As new research reveals the health risks associated with loneliness, insurance technology expert Aquarium Software says its own research suggests pets can be the perfect antidote to being home alone.

(PRWEB) November 23, 2017

The Jo Cox Commission on Loneliness found that three quarters of older people in the UK are lonely. Over half have never told anyone, and seven in ten said friends and family would probably be surprised by how they feel.

YouGov research commissioned last year by Aquarium Software, 26 per cent said the main reason for having a pet was companionship, while 36 per cent had a pet when separated or divorced and a massive 66 per cent said the main reason was being widowed. With an estimated 1.1 million ‘chronically lonely’ people in the UK and 17 per cent of older people having human contact less than once a week, could a bit of animal magic provide at least part of the answer?

“All the research suggests pets have a huge role to play in helping solve the national loneliness crisis engulfing the UK,” said Aquarium Software Director, Mark Colonnese. “A quarter of people already say pets provide companionship and perhaps the estimated eight million lonely men need to consider investing in ‘man’s best friend’. The latest technology means owning and insuring a pet is more affordable than ever and price alone is no longer a barrier to pets tackling what is fast becoming one of the contemporary health challenges of the developed world.”

The Royal College of General Practitioners has said loneliness can be as bad as long-term illnesses like diabetes, and while the RSPCA and others have pointed out pets encourage owners to interact with other people, Aquarium research suggests the picture may not be so simple: “No-one in our research study said that they had a pet to make it easier to meet new people, which is perhaps surprising,” added Colonnese. “Given the seemingly compelling convergence of research data, however, perhaps pet ownership and pet insurance could be offered as health benefits on the NHS in the future,” concluded Mark.

Aquarium Software’s specialist pet insurance solution spanning premiums rating, policy admin, billing and claims has been implemented by a number of insurers around the globe. For further information contact Aquarium Software on +44 (0)161 927 5620 or visit http://www.aquarium-software.com

REALECOIN™ introduces the World's First Tokenized Real estate investment fund that allows cryptocurrency holders to invest in the US real estate market with digital currencies.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) December 04, 2017

Great news for crypto-currency holders who want to diversify their holdings. NYC-based digital currency startup REALECOIN™ has created the World's first real estate investment fund which will accept cryptocurrencies, along with traditional fiat currencies.

The revolutionary tokenized real estate investment fund will acquire income-generating, institutional quality, multi-family housing units in New York City and other opportunistic US markets which need renovation or redevelopment. The Fund will acquire properties, improve them, refinance its equity investment in these properties, and re-deploy cash into additional properties. The Fund will additionally pay dividends to token holders out of the rental income.

At the heart of REALECOIN™ is its underlying crypto-token, RC™. RC™ is an ERC20-compliant crypto-token which will exist on top of the Ethereum blockchain. The RC™ token is a security token, which means that it is a financial security. Since this token is a financial security, REALECOIN™ emphasizes its adherence to securities laws and regulations in the United States. Accordingly, REALECOIN™ will only sell its tokens to accredited investors.

REALECOIN™ was founded by Ruben Azrak, an experienced NYC-based real estate investor, entrepreneur and angel investor. Additionally, Mr. Azrak formerly co-founded Phat Farm, an urban clothing line, with hip hop legend and entrepreneur Russell Simmons, which they sold for $140 million in 2004. Mr. Azrak has been an active real estate investor since the 1970’s, during which he has amassed an impressive real estate portfolio worth over $200 million, including many properties in New York City. He has invested in over 140 startups, including angel investments in Dropbox, Instacart, Github, Hyperloop One, Brave and Hotel Tonight.

Mr. Azrak says: “We are excited to bring to you the world’s first tokenized real estate investment fund REALECOIN™. We know a lot of people who are holding huge blocks of cryptocurrencies are looking to diversify their holdings into alternative coins and we feel we offer a solution to that problem. REALECOIN™ offers them that much awaited opportunity to multiply their ROIs from bitcoin (or other cryptocurrencies) through its breakthrough real estate investment fund. We believe that the value of RC™ will increase in value, as the underlying real estate appreciates. The US realty sector shows a booming growth at present and there cannot be a better timing for cryptocurrency holders to invest in REALECOIN™.”

Other team members and advisors come from some of the most reputable companies within the World of real estate, technology, cybersecurity and finance. These companies include Microsoft, Intel capital, HSBC, Citigroup, Lending Club, Cushman and Wakefield, Morgan Stanley and American Express. Mr. Azrak states: "Our goal is to provide our company with an institutional quality team to establish the integrity and credibility that the cryptocurrency industry demands at these stages of its nascent growth. Each day we add new team members that add value to Realecoin and will continue to do so in the immediate future as we prepare for our offering in 2018.”

What makes REALECOIN™ different from most other cryptocurrency projects is that it is a tokenized investment fund. Each RC™ token is essentially a share in the investment fund. RC™ is not your regular alt-tokens. While most alternative tokens are positively correlated with Bitcoin’s price movements, the RC™ token derives its value primarily from the income-producing, real world assets that make up the Fund’s investment portfolio. The Fund anticipates paying dividends to token holders.

Each token represents a fractional equity interest in REALECOIN™. The token sale has a hard cap of $50 million and a minimum raise of $5 million. REALECOIN™ will accept funds from accredited investors in one of the following currencies: US Dollars (USD), Euro (EUR), Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Ripple (XRP), and Litecoin (LTC). If the Fund fails to raise the minimum of $5 million, the funds would be returned to investors. Mr. Azrak will contribute up 10-20% of his own capital in the form of equity for each investment and also sign for any loans or leverage used on a project by project basis.

Allowing a child to sleep in a car seat can be dangerous, according to a recent study. BestCarSeatHub looks into the problem and determines whether or not there is a useful solution that parents can incorporate today without buying a new car seat.

(PRWEB) December 04, 2017

By now, almost everyone knows just how crucial it is to always transport any child in a car seat – whether they are going down the road or across the country. As parents, avoiding any and all causes of danger should be the primary thought at all times. But what happens if the one thing that is supposed to protect the child can actually cause serious harm? Recent research has found that transporting a child in a car seat and allowing him or her to fall asleep may actually cause damage. Falling asleep, especially when no one is there to look after the baby (like when mom or dad is driving), can cause the baby to get strangled by the very straps that were to keep him or her safe.

Sleeping Isn’t the Only Problem

The use of infant seats decreases infant fatal injuries in a car by 71 percent, per a study completed by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission. During this investigation, they found that the injuries in the other 29% were caused, mostly, by positional asphyxia.

Technology Can Improve Safety

Recently, student of Sycamore High School created a device for car seats to alert parents about the danger of the child's health, especially when a parent is driving and paying more attention to the traffic and not what is happening inside of the car. After all, most parents think their babies are safe with them. Student designed the Breath Safe System that keeps parents informed without pulling their attention from the road. Continue reading on the blog from Best Car Seat Hub for more information about how it integrates into an existing system.

There are many other forms of technology available on the market today as well. In some stores (though it is somewhat rare), parents can find a variety of clips and supports for the baby's neck. However, most parents feel like their children aren’t comfortable enough or that they don’t fall asleep as quickly or something similar – but that might be a worthwhile trade. In time, a child will get used to the feeling.

Emma Lachey, the founder of the project BestCarSeatHUB, believes that the time has come for smarter technology when it comes to car seats. She believes that it's pretty cool that technology can help parents and their children be safer, smarter, and better off. Breath Safe System needs to be modified to add features checking the temperature or heartbeat for it to be a complete system. I think that working as a community of parents we will be able to come up with a better solution and offer it to manufacturers.

Raina Seital, Emmy Winning Journalist, Discusses Tips for a No-Stress Holiday Season

NEW YORK (PRWEB) December 04, 2017

‘Tis the season to get-together and celebrate the holidays with friends and family. From entertaining to grocery shopping, this time of year is filled with cheerful, holiday flavors to enjoy during all of your seasonal moments. Recently, Entertaining expert Raina Seitel teamed up with PepsiCo and YourUpdateTV to discuss how to plan for the holidays, and give suggestions for festive ready-to-serve food and drinks that your guests will love.

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/EvpeEX0Ab5M

According to a recent survey, 62% of respondents described their stress level as “very or somewhat” elevated during the holidays. Managing holiday festivities in a way that makes everyone happy and minimizes stress can be difficult – here are some tips:

When entertaining, do as much as you can ahead of time and keep it simple. Limited-time, season food and drinks are perfect to serve for your guests to enjoy. A must have snack are Lay’s Wavy Potato Chips Dipped in Milk Chocolate which are the perfect combination of salty and sweet. Then for beverages, try Pepsi Salted Caramel which has the refreshing taste of cola with a delicious caramel finish. Other great holiday drinks to sip on are Mtn. Dew Holiday Brew, a blend of Green and Code Red Mtn. Dew, and IZZE’s Cranberry Orange Spice which really taste like the holidays

For any guests that spend the night, have a variety of breakfast options at the ready. Life Cereal is a family favorite and this season it’s available in a festive Pumpkin and Gingerbread flavors. If you need a morning pick-me-up, Peppermint Mocha Lattes from Starbucks are sure to wake you right up with the holiday spirit.

If you’re able to snag some quiet time, the perfect family snack are these Cheetos Snowflakes which have a delicious white cheddar taste. Or if you’re in the mood for a cinnamon treat, Sweetos Holiday Cinnamon Sugar is a must.

CHICAGO (PRWEB) December 05, 2017

G2 Crowd, the world’s leading business solutions review website, today announced the appointment of Ryan Bonnici as chief marketing officer. Bringing more than a decade of experience developing cutting-edge sales and marketing programs for some of the world’s leading enterprise technology companies, Bonnici will serve a key role as a member of G2 Crowd’s executive team, focused on strengthening the company’s positioning in the B2B reviews marketplace.

We believe he has what it takes to do the same for G2 Crowd, which is why we’re excited to have him onboard as we prepare for the future.”

Prior to joining G2 Crowd, Bonnici served as a senior marketing leader at many of world’s most innovative technology companies, from HubSpot to Salesforce, Microsoft and ExactTarget. In his most recent position as senior director of Global Marketing for HubSpot, he helped create triple digit growth for the company’s marketing-generated sales revenue.

In his new role, Bonnici will oversee all planning, development and execution of the company’s marketing programs, with special focus on growing G2 Crowd’s brand. He will also be focusing on achieving aggressive growth targets and evangelizing the company’s efforts to revolutionize B2B buying . The company is at an exciting point in it’s growth curve and is looking to build on its record expansion in 2017 with more rapid increases in 2018 and beyond.

“Having served in sales and marketing leadership roles for many years, I’ve seen first-hand the need for real-time user reviews to help businesses make better buying decisions,” said Ryan Bonnici, CMO of G2 Crowd. “Now, I have an opportunity to help spread the message that companies shouldn’t have to sit through demo after demo or review outdated reports from analysts to discover which business products or services are going to meet their needs.

In addition to the team growth, G2 Crowd expanded beyond business products into services. The company also launched a charitable giving program, G2 Gives, which has raised tens of thousands of dollars for charities and nonprofits nationwide.

PURA is the world’s first payment-cryptocurrency for the common good and environmental sustainability. PURA is calling for Early Adopters from nonprofit or prosocial organizations and Merchant Early Adopters for those looking to tap into our worldwide network.

(PRWEB) December 05, 2017

PURA is the world’s first payment-cryptocurrency for the common good and environmental sustainability. This coin funds fully-transparent, blockchain-tracked, sustainable, environmental and social projects around the globe which removes the need to simply trust a nonprofit or pro-social cause based on good faith alone. PURA is calling for Early Adopters from nonprofit or pro-social organizations and Merchant Early Adopters for those looking to tap into our worldwide network.

PURA takes the political empowerment of individuals to the next level. By placing the decision-making power and the organizational funds into the hands of its end-users, PURA provides a decentralized and automated process. By getting non-profit or pro-social causes onto the blockchain, donations get tracked, the spending of funds is transparent, and fund recipients are held accountable to the community. This will prevent the need to trust a central organizer based on good faith alone.

“PURA is a dynamic cryptocurrency that will bring a new way for organizations to manage and fund themselves. The accountability is an integral part of the process in any organization and with PURA, we can bring that to the common man,” says John Hogan, marketing specialist for PURA. “The decentralized platform can be used for sustainable causes that include environmental, governmental and others.”

“We would like to bring the process of the blockchain and the cryptocurrency to every organization so that the power of the purse is on a decentralized platform.”

By pioneering new societal organizations, PURA provides a way for people to not only be their own bank, but to get a taste for what it could be like to be their own government. The best thing about this development is that it is open source -- public for everyone.

To download your electronic wallet, purchase PURA on an online exchange. Join this international movement that is all community-driven and all decentralized. Find more information visit http://www.pura.one

PURA distinguishes itself from other cryptocurrencies through its deep commitment to encourage social responsibility and to protect the planet. As the world’s first socially and environmentally conscious cryptocurrency, PURA will soon be programmed by protocol design to contribute 10% of its mining rewards to sustain the common good.

TraknProtect Panic Buttons Integrate with the Virtual Management Presence Surveillance Response Platform for Enhanced Security and Incident Reporting

CHICAGO (PRWEB) December 05, 2017

TraknProtect, the only real-time tracking, safety, and analytics software platform for back-of-the-house hotel operations, today announced a new partnership with Virtual Management Presence, a cloud-based security solution providing real-time, actionable intelligence using military-grade analytics, professional investigators, safety button responses, and detailed reporting for the hospitality industry and other markets.

The partnership agreement integrates the TraknProtect Panic Button with Virtual Management Presence’s security and surveillance platform to create the first panic button solution to blend employee real-time location during an emergency with a live video feed from security cameras from that area. The TraknProtect Panic Button uses Bluetooth and WiFi to track the employee upon a panic button deployment, which communicates with the Virtual Management Presence platform to enable camera tracking and zooming of the employee, even if the employee flees or is forcibly moved to a new location on the property.

“As we have seen, there is a greater need for security and safety everywhere – including hotels. As hotels look to provide that level of peace of mind to their employees, at TraknProtect we want to provide cutting edge technology that helps them protect their employees and their guests,” states Parminder Batra, CEO of TraknProtect. “As hotels assess technologies that can survive their evolving security and safety needs, TraknProtect and its partners, like Virtual Management Presence, are helping them think five years ahead instead of solving the problem just for the short-term.”

Because the TraknProtect Panic Button is able to provide ongoing, real-time location of the employee and combine it with the Virtual Management Presence video capture and security, valuable data can be captured during an emergency allowing security and other first responders to have visibility into the situation as they prepare to intervene. In addition to the immediate emergency features, hotels can also seamlessly create an incident report that includes data captured from the panic button that automatically logs the digital video file.

“Emerging technologies adapted for the hospitality industry provide unique advantages in how hotel management secures their assets, protects their employees, and enhances the bottom line,” states Martin Kwitschau, CEO of Virtual Management Presence. “Virtual Management Presence increases safety, facility coverage, and overall security effectiveness by leveraging the power of its Surveillance Acquisition Response Center in concert with TraknProtect Panic Buttons. This powerful combination enables hoteliers to provide a greater level of security to its guests and employees while protecting assets and safeguarding against false claims.”

Please visit http://www.traknprotect.com to find more information about TraknProtect’s suite of hotel operations solutions.

About TraknProtect

TraknProtect is the only “Internet of things” (IoT) infrastructure for back-of-the-house operations at hotels. Through its proprietary app, TraknProtect hotel customers have access to real-time locations and data about their inventory, room service trays, and vendor activity on property, all on a single platform. The TraknProtect app also offers panic buttons for staff that provide instant alerts and locations of employees in need of assistance. TraknProtect is enabling hotels to enhance guest satisfaction, increase employee efficiency, and improve employee safety throughout their properties. Hotels can also use TraknProtect data analytics to save significant capital costs by making smarter inventory purchasing decisions and better managing outside vendors. For more information, please visit http://www.traknprotect.com.

About Virtual Management Presence:

Virtual Management Presence is the only Security Solution that provides real-time, actionable intelligence using military grade analytics, professional investigators, safety button responses and detailed reporting all included in an affordable platform for a fraction of the cost of hourly security personnel. Our team of experts consist of some of the top security and technology professionals in the world administrating unique methodologies to prevent losses, liabilities, injuries, and damages before they occur. The VMP - Loss Prevention Platform gives you better performance from what you know, identifies what you suspect, uncovers things you never knew and in our newly formed partnership with TraknProtect, provides safer environments for hotel employees.

By applying preconfigured models, these Packs provide high-quality, actionable insights at a fraction of the cost of other solutions.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) December 05, 2017

MeaningCloud, a leading company in text analytics and deep semantic analysis, today announced the launch of its first Vertical Packs, focused on the analysis of the Voice of the Customer and the Voice of the Employee. The Packs provide a version of their analytical solutions adapted to the needs of Marketing, Customer Experience, or Human Resources executives.

In order for text analytics to provide meaningful and actionable insights, the analysis must be adapted to the application domain. To accelerate this process to the maximum, the Vertical Packs combine a set of pre-prepared semantic resources (models and dictionaries) and sophisticated analytical APIs with add-ins for Excel specially adapted for each scenario.

In this way, barriers are lowered both in the configuration of the system and in the generation and consumption of specific insights.

Initially, two Vertical Packs have been published:

• Voice of the Customer: To analyze the feedback of customers in surveys, the contact center, or social media and in industries such as banking, insurance, or retail and categorize it according to the type of product, attribute of quality, channel of interaction, or sentiment.
• Voice of the Employee: To discover the opinions, competences, and concerns that employees express in surveys, performance assessments, or exit interviews, and thus better manage the talent in your organization.

Learn more at MeaningCloud's blog.
