Engineering Change Management or Contract Management.
"The configurability of PROCAD's products paired with our iterative and agile project methodology make implementation quick and easy, keep operating costs low, and give customers the ability to gradually expand the system whenever they see fit," said Tad Leach, Director of Business Development at OmniDTS.

KitoTech Medical recognized as one of the top 50 companies by leading publication that focuses on businesses with disruptive technologies

SEATTLE (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
KitoTech Medical has been named one of the 50 Leading Companies of 2020 by the major publication The Silicon Review. KitoTech's selection was based on an evaluation of companies in a broad range of sectors, including healthcare, information technology, clean energy, and others. KitoTech received the honor for the development and commercialization of microMend, its wound closure product that is an attractive alternative to sutures.
microMend consists of an array of high tech Microstaples attached to an adhesive backing that achieves similar holding strength to sutures with painless and easy application like a bandage. microMend is a cost-effective, time saving, and easy-to-use option for closing lacerations, skin tears, surgical incisions, and other wounds. The device's effectiveness has been demonstrated in multiple clinical studies. It is now being sold into acute and non-acute care markets in hospitals and clinics throughout the United States. KitoTech recently introduced a consumer version of microMend for closing lacerations in response to increased demand for people to treat wounds safely themselves and avoid trips to ERs and urgent care clinics.
KitoTech Medical's President and CEO, Ron Berenson, MD, commented, "We are honored by this recognition, which is a tribute to our dedicated team as well as our many collaborators. microMend devices are widely used in healthcare settings, and we are excited about introducing our products into the OTC market. Our selection by The Silicon Review confirms our success to date, and we look forward to expanding the uses of microMend as well as developing new and innovative products based on our Microstaple Technology in the future."
About KitoTech Medical
KitoTech Medical, Inc. is a Seattle-based medical device company that spun out of the University of Washington and continues to develop and commercialize products for wound closure and wound care.

Jonathan Tenkely, a Colorado-based graphic designer and founder of the prototype development company Legacy Goods, has not been spending much time on the couch since Colorado's stay-at-home order was enacted. Since early March, he has been designing, prototyping, and is now manufacturing solid metal pocket-tools that leverage the naturally-occurring antimicrobial properties of brass*. The tool's unique features were designed to decrease skin contact with commercial doors, keypad buttons, latches, and touch pads while offering additional versatility as a screwdriver, pry-bar, and even a bottle opener. He's launching his product idea on Kickstarter.com in hopes that his enthusiasm for fabrication and design can take his startup in a new direction. In addition to using the funds to pay for the creation of the tools, 5% of the total funds raised on Kickstarter will be donated to the Mile High United Way organization.

HIGHLANDS RANCH, COLO. (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
Jonathan Tenkely, a Colorado-based graphic designer and founder of the prototype development company Legacy Goods, has not been spending much time on the couch since Colorado's stay-at-home order was enacted. Since early March, he has been designing, prototyping, and is now manufacturing solid metal pocket-tools that leverage the naturally-occurring antimicrobial properties of brass*. The tool's unique features were designed to decrease skin contact with commercial doors, keypad buttons, latches, and touch pads while offering additional versatility as a screwdriver, pry-bar, and even a bottle opener. He's launching his product idea on Kickstarter.com in hopes that his enthusiasm for fabrication and design can take his startup in a new direction. In addition to using the funds to pay for the creation of the tools, 5% of the total funds raised on Kickstarter will be donated to the Mile High United Way organization.
"I love any excuse to get into the shop and create something. In 2018, I bought my own CNC machine and started a small business making custom metal prototypes and simple tools. I have always had plans to put more energy into scaling-up my company, but I always seem to have too much on my plate to make that happen." Says Jonathan, the founder of Legacy Goods LLC. "I am incredibly fortunate to have a job that fosters creativity and has allowed me to work from home during the lockdown, so I decided that if I was really serious about doing this, I'm never going to have a better chance".
Jonathan has launched the "Talon Multi-Tool" on Kickstarter.com. The tool is CNC machined from solid brass in the Legacy Goods prototype shop, and capitalizes on the inherent antimicrobial properties of the metal*. Designed to be a simple tool to avoid touching commonly shared surfaces, the tool can assist in opening door latches, pressing keypad buttons, and reducing contact with surfaces on public transportation. By designing as many useful features as possible into the tool, like a pry bar, screwdriver, and bottle opener, Jonathan believes his design is superior to similar imported tools on the market and will offer consumers continued every-day utility as we navigate our next normal. Jonathan has developed plans to handcraft each tool in his home CNC shop near Denver and has already begun production to ensure he can deliver a tool to early supporters of his Kickstarter campaign.
About Jonathan Tenkely – Jonathan is a designer and maker located in Highlands Ranch, CO. A Creative Director by trade, he pours his energy into starting with the rough sketch of an idea; and through trial, experimentation, and refinement, he brings that idea into the physical world to give it form and function. He has worked with a variety of clients including Starbucks, Procter & Gamble, Gillette, and Nestlé.
About Legacy Goods LLC. – Legacy Goods is a startup rapid prototype, design, and CNC fabrication shop located in Highlands Ranch, CO. Founded by Jonathan Tenkely in 2018, Legacy Goods specializes in 3D Printing, CNC Fabrication, Product Design, and Graphic Design.

SEOHost.net, a leading domain registration, SSL service, and SEO hosting provider, announced the importance of updating WordPress to protect their data.

ORLANDO, FLA. (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
SEOHost.net, a leading domain registration, SSL service, and SEO hosting provider, announced the importance of updating WordPress to protect their data.
"By keeping plugins and installation up to date, you can significantly reduce the risk of suffering a successful cyberattack," said SEOHost COO Terry Cane. "Not only that, but there are also plenty of SEO-related reasons to keep your site secure. A compromised website can and will suffer on the SERP, and it can be difficult to recover after something like that."
According to a report published by cybersecurity agency Sucuri, 90 percent of all hacked content management system sites in 2018 were running WordPress. According to the agency, experts blamed the vulnerabilities primarily on plugins and themes, configuration problems, and a lack of maintenance on the part of webmasters. Cane said this is not a great surprise.
"WordPress's versatility is certainly a huge draw of the platform, but the main reason it's so popular is that it's easy to use. With its plugin ecosystem and simple interface, it allows anyone to create a website containing anything they can think of," she said.
Unfortunately, Cane said this means that a large percentage of WordPress webmasters aren't particularly educated in or aware of cybersecurity. As a result, they're more likely to engage in bad practices such as poor password hygiene, installing too many plugins, or downloading plugins/themes from unknown third-party sources.
"The most egregious thing I see novice webmasters do - and arguably the most damaging - is slacking on patches," says Cane. "There seems to be a common perception these days that most cyberattacks are carried out by sophisticated criminal enterprises, but this is false. Most cyber-criminals are opportunists looking for the path of least resistance."
Indeed, the majority of data breaches are the result of identified vulnerabilities. Criminals bank on finding unpatched websites. And on WordPress, these websites exist in droves.
Cane recommends that users not only patch their WordPress installation but also look into installing the requisite security plugins to protect themselves against everything from spam to malware to targeted attacks.

BRUNSWICK, MAINE (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
Once this COVID-19 pandemic passes, America's first responders, nurses, doctors, staff and other medical and first responder staff, along with their family, will need relaxation and "quiet-time" to to decompress and heal. This unique experience will help these heroes..

Or awaken to the sun's first rays atop Arcadia's Cadillac Mt. and tidal rushes at the Bore in Nova Scotia. Or just wander away their worries day-tripping through sweet New England. All these are giant, tranquil steps away from the chaos. No cell phones blasting, no screeching loudspeakers, just nature. Calming nature.
Many caught the virus; some died. For countless more, PTSD looms. Heroes and hero families are suffering and sacrificing more than most. They've earned some calm and serenity on rocky coasts and quiet woods.
So with help, Vintage Van Adventures is sending these Covid-19 heroes and hero families off on an escape in "The Iconic VW Van" anywhere in New England or the Maritimes. These hero families get a free week through 2022, or/and as funds allow. Everything is supplied; all gear and accessories. It is a unique, leisurely way for making pleasant new memories and dim the not so pleasant old ones."
Please donate at one of the following GoFundMe links
1)    GoFundMe, or
2)    Facebook Fund Me, or
3)    Vintage Van Adventures
This is Vintage Van Adventures small contribution. A personal and small contribution can help make this happen, too. Even only a nickel makes a positive difference for these American heroes. Don't our heroes deserve it?

MN biotechnology company, Primal Health, LLC has donated over $10K of pHossident dental hygiene lozenges to three senior care facilities in need - launches COVID-19 donation project to expand to other senior living facilities.

MINNEAPOLIS (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2020
MN biotechnology company, Primal Health, LLC has donated over $10K of pHossident dental hygiene lozenges to three local senior care facilities - Saint Therese of Woodbury, Heritage of Edina in Edina, MN and Heritage Specialty Care in Cedar Rapids, IA. The donation kicks off their COVID-19 BODO (Buy-one-donate-one) Project, which will continue supplying senior living facilities in need.
Daily Dental Care pHossident prebiotic dental hygiene lozenges are clinically proven to clean the mouth and promote oral health. Built by a microbiologist for her loved ones that suffered illnesses directly related to dental disease, they are fully consumable, safe and effective supplemental dental hygiene for the entire family.
Senior living facilities are faced with the very difficult task of maintaining dental hygiene during the pandemic. The medical, psychological, social and economic impact of poor dental hygiene is far-reaching and problematic in the aging population. Over 70% of Americans 65+ have gum disease and 20% have untreated tooth decay. These conditions can lead to countless medical problems, such as aspiration pneumonia, stroke, diabetes, cancer, dementia and more.
"We're so excited about this for our residents and can't thank Primal Health enough! This will be such a huge help right now," said Kate H-Sones, RN, Director of Nursing, Heritage of Edina, MN.
The initial donation kicks off Primal's COVID-19 BODO Project (Buy-One-Donate-One) - Senior Dental Care Initiative. Primal will supply each facility with a month's worth of product to supplement residents' and healthcare staff's dental hygiene needs during this difficult time, when managing daily dental hygiene is extremely difficult.
Emily Stein, CEO, Primal Health, said, "The BODO Project will allow us to continue supplying the highly vulnerable senior population during the COVID-19 pandemic with a dental hygiene product. For every bottle - 1 month supply - sold through our website, http://www.dailydentalcares.com, a bottle will be donated to a facility in need."
Primal plans on expanding its donations to other affected facilities across the country, as well.
About Primal Health, LLC
Primal Health, LLC, is a biotechnology company based in Minneapolis that specializes in consumable dental hygiene products for humans and animals. The patented technology was created by Head Scientist + CEO, Dr. Emily Stein, PhD, after witnessing the devastation that poor oral hygiene had on the lifespan and quality of life of her grandmother while in assisted living. Using her extensive background in microbiology and immunology, she developed safe and effective products that control oral bacteria, the root cause of gum disease, cavities and bad breath.
Dr. Emily Stein attended the University of Iowa, where she first developed her fascination with the microbial universe. After she earned her degree in microbiology, she continued to further advance her expertise at the University of California at Berkeley where she sharpened her understanding of how bacteria behave, consume and socialize for survival in every known environment. After she earned her PhD, she attended Stanford University to pursue a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Immunology & Rheumatology.

Washington, D.C.-based tech firm uses Salesforce and AWS technologies to streamline West Virginia's Unemployment Insurance Call Center, improving and expanding access for residents.

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) MAY 23, 2020
Recently, the team over at D.C.-based tech firm, Enovational, designed and developed a custom solution for the West Virginia Unemployment Insurance Call Center. Using Salesforce technologies and Amazon Connect (an Amazon Web Services product), the team built an online processing system to:

Track and intake calls

Create call-back priority hierarchies between generalists and specialists

Collect and store case information.

Seamlessly integrate the product and Amazon Connect, allowing for single sign-on.

Before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, West Virginia's Unemployment Insurance Call Center (the Center) relied on a manual intake process. Now, with expanding benefits in the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, the Center was set to receive a major surge in calls. In working with Enovational, the West Virginia Unemployment Call Center was able to proactively launch an online system in two-weeks time, helping provide crucial information and guidance for residents of West Virginia.
Josh Spence, from the West Virginia Office of Technology, had this to say about the project: "In response to the disruptive nature of Covid-19 on the State of West Virginia, strong public-private partnerships leveraging Low-code/No-code and AI technology has defined new software expectations, allowing West Virginia to be more responsive to today's high-tech citizen."
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, it's more necessary than ever for states to provide fast, secure, and contact-free information and data collection services. Enovational is at the forefront of this effort, currently working across Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, in addition to West Virginia to provide crucial government technology services.
About Enovational Corp.
Enovational is a D.C.-based tech startup and the creator of the Maryland OneStop, among other custom products for state agencies across MD, VA, WV, DE, and D.C.. As one of the fastest growing startups in the DMV, Enovational has grown over 2000% in the past two years, and is projected to continue growing throughout 2020. Enovational stands out from other companies in its intense focus on user-centered design.

Crystallography Times vol. 12, No. 3, from Rigaku, focusing on single crystal X-ray diffraction, is available from the company's website.

THE WOODLANDS, TEXAS (PRWEB) MAY 23, 2020
The May edition of Crystallography Times from Rigaku Corporation has been published and is now available on the company's global website. Crystallography Times is an electronic newsletter published by Rigaku, focusing on single crystal X-ray diffraction. It serves the X-ray analysis community by presenting the latest news and crystallographic research.
The new issue begins with an invitation to a series of tuition-free one-hour webinars on practical aspects of X-ray crystallography, in response to the cancelation of numerous schools and conferences this summer.
"Crystallography in the News" is a collection of recent news and developments, featuring the latest research findings in protein and small molecule crystallography and X-ray diffraction from around the world. News items include reports describing work being done by several institutions to find antibodies to combat SARS-Cov2, and news of an alliance of five large pharmaceutical companies formed to share information to help develop coronavirus antivirals.
A new product, the Rigaku Intelligent Goniometer Head (IGH), is announced in the newsletter. Rigaku offered its first motorized goniometer head for the home lab in 2004. Building on this experience in goniometer head automation, Rigaku Oxford Diffraction designed the latest goniometer head— the smallest detachable motorized goniometer head on the market—to offer convenience, safety and automation possibilities with minimum impact on data collection strategies.
The "Lab in the Spotlight" feature presents The Papish Lab at the University of Alabama. The group, headed by Dr. Elizabeth T. Papish in Tuscaloosa, AL, focuses on bioinorganic and organometallic chemistry. Their aim is to mimic how nature controls reactivity by using hydrogen bonds or protonation/deprotonation to control reactivity.
The book review for May presents Radical: The Science, Culture, and History of Breast Cancer in America by Kate Pickert. Unique among works of healthcare journalism marketed towards the general public, the book provides both information regarding the science, culture, and history of breast cancer in America, and also shares the author's deeply personal narrative with the reader.
Among the featured videos is a link to a movie of polystyrene beads crystallizing in a petri dish, showing how researchers used positively and negatively charged polystyrene beads to model how crystallization might occur in certain materials.
Useful links to a symmetry and space group tutorial for structural science and a SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19 Resource Guide, along with access to access to the Rigaku Oxford Diffraction user forum are also included.
Readers can subscribe to the newsletter or view the current issue online at https://www.rigaku.com/subscribe.

Web App provides employees, visitors, patients, and contractors critical pre-work screening so employers can better manage operations

ENCINO, CALIF. (PRWEB) MAY 23, 2020
While businesses and clinics across the U.S. are scrambling to reopen and keep their employees and customers/patients safe, Business Contingency Group (BCG) announces the launch of its new app to help manage the risk at the workplace. The web-based app is called SafetyCount Pandemic and requires only a browser and access to the internet. Employees, visitors, patients, and contractors answer a few critical screening questions before traveling to the worksite or clinic, and the app auto generates a report alerting them if they can or cannot proceed that day.
"SafetyCount Pandemic will help identify and track high-risk employees, visitors, patients, and contractors that temperature checks at the door may miss. The reports are used by the employer so they are informed of the status of persons coming to their facility. It offers an added layer to manage the risk of COVID-19. Employees, visitors, patients, and contractors who are more confident that their workplace or clinic is safe and healthy will be more likely to come into work and keep clinic appointments." said Lee Goldstein, BCG president.
SafetyCount Pandemic provides the users with automated next steps before they go to a worksite or clinic and this helps minimize risk. Employers are able to view and analyze data submitted by employees, visitors, and contractors to understand their COVID-19 status and to help manage operational decisions and plans. Clinicians can prescreen patients before they leave their homes and advise them to contact the clinic for additional instructions if they meet certain risk factors for COVID-19.
"We are proud to have a part in helping American businesses re-open safely and understand the strain the shutdown has had on resources, so we are waiving all fees for the use of SafetyCount Pandemic for two months."
Mr. Goldstein says the app is live and ready to be implemented into the daily operations of every business no matter the size.
