Leave a comment


Dart Transit has developed a podcast series exploring the history of the company as part commemorating its 85th anniversary.

Not only does the podcast series deliver interesting stories and valuable perspectives related to Dart and changes seen in the trucking industry, but these podcasts also serve as a living history for the company. __ Russ Moore, Dart VP of Marketing Communications


EAGAN, Minn. (PRWEB)

Dart Transit Company, one of America’s leading nationwide transportation service providers, announced the release of a documentary podcast series commemorating the company’s 85th anniversary. Produced in collaboration with the PodWheels Network, Dart’s Driving Through History Podcast Series features a collection of interviews examining the evolution of the company during the past eight and a half decades within an ever-changing trucking industry.

Dart’s Driving Through History series includes nearly five total hours of recorded material, and the interviews have been organized into 15 podcast segments following particular themes or topics. Series listeners will have the opportunity hear perspectives on the company’s history and Dart’s impact on the trucking industry as a whole. Featured guests include Dart Chairman Don Oren, American Trucking Associations President & CEO Chris Spear and Minnesota Trucking Association President John Hausladen. The series also spotlights current members of the Dart management team as well as some of Dart’s retired executives.

Driving Through History is available through the PodWheels Network on a dedicated web page, PodWheelsNetwork.com/85years. The series is also available through Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud.com, Spotify, Stitcher and other popular podcast platforms by searching Dart Network Podcast. Visitors to DartTruckingJobs.com can find the 85th anniversary series in the Podcast section of the website.

“Dart is one of the preeminent truckload carriers in our industry today, and I really enjoyed being part of this podcast series that celebrates Dart’s storied 85-year history and the leadership of the Oren family,” said Mr. Spear, who participated in the series by phone from ATA’s headquarters. “Like the 86 years since ATA’s founding, Dart’s history runs from the Great Depression through World War II, the Interstate Highway System being built in the ’50s, all the way to deregulation in 1980 and beyond. Dart has seen all of that history, and Dart has shaped a lot of what our industry is today. Dart truly reflects and exemplifies what is best about our industry.”

Launched by Don Oren’s father, Earl, in 1934 with a single truck and trailer, Dart has been continuously owned by the Oren family for 85 years. As the series details, the Oren family continues to play an active daily role in the business. Mr. Oren is directly involved in the day-to-day operation of the company, and all three of Mr. and Mrs. Oren’s sons – Dave, Dan and Brad – are leading companies within the Dart Network. For his interview in the series, Mr. Oren was joined by his wife, Bev. Mrs. Oren, too, played an important role at Dart, providing pioneering leadership of Dart’s HR Department beginning in the 1970s. Through their shared stories and recollections, listeners to Driving Through History will hear Mr. and Mrs. Oren look back at the company’s early years, its growth and its people while also looking forward to what’s ahead for Dart.

Russ Moore, Vice President of Marketing & Communications, has spearheaded Dart’s efforts to collect material for the series. Moore explained, “We have been producing the Dart Network Podcast for the past three years, primarily as a focused communications, engagement and outreach platform to owner-operators and company drivers in the Dart Network. When we began looking at ways to commemorate the milestone of the company’s 85th anniversary, we wanted to explore how we could use our podcasts to highlight different aspects of the company’s history and some of the great stories from the past. The PodWheels Network has developed a documentary-style interview series that went beyond our initial expectations. Not only does the Driving Through History series deliver interesting stories and valuable perspectives related to Dart and changes seen in the trucking industry, but these podcasts also serve as a living history for the company.”

The series of podcasts offers a variety of current perspectives and reflections from the past. Dart Vice President of Revenue Management Stephanie Williamson, who earned the distinction of being named the Women In Trucking Association’s Member of the Month for August of this year, dedicated part of her interview to look back at her career path during 25 years with the company, citing the inspiration provided by Bev Oren and Joyce Jordan. Jordan, who retired from Dart in 2013 and is also featured in the series, became one of the first women in the industry to serve as the vice president of sales for a truckload carrier. Meanwhile, Larry Severson, an owner-operator who spent 42 years in the Dart fleet until his retirement in 2017, provides an invaluable behind-the-wheel perspective. During his podcast interview, Severson recalls the nomination by Dart that led to his recognition by the Truckload Carriers Association as the TCA Contractor of the Year in 2011.

“It was an honor and privilege for the PodWheels Network to have the opportunity to collaborate with the team at Dart in the development of this series. Having worked for the past three years producing the Dart Network Podcast, and, through developing this series, we have learned a great deal about the history of Dart. We now have an even deeper appreciation for the high level of respect Dart has earned across the trucking industry during its 85 years in business,” said Greg Thompson, the founder of the PodWheels Network and the executive producer of the anniversary series. “We would like to thank everyone involved in the development of Dart’s Driving Through History series, especially all our podcast guests, who were very gracious with their time and perspective. It was a wonderful and fun challenge to highlight through our series of interviews the perseverance and innovation that have marked Dart’s long drive of continued success. In addition to learning about the company and its place in industry history, listeners to the series will have the opportunity to hear first-hand perspectives on how Dart has led the way for positive changes in trucking.”

Sunset World Group Increases Its Support to Breast Cancer Survivors

News Image


CANCÚN, Mexico (PRWEB)

This year Grupo Sunset World continues its social commitment by increasing its level of participation with the Send Me on Vacation organization by donating 5 rooms for one week stays at Hacienda Tres Ríos Resort, Spa & Nature Park. The direct beneficiaries of these stays are breast cancer survivors, women who come to the Riviera Maya to complete the healing process and feel alive again after having struggled so hard to regain their health.

“Once the treatment is finished, including surgery and chemotherapy, the next step is to heal the emotions, because fighting cancer is very draining,” said Cathy Backus, Director of Send Me on Vacation. “Our organization has been giving emotional support to survivors for 9 years through programs that help them recover their inner beauty, strength and charm. Today we have a presence in 26 countries,” she added.

In this case, the Send Me on Vacation program that will bring these breast cancer survivors to Hacienda Tres Ríos is called “The Journey of a Siren.” After a week of relaxation and contact with nature, they will reveal their rediscovered beauty in a photo session. Send Me on Vacation will provide all the necessary equipment, from makeup and accessories to make-up artists and therapists, to turn these women into beautiful mermaids during a day of profound transformation.

“We are very excited to be a part of this program that focuses on a little-understood stage of the cancer recovery process, emotional recovery,” reflected Orlando Arroyo, CEO of Grupo Sunset World, adding “programs like this remind us that it’s important to close cycles in a positive way to achieve complete recovery.”

Grupo Sunset World is a Mexican company and a leader in the hospitality industry, offering authentic and unforgettable vacation experiences in Cancun and the Riviera Maya. Sunset World was founded more than 30 years ago and has grown to offer six resorts, world-class travel services, amenities and a diverse network of operational and marketing solutions that focus on providing the best vacation experiences for its members and guests. From cultural excursions to water sports, the members of Sunset World are never far from their next great adventure.

GE Healthcare and Sepsis Alliance Collaborate to Improve Treatment of Sepsis – Leading Cause of Death in U.S. Hospitals

Leave a comment


“Educating healthcare providers about the latest innovations in sepsis treatment is key to not only reducing sepsis mortality but to improving overall patient outcomes,” said Thomas Heymann, President and Executive Director, Sepsis Alliance.


SAN DIEGO (PRWEB)

Sepsis Alliance, the nation’s first and leading sepsis organization, and GE Healthcare, a leading provider of medical imaging, monitoring, biomanufacturing, and cell and gene therapy technologies, today announced their collaboration to improve sepsis treatment and to help save lives. As part of this relationship, GE Healthcare is sponsoring the webinar series, Can We Help ‘Solve’ Sepsis, Together, and is supporting the Sepsis Coordinator Network.

Sepsis is the body’s life-threatening response to infections that takes an estimated 270,000 lives each year in the United States. It claims more lives than opioid overdoses, breast cancer, and prostate cancer combined. Can We Help ‘Solve’ Sepsis, Together, a four-part installment of the Sepsis Alliance innovation webinar series developed and presented by GE Healthcare experts, aims to empower healthcare providers with the latest innovations and research in sepsis care to help improve outcomes for sepsis patients and to help save lives.

“Educating healthcare providers about the latest innovations in sepsis treatment is key to not only reducing sepsis mortality but to improving overall patient outcomes,” said Thomas Heymann, President and Executive Director, Sepsis Alliance. “Without committed partners like GE Healthcare, Sepsis Alliance would not be able to offer healthcare providers with our vast library of educational webinars and resources, or with platforms like the Sepsis Coordinator Network.”

In a further commitment to improving sepsis treatment, GE Healthcare became a sponsor of the Sepsis Coordinator Network (SCN), a peer-to-peer online community created by Sepsis Alliance. The SCN offers sepsis best practice resources and guidance to sepsis coordinators and all health professionals across the country. It has more than 2,000 members from 1,700 hospitals and facilities, and its members cover more than 572,000 hospital beds.

“Our ultimate goal in our collaboration with Roche Diagnostics is to empower health care providers with high-quality insights that can guide action for patients before sepsis-related decline requires heroic and expensive measures,” said Paul Mullen, general manager of GE Healthcare Acute Care. “Education about patient deterioration is a critical aspect of our work, making our involvement with Sepsis Alliance particularly meaningful and important.”

About Sepsis Alliance:

Sepsis Alliance is the leading sepsis organization in the U.S., working in all 50 states to save lives and reduce suffering by raising awareness of sepsis as a medical emergency. In 2011, Sepsis Alliance designated September as Sepsis Awareness Month to bring healthcare professionals and community members together in the fight against sepsis. In 2018, Sepsis Alliance created the award-winning national campaign, It’s About T.I.M.E.™, to educate the public about the signs and symptoms of sepsis and to highlight the urgent need to seek treatment when symptoms are recognized. Sepsis Alliance gives a voice to the millions of people who have been touched by sepsis – to the survivors, and the friends and family members of those who have survived or who have died. Since 2003, sepsis awareness in the U.S. has risen from 19% to 65%. Sepsis Alliance is a GuideStar Platinum Rated charity. For more information, please visit http://www.sepsis.org.

Mercury Insurance Names the 10 Most Affordable Mass Market and Luxury Sport Utility Vehicles, Crossovers to Insure

Leave a comment


2019 Hyundai Santa Fe XL, named ‘Most Affordable Mass Market Crossover to Insure’ by Mercury Insurance

Consumers’ preferences are leaning towards SUVs and crossovers for many reasons, including styling, cargo and seating capacity, and safety benefits.


LOS ANGELES, Calif. (PRWEB)

SUV and crossover sales have been propelled by historically low gas prices and constantly changing tastes – consumers are purchasing a larger proportion of sport utility vehicles and crossovers than sedans or sports cars. The advantages of ownership include a higher ride, which leads to increased visibility on the road, more cargo space and seating capacity, and increased performance, but one key item consumers need to factor in is the cost to insure these larger vehicles. Mercury Insurance (NYSE: MCY) has put together lists of the most affordable SUVs and crossovers to insure.

Mercury’s research and development team examined 2019 and 2020 model year (MY) sport utility vehicles and crossovers available at car dealerships today to compile these lists, which were created based on Mercury’s price for full coverage – liability, comprehensive and collision – in California.

“Consumers’ preferences are leaning towards SUVs and crossovers for many reasons, including styling, cargo and seating capacity, and safety benefits. As auto manufacturers respond to this trend by focusing on the production of these types of vehicles, consumers have many more options to choose from,” said Chong Gao, director of product management R&D for Mercury Insurance. “We put together these lists as a guide for consumers to consider insurance cost as an important factor in purchasing a vehicle.”

Here is the top-five list for 2019-2020 MY mass market crossovers, beginning with the most affordable make and model to insure.

1. 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe XL

2. 2020 Kia Soul

3. 2019 Honda CR-V

4. 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe

5. 2019 Ford Flex

Here is the top-five list for 2019-2020 MY luxury crossovers, beginning with the most affordable make and model to insure.

2. 2019 Volvo V90 Cross Country

3. 2020 Volvo V60 Cross Country

4. 2020 BMW X2

Candelis Showcases Advanced Breast Imaging Enterprise Viewer at Radiological Society of North America 2019 Conference in Chicago

Leave a comment



NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (PRWEB)

Candelis, Inc., a leading provider of innovative and cost-effective image storage and reading solutions for hospitals and imaging centers, today announced the Company will exhibit the Advanced Breast Imaging Enterprise Viewer, an enhancement on the ImageGrid™ PACS, in the Candelis exhibition booth (#3138) at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting in Chicago, Illinois, from December 1-5, 2019.

“The recently launched Advanced Breast Imaging Enterprise Viewer is an enhancement that makes ImageGrid the best enterprise informatics platform in breast imaging. Now radiologists will be able to read more tomosynthesis studies per hour from distributed remote locations” says Robert Van Uitert, Vice-President of Marketing.

The Advanced Breast Imaging Viewer includes the following exciting new features:


  •     Lightning Speed Transfer of High-Resolution Studies

  •     Multi-Modality & Multi-Vendor Breast Image Support

  •     Remote Diagnostic Image Reading

  •     Multi-Facility Distributed Environment Support

  •     Enhanced Study Prefetch

  •     Superior Image Routing

“I was experiencing speed issues primarily with diagnostic studies. Since diagnostic patients require their results immediately, it was stressful for me, as a radiologist, as well as the patient, when there is any delay in reading the images. When the large, 3D mammography images were taken, I would have to wait quite a long time for the current images, and up to 10 prior studies to download to my reading workstation,” explains Ayodale Odulate, MD, a radiologist at Riverside Medical Clinic, a multi-site facility in Riverside, CA.

“After my ImageGrid upgrade, the Candelis enhancements have vastly improved my efficiency, patient response time, and the number of studies I am able to read in a day. Thanks to Candelis, I have doubled the number of patients I can read per day, making my business even more efficient and profitable,” said Dr. Odulate.

Candelis will also showcase the ImageGrid™ Mini, the perfect solution for those seeking a cost-effective general radiology PACS and image review solution with a small footprint hardware platform.

Additionally, Candelis’s ASTRA™ Cloud Gateway, a small footprint solution for cloud storage, cloud archive, and cloud prefetch will be showcased in the Candelis booth.
