National Safety Shelters Announces Dual Purpose In-Classroom Shelters Now Available for Tornadoes and Active Shooters

For school districts located in "Tornado Alley", a new solution to school safety is beginning to turn heads. National Safety Shelters, authorized distributor for Hide-Away® Safety Shelters has announced the availability of an American-made safe-room designed to fit right into school classrooms. These safe-rooms offer near-absolute protection from the destructive forces of EF5 tornadoes as well as handguns, shotguns and even armor piercing ammunition. Hide-Away® Safety Shelters are a life-saving option that can be used in conjunction with other school security measures.

With a saferoom in each classroom, students can now attend school with an unprecedented level of security that no other safety measure can equal.

Due to the modular construction of these safety shelters, virtually any size or configuration can be produced. Standard sizes are available to protect from 10 to 35 students and more. Larger rooms such as cafeterias and gymnasiums can also be accommodated with a shelter to protect even hundreds of students and staff. Read all the related news.

The shelters are manufactured in Harrisonville, Missouri and constructed of ¼" thick American steel. Originally designed to protect against EF5 tornadoes, the shelters have been modified to provide NIJ Level IIIA protection against hand guns and shotguns. An upgrade to NIJ Level III military grade steel (used in combat vehicles) is available for enhanced protection from high caliber and armor piercing rounds. They are designed as a bolt together kit for easy assembly and require virtually no maintenance.

The average cost is about $15,000-20,000 per classroom. With a near-unlimited useful lifespan and zero operating costs, the Hide-Away® Safety Shelter offers an effective, economical solution to the current dilemma of school safety.

The Fox Sports Show "College Hoops" Teams Up With Current Music To Create New Opening Title Pop Song called "Make Em Believe"

The college basketball season started earlier this month and Fox Sports is set to bring some of the best games from the Big East. In the studio, Rob Stone returns as Fox Sports' lead college basketball host and will be joined by other recognizable faces from past years.

Having enjoyed a good relationship with Current Music from their previous work together, including the title opening song for their College Football Studio Show, Fox Sports producer Rick Thomas brought them on once again to do the same for The College Basketball Studio Show aka "College Hoops". To open the show, they were looking for a powerful hip hop track song a pop feel to it.

Current Music relayed the request from Fox Sports to their custom music team. After considering the demo submissions, the producers chose a track by the alternative rock band Blondstone, which is on Current Music's roster of composers.

"I think they picked our song because of the epic chord progression feel" says Blondstone's Laurent Lepagneau.

"Initially they liked the energy the track had and how it didn't sound like anything else" says Current Music's CCO Christian Salyer. "Once they decided on the track and it was time to add vocals, we thought it would be cool to add rock vocals to it; to make it even more unique, and they really liked that idea."

Adding vocals created an exciting and powerful pop-rock-hip hop song called "Make Em Believe", which debuts on College Hoops December 1st, 2018. Read latest news here.

Current Music's composers have also penned the theme song or opening title music for FS1's Lock It In, Fox Sports College Football Pregame Show, and The NHL on NBC, among others. Read about them all in "THE LATEST" https://www.currentmusic.com/

Trepp Ranks the 15 Top Metro Areas for CRE Investment Potential

Trepp, LLC, the leading provider of information, analytics, and technology to the structured finance, commercial real estate, and banking markets, has published new research on the 15 top metropolitan statistical areas (MSA) and their potential for commercial real estate investment. The report can be requested by filling out the form here: https://info.trepp.com/trepps-ranking-of-the-15-largest-msa-pr.

Click here.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/us-lead-network-now-offering.html

Based on a multitude of economic and commercial real estate data used to formulate the overall ranking, the San Jose, California MSA tops Trepp's ranking of the 15 top MSAs in terms of investment potential. San Jose has the best delinquency rate, average occupancy rate, and unemployment reading of the 15 MSAs measured. The San Francisco, California, and Seattle, Washington MSAs finished in second and third, respectively, in Trepp's study.

"Our ranking of the top 15 MSAs gives market participants a sense of how these markets compare to each other across commercial real estate and more general economic factors," said Joe McBride, Director of Applied Data and Research at Trepp. "The West Coast's heavy tech presence boosted the top-ranked areas while a more stagnant Midwest pulled a few markets toward the bottom of the list." More info here.

Trepp called upon six data variables to rank the markets in its study. Once data was collected, Trepp researchers conducted a multiple regression to test the relative importance of each variable and assign a weight to that variable. In addition to key data such as employment numbers and population growth, Trepp used the following criteria from their own commercial loan database as of Q2 2018 to tabulate their rankings:

The two largest US MSAs, New York City and Los Angeles, were ranked seventh and eighth, respectively. Both metros have average occupancy rates but suffer from relatively high unemployment and stagnant population growth. The worst-performing MSAs were the Detroit, Michigan and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania metro areas.
