“Prepare to Launch U” Empowers Stay-At-Home Moms To Reboot Their Careers

After years spent conquering the role of caregiver, chauffeur, chef and CEO of the family, many mothers feel ready to return to their previous positions in the workplace. But taking that leap back to work can be daunting. Now for the first time, there is a step-by-step guide to prepare women who have opted out to reboot their careers. Created by two moms who have dedicated their professional lives to empowering women, Prepare to Launch U is designed to take women from unsure to confident in 8 weeks.

"Prepare to Launch U began as a live course in Connecticut and we decided to bring it online to make it flexible, affordable and accessible to women all over the country," explained Susan Rietano Davey, Co-Founder of Prepare To Launch U. "Our students and focus groups have been clear. They want a comprehensive course that fits their lives and arms them with personal and professional tools to return to work."

Read all the latest news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/04/japans-second-largest-mobile-carrier.html

Enrollment begins in August and the course begins on October 1st, however participants can get started now by taking the Prepare to Launch U online readiness assessment, and accessing other content on their website. In addition to instruction, inspiration and practical advice, students of the course will be offered membership in an exclusive online community where students can share, support and learn from each other.

"Women excel at being multi-tasking pros for everyone in their world- husbands, children, parents, even friends- often at the cost of their own happiness and direction," adds Kelley Biskupiak, Co-Founder of Prepare To Launch U. "Prepare to Launch U provides women the opportunity to slow down, re-focus and reclaim a future vision for themselves."

An estimated 43% of women will leave the workforce at some point and the majority of the time, it's to take care of children. Ninety percent of those women intended for it to be a temporary leave. However, for some, it becomes a permanent leave when they don't have the skills or tools to return to work. "Returning to work is not just about hitting a button and applying for a job," said Rietano Davey. "It's a process". The course breaks the process into three key components: Reclaim, Refine and Re-launch. Be alert to read related news.

"We've found that even a brief employment lapse comes with a loss of confidence," said Rietano Davey. "Even the most accomplished women need guidance, encouragement and tools to navigate their return to the rapidly-changing workplace."

The business partners met while speaking at a women's conference and soon recognized that they had complementary skills. With seven children between them, they completely understand the challenges of raising a family and pursuing a challenging profession.

Biskupiak trained at the esteemed Coaches Training Institute, earning a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach designation. For the past ten years, she has worked with clients to help them find clarity in the chaos and develop goal-based, purposeful plans that can be implemented into their daily lives.

Rietano Davey joined a start-up staffing and consulting firm after having her children. The firm was the first to champion flexible work arrangements. As a 20-year pioneer in the field of work-life balance, she has helped countless women re-enter the workforce and numerous client-companies adopt flexible work policies.

"The first module of our course guides women through five exercises to learn about who they are now – which may be different from who they were when they left the workplace," said Biskupiak. "We love watching women's confidence grow through this module because it's often a lack of confidence that's their biggest barrier to success." Read this here.

To help build women's confidence, the partners like to share with prospective students the top four things they have learned from their combined 30 years of experience in the 'return-to-work' field:

1.    A Gap in Your Résumé is Not a Career-Killer
Your years at home are just a blip in the now 50-year work paradigm. And they weren't wasted – you've managed interesting 'projects' and honed valuable skills during your years at home.
2.    The Workplace Needs More Female-Leaders Like You
Your time at home is valuable; its impact will be long lasting. But now, it's time you bring your passion, skills, and experience back to the workplace to drive results and change culture.
3.    Employers Hire Women Who Have Been Out of the Workplace
And research shows these women perform at the same rate (or better) than their colleagues.
4.    You are Not Alone
There are thousands of women out there with similar dreams to yours – and similar obstacles. Join them and join us to knock down those obstacles and realize your dreams.

In response to the interest and eagerness for the online offering to begin, the co-founders are filming a series of 12 brief videos called "Office Hours" that answer some common questions about the back-to-work process. Watch at http://www.preparetolaunchu.com/office-hours.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-npd-group-reports-fragrance-trends.html

Women can also register to receive a weekly online newsletter, follow the partners on social media and, in August, enroll for their introductory, low cost mini-course.

"We are so excited to help more women navigate the road back to work," concluded Rietano Davey. "And the timing couldn't be better. Now, more than ever, the workplace is craving women's skills and their voice."

Prepare To Launch U is the definitive women's career re-entry course designed to guide women through the unique challenges of returning to the workforce after opting out to care for family. Co-founders Kelley Biskupiak and Susan Rietano Davey have successfully helped hundreds of women relaunch into fulfilling careers.

People Will be Able to Invest in Property from €1 Thanks to Blockchain

Proptech startup, Dominium, announced its launch today. The property platform, developed and funded by Munte Immobilien and Max Property Group, with nearly two centuries of combined experience in the property business and hundreds of millions of euros of property under management, wants to digitalise the entire global property market, reputedly worth over 217 trillion dollars*.

By leveraging blockchain technology, Dominium offers a solution to the property industry's lack of efficiency, liquidity and transparency. Dominium Chairman, Sven-Thomas Munte, says:

"The property market is as old as human culture. It is one of the most important facets of human life but it is also one of the most antiquated. Dominium aims to solve some long-existing problems affecting the global property industry using technology that has become available through the emergence of the blockchain." Be alert to read related news.

The Dominium property platform will allow users to list, trade, finance and manage property assets utilising a suite of tools, with all activities safely recorded on the blockchain. Business tools will include full Client Relations Management, project management and maintenance systems. Read this for more information.

Property investors will have instant access to legally compliant property listings available at a unique low entry point (from 1 euro). They will be able to trade assets on the platform, providing an immediate exit strategy, without the use of fund managers, agents or other centralised parties, provided their account is approved.

"Thanks to blockchain technology, people all over the globe will be able to invest in property from just €1," says Managing Director Mark Lloyd.

The platform aims to be completely regulated by providing standardised legal documents for each jurisdiction, making processes such as setting up a property fund affordable and simple for the first time. Other features include peer-to-peer lending, affordable asset trading and on-platform communication.

The rental market could also be significantly affected, as agents, renters and property owners will have access to past information recorded on the blockchain. Property Director, Esther Dekker, says,

"Dominium could mean the end of hiding property faults from prospective tenants or buyers."

Not based on Ethereum, the property platform runs on its own blockchain, making it a global first. The Dominium blockchain in based on an Ardor childchain which is designed to avoid blockchain bloat and high transaction fees and times. The self-funded platform has gone live today in seven languages, with many features already fully functional. The Dominium airdrop and referral program are now available to anyone registering on the platform, and the company aims to launch a pre-ICO and an ICO in the coming months for the sale of the DOM utility token which will be used to pay for all activities on the platform.

Read news here.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/texas-fertility-center-and-ovation.html

A large proportion of the funds raised through the pre-ICO and ICO will be used to purchase a property in Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. The rental income from the portfolio will be used to pay for the continuous development of the platform, including obtaining relevant regulatory licences, and the remaining income will be used to buy back DOM tokens, thus ensuring a steady demand and diminishing supply of the token.

2016 Toyota Prius Named 2018 WheelsTV POV of the Year

At the annual New England Motor Press Association's Technology Conference and Annual Awards Dinner held at MIT's Media Lab, on Wednesday, May 30th, WheelsTV and NEMPA presented the 2018 WheelsTV POV of the Year Award to the 2016 Toyota Prius.

The Toyota Prius first went on sale in Japan and other countries in 1997, and was available at all four Toyota Japan dealerships, making it the first mass-produced hybrid vehicle. It was subsequently introduced worldwide in 2000. The 2016 Prius is the first year of the current, fourth generation of this revolutionary vehicle. (Wikipedia)

Now in its tenth year, the WheelsTV POV of the Year is the only national award presented to a pre-owned automobile. A distinguished judging panel drawn from a broad spectrum of the automotive press makes the selection after choosing finalists in eight disparate categories: Green Car, SUV, Crossover, Sporty Car, Small Car, Family Car, Light Truck and Luxury Car.

Master of Ceremonies for the evening was Wayne Carini, host of Velocity Network's Chasing Classic Cars, who explained the requirements for POVY consideration: "To be named the WheelsTV POV of the Year, the vehicle must be in service for at least two years and demonstrate outstanding long-term reliability and exceptional consumer satisfaction."

Upon announcing the recipient of the 2018 WheelsTV POV of the Year Award, WheelsTV CEO Jim Barisano said, "The 2016 Toyota Prius broke new ground in styling, technology and fuel efficiency, setting the stage for the world's transition to renewable fuels. Beyond that, its reliability and capabilities have created a loyal following of millions who love their Prius's, making this amazing invention the 2018 WheelsTV POV of the Year."

Accepting the POVY was Jason Slayton, Ecommerce Manager for Toyota of North America. He stated, "Thank you to NEMPA and WheelsTV for this prestigious award. I don't think that many of you realize this but the Prius has been on the road for twenty years now. That's a long legacy for a vehicle! In that twenty years we actually sold over two million vehicles in the U.S. and here in New England we sold over 200,000. So there are plenty of pre-owned Prius vehicles in the market!"

Jason then spoke of Toyota's goals in taking the Prius to the next level. "When we approached the 2015 redesign, we already had a hallmark of fuel efficiency so we looked at driving dynamics, styling and sought to integrate a whole new presence on the road while keeping the quality and dependability which were the hallmarks of the Prius. With wide consumer acceptance and now the 2018 WheelsTV POV of the Year Award, it appears that we have truly achieved our goals. Thank you very very much!"

WheelsTV Senior Writer, Rich Taber, profiles the amazing 4th Generation Toyota Prius in this video, which premiered at the NEMPA event.

Litra Announces LitraPro™ - The World’s First Full Spectrum Bi-Color Video and Photo Adventure Light

Following their award-winning design of the LitraTorch™, Litra officially launched its second professional adventure light - LitraPro™ - on Kickstarter. LitraPro™ is the world's first full spectrum compact light. Built with bluetooth compatibility, adjustable color temperature, and fully dimmable lighting, the LitraPro™ achieves an entirely new level of compact, rugged, professional lighting.

Litra introduced the bi-color light for the very first time at the NAB Show in April, 2018. Competing against the biggest brands in the videography industry, Litra won a Best of Show Award for the intelligent design and technology of their new ultra rugged professional light.

The compact and lightweight LitraPro™ can deliver up to 1200 Lumen of continuous, high quality light and has an impressive 45 minute run time at maximum output. At just 6 oz and 2.75" x 2" x 1.2" in size, the LitraPro™ is designed for the most demanding run-and-gun scenarios, remote production, mobile studios and impossible-to-light small spaces. The aluminum body has two industry standard 1/4 20 mounts for endless mounting options.

"LitraTorch, has been a huge success with customers, retailers and distribution partners globally as a basic pro photo and video adventure light," said Scott Gant, President of Litra. "The LitraPro will build on this success, offering users the smallest, rugged, uncompromised lighting solution on the market. Imagine something this small, with this much light lasting a full 45 minutes on max output? This is a game changer!"

LitraPro™ has a stunning OLED display and is powered by a built-in lithium-ion battery. Its easy-to-use manual and smartphone app controls make it extremely convenient and multifunctional across a variety of fields. Photographers can manually or remote control single or multiple LitraPro™ lights from a smartphone app, with capabilities to adjust the power, color temperature, and Lumen level. This feature minimizes the effort and time for lighting setup and adjustments. With the exceptional ease and portability of the LitraPro™, television and video teams can set up and teardown a fully controllable studio in the most remote locations.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/04/japans-second-largest-mobile-carrier.html

LitraPro™ can be dynamically adjusted while shooting real time. It has a 0-100% fully dimmable light, an adjustable color temperature from 3000K to 6000K that is factory calibrated to +/-100K accuracy and features a CRI of up to 95. With no green spike and an enhanced red spectrum, it delivers full spectrum light that allows people to optimize their photo and video scene. It is a high fidelity light allowing you to control the lighting regardless of the lighting conditions in your environment. With a 70 degree beam angle, the light delivers a smooth and even light pattern with no center hotspots or harsh edges. It is also flicker free at all shutter angles. Read this for more information.

But this light sports both beauty and brawn. Built to thrive in the most extreme conditions, its rugged 100% aluminum body is MIL-SPEC 810 tested and waterproof up to 90 feet. Rain, sun, snow, dive, climb, drop, shock, grime, this light will take a beating and continue to shine on.

"A key feature to the LitraTorch success was the 100% aluminum body construction," said Gant. "When you pick it up it just feels good, feels solid, feels like it will last. LitraPro was designed the same way. The aluminum body is not all about the look and feel though - it also it has 2 critical functions; a body armor so it can take a beating and a thermal heat sink to dissipate heat away from the LEDs and electronics."

The versatile light meets the very high quality of light output essential for photo, video and TV production. It exceeds run time expectations for portable lighting solutions and is built to endure the inevitable bumps, drops and spills we all know will happen while filming. The LitraPro™ was also designed with a range of custom accessories including barn doors, color filters, diffuser cap, soft box and mounts to meet set production needs and seamlessly pair with traditional video, DSLR and action sports video equipment.

The innovative design and technology of the LitraPro™ is patent pending. The LitraPro™ was announced at NAB, Las Vegas in April 2018 and is now live on Kickstarter for pre-orders as of June 1, 12pm PST. Following Kickstarter, LitraPro™ will be available for distribution in August at a very affordable price of under 220 USD. LitraPro™ will undoubtedly become a must-have lighting product in all photography and videography tool kits.
