HONG KONG, CHINA / ACCESSWIRE / August 11, 2020 / On August 7th 2020, "Grand Bay· The Week of International Blockchain" co-hosted by Cointelegraph China and Cointelegraph was solemnly held with "One World, One Vision, One Dream" as its vision, focusing on the hotspots of blockchain around the world and aiming to build bridge among the international blockchain industry.

XnMatrix's Chairman Mr. Wu Wenjie was invited to the conference and delivered the keynote speech on "XnMatrix the Decentralized Cloud Computing Platform and Ecosystem"

The Upcoming Decentralized Data Computing Era

By 2020, the data from all over the world is not exactly storing on the centralized server, like Ali Cloud, Amazon Cloud and Google Cloud, which means the time of decentralized computing is coming. The decentralized storage represented by IPFS will expand the traditional centralized storage market. We are optimistic about IPFS and are going to develop Decentralized market. RRMine, XnMatrix's Eco-partner, is ranked among the top places, according to the Filecoin Test, in the fields of mining machine, mine filed, technical investment and IPFS computing power eco-system globalization after multi-round of tests.

Three Challenges for Mass Data

Cost

The data storage volume of the world is around 3*ZB which is as much as 300*P. As data doubles each year, if the cost cannot be lowered, it would be a challenge to keep all our data, and the development of the world will be severely hampered. The storage volume of the world will be 100,000 times as much as that of IPFS network, a huge market space. Miners have invested approximately 5-10 billion capital in the IPFS market, the challenge of the storage cost is the driving force for the occurrence and success of the IPFS.

Data Privacy and Security

Data security is a global problem while IPFS a great solution to it. A part of commercial data will store up on the centralized storage while the personal and private data will be kept on a more open and more secure storage–the decentralized data storage.

The liquidity of Data Asset

Data is the future gold, blood and petroleum. Data interaction will generate value, the users' data of all the network companies will go through second liquidation. For instance, we see an article, the relevant ads will pop out everywhere. Today's headlines is doing a great job on this point. Technically, the so-called big data engine is taking advantage of the data without the consents of the users. So the data itself is a kind of asset, and asset liquidates.

Centralization has its advantages in this world, so has decentralization its logics. As the occurrences of the new production factors, such as IPFS, BTC, ETH, the new terminals come up as well, including the robots of next-generation whose data collection, storage, interactive capabilities are 10 times as much as the data sampling capability of the mobile phone. The storage, utility, interaction, liquidation of these data will overturn the present situation and can make difference to the world. The new platform and system will be coming up as well.

Therefore, the decentralized world is the a world of computing, a world of storage, and world is coming.

Intelligent Civilization, Digitalizing Humankind

The defined digital civilization is a diversified computing power. After the year of 2015, the development of AI has been making changes to the whole computing. From Moore's law to AI, awareness computing, cognition computing, sport intellect, intelligent hardware is everywhere. Endless data take part in computing, a QR code can record all the places you have been.

So, including IPFS decentralized storage, decentralized finance, the mining machines, storage, robotic hardware, we can see that this world is taken place and deconstructed by AI. This the future of the intelligent civilization. Each person is being digitalized. In the digital time, storage and computing matter the most. This is the greatness of IPFS. We hope, by virtue of XnMatrix platform, to integrate these great computing power, and platform together so as to benefit more people.

When there is the sun, there is the moon; when there is darkness, there is brightness; when there is federal system, there is centralization system; therefore, the centralization and decentralization well co-exist in the future. We have Ali Cloud, Google, Amazon in the centralized world that construct the foundation of WEB2.0

The decentralized computing and storage will be the footstone for the new civilization of human AI

The market of decentralized cloud computing has exceeded 10billion USD in 2019, and it is expected to exceed 15billion USD this year. BTC has made changes to the underlying credit which is also the underlying system of the finance credit, ETH intelligent contract has altered the upper financing service. Next, more applications be put in use. This is where IPFS comes up, the decentralized storage and decentralized computing will co-construct the foundation of the next web. With boinc as the representation of decentralized computing, decentralized storage amounts to IPFS plus Filecoin, they are the core foundation of the whole future social digitalized operation.

Apart from the underlying infrastructure, there are upper applications. The future App store will no longer be App store or the Google App store, instead, the store featured with computing and AI interaction will be taking place which is a store only for the computing interaction. On top of the applications, there will be practical applications like IPFS computing power, Defi service, and robots. The Logic of date storage, interaction, privacy security will be reconstructed based on decentralized computing.

The time of AI is coming, computing power will become energy and storage the soil. All the eco-systems will establish a brand new digital civilized forest. XnMatrix builds a global decentralized cloud computing platform to embrace the challenges in the time of AI and big data by security and trust.

LEAWOOD, KN / ACCESSWIRE / August 11, 2020 / ​Retiree Inc. will be launching the redesigned and updated version of Income Solver retirement planning software on Aug. 17, 2020. CEO William Meyer says, "From our latest published research, combined with years of feedback from financial advisors, we're proud to announce Income Solver updates including improved analytics, redesigned workflow for ease of use, and new features and outputs to streamline advisors' challenge of combining investment advice with distribution planning." The Income Solver 2.0 presents the concept of Advisor Alpha that empowers advisors to demonstrate the value they provide to clients and prospects through better retirement income planning with an easy-to-understand assessment.

Income Solver recently won the 2019 Innovation award by Investment News for Retirement Solutions and decided to continue to roll out enhancements based on feedback from leading financial advisors. The complete redesign with the newest technologies offers a smoother workflow and pleasing visuals. A few of the newly enhanced features created from user recommendations include a Current Year action plan, consolidated Withdrawal and Roth Conversion Schedules, increased ability to control and edit trades recommendations, and new more powerful investment tools like "Get Cash" and tax-loss harvesting that propose trades to create a retirement income paycheck. "Before now, it was hard to implement a coordinated withdrawal sequence to generate income overtime where you strategically tap holdings in a smart order to maximize wealth," says William Meyer.

Income Solver has been popular with advisors who specialize in retirement planning because it pushed ideas and recommendations to the advisor on the most tax-efficient ways to generate retirement income to maximize portfolio longevity, improving advice and efficiencies. "One of the most powerful additions is the new modifications wizard that allows advisors to quickly edit strategies in ways that model and compare the withdrawal plan with varying tax environments, market expectations, rebalancing methods, and spending elements," shares Senior Analyst, Chris Lanfranca.

Organizations looking to embark on or continue financial transformation projects partner with Trintech including ABB, Covestro and DXC Technology

DALLAS, TX / ACCESSWIRE / August 11, 2020 / Trintech, a leading global provider of integrated Record to Report software solutions for the office of finance, today announced that industry-leading organizations are continuing to partner with Trintech to automate the Record to Report process. As these complex organizations focus on scaling their business and face the new challenges of the pandemic era, they demand a seamless, integrated, and configurable solution with end-to-end encryption, supporting 100s of ERP instances including SAP®, Oracle® and NetSuite®. Trintech counts the majority of the Fortune 100 among its client roster.

"We have seen our clients pivot quickly and realize the benefits of having a comprehensive solution in place that supports a fully-operational virtual ecosystem," says Teresa Mackintosh, CEO of Trintech. "As any organization serving large enterprises knows – and this is especially true right now – you need to be able to offer more than point or narrow solutions. You need a consistent partner with a comprehensive end-to-end solution that can work remotely with existing ERPs and handle real complexities in scale, performance, security, diversity, and regulatory and geographic requirements. We call it "Enterprise Grade" financial accounting software, and this enterprise expertise is at our core."

Trintech's Cadency solution is the only System of Accounting Intelligence (SOAI) that combines end-to-end financial close activities into a single, seamless process, including operational matching, intercompany transaction management, balance sheet reconciliations, journal entry management, close task management, and compliance. In addition, it leverages innovative technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Risk Intelligent RPA™ (RI RPA), and ERP Bots for further efficiencies and to support your financial transformation journey as your business evolves and grows.

"We are finding that more and more large enterprises are discovering the value of choosing a firm that is more than a vendor — a consistent partner who provides reliable industry expertise and a complete, end-to-end solution that can scale with their growth," said Russ Hubbard, Chief Revenue Officer of Trintech. "A perfect example of this is a client of ours, a Fortune 10 premier health innovation company that went through a $70B merger and chose to replace BlackLine with Cadency. They believed Cadency was the only solution that could standardize and transform their financial processes globally as they combined their retail and insurance organizations."

DXC Technology, an organization resulting from the merger of Computer Sciences Corporation and Hewlett Packard Enterprise's Enterprise Service segment, also chose Trintech's Cadency solution, displacing BlackLine, for over 3,000 global users. The firm needed a solution that could integrate seamlessly with SAP® and provide full visibility and control across the entire global organization rather than merely implementing a workflow tool. DXC Technology has implemented Cadency Reconciliation Certify, Close, and Journal Entry and has also started to deploy Trintech's ERP Bots to gain further efficiencies.

In order to improve its R2R process, ABB partnered with Trintech and Capgemini to implement Trintech's Cadency solution in support of new processes, a drive for automation, and significant change management. After choosing to implement Cadency over BlackLine, ABB has achieved a single, standardized approach to balance sheet management on a global scale. Reconciliations have required less manual effort due to increased automation and the application of a risk-based strategy. ABB is now able to focus on the risk rating of their balance sheet, with high-risk accounts, such as bank accounts, being reconciled each month with low risk accounts on a less frequent reconciliation cycle.

Furthermore, a global, industry-leading office experience solution provider and a Fortune 150 real estate firm both recently came to Trintech from BlackLine, needing a more complete Record to Report solution with a proven compliance framework ideal for large enterprises. In another instance, a Fortune 20 retailer who previously used the BlackLine solution as a workflow tool for their account reconciliations decided to implement Trintech's Cadency solution to support a broader financial transformation initiative that extended well beyond their limited BlackLine implementation.

"We don't provide a one-size-fits all solution, and that's by design – a truly effective solution for the office of finance shouldn't be," said Mackintosh. "The needs and requirements of mid-sized organizations versus large enterprises are vastly different which is why Trintech has invested in two solutions, Adra and Cadency, to ensure we provide our customers with the most effective solution for their organization. When a competitor has only one solution to offer, it often means sacrificing a customer's requirements versus providing solutions built specifically to a customer or market's unique needs. As we continue to see Adra gain traction in the North American market, we're confident we'll see Trintech succeed in competitive displacements in the mid-market segment going forward as we are observing in the Enterprise market."

Trintech Inc., a pioneer of Financial Corporate Performance Management (FCPM) software, combines unmatched technical and financial expertise to create innovative, cloud-based software solutions that deliver world-class financial operations and insights. From high volume transaction matching and streamlining daily operational reconciliations, to automating and managing balance sheet reconciliations, intercompany accounting, journal entries, disclosure reporting and bank fee analysis, to governance, risk and compliance – Trintech's portfolio of financial solutions, including Cadency® Platform, Adra® Suite, and targeted tools, ReconNET™, T-Recs®, and UPCS®, help manage all aspects of the financial close process.

SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 11, 2020 / Mediation & Family Lawyer, Scott Levin focuses on the future to help clients stay out of the courts, resolve their disputes amicably and learn to co-exist in each other's lives.

Scott Levin, a California native, husband and father of 3 young children, has been practicing law since 2004. Upon graduating from the University of Virginia with his law degree, he got his start as a litigator practicing family law. Close to a decade spent battling in court left Scott defeated and disillusioned by the typical couple's inability to reach peaceful agreements. According to Mr. Levin, a litigation attorney's first step when meeting with a new client is to try and learn as many bad things about the other party as possible. While one spouse is busy digging up dirt on the other, you can be sure that the other party is doing the exact same thing with their own attorney. Once enough "dirt" has been uncovered, the proceedings can begin. This process is not only painful, but also incredibly lengthy; the average litigation case in California lasts approximately 2 years. In many cases this process can prove extremely toxic and both parties are forced to live in the past, constantly dredging up bad memories, incapable of looking forward or achieving any real growth during this season. When children are involved, the situation is even more difficult, as many parents struggle to co-parent and exist amicably while the proceedings are still in motion.

Although Scott won many cases, he never really felt as though he was "winning" after witnessing the complete destruction family's underwent in order to reach an agreement. One day, after a particularly difficult case, and having recently learned of the negative effects that divorce ligation have on children, Mr. Levin realized he could not continue representing spouses in their war against one another. Overnight, he overhauled his practice and established a mediation firm. Vowing to never take another litigation case again. Nearly a decade later, Scott has stayed true to his word and has been responsible for helping hundreds of families find peace amidst their divorce.

Mr. Levin is known as the "Chief Peacekeeper" amongst his clients. Unlike a litigation attorney, Scott does not represent one spouse, but rather enters into a partnership with both spouses, with the goal of reaching an amicable agreement, saving the assets, and protecting each individual's future. Unlike traditional attorneys, Scott establishes the fee in advance, as opposed to charging by the hour or even the minute as many lawyers do. According to Chief Peacekeeper Levin, there is already so much uncertainty surrounding a divorce, the last thing a family needs to worry about is what the divorce is going to cost them, or ending up with thousands of dollars in unexpected fees. Once Mr. Levin and his female co-mediator have conducted the initial consultation and established that both parties are a mutually good fit, Scott forms a team with the spouses, explaining that from here forward, they are all on the same side, fighting the problems of the divorce itself, not one another.

From here, Chief Peacekeeper Levin is ready to listen to both spouse's wants and needs in order to best help them come up with creative solutions that will benefit both sides, protect the children, if applicable, and allow each spouse to prepare for their future. This process includes dividing up all assets and debts and establishing a parenting plan that addresses all the ins and outs of co-parenting. As a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA), Mr. Levin is highly skilled in financial matters and capable of providing the best possible financial advice to his clients as well. As a result of his incredible success and the impact his methods have had on the lives of countless couples and families, Scott has quickly become one of the top mediation lawyers in Southern California, though his services are available to clients all over the nation.

Divorce doesn't have to be a complicated, drawn out, spiteful experience. On average, Scott's clients are able to resolve their divorce through mediation in approximately four to six weeks; a fraction of the time it takes most litigation cases to be resolved. While nothing can change the painful aspects of a divorce, the proceedings need not be nasty and one cannot put a price on the emotional trauma avoided by reaching an agreement quickly and peacefully. For most people, Mr. Levin is optimistic that it is possible to engage in mediation, and emerge from a divorce as amicable co-parents and even friends.

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 11, 2020 / Compare-autoinsurance.org (https://compare-autoinsurance.org/) has released a new blog post that presents 10 efficient ways to get lower car insurance prices.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/10-ways-in-which-a-driver-can-save-for-car-insurance/

Insurance expenses can rise to several thousand of dollars per year. It all depends on several factors, including the model of the vehicle, driving experience and history, coverage limits, annual mileage, and so on. Drivers can get better rates if they:

Combines insurance services. A person can easily bundle car insurance with homeowners/renters/condo insurance and earn a valuable discount. When completing online questionnaires, the user is asked if he owns the home/apartment where he/she lives. If the user owns it, he will be provided with a bundle option. In some cases, a person can save as much as 20% simply by bundling coverage.
Combine multiple vehicles under the same contract. Covering multiple vehicles under the same insurer will also be financially rewarding. Multi-vehicle plans also provide a discount. The value of the discount is directly proportional with the number of insured vehicles.
Adjust the value of deductibles. It is up to the policyholder to set deductibles. The usually recommended value is $500, for both comprehensive and collision coverage. However, the policyholder can choose higher values and lower the overall premiums.
Drop full-coverage on older cars. If the car is older than 10 years, keeping full coverage is likely to make the owner overpay. Since a car's value diminishes over time, keeping full coverage for cars older than 5-6 years can lead to unnecessary costs.
Avoid committing traffic violations. Whenever a person tries to obtain online quotes, he will be asked for claims and traffic violations in the recent 3-5 years. Traffic violations and accidents will not only increase premiums but can also determine a carrier to consider a client "high-risk" driver and eventually, drop him.
Buy a safe-to-drive car. Consider a car's safety rating before buying it. Look for annual crash-test ratings and NHTSA safety rankings. A safe car is cheaper and easier to insure.
Install extra safety and anti-theft devices. Investing in car's safety will be greatly appreciated by insurance companies. Drivers can qualify for several discounts. Furthermore, installing car recovery systems will lower the comprehensive component of the premium.
Graduate a defensive driving course. The client will improve his driving skills and will get a discount. Many online questionnaires ask drivers (especially the young ones) if they have participated in courses provided by the local DMV or they are willing to participate in defensive driving classes.
Compare online car insurance quotes every six months. It is recommended to get car insurance quotes at least once every 6 months and check the average premium costs. Being permanently aware of the average costs will help drivers decide if they stay with the same carrier upon renewal or not.
Pay-in-full. Paying for the whole coverage period will help drivers save around 10% on their insurance. Use online quotes and see how much it can be saved by paying for everything in advance.

Compare-autoinsurance.org is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website.

Recent Wall Street Journal article, "Cosmetics Brands Face Revenue Drop as Department Stores Close" by Mark Maurer, identifies negative sales trends in traditional retail as established department store brands struggle to maintain revenue against store closings. Many of these brands are looking towards their online sales channels to make up the decline from traditional retail sales. Unlike established cosmetics brands, marketing Dermacia Pro cosmetics online has been a priority for Scepter Holdings, Inc., since before the recent pandemic crisis.

"We are pleased to see consumer interest in cosmetics moving online, we believe this trend will only help to support sales of Dermacia Pro cosmetics," stated Robert Van Boerum, Chairman of the Board.

SHERMAN OAKS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 11, 2020 / Dear Ellen K., I, Leo Robin's grandson, sent you an open letter on July 14, 2020 via FedEx, almost a month ago, but assume that you never received it since I haven't heard back from you. I am enclosing it once more so you will better understand the unprecedented circumstances surrounding the long-standing mistake made by the Hollywood Walk of Fame more than 30 years ago. The 1990 Walk of Fame Committee awarded a star to lyricist Leo Robin and then the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and subsequent Walk of Fame Committees would take it back. These actions over the years that resulted in the failure to install the star awarded to Robin are manifest of a moral wrong.

To borrow the lyrics from the song "Faithful Forever," composed by Ralph Rainger with lyrics by Leo Robin, introduced in the 1939 animated film Gulliver's Travels, which was recorded by many jazz artists such as vocalists Mildred Bailey and Perry Como and the orchestras in their heyday including Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Woody Herman and Guy Lombardo: "Faithful forever I promise to be" certain that the Hollywood Chamber finally installs the star awarded to Leo Robin for all the visitors of the Hollywood Walk of Fame to see.

Each year, Leo Robin Music awaits with great interest the release of the annual announcement by the Hollywood Chamber of the new class of honorees to have their stars unveiled and installed on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to see if the star awarded to lyricist Leo Robin more than 30 years ago but never installed finally appears on this list. For Leo Robin, this annual ritual is known as "Pass Over." I am outraged by the Hollywood Chamber's recent announcement to once again "Pass Over" the installation of the star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame that was awarded to Robin more than 30 years ago.

In a Facebook live session on Thursday, June 18, you as chair of the Walk of Fame's Selection Panel, announced the honorees from the Hollywood Walk of Fame Class of 2021. "The Walk of Fame Selection Panel is pleased to announce 35 new honorees to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Selection Panel, made up of fellow Walk of Famers, hand-picks a group of honorees each year that represent various genres of the entertainment world," said Ellen K. "The Panel has done an exemplary job in choosing very talented people. We can't wait to see each and every honoree's face as they realize that they are becoming a part of Hollywood's history as we unveil their star on the world's most famous walkway!", Ellen K added.

The "Pass Over" of Robin by the Hollywood Chamber and Walk of Fame Committee on the list of honorees to have their stars installed and unveiled on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a moral wrong. Ellen K., you have a perfect pitch voice on your morning radio program on KOST 103.5 FM. as well as the voice of the Grammy Awards and the Academy Awards. The recent announcement by you would be tantamount to announcing a winner at the Grammy Awards or at the Academy Awards and then not giving the winner a Grammy or an Oscar to take home.

Can you imagine if multi-Grammy winner Tony Bennett winning the Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance in 1997 for his album Here's to the Ladies — which theme of the album was songs made famous by female singers and included "My Ideal" with lyrics by Robin to pay tribute to Margaret Whiting for performing her theme song — but not being given the Grammy to take home or multi-Oscar winner Robert De Niro winning for Best Actor the Oscar in 1980 for the film Raging Bull — which used a few songs with lyrics by Robin including "Prisoner of Love" performed by Perry Como (1946), "Prisoner of Love" performed by Russ Columbo (1934) and "Bye, Bye Baby" performed by Marilyn Monroe (1953) — but not being given the Oscar to take home.

In the wake of the release of the story Leo Robin never got his Walk of Fame star. Now his grandson is fighting for it, which first broke on May 23, 2019 by Ashley Lee from the Los Angeles Times, we learned what happened 30 years ago. Ms. Lee reported, "The envelope was returned to its sender and has since remained in the Chamber of Commerce's records." She also tweeted, "at first I didn't believe that Leo Robin's star had really slipped through the cracks" with a photo of that acceptance letter and the envelope stamped "RETURN TO SENDER." Ms. Lee explained the Chamber's view, "A mistake it was not, noted (Ana) Martinez to The Times. Back in 1989, before the ease of email and cell phones, honorees were not as repeatedly and actively pursued to secure their star as they are today. That means no follow-up letters and no calls to co-signers, even if Robin's application was co-signed by (Bob) Hope, who has four stars on the Walk."

What happened 30 years ago — when the acceptance letter was returned to sender and there was no follow-up letters and no calls to notify co-sponsor Bob Hope — is wrong as wrong can be. Throughout the past sixty years, the Chamber has successfully kept track of 2,690 honorees and has seen to it that each and every one of them received a star and had it successfully installed on the Hollywood Walk of Fame with their name on it — except for the "Passover" of Robin. At this point, one can't help but conclude that Robin, his sponsors, his family and the 1990 Walk of Fame Committee, itself, have been treated unjustly by the Hollywood Chamber and the Walk Of Fame Committee chaired by you.

The failure of the Hollywood Chamber to install the star awarded to Robin is hard to fathom but remember that my grandmother who was the sponsor passed away before receiving notification and that the co-sponsor, actor Bob Hope, was never notified. It is high time for the Hollywood Chamber and the 2020 Walk of Fame Committee to preserve their integrity and honor the decision of the 1990 Walk of Fame Committee and its obligation to put Leo's long-lost star in its rightful place on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It is my hope that you, as Chair of the Walk of Fame Committee, will take the necessary steps to correct this moral wrong and award my grandfather, the legendary songwriter, Leo Robin, his long-overdue star.

I hope you and yours are staying safe and healthy. As difficult as these extraordinary times are, I am hopeful about the power of music to inspire action, to heal and lift us up, and to liberate our minds and hearts. I remember Bob Hope in his eulogy of my beloved grandfather on January 2, 1985, when he said, "His lyrics struck such a positive note…such hopeful themes…The feelings of joy he conveyed will lift hearts for generations to come. And if you don't believe that, just hum the lyrics of "Beyond the Blue Horizon" a few times. I guarantee you'll never have to visit an analyst." Be inspired with this sample, "Blue horizon Waits a beautiful day Goodbye to things that bore me Joy is waiting for me."

In Leo Robin's lyrics from Gulliver's Travels -1939,

"Faithful Forever," Leo Robin Music
