xTechSearch 3.0


GREENBELT, Md. (PRWEB)

TRX Systems, developer of NEON® Location technology, was selected as a U.S. Army Expeditionary Technology Search (xTechSearch) 3.0 Phase IV finalist by the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology (ASAALT). TRX’s NEON® GPS-denied dismount PNT solution was one of 12 finalists selected from over 125 new technologies that were evaluated by the Army. Each of the winning solutions was awarded a $120,000 prize at the 2019 Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting and Expo at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.

TRX’s NEON® Location Service is a low SWaP, easy-to-use assured dismount PNT technology that provides position data that enables tracking and navigation when satellite technology is unavailable or unreliable. NEON® detects GPS interference and delivers continuous location during such events; NEON also delivers 3D personnel location indoors, outside, and underground. NEON provides PNT assurance with commercial-grade solutions that integrate with present and future military satellite assurance and location capabilities. The solution is unique in:

  • Delivering a best in class dismount navigation fusion capability;

  • Detecting jamming threats while continuously tracking personnel;

  • Offering a collaborative navigation capability; and

  • Integrating with soldier systems such as ATAK and Nett Warrior.


The xTechSearch program evaluates innovative technologies needed by the Army and awards prizes to select small businesses that demonstrate proof-of-concept of their dual-use technologies pertaining to Army challenges. The competition is an opportunity for small businesses to pitch novel technology solutions to the Army and, in response, TRX introduced a new technology capability that increases robustness of the NEON dismount PNT solution. As an AUSA awardee in the xTechSearch 3.0 competition, TRX advanced to Stage IV – the final stage – where the finalists will demonstrate their technology innovations through proof-of-concept testing for a panel of Army subject matter experts at the 2020 AUSA Global Force Symposium Exposition in Huntsville, Alabama, March 17th-18th, 2020.

“The xTechSearch program provides invaluable feedback, mentoring, and transition assistance that will help us accelerate fielding of the TRX GPS-denied PNT technology, providing a capability that will enhance situational awareness and improve safety for warfighters in GPS-denied environments,” said Carol Politi, President and CEO of TRX Systems.

Government of India Releases Commemorative Coin to Mark 125th Birth Anniversary of Paramahansa Yogananda

Leave a comment


India feels strongly about this great son of the universe who brought harmony to all our hearts and minds.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

The Government of India has released a special commemorative coin in the amount of Rs 125 to commemorate the 125th birth anniversary of Paramahansa Yogananda. Born on January 5, 1893 in Gorakpur, India, Sri Yogananda, author of the best-selling spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi, is widely regarded today as the father of Yoga in the West. The coin release was presided over by India Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday, October 29, 2019 at the Central Secretariat in New Delhi.

During the official release, the Finance Minister acknowledged Paramahansa Yogananda’s universal message of world harmony among all humankind, and said, “India feels strongly about this great son of the universe who brought harmony to all our hearts and minds.”

Joining the Finance Minister at the event was Minister of State for Finance Anurag Thakur; Culture Secretary Arun Goel; Brother Vishwananda, a member of the Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India Board of Directors; and Swami Smaranananda, YSS Vice President.

Brother Vishwananda conveyed a message from SRF/YSS President Brother Chidananda, who said, “Paramahansaji sought to spread a spirit of brotherhood among all peoples based on the eternal truth that we are the children of one God, and need to live in friendship, peace, and harmony for our mutual well-being. He also emphasized the importance of seeing the divine in every soul and every living thing; and treating all of God’s creation with respect and reverence.…The release of this commemorative coin by the honorable Finance Minister is a timely recognition of a milestone in the journey of humanity toward this goal of realizing the divine Self in all hearts of all beings.”

Since 1964, when India issued its first commemorative coin—to honor India’s first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru—India has honored a wide range of political, social, and religious leaders with commemorative coins, ranging from Mahatma Gandhi to Rabindranath Tagore.

The commemorative coin honoring Paramahansa Yogananda marks the third time that the Government of India has paid tribute to him. In 1977, on the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of Paramahansa Yogananda’s passing, the Government of India formally recognized his outstanding contributions to the spiritual upliftment of humanity, by issuing a commemorative stamp in his honor.

In March of 2017, a second commemorative stamp was issued by the Indian Government, acknowledging the centenary of of Yogoda Satsanga Society of India (the organization that Yogananda founded in 1917), and citing the outstanding spiritual achievements of the society.

The commemorative coin, which will bear the likeness of Paramahansa Yogananda, will weigh 35 grams and contain the following metal composition: silver 50%, copper 40%, nickel 5%, and zinc 5%.

Paramahansa Yogananda (1893-1952), who founded Self-Realization Fellowship in 1920, is widely regarded as one of the preeminent spiritual figures of our time. He has made an indelible impression on the spiritual landscape of the West, contributing to a far greater awareness and appreciation of India’s ancient philosophy of Yoga and its science of meditation. His best-selling spiritual classic, Autobiography of a Yogi, has introduced millions of readers to yoga meditation, and his highly acclaimed interpretations of the Bhagavad Gita (God Talks With Arjuna), the four Gospels (The Second Coming of Christ: The Resurrection of the Christ Within You), and the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (Wine of the Mystic: A Spiritual Interpretation), provide groundbreaking insight into the underlying unity of the religious beliefs of East and West.

Born in northern India on January 5, 1893, Sri Yogananda took formal vows as a monk of India’s venerable monastic Swami Order soon after graduating from Calcutta University in 1915. Two years later, he began his life’s work with the founding of a “how-to-live” school where modern educational methods were combined with yoga training and instruction in spiritual ideals.

In 1920, he was invited as the Indian delegate to an International Congress of Religious Liberals convening in Boston. That same year he founded Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF), an international society dedicated to introducing throughout the world his yoga meditation teachings, and to helping people of all races and creeds to realize and express more fully in their lives the beauty, nobility, and divinity of the human spirit.

Next year, Self-Realization Fellowship—which has more than 600 temples, centers and ashrams around the world (another 200 ashrams and centers are in India and neighboring countries under the auspices of Yogoda Satsanga Society, Sri Yogananda’s work in India), and SRF/YSS members in over 175 countries—will celebrate its 100th year anniversary.

How Pet Therapy Changed One Man’s Life and Career — Navy Vet’s dog inspired the brand, Beast & Buckle

Leave a comment


“I created Beast & Buckle products because I love my dog more than anything in the entire world,” he said. “I wanted him to have something that was safe and comfortable and high-quality but I also really wanted something that would reflect his personality because he’s such a fun little guy.”


CHARLESTON, S.C. (PRWEB)

There’s a special bond between dogs and their human caretakers that goes beyond companionship and loyalty. For one dog owner turned entrepreneur, the one-of-a-kind relationship was so heartfelt, it saved his life.

“Without Clark, I don’t know if I’d still be here. The pain of my father’s suicide and my own battle with depression took a huge toll on me, one with which I constantly and severely struggled. Clark gave me a new lease on life – I had a reason to wake up every day and smile. He is that important to me and that impactful on my life.”

Stew Anderson is the “human” co-founder of Beast & Buckle along with his “furry four-legged” co-founder, a French bulldog named Clark. For Anderson, this business venture wouldn’t be possible without Clark. Their unshakeable bond began before creating the dog accessory line.

In 2016, Anderson’s world turned upside-down when his father passed away. The next year plunged him into a deep depression. Looking for ways to help him lift his spirits, his mother and sister suggested he get a dog. Although Anderson was always a dog lover, he didn’t have many opportunities in the past to own one with his time in the Navy followed by jobs involving travel.

His sister first introduced him to Clark through his puppy photo, and Anderson knew right away that the little gray Frenchie was the best friend for whom he’d been searching. Meeting and bringing Clark home turned out to the best life decision that even changed his whole career trajectory to design Beast & Buckle’s flagship harness collection.

“I created Beast & Buckle products because I love my dog more than anything in the entire world,” he said. “I wanted him to have something that was safe and comfortable and high-quality but I also really wanted something that would reflect his personality because he’s such a fun little guy.”

While few dog owners will embark on a journey like Anderson’s, scientific studies are uncovering the multiple benefits animals have on humans. Evidence shows how pets can improve mental health and physical factors such as lower blood pressure.

Anderson is a shining example of how animal therapy has the power to transform. With his darkest days behind him, this co-founder is ready to empower others on two and four legs.

About: Beast & Buckle creates stylish and premium quality reversible dog harnesses, leashes and accessories for your four-legged friend. With designs to match the likes of any dog owner or occasion such as Donut, Mimosa, Baseball, Wine, Pizza and more, the core values of this brand are that dogs are on this planet to share love in the world with their human and vice versa. Beast & Buckle is committed to supporting the great organizations that help dogs and humans lead great lives through our “10% Promise.” Every year, Beast & Buckle donates 10% of profits to charities supporting animals.

Why Should Drivers Select High Levels Of Car Insurance Deductibles

Leave a comment


News Image

“Drivers can save money in the long run, by setting higher deductible levels”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains how high deductible levels affect car insurance premiums.

For more info and free car insurance quotes online, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/why-you-should-opt-for-high-deductible-levels/

One of the most crucial decisions a policyholder can make while purchasing insurance is the amount of money he is willing to pay on the collision and comprehensive policies deductibles. Depending on the amount the policyholder set on his deductibles, the premium rates can increase or decrease.

Policyholders can save money by raising their deductibles. If a policyholder raises his deductible from $300 to $900, he can expect to see a significant drop in the amount he pays towards the monthly premium. Drivers should make sure they have the amount they set on their deductibles available at any time. If something goes bad with their car, policyholders will have to first pay the amount set on their deductibles, before the insurance policy kicks in. On average, policyholders can save as much as 30% by setting high deductible levels.

Before setting a deductible amount, policyholders should consider several factors like their income, savings, credit lines, driving history, and their vehicle value. It’s no point setting a high deductible value if the policyholder’s car value is low.

Policyholders should review their insurance deductibles at least once a year. They should consider if they can still comfortably pay for the deductible if they had an accident today.

Iowa Realtor Janis Robinson Shares Top Tips for Successfully Selling Your Home

Leave a comment


News Image

This doesn’t mean dumping tens of thousands of dollars into landscaping contracts. Instead, sellers should think about easy, cost-effective strategies that make their home appear in its best light.


DES MOINES, Iowa (PRWEB)

As a local expert, Robison, with eXp Realty, is well aware of the pitfalls that can keep an otherwise good home from selling. According to Robinson, home sellers can avoid these pitfalls by following seven simple steps:

No. 1: Price it right. Pricing a home too high is the biggest mistake that a seller can make. “Sellers should pay attention to the housing market, and set their asking price on the conservative end,” advised Robinson.

No. 2: Less is more. Resist the urge to stuff each room with flowers, art, and other eye-catching decorations before showing. “These decorations will only serve as distractions for potential buyers,” added Robinson.

No. 3: Cleanliness is key. Sweeping down cobwebs, wiping down surfaces, and performing other basic cleaning before showings will vastly improve the home’s appearance. “No one wants to envision themselves living in a dirty home,” stressed Robinson.

No. 4: Remove strong odors. Smokers — or those with pets — should resist the urge to quickly cover up any strong smells with air fresheners. “Instead, ask your Realtor whether the smell is noticeable,” stated Robinson. “If it is, head to a professional cleaning company for assistance.”

No. 5: Be flexible. Homes that are only available to show one or two days out of the week will typically take longer to sell. “Try to open your home for showings during the peak times when buyers are looking — such as the weekend,” stated Robinson.

No. 6: If it’s broken, fix it. If your furnace or hot water heater is on its last leg, go ahead and replace it. Patch up leaking roofs, and ensure that electric panels with screw-in fuses are up to snuff. While these fixes cost money, they will save you headaches in the future — and improve your relationship with your buyer.

No. 7: Work on your curb appeal. “This doesn’t mean dumping tens of thousands of dollars into landscaping contracts,” concluded Robinson. “Instead, sellers should think about easy, cost-effective strategies that make their home appear in its best light.”

Robinson is also hosting a donation drive for Operation Warm to help supply brand-new winter coats to children. Operation Warm works year-round to create colorful winter coats made just for kids. Every $20 provides a high-quality, brand new winter coat to a child who needs it most. Since 1998, Operation Warm has inspired hope by manufacturing and distributing winter coats to nearly 3 million children in need throughout the U.S.
