BOCA RATON, Fla. (PRWEB)

Announcing BuyLottoNow, http://www.buylottonow.com, a new cashless payment platform that allows c-stores to accept payment for draw games and scratch off tickets easily on a mobile phone with a seamless interface into existing POS terminals. Today, BuyLottoNow is bringing its proprietary decoupled debit mobile payment platform featuring no processing fees to c-store operators. In addition to no processing fees, BuyLottoNow makes lottery a potential winning loyalty program that can drive increased in-store foot traffic through merchant branded no cost email campaigns. Unlike cash, the platform knows who a retailer’s lottery players are, where and what they are buying and how much they are spending so the retailer can target such products as gas and merchandise offers to these customers.

Today online lottery sales are in their infancy with approximately $2 billion in sales. It is estimated that the 13 states currently selling lottery products online will reduce c-store retailers’ commissions by $126 million this year alone. The pandemic has caused states to accelerate their interest in online lottery sales pushing projections to $262 million in reduced commissions to retailers by 2025.

While the nation continues its rapid movement away from cash transactions, high processing fees mean convenience retailers won’t be able to accept cash for Lotto sales. On the slim margins these retailers make on debit and credit payments, they cannot afford to promote such card payments for Lotto sales because of costly processing fees.

“The BuyLottoNow solution eliminates the transaction fee for the retailer which is their number one concern. In fact, it may very well be the first time a payment system isn’t charging the fee to the retailer. Plus, the extra benefit of a loyalty engagement program makes participating retailers a VIP destination for lottery players,” says Joe Randazza, CEO of BuyLottoNow, who also co-founded National Payment Card Association that attracted millions of enrolled users to c-store branded rewards programs. “Cash is suppressive to the impulse of high jackpot games or $20 scratch off tickets. Cashless payment will bring a lift in sales and commissions,” says Randazza.

A convenience fee of $0.30 per transaction, regardless of the transaction size is charged to the consumer for the convenience of paying for lottery products with their phone. Mr. Randazza says that, “By making lottery a winning loyalty program, c-stores can retain current customers and reduce or offset the loss in in-store traffic from online sales.”

DENVER (PRWEB)
September 16, 2020

The Pro Cyclist Foundation has launched. The Foundation will provide professional cyclists with access to legal, health, and career training services. In tandem, Black Swift Group, LLC, a Colorado based SEC registered investment advisor has launched a private investment fund to provide ongoing financial support to the Foundation. A portion of the private fund’s investment management fees will provide an annual operating and program budget for the Pro Cyclist Foundation.

Will Dugan, a former professional cyclist, will lead the Foundation’s efforts in developing programs and advisory councils to assist athletes competing at the highest levels in the sport of cycling. “The positive effects of supporting professional athletes reach beyond the athletes and the sport itself,” Dugan explains. “Cycling permeates societies around the world: the bike grants independence and utility by providing emissions-free transportation, a means to wellness, recreation, and can form lasting social bonds. Without support, the viability of cycling as a professional sport, its benefits and the fabric that binds diverse social groups together, is at risk. We aim to reduce those risks and in turn grow the sport.”

The Pro Cyclist Foundation aims to give cyclists access to a trusted referral network of professionals with legal, wellness and career guidance expertise. The referral network is well-versed with the challenges professional cyclists face. A component of the Foundation’s budget will be used to offset the costs of essential services and resources cyclists need through financial assistance with needs-based grants.

This comprehensive referral network combined with needs-based financial assistance promotes development, a principal focus of the Foundation. “Our goal is to work directly with established organizations at the forefront of supporting rider well-being and development. We understand the structure of the sport, its limitations, and intend to improve on existing challenges that prohibit athletes from reaching their potential,” Dugan emphasized.

Greg Casals, the Chief Investment Officer for Black Swift added the following, “Having been involved in the support of cycling at the amateur level, I am excited to be working with Will Dugan and the management team he has put together to form a Foundation to support the professional athlete. We think professional cycling needs this type of independent support and advocacy, and are excited about building an endowment with support from the fan base that wants to see the sport thrive, from the professional level, all the way to the grassroots level of the sport.”

ABOUT THE PRO CYCLIST FOUNDATION

Inspired and founded by former professional cyclists, the Pro Cyclist Foundation’s mission is to offer professional cyclists improved access to legal, wellness and career services to benefit the sport of cycling at all levels. Led by Will Dugan and based in Denver, Colorado, the Foundation receives financial support from Black Swift Group, LLC. For additional information, please visit the Foundation’s website at http://www.procyclistfoundation.org.

Black Swift Group, LLC is an investment manager and SEC registered investment adviser founded in 2016 to offer investment management services with a single mandate: to aim for better risk-adjusted returns through custom solutions.

Excy Cranks Up the Power of Floor Cycling Cardio and Strength Training

“The Hang On Bar brings numerous new exercises to our lying down cycling capabilities and opens up more versatility for physical therapy, medical fitness, and advanced training” — Michele Mehl, Co-founder and CEO at Excy

SEATTLE (PRWEB)
September 16, 2020

Excy (http://www.excy.com), the leader in quality portable full-body cycling equipment, announced today the new Hang On Bar accessory for high force bi-directional leg cranking while lying down on the floor or in bed. Exclusively designed for Excy’s patented no-scoot portable exercise bikes, the Hang On Bar allows riders to leverage their upper body to aggressively pedal Excy while lying down to target muscles in the trunk, lower back, glutes, legs, calves, and feet from a supine cycling position. Excy also released a new dual-purpose hand and foot pedal for added convenience and comfort when switching between its upper and lower body cycling workouts.

“The ability to pedal Excy while lying down has been one of our most popular riding positions, whether it’s on the floor, in bed, or on a therapy table,” said Michele Mehl, co-founder and CEO of Excy. “For some, they pick this position for general fitness, but for others, it might be the only way they can exercise due to an injury, chronic pain, or a health condition that favors supine cycling. The Hang On Bar brings numerous new exercises to our lying down cycling capabilities and opens up more versatility for physical therapy, medical fitness, and advanced training.”

Designed and manufactured in the United States, Excy’s XCS 200 portable exercise bikes are uniquely built for heavy duty usage and offer a broad range of upper and lower body cycling workouts. In one system that folds for easy storage and transport, riders can use Excy as a recumbent exercise bike, upper body ergometer, step cycle, and a lying down bike. With 2-70 pounds of bi-directional resistance, Excy portable bikes are capable of light to athletic performance levels for cardio, strength training, and range of motion exercises. The secret to Excy’s durable design is its patented Keeper, a flexible durable material made of vinyl and coated fabric that simply uses the rider’s body weight to prevent the bike from scooting, whether in a kneeling, lying down, or sitting position. The new Hang On Bar simply attaches to the Keeper in seconds, allowing the rider to hold on and crank their legs at significantly higher forces while lying down compared to without it. The new Excy Hand Foot Pedal makes it easy and convenient for riders to rotate between pedaling their hands or feet without ever having to swap out the pedals.

Excy Hang On Bar: Ultimate Cardio and Strength Training Supine Cycling Experience

Excy has supported a supine cycling experience since launching its innovative device on Kickstarter, including helping customers improve circulation, preserve joint integrity, and prevent or attenuate lower-limb muscle weakness due to limited mobility. By introducing the Hang On Bar, riders can now crank up the power for Excy’s supine cycling workouts with higher levels of force that can be similar to weighted squats, leg presses, lunges and the like. Riders can start easy by simply grabbing the bar while pedaling to engage their core, then slightly increase the angle of the pelvis for more core engagement, and then lift their pelvis into a full bridge position to build greater endurance and strength. Resistance can be dialed up or down for cardio and/or strength training workouts with low impact on joints. It is ideal for slow motion high force cranking to build total body strength, with a specific focus on engaging the core, glutes, and legs.

Excy Hand Foot Pedal: Ultimate Convenient and Comfortable Dual Purpose Pedal

The new Excy Hand Foot Pedal now ships standard with every Excy purchase. One side includes a soft cushion for an ergonomically correct and comfortable hand cycling position. Riders can simply turn the pedal around and pedal with their feet with a wide platform base to comfortably pedal barefoot, in socks, or with shoes. The Excy Hand Foot Pedal works with any 9/16” crank arm.

Pricing and Availability

The Excy Hang on Bar retails for $79.95. The new dual purpose hand and foot pedal ships standard with all Excy XCS 200 systems, but is available for purchase for $69. Excy portable exercise bikes start at $699. Rent-to-own and monthly rental programs are also available. Excy also provides a free mobile coaching application for Android and iOS with live, on-demand, and guided training from physical therapists.

About Excy

Excy is a Seattle-based company creating quality portable exercise equipment and on-demand training for those who want to safely and conveniently enjoy the benefits of full body cycling and resistance training without the barriers of big, expensive, and hard to access exercise equipment. Excy also provides a free mobile coaching application for Android and iOS with live, on-demand, and guided training from physical therapists. All Excy systems ship in recyclable packaging.

OMAHA, Neb. (PRWEB)
September 16, 2020

As September marks the sixth month of social distancing measures nationwide, the strain placed on the aging population continues to grow – leaving older adults with dementia more agitated and restless, and family caregivers at a loss for how to keep their loved ones safe and healthy.

While caring for an individual with memory loss requires a great deal of time and patience year-round, the coronavirus has placed a unique set of emotional and physical demands on Alzheimer’s and dementia caregivers, with nearly 82% reporting higher stress due to COVID-19 in a recent study by UsAgainstAlzheimer’s A-LIST.

“The pandemic has upended our normal way of life. For those supporting a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, it’s no surprise that stress is at an all-time high,” said Lakelyn Hogan, gerontologist and caregiver advocate at Home Instead Senior Care. “However, no one should feel the need to travel this journey alone. There are many online communities and resources available to guide them.”

September is World Alzheimer’s Month, a good reminder to refresh your care approach and evaluate the areas where you may need assistance. Hogan suggests incorporating the following tips into your daily care routine to empower individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias and establish a positive environment:

• Encourage healthy habits. Many people living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias have pre-existing medical conditions that put them at a higher risk for COVID-19. Remind them to stay healthy with the help of visual cues like regular handwashing or covering your mouth while coughing. For another nudge, hang signs near kitchen and bathroom sinks with simple instructions, such as “wash your hands.”
• Build structure into the day. A routine not only benefits the individual, it can also improve the productivity and emotional well-being of their caregiver. Basic patterns subconsciously guide our bodies through the day. Explore new activities that engage the senior’s mind and body – host an afternoon tea, organize items in your closet or take part in a daily exercise class via YouTube or other online channels. If you are social distancing from one another, set a regular time each day to connect through phone or video chat.
• Create a safe space. Those receiving care are often very in tune with their caregiver’s emotions. If you are anxious or upset, your family member will likely feel it, too. Keep your stress levels in check by taking the Caregiver StressMeter assessment. If you’re someone who likes to keep the television on throughout the day, make time for positive programming (such as documentaries and musicals) instead of daily news shows. Evaluate the best level of information to share about topics such as COVID-19 and consider creating a script that other members of the family can use when answering difficult questions.
• Brainstorm a backup plan. A recent study found that 73% of people caring for an individual with Alzheimer’s disease at home are unsure what would happen to their loved one if they as the caregiver contracted COVID-19. By creating a short- and long-term plan, you can help ensure the proper plan is in place and reduce the stress of decision-making under pressure. Assemble important documents and keep a record of key information, should you need to enlist an alternate carer.
• Seek out support. Supporting an individual with Alzheimer’s disease can evoke a variety of emotions and take a heavy toll on even the most resilient caregivers. Using resources or respite services doesn’t mean you have failed. In fact, asking for help can often be a gift to both yourself and your family member. You will be a better caregiver when you take moments to rest, eat healthy meals and lean on a support system.

Above all, remember you know your family member best. Release any pressure you’re placing on yourself to memorize an exact list of tips in order to be a good caregiver – use what you know and admire about your loved one to guide your care and connect with them in meaningful ways. Take each day as it comes, and don’t be afraid to reach out for help if stress starts to wear down your physical or mental health.

With the right resources and support, you can set yourself up for success and provide the right level of care. To learn more, visit http://www.helpforalzheimersfamilies.com.
