Brian Grant Foundation Launches Team Grant Online Exercise Community for Parkinson's

The Brian Grant Foundation (BGF) has launched Team Grant, an easy-to-use online tool that allows people with Parkinson's disease (PD) to set fitness goals, track their exercise activities, earn badges for working out, and connect with others in the PD community.

At team-grant.briangrant.org, Team Grant members can create a profile where they can set fitness goals, track their exercise activity and monitor their progress. Each time a Team Grant member logs an activity on their profile, they are one step closer to earning a fun fitness badge. Users can also integrate their Team Grant fitness activity with a Fitbit wearable device.

Members of Team Grant will receive the latest information about managing Parkinson's symptoms through diet and exercise, including fitness and nutrition tips, interviews with experts, profiles of people in the Parkinson's community, and more. They'll also get updates from BGF founder Brian Grant, a former National Basketball Association player who was diagnosed with young onset Parkinson's in 2008.

"Playing in the NBA taught me about accountability to my teammates," said Brian Grant. "Together, we were able to overcome great odds. I believe Team Grant can build that same culture for the Parkinson's community so that we can live our lives to the fullest."

Team Grant is based on a former project of BGF and the World Parkinson Congress (WPC), called the Power Through Project, which was a marketing campaign for the WPC in September 2016. Power Through Project users formed teams to track their activity on a web-based map from Montreal, the site of the WPC 2013 to Portland, the site of the WPC 2016. The success of the Power Through Project campaign inspired the recently launched Team Grant network, where users can now set their own individual fitness goals and track their success toward achieving them.

Parkinson's is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects cells in the brain that produce dopamine, a chemical messenger that helps to control movement. The outward signs of Parkinson's may include tremors, slowness of movement, balance problems and rigidity. Though there is no cure for Parkinson's, research has shown that physical activity, healthy eating and social connections are important aspects for managing the condition and improving quality of life with the disease.

About Brian Grant Foundation
Founded in 2010, the Brian Grant Foundation (BGF) provides proven tools to improve the well-being of people with Parkinson's. BGF's efforts focus on wellness, specifically exercise, nutrition, and emotional health programs. Visit http://www.briangrant.org to learn more.

A New Cubacel Promotion for Cuban Expats, Hosted By HablaCuba.com

HablaCuba.com hosts a new Cubacel promotion next week. Starting September 9 until September 14, recharges between 20-60 CUC get a boost, as follows:

20 CUC sent = 50 CUC received
25 CUC sent = 55 CUC received
30 CUC sent = 60 CUC received
40 CUC sent = 100 CUC received
50 CUC sent = 110 CUC received
60 CUC sent = 150 CUC received

But Cubacel has set in place some restrictrictions when it comes to how to use the amount, differentiating between the main balance and the bonus - Bono Dinero. For starters, the bonus expires on October 3, whereas the main balance keeps the same validity as previous promos, that is 330 days from the recharge date. In addition to this, the Cubans who receive the top up should also pay attention to the way they want to spend the money wisely, because they can use the amount received both to purchase 3G packages, in case they have a compatible device, and talk and text in Cuba and abroad.

First Half Results are Positive for the U.S. B2B Tech Indirect Market, According to NPD

According to The NPD Group's B2B Distributor and Reseller Tracking Service, the U.S. B2B technology market saw 4 percent dollar growth during the first half of 2019 compared to first half 2018, with sales reaching nearly $45 billion. During this timeframe, software sales experienced 8 percent growth, now making up 26 percent of industry sales, while hardware dollar sales saw a 3 percent increase[1].

Be alert to read related news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-npd-group-reports-fragrance-trends.html

In software, the importance of security is continuing to drive sales gains in the first half of 2019 with increases in the following security software categories: security information & event management (+30 percent), identity & access management (+20 percent), and gateway & firewall (+15 percent). In non-security software, cloud infrastructure & platform-as-a-service saw the most notable growth up 37 percent, as firms leverage the cloud for office productivity and back-up and recovery – a trend we expect will continue.

In hardware, IT systems, which include PCs, storage, and servers, grew 7 percent fueled in part by the education buying season and a strong Windows 10 refresh cycle. The PC market saw growth with year-over-year dollar sales gains in notebooks and tablets. In storage, hyperconverged systems and all-flash array unit sales grew 35 percent and 60 percent respectively during the period. This was a result of declining average selling prices propelling volume, which is expected to continue as these segments are key to hybrid cloud strategies.

"While software is maintaining impressive growth in the channel, we expect hardware sales to remain healthy as a result of digital transformation and expanding networks," said Michael Diamond, director, industry analysis, B2B Technology for The NPD Group. "As companies seek to digitally transform themselves to drive internal productivity improvements coupled with enhanced customer centricity, the partner community must continue to transform itself into more consultative models with deep vertical and departmental expertise."

NPD is the only U.S. source for tracking sales-out data in the B2B technology channel, with data on more than 2,000 manufacturers from distributors and resellers, to show what IT products are selling, where, to whom and at what price.

Triple T Studios Introduces Unique Pearl Cat Head Shaped Snaps On Their New Cat Cardigan with Pockets

Triple T Studios introduces a whimsical twist on a traditional cardigan with the addition of signature pearl cat snaps. The cat cardigan is longer in length to cover your tail with slit pockets on both sides. This cardigan is updated with our signature pearl cat head snaps adding feline finesse to a classic style.
The cat cardigan has nine pearl cat snaps as a wink to the proverb "cats have nine lives".

The Pearl Cat Snap Cardigan is available in:

"Our cat snap cardigans are popular with our customers," said Joanne McGonagle, founder of Triple T Studios, "This fall we wanted to create a cardigan with a bit more bling adding feline finesse to a classic style."

Joanne McGonagle, owner of Triple T Studios, relies on her zoology degree when creating new cat inspired designs. McGonagle's inspiration to create Triple T Studios came during her field studies in Namibia. Realizing she could use her product knowledge from a previous career to support conservation projects, McGonagle followed her passion, trusted her instincts just like her cats, and Fashion With a Passion® was born!

Triple T Studios' name is a nod to The Tiniest Tiger, McGonagle's children's book written after an unplanned adoption of her cat Gracey from a local dog shelter. As a first-time cat parent, McGonagle recalls looking at the kitten curled up on her sweatshirt and saying out loud, "You are the tiniest tiger, how do I take care of you?" Smitten by the kitten, McGonagle started her award-winning blog by the same name and grew a fierce following of lovers of all cats big and small. Her love for Gracey led to her zoology studies in Miami University's Global Field Program where she focused on big cats and human wildlife conflict.

Triple T Studios supports the Cheetah Conservation Fund, Lion Guardians in Kenya, makes regular donations to Panthera's Tigers Forever program, and other big and small cat projects. The company has also adopted several baby elephants at the David Sheldrick Elephant Nursery in Nairobi where McGonagle had the pleasure to visit during field studies in Kenya. Read latest news here.

Triple T Studios is certified by the Women's Business Enterprise National Council as a woman-owned business. McGonagle is the owner of several trademarks and a design patent of the cat paw protective feet on the bottom of their handbags and totes.
