CodeWeavers Partners with Cyan to Bring Myst Series to macOS

CodeWeavers, Inc., developer of CrossOver—the easiest, fastest way to run Windows software on Mac, Linux, Android, and Chrome OS—announced today that it will be partnering with Cyan Worlds, Inc. to deliver macOS compatible titles as part of the Myst 25th Anniversary Collection available only through Kickstarter. To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Myst, Cyan is offering a never-been-done-before historical anthology of the complete Myst series. The Anniversary Collection will run on modern Windows operating systems AND NOW with the help of CodeWeavers porting services, on modern macOS operating systems including 10.13 High Sierra.

Since CodeWeavers wrapped the Myst games with their CrossOver technology, no Windows license, no Windows operating system, no rebooting and no additiona l emulation software will be needed to play.

CodeWeavers' President, James B. Ramey stated, "We are incredibly excited at the opportunity to be partnering with arguably the most transformative game in the history of macOS technology. In delivering these games to both beloved fans and new adventurers, we hope that the Myst series can live on for another 25 years!" Further adding, "Myst was my first experience with a 'real' computer game. I am probably in the career I am in today because of my love for that game which lead to a passion for all video games."

"As I type this on my Mac, I am so excited that I'll be able to play all of the Myst games without a PC, an emulator, or Boot Camp!" typed Rand Miller, co-founder of Cyan. "CodeWeavers provided an amazing solution that I was sure wouldn't be possible. I only wish I had known about their CrossOver technology sooner."

Now, both Mac and PC users can participate in this epic offering and explore these graphical adventure games. Released originally in 1993, Myst is still considered a groundbreaking game and is the bestselling game of the 20th century. Interested backers can participate in this Kickstarter campaign to receive their copy of The Myst 25th Anni versary Collection. The campaign is scheduled to run through May 24, 2018 with the games starting to ship in August 2018.

About Cyan:
Cyan was started in 1987 by brothers Rand and Robyn Miller. They released a new kind of children 's software they called The Manhole. It was a simple, whimsical, black & white world to explore with very little to get in the way of the journey. It was well received by children of all ages. The brothers followed up with Cosmic Osmo and Spelunx - two more rich, non-threatening worlds for children to explore.

In 1991, Cyan began work on Myst, a project that would take everything they had learned about making worlds and use it to create a truly unique experience for an older, more sophisticated audience. Myst was about finding yourself lost in a world and simply exploring, understanding and becoming part of the story - and the public response was nothing short of phenomenal. Sales for Myst and its sequel Riven have exceeded 15 million units worldwide - which made them the best-selling computer games of the 20th century.

AixSwiss Bringing Five Unique Nupure Probiotic Supplements for Improved Digestive Tract Health to Retailer StackedNutrition.com

AixSwiss B.V. is bringing its innovative European Nupure supplement line that harnesses the power of probiotic strains to help moderate weight, boost immunity and benefit digestive tract health — from mouth to colon, and all the intestinal flora in between — to e-commerce site StackedNutrition.com.

AixSwiss is educating consumers on the benefits probiotics can have throughout the body, not just the gut, which probiotics have been traditionally used for. StackedNutrition.com will receive five products to aid in this educational process, each with a unique benefit derived from probiotics and beneficial bacteria in the body.

"People have trillions of bacteria cells in their bodies, sometimes as many (bacteria) cells as human cells," AixSwiss CEO Jorge Paule said. "That's why it's important to work with this bacteria and ensure the beneficial ones survive. Antibacterial soaps are literally killing o ff a huge part of your body. Probiotics are effective at improving the body's natural flora balance in the digestive tract in a short time."

There are five products in Nupure's initial U.S. launch: Probiflor, Colon Pure, Probipure, Probipure Junior, and Probident. Probiflor is the current top seller, a powerful probiotic with 11 bacterial cultures and more than 20 billion active strains per capsule.

AixSwiss believes customers should learn about the quality of supplements, especially those with living organisms. Each package of Probiflor contains a QR that can be scanned with your phone, which then takes you to a website where the batch number on the bottle can be entered and full lab test results on that exact bottle can b e found.

Probipure is a powerful, organic probiotic containing the highest quality allergen-free bacterial cultures grown in Germany. Probipure Junior is a kids' version of Probipure, providing a smaller dose that is dissolved in water, rather than swallowed whole.

"Probipure is a high quality, organic probiotic made to the highest European standards. The strains used in Probipure and Probipure Junior come from Germany," Paule said. "Probipure Junior is a powder, able to be placed in water or yogurt, due to choking concerns from capsules. The regular Probipure is in a capsule and has extra probiotic strains."

Colon Pure is an organic, herbal supplement for the intestine, reducing inflammation of the psyllium husk. Probident is a dissolvable and chewable probiotic tablet that provides fresh breath, dental health and improved oral hygiene.

Children of America Celebrates Teachers, as their Core Strength

This week is national Teacher Appreciation Week and Children of America, Educational Childcare (COA), has pulled out all the stops. "This internationally recognized day commemorates teachers around the globe and their commitment to children and learning. Every year, COA celebrates this devotion with a week of activities and gifts to honor our teachers. We know the impact they make on our children and understand the vital role they play in our business model," says Jim Perretty, COA CEO.

Studies show that having a strong teacher, even for one school year, can lead to lasting academic and social performance gains. Researchers have demonstrated that, for children, having a nurturing teacher can serve as a protective factor that mitigates the effect on learning and peer relationships.

"COA teachers are the foundation of everything we do," said Jane Buckman, President of Educational Programming. "Our teachers take our proprietary programming and bring it to life in our classrooms, engaging and energizing our children, delivering an interactive learning environment. Mrs. Buckman goes on to say, "Our parents see the impact our teachers and programming make every day and as a result partner with us raising the bar in academic readiness. I could not be more proud of our teachers."

In addition to the celebrations happening at each location, COA pays tribute to teachers throughout the year with monthly and yearly recognition initiatives. Jim Perretty adds, "It is the goal of the company to keep our school staff front and center every month. To reinforce this philosophy, we have created several programs to strengthen educational leadership, and increase collaboration with acknowledgment awards." ; Winners receive a cash awards and join the Hall of Fame board.
