“We chose Wayback Burgers because of the freshly-made quality of the food,” says Ling. “We are looking to draw more people into the shopping mall here in Brunei, and we want to do that through quality food like what Wayback has to offer. We love the variety and are confident locals here will love it, too.”

Ling and Tan are committed to their local community. They actively participate in local charities to support children and families in need, as well as kids with disabilities. With more than 10 years of experience in the food industry, they are passionate about providing locals with a place to enjoy top-quality food and spend time together with friends and family. Wayback’s nostalgic feel and proven menu options will do just that.

Wayback Burgers Chief Development Officer (CDO), Bill Chemero, is impressed with Ling and Tan’s success to date and believes the company’s fast-casual burger concept is a perfect fit for Brunei.

“We are thrilled Lim Hui and Gina are opening our newest Wayback Burgers locations in Brunei,” said Chemero. “They both have years of experience in the food industry, know what the Bruneian people want. They possess the perfect skill set to run a successful Wayback Burgers location. Plus, it’s obvious they are both deeply committed to their community and support countless local organizations.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

GW Holdings, LLC has announced the launch of its “House of Brands.” in Los Angeles. The company will continue to provide resources for its own brands, while helping new brands, companies, and individuals alike bring products to market. The new product lines target niche demographics, including a new ultra-luxury brand.

With an in-house creative team, procurement, manufacturing and distribution networks, GW Holdings is aiming to solidify a hold on the California market for curated cannabis and CBD products. With the re-launch of its Magic brand later this year, a brand that once served the medicinal market in California, GW looks to address customers who seek premium cannabis infused with concentrates. Moreover, Lime, a new and trending brand with affordable premium products in Los Angeles is the latest addition to the GW umbrella.

With the addition of these new brands, GW is recognizing and adapting its offering to the niche markets within the cannabis and CBD space, which still remains somewhat in its infancy. Giovanti Humphries, CFO at GW Holdings explains: “As the cannabis industry is finding its footing, we are utilising years of production and manufacturing expertise to bring new exciting products to market. By leveraging our streamlined sourcing & manufacturing process of hand selected flower, we can serve niches that previously had restricted or no access to the products of this caliber.

The new Lime product lines are now available for purchase at several MedMen locations in Los Angeles, with expansion throughout California slated for the end of this year. The Lime range of CBD products and Magic luxury CBD products will be available for online purchases in the US by early 2020. Products currently being offered under the GW house of brands include a variety of pre-rolls, blunts, flower and concentrate cartridges, with an edible range soon to follow.

With a strong foothold in the Los Angeles marketplace, GW Holdings are not only consolidating brands that cover the broad market, but are also targeting those that are carefully crafted for the underserved connaisseur submarkets in today’s industry.

2019 Investigator of the Year Award Goes to Mercury Insurance’s Mark Di Lauro

Leave a comment


News Image

I absolutely enjoy every aspect of this job – the investigation into the claim, the pursuit of fraud, getting into the mind of what the insured is doing, and ultimately protecting our insured from those who are engaging in criminal activity.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Mark Di Lauro, a member of the Mercury Insurance Special Investigations Unit (SIU) team, was recently named the 2019 Investigator of the Year by the Southern California Chapter of International Association of Special Investigation Units (IASIU). The highly prestigious IASIU Awards are given on an annual basis to individuals who have displayed outstanding investigative services to their organizations, as well as to the industry as a whole.

Di Lauro, who has been an investigator for Mercury’s SIU for nearly three years, was recognized for his work examining a policyholder’s reported water loss. His investigation revealed that the loss had, in fact, been staged and his findings saved Mercury nearly $50,000. Additionally, the policyholder was sentenced to 17 years in prison after a criminal trial and ordered to pay more than $900,000 in restitution to various insurance carriers.

“I am very proud of the award,” said Di Lauro. “I would like to think that it not only encompasses this particular claim, but a culmination of claims that we investigate that result in millions of dollars of savings for our policyholders each year. I firmly believe that this was a team award for Mercury SIU and not just my individual award.

“I absolutely enjoy every aspect of this job – the investigation into the claim, the pursuit of fraud, getting into the mind of what the insured is doing, and ultimately protecting our insured from those who are engaging in criminal activity.”

Mercury’s SIU, which was founded in 1978, consists of 40 seasoned investigators in 11 states who work to catch the fraudulent claims filed every year by white-collar con artists, shady doctors and lawyers, and even the occasional celebrity. Insurance fraud, the second most costly white-collar crime in America behind tax evasion, accounts for at least 10 percent of property and casualty claims, and cost citizens billions of dollars each year. The SIU exists to prevent phony payouts and exaggerated claims stemming from staged accidents, arson, auto and identity theft, and padding of medical expenses, to keep rates low for Mercury policyholders.

The public can do its part to help lower insurance costs by reporting suspicious activity to the National Insurance Crime Bureau.

About Mercury Insurance

Since 1962, Mercury has specialized in offering quality insurance at affordable prices. For more information, visit http://www.mercuryinsurance.com or Facebook and follow the company on Twitter.

About the Mercury Special Investigations Unit

Whether it’s a staged car crash, home arson or exaggerated injuries and suspect medical billing, criminals are creating new ways to cheat their insurance company, necessitating the existence of groups like the Mercury Insurance SIU – the CSI of the insurance industry.

Mercury’s SIU was founded in 1978, becoming one of the first companies to create an investigative department to combat insurance fraud. Since its inception, the SIU, which employs more than 40 seasoned investigators nationwide, has exposed thousands of fraudulent auto, home and medical claims, saving policyholders millions of dollars annually. The SIU mission: prevent phony payouts, which helps maintain low premiums for Mercury customers.

Wavee Enhances the Morning Routine with the World’s Only Toothbrush Smart Speaker System, Now Available on Kickstarter

Leave a comment


News Image

More and more, people typically use their weak phone speaker or have to hassle with bringing a Bluetooth speaker in and out of the bathroom. With Wavee, they will never run into that problem again…whether at home or when on the road.


TORONTO (PRWEB)

Wavee, a three-speed sonic-wave toothbrush combined with smart speaker technology that delivers rich amplified sound, is now available on Kickstarter. Wavee empowers customers with their favorite music, podcasts and audiobooks – and features Amazon Alexa compatibility.

“Wavee was created to enhance the everyday routine of oral care, something all of us have to do day-in and day-out,” said Wavee Co-founder & CEO Jonathan Semira. “Wavee works double duty in the bathroom, with a smart speaker charging base that allows you to maximize downtime by streaming your favorite playlists in omni-directional sound, while the separate electric toothbrush treats your smile to a brilliant cleaning.”

Semira came up with the idea of Wavee by his own recognition that there was a void when it came to enjoying entertainment during his morning routine. He says Wavee allows everyone to maximize their time, which is commonly up to 60 minutes a daily or more, that users spend prepping for the day ahead.

“We researched the oral hygiene market and realized there’s a real need for this ground-breaking product, especially among millennials,” he said. “More and more, people typically use their weak phone speaker or have to hassle with bringing a Bluetooth speaker in and out of the bathroom. With Wavee, they will never run into that problem again…whether at home or when on the road.”

At its core, Wavee is a set of separate devices that perform important functions within a person’s daily routine – an electric toothbrush that provides optimal teeth cleaning through a sonic wave movement brush head backed by a powerful three-speed motor, along with an accompanying smart speaker that delivers rich, amplified sound allowing customers to curate their own content and entertainment.

“Through technology and innovative design, our team fused these two functions together to create the market’s first electric toothbrush and integrated smart speaker product,” Semira said. “This opens up an entirely new and enhanced user experience, with Wavee providing the missing link to turn any common bathroom space into a secluded haven.”

The smart speaker includes a proprietary charging dock for the brush, both of which are charged with one single USB-C Port connection. The Wavee’s built-in lithium-ion rechargeable battery lasts up to 25 days on a single charge, allowing for minimal charging time and portability for travel.

When it comes to dental hygiene, the Wavee brush head features soft bristles designed to clean germs, bacteria and remove plaque – while being gentle on the gums.

Wavee’s full line of features include:


  •     An LED Light

  •     A Removable Cleaning Sleeve

  •     An Easy Wipe Top Surface

  •     Inductive Charging

  •     An IPX 5 – Water Resistant Speaker

  •     Superior Voice Pick-Up

  •     Amazon Alexa Compatibility through HSP

  •     A Wall Mountable Feature

  •     A two-minute timer with 30 second intervals for cleaning the four quadrants of the mouth

  •     Three Brushing Modes – (Standard (41,000rpm), White (48,000rpm), Sensitive (33,000rpm)

  •     Eight-Hour Playback

  •     A 48,000 RPM Motor

  •     Omnidirectional Sound

  •     Bluetooth 5.0 Compatibility

As part of the brand’s goal to provide a ‘total’ oral care experience, Wavee will also offer supplementary products such as toothpaste, floss and teeth whitening strips, all of which are available through a subscription package with the Wavee product.

For more information and to purchase Wavee at an early-bird discount during crowdfunding, visit the Wavee Campaign Page on Kickstarter.

Minalex Corporation Lights Up the Night for DeepLight Labs

Leave a comment



WHITEHOUSE STATION, N.J. (PRWEB)

Minalex was called in to help DeepLight Labs with its signature showstopper product, “The DeepLight,” a programmable art installation piece comprised of two-way mirrors and hundreds of LED lights housed in a geometric frame. DeepLight Co-Founders David Hughes and Neil Merchant—both software developers and frequent music festivalgoers—designed the DeepLight to dazzle audiences at music festivals and other high-profile events with custom elaborate light shows and animations that can be manually controlled and synced with music.

The DeepLight started out as a prototype named “Carl” that was designed specifically for music festivals. The prototype was fabricated with a custom 3-D printed frame, acrylic mirrors and 720 LEDs. Hughes and Merchant knew they would not be able to use 3-D printing technology for the units they would eventually sell to the public, nor could they continue to experiment with 3-D printing in the prototype phase, due to cost considerations. DeepLight Labs turned to Minalex, widely known for expertise in custom prototyping, to devise a solution.

Minalex regards prototyping as a critical step in the manufacturing process, to ensure the end result will be to the client’s exact specifications. Minalex engineering and design teams work collaboratively at the prototype stage, using precise, accurate specifications that enable everyone involved in the manufacturing process to identify issues that may need correction. This effective, efficient process helps save substantial amounts of money and time down the road.

With the prototyping phase successfully completed, DeepLight is now in the final stages of rolling out units that will be sold to the general public. For the physical framework of the new DeepLight units, Minalex created custom, high-grade anodized aluminum extrusions, chosen for their high quality, strength and lightweight properties. The extruded parts both shape the structure of the DeepLight and house the complex array of wiring and electronics that drive the DeepLight’s highly sophisticated visual effects, including dozens of custom lighting modes and animations.

The Minalex process for prototyping truly takes customization to the next level. They can easily produce low-volume runs for limited products. They also offer “no minimum” quantity orders, meaning they are able to create just one single custom item if that is all that is required. To learn more, take a look at how Minalex created a successful prototype solution for Pella.
