Aladtec Reps Attending NYSAFC & Fire Expo Near Verona

The 112th annual FIRE 2018 -- the New York State Association of Fire Chiefs Conference -- will be held June 13-16 at Turning Stone Resort outside of Verona. The event is billed as the Northeast's premier emergency services conference, expo, and training event.

Representatives from Aladtec.com will be among the 300 exhibitors, displaying the latest services, tools, equipment, and apparatus for emergency services. Organizers expect up to 13,000 fire personnel to attend some or all of the conference.

Aladtec, a Sustaining Member of the NYSAFC, provides cloud-based scheduling and workforce management software to 65 New York public safety agencies. The firm will be among exhibitors at the conference. Two agencies who use Aladtec's platform -- the Manlius Fire Dept. and Fayetteville Fire & EMS -- operate just a few miles from Verona.

The NYSAFC conference features 13 diverse and intensive Hands-On Training programs conducted by some of the country's most seasoned fire service instructors. There will be more than 35 fire and EMS classroom educational programs. Session topics range from fighting the "Dreaded Commercial Building Fire" and whether to integrate Twitter into firehouse communications, to using drones and live video and "Top Ten Things that get Firefighters in Trouble."

Aladtec's software platform was created expressly for Public Safety agencies. It's accessible anytime via computer, smartphone or other mobile devices. The easy-to-use application handles complex scheduling and unique rotation requirements used by many fire departments. It allows members to submit availability, request time off, and make shift trades from anywhere. The system was initially used for crew scheduling but has evolved into an all-in-one workforce management tool.

"The ability for our 70 members to be able to use their smartphones was also a selling point for us. Personnel can check the schedule and make time-off requests on their personal phone or home computer," said Timothy Smith, Deputy Fire Chief with Falmouth Fire Rescue, Falmouth, MA.

More than 2,070 organizations subscribe to Aladtec's online platform with more than 127,000 people using the system daily across America and Canada.

Evo GoCam is Picture Perfect with Crowdfunders - the Selfie Cam that Sticks to Any Surface has Raised over $50,000 to Eclipse Goal on Indiegogo

AbleTech's new Evo GoCam, the first camera that's stored in a smartphone case and sticks to any surface, has surpassed its campaign goal on Indiegogo – raising more than $50,000 as crowdfunding enters its final three weeks.

"We're excited that crowdfunders who want to make sure everyone is captured in their photos are turning to the Evo GoCam as the perfect solution," said AbleTech Founder Mario Bertucci. "Whether they're streaming from cool angles for action sports shots, or want to take better selfies, Evo GoCam offers the most portable and always-available solution."

The ultra-slim, lightweight camera slides into a custom smartphone case – featuring a special micro-suction back-plate so the camera can stick to almost every surface without the need for extra accessories.

Be alert to read related news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/owlet-raises-24-million-in-series-b.html

With Evo GoCam, users can get better group photos and videos, perfectly-framed selfies and shots captured from unusual positions – and it's ideal for discreet recordings to capture more candid moments.

Bertucci developed the Evo GoCam after the birth of his son Emanuele, when the new dad found he was rarely in the photos and videos he took of his son.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/pixel-film-studios-announces-transzoom.html

"A GoPro didn't solve the problem because I never had it when I needed to capture Emanuele's precious childhood moments, so I realized there needed to be a more versatile camera that was always connected to my smartphone and could work hands-free," he said.

From there, Bertucci developed Evo GoCam to create "a new eye" for any smartphone that was integrated and extractable, so he would never be without it. Evo GoCam, which slides into the phone case, is light, thin, ergonomic and easy to use – and can stick any surface.

"Using tripods, selfie sticks or leaning a phone against a tree stump are all attempts at trying to fix a fundamental problem with smartphone cameras, which is finding a way to hold the phone steady for pictures," Bertucci said. "With its adhesive back panel, which sticks to nearly any surface and detaches without leaving residue, Evo GoCam solves that problem for good."

Evo GoCam can even assist in parking in a tight spot, by attaching it to a vehicle bumper, and it can serve as a lightweight baby monitor. With the Evo app, the GoCam can be used to share on social media, watch recordings, or edit and apply filters. Read related news now.

To use the Evo GoCam, users just turn it on and connect it to a smartphone either via the internet with Wi-Fi, or by using WLAN.

Evo GoCam has many features, including:

Options

Use Cases are unlimited, but here are a few examples

ABOUT Evo GoCam - The Evo GoCam camera and smartphone case were created by AbleTech Inc. The team – including founder and general manager Mario Bertucci, designer Junior Claudio Christensen Theill and manager Enrico Panni -- believes the GoCam is the next step in mobile photography, making YOU part of the memory. Evo is the first wireless action camera which can be stored in the back of a specially-made smartphone case.

Believed to be the largest known securitization pool in the history of private residential money lending, the offering consists of real estate investment loans originated 100 percent by CIVIC.

The securitization, which closed on May 31, 2018, is comprised of 548 loans that carry an average loan amount of $346,715.33, with terms between one and four years. The first for the company, the securitization consists of "fix and flip", bridge, and repositioned loans issued to real estate investors.

Having recently surpassed $1.5 billion in historical funding, CIVIC is recognized as one of the fastest growing private money lenders in the nation. Read all the related news.

Speaking to the uniqueness of its vertically integrated model, Gary McCarthy, Partner of Wedgewood and Co-Founder of CIVIC, said "We de-lever risk in a way that is unrivaled in the industry." McCarthy added, "Wedgewood's expertise in valuations and value-add rehabs, in combination with HMC's best-in-class default resolution, dramatically reduces risk factors. The success of the CIVIC 2018-1 securitization is reflective not only of the assets inside of it, but also a validation of our platform."

William J. Tessar, President of CIVIC, said "This securitization will provide transparency and visibility into the performance of these types of loans, which is important not only for CIVIC, but for the entire private lending industry as a whole. It creates opportunities for lenders such as ourselves to access a lower cost of capital, which will be necessary in a rising rate environment along with the normal margin compression that takes place in a highly competitive space."

Tessar added, "The quality of our loans is a reflection of experienced borrowers who have their own skin in the deal, maintain good credit and have strategic exit plans for the short-term financing. We believe the strength of CIVIC's loan performance supports just that." Read related news now.
