The Computer Center Announces New Main Street Janesville Location and Dedicated Training Center

Leave a comment


Janesville’s downtown is going through some great changes right now and when I was looking at new locations I really wanted to stay in the downtown area.


JANESVILLE, Wis. (PRWEB)

In October The Computer Center becomes a Janesville Main Street business. The Computer Center, which has been providing IT support and training since 1983, announces its move to 39 S Main St., Janesville, WI. The technology company will occupy the 5000 square foot 3rd floor of the location. This move and expansion provides The Computer Center the ability to launch a training facility and multi-media conference room services in 2020.

Cyber security training will be the focus of the new training center, helping small businesses protect themselves from ransomware, phishing scams, and identity theft. Up until now there hasn’t been a single source for quality training in the area that specifically addresses the unique needs of small businesses and their staff. This is especially true when it comes to protecting their data and learning about new threats.

The facility will double as a space that other businesses in the area can rent for their own training, meetings, lunch-and-learns, business seminars, or other similar business events. It will be multi-media ready, allowing most anyone to come in, connect, and present to up to 20 attendees.

“My vision is to once again provide quality technology-related training to Rock County and the surrounding area. The Computer Center started as a training company back in the 80’s and I’ve always had a passion for teaching business owners and their employees how to truly leverage technology to make them more competitive and efficient in today’s market,” says James Pearson, President of The Computer Center.

Up until now, Pearson has been focusing on on-site training, renting space for his seminars, or using webinars. While these will continue, “having a dedicated technology training center will really open up additional possibilities and potential for assisting businesses in ways we currently cannot”, he stated.

According to a 2019 study by IBM about data breaches, 24% are due to human error. Further, as of 2019 individuals have become the primary target for cyber-attacks, above any specific industry or organization. Statistic also indicate that 1 in 5 small businesses will fall victim to some sort of cyber attack each year, and that number appears to be growing.

These scary statistics point to an ever-increasing need for businesses to educate themselves and their employees on the latest identity theft techniques such as phishing, social engineer, and other scams. And, since the bad guys are constantly coming up with new ways to trick people, keeping up with these constant changes can be challenging.

The ability to help educate local businesses on how to protect themselves was a key factor in the decision to move to the larger location and open a dedicated training center.

“Janesville’s downtown is going through some great changes right now and when I was looking at new locations I really wanted to stay in the downtown area. The location at 39 S. Main gives us the best of both worlds, the ability to continue showing our support in keeping technology companies in downtown Janesville, and a better way to serve our community by opening the training center next year,” says Pearson.

Currently The Computer Center is offering free webinars on a variety of IT-related topics including enhancing productivity, evaluating moving to the Cloud, and cyber security. You can find our more and register for an upcoming webinar, held every Thursday at 2pm, by visiting http://www.computer-center.com/webinars

Life-saving Ostomy Surgery Moves Out of the Shadows

Leave a comment


UOAA estimates that there are 725,000 to 1-million people in the U.S. are alive today as a result of ostomy surgery.


KENNEBUNK, Maine (PRWEB)

It can save the lives of those shot or stabbed in the abdomen. It’s a life-saving surgery used in the final stages of common cancers such as colorectal and bladder. When deadly complications of inflammable bowel disease arise, it can give life back. When an infant comes into this world with a birth defect or rare disease of the digestive system, it can provide a childhood not possible several generations ago.

Yet ostomy surgery is still often talked about in hush tones and cloaked in stigma. People of all ages have this type of surgery that creates an opening (stoma) in the abdomen that allows for the removal of bodily waste into an odor-proof pouch outside the body. At its most simple it’s just a new way to go to the bathroom.

Though ostomy support and information has been around for well over half a century it is known that people still delay or refuse the surgery and die because of a preconceived notion of life with an “ostomy bag.” People who have connected with support and educational resources like those available from United Ostomy Associations of America (UOAA), learn that there is indeed a full life possible after surgery. With a proper pouching system fit, emotional support, and doctor and ostomy nurse consultation – there are no limits on what a person living with an ostomy is capable of doing.

“Let’s work together to make sure people don’t suffer alone in silence,” says UOAA President and Susan Burns who had her life saved over 30 years ago from ileostomy surgery. Ostomies are life-savers¬. UOAA estimates that there are 725,000 to 1-million people in the U.S. are alive today as a result of ostomy surgery. “We’re living proof that you can pick up the pieces and do things like play with your grandchildren, go to college, find love, excel in your career, play sports and embrace life,” Burns says.

Saturday, October 5, 2019 is Ostomy Awareness Day and the theme is “Ostomies Are Life-Savers.” You can help ostomy awareness move out of the shadows and into the public consciousness. The resilience of the ostomy community will be on display at eight Run for Resilience Ostomy 5k events around the country from September 28th through October 12th. You’re also invited to attend or gather friends and family wherever you want and sign-up for a virtual walk/run option. Please visit http://www.ostomy5k.org for details. “Hollister Incorporated is proud to stand with UOAA as the exclusive Diamond Sponsor of its 2019 Run for Resilience Ostomy 5K events. UOAA and its members work tirelessly to increase awareness and support quality of life and life-saving ostomy surgery,” said Brian Luedtke, Hollister Senior Vice President, The Americas. “By coming together as a community we can collectively make a difference and help people living with ostomies experience their best lives.”

Go to http://www.ostomy.org to learn more about this life-saving surgery and all the ways to make an impact on this day. The Run for Resilience is supported by Hollister, Coloplast, Byram, Colo-Majic, ConvaTec, Safe n Simple and Kem Enterprises.

When asked about his time at the center, Mayor Neese said, “I’ve only been at the center a short time, but I can see that the staff at Lighthouse are second to none, genuinely care about the kids and are truly making an impact on the lives of children with autism.”


ELKHART, Ind. (PRWEB)

On Wednesday, September 25th, Elkhart Mayor Tim Neese visited Lighthouse Autism Center’s newest ABA therapy center in Elkhart, Indiana. The newest center opened in August and is the seventh center opened by Lighthouse Autism Center, which provides ABA therapy services in Mishawaka, Granger, Plymouth, Warsaw and Portage, MI.

The new center will provide intensive, center-based therapy utilizing the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to nearly twenty-five families in the Elkhart area. The therapy programs are custom made for each child and work on things like social skills, communication skills, living skills and school readiness skills.

During his visit, Mayor Neese had the opportunity to meet with Founder and Executive Director, Gregg Maggioli, who has a son with autism. “My son attended one of the first ABA centers in the state of Indiana. When I saw the impact it had on his life, and the life of my family, I knew I had to find a way to bring this service to other families with autism.”

While touring the facility, Mayor Neese was able to observe children working, playing, participating in a simulated classroom setting, and even spoke with one child as she practiced asking and answering questions. When asked about his time at the center, Mayor Neese said, “I’ve only been at the center a short time, but I can see that the staff at Lighthouse are second to none, genuinely care about the kids and are truly making an impact on the lives of children with autism.”

Short Guide For Selecting The Best Car Insurance Provider

Leave a comment


News Image

“Selecting the right insurance company may take some time. Drivers should analyze consumer reports and financial strength ratings for each insurer, before signing any contract”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com has released a new blog post that explains how to select the best car insurance company.

For more info and free quotes, visit http://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com/choose-best-car-insurance-company/

Choosing a reliable insurer is vital for any driver. A reputable company must provide high-quality customer assistance, handle claims smoothly and have high financial strength ratings. After analyzing these aspects, clients should use online quotes to compare prices. Visit http://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com and get free quotes from top-rated insurers!


  • The first thing to do is to analyze the insurance needs. This will help identifying what types of companies and services should be looked for. For example, former military personnel should look for companies specialized in providing coverage to the military. Or drivers caught with DUI should look for non-standard carriers.

  • Buy coverage only from licensed companies. It is really easy to verify if a company is licensed to sell car insurance in the state where the driver lives. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) tracks companies licensed. The state’s insurance commissioner can also help find reliable insurers. Furthermore, a person can check a company’s complaint ratio through NAIC.

  • Check the stability of each insurer. When analyzing insurance companies, it is extremely important to check its financial stability. Websites like Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s, Fitch, and A.M. Best rate companies based on their financial strength and level of credit risk.

  • Select companies with a high J.D. Power satisfaction rating. Check J.D. Power’s 2018 Auto Claims Satisfaction Reports, Insure.com’s Best Car Insurance Companies for 2018, and Consumer Reports’ 2017 Car Insurance Ratings. Select companies with high ratings. This means that they handle really well claims, coverage and customer assistance.

ES Gears Up for Growth with Building Expansion & Investment in Programs Supporting the Company’s Community of Small Businesses

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

ES CEO Paul Williams checks in with the expanding ES Recruiting Department in its larger space at the company’s headquarters building.

The expansion of the new space for the growing needs of our recruiting department is one of the ways that our company is investing in our future as well as investing in the needs of our ES Community. __ ES CEO Paul Williams


MEMPHIS, Tenn. (PRWEB)

ES, a leader in capacity solutions and ownership opportunities within the trucking industry, announced the company recently completed the current phase of its operational headquarters expansion with the addition of new office space specifically designed for the ES Recruiting Department. The decision to move forward with the development of a larger space for the recruiting department within the ES operational headquarters is part of an overall strategic plan focused on supporting the continued growth of the company’s truck ownership opportunities and expanding its business support programs for the members of the ES Community.

“At ES, one of the points that we stress with every business owner who becomes part of our program is the importance of setting money aside to invest back into your business. The expansion of the new space for the growing needs of our recruiting department is one of the ways that our company is investing in our future as well as investing in the needs of our ES Community,” said Paul Williams, CEO of ES. “As a company, ES provides safe, stable and profitable capacity to our partner carriers by connecting carriers with our community of small business owners consisting of independent contractor drivers, owner-operators and fleet owners. The success of ES is directly tied to the success of the motor carriers and the members of the ES community, and we believe it is essential to continue to invest in the infrastructure and programs that will further open the doors for success in trucking.”

Williams noted that ES originally acquired the company’s operational headquarters building – which had previously served as a newspaper distribution center just south of Memphis – because it could accommodate future growth needs. The Recruiting Department expansion is the third construction project that ES has completed since 2017. Previously, the company had added the Hub, a gathering space for owner-operators and independent contract drivers, as well as an expanded area for the IT Department, Accounting and other back-office support functions ES provides to participants in the company’s programs.

“When Expediter Services entered the trucking industry and began introducing our offerings in the expedited sector in 2006, we had developed a strategic plan for future growth and the development of our programs that could expand beyond expedite,” explained Williams. “Having a building large enough where we can expand as necessary to provide the highest level of support for the needs of the small businesses in the ES Community has helped our company move forward in what we can offer to the overall trucking industry.”

Continued Commitment to Reinvesting in Infrastructure & Programs

According to Jason Williams, President of ES, one of the company’s core principles is the commitment to make investments back into company’s infrastructure in order to enhance the offerings available to the ES Community. The company’s history and track record of growth stand as proof of the dedication to reinvestment – in both prosperous times and during periods when the market is soft. One of the benefits of becoming a leading provider of non-asset capacity to the expedited sector could be seen in the manner with which ES brought its proven model of creating small businesses to general trucking. By 2016, the company had introduced truck ownership programs and support services tailored for the demands of the truckload (TL) and less than truckload (LTL) sectors.

In November of 2017, ES partnered with the Women In Trucking Association to launch the 150 Business Challenge, a collaborative initiative between the two organizations to create 150 women-owned businesses in transportation. Over the past two years, the 150 Business Challenge is fast approaching 100 new trucking start-ups as a result of participation in the program, which offers an attainable path to financing as well as operational and business support for women who have an interest in a career path within the trucking industry. Qualified participants in all of the ES ownership programs have access to competitive, market-rate financing with a credit-evaluation process that places an emphasis on attitude, aptitude, work ethic and work history. 

“Trucking has allowed me to realize my dream of becoming my own boss, and the opportunity I have through ES and 150 Business Challenge allowed my dream of truck ownership to come true,” said Shannon Richert, who is running with Forward Air. “I can’t say enough about the ownership program and the support services available to me as part of the ES Community. I am running my own small business in an industry that I love. ES has opened the doors to the best experience I’ve had in all my years in trucking.

“I quickly discovered ES is a company that you can trust. They will stand with you no matter what’s happening in the freight market,” she added. “ES will tell you, ‘If you can drive a truck, you can own the truck,’ and that’s absolutely true. You are going to have ups and downs in trucking. It’s a fact of life. But, because of the comprehensive way that ES supports the people in their programs, you can enter truck ownership at any time and at any point in the freight cycle. If you want to get into truck ownership today and you are willing to commit to the work needed to be successful, ES can help you make it happen.”

The 150 Business Challenge: A Closer Look at the Commitment to Provide Opportunities

Long before the collaboration with WIT on the 150 Business Challenge, ES had established a reputation in the industry for opening doors for women who are seeking to become business owners in trucking. Today, the number of women within the ES Community who are fleet owners, owner-operators or independent contract drivers involved in the programs offered by the company now exceeds 38 percent of the ES fleet. When compared to the overall industry average of women behind the wheel, the percentage of women participating in the ES truck ownership programs and utilizing the company’s support services is nearly five times greater than the current national average.

FedEx, Forward Air and Panther Premium Logistics, a service of ArcBest, have become leading participating motor carriers within the ES Community. These three companies served as the exclusive motor carriers for the inaugural Success In Trucking Expo (SITE), which was held at the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway complex in early June of this year.

Donna Sleasman, a 38-year veteran of the industry who found a home in expediting as an owner-operator with FedEx in 2000, began utilizing the support services of ES in 2012 as she was growing her own fleet of expedited trucks within FedEx. Donna brought a depth of perspective to the SITE as a member of the panel discussion on truck ownership at the event. Within the last year, Donna further grew her fleet through the 150 Business Challenge program, and she was recognized in July by the Women In Trucking Association as one of the honorees for the organization’s Top Women-Owned Businesses Award.

“To think that someone like me who has a company with five or six trucks could be on this list is quite flattering, and I feel like I need to share the credit for this award with ES,” said Donna. “ES has become a valued business partner, and they have helped me become more successful as a business owner. The discounts ES provides are some of the best in the trucking industry, and the support they offer to me and to everyone in their program is first-rate. I can walk right into Jason Williams’ office and ask him a question. He will take the time to listen and to get me with the right people who can address what I need.

“ES backs up what they tell you and they truly care about your success as a business owner,” she added. “The biggest thing is that they have been there when I have needed them, and that’s the way they work with everyone in their program. I wish ES had been in business with the program they have today back when I started.”

Positive Impact of the Inaugural Success In Trucking Expo (SITE)

The response from professional drivers, owner-operators and fleet owners interested in attending the inaugural edition of the SITE was confirmation in the decision to move forward with the expansion of the ES Recruiting Department space at the company’s headquarters.

“The outreach and marketing efforts we made related to the SITE helped to build a lot of positive momentum for our recruiting department,” said Jeff Tacker, COO of ES. “We are thrilled to be in our new space. It not only meets our needs at the moment and in the months ahead, but this expansion will allow us to continue to grow for years to come. We added one new recruiter in early September, and we are looking forward to adding to the team as they are needed.”

According to ES, the SITE has contributed to the increased interest the company has received from carriers within expedite and general trucking seeking to work with the non-asset capacity that ES is developing for the industry.

“We are quite thankful and very fortunate to have established strong working relationships with three of the trucking industry’s leading names in FedEx, Forward Air and ArcBest through Panther Premium Logistics. One of the byproducts of the success ES and the members of our community have realized over the years can be seen in the calls that we have gotten from a number of motor carriers interested in our program,” said Jason Williams. “We spend a good amount of time talking with interested motor carriers and closely examining all aspects of those companies to see if they are a good fit for our ES Community. We are currently preparing to beta test a carrier and we will be looking at some additional carrier candidates over the next year. At the end of the day, one of the biggest questions in the evaluation process is this: How will the carrier benefit the small business owners in our community?”

About ES:

A full-service, one-stop support company with expertise in financial services, relationship lending and general business support, ES has developed highly effective programs focused on creating opportunities for independent contract drivers and owner-operators in the trucking industry. ES features support in the areas of contract driver services, equipment finance, truck sales, management services and insurance services. In addition to serving as the leading provider of capacity in the expedited sector of trucking, ES also has built a strong network of independent contract drivers, owner-operators, fleet owners and partner carriers within the over-the-road, general trucking sector of the transportation industry.

NEW YORK (PRWEB)

Even when he did not have a particular affinity for poetry, one of the most beautiful sentences were written about our Saviour:

“Jesus arose majestically from the altar,

Miraculously in the hands of the priest,

Angels surrounded the altar in adoration,

Spirit bears witness to a heavenly feast”

Readers through this beautiful work will find how perfection and beauty merge and at the end of the road, we find Christ showing us the way to The New Jerusalem:

“At the intersection of Hope and Charity,

Take a right to Ten Commandments Drive.

True faith will provide a short cut,

The pursuit of sanctity enables all to arrive.”

Michael P. Mallardi was born in East Harlem, on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, 1934. Born at home to a mother one generation removed from her Italian immigrant roots and an Italian immigrant father. He joined the American Broadcasting Company in 1956, and then spent the next 40 years, both within and outside ABC, in various executive positions in the media industry. He eventually became ABC’s Chief Financial Officer and one of three of the company’s Executive Vice Presidents.

He and Sylvia, his wife of 58 years, have two daughters Karen and Stephanie and one fabulous granddaughter, Natalie Joan, who has been his sunshine from the moment of her birth.
