Yamaha THR-II Series Expands the Desktop Amp Concept with More Sounds and a Rich Wireless Experience


https://www.prweb.com/

THR30II Wireless

Yamaha has introduced the THR-II series, comprising the THR10II, THR10II Wireless, and THR30II Wireless desktop guitar amplifiers. Upon the introduction of the original THR series in 2011, Yamaha established the desktop amp as an entirely new category of guitar amplifier. Neither a performance amp nor strictly a practice amp, THR represented a third amp category offering guitarists features they need when they aren’t on stage or rehearsing, in addition to exceptional sound and responsiveness at any volume.

The THR-II series expands upon this concept by delivering three times as many realistically modeled tube-amp sounds as the original THR10, new wireless features, more power, and a refreshed, stylish design that complements any home décor. The THR30II Wireless also includes stereo ¼” line outputs for additional flexibility.

THR-II amplifiers employ Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) technology to deliver the tone, feel, and expressive nuances characteristic of boutique tube amplifiers. The new amps provide 15 different amp tones, three modeled microphone sounds for acoustic-electric guitars, three bass amp models, and three flat voicings for use with other instruments.

Stompbox-style modulation effects and studio-quality reverbs and delays allow players to further enhance their tones. Stereo reverbs and audio playback utilize Extended Stereo Technology (EST), resulting in a more immersive listening experience than standard stereo. A specially-designed speaker enclosure was optimized by the award-winning Yamaha Audio Visual Division to handle both amplified guitar tones and audio playback with hi-fi sound quality.

All three THR-II desktop amplifiers provide Bluetooth support for audio playback and more. The THR30II Wireless and THR10II Wireless also feature a built-in rechargeable battery and an integrated wireless receiver which, when combined with an optional Line 6® Relay® G10T transmitter, offer players a fully cable-free experience. There’s also a USB port for direct recording and playback, and THR amps come bundled with Steinberg software for desktop and mobile recording. The free Yamaha THR Remote editor/librarian app is compatible with Mac®, PC, and mobile devices.

The new Yamaha THR-II desktop amplifiers provide players of all types with a perfect combination of professional-quality tones, convenient wireless operation, and stylish good looks — whether they are practicing, recording, or playing along with their favorite music.

Pricing and Availability

Yamaha THR-II amplifiers will be available soon from your favorite Yamaha dealer.

  • THR30II Wireless: $790.00 (MSRP)
  • THR10II Wireless: $710.00 (MSRP)
  • THR10II: $465.00 (MSRP)

TGA Premier Sports Expands into 76th U.S. Market with new chapter on California’s Central Coast


https://www.prweb.com/

Through TGA’s dynamic curriculum, we will incorporate station-based athletic skill development activities, STEAM Labs to explore educational concepts through sports, and key life lessons

TGA Premier Sports (TGA), the leading force introducing youth sports into schools and communities through programs that combine athletics and academics, continues its nationwide expansion into its 76th U.S. market, California’s Central Coast. On pace to enroll its one-millionth participant by 2020, TGA’s youth sports “delivery system” is helping strengthen families and communities and reverse trends of declining youth sports participation in cities across the country leading to healthier lifestyles.

TGA’s sustainable, scalable model of before- and after-school enrichment programs and local sports camps has become one of the nation’s most impactful developers of community-based sports programs for kids ages five to 13.

TGA Premier Sports Central Coast in Ventura County, Calif. was launched by Kristin Hatfield, a local executive, inventor, entrepreneur, working mom of two kids and lifelong athlete, as a way to give back to the community that helped shaped her passion for sports and its many rewards.

Hatfield, who holds a Bachelor of Science in Business and Economics degree from Humboldt State University, has been the owner and operator of a river rafting company, an environmental consultant, a regional sales manager in the medical billing industry and vice president of sales in convention services. She is also owner and inventor of EquiptBaby, creator of the Comfy Canopy, a collapsible, portable bassinet that weighs less than an ounce.

Having seen the impact and successful engagement TGA has had in other communities, Hatfield recently decided it was her time to give back. “TGA is a community of people who are giving back to our youth in our local communities. I want to show up and be there with the children,” she says. “I want to be the first person who puts a golf club or tennis racquet in a child’s hands or teaches them to dig a volleyball. I want TGA programs to be the best part of their day. The feeling of accomplishment through sports has no comparison!”

TGA Premier Sports Central Coast offers TGA Premier Golf, Tennis, Ultimate and Volleyball and will also be the first TGA Chapter to offer a Beach Volleyball curriculum. “This past summer, with the support of my local beach HOA, I did a soft opening for TGA Central Coast and hosted a Beach Volleyball camp. The TGA volleyball curriculum is awesome and I just made some slight tweaks to incorporate the sand. The diving drill was the kids’ favorite along with serving into the target for points,” Hatfield says.

Hatfield’s territory includes the coastal communities in Ventura County. “We’re coordinating with Los Olivios Golf Course and the School’s PTA to organize a fundraiser that incorporates families playing golf together and raises funds for the PTA at local schools in the Ventura Unified School District,” she says. The chapter will also be hosting its first Fall Break Tennis Camp on the courts of a local high school in October.

With Hatfield’s new franchise, thousands of youngsters will be impacted in and around California’s Central Coast. “When children engage in sports, they begin to build and nurture skills that allow them to strive to become our future leaders. Through TGA’s dynamic curriculum, we will incorporate station-based athletic skill development activities, STEAM Labs to explore educational concepts through sports, and key life lessons including teamwork, sportsmanship, perseverance, and leadership,” she adds.

TGA impacts communities by introducing sports that empower kids directly into schools and community centers through before- or after-school enrichment programs, spurring participation in a way that starts at the grassroots level but has national implications.

“Kristin Hatfield has incredible enthusiasm for her community, sports and how together they can change the lives of youth and families,” says TGA CEO Joshua Jacobs. “Using TGA’s blueprint will allow her to customize the local experience families will get through TGA programs. On the coast, beach volleyball is in the fabric of the culture, so it’s a natural that Kristin would take this new program offering and run with it. She’s going to be an amazing asset to the families in her community.”

TGA creates an accessible player pathway for students and their families to build on their new-found sports passion and advance further in the sports. From introductory programs, to recreational camps, clinics and family programs, engagement in these programs can lead to juniors playing on high school and college teams. With registration fees at less than $200, TGA’s six-week enrichment programs are also extremely affordable for families interested in starting their kids in a sports program.

TGA provides all of the equipment for kids at no cost in the program, including its own line of custom golf and tennis equipment to provide all players an affordable option to get into the sport. The program can also be utilized anywhere on school campuses regardless of weather, including gymnasiums, hallways, cafeterias, fields and blacktops.

Through donations that funds scholarships, the TGA Sports Foundation is enabling kids who wouldn’t otherwise take up the sport to learn and grow from it. “Our goal is to impact the development of a child’s sports career throughout all levels of the player pathway,” Jacobs says. “Introducing youth to sports and creating a passion is one thing, but engaging a child who exhibits talents and giving them the tools to grow continue on with a sport is more important.”

Families and schools nationwide have embraced the TGA model and its programs because it creates a healthier and safer environment for students at schools and community centers. The school-based curriculum includes tennis skill progression, education subjects and STEM/STEAM Labs, in addition to physical fitness and health components.

COMPLIANCY GROUP Colors HIPAA Seal of Compliance™ Pink for Breast Cancer


HIPAA Breast Cancer Awareness

Laura Neidig, HIPAA subject matter expert at Compliancy Group states, “I’m so proud to be part of a company that acknowledges a cause that we’ve all been affected by in one way or another”

COMPLIANCY GROUP is deeply entrenched in the healthcare industry, helping healthcare organizations achieve HIPAA compliance, in turn helping their patients. Breast cancer is a terrible disease that affects so many people, as such Compliancy Group recognizes the need to spread awareness to further help patients.

This October, Compliancy Group is proud to participate in National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer is one of the most common kinds of cancer in women after skin cancer. About 1 in 8 women born today in the United States will get breast cancer at some point.

Laura Neidig, HIPAA subject matter expert at Compliancy Group states, “I’m so proud to be part of a company that acknowledges a cause that we’ve all been affected by in one way or another”

The good news is that most women can survive breast cancer if it’s found and treated early.

If you are a woman age 40 to 49, talk with your doctor about when to start getting mammograms and how often to get them.

If you are a woman age 50 to 74, be sure to get a mammogram every 2 years. You may also choose to get them more often.

Talk to a doctor about your risk for breast cancer, especially if a close family member of yours had breast or ovarian cancer. Your doctor can help you decide when and how often to get mammograms.

Compliancy group’s Seal of Compliance will be colored pink for the month of October; the Seal validates and verifies an organization’s “good faith effort” towards HIPAA compliance. A portion of proceeds for the month of October will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.

Find Out If You Should Drop The Current Car Insurance Provider


News Image

“Drivers must change their insurance providers if they feel they are mistreated or pay more than they should,” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com has released a new blog post that presents the main reasons why a person should consider changing their current car insurance company.

For more info and free car insurance quotes online, visit http://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com/should-you-drop-your-current-car-insurance-provider/

When signing a contract, a client expects professional services, to be respected and to have fair rates. When any of those requirements are not met, the client should look for better options.

Customer services must treat each case with care and utmost attention. Dealing with a rude or unresponsive customer support service is really upsetting. And it is a solid reason for switching carriers. If the claim is processed really slow, it is time to look for a better company. Make sure to read customer testimonials before making a change.

Inexplicable rate increases are a major concern for many drivers. Before dropping the current carrier, inquire about the price increase. A reliable company should be able to motivate their premiums. A driver with clean records, no claims and always paying the premiums on time usually gets better rates. Be aware that some companies use “price optimization” and charge their clients more with each renewal. They expect that some loyal customers will not check the market periodically.

Expert Crystal Report Writer Reports ‘Using Your Data To Improve Customer Relations’


expert Crystal Report Writer

An often-overlooked concept is that solid customer relations start with the product, be it a tangible object or a service.

Customer relations is a complete process that starts with offering products or services and follows all the way through to a satisfied customer. The ability to monitor and assess the entire process at any given point in time is a powerful management tool and Laurel Anderson, an expert Crystal Report Writer, has published a report about the benefits of using company data to improve customer relations.

Using your data to improve customer relations

An often-overlooked concept is that solid customer relations start with the product, be it a tangible object or a service. The product can be the fruit of a bright idea that grows into a profitable venture or the result of customer suggestions to improve existing products. The key to successful customer relations, for businesses of any size, is to be sure that the products and services fit with the company brand and philosophy.

The ability to track customer satisfaction makes sure that existing and proposed products are meeting customer needs within the capacity of the business. The leading causes of business failure include overextending and not being able to satisfy customer demand, and offering products that fail in the market place.

To develop and retain customer satisfaction, which translates to excellent customer relations, management needs critical data from all operations, including:


  • Production, inventory, and shipping: is production running smoothly? What factors are causing delays? Is product inventory within acceptable levels? If production is too low or too high, why? On-time shipping and deliveries are a big plus for excellent customer relations.
  • Quality assurance: Are there product failures during quality testing? Are customers complaining about failures or reporting problems?
  • Are customers complaining about the level of service or product performance?
  • Are customers asking questions about how to operate and maintain the products?

Benefits of a Crystal Reports System

A custom Crystal Report Writer system with the capability to pull raw data from various systems within a company gives management access to critical information in a timely manner. The agility of a customized system provides both standard reports and the ability to create specialized reports, as they are needed.

For example, what if customers are complaining about deliveries arriving later than promised? The contributing factor could be delays in the supply chain, an understaffed production line, or an increased demand that exceeds current production capacity.

Once a problem surfaces the options for fixing the problem include looking at data from different sources:

  • If hiring new staff is an issue, what is the cost and time frame for hiring and training new staff compared to paying overtime?
  • What are the projected costs and benefits of expanding production to meet demand? Is the demand a sign of growth or a temporary spike?
  • What is the cost of adding more suppliers?

Traditionally, these answers come from reports that are generated within the appropriate departments then handed-off to management for analysis. This takes time. Even a day or two can be a serious delay in the pace of today’s competition. Dissatisfied customers are going to demand refunds, take their business elsewhere, and complain to friends, associates, and on social media.

The ability to quickly identify factors that contribute to unhappy customers is critical to keeping your business on track. Even businesses with a handful of employees need analytical tools that provide thorough business views at any time, for any reason.

A customized Crystal Report system is designed to help you access all of your company data from any source. Working with an expert from Crystal Report Writers can help you create the reports you need to turn raw data from several sources into useful data for accurate and timely analysis.

A Crystal Report System can be designed to your company’s unique requirements:

  • Giving you timely access to current data about customer contacts
  • Retaining historical data about past issues
  • Generating comparison reports about production, shipping, quality assurance and other factors contributing to customer complaints
  • Generating forecasting reports

Crystal Report Writers has been assisting hundreds of businesses and corporations to manage, understand, and work with business data in productive ways since 1998.

Transpara by ScreenPoint Medical at EUSOBI 2019


https://www.prweb.com/

“The Transpara Experience” masterclass hands-on workshops at EUSOBI 2019

“We are excited to see that Transpara features in both the clinical and medical education programs this year and look forward to hearing the results on earlier breast cancer detection,”

EUSOBI Booth #2 – Transpara™ by ScreenPoint Medical to showcase new medical education program to demonstrate real life use of breast AI.

At EUSOBI in Budapest, ScreenPoint Medical will launch its new medical education program with a series of workshops entitled, “The Transpara experience – true multi-vendor, evidence-based breast AI for mammography.”

Transpara is an AI solution for breast cancer screening, that uses deep learning algorithms to automatically detect lesions suspicious for breast cancer in 2D and 3D mammograms. The software categorises mammograms on a 10-point scale indicating the risk that cancer is present. This Exam Score can be used to triage examinations and help radiologists to prioritise patients for further investigation. Interactive decision support of suspicious regions is provided to support radiologists with image interpretation. Studies have shown that Transpara matches the performance of radiologists , thus acting as a second opinion which increases diagnostic confidence and accuracy .

“The launch of our medical education program at EUSOBI shows our strong commitment to training in the use of commercially available breast AI,” said Nico Karssemeijer, CEO for ScreenPoint Medical. “Customers are looking for evidence-based AI solutions that work with their current IT and mammography infrastructure, so we worked hard to develop these masterclass hands-on workshops to demonstrate what Transpara can do right now for radiologists in their daily clinical practice.”

In parallel to these dedicated Transpara activities, ScreenPoint Medical is partnering with Siemens Healthineers for the “mammography reading beyond scrolling through the slices” workshops.

“The EUSOBI meeting is an important highlight in the breast imaging calendar. We are excited to see that Transpara features in both the clinical and medical education programs this year and look forward to hearing the results on earlier breast cancer detection,” adds ScreenPoint Medical co-founder Sir Michael Brady.

These commercially available 2D, 3D and combo mammography solutions are on display at the Annual European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) meeting in Budapest, Hungary this week.

About ScreenPoint Medical:

ScreenPoint Medical is a leader in the development of image analysis technology which enables the automated reading of mammograms and digital breast tomosynthesis examinations. With proven accuracy matching that of experienced radiologists, ScreenPoint’s Transpara™ system is the most advanced available, exploiting Big Data, Deep Learning and the latest advances in Artificial Intelligence. The system can identify high risk breast lesions faster than before enabling earlier detection, earlier treatment and a greater chance of survival.

ScreenPoint Medical was founded in 2014 by Professor Nico Karssemeijer and Sir Michael Brady, two internationally respected experts in breast imaging, machine learning and computer aided detection.

The company’s Head Office is in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. For more information, please email info@screenpointmed.com.

Asymmetrex Leads OCTNE 2019 Discussion of the Growing Need for Tissue Stem Cell-Specific Dosing In Stem Cell Clinical Trials


https://www.prweb.com/

Unlike all other medicines, the dose of treatment stem cells continues to be ignored.

If the FDA is going to regulate stem cells like other medicines, now that a counting technology is available, they should also guide this industry to its inevitable adoption of dose, a universally acknowledged, fundamental requirement for progress and success in medicine.

Yesterday, at the 2019 meeting of Outsourcing in Clinical Trials New England in Boston, October 2-3, Asymmetrex founder and director, James L. Sherley, M.D., Ph.D., discussed important design factors that currently limit the success of early stage stem cell clinical trials. To an attendee audience including both developers and suppliers of clinical trials, in his talk Dr. Sherley focused on the highly problematic practice of conducting stem cell clinical trials and stem cell treatments without knowing stem cell dose. He referred to the widespread lack of stem cell-specific dosing as “the major unacknowledged design feature that currently limits the success of ALL stem cell clinical trials.”

As for all effective medicines, stem cells are no different when it comes to the importance of knowing the dose. Sherley pointed out that, without knowing the dose of administered stem cells, it is impossible to interpret the outcome of current clinical trials. With an audience including manufacturers and suppliers of stem cell treatments for clinical trials, Sherley emphasized that the stem cell-specific counting problem extended to many aspects of producing and certifying the quality of tissue stem cell treatment preparations. In the case of manufacturing processes that aim to expand the number of tissue stem cells, some products may have diluted the stem cells to a negligible number and an ineffective dose.

Sherley also shared with attendees that change was now on the horizon of the regulatory landscape for stem cell-specific dosing. With the motivation of Asymmetrex’s new AlphaSTEM Test™ technology, which now makes specific and accurate counting of therapeutic tissue stem cells possible, earlier this year the FDA’s Standards Coordinating Body for Regenerative Medicine (SCB) listed stem cell-specific dose determination as a priority for the development needed standards to advance cellular therapies. Sherley notes, “This was a critical milestone for catching up stem cell medicine to being quantitative, like all the rest of medicine. If the FDA is going to regulate stem cells like other medicines, now that a counting technology is available, they should also guide this industry to its inevitable adoption of dose, a universally acknowledged, fundamental requirement for progress and success in medicine.”

About Asymmetrex

Asymmetrex, LLC is a Massachusetts life sciences company with a focus on developing technologies to advance stem cell medicine. Asymmetrex’s founder and director, James L. Sherley, M.D., Ph.D. is an internationally recognized expert on the unique properties of adult tissue stem cells. The company’s patent portfolio contains biotechnologies that solve the two main technical problems – production and quantification – that have stood in the way of successful commercialization of human adult tissue stem cells for regenerative medicine and drug development. In addition, the portfolio includes novel technologies for isolating cancer stem cells and producing induced pluripotent stem cells for disease research purposes. Asymmetrex markets the first technology for determination of the dose and quality of tissue stem cell preparations (the “AlphaSTEM Test™”) for use in stem cell transplantation therapies and pre-clinical drug evaluations.

Marilyn Love’s newly released “Message Received” is a stirring poetic opus that shares perspectives on God’s grace and magnanimity in life.


News Image

“Message Received”: a well-conceived account containing divinely inspired poems about God, his majesty, and his compassion for his creation. “Message Received” is the creation of published author Marilyn Love, an ardent writer from rural Kentucky.

Love shares, “In this book, you will find the poem ‘Christmas Colors.’ ‘Christmas Colors’ is a true poem. Most of what I write is. I was on my way on Christmas Day 2006 for Christmas dinner with my family. I looked up in the sky and bowed my head in reverence to God. I saw the clouds rolling in red and green. I was breathless from the beauty and knowing the awesome power that our Lord made the majestic scene above me. I had a wonderful day that day. It was like walking on air. No one can ever imagine, no eyes have ever seen, what God has in store for those who love him.

Life takes us down many roads. Through some, we coast along, and some are uphill. If we can learn on the roads, it’s worth storing in our hearts. A wise man dies, and a fool dies. It’s best to be honest with our souls. Peace is not far ahead no matter which road you take ’cause God is always with us.

I love to tell the story of how Jesus and His glory fought for all death and sins on Calvary. And if my happiness and my days of trials and troubles can help shine a light on someone through my poetry, to make someone life better, I have succeeded.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Marilyn Love’s new book is a resounding masterpiece that highlights the Lord’s kindness and mercy to those who heed his call and acknowledge his saving presence in their lives.

“Message Received” is an edifying omnibus of impassioned human thoughts and emotions that greatly appreciates the life-changing glory of God and his empowering gentility toward his people.

View a synopsis of “Message Received” on YouTube.

Consumers can purchase “Message Received” at traditional brick-and-mortar bookstores or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.
