Personiv wins Best Company for Diversity from Comparably

Fostering an atmosphere that prioritizes inclusivity and celebrates diversity is not only critical to our business, but also encourages open dialogue and empowers empathy among our team members. The many perspectives of our amazing people is what makes me #PersonivProud.” David Lesniak, CEO Personiv

Personiv, a global leader in accounting, back office, digital and customer contact outsourcing has been named as one of Comparably’s 2019 Best Companies for Diversity in the category of large companies with 500-plus employees.

Personiv’s final rank of 89/100 is based on the responses and sentiment specifically from its diverse employees of color.

Personiv’s score placed the company on Comparably’s fourth quarter “Best Of” list, and within the top five percent of similarly sized companies with exceptional diversity scores.

Only the highest performing hospitals on the Leapfrog Hospital Survey, earning an A rating, are eligible to be recognized annually with this award. Top Hospitals have better systems in place to prevent medication errors, higher quality on maternity care and lower infection rates.

“Patient safety is our priority and we are honored to have six of the 21 hospitals in Florida named as a Top Hospital. We are commitment to clinical excellence and making investments in our people and hospitals so that we can deliver the highest quality of care to our communities,” said Mike Schultz, President and CEO, AdventHealth West Florida Division. “As an organization, it is imperative that we work continuously to elevate care and provide the safest environment possible for every patient, every time.”

The Safety Grade assigns letter grades of A, B, C, D and F to hospitals nationwide based on their performance in preventing medical errors, infections and other harms.

“This outstanding accomplishment is only possible because of our dedicated leadership, physicians and staff who are committed to this journey of excellence in patient safety,” said Dr. Robin McGuinness, Senior Executive Officer of Patient Outcomes, AdventHealth West Florida Division. “We’ve implemented very specific, tangible initiatives in all West Florida Division hospitals to ensure all of our hospitals reach an “A” grade in patient safety and follow the guidelines The Leapfrog Group sets as the standard for safe practices.”

AdventHealth voluntarily participates in the Leapfrog assessment and provides full transparency to our hospitals and our data to patient safety experts for review. The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade measures 27 areas of hospital safety and scores hospitals with A, B, C, D and F grades based on that data.

To qualify for the Top Hospitals distinction, hospitals must rank top among peers in the 2019 Leapfrog Hospital Survey, which assesses hospital performance on the highest known standards for quality and patient safety and achieve top performance in its category.

How To Get The Best Car Insurance Quotes Online


News Image

“Getting online quotes will help you get affordable prices. Plus, you get in contact with numerous insurance companies”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that explains how to get the best car insurance quotes online.

For more info and free car insurance quotes online, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/short-list-tips-getting-best-auto-insurance-quotes-online/

Online car insurance quotes can be obtained from various sources. Clients can choose to visit an insurer’s website or a brokerage website and ask for quotes. For each option, there are pros and cons. Clients interested in brokerage websites can get multiple quotes just by visiting and filling in the form found at http://compare-autoinsurance.org/.

There are several factors that will help drivers obtain useful quotes:


  • Provide honest and accurate info when filing in the submit form. The accuracy of the quote is strictly dependent on the quality of provided info. Drivers should always keep relevant sources of info nearby. In this way, they can double-check if they add correct data. Also, provide realistic annual mileage when asked by forms. The companies will take your word when requesting quotes, but they will verify the info once you decide to buy. Companies use centralized databases to check info after they start the underwriting process. If you lied when you requested quotes, the process will be aborted.
  • Pay attention to all details asked by the forms. Take your time to carefully read each line and if you have trouble understanding some terms, do some online research. The risk of missing important factors or checking the wrong box is pretty high. Keep in mind that every row is important and it can potentially save or cost more money.
  • Use multiple websites to compare prices. Do not limit to a single quote or a single website. Shop around on as many websites as possible. Just make sure to compare prices for exactly the same product and use the same info for all forms.


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.

To be eligible for the SC 25 Fastest Growing Companies Award, the company must be headquartered in South Carolina and be in business for at least three years and show revenues of more than $3 million in the last fiscal year.

“There are more people working in South Carolina than ever before, and that is thanks in no small part to companies like 9 Round, Swampfox Technologies, JEAR Logistics, and the other 2019 SC Fastest Growing award winners. I congratulate them all and wish them many more successful years here in the Palmetto State.” Governor Henry McMaster.

Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon offers a $125,000 Procedure


It gives my patients the body of their dreams.

What does one of the most expensive cosmetic surgery procedures cost? Ten thousand? Fifty Thousand? How does $125,000 sound? Meet Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. William Rahal. Dr. Rahal is a plastic surgeon Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Dr. Rahal’s patients choose him because of his before-and-after results and high standards of patient care.

This $125,000 total body makeover procedure is called “The 720 Experience.” The procedure consists of 360 Degree Lipo, which sculpts the body to an hourglass shape. Using fat transfer to the buttocks, also known as a Brazilian butt lift (BBL), he also gives volume and shape to the hips and buttocks. To complete the procedure he also performs 360 Degree Skin Tightening. He utilizes two technologies to tighten skin all around the body. The technologies are J-Plasma and Morpheus8. J-Plasma tightens the skin from the inside while Morpheus8 is performed from the outside, resulting in optimal skin tightening. Morpheus8 can also be used on the face and neck for skin tightening, rejuvenation and the reshaping of the jawline.

“When you combine 360 Lipo and 360 Skin Tightening and you get the 720 Experience”, states Dr. Rahal. Unlike regular 360 Lipo, the 720 Experience includes all areas of the body, such as arms and thighs. This Head- to-Toe treatment turns back the clock on both the shape of a woman’s body and her skin. It gives beautiful curves and tighter, youthful skin. As Dr. Rahal puts it, “It gives my patients the body of their dreams. The one they had when they were 15 years younger, or one they never had at all.”

The 720 Experience also includes a stay at a luxury Beverly Hills hotel during recovery, along with a patient’s own private concierge and nurses on 24 hours of duty. Patients get post-operative treatments to ensure the best results possible as well as follow up examinations with Dr. Rahal.

Videos and photos of the various procedures can be found on Dr. Rahal’s Instagram page and his YouTube channel.

Links to his Instagram and YouTube can be found on his website at https://drwilliamrahal.com.

Dr. William Rahal is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with offices in Beverly Hills, California. His specialties include Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery, Breast Augmentation, Liposuction, Tummy Tuck, Breast Lift, as well as Surgical & Non-Surgical options to treat Capsular Contracture (Breast Implant Complications). Additional information can be found on Dr. William Rahal’s website at https://drwilliamrahal.com. Consultations can be scheduled with Dr. William Rahal by calling his office at (424) 512-1902.

Stratodesk, leader in VDI, Cloud and IoT endpoint solutions, announced today the General Availability of Velma Lakes, the latest software version of NoTouch Desktop, the flagship product used by thousands of customers around the world to manage complex, mixed endpoint deployments.

“With NoTouch Center 4.3, ‘Velma Lakes’, we bring many improvements drawing from our multi-platform experience while fulfilling numerous customer feature requests,” says Stratodesk CEO and Founder, Emanuel Pirker. “Take the new update/OS image selection, for example. It has never been easier to update a diverse fleet of endpoints. Thanks to fantastic collaboration with major VDI providers, we are always on the cutting edge with the latest VDI Clients. Our fantastic family of both technology and hardware partners enable us to solve an ever farther reaching number of use cases that before were thought improbable. Today, Stratodesk software has sent endpoint management into turbospeed, unlocking unlimited and unequaled time and cost savings to enterprises and businesses of all sizes, all around the world.”

New Features Overcome Previously Unsolved Enterprise IT Challenges

While the new update/OS image selection mechanism streamlines endpoint management processes by enabling unprecedented management for x86 and Raspberry Pi devices in the same network at the speed of a single click, system administrators and IT managers around the world will be dazzled by cutting edge and intuitive new user role management capabilities. These capabilities streamline user role management, enabling enterprises to seamlessly configure permissions across their entire organization with unprecedented ease.

The new licenses limitation features also solves major system administration challenges by initiating unparalleled administration over the type of licenses and number allowed at any level.

Velma Lakes includes Stratodesk Cloud Xtension as well, extending NoTouch Center management through a standard internet connection to endpoints, wherever they are. No matter if they are based in the cloud or in the DMZ, Stratodesk Cloud Xtension intuitively validates connection and transmits critical data between NoTouch Center and endpoints, without a VPN.

Today’s businesses are as complex and unique as the individuals that work for them, meaning that endpoint management must be so fast, adaptable and forward thinking that it can anticipate these challenges, and be used to effectively solve them sometimes before organizations have even realized that the challenge exists.

Workers today require specific devices across the spectrum of hardware, making the need for a hardware agnostic solution more paramount than ever. They expect to get their work done from home, on the go, or in the office from one, two or even more devices. Stratodesk software covers this vast and complex spectrum of use cases and hardware more profoundly than ever thanks to Velma Lakes, enabling the best-in-class endpoint management interface for administrators and workers/end-users alike.

Technology and Hardware Integrations Raise the Stakes in Velma Lakes

Winter Car Insurance – How To Get Cheaper Auto Insurance Premiums


News Image

“Winter can be a great season to save some car insurance money. Check our website for more money-saving tips and free car insurance quotes”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com (http://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com/ ) is a top auto insurance brokerage website, providing car insurance quotes online from trustworthy agencies all over the United States.

Winter is a challenging season, even for the most experienced drivers. Sudden weather changes, snow and ice represent constant dangers. In order to be prepared for driving during winter, the driver must purchase adequate coverage. Find out more and get free quotes from our website.


  • Drivers who plan not to drive the car during winter should store it and purchase storage coverage. Cold weather and winter hazards convince a person to quit driving until spring. In order to reduce insurance costs, get only storage insurance and drop other coverage. The vehicle must be stored in a garage or a dedicated facility. The policy will provide limited coverage (comprehensive coverage).
  • It is recommended to purchase roadside assistance. Roadside assistance is a really valuable service during winter. Having a dedicated Roadside Assistance service will help the driver if the battery dies, he needs more fuel, towing or emergency locksmithing services. It is a relatively cheap service that comes with multiple valuable benefits.
  • Make sure that all car parts and electronic systems are working properly. Cold temperatures can negatively impact a car’s engine, batteries, and tires. Check if they all work properly before venturing outside in the cold. It is a good idea to bring the car to a technical inspection before or at the start of winter. Change the battery and equip the car with new winter tires. Also, check if all systems and sensors work properly and provide accurate readings.
  • Park the car in a safe, well-lighted place. This is a piece of advice any driver should follow all around the year, not only during winter. Parking the car in a well-monitored and lighted place will reduce the chances of being stolen. Pay extra attention to where you park during the holidays, since Christmas is the favorite time of the year for car thieves, too.
