Linc Housing Celebrates 35 Years of Service to California Communities; New Logo Unveiled at Anniversary Party

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

Linc Housing introduces its new logo.

For three and a half decades, Linc has worked hard to create homes for thousands of residents, adding supportive services that increase housing stability, improve health outcomes, and promote well-being.


LONG BEACH, Calif. (PRWEB)

This year marks Linc Housing’s 35th year creating affordable housing for communities throughout California. Since its founding in 1984, the nonprofit organization has helped develop more than 8,000 affordable homes in 79 communities. Linc’s future is bright with more than 1,500 more units in the pipeline, many for special needs populations including individuals and families that have experienced homelessness.

Linc is using this milestone as an opportunity to introduce an all-new logo and brand. The new look was unveiled on July 24 at Linc’s anniversary celebration, “A Record Night,” held at The GRAMMY Museum ® L.A. LIVE. More than 250 colleagues, partners and friends joined Linc staff and board members to honor the organization’s work. The updated logo comes with a new tagline, “the Linc between hope and home.” The new look will be rolled out to the website and collateral materials through the remainder of 2019.

“For three and a half decades, Linc has worked hard to create homes for thousands of residents, adding supportive services that increase housing stability, improve health outcomes, and promote well-being,” said Rebecca Clark, president and CEO, Linc Housing. “What started in 1984 as a small group of concerned leaders has evolved into a vibrant organization of more than 60 team members and countless friends and partners. Through the years, our mission has remained the same — to serve those underserved by the marketplace.”

When the organization first launched, it partnered with other developers to create housing, mainly for seniors on fixed incomes. In 1988, Linc began to acquire properties, and then in 1989, the nonprofit broke ground on the first developments. After focusing on senior housing for many years, Linc soon expanded its work to serve low-income, working families. In 2004, the Linc Cares resident services program launched to provide support for those living at Linc’s properties. After-school programs, financial literacy and job readiness workshops, exercise classes, and social activities are now a regular part of life for Linc residents.

As environmental concerns became part of the housing conversation, Linc became a leader in sustainability. Linc has long been on the forefront of using environmentally sustainable methods to build and rehabilitate affordable housing communities, such as having new communities be LEED certifiable and retrofitting the portfolio to maximize energy and water efficiency. Linc has also participated in multiple state energy pilots.

In 2011, Linc’s efforts pivoted to include housing and services for special needs populations when SEASONS at Compton opened. The new model provided housing for low-income and fixed-income seniors, including seniors with developmental and physical disabilities and those who have experienced homelessness. Soon, The Palace in Long Beach and Mosaic Gardens at Huntington Park joined the portfolio, adding homes for transition-age youth who had aged out of the foster care system.

With the rise in homelessness in Southern California, Linc has expanded its work to include individuals and families who have experienced homelessness. Serving this segment required Linc to find new sources of funding and new partners to help provide the supportive services to ensure residents are successful and stable in their new homes. To date, Linc has finished 227 apartments for the formerly homeless with 388 more in the pipeline.

“It’s incredible to see the progress Linc has made in recent years,” said Suny Lay Chang, Linc chief operating officer. “Our pipeline has doubled in the last three years, and this trajectory will continue. Also, we believe affordable housing is a platform for deeper community development, including workforce development, education, youth development, health resources, and much more. We’re working to expand the impact of housing, services, and community development efforts for the residents and neighborhoods Linc serves.”

With this growing commitment to deeper community development, Linc has added community-serving businesses and services to the ground floor of its communities, as with Spark at Midtown in Long Beach due to open in 2020. Linc is also developing housing with similar resources in Inglewood, San Pedro, Willowbrook, and Los Angeles’ Historic Filipinotown.

“It’s been a great first 35 years, and we look forward to many more decades of addressing housing needs throughout California,” said Clark. “We know one key solution to homelessness is housing, and we’re committed to working with our partners to preserve the affordable housing we have and to build more to meet the needs of our communities.”

The upgraded version of SWAGTRON’s popular EB7 sees the addition of gears, a larger battery for improved range, a longer seat post and limited edition orange color.

The EB7 is one of our best-selling folding e-bikes. But we knew it could be better. We listened to feedback from customers, and made small changes that will have a big impact on versatility and day-to-day performance.


DENVER (PRWEB)

SWAGTRON™, maker of some of the most affordable electric bikes for sale, today announces an upgraded version of its popular EB7 folding e-bike. Compared to the existing EB7 Elite, the new EB7 Plus sees the addition of gears and a larger battery for improved range. Other changes include a longer seat post to better fit taller riders and initial availability in a limited edition orange colorway.

“The EB7 is one of our best-selling folding e-bikes,” says Jason Wakefield, CMO. “But we knew it could be better. We listened to feedback from customers, and made small changes that will have a big impact on versatility and day-to-day performance.”

The EB7 Plus also gets a larger 6.4Ah battery that bumps the range from 15 to 20 miles per charge. The battery remains removable for easy charging and the ability to swap for a freshly charged battery (sold separately) if need be.

The EB7 Plus also retains the smooth and powerful 350-watt motor, 18.6 mph top speed (throttle only), 16-inch wheels, LED headlight, bar-mounted display, rear suspension and general styling of its predecessor, most notably the sleek, angular lines of its hydroformed aluminum frame.

Dual disc brakes provide consistent stopping power in any weather. And the ability to quickly fold (approximately 10 seconds) to a compact 39.4 by 27.6 inches makes it the perfect cycling companion when space is at a premium for storage and transport.

Mostly known for its compact and folding electric bikes, SWAGTRON also recently released a series of full-size electric bikes, including city bikes and cruisers.

The EB7 Plus folding electric bike retails for $770 but is available for an introductory price of $699.99 at SWAGTRON.com, Amazon and other fine retailers.

e-Vision Smart Optics a recognized leader in Ophthalmic Solutions addresses the vast growing categories of reality products

Leave a comment



SARASOTA, Fla. (PRWEB)

With the rapid expansion of reality products and the growing list of terminology, eVision™ Optics has developed a comprehensive web overview to provide a greater understanding of the technology and terms in use today. The new categories are broken down into VR (Virtual Reality), AR (Augmented Reality), MR (Mixed Reality) and, more generally, XR (Extended Reality) to cover the entire range of reality uses aligned with vision.

In light of releases in publications like Forbes (See, 5 Important Augmented And Virtual Reality Trends For 2019 Everyone Should Read)* touting the transformative effect the different reality based offerings will have in the near future. And the recent announcement by The Motley Fool (Sep 24, 2019)** that Facebook is not only acquiring technology companies in the sector, Facebook is reportedly working on AR smart glasses. eVision Optics goal is to provide a detailed overview of the differences in the technologies and terminology for companies interested in licensing eVision Optics patents for electroactive optics and wearable electronic frames.

“The most fundamental component of any reality-based product is vision, and our patents cover in-eye, over the eye, and wearable devices that make the technology possible and we offer licensing for patent protection in this growing category,” Joel Zychick, CEO, eVision™ Optics.

New to the website

https://www.evisionoptics.com/reality-innovation/

The new website’s overview reality page covers the key areas and terminology associated with each including:

  • Augmented Reality (AR)

  • Virtual Reality (VR)

  • Mixed Reality (MR)

  • Extended Reality (XR)


Reality based vision products are growing at a rapid pace in a wide and varied marketplace. Examples cross a wide spectrum from consumer products to industrial applications and will soon be found in the frontiers of outer space with the developments eVision has created. eVision™ Optics patents can be the foundation for the possibilities of instant visualization of data to benefit people in real-world environments. Personal use is in rapid development as powerful microcomputers and cloud based connectivity deliver real-time data for immersive applications as per the Facebook announcement.

Extended Reality is enabling viewing in a simulated environment in real time merged with the physical environment, one example, Autodesk*** utilizing Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR) providing the ability to visualize a home rendering while touring a property site or the visualization of an interior design in an unfinished building to speed up and stream-line the selection processes. 

Mixed Reality (MR) for Military and law enforcement will benefit with real-time downloadable content that can protect and save lives, utilizing instantly updated data and graphics. They say “a picture is worth a thousand words” and when you consider the multitude of applications, realistic 3d modeling and data delivery served in a visual format, soon reality-based visual products will be as common as the cell phone technology we utilize every day.

“Technology trends are converging in reality reality-based vision products and for interaction they all are dependent on the vision interface. I believe that in the past, the terms, ‘Virtual Reality’ and ‘Augmented Reality’ covered most of the offerings. Today, so many new applications are being developed that people are struggling to name them. Regardless of what you call them, the most important element of the process of commercializing reality products is securing the intellectual property protection that eVision can offer,” said Tony Van Heugten, CTO, eVision™ Optics.

A New Article Explains Why Drivers Should Renew Their Car Insurance Coverage

Leave a comment


News Image

“Renewing car insurance is the safest way to make sure that you drive legally. If you want to switch carriers, make sure not to create coverage gaps,” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Autocarsinsurancetips.com has released a new blog post that explains the benefits of renewing car insurance and keeping the same insurance provider.

For more info and free car insurance quotes online, visit https://autocarsinsurancetips.com/why-you-should-renew-car-insurance/

With so many companies offering attractive prices, it may be really tempting to switch carriers. However, this is not always beneficial to the client. Find out why drivers must renew and why sometimes is better to stay with the same agency. Also, we recommend you to get multiple quotes from http://autocarsinsurancetips.com and compare prices before making any decision.

1.    First of all, clients must renew car insurance in order to drive legally. Each state imposes a degree of financial responsibility for its drivers. Driving without insurance provides reasons for being fined, having licenses suspended and having the vehicle impound.

2.    Renewing car insurance prevents coverage lapses. Car insurance companies view with suspicion drivers who do not take care of their coverage when it is about to expire. Any coverage gap will make the company charge extra the policyholder. Companies can reinstate coverage if the lapse is not that big, but after 2-3 days, it will become a problem. Each company has its own policy regarding coverage lapses and providing coverage.

3.    Keeping the same agency can provide various benefits. Some discounts are activated after several years of continuous coverage. The most important ones are the loyalty discount and the no-claim bonus. Switching the carrier will nullify these bonuses.

Autocarsinsurancetips.com is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website. On this site, customers have access to quotes for insurance plans from various agencies, such as local or nationwide agencies, brand names insurance companies, etc.

Plano Based Media Network Translucent Portals Inc. Has Hired Heidi Edwards As Its New President Of Teacher’s Partner

Teacher’s Partner President

Translucent Portals has hired Heidi Edwards as its new President of Teacher’s Partner, making the first time in history that an African American woman is at the helm of an education company capable of disrupting an industry known to be an oligopoly.


DALLAS (PRWEB)

Translucent Portals has hired Heidi Edwards as its new President of Teacherspartner.com, making the first time in history that an African American woman is at the helm of an education company capable of disrupting an industry known to be an oligopoly.

According to London based investment bank IBIS Capital back in 2013, the global education market surpassed $4.4 trillion, with eLearning being its fastest growing sector.

Just about every teacher will recognize a sad truth: they are working longer and longer hours week after week. Teacher’s Partner is designed to tackle this teacher workload crisis by saving them time and money in regard to satisfactorily abiding by planning and assessment policies required by the majority of American K-12 public schools. The website provides professional development as well as top-notch teaching tools and content including but not limited to STEM Scope & Sequence Lesson Plans, PowerPoints, videos, graphic organizers, worksheets, icebreakers, and more. Lesson plans are TEKS and common core aligned and will be offered in all templates (i.e. Madeline Hunter, 4A, 5E, and 7E).

The site will limit memberships to those who are most intimately involved with education; current K-12 teachers, retired teachers, professors of education from accredited institutions, and students in teacher preparatory programs. Member teachers who develop content will be paid for licensing their material to the site. Like TV and pop stars, teachers will earn residuals every time their materials are downloaded or viewed. Subscription to the site will cost $12/month or $100/year. Seventy percent of the site’s total revenue from advertising and subscription sales will be quarterly redirected back to the contributing teachers on a pro rata basis.

“Not only does Ms. Edwards have a Masters degree in Education and Divinity from Grand Canyon University and Fuller Theological Seminary, respectively, but she has also worked relentlessly for the past 180 days with limited pay,” says Adam Hamid, Translucent Portals Inc’s Founder and CEO. “In our culture, you earn your keep. Ms. Edwards earned her equity position and deserves her executive role in our soon to be publicly held corporation,” Mr. Hamid further stated.

Translucent Portals is weeks away from completing their audited financials in which they will subsequently retain a placement agent to file their registration statement with the SEC. Upon the government agency’s approval, the Company will then complete the 15c211 application process, select a market maker, and obtain a symbol with the intent of trading shortly thereafter.

Translucent Portals Inc. is currently completing their Series A round of funding at a $33 m valuation.

About Translucent Portals:

Translucent Portals is a user-driven production and distribution company for media content. Focusing on niche markets such as education and local areas, Translucent Portals builds dedicated communities of members who both supply and consume the content offered on its websites.

Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (REFG) Begins Depositing Cash and Announces Upcoming Launch of Pay with Go!

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

PayWithGo.com

“We’ve been working with some of the largest companies in the industry on our product rollouts and are presently providing depository services for clients nationwide.”


LAS VEGAS (PRWEB)

Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (OTC PINK-REFG), a leading provider of regulatory-compliant financial services for state-sanctioned marijuana, today announced it has launched its cash depository services nationwide and will immediately make them available to all of its clients. The company, which provides electronic payment services to state-sanctioned cannabis companies, has been approached by its clients to provide depository services for its physical currency as well as electronic transfers. The company has been opening bank accounts for its clients.

“The objective is to get cash out of the transaction,” said Jeremy Roberts, CEO of Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions. “With some transactions, that just isn’t going to be possible—just as it isn’t in a traditional retail scenario. Providing our clients with a fully-regulatory compliant method to deposit their cash is something we’ve been asked to do, and we have begun doing so. We believe we are the only company currently providing banking services in all states with legalized cannabis. Licensed marijuana establishments may apply for a bank account or payment processing on our website, http://www.paywithgo.com.”

The company also announced that its electronic payment system, Pay With Go!, has also completed a programming update and will be launched in select dispensaries before a full nationwide rollout. Go! is an electronic payment processing platform that supports money transfers and serves as an alternative to traditional transactions, such as cash or check. The system, with best-in-class security, allows state-sanctioned cannabis entities to accept electronic, domestic payment without the need for paper currency. The company believes this system solves the “cash problem” facing the cannabis industry.

“We’re uniquely positioned to offer banking in each state that offers sanctioned cannabis. We offer a fully disclosed and regulatory compliant payment system and now we will also handle our clients’ cash for deposits,” said Mr. Roberts. “We’ve been working with some of the largest companies in the industry on our product rollouts and are presently providing depository services for clients nationwide.”

About Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions Our mission is to provide end-to-end management, across multiple management systems, for medicinal marijuana operations. Many medicinal marijuana companies have experienced such rapid growth that they are finding it difficult to manage all aspects of their operation. In order to become a successful and compliant medicinal marijuana operation, effective management must depend on many different systems. REFG solves the fragmentation problem by identifying tools that are important to dispensaries and customizing those tools specifically to the industry. We strive to create awareness within the medicinal marijuana industry and to develop an environmentally friendly, economically sustainable business while increasing shareholder value. For more information, please visit the company’s website at http://www.paywithgo.com.

Slash Electronics Time-To-Market & Costs Using Reference Designs For OEM Rack Mount Custom System Enclosures

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

Electronic Enclosures, Inc. Logo


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

These 19” rack mount chassis reference designs and accompanying hot-swap modules were developed by the team at Electronic Enclosures, Inc. spearheaded by Don Goss, CTO. This innovation was borne from the need to provide resources reducing customer’s time-to-market and development costs while improving a product’s lifespan. The revenue projecting bell curve of a product’s lifespan is greatly improved by an early market introduction. Additionally, being first or early to market will outpace imitators, increase margins and further reduce costs.

After decades of developing custom rack mount system enclosures from scratch for OEMs the team determined that a series of flexible reference designs could cover a broad spectrum of customer’s system electromechanical architecture requirements, saving customers significant time and money. From a customer’s system requirements one can select an appropriate reference design from the many options and quickly stretch it into shape. Then, very quickly incorporate required modules for power, cooling, field replaceable units (FRUs), etc.

The flexibility to immediately make modifications to adhere to customer’s requirements is key. “After reviewing years of switches, routers, servers, etc., for telco, medical, industrial, commercial, aerospace and defense equipment, we developed this modular reference design system where each implementation results in a unique system. We can go from a customer’s concept to manufacturing in less than half the time,” says Goss. Using these reference design resources a custom system concept demonstrating electromechanical requirements can be ready to present in a day, not a week or even more.

As the mechanical design is modified the manufacturing documentation parametrically follows. The rack mount chassis reference design system can go from concept to CDR to estimating and manufacturing very quickly. This can include a full box-build. Time-to-market is critical, as is cost. This flexible modular system reduces both.

Electronic Enclosures, Inc., has just launched a website specific to custom rack mount enclosure designs. Visit https://19rackmountchassis.com for extensive information and examples demonstrating how flexible rack mount system reference designs come together to save time and money for custom rack mount system solutions.

Electronic Enclosures Inc., and its business has evolved over several decades to reflect and keep pace with the evolution of the electronics industry. In recent years the company has become more focused on higher-end, hi-tech electronic systems to provide design, manufacturing and box-build services.
