Dr. Adler testifying recently in a high school shooting case

This movie will powerfully reach the hearts and minds of filmgoers. That’s the magic of movies.


SEATTLE (PRWEB)

“Wallflower,” favorably reviewed by Variety, (https://variety.com/2017/film/reviews/wallflower-review-1202463549/) will begin its US theatrical rollout this Friday, October 4, 2019 at the historic AMC Empire 25 in New York City. Additional screenings are being planned for Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, Miami, Las Vegas and Seattle.

Forensic Psychiatrist, Richard S. Adler, MD, has had an exciting career. He testified at the sentencing hearing for “The Barefoot Bandit,” was a consultant to the Defense in the Kandahar Massacre of 16 civilians in Afghanistan, continues to work on death penalty and school shooting cases across the US. It was in 2012, that he was tapped to be the consulting co-producer for “Wallflower.”

As part of his duties, Adler obtained original source documents, interviewed first-hand witnesses, provided input on creative content, worked with the male lead, helping him prepare him for the role, and most important of all, organized a special screening of the movie for survivors. Adler insisted on active efforts to avoid glamorizing the murderer as well as violence in general. The psychiatrist helped the creative team better understand the true-life backstory of the murderer, adding to the haunting power of Wallflower’s storytelling.

Dr. Adler will be moderating the Q & A session that will immediately follow the New York premiere. The panel will consist of lead male actor David Call, director Jagger Gravning and producer John W. Comerford.

Friday afternoon, before the premiere, The John Jay College of Criminal Justice will be hosting Dr. Adler’s presentation, “The Successful Interaction of Forensic Practice With The Media: Lights! Camera! Movie Premiere!” Nationally-recognized legal commentator, lattorney Anne Bremner (@AnneMBremner) and John Jay Professor, Gerard Bryant, Ph.D, will both add their insights prior to a formal Q & A opportunity for students and faculty.

Steel City Re Develops Corporate Checklist for Forging Reputational Resilience

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

Nir Kossovsky, CEO of Steel City Re

“With a record number of CEOs losing their jobs last year, and the number of reputation-based lawsuits over board-level oversight surging, corporate leaders clearly need a preemptive reputational risk management strategy.”


PITTSBURGH (PRWEB)

Although the reputations of companies and their leaders are more vulnerable than ever, there are seven practical steps they can take to forge reputation resilience, reports a white paper https://steelcityre.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Pub-0036-Reputation-Risk-Management-Checklist-20191001.pdf from Steel City Re, which provides insurances and reputation risk governance advice.

“With a record number of CEOs losing their jobs last year, and the number of reputation-based lawsuits over board-level oversight surging, corporate leaders clearly need a preemptive reputational risk management strategy,” says Steel City Re CEO Nir Kossovsky.

“Ninety percent of the S&P 500 refer to reputation in their SEC filings as a material risk – but most never describe their strategy for mitigating it,” says Kossovsky. And yet, says Kossovsky, most corporate leaders do not fully appreciate that reputation risk is actually the peril of angry disappointed stakeholders. It is not a marketing problem. “When boards disclose reputation as a material risk without truly understanding it or appropriately mitigating it as a governance and operational problem, they are putting themselves and their companies in even greater peril.”

Milestones on the road to corporate reputational resilience lay in a seven-point checklist, cited in Steel City Re’s latest white paper:

1.    The board of directors comprehends the true nature of reputational risk – economic damage and go-forward losses resulting from the behaviors of angry and disappointed stakeholders, as opposed to merely negative media coverage.

2.    A board committee oversees the corporation’s enterprise-wide policies, practices and procedures that mitigate and manage reputational risk.

3.    Senior management sets appropriate stakeholder expectations by bridging risk management and marketing silos—so that aspirational messaging doesn’t outpace actual performance.

4.    Treasury understands the peril is to cash flows rather than balance sheet and is prepared to fund reputation losses with insurance captives or risk transfer solutions.

5.    Risk management continually assesses stakeholder expectations, taking into consideration rapidly changing cultural and political events, and has a clear understanding of the full spectrum of operational and financial strategic options to manage and mitigate potential losses from those perils.

6.    The company deploys preemptive, simple, easy to understand expressive risk management strategies such as warranties and insurances to inform and substantiate the marketing department’s messaging. Communications activities support risk management with signals of governance integrity.

7.    Key stakeholders appreciate and value the company’s enterprise-wide mitigation and governance efforts.

Steel City Re

Steel City Re, backed by Tokio Marine Kiln, provides advisory services and reputation insurances. The company pioneered synthetic measures of reputational value that inform its solutions. These measures are also used by Wall Street for equities arbitrage strategies, Lloyd’s and other insurers for both parametric risk transfer and insurance captive compliance.

Through its advisory services, it deploys state-of-the-art reputation risk governance and enterprise risk management solutions, and models potential losses. Its risk financing and risk transfer services comprise pricing and underwriting support for insurance captives and risk transfer

Students with Hearing Loss Awarded Scholarship from HearStrong & the NFL Players Association’s PAF

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

Todd Honas accepts the first scholarship from the partnership back in 2016

Since I have hearing loss, I have always provided a unique perspective on life, yet I have never let that stop me from doing what I love, pursuing excellence at all times, and working beyond my limits.


SYRACUSE, N.Y. (PRWEB)

The HearStrong Foundation and the NFL Players Association’s Professional Athletes Foundation launched the fourth annual scholarship program for student athletes with hearing loss. Through the program, six students received $1,000 to go toward their higher education.

The HearStrong Foundation and the NFLPA have been tackling issues surrounding hearing loss together for years. A not-for-profit organization dedicated to recognizing remarkable adults and children with hearing loss, HearStrong partners with the NFLPA to empower and inspire others. In fact, many former professional athletes have joined the cause as HearStrong Ambassadors throughout the years.

The scholarship program was born in 2016 in an effort to inspire a new generation of athletes who have overcome challenges surrounding their hearing loss. The program is open to high school juniors through college sophomores who have played at least one year of high school varsity sports and are attending – or have plans to attend – a college or university.

Casey King was one of the six recipients of this year’s scholarship when she was entering her sophomore year in college at Capital University. Casey says,

“Since I have hearing loss, I have always provided a unique perspective on life, yet I have never let that stop me from doing what I love, pursuing excellence at all times, and working beyond my limits.”

Jacob Hartman, another recipient entering his freshmen year at Glenville State College, has also demonstrated excellence in all areas of his academics and athletics.

“I set the example of how an athlete should act on and off the field and hope that those that watched will continue to follow me and will set the bar high for what they want to accomplish,” said Jacob. “You can do anything you want and never let anyone discourage you from it.”

To learn more about the HearStrong and its work in the community, please call 866-432-7500.

About HearStrong:

HearStrong was founded in 2013 with the goal of inspiring a mass hearing healthcare awareness movement. An estimated 48 million Americans experience hearing loss. In response to this need, HearStrong began recognizing and sharing the stories of remarkable people with hearing loss. Today, HearStrong’s efforts have expanded and the organization partners with hearing healthcare professionals across the country to give people of all ages access to hearing health services.

“Murrieta has a growing health care community,” declared Scott Agajanian of the city’s economic development department. “Several new facilities have opened recently, and we have a quarterly medical leaders’ luncheon that is attended by local healthcare providers and innovators from all over Southern California. The innovation Center epitomizes our focus on building high technology, high growth jobs in this area.”

The event will begin at 4 pm and feature several of the companies in the Center, including:

Murrieta Genomics, a specialized business incubator focused on genomic-related businesses;

GattaCo, who is revolutionizing blood collection and processing;

Sandhill Crane Diagnostics, a company focused on bringing point of care diagnostics to rural and underserved communities;

LitCentral, who uses blockchain and advanced survey solutions to provide insurance companies with new insight into patients, providers and prescription drugs;

Trio Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a cancer therapeutics startup developing novel single agent dual action drugs that could lead to safer, better and cheaper treatments;

Epigenetics Rx, who has created a nutrigenomic digital health hub being used by doctors across the country;

Tx Genetic, who is using genomic data to help people understand how fruits and vegetables can contribute to the decline of epithelial mucosa, or “inside skin,” causing chronic health conditions like “leaky gut”;

SimpliSeq, a company simplifying sample preparation for next generation sequencing and introducing a new cancer assay based upon proprietary technology;

And finally, Alliance Research Centers, a clinical research site that is actively working to improve clinical trials to reduce costs and increase efficiency in the clinical trials process.

The evening promises to be a true celebration of innovation and entrepreneurship, with insights from entrepreneurs who are solving advanced problems in human health.

BMW of Sterling’s Community C.A.R.E. Program is Donating Vehicles to Single Parents at Heritage Fellowship Church in Reston, VA This Sunday, October 6th, 2019

Previous Recipient Javelle R. Teate

“We (Sterling Motorcars) are challenging all businesses to step up and partner with the faith-based community to make a difference in the lives of our neighbors.” – Paul White, President Sterling Motorcars


RESTON, Va. (PRWEB)

Two unsuspecting single parents will be surprised on Sunday October 6, 2019. The parents will receive a quality pre-owned vehicle from BMW of Sterling’s at one of two services at the Heritage Fellowship Church. These parents currently do not have reliable transportation and give tirelessly of their time and talent to others. While their names cannot be disclosed, their backgrounds are as follows:

  • Single mom – 2 children, ancient car about to give up the ghost, part of the Young Adult Ministry and has assisted with the computer program

  • Single Dad – widower, teen daughter still at home, assists with the Teen Church


The BMW of Sterling Community C.A.R.E. Program stands for Commitment, Assurance, Reliability and Excellence. While most businesses pay for this type of community outreach in the form of sponsorships, Sterling Motorcars is doing the work and coming from within the walls of their dealership. This is a huge differentiator. “We are challenging all businesses to step up and partner with the faith-based community to make a difference in the lives of our neighbors. Our first launch event last April was a huge success. One of the single parents who received a car was able to get off of 15 years of welfare and is now working for Uber. This type of impact in the community is priceless,” said Paul White, President of Sterling Motorcars.

“We give thanks for the blessings bestowed on our members for this event, said Heritage pastor, Rev. Dustin B. Sullivan. “As Christians, we are called to put our faith in action by meeting the needs of our neighbors. BMW of Sterling Community C.A.R.E. Program embodies God’s call to open wide your hand to those in need. The gift of these automobiles allows our members to experience God’s grace and empowers them to change their daily circumstances and financial realities. We are honored and humbled to partner with Sterling Motors allowing Heritage to further our vision of Connecting Christ, Congregation and Community.”

Texas-based Raven™ Scanner makes waves in the document scanner category after May 2019 debut and becomes the highest rated document scanner

Leave a comment


We set out to disrupt the document scanner category with user-centered design, a built-in interface that eliminates the need for a computer, direct scanning to the cloud, and unmatched customer service and support.


HOUSTON (PRWEB)

Texas-based Raven™ Scanner makes waves in the document scanner category after May 2019 debut.

Scanners have always been an IT nightmare, one that usually involves multinational technology powerhouse brands. Interface with peripherals has always been difficult, as models and standards are always changing, but most businesses keep legacy equipment for as long as possible to minimize expense and hassle.

Houston, Texas-based Raven™ Scanners addressed this margin-killing connectivity hassle when it introduced its first commercial Raven Scanner models at Collision Conference in Toronto in May of 2019. Since launching, Raven has become the highest rated document scanner on Amazon and has attracted the attention of communities such as Paperless Movement, MILO (Macs In Law Offices) and Private Charter Schools.

All Raven Scanner models completely remove computers from the scanning equation, and come pre-connected to a highly-functional, single purpose, internet-enabled 7-8 inch touchscreen tablet that is built right into the scanners.

The scanner connects directly to Wi-Fi networks or hardwired Ethernet connections and, from there, can scan documents directly to internet-enabled cloud destinations like Raven Cloud™, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, Evernote, SharePoint and OneDrive. Raven Scanners can also scan directly to more traditional destinations destinations like Fax (no phone line or fee to use), Email (no setup required) or a USB drive connected to the scanner.

Raven™ provides all users access to its own secure cloud storage, Raven Cloud™, which provides unlimited storage, sharing and PDF editing at no cost.

Stefan Diasti, CEO and Co-Founder of Raven™ Scanners says “We built Raven™ to provide seamless solutions that enable small businesses and chief household officers to go paperless,” Diasti says. “We set out to disrupt the document scanner category with user-centered design, a built-in interface that eliminates the need for a computer, direct scanning to the cloud, and unmatched customer service and support.”

Raven™ Scanners include free automatic software updates, delivered directly over the internet, which means Raven™ Scanners get the benefit of new features multiple times each month, without needing to upgrade to the latest model. No software is required to set up or use Raven™ Scanner or Raven Cloud™, so it’s both platform and operating system agnostic.

Raven™ Scanners is a US-based business, located in Houston, Texas. This allows them to be closer to their customers, and to drive product innovation based on customer feedback. “When was the last time you called customer service to an electronics brand, got an answer within minutes from a representative in the U.S, and saw your request implemented in the next software update?” Diasti asks.

Raven™ offers three scanner models: Raven Original Document Scanner, Raven Plus Document Scanner and Raven Pro Document Scanner. The models include differences in scan speed, automatic document feeder capacity and touchscreen size. Raven Scanners are currently available for sale on Raven.com, Amazon.com and Walmart.com.
