HashCash Helping Companies Streamline Post-COVID Manufacturing Via Integrated Digital Solutions

Leave a comment


The manufacturing sector needs to evolve to meet the existing COVID challenges and scale-up to suffice the post-pandemic reformation happening across sectors. Leveraging the new age technologies, we can reinvent the legacy architecture and create a better future for the industry.


PALO ALTO, Calif. (PRWEB)

The USA based, HashCash Consultants is addressing the legacy manufacturing issues by offering businesses with sustainable and cutting-edge digital solutions for a futuristic reformation of production units.

During the COVID-19 induced lockdown period, substantial problems were faced by manufacturing facilities across sectors, affecting the global supply chain. With social distancing protocols still prevalent, industries are having a hard time to resume full production ability. They are seeking modifications within the existing architecture to comply with the 6-feet-apart rule without hampering the operations, which HashCash is ready to suffice with its specialized offerings of advanced digital solutions.

“The manufacturing sector needs to evolve to meet the existing COVID challenges and scale-up to suffice the post-pandemic reformation happening across sectors. Leveraging the new age technologies, we can reinvent the legacy architecture and create a better future for the industry,” commented Raj Chowdhury, CEO, HashCash Consultants.

The majority of the existing processes in manufacturing units even in the most developed parts of the world are heavily dependent on manual operations and floor supervision. It is very hard and, in some cases, next to impossible to maintain social distancing among the workers to prevent new cases of contagion.

Months of staying under lockdown have already heavily affected the manufacturing industry creating an imbalance in the global supply and demand chain, not to mention causing thousands to lose their source of income. Businesses at the moment are seeking solutions that will improve production, making up for the loss and fortify the system in a way to make it crisis resistant for the future.

HashCash Consultants has extended help to businesses empowering them with advanced digital and automation solution that not only promises to streamline and reinvent the legacy processes, but also reduce the overall operational cost.

In this hour of need, HashCash is helping businesses big and small, with sustainable digital solutions to improve production and supply. Their specialized offerings include:

5. Improved collaboration with highly intuitive virtual communication tools creates a dynamic work ecosystem.

Berlin Film Festival Directors Say German Film Industry Faces Significant Challenges Before and After Pandemic

Leave a comment



NEW YORK (PRWEB)

The experience of making or watching a film in a cinema is all about groups of people coming together to collaborate on art. Then came the COVID-19 pandemic and physical distancing. “The German film industry came to a halt in March, says Mariette Rissenbeek, Executive Director of the Berlin International Film Festival (BIFF). That is, “all stages of the film business, exhibition, production, financing – cinemas closed down, film and tv production was stopped.”

Mariette Rissenbeek and Carlo Chatrian (Artistic Director, BIFF) joined C.M.Rubin, Founder of CMRubinWorld, to talk about movie-making and movie marketing during a pandemic. “Everyone is looking for the right way to respect COVID-19 restrictions on set without damaging the film,” says Rissenbeek.

Rissenbeek and Chatrian are focused on joining forces with cinemas to strengthen the power of cinema. “It is too early to judge whether “normality” will return to the cinema on a short or mid-term. It is likely we will have to cope with restrictions for the next 8 or 10 months,” adds Chatrian.

Read the full article.

Mariette Rissenbeek and Carlo Chatrian are the Co-Directors of the Berlin Film Festival. It is one of the largest public and most important film festivals in the world, attracting tens of thousands of visitors from around the globe each year. The festival was created for the Berlin public in 1951, at the beginning of the Cold War, as a “showcase of the free world.”

CMRubinWorld’s award-winning series, The Global Search for Education, brings together distinguished thought leaders in education and innovation from around the world to explore the key learning issues faced by most nations. The series has become a highly visible platform for global discourse on 21st century learning, and offers a diverse range of innovative ideas presented by the series founder, C. M.

Promises Behavioral Health Announces the Addition of the Illness Management and Recovery Model to Its Family of Treatment Facilities

Leave a comment


Promises Behavioral Health adds Illness Management and Recovery to program curriculum

“We are aiming to drive toward a more scientific and evidence-based approach to treatment for all disorders, no matter if that is mental health, addiction, or trauma. It’s our goal to raise the bar on offering sophisticated treatment.”


BRENTWOOD, Tenn. (PRWEB)

Promises Behavioral Health, a growing provider of comprehensive behavioral health and substance abuse treatment services has announced the addition of the Illness Management and Recovery program to its family of treatment facilities. The program will be integrated into the larger treatment curriculum at each facility to provide programming that covers the needs for both addiction and mental health recovery.

Illness Management and Recovery (IMR) is an evidence-based treatment option that addresses acute psychiatric disorders for those struggling with profound depression, anxiety, bipolar, or schizophrenia. Many clients working through addiction have a tendency for strong co-occurrence with these mental health illnesses and underlying trauma. By adding IMR to Promises’ family of treatment centers, they are able to broaden their range of services and offer a higher level of psychiatric education and management by providing structured coping tools. In this way, clients are empowered with the knowledge of their own illness and have better control of how to maintain a higher level of health.

“My hope is that our staff at our treatment facilities feel that they have the tools to treat these complex cases and that the perception in the community is that we don’t just focus on addiction treatment,” remarked Tiffany Dzioba, Corporate Director of Clinical Services.

Tiffany goes on, “We are aiming to drive toward a more scientific and evidence-based approach to treatment for all disorders, no matter if that is mental health, addiction, or trauma. It’s our goal to raise the bar on offering sophisticated treatment.”

By implementing a more co-occurring approach towards treatment, Promises Behavioral Health and its family of addiction and mental health treatment facilities can work towards a more cohesive curriculum that empowers clients to heal through education, management and self-advocacy.

About Promises Behavioral Health

Promises Behavioral Health is a family of behavioral health programs with regional brands such as The Right Step, The Ranch, and Promises. The company currently operates facilities across Texas, Tennessee, Florida, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Promises offers comprehensive, innovative treatment for substance abuse, sexual addiction, trauma, eating disorders, and other mental health disorders. Through its programs, the company is committed to delivering clinically sophisticated treatment that promotes permanent lifestyle change, not only for the patient but for the entire family network.

AutismOne 2020 Virtual Summit Attracts Over 10,000 Attendees

Leave a comment


News Image

Parents came with questions and went away with hope because now they know autism is medical and treatable.


SAN MATEO, Calif. (PRWEB)

One minute it was business as usual, and the next, schools were closed, international travel was restricted, and “social distancing” entered the lexicon. COVID-19 turned the world on its head, and everything ground to a halt. But some information is too important to stay “sheltered in place.”

The AutismOne annual conference went from a physical event to a virtual one in seven weeks, following the time in late March when hotels were closing and conferences were being cancelled. The virtual platform, where the conference opened online and on time, began Wednesday, May 20th.

“We wanted to map as much as possible of the physical conference to its virtual form,” said Ed Arranga, AutismOne’s president and co-founder. “It was important to keep the same ‘look and feel,’” Arranga continued, “to maintain the sense of community and shared experiences, from chatting with friends to attending lectures to joining the yoga classes in the mornings. We had a great team that worked around the clock,” Arranga said, “and the next event will be even better.”

Candyce Estave, AutismOne’s communications director, was delighted about how well the more than 100 lectures went. “We are tremendously pleased,” Estave said, “that attendees were able to get the most up-to-date information from the world’s leading experts. Parents came with questions and went away with hope because now they know autism is medical and treatable.”

An AutismOne 2020 Summit speaker summed it up well when he said the virtual summit had its glitches but was a HUGE success. Ed Arranga agreed: “The autism community needs to keep moving forward. We’ve had the privilege of educating thousands of parents and professionals, but now we have the tools and technology to educate a far greater number, and we will.”

Powerful Daily Routines to Boost your Brain, Lift Your Mood, and Strengthen Your Immunity During Uncertain and Stressful Times

Leave a comment


Mindfulness meditation influences biological processes involved in enhancing immune defenses that protect against viral and bacterial infections.


AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB)

When it comes to starting the average week, most of us simply try to power through Monday morning from start to end. Optimistically confronting our most challenging task first. When we’re done with our first undertaking, we quickly move on to the next and so on.

Do you experience high demands at work with little or no control of each task? “Ten minutes of meditation or meditative journaling in the morning and ten minutes during lunch improves your emotional awareness and ability to work under severe stress—a great asset in the physical or virtual workplace these days,” says Carter.

“Incorporating just ten minutes of putting pen to paper can have a hugely beneficial impact on your day,” says Carter, “fewer visits to the doctor, increased self-awareness, improved mood/affect, and feeling of greater psychological well-being are just a few of the documented benefits.” “A great way to start your day is mindfully writing down your near-term goals, as we have seen with creating more self-discipline and forming empowering habits,” says Dr. Kirti Salwe Carter, co-author with her husband, Dr. Rob Carter, of The Morning Mind: Use Your Brain to Master Your Day and Supercharge Your Life (http://www.themorningmind.com)

Carter has four creative techniques to wake up your brain in the morning and lift your mood during this uncertainty and stressful time:

1. Write about an event that impacted you deeply. “Describe in detail an event that affected you emotionally,” says Carter, “write as much detail as you can about what you felt, how the experience impacted you, and how you felt before and then after the experience.”

2. Write a detailed account of someone you know. “Describe someone you know well, writing a quick biography of that person’s life as you know it and your relationship with him or her,” says Carter “what life experiences has this person been through that shaped who they are? How did you meet?” “Alternatively, do the same exercise but invent a fictional character and your relationship with him or her,” says Carter.

3. Describe in detail an object in front of you. “Write about any object of your choice in as much detail as you can, including shape, color, function, and so on,” says Carter, “let your imagination take you beyond what you can see in front of you, allowing yourself to add fantastical and fun details.” For example, I have a toaster in my creativity with writing kitchen that is metallic and has recently been colonized by a group of tiny aliens that are siphoning off the heat from when I make a toast to power their thumb sized spacecraft.

4. Write about your perfect morning. “Write an entry about what your perfect morning would look like,” says Carter “what activities would you fit into it, what would you have for breakfast and how would you feel?” “This is an excellent visualization exercise that can assist in stimulating creativity and ideas about what you’d like to get out of mornings in a perfect world,” says Carter.

Mindful writing helps us more purposefully pay attention to all facets of life. Meditative journaling allows us to get our most precious thoughts out without allowing them to get lost in a sea of emotions.” Give your 100% during the writing exercise. You will begin to notice that you are getting much more out of the experience than a simple journal entry.

Divi Resorts Introduces New “Clean Check” Program to Prepare for Reopening

Leave a comment


Divi Resorts' New CLEAN CHECK Program

Divi Resorts’ New CLEAN CHECK Program

At Divi Resorts, cleanliness and safety standards have always been at the forefront of our company policies and built into the very fabric of our daily routines. We sincerely care about the health and wellbeing of our guests and team members, and their safety is a top priority.


CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (PRWEB)

For over 50 years, Divi Resorts has been a leader in the Caribbean with an active focus on implementing strict cleaning and hygiene protocols at all of their resorts to ensure guests enjoy healthy and safe vacations. The company has reviewed every area of their health and cleanliness procedures to safeguard and protect both guests and staff and address changing consumer expectations ahead of reopening on Aruba, Barbados, Bonaire and St. Maarten.

Divi’s stringent new CLEAN CHECK program follows the recommendations of the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Ministries of Health on each island.

“At Divi Resorts, cleanliness and safety standards have always been at the forefront of our company policies and built into the very fabric of our daily routines. We sincerely care about the health and wellbeing of our guests and team members, and their safety is a top priority,” said Marco Galaverna, President and COO of Divi Resorts. “Over our many years in business, we’ve stayed focused on serving our loyal guests and hiring, training and caring for a talented, top-notch talented team. Both our guests and staff have become family, and we treat one another accordingly. It’s something we take great pride in.”

Divi’s CLEAN CHECK program safeguards each guests’ stay from arrival to departure across all points of contact and ensures additional cleanliness and hygiene measures are taken throughout each of the company’s resort locations.

“We want our guests to focus on what they have always enjoyed, making fantastic vacation memories, relaxing with loved ones and cherishing every moment with friends and family,” Galaverna added. “Every staff member is committed to doing everything they can to provide a clean, healthy and safe environment for our guests, as well as protecting themselves as outlined in our new CLEAN CHECK program.”

New Physical Distancing Practices

At Divi Resorts’ destinations, the CLEAN CHECK program ensures physical distancing recommendations are followed in areas like lobbies and restaurants where floor decals and roped off areas will guide guests where to stand while in line. At the pools and on the beach, chairs will be spaced out at safe distances around shaded areas. Restaurants and bars will have tables and chairs set further apart, and all resort activities, from diving to golf have new protocols in place. Bellman shuttles will have reduced capacity and guests will be required to sit behind the drivers. When using elevators, only one couple or family will be allowed to ride together.

Divi’s Focused on Every Touchpoint

The CLEAN CHECK program covers twelve key touchpoints:


  • Front Desk, Concierge & Bellman

  • Guest Rooms

  • Housekeeping & Laundry

  • Restaurants & Bars

  • Activities & Amenities

  • Swimming Pools & Hot Tubs

  • Fitness Centers

  • Public Areas

  • Resort Maintenance

  • Banqueting & Events

  • Staff Training & Back of House

  • Vendors & Incoming Deliveries

Guests can spot the CLEAN CHECK symbol throughout Divi’s destinations, from unit door seals confirming a room is ready for occupancy, to signage with helpful distancing and sanitation guidelines. The company wants guests to have confidence every time they book a Divi Resorts vacation with peace of mind from check-in to farewell.

Warm Welcome Guarantee

At Divi Resorts, each staff member has always been deeply engaged in meeting and warmly greeting guests. To continue this tradition, Divi’s staff will now meet, greet and thank all guests with a hand on their heart. The company hopes this safe and meaningful gesture will convey not only a warm welcome, but also a sign of our appreciation.

Book with Confidence

When Divi’s islands and resorts reopen, and the public is prepared to travel, the company is ready to offer guests the Caribbean vacation they’ve always dreamed of.

“Travelers can book with confidence knowing that they’re getting the best deal with our Best Price Guarantee,” Galaverna explains. “And if your plans change, our Worry-Free Cancel Anytime policy lets you rebook your 2020 reservation or cancel with no penalties. You’ll only pay the difference if your reservation is rescheduled during peak travel dates. Plus, our Pay Over Time program lets guests book now and pay later, and we also offer a way for travelers to protect their trip with travel insurance.”

Divi is currently offering fantastic deals at all of their resorts with travel through December 20, 2020. Now through June 30, 2020, travelers can score 30% off room only and all-inclusive rates. Plus, travelers who register for the company’s new Divi Devotion Discount program will instantly receive an extra 5% off on all new reservations made through June 30, 2020.

“You’ll fall in love with our soft white sand beaches, stunning vistas, sparkling pools, delicious food and drinks, socially responsible amenities, and fun activities,” said Galaverna. “And we back our stellar offerings with the best practices and policies that help guests book with confidence online at http://www.diviresorts.com or with the assistance of our reservations department.”

AICR has taken the latest research and made 10 Cancer Prevention Recommendations to help people live healthier lives.

Jeffrey Hasham, Chief Executive Officer of PROSHRED®, commented, “The first week of June is a special time for us at PROSHRED® as our locations come together to hold paper shredding events in their local communities to contribute to the work AICR does. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we have moved our events to the fall of 2020, in most locations that will be October 10, 2020. During this time, we hope to continue to raise awareness and support AICR through online engagement. We hope to see everyone on October 10 to celebrate our 7th annual nationwide event.
