High Level of Construction Activity Continues to Stretch Skilled Labor Availability

Turner Construction Company announced that the Fourth Quarter 2019 Turner Building Cost Index—which measures costs in the non-residential building construction market in the United States—has increased to a value of 1177. This represents a 1.29% quarterly increase from the third quarter of 2019 and a 4.84% annual increase from the fourth quarter of 2018, respectively.

"We continue to see the national construction market fairly busy with several large projects starting in the fourth quarter," said Attilio Rivetti, the Turner vice president responsible for compiling the Cost Index. Attilio continued, "Raw material costs in the fourth quarter of 2019 have been relatively stable. As 2019 comes to a close, trends over the past few years have shown we often start the year with price increases in fabricated materials, and we may expect the same for the first quarter of 2020."

Turner has prepared the construction cost forecast for more than 80 years. The building costs and price trends tracked by the Turner Building Cost Index may or may not reflect regional conditions in any given quarter. The Cost Index is determined by several factors considered on a nationwide basis, including labor rates and productivity, material prices and the competitive condition of the marketplace. This index does not necessarily conform to other published indices because others do not generally take all of these factors into account.

Custom Tailored Dresses at Speed and Scale, delivering the perfect fit to you in 3 days a revolutionary approach to sizing that is set to disrupt the apparel industry

New Manhattan today announced the launch of its Flagship brand Pose, offering women's custom-tailored dresses. Their tailoring technology allows them to custom tailor off-the-rack dresses based on four customer measurements. This revolutionary process eliminates the need for traditional sizing. Historically, brands have approached sizing through a generic model which has made it difficult for consumers to get a product that fits right. They are often left guessing on how a product will fit from one brand to the next and even product to product. New Manhattan's technology creates a breakthrough in sizing and delivers the Perfect Fit every time. They launched Pose because they believe that every shopper deserves a product that fits their unique body style.

Jonathan Sotoodeh, CEO - "Every single human being has features that they want to bring out — that they want to highlight regardless of their shape and size. When you get something tailored, our algorithm can highlight the features you want and also fits perfectly and makes you feel your best."

What our customers are saying

Features and benefits

A limited offering of custom-tailored dresses is available now, with prices ranging from $80 - $150. For more information on our products and custom tailoring technology, visit https://pose.shop.

His Royal Highness Prince Constantijn van Oranje, Special Envoy of Techleap.nl, Unveils The 50 Netherlands Technology Startups On Display At CES 2020

Techleap.nl, the Netherlands' startup ecosystem accelerator, today announced the 50 Dutch startup companies who will take part in the Netherlands Tech Square January 7 – 10 at Sands Expo, Eureka Park, Hall G-51726 in Las Vegas at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the world's gathering place for all those who thrive on the business of consumer technologies.

Dutch ingenuity has played a significant role in the world's evolution over the past 500+ years, in large part because the Dutch are extremely good at finding smart solutions that address the world's most challenging problems. The birthplace of WiFi, Bluetooth and LED technology, the Netherlands is a technology innovation leader in diverse sectors, and the participating Dutch startups at CES 2020 are no different. They focus heavily on the key sectors set to define future economies, including: sustainability, smart mobility, energy storage, energy solutions, clean energy, energy transition, smart cities, healthy living, consumer tech, AR/VR, audio and video, e-Commerce, AI, big data, blockchain, robotics, drones, sleeptech, medtech, healthtech, edtech and enterprise solutions.

The country hit over $1 billion in investment for the first time and became the fastest growing startup region in the 2019 Genome Global Startup Ecosystem Report, helped by the successful exits of Adyen (a fintech company now valued at nearly $23 billion), Elastic(a search and data company currently valued at more than $6 billion), and new unicorn companies like GitLab. The Dutch government also made a €65 million fund available for startup and scale-up policies, and appointed six startup liaisons in six priority international metropolitan area hubs (San Francisco/Los Angeles, New York/Boston, Singapore, Berlin, Paris and London.

Monster Energy’s Kokomo Murase Takes Second Place in Women’s Snowboard Big Air, Teammate Giulia Tanno Claims Second Place in Women’s Freeski at Visa Big Air in Atlanta

Monster Energy congratulates two of its leading female Big Air snow sports athletes on strong podium finishes in Atlanta, Georgia, this weekend. Supported by Monster Energy as a Founding Premium Partner, the Visa Big Air competition showcased spectacular snowboard and freeski aerial tricks on a massive snow jump inside SunTrust Park stadium.

In front of a live crowd of over several thousand spectators and TV audiences across the globe, 15-year-old Japanese snowboard phenomenon Kokomo Murase took home second place in the competitive Women's Snowboard Big Air final on Friday.

In Saturday's Women's Ski Big Air final, 21-year-old Giulia Tanno from Lenzerheide, Switzerland, claimed a strong second place finish against the freeski world elite in the third official event of the 2019/20 Big Air World Cup season sanction by the International Ski Federation (FIS). This marks her fourth medal since her Ski Big Air silver medal at X Games Norway in August.

Made possible through a partnership between the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball team and official governing body U.S. Ski & Snowboard, Visa Big Air transformed SunTrust Park stadium into a snow sports mecca. The center of the action was a 15-story jump structure comprised of around 30,000 pieces of steel and covered in 800 tons of artificial snow during the two-day event. Riders dropped in from the top of the scaffold structure to hit a snow jump, covering a distance of over 70 feet at speeds up to 40 miles per hour.

With the world's best aerial experts gunning for the top spots – including several Olympic medalists – here's how the action unfolded inside the home of the Atlanta Braves this weekend:

Women's Snowboard Big Air: Snowboard Phenom Kokomo Murase Claims Podium Spot

Despite her young age, Monster Energy's Kokomo Murase stepped into Visa Big Air Atlanta as a certified podium favorite. Facing a stacked field of riders, Murase qualified for the six-rider final alongside her teammate, 16-time X-Games medalist and two-time Olympic Gold medalist Jamie Anderson.

But during practice right before the final, Anderson suffered a heavy fall, injuring her head and shoulder. The 29-year-old snowboard icon from Lake Tahoe, California, had to pull out of the competition but soon let her 500,000 followers on Instagram know that she was going to be okay.

Be alert to the latest news.:

Facing heat from fellow Japanese big air athlete Reira Iwabuchi, Kokomo Murase attacked the snow jump at SunTrust Park stadium with a frontside double cork 900 Indy on her first attempt for 82.75 points.

She added to the score with a backside 720 mute over the gap for 76.75 points, bringing her total to 159.5 points for a strong second place behind Iwabuchi.

Kokomo Murase has counted among the upcoming riders to watch on the international snowboard big air circuit since her upset victory at X Games Norway 2018. Only 13 years old at the time, Murase clinched the win in a field of seasoned veterans, including freshly minted Olympic medalists, while at the same time making history as the first girl to land a 1260 double cork in a competition. Hailed as one of the new faces of snowboarding progression, she took silver in Women's Snowboard Big Air at X Games Norway 2019 in August.

Women's Ski Big Air: Monster Energy's Giulia Tanno Ends Season with Second-Place Finish

When the action moved into the Women's Ski Big Air final on Saturday, all eyes were on Monster Energy's Giulia Tanno. But it was an uphill battle for the 21-year-old slopestyle and Big Air specialist: Struggling with a cold all week, Tanno skipped most practices on previous days and limited her attempts to feeling out the jump with straight airs and switch 180s.

Adding to the challenge, heavy rain blanketed the stadium in Atlanta for most of Saturday's qualifiers, creating difficult riding conditions. Nevertheless, Tanno persevered and qualified into the final in first place. In a field of the top six qualifying riders, Tanno revisited her rivalry with fellow Swiss freestylist Mathilde Germaud as the two went head-to-head on best trick attempts.

In front of a high-energy crowd that braved the inclement weather at SunTrust Park, Tanno opened her final performance by sending a technical left double cork 1080 safety grab over the massive snow jump for 88.25 points. On her second attempt, she stoked the audience by stomping a switch left 1080 tail grab – hitting the jump riding backwards – for 87.5 points. With a total score of 175.75 points, Tanno finished in second place, five points behind Germaud in first.

On the strength of today's podium finish, Monster Energy's Tanno now commands first place in the FIS Big Air World Cup standings with 240 points, ahead of Switzerland's Mathilde Gremaud at 200 points and Norway's Johanne Killi in third at 195 points. The final 2019/20 FIS Freeski World Cup Big Air competition will take place in Destne, Czech Republic from February 28-29, 2020, and will crown the season's Big Air champions.

Her current first place on the Big Air leaderboards caps off a spectacular season for Tanno. She graduated from Sportmittelschule Engelberg college in June 2019 and has devoted all her energy to freeski training since. And it shows: Only one week ago, Tanno took a podium spot at the world's biggest aerial spectacle in winter sports, the 2019 Air + Style Beijing FIS Snowboard World Cup, where she finished second. Read all the latest news.

In early November, Tanno also took second place in the FIS Women's Big Air season opener at Modena Skipass in Italy. In August, the Swiss snowboarding prodigy claimed a well-earned silver medal in Ski Big Air at X Games Norway. She now owns three X Games medals (two silver, one bronze) and counts as a favorite at the upcoming 2020 X Games Aspen in Colorado.

Big Air fans in the United States who missed the action in Atlanta this weekend can watch all podium runs on the official FIS Freeski YouTube channel and FIS Snowboarding YouTube channel.

Also look forward to catching the entire Monster Energy snow team at the world's biggest winter sports festival in only a few weeks from now: X Games Aspen will bring together elite athletes across ski, snowboard, snowmobile, and snow bike disciplines from January 23-26, 2020 at Buttermilk Mountain resort in Colorado.

RunSafe Security Raises $6.3 Million to Immunize Software

RunSafe Security, the pioneer of a patented process to immunize software without developer friction from cyber attacks, today announced the closing of a $6.3 million series A funding round led by Alsop Louie Partners, an early-stage, risk-oriented technology venture capital firm in San Francisco. New investors, Working Lab Capital, Inner Loop Capital and Renegade Ventures, also participated in the round. The investment brings RunSafe's total funding to $8.7 million and will help the company aggressively expand its sales and marketing efforts, as well as broaden and accelerate product development.

Inoculate All Types of Software in Any Environment

RunSafe's product Alkemist hardens software binaries using runtime application self-protection (RASP) and Moving Target Defense (MTD) methods to significantly reduce risk by precluding exploits from spreading across multiple devices and networks. Originally born out of a research project for the Advanced Research Projects Agency of the Department of Defense, Alkemist is the only automated tool to protect open source, in-house developed code, or third-party binaries, while leaving each system functionally identical, but logically unique.

"As 80% of security decisions in DevOps software teams are made by software developers and 75% of kill chains involve a step using a memory corruption vulnerability, RunSafe allows a massive reduction in attack surface with ease of deployment. This boost in cyber immunity fundamentally disrupts hacker economics and allows a reallocation of scarce cybersecurity resources overwhelmed with patching and related basic cyber hygiene efforts," said Joe Saunders, RunSafe Security's founder and CEO. "We founded RunSafe Security to disrupt hacker economics at the root cause in order to render cyber threats inert – and we are delighted with the widespread adoption of Alkemist across DevSecOps toolchains. My team and I are extremely gratified by the continued financial support of our initial investors in RunSafe Security and are thankful to our new investors for their support of our vision." Read latest news here.

RunSafe Security was a graduate of Virginia Center for Innovative Technology's Mach37 Cyber Accelerator Fall '17 cohort. Its initial customer base includes organizations across enterprise, suppliers and manufacturers, and national security industries. Additionally, RunSafe Security has consistently garnered third-party awards and recognition for its technology, including:

The Department of Homeland Security released its first update in eight years to the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) list of the 25 most dangerous software errors. The 2019 list identified a new top weakness: "Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer." This top weakness and many other memory based vulnerabilities is exactly the weakness in software code RunSafe Security addresses.

About RunSafe Security
RunSafe Security's mission is to immunize software without developer friction from cyber attacks, disrupting hacker economics. RunSafe's security techniques inoculate our customers' systems from an entire class of cyber attacks. Our customers integrate our product across build and deploy tools chains without developer friction protecting open source, in house code, and 3rd party binaries. Headquartered in McLean, Virginia, with an office in Huntsville, Alabama, RunSafe Security's customers span the enterprise, suppliers and manufacturers, and national security industries.
