MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB)

“God’s Light Bulb”: a detailed discourse that emphasizes the purpose and function of light itself, which will then lead to the knowledge and understanding of light in a biblical sense. “God’s Light Bulb” is the creation of published author Dr. Muzella P. Hayes Ph.D, an evangelist at Church of God at Iron Hill in Newark, Delaware, which gave her an opportunity to preach God’s Word to all that will listen and bring Christ Jesus. She is a registered nurse who holds a master’s degree in nursing leadership and a doctor of philosophy of biblical studies at Newburgh Theological Seminary and Bible College. She is also a diabetes lay teacher for the state of Delaware.

Dr. Hayes shares, “Earthly man does not always understand the revelations of the Word; it is therefore sometimes necessary to use metaphors or parables as Jesus did when teaching the Jews about the kingdom of God. In the same vein, this dissertation uses the metaphor of a light bulb that can emanate light—when plugged into an electrical source—to the light that shines from God. Going further with this metaphor, the ‘light bulb of God’ takes its energy from the Lord himself as it shines in the lives of everyone who believes in God.

“Light is used to show the way, as roads, airport runways, and stations are lit to facilitate easier traveling to humans. Light, as humans know it, was only possible after electricity was discovered. Caldwell stated that in New York, ‘by the late 1870’s electric light was no longer a novelty, though the city didn’t get its first consumer power grid until eight-teen eighty-two.’ The city put electrical lights to good use as the New York Train System lit up the tracks twenty-four hours a day—this provided an indication of the way the train would go. This was considered light that would guide the way for so many people travelling the city.

“This train line pointing to the way people should go can be seen as a metaphor for The Way in a biblical sense. There are people who do not know or believe that the first light was God’s light.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Dr. Muzella P. Hayes Ph.D’s new book is a comprehensive collection of thoughts that will influence readers to begin a discourse and formulate questions and discussions in relation to man’s creation, as well as the different systems that work together in reaching an ultimate goal.

Innovation is a team sport at DuPont, and these awards exemplify DuPont’s culture of outcomes-driven research and willingness to translate cutting-edge thinking into customer impact.


WILMINGTON, Del. (PRWEB)

DuPont has been named the winner of two R&D 100 Awards for advancements in science and innovation. The R&D 100 Awards, sponsored by R&D World magazine, recognizes the 100 most innovative technologies of the previous year.

“Congratulations to the DuPont Finalists and Winners of the 2019 R&D 100 Awards; all of us at DuPont are extremely proud of the innovation and ingenuity your teams contribute every day,” said Alexa Dembek, Chief Technology & Sustainability Officer for DuPont. “Innovation is a team sport at DuPont, and these awards exemplify DuPont’s culture of outcomes-driven research and willingness to translate cutting-edge thinking into customer impact.”

The 2019 R&D 100 award-winning DuPont technologies are:

GREAT STUFF™ SMART DISPENSER™: An innovative solution to make air sealing easier, more precise and with less product waste, the GREAT STUFF™ SMART DISPENSER™ provides no drip, less mess and greater control, with a dispenser that is reusable for up to 30 days. It was designed to specifically respond to customer pain points over precision, mess and reusability. With the use of the GREAT STUFF™ SMART DISPENSER™, customers can seal air drafts, lower energy costs and prevent moisture buildup – all with a more efficient and effective dispensing mechanism.

Thermally conductive and emissive PBT resin for heatsink applications: DuPont™ Crastin® FR1301TC BK350 was developed as thermally conductive resin to replace aluminum heatsink for lightweighting and high heat emissivity in high-power LED housing. This material also can be applied as a general heatsink in various uses for the electrical and electronics markets and in automotive applications such as electronic component units.

In addition, the following four technologies were named as finalists:

Hytrel® HTR 8808 BK316: Beyond 3D blow molding processability, DuPont™ Hytrel® HTR8808 BK316 can be extruded to ultra-thin wall thicknesses down to 0.2 mm in processes for wire and cable, optical fiber extrusion or tubing. The flexibility, combined with high temperature, high chemical resistance and excellent thermoplastic processability, render Hytrel® HTR8808 BK316 of interest in the development of more sustainable and higher performing engines.

Hytrel® HTR 8895 BK320: DuPont developed Hytrel® HTR 8895 BK320 as a novel solution proven to offer substantial long-term squeak-free performance in a variety of axle and joint designs under severe testing and testing protocols. The technology employs a combination of two substances: one that protects the surface from foreign object abrasion and one that acts as a slow diffusing wax. Each of the substances independently do not resolve the problem but their synergistic effect is remarkable.

DuPont™ Zytel® Fiber-Reinforced Filaments for 3D Printing: DuPont developed reinforced polyamide resins for additive manufacturing that exhibit a combination of low curl/warpage, low moisture absorption, and high modulus and strength of both dry and conditioned printed parts. Zytel® 3D10C20FL and Zytel® 3D12G30FL print with ease without the use of a heated chamber, producing large, complex parts with dimensional accuracy and with properties approaching those of traditional injection-molded articles.

EKC® CuSolve™ 590 Post-Etch Residue Remover: DuPont™ EKC® CuSolve™ 590 is a first-of-its-kind post-etch residue remover (PERR) used by leading-edge chipmakers in the semiconductor fabrication process to enable reliable copper interconnects at their most advanced technology nodes. These integrated circuits are used in high-performance applications, including advanced 5G-compatible smartphones and other mobile devices.

Over the past eight years DuPont has received 13 R&D 100 Awards and been named as a finalist 17 times.

Since 1963, the R&D 100 Awards have identified revolutionary technologies newly introduced to the market. Widely recognized as the “Oscars of Invention,” the R&D 100 Awards identify and celebrate the top technology products and services of the year. The R&D 100 Awards Banquet will take place on Dec. 5.

AltMed Florida Celebrates its 10th Medical Cannabis Dispensary with the Newest MÜV™ Location Grand Opening in Fort Myers on Nov. 9

Leave a comment


AltMed Florida Dispensary Design

Our MÜV dispensaries are unlike anything in the state and we’re excited to invite licensed patients throughout Lee County and beyond to visit our newest state-of-the-art location in Fort Myers.


SARASOTA, Fla. (PRWEB)

AltMed Florida, one of the fastest growing Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTC) in Florida (source: OMMU), has announced the grand opening of its 10th MÜV™ Medical Cannabis Dispensary at 10 a.m. Saturday Nov.9 (pending final approvals) at 10993 Colonial Blvd., Suite 101 in Fort Myers, Florida.

AltMed’s MÜV Dispensary in Fort Myers, the company’s second to feature a drive-through window, is conveniently located near the Crossroads Shopping Center near State Highway 82. It will offer an extensive selection of award-winning products including flower, pre-rolls, a wide range of vaporizer pens, metered dose inhalers, topicals, oral sprays, patent-pending encapsulation formulations in its Tinctures, 72-Hour Transdermal patches and transdermal gels. MÜV is also recognized for having one of the widest selections of concentrates for patients needing macro-dosing options.

“Our dispensaries set the standard for quality products, service and overall patient experience at our current locations and we’re excited to offer our premium MÜV medical cannabis brand to even more people as we expand our presence in Southwest Florida,” said AltMed Florida CEO John Tipton. “Our MÜV dispensaries are unlike anything in the state and we’re excited to invite licensed patients throughout Lee County and beyond to visit our newest state-of-the-art location in Fort Myers.”

Like AltMed Florida’s nine other locations (Apollo Beach, Clearwater, Gainesville, Jacksonville/San Marco, Jacksonville Beach, Longwood/Orlando, Sarasota, Tampa and Wellington/West Palm), the new Fort Myers MÜV Dispensary stands out from others because it’s designed as a premium experience. Think Apple store, with a modern, open-concept design and expert staff with extensive training.

During the grand opening, all licensed Florida medical cannabis patients will receive 25 percent off their entire first purchase and the first 100 patients will receive a MÜV SWAG bag with their purchase. Patients can also order online at http://www.muvfl.com for express pickup or delivery.

The MÜV brand already has a wide following in other legal medical cannabis markets, including Arizona, where it has won five Best of Arizona medical cannabis awards. MÜV products are sold exclusively in Florida at MÜV dispensaries because, unlike other states, Florida does not allow wholesale of product between license holders – only products that license holders make themselves can be sold in their dispensaries.

For more information about the new ADA-compliant Fort Myers MÜV Medical Cannabis Dispensary, including hours and available MÜV products, visit http://www.MÜVFL.com.

AltMed Florida is on pace to open 40 MÜV Medical Cannabis Dispensaries across the state, all supplied by its 200,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art cultivation facility.

Insurer Tackles Opioid Crisis Head-On with “Back Now” Pilot

Leave a comment


Marcia Boyce,
ProRehab CEO

All we want is for back pain to be taken care of quickly, for less dollars and with a faster recovery.


LOUISVILLE, Ky. (PRWEB)

ProRehab Louisville (PRPT) is proud to announce a first-of-its-kind pilot program with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) of Kentucky for members who have Back Pain. The “Back Now” program aims to change the way members with back pain currently access treatment by removing the cost barrier for seeing a physical therapist when the pain first arises.

“Anthem is the perfect partner for the Back Now pilot program,” said ProRehab CEO, Marcia Boyce, PT. “We are aligned in the mission to help members get better care, faster, and with less out of pocket expenses.”

Patients are often prescribed preventable care for back pain such as opioids, steroid injections, advanced imaging, or, in extreme cases, lumbar spine surgery.

“Surgeries, medicines, and other healthcare procedures can be expensive,” said Boyce. “We’re in the business of healing, which is why the ProRehab team is proud to offer a safe, effective program. All we want is for back pain to be taken care of quickly, for less dollars and with a faster recovery.”

According to Boyce, “It’s a little-known fact that only 8-10% of patients who should get physical therapy as a first step to treating back pain, actually do. If we can move the needle on seeing a PT first, we can prevent our patients from needing thousands of dollars in medical care.”

STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT WHEN PHYSICAL THERAPY IS FIRST:

  • 71% lower costs for the same outcome

  • 75% – 90% lower likelihood of opioid use

  • The need for prescription pain medications, surgeries, and costly imaging is prevented

  • Quicker relief, less dollars, faster recovery

With the Back Now program, eligible Anthem BCBS of Kentucky members can see their ProRehab physical therapist without seeing a physician first. ProRehab is offering a package of 5 ProRehab PT visits for 1 copay and packages can be re-upped as needed.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?

  • Applicable Anthem plans are primarily Kentucky commercial plans and do not include Anthem’s Medicare or Medicaid plans.

  • Patients must have a complaint of back.

Startups Can Apply to the Venture Capital Investment Competition hosted by UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School

Leave a comment


News Image

When founders leave, they are surprised by the value of the feedback from students and investors alike, and the expanded network base for future fundraising. Over the years, over 25% of the participating startups go on to raise venture capital after the event.


CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (PRWEB)

For over 20 years, a kind of “March Madness” has been growing for entrepreneurial MBA and college students thanks to the Venture Capital Investment Competition (VCIC), a “bracket” of 20 regional competitions in seven countries, coordinated globally by the University of North Carolina Kenan-Flagler Business School.

VCIC is a marketplace for entrepreneurs seeking investors and a training ground for students – future founders and venture capitalists. Startups pitch to students, who play the investors, and venture capitalists (VCs) judge the student teams’ investment decisions.

Now VCIC is offering startups a competition within the competition: the “Most VC-Backable Startup Global Search,” leveraging the March Madness bracket of regional events. Unlike traditional startup pitch competitions where dozens of startups have only a few minutes of exposure, VCIC events are due diligence immersions, daylong events, for the few startups selected to participate.

For each regional competition, only three startups are chosen to pitch in-person, survive a gauntlet of six due diligence sessions (one with each student VC team), have lunch with the VC judges and negotiate term sheets with the teams that choose to invest in them.

Winners of regional events will be included on VCIC’s “Most VC-Backable Startups” list and will be eligible to be invited to the VCIC Global Finals in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, March 27-28, 2020, where the top 20 student teams, 12 most VC-backable startups and 30 VCs from around the U.S. will come together.

“Historically, founders come because we have enough VCs in the room to justify the day at VCIC,” says Patrick Vernon, VCIC director and clinical associate professor of strategy and entrepreneurship at UNC Kenan-Flagler. “When they leave, they are surprised by the value of the feedback from students and investors alike, and the expanded network base for future fundraising. Over the years, over 25% of the participating startups go on to raise venture capital after the event.”

In 2019, VCIC’s Most VC-Backable Startup was Admiral, a visitor relationship management company. “The competition is daunting, with student VC teams ripping apart your business model and leaving no due diligence stone unturned,” says Dan Rua, Admiral founder and CEO. “Securing multiple term sheets after such a thorough process was rewarding.”

Startups can apply at http://www.vcic.org/startups. The deadline is Dec. 15, 2019.

About the University of North Carolina Kenan-Flagler Business School

Consistently ranked one of the world’s best business schools, UNC Kenan-Flagler offers a broad range of programs – Undergraduate, MBA and Master of Accounting, PhD and Executive Development – and extraordinary, real-life learning experiences.

Proscia’s Concentriq® Dx Receives CE Mark for Primary Diagnosis

Leave a comment



PHILADELPHIA (PRWEB)

Proscia®, a leading provider of digital pathology software, has received a CE Mark for its Concentriq Dx solution for use in primary diagnosis. With this certification, Proscia accelerates its entry into the diagnostic pathology market in Europe and other key geographies globally to help laboratories keep pace with the rising cancer burden.

The CE Mark indicates that Concentriq Dx complies with the European In Vitro Diagnostic Regulations. “This underscores Proscia’s commitment to providing high-quality solutions to meet the needs of pathology laboratories and cancer patients in the EU and affiliated countries,” said Natalia Remmel, Proscia’s Director of Quality and Regulatory Affairs.

“Europe is plagued by a chronic shortage of pathologists,” explained Steve Holloway, Company Director of Signify Research at the Cranfield Innovation Centre in the United Kingdom. “In a recent workforce census conducted by the Royal College of Pathologists, only three percent of UK pathology departments reported having enough staff to meet clinical demand. Shortages like these are being blamed for slowing the rate at which cancer biopsies are diagnosed, ultimately delaying cancer treatment and potentially sacrificing patient outcomes as a result.”

Concentriq Dx enables pathologists to make a primary diagnosis of diseases like cancer from digitized images of patients’ tissue biopsies, helping laboratories to deliver more timely, higher quality diagnoses. By centering the practice of pathology around images instead of physical glass slides, Concentriq Dx automates time-consuming and error-prone manual tasks and streamlines access to specialized expertise.

“With Concentriq Dx, we are laying the foundation for the next generation of digital pathology at a crucial time,” said David West, CEO of Proscia. “The challenges faced in Europe are reflective of global trends and highlight the need to accelerate diagnostic workflows and improve accuracy. Concentriq Dx can drive costs out of the health system, relieve overburdened pathology laboratories, and, most importantly, quickly get accurate answers to physicians and their patients. With this CE Mark, Proscia is accelerating its entry into the worldwide clinical market.”

Concentriq Dx works with any scanner and laboratory information system (LIS), offering seamless integrations with 3DHISTECH, Hamamatsu, and Leica among other leading solutions. It also offers flexible cloud and on-premise deployment options to meet the current and future needs of laboratories transitioning to modern, image-centric digital pathology. To learn more about using Concentriq Dx in your laboratory, join Proscia’s demonstration webinar on Thursday 21 November at 14:00 GMT.*

About Proscia

Proscia is an AI software company that is changing the way the world practices pathology to transform cancer research and diagnosis. With the company’s Concentriq digital pathology platform and pipeline of AI algorithms, laboratories are leveraging new kinds of data to improve patient outcomes and accelerate discoveries. Proscia’s team of technologists, scientists, and pathologists is bringing a fresh approach to an outdated industry, helping the world to keep pace with the increasing demand for pathology services and fulfill the promise of precision care.

*In the U.S., Concentriq Dx is not cleared by the FDA for use in primary diagnosis.

Society: Christianity

Volume 2” is a compelling topic by topic read of the teachings which are embedded within the pages of the Bible

Leave a comment


News Image


MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB)

“Topical Bible Studies: Volume 2”: a purposeful narrative that explains the doctrines of the Bible that lets readers better identify with God and clarify his message to mankind. “Topical Bible Studies: Volume 2” is the creation of published author David B. Lendway, a faithful Christian and a retired engineer at a global engineering company.

Lendway writes, “This book is volume 2 of three volumes and contains a different collection of Bible topics than each of the other two volumes. These topics, like the previous topics in the other two volumes, will also allow the reader to easily identify, with little or no effort on their part, committing to memory exactly what God expects of them from within HIS written Word. Although this will not necessarily bring about the reader’s ability to remember precisely where each of these topics appears in the Bible’s book, chapter, and verse, it will—after reading enough of these topics—make their daily Bible reading much easier and so much more enjoyable due to their newfound understanding.

The reader will also discover when studying topic by topic they will remember the subject matter much better than when these particular subjects flew by them at lightning speed while reading along in their Bible.

These self-contained Bible studies work for everyone. It doesn’t matter where one stands in their faith or how much they know about the Bible; these studies will work. For those who are well-rooted in the Word, these studies will work for them as a review; those who own an average understanding of God’s Word will be able to use these studies not only as a review but also for learning something that God has said and they had previously unknowingly passed over. Those who know very little about the Word of God will be able to learn a great deal from these topical studies since they are self-contained and require no explanation because all commentary is backed up with book, chapter, and verse from the inspired Word of God. Those who know nothing about the Word and are seeking to learn about God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, their salvation, and the existence of this spiritual world they have heard so much about will now be able to learn straight from His Word right in the comfort of their living room whatever it is they want to know.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, David B. Lendway’s new book guides believers in their faith-driven journey to better grasp the magnitude of God in their physical and spiritual lives.

This book is the second of three volumes that desire to usher illumination to the hearts, minds, and spirits of people who have committed themselves to the pursuit of God and partake of his promised salvation.

Consumers can purchase “Topical Bible Studies: Volume 2” at traditional brick-and-mortar bookstores or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

SpyGuy Releases SCOUT, A Hidden Camera Finder For Airbnbs and Hotels

Leave a comment


Scout Hidden Camera Finder – Back

Hidden cameras make the news all the time… and those are just the ones that were found!


DALLAS (PRWEB)

Scout, the new hidden camera finder that empowers everyday people to protect their privacy, launched today with an unprecedented combination of ease of use, affordability, savvy design, and professional-grade technology. Scout is like a security team in your pocket: it works on all cameras, is easy to travel with, and is the first high-quality camera finder priced below $100.

Hidden cameras have gotten smaller and less conspicuous over the years, and Americans are increasingly concerned as they are found in places like locker rooms, bathrooms, hotel rooms and vacation rentals. Some cameras are smaller than a button, built into mundane items like coat hooks and USB chargers.

This epidemic has been extensively covered by The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Atlantic, and more.

A recent survey by IPX1031 found that 58% of Airbnb guests are concerned that property owners may have hidden cameras within their Airbnb, and more than 1 in 10 Airbnb guests claim to have found a hidden camera in their rentals.

In the past, travelers were limited to a few insufficient options, like expensive hidden camera-finders that cost hundreds of dollars, or numerous, error-prone steps like scanning Wi-Fi networks, carefully inspecting many suspicious items, or using smartphone apps that claimed to detect cameras but fell short of that promise.

Scout is a breakthrough new option. It employs six special, high-powered LED lights to help users easily “scout” for hidden cameras in sensitive places. Plus, it comes with a pinhole camera to practice on so you know what you’re looking for. Scout requires users to take just a few simple steps:


  • Stand in the middle of the room

  • Hold Scout up to your eye, and turn the power on

  • Scout flashes high-end LED lights that bounce off all camera lenses

  • Alert local police to any hidden cameras found

“Hidden cameras have become a huge problem for travelers,” said Allen Walton, designer of Scout and founder of SpyGuy. “Nobody realizes how easy cameras are to hide. I get Google alerts all day long from media outlets, Reddit users, and other places that talk about the latest spy camera that was found in an Airbnb or Starbucks bathroom. Scout helps find cameras so you don’t have to worry about what some stranger is going to do with videos of you in a private moment.”

Scout draws on Walton’s decade of experience as founder of SpyGuy, where he has served more than 75,000 people like new parents and law enforcement officials with surveillance and counter-surveillance solutions. Numerous high-profile hidden camera incidents and calls from concerned individuals inspired him to design this new, intuitive solution that helps everyone safeguard their privacy.

Learn more about the Scout hidden camera-finder at https://www.spyguy.com/scout. Purchase the Scout hidden camera finder on the Scout website here: https://www.spyguy.com/products/scout-hidden-camera-finder.

About Scout and SpyGuy:

Launched in 2019, Scout is a beautifully designed counter-surveillance product that finds hidden cameras in Airbnbs, hotels, dorm and locker rooms, and public restrooms.

SpyGuy.com was created in 2014 and has served over 75,000 customers, ranging from concerned parents and victims of workplace harassment, all the way to the DEA and Department of Justice. SpyGuy brings transparency, expertise, and great customer service to help people who need surveillance products to solve emotional or financial distress.

“We are thrilled to welcome Tom Clements, a former UBA Partner, back to our organization in his new association with Joe Solimine. Tom is already familiar with the sharing culture here at UBA and we know he will be a great asset,” said UBA Board Chairman, Bill Kite.

“We are both excited and proud to join United Benefit Advisors. As an independent brokerage organization, joining UBA is something that all firms aspire to and we are honored to have been invited to join this esteemed organization and partner firms. The UBA partnership fosters a truly collaborative atmosphere to share industry best practices, peer knowledge, proprietary tools, services and resources. This alliance allows us to bring unprecedented value to our clients. Most importantly, the UBA partnership will directly enhance our clients’ experience as well as strategically align with Meridian’s principles: discipline, diligence, honesty and commitment to community,” said Tom Clements, Partner, Meridian Risk Management.
