Crowley Brings New Zeutschel OS Q A1+ Scanner to North America

Leave a comment


Zeutschel OS Q1

Able to capture FADGI four-star images, the Zeutschel OS Q1 book and large format scanner is available in North America and the Caribbean only through The Crowley company.

We have over a dozen Zeutschel scanners in daily use in our Frederick [Md.] service bureau and are expecting our own OS Q delivery next week. I see this as a testament to Zeutschel products and their capture quality. We know they’re good because we use them ourselves.”


FREDERICK, Md. (PRWEB)

Zeutschel GmbH, the world’s leading manufacturer of book and large format scanners for the high-end digitization of cultural assets, recently announced the advent of their new OS Q scanner series. As of this week, the OS Q1, an A1+-size scanner, has been released to market and will be carried exclusively in North America and the Caribbean by The Crowley Company (Crowley).

The OS Q1, with a scan area of 924 mm x 700 mm (approximately 36” x 27”), is the first release in the OS Q series. Designed to scan bound and flat material in compliance with the highest imaging standards (currently FADGI four-star in the U.S.), the OS Q1 also boasts fast scan times for increased operator productivity.

SETTING THE PACE FOR THE FUTURE OF DIGITIZATION

“One of the many reasons that our relationship with Zeutschel has stood a 20-plus-year test of time,” notes The Crowley Company president, Patrick Crowley, “is their rich understanding of the cultural heritage market in which we are deeply steeped. Zeutschel continues to innovate digitization products that meet the challenges faced by traditional and digital archivists, historians, librarians and others entrusted with archive collections and records management. The OS Q1 – and released earlier this year, the ScanStudio – are just the latest examples of Zeutschel’s advances in front-end capture.”

Adds Matthew McCabe, Crowley vice president of sales and marketing, “Just a little over ten years ago, NARA [The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration] put out a quote request with requirements for a scanner that didn’t yet exist. Zeutschel answered the call and, working together with Crowley, designed and manufactured the OS 14000-series scanners to meet those requirements. The 14000’s were groundbreaking for their capture size, detailed but intuitive software and high image quality.”

Today, the Zeutschel OS 14000 large format scanners are a staple in prestigious archives and universities worldwide.

McCabe continues, “There has been a tidal wave of change in digitization technology and preservation standards over the past decade. This has forced those competitive in the capture industry to pair their expertise with their crystal balls and to design for the future. Once again Zeutschel exceeds expectations with the OS Q scanner series.”

Not only has digital technology evolved, says Crowley, so has the demand for access to digital archives.

“We live in a world that is now accustomed to instant information. Digitally archiving the world’s treasures – in all their media forms – is increasingly a ‘must’ versus a luxury. It’s a double-edged sword for archivists who are tasked with the preservation of the originals and the digital copies. As a partner who provides both scanners and scanning services, it’s imperative that Crowley leads the way in equipping archivists with digitization offerings that can build digital collections viable for the long term.”

Crowley expands: “In our own conversion services division we’re seeing imaging requirements such as FADGI become the norm instead of the exception. This standardization of digital image quality, predicated on the image end-use, ensures that digital archives have the best chance to stand the test of time as true archive representatives. We have over a dozen Zeutschel scanners in daily use in our Frederick [Md.] service bureau and are expecting our own OS Q delivery next week. I see this as a testament to Zeutschel products and their capture quality. We know they’re good because we use them ourselves.”

Wolf-Christopher Gramatte, Zeutschel’s head of international sales, recognizes the value of this unique partnership. “I’ve personally worked with The Crowley Company for more than ten years. In that time, they have impressed me as always having the best interests of their customers at the forefront. Whether it’s working with a manufacturer on developing creative solutions to specific client challenges or – on a broader scale – to help understand the needs of their unique markets, the goal is always to offer the best option for digitization. In this way, we push each other; the market is better for it, I think.”

October 16th Webinar Focuses on How Hormonal Havoc Sabotages Weight Loss

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

Mary Shomon / New York Times Bestselling Author of Thyroid Diet Revolution

I battled my own hormonal havoc for two decades. But now at 57, I weigh 50 pounds less than I did in my thirties. I’m proof that it IS possible—but first, you have to deal with the root cause of the problem. And for many women, that means our hormones!


WASHINGTON (PRWEB)

Best-selling author and patient advocate Mary Shomon has announced an upcoming webinar, “Is Hormonal Havoc Making Your Weight Loss Impossible?”

The webinar will be held on Wednesday, October 16, 2019 at 8 p.m. EDT, and focuses on imbalances in key hormonal areas — insulin, thyroid, adrenals, sex hormones, and hunger/satiety hormones — that derail women’s weight loss and can sabotage even the best and most stringent diets–as well as approaches to get back in balance and successfully lose weight..

“Hormonal havoc can strike at any age, but it’s more common after pregnancy and after age 40,” says Shomon. “Many women get frustrated and give up after they learn — the hard way — that cutting calories and exercising aren’t working for them. Even when a woman gets her doctor involved, the doctor usually runs a few tests and says that her hormones are ‘normal.’ Sadly, more often than not, those hormones are anything but normal, and are the reason why she can’t lose weight.”

Shomon’s Hormonal Havoc Webinar does a deep dive into hormonal issues and their impact on weight and metabolism, focusing on a crucial issue: the difference between “normal” hormone levels and “optimal” levels for weight loss. During the webinar, Shomon will review the risks, signs, and symptoms for the key hormone groups, and provide practical tips on how to balance and optimize hormones for weight loss success. The webinar also brings up the key role of hormones in fat storage, fat burning, hunger, satisfaction, and energy levels.

Says Shomon, “I battled my own hormonal havoc for two decades. But now at 57, I weigh 50 pounds less than I did in my thirties. I’m proof that it IS possible—but first, you have to deal with the root cause of the problem. And for many women, that means our hormones!”

THE HORMONAL HAVOC WEBINAR DETAILS

DATE: Wednesday, October 16, 2019

TIME: 8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time

COST: There is no charge for the Hormonal Havoc Webinar, but advance registration is required to attend.

REGISTER: For more details about the webinar, and to register, go to http://www.mary-shomon.com/havoc.

A replay of the webinar will be available for registered participants who are unable to view it live on October 16th.

Registered webinar participants will also receive a gift: a copy of Shomon’s new “Hormonal Havoc Guide.” This ebook provides a detailed checklist of hormonal symptoms, helping readers pinpoint areas of hormonal imbalance, as well as recommended tests for each category of hormone imbalances.

ABOUT MARY SHOMON

Mary Shomon is an internationally renowned patient advocate, health and weight loss coach, and author of the New York Times best-selling book, Thyroid Diet Revolution, as well as 10 other popular books on hormonal health and wellness.

For two decades, Shomon was a Patient Expert for IAC’s Verywell Health (formerly About.com) and she currently serves as a Patient Expert and member of the Patient Advisory Council for popular consumer health site HealthCentral.com.

Silent Beacon Partners with My Sister’s Place to Stand Against Domestic Violence

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

Silent Beacon & My Sister’s Place Partnership

Silent Beacon will provide another layer of support to our comprehensive services enabling survivors to get the immediate help they need to remain safe now and into the future.” -Quincy Inman, Development & Communications Manager at My Sister’s Place


ROCKVILLE, Md. (PRWEB)

Washington, D.C.’s oldest domestic violence shelter My Sister’s Place, is adopting stealthy new technology that enables abuse victims to receive immediate help in life-threatening situations. Survivors will be given a FREE wearable panic-button device to alert their safety network of an emergency.

In homage to Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Silent Beacon will be donating wearable panic-button devices to every survivor at My Sister’s Place. The Sanctuary Plus emergency shelter and the RISE (Reaching Independence through Survivor Empowerment) Program help families fleeing from domestic violence move from crisis and homelessness to safety and stability.

“Everyone deserves dignity and safety in their relationships, but people at risk of intimate partner violence especially need tools and support,” said Silent Beacon founder and CEO Kenny Kelley. “Silent Beacon equips people to summon help, and we’re honored to serve victims and survivors by partnering with My Sister’s Place not only during Domestic Violence Awareness Month but throughout the year.”

Silent Beacon is the perfect way to empower at-risk individuals:


  • One Press of a Button:

  • Calls 911 or any other emergency contact of your choice

  • Texts and emails your loved ones that you need help

  • Shares your live GPS location with pre-programmed contacts

  • Silent Mode: Prevents the attacker from knowing an emergency call has been placed. When in silent mode, the emergency contact can hear what is happening through Silent Beacon’s microphone, but the attacker will not be able to hear the emergency contact. This allows the victim to call for help without further enraging the perpetrator.

  • Small & Easily Concealed: Often, the first thing an abuser does is separate a victim from their cell phone so they can’t call for help. That’s why there’s a need for an easily concealed panic-button to summon first responders and loved ones with one press.

  • Every Second Counts: Dialing 911 from a cell phone can take up to 28 seconds. In an emergency, Silent Beacon allows users to call for help and alert loved ones in 1 second.

  • Easily Connected & Customizable: Silent Beacon connects to smartphones, tablets and other compatible Bluetooth® devices, and can be customized to alert a victim’s case manager, emergency shelter and loved ones.

  • No Monthly Fees: Because Silent Beacon is Bluetooth® compatible, the device has no monthly fees or added costs.

The collaboration between My Sister’s Place and Silent Beacon is instrumental in helping victims protect themselves. “At the root of all survivors of domestic violence needs, there lies one similar thread – the critical need for safety,” said Quincy Inman, My Sister’s Place’s Development and Communications Manager. “Silent Beacon will provide another layer of support to our comprehensive services enabling survivors to get the immediate help they need to remain safe now and into the future. I am incredibly grateful for the compassion of the leadership of Silent Beacon.”

Given the scope of the domestic violence problem, Silent Beacon’s technology would be helpful nationwide. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports:

  • About 1 in 4 women and nearly 1 in 10 men have experienced contact sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner during their lifetime and reported some form of IPV-related impact.

  • Over 43 million women and 38 million men experienced psychological aggression by an intimate partner in their lifetime.

About Silent Beacon

Silent Beacon, LLC, was founded in 2013 with a vision of providing immediate assistance to those in need by enabling its users to instantly locate family members and loved ones requiring emergency assistance. Its 24/7 Customer Support Center is ready to answer questions, listen to feedback, and help customers get their device and associated app up and running. Visit http://www.silentbeacon.com.

About My Sister’s Place

My Sister’s Place (MSP) seeks to end domestic violence and empower survivors to live healthy, independent lives free from violence. For over 40 years, MSP has been an innovator in changing lives by providing DC’s first hotline and first domestic violence shelter, and most recently, first Batterer Intervention group.

BHIP Takes Aim at Teenagers’ Stress, Anxiety, Executive Function, Interpersonal Skills, and Overall Mental Health

Leave a comment


News Image

The ability to deliver an efficient youth mental health program within societies’ health care constraints, yet also provide evidence that this program is effective, means a powerful intervention and big step forward in prevention science.


ROCKVILLE, Md. (PRWEB)

As World Mental Health Day 2019 dawns this Thursday, October 10th, groups of Montgomery County middle school and high school students have improved neuro-cognitive executive skills to enhance learning and academics, are better able to handle stressors, utilize relaxation techniques and physical fitness, and apply lifelong social/interpersonal, leadership, problem-solving and coping skills, due to an innovative program called BHIP: Biopsychosocial Health Intervention and Prevention. Timely research conducted at the Pediatric Psychology Center, Rockville, Maryland shows that BHIP’s comprehensive health program significantly improves numerous areas of adolescents’ functioning.

Developed by Principal Investigator and Clinical Psychologist Dr. Kim Burgess, Ph.D., BHIP’s programs were offered during transition periods of middle school and high school when children are adjusting to many challenges and changes in school environments. For example, freshmen face not only the more rigorous academic and athletic requirements of school, but also friendship and social concerns, social media stressors like cyber bullying, and peer pressure related to drugs and alcohol.

Collaborating with Co-PIs and Professors Paul Hastings, Ph.D. and Julie Bowker Ph.D. to test BHIP’s effectiveness utilizing pre- to post self-assessments, they achieved significant positive changes in a range of areas:

  • Neurocognitive executive functioning – improved impulse/ self-control and metacognition, which help self-regulation and problem solving;

  • Social/interpersonal skills with peers/friends, parents, teachers and coaches, including higher levels of communication, cooperation, empathy, self-control, and being responsible;

  • Social media knowledge and appropriate use;

  • Emotion regulation, including improved ability to change emotional response to situations by reinterpreting and reappraisal, so they can cope better with adversity;

  • Physiological responses indicating that they may have become more attentive to emotional situations.


Notably, parents on average reported that their children showed:

  • More responsibility;

  • Improved interpersonal/social skills including communication, cooperation, empathy, and self-control;

  • Reduced behavioral and conduct problems;

  • Lower total problems (for example, with inattention, anxious/depressive symptoms, bullying others)


The ability to deliver an efficient youth mental health program within societies’ health care constraints, yet also provide evidence that this program is effective, means a powerful intervention and big step forward in prevention science.

About BHIP

BHIP (Biopsychosocial Health Intervention and Prevention) was created and developed by Dr. Kim Burgess, Ph.D. Co-Principal Investigators are Professors Paul Hastings Ph.D. (UC-Davis) and Julie Bowker Ph.D. (SUNY-Buffalo). This cutting-edge course helps middle and high schoolers to handle stressors and learn lifelong skills that will ease their transition through the most challenging and stressful times of their development. BHIP’s mission is to intervene and prevent kids from experiencing unhealthy levels of stress, anxiety, frustration, mood changes, loneliness, and struggling or becoming overwhelmed with their academic and social lives.

Find Out The Main Reasons Why Drivers Should Carry Car Insurance

Leave a comment


News Image

“Car insurance was designed to ensure that drivers are able to pay for their wrongdoings. You should buy car insurance if you want financial protection and peace of mind,” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Car insurance is considered by many just another costly, useless investment. But the true benefits of being covered will be revealed when the policyholder is involved in an accident and has to file a claim. To find out more about auto insurance, visit https://autocarinsurancebest.com/why-should-you-buy-car-insurance/. Drivers can also get quotes and compare prices on that website.


  • Car insurance is mandatory. Each state, except New Hampshire, requires drivers to carry car insurance. Not assuming financial responsibility is punishable by law, if caught driving uninsured. .

  • Car insurance will protect drivers from costly lawsuits. If a driver causes an accident and he does not have auto insurance, he will pay the victims from his own budget. The costs resulting from an accidents usually range between several thousands of dollars to several tens of thousands of dollars. Even more, if the damaged car was a luxury one or the victims sustained serious injuries. .

  • Collision car insurance will automatically reimburse the policyholder. Collision car insurance will help the policyholder get sufficient money for car repairs or even replacements. This policy can be used no matter if the policyholder is the at-fault driver or not.

  • Car insurance is required by lienholders. In order to secure their investment, lienholders require the buyer to carry full coverage. When the car is totally paid, the owner can drop full coverage and keep only the state minimum, plus any other personal choices.
