We saw so many people wearing plain white AirPods and thought, let’s Bling’ Em Out! So that became our slogan, #BlingEmOut. Everyone has customized their cell phone cases and Ipad cases, etc. Why not add something fun and beautiful for our AirPods?


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Apple AirPods and the AirPods Pro, wireless Bluetooth earbuds, adorn the ears of millions, and that number is set to rise exponentially. In fact, it is estimated that this year alone, Apple will sell 65 million AirPods, and 110 million in 2020. EarDrips® launched this custom jewelry to help spruce up these popular earbuds.

“We saw so many people wearing plain white AirPods and thought, let’s Bling’ Em Out! So that became our slogan, #BlingEmOut,” said Mary Ettensberger, co-founder of EarDrips®. “Everyone has customized their cell phone cases and Ipad cases, etc. Why not add something fun and beautiful for our AirPods?”

EarDrips® are fully customizable and come in a plethora of finishes, including rose gold, white rhodium, and black rhodium with black cubic zirconia. The Zirconia option is made of Sterling Silver and the highest quality cubic zirconia.

“Two rubber O-rings at each end ensure the EarDrips® stay secure while you’re on the go,” added Ettensberger. “They are round and faceted with a total of 336 stones. Each piece weighs approximately 9.5 grams.”

In conjunction with their launch, EarDrips® is thrilled to announce they will be included in the 2020 “Everyone Wins” Nominee Gift Bags which will be given to the top Oscar® nominees in February 2020. Based on early buzz, these nominees may include hopeful contenders such as Robert DeNiro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Renee Zellweger, Scarlett Johansson, among others.

For customers looking for extra shine, EarDrips® Lux are now available. Made for the person who has everything, this limited edition is made of 336 genuine round diamonds and 18K gold with detachable earrings. “They are proudly made in collaboration with the world-renowned Mouawad Jewelry,” concluded Ettensberger. “EarDrips® Lux are made of the finest and highest-quality diamonds and materials.”

The company is also currently developing new EarDrips® to fit the new AirPod Pro that was recently released, which will add even more contemporary style to the product. The EarDrips® Pro version will be released in early 2020.

Mary co-owns EarDrips® with her husband Claus Ettensberger, the founder of CEC, which has specialized in luxury custom light alloy wheels and automotive customizing and tuning since 1990. The Ettensbergers not only add bling to AirPods, but are blinging out luxury cars all over Los Angeles and beyond.

Stayhealthy and OncoGambit Release Mobile Coaching Platform to Support Breast Cancer Survivors and Promote Healthy Behaviors for Cancer Prevention

Leave a comment



MONROVIA, Calif. (PRWEB)

Stayhealthy, the first company to combine patented healthcare solutions with augmented reality technology, and OncoGambit, the first computer-aided individualized cancer treatment confirmation resource, announced today the launch of a new mobile platform dedicated to assisting cancer survivors to adopt healthy lifestyle changes. The platform will be introduced at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium on December 11.

“With over 3.8 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S., the need addressed by the OWL platform could not be timelier,” said Dr. Colin Hill, Stayhealthy’s COO and Chief Science Officer. “Current available support services are often insufficient to meet this growing need.”

“Cancer survivors need ongoing guidance and support after cancer diagnosis to achieve their best outcome,” stated Dr. Hannah Luu, CEO and founder of OncoGambit. “With the most advanced resources and tools, OWL provides a unique after-care support plan for ongoing support in addition to recurrence prevention.”

“Almost 60% of all cancer survivors suffer from excess body fat,” added John Collins, CEO of Stayhealthy. “We know from research that there is a 30% increased risk of disease recurrence and death from breast cancer related to excess body fat. OWL was also developed specifically to help survivors deal with this growing problem.”

The OWL app is a game changer that is positioned as an easily accessible, comprehensive survival care guide for cancer survivors. The app uses a chatbot navigation tool to guide users through a series questions and answers spreading over four modules including education (with an emphasis on breast cancer education in treatment and cancer recurrence prevention), daily activity and movement plan, conscious eating coach, and mindfulness practice—all allowing for real time interaction with the user.

The addition of augmented reality experiences adds a powerful dimension to amplifying the platform’s rich content. Approximately 23,000 oncologists are currently responsible for nearly 17 million cancer survivors in the U.S. and studies show that 80% of these survivors rely on their oncologist for nutrition, exercise, and psycho-social guidance. While initially focused on breast cancer survivors, OWL will eventually address and promote healthy behaviors for the prevention of all cancers in future versions.

The year-and-a-half program trains students to help people implement needed lifestyle changes in diet, exercise, risky behaviors and psycho-emotional resilience; evaluate the risk of harmful habits and addictions; identify and assess environmental, lifestyle, psychological and biological health risk factors; and prioritize the importance of lifestyle in health strategy and policies

Stay Metrics Research Report Helps Carriers ‘Turbocharge’ Driver Orientation

Leave a comment


A teacher at driver orientation interacting with students. Text: Turbocharge Your Orientation.

We are confident that those who have the right tools, the right message, and the right people in the room for orientation will see immediate results.


SOUTH BEND, Ind. (PRWEB)

Stay Metrics, the leading provider of driver retention tools, announces a new research report detailing a multi-faceted approach for motor carriers to turbocharge their driver orientation and improve job satisfaction. The report is available at no cost on the Stay Metrics website.

Recent results from driver surveys administered by Stay Metrics for clients during critical periods of early employment show that nearly one in four drivers are not learning what they expected to from their carriers during orientation.

Analysis of recent survey data and interviews with carriers support the report’s thesis that new technology, consistent messaging, personalized training, and putting the right people in front of drivers produce better results in orientation that contribute to higher job satisfaction.

Technology

To maximize drivers’ attention and interest in orientation, the report recommends carriers use interactive learning technologies such as the Luma DRIVE FIRST® platform. Interviews with expedite hauler Premium Transportation Logistics found the platform increased driver engagement while compressing its orientation program from three days to one. Likewise, the interactive, game-like learning platform helped flatbed carrier Fraley & Schilling reduce orientation by one full week and created individualized learning experiences for drivers.

Consistent messaging

The report offers several recommendations for carriers to improve messaging to get drivers all the information in orientation they need to succeed. According to a recent run of surveys, a significant percentage of drivers said their early job experiences did not match the messaging they received in orientation. The areas with the most inconsistency are home time (29%), pay/settlement (36.3%), and runs/ routes (38.2%).

Personalized training

One of the quickest ways to lower a person’s engagement in orientation is to cover something they already understand well, as if it is new to them. In the report, Matthew Kowalczyk, supervisor of safety and training at Load One, shares how he tailors his orientation to drivers based on their past safety records. The report also details strategies for carriers to accommodate the unique learning needs and preferences of drivers.

Putting the right people in front

The report shares strategies for building personal connections in orientation. At a minimum, drivers should be meeting with someone from senior leadership, and from the payroll, operations and safety departments.

“We want to share this report, free of charge, for management teams at carriers to determine which areas they are doing well on and which areas they want to focus on in 2020 for improvement,” said Tim Hindes, CEO and Co-Founder of Stay Metrics. “We are confident that those who have the right tools, the right message, and the right people in the room for orientation will see immediate results.”

Anyone can review the full, free report “Turbocharge Your Orientation” on the Stay Metrics website.

Motor carriers also can supplement their driver retention efforts with the recent Stay Metrics report, “The Top 5 Areas to Watch with New-to-You Drivers,” that shows why drivers leave their carriers within the first 90 days.

About Stay Metrics

Stay Metrics is a retention strategy firm. We’re passionate about partnering with transportation companies to help them increase driver retention and commitment. Our Stay Ahead™ platform amplifies your driver feedback. It encompasses our suite of driver lifecycle surveys and the Stay Metrics Reportal; which includes intervention opportunities, customizable reporting tools, and comparative industry data.
