London Company Building Digital Ecosystem for Creators in Sub-Sahara Africa

LONDON, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- Pioneering London-based ForeMedia Group Plc (an international company well known for its top-rated extensive media and entertainment operations in Nigeria and United Kingdom, along with delivering Afro-centric media and entertainment to audiences worldwide), is delighted to announce that it is building the first digital ecosystem for talented entertainment creators in sub-Saharan Africa.

At this juncture in time, when diversity is being met with such strong enthusiasm, the company's strategy is to support sustainable creative initiatives, thereby enabling creators to learn, produce, distribute, and monetize their work. Various elements include new media and marketplace services and products such as content production, distribution and marketing, video streaming and advertising.

Riding the Wave of Rapid Annual Growth

Data from PwC's Entertainment & Media Outlook (2017-2021), projects that Nigeria will enjoy a rapid annual growth of 12.1%, thus making it the world's fastest-growing media and entertainment market over the upcoming years. However, due to the lack of platforms around the world which cater to African audiences, there is an urgent need for a dynamic, high capacity omni media platform. To that end, the entrepreneurial Founder/CEO, and associates of the ForeMedia Group (all of whom are renowned for their expertise in Afro-centric media and entertainment), have carried out substantial groundwork to make the ForeMedia Group the number one digital ecosystem in the whole of sub-Saharan Africa. At the core of every digital ecosystem is a platform business model, and the ForeMedia Group has built an extremely robust tech infrastructure to support its omni media platform.

Mission

"The company's strategic plan will empower one million young talents in media and entertainment in the medium/ long term and have large scale creation plans," says Hareter B. Oralusi, founder and CEO.

The ForeMedia Group provides a perfect new media and entertainment platform for young talented creators and SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises), thus empowering them to export and create a global market for commercially feasible afro-centric content. The company's ethos is "to use the latest cutting-edge digital technology help empower the next generation of Africans through media, entertainment, and entrepreneurship; thus, spreading the wonderful diversity of Afro-centric media and entertainment all over the world." This is set to give both African and non-African people alike, a fantastic new sphere of brilliant second to none, entertainment, and media.

ForeTVHub

ForeTVHub (one of the ForeMedia Group's platforms), is dedicated to distributing the most engaging and original content. It covers media and entertainment from both ForeMedia creators and notable third-party partners. The platform continues to delight both the creators and users in new ways.

And with innovative cutting-edge sports and entertainment videos, TV shows, top rated documentaries, music, books and podcasts, and so much breaking content from across the globe, many people and their families visit the site multiple times a day. Learn more: https://foretvhub.com/

ForeMedia Creator

ForeMedia Creator is a stimulating initiative which backs and empowers the creators who work with the ForeMedia Group. It supports creators with the essential tools for success: infrastructure, equipment, technical support, distribution, and monetization.

About the Founder and CEO

Hareter B. Oralusi M.S., is a renowned visionary, serial entrepreneur, and philanthropist. He is dedicated to spreading diversity around the world and kindling economic growth in Africa (according to African Economic Outlook 2021, "Real GDP in Africa is projected to grow by 3.4 percent in 2021"). This is substantially higher than other countries.

Oralusi has substantial business experience. He founded the ForeMedia Media Group Plc (2017). Founded the London School of Social Enterprise and Sustainable Economics (2014).

Founded the Nigerian Capital Development Fund (2010). Further, he was awarded a Master of Science (M.S.) in human resource management and organizational development from the PEF, Private University for Management, in Vienna, Austria.

Fanplayr Announces Launch in UK to Meet Global Demand for E-commerce Personalization

PALO ALTO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- anplayr, the leader in online behavioral personalization and artificial intelligence, accelerates its global growth plans with the opening of new offices in London and Manchester and three new senior appointments in the UK. The company's rapid expansion in the UK is driven by its ability to convert online users into buyers, using real-time analysis of online behavior. With an enormous surge in e-commerce in the last year, Fanplayr is anticipating significant revenue growth in the UK, reflecting the company's success across Europe where it has already had an increase in year-over-year revenue of more than 70%.

The success of Fanplayr's advanced cookie-free personalization is also equipping companies for post-pandemic recovery and for one of the most serious challenges to online business - the end of third-party cookies set to take place in 2022.

To build this early success in the UK, Fanplayr has made three key appointments. Andy McNab leads the UK operation, becoming the company's Vice President for EMEA. McNab is an award-winning digital leader who has led teams at Microsoft, AOL, and Rocket Fuel and is now fully focused on developing Fanplayr across EMEA.

Joining McNab are Dave Hendry, Regional Sales Director, who has worked in senior positions at JOE Media and Rocket Fuel, and Jessica Biddle, Head of Customer Success, who has previously led and developed teams at MiQ and Centro.

"We are excited to welcome Andy McNab and his team to Fanplayr," said Simon Yencken, Fanplayr CEO and Co-founder. "Andy brings a wealth of knowledge and value as an experienced leader in e-commerce and Adtech. We have high expectations for the UK in terms of notable global brands, enterprise customers, and expanded revenue for Fanplayr."

In the last month alone, Fanplayr has already acquired four major UK clients and further significant deals are in the pipeline to feed the expected growth. The new UK clients range from high-end fashion retailers to hotels and global software, and also includes several trading agreements with advertising agencies. Says McNab: "UK businesses have gained millions of new customers during the pandemic and they need us to help understand and retain them. Fanplayr's patented solution is perfectly placed to transform revenues without disruption."

Expansion in the UK comes as Fanplayr completes strategic agreements with key partners in the Nordics, Dubai and Abu Dhabi that will guarantee the company's advanced capabilities, including its patented "Segmentation-as-a-Service", are available across Europe and beyond.

From its global headquarters in Palo Alto, California, Fanplayr has been leading fully integrated online personalization and AI for a decade. The company achieved 100% growth in 2019 prior to the pandemic, with consistent growth of more than 60% annually over the last several years.

Pure Transplant Solutions Announces Collaboration with King’s College London to Support NHS Funded GAMECHANgER-1 Clinical Trial for HLA Sensitized Patients with End Stage Renal Disease

AUSTIN, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Pure Transplant Solutions, LLC (PTS), a collaboration driven biotechnology company focused on the development of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-based diagnostics and therapeutics within the field of transplantation, is proud to announce that it has entered into a collaboration agreement with King's College London, a leading university providing world-class teaching and cutting-edge research, to support the Phase IIa GAMECHANgER-1 clinical trial.

The trial aims to determine whether adoptive transfer of regulatory T cells (Tregs) into HLA sensitised patients can suppress memory T and B cell responses against specific HLA antigens in order to extend the longevity of donor organs.

The collaborative research is being led by Dr. Anthony Dorling, Professor of Transplant Inflammation and Repair, and Honorary Consultant Nephrologist at the Centre for Nephrology, Urology, and Transplantation, and Dr. Rico Buchli, VP of Products and Services at PTS. The collaboration intends to investigate whether in vitro anti-HLA T & B cell responses in sensitized patients can be inhibited by an adoptive transfer of T regulatory cells. Under the Agreement, PTS will provide its proprietary soluble HLA (sHLA) molecules which will be used to trigger functional responses of patient cells in Fluorospot assays.

Furthermore, PTS will provide biotinylated sHLA for memory b-cell detection and characterization. Researchers hope that the results of the study will lead to a better understanding of immune tolerance, extend the duration of suppression of HLA-specific responses by Tregs and ultimately produce state-of-the-art immune therapeutics to control rejection.

"We feel that PTS has the fundamental ingredients needed to provide new sets of tools to those who care for transplant patients," Dr. Buchli stated. "Our proteins can solve a number of important challenges in DSA and B cell monitoring. With this collaboration, we are able to go beyond monitoring and help pave the way in generating immune therapeutics of the future."

"The group of highly sensitized dialysis patients that we'll be recruiting to GAMECHANgER-1 have difficulties getting a suitable kidney transplant and once transplanted suffer higher rates of rejection and complications associated with our current treatments for rejection," said Dr. Dorling. "This trial will determine whether patients' own regulatory T cells can be used to suppress immune memory responses against specific human leukocyte antigens (HLA), and if successful will pave the way for larger scale trials to determine if these regulatory cells can be used as therapy to prevent or minimise these problems in future. The HLA proteins provided by Pure Transplant Solutions are an essential tool used to tailor our immunemonitoring for individual patients, so I'm delighted to be partnering with the company to ensure a stable, long-term supply of these reagents. This trial offers a glimpse of how personalised medicine might help transform outcomes for this disadvantaged group of patients."

Music for Choir and Orchestra Becomes Mystical Reflection of Life and Memory in Brian Field’s New Album

LONDON, UK /ScoopCloud/ -- RMN Classical is excited to announce that "CHORAL & ORCHESTRAL WORKS" by Brian Field, produced by Rick Romano and distributed by RMN Music, will be released worldwide on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Music and all digital platforms on October 15, 2020. The album, a collection of 12 works written by the composer in recent years, explores mysticism and includes instrumental works for ensemble, large orchestra and choral works. His works are performed throughout the U.S. and internationally.

The jazz-flavored instrumental track, "Nine, Four by Four," opens the album followed by a section of choral works with English lyrics. The orchestral "Shiva Tandava" completes the first half of the album and unlocks an exotic mysticism. Mirroring the opening, it's followed by the second section of choral works - this time based on Latin text.

"Beatitudines," a far-reaching work, sees the choir and a large orchestra conjunct. Two tracks for choir and organ close the Latin section leading the listener to the final track. A little gem, gospel-like song, "Sweet Forgiveness," brings the album to completion in a coda-like style.

"This compilation of 12 works showcases some of my more recent choral and large-scale instrumental/orchestral works," Fields, an internationally-acclaimed and renowned composer, says.

The music is an eclectic fusion of lyricism and driving rhythm that brings together elements of post-romanticism, minimalism and jazz.

"Apart from the jazz-influenced, 'Nine, Four by Four,' the works in this compilation embrace and celebrate the mystical. In many cases, these are mystical elements of faith and in others the secular, though equally mystical reflections of life and memory," Fields says.

The album features performances by esteemed musicians, ensembles and orchestras including the Budapest Symphonic Orchestra and Choir conducted by Peter Illénay; the Composes' Choir conducted by Daniel Shaw; the Lviv Philharmonic Society & Chorus conducted by Ferdinando Nazzaro; and Heelan Chorale conducted by John Flannery.

"I'm honored to have the opportunity to work with Brian, a truly rare contemporary talent and an all-around great person," RMN Classical music director, Romano, says. "He was the winner of our competition for new music - which is how we discovered him - and I'm incredibly excited to release this album and showcase all his music ideas."

Guy Rickards, Gramophone, says, "Listening to [Brian Field's] First Quartet makes me want to hear more. It's four very rhythmic movements are models of concision, real dialogues between the four musicians."

About Brian Field

Field began his musical endeavors at a very early age. He studied piano and then received an undergraduate degree in music and English literature; a master's in music from the Juilliard School in New York City and a doctorate from Columbia University. Field studied and deepened his musical knowledge with Noel Zahler, Zosia Jacynowicz, John Anthony, Linda Skernick, Milton Babbitt, George Edwards and Mario Davidovsky, among others.

Years of Research, Works by Steve Reich and John Cage and World Premieres in Sergio Sorrentino’s New Album for Electric Guitar

LONDON, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- "ELECTRIC" by Sergio Sorrentino, produced by Rick Romano and distributed by RMN Classical, will be published worldwide on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, and all the platforms on August 28, 2020. The album includes performances of works by renowned composers of today's contemporary scene such as Steve Reich, John King, John Cage and Joji Yuasa, and will also feature four world premieres.

The works premiered on the album are "Electric Prelude," by Sergio Sorrentino, "Glitch," by Rick Romano, "Spire VI," by Cesare Saldicco, and "Chase," by Ayal Adler.

"Thanks to RMN Classical, I've been able to create 'Electric,' an album built upon years of research on the contemporary repertoire for electric guitar. This album contains a huge piece of my musical world," Sorrentino says, "starting from my versions of masterpieces such as Steve Reich's 'Electric Counterpoint,' and Leo Brouwer's 'Paisaje Cubano con Lluvia,' passing through King, Cage, Bouffard and Yuasa, up to exciting new works dedicated to me by Romano, Saldicco, and Adler."

Sorrentino started his international concert career very early and has held solo concerts and masterclasses in many prestigious festivals and venues around the world.

"The album is full of different styles; whose common thread is the richness of the guitar sound. Minimalism, new music, avant-garde music, electronics are all present.

Simprints Launches 2nd Generation of their SecuGen Based Fingerprint Scanner, ‘Vero 2.0,’ to Improve Coverage of Vaccines and other Global Health Interventions

SANTA CLARA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Simprints, a Cambridge, UK-based biometrics company, develops Vero 2.0, an evolution of their original Vero scanner, based on SecuGen's fingerprint module, to improve the distribution of healthcare, microfinance, and aid to the poor around the world.

Simprints is a nonprofit technology company that develops and deploys biometric technology uniquely for global health and development contexts. Traditional "Western" biometric technology is less effective in such contexts, where the environment in which people live means that they are more likely to have scarred or worn fingerprints. In contrast, Simprints built their system to be highly accurate with these kinds of challenging biometrics. Simprints' solution integrates with existing mobile tools used by international NGOs and government ministries to verify that their services are reaching the intended beneficiaries. To date, the organization has helped more than 12 partners reach over 387,000 people across South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.

The development of Vero 2.0 was kickstarted by a partnership with Gavi, The Vaccine Alliance, and NEC to boost immunization coverage worldwide. Leveraging technology from Arm and SecuGen, Vero 2.0 has the following features: Near-Field Communications (NFC) to facilitate a seamless, wireless Bluetooth pairing with a mobile device; a redesigned printed circuit board (PCB) powered by the ARM Cortex-M0 32-bit MCU that enables streamlined manufacture; configurable LED colors for increased cultural acceptability and accessibility for the color-blind; fast image-transfer from scanner to mobile and backend storage for robust matching capabilities: and SecuGen's high-resolution fingerprint sensor module capable of achieving up to 1,700 DPI for detailed image capture. Simprints is working with local manufacturer, Prima Electronic Services, to build 1,400 units for immediate use in healthcare projects across sub-Saharan Africa.

An improvement on its predecessor, Vero 2.0 is highly accurate, durable, wireless, water- and dust-proof, and ergonomic for health workers in low-resource areas. This development will bring Simprints and its partners one step closer to accurately verifying the identities of patients from 1 year old and above, in order to ensure that every single person is reached with life-saving medical care.

"Simprints helps us save time and labor. We like working with the scanner because it's easier to identify patients," says a community research assistant in Malawi.

"Simprints makes our workflow flawless. We had challenges before, like supply bottlenecks. We'd end up giving too many shoes, only to realize not too many of these children actually exist. So, we tied our distribution to a fingerprint," says the leader of a local health organization in Kenya.

Jeff Brown, SecuGen's VP of Sales added, "We were delighted to support Simprints to develop a product that met their specifications while keeping the costs down. We are excited to have our fingerprint technology play a part in projects involving low resource settings where the lives of so many can benefit."

"Simprints is an impressive group of people with an equally impressive dedication to doing good in the world," stated Won Lee, SecuGen's CEO. "It is a privilege to work with them to bring such an important product to fruition."

Nick Russel, Chairman of Prima Electronic Services, said, "Manufacturing a product that has such a positive impact on communities is something the team here at Prima are very proud to be involved with."

OnlyFans Set to Introduce the Free Livestream Series ‘OnlyFans Friday’ with Platinum Music Artist Yung Bleu

LONDON, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- Today, popular creator platform OnlyFans (London, United Kingdom) in collaboration with Splash Life Booking (SLB) announces the official launch of a new Livestream content series "OnlyFans Friday" involving celebrity content creators, who will host Free Live Stream performances, exclusively on their OnlyFans Profile. The first live stream show of the series will premiere Friday, June 26, 2020, at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, and will feature Platinum-recording artist, Yung Bleu (a/k/a Bleu Vandross) on his verified OnlyFans account http://www.onlyfans.com/bleuvandross.

The 26-year-old rising star has surpassed 350 million streams establishing a cult-like musical following all over the world. In 2017 the singer-songwriter broke through with the infectious hit single "Miss It" addressing the topic of heartbreak and relatable relationship issues we all experience with our significant other.

Following the release of his first gold single, Bleu followed up with the 5th installment to his popular mixtape series "Investments" which features his second gold single "Ice on Baby" and other stand out songs "Unappreciated" "Slide Thru" and "Smooth Operator" featuring Lil Durk. The buzz and popularity of "Investments 5" grabbed the attention of multi-platinum Grammy-nominated artist Kevin Gates, blessing Bleu with a standout verse on the remix to his hit single "Ice on my Baby." Following the success of their collaboration, Kevin invited Bleu on his first American tour, in the fall of 2018 playing, 35 concerts together, during the "Luca Brasi 3 Tour"

The over 800K YouTube subscribers and nearly one million Instagram followers have spearheaded Yung Bleu into the forefront of Alabama's remerging music scene. In 2019, Bleu released his debut album "Investments 6," on Columbia Records and also expanded his portfolio, by launching his own imprint, Vandross Music Group (VMG). Yung Bleu also opened his first restaurant located, in his hometown of Mobile Alabama, named Gwen's House. The year of 2019 was the year Yung Bleu solidified his Brand in the history books diversifying his investment philosophy into business outside of Entertainment.

With 2020 starting off so unpredictable, Bleu was forced to adjust his approaches like many other musicians and touring performers due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

New Better Topics Card Game Helps Couples and Families Strengthen Relationships

SHEFFIELD, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- A new card game is on the horizon that has the potential to strengthen and improve relationships. Better Topics, a replayable card game created by Diana and Robert Indries, is a catalyst to help people have more fun, more meaningful conversations and better communication.

Diana and Robert have created a Kickstarter campaign to help launch a hands-on game and app: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dianaindries/better-topics-replayable-card-game-for-couples.

"We and a few of our friends play the game every week. It helps us set aside time for one another and makes us look forward to having the deep conversations we need to grow our relationship. I'm convinced it will help other couples and families too," Diana says.

The world is in turmoil right now and relationships are no exception. In 2019, the U.S. Census reported two million new marriages, yet there were 800,000 new divorces. That's 40 percent.

"And what about the other 60 percent?" Diana wonders. "What's the real quality of those relationships?"

To help find a solution, Diana and Robert set out to create a game that not only has the potential to help relationships grow stronger, but to incite more joy and excitement too.

"The only thing that can make relationships stronger is constant, caring attention," Diana says.

"Better Topics" is a springboard for meaningful discussions that come naturally. Some sample questions include: What was your favorite thing we did together last week? What's one thing we could do next week that would help to put a spark in our relationship? What is one trait about me you noticed recently, that you would want me to keep? There's also a points system for real-life rewards, clear rules, elements that make it fun, strategies to win, and weekly couple challenges.

"During our research, we found and played other card games, but they all asked questions that were limited in nature such as, 'What's your favorite flavor ice cream?'" Robert says. "Our game has ever-relevant questions and other fun elements so it can be played every single week. It's a game you can build on."

iTrinegy to Exhibit at SD-WAN Expo Florida 2020

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- iTrinegy announced today that it will be showcasing its Software-Defined Test Networks at SD-WAN Expo being held February 11 - 14, 2020 at the Greater Fort Lauderdale/ Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. SD-WAN Expo is the leading forum for enterprise executives, service providers, and technology vendors to connect, learn and discuss how the market is growing and how to make the most of the SD-WAN opportunity.

The event includes a robust exhibit floor, industry perspectives, case studies, unique panels and presentations, special events, networking opportunities and much more.

Meet iTrinegy at SD-WAN Expo at booth #830 to learn more about iTrinegy's strategy for enabling both SD-WAN vendors and purchasing Enterprises to achieve realistic SD-WAN Proof-of-Concept and Proof-of-Value testing: https://itrinegy.com/solution-by-task/sd-wan-testing/.

"All organizations will have a concern when introducing new networks into the production environment, namely: Will they be able to deliver the anticipated benefits of SD-WAN without compromising existing application performance and service delivery? Vendors share this concern as they are often asked to demonstrate the effectiveness of their solution to the enterprises," explains iTrinegy Senior Technical Specialist, Frank Puranik. "Whether they are enterprises or vendors what they need is some way to conduct realistic pre-deployment testing of how applications will behave in the new network environment before actually investing in the proposed new infrastructure."

"This is where iTrinegy comes in. Our Software Defined Test Network (SD-TN) products enable both enterprises and vendors to recreate network topologies that accurately mimic the proposed real-world networks, like the Internet, MPLS and Cellular and their associated conditions including bandwidth, latency, loss and jitter."

Frank continues, "For the enterprise, this ability to see if the proposed SD-WAN solution works effectively in even the most trying of circumstances should provide the reassurance that they are making a sound investment. At the same time, a Software Defined Test Network enables SD-WAN vendors to demonstrate their products operating in a realistic equivalent of the customer's network, providing direct proof that it will work as expected when implemented."

Visitors to the iTrinegy booth will be able to discover how its Software Defined Test Network products enable customers and vendors to validate SD-WAN in a controllable environment that accurately mimics real-world WAN circuits, so that realistic proof-of-concept tests can be performed and repeated under both normal and challenging network conditions.

You can hear more from Frank by attending The 20 Questions...Go panel session on Friday 14 February 2020, where he, together with fellow panelists, will provide invaluable insight into what you need to do in the early phases of the SD-WAN research/deployment process, including realistic proof-of-concept testing in order to successfully select and implement the right SD-WAN solution for your organization.

Pop Up World’s ‘Investor Connector’ Aims to Disrupt Shark Tank and Dragon’s Den

LONDON, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- If you are a budding entrepreneur looking for start-up funds your only option could be family and friends, crowdfunding or maybe just maybe if you are accepted, an appearance on Shark Tank or Dragon's Den. Graham Jules, founder and CEO of Pop Up World is familiar with the plight of the underdog and small business owner.

In 2014 he battled with media giants Marvel and DC Entertainments over the trade mark "Superheroes" due to the title of his start-up manual "Business Zero To Superhero." Amazingly, after a two-and-a-half-year legal battle, he won.

Following on from that success Jules has launched an alternative to the well-loved entrepreneurial TV programmes, an app called Investor Connector.

Jules says, "The problem is, despite crowdfunding and programmes like Dragon's Den, funding is still hard to come by for many start-ups. Investor Connector is like a Tinder for Investors! Start-ups get to post their pitch decks online and investors use criteria they set to download or 'like' the proposals. If an investor downloads a pitch deck the start-up can contact the investor and begin a dialogue. Investors can swipe or scroll on their mobile or desktop."

The platform boasts 800+ venture capital and angel investment networks. Jules adds, "It's important to note that we do not get involved in any deals or take any commission. We simply act as a 'dating site' for start-ups and potential investors."

So how does Investor Connector compare to crowdfunding where multiple investors or the "crowd" invest in a start-up venture? Jules replies, "Investor Connector is different. Crowdfunding aims to receive multiple micro-investments and if the start-up's target is reached the venture is funded. With Investor Connector we are looking to match start-ups with firms that can fund your business in its entirety, so no middle man or multiple shareholders or success fees here."

It's a well-known statistic that 90% of start-ups fail, one of the key reasons stated for that failure is often lack of funding.

Jules comments, "Yes, it's a sad statistic but ironically there have never been so many opportunities for start-ups. The problem is one of visibility. If you can't get your start-up under the nose of the right investment firm, it's tough. Raising funds is a full-time job in itself, Investor Connector aims to lighten that load."

So, if you are a new business wary of being bitten by the Dragon's or Sharks, Pop Up World's Investor Connector may be an option to investigate.

Start-ups can register by going to https://popupworld.co.uk/investorconnector-land2

Investment firms can access the app by contacting Pop Up World at https://popupworld.co.uk/contact

UK Entrepreneur Battled with Superheroes to Make it to Los Angeles TechDay

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- We all know launching a start-up is hard but British entrepreneur, Graham Jules of Pop Up World(R) London bit off more than he could chew. Marvel and DC Entertainment's solicitors threatened legal action because of the word "Superheroes" in the title of his start-up manual Business Zero to Superhero. Marvel and DC jointly own the trademark to Superheroes.

Undeterred, Graham, a Business Law graduate, donned his cape and a two-and-a-half-year legal battle ensued which amazingly resulted in Marvel and DC backing down and Jules's start-up awarded the trademark in 2016.

Jules says: "Just because you're a start-up, doesn't mean you can't take on the big boys!"

Fast forward to 2019 and Jules is hoping to showcase his latest project, Pop Up World, at Tech Day LA on Sept. 26, 2019. It aims to help other start-ups launch and grow. Pop Up World is a one-stop shop for start-ups.

Jules says, "If you want to watch a movie you may go to Netflix. If you want to buy a book you would go to Amazon. But where do you go if you are launching a start-up? The answer is Pop Up World. We offer services that start-ups need to launch and grow from company formation to a commercial space finder to business advice and even an AI you can talk to and ask business questions."

Battling superheroes and launching a business is super hard and not recommended for the faint-hearted. Jules adds, "Yes, running a start-up is difficult, we are hoping to lighten that load, with our service and are looking to enter the US market".

He has certainly chosen the right place. TechDay Los Angeles opens its doors on the 26th of September 2019 at The Reef, 1933 S Broadway, Los Angeles, CA 90007, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

The event will host some key sponsors from Amazon Web Services, to Uber and 250 super-exciting tech start-ups will exhibit.

VITEC Deploys iTrinegy’s NE-ONE to Optimize IP Encoder-Decoder Performance Over Networks for a Better Viewer Experience

LONDON, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- IBC Amsterdam -- iTrinegy, leading providers of Software Defined Virtual Test Networks, are pleased to announce that VITEC, a prominent worldwide end-to-end video streaming solutions provider for broadcast, military and government, enterprise, sports and entertainment venues, has selected iTrinegy's NE-ONE Network Emulator to enhance their IP Encoder/Decoder testing capability.

Combining broadcasting with live streaming capabilities, VITEC's H.265 (HEVC) and H.264 offering is the most extensive in the market with encoding and decoding appliances, IPTV solutions for desktops and mobile devices, and PCI cards with SDK for integration projects.

Wishing to ensure their solutions continued to meet and ideally exceed customers' expectations, VITEC looked to deploy network emulation technology to enhance their QA and testing procedures by enabling them to create a virtual test network in which to verify the resilience of its products to lossy IP transmission links such as The Internet or Satellite.

iTrinegy's NE-ONE Network Emulator helps VITEC achieve this objective by reproducing, within the lab, a comprehensive range of network types and manipulating characteristics such as Packet Loss, Network Jitter (Packet Delay Variation), Packet Corruption, Packet Duplication and Packet Reordering in order to stress test media content transmissions.

Using the NE-ONE VITEC are able to:
* Test transport protection technology and error correction algorithms for video, audio and metadata transmission
* Test and validate VITEC products that integrate these transport protocols and algorithms
* Reproduce their clients' use cases: simulating their own network conditions (The Internet, Satellite, RF,...) in order to enhance incident management and accelerate resolution times.

Included in VITEC's selection criteria when choosing an appropriate network emulator was ease-of-use and test automation and the NE-ONE Model 20, offering both the ability to quickly select pre-defined network environments and the capability to perform automatic regression testing by utilizing the built-in scripting / command line functionality, have helped VITEC achieve significant time saving during their testing procedures.

However, when asked what the major benefit of using the NE-ONE is, Richard Bernard, Senior Product Manager, VITEC commented that, "The iTrinegy solution helps us deliver optimized IP encoding and decoding solutions to the market. Ultimately, it assures our customers that VITEC products are very effective in lossy IP networks, giving them the confidence to deploy VITEC technology into their streaming environments."

iTrinegy Director, Graham Wood responded, "We are delighted to have VITEC as a new customer using our NE-ONE product. They join a significant number of broadcast and media sector organizations that recognize the value of being able to easily configure and deploy a wide range of networks and network conditions, within their test labs."

Wood adds, "The success of any broadcast or streaming service is ultimately defined by the perceived user experience. So having the ability to quickly identify and mitigate network-related issues both during development and test, ensures broadcast and streaming media providers enhance their ability to deliver the best viewer experience possible."

We might say the NE-ONE lives up to its name as anyone can use it. Now we are able to create our testing scenarios in a very fluid way that reduces the overall bug fixing cycle, saving us time and improving game quality. There is every reason to be content with the progress made so far".

2nd Annual Global C.diff. Walks in US and UK to Raise Awareness on Importance of Clostridium difficile Infections Worldwide

TEANECK, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Presented by the C Diff Foundation, the 2nd Annual Global C.diff. Awareness 2K Walks will take place on Saturday, May 19 at three separate locations: Morris A. Votee Park, Teaneck, New Jersey; Sims Park, New Port Richey, Florida; and in Leicester, England. All locations will include t-shirts and resourceful educational material for all registered walkers. The U.S. locations will also include water bottles and hydration stations.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Clostridium difficile infection (C. difficile) "has become the most common microbial cause of healthcare-associated infections in U.S. hospitals and costs up to $4.8 billion each year in excess health care costs for acute care facilities alone." Statistics provided by the CDC suggest that C. difficile cause nearly 500,000 infections in patients in the U.S. annually. In one study noted by the CDC, among infected patients, nearly 29,000 died within 30 days of being diagnosed, and more than half of those deaths (15,000) were directly attributable to a C. difficile infection.

The Global C. diff. Walks will raise awareness of

Clostridium difficile (C. diff.) infection prevention and provide educational material while introducing the communities to the resources available. C.diff. infections are one of the leading health issues facing local communities.

"Every day the C Diff Foundation works to educate and advocate for C. difficile infection prevention, treatments, environmental safety and support worldwide to save lives. Our dedicated volunteering members are focused on improving the lives of individuals and families that are impacted by a C.diff. infection," says Nancy Caralla, Founding President of the C Diff Foundation.

SUDC Foundation Celebrates Launch of UK Affiliate, SUDC UK

CEDAR GROVE, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC) Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of its affiliate in the United Kingdom, SUDC UK. The SUDC Foundation, which is based in the United States, serves over 800 families in 18 countries who have experienced the unique challenges and unanswered questions that follow a sudden, unexpected and unexplained loss of a child.

SUDC UK will build upon the SUDC Foundation's efforts in the U.K. to increase awareness of SUDC and raise funds for expanded research initiatives on one of the most under-recognized medical tragedies of our time.

Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC) is a category of death in children over the age of one year which remains unexplained after a thorough investigation and autopsy. Most often, SUDC occurs in otherwise healthy children during sleep. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at least 400 children in the United States are lost annually to SUDC. It is most common in young children and is the fifth leading category of death among children ages of 1 to 4 years. Comparably, the Office of National Statistics for England and Wales states 42 children were lost to SUDC in 2016, of which 25 were aged 1-4 years.

"We are so excited to announce the launch of SUDC UK," said Laura Gould Crandall, Executive Director and Co-Founder of the SUDC Foundation. "The SUDC Foundation is proud of its history of being the only worldwide organization devoted to supporting those who have been devastated by SUDC. SUDC UK will help us expand our outreach efforts to support more U.K. families and advocate for research that will further our understanding of SUDC and ways to prevent it."

"Nikki, Helen and I are proud to announce the birth of SUDC UK, an affiliate to the SUDC Foundation and a U.K. charity whose sole purpose is to promote awareness, advocate for more research and build a connected and compassionate SUDC community," said Camilla Gooden Co-Founder of SUDC UK. "SUDC UK is launched in memory of all our children and we hope we can make a difference by shining their light on SUDC. We are eternally thankful to the SUDC Foundation for supporting us on our journey to make this happen. We very much hope to see as many U.K. families as possible at our launch on 21st April."

SUDC UK will enhance the SUDC Foundation's efforts to support the needs of the SUDC community in the United Kingdom. While the SUDC Foundation will continue to provide bereavement support to SUDC families in the U.K., SUDC UK will spearhead a national public awareness campaign to raise awareness of SUDC in the U.K. as well as raise funds for expanded SUDC research initiatives. Through prior efforts, leadership of SUDC UK have raised over $228,000 (£184,500) in funding to support SUDC and bereaved families.

SUDC UK will celebrate its launch at an event on Saturday, April 21st at Chessington World of Adventures Resort supported by The Lullaby Trust. The event will honor families whose toddler or child died suddenly and unexpectedly as well as feature a presentation on the work of SUDC UK.

Startup Empowers Girls to Learn, Grow, Dream – and Build Startups

CAMBRIDGE, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- Girls Inspired Globally is a new startup that seeks to allow young women to improve themselves and the world through imaginative use of readily available technologies like smart phone apps, online video, and social media.

According to co-founder and COO Soani Gunawan, "Young people are often accused of wasting incredible amounts of time on social networks and cell phones, and many do. But the same tools can be used to create amazing growth experiences."

Examples: In France, a young woman conducts a worldwide online participatory experiment to explore and feel rare culturally specific emotions such as hygge, sabsung, and shinrin-yoku.

In India, a college student works on an interactive multi-player online video game which invites participants from around the world to cooperate instead of compete.

In China, a teenager builds a startup that utilizes the branch of AI known as Swarm Intelligence to predict which films and TV shows will gain public acclaim.

In California another girl cooperates with a partner in Ghana to import handmade cotton dashikis produced by a Fair Trade social enterprise.

Members of GIG come from 26 countries and range in age from 16 to 68.

Says Director of Strategy John Toomey, "Every project we support must contain five elements: it must help the world in some meaningful way, encourage skill building, promote friendship, inspire others, and last but not least, be FUN."

According to Educational Director Amy Chang, the process is similar whether a young woman is building a non-profit, a startup, a video game, a charity, an online museum, an NGO, a Fair Trade social enterprise, or a group psychology experiment.

A girl comes up with an idea for a project. Then she
1. Uses GIG's network to find passionate partners;

2. Builds project pages on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, Instagram, Google +, Reddit, Imgur, and LinkedIn. (One of the lessons GIG teaches is that each social network and media channel has a different audience and personality, and must be approached appropriately.)

3. Announces the project to the world with press releases

4. Uses GIG's resources to append expert authority and celebrity attention to the project.

Along the way women practice skills that our modern connected world benefits from, but that are rarely taught in schools: building social media followings, mind mapping, crowdfunding, using press releases to test concepts, and group brainstorming.

The group's philosophy is especially attractive to students, and chapters are forming at Cambridge, Princeton, Yale, Berkeley, Stanford, Harvard, and Oxford.

Want To Find Out If You’re Addicted To WhatsApp? The New Dr.Fone Test Can Tell You Just That!

LONDON, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- Whilst having a potential WhatsApp addiction might not seem to be a big issue, stopping to think about how often you use the app might alert you to just how much of your day is spent: checking, messaging and uploading media through WhatsApp. Dr.Fone have devised a clever test which asks a variety of questions about a person's WhatsApp use. The answers are very specific so feedback at the end of the test can tell users exactly how 'addicted' they might be to the app.

Dr.Fone have displayed a list of other signs of WhatsApp addiction on their website. Side-effects might include: wrist and finger joint pain (possibly leading to more sinister conditions); lack of concentration and thus distraction from real life activities; social anxiety and a relinquishing social life. Whilst a few of these symptoms might be taken light-heartedly, they could actually lead to an individual having serious health problems, both physically and mentally; so whilst taking a WhatsApp addiction test might seem like a bit of fun, it could be the wake-up call some users need in order to get their priorities in check.

After completing the online WhatsApp addiction quiz on the Dr.Fone website, web visitors can then benefit from reading Dr.Fone's list of 8 ways to overcome a WhatsApp addiction. The support could help even moderate users in developing a healthier relationship with the app. Besides suggestions such as uninstalling WhatsApp, the list of 8 offers some really useful suggestions about how an individual can keep on using the app without continuing to have a dependence on it. One suggestion is that users disable notifications so that they can check messages on their own time, without feeling pressure to reply instantly. Setting aside a schedule for usage is another one of Dr.Fone's helpful suggestions as it means that an individual isn't thinking about WhatsApp when it's not appropriate or necessary to do so.

Experts at Dr.Fone are keen to offer support and advice to their web visitors by giving a list of hints and tips about how to use WhatsApp most effectively and efficiently, leaving users time and energy to enjoy daily life. These hints offer details such as: what the various WhatsApp 'ticks' actually mean, how to backup messages and media and how to manage WhatsApp groups efficiently. In essence their message to users is this: use and enjoy WhatsApp to the fullest but don't let it take over your life.

Dr.Fone Provides Zero-Day Support for iOS 11 Update

LONDON, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- Apple users are keen to upgrade to iOS 11 but many are uncertain of any possible negative effects the upgrade may have on their current working systems, especially when it comes to stored media. Dr.Fone, data recovery specialists, are offering zero-day support with the upgrade in order to eliminate worries, even to new iPhone 8 users.

The arrival of the new Apple iOS 11 operating system is being hyped up to be a huge shift for advanced mobile operating systems, offering features never seen before, including a dock which changes according to your usage and preferences; split view for apps and the advanced Apple pencil for the iPad.

This then offers them complete backup, with the opportunity to export anything from the backup to their computer. It also allows customers to preview and restore any item from their backup, with a guarantee of no data loss during the restore.

Should an issue arise when updating, Dr.Fone's system recovery service is there to allow clients complete peace of mind. The service recovers a phone or device to 'normal,' with no data loss whatsoever. It is also able to fix system issues such as the white Apple logo, recovery mode and looping at the start.

Dr.Fone pride themselves in offering their clients a foolproof service, with guaranteed results. They are also pleased that their service gives customers confidence that they are running their devices, through the update, at 100 percent efficiency. The company are urging Apple users to run their test prior to upgrading to iOS 11 in order to become aware of any possible issues their device might encounter during the upgrade. To take the test, customers can visit the Dr.Fone website and click on the 'Must-have test' link.

According to dr.fone, FBI Can’t Find Anything on Your iPhone, Even with $900,000 or More

LONDON, UK /ScoopCloud/ -- For many, Apple's iPhone is the number one choice for security and safety of user data, says dr.fone toolkit. It's been widely accepted for many years that Apple puts privacy high on the agenda when it comes to its operating systems and smart devices.

So the tech world was taken by surprise in 2016 when following the San Bernardino terrorist attack, the FBI commissioned a private company to "hack" the suspect's iPhone - a figure that reportedly totalled $900,000! Whilst Apple's security clearly stands up to the test, there are a number of ways user data can be vulnerable to hackers.

1) ICloud -- Useful as it is in the event of loss or corrupted data, automatically backing your iPhone up to an iCloud account can leave you open to having your information exploited. Having your images, videos and other important data sitting in your iCloud account can be hacked considerably easier than your device itself.

2) ITunes -- Many Apple users fail to realise how dangerous a hacked iTunes account can be. As with an iCloud account, iTunes copies information and data from your device and stores it on iTunes. Hackers are able to find this data and exploit it to identify your purchased music, videos and films along with more worrying data such as credit and debit card details.

3) Recently deleted items -- Despite believing deleted data is gone for good, recently deleted data such as photos and videos does not get fully deleted. In fact it simply gets moved to another location where it can still be accessed.

So the burning question is simply, how can I enhance my privacy and secure my data? Thankfully, there are a number of steps that can be taken to ensure your data remains safe.

* Disable iCloud back-up, to disable iCloud backup users can go to 'settings' and tap 'Apple ID.' Scroll right to the bottom of the page and selecting 'sign out', then type in your password and then tap 'turn off' at the bottom of the page.

* The other option is to delete iTunes backup files to prevent them getting into the wrong hands. Within iTunes click 'preferences' and then 'devices' before selecting the back-up file you'd like to remove. Click 'delete back-up' and your data will no longer be stored.

However, although there are some easy and effective steps to take, software developer Wondershare have now launched dr.fone - iOS Full Data Eraser to guarantee a complete and irrecoverable wipe of all Apple iPhone data from a device.

Wondershare Announce the Launch of Nokia 3310 Consumer Survey

LONDON, U.K. /ScoopCloud/ -- With the constant battle of global tech giants raging, brands such as Apple, Google, Sony and Samsung are forever pushing the limits of consumer tech further than ever before, says tech firm Wondershare. Yet whilst stretching the technological horizon is the ultimate aim of every self-respecting brand, a small Finnish start-up has rocked the mobile industry by announcing the relaunch of the iconic Nokia 3310.

Choosing to take a nostalgic look backwards rather than progressively forward, HMD Global has announced plans to relaunch Nokia's successful 3310 model - a handset first seen 17 years ago. Expected to relaunch this summer at a price of $52 (a mere drop in the ocean compares to the prices of Apple's iPhone or Samsung's Galaxy ranges), the Nokia 3310 had a reputation for being near indestructible.

In light of the recent market announcement to revive the only phone to sport a 30 day battery life, software company Wondershare has launched an online running survey of mobile phone users to ask the simple question, "Will you buy a Nokia 3310?"

While there, participants can learn about Wondershare's dr.fone software, and download tools to transfer old Android/iPhone data to new Nokia 6, and/or recover deleted photos, videos, contacts, messaging, etc. on Nokia 6.

The survey, hosted on the company's website, has to date received over 2100 votes, with the results currently showing a landslide victory for the "yes" vote at 74%. In addition to the vote, the survey provides an opportunity for participants to comment on their yes or no vote.

Wondershare are keen to involve as many participants in the survey as possible. Individuals interested in taking part can visit the Nokia 3310 survey at: https://drfone.wondershare.com/yes-or-no/will-you-buy-nokia-6.html.
