Emme Masters’s newly released “God Called Her Adam” is a powerful read that centers on women as who they are designed to be rather than who they are told to be


News Image

“God Called Her Adam”: an important exploration through biblically-inspired selections, with spaces for self-reflection, that deal with women and the society they are born into. “God Called Her Adam” is the creation of published author Emme Masters, a woman of strong Christian faith. As a diligent study of God’s Word, writing is her preferred vehicle to educate readers, as well as her method of relaxation, expression, and documentation of her walk with God.

Masters shares, “God called her Adam. Man called her Woman. Fallen Man called her Eve. What do you call her?

“This book was crafted from an earnest search for God’s truth of the female portion of humanity. My goal was to rightfully reflect God’s will for women and His will for me. I couldn’t reconcile the God who created both male and female in His image and gave them dominion with the church teaching of women’s blind obedience to men. I had to know the truth, even if it confirmed that I was to park my mind and follow men. But what I found in God’s word, hidden in plain sight, is that God intended greatness for women from the very beginning.

“I hope you enjoy the fruit of my research and discovery. Most importantly, I hope you allow the Holy Spirit to reveal to you the identity of the Godly woman and that you be her. God called her Adam.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Emme Masters’s new book is a thought-provoking manuscript that reveals the truth of what women deal with every day—being molded into someone lesser than what God blessed them to be.

Consumers can purchase “God Called Her Adam” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

ConnectMe Shown to over 1 Million Leads During Health and Medicare Open Enrollment


ConnectMe Open Enrollment Infographic

ConnectMe Open Enrollment Results

ConnectMe was shown to 1.16 million leads during the 2020 Medicare and Health Open Enrollment period.

ConnectMe, a patented contact technology developed by Gen3Ventures LLC, was shown to 1.16 million leads during the 2020 Medicare and Health (also known as Obamacare) Open Enrollment period, Oct. 15 to Dec. 15, 2019. Over 319,000 of those individuals used ConnectMe to trigger an immediate call between themselves and a Health or Medicare agent. This volume represents an increase of 458% year-over-year as ConnectMe continues to be adopted by more insurance publishers and brokers.

Prior to ConnectMe, lead generators relied almost exclusively on outbound dialing to contact prospective customers. According to research company Forrester, customers who initiate a phone call convert 30% faster, spend 28% more, and have a 28% higher retention rate. ConnectMe enables customers to initiate an inbound call with ease.

“Consumers are increasingly looking online for health insurance plans, but many still have questions that can only be answered by an agent. ConnectMe enables prospective customers to easily jump from a webpage to a call with a single click of a button, directly connecting to an agent who specializes in their needs, without the wait. Traditionally, 1-2% of leads result in an inbound call, but after implementing ConnectMe, clients’ inbound call rates are 20-30%,” said Mason Hewitt, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of ConnectMe. “The outcome is a more satisfied customer and significantly higher conversion rates for lead generators and insurance brokers.”

About ConnectMe

ConnectMe is a patented webpage technology that enables users to easily jump from an online lead form to an inbound call with the click of a button. ConnectMe is used by top lead generators in the insurance, financial services, home services, and mortgage industries. Launched in 2018, ConnectMe is a Thank You Page widget that turns 20+% of web leads into inbound calls with the simple message, “Click this button and your phone will ring.” Application features include detailed call reporting, an API, web hooks, and free SMS messages.

Weiss PR Will Become Pugh & Tiller PR


These changes are part of a transition we have been planning for some time. They reflect not only the vitally important role Jessica and Matthew have played in growing Weiss PR, but also their reputations as respected leaders within the public relations profession.

Mid-Atlantic-based public relations firm Weiss PR, Inc. is changing its name to Pugh & Tiller PR, LLC and relocating its headquarters from Baltimore to Annapolis.

Ray Weiss, who has served as Weiss PR’s President, will turn over leadership of the firm to Jessica Tiller, with whom he co-founded the firm in 2008, and Matthew Pugh, who has led the firm’s dramatic growth in the technology sector for the past six years.

In his new role as Senior Counsel, Weiss will help focus on the firm’s strategic direction and continued growth as a member of the Pugh & Tiller PR’s leadership team. He will also continue to lead public relations initiatives for several the firm’s clients.

“These changes are part of a transition we have been planning for some time,” says Weiss. “They reflect not only the vitally important role Jessica and Matthew have played in growing Weiss PR, but also their reputations as respected leaders within the public relations profession.”

Going forward, Pugh anticipates continued expansion of the firm’s tech practice while Tiller will continue to lead the firm’s employee benefits, insurance, and commercial real estate practices. They also plan to broaden the firm’s international reach. Recently, the firm was honored by CEO Today Magazine for its work in helping overseas clients in Israel, New Zealand, Australia, India, Canada, Iceland, and the UK to establish successful public relations initiatives in the U.S.

On the services front, Pugh & Tiller PR will continue to provide media and influencer relations, social media support, strategic communications planning, crisis communications, and issue management, while expanding content and digital marketing services, as well as project-specific services.

Additionally, the firm is introducing its “no strings attached” project-only media relations service, for companies that only need or want ad hoc media relations support, such as announcing a senior-level executive appointment or a new product or service offering.

Pugh & Tiller PR is also moving its headquarters to 1997 Annapolis Exchange Parkway. “The move to Annapolis positions the firm to be strategically located between Washington, D.C. and Baltimore and better serve our clients in the U.S. and internationally,” says Tiller.

Expert Sandwich, MA Oral Surgeon Offers Wisdom Teeth Extractions with Little Discomfort


Dr. William Lane, Oral Surgeon in Plymouth, MA and Sandwich, MA

Dr. William Lane Provides Gentle Wisdom Tooth Extractions in Sandwich, MA

Wisdom tooth removal is at least one-third to one-half of every oral surgeon’s practice. You have that expertise working to your advantage!

Expert oral surgeon, Dr. William Lane, welcomes new patients in Sandwich, MA to receive wisdom teeth extractions with or without a referral. With decades of experience in oral surgery, both in an office and hospital setting, Dr. Lane and his team can perform wisdom teeth extractions with minimal complications and little patient discomfort.

The older a patient is, the more difficult wisdom teeth are to extract. In fact, an erupted wisdom tooth of an older patient is more difficult to remove than an impacted tooth of a patient in their teens. This is because, as a patient ages, the jawbone becomes stiffer and more calcified, while the tooth’s roots become deeper. Due to the intricacies of wisdom teeth extraction, receiving this treatment from a highly skilled and experienced oral surgeon helps reduce the risk of complications in the treatment and healing process.

Dr. Lane conducts a wisdom tooth extraction almost daily at his Plymouth, MA and Sandwich, MA practices. With this experience, Dr. Lane has helped patients with even the most complex wisdom teeth cases. “Wisdom tooth removal is at least one-third to one-half of every oral surgeon’s practice,” Dr. Lane explains. “You have that expertise working to your advantage.”

Not only does Dr. Lane offer skilled expertise for wisdom tooth removal, but the team at Lane Oral Surgery also utilizes cutting-edge dental technology to improve the patient experience and reduce healing time. Lane Oral Surgery uses 3D cone beam CT scanning, which gives Dr. Lane detailed images of a patient’s oral structure, wisdom tooth position, and nerve location. Plus, Dr. Lane offers sedation dentistry, including IV sedation, to help patients both relieve dental anxiety and minimize pain and discomfort.

Those looking for an expert oral surgeon in Sandwich, MA to perform wisdom teeth extraction can connect with Dr. Lane for a consultation. To schedule an appointment, visit http://www.laneoralsurgery.com or call 508-746-8700.

About the Oral Surgeon

Ōmcare named one of nation’s hottest healthcare startups in “Flyover Tech”


The Ōmcare Home Health Hub has the potential to revolutionize medication adherence and the way we manage care for older Americans and people with chronic conditions.

Ōmcare, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Anser Innovation, announced today that the company was included in The New York Observer’s snapshot of the “20 Hottest Flyover Tech Companies.” The list reflects insights from a panel of healthcare and business experts during the 38th Annual JP Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco this week, as they discussed the hottest new tech companies headquartered in the emerging healthcare innovation hub that is Middle America.

The Ōmcare Home Health Hub™ is designed to facilitate remote monitoring via visual confirmation of a patient’s actions, which supports telehealth and virtual care services and gives family members greater peace of mind. The system gives caregivers of all types – from physicians, pharmacists, and home care providers to family members – the ability to see and speak to patients to confirm compliance with medication treatment plans from anywhere.

“Based on my experience as a nurse and working for a major national health plan, I have seen firsthand the impact that medication nonadherence has on individual health outcomes and quality of life, as well as cost and quality outcomes on a population level,” said Jeannine Rivet, Ōmcare board member and former executive vice president of UnitedHealth Group. “The Ōmcare Home Health Hub has the potential to revolutionize medication adherence and the way we manage care for older Americans and people with chronic conditions.”

The Ōmcare Home Health Hub can be used by individual caregivers at home or by senior living facilities to ensure proper medication adherence, which can significantly impact quality of life and clinical outcomes. The company recently announced a pilot program to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Ōmcare Home Health Hub with partners Ecumen and Thrifty White Pharmacy.

Car Insurance 2020 Strategies For Getting Cheap Coverage


News Image

“Even though the price for car insurance is on the rise, drivers can easily use several smart methods to keep those costs under control and even lower the price of car insurance”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains how drivers can obtain low-cost car insurance coverage.

For more info and free quotes, please visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/how-to-get-low-cost-car-insurance-coverage/

Affordable car insurance is not that hard to obtain anymore. Resourceful drivers can easily find various methods that can help them pay less on car insurance premiums. Drivers can change some of their driving habits and make several coverage adjustments in order to obtain better car insurance.

To obtain affordable car coverage, drivers can follow the next tips:


  • Set higher deductible levels. A deductible is the amount of money a driver has to pay out in the event of a car accident before the insurance policy kicks in. The larger this deductible is, the less a driver will pay on his monthly premiums. To save money on car insurance, policyholders can increase the deductible amount. However, drivers are recommended to save money on an emergency fund, just in case, they will ever be required to file an insurance claim.
  • Keep or improve the current credit score. The credit score is one of the main factors that can affect car insurance costs. Drivers with good or excellent credit scores are seen as more responsible drivers by the insurers and will pay less on their insurance rates. On the other hand, policyholders with a poor credit score will pay more on their insurance premiums.
  • Pay for the whole policy in advance when the policy becomes active. The costs of paying for the whole policy at once is cheaper than paying monthly insurance bills. A small discount that is between 5-10% is provided by the insurance companies that will save money by not having to pay for several monthly administration fees.
  • Use a garage or a safe parking lot to park the car. Cars that are parked in a garage are less likely to be stolen. Also, they are protected against severe weather effects.
  • Check all available discounts. Drivers are advised to contact their insurance companies and ask for a list of available discounts. Insurance companies are well-known for offering different discounts like the multi-policy discount, good driver discount, safety devices discount, loyalty discount, and low-mileage discount.
