"We're thrilled to welcome Swagtron to our team and look forward to showcasing their products starting this holiday season," said Vice President of Marquee Sports & Entertainment Alex Seyferth. "Their innovative bikes and scooters are perfect for riding locally to and from Wrigley Field and around the neighborhood. Not only are their products fun to ride but through this unique partnership, we are creating exciting activations and content we believe Cubs fans will enjoy." Read this here.

The Cubs' free bike valet service at Wrigley Field will include an official Swagtron electric bike and scooter charging station in 2019. In addition, a variety of Swagtron products will be available for purchase at the official Cubs Stores located at Gallagher Way (adjacent to Wrigley Field), Michigan Avenue in Chicago and at the Sloan Park Team Shop, the team's spring training facility in Mesa, Arizona.

"Even though electric bikes and scooters are practical, efficient modes of transportation, there's something just plain fun about riding them that I think the kid in all of us really connects with," says Swagtron CMO Jason Wakefield. "I think it's a lot like baseball in that way."

Swagtron products available throughout the season bearing the Official Cubs designation include the Swagger 5 Elite Folding Electric Scooter, the EB5 Folding Electric Bike and the Swagcycle PRO Compact Electric Bike.

Swagtron will roll out Cubs content, promotions and events throughout 2019 that will be unlike anything in the e-rideables industry.

"We're excited to see the Cubs ride into 2019 with a little extra Swag," says Wakefield. "And to give fans in Chicago and across the country the chance to ride like a pro."

Matternet Appoints Aviation and Healthcare Veterans to its Board of Directors

Matternet, developer of the world's leading autonomous drone logistics platform, today announced the appointment of Michael Whitaker and Dr. Laurence Marton to the company's board of directors. Whitaker brings extensive expertise in regulatory aviation affairs as FAA Deputy Administrator and Chief NextGen Officer with the Obama Administration, while Dr. Marton brings decades of healthcare experience from academia and industry.

"We're honored to have Michael Whitaker and Dr. Laurence Marton on our board," said Matternet founder and CEO Andreas Raptopoulos. "With deep knowledge in their respective fields, they will be instrumental in helping Matternet expand healthcare operations in the U.S. and overseas. As we continue to lead in the urban drone delivery space, we are eager to leverage their wisdom and insight to help us achieve our growth goals."

Whitaker has spent his entire career in aviation focusing on legal and regulatory affairs. Most notably, he spent 15 years at United Airlines and rose to Senior Vice President of Alliances, International and Regulatory Affairs, and in 2013 was appointed by President Obama to serve as Deputy Administrator and Chief NextGen Officer of the Federal Aviation Administration. During his time there, he worked closely with FAA Administrator Michael Huerta to run the world's busiest, most complex and safest air traffic control system. Whitaker currently advises airlines and aerospace companies, and as a member of the Matternet board, he is focused on helping the company achieve the ability to offer routine medically-related drone deliveries in the United States.

"What impresses me most about Matternet is the company's focus and passion," said Michael Whitaker. "While it seems at times there are unlimited use cases for drones, Matternet has stayed focused on UAS delivery in a very specific and important area: connecting healthcare providers. With this focus, I am confident in their ability to solve the safety, technical and economic challenges with medical drone delivery."

Dr. Marton has an extensive career in the healthcare sector. He was Dean of the University of Wisconsin Medical School and Chaired the Department of Laboratory Medicine at UCSF, where he was a Professor in the Departments of Laboratory Medicine and Neurological Surgery. Dr. Marton now serves as a consultant to nonprofit, government, industry, and academic institutions, and serves on the boards of nonprofit and for-profit entities including the American Association for Cancer Research Foundation, Cancer Commons, RenovoRx, TOMA Biosciences and Cellsonics.

"With their stellar management, determination, laser focus and devotion to quality, Matternet is on a path to make a significant difference in the healthcare space," said Dr. Laurence Marton. "They are approaching the integration of drone delivery in healthcare in a way that makes medical and financial sense. I am extremely motivated to help them achieve their goals."

City of Frederick Annexes 327-Acre Farm for Industrial Use

The City of Frederick, MD annexed 327 acres of agricultural county land that is among the largest contiguous industrial zoned properties for sale in the Washington DC / Baltimore MD metro area. City annexation of the Renn Farm was approved in August by the Frederick County Council. City officials cited the need for more light industrial or M-1 zoned property as the reason for the land's transfer and rezoning.

Read all the latest news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/04/pixel-film-studios-unveils-pro3rd.html

Richard Griffin, director of The City of Frederick's Department of Economic Development says the annexation provides Frederick with an important economic development opportunity. "Having available zoned land with appropriate infrastructure is critical to attracting quality employers and investment," he said. "The annexation contributes to the potential for new employment and an increased City tax base, which is vital to long term municipal sustainability."

Jim Mackintosh, co-owner of Mackintosh Realtors, represents the property owners and says, "the Renn Farm is sizeable enough to accommodate a number of large companies that want to purchase and locate there." Mackintosh says it has a total 3,000,000 sf. build-out and is among the closest such industrial properties to Washington, DC that is currently on the market. "The property offers access to the mid-Atlantic region's enormous distribution, consumer and employment base."

Helen Propheter, director of the Frederick County Office of Economic Development, agrees with Griffin and believes that the availability of industrial zoned land is imperative to Frederick County's overall business development. "About once a month we receive a request from an industrial business that is interested in purchasing–not leasing–but purchasing property. Having a variety of land and zoning options is vital to being able to respond to need." Read related news here.

Mackintosh says some industrial land does exist in Frederick County. "There are small industrial zoned properties, owned by developers, that can be leased. There are also some smaller industrial properties that can be purchased. But the Renn Farm is by far the largest industrial zoned parcel available for purchase in Frederick County." Making the Renn Farm especially desirable, he says, is the fact that the property has water and sewer service. "Well and septic fields can provide for the needs of small users. However large users need the guarantee of adequate water service for business-related needs and fire protection."

The M-1 zoning allows for a wide range of uses, according to Chris Smariga, president and CEO of Harris Smariga, a long-time planning, engineering and surveying company based in Frederick, MD. "Although M-1 is considered industrial, it is not heavy industrial," he says. "M-1 can include manufacturing, storage, office, and some ancillary type businesses. Many businesses conform to this kind of zoning."

Smariga believes there is the need for more industrial zoned land in Frederick County. "The problem is that if you don't have land available when businesses are making inquiries you often lose them to other counties or states. Having industrial land available keeps you in the conversation."

The property also has an additional 60-acre parcel that will retain its agricultural zoning. Macktintosh is hopeful that uses on the property might be expanded to include agricultural-related businesses such as wineries, distilleries, animal petting farms and day camps.

Propheter says the Renn Farm enjoys the advantage of excellent location–minutes from I-70, Frederick Municipal Airport, downtown Frederick, Fort Detrick, National Cancer Institute, and Riverside Research Park, which is home to Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research. "Adding to the appeal," she says, "is the incentive of The City of Frederick's Commercial and Industrial Property Tax Credit for manufacturing, fabricating or assembling operations."

Griffin believes businesses locating on the Renn Farm will also be supported by other economic development initiatives located nearby, including "East Frederick Rising," a 2,235 acre area on Frederick's east side, adjacent to the annexed property, where a number of new mixed-use development projects have already taken place, with others underway.

In addition to its many amenities, Mackintosh says the Renn Farm and Frederick County land in general offers the additional benefit of financial economy. "Land in neighboring Maryland and Virginia counties is breaking record sale prices," he says. "Here, businesses have the benefit of affordability, an enormous consumer marketplace, a lower cost of living and a higher quality of life."

New Study Uncovers Key Psychological and Emotional Links Between Cannabis and Happiness

A new study exploring the connection between cannabis usage and happiness uncovered several less common motivations for using cannabis that provide more happiness than expected.

Key findings of the study included:

The researchers also compared the amount of happiness derived from the motivators to the degree that people rated them as part of their experience. This allowed them to identify motivations for using cannabis that are not as popular, but bring more long-term happiness than people might expect.

Be alert to the latest news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/manscaped-and-bespoke-post-partner-on.html

"These findings line up with broader theories from the field of positive psychology," said Graham Hill, Director of Research at Zenzi. "Motivations that are more central to your identity, such as spirituality and living your values, produce deeper and longer lasting happiness than short lived pleasures such as escaping your problems or getting a temporary high."

Both marketers and consumers can benefit from the insights uncovered in the study. Marketers can better target the aspects of cannabis that provide true, long-lasting happiness, thus creating more satisfied, long-term customers. And cannabis consumers can now enhance their experience by exploring some of the emotions and motivations that lead to truer and longer lasting happiness and fulfillment.

By looking deep within, the authors believe the book will help to provide readers with guidance through self-reflection.

"There is such a great need for teenage girls to love who they are and be comfortable within their own skin," Hodder and Lancaster say. "A need to look within, be accountable for one's actions and know that the one thing you can control are your reactions to what life dishes out.
