It will also take place as countries, businesses, and individuals are taking action to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and a world of dignity for all.

The fellowship is intended for reporters who do not have regular access to key UN experts, but are interested in foreign affairs, humanitarian issues, sustainable development, climate change, and the United Nations. Journalists will receive a stipend to cover travel costs.

This increases the facility’s overall efficiency as employees unload incoming containers and stock trucks with the next day’s deliveries.

Raj Shah, President of MSI, explains why taking upgrades through to the warehouse was an especially important aspect of the project, “Demand for our slabs in the Houston market is quite strong, so making upgrades to serve our customers with greater efficiency, while giving them more traditional-to-on trend choices was essential.” He adds, “We’ve succeeded. The remodeled warehouse is state-of-the-art floor to ceiling, and includes an innovative narrow aisle racking system that has enabled us to increase warehouse inventory by a remarkable 30%.”

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 04, 2017

Progressive Dental’s renowned continuing education (CE) course, Catalyst, recently toured California, last visiting San Francisco. Over 40 attendees joined the Progressive Dental team in San Francisco to apply the latest dental marketing and advertising techniques in the industry. Learning not only how to target, but also to convert niche patients, attendees also earned 16 ADA CERP- and AGD PACE-approved CE credits.

“Progressive Dental lives up to their name,” said Dr. Amanda Brewer, an attendee of the recent Catalyst course in San Francisco. She continues, “Everything from their presentations to their approach to their ideas for how to grow your practice are progressive, creative, and innovative. They have their fingers on the pulse of what's current, and they get results.”

In a changing dental marketplace, many clinicians struggle to implement effective strategies that result in real business growth. Dedicated to offering modern practice growth techniques, Progressive Dental shares these tactics in Catalyst, a two-day, hands-on CE course. Clinicians and their office staff learn high-level communication strategies and explore successful internal and external marketing strategies to increase useful patient testimonials as well as qualified patients.

It seems that the course is good for any type of practice, large or small, younger dentist or older, because it teaches you the main principles of marketing, instead of giving you just "quick fixes.”

Launch Extends the Western European 4DX Footprint, with Innovative 4D Cinema Technology Now Available in 17 Countries in Europe and 49 Worldwide

Seoul, South Korea and Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 04, 2017

CJ 4DPLEX has today announced that 4DX – the world’s first and leading 4D cinema technology for feature films – launched in Austria on August 2. The first 4DX location in the country is opening through a previously-announced partnership with Hollywood Megaplex, as CJ 4DPLEX continues to expand its reach throughout Europe. With this opening, 4DX is now available in 49 countries around the world, and 17 in Europe.

Located at Hollywood Megaplex Gasometer – the number one theatre south of Vienna, boasting 15 screens and more than 3,000 seats – the 4DX-equipped auditorium will feature state-of-the-art moving seats and environmental effects such as wind, rain, fog, bubbles, various scents, and more. The first film being shown in the premium format will be War for the Planet of the Apes, which has already seen success in 4DX in other markets internationally.

Since making its European debut in 2012, 4DX has expanded throughout the continent and is now operating in Russia, Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Croatia, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Romania, Turkey, Portugal, Slovakia, Serbia, Norway, France, and Austria. As of August 2017, more than 6,900 4DX seats have been installed at 53 screens in these 17 European countries, with the capacity to accommodate nearly 12.6 million moviegoers per year throughout the continent. The European 4DX footprint accounts for 13 percent of the 395 4DX screens worldwide.

“As pioneers in the Austrian movie industry, we are thrilled to bring this luxury, innovative technology to our moviegoers,” said Mario Hueber, CEO of Hollywood Megaplex. “Opening this first 4DX site at our Gasometer location is an incredible milestone for us and we are excited for the positive response from our patrons.”

Hollywood Megaplex is the second largest multiplex exhibitor in Austria, currently operating five theatres and 56 screens. In addition to Gasometer, Hollywood Megaplex locations include the capitals of Tyrol (Innsbruck), Lower Austria (St. Pölten), and Upper Austria (Linz) – the latter being the home of Austria’s top-grossing theatre.

“It is a great pleasure for us to continue to introduce this unprecedented, fun experience to new European locations, and we are confident that Austrian fans of all genres – from action-adventure to family films – will enjoy 4DX as much as other audiences throughout the world,” said Byung-Hwan Choi, CEO of CJ 4DPLEX. “Hollywood Megaplex Gasometer is an ideal location for the first 4DX theatre in Austria, and we cannot wait to help our new partner deliver unrivalled movie experiences that will continue to change the movie-going paradigm.”

Apeiron's ADS1000 now capable of pooling multiple U.2 Optane SSDs in same enclosure or network as NAND SSDs for multi-tier NVMe interoperability

Folsom, CA (PRWEB) August 04, 2017

Apeiron Data Systems announced today the full qualification and general availability of Intel’s Optane technology in the 2.5” U.2 format. Apeiron provides native NVMe networking, which means NVMe drives of any type and from any supplier can be used in the same storage enclosure(s). The option to aggregate multiple Optane drives in a high performance NVMe network means significant optimization of the server environment. A standard 1U server can accommodate only two Optane Add In Cards (AIC’s). Apeiron’s Externally attached Optane enables the customer to “pool” many more drives per server, and present them across the environment from a single device. Each ADS1000 enclosure provides up to 24 NVMe drives in a 2U form factor, this includes a fully integrated switched fabric with 32 ports of native NVMe over Ethernet connectivity. Each enclosure can be networked together to build a massively scalable “grid” of both Optane and NAND NVMe SSDs, coexisting in the same enclosures.

Apeiron’s Chief Revenue Officer and VP of Marketing Jeff Barber says: “The ability to pool and share Optane is absolutely unique to the industry, and has massive implications to environments such as HPC, Spark and video services. The consistency of Optane’s write performance coupled with the ADS1000’s scalability changes the conversation about how this memory class drive technology can be used. The customer is no longer constrained by the physical limitations of the AIC form factor in a server. The ability to pool and grow this memory class storage to PetaByte scale via a robust NVMe network provides new options for Optane. One example would be to pool and share Optane across the environment as a high-speed cache layer, with all the safety of persistent storage.”

Apeiron’s ADS1000 provides a native NVMe over Ethernet storage network. Storage management is moved to the application server instead of an embedded/proprietary controller. This results in the elimination of the #1 bottleneck to server and storage performance. A fully integrated storage network is integrated, which transports and acknowledges the transactions in under 3.0 micro-seconds. The fact that there is no protocol processing on the device means 100% linear scalability. The system simply looks like captive storage to the application.

If you would like more information about this topic, please contact Jeff A. Barber at 1-800-701-0243 or email at info(at)apeirondata.com.

CareDx to present AlloSure update at American Association of Clinical Chemistry Annual Meeting.

Brisbane, CA (PRWEB) August 04, 2017

CareDx, Inc. (NASDAQ:CDNA), a molecular diagnostics company focusing on the discovery, development and commercialization of clinically differentiated, high-value diagnostic solutions for transplant patients, described rigorous evidence of the analytical robustness of AlloSure testing at the annual American Association of Clinical Chemistry Annual Meeting on Wednesday, August 2, 2017.

Two presentations highlighted the best-in-class analytical performance of AlloSure, CareDx’s non-invasive laboratory developed test intended to assess the probability of allograft rejection in kidney transplant recipients with clinical suspicion of rejection and to inform clinical decision-making about the necessity of invasive kidney biopsy.

• B-443: Evaluation of Cell-Free DNA Recovery During Extraction Using a Next Generation Sequencing Assay
• B-444: Standardized Reagent Formulation and Data-driven QC Criteria Ensure Efficient and Consistent Delivery of Plasma Cell-free DNA Results for Organ Transplant Rejection

The studies presented demonstrate the reproducibility, linearity and robust recovery of cell free DNA (cfDNA) from patient plasma, and the development of clinical-grade standardized reagents and cGMP processes used in the manufacture of AlloSure. “This level of analytical assay development, process control, and integration of National Institute of Standards and Technology first genome reference material provides the utmost confidence in the accurate measurement of the exceptionally low amounts of donor derived cfDNA found in kidney transplant patients,” states Mitch Nelles, Ph.D. Chief Operating Officer of CareDx.

About CareDx

CareDx, Inc., headquartered in Brisbane, California, is a molecular diagnostics company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of clinically differentiated, high-value solutions for transplant recipients. CareDx offers products across the transplant testing continuum, including AlloMap® and AlloSure™ for post-transplant surveillance and Olerup SSP®, Olerup QTYPE®, and Olerup SBT™ for pre-transplant HLA testing.

medTV is a secure, easy to use tablet and TV designed for patients; medTV is like a smart phone so it’s easy for patients to understand as soon as they touch it. Yet it is even better since it’s designed for infection control, assembled in USA, securely mounted so it won’t be stolen, it is continuously powered and medTV also offers facility brand customization, telehealth, and is scalable for healthcare providers to add apps that improve patient engagement, patient satisfaction and apps that improve health outcomes.

Springboro, OH (PRWEB) August 04, 2017

To continue their mission of improving patient experience with digital technology, on August 1, 2017, PDi Communication Systems Inc., the nation’s largest manufacturer of healthcare-grade entertainment solutions, unveiled a new brand of interactive patient touchscreen televisions coined medTV®. medTV delivers a meaningful digital experience designed around the patient.

“PDi created medTV to provide patients with a seamless, easy to use tablet and TV in one. Improving patient experience is at the core of everything we do.” says Marisa Vilardo, Product Manager of PDi Communication Systems, Inc. “medTV is much more than a great TV. It provides patients with everything from access to their social networks, games, education, or even picking up where they left off on their favorite binge-worthy TV series.”

“medTV: patient experience on demand” was imagined as the modern, simplified message to quickly convey the benefits medTV delivers: “comfort and a home-like experience” to patients and “easy-to-implement and customizable” benefits to healthcare providers. The new medTV is like a smart phone so it’s easy for patients to understand as soon as they touch it. Yet it is even better since it’s designed for infection control, securely mounted so it won’t be stolen, and it is continuously powered. medTV also offers facility brand customization and is scalable for healthcare providers to add apps and features to improve patient engagement, patient education, and patient satisfaction.

“When creating this product and brand, we focused on simplicity and usefulness,” said Cat Saettel, Marketing Manager. “We asked ‘What provides the most value to patients and their caregivers?’ The PDi team made sure we created a meaningful solution that solves problems instead of creating problems - which technology can often do if not designed well. While medTV is easy-to-use, it is also easy to implement and affordable for smaller community hospitals or health clinics.”

Jim Mick, General Manager had this to say, “medTV is an exciting new product for PDi that improves the patient’s overall entertainment experience while addressing many of the needs and concerns facing healthcare facilities working to achieve better outcome-based results. medTV is a simple interactive solution, guaranteed to benefit the patient and their healthcare provider.”

medTV is delivered on the individual interactive touchscreen device models for sale today called “medTAB14” and “medTAB19”. This naming convention correlates with the two sizes of touchscreens PDi offers, 14” and 19” patient devices.

PDi also manufactures the complete bedside solution including swing arms, mounts and low-voltage power supplies. The arm mounts are specifically designed to be placed close to patients so they are able to adjust the bedside medTV device to the most comfortable viewing position and touch to interact with apps like many already do at home, without a pain in the neck. “It’s just a better overall experience versus hand held tablets or than the most commonly seen flatscreen television placed across the room.” said Cat Saettel. “This bedside personal system can be enjoyed by family and visitors too. It reduces noise and light in the room. Many people may not realize this, but a 14” screen placed in close proximity offers the same visual experience as a 90” screen across the room. That beats the average 32” or 42” screen size in a patient room.”

For PDi, medTV is just the beginning of a modern brand legacy to engage patients. The healthcare market is ready to implement easy to understand technology that entertains and delivers information to improve health outcomes. Plus with telehealth capability, health administrators are certain to realize additional benefits to meeting patient engagement initiatives using medTV.

The Vietnam Inland Waterways Administration (VIWA) joins the Iowa Flood Center, the Philippine Flood Warning System, and other organizations in using Senix ToughSonic® sensors to modernize their water-level monitoring, tidal measurements, or flood warning systems.

Hinesburg, Vermont (PRWEB) August 04, 2017

Many governmental organizations around the world are responding to increased flooding and rising seas by modernizing their water-level monitoring systems. The Vietnam Inland Waterways Administration (VIWA) joins the Iowa Flood Center, the Philippine Flood Warning System, and other organizations in using Senix ToughSonic® sensors to modernize their water-level monitoring, tidal measurements, or flood warning systems. The VIWA has jurisdiction over more than 3,700 miles of riverways, maintains more than 14,000 navigation aids, and operates 77 ports including four seaports.

The VIWA is implementing a network of forty water-level stations to automate the entire inland waterways management system in Vietnam. HYMETCO – Vietnam Environmental and Hydro-Meteorological Equipment JSC – has built and installed eight of the first stations, utilizing Senix ToughSonic REMOTE 50 sensors. HYMETCO chose Senix sensors after testing several other ultrasonic sensors that either failed to perform adequately or were not as rugged. Application engineer Hung Nguyen with HYMETCO said, “Senix ToughSonic sensors have a robust structure that can endure the weather conditions in Vietnam – a lot of rain and humidity.”

ToughSonic sensors utilize ultrasonic soundwaves to measure water levels without placing anything in the water – reducing maintenance and installation costs and increasing overall system reliability. HYMETCO designed, built, and installed small solar-powered steel tower measurement stations that include a horizontal arm stretching over the water. This arm holds the ToughSonic sensor “looking” down at the water surface. Electrical signals from the sensor are fed into a data logger mounted to the tower which then transmits data via a 3G cell connection to the centralized data management system in Hanoi. That system aggregates the data from sensors across Vietnam to interactive digital maps for monitoring and decision-making by coastal waterways officials.

About Senix Corporation:

Since 1990, Senix has delivered more than 92,000 non-contact ultrasonic sensors. Senix ToughSonic sensors, known for their durability and flexibility, are in use today in applications as varied as measuring the height of children; controlling mirror focus in flight simulators; maintaining the fly-height of the America’s Cup hydrofoil boats; ensuring smooth manufacturing of metals and plastics; measuring liquid levels in water, diesel and chemical tanks; monitoring irrigation system water levels; detecting trees in orchards to conserve agricultural spray chemicals; and, of course, to monitor water levels in flood warning systems.

Why scientists have found new hope in NK cell promotion.

La Jolla, CALIF. (PRWEB) August 05, 2017

While studying the immunotherapeutic properties of various functional foods, researchers at the University of Tokyo Graduate School of Medicine have identified a unique phytochemical compound produced in trace amounts within the broccoli vegetable.

Further research has indicated that this phytochemical, called brolico, acts as a potent stimulator for important innate immune system cells, such as NK cells and neutrophils, tasked with front-line defense of the body.

Results from the research that though the amount of the compound contained within a single serving of broccoli is not large enough to facilitate bioavailability, if the brolico phytochemical is extracted in a manner which produces concentrated volumes of the compound, consumption of this extracted form can produce higher levels of immune cell activation.

NK cells are a type of white blood cell created in the bone marrow of the lymphatic system. Their primary function is to identify and eliminate tumor cells and virally-infected cells by releasing lethal membrane-toxic proteins designed to induce lysis (death) of the targeted cell. Unlike other immune cells, NK cells are equipped with specialized receptors which allow them to immediately distinguish between tumor cells and healthy cells, enabling them to directly induce the death of a tumor cell, without damaging any of the healthy tissue surrounding it.

Speaking to the NK cell activation effects of the brolico compound, Dr. Hiroki Kinoshita, a research partner in the study, stated “it’s a very exciting discovery, and we are just at the beginning of understanding what it can mean for people who are fighting cancer, or want to prevent cancer. We know that NK cells are some of the most important cells in the immune system, but just like everything else, these cells decrease with age. Just think of the difference it could make if we found a natural source to counteract that, and keep these cells active throughout a person’s entire lifetime.”

Dr. Yoshinobu Abe, President of Shonan Medical Clinic Shinjuku, which specializes in cancer immunotherapy, has expressed confidence in the reported effects of the brolico phytochemical and its implications for advancing the field of immunotherapy. As such, he has indicated that he has begun to incorporate the extracted brolico compound into the daily dietary regime of his patients.

Preclinical trials, and an exploratory human trial published in the peer-reviewed journal Japanese Pharmacology and Therapeutics, have been used to established a pattern of increased innate immune system activity, but additional research is still underway to broaden the understanding and substantiate the consistency of these effects.

Funding activity represents a near 150 percent increase over the same period in 2016.

(PRWEB) August 05, 2017

In the first half of 2017, startups at the Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC), the state of Georgia’s technology incubator, raised more than $50.6 million in investment capital.

The activity, which includes seed and Series A funding, is a jump of 145.6 percent from the comparable period in 2016, where ATDC companies reported investment activity of $20.6 million.

“Investors come to ATDC to meet our startups because they are extremely vetted and well coached,” said Michael Maziar, ATDC’s investor relations manager. “We work closely with our companies to get them to the critical stage in their growth cycles where they are positioned to meet investors and close deals.”

“Through our Invest Connect program, we proactively facilitate connections between our companies and the investment community in Georgia and throughout the U.S. We regularly host meetings for investors to meet with our companies and earlier this year, we took a carefully curated group of 11 Atlanta startups to pitch to more than 30 key venture capitalists in San Francisco.”

The money raised is only a small testament to the hard work of the ATDC companies and the staff that prepares them for funding, which includes our catalysts top-quality entrepreneurs in residence (EIRs), and volunteer mentors, Maziar said. “Through our tools, contacts, and individual and collective expertise, ATDC has created a world-renowned technology incubator experience for our companies.”

While much of the funding activity in the first half of 2017 occurred in the financial technology (FinTech) sector — First Performance and Greenlight Financial Technology raised $17.5 million and $7.5 million, respectively — ATDC startups in other sectors, including health care, advanced manufacturing, and predictive analytics also raised capital.

“Being a part of ATDC has been critical to Greenlight's growth. Not only have they provided an excellent environment for attracting top talent, they have helped connect us to investors, advisors, and more,” said Tim Sheehan, Greenlight’s chief executive officer.

A FinTech company, Greenlight’s technology allows parents to allocate money via a specially designed debit card for kids to be used at specific stores and merchants. ATDC staff facilitated Greenlight’s meeting with New Enterprise Associates (NEA), which invested in the company’s $7.5 million raise. A global venture capital firm based in Menlo Park, Calif. NEA has more than $19 billion in cumulative committed capital.

“We were instantly excited about the team at Greenlight,” said Vanessa Larco, partner at NEA. “They have a ton of experience, truly understand customer needs, and are driven by an excellent product that addresses a new niche within the FinTech space. ATDC has been a great partner—they’ve taken the time to understand our investment thesis and have initiated relevant and worthwhile introductions.”

“We’ve had great experiences with ATDC startups,” Larco said. “I have a deep appreciation for ATDC; the access to technical talent, Georgia Tech resources, and other company building tools they provide form a valuable platform to set startups up for success.”

Sudu, a technology-based logistics ATDC company, raised $2 million in the first half of 2017. Amari Ruff is CEO and co-founder of the company, which connects small, minority, women, or veteran-owned trucking companies with large corporations that have supplier diversity initiatives.

Ruff initially joined ATDC Educate, the incubator’s entry-level program, and formed Sudu after validating the market need and fit. The company was then accepted into ATDC Accelerate, the program where early-stage companies work on their go-to-market strategy and prove customer traction. The top-tier of the incubator’s membership is ATDC Signature, which Sudu joined earlier this year along with a diverse portfolio of technology companies focused on growing their customer base, revenues and profits.

“Being a part of ATDC and the coaching we received set the foundation to help us build a great business,” Ruff said. “If we weren’t a part of this program, we wouldn’t be where we are today.”

A benefit of membership at the ATDC is access to talent and resources at Georgia Tech. Sudu has been working with Georgia Tech’s Supply Chain and Logistics Institute, among other programs and utilizes big data, predictive analytics, and machine learning in its technology to match shippers and suppliers, and optimize routes, thus eliminating empty miles for drivers.

Jamie Hamilton managing partner of the Atlanta Seed Company, which was the lead investor in Sudu’s recent round, said ATDC’s 37-year legacy as an incubator makes a compelling difference.

“Look at the number of successful businesses that have gotten their start there at ATDC and the people involved, like General Manager Jen Bonnett, as well as Georgia Tech’s involvement tied into the research and talent and engineers that these companies have access to,” Hamilton said. “ATDC does a tremendous job of bringing all of that together, and for an investor it’s all wrapped up in a bow.”

ABOUT ATDC:

The Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC), a program of the Georgia Institute of Technology, is the state of Georgia’s technology startup incubator. Founded in 1980 by the Georgia General Assembly which funds it each year, ATDC’s mission is to work with entrepreneurs in Georgia to help them learn, launch, scale, and succeed in the creation of viable, disruptive technology companies. Since its founding, ATDC has grown to become one of the longest running and most successful university-affiliated incubators in the United States, with its graduate startup companies raising $3 billion in investment financing and generating more than $12 billion in revenue in the state of Georgia.

Celebrating 10 Years of Desktop SEM Innovation

Phoenix, Arizona (PRWEB) August 05, 2017

Nanoscience Instruments is proud to introduce the 5th generation Phenom Pro and ProX SEMs by Phenom-World. The introduction of this new generation SEM celebrates ten years of Desktop SEM innovation from Phenom World. The new generation features enhanced imaging, 20 percent real electro-optical resolution improvement, new software to significantly widen application range, and an optional secondary electron detector (SED). The Phenom maintains its hallmark ease of use with the NeverLost navigation and automated stage. The performance of the 5th Generation Phenom SEM offers an alternative to floor model SEMs in multiple applications including materials science, manufacturing, electronics, earth science, life sciences, education, and more.

“Breakthroughs in research happen when technology is made intuitive, easier to use and accessible to everyone,” says Mark Flowers co-owner and co-founder of Nanoscience Instruments. “The 5th Generation Phenom is making that a reality with the addition of several advanced features. SEM users are realizing that solutions can be found without the cumbersome and expensive full-size floor model SEM. Customers have found that the low cost-of-entry desktop for SEMs combined with the advanced features can be used in applications that previously used floor model systems. This speaks to the continued innovation that Phenom-World has brought to this market for the past ten years. This next generation SEM will only accelerate this trend.”

Advanced New Features

“The advanced features of the Generation 5 usher in capabilities previously only seen in floor model SEM systems, at a fraction of the expense,” says Dr. Sebastian Kossek, co-owner and co-founder of Nanoscience Instruments. “Imaging is improved with the new electronics and improved lens, the result of which is at least a 20% resolution improvement. The optional, high-end SED extends applications to situations that require more sensitivity to surface structure. The Generation 5 SEMs also allows the user to image materials that are very sensitive to beam damage. The application programming interface (API) is powerful and makes it easier for users to optimize imaging and image processing for their own application needs. Additionally, on the Phenom ProX, an optional fully-integrated energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) detector lets users analyze elemental composition and distribution at the microscopic scale. This next generation now has glove box compatibility allowing imaging of highly-reactive materials that need to be handled in an inert gas environment, such as argon or nitrogen.”

The Phenom Pro and ProX Generation 5 SEMs come with all the unique features that have made their predecessors a success. The robust equipment features vibration-isolating platforms and allow easy sample handling delivering images in approximately 30 seconds. The Cerium Hexaboride (CeB6) electron source offers a longer-lifetime and brighter illumination than traditional tungsten filaments. The brightness of the source yields high caliber image quality, even in low vacuum conditions when analyzing non-conductive samples.

Dr. Kossek emphasized, “This new generation of SEMs clearly shows the commitment to innovation that is the hallmark to the Phenom desktop SEM. The aim is to make imaging and analysis available to every scientist in every lab. The commitment to make customers’ jobs easier, so they can achieve their goals faster, is demonstrated in the growing capability of desktop SEMs. The Phenom has become the first choice for many high-end applications.”

Payday loans is as much a part of American society as debt itself, and National Debt Relief shares ways on how to avoid such types of debt. The article titled “Avoid Payday Loans – Here’s What You Can Do Instead” and released July 17, 2017 helps consumers explore other options to allow people the chance to stay away from payday loans.

Denver, CO (PRWEB) August 05, 2017

Payday loans is as much a part of American society as debt itself and National Debt Relief shares ways on how to avoid such types of debt. The article titled “Avoid Payday Loans – Here’s What You Can Do Instead” and released July 17, 2017 helps consumers explore other options to allow people the chance to stay away from payday loans.

The article starts off by explaining that payday loans are usually the go-to option for people who experience unexpected expenses. These types of loans are ideal as they are able to process applications in a short amount of time. However, exorbitant fees and interest awaits consumers who are unable to pay it off the next payday and this is where a lot of people gets trapped where the vicious cycle of debt stats.

The article shares that one thing people can do is to properly assess their situation. One thing that can come come out of it is understanding if they really need a loan or not. There are times when emotions could cloud judgement and make people misread their actual need. The article also explains that once people have their facts straight, they are less likely to act out of despair and agree to high fees.

Consumers who find themselves in a financial emergency can also look into banks and credit unions according to the article. These financial institutions oftentimes offer short-term loans to the public at competitive rates. The challenging part is looking around and identifying and applying for a loan with these institutions but they are better options than payday lenders.

It also pays to save up early and consistently and that is one point the article wants to share with the readers. As emergencies often comes when people least expect it, one of the best proactive solutions is saving up for it. As the article shares, a few dollars a day could either mean people get to save enough to cover their unexpected need or borrow only a fraction of the amount they need.
