Leave a comment



STERLING, Mass. (PRWEB)

ES Components (Eastern States Components, LLC), a niche distributor and manufacturer of microelectronic components for Military/Aerospace and High Reliability markets, today announced full certification by Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (“DLA”) for MIL-PRF-38535 Class Q specification, QML-38535 listing and laboratory suitability compliance to MIL-STD-883 test standards for producing monolithic integrated circuits.

Prior to receiving this certification, ES Components was limited to only distributing the military MIL-PRF-38535 compliant (/883, 5962- or 38510- in part numbers) and commercial Analog Switches/Multiplexers produced by Vishay Siliconix. Following ES Components’ acquisition of these devices from Vishay (https://www.escomponents.com/siliconix-military3) and certification by DLA, ES Components is now authorized to build and support new compliant products that will be marked with the “ESC” brand. This entails using the Vishay Siliconix Analog Switch and Multiplexer die, wafers, documentation and manufacturing equipment purchased in the acquisition. ES Components manages assembly and test of these devices through facilities with approved DLA lab suitability such as VPT Components “VPT”, a division of SST Components, Inc. (“SST”) in Billerica, MA and Microchip Technology (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (“MMT”). With this certification, ES Components can now provide MIL-PRF-38535 compliant products in addition to MIL-PRF-19500 JAN/TX/TXV products, previously announced.

“We are very pleased to have reached this significant milestone in becoming 38535 certified with DLA and producing ESC brand of compliant products in continued support of our military customers’ demand for Siliconix Analog switches and multiplexers. We had already established continued production of 19500 Siliconix JFETs and MOSFETs with DLA, and this certification completes the transition of all the Vishay Siliconix military and commercial hermetic products to ES Components,” said Don Larson, Product Manager at ES Components.

“We are fortunate to have partnered with excellent subcontractors that are DLA approved and we look forward to expanding our business with them. ES Components has been a well-known distributor for many years and we need to let our customers know that we are also a manufacturer with excellent capabilities to provide ongoing JAN and /883 products, as well DMSMS/obsolescence turnkey solutions” (https://www.escomponents.com/hardtofind-dmsms-products2) said Michelle Aubrey President of ES Components.

Leave a comment



ATLANTA (PRWEB)

Trella Health, the leading source for post-acute, acute, and ambulatory care outcomes data and performance analytics, announced it has been named one of Modern Healthcare’s Best Places to Work in Healthcare for 2019. Trella was ranked No. 19 in the healthcare suppliers category. The complete list of this year’s rankings is available at https://cutt.ly/9eyGR91.

“We are honored to be included in this esteemed list of healthcare organizations,” said Ian Juliano, CEO of Trella Health. “Every day our incredible employees exemplify our core values of care, ownership, drive, and innovation as we empower customers to grow their businesses and deliver excellent patient care.

Accident Forgiveness Will Help Drivers Save Money On Car Insurance

Leave a comment


News Image

“In order to be protected from a premium increase after an at-fault accident, drivers can acquire accident forgiveness. This option is ideal for safe drivers that rarely cause an accident”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Carinsuranceplan.org has launched a new blog post that explains how accident forgiveness can help drivers save car insurance money.

For more info and free quotes, please visit https://carinsuranceplan.org/what-is-accident-forgiveness-and-how-it-can-help-you-save-car-insurance-money/

Accident forgiveness is an option that will forgive one at-fault accident of the policyholder. Drivers that have this option active in their insurance policy, will be protected from a premium increase in case they are at-fault in a car accident. Although the premiums will stay the same, the at-fault incident will still appear in the driving records.

Before acquiring accident forgiveness, drivers should know the following:


  • It has limited availability. This option is not offered by all car insurance companies. Besides that, in some states, accident forgiveness is forbidden by local legislation. Drivers that want this option, should contact their providers and check if it’s available in the state they live and how they can obtain it.

  • It varies from one insurer to another. Some insurance providers will offer this option for free to their new customers or to the customers that decide to renew their insurance policies. However, other insurers will sell this option for a monthly fee. In all cases, drivers that are at-fault in a DUI accident are excluded from this option.

  • It can forgive multiple at-fault accidents. The majority of car insurance providers are offering an accident forgiveness option where one at-fault accident is forgiven. Some insurers can offer options where multiple at-fault accidents can be forgiven.

  • Drivers can avoid a penalty. For drivers, it would be ideal to not get involved in car accidents. However, a driver gets involved in a car accident once every 17.9 years. It can happen to anyone. Even if someone considers to be the safest drivers on the road, it can only take a few moments for an accident to happen. The good thing about accident forgiveness is that the driver is not penalized for that moment.

  • Disadvantages. Accident forgiveness does have some disadvantages. One disadvantage is the fact that the program is not free for everyone, and some insurers will ask for a monthly fee. Another disadvantage is that the driving record will stay the same even if the insurer forgave the driver. In this case, drivers that switch their insurers will be penalized from the beginning because of that at-fault accident. Lastly, in some cases, accident forgiveness can be completely useless for drivers that cause severe accidents. In these cases, the insurers might decide to drop the policyholder.

Golden Corral Announces New Units

Leave a comment



RALEIGH, N.C. (PRWEB)

Golden Corral, the nation’s largest grill-buffet chain, is leveraging its increased brand awareness with an aggressive growth strategy to rapidly expand into new territories across the country.

The brand started as a single restaurant in Fayetteville, North Carolina, in 1973, and has experienced steady growth throughout its long history. Golden Corral is the industry leader in the buffet category and currently has nearly 500 restaurants operating in 41 states nationwide, with more to come over the next several years.

Later this year, Golden Corral will open its first location in New York City, with a restaurant in the Bronx, and it is looking to bring the concept to additional areas throughout the tri-state market. In the first half of 2019, the company signed agreements with a mix of new and current franchisees to open an additional 13 restaurants across the country in the coming years. One of the agreements is for a new location in Manchester, New Hampshire, which will be the first Golden Corral in that state. This follows the company’s success in recent years with its expansion into California and other new territories on the west coast.

Road to Expansion:


  • Golden Corral has created inroads in these newer markets in the northeast and the west coast through increased brand awareness from a decade of national television advertising. Viewers across the country are exposed to the brand’s new national campaign, The Only One for Everyone. It focuses on customers coming together at one place where everyone gets a home-cooked meal at a great price.

  • The brand has been adding new locations throughout the U.S., including the states of New York and California. While other franchises have shied away from these challenges, Golden Corral has capitalized on its momentum to break into these regions and flourish. The company opened its first restaurant in California in 2012 and now has more than 20 locations in the Golden State. The state of New York is home to seven locations, with the first New York City Golden Corral restaurant opening soon.

  • The family favorite dinner choices will remain the same, but the look of Golden Corral is changing. The company’s new prototype building, the Gateway, features a contemporary appearance with oversized windows, stacked fireplaces, redesigned buffet service areas, and multiple seating zones to give customers a more relaxed dining experience.

  • Golden Corral is also exploring new opportunities in different venues, such as in-line retail shopping centers, conversion of existing buildings, and malls. The first Golden Corral mall location opened earlier this year in Puyallup, Washington.

“The growth of Golden Corral is a testament to stable leadership, with only three CEOs in 46 years. The brand was founded with a commitment to providing abundance and variety at a reasonable price,” said Van Ingram, Golden Corral’s Vice President of Franchise Development. “Today guests are still hungry for Golden Corral’s unique home-style cooking favorites, and entrepreneurs are jumping on the franchise opportunity to bring Golden Corral’s famous buffet experience to their communities.”

About Golden Corral:

Golden Corral, based in Raleigh, N.C., is the nation’s largest grill-buffet restaurant chain with 491 restaurants operating in 41 states as of August 2019. Golden Corral is famous for its variety, including USDA steaks cooked to order, smoked meats, savory pot roast, hot yeast rolls, and desserts like homemade carrot cake and the Chocolate Wonderfall®.

Cancer Hope Network honors longtime volunteers Lori Roth and Randy Cohen

Leave a comment


Randy Cohen and Lori Roth - Spirit of Hope honorees

“Cancer can consume you. It takes over your life. It’s a helpless feeling…To see an organization that was helping people who aren’t as fortunate as we are…how could we not be involved?” – Lori Roth, volunteer, Spirit of Hope honoree


CHESTER, N.J. (PRWEB)

For 15 years, they’ve volunteered at nearly every Chrysalis Gala that Cancer Hope Network has hosted. Now, they’re being recognized as the Spirit of Hope honorees for 2019. The event will be held Saturday, November 2 at the Westminster Hotel in Livingston, NJ.

They’re Lori Roth (Prager Metis, CPAs) and Randy Cohen (Torcon, Inc.).

Randy and Lori were drawn to CHN by chance. Randy’s sister Wendy started work at CHN and recruited them to serve as volunteers at our Chrysalis Gala in 2004. Nearly two decades later, their tireless work on behalf of adults facing cancer is still creating hope for patients across the nation.

“The gala is a fantastic event that brings together so many people and so many resources to help provide for what Cancer Hope does for the whole year,” Lori says with characteristic modesty. “It’s one of the biggest fundraisers of the year and I feel like it’s the wind beneath their sails. It’s also a perfect way for me to help. Maybe I can’t do all the things that other volunteers in the organization do, but I can help them to fund their work. Randy and I are pleased to do whatever we can to make sure that all the people that are doing good can do that good.”

“Lori and Randy have been some of CHN’s staunchest supporters through the years,” says Executive Director Cynthia Gutierrez Bernstein. “Their passion for CHN and their dedication to providing support and encouragement to people facing cancer is nothing short of inspiring. We are enormously grateful for their generosity, dedication and unwavering commitment.”

That commitment was born of personal pain. “Cancer has been a big part of our life,” Lori says. “When Wendy first came to Cancer Hope and we first began volunteering, Randy’s mother was experiencing a cancer recurrence and she passed away soon after. I had lost my father 1996 to multiple myeloma when he was 61.”

Randy has successfully completed treatment and surgery for high grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma. He’s begun the process to become a CHN Support Volunteer.

What might have caused others to run from reminders of painful times has inspired Randy and Lori to marshal their time, treasure and relationships on behalf of others.

“Cancer can consume you. It takes over your life. It’s a helpless feeling,” Lori says thoughtfully. “Despite our painful losses, we always knew that we’d done everything we could for my dad and Randy’s mom. To see an organization that was helping people who aren’t as fortunate as we are….how could we not be involved?”

It’s an outlook the two share. Lori vividly remembers Randy looking at her as he was going through treatment, saying “I know that this sounds crazy but I feel lucky. I’m lucky I have you, that we have the doctors we have and thankful that we were able to lead our lives in the way we wanted to.”

“Through the years, we’ve heard the stories of so many patients who were helped by a match with a Support Volunteer,” Randy recalls. “Wanda (Diak, former Executive Director, current Support Volunteer) has always been fantastic. At last year’s gala, when Diane Bongiorno shared her own cancer journey I was just beginning mine. I knew I had a mass and had a biopsy scheduled, but hadn’t been officially diagnosed. The work the gala makes possible was even more personal, more meaningful. We were in tears.”

While in treatment, Randy discovered that he has a hereditary genetic mutation called Lynch Syndrome. Rather than bemoan his fate, he’s lept into action with the same, nurturing, giving, “how can I help others” energy that he brings to his volunteerism. Their whole family has been tested and he and Lori have become champions for awareness and testing.

“It’s not about what happens to you,” Randy says. “It’s about how you react to what happens. CHN can help make how you deal and how you react, a positive thing. You’re going through something difficult and trying to do what you can to find the positive.”

“There’s not a lot of tools in the box that can help you do that,” Lori agrees. “Cancer Hope Network helps you realize that you’re not alone, that there are other people with you. Cancer doesn’t come with instructions. People don’t even know what they need to ask for. That’s what makes spreading the word and helping people find out that they can come to CHN and get help is so very important.”

To learn more about the event, or to schedule an event with Roth and Cohen, contact Sarah Miretti Cassidy, CHN Director of External Affairs at 908.879.4039/scassidy@cancerhopenetwork.org.

About Cancer Hope Network

Cancer Hope Network provides free one-on-one emotional peer support to adult cancer patients and their loved ones. Each of CHN’s 400+ volunteers is at least one year post-treatment or successfully undergoing maintenance therapies. They have faced more than 80 cancer types and speak 15 languages. Our volunteers offer support from diagnosis, through treatment and into recovery. Cancer Hope Network serves cancer patients in the United States and Canada.

World Wide Stereo Celebrates 40th Anniversary

Leave a comment


we’ve done well by doing good.


HATFIELD, Pa. (PRWEB)

World Wide Stereo once again proves Newton’s first law (“an object in motion tends to stay in motion”) with another winning year and a 40th anniversary that, considering the fate of so many family-owned small businesses, represents a remarkable run.

To celebrate, the company and its 100+ employees are planning a number of private and public events, sales and special promotions through the end of 2019. Playful throwback nuggets will be sprinkled throughout World Wide Stereo’s website, branding, and social media, including a timeline that takes users back to how the company came to be and how it got to where it is today: “from Ziggy to Gaga and boomboxes to Bluetooth”.

Founder, former-CE Pro President, and recent Consumer Technology Hall of-Fame inductee Bob Cole points to the company’s long-held mantra as the primary reason for the company’s continued success: “we’ve done well by doing good.“ Indeed, after opening the doors in 1979, Bob and his first two employees – wife Karen and long-time partner Ron Rumer – went from 8-track tape players and Atari to million dollar home theaters and whole house smart home integration – while keeping their promise to help kids at every opportunity. To wit: World Wide Stereo equips and installs the latest home entertainment technology in both St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children and Philadelphia’s own Ronald McDonald House.

These days, the company has expanded its reach via a national e-commerce site, which continues to grow at an exponential rate, and a 13,500 square foot distribution center in Hatfield, PA. World Wide Stereo customers can shop the store through the company’s website (http://www.worldwidestereo.com) and/or catch up on the latest in home entertainment news and product reviews on its YouTube channel, and best-in-class Gear Guides.

The flagship store (or “Bob and Ron’s” as the locals like to call it) on Route 309 in Montgomeryville remains a long-standing Philadelphia-area institution, and the recently remodeled store in Ardmore, PA serves the city’s well-to-do Main Line neighborhoods. The stores were awarded the coveted “2019 Best of Philly” recognition in Philadelphia Magazine’s 46th annual “Best of Philly” awards (http://www.phillymag.com), recognizing a curated list of distinguished businesses, people, and events in varied categories, from food and wellness to shopping and entertainment. Within the Shopping and Style category, World Wide Stereo was recognized as the“best”– leading in cutting edge technology citing: “Outdoor flat-screens, lights controlled from your master-bath mirror, and a home theater that will make Spike Lee jealous”. A fabulous way to kick off a 40th birthday celebration!

About World Wide Stereo: Now celebrating its 40th anniversary, World Wide Stereo is one of the nation’s leaders in audio and video consumer electronics and offers an award-winning residential technology integration firm, two premium showrooms in the Philadelphia area, and an online e-commerce experience at http://www.worldwidestereo.com with 60-day returns and free shipping on all orders.
