The board of directors—all PPA members themselves—will shape the vision for the association until March 2021. More info here.

Makayla Harris is an acclaimed wedding photographer from Saratoga Springs, New York. She's also a print influencer and member of the Printographers Society who will be speaking at Imaging USA 2020 in January.

Sunrise Hitek Debuts Meter Boards with Base for Trade Shows

Meter Boards help event vendors and attendees find their way around and are also useful to announce the seminars at an event. Meter Boards are easy to use and the ones from Sunrise Hitek offer a unique base that ships flat and is extremely light. Weight and portability are both important considerations when planning a trade show event. The easy fold base requires no tools and can be easily assembled on the show floor.

Meter Boards with base from Sunrise Hitek are printed on 1/2" thick Ultraboard for a rigid high-end look that won't warp. The base can be white or black water-resistant 4mm Coroplast and is water resistant. The base is hollow but can be filled with sandbags or water bottles for added stability. These boards are the most popular width 31.5" (800mm) and come in three different heights, 95", 86" or 78" tall. They can be printed full color on a single side or double-sided with printing on the back as well.

To avoid extra airline baggage local pickup is available for the Chicago area. Popular trade show venus are McCormick Place Convention Center, Donald E Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont and Navy Pier in Chicago. Read news here.

For those looking for something even larger, Sunrise also makes a Self-Standing Display Tower. This piece is printed on 4mm coroplast, and are folded into panels to create a triangular piece that allows for viewing on all sides. Coroplast is super lightweight for easy portability, but they are also reinforced at the bottom so sandbags can be added for outdoor use. This 8' tall display tower attracts attention in any crowd. 4' tall desktop towers are great for smaller trade shows.

Veego Reveals Breakthrough Connected Home Solution for Internet Service Providers

Veego, an Israel-based startup bringing artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies to perfect the customer experience and slash customer-support costs of the smart home, today revealed industry-changing information surrounding the release of its first commercial product. The AI-embellished, home router-resident Veego Agent continuously monitors the behavior of devices and services while it autonomously detects, analyzes and resolves malfunctions and behavior anomalies as they occur.

After several demanding proof-of-concept projects undertaken with leading Internet Service Providers in Europe and North America on various Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), Veego opens the curtain on its eagerly anticipated Veego Agent, providing improved customer experience and cost-slashing customer-support assistance to ISPs, as well as technological and brand superiority to router manufacturers.

"Until now, Service Providers have been blind to the myriad of connected devices that their customers have been buying, hooking up, configuring, and using," said Veego CTO, Denis Sirov. "Our AI-enabled Agent not only gives them real-time visibility of devices, but also the services they consume, all in real time and without intruding into personal information."

Read all the latest news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/owlet-raises-24-million-in-series-b.html

The Veego Agent resides unobtrusively in home routers and extenders, and goes far beyond watching device and service behavior. Automatically detecting behavior anomalies, often before home users experience problems, the Agent analyzes and pinpoints the source of device and service problems within and even beyond the home. For ISPs, that means an end to lengthy support calls, unproductive truck rolls and unnecessary equipment replacements which are very significant drains on profitability.

"Many ISPs and router manufacturers are anxious to gain the extreme value from installing the Veego Agent in home routers," stated Amir Kotler, Veego CEO. "Our ROI calculations indicate a $25 savings per home per year just on customer-support services for ISPs, not to mention higher customer satisfaction and lower churn rates. In addition, Veego also issues alerts about conditions that can help generate millions of dollars annually in upsell and cross-sell opportunities. This includes automatic identification of customers who will be receptive to offers of extenders, bandwidth packages and other smart devices in the ISP's arsenal."

The Veego Agent is now generally available. Read here.

Yamaha PSS-F30 Keyboard Provides Everything Children Need to Start Playing

Yamaha today announced the PSS-F30 portable keyboard. Designed specifically for children of grade school age, the PSS-F30 lights the spark all children feel when they play their first notes, then becomes a faithful musical partner as they play their next, and their next, and their next… Click here.

The fun begins with a high-quality, 37-note mini keyboard that's sized for small hands without feeling toy-like. With 120 Voices (instrument sounds) sharing a heritage with those in professional Yamaha instruments, the PSS-F30 doesn't sound toy-like either. Children will delight in discovering not only traditional keyboard instruments like piano and organ, but guitar, bass, drums, synths, brass, strings, woodwinds, and non-Western instruments as well. There are even selections of dual Voices (two instrument sounds together) and split Voices (different sounds for the left and right hands).

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/eat-2-win-sports-nutrition-app-fills.html

Nothing is more fun than feeling like a one-kid band. This is why the PSS-F30 includes 114 accompaniment styles, which combine drum rhythms with full background instrumentation. Rock, jazz, country, waltz, and more are covered, including multi-cultural styles from across the globe. This encourages children to play songs in different ways and develop appreciation of all musical genres. Not to ignore the value of traditional piano practice, eight styles are devoted to accompanying it.

Using the Smart Chord function, a child can play one-finger chords in the lower range of the keyboard as the accompaniment styles follow along. This can be switched to full-fingered chords as learning progresses. Also, 30 fun, familiar tunes we all hear throughout our lives are built into the PSS-F30. Their tempo can be slowed down to make learning easier, or sped up to develop skill. A corresponding downloadable songbook lets parents participate in the ensuing musical adventures.

The PSS-F30 is intuitive to use, with controls relating to Voices color-coded in orange and anything about songs or accompaniment in yellow. By pressing the Function button then a key, the player can control all of the PSS-F30's settings, such as sustain, key transposition, a handy metronome, Smart Chord, and more.

Between its diminutive size and weight (under 20 inches wide; two pounds and ten ounces) and the fact that it can run on either four AA batteries or USB power (such as from a phone charger) using the included USB cable, the PSS-F30 can truly go anywhere. Plugging into the headphone jack mutes the internal speaker, and there are even parental controls over maximum headphone volume.

"The PSS-F30 gives kids an engaging musical gateway that neither feels nor sounds cheap," said Ben Harrison, marketing manager, Digital Piano and Portable Keyboard, Yamaha Corporation of America. "It's affordable, rugged, and will provide enjoyment for years to come."

Pricing and Availability
The Yamaha PSS-F30 (MSRP $99.00) will be available exclusively at Amazon through the end of 2019. For more information, visit https://yamaha.io/2JNcDMI
