“We are delighted to finally be hosting a virtual event, to support our in-person conferences,” stated Chris Lahiji, President of LD Micro. “There are a great number of people and companies who are unable to come to our live events, due to a multitude of reasons (mostly related to having kids), so we are happy to offer an additional outlet where companies can present to investors without taking a lot of time out of their day-to-day operations. While virtual events will never supplant the experience of sitting in the same room as someone or eating artery-clogging pastries at 3 PM, it is a great format for updating the investor community and getting increased exposure.”

The conference will be held via webcast and will feature over 60 companies in the small / micro-cap space.

DETROIT, MI / ACCESSWIRE / February 27, 2018 / Groundbreaking digital cash movement Pura Cryptocurrency is excited to announce a partnership with Titanium Blockchain, a leading tech firm that specializes in next generation Internet infrastructure and blockchain services. The union will allow Pura, one of the fastest growing virtual currencies in the world, to meet their rapidly increasing technology demands as they near global mass adoption.

The world’s first socially and environmentally conscious form of virtual funds, Pura Cryptocurrency is leading the campaign for the responsible decentralization of currency. The currency was founded with Latin American emerging markets in mind, where the switch to non-deflationary currencies are driven by factors like storing the value of one’s life savings, or the need for citizens working or studying abroad to send funds back to their home countries. In essence, Pura’s primary focus is on regions where crypto adoption is fueled by basic, urgent needs where they can make a direct and immediate social impact.

Titanium Blockchain is fulfilling a mission to empower consumers by implementing groundbreaking technology that is fundamentally changing the Internet landscape to make it more efficient and secure. Titanium’s system exists on the Ethereum blockchain, which has over 200,000 nodes (a communication point in a data network), and is completely decentralized, meaning it can hold information in a much more safe, organized and affordable manner than traditional means. In addition, isolated issues do not lead to major data outages, as there are still many nodes operating at full capacity. Led by CEO Michael Stollaire, who has extensive industry knowledge as the founder of IT solutions firm EHI, the Titanium team features a collective 200-plus years of experience in areas including security, technology, marketing, development and more. Pura is thrilled to have complete access to Titanium Blockchain’s robust suite of services, ranging from network hardware creation to an instant Initial Coin Offering (ICO) incubator that provides comprehensive needs for the launch token sales.

Pura Cryptocurrency is an international digital currency that liberates users to transact with anyone in the world directly, privately and instantly, making lives more affordable by removing the expense or need for a middle man in the form of a bank or payment provider. Powered by the blockchain, transactions are stored permanently and backed up across hundreds of servers worldwide while financial data, activity history and balance information is kept completely confidential. The currency is not controlled by any central government or banking authority, opting to allow masternode holders and users themselves to determine how the currency evolves and the impact it has on the world through a global democratic governance process, or “DAO.” As a dedicated leader of responsible decentralized living, ten percent of all PURA created is automatically contributed to PURA Planet, a treasury that works in conjunction with PuraMission to fund and track sustainable, environmental and social projects around the globe.

Device Uses UV-C LED Light Sterilizing Technology to Kill 99.9% of Harmful Bacteria from Skin that Clings to Brushes to Help Improve Skin’s Overall Health

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 27, 2018 / The key to feeling great and looking great is taking care of ourselves from the inside out. This includes moving our bodies with daily exercise, fueling our bodies with the right foods and paying attention to what we put on our bodies so we can live a healthy lifestyle.

Experts recommend having a daily skin care routine, including the use of sunscreen. We also need to take a careful look at what touches our skin each day, including all our makeup brushes. Without consistent cleaning, dirt and bacteria quickly build upon these tools, which can lead to skin irritation and breakouts. Now Brushean, a new company, is launching the first smart makeup brush sanitizer to keep makeup brushes bacteria- and germ-free in just a simple automatic five-minute process you can do every day. The sanitizing technology plus built-in dust cover keep the make-brushes fresh and ready to go.

“Skin safety should be a top priority when it comes to our overall health. Dermatologists recommend cleaning our makeup brushes every day, but who has time for that when you are rushing out the door? But using dirty and germy makeup brushes really can make a mess of your skin, even causing flare-ups of acne,” said Christina Pou, Brushean CEO. “That’s why we created Brushean. We take the cleaning off your to-do list and keep your brushes in a safe and clean environment. You can feel confident knowing the tools that touch your face each day are sterilized and ready to perform at their best.”

Brushean’s patent-pending design features UV-C LED sterilization technology kills 99.9% of all bacteria, germs, and viruses which collect on the brushes. Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is a disinfection method that uses short-wavelength ultraviolet (UV-C) light to kill or inactivate microorganisms by destroying nucleic acids and disrupting their DNA, leaving them unable to perform vital cellular functions.

“We surveyed a group of women about their makeup brush use and found that more than 80% of women don’t wash their brushes after every use. It’s not surprising. The truth is we just don’t have the time for it,” continued Pou. “But that means dirt, oil, and germs are building up on your brushes and may cause skin problems down the road. Brushean makes it simple to keep those brushes nice and clean so you can look your best.”

Here’s how Brushean works:

The device can UV sterilize up to 15 to 20 makeup brushes at a time
UV-C Wavelength kills 99.9% effective bacteria and viruses
Includes an easy-to-use hydraulic lift function and dust cover to help store brushes in a dust-free environment
Preloaded with 5-minute cleaning timer
Runs on rechargeable batteries
Patent pending

Starting February 27, the company is launching a Kickstarter campaign to bring this innovative device to consumers around the world. Early bird pricing starts at $49. For more information or to join the campaign, click here.

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 27, 2018 / According to a recent report from the state Department of Housing and Community Development, a large majority of California’s urban areas, such as Los Angeles, aren’t giving approval for the construction of sufficient housing.

As a result of this situation, state housing authorities are now requiring that cities ease the process for developers to get approval for new construction projects that include affordable housing units.

During the last forty years, California’s municipalities had the responsibility of setting housing goals every five to eight years as a way of making sure that enough new homes are built to meet the demands of a growing population. Unfortunately, according to the state’s recent report, very few cities are meeting the goals they’ve set.

So far, it has been determined that only 13 cities have made a sufficient amount of progress toward meeting their housing construction targets for 2017. 526 other cities haven’t and will now be required to fast track the approval of some new housing development projects.

Under a new law which took effect at the beginning of 2018, cities must speed up the review of developments made up of at least ten percent affordable housing units if they’ve failed to meet their objectives for market rate housing. Municipalities that met their targets for market rate housing but haven’t met the requirements for new affordable housing units will nee to streamline the review of projects in which at least half the housing units are affordable to low-income residents.

While Los Angeles is expected to meet its overall new housing construction objective by issuing permits for nearly 82,000 new homes by 2021, the city hasn’t met its goals when it comes to the construction of enough affordable housing units. Out of 45,820 new units the city has issued permits for since 2014, less than ten percent are classified as affordable to low-income residents.

As the city is very much behind schedule with regards to new affordable housing, planners must now streamline the approval of projects which include 50 percent or more affordable housing units. Some other cities in California, including Burbank, Long Beach and Santa Monica, will need to fast track development projects with ten percent or more affordable units.

The lack of affordable housing in the city of Los Angeles has been an ongoing problem for several years. A recent report by the California Housing Partnership Corporation estimates that the city now requires the construction of over 500,000 new affordable housing units in order to meet the current level of demand.

Launching NMS Properties in 1988, Neil Shekhter assumed the role of CEO in January 1995. The real estate management company focuses on multi-family and mixed-use properties in the Greater Los Angeles area and in Santa Monica. At present, NMS properties manages more than 70 properties.

Over the course of 2017, NMS deployed 40 furnished units in Los Angeles, and Neil Shekhter plans to triple that number in 2018. The company currently manages some of the its properties while testing a pilot with MY SUITE.

SAN JOSE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 27, 2018 / Marketing has always been a critical ingredient for business success but also a persistent challenge for brands. Crafting comprehensive, effective, and measurable campaigns has only grown in complexity due to technological advances, which have, in turn, spawned new communication channels, altered consumer behaviors, and brought new marketing concepts into existence. While the factors determining success vary across industries, it has become evident that technology must underpin all marketing efforts if a brand is to stay relevant in the digital age, as noted by entrepreneur and technology consulting expert Sri Aiyaswamy. Nearly every survey in the industry arrives at this conclusion, with participants invariably placing Big Data, artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), machine learning, and interactive content at the top of their priorities list. At the same time, brands have to appeal to consumers who are mobile-focused, social media-enamored, and experience-fixated.

Big Data and AI are undoubtedly among the most important developments in recent decades, with their impact now also keenly felt in marketing. A recent study conducted by Smart Insights showed marketers placing Big Data at number two when asked to select the single trend that will have the most notable commercial effect on operations in 2018, either theirs or their clients’. Right behind it came AI and machine learning, which are also seen as facilitators of Big Data adoption by small and medium-sized enterprises. These technologies have come to be regarded as critical for promoting engagement as they allow brands to target the right audience and personalize their marketing message while deploying innovative tools such as live chatbots. Moreover, AI and machine learning are the pillars of automation, which is arguably one of the dominant trends in virtually every industry.

While traditional advertising is nowhere near becoming extinct, the truth is that marketing campaigns nowadays revolve around digital platforms, Sri Aiyaswamy says. The explosion in mobile and social media use has forced brands to adapt to a reality governed by new rules. Relevant and high-quality content remains at the core of successful marketing, but it now has to conform to different tenets: social media has prompted a rethink of ad formats and overall strategies. In order to register with users and hold their attention in an over-saturated environment, marketers are turning to interactive, user-generated, or voice-optimized content, as well as influencer networks and individual communication.

An entrepreneur with a passion for sales and marketing, Sri Aiyaswamy holds an MS degree in Computer Science and has dedicated more than 20 years to developing her expertise in IT management and business consulting. Starting in 2000, she has been serving as VP of Client Services at Strataserv, a California-based company specializing in enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions.

DIEBURG and MUNICH, GERMANY / ACCESSWIRE / February 27, 2018 / AMSilk GmbH, the world’s first industrial supplier of synthetic silk biopolymers for medical devices, is partnering with POLYTECH Health & Aesthetics GmbH, the leading manufacturer of soft-tissue silicone implants, to begin the clinical study POSIS, the first-in-human clinical safety testing of silk-coated silicone SILKline® breast implants in Europe. The study, which started with several patients in the first week at a number of medical universities in Austria, may be extended to further European countries for comprehensive testing.

POLYTECH’s silicone breast implants have been available to international customers for many decades, and demand has recently reached an all-time high, with the company selling over 200.000 silicone implants in 2016. As part of POLYTECH’s quality control system, all implants are produced under stringent quality guidelines and fulfill maximum safety requirements. To ensure consistent quality, the implants are produced manually and are checked after each production step according to the highest standards.

The partnership with AMSilk GmbH marks the first time that bioengineered silk will be inside the human body. AMSilk’s unique silk coating forms a thin and flexible physical protein interface between the silicone surface of POLYTECH’s implant and the surrounding tissue. The body recognizes the physical protein interface as a natural surface, leading to a much better biocompatibility. In preclinical studies, SILKline® silk-coated silicone breast implants resulted in superior tolerability. Therefore, it is expected that minor postoperative complications and minimization of sometimes painful side effects that accompany traditional implants (e.g. capsular fibrosis) will occur.

“With the new SILKline® implants, POLYTECH plans to further increase the safety and tolerability standards of our products,” said Wolfgang Steimel, CEO of POLYTECH. “Working with AMSilk enables us to provide our customers the newest and best technology available to support patients’ well-being and satisfaction, combined with the objective to reduce complications with real innovative technology.”

Jens Klein, CEO of AMSilk, added, “Through our multi-year partnership with the experts at POLYTECH, we’ve created a new and groundbreaking product for the medical devices market. The SILKline® implants are the first product providing our silk coating in the medical device sector – but other products utilizing the extraordinary biocompatibility of our silk coatings will soon follow.”

About POLYTECH

POLYTECH Health & Aesthetics was founded in 1986 in Dieburg (Hessen). Today, the company is an international market leader regarding implant advancement and manufacturing. POLYTECH’s portfolio of superior medical devices includes more than 2,000 variations of breast implants for women, soft-tissue implants for men as well as calf and gluteus implants. This range is complemented by custom-made implants, tissue expanders, compression bras and scar-therapy products. More than 230 employees in the units of development, manufacturing, quality control, sales and marketing ensure that POLYTECH remains the number one regarding implant quality and safety made in Germany.
