EnVue Telematics Partners With Derive Systems To Provide Clients Powerful Vehicle Optimization Technology

By combining EnVue Telematics’ powerful fleet management software with Derive’s powerful active vehicle management solutions, fleet managers can enjoy a robust suite of optimizations and cutting-edge technology to see long-term savings and success

EnVue Telematics, a leader in the intelligent vehicle technology field, has partnered with Derive Systems to offer advanced fleet management software that shifts the responsibility for improved performance from the driver to the vehicle.

EnVue will offer clients Derive Systems software that supports better vehicle performance and offer fleet managers another way to optimize operations. Automotive technology from Derive Systems upgrades existing software to better manage vehicle speed, RPMs and tailors shift points for more conservative driving.

This leads to better fuel economy, fewer greenhouse gas emissions, and reduced risk exposure.

“By combining EnVue Telematics’ powerful fleet management software with Derive’s powerful active vehicle management solutions, fleet managers can enjoy a robust suite of optimizations and cutting-edge technology to see long-term savings and success,” said Karl Weber, SVP Enterprise Sales & Marketing for Derive Systems. “We’re excited about this partnership with EnVue Telematics and the opportunity to empower fleet managers with the right tools and technology they need to run successful fleets.”

Derive focuses on four fleet management areas: safety, fuel efficiency, productivity, and sustainability. Derive software eliminates unsafe vehicle operations such as harsh acceleration, speeding, cell phone use and driving without a seatbelt fastened.

Derive guarantees a 6% reduction in fuel savings. However, others have seen more, including a client who had an 11% percent reduction in total spending on fuel. Another saw fuel savings of $7.5 million and a 9% improvement in fuel efficiency. Still another client reported preventing more than 9,000 tons of CO2 emissions – the equivalent of removing 1,680 cars from the road each year.

Weight Loss Surgery Gives Willpower the Help it Needs to Defeat Obesity, says West Medical


https://www.prweb.com/

Resisting over-consumption of our favorite high-calorie treats is about more than mere willpower for the severely obese.

West Medical says weight loss surgery is the one proven method of short-circuiting this metabolic catch-22.

An October 1 article on Medical Xpress reports on the evermore evident fact that failed weight-loss attempts are not the result of weak willpower. Severely obese individuals who are attempting to lose weight may be extremely motivated and determined, and quite disciplined in most areas of their lives, but they are fighting against their own body’s innate biological processes. In some cases, these individuals may be able to rapidly lose significant amounts of weight, but that’s when the real challenge starts. As the body recognizes that it is deviating from its normal state, complex chemical processes start to encourage overeating in a number of ways largely involving the production of hormones. The feelings of appetite these hormones stimulate are essentially indistinguishable from hunger and are extremely difficult to ignore even for the most determined individual. Worse, they only increase as more weight is lost. Southern California weight loss clinic West Medical says weight loss surgery is the one proven method of short-circuiting this metabolic catch-22.

West Medical notes that there are a number of ways to take advantage of this kind of medicine. For severely obese individuals, the clinic continues, sleeve gastrectomy surgery may be the most effective method of fighting hunger hormone production. The weight loss clinic notes that, during the surgery, the patient’s stomach is reconfigured into a pouch-like chamber that is reduced to about one-tenth of its original size. West Medical explains that, as the remaining portion of the stomach is removed, production centers for most hunger hormones are either removed or significantly hampered. The clinic says that by hindering this biological process, patients are much less likely to splurge their way back to obesity after they have lost significant weight – although, of course, having a much smaller stomach also makes overeating far more unpleasant.

The weight loss specialists acknowledge that serious lifestyle changes must occur after any weight loss procedure for it to be a long-term success – but the surgery makes them easier. Of course, as the benefits of weight loss accrue, life can become a lot more enjoyable. Moreover, the weight loss clinic notes that a wealth of studies have provided an exceptional amount of evidence stating that patients are far less likely to suffer premature death – and the serious health problems that cause it. While medical science has reduced the mortality rate on many of these illnesses significantly, most of them can also greatly reduce an individual’s overall quality of life. West Medical concludes that the benefits of weight loss operations such as sleeve gastrectomy surgery are more than worth the effort.

Patients who qualify for a sleeve gastrectomy typically have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or more or 35 or more with related health problems such as type 2 diabetes. Other patients may take advantage of a growing number of alternative procedures.

  • Make sure that all electrical components and systems are working properly. Water damages everything electrical. Ask for the car to be started and see if all dashboard indicators are running properly. Also check the ACU, mp3 player, safety warnings and so on.
  • Carefully analyze the chassis. Look for all sorts of stains, especially mud stains. Also pay attention to musty odors.
  • Verify all liquids. If they appear milky or there are beads of water in them. This is a clear sign of water damage. Discolored seats, seat belts or doors also indicate water damage.

New Sigma Book Provides Strategies to Prevent Violence in Healthcare Settings


De-Escalating Violence in Healthcare: Strategies to Reduce Emotional Tension and Aggression cover image

“Healthcare professionals can, at any time, encounter an agitated person in their profession. How that healthcare worker responds to that situation can make the difference between the situation diffusing and resolving calmly or escalating to a physical, violent encounter.”

Violent incidents are more than four times as likely to occur in healthcare settings than in other professional workplaces. In 2014, 21% of registered nurses and nursing students reported being physically assaulted at work and more than 50% reported being verbally abused. Experts estimate at least 50% of healthcare professionals will encounter violence at least once in their healthcare career.

The most beneficial method of preventing healthcare violence is de-escalation—using therapeutic communication and interventions to defuse emotional tension. In De-Escalating Violence in Healthcare, author S. E. McKnight provides a comprehensive guidebook of therapeutic de-escalation techniques to improve safety in healthcare settings and manage aggressive behavior. The content outlines best practice techniques for easy and successful application in real-world scenarios—providing objectives, case studies, and graphics, as well as electronic assessment and relevant documentation templates. Further, specific techniques that address difficult behavioral issues associated with schizophrenia, dementia, bipolar disorder, delirium, and anxiety/panic disorders are also provided.

“De-escalation is one of the most valuable skills a healthcare worker can possess,” said author S. E. McKnight, DNP, MSN, BA, RN-BC. “Healthcare professionals can, at any time, encounter an agitated person in their profession. How that healthcare worker responds to that situation can make the difference between the situation diffusing and resolving calmly or escalating to a physical, violent encounter.”

The author has also created material downloads to support the use of this book in classroom and professional settings. Materials such as the De-Escalating Violence in Healthcare Quiz (plus answer key) and a De-Escalation Body Language Tips Sheet, along with other supplemental files, are available for free download at https://sigma.nursingrepository.org/handle/10755/17096.

BullGuard Launches Small Office Security To Protect Businesses From Cyber Threats


https://www.prweb.com/

Award-winning BullGuard is a cybersecurity company focused on the consumer and small business markets. We make it simple to protect everything in your digital life.

“Small businesses are more vulnerable to cyberattacks as cyber criminals increasingly focus their attention on the small office space and these companies are typically not as well protected as their enterprise counterparts,” said Paul Lipman, CEO of BullGuard.

Award winning cybersecurity company, BullGuard today released BullGuard Small Office Security, a new, powerful, cloud-managed endpoint security service for the small business market. BullGuard Small Office Security enables businesses to operate with the knowledge they are protected against identity and data theft, account takeover, malware such as ransomware, and other cyber threats.

BullGuard Small Office Security provides robust endpoint protection for desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones, making it perfect for mobile workforces to work safely on their devices in the office, at home, or while hot desking or traveling. Small Office Security safeguards Windows®, Android® and MacOS® devices and is backed by BullGuard’s highly acclaimed live 24/7 technical support, while endpoint security management is simple via an easy-to-use cloud-based portal.

“Cybersecurity solutions for small offices are typically complex and challenging for businesses to deploy and use because they are re-engineered from legacy enterprise solutions designed for organizations with thousands of users,” said Paul Lipman, CEO of BullGuard. “Small businesses are more vulnerable to cyberattacks as cyber criminals increasingly focus their attention on the small office space and these companies are typically not as well protected as their enterprise counterparts. BullGuard Small Office Security is designed explicitly to meet the needs of today’s small offices.”

At the heart of BullGuard Small Office Security is BullGuard’s award-winning anti-malware protection, which consistently scores very highly in independent malware detection tests. Companies that fall victim to a cyberattack often experience significant downtime that seriously impacts productivity, data privacy, and even earnings. With BullGuard Small Office Security, small office businesses are fully protected by a proprietary multi-layered behavioral engine that stops all types of malware in its tracks. It also includes endpoint-based machine learning to bolster security even further with advanced zero-day threat detection, which ensures systems are protected even when offline, and without requiring signature updates.

BullGuard Small Office Security is ideal for any small office, including those that currently use third-party companies to install and manage their endpoint cybersecurity, as well as small offices that prefer to manage their own security in-house. Set-up and deployment take just minutes, security issues can be resolved in an instant, and the service uses minimal device resources.

The BullGuard Cloud Admin Portal is designed exclusively to meet small office endpoint management requirements, providing easy and comprehensive real-time management of all devices:

●    Easy deployment: A company administrator simply emails employees from the portal and they click on a link and register without the need for any credentials to be entered. This includes fixed workstations as well as personal mobile devices (BYOD).

●    Safe mobile working: Devices are completely secured enabling employees in the field to go safely about their business. Missing devices can be located and remotely locked or wiped.

●    Remote management: BullGuard Small Office Security provides an immediate 360-degree view of device security status, which in turn enables remote actions such as applying updates, disabling, enabling and restarting devices as well as the management of quarantined files.

●    Red flags: Malware infections spread rapidly and those such as ransomware can take businesses down in seconds. An alert system provides immediate notification about security events allowing instant remedial action, ensuring the company isn’t held hostage by cyber criminals.

●    Filter out danger: Blocks malicious websites, phishing emails and browser plug-ins and extensions that are known to be dangerous, keeping the company and employees safe from harmful downloads

●    Stay ahead of remote device infections: Sometimes devices can be infected via a USB or by plugging into a computer outside of the company network. In these cases, BullGuard Small Office Security detects, blocks and notifies the administrator. It also sends an alert if a device has been offline for too long.

●    Simple employee management: When an employee leaves or joins the company the relevant computing device is simply disabled via the portal, while security for new employee devices is just as easily enabled.

●    Group settings: Many websites can hide malicious code and some IP addresses can be identified as the source of undesirable websites and server hosts. An administrator can use group settings to stop suspicious websites and server hosts from causing harm to the company network and individual endpoints.

●    Full reports: Provides complete reports on device status, threats and tasks so that nothing is overlooked

“We have made cybersecurity a less daunting challenge for small business owners, making it simple for them to stop professional cybercriminals from gaining access to their company’s data, intellectual property and funds. Now, small companies can enjoy complete endpoint protection from a trusted brand and get on with the more important task of running their business,” added Paul Lipman.

macOS Catalina orphans thousands of scanner models without 64-bit drivers


https://www.prweb.com/

VueScan

We have seen a massive increase in the number of people trying our free trial version over the past few days, VueScan lets people to continue using their scanners on Catalina, saving the environment and saving money – good on both counts. says Ed Hamrick, President of Hamrick Software.

Many vendors have chosen not to update their old software to be 64-bit or include the new code-signing which has orphaned thousands of models.

VueScan 9.7 from Hamrick Software enables macOS Catalina users to continue using their existing scanners.

Hamrick Software, the developer of VueScan – the world’s most widely used scanning software – is rapidly increasing its customer base (already above 800,000) as people are turning to VueScan to ensure their scanner still works.

Tried and trusted for 20 years, the developers at Hamrick Software have recently released VueScan 9.7, which enables Mac OS Catalina users to continue using their existing scanners.

Ed Hamrick, President of Hamrick Software, says “One of the main things that Apple has done in Catalina is remove support for running 32-bit programs. Scanners don’t wear out and people like to use their scanners for a long time, sometimes for 10 or 15 years. However, most vendor-supplied scanner drivers are 32-bit programs on Mac OS and don’t work on Catalina. VueScan lets people to continue using their scanners on Catalina, saving the environment and saving money.”

Some notable scanners that work with VueScan 9.7 and don’t work with the vendor-supplied software on Catalina are most Fujitsu ScanSnap document scanners, most Canon DR-series document scanners, many older Epson flatbed and film scanners, many older Canon scanners and most PIE and Reflecta film scanners. Support for Plustek OpticFilm film scanners on Catalina is almost ready to release and will be available in the next month.

Bob Eyler

The President’s Challenge has been the lifeblood of the Steelwheelers for the past 18 years. Without the support of the Western Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association, the Steelwheelers would probably be a distant memory.

The Western Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association (WPTLA) will host its 19th annual President’s Challenge 5K Run/Walk/Wheel benefiting the Pittsburgh Steelwheelers. The race will be held Oct. 12, 2019 at the boathouse in North Park.

The President’s Challenge is a charity 5K event benefitting the Pittsburgh Steelwheelers, an organization which provides programs for physically challenged athletes from Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and Northern West Virginia who desire to participate in competitive sports such as Quad Rugby, Wheelchair Basketball and Hand Cycling.

“The President’s Challenge has been the lifeblood of the Steelwheelers for the past 18 years. Without the support of the Western Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association, the Steelwheelers would probably be a distant memory. The WPTLA, through the President’s Challenge, has continued to allow the Steelwheelers to positively affect the lives of people with disabilities in so many ways,” said Bob Eyler, a spokesperson for the Steelwheelers. WPTLA has raised over $469,000 for the Pittsburgh Steelwheelers since 2000.

The President’s Challenge is a family friendly event professionally timed by Miles of Smiles.
