Micro Center to Eliminate Single-Use Plastic Bags at Select Stores


We appreciate our customers’ support and understanding during this transition as we focus on doing what’s right for the environment. By working together, we can eliminate over 4 million single-use plastic bags every year.

Micro Center (microcenter.com), one of the largest brick and mortar and consumer electronics retailers in the United States, focuses on sustainability by removing single-use plastic bags from stores nationwide. To reduce waste, Micro Center will no longer supply single-use plastic bags during checkout as of July 1, 2022 at select stores.

Americans use billions of plastic bags each year, and nearly all of them end up as waste in landfills or litter the environment. Micro Center aims to help the planet by eventually eliminating plastic bags from all 25 stores. The rollout will be in phases, starting with five stores, including Denver, Chicago, Fairfax, Sharonville, and St. Davids.

“We know our customers are used to having plastic bags at checkout, and moving away from them will require some getting used to,” said Ralph Gilson, Senior Vice President of Operations of Micro Center. “We appreciate our customers’ support and understanding during this transition as we focus on doing what’s right for the environment. By working together, we can eliminate over 4 million single-use plastic bags every year.”

Micro Center will transition to reusable bags, which will be available for purchase at checkout. Additionally, we encourage customers interested in learning more about our electronics recycling program to speak with a representative at the Knowledge Bar.

ZRS Management Launches Resident Engagement & Experience Partnership With Flamingo


News Image

By creating a new Resident Engagement & Experience standard in our communities with Flamingo, we are offering added value for clients, residents, and our staff

ZRS and Flamingo have entered into a strategic partnership aimed at simplifying the way onsite teams engage residents. The objective is to further develop the resident experience in the 200+ ZRS-managed communities, for example, through Flamingo’s resident events.

What started as a pilot with a few communities has transformed into a portfolio-wide partnership in just a couple of months. “We need strong partnerships if we are to advance the resident experience for this industry. By creating a new Resident Engagement & Experience standard in our communities with Flamingo, we are offering added value for clients, residents, and our staff,” explains Jeremy Brown, Vice President of Marketing at ZRS Management.

At the core of this collaboration is the rapid growth that ZRS Management has seen in the last years. ZRS earned national recognition earlier in the year by making the National Multifamily Housing Council’s (NMHC) 2022 NMHC 50, the annual ranking of the nation’s largest apartment owners, managers, developers, builders, and syndicators as the 27th Apartment Manager in the country, with 60,193 units. All of which will now benefit from the partnership. “We’ve gotten this far by exceeding the expectations of our clients. We understand the role that Resident Engagement & Experience play in overall NOI, so teaming up with Flamingo was a no-brainer for us. They have the expertise and the platform to help our site teams create engaged communities, so we couldn’t be more excited.” Shared Josh Cohen, Marketing Manager at ZRS Management.

“Resident experience is a term often used in Multifamily; however, very few companies truly commit processes and resources to improve it. Flamingo’s One-App Platform aims to change that. The communities out there that are thriving, the ones with the highest NOI, are the ones who pay attention to Resident Experience. ZRS understands that, and their site teams are doing an amazing job with their properties. Our platform will empower them to be more strategic and proactive with their efforts. We’re extremely proud to partner with such a forward-thinking company”, says Jude Chiy, CEO & Founder of Flamingo.

About ZRS

ZRS Management, LLC is a Florida Limited Liability Company originally formed in 1991 to manage high-quality multifamily communities. In 2010, ZRS Management, LLC became a stand-alone third party management company. Currently, ZRS manages over 60,000 units for various institutional clients, partnerships, and individual owners.

About Flamingo

Flamingo is an all-in-one resident engagement and experience platform providing the One-App Resident Journey. Instead of making residents download a million apps, apartments now use Flamingo’s One-App Resident Journey to offer everything residents need in one app – resident events, on-demand fitness, rewards, digital resident guide, move-in, communication, and more. Over 1100 apartments use Flamingo’s platform to stand out.

CoolIT’s Direct Liquid Cooling Technology Supports The World’s Fastest Supercomputer


CoolIT PCL on HPE Cray EX Server

CoolIT Systems Passive Coldplate Loop installation on HPE Cray EX server.

“We look forward to continue collaborating with CoolIT to incorporate its industry-leading cooling capabilities to build powerful and efficient HPE Cray EX supercomputers.” – Gerald Kleyn, Vice President, Systems and Platforms, HPC & AI at HPE

Deployed at the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Frontier ushered in a new era of supercomputing with an impressive Linpack run that saw the system surpass 1.1 exaFLOPS, making it the first exascale system in the world. This test has resulted in Frontier sitting atop the 59th edition of the Top500, which was unveiled at ISC 2022 in Hamburg, Germany. Notably, Frontier also appeared atop the Green500, which is a testament to the system’s efficiency and sustainability.

A contributing factor in achieving this new performance benchmark is the adoption of CoolIT’s direct liquid cooling technology. CoolIT’s patented SplitFlow™ technology is embedded in the passive coldplate systems and is responsible for cooling the 9,408 nodes within the 74 HPE Cray EX cabinets.

“Liquid cooling is critical to deliver HPE’s Cray EX supercomputers with leading efficiency. Breaking the exaFLOP performance barrier is a massive achievement, and doing so with performance per watt leadership on the Green500 list is truly remarkable,” said Gerald Kleyn, Vice President, Systems and Platforms, HPC & AI at HPE. “We look forward to continue collaborating with CoolIT to incorporate its industry-leading cooling capabilities to build powerful and efficient HPE Cray EX supercomputers.”

CoolIT is fast becoming a standard for liquid cooling on large, complex systems such as Frontier. CoolIT technology can be found cooling four of the top ten largest supercomputers and four of the top five greenest supercomputers in the world. The company has a long history of developing leading edge solutions for the world’s largest server OEMs and seems poised to continue this tradition.

“It was a great honor to have our team work on this project,” expressed Steve Walton, CEO of CoolIT. “We are grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute to the significant milestone achieved by ORNL and HPE and we are looking forward to being part of additional projects of this magnitude well into the future.”

PicoNFT enables travel and hospitality companies to engage their customers with branded NFTs that feature iconic destinations.

PicoNFT is the only solution to offer an integrated, end-to-end platform for travel companies to design branded NFT campaign artwork, mint it on the blockchain, and integrate with loyalty programs.

PicoNFT today announced its platform for travel and hospitality companies to create non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that engage their customers and audiences. Branded NFTs offer a new way for brand managers to mobilize communities of passionate travel customers. Used in loyalty programs and as iconic travel collectibles, NFTs enable companies to deliver authenticated brand content and ongoing engagement with their audiences.

Additionally, PicoNFT lets marketers create online communities for NFT holders and engage them with unique, branded NFT travel content.

Branded NFT travel collectibles

PicoNFT allows brands to create beautiful NFT artwork through pre-built templates in an integrated design tool.

When customers stay at properties or participate in partner activities, they can be automatically issued a designed NFT with a specific point value. After collecting several NFTs, travelers can redeem those NFTs for rewards. This upcoming award capability is complementary to existing loyalty programs and is fully contained on branded channels, without requiring customers to transact on external third-party marketplaces.

Customer engagement in NFT-enabled communities
