Bill and his wife of 63 years, Roswitha, were passionate collectors of the art of Rockport, Gloucester, and Cape Ann. Bill's knowledge of art and art history was vast, and the pair traveled to auction houses and art galleries throughout the Northeast in pursuit of their beloved Cape Ann artists. They were frequent visitors to the Kaminski Auction gallery and were often seated in the front rows bidding on another acquisition for their collection.

Bill was an active member of the Rockport Art Association, the Cape Ann Museum, North Shore Art Association and Montserrat College of Art. He and Rowintha founded what is now, the Waldorf School at Moraine Farm in Beverly, Massachusetts.

Smoke's Poutinerie Exec to Share Franchising Strategies at the Restaurant Franchising & Innovation Summit

One only has to peruse the menu at Smokes Poutinerie to understand the passion behind the 150-location fast casual brand. Click here to read the latest news.

Or they could simply meet founder Ryan Smolkin who is not hard to miss when he's out spreading the word about his 9-year-old franchise cropping up at incredible speed from Canada to Hollywood to Tampa. The brand opened 10 franchises just the second year of operation, and that figure has just kept doubling.

Ryan will share his franchising expertise with attendees of the 4th annual Restaurant Franchising & Innovation Summit, March 11-13 in Louisville.

"It's been a wild ride," Smolkin said with a huge grin while promoting his franchise at the recent International Franchise Expo held at the Javits Conference Center in New York City and wearing his typical attire — a red plaid hunters cap, signature shades and red shirt. He's hard to miss even in the throng of thousands attending the three-day event.

Smolkin is also the brand's alter ego, a man called Smoke who, as legend has it, revamped the Canadian Poutine. Smoke even has his own Twitter hashtag #PlaidNation, an obvious nod to the founder's garb. The Smoke's Poutinerie menu is clearly as passionate and colorful as its brand leader. Based on the simple French fry with gravy concept, Smolkin makes poutine a culinary extravaganza to meet the want of his core audience (Canadians, college students, travelers).

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/mothers-day-comes-with-triple-bonus-for.html

The hand-cut made fresh daily fries, cheese curd and "signature gravy" can be topped with dozens of extras (from pork to chicken to steak and vegetarian options). Think chili cheese bacon, the "hangover" choice featuring scrambled eggs, double-smoked bacon and maple syrup, the 'hogtown' boasting Italian sausage, sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions and that double-smoked bacon.

There's the Korean Poutine — complete with flatiron steak, sambal, Korean BBQ sauce and green onions. Or try the non meat Rainbow, topped off with guacamole, sriracha sauce, sour cream and cheese sauce. And, of course, one can always get extra curd, gravy, meat or add double-smoked bacon if it's not on the ingredient list.

All those creative takes on the poutine is driving a billion dollars in sales at this point. And while each location offers the same menu, each Smoke's is different than all the others — a purposeful decision that's also tied to some operational aspects. Some locations, due to consumer interest, require two fryer stations for example.

"They're all unique," said Smolkin, but very much the same in some critical ways. Each location, he said, is focused on building the brand, offering the same experience and the same atmosphere. "People are just embracing it," he added.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/neosante-delictase-oral-drops-lactase.html

Smoke's average customer is between the ages of 18 and 25 and typically have a fun nightlife as franchise sales spike between the hours of midnight and 4 a.m.

Each year Smolkin hosts a CEO challenge for charity — whichever company leader can eat the most poutine in two minutes is the winner. Smolkin, who won last year's title, ate 3 1/2 pounds (equivalent to 7 orders).

It's that contagious love for poutine that caught Toine Murphy's attention when he heard about Smoke's from another business colleague. He, along with three other associates, was all in after spending time visiting Smoke's, talking with customers and talking at length with Smolkin. Murphy and his business group operate franchises in Michigan, Ohio and downtown Detroit.

"I had never done a restaurant and had heard only horror stories [about going into franchising]," he recalled, adding that he researched so thoroughly it was as if he was seeking a reason to say 'no' to becoming a franchisee, he said. He conducted in-the-street interviews, asking locals in bars where he could get good poutine and the answer always came back the same: Smoke's.

Success, according to both Smolkin and Murphy, is tied to a few factors.

"Keep it simple and focus on the experience," advised Murphy.

Smolkin, just as enthusiastically, says franchise success is all about having no fear and doing what Nike says to do: just do it.

"It's about being real, having fun, don't be afraid. It's about passion."

Support for Unaffiliated U.S. Senate Candidate Neal Simon Up 10 Points Since Last Statewide Poll, Cardin Drops Below 50 Percent

A new statewide poll conducted by Gonzales Research & Media Services shows unaffiliated candidate Neal Simon has gained 10 points in the U.S. Senate race for Maryland, securing 18 percent of support from likely voters. The same poll shows a rapid decline in incumbent Sen. Ben Cardin's support, which Gonzalez's research shows has dropped below 50 percent for the first time this cycle.

Be alert to read related news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/iowa-police-chiefs-gathering-may-22.html

Despite common misconceptions from the press, including The Washington Post, about a lack of support for unaffiliated candidates, 54 percent of voters said they will consider an unaffiliated candidate for U.S. Senate; 56 percent of Democratic respondents also said they would consider an unaffiliated candidate; 30 percent of undecided voters lean to Simon. In comparison, only 4 percent of undecided voters are leaning towards Cardin and only 3 percent are leaning towards voting for Republican candidate Tony Campbell.

"Now that Marylanders are noticing there is another viable and credible choice for the U.S. Senate besides Ben Cardin, more and more Independents, Democrats, and Republicans are supporting our efforts to change the way Washington works," said Simon. "We are committed to winning on November 6 and will work tirelessly to listen to Marylanders and take our message across the great state of Maryland for the next 26 days."

The results of the Gonzalez poll make Simon the best performing independent U.S. Senate candidate in the country and the one with the best chance of winning. Read news here.

"When mapping out our path to victory, this is exactly where we thought we would be 26 days before Election Day," said Steve Crim, campaign director and the former director of Maryland Governor Larry Hogan's successful 2014 campaign. "Neal still has plenty of room to define his candidacy, especially because his name recognition is only at 47 percent. We will continue to see momentum in the polls as more and more Marylanders see that they have a better choice for U.S. Senate besides politicians who put party bosses ahead of hard working Marylanders." Read this for more information.

Neal Simon's campaign purchased three rider questions on the Gonzales Maryland Survey conducted from October 1-6, 2018. The campaign purchased the questions because the polling firm had not planned on including the Maryland U.S. Senate race in its poll. The campaign had no input on the methodology or the sample, which were dictated by the pollster who was conducting the same survey for public release of the Governor and Attorney General races.

Paid for by Neal Simon for U.S. Senate.

World Premiere of “The Edge of Success”: Doc Features Startling Insight into Silicon Valley Teen Suicide Clusters

Co-directors Liza Meak and Kathryn Basiji are proud to present the World Premiere of "The Edge of Success", a feature-length documentary film with startling insights into two Palo Alto teenage suicide clusters that occurred between 2009 - 2015, while also uncovering the potential causes of a burgeoning teen mental health crisis. The film's World Premiere will take place on Thursday, October 18, 2018, at the Regal Cinemas L.A. LIVE (1000 W Olympic Blvd) at 9:20 p.m. in Downtown Los Angeles, CA, as an Official Selection of the 10th Annual DTLA Film Festival. Read related news here.

Kathryn Basiji, a graduate of Palo Alto's Gunn High School (which the deceased students attended), joined forces with Liza Meak, an award-winning NBC investigative journalist and producer of the critically acclaimed documentary, "Batkid Begins" (New Line Cinema).

Meak says, "We wanted to tell this story from the inside perspective of this exclusive and somewhat mysterious community that was shaken by these shocking events. We were able to shadow six students through their junior and senior years to gain insight on what really happens behind-the-scenes at one of the best high schools in the nation. It was paramount to understand and share the pressures these kids face and see what if any correlation there was to the tragic teenage deaths."

Palo Alto, California, sits in the heart of Silicon Valley, just a few miles from tech giants like Google and Facebook, and home to Stanford University. Some of the wealthiest and smartest people in the world call this Bay Area city home, but it's also home to a sobering statistic. In recent years, there have been two high school suicide clusters: the first was between 2009-2010, when five current and former students took their own lives; and five years later, during the 2014/2015 school year, four more students died by suicide.

Basiji explains, "Since the suicide clusters, which garnered national attention, several more recent high school graduates have taken their own lives, and countless others have received both inpatient and outpatient care for treatment of stress, anxiety, and depression. We hope the film will serve as a mode of healing and an impetus for change. It will also shed light for others out there that might be grappling to understand heartbreaking tragedies like this."

The documentary provides an inside-out look at a community struck by tragedy—from the school district to the parents, mental health experts, educators and local pediatricians. They see sleep-deprivation, stress, and anxiety in teenagers they interact with daily and are looking at new approaches to stem the tide of this burgeoning crisis. Read this for more information.

While Palo Alto has made headlines for their tragedies, "The Edge of Success" explores the national implications of the city's crisis.

Be alert to the latest news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/rob-lowe-hosts-new-on-demand-segment-on.html

The film doesn't claim to solve the problem, but it will provide an intimate, honest, and gripping first hand account that will spark important dialogue over what can be done to improve the state of mental health for adolescents and teens.

The filmmakers are in talks for strategic partnerships with suicide prevention non-profit organizations.

The film will have its next screening at the Portland Film Festival on Wednesday, October 24th at 7:00 p.m.

"The Edge of Success" is co-directed by Liza Meak and Kathryn Basiji. It is Basiji's first foray into directing. The director of photography is industry veteran Steve Pitre, and editing is by Emmy winner Jeff Clayton.

Global Consumer Media Usage Up 2.1% to 50.9 Hours Weekly in 2018, Powered by Surge in Consumption of Mobile Audio, OTT Video, Digital Games, eBooks/News by 12-39 Demos

Global consumer media usage & exposure, including all digital and traditional media combined, is on pace to grow 2.1% to an average of 50.9 hours per week (HPW) in 2018, powered by digital audio, video, books, news and games, as well as the growing middle class in emerging markets demanding more digital content in their native languages, according to a closely watched annual study just released by PQ Media.

Consumer time spent with media worldwide is projected to increase at a slower 1.5% in 2019, due to the absence of even-year stimulation from major sporting and political events, according to PQ Media's Global Consumer Media Usage & Exposure Forecast 2018-22.

Driven by continued strong growth in mobile media channels, overall digital media usage is expected to rise an estimated 8.8% to 12.7 HPW in 2018, accounting for 25% of all global media usage, up from only 15.2% just six years ago. Among the high-octane digital media fueling growth this year are mobile audio, video and books – the three fastest-growing digital channels – each of which is growing by more than 20% compared with their 2017 rates.

In some major markets, however, mobile media usage growth is decelerating due to declines in smartphone and tablet sales, particularly in key international markets where wireless device penetration is either nearing saturation, like in South Korea, or reporting declines in mobile phone subscribers because of economic instability, such as in South Africa.

Time spent accessing content on digital devices rose 9.7% in 2017 to 11.7 HPW. However, with consumers using mobile devices more often to access content, global internet media usage increased only 0.3% last year, and is expected to decline in 2018. Other digital media, including over-the-top (OTT) video, digital out-of-home (DOOH) media and satellite radio, among others, posted a strong 12.8% increase in 2017, and PQ Media pacing data indicates this category is growing at an accelerated rate this year due to the growth of OTT video services, driven by huge investments in original productions and native language programming.

PQ Media analysts noted the continued shift of consumer time spent with media to wireless devices and mobile media has distinct generational overtones. Although i-Gens (born 1981-1996) use media much less than older generations – slightly over 27 HPW in 2018 – almost 40% of their media consumption is done via digital devices. In comparison, the Great Generation (born pre-1945) use media the most at nearly 83 HPW in 2018, though only 19% of their media consumption occurs on digital devices.

With the release of the new study, PQ Media has become the first-ever market researcher to track consumer time spent with media among the world's newest generation, a group identified as "m-Gens," or those born starting in 2013. Click here to read the latest news.

"The m-Gens are being exposed to media almost immediately, with parents playing digital music to sooth them or reading e-books to enhance intellectual development. By the time the child is five years old, he/she is consciously asking to watch, listen or play a range of entertainment and educational media content via multiple digital and traditional devices," said PQ Media CEO Patrick Quinn. "In fact, time spent with media among m-Gens is expected to grow 21.5% this year to more than 13 HPW, compared to less than 2 HPW in 2013."

Meanwhile, traditional media usage is expected to be flat this year at 38.2 HPW, after closing out 2017 with the first-ever worldwide decline. Aside from typical even-year boosts from sports and politics, traditional media was bolstered this year by atypical political events, such as print book readership growth related to new titles about the Trump Administration and increased radio listenership boosted by talk show debates about US-China tariff disputes and global leader summits. Nevertheless, live TV viewing will decline for the sixth consecutive year in 2018, as prime-time audiences continue to shift their viewing to laptops, smartphones, tablets and VOD, particularly Millennials and i-Gens.

"Consumer media usage reached a milestone in 2017, which marked the first time over half of all media consumption occurred outside the home, fueled by more TV viewing and videogame playing on smartphones; reading of newspapers, magazines and books via tablets; and exposure to real-time information on DOOH media screens at various indoor and outdoor locations, such as transit stations, gyms and doctor's offices," Quinn said.

Among the 20 largest media markets, Japan will post the highest usage in 2018 at 77.7 HPW, while Russia will boast the fastest growth with 4.4%, and Australia leads the world with the highest digital media share of total media usage at 41.3%. In the US, consumer time spent with media is projected to increase 1.3% to 70.7 HPW, as OTT video and mobile audio growth will drive up digital's share of total media consumption to 38.2%.

With the release of the new study, PQ Media has become the first-ever market researcher to track consumer time spent with media among the world's newest generation, a group identified as "m-Gens," or those born starting in 2013.

"The m-Gens are being exposed to media almost immediately, with parents playing digital music to sooth them or reading e-books to enhance intellectual development. By the time the child is five years old, he/she is consciously asking to watch, listen or play a range of entertainment and educational media content via multiple digital and traditional devices," said PQ Media CEO Patrick Quinn. "In fact, time spent with media among m-Gens is expected to grow 21.5% this year to more than 13 HPW, compared to less than 2 HPW in 2013."

Meanwhile, traditional media usage is expected to be flat this year at 38.2 HPW, after closing out 2017 with the first-ever worldwide decline. Aside from typical even-year boosts from sports and politics, traditional media was bolstered this year by atypical political events, such as print book readership growth related to new titles about the Trump Administration and increased radio listenership boosted by talk show debates about US-China tariff disputes and global leader summits. Nevertheless, live TV viewing will decline for the sixth consecutive year in 2018, as prime-time audiences continue to shift their viewing to laptops, smartphones, tablets and VOD, particularly Millennials and i-Gens.

"Consumer media usage reached a milestone in 2017, which marked the first time over half of all media consumption occurred outside the home, fueled by more TV viewing and videogame playing on smartphones; reading of newspapers, magazines and books via tablets; and exposure to real-time information on DOOH media screens at various indoor and outdoor locations, such as transit stations, gyms and doctor's offices," Quinn said.

Among the 20 largest media markets, Japan will post the highest usage in 2018 at 77.7 HPW, while Russia will boast the fastest growth with 4.4%, and Australia leads the world with the highest digital media share of total media usage at 41.3%. In the US, consumer time spent with media is projected to increase 1.3% to 70.7 HPW, as OTT video and mobile audio growth will drive up digital's share of total media consumption to 38.2%.
