The Henry Ford Launches Initiative to Collect America’s Stories of Innovation and Resourcefulness During Pandemic

Leave a comment



DEARBORN, Mich. (PRWEB)

The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic that we are currently facing is an extraordinarily significant moment in our history. It connects our nation’s past with its present and future – revealing who we were before, who we are today, and who we will become in the future. To acknowledge these challenging times, The Henry Ford has launched a rapid response collecting initiative focusing on how Americans have responded to this continually changing crisis with resilience, creativity and innovative approaches.

“The Henry Ford’s collections have always documented America’s creative genius and can-do spirit, and now, during this unprecedented crisis, we are seeing this in action every day,” said Patricia Mooradian, president & CEO, The Henry Ford. “It’s invaluable that we capture and collect these stories now to inspire others to problem solve, learn from mistakes and help shape a brighter future.”

Using the filter of its mission, The Henry Ford’s collecting will focus on 3D objects, photographs and archival materials of the COVID-19 pandemic that reflect how we are being innovative, how we are being resourceful, and how entrepreneurs are using their ingenuity to both address people’s needs and remain sustainable.

Examples include: items created by businesses shifting to produce needed medical products, tools and products designed to address the crisis; items documenting grass-roots efforts to thank essential/medical employees; and items that document national trends in responses to everyday activities including grocery shopping, celebrating milestones and holidays, and keeping connected virtually.

Due to social distancing, we are currently unable to accept items in person. For more information on how to contribute to the collection visit https://www.thehenryford.org/covid-19-collections.

While its venues are temporarily closed, The Henry Ford’s digital collections are wide open and guests can visit https://www.thehenryford.org/explore-learn-online/ to access inspiring content.

CentralReach Selects OpFocus to Fix Existing CPQ Issues and Build Out Powerful New Implementation

Leave a comment


News Image

OpFocus is encyclopedic about CPQ. They also have an inherent sense of the data and insights a SaaS company needs. OpFocus knew exactly how to implement what we needed in order to get the most value out of CPQ.


BURLINGTON, Mass. (PRWEB)

OpFocus, a leading Salesforce implementation consultancy for SaaS companies, today announced that CentralReach engaged it to fix existing Salesforce Configure Price Quote (CPQ) issues and build out a powerful new implementation. OpFocus helped the health technology provider gain critical insights into its sales movement and client contracts. CentralReach creates renewals and amendments nearly instantly and processes deals 75 percent faster. Using CPQ, the company helps Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) practitioners quickly obtain the capabilities needed to meet changing business requirements during the pandemic.

CPQ is deemed essential by many SaaS companies. It makes it easy to track subscriptions and key metrics like monthly recurring revenue (MRR) and annual recurring revenue (ARR). CentralReach had hired a consultancy to implement CPQ. However, according to Ben Bryer, CentralReach’s Director of Business Operations, it quickly became apparent CPQ wasn’t configured the way it should have been. CentralReach couldn’t rely on CPQ and had to do workarounds.

“The benefits we could get if CPQ was implemented correctly were too vital to have us continue with the previous vendor. The moment I realized they weren’t cutting it I knew I had to engage OpFocus,” said Bryer. “OpFocus is encyclopedic about CPQ. They also have an inherent sense of the data and insights a SaaS company needs. OpFocus knew exactly how to implement what we needed in order to get the most value out of CPQ. Their experience and knowledge made the decision a no-brainer.”

The OpFocus engagement began by identifying and fixing existing CPQ implementation problems. Then they tackled the build out. Today, CentralReach realizes game-changing benefits:

Trustworthy, Reliable Data, All in One Place

Before, it was difficult to get an accurate handle on things like renewals, which could include new products, expansion or contraction of existing products, and products falling off the order. “Now we see and do everything in one place. And we know the data is reliable,” Bryer said.

New Insights into the State of the Business

CentralReach can confidentially look at an account and see what the client is subscribed to. In addition, they can easily see whether they’re making money on a deal, or if it’s a net neutral or negative deal. They can see where business is growing and dropping. They can measure product churn and easily determine MRR and ARR.

Simplifies and Speeds Processes

CPQ’s data accuracy and automation deliver time savings across the board. For instance, CPQ instantly creates renewals. And to make amendments, the reps just press a button. The finance team processes deals 75 percent faster since they no longer have to do a lot of manual investigation. In addition, the Financial Planning & Accounting function, which handles reporting for the executive team and the board, expects to cut report creation time in half.

Enhances Ability to Meet Clients’ Evolving Needs

CentralReach’s clients are making changes to adjust to COVID-19 realities, such as shifting to telehealth. When they request new items from CentralReach, they need them urgently. “CPQ increases our visibility into what our clients currently have and what additional solutions can make it easier for them to serve their own customers,” said Bryer. “Our reps don’t have to ask clients as many questions. They don’t waste time on paperwork or sifting through form fields. CPQ helps us help our clients by eliminating as much friction as possible.”

“CentralReach serves an important audience: practitioners who help people with autism. Knowing how vital CPQ is to their business, we’re thrilled they chose OpFocus to ‘rescue’ and extend their implementation,” said David Carnes, Founder and CEO of OpFocus. “Helping CentralReach execute on their CPQ vision and to realize such significant benefits was extremely rewarding.”

The PowerHitter Company Petitions U.S. Customs and Border Protection Seizure

Leave a comment


The PowerHitter

What happened to The PowerHitter Company™ is yet another example of how this incongruous patchwork of state, local, and federal law leaves people unsure, uncertain, and unable to run an effective legal business without a tangled web of issues.


SEATTLE (PRWEB)

The PowerHitter™ http://www.thepowerhitter.com, the iconic hand-operated smoking gadget popularized over the past four decades, was seized by US Customs and Border Protection in November 2019. Approximately $315,000 worth of inventory currently remains seized, The seizure – Case Number: 2020300200003401 – is currently being petitioned by The PowerHitter™ Company.

The PowerHitter™ was first created in the 70’s and has become a 40 year old phenomenon, providing countless health and social benefits for smokers of all ages. The revolutionary product is globally known as the quickest and easiest way to extract the maximum potential from a smoke without mess or hazard.

The PowerHitter™ Company spokesman Allen Stein states, “In addition to state law protections, Medical Cannabis is protected from DEA enforcement in states where it is legal, and all Hemp/CBD is federally legal due to the 2018 Farm Act. This seizure could place the US Customs and Border Protection at odds with these laws and we would like to see our petition responded to.”

Discovered and relaunched by Stein — a true fan of the product who was introduced to The PowerHitter in his college days, he searched for years to find it again. His company has taken the original classic design and updated it with modern materials to create the next generation of the ultimate smoking device. Since its inception, The PowerHitter has successfully prevented burns and fires by encasing today’s pre-rolls (cannabis, CBD or tobacco) in its inner shell. Additionally, in this time where virus transmission and health concerns are top of mind, this device allows for a safer method of sharing a smoke with family and loved ones.

Deemed legally essential by over 15 states, cannabis and CBD are medically recommended for a large portion of the US population. Administered as a sleep aid, stress relief, and anti-anxiety relief, the essential plant derivatives are needed more than ever as people experience emotional extremes from the current global health and economic issues we’re all faced with.

“This has not been an individual isolated problem, it is industry wide and something needs to be done, especially given the current medical need,” adds Jared Mirsky of Seattle-based branding agency Wick & Mortar and longtime evangelist of The PowerHitter. “The data shows that more and more cannabis, CBD and tobacco have been a much needed essential for US citizens who need emotional relief as we deal with this global crisis. We need government action to increase smoking safety during this time to prevent further hazards.”

Stein and The PowerHitter Company™ have done their best in attempting to weather the storm through creative means including their crowdfunding campaign which just ended at http://www.thepowerhitter.com and are thankful for the outpouring of support from the legal cannabis and hemp industry across the world.

ABOUT THE POWERHITTER:

Since the ‘70’s, the PowerHitter™ has been known as the quickest and easiest way to extract the maximum potential from smoke. This classic design was updated by PowerHitter engineers with modern materials and some incredible tweaks creating the next generation of this ultimate smoking device. Follow them at @powerhitterco.

What Exactly is Whiplash and How Do I Know if I Need to See a Doctor?

Leave a comment


Dr. Kaliq Chang

Bones in the spine, ligaments, muscles, nerves, vertebral discs and other tissues of the neck can all be injured from whiplash, when someone’s head is quickly and forcefully thrust backward and forward.


WEST ORANGE, N.J. (PRWEB)

Whiplash may be a literal pain in the neck, but this common injury is no run-of-the-mill condition. That’s why whiplash often requires a doctor’s diagnosis and treatment advice, according to Kaliq Chang, MD, of Atlantic Spine Center.

An estimated 120,000 cases of whiplash occur in the United States every year, usually resulting from a rear-end auto accident but also from sports accidents or other types of trauma. Whiplash gets its catchy name from the whip-like, rapid back-and-forth neck movement that triggers the injury, which can also have significant and lingering effects on the spine.

“Bones in the spine, ligaments, muscles, nerves, vertebral discs and other tissues of the neck can all be injured from whiplash, when someone’s head is quickly and forcefully thrust backward and forward,” explains Dr. Chang, an interventional pain management specialist. “Ruling out fractures or other tissue damage that prompts symptoms is a serious matter.”

Whiplash symptoms

Some people who suffer whiplash don’t experience immediate symptoms, Dr. Chang says. But usually, symptoms develop within 24 hours and can include:


  • Neck pain and stiffness

  • Headaches that usually start at the base of the skill

  • Worse neck pain when the neck is moved

  • Less range of motion in the neck

  • Pain or tenderness of the shoulders, upper back or arms

  • Numbness or tingling in the arms

  • Dizziness

  • Fatigue

“Whiplash symptoms are no joke,” Dr. Chang says. “In all but the most minor cases of whiplash, symptoms can make it difficult to do normal activities without pain. That’s why a proper diagnosis, often with an MRI, and prompt treatment are crucial.”

When to see a doctor

As Dr. Chang says, seeing a doctor for whiplash is necessary in all except minor cases. Often, the car accident, sports injury or other traumatic injury that caused your whiplash will be followed by a trip to the hospital or a doctor’s office anyway.

“When you’re being examined, make sure you clearly explain how severe your neck pain is, what movements make it worse, and any neck pain you’ve experienced in the past,” Dr. Chang advises. “Offering a detailed explanation of your symptoms and history will help guide your doctor’s approach to imaging tests and other ways of assessing your condition.”

Treating whiplash often goes beyond the soft foam cervical collars that were once the standard therapy, Dr. Chang says, since they’re now used less often or for shorter periods. That’s because recent research suggests that keeping the neck immobile for long periods actually slows healing.

Other whiplash treatments might include applying ice or heat; taking over-the-counter or prescription painkillers or muscle relaxants; or receiving injections of a numbing medication into painful tissues. Physical therapy is often an important part of whiplash recovery as well, Dr. Chang notes.

“The goal is to restore the range of motion in your neck and upper body so you can move again with no pain,” Dr. Chang explains. “Whiplash can be much more than a pain in the neck when it comes to recovering, but fortunately, nearly everyone who experiences this injury will recover fully.”

Jacksonville-based Healthcare Technology Company Forcura to add 115 Jobs, Open New Corporate Headquarters

Leave a comment


Craig Mandeville, Founder, and CEO, Forcura

“I am sincerely dedicated to elevating Jacksonville’s profile as a technology hub, and am excited to make sure more people recognize our city as the best place for entrepreneurs to launch and scale their companies.” Craig Mandeville, Forcura Founder and CEO


JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (PRWEB)

Forcura, a healthcare technology company that enables safer patient care transitions along the care continuum, announces that it plans to create 115 jobs in Jacksonville by the end of 2022. The company will receive taxpayer-backed incentives from the City and State to expand its staff and maintain Jacksonville as its corporate headquarters. The Jacksonville City Council unanimously approved the economic development agreement in March as Project Graph.

“Congratulations to Forcura on their selection of Jacksonville for their new corporate headquarters,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “Florida continues to be a leader in economic opportunity and innovation because of our business-friendly environment and talent pipeline. Companies like Forcura recognize this because they are confident they have opportunities for growth.”

“I am proud to join my colleagues in City Council to support this project and thank Forcura and their leadership team for committing to Jacksonville,” said Mayor Lenny Curry. “This investment will bring 115 high-skilled jobs to our city and increase Jacksonville’s prominence as a hub for innovation and technology in the healthcare sector.”

Forcura was founded in Jacksonville in 2012 by Craig Mandeville, who started the cloud-based software company to modernize documentation, workflows and secure communications for post-acute health care providers. The company has since expanded into data and analytics and expects to offer workflow automation products powered by artificial intelligence this year. It currently employs 73 people in Jacksonville.

“Our company’s mission to empower better patient care actually started in 2012 when I observed my wife’s frustrations in transferring paperwork between Mayo Clinic’s Jacksonville campus and her home health employer. I knew technology would radically improve the process,” said Forcura’s Mandeville. “Our company’s origins are here in Jacksonville, and in the eight years since, the city has provided incredible talent, mentoring and business community support that have directly impacted our success. I am sincerely dedicated to elevating Jacksonville’s profile as a technology hub, and am excited to make sure more people recognize our city as the best place for entrepreneurs to launch and scale their companies.”

To accommodate its rapidly expanding business, Forcura also plans to open its new 30,000 square foot headquarters at 10151 Deerwood Park Boulevard sometime this fall, depending on when COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. Connie Turner Interiors has been contracted to design a full floor buildout. The company plans to invest $2.15 million in improvements and equipment and make the office a reflection of its dynamic employee culture.

“I am pleased to take part in today’s exciting announcement with Forcura and the addition of 115 new jobs to the Jacksonville community,” said Jamal Sowell, Florida Secretary of Commerce and President & CEO of Enterprise Florida, Inc. “We appreciate all the men and women working to improve the health of Floridians and look forward to Forcura’s continued success here in Florida.”

“Forcura is an example of an innovative, local company that’s taken off here and is choosing to continue to grow here in Jacksonville,” said JAXUSA President Aundra Wallace. “We’re growing an innovation ecosystem here and homegrown businesses like Forcura are incredible ambassadors for our community as we look to attract and grow tech investment and talent.”

DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences Unveils Brewing Liquefaction Enzyme Solution AMYLEX® 6T

Leave a comment


News Image

“Our enzymes help breweries adapt to various barriers, while maximizing efficiency, consistency and quality in every brew.” Jens Eiken, global product manager, Brewing & Distilling Enzymes, DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences


WILMINGTON, Del. (PRWEB)

DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences (DuPont) has announced a new enzyme solution for adjunct liquefaction: AMYLEX® 6T. The innovative enzyme enables numerous business gains for breweries and distilleries alike including the ability to expand into new segments with locally-sourced raw materials, improve productivity, maximize yield, ensure consistent quality and ultimately increase profitability.

“Every brewer faces unique challenges that can have significant impacts on brewing processes ranging from climatic conditions to variations in raw material availability and quality,” said Jens Eiken, global product manager, Brewing & Distilling Enzymes, DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences. “Our enzymes help breweries adapt to various barriers, while maximizing efficiency, consistency and quality in every brew. For distillers, the emphasis is on continuous process improvement and higher productivity, yet the advantages are similar to those for breweries.”

AMYLEX® 6T is the latest enzyme to meet the mark, precisely engineered with a high proportion of endo-alpha-amylase-activity to specifically target viscosity reduction, even for tannin-rich raw materials like sorghum which de-risks process issues. For brewers using 100% corn, it offers an even higher extract yield.

This novel solution also requires very low dosage, delivering 20% lower peak viscosity than the benchmark, up to 20% shorter liquefaction time at a very broad pH range (from pH 4.8 to 6.0) and a a higher-than-normal “first time right,” reducing the risk of costly production re-runs and wasted product. This enables potential for higher profits, additional opportunities for brewers to get creative with their brews and for distilleries to improve performance.

“Of course, the correct dosage of AMYLEX® 6T varies according to local conditions, adjunct type, water-to-grist ratio and brewing protocols,” added Eiken. “But its trial performance has been outstanding; we’ve experienced a significantly higher extract yield with a lower dosage of AMYLEX® 6T, as compared to the benchmark.”
