Berico Fuels Appoints Fourth Generation Company President

GREENSBORO, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Founded by W.N. Berry in 1924, Berico Fuels recently named its sixth Berry to be the company's president. Will Berry is fourth generation and does not take the position for granted.

Will did not originally set out to work in the family business. After getting his master's degree at Michigan State, he worked in the real estate development business for five years. Ready for a change, Will and his father, Tom Berry, Berico's current CEO, said that he and his son traveled the country studying franchises as they sought out new business opportunities together. They looked at the books and analyzed many different opportunities.

"After studying various franchises, my father and our other partner, John Fuquay, approached me on my interest in joining Berico," Will says. "After considerable thought I agreed to join Berico in 2011."

Since then, he's helped grow the multiple company divisions and has cultivated valuable employee relationships. He bought into the partnership in 2017.

"I could not have done any of this without the direction and mentorship of my father and John, the company's current Chairman of the Board. John gave 50 years of service to this business and he's one of the most dedicated people I know," Will says. "I've got some big shoes to fill."

With no signs of slowing down, Will is looking to a future of smart growth - one that focuses on company culture, values relationships and positions them as a regional energy leader. He's committed to Berico's mantra - "Always dependable" - and adds, "I will always work to keep our employees and our customers happy."

"I realized early on that I needed to give 120 percent effort to show the other employees I wasn't looking for the silver-spoon per-say," he says.

About Berico Fuels

Berico Fuels started out in the coal business delivering and servicing clients via its horse-drawn buggies. Today, it has more than 100 employees and has been through numerous acquisitions; six in the last six years. The company, and its subsidiaries, Alamance Oil and Carolina Fuels, deliver residential heating fuels and propane, commercial fuels and lubricants, and HVAC service within the Greensboro Triad Area.

Since its inception, Berico has tried to be the "always dependable" company for home comfort through its various avenues of business. Each generation of the business has been deeply rooted in giving back to the local community. Berico is particularly proud of its "Gift of Warmth" campaign, raising and matching over $50,000 in donations to the Salvation Army; helping the less fortunate to heat their homes each winter.

NED Biosystems Announces Leading Infectious Disease Research Scientist Michael Mansour, MD, PhD To Serve as Medical Advisor

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- NED Biosystems, an innovative clinical-stage biotech company developing therapies for cancer and the novel coronavirus, is pleased to announce that Michael Mansour, MD, PhD, will serve as the Company's Medical Advisor of Infectious Disease. Dr. Mansour brings a wealth of expertise in infectious disease research where he leads an independent laboratory at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). He is a leading authority guiding investigative studies on COVID-19 treatments and biomarkers which includes serving as Principal Investigator for Phase 3 COVID-19 studies.

As Medical Advisor, Dr. Mansour will direct NED's clinical trial initiative for NED-260 to establish the treatment's safety and efficacy for COVID-19 patients. NED-260 is a rationally designed, combination treatment that has the potential to address COVID-19 viral replication and entry based on its multiple mechanisms of action. Through its multifaceted approach to address major processes integral to COVID-19's progression and how it infects the cell, NED-260 may fulfill a critically important niche in the treatment and prevention of mild-to-moderate illness in the majority of people who are at risk for COVID-19 infection. NED is planning to conduct a Phase 2, randomized, placebo-controlled study of NED-260 in mild-to-moderate COVID-19 patients.*

"This study offers a chance to look at an oral treatment for COVID-19," said Dr. Mansour. "Taken directly after diagnosis, the combination is aimed at interrupting disease progression - and potentially speeding up a patient's recovery time. The trial will also explore the use of NED-260 as a potential prophylaxis, to prevent infection."

"The contribution of Dr. Mansour's expertise and considerable insight will be invaluable as we establish the safety and efficacy of NED-260 as a COVID-19 treatment," stated Rebecca Lambert, Founder and Executive Chair of NED Biosystems. "We are eager to commence the NED-260 clinical trials with Dr. Mansour's seasoned guidance. The time is now to develop an early treatment solution and preventative of infection."

"Dr. Mansour is an outstanding addition to our team of accomplished medical advisors at NED Biosystems," stated Dr. Geoffrey Ling, Office of the CEO, Scientific Advisory Board, Board of Directors, NED Biosystems and advisor to the U.S. Government's COVID-19 Task Force. "His prominence in the field of infectious disease research and deep expertise will help propel our efforts to bring our uniquely comprehensive treatments to the broader patient community. We are delighted to welcome him to the team."

Dr. Mansour leads a team of medical research scientists at the Mansour Laboratory that focuses on developing novel cellular diagnostics and therapies for invasive fungal infections. He is also a practicing physician specialized in infectious disease at MGH. Dr. Mansour obtained an MD and PhD from Boston University and completed his residency and served as a fellow at the MGH.

Based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, NED Biosystems is a clinical-stage biotech company developing innovative treatments to provide multifaceted approaches to affect multiple key disease processes. Beginning with a focus on patients and their families, NED seeks to dramatically improve patient outcomes with combination treatments comprised of agents with well-established safety and tolerability profiles.

The American Friends of Capodimonte announce new Senior Fellow, Board Member and opening of 2021 Fellowship application

CHICAGO, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- It is with great pleasure that American Friends of Capodimonte (AFC) announce the appointment of Dr. Claire Van Cleave as the AFC Senior Fellow at the Capodimonte Museum in Naples, Italy. The AFC's unique mission places an American scholar directly inside the staff of an important Italian museum.

The focus of Dr. Van Cleave's scholarship will be the approximately fifty works on paper from the Farnese collection. This includes important 16th Century works by Raphael, Michelangelo, Parmigianino and Sofonisba Anguissola. Dr. Van Cleave's research will complement the Museum's current campaign to digitize its entire collection.

Dr. Van Cleave, a native of Chicago, is a writer and lecturer on Renaissance art and a specialist on the drawings of the 15th Century Italian painter Luca Signorelli. Her scholarly publications include: "Master Drawings of the Renaissance" (London, 2007), for the British Museum and, as co-author, of "Italian Master Drawings from the Princeton University Art Museum" (Princeton, 2014). She has also curated exhibitions such as the monographic exhibition devoted to Signorelli at the National Gallery of Umbria in Perugia, Italy in 2012. Her Senior Fellowship begins in September. Information: http://www.americanfriendsofcapodimonte.info/fellows
"
The AFC is committed to supporting scholarship on the Capodimonte's extraordinary collection and making the treasures of the Museum accessible to an English-speaking audience," said AFC President, Nancy Vespoli. "Claire came to us with a project that was perfectly attuned to our mission and impossible to resist."

The Board of the AFC is also pleased to announce that it is receiving applications for the 2021-22 AFC Post-Doctoral Fellowship, the only fellowship for an American art historian in an Italian museum. Information: http://www.americanfriendsofcapodimonte.info/afc-fellowship-about. Dr. James P. Anno served as the first AFC Fellow from 2017-2019 and was recently appointed Associate Curator of European Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

In July, Gretchen A. Hirschauer was named to the AFC Board. Gretchen is a Curator of Italian and Spanish Paintings at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. During her long tenure, Gretchen has curated many exhibitions with accompanying catalogues, including Flowering of Florence: Botanical Art of the Medici in 2002, Luis Melendez: Master of the Spanish Still Life in 2009, Piero di Cosimo: the Poetry of Painting in Renaissance Florence in 2015, and Andrea del Verrocchio: Sculptor and Painter of Renaissance Florence in 2019.

"I sincerely thank the American Friends of Capodimonte who offer us the possibility of this international collaboration from which the museum will benefit enormously," said Sylvain Bellenger, Director of the Museum and Royal Park of Capodimonte. "The AFC has increased awareness of the Museum with an American audience and given us the opportunity to have important American scholars working alongside our curators."

Referred to as an "under-visited treasure trove" by the New York Times in 2019 and "the most underrated museum in Italy" by Condé Nast Traveler in 2016, Capodimonte was built in 1738 by King Charles of Bourbon (later King Charles III of Spain). It sits atop the highest hill above the ancient city of Naples, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The core of the collection is the Farnese collection of paintings and sculpture, formed in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth centuries by Pope Paul III and his Farnese relatives, later inherited by Charles of Bourbon.

Leading Experts in Cancer Research Nabeel El-Bardeesy and Razelle Kurzrock Join NED Biosystems’ Scientific Advisory Board

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- NED Biosystems, an innovative clinical-stage biotech company developing oral therapies for cancer and novel coronavirus, is pleased to announce that Nabeel El-Bardeesy, PhD and Razelle Kurzrock, MD have joined the Company's Scientific Advisory Board. Both Dr. El-Bardeesy and Dr. Kurzrock bring a wealth of expertise as scientific and clinical leaders in cancer research and treatments.

Dr. El-Bardeesy is Associate Professor of Medicine at the Harvard Medical School and a leading authority on the causes of cancer. Dr. El-Bardeesy also serves as the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation Scientific and Medical Advisory Board Co-Chair. Dr. El-Bardeesy additionally is Assistant Professor at Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center and is an instructor at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Dr. El-Bardeesy is widely published on the molecular and cellular mechanisms that drive certain types of cancer.

Dr. Kurzrock is Professor of Medicine and Associate Director for Clinical Sciences at the University of San Diego Moore Cancer Center. She leads the Center's clinical trial programs and heads its recently established Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy. Dr. Kurzrock's distinguished track record includes leading one of the largest phase one clinical trial programs at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, where she spearheaded an innovative approach that utilized advanced molecular technologies to match patients with targeted cancer treatment that optimized the possibility for response.

"The addition of Dr. El-Bardeesy and Dr. Kurzrock to the Scientific Advisory Board further strengthens the resolve of NED's mission to innovate safe, effective and transformative treatments for cancer and other life-threatening diseases such as Covid-19," stated Rebecca Lambert, Founder and Executive Chair of NED Biosystems' Board. "As we advance NED-170 clinical trials for cholangiocarcinoma, ovarian and triple negative breast cancer to establish the product's safety and efficacy, we will rely heavily on the Scientific Advisory Board's expert guidance and direction. They will also play an instrumental role in our efforts to launch clinical trials for NED-260, a potential treatment and prophylaxis for COVID-19.*"

Dr. Jennifer Muir Joins The Spodak Dental Group Team

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Dr. Jennifer Muir, a 12-year veteran in the dental field, joins the prestigious team of general and specialty dentists at the Spodak Dental Group. A highly-skilled and dedicated general dentist with extensive knowledge in cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Muir focuses on providing exceptional patient care, which makes her a perfect fit for the Spodak team.

"It is an honor to have Dr. Muir as part of our dental team," said Dr. Craig Spodak, general dentist at Spodak Dental Group. "She has the outstanding ability to create the perfect smile for each of her patients and help them achieve their dental health goals. Her dedication to the field of dentistry is inspiring, and we look forward to improving the field of dentistry together."

Originally from Costa Rica, Dr. Muir moved to the U.S. after graduating from ULACIT in San

Jose. She completed her Advanced Education in General Dentistry Residency at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine in NYC where she consistently outperformed her peers and was named top producer for two consecutive years. During her residency, she received high level training in treating complex cases involving full mouth rehabilitation, cosmetics and implants. She has participated numerous times at Aesthetic Advantage at the Rosenthal Institute at New York University perfecting her skills in cosmetics.

Over the course of her career, Dr. Muir has developed a passion for cosmetic dentistry and for improving the quality of life for her patients. She thrives from being able to help her patients achieve their smile goals and enjoy increased confidence. She also believes that comprehensive oral care should not only focus on localized issues, but include a whole mouth view with long term solutions. She is dedicated to treating the entire patient, not just his or her smile.

In an effort to help her patients envision their perfect smile, she offers Smile Design appointments where she provides a smile "mock up." This provides the opportunity to show what recommended cosmetic treatment would look like without performing any work, enabling patients to customize their care to match their envisioned aesthetics.

She holds her AEGD Certification, Dental Licensure in Costa Rica, Child Abuse Certification, Infection Control Certification, CPR Training and complies with Florida law and regulations. In addition to her certifications, she also volunteered at Aldeas SOS and Las Escuelitas in Costa Rica, where she provided dental care to children with special needs and to families with limited resources.

In her free time, she enjoys yoga and spending time with her husband James, her son Bruce, and her two dogs, Ollie and Livie.

The Spodak Dental Group, a 2017 Inc. 5000 honoree, has evolved to become South Florida's premier, comprehensive dental facility, and comprises a world-class association of dental professionals poised to provide full-service dental care second-to-none in both scope and skill.

"I was a fan of MCT prior to coming on board, as I had seen all the good work they had done with several of my clients over the years. I am a bigger fan now seeing the total commitment to the client, open communication, and help provided to navigate accounts out of harm's way. I also was moved by Curtis's concern during this crisis for all the employees and the safety of them and their families," said Mr. Woodall.

He is joined by Dave Bricker, who comes on board as MCT's Chief Financial Officer. He has a successful history of varied senior financial roles including CFO, Chief Accounting Officer, SVP of Finance and Chief Auditor. He had previously consulted with MCT prior to coming onboard and was well versed with MCT's customized processes. Mr. Bricker is focused on leveraging his outside expertise to build on the current financial foundation at MCT. In doing so, he hopes to provide senior leaders with better financial information for well-informed decisions. Despite the uncertainty and financial challenges associated with the pandemic, Mr. Bricker was able to have an immediate positive and stabilizing impact on MCT.

"The support that I've received so far has been great from all areas of the company. I've been extremely impressed by the company's ability to pivot to a Work-from-Home workforce so quickly and without negative impact to our clients," Mr. Bricker remarks, "It's as if the company has always operated in this manner."

MCT is grateful that these newest players were able to hit the ground running to keep up with the huge demand by the capital markets industry for market volatility guidance. With their combined experiences and knowledge, they will continue to provide support to MCT and clients, mitigating risk and increasing outcomes during this challenging time.

The Alliven Group Names Yehuda Newman as Vice President of Acquisitions

LAKEWOOD, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Alliven Group, a leading New Jersey-based real estate firm, has announced the arrival of Yehuda Newman as Vice President of Acquisitions. Mr. Newman will be focusing on all aspects of new transactions with Joint Venture partners, as well as growing an in-house multifamily platform to complement The Alliven Group's already robust portfolio of joint venture properties.

"Following an extensive search, we are excited to welcome such an experienced, capable, and passionate leader to our team," said Rachel Lasry, COO of The Alliven Group. "Yehuda's background in multifamily investments is a great fit with our focus on the multifamily market, which has been very successful for us."

Prior to joining The Alliven Group, Mr. Newman spent five years at The Lightstone Group, a New York City private equity firm. His responsibilities included sourcing and underwriting potential acquisition opportunities, particularly value-add multifamily and development sites. He worked closely with the executive team, performing market research of new target MSA's; developed investment recommendations; and managed the transaction due diligence and closing processes. Mr. Newman has been instrumental in closing multimillion-dollar deals across the country, including hotels, development sites, and multifamily assets.

When sourcing new deals and reviewing the projected performance of an investment, Mr. Newman always makes it a point to visit each location and learn about it from the ground up, working to build relationships with the people behind the deal. He brings that development philosophy to The Alliven Group, which has pursued opportunities across the country. "I like to get to know the place and meet the people there, because ultimately, it's not the numbers that make the deal happen, it's the people who do it," Mr. Newman said.

"This is an exciting opportunity to develop new relationships and explore new structures," Mr. Newman added. "I look forward to leveraging my experience to create value with The Alliven Group."
