NeuroPsychiatric Hospital Announces Opening in Phoenix

Neurological hospital opens medical center to help patients with complex medical and neurological conditions.

BREMEN, IN / ACCESSWIRE / January 27, 2020 / NeuroPsychiatric Hospitals, LLC ("NPH") is pleased to announce the development of a new location opening in Phoenix, Arizona to be opened in late Spring 2020. The hospital will serve patients with complex medical and neuropsychiatric conditions in the greater Phoenix area.

"I'm thrilled that we are expanding our medical and neuropsychiatric services to the Phoenix area," said NPH's Founder and Chairman, Cameron Gilbert, Ph.D. "We take pride in focusing on the health and clinical needs of our patients. We look forward to serving the people of Phoenix, especially those suffering with complex psychiatric and medical/neurological conditions."

NeuroPsychiatric Hospitals are a system of hospitals that specialize in the treatment of patients who have serious acute psychiatric events combined with medical and/or neurological disorders such as a mood disorder with uncontrolled diabetes and/or Autism. NeuroPsychiatric Hospitals are the intersection of psychiatry and internal medicine and have been serving patients for over 13 years.

Medical Director Kashif Janjua, MD stated that "our patients typically come from emergency departments requiring psychiatric treatment by a complete behavioral team, psychiatry, and full-time internal medicine. Our patients typically cannot be treated in community acute care hospitals due to such issues of psychosis and dangerousness to self and others. Nor can they be treated in most behavioral hospitals due to acute medical needs such as wound management, diabetes, autism, dementia, cardiovascular illnesses and more".

U.S. National Comorbidity Survey

"Our unique patients require full-time treatment from both medical specialties and belong to an excessively growing population of patients with little or no treatment options," said Dr. Cameron Gilbert. "Their diseases are not isolated to any class of individuals and equally affect the lives of any societal group of patients and families. At NPH, we take great care and consideration for the overlap of medications and symptoms for those suffering from multiple psychiatric disorders and medical issues. "

NPH plans to expand throughout the U.S. to provide state-of-the-art patient care for individuals suffering from complex medical and behavioral conditions.

About NeuroPsychiatric Hospitals

Spencer Shaver Denver Shares 4 Motivation Tips for Small Business Owners

DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / January 27, 2020 / Running a small business is no easy venture. While you'll surely experience excitement and pride during high periods, it can be challenging to get through the lows. Spencer Shaver Denver is a small business consultant and executive producer at Skyward Artists Group. He has worked with over 100 small businesses from coast to coast, helping with marketing, HR, product promotion, staffing, and motivation. Here, he shares four tips to stay motivated through thick and thin.

4 Ways for Small Business Owners to Stay Motivated

1. Take a Break

For many small business owners, the notion of taking a break sounds nice but unrealistic. The idea of taking a vacation may seem ludicrous. However, Spencer Shaver Denver says taking a break now and again is essential to avoid burnout and maintain work/life balance. If you don't take occasional breaks throughout the day and the year, you're likely to become stressed and exhausted. Likewise, be sure to get enough sleep as a lack of sleep can result in increased stress and inability to concentrate, both negatives for you and your business.

2. Collaborate

A small business owner is like the coach of a sports team. You're only as successful as your team, and your team is likely to perform better if they are motivated and inspired. Likewise, they can inspire and motivate you as well. Collaborate and communicate with staff and colleagues. Brainstorm ideas to solve problems creatively, encourage one another in positive times and offer support in the challenging periods. Having a strong support network is crucial to staying the course as an entrepreneur.

3. Set Goals & Stick to Them

As a business owner, you know the importance of setting goals to achieve success. However, setting and sticking to goals is also important to stay motivated. When you have your sights set on something, you have a reason to continue. And when you achieve that goal, the sense of accomplishment you feel will fuel your fire to conquer the next objective. Determine the goals you want to achieve in the short and long-term and establish an action plan for achieving them.

4. Adopt a Positive Mindset

When you're feeling burnt out or overwhelmed by stress, it can be difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Adopting a positive mindset before this happens is ideal, but you can change your mindset from a negative to a positive one as well. Mindfulness tactics, such as recognizing what you can and can't control, and focusing on the former, can help you to approach each workday with positive energy. Practicing meditation or repeating positive affirmations may also help.

More on Spencer Shaver Denver

Spencer Shaver's resume is peppered with a range of impressive titles from business consultancy and entrepreneurship to philanthropy and filmography. Behind everything he does is his steadfast faith, inspiring him constantly to create in His name.

Since becoming a martial arts instructor in 1995, Spencer Shaver Denver's fighting spirit has given him the drive needed to succeed in all of his professional ventures. He looks forward to creating more meaningful work, from documentary films to business plans, while helping other creators and businesspeople explore opportunities, follow their dreams, and achieve their goals.

PTLA INVESTOR ALERT: Bernstein Liebhard Encourages Investors With Losses in Portola Pharmaceuticals Inc. to Contact the Firm and Reminds Them of an Important Filing Deadline

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / January 27, 2020 /  Bernstein Liebhard, a nationally acclaimed investor rights law firm, reminds investors of the deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in a securities class action that has been filed on behalf of investors that purchased or acquired the securities of Portola Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Portola" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:PTLA) between November 5, 2019 and January 9, 2020, inclusive (the "Class Period"). The lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

If you purchased Portola securities, and/or would like to discuss your legal rights and options please visit Portola Shareholder Class Action or contact Matthew E. Guarnero toll free at (877) 779-1414 or MGuarnero@bernlieb.com.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that Portola's internal control over financial reporting regarding reserve for product returns was not effective; (2) that Portola was shipping longer-dated product with 36-month shelf life; (3) that Portola had not established adequate reserve for returns of prior shipments of short-dated product; (4) that, as a result, Portola was reasonably likely to need to catch up on accounting for return reserves; and (5) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On January 9, 2020, Portola announced preliminary net revenues of only $28 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. Portola attributed the result to a $5 million reserve adjustment for short-dated product and flat quarter-over-quarter demand.

On this news, the Company's share price fell $9.98, or approximately 40% to close at $14.76 per share on January 10, 2020, on unusually heavy trading volume.

If you purchased Portola securities, and/or would like to discuss your legal rights and options please visit https://www.bernlieb.com/cases/portolapharmaceuticalsinc-ptla-shareholder-class-action-lawsuit-stock-fraud-239/apply/ contact Matthew E.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than March 16, 2020. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as lead plaintiff.

Harbortouch Lists Top 7 Food Truck POS System Benefits

ALLENTOWN, PA / ACCESSWIRE / January 27, 2020 / The food truck business is booming. As of 2017, research firm Technomic reported food truck sales were increasing by about 15% a year, compared with about 5% for casual dining. Whether you're an entrepreneur looking to start their foodservice venture or an established restaurateur in search of a new opportunity, now is the time to get in on the food truck biz.

However, before you can start serving the masses, it's important to make sure your truck is equipped with all the necessities, including a Point of Sale (POS) system that can meet the demands of this unique fast-casual dining experience. Harbortouch, the United States' leading provider of POS software and hardware, lists seven must-have features to look for when selecting a food truck POS system.

7 Must-Have POS System Features for Food Trucks

1. A Small Footprint and Ease of Use

One of the great things about a food truck is its versatility and mobility. However, along with a mobile venue comes interior space limitations. This means you'll need a compact POS system that doesn't take up valuable space. Similarly, choose a system that's easy to use (and easy to learn for new employees). This will save you time on training seasonal or per-event staff and day-to-day operations.

2. Reports & Analytics

For any restaurant owner, real-time reports and analytics are crucial to make sure you're on top of things. POS software should not just give you sales summaries, but also detailed reports such as inventory reports, labor reports, customer reports, and product reports. These can tell you valuable information about what items are low in stock, what's selling well and what's not. This data can help you make informed decisions about what to sell, how much to buy of what items, and more. Additionally, POS reports should also tell you when your food truck is the busiest so you can staff accordingly.

3. Customer Loyalty Program

Harbortouch recommends all businesses have a customer loyalty program as these can increase repeat diners and your profits. Many food trucks drive interest through social media. A customer loyalty program can complement your social media efforts and encourage customers to dine and share their experience with others.

4. Always-On Mode

With a food truck, you might not always be working in locations with a reliable internet connection. Cloud-based POS systems typically rely on a strong internet connection to operate, so you should look for a local-based or hybrid-cloud option to avoid any disruptions to your business.

5. Adaptability

One of the best things about a food truck is its flexibility. You can serve your cuisine just about anywhere, anytime. You'll need a POS system that's similarly adaptable. Choose one that enables you to make menu adjustments easily to accommodate stock or venue changes. You'll also want to be able to adjust the sales tax in case you move from one jurisdiction to another. Furthermore, make sure you can easily change menu prices. Keep in mind you'll pay much more for a spot at a hot NYC or LA festival than you would for a small community block party, and your menu prices should reflect that to ensure you make money, not lose it.

6. Online Ordering

Fast-casual restaurants should always have online ordering features, but it's particularly useful for food trucks that are revered for their convenient eats. Letting customers order online is also good for you and your staff, as it makes wait times shorter while letting you plan and prepare ahead. The POS system should integrate with an online ordering platform like DoorDash to make this process as seamless as possible.

7. Mobile Payments

Self-service kiosks and mobile payments are other great ways to enhance the customer experience while increasing service speed. Mobile payments allow customers to pay with new technologies such as Apple Pay or Android Pay using their mobile device. Some customers, particularly at large events such as festivals, prefer this as they may not want to carry cash or cards.

More About Harbortouch

In over 20 years of business, Harbortouch has served more than 300,000 small to mid-size businesses, providing first-class POS software and state-of-the-art POS hardware and earning numerous stellar Harbortouch reviews from satisfied customers. From secure payment processing to cloud-based reporting and management tools, Harbortouch's model makes its products affordable for any budget. Harbortouch's ground-breaking free equipment program is regularly featured on the hit TV show Bar Rescue. The program offers merchants custom programming, quality expert installation, and unparalleled customer support with no up-front costs.

Ravi Mallela: From Medical School to Dream Job Selling Exotic Automobiles

MANHATTAN, NY / ACCESSWIRE / January 27, 2020 / Ravi Mallela isn't your typical car salesman. Ravi studied Psychology and Sociology at Rutgers University and then attended medical school for 2 years at St. George's University School of Medicine. While studying for his board exams, Ravi Mallela got into the car business just to have some extra spending money. Unexpectedly, selling cars came very naturally to Ravi and he started to really love the process – and within a few months, he was offered a position selling Mercedes-Benz.

Early in Ravi Mallela's career, he mapped out over a thousand physician practices in geographic proximity to both his home and work. Ravi then presented lease programs to those physicians, effectively taking the pharmaceutical sales model and applying it to the car business. Ravi's career progressed profoundly as a result, as he worked for high volume dealers in New Jersey before receiving an offer from the corporately owned flagship of the United States, Mercedes-Benz Manhattan. Ravi has attained the highest level of certification from Mercedes-Benz USA and is Master Certified. He was also an AMG Product Specialist, and "put his money where his mouth is" and has owned 4 AMG models to date – most recently a Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG.

After over a decade of tenure selling Mercedes-Benz, Ravi Mallela was offered a position with Manhattan Motorcars in New York City as their Sales Executive and was given the scope and ability to sell any and all cars within their exclusive portfolio. Manhattan Motorcars is one of the most prestigious dealers in the United States, if not the world – catering to captains of industry, politicians, movie stars, sports athletes, and musicians. Brands that Ravi sells within the Manhattan Motorcars factory authorized portfolio are: Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Porsche, Koenigsegg, Lotus, Rimac, Glickenhaus, SSC, and BAC.

In addition, Ravi Mallela has built up a prolific Instagram following on his IG page @the.car.czar – almost 30,000 followers! Ravi features exotic supercars/hypercars and ultra-luxury vehicles along with some shots of special watches that he owns and some random pictures of family and friends. Each and every picture on Ravi's IG page was taken by him – with absolutely no screenshots, as many other Instagram pages have. Automotive photography is one of his hobbies, along with billiards – specifically playing 9-ball. Ravi also loves to cook authentic South Indian food, and boasts that he can cook almost as good as any Telugu aunty out there!

But cars have always been Ravi's passion, ever since he was a young boy. Much of what Ravi studied in school was merely for a grade and to make his parents proud; being raised in a South Indian family of physicians. Ravi's late father was a physician and his mother is a retired registered nurse, and his younger sister is a physician – many of his cousins are physicians, as well – you can almost say that he was being bred to be one. One of Ravi Mallela's mottos is: "God is my Provider", and says he is extremely blessed by God to be in a business that he's passionate about – as most people don't have that privilege. Ravi Mallela just really loves cars and absolutely loves selling them – a true "car guy", pure and simple…

ASTORIA, NY / ACCESSWIRE / January 27, 2020 / Fresh & Co. is a New York-based restaurant and meal delivery service with a farm-to-table philosophy and community mindset. The family-owned company, with more than 50 locations in New York City and Westchester, New York, recently awarded National Floors Direct, one of the East Coast's largest flooring providers, an exclusive contract to install and maintain all Fresh & Co. locations, including Fresh & Co., Cafe Metro, Create Ditmars, Kyma in Hudson Yards, Kyma Flatiron, and Elea Upper West Side.

The company has its own farm on Long Island and partners with local farmers to bring fresh, hyper-local and seasonal produce to the people in their restaurants and cafes and through their home delivery service. Since its inception in 2010, Fresh & Co. has become one of New York's biggest and most beloved food service providers.

Similarly, National Floors Direct, a direct-to-consumer carpet and flooring specialty service, "Brings the Store to Your Door." The team offers white-glove service and visits clients' homes or businesses with samples from their extensive catalog packed with products from the world's leading brands. Guaranteeing the lowest price in the industry by 15% or more, National Floors Direct cuts out the middle man by connecting consumers with high-quality products straight from the supplier. They also go the extra mile to provide prompt installation and ongoing customer care.

National Floors Direct works with residential and commercial clients and has been involved in several other major New York City projects, including restoring the flooring at Canal Street Market in SoHo. National Floors Direct also won a contract with the esteemed New York City developer HCRE to be the exclusive floor-covering provider for all of HCRE's NYC buildings. This includes prime locations in SoHo, Chinatown, and LES, as well as Flushing, Queens, where HCRE is currently developing a 300,000 square-foot space.
