Fine Art Investment Firm ArteQuesta Proves Tech Isn’t Just for Silicon Valley

MILL VALLEY, Calif., Oct. 12, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- ArteQuesta announces its new software for art collectors, the Art Portfolio Management System. "From a collector's standpoint, our software offers simplicity for managing a collection without cutting corners or lowering standards," comments Rayah Levy, ArteQuesta's Founder and Director.

"This software allows our clients to open their portfolio with us and track the performance of their art, similar to other financial assets. It's also available to collectors who aren't our direct clients because we recognize the importance of this tool in the global market."

Pointing to Deloitte's latest Art & Finance Report, Levy believes there will be an increase in demand for professional wealth management services in relation to art and art collections.

"In 2014, 76 percent of art purchases were made for the art's potential as an investment. The 2015 statistics show this percentage will grow. Increasingly, art professionals (76 percent) and art collectors (62 percent) believe art and collectibles should be integrated into wealth management offerings, which are opening new areas in an untapped market.

"Although those within the art industry have been welcoming this trend with excitement, the market itself has been slow in reacting to demands the influx of new investors bring, resulting in the creation of the Portfolio Management System."

As part of its mission, ArteQuesta hopes to dispel the myth that art investment is the sole reserve of the ultra-wealthy. Levy believes that making all aspects of the process user friendly is essential to catering to the ever-growing market.

"We want people to know you don't need to spend large sums of money to make a good investment in art. Though some of our artwork is at higher values, we have a number of artworks that are viable investments for median-level incomes.

"Most people aren't aware of how to begin investing in art and we want to change that. This is why the timing of our software is vital. Just as we're making the art world more accessible to the masses, we're also making it easier to navigate by directly removing the most common and significant hurdles - provenance and verification of ownership."

Levy states, "The Portfolio Management System was designed with provenance and verification in mind specifically because ArteQuesta's most personal mission is to preserve Jewish and Israeli Art. In almost all cases in which we've identified and began the process of rescue or recovery, proving authenticity and ownership have been most difficult. As we look to the future with our software, there is unlimited potential for investors, collectors, museums and financial institutions to manage collections of any size, with updated and verifiable certificates of authenticity with ease. Adding the extra layer of tracking certificates of authenticity and ownership on the Blockchain, which will soon be incorporated in our system, will bring additional security to art purchases managed in the Portfolio Management System."

Manufacturing Impact Recognized by State and Local Officials

OSCEOLA, Iowa, Oct. 12, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- With a visit to Altec, Inc. in Osceola, Iowa last month, Governor Terry Branstad doubled up the perception of positive manufacturing growth throughout Southern Iowa. Quickly following up an agribusiness / manufacturing visit to the community from Secretary of Agriculture, Bill Northey, the feeling in Osceola and surrounding communities is recent manufacturing growth is making a significant impact.

"While the market may soft right now, it's nice to see companies creating jobs and maintaining a level of work that can support a growing community like Osceola." Branstad said during a recent visit to Altec, Inc.

Not only was October 2nd National Manufacturer's day, but Osceola, Iowa's Mayor, Fred Diehl took the recognition one step further to proclaim the entire month of October as Manufacturers' Month throughout the City.

Diehl stated, "Manufacturing jobs provide Osceola and Clarke County, Iowa with a payroll of over $51 Million in annual wages. We certainly want to recognize the importance of our manufacturing community."

During The Governor's visit to Altec, Branstad took the time to tour the recently updated plant and spend time discussing details of the company, it's growth throughout it's 86 year history, and the impact their presence in Osceola and Southern Iowa has had.

"One of the unique challenges the team had," explained Mark Wegel, Altec's Director of Corporate Communications, "Was restructuring the management staff and workforce from the previous company to increase efficiencies and profitability under Altec's management to meet our production goals."

From the buyout in January of 2014 to present day, the manufacturing output from the Osceola's Altec facility has grown from a couple dozen fiberglass body components per month to over 100 units in recent months. This increase in volume is directly attributed to the strategies the new Altec management team created and the aggressive recruiting and candidate evaluations that have taken place over the last year.

"Our business is growing so fast that they have to try to get the right numbers in to meet the demand we've seen in recent months." Wegel continued. "With the number of manufacturing programs available locally, we see this kind of growth potential not slowing down soon."

Bill Trickey from The Clarke County Development Corporation (CCDC) also brought information to the table for the Governor and the Altec team, illustrating an aggressive trade education program being developed through the CCDC, Clarke Community Schools, and local businesses.

"We're aware of the demand for additional workforce, and who better to train for these jobs, than local students and the community surrounding these companies? We're making sure the students are aware of the opportunities for work in Clarke County and Osceola and that a steady supply of young people are prepared for these important positions." Trickey stated.

Branstad went on to provide insight on additional programs available through Iowa Workforce Development and Iowa Department of Economic Development for manufacturing trade training programs and recruiting throughout the state.

Based on recent statistics from Iowa Workforce Development, the average annual manufacturing wage in Osceola is $46,483, compared to the County average of $34,000. The growth specific to this sector is partially attributed to new companies entering the community like Altec and others.

As manufacturing throughout Clarke County and Osceola continues to grow, the opportunities for job growth as well as increases in income for the community look abundant. Additional jobs and increases are projected to grow at a steady rate throughout Southern Iowa making a significant impact on the entire area.

As Branstad closed the meeting, he went on to say, "We're excited to see companies like Altec lay foundation in our state. We're always looking for great partnerships to help grow our communities and help future generations sustain Iowa's way of life."

Alec Monopoly Brings his Street Game

NEW YORK, N.Y., Oct. 8, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Alec Monopoly is at Guy Hepner and he's bringing the streets with him. Who is Alec Monopoly? While his true identity remains a mystery, chances you've been to Los Angeles, New York, Miami or London, you've probably driven past the Monopoly artist's graffiti murals featuring widely-known, wealthy pop-culture figures from childhood, like the Monopoly Man, Richie Rich or Uncle Scrooge, or his interpretations of celebrity icons such as Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan, Jack Nicholson, Goldie Hawn and Twiggy.

The New York graffiti artist has made his mark all over the country, painting the facade of the numerous buildings and hotels including one giant duck at the SLS Hotel, billboards, a double-decker bus, a fleet of supercars and galleries all over including here at Guy Hepner.

"I was playing Monopoly and watching the news, and I saw Bernie Madoff being arrested. And it hit me, it was like a light bulb," says Monopoly.

The New York street artist started painting the Monopoly Man everywhere! Any empty space, billboards or advertisement posters Alec could find, he began spray painting right over it. And of course, with Alec Monopoly graffiti, there comes an Alec Monopoly price. You couldn't even count the number of times this bad boy had run-ins with the law; he's even gone as far as jumping down N.Y. garbage chutes to get away.

He adds, "I like painting for my own happiness. Graffiti is my true passion and I like seeing the reaction of people when they walk by my work and it inspires them."

Alec Monopoly's art for sale stands out for his unconventional graffiti style that is colorful, happy and positive, such as Scrooge Money Bags and Island Graffiti Girl, rather than a gritty, underground representation in a part of the art world associated with crime and vandalism. He uses spray paint, acrylic, resin and newspaper clippings from the Financial Times and Wall Street Journal for most of his work.

Having done gallery shows since 2008, Monopoly is concentrating on Asia in 2015, starting at Armani in Hong Kong during Art Basel. But don't worry, if you're too lazy to fill up the gas of your private jet, you can just browse online at Guy Hepner where we bring exclusive Alec Monopoly paintings and sculptures for sale to you 24 hours a day.

Unique interactive art exhibit coming to Green Hills Memorial Park

RANCHO PALOS VERDES, Calif., Oct. 7, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- In today's fast-paced world of constant communication, deadlines and the ever-present to-do list, individuals may find it easy to lose sight of their personal aspirations and dreams. A new interactive art exhibit with installations cropping up around the world - including one now being planned by Green Hills Memorial Park in Rancho Palos Verdes the weekend of October 16 - is providing a much-needed opportunity to pause for reflection.

Known as the "Before I Die" walls, this project is providing the catalyst for individuals to consider their life's goals and then motivating them to plan and follow through on those personal dreams.

"It gets you to own what you want to get out of life," said Chris Wendel, sales manager with Green Hills Memorial Park. "Once you write it down, you take more ownership and have more accountability."

Before I Die has become a global art phenomenon as it has invited people to reflect on their lives and share their personal aspirations in public space. This project was started by Candy Chang using an abandoned house in New Orleans as an interactive motivational chalkboard of sorts after she lost someone she loved. Today, more than 1,000 "Before I Die" walls have been created in more than 70 countries, reimagining public spaces and prompting passersby to ponder their life's goals.

Wendel and colleague Tom Frew were introduced to the concept of this thought-provoking art exhibit on a business trip to Houston. The duo was intrigued by the concept that encourages people to share and consider what want to achieve in life. Already, Green Hills' advanced planning guide included information on creating a bucket list as a way to cope with the loss of a loved one. Therefore, the idea of the memorial park's developing its own "Before I Die" art installation seemed a natural fit.

"We are in a unique position in our industry to see folks who lose someone begin to contemplate their own lives and what they want to achieve," noted Wendel, who added that the wall not only encourages such individuals to consider their life's goals, but to own the planning of them as well.

According to Wendel and to Jennifer Frew, Community Events Coordinator at Green Hills Memorial Park, offering the interactive art exhibit dovetails well with the park's commitment to the local community and its residents.

"We are not just a cemetery," said Jennifer Frew. "We are a beautiful memorial park, and our goal is to provide opportunities for continuing to create family memories.

"We are also about celebrating life," added Wendel.

He added that, with its unique spirit and community event offerings, Green Hills encourages people to become more familiar with its setting and to feel more comfortable within the park. Already, the park is home to a popular fall Harvest Festival that draws thousands of local residents as well as events such as summer's "Shakespeare in the Park." Therefore, Green Hills Memorial Park is both a permanent resting place that is accessible to friends and family members as well as a beautiful setting for special celebrations and community events. And, celebrating life is what the "Before I Die" exhibit will be all about.

The special installation at Green Hills Memorial Park will be unique from other interactive versions of the "Before I Die" exhibits. In other settings and in other cities, the installation has taken a variety of forms: from the reimagining of a derelict building, to a moveable wall in several different locations, including a college campus.

Planned to be set near the flowing stream at the park's entrance and near to parking, the Green Hills' Memorial Park's "Before I Die" exhibit will take more of a column format. The columns will be eight feet tall but hinged on the corners to allow them to be folded out to form a wall in the future as display plans allow. Such a wall could be the final format of the park's exhibit if a more permanent setting can be found for the exhibit once the initial run closes.

The "Before I Die" installation at Green Hills is set to open October 16, 2015, just a few days after the park's popular annual Harvest Festival where the concept will be introduced. The installation's opening on that Friday is being planned to coincide with the offering of free flu shots as well.

Initially, there will be anywhere from three to five columns where local residents are welcome to share their lives' aspirations. The interactive columns will be set up to invite people to share for at least the weekend following its October 16 opening.

"We believe it will get people to focus on what it is they hope to accomplish in life," said Frew.

She herself finds she can easily be overwhelmed with the mundane tasks of daily life and work. Contemplation of the coming Before I Die installation at Green Hills Memorial Park has caused Frew to consider some of the things she ultimately wants to be sure she does in her life, including sky diving.

Make plans today to stop by the park the weekend of October 16 to check out the Before I Die exhibit and consider your own life's goals.

U.S. Senate Candidate Tom Del Beccaro Announces Major Endorsement by Economist Larry Kudlow

WALNUT CREEK, Calif., Oct. 6, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Tom Del Beccaro, former Chairman of the California Republican Party and U.S. Senate candidate, today announced Economist Larry Kudlow's endorsement of him for U.S. Senate.

"I am honored to have received this endorsement," said Del Beccaro. "Larry Kudlow has been among the foremost voices in America for the restoration of pro-growth policies. In the time I have spent with him, I have seen how he is acutely concerned about how government policies have reduced economic growth and in the process hurt the middle class and the poor in America."

"Tom Del Beccaro, with the help of my dear friend Stephen Moore, will propose a flat tax for the nation. In my judgment, that is the exact prescription our ailing economy needs. Tom Del Beccaro has my full support," said Kudlow.

About Tom Del Beccaro's Flat Tax:

Tom Del Beccaro, the only candidate in the race to have taken the No New Tax Pledge, and the only Senate candidate in America to offer a flat tax plan, has proposed the following flat tax system:

1. The elimination of our current corporate tax system and to replace it with a 15.5% net business income tax with immediate expensing for business purchases and deductibility of wages and salaries.

2. The replacement of the current personal income tax with a flat rate 15.5% income tax on wages and salaries, capital gains, dividends, interest income and bequests. For a family of four, the first $48,000 of income is tax-free. Health care benefits should remain untaxed.

3. The elimination of all deductions except the standard deduction should be doubled.

4. The payroll tax should be retained but its cap eliminated.

5. The elimination of the estate tax, ObamaCare taxes, and all tariffs. The net business income tax would be applied to imports at the border.

6. Any change to this system, should require a 3/5ths vote of both houses of Congress

That system would replace the 77,000 annotated page tax code we have today.

About Tom Del Beccaro:

Tom Del Beccaro is a business and real estate lawyer, and the former Chairman of the California Republican Party. Tom is a contributor to Forbes.com and writes frequently about tax policy. Tom is Publisher of PoliticalVanguard.com, author of the new book "The Divided Era," which explains why America is so divided today and offers ideas on how to reduce political division, and "The New Conservative Paradigm."

Fall Flu Shot Propaganda Extravaganza is Off and Running!

CORTE MADERA, Calif., Sept. 29, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Dr. Don Harte, renowned Marin straight chiropractor, warns, "Fall has begun. With that, the annual media blitz to convince us all to line up, like sheep, for the flu shot."

"Last week's headline," he relates, "says 'Flu vaccine seen as a better match. Health experts hope to avoid repeat of last year's debacle.'" Dr. Harte asks, rhetorically, "You really listen to this stuff?"

"If so many didn't believe this pseudo-scientific fantasy, it would be funny." Harte goes on to say that Federal officials "... emphasized that, unlike last year, this year's vaccine appears to be a good match for the strains of flu they expect to hit the U.S."

"Really?" he asks. "The CDC must have fortune tellers in white coats. They are declaring a good match of something they just cooked up, for something that hasn't appeared yet. This is science?"

Dr. Harte said, "In Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, a 26 year old woman, a newlywed, a radiology technician, died from flu complications after she received the flu shot. She had no choice, as it was a condition of her employment." Harte points out, "From a medical procedure to allegedly prevent a non-fatal disease, a young woman has died. She is not the only victim. THE most common side effect is Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), a debilitating, paralyzing neurological condition. I have one such victim of flu vaccine-caused GBS in my practice. This formerly healthy, athletic man walks unsteadily with 'drop foot,' with a profound loss of memory."

Dr. Harte states, "More people have died from the flu after getting the flu vaccine, than from Ebola." He goes on, "Public health officials, on this topic, are public liars. They continue to bleat the figure of 36,000 deaths from influenza. This figure is bogus. It is for influenza AND pneumonia. Leave out the pneumonia deaths, and there are usually less than 300 deaths from influenza." He adds, "This is typical of government lies in the service of Big Pharma. Disgusting!"

"The problem with preventative medicine," Dr. Harte says, "is that it prevents health. Better health prevents disease and improves function." He goes on, "Chiropractic has proven itself during the Great Flu Pandemic of 1918, saving tens of thousands of lives, when medical care was powerless. Chiropractic liberates the nervous system, allowing the immune system to work better. Vaccinations subvert normal immune pathways, interfering with health. What's your choice, this flu season?"

California Physician honored for Commitment to Global Health

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Sept. 28, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Dr. Irene Bih Wakam, a family physician practicing in Ventura, California, has been awarded the 2015 Global Health Excellence Award from Student International Development Engagement, a program in which students travel abroad to enrich their global experience and contribute to development issues.

Dr. Wakam volunteered as a member of a team of local and international volunteers, executed and assessed the success of the second annual Baligham Village health fair, sponsored by Student International Development Engagement (SIDE) on June 13, 2015 to provide health care and disease prevention to Baligham, a remote poor village in Cameroon.

On top of poverty, poor road conditions and scarce transportation options make it difficult for Baligham villagers to seek medical care and treatment. Pregnant women and lactating mothers and their babies have to travel 10 miles on very rough and bumpy roads on foot or ride motorbikes before they can take a taxi to travel another 15 miles to seek medical care.

Dr. Wakam had to travel by bush four wheel drive taxi, and foot to get to Baligham. The children she treated were suffering from respiratory infections, intestinal parasites, diarrhea or malaria, all of which are preventable diseases. In addition, maternal health services and a safe place to give birth are not available to pregnant women in this remote poor village. The low percentage of pregnant women giving birth in the poorly equipped government run Baligham health post, do so under unsanitary conditions and have to pay for their own drugs and supplies.

Dr. Wakam secured donations of needed medication and medical supplies from Johnson & Johnson Company for the health fair and used her own funds to help pay for more medication and travel expenses. "The lives of Cameroonians living in remote poor villages like Baligham can be transformed, by providing access to basic services such as water, sanitation, electricity, medication, health care providers and road improvements," says Dr. Wakam.

"We sponsored the Baligham Mobile Health Fair in an attempt to raise even more awareness for the plight many people; men, women and children are facing in underdeveloped villages in Cameroon such as Baligham," said Margaret Galabe, author, award-winning humanitarian, philanthropist, and founder of Student International Development Engagement.

"Volunteers have always been and will continue to be at the very heart of these worthwhile events, and this is a call out to any that want to join us. Ten or twenty people aren't enough unfortunately. To help a village, you need a village of people who are more than willing to assist," adds Galabe.

About Student International Development Engagement:

Student International Development Engagement, or SIDE for short, invites international students to attend a six week, highly intensive summer volunteering, service learning and internship, where they are culturally immersed in remote, rural villages in Cameroon, Central Africa, so as to gain a greater understanding of the issues that engulf the people of these villages.

Through SIDE's mission, sustainable development initiatives and cross-cultural experiences are fostered SIDE is an agile, ambitious, collaborative and forward thinking non-profit organization that provides an unparalleled student service, ensuring it continues to foster stronger relationships with both its students and partners locally and internationally. SIDE was established in 2011 by award-winning philanthropist Margaret Galabe, who serves the organization as its executive director. SIDE is based in Palmdale, California, USA and Bamenda, Cameroon.

New Restaurant Industry Survey Highlights Staffing Challenges Plaguing Many Foodservice and Hospitality Operations

RICHMOND, Texas, Sept. 28, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Restaurant Owner (RestaurantOwner.com), an industry leading resource for budding and seasoned independent restaurateurs, recently published an industry survey on the hiring and staffing issues plaguing the foodservice industry today. More than 650 independent restaurant owners responded with the unique situations they are facing in hiring and retaining their staff.

Over 63 percent of the operators surveyed note that their staffing challenges have increased in the past two years. While most would rank their restaurant as a good place to work, you may be surprised by the creative means some restaurateurs are using to find and retain their staff.

The most difficult category to hire: back of the house staff, with 56 percent of respondents stating that they are often short staffed and always hiring in their kitchens. Many operators call into question the quality of the labor pool, noting that it is increasingly difficult to hire conscientious, dependable employees.

Many independent operators are realizing that they must be proactive and take steps to make their restaurants a better place for their employees to work. 70 percent of the respondents noted that if their labor problems continue or get worse they will need to change the way they operate by taking actions such as increasing automation, reducing hours of operation or even changing their concept.

Only 1 percent of all restaurants surveyed said that they have plenty of candidates and are fully staffed in all areas of their restaurants. These operators note their success is primarily due to teamwork, building a good team spirit and sticking to their stated principles and core values.

Online Service Provides Free Counseling for Europe’s Refugees

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 25, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- An Internet group therapy service has initiated a program to provide psychological support for the thousands of refugees from the Middle East and North Africa who are currently trekking across Europe seeking new homes. In cooperation with the Adelina Foundation and Friends Beyond Borders, Growthnet, a U.S. company that offers various kinds of group counseling via web conferencing, is offering no-cost online sessions to any refugee who applies, according to its CEO, John Toomey.

"These people are entering Europe with all kinds of needs," Toomey says. "The governments in Europe are overcome with just handling practical things like food and shelter, so psychological and emotional traumas associated with the journey often go untreated. Some of these people have crossed the Mediterranean in leaky boats, been beaten by traffickers, and lost loved ones along the way. As long as we are able, we will help them adjust."

Key to the program's success is translation software newly developed by http://translateyourworld.com/.

The refugees typically speak languages like Arabic, Kurdish, Berber, and Hausa, and cannot understand therapists who speak only European languages. The new software allows the counselor to speak German, English, French, Russian, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Greek, or Russian, but the client can read the therapist's words in real time on their Smart phone or computer screen in Arabic, Turkish, Azeri, Swahili, or several other languages.

"Most people from the Middle East come from countries where psychotherapy is not common," says Soani Gunawan, language director for the project. "So being able to communicate with them in their own tongue can be critical not only to make them comfortable, but to allow them to see why counseling can be immensely beneficial to them during the kinds of ordeals they are facing."

An additional benefit to using the immediate translation software is that clients become more at ease with the native language of the country they are entering. A typical interaction, for example, is a German speaking therapist counseling an Arabic-speaking client. Since Germany is interested in assimilating refugees who qualify to remain as permanent residents, such an interaction is useful in helping the migrant learn a new tongue, since they are hearing the host language (German) at the same time as they read the target language (Arabic).

Plans are in the works to extend the program to other refugee crises, such as those facing the Rohingya in Southeast Asia, and Hutu and Tutsi peoples in Rwanda and Congo.

Cottage Cooking Asheville Cooks Up Kooky Marketing Scheme

ASHEVILLE, N.C., Sept. 24, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Cottage Cooking Asheville is having fun getting the word out about its new business. It's taking its cooking on the road, in the water and underwater, in the woods and wherever else it can carve out a cozy place to cook.

Cottage Cooking offers cooking classes in a 1915 cottage located just north of downtown Asheville.

"We're just having fun with it all," John Godts, owner of the cottage says. "My partner, Liisa Andreassen and I enjoy being outdoors, so we thought it would be fun to incorporate our cooking activities into our exploring too. Most recently we've gone camping, climbing and kayaking. Get the idea?"

The couple posts photos on its website and Facebook page so interested folks can follow their cooking exploits.

"It's kind of like 'Where's Waldo,'" Andreassen says. "People are curious about where we'll be going and what we'll be cooking up next."

A recent "photo shoot" took place along the Blue Ridge Parkway at a place called "Frying Pan Mountain." It was a pretty appropriate place to have a little fun with their marketing. Godts and Andreassen created a faux fire out of colorful leaves and were equipped with all the appropriate kitchen utensils too.

Spoiler alert: A trip to the Florida Keys is on the horizon where the couple is planning to scuba dive. How will they use their skills there? Stay tuned!

About Cottage Cooking:

Founded in March of 2015, Cottage Cooking classes are geared to home cooks who want to take their cooking up a notch or to people who simply want a fun night out. Plate dates and anniversary celebrations are very popular.

The cottage boasts a cozy kitchen, wood stove and eclectic flair. There's even a "secret door" in the kitchen floor.

Classes start at $50 per person and the cottage can accommodate up to four people. The cost includes all food, instruction and recipes. Guests are asked to BYOB. Larger groups can be accommodated off site at people's homes too.

Just Among Friends: Long-Term Care Insurance on Facebook

KIRKLAND, Wash., Sept. 23, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Long-term care insurance agents often resist reaching out to friends who could use their help. And seekers of LTC insurance information also resist reaching out to friends who may be in the business. But there's much to gain from overcoming this reluctance, according to ACSIA Partners, a leading long-term care insurance agency.

"If you're an agent, you may recoil at the idea of selling to your friends," says Denise Gott, CEO of ACSIA Partners. "And if you're on the buying end, you may feel you're imposing if you approach a friend in the business. But you really should connect. In our experience, agents and buyers who are friends are getting together with good results on both sides."

Social media sites -- especially Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter -- make it easy for LTC agents to reach out in low-key ways, according to Gott. "Our people avoid the hard sell," she says. "That's important. Mostly they just make clear they're in the business. And they post useful information that friends appreciate. For example, a reminder of LTC deductions available at tax time, or facts on who needs protection, or available policy types."

Agents who get lots of inquiries from friends tend to post regularly, maintaining an ongoing presence and dialog. Two examples:

Gabrielle Gelo makes regular visits to Facebook and is amply rewarded. "Facebook allows me to reach out to childhood acquaintances that I might not have maintained contact with otherwise, through the high school Facebook page. They need help with long-term care planning, and the trust is already there," she says. "For me, social media works: it costs nothing, and takes minimal time."

Kim Beckham also enjoys a solid response from social media. "Last year, about three fourths of my business was Facebook-related," she reports. "And it was mostly with friends and family and referrals from friends and family."

Beckham, like Gelo, stresses the importance of keeping things low-key and friendly. For example, "On Facebook I don't use a business page," says Beckham. "I just use my personal page, because I feel I am my brand, and people are looking to me as a person, not an agent."

If you're a consumer, social media can be an especially good place to shop for LTC insurance, according to Gott. "It's fine to click on internet ads or request quotes on search engines," she says. "But if you value the personal touch, it's hard to beat social media for linking up with someone you know and trust."

ACSIA Partners LLC -- http://www.acsiapartners.com/ -- is one of America's largest and most experienced long-term care insurance solution agencies with hundreds of agents serving all states. The company is also a co-founder and sponsor of the "3in4 Need More" campaign, run by the 3in4 Association, which encourages Americans to form a long-term care plan.

Inspect Your Roof, Before the Rains Come Advises Eco Roof Service Head Zarling

SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 22, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- "Late summer/early fall is the perfect time to check your roof for damaged shingles or possible areas of leakage," said Aaron Zarling, manager of the King County-based Eco Roof Service. "A roof check (and potential repair or replacement) is especially important to do now, before the big rains set in. Even small leaks can lead to big damage - mold and rot - if they are not fixed in time," he noted.

Eco Roof Service provides free inspections and estimates for local homeowners on both repairs and replacement.

"If your roof needs replacement, our Angie's List special offer is the best deal you can find!" Zarling stated. A deposit of only $849 through Angie's List will lock in our low price of $5,899, for a new roof with architectural shingles and a limited lifetime warranty.

Eco Roof uses only the finest roofing materials from Owens Corning and the latest technologies. "You'll be amazed at the variety of colors and styles of shingles. You can use our new app to see in advance exactly how handsome your choices will look on your house," Zarling commented.

An Angie's List Super Service Provider:

Eco Roof Service received the Angie's List Super Service Award in 2014. and prides itself in superior workmanship and service. "The 'Eco' in our name means that we are environmentally responsible; we recycle all of the old shingles and other materials that are removed from your roof. The recycled shingles are used to make highway asphalt," Zarling said.

Eco Roof Service is also committed to using cutting-edge technologies, and is now investigating the use of drones for roof inspections.

New Dining Segmentation Provides Targeted Solutions for Local Restaurant Marketing

SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Sept. 22, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Cogensia, a data-driven marketing firm, recently launched a breakthrough restaurant marketing solution - Dining Segments. The segments categorize U.S. households based on eight of the most popular dining categories. The segmentation places every consumer into different profiles based on hundreds of demographic, survey, lifestyle and interest data elements. The segments are applied to all 120 million households in Cogensia's Consumer IntelliBase and are available for email and direct mail targeting.

"We are excited to release Dining Segments to help restaurants drive more traffic from new customers," Brad Rukstales, Cogensia president and CEO, says. "Dining Segments allow marketers to maximize their budget by targeting the consumers most likely to dine at their restaurant."

And, when marketers can specifically target dining categories, they receive higher response rates, higher average tickets and increased traffic. The eight dining categories are: White Table Cloth, Grilled & Seared, Bar & Grill, Bon Appetito, Quick & Casual, Pizza Lovers, Sweet Tooth and Caffeinated Breakfast. A consumer will be identified in one or more categories based on what is known about their behaviors.

When the average household spends $2,625 dining out, just $51 on average per week, this leaves many restaurateurs competing for the same dollars. Dining Segments allow marketers to easily identify and target specific consumers in their area.

"In fact, Dining Segments give restaurateurs the ability to take action and target local consumers who are dining at the competition," Rukstales adds.

For example, a fine dining restaurateur headquartered in Chicago sought to drive traffic to his 50 national locations. The fine dining profile (White Table Cloth) identified that there were one million U.S. households that valued the upscale service of white table cloth venues. These discerning guests typically order a bottle of wine, prefer a formal atmosphere, value healthy options and have an average check of more than $100.

Using Cogensia's IntelliList Audience Selector tool, this restaurateur entered the 50 location zip codes and defined his search to within a 5-mile radius. Instantly, he was able to identify 71,000 fine dining households within his market to target with a specialized offer and drive guests to his establishments. The response rate based on this target selection was 1.9 percent. The results drove 27 new tables per location, almost one per night. The cost of the program was only $566 per location, and generated almost $3,000 profit at each restaurant.

This customer also realized cost savings. Traditional marketing included media buys, print advertisements and social media promotion. Dining Segments identified the exact audience they wanted to reach for a fraction of the cost.

"Dining Segments are a leading-edge restaurant marketing tool. It's designed to help restaurant marketers with local marketing, and to drive traffic to the restaurant the same day that the email marketing message is sent," Joel Schiltz, Cogensia's senior vice president and COO, says. "There's just nothing else that provides the restaurant industry with such specific details about household dining preferences and behaviors."

Weitz and Luxenberg to Target Volkswagen Over ‘Defeat Device’ Emissions Recall

NEW YORK, N.Y., Sept. 21, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Owners of recalled Volkswagen diesel passenger cars sold with emissions controls designed to cheat during smog tests may be entitled to compensation from the automaker, the nationally known personal injury law firm Weitz & Luxenberg said today.

The firm announced plans to bring a class action lawsuit against Volkswagen on behalf of defrauded consumers across the country, including in California and New York, where Weitz & Luxenberg has offices.

Weitz & Luxenberg said it believes that consumers who purchased one of the 482,000 Volkswagen vehicles the federal government last week ordered recalled may be entitled to damages from Volkswagen.

According to Robin L. Greenwald, who heads Weitz & Luxenberg's Environmental, Toxic Tort & Consumer Protection litigation unit, owners could recover an amount of money equal to the lost value of their car. The diesel engine on these cars increased their purchase price by several thousands of dollars, she explained.

"When owners of the recalled Volkswagen cars bought them they were promised a lawfully compliant emission system, but that promise turned out to be a deliberate falsehood because Volkswagen built into the emission system a 'defeat device,'" Greenwald said.

"That device tricked the consumer and the government when the vehicle was brought in for emission tests - allowing the vehicle to pass the test - even though when on the road the vehicle far exceeded allowable emissions," she said.

"As a result of the intentional misrepresentation, these recalled Volkswagen cars will be worth substantially less than paid for," Greenwald indicated.

'Defeat Device' Allowed Volkswagen Cars to Pass:

According to NBC News, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency discovered that Volkswagen rigged its onboard emission control software with special programming - the 'defeat device.'

This programming allowed each car undergoing an official smog test to appear to be compliant with California's strictest-in-the-nation emissions standard as well as those set by other states and the EPA, NBC News said.

Volkswagen's software was capable of detecting when the car was undergoing an official smog test and would automatically adjust the engine performance to reduce exhaust pollution levels, NBC News reported.

Then, when the smog test ended, the software would readjust engine performance back to normal, a setting at which the car would spew toxic fumes far in excess of legal limits, NBC News said.

"As an indication of how bad this fraud is, Volkswagen actually touts these vehicles as 'clean diesel,'" said Greenwald.

The recall covers the model years 2009-2015 Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Beetle, Volkswagen Golf, and Audi A3, as well as the 2014-2015 Volkswagen Passat, according to news sources cited by Weitz & Luxenberg.

Weitz & Luxenberg Meeting Volkswagen Owners:

Weitz & Luxenberg said that at this stage of the pending litigation its consumer protection attorneys plan to focus on meeting with Volkswagen car owners to explore their legal rights to compensation from Volkswagen.

The firm said interested Volkswagen owners will receive a no-cost, no-obligation evaluation. To schedule such a meeting, consumers may contact Weitz & Luxenberg at (212) 558-5925 or by filling out a request form online at http://www.weitzlux.com/.

Said Greenwald: "Emission standards exist to protect the health and welfare of our citizens. For Volkswagen to have purposefully designed an emission system intended to deceive consumers and the public with regard to the performance of their vehicles and also to deceive the government during emission tests is indefensible.

"Consumers were lured into purchasing these vehicles on the belief that they were high-performing vehicles with excellent emission controls. Instead, they now find out that they paid a premium for a vehicle that secretly installed software designed to hide nitrogen oxide emissions that contribute to ozone, smog and the increase in human health concerns."

Attorney Bernard Walsh Remarks on Automakers Moving to Make Automatic Braking Standard on All New Cars

BRADENTON, Fla., Sept. 16, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Bradenton accident attorney Bernard Walsh cautions major automakers to include commercial trucks with the decision to make automatic emergency braking systems standard on all new passenger vehicles.

The decision by a group of the worlds largest automakers which includes Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Ford, GM, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla Motors, Toyota and Volvo, to make automatic braking systems standard on all new cars draws notice from a Florida injury attorney.

Together the group of participating automakers comprised almost 60 percent of auto sales in the United States. This commitment by automakers mirrors previous times that automakers signed on to making major safety improvements standard such as making air bags standard equipment, and adding anti-rollover equipment to SUVs.

Automatic emergency braking systems use a combination of technology such as sensors, microprocessors, and sophisticated software to apply the breaks automatically when a collision is imminent. This technology while new, has been shown highly effective in helping to avoid crashes.

Currently just 4 percent of vehicles in the United states have automatic braking systems and as of yet this technology has not been adopted by the commercial trucking industry where it may prove to be most beneficial. Driver fatigue and distracted driving often lead to deadly accidents when commercial trucks are involved and many feel automatic emergency braking systems would save lives if installed on heavy commercial trucks.

Attorney Bernard F. Walsh shared this comment making automatic emergency braking systems standard, "This new technology is needed not only in cars but critically needed in Intrastate, as well as, Interstate trucking. These drivers of large trucks present the biggest danger because their trucks can weigh 80,000 pounds and fatigue driving mistakes are common in this industry due to the long hours they are on the roads. While I applaud the inclusion of AEB systems in passenger vehicles, this same technology should be standard on heavy trucks where it may be even more beneficial."

About Attorney Bernard F. Walsh:

A highly experienced AV rated attorney and founder of the Manasota Trial Lawyers Board, Bernard Walsh is an active member in multiple legal organizations including the Association of Plaintiff Interstate Trucking Lawyers of America (APITLA), the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, the Florida Justice Association, the National Trial Lawyers Association and the National Association of Distinguished Counsel.

Uproar Entertainment Releases First Stand-Up Comedy CD by Kat Radley

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Sept. 15, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Uproar Entertainment is excited to announce the debut comedy CD from the dynamic and talented KAT RADLEY. Hailing from Montclair, Virginia, Kat Radley began her stand-up comedian career as a contestant in Rooftop Comedy's National College Comedy Competition. After being voted into the Final Four by the public, Radley landed a coveted spot in the Aspen Comedy Festival, representing her alma mater UVA.

Prior to her public debut, Radley unwittingly honed her craft during her upbringing in a large Irish Catholic family, each sibling claiming to be funnier than the next.

Beyond her siblings, much of Radley's passion and early inspiration for comedy comes from a combination of her fondness and admiration for the "Spartan Cheerleaders" of "Saturday Night Live," and Conan O'Brien's quick infectious wit on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien." From Radley's quick-fire anecdotes to her hilarious pop culture references, everything is a target and nothing is off limits. Kat has been called the "female Dennis Miller" and her edginess compared to the likes of Amy Schumer.

Since launching her career, Radley made her stand-up television debut on FOX's "Laughs," and appeared in many notable festivals including the Out of Bounds, Laughing Skull, and Women in Comedy Festivals. She was also a finalist in the Magners Comedy Festival, and the World Series of Comedy where she took home the Friars Club Audience Award and earned the distinction of "Comic to Watch" by Time Out New York. In addition to appearing at festivals, Radley performs improv and sketch at the Upright Citizens Brigade and IOWest Comedy Theaters in Los Angeles, and hosts her own YouTube talk show, "A Chat With Kat."

"Very funny!" - Bob Saget.
"A brilliant writer." - Howard Stern.

On-Bus Camera System Catches Drivers Who Ignore School Bus Stop-Arms

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 14, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Across America millions of students travel to school in the more than 100,000 school buses that transport students daily, says Curtiss Routh of Radio Engineering Industries. As they get on or off the bus, each child is in danger of being hit by a motorist who disobeys the flashing red light of the bus's stop arm signal. Last year, nearly 76,000 illegal passes were documented during a one-day survey conducted nationwide - this translates to 13.68 million illegal passes annually. And there have been deaths.

A video camera system developed by an Omaha, Nebraska, manufacturing and engineering company improves student safety by spotting drivers making the illegal passes. Radio Engineering Industries has designed a system that attaches up to five video cameras on the side of a school bus. The cameras automatically record the make, model and license plate of vehicles that drive through the bus's extended stop arm. The system wirelessly sends the information to school officials who can analyze the data and send it to law enforcement for follow up.

It is illegal in every state to drive through the bus stop-arm, which extends a stop sign and triggers flashing lights when the bus stops to load or unload passengers. In some jurisdictions, video evidence can be used to prompt a citation and fines can be up to $500 in some states.

Last year, six school children were killed in the United States by vehicles that had been driven through stop-arms; since 1971 more than 1,200 fatalities have been recorded. In a one-day survey of 29 states, more than 97,000 school bus drivers reported nearly 76,000 illegal passes; across an entire 180-day school year, that comes to 13.68 million violations, according to the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services.

School bus drivers, who are busy with students entering or leaving the bus, often do not have time to write down information about drivers who violate the stop-arms. The camera-capture system records violators, allowing bus drivers to concentrate on student safety.

In their home state of Nebraska, Radio Engineering Industries has partnered with Bellevue Public Schools to place systems on 10 of Bellevue's buses. Rich Casey, Bellevue Public Schools transportation director, said that last school year the district documented 163 violations and estimated there were more than 500 undocumented violations. While no students have been hit, the chances are greater when drivers violate the stop-arms.

"Cameras will not stop drivers from violating the law," said Curtiss Routh, vice president of sales at Radio Engineering Industries. "But if drivers know they will be recorded on video cameras, and if drivers are prosecuted, the illegal behavior may be reduced; statistics show that fewer than 1 percent of those ticketed receive a second citation." Routh said enhanced student safety is the top reason driving the installation of these systems.

Police also are involved in the partnership; they believe the cameras will be a valuable tool for driver education and enforcement. Statistics from America Traffic Solutions, a national company that supplies road safety camera equipment, indicate jurisdictions employing similar systems see significant decreases in stop-arm violations.

The Radio Engineering Industries system has rear- and forward-facing high-definition cameras that capture vehicles in up to four lanes of traffic going as fast as 100 miles per hour. The system works in the dark or during rain. The system records the vehicles' rear and front license plates, the bus's extended stop-arm and safety indicators, and uploads the data and video violation information to the school's computer, where officials can review.

Radio Engineering Industries was founded in 1938 and specializes in commercial electronics for manufacturers, suppliers and operators in the transportation and agriculture industries. The company employs about 135 individuals at its plant in Omaha.

Hit Web Series ‘Foster’s Animal World TV’ Takes a Bite Out of Cyber Bullying

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Sept. 14, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- As the first African American dog photographer, director Foster Corder has always had a special affinity and vision for animals. Over the years, his photographic and film contributions have laid the groundwork for some of the most prominent canine experts in the field. With his two hit web series "Foster's Animal World TV" and "Conversations with a Pit Bull" he has solidified himself as a preeminent voice for thousands of dogs, particularly those abused and in the shelters.

On Tuesday, September 29 from 7:30 a.m. PT to 11:30 a.m. PT, Corder will take a bite out of cyber bullying within the dog rescue community with California attorneys Michael Harrington and Stephen Michael as his guests. They will address Internet laws and crime activities concerning email, online forums and social media. Linda Carel, from LA 4 Animals, will join them as they discuss these conflicts and offer possible resolutions.

The show will stream live on http://www.rmconair.com/ and will take calls at 323-965-1600.

Harrington's and Michael's appearance on the show marks the fifth in a series of shows targeting cyber bullying, in particular focusing on the "Facebook Rescue Mafia." Corder became a target himself after his initial presentation on the topic. Corder received hostile prank calls and online bully attempts for several weeks after interviewing rescuers within the community who had fallen victim to similar online assaults and harassment. The personal attacks against him only fueled his resolve to stop the behavior, an issue he now considers just as detrimental as the rampant euthanizing of dogs in shelters.

"Cyber bulling within the dog rescue community has the potential to deter people from helping animals. Anyone who has done animal rescue knows that there are people who view themselves as so-called authorities on the matter. They are fanatical of sorts and act as unauthorized 'dog police.' Many good and caring people complain they have been harassed, defamed and bullied by them for their rescue efforts. Their credibility and lives have suffered tremendously from these vicious cyber attacks and many have even received death threats," reveals Corder.

Cites Monika McComb from Open Arms Rescue, "I am a legal volunteer dog puller. My reputation has been destroyed and my life threatened behind my efforts to make a difference in the lives of helpless and needy canines. I am happy to see that Foster is exposing cyber bullying on his show. It needs to be stopped!"

"Conversations with a Pit Bull," co-hosted with Daniel Mason, which airs every Friday from 11 a.m. to Noon PT and on the Roscoe Media Center from Hollywood, Calif. (http://www.rmconlive.com/) has emerged as the channel's most popular show, with dog lovers tuning in from around the world including Canada, Italy, the United Kingdom, Australia and Asia. Each week animal experts and activists converge in the studio, on the phone, via Skype and online with dog lovers and their pets for a three hour immersion in all things 'canine' including rescue alerts, adoption notices, support for shelters, training tips, canine care and up to date news on events and notices in the dog community.

Other links to Foster's innovative efforts for change in the animal world include "Breeder X" series (https://youtu.be/t2FKyPwUSEg), the "Dexter" for dog animal abuse drama series; 50K Spay & Neuter Mission, across America with Shorty Rossi; and his 50K Mike Vick View statement.
