The New Start Up Business
is Already Quite Popular with Fashion Lovers who Enjoy Having a Variety of
Watches

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 20, 2017 / The founders of WristSociety, a company that offers a subscription service that allows their customers to receive a stylish new watch every month, are pleased to announce that they just reached an impressive milestone: $1 million in revenue. As a recent article in The Huffington Post noted, WristSociety’s innovative subscription model has been quite popular, allowing the start up to reach the million dollar mark rather quickly.

To
read the recent article in The Huffington Post in its entirety and learn more
about WristSociety and what the founders feel helps to set their wristwatch
subscription service apart, please check out https://goo.gl/d6MXjX at any time.

As a customer spokesperson noted, monthly subscription based services have gained rapidly in popularity. People love the idea of receiving a customized product that they need or want delivered to their home on a regular basis. This knowledge inspired the founders of WristSociety to launch their start up and begin offering monthly watch deliveries to fashion lovers.

The company offers four plans: Monthly, Quarterly, Bi-Annually or Annually; over time, customers will amass a beautiful collection of eye-catching watches.

As for why anyone would want more than one watch, the spokesperson said many people—especially guys—want to have a wrist watch that complements their outfit.

“A new sweater, a pair of jeans, not even new shoes have the same effect as a new watch,” the spokesperson said.

“Wearing a watch can show how great your sense of style is, especially when you have the ability to make multiple watches work with any outfit. To put it simply — wearing different watches illustrates diversity. Diversity makes you interesting.”

In other words, the founders of WristSociety understand that a watch does much more than simply tell time—it also tells a story about who the wearer is.

WristSociety has become so successful so quickly, the founders are able to keep their subscription services at a very affordable price. They feel strongly that high quality and fashionable watches should be available to everyone, and the monthly subscription service allows them to do just that.

About WristSociety:

WristSociety is a subscription service that delivers a new wrist watch to customers’ homes every month. Depending on what type of watch subscription the customer has selected, they will either get a random watch selected by the WristSociety staff, or a watch and bracelet along with periodic voting privileges.

The Innovative New App will Allow People to Finally Break their Bad Online Habits, Without Limiting their Flexibility

ALTENBEKEN, GERMANY / ACCESSWIRE / March 20, 2017 / Martin Boeddeker, founder of the website and new productivity tool FindFocus, is pleased to announce the release of the first app and website blocker for Mac that will help people avoid a number of online distractions.

To learn more about the website and app blocker and its revolutionary features that will allow writers, students, authors and others who spend a great deal of time at their computers to boost their productivity, please check out http://findfocus.net at any time.

As Boeddeker knows quite well, a variety of online temptations like Facebook, YouTube and a number of fun and interesting apps can prevent well-intentioned people from getting their work done.

It is not uncommon for a journalist or student to tell themselves “I’ll just check my email for a minute or two” or “I will reply to one comment on Facebook and then start my writing.” While these people have every intention of getting to their work, before they know it, they have spent hours on social media, email and other websites and their projects are still unfinished.

This knowledge inspired Boeddeker to create the FindFocus app, which will allow users to do a number of things that will boost their productivity, including the ability to unlock a website like Facebook, or their local email client only after a delay of 5 minutes.

As Boeddeker noted, “delay discounting” is a mind trick suggested by behavioural scientists who have found that the longer a person has to wait for a reward – for example, checking the latest posts on Facebook – the less he or she will still want to do it.

“The good news is, even small delays can dramatically lower the perceived value of any temptation,” he said, adding that by delaying the ability to visit Facebook and other popular websites by a mere five minutes, people may lose their immediate desire to check out the sites and stay on task.

FindFocus also features a Pomodoro timer that will allow people to work at their computers for their most productive amounts of time before taking a break. The Pomodoro app lets people select options like 50 minutes of working followed by a 10 minute break, and will remind them to take the needed break.

In addition to the delay discounter and the ability to block websites on Mac, FindFocus also offers other “Focus Mode Protection” features, including a Focus Text option that requires people to enter a motivational quote or text before leaving the Focus Mode; or the Focus Text Hard-Core Mode which makes the person enter the motivational text without making a mistake.

Other features that will encourage people to stay on task include the Random Character Protection, Random Character Protection Hard-Core Mode and Fort Knox Mode, which Boeddeker said is for hard-core website and app addicts who find it especially hard to stay on task.

The FindFocus app currently offers a free version that allows people to test most of its features. Boeddeker is currently developing a version of the app for Windows that he hopes to release in April.

About FindFocus:

FindFocus is a website and distraction blocker for Mac created by Martin Boeddeker. The company aims to help people working online like authors, journalists, students or developers to stay away from distracting websites like YouTube, Facebook or Reddit and/or applications like local email clients and games with automated schedules and breaks that will “force them” to implement the productive habits they already know they should be doing but always fail to do on a regular basis.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK / ACCESSWIRE / March 20, 2017 / Medically Minded, Inc. (OTC PINK: MMHC) now named Medically Minded Holding Corp., announces that it has acquired 66 Oilfield Services, LLC, (66) an oil field services company with headquarters in Oklahoma City.

66 is the successor to a third generation heavy oil field equipment company founded by J.C. Houck in Oklahoma in 1959. 66 focuses on supplying the oil industry with custom drilling rigs, heavy-weight drill pipe, drill collars, pup joints, pony collars, handling tools, tubing, casing, blow-out preventers, engines, compressors and other select equipment to customers world-wide through facilities in Oklahoma City, Germany, and Dubai. Management of 66 has strong management and a proven technical and logistical track record of high value and performance.

James Frazier, President, has over 25 years of financial accounting and control experience as a former President and CFO with several publicly held domestic and international oil and gas companies on both the OTC and the TSX. Most recently, Mr. Frazier was with Continental Resources.

Donald Woods is VP and Chief Operating Officer with over 20 years of heavy oil field equipment and equipment service logistics companies.

Other officers and Directors included Joseph Wright as VP, Sales Manager and a Director, Mr. John Johnston, President of Johnston Mud & Chemical, is serving as an independent Director, and Mr. Glen Houck Sr., J.C. Houck’s son, is a Director. Both Mr. Wright and Mr. Johnston bring more than 25 years of oil field equipment and services sales knowledge and experience to the Company’s Board. J.C. Houck’s son, Mr. Glen Houck, Sr., is also the Director, and representative for the Houck Family Ventures, which are the majority shareholders of 66 the Company. Mr. Houck has been in the heavy oil field equipment industry for over 35 years and has developed quality long term relationships throughout the drilling industry. 66’s pipe yard is 40+ acres, holds in excess of $4MM of equipment and pipe inventory at any given time and employees 10+ inspectors and equipment specialist.

In addition to drill pipe and rig related equipment, 66 currently purchases and refurbishes custom rigs on a regular basis for resale through a joint venture with Oklahoma Rig Fabricators and Five Star Rig & Supply, both of Oklahoma City.

66 earned unaudited revenues of $5 million in 2015 and $3.9 million in 2016 with net income of $926,000 and $695,000, respectively.

Jim Frazier and his staff will continue to pursue the purchase of heavy-weight drill pipe, drill collars, custom rigs, and other select drilling equipment which are available at distressed prices due to the down turn in the oil industry. This equipment is considered a commodity and a quality collateral investment which can be held and resold for much higher prices in active periods. Mr. Frazier said that currently, there are a number of rigs and rig equipment which were ordered during the more active drilling periods that have not been accepted for delivery, not used, or not fully paid. This excess inventory needs to be quickly sold to free up needed cash for 66’s vendors and partners. This creates an opportunity to purchase new equipment on a limited basis well below market prices which 66 can resell at better prices throughout our world-wide network to the benefit of our shareholders. Becoming a publicly traded company will provide us better access to financial markets and capital to best execute our business plan. Mr. Frazier stated further, “We are in process of completing a financial audit and plan to file a Form 10 under the Securities Exchange Act as soon as possible.”

The Company did not issue additional securities in the transaction. The Company has utilized reissue of an outstanding 3,000,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock representing 80% of the Company’s equity. In connection with the acquisition of 66 described above, the Company will change its name to Sixty Six Oilfield Services, Inc. and a request will be made for a trading symbol to reflect the new name.

The Company engaged in a holding company formation in December 2016, in which its name was changed to Medically Minded Holding Corp.

The Company previously announced a planned acquisition of Skara Restaurants Holdings Inc. Skaras management has concluded that it is not appropriate for Skara to undertake becoming a publicly traded company in reverse merger with the Company at this time and has cancelled the planned acquisition.

COLUMBUS, OH / ACCESSWIRE / March 20, 2017 / BIBIBOP Development, LLC, owner of BIBIBOP Asian Grill chain of fast-casual restaurants, recently announced its national expansion plans for the Korean-inspired concept with the purchase of the locations formerly operated as ShopHouse restaurants and owned by Chipotle. The expansion will more than double the current number of BIBIBOP Asian Grill restaurants and includes locations slated for Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and Chicago. The new locations are scheduled to be converted and opened in coming months.

The first BIBIBOP Asian Grill restaurant began in Columbus, Ohio, in August 2013 as the brainchild of Charley Shin, CEO of BIBIBOP Asian Grill and international restaurant concept Charleys Philly Steaks. After successfully launching the Charleys Philly Steaks franchise and opening hundreds of locations around the world, he returned to his Korean roots and was inspired to bring the bold flavors and healthy ingredients of his native South Korea to his American hometown.

Offering healthy meals that put a fresh twist on the popular Korean dish “bibimbap,” literally meaning “mixed rice,” each BIBIBOP starts with perfectly steamed rice, followed by a choice of grilled meats or tofu, a variety of fresh vegetables and Asian-inspired sauces. The new concept caught on fast with the company opening three more locations in 2014, eventually expanding to 12 total locations across the State of Ohio by 2016. The company also has plans on the horizon to open its first Cleveland location later this year.

“The BIBIBOP Asian Grill concept has performed very well with consumers, as demonstrated by our steady growth through the years, and we’re excited to bring our fresh dining experience to more guests across the country,” said Shin. “As we’ve expanded, we’ve never lost sight of our commitment to bring our signature WELL-B-ING to all of the communities in which we do business by strengthening our neighbors and enriching the lives of our team members.”

About BIBIBOP Asian Grill

BIBIBOP Asian Grill is a fast-casual restaurant focused on promoting “WELL B•ING” through healthy, delicious food. Offering a fresh spin on the traditional Korean dish bibimbap, meaning “mixed rice,” each customer is invited to build his or her perfect BIBIBOP from a unique mix of rice, fresh vegetables, Asian-inspired sauces and quality proteins. Founded in 2013, the company has grown to 12 locations in Ohio. BIBIBOP is a subsidiary of Gosh Enterprises Inc., the Columbus, OH-based owners of Charleys Philly Steaks.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / March 20, 2017 / Bill Lerner, President and CEO of iPark, was proud to announce that he will continue to vigorously expand the philanthropic efforts of his global shoe-giving charity, Billy4Kids, throughout the course of 2017. In addition to revealing a multifaceted plan to increase funding, reach more developing regions, and boost national awareness of Billy4Kids, Lerner reported an ambitious goal of providing 5,000 children with safe and comfortable footwear by the end of the year.

One of New York’s leading philanthropists for the past twenty years, Bill Lerner became inspired to found Billy4Kids in 2013, when he discovered an article detailing youth around the world suffering from life threatening diseases caused by parasitic infections. Upon further research, he learned that these children were most often in hard to reach, tropical regions, and that the majority of their ailments could be avoided if they were given access to reliable footwear. Later that year, Lerner co-founded Billy4Kids with the mission “to provide the basic needs of children all over the world in the form of shoes in order to foster a safer environment for them to live and play.” Relying on donations from people around the country, each week the foundation ships shoes to remote, impoverished townships throughout Ghana, Haiti and Brazil. In the near future, Lerner plans to further expand the number of countries his charity is able to reach.

To date, Billy4Kids has supplied over 3,000 children with a pair of adequate, reliable shoes, preventing thousands of possible parasitic infections. The foundation also pioneers support projects in the countries it serves, including Basketball to Uplift the Youth of Haiti. Emphasizing the importance of assisting the underprivileged who are unable to do so themselves, Lerner stressed that every contribution, no matter the size, form, or amount, plays an essential role in achieving the charity’s mission of building a safer world for these children. Anyone who wishes to donate can do so at collection areas located in schools, apartment buildings, supermarkets, and every iPark parking facility, as well as through the official Billy4Kids website, where there are further options to become involved by sponsoring a child, school, or becoming a volunteer.

Bill Lerner is a business owner and philanthropist best known for his achievements as the President of iPark, New York’s largest privately owned parking garage operator. Founded more than 60 years ago by his father as a single lot known as Imperial Parking Systems, Lerner took over as CEO in 1997 and aggressively expanded the business through the acquisition of highly sought after properties throughout Manhattan. Now with nearly 150 user-friendly facilities and partnerships with Tesla Motors and CarCharging, iPark is leading the parking industry’s technological evolution. As the co-founder of Billy4Kids, Lerner’s efforts have earned him the prestigious Humanitarian Award at the annual Edeyo Gives Hope Gala, and recognition from St. Mary’s Healthcare System for Children for three consecutive years.
