The Gynecology Institute First to Bring Cliovana™ to Chicago


Dr. Nicole Williams is the first practitioner in Chicago to offer Cliovana

A prominent leader in female health, Dr. Williams is introducing Cliovana to the Chicago market by adding this first-of-its-kind treatment to her practice, The Gynecology Institute of Chicago.

Truly satisfying sex is an important part of a woman’s overall physical and emotional well-being at any age, but many women aren’t feeling as much pleasure as they’d like. Cliovana is a simple, completely non-invasive way to increase women’s arousal levels and their orgasm frequency and intensity. Cliovana does not use lasers, scalpels or needles, so there are no dangerous side effects.

Dr. Williams has spent nearly 15 years focusing on improving the lives of women with her innovative and results-driven procedures. Many women want to get more out of sex, but they want to do it in a way that respects their body. Cliovana is the perfect solution because it enhances arousal at the cellular level and causes your body to do more of what it does naturally: regenerate cells.

So how does Cliovana work? The body is always regenerating cells. Cliovana just stimulates the body to do more of that, specifically in the genitals, which can lead to an increase in women’s long-term sexual responsiveness. The technologies employed by Cliovana has been used worldwide for decades to help with a variety of health issues. The treatment is four 10-minute sessions over the course of two weeks. Because it is 100% non-invasive, there is zero downtime.

Each Institute Satellite is virtually connected with the main Institute sessions in Orlando, receiving direct video teaching from Dr. Bailey and sharing real-time, engaging interactions with other Satellite locations. Master Instructors facilitate additional training on-site, supported by a team of Certified Instructors and Helpers.

How To Compare Car Insurance Rates Online


News Image

“Comparing car insurance quotes online is easy, fast and will help you get an affordable coverage”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that explains how to compare car insurance quotes online and find affordable coverage.

For more info and free car insurance quotes online, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/how-to-compare-auto-insurance-rates-online/

Now it is easier and faster to get quotes when compared with the old days when drivers had to talk to an agent. Online car insurance quotes are easy and fast to obtain. Websites like http://compare-autoinsurance.org/ allow customers to get multiple quotes at once and discover the best rates in the area.


  • Online quotes are needed to compare prices. Online quotes are provided by either insurer or by brokerage websites that cooperate with insurers. Either way, it is important to get as many quotes as possible. They present the best estimates, using the info added by the user and insurers’ databases.
  • Make sure to get quotes for exactly the same insurance. Do not compare prices for different products. For example, the price for collision will be totally different from the one for comprehensive because different factors are analyzed. Also, compare for exactly the same extra services
  • Use minimum of 5 quotes to compare offers. Make sure to gather a sufficient number of quotes for a fair comparison. If the quotes are for the same product and are accurate, the prices should not differ a lot.
  • There are two sources for car insurance quotes: from an insurer or from the brokerage website.

If a person gets quotes directly from providers, it would take them about 5-10 minutes to fill in a form and wait for answers. We are talking about extended forms, not submit forms with 3-4 questions. For ten quotes, it may take that person for almost two hours. This is why most people usually stop at 5 quotes using this method.

However, the alternative will provide a high number of quotes in just a couple of minutes. Using brokerage websites will help to get 5-10 quotes on a single results page, with a single search session. After getting a reasonable number of quotes, at least 5, then the customer should start comparing policies. Always make a top of the highest rated companies and try to get quotes from them.

Compare-autoinsurance.org is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website. On this site, customers have access to quotes for insurance plans from various agencies, such as local or nationwide agencies, brand names insurance companies, etc.

Altizon and Deloitte Partner on CK Birla Group-Owned HIL Limited’s IIoT Journey


Deloitte’s consulting expertise and Altizon’s Datonis MInt platform together is a win-win scenario for us.

Altizon Inc. today announced that it is working in collaboration with global consulting firm Deloitte to deliver the first-ever digital transformation project of CK Birla group-owned building material solutions company HIL Ltd.

“We believe a connected factory has the ability to significantly improve the production process by enabling end-to-end product visibility. Further, predictive analytics will aid decision making and promote responsiveness,” said Dhirup Roy Choudhary, CEO & MD of HIL Ltd.

Altizon’s Datonis Manufacturing Intelligence (MInt), a cloud-based platform, enables HIL to connect all machines, products and services to a single network and data platform that facilitates machine-to-machine communication. The Datonis MInt manufacturing data lake combines manufacturing product and process data from multiple sources into a single repository to deliver actionable insights. With the pre-built capabilities of MInt and Deloitte’s consulting expertise, HIL’s first Connected Shop Floor has been launched in its Chennai blocks plant.

Today, real-time machine parameters are being captured through digital logbooks, with plant-level dashboards in place to monitor and review critical parameters. Instant alerts will be instrumental in timely corrective actions.

“The connected shop floor is the first step in our IIoT journey. By connecting the entire shop floor, we are ready with real-time data to take corrective decisions. Our next focus is to predict failures in quality and maintenance, which will increase the plant efficiency. We chose Deloitte as our partners on this Industry 4.0 journey, as they come with deep understanding of the building materials industry and rich expertise in digital transformation. Deloitte’s consulting expertise and Altizon’s Datonis MInt platform together is a win-win scenario for us,” said Murali Raj GR, CIO of HIL Limited.

HIL is banking on digitalization and Industry 4.0 to introduce traceability with the aim of reducing defects and improving asset efficiencies at its plant.

“Companies are beginning to understand the massive impact of Industry 4.0 and exponential technologies are fundamentally transforming the business models and processes. Deloitte’s Manufacturing and Digital acceleration solution brings in domain expertise and the ability to identify the data points that needs to be captured and to be processed that can bring in actionable insights at various levels in the organization. As an outcome, what we are seeing is not an incremental benefit but a step jump in all aspects of business including manufacturing cost, quality improvement and process efficiency.

We believe a connected factory has the ability to significantly improve the production process by enabling end-to-end product visibility. Further, predictive analytics will aid decision making and promote responsiveness. For HIL’s Connected Digital Shop Floor engagement we turned to Altizon and the plug-and-play feature of Datonis MInt significantly accelerated HIL’s Connected Shop Floor rollout,” shared Shridhar Kamath, Partner, Deloitte India.

Following the initial phase focusing on enhanced efficiency, Altizon and Deloitte will help HIL to introduce predictive failures as part of its quality and maintenance process.

“We have always believed that its key for industrial customers to adopt an agile approach to IoT. It has been a pleasure partnering with HIL on their journey toward digital transformation and we can’t wait to move ahead alongside Deloitte for the next phase,” shared Vinay Nathan, CEO of Altizon.
