From Cairo to Canada: Mohsen Rifaat explores identity, history, and belonging in ‘Spaces between the Nile and the True North’

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 14, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — In his new memoir, “Spaces between the Nile and the True North: Negotiating Egyptian-Canadian Cultural Fusion” (ISBN: 978-1834381282; released by Tellwell Publishing), author Mohsen Rifaat reflects on a life shaped by migration, cultural change, and the search for belonging. Blending personal memories with historical insight and his own artwork, the book follows his journey from British-occupied and revolutionary Egypt to a new life in Canada.

Image caption: Cover, “Spaces between the Nile and the True North: Negotiating Egyptian-Canadian Cultural Fusion.”

Leaving Cairo in 1968 with his newlywed wife, Sarah, Rifaat began building a new life while navigating the challenges of adapting to a different culture without losing sight of his roots. Over the decades, his career spanned architecture, urban planning, public service, diplomacy, and international business, offering a unique perspective on the intersections of two countries and two identities.

Throughout the memoir, Rifaat also highlights lesser-known historical connections between Egypt and Canada, including how the Suez Crisis influenced Canada’s adoption of the maple leaf flag and the role of a Canadian ambassador in preserving an important heritage building in Cairo. These stories are woven together with reflections on family, identity, and the experience of living between cultures.

Illustrated with Rifaat’s own watercolors, sketches, photographs, and personal memorabilia, the memoir offers readers both a visual and literary record of a life lived across continents.

“Spaces between the Nile and the True North” has drawn praise from author and educator Crystal Hurdle, who writes: “His life becomes a literal and metaphorical collage, the rich text embedded with his images: sumptuous watercolours, blueprints, sketches, photos, and ephemera, a sensory delight.”

Rifaat grew up in Cairo’s Belle Époque and trained as an architect before earning a graduate degree in urban planning from the University of Toronto. Now living in Vancouver, he continues to reflect on his experiences through writing and painting, sharing stories of his life and heritage with future generations.

“Spaces between the Nile and the True North: Negotiating Egyptian-Canadian Cultural Fusion” is available in paperback (ISBN-13: 978-1834381282).

Poetry Collection Reflects on Nature, Memory, and Quiet Observation

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 29, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — “Love, Life and Mother Nature: Picture Book of Poems” (ISBN: 978-1834182124 released September, 2025 by Tellwell Publishing) by James C. Glassford is a poetry collection that explores the natural world as a source of reflection, learning, and emotional grounding. Paired with original photography, the book presents nature as both a physical environment and a place for personal contemplation.

Image caption: “Love, Life and Mother Nature: Picture Book of Poems” by James C. Glassford.

Glassford, a retired physician living on Vancouver Island, has maintained a lifelong relationship with the outdoors. He views nature as an alternate classroom and a steady teacher, offering lessons that inform both daily life and creative expression. This perspective shapes the collection, which includes poems about forests, coastlines, wildlife, and moments of stillness, as well as the ways people relate to and interpret the world around them.

While much of the book reflects adult observation and lived experience, some poems examine nature through imagination and memory. One poem, “Nature and a Child’s Mind,” considers how children interpret outdoor experiences through storytelling and familiar narratives, blending observation with creativity.

The book also recognizes the collaborative work behind its creation. The photography featured throughout the collection was taken by the author’s wife, Lynn. Glassford acknowledges the encouragement of friends and family, as well as editorial and production support from the Tellwell Publishing team. The collection includes a poem written in the oral tradition of the Haida Nation, inspired by Haida artist Mike Bellis and his coastal carvings.

“Love, Life and Mother Nature” is suited for readers interested in poetry that engages with nature, reflection, and human experience across different stages of life.

80th Anniversary of Auschwitz Liberation Marked by the Release of ‘Kalman & Leopold – Surviving Mengele’s Auschwitz,’ told in their own words

VANCOUVER, B.C., Canada, Jan. 20, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — On January 27, 2025, the world will commemorate the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. On this historic day, author Richard K. Lowy launches ”Kalman and Leopold – Surviving Mengele’s Auschwitz” (ISBN: 978-1779410092), a powerful firsthand account of resilience and survival in the face of unimaginable evil, released by Tellwell Publishing.

Image caption: ”Kalman and Leopold – Surviving Mengele’s Auschwitz” by Richard K. Lowy.

This extraordinary book tells the true story of two young boys—Leopold, the author’s father, and his friend Kalman—both twins from separate families, who were brought together in Auschwitz and became victims of Dr. Josef Mengele’s brutal experiments. Separated from their twin sisters, the boys endured harrowing conditions in “Mengele’s Zoo” and witnessed the inner workings of the camp’s hospital barracks and SS guard shack. Their bond and courage helped them survive the horrors that claimed millions.

For six and a half months, Leopold became Kalman’s protector, guiding him through the horrors of the guard shack with his sharp wit and unwavering courage. When the Russian Army liberated Auschwitz in January 1945, the boys were separated and presumed each other dead. For 56 years, Kalman searched for “his Lipa,” the boy who protected him.

Why This Story Matters

Eighty years after the liberation of Auschwitz, Holocaust survivors’ voices are fading. Kalman and Leopold preserves an unparalleled perspective, offering firsthand insights into Mengele’s experiments and the unique experiences of twin children imprisoned in Auschwitz. The book highlights not just the atrocities but also the extraordinary resilience of the human spirit.

A Timely Call to Action

As antisemitism and Holocaust denial rise globally, Kalman and Leopold serves as both a warning and a call to preserve history. This anniversary is not just a remembrance—it is a demand to confront hatred, uphold the truth, and educate future generations.

Events Honoring the Release

On January 27, commemorative events and discussions will take place worldwide to honor this milestone. The release of Kalman and Leopold will be central to these efforts, offering a deeply personal narrative that connects history to the ongoing fight against prejudice and oppression.

Praise for “Kalman & Leopold”

“Lowy’s narrative technique immerses readers in the lived experiences of his subjects, making their pain, resilience, and humanity palpable in ways that transcend traditional historical documentation.” – K.C. Finn for Readers’ Favorite

About the Author:

Richard K. Lowy, the son of Leopold, is an internationally acclaimed producer and creative director whose work has spanned collaborations with legendary artists and world leaders. His passion for preserving his father’s history led him to create Leo’s Journey: The Story of the Mengele Twins, a documentary narrated by EGOT-winning actor Christopher Plummer. (leosjourney.com) Lowy’s dedication to honoring the voices of Holocaust survivors culminates in this deeply personal and historically significant book.

VANCOUVER, B.C., Canada, Nov. 1, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Rising Canadian poet Lauren Gouin announces the release of her debut poetry collection, “Chasing Shadows” (ISBN: 978-1998190546; Tellwell). Drawing from her own heartache, and inspired by the introspective style of contemporary poets like Rupi Kaur, Lauren crafts a narrative that resonates with anyone who has ever questioned their path in life.

Image caption: “Chasing Shadows” by author Lauren Gouin.

“Chasing Shadows” presents the story of a woman navigating life on autopilot. When the stability she once knew is shattered by an unclear diagnosis and the COVID-19 pandemic, she is forced to embark on an inward journey, exploring the uncharted territories of her mind and heart. On each vulnerable page, she grapples with the question of who she truly is and what she most desires.

Through Lauren’s evocative verses, “Chasing Shadows” delves into themes of love, loss, identity, and resilience. Her poetry doesn’t just tell a story – it evokes a feeling, a memory, a shared experience that makes you feel seen and understood. Whether she’s writing about love, heartbreak, trauma, or healing, her words carry a weight that is both personal and universal.

With its clear language and lack of capitalization, Lauren’s minimalist style strips away the unnecessary. This simplicity is powerful, allowing the emotions behind the words to shine through without distraction. Her poetry delivers powerful messages of heartache and healing in their most distilled form.

Journey through love, loss, and healing, and purchase your copy of “Chasing Shadows” today.

About the Author:

After achieving a bachelor’s degree in history from Queen’s University, Lauren Gouin spent her twenties travelling and living in various countries, on various continents. She lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina for one year and then moved to London, England for three to work in digital marketing.

At the age of 27, her life took an unexpected turn when a mysterious, acute illness forced her to move home. Left with an unclear diagnosis, half a year’s recovery, and total uncertainty, she re-evaluated her life’s direction. The road to a more creative career path became a source of healing as she enrolled in Vancouver Film School’s screenwriting program, a space to explore her love for the vibrational capacity of story. Her journey as a poet was born shortly after her graduation.

She is now a writer/director for TV and film, a script editor, and a story consultant, but really, she is an artist of all sorts with a constant desire to put ideas on a page. Communication is her love language and these are her letters to those out there who, like her, feel drawn to the rhythmic beauty of words.

“Chasing Shadows” is now out through Tellwell Publishing (RRP $8.60) and available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indigo and more.

Author Brian D. McLean Releases New Book ‘Our Global Crisis,’ a Timely Examination of Climate Change and Societal Collapse

VANCOUVER, B.C., Canada, Oct. 29, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Brian D. McLean, a passionate conservationist and environmentalist, announced the release of his book, “Our Global Crisis” (ISBN: 978-0993607226; Tellwell), an urgent and insightful exploration of the environmental challenges facing humanity today.

Image caption: “Our Global Crisis” by Author Brian D. McLean.

As global temperatures rise, natural disasters intensify, and ecosystems degrade, McLean draws comparisons between modern society and the collapse of past civilizations such as the Incas, the Mayans, and the Rapanui of Easter Island. He warns that, without immediate action, we may be headed toward a similar fate.

“Our Global Crisis” takes readers on a journey through the environmental and societal patterns that have led to the downfall of great civilizations. It explores how climate change, rampant consumerism, and humanity’s ongoing exploitation of the planet are pushing us closer to a tipping point.

“Our thirst for consumer goods and other conveniences of life has grown at an alarming and disproportionate rate compared with our needs. This has put an enormous strain on our ability to locate and extract the natural resources of our planet,” writes McLean. He challenges readers to reconsider their impact on the planet, and offers practical solutions for adapting to the realities of climate change.

“The time for action is now,” McLean states. “Humanity’s ongoing exploitation of Earth has created problems that can no longer be ignored. If Earth and Life are to survive, each of us will need to make sacrifices. It is time to adapt. It is time for us to evolve.”

With 22 years of meticulous research, “Our Global Crisis” not only examines the factors contributing to environmental destruction but also presents a clear path toward sustainability. The final chapter provides actionable steps to avert catastrophe, from rethinking energy consumption to fostering a global commitment to conservation.

About the Author:

Brian D. McLean is a former Medical Laboratory Technologist and Information Systems Specialist who turned his passion for the outdoors into a new career focused on environmental conservation. Over the past two decades, he has worked to restore riparian and temperate forest ecosystems affected by clearcut forestry practices. A keen observer of human nature and a devoted environmentalist, McLean has spent the last 22 years compiling and crafting “Our Global Crisis”. When he isn’t working on environmental restoration, McLean enjoys stargazing and astrophotography.

McGregor Pedals Introduces the Classic Fuzz Pedal

VANCOUVER, B.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Boutique pedal company McGregor Pedals has launched its newest pedal: The Classic Fuzz. Designed for both guitar and bass, the Classic Fuzz pedal captures the sound, feel, and response of the original 1960s two-transistor fuzz boxes using all modern, stable parts. It is rich, moody, interactive and in the right hands, untamed.

"It follows on the heels of McGregor's previous acclaimed pedals -- designed and hand-soldered in Canada by Garth Heslop -- including the Crunch Transparent Overdrive, a single-channel, low-gain overdrive pedal, and the Crunch Plus Overdrive-distortion, a creamy medium-gain pedal," says company founder Garth Heslop.

Like the new Classic Fuzz, all McGregor Pedals are tuned for both guitar and bass.

See the Classic fuzz guitar demo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qo_xljBPnw

See the Classic fuzz bass demo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rlv-ReP_P3Q

THE CLASSIC FUZZ HAS A STRAIGHTFORWARD THREE-KNOB CONTROL SET AND SIDE-MOUNTED TRIMPOT:

* FUZZ: This allows you to dial in the amount of fuzz required. Since most of the action happens in the upper regions of typical fuzz pots, they used a reverse log pot here so that the final 15% starts at noon.

* BASS: this allows you to dial in the amount of bottom end you want. Fully right, this pedal is thick. For a sound more typical of modern silicon fuzz pedals, dial this back.

* VOLUME: This attenuates the post-effect signal.

* LED Brightness (unmarked trimpot on the side): Please make the adjustment gently using a jeweler's screwdriver.

KEY CLASSIC FUZZ FEATURES:

* Hand soldered in Canada

* High grade components picked for their superior sound and response

* True bypass with heavy duty switch

* Standard 9-volt DC center-negative power operation (no battery compartment)

* Top-mounted audio jacks and power input to help with packed pedal boards

The Classic Fuzz is currently priced at $185 and can be purchased directly from the McGregor Pedals online store via https://www.mcgregorpedals.com/.

Unveiling Hidden Treasures: Louise Dupont’s Journey of Healing and Inspiration

VANCOUVER, B.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- In the quiet corners of memory, amidst the shadows of loss, there often lie hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. For Louise Dupont, author of "Hidden Treasures" (IBSN: 978-0228876014; Tellwell Publishing), the journey to uncover these gems began with a simple photograph - a snapshot of her son.

"The inspiration for Hidden Treasures came from seeing the picture of my son juggling with fire," reflects Dupont. "One day as I was looking at the picture, it came to mind that a book would be written about this."

Yet, it wasn't until she stumbled upon a childhood story penned by her son, nestled among his graduation pictures, that the vision for her book began to crystallize.

"As I read his story I was taken aback by the symbolic messages found in it... I was very comforted by the idea of the ghost made of light that guided my son through the storm and brought him safely home," Dupont shares, her words echoing the poignant themes woven into her son's narrative.

The tale, titled "Lost in the Storm," resonated deeply with Dupont and those who encountered its profound symbolism. "Sure enough - people were quite surprised that such a young person could have written this very meaningful story," she reflects.

With a sense of purpose ignited within her, Dupont embarked on a mission to share her son's story with a wider audience. "Surely the messages contained in this story were not just for my eyes alone," she muses.

Drawing from her own experience of navigating the tumultuous waters of grief and loss, Dupont endeavored to infuse "Hidden Treasures" with a sense of hope and healing. "Since suicide is such a traumatic experience for everyone involved I really wanted the book to be uplifting and healing in nature," she explains.

Guided by words of solace received in sympathy cards and driven by a desire to bring attention to the important topics of suicide and mental health, Dupont meticulously curated every aspect of the book, from its soothing design to the inclusion of children's drawings and healing colors.

"My goal was to create a soothing and peaceful experience for the reader - even though the subject is such a difficult one," she shares.

As "Hidden Treasures" prepares to make its debut, Dupont remains hopeful that her book will serve as a beacon of light for those traversing the labyrinth of grief and healing.

"This endeavor turned out to be my way of bringing attention to the important topics of suicide and mental health issues," she reflects. "I am hopeful that the public will want to explore these themes with me."

In "Hidden Treasures," Louise Dupont invites readers to embark on a journey of discovery, where pain gives way to healing, and the shadows yield to the light of hope.

Rising Incivility Threatens Local Democracies: ‘Save Your City’ Presents an Urgent Roadmap for Civic Culture Renewal

VANCOUVER, B.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Tellwell Publishing today announced the release of the 5th Anniversary edition of Diane Kalen-Sukra's seminal book "Save Your City: How Toxic Culture Kills Community & What To Do About It" (ISBN: 978-0228810872; paper). In a climate where rising incivility and toxic culture increasingly threaten local democracies, this book arrives as a timely antidote.

This updated and illustrated edition presents a comprehensive "Roadmap to Renewing Civic Culture," equipping community leaders and citizens alike with practical steps to foster collaborative environments of respect, mutual understanding, and civil discourse.

Kalen-Sukra has spent the past five years on a civility tour (https://www.dianekalensukra.com/media), collaborating with local governments and communities across North America and beyond, to highlight and address the ways in which incivility and toxic behavior obstruct the abilities of cities and communities to manage pressing issues such as the infrastructure deficit, homelessness, and public safety.Top of Form

"The escalation of toxic behavior, from insults to threats to physical violence, significantly erodes social trust, reduces civic participation, and undermines policymaking," Kalen-Sukra says. "This cycle further fuels polarization, creating a vicious loop, which too often leads to dysfunction, resignations and even local governance collapse."

This is underscored by findings from the new Brenner Centre for Justice's report, "Intimidation of State and Local Officeholders: A Threat to Democracy," revealing that 40% of local officials are hesitant to seek re-election due to the surge in abuse and an equal number are reluctant to take on important but controversial issues. This trend disproportionately affects women and people of color, thereby limiting diverse viewpoints and ideas.

"In a democracy, might is not right," says Kalen-Sukra. "Resorting to harassment over political differences is both authoritarian and antithetical to democratic values."

"Local officials and governments are increasingly forced to invest in expensive security measures to protect themselves from their own constituents-the very people they represent and serve," Kalen-Sukra says. "This situation is both tragic and absurd."

"In order to thrive, our local democracies depend on our ability to revive the art of living and working well together," says Kalen-Sukra. "We stand at a crossroads: deeper division or collective renewal. The choice is ours."

"Save Your City" Book Summary

"Save Your City" takes readers on a journey from the perilous terrains of "Bullyville," a place where incivility and toxic culture reigns; to an eye-opening visit to classical antiquity for civic wisdom; to the aspirational streets of "Sustainaville," which prioritizes the civic values of respect, collaboration, and shared responsibility in shaping a more inclusive and resilient future.

The successful journey includes a renaissance of civic values and civic education as vital to fostering the type of culture that can sustain us, our democracy, and our planet.

"Save Your City" is a practical manifesto for anyone committed to the hard work of civic culture renewal. Available at all major booksellers.

Bikini Empire Announces ‘Dress to Express’ Online Campaign to Raise Awareness of Women’s Mental Health, Self-Care and Individuality

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Bikini Empire (BE), a Canadian luxury swimwear line, today announced an international campaign called "Dress to Express" to highlight "dopamine dressing," a psychological, physiological and physical phenomena that ties how we feel to what we wear. BE's goal is to educate and inform women that dressing in any type of clothing should focus on the belief that wearing what makes them feel good is more important than how they look.

BE is a leader in sustainable, ethical bikinis and is launching its newest line in February 2023, focusing its products and messaging on what psychologist's call "enclothed cognition." Colors have long played an impact on the psyche and, historically, have been used to aid in healing. Due to the Covid pandemic, a worldwide economic slowdown, and the long overdue societal discussion about mental health and wellness, BE is refocusing its business model to promote a message of positivity, healing and "Dressing to Express."

BE's business is selling comfortable, sexy and original swimwear. But its owners, Monica and Kelsey Rush, are committed bringing attention to women's mental health, promoting self-care, and making healthy choices to improve how women feel about themselves.

"No one has control over what is going on in our society from a broad perspective," said Monica. "But we do have a choice in how we enrich our lives, overcome pain and suffering, and make a positive decision to improve how we feel about ourselves. Wearing a bikini exposes us physically but it also opens up women to vulnerability, judgment and objectification. BE is committed to helping women realize that they have the power to send a message about how we perceive ourselves - externally and internally. 'Dress to Express' was created to empower women to make decisions based in self-love and expressing individuality."

Bikini Empire is recognized as a cult-classic and considered a trend-setter in women's luxury swimwear focusing on environmentally friendly and sustainable product development. It has evolved to a point where Monica and Kelsey desire to help change women's lives by focusing on the connection between clothing and emotional well-being.

As they work towards launching their new swimwear line, BE is unveiling a series of blogs, articles and promotions online to spread the message of how "dopamine dressing" is woven into the fabric of both their corporate mission as well as its products.

A new book illuminating the real life impacts of depression and anxiety through an evocative fictional narrative

VANCOUVER, B.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Author Paul G. Swingle's new novel "Silhouette" (ISBN: 979-8545559596; released Aug., 2022) delivers a brilliant and deceptively simple story, giving us insight into the hearts of two lonely souls. They gaze at each other from a distance, dreaming of forming a bond. Will their fears, depression, and anxiety prevent them from connecting?

On the night of a blue moon, while walking his dog, middle-aged widower Jim sees Gladys on the roof of a neighboring apartment building and is inspired to speak with her. There's just one problem: she can't hear him.

Indeed, Jim isn't even sure that Gladys truly exists-that she isn't just a rooftop patio umbrella silhouetted against the moon. Hampered by debilitating social anxiety, he cannot work up the courage to even wave.

Yet Jim returns to the same spot night after night, and Gladys - who is indeed real - sees him and becomes equally interested. She even contributes to their "conversation," though he cannot hear her either. And while Gladys struggles with her own demons - self-loathing and depression - she is lifted by Jim's attention, even as she describes how difficult her life has been.

Two characters, driven by sadness and a longing to connect. Will they?

McGregor Pedals Introduces the Cozmic Fuzzball Pedal

VANCOUVER, B.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Boutique pedal company McGregor Pedals has launched its third pedal: The Cozmic Fuzzball. It follows on the heels of the McGregor's previous pedals, the Crunch Transparent Overdrive, a single-channel, low-gain overdrive pedal for guitar and bass, released in December 2019 and the Crunch Plus Overdrive, a medium-gain version for guitar and bass released in December 2020.

Designed and built by Garth Heslop, the brand new Cozmic Fuzzball pedal is built on the same foundation as the previous two pedals, though you would never know it. Heslop takes it to the next level by stacking hard clipping with soft clipping and adding an overdriven transistor for that sweet fuzz tone. Beginning with the attack control on minimum the Cozmic Fuzzball delivers distortion with a bright creamy edge.

"As you bring up the attack the distortion gets heavier; by noon on the attack, you have already started to hear fuzz layered in. Both the fuzz and the sustain grow from there. The Cozmic Fuzzball was designed for both guitar and bass," Heslop says.

See the Cozmic Fuzzball demo video here: https://youtu.be/yPtQpVnYh1s

See all three McGregor Pedals here: https://youtu.be/tdcZqE39DXo

The Cozmic Fuzzball has a straightforward control set:

* Attack: This controls strength of the signal hitting the fuzz transistor; more attack = more fuzz and sustain. At the lower end with low output pickups the effect is mild distortion/overdrive. As you bring up the attack the distortion gets stronger. Soon you will hear fuzz starting to layer in. Pin the Attack and you are in fuzz-land. The output of your pickups will have a significant effect on how much fuzz is generated (as will your guitar's volume pot)

* Tone: this is a variable high pass filter; the left side of the range is more for bass guitar, the right for both bass and guitar.

* Vol: This attenuates the amplified and clipped signal after it leaves the tone filter.

* LED Brightness (Unmarked Trimpot on the side): Please make the adjustment gently using a jeweler's screwdriver.

Key Cozmic Fuzzball features:

* Hand soldered in Vancouver, Canada

* High grade components picked for their superior sound and response

* True bypass with soft-click switch

* Standard 9-volt DC center-negative power operation (no battery compartment)

* Top-mounted audio jacks and power input to help with packed pedal boards

The Cozmic Fuzzball is currently priced at USD $210 and can be purchased directly from the McGregor Pedals online store via https://www.mcgregorpedals.com/.

AUSTIN, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Kalyagen® and Intelicure Health Inc. announced today that they have entered into an agreement to promote and distribute throughout Canada STEMREGEN®, a natural stem cell enhancer documented to increase the number of circulating stem cells by stimulating Endogenous Stem Cell Mobilization (ESCM).

"We are pleased to announce our partnership with Intelicure to distribute STEMREGEN in Canada," said Christian Drapeau, CEO and Chief Scientist of Kalyagen®. "This will help us deliver on our mission to bring the well-documented health benefits of stem cells to as wide an audience as possible."

The link between a lower number of circulating stem cells and the development of age-related diseases has been well-studied with numerous degenerative conditions, including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, pulmonary diseases, erectile dysfunction, and kidney disease. Increasing the number of circulating stem cells has been documented to enhance tissue repair or improve the course of disease formation in cases of acute myocardial infarction and many other degenerative conditions.

"We've been targeting many of the same health issues with other natural products, and we expect that STEMREGEN will be very popular with Canadians seeking to improve their overall health and wellness with the proven benefits of stem cells."

"Having working with the Intelicure team in the past, bringing both companies together to help promote, market and distribute STEMREGEN was a very special honor," said Herbert Dogan, CMO of Kalyagen®.

STEMREGEN® is a unique and patent-pending blend of proprietary plant-based extracts documented to support ESCM and increase the number of circulating stem cells, supporting the natural ability of the body to repair and stay healthy. Ingredients in STEMREGEN® have been investigated in more than eight clinical studies for their effect on stem cell function, of which five were randomized, double- blind, placebo-controlled human clinical trials. STEMREGEN® has wide application in antiaging and overall health maintenance.

Optimizing fulfillment from facility design down to the everyday operation: Syncontext is transforming the fulfillment and distribution world with innovative optimization technology

VANCOUVER, B.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Syncontext Supply Chain, an international supply chain technology firm based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, today announced the release of its new and innovative end-to-end fulfillment optimization system, SKUstream™, along with unveiling a fresh, new corporate identity.

Combining five solutions in one, SKUstream™ uses its robust data-driven requirement planning engine to optimize fulfillment centers from logistics resource planning, distribution center design and implementation, to daily slotting of items.

As with all Syncontext applications, SKUstream™ is cloud-based, allowing it to easily and consistently leverage operational data from an organization's existing management systems.

With an emphasis on end-to-end fulfillment optimization, SKUstream™ integrates key continuous improvement principles with state-of-the-art algorithms to isolate and eliminate sources of unnecessary waste in fulfillment operations.

"When we talk about waste, we're talking about every key area of waste in the average distribution center," said Robbie Cluett, Director of Business Development & Customer Success. "Movement, space, product damage, time are all examples of the waste that SKUstream will detect and minimize. Ultimately, improving profitability."

With decades of supply chain operational and consulting experience among Syncontext's leadership team, not just on the conceptual and analytical side, but also in implementing the concepts and strategies themselves, SKUstream™ was developed with first-hand knowledge of the challenges being faced daily by supply chain executives.

"Supply Chain Executives are recognizing a more holistic approach to optimization and continuous improvement is necessary. You cannot just look at one or two parts of the operation anymore. There are trade-offs everywhere," said Hector Orozco, President & CEO.

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, which challenged even the most resilient supply chains, Syncontext gained industry recognition from leaders moving towards end-to-end optimization.

With the worst hopefully behind us, and with supply chains normalizing once again, Syncontext sees end-to-end fulfillment optimization as an essential part of every supply chain executive's tool kit.

McGregor Pedals Introduces the Crunch Plus Overdrive

VANCOUVER, BC, Canada /ScoopCloud/ -- Boutique pedal company McGregor Pedals has launched its second pedal: The Crunch Plus overdrive. It follows on the heels of the McGregor's debut pedal, the Crunch Transparent Overdrive, a single-channel, low-gain overdrive pedal for guitar and bass, released in December 2019.

Designed and built by Garth Heslop, the brand new Crunch Plus pedal starts where the Crunch leaves off, building on the same circuit by adding a third gain stage and a second clipping stage. Beginning with the gain at minimum, the Crunch Plus pedal is similar to the Crunch Transparent Overdrive on 3/4 gain with a bit of an edge.

It never loses that edge as you bring up the gain. The Crunch Plus takes it to the next level while still maintaining the transparency you would expect from a McGregor Pedals overdrive pedal and is suitable for both guitar and bass.

See the Crunch Plus demo video here: https://youtu.be/8JEC1qE3i8Q

The Crunch Plus has a straightforward control set:
* Gain: This controls the amount of gain driving the pedal's hard clipping. Minimum setting is similar to the Crunch Transparent Overdrive on 3/4 gain with a bit of an edge. The Crunch Plus pedal never loses that edge, it builds on it as you bring up the gain.
* Tone: A mid-range control that works very much like the tone control on most guitars.
* Vol: This Attenuates the amplified and clipped signal after it leaves the tone filter.
* Trimpot on side of pedal (unmarked) controls LED Brightness: As someone who plays daytime outdoor shows, Garth Heslop wanted a super bright LED; however, this made it horrible to use in any other situation. The added trimpot allows you to vary the LED Brightness from dark stage to bright sun. Please make the adjustment gently using a jeweler's screwdriver.

Key Crunch Plus features:
* Hand soldered in Vancouver, Canada
* High grade components picked for their superior sound and response
* True bypass with soft-click switch
* Standard 9-volt DC center-negative power operation (no battery compartment)
* Top-mounted audio jacks and power input to help with packed pedal boards

The Crunch Drive is priced at $210 and can be purchased directly from the McGregor Pedals online store via https://www.mcgregorpedals.com/.

Data from 1,229 Tastings Reveals Ethiopia as World’s No.1 Coffee Country

VANCOUVER, B.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda produce the highest quality coffee in the world, according to data from 1,229 professional tastings analyzed by Bean Poet to mark International Coffee Day (Oct. 1, 2020).

The data visualization shows grades for each of these coffees harvested from around the world between 2010 and 2018 and rated by professionals certified through the Coffee Quality Institute's rigorous training program (https://www.coffeeinstitute.org/).

Coffees from Ethiopia fall higher on the scale than those from any other country.

An interactive version of the graph at beanpoet.com allows users to click on the dots for more information about each individual coffee tested: https://www.beanpoet.com/best-coffee-country/

Birthplace of coffee still No. 1

Consumers looking for the best possible coffee should consider beans with African origins on their next trip to the local roaster.

"Coffee came out of Africa centuries ago, and even today the trained tastebuds of experts can recognize quality from the continent where it all began," said Erik Rolfsen, editor of Bean Poet. "The top three African countries combined export less than one-third of Brazil's output, but these are beans you're sure to find in the connoisseur's cupboard."

The top countries from each of the world's other major coffee-growing regions were, in order:
* South America: Colombia
* Central America: El Salvador
* Southeast Asia: Thailand
* North America: U.S.
* Asia: Taiwan

Data for the analysis came from records kept by the Coffee Quality Institute that are publicly available online.

McGregor Pedals Launches the Crunch Transparent Overdrive Pedal

VANCOUVER, B.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- McGregor Pedals Inc. is pleased to announce the launch of their flagship product, the Crunch Transparent Overdrive Pedal for bass and guitar.

Designer Garth Heslop went back to the drawing board to develop this single-channel, low-gain overdrive pedal. The Crunch Transparent Overdrive maintains the core tone of a player's setup while adding a breakup that is soft, warm, and musically focused.

"The Crunch Transparent Overdrive was designed specifically for both bass and guitar and works well with other pedals in either a primary or secondary drive position," says Heslop.

Mr. Heslop worked in close collaboration with musicians who have over a combined century of tone chasing experience, both live and in studio.

Novel elements and high-quality parts were combined with traditional design to achieve a pedal that Carter Low, 2016 Grand Prize winner of the Lee Ritenour Six String Theory Competition described as "...very responsive and doesn't mask your tone, just enhances what you got. Exactly what I look for in an overdrive." Carter added, "I can't live without this thing on my board!"

Presented in striking orange powder coat with subtle metal flake, the Crunch Transparent Overdrive pleases the eyes as well as the ears.

The Crunch Transparent Overdrive pedal is available now from WestCoast Guitars and direct from https://www.mcgregorpedals.com/products/crunch-transparent-overdrive-pedal.

America’s Values: Valuegraphics Survey shows Patriotism is the #1 priority, ahead of Family

VANCOUVER, B.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Among the 56 core human values that The Valuegraphics Database measures, the average American ranks "Belonging" ahead of "Family" and "Relationships" - a result that reflects the very strong national pride in the U.S.

This means that, as a priority, Country comes ahead of everything else.

It can also explain the fractious divisions within the U.S., as groups coalesce around ideas that bind them together. A brotherhood. A birthright. A backdrop for understanding US feelings of exceptionalism in a global village. An explanation for why "Make America Great Again" resonates either positively or negatively with so many U.S. voters.

By comparison, the rest of the world, on average, places more value on "Family" and "Relationships" above all else.

The distinction is important because what we value predicts how we will behave.

Our values - what we care about most - are the only accurate indicator of who people are, and why they do the things they do. The stereotypes perpetuated by demographic labels have nothing to do with how we decide to behave, and yet are still so pervasive in every aspect of life.

To understand foreign and domestic issues, engage in target marketing, or build consumer profiles, knowing the exact values that trigger behavior for any group of people is a strategic essential.

In Valuegraphics research around the world and in every sector, values of togetherness - like "Family," "Relationships," "Belonging" and "Community" - almost always rank at the top. Which is hopeful for all of humankind, but which clouds the distinctions from one region of the world to the next. After these values of togetherness are set aside, the remaining value sets reflect the unique cultures of different regions in the world.

For example, the rest of the world cares more about "Financial Security" while it is less important in the U.S. - likely because wealth, or the promise of wealth, is part of the work hard/get ahead ethic of the American Dream. Similarly, "Material Possessions" ranks among the top 10 American values compared to the rest of the world. You don't acquire stuff without the wherewithal to buy it.

"Freedom of Speech," a value that is likely a byproduct of the ever-present debate about First Amendment rights, is far more important in the US than the rest of the world.

What do American's care least about? "Service to Others", ranks in last place while around the rest of the world that particular value shows up in the middle of the pack of 56 values. The survey also supports the U.S. spirit of individualism, with values of "Tolerance" and "Peace" rated as less important, compared to the world averages. American's value "Loyalty" lower than the rest of the world, along with "Community," "Personal Responsibility" and "Trustworthiness."

Understanding shared values is the key to understanding what will motivate target audiences to act. All humans spend every waking moment acting on, finding ways to feed, and looking for validation of what we care about most, our values, regardless of the demographic box we fit into.

About Valuegraphics

The Valuegraphics Database defines the shared values of target audiences, regardless of their demographic profiles. It uses a global database informed by neuroscience, psychology and sociology and measures 436 shared human values, wants, needs and expectations. It's accurate to +/- 3.5%, offering a high degree of confidence. Learn more: https://valuegraphics.com/

What your Choice of Quarantini says about You: A Valuegraphics Survey

VANCOUVER, B.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- During your COVID-19 quarantine, in those Zoom socials, was gin your preferred spirit in your martini shaker? If it was, here's what we know about you and your cohort of gin drinkers, according to The Valuegraphics Database and a new global analysis of what people all over the world care about most - and by extension how they will behave.

Gin drinkers, as a group, break into four main segments:

* 24% are "The Probably Bow Ties" and are loyal to tradition and believe there is one right way to do everything. They place a high value on loyalty, making things happen, and keep an eye on their finances.

* 23% fit a profile called "The Probably No Ties." They are social adventurers, out more nights than they are in, and use their martini as a kind of social prop. They are always looking to grow and will be attracted to anything that offers the opportunity to be a better version of themselves.

* At 21%, "The Food Funsters" are planners, fixated on food, but really don't expect anything will be as good as they'd like. They seek out customization, and are just as happy dining alone as they are in a group.

* 17% are "The Career Drinkers," who live to network and build their social standing. They will drink their martini how everyone else does, so they don't stick out. Influence and wealth are their objectives, and they will do what needs to be done to attain them.

The balance of the sample are splinter groups that are not statistically relevant.

"By knowing what people care about - their values - we know why they behave as they do," says human behavior expert David Allison, founder of The Valuegraphics Database, the first global dataset of human values. "As humans, we spend all our waking hours hunting and gathering anything that will feed and protect our values: the things we care about most. This is our life's work."

It's a distinction that shows the limited range of traditional demographics that put people in categories based on what they are, but tell us nothing about who they are or why they behave as they do.

"Regardless of the demographic boxes you check as a human in society - race, gender, age, income - we learn more from cohorts based on shared values which can predict, with great precision, what people will do next. From a social science perspective, that's a very different narrative," says Allison.

If you wanted to speak to, engage or influence gin martini drinkers, for example, highlight anything that will trigger personal growth, personal responsibility and experiences. These values, from a list of 56 accepted by the scientific community, will be the most powerful.

"Empirical data that isolates what your target audience cares about tells you exactly what buttons to push to influence behavior," explains Allison, "because what we value determines what we do."

National Martini Day is June 19. Drink responsibly.

Cake in a Card? InstaCake Cards are Ideal Way to Share Virtual Celebrations

VANCOUVER, British Columbia /ScoopCloud/ -- InstaCake has figured out the perfect way for people to share their love - even if they're quarantined at home alone. These cakes in a card are ideal for just about anyone who has something to celebrate - a birthday, anniversary, job promotion and more.

Originally designed to help people celebrate birthdays together while apart, the current stay-at-home orders circling the globe, have opened up a whole new world for InstaCake. It's stepping up to help spread a little happiness and love and it just so happens to come with frosting on top.

"I've had many people share stories with me about their social media celebrations," Sarah Neal, the founder/creator of InstaCake, says. "For example, a group of business colleagues who were all working at home were able to share in a co-worker's birthday celebration. They all got online and their colleague opened the card, made the cake and blew out the candle. Everyone cheered her on."

Neal shares that from a young age, baking was always a passion. She worked in food technology for a large European frozen food supplier and learned some tricks of the trade that later helped her to launch InstaCake.

The clever card design incorporates all the elements for a delicious cake that can be made just about anywhere, anytime. All the recipient needs to do is add a few tablespoons of water and then place it in the microwave for one minute. There's frosting, sprinkles and a candle too.

"InstaCake is much more than a gimmick cake," Neal says. "I've been baking since I was six and had to create something that was not just fun and looked good, but tasted delicious too. This fits the bill."

All cakes are gluten and peanut free. They're made with real eggs, sugar, butter, rice flour and high-quality vanilla. After countless blind taste tests, a light, fluffy and flavorful cake emerged.

"Now people can have their cake in a card and eat it too," Neal says. "It's not just a novelty, it's a celebration in a box."

InstaCake's cards include a personalized message and are available with free delivery in North America. For outside mainland USA or worldwide orders, please visit: https://instacakecards.com/

Wondershare Recoverit Free Helps Customers to Solve the ‘USB Device Not Recognized’ Problem

VANCOUVER, B.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Wondershare has released the latest update of Recoverit, which can recover data under different scenarios. It can also solve the "USB Device not recognized" problem as well: https://recoverit.wondershare.com/flashdrive-recovery/flash-drive-not-recognized.html.

It has been observed that while using a USB device, users get this unwanted prompt. In most of the cases, they are not able to access the data stored on the USB device after getting the error. Though, with Recoverit, they can retrieve their data and fix this issue at the same time.

Whenever there is a specific problem with the USB device, Windows give the related prompt. This doesn't allow users to access the USB device. Ideally, there could be numerous reasons behind this issue, depending upon various factors.

Some of them could be as follows:
* The connected USB device has been corrupted.
* There is a problem with Windows drivers and the operating system can't read the device.
* The error code 43 (descriptor request failed) can also cause this issue.
* A change in the BIOS settings can also be related to it.
* If there is a problem with the USB port (a physical damage), then Windows can't load the connected device.
* The operating system was not able to load the needed drivers.

Use Recoverit Free to recover data from USB Device:

Recoverit is a freely available tool, which is developed by Wondershare. It can recover lost or deleted data from a computer under different scenarios. Besides recovering data from a system's hard disk, it can also perform a data recovery operation on external devices (like USB flash drive). Whenever users get the "USB Device not Recognized" prompt, they are not able to access the stored data on the external device. Though, Recoverit can be used to recover files from USB: https://recoverit.wondershare.com/flashdrive-recovery/recover-files-from-usb.html

All they need to do is connect the USB drive to their system and perform a data recovery operation on it. The application will perform a quick scan and will display the retrieved results. Users can preview the recovered data and restore it to any location. Since the application provides a preview of the data, users can select the type of data that they wish to recover selectively.

Furthermore, if a user is not satisfied with the results, then an "All-Around Recovery" scan can also be performed. While it might take more time, the results would also be better. Therefore, Wondershare Recoverit provides two different scanning methods that can help users recover the lost, deleted, or inaccessible data.

It is recommended to save the recovered data in a safe location instead of the USB device again. This is because the USB device could be corrupted and it is simply more convenient to save the recovered data somewhere safe.

Why choose Wondershare Recoverit Free?

Recoverit free https://recoverit.wondershare.com/data-recovery-free.html is one of the most advanced and reliable data recovery tools. Not just to recover data from a USB device, it can also perform data recovery under numerous other situations as well.
