Sydney, Australia’s SOLIDteknics introduces a breakthrough innovation with nöni, indestructible cookware made to last from generation to generation with lids that multi-task as skillets -- with great early-bird discounts available for only five more days

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA (PRWEB) July 21, 2017

With 38 days left in the crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, backers have pledged more than $170,000 to support the launch of nöni cookware – the world’s first seamless one-piece stainless steel cookware.

New backers can still take advantage of special early-bird pricing until July 26th, where they will receive First Edition production at a reduced price, along with an earlier delivery date.

“We knew we had something special, but the response from backers on Kickstarter has been amazing, and we know they’re going to love cooking with nöni their whole lives….they will never need to replace it,” said SOLIDteknics Founder and Development Engineer Mark James Henry. “With the multi-century durability of our 1-piece nöni pans, you’re not just buying cookware but a treasured family heirloom that will be loved for many generations to come.”

Henry says that’s one reason the company engraves the manufacturing date on every nöni pan.

nöni are high-performance chef pans wrought in one piece in Sydney from exotic German stainless – noted for its highly conductive, induction-compatible, non-nickel ferritic stainless (not the more common non-magnetic austenitic). nöni features handles that are integral with the pan body, with no rivets, welds, screwsmor fragile clad layers – and each lid doubles as a high-performance flat skillet for grilling.

Their patent-pending, seamless one-piece construction makes SOLIDteknics nöni pans so tough that they come with a multi-century warranty – another first in the world of cookware.

nöni Features:

•     World-first Seamless One Piece wrought Stainless Steel construction
•     Rivet, Weld and Screw Free
•     Versatile Lid/Skillet Feature
•     Soakable and Dishwasher Safe
•     Conductive ferritic (non-nickel) German stainless
•     Works on Induction
•     Durable and Hygienic
•     Vented Heat-dissipating Handles

While some may question the business model of selling a product only once, Henry notes that his team aren’t marketers, but engineers who cook.

“As a keen home cook, it was always frustrating to invest in a high quality sauce pan or skillet and have it warp or the handle come loose so you’re forced to throw it away and purchase another pan,” he said. “Restaurant chefs are also destroying pans regularly. With nöni, we not only eliminate that frustration shared by cooks around the world, but nöni users are also being environmentally responsible by eliminating all those traditional multi-part and disposable nonstick pans from ending up in landfills around the world.”

The introduction of nöni represents SOLIDteknics tenth crowdfunding campaign, after nine successful Kickstarter campaigns featuring innovative iron cookware.

For more information and to pre-order, visit the nöni Campaign Page on Kickstarter.

About SOLIDteknics

Mark James Henry has a background in the metal trades, mechanical engineering and business degrees, and a string of patents, long history of innovation and brand development, including Innovivant, Füritechnics, Füri knives and Diamond Fingers sharpeners. SOLIDteknics nöni pans are patent pending with tooling complete, pre-production samples exciting the experts, and production ready to go. For more information, visit http://www.solidteknics.com.

Pangaea resolves an inevitable organizational challenge that many large networks face: knowing whom to turn to when you have a question that your typical channels cannot answer.

New York, NY (PRWEB) July 21, 2017

J. Walter Thompson Company today announces Pangaea, an internal AI solution that allows anyone in its global network to ask questions and get answers from any of their 12,000+ colleagues around the world.

Built by J. Walter Thompson Worldwide, Mirum, and Swiss AI specialist Starmind, Pangaea puts together neuroscience and AI development in a self-learning network that helps employees unlock the vast knowledge that exists within the network.

Employees can ask any question on the platform anonymously – whether it’s about a campaign, a client, a sales lead, or even the best place to host a business lunch. As employees respond, Pangaea logs and rates the quality of the answers. Learning who is best equipped to tackle certain questions and what existing answers offer the best solution, Pangaea provides faster and more accurate solutions for similar questions that may be posed in the future.

“Pangaea is named after the supercontinent that once existed before the continents broke apart and became what we know them to be today,” said Tamara Ingram, Worldwide Chief Executive Officer of J. Walter Thompson Company. “Pangaea is our way of bringing the world back together – removing the barriers of time and language – so that our global community is connected across cultures and disciplines, becoming more accessible to each other – and more collaborative – than ever before.”

Pangaea resolves an inevitable organizational challenge that many large networks face: knowing whom to turn to when you have a question that your typical channels cannot answer.

The AI connects users to the people they need to know to answer their questions rather than replacing human connection with tech.

“Our partnership with Starmind has been critical in developing what is our most ambitious effort to apply AI in a way that improves the way we work together as a network,” said Jamie McLellan, J. Walter Thompson Company’s Chief Technology Officer. “With Starmind’s AI building block as the cognitive engine for Pangaea, we’ve created something that allows our staff to contribute to projects beyond their typical day-to-day. It makes us better positioned to create extraordinary work for our clients. This is no gimmick.”

The concept for Pangaea was born in 2015 and beta tested within the whole network in early 2016. It was launched internally last October. The platform is currently available to everyone in the J. Walter Thompson network via desktop or mobile device and is available in multiple languages.

Solidifies ImageRights’ Leadership Position in Copyright Enforcement

Boston, MA (PRWEB) July 21, 2017

ImageRights International, the global leader in copyright enforcement services for photo agencies and professional photographers, today announced the acquisition of Australia’s Image Witness, whose rapid scan image search technology fortifies ImageRights’ technology leadership position in the fast-growing copyright enforcement services industry.

Complementing ImageRights’ intensive image search and leading-edge image recognition technologies, Image Witness’ highly regarded image search algorithms have been specially designed for rapidly scanning very large, content rich websites for both image licensing and copyright enforcement purposes.

The combined image search systems will instantly deliver comprehensive, actionable image sighting reports to clients through their ImageRights dashboard at imagerights.com. The sightings are first analyzed by ImageRights AI, which sorts, ranks and groups the sightings by domain owner, all of which expedites license review and facilitates claim submission by copyright owners. The ImageRights AI can then recommend if a claim should be pursued directly through ImageRights license compliance or through a partner law firm and estimate the initial demand, all in less than three seconds. Since the launch of its integrated image search and case management platform, ImageRights has processed more than 50,000 copyright infringement claims.

“I have known and followed the developments at ImageRights over the years, so when the opportunity was presented I knew ImageRights was the perfect fit,” reflected Matthew Johnson, founder and CEO of Image Witness. “ImageRights has always had an upstanding reputation in the industry and I am glad to see that our clients will be in such great hands.”

Image Witness’ clients will be seamlessly transitioned to the ImageRights service platform and will immediately have access to ImageRights’ fully automated US Copyright Office registration service. Agencies and photographers can register their images with the US Copyright Office through their ImageRights account, either from their ImageRights dashboard or by using the ImageRights Plugin for Adobe Lightroom. ImageRights has successfully registered more 600,000 images with the USCO through the service since its launch less than two years ago.

The Image Witness acquisition also propels ImageRights into the web auditing services market. “Image Witness’ rapid scan image search can be immediately integrated into our existing platform,” said Joe G. Naylor, President and CEO of ImageRights. “We can now deliver extremely fast and accurate image use reporting, accelerating revenue recognition for agencies that previously had to rely on the self-reporting of image use by their largest media and enterprise clients.”

About ImageRights

ImageRights International provides intelligent image search and copyright enforcement services to photo agencies and professional photographers worldwide to ensure that their intellectual property rights are protected and that they are compensated for the unauthorized use of their copyrighted works. ImageRights, the only company to have fully automated copyright registration with the US Copyright Office, has made copyright enforcement a truly integrated component of its clients' daily workflow. Through its in-house license compliance team and global network of copyright attorneys, ImageRights has recovered more than $7 million in settlements and awards on behalf of its clients.

Pioneer Technology Group partnered with Charlotte County, Florida Clerk of Court to implement Jurymark, a Jury Management system which went live in May.

Sanford, FL (PRWEB) July 21, 2017

Roger Eaton, Charlotte County Clerk of Circuit Court and Comptroller, has been instrumental in transitioning the Clerk’s office into an efficient, virtually paper-free office. With the installation of Jurymark this vision has been furthered with improvements and efficiencies in the jury management process.

Jurymark was designed for courts of all sizes and jurisdictions. Some of the key improvements include the jury check in process, juror panel management and juror notifications. Jurors can now check in with kiosks by swiping their driver’s license or the barcode on their summons. Check in time has been cut in in comparison to the previous method. A configurable panels workspace allows for the system users to move jurors from one panel to another, add extra jurors to an existing panel and even multi-select jurors to set statuses in a single step. Jurors can also sign up for text and email alerts, making their jury service a better experience.

Jurymark also includes full accounting features and automated state reporting as well as a juror workspace with history tracking and document generation, which makes this system a one stop shop for any and all jury related matters. Implementing Jurymark has freed up Charlotte County staff for high impact activities and allowed them to be more efficient than ever before.

“With the Same Day Pay features and the ability to track jurors through the process, Jurymark has allowed for a completely streamlined workflow, virtually eliminating paper from the Courtroom altogether. With the addition of barcode scan technology on generated Jury Summonses we have substantially improved upon our processing time and customer experience in Charlotte County,” said Clerk Eaton.

Charlotte County, Florida continues to be at the forefront of customers in and across the United States who have picked up Jurymark as an answer to their panel management needs. Charlotte County, Florida has also successfully implemented Benchmark, Pioneer’s Court Case Management system, Landmark, Pioneer’s solution to Official Records processing, as well as Pioneer’s tax processing systems including Axia for Property Tax Appeals and TaxSmart which handles tax deeds.

Chris Stewart, President and COO of Pioneer Technology Group had this to say: “Our relationship with Charlotte County, Florida has been a long and successful one since inception and we are proud to continue partnering with them to improve their daily processes resulting in an improved customer experience. We look forward to a continued partnership with Charlotte County, Florida and truly consider them a key part of the Pioneer family.”

By 2018, the United States alone could face a shortage of 140,000 to 190,000 people with deep analytical skills as well as 1.5 million managers and analysts with the know-how to use the analysis of big data to make effective decisions.”

As part of their mission to bring tech education to rural communities in Montana and the greater Intermountain Region, Big Sky Code Academy plans to answer this shortage with highly qualified graduates from their Data Science boot camp, which starts September 25, 2017.

As companies generate and store more data digitally, being able to extract meaningful and accurate conclusions on things like customer behavior is critical. For professionals interested in learning how to use data to make better business decisions, part one of the program is the perfect opportunity, while part two of the Data Science boot camp is focused on machine learning, which will help students unlock the full potential of Big Data and get into more sophisticated predictive analysis tools.

To provide Montanans with the best the industry has to offer, lead instructors, Carl Fahlstrom and Sean Corbett researched the top Data Science programs in the country, across the online boot camp and collegiate spaces, and relied on their collective educational experiences from Montana State University and the University of Montana. Corbett holds a B.A. in English from University of Montana and is completing his final semester of both Computer Science and Mathematics at the University before completing his Physics degree. Corbett’s mission is to help students develop an intuitive understanding of the core computational concepts underlying the technologies behind modern web development, marrying formal computer science with cutting-edge tools and techniques.

Fahlstrom, a software engineer, holds a PhD in Physical Chemistry and has spent over five years developing data analysis tools in Python, with two years in web application development, and over 12 years of experience in optical spectroscopy and computational sciences. Both Corbett and Fahlstrom share a passion for teaching and enjoy helping students realize their aptitude for technology no matter their former background, education or experience.

To learn more and to join the Data Science boot camp offered at Big Sky Code Academy this fall, September 25th, contact Admissions Director, Scott Barbian. Scholarships and payment plans available.

Based in Pennsylvania, InventHelp is working to submit the OPTICAL CASE to companies for their review and possible feedback.

PITTSBURGH, PA (PRWEB) July 21, 2017

"I wanted a phone case that offered more convenient features than typically found in the versions available on the market," said an inventor from Manville, N.J. "I put my mind to it and came up with the design for my dream case."

He developed the OPTICAL CASE to enable the user to view incoming messages and calls at a glance. The unit eliminates the need to pull the phone out of a wallet, purse or bag in order to check for alerts. This makes it easier to keep up with texts, calls, email and social media. The case is designed to keep the user more connected. It is adaptable for use with virtually any new or existing mobile phone. Additionally, it also is usable to accept payment options.

The original design was submitted to the New Jersey office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 16-NJD-1158, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

TeacherCertificationDegrees.com’s 2017 Top-Ranked Online Master’s in Education Programs is based on a proprietary ranking model that is designed to help prospective teachers who earned a bachelor’s degree in a subject other than education research the best online master’s in education programs that lead to first-time teacher licensing.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) July 22, 2017

TeacherCertificationDegrees.com, a popular education-focused website that provides in-depth information on teacher preparation programs and certification requirements in the US, has released its ranking of the top online master’s degrees in education. To be considered for the list, schools with a hybrid online master’s program designed to lead to first-time certification for new teachers were evaluated for not-for-profit status and accreditation from one of the six regional accreditation agencies in the US recognized by the US Department of Education. The online master’s programs from the schools included are also equivalent to degrees granted to traditional, on-campus students. The rankings were based on factors measuring academic excellence, student experience and support, and graduate success.

The ranking uses a unique methodology that considers such factors as the average tuition cost per online credit hour; program accreditation by CAEP (or legacy accreditation from TEAC or NCATE); graduation rate; the average tuition cost per online credit hour; and school rankings according to US News & World Report in the regional, national, and online categories.

According to Rob Voce, founder of TeacherCertificationDegrees.com, “A growing number of education schools are hosting online teacher preparation programs at the master’s level to respond to teacher shortages in high-demand subjects and in select regions of the US. Our list differentiates itself from others by honing in on master’s programs designed for initial certification, also known as career-changer programs.”

Overall, 34 hybrid and online master’s in education programs met the screening benchmarks and ranked on this year’s list. As well as providing data for the ranking factors of included programs, the 2017 Top-Ranked Online Master’s in Education Programs list includes in-depth information on schools’ admissions statistics and requirements; tuition comparisons for in-state, out-of-state, and online students; and the services and support available to online students.

Urban Icon, LA-based Company is hosting an exclusive event themed, “Drinks + Eats + Music +Knowledge”- all to shed light on the “Most Powerful and Influential Psychographic Ever”, with a cohort of Media, Entertainment and Ad Executives, Brands, Entrepreneurs, and Influencers to include live interviews on the “Shifting Power of Culture, Influencer, and Innovation.”

New York, New York (PRWEB) July 22, 2017

Urban Icon's exclusive evening will take place at Spring Place in Tribeca (NYC) on July 25th, from 6-9pm, featuring Famed, Iconic Photographer and Filmmaker, Norman Seeff, who is known for his nostalgic work with Steve Jobs, Ray Charles, Alicia Keys, and hundreds more. Also, Ray J, Music and TV Personality, and new Green Tech Entrepreneur, and one of the Founders of Influencer Marketing, CEO of Speakr, Marco Hansell.

The Live Sessions will be hosted by CEO of Urban Icon, Tyrone Davis, a leader committed to redefining “Urban” in the marketplace. Urban Icon is a Creative and Innovation Lab recognized for its early preparation and tracking on the most powerful psychographic in history. They identified it, defined, and named them—the New Urban™, and they now have the insights to help Brands and Corporations reach them.

Jon Bond, renowned Ad Executive serves on the Board of Urban Icon. He says, “Urban Populations on every continent are now redefining themselves as part of a global community. The Generation XY cusp typifies this trend. This group is over 2 billion strong, living zero degrees of separation, first to have an authentic global outlook on life, and are worn out by previous social constructs and control dramas around music, politics, education, and business. I believe Urban Icon’s knowledge base and approach is groundbreaking for the marketing and advertising communities that have missed this socially and economically powerful audience.

 

“Companies that don’t speak in the current idiom of culture will be obsolete within 5 years. This seismic shift in culture is so potent the business situation calls for a reset, evolution, a pivot or whatever you want to call it- ignoring it will cause even the best brands to lose market share”, says Davis. “No one is safe. For the next 25 years, the New Urban is the general marketplace.”

During the event, Urban Icon will reveal the Cultural Resonance Monitor (CRM), an ongoing research and tracking study based in the US and UK that gives a snapshot of the values, feelings and most important brands and artifacts to the New Urban consumer. The report highlights eleven consumer categories including favorite transportation services, beverages, shoes, and fitness services, just to name a few. It also covers health, socially responsible brands, life goals and aspirations, music usage and a wealth of other topics. Davis co-created the CRM with Jerome Conlon and Webb Green, the research and branding executives that created the first Brand Strength Monitor for Nike in 1987, which tracked brands identity, persona and character. This group has over 70 years of combined research and brand planning experience with companies such as Nike, Starbucks, NBC, Microsoft, Verizon and Bank of America. The report will be available starting August 15th from Urban Icon.

Opelousas, LA (PRWEB) July 23, 2017

Technology is making it easier for patients and providers to interact, thus improving communication, safety and patient-provider relationships. New tools are helping patients become more actively involved in their care and maintaining their health, according to results of the 19th Annual Health Care’s Most Wired® survey, released today by the American Hospital Association’s (AHA) Health Forum.

According to the survey, Most Wired hospitals are using smart phones, telehealth and remote monitoring to create more ways for patients to access health care services and capture health information. This year’s results show:

•     76 percent offer secure messaging with clinicians on mobile devices.
•     When patients need ongoing monitoring at home, 74 percent use secure e-mails for patients and families to keep in touch with the care team.
•     68 percent simplify prescription renewals by letting patients make requests on mobile devices.
•     62 percent add data reported by patients to the electronic health record to get a better picture of what is going on with the patient.
•     Nearly half of the hospitals are using telehealth to provide behavioral health services to more patients.
•     40 percent offer virtual physician visits.
•     More than 40 percent provide real-time care management services to patients at home for diabetes and congestive heart failure.

"We are constantly engaged in ways to improve care delivery efficiency and creating a new dynamic in

patient care through technology use,” said Kenneth Cochran, DSc, RN, FACHE, President & CEO of

Opelousas General Health System. “We are honored to be recognized for our efforts and proud to be named

as a Most Wired healthcare organization for the seventh time.”

"I am very excited to be among the Most Wired Hospitals in America again this year. We strive to

Information Officer of Opelousas General Health System.

“The Most Wired hospitals are using every available technology option to create more ways to reach their patients in order to provide access to care,” said AHA President and CEO Rick Pollack. “They are transforming care delivery, investing in new delivery models in order to improve quality, provide access and control costs.”

Innovation in patient care embraces emerging technologies and underscores the need for secure patient information exchange. Hospitals have increased their use of sophisticated IT monitoring systems to detect patient privacy breaches, monitor for malicious activities or policy violations and produce real-time analysis of security alerts.

•     97 percent use intrusion detection systems.
•     96 percent perform data access audits.
•     Nearly 90 percent run targeted phishing exercises to teach employees to question suspicious emails.

Most Wired hospitals are transforming care delivery with knowledge gained from data and analytics. They are investing in analytics to support new delivery models and effective decision-making and training clinicians on how to use analytics to improve quality, provide access and control costs.

•     82 percent analyze retrospective clinical and administrative data to identify areas for improving quality and reducing the cost of care.
•     Three-quarters use sophisticated analytics such as predictive modeling and data to improve decision-making.
•     Nearly 70 percent interface electronic health record data with population health tools for care management.
•     More than 70 percent are providing data analytic tools training to physicians and nurses.
•     45 percent initiate a patient pathway using health IT to follow a care plan.
•     Nearly 40 percent deliver quality metrics to physicians at the point-of-care.

The 2017 Most Wired® survey and benchmarking study is a leading industry barometer measuring information technology (IT) use and adoption among hospitals nationwide. The survey of 698 participants, representing an estimated 2,158 hospitals — more than 39 percent of all hospitals in the U.S. — examines how organizations are leveraging IT to improve performance for value-based health care in the areas of infrastructure, business and administrative management; quality and safety; and clinical integration.

Michael G. "Mick" O'Rourke Becomes First Parent to Serve as Board Chairman

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) July 23, 2017

Signature Bank President and CEO Michael G. “Mick” O’Rourke has been elected as the fifth chairman of the Saint Patrick High School Board of Trustees.

O’Rourke, a 1986 graduate of the Chicago high school, becomes the first parent to serve as board chairman. He has sent two children to St. Pat’s and also has three brothers who graduated from the Catholic school on the northwest side of the city.

“Serving as the chairman of the board of St. Pat’s is a great honor and an excellent opportunity for me to give back to Saint Patrick High School,” O’Rourke said. “I am particularly indebted to Saint Patrick President Dr. Joseph Schmidt, who was instrumental in my education and assisted me in obtaining a full scholarship to Marquette University through the Evans Scholarship.”

Schmidt, who was the Dean of Students at St. Pat’s when O’Rourke attended the school, said he is thrilled to be working alongside his dear friend to ensure that Saint Patrick remains a viable, quality option for all families.

"We are proud to have Mick serve in this vital role for St. Pat’s,” Schmidt said. “His enthusiasm toward our students and families, and his unmatched desire to see this school flourish for years to come, make him an outstanding fit for this role."

O’Rourke began serving on Saint Patrick’s Finance Committee shortly after graduating from college and, soon after, joined the Board of Trustees. Prior to being named chairman of the board, O’Rourke served as the chairman for the school’s Admissions and Enrollment Committee, a role in which he helped recruit students to Chicago’s oldest private high school.

About Saint Patrick High School

Saint Patrick High School is Chicago’s oldest Catholic education institution. Serving an all-male student-body, St. Pat’s strives to provide its students with an educational experience of the highest quality, which enables students to develop to their maximum potential as lifelong learners and assets to society and the Church. Through St. Pat’s academic offerings, spiritual guidance, athletic program and extracurricular activities, the school transforms boys into capable young men who are prepared to succeed as their lives progress outside the walls of Saint Patrick High School. https://www.stpatrick.org/

Hexater was named as one of the top WordPress theme companies in a recent Entrepreneur.com article designed to provide guidance for choosing the most attractive, functional and stable themes

Valencia, California (PRWEB) July 23, 2017

Hexater is proud to announce that a recent Entrepreneur.com named it among the top WordPress theme companies, from among thousands upon thousands of competing collections.

The Entrepreneur.com article, titled “10 Best Wordpress Themes to Choose From for Your Next Website Project,” and written by R.L. Adams, provides guidance and recommendations for selecting a WordPress theme. It takes a step beyond the surface-level components of a site’s design and layout, examining other facets vital to success, each of which were identified in the article.

In choosing Hexater among its top themes for WordPress sites, the premium theme collections were first examined and weighed in terms of their design’s aesthetic appeal, but also: ease of installation, degree of customization, mobile usability, overall speed, customer reviews and regular consistent support and upgrades.

The article placed the spotlight on Hexater themes as they allow an entrepreneur or business to “quickly and easily customize your site without investing hundreds of hours trying to figure out how it works or having a PhD in graphic design.” It underscored practicality, flexibility and performance of the theme in a range of different purposes due to its “quick-to-market renditions for things like product launches, ebooks and niche authority sites,” among other things.

Hexater is delighted with the applause it received in the article, as the company’s mission is to offer entrepreneurs and businesses precisely the tools they require for stunning, impactful and successful websites. They look beyond simply offering a collection of WordPress themes, never losing sight of the needs of the customer. In this way, its customers can be confident in the visual appeal, ease of use and stability of their themes and can know that the support is there if they need it.
