Healthy YOU Vending Recognizes Whole Grains Month and Fruit & Veggies – More Matters Month

The Fall season brings with it a variety of initiatives that support healthy eating. It's a great month for businesses and individuals to reevaluate health priorities.

In association with the harvest season, the Whole Grains Council, a nonprofit consumer advocacy group, is working to increase consumption of whole grains for better health. The most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans, released in 2015, recommends 3 full servings, or 3 ounces, of whole grains a day for adults and two servings for children. A slice of whole-grain bread, 1/3 cup cooked brown rice or whole-wheat pasta equals 1 serving. The average American eats less than one daily serving of whole grains — and some studies show that the diets of over 40% of Americans include no measurable whole grains.

The Whole Grains Council suggests that Americans can increase whole grains into their diets by making substitutions, trying new foods and experimenting with new recipes. Recommendations include:

Eating whole grains plays an important role in healthy teeth and gums. According to the Journal of Dental Research, 2018 Aug 3, some evidence suggests that whole grains lower the risk of oral cancer and gum infection (periodontitis) and that refined grains may significantly increase cavities, however, additional research is needed. Read this for more information.

In addition to whole grains, eating a colorful variety of fruits and vegetables each day can also play an important role in overall health. As children are returning to school, the Fruits & Veggies More Matters program is making a national call to action encouraging Americans to eat more fruits and vegetables. Their recommendation is to make sure meals and snacks are made up of half fruits and vegetables.

Healthfinder.gov suggests that people who also eat a healthy, balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables can help lower their risk of:

According to the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, scientists analyzed the eating habits and brain volume (using MRIs) of more than 4,000 adults without dementia. Eating plenty of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, dairy, and fish, and drinking fewer sugary drinks was linked with larger brain volumes. Healthier diets were also linked with more gray matter, white matter, and hippocampal volume in the brain.
Incorporating whole grains, fruits and vegetables into daily meals can improve health today and prevent health problems tomorrow. Healthy YOU Vending is an advocate for disease prevention and provides healthier food options for busy lifestyles.

Akron Zoo to Open Two New Wildlife Experiences in 2019 and 2020

The Akron Zoo is set to open two new areas in the next two years. Pride of Africa is scheduled to open in summer of 2019 and Wild Asia will open in summer 2020.

Pride of Africa will include a new, expanded habitat for a pride of African lions, Speke's gazelles, white storks and a new feeding area for goats. Pride of Africa will immerse guests in the culture of the Maasai living in the Southern Rift Valley of Kenya and the wildlife who share their land. Predators, prey, a special Maasai livestock enclosure called a boma, an expanded train ride and a spray pad will offer a rich learning experience for children and adults alike.

In Wild Asia, a new spacious Sumatran tiger habitat will allow for a pair of tigers. The red pandas will also have a larger habitat that will be home to a duo of red pandas. Due to popular demand, Wild Asia will also welcome a pair of white-cheeked gibbons.

In Pride of Africa and Wild Asia, the zoo expects many species will have breeding recommendations from the Species Survival Plan (SSP) from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). The SSP is a scientifically-managed breeding program that works to ensure a healthy, genetically diverse population of critically endangered species.
"With the opening of Pride of Africa and Wild Asia, your Akron Zoo has come full circle," said Doug Piekarz, president and CEO at the Akron Zoo. "With these two projects comes the renovation of Tiger Valley – the oldest area currently at the Akron Zoo, which opened in 1998. Combined, these two wildlife experiences will be the largest expansion to date. We're thrilled to offer our guests an opportunity to connect with and learn about new species, as well as current animals in new habitats."

The zoo is also raising funds through their ROAR campaign, a comprehensive campaign with contributions from individual donors, corporate partners and private foundations.

The Akron Zoo is approaching $3 million of the $6 million fundraising goal, thanks to support from lead donors, the Lehner Family Foundation and Robert. O. & Annamae Orr Family Foundation and many others. The zoo has also received a $500,000 appropriation from the State of Ohio.

Modern Distribution Management (MDM) Announces December Forum on Amazon Business

Modern Distribution Management has announced it will be hosting the "MDM Forum: How Distributors Should Respond to Amazon Business," on December 4-6 in Denver, CO, to help executives understand how to best manage their company's relationship with the leading industry innovator and disruptor.

The event is organized to evaluate the impacts of the explosive growth into traditional B2B markets by Amazon Business, which recently announced that it's on track to achieve $10 billion in sales this year, making it one of the world's largest distributors in just three years.

"Amazon Business is an entirely new kind of distributor and platform company," says Tom Gale, CEO of Modern Distribution Management. "We're going to cut through the hype to examine Amazon Business from every angle – value proposition, how to leverage its massive marketing and technology innovation, the right questions to ask about your own digital capabilities, how to differentiate and protect your hard-earned core customer relationships."

Speakers at the forum will include Mark Dancer, an NAW Institute for Distribution Excellence Fellow and published author on channel innovation and business transformation; Justin King and Jason Hein of B2X Partners, a full-service e-commerce consultancy focused on driving digital business for distributors and manufacturers; Ian Heller, MDM's President and lead Amazon Business analyst; and David Sass, President of Source Office Products, a company that has adapted and learned to thrive even after Amazon entered its market.

"This is a fast-changing competitive situation without precedent for distributors and manufacturers," says Gale. "We're bringing together the most knowledgeable Amazon Business insiders, experts and researchers to unpack the company's benefits and challenges to traditional distribution models."

In addition to presentations, the event will feature a combination of case studies and roundtable discussion opportunities with non-competing industry executives from a wide range of product sectors, each with unique perspectives based on markets and customer segments.

TextMail, an Automatic, Customizable Text Message Reply App, Officially Launches in Google Play

TextMail, a customizable autoreply text app by Galvan Technologies LLC, has officially launched in the Google Play store. It offers three different modes to automatically reply to incoming text messages - Auto-Reply, Driver, and Out of the Office. It is a useful app for business people, students, stay at home parents, and anyone in between who does not want to be disturbed by text messages for a specific amount of time.

"We are all connected to our phones and it can distract us from what is going on in our daily lives. Sometimes we just want to disconnect, but it becomes impossible when we constantly have to reply to text messages," said Chad Gallaway, developer of TextMail. Click here.

The Auto-Reply mode allows users to compose multiple responses of various lengths to automatically reply to incoming text messages for short, specific time intervals. With the Auto-Reply mode, users go undisturbed during meetings, naps, movies, or any other short-term activity without actually ignoring the sender or caller.

Drive mode, which can be disabled, automatically activates at 15 mph; it is intended to help drivers stay concentrated while driving. Conveniently, once the automatic reply message is composed, the user does not worry about turning this mode on or off before or after driving.

The Out of Office mode allows users to set up automatic replies to texts for longer periods of time than the Auto-Reply mode. This mode allows users to go undisturbed during leave time, vacations, or holidays while informing the sender or caller of the current situation, i.e "I am on vacation, I will call you back as soon as possible".

TextMail also includes a Message Log with the history of all the automatic messages sent during the time any of the three modes were active. This app requires a monthly or yearly paid subscription, which is completed after downloading. Users can also schedule Out of Office replies to manage incoming texts when they're on vacation.

Read this for more information.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/ca-flower-mall-petalers-prep-for-two.html

"TextMail was developed with everyone in mind," said Gallaway. "We are all busy, we have meetings, classes, and other activities that require our undivided attention, but we also do not want to ignore the people trying to reach us, we'd rather inform them that we cannot get to the phone at the moment they are trying to reach us."

TextMail was developed by Galvan Technologies, LCC. based in Indianapolis, Indiana. For more information, check out TextMail in the Google Play store.

Broadleaf Commerce Chooses Lead Liaison to Execute Sales & Marketing Strategy

Broadleaf Commerce provides robust commerce solutions to support enterprise retail brands. They've recently been named in Companies in America" rel="nofollow">Inc. 5000's List of Fastest-Growing Companies in America for the second year in a row. Their brand is rising to the top, and that's no accident. The company practices effective and efficient strategies, both internally and externally, in order to compete.

Broadleaf has experience with marketing automation solutions outside of Lead Liaison. Prior to using Lead Liaison's solutions, they used a competitor for email campaigns, website tracking, and social media. They started looking for an alternative solution that would enable them to do their wholistic prospecting and marketing automation within a single platform. They needed a solution that better aligned their sales and marketing team, with automation tools and the ability to personalize content.

Continue reading.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/a-kid-cell-phone-alternative-republic.html

After much research and consideration, Broadleaf Commerce chose Lead Liaison to replace their current marketing automation solution. In the video testimonial released this week, Broadleaf Commerce's Chief Operating Officer, Brad Buhl, and his team speak to the reasoning behind that decision.

"Lead Liaison helps us have a single platform to look at visitor views into the website and their interaction with us, on a more passive basis," says Buhl. "We've also gone through Sales Enablement with them, so now all of our emails are synced up with Lead Liaison from our sales team. We are able to get a full picture of when a customer comes in the door, what they click on, what they are interested in, and how we personally communicate with them." Read this for more information.

Lead Liaison's Sales Enablement is one of two cutting-edge solutions the software provider brought to the table over the last year - the other being their innovative event lead management solution. Sales Enablement provides a suite of sales solutions designed to make salespeople's lives easier. It provides two-way email sync so reps never have to use Bcc addresses to get content into their CRM, a sales automation functionality called Rhythms™ to help reps book more meetings, and even more customization options.

From a sales velocity perspective, Lead Liaison's solutions allow Broadleaf to see when their team starts working with a customer, how long it takes to close and what the steps are to get them closer to close. What's more, they can zoom out even further and look at the leading indicators for how a lead originated, to getting to the point where the customer reaches out.

"When it comes to content creation and building emails," says Cassandra Gaston, Marketing Specialist at Broadleaf Commerce, "I'm able to both use the editorial mode but also edit in HTML, which means that I can get as granular as I want to. When it comes to picking the right messaging for a campaign, you need to be able to get that granular."

Broadleaf Commerce's account executives also use Lead Liaison's CRM and Sales Enablement functionality for organization and outreach purposes. Their marketing team uses Lead Liaison's marketing automation and website visitor tracking solutions to create and distribute relevant and educational content, thus creating meaningful exchanges that build brand awareness. Their leadership team utilizes the reporting and analytics that come standard in Lead Liaison's software.

"We have five people on our business development team," say Nick Staargaard, Account Executive at Broadleaf Commerce. "We are competing against organizations that have thousands. By being able to use Lead Liaison in an effective manner, it allows us to compete with those bigger companies and really brings us to the forefront of that competition where we are being recognized by bigger companies now."

The collaboration between departments gives Broadleaf a lot of insight into their prospects and the kind of information they should be leading with when they make contact.

"In order to do a lot, you have to spend a lot," says Buhl. "But with Lead Liaison, you can do a lot without having to spend a lot. That's not only in the price of the software, but it's in the time that you have to consume in order to get there."

This video testimonial, plus many more, are available here.

Crowdfunders Grab Up the New Universal Tablet Accessory Handle Plus, Pushing Presales to Surpass $10,000 Campaign Goal on Kickstarter

Handle Plus, the first true universal tablet accessory that works as a stand, a handle, a carrier and even a hanger for iPad, Surface Go, Samsung Galaxy, Lenovo or any popular tablet of any size, has broken its campaign goal – raising more than $10,000 on Kickstarter.

"We're pleased to reach this point in our campaign and thank all our early-adopters on Kickstarter who are making Handle Plus a crowdfunding success," said Karl Strepkoff, co-creator of Handle Plus. "These backers will be the first to enjoy the versatility of Handle Plus, which solves all the problems related to handling tablets and it is the only true universal solution in today's market."

A month remains in the introductory crowdfunding campaign for Handle Plus, an all-in-one solution that makes using a tablet as easy as it should be and, unlike other market solutions, can be switched between tablet devices in seconds.

Setting out to create the best accessory ever developed for tablets, Strepkoff and his team spent four years in trials and developing prototypes to create an extra-strength gel formulation for Handle Plus. The gel enables Handle Plus to stick to any smooth, flat surface with ease —time and time again.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/morris-animal-lnn-introduces-canine.html

"There are many tablet accessories on the market, but so far none have really solved the universality issue," he said. "Many accessories are designed with a one-stick, one-use backing that gives them a short lifespan and makes it impossible to use them more than once. However, Handle Plus can be used over and over whether you're snapping it to your tablet or your e-reader."

Features of Handle Plus include:

Handle Plus combines all these features into one convenient device that can function in multiple ways, from a carry case to a stand.

"Attaching it is as simple as stick, press, and go—and once attached, it won't come off," Strepkoff added. "We're so confident about its gripping abilities that we include a one-year warranty with every Handle Plus."

Nicolas Liagre and Karl's combined expertise encompasses everything from a master's Degree in mechanical engineering to over 10 years of award-winning entrepreneurial business ventures.
