FORT WORTH, TX – 9/13/2016 (PRESS RELEASE JET) — Marcus Hiles Fort Worth entrepreneur and founder of Western Rim Property Services has singlehandedly changed the Texas housing market by offering luxurious rentals in highly desirable locations his company’s townhomes and apartments boast unmatched premium conveniences at a remarkable value. While the excitement of city living may continue to lure house hunters to consider higher-priced options with less modern comforts in the state’s urban areas, the spacious interiors, resort-like luxuries and on-site green spaces found in all of Hiles’ communities make a convincing and attractive argument for moving a bit farther from the nearest metropolitan area’s downtown.

Marcus Hiles Fort Worth based company’s suburban properties are highly desirable due to a host of aspects extending beyond mere cost: the neighborhoods provide an elevated lifestyle thanks to chic, contemporary design and unrivaled communal facilities. Located just outside of Houston at the Estates Woodland in Magnolia, elevator-accessible homes contain spacious 9-to-10-foot ceilings, expansive windows for natural light, and attractive hanging pendant lights. Gourmet chef kitchens come complete with extra large walk-in pantries, elegant, under-lit cabinets and sophisticated, energy-efficient Whirlpool® ENERGY STAR appliances. At the Mansions 3Eighty in the Dallas satellite city of Little Elm, tenants have 24-7 access to a fully equipped, state-of-the-art fitness center with an on-hand expert personal trainer; outside, a welcoming infinity-edge, Olympic-sized swimming pool near the clubhouse is complemented by a series of lavish private cabanas and a professional tanning deck. Within a short drive of Austin in the Mansions at Stone Hill development in Pflugerville, ample alternatives abound for professionals called away from the office and requiring necessary services: a business center outfitted with free Mac and PC computer access, an outdoor Wi-Fi lounge and even a dedicated Starbucks Wi-Fi café.

In addition to the privileged living experience Marcus Hiles Fort Worth based company affords its residents, nearby employment opportunities and excellent school districts are important factors swaying working class Texans toward an upscale suburban life. Corporate relocations to outlying sections of the Lone Star state’s cities have helped generate jobs, with more than 400,000 created during the last two years in the Dallas metroplex alone; with these sweeping changes, career growth has been greater in the suburbs, with new hires enjoying shorter and easier commutes. These same areas where Western Rim chose to establish their lavish neighborhoods are regarded for the exceptional quality of their public school systems as well; and as research has shown, the better educated a city, the higher the income. A brief look at the numbers comparing college graduates of the Frisco population (41 percent) versus Dallas (18 percent) also reveals an average household earning of $131,291 for the former and $72,625 for the latter.

Marcus Hiles is an esteemed real estate investment authority and philanthropist who has spent more than three decades as CEO of Western Rim Property Services. His development projects have included upmarket communities across Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, New Braunfels and San Antonio. A graduate of Pepperdine and Rice Universities, his deep commitment to education and after school programs has inspired him to donate more $2.5 million to public and private K-12 initiatives, including a recent donation of 200 new computers to underprivileged inner city children.

LOS ANGELES, CA – 9/13/2016 (PRESS RELEASE JET) — Real estate expert and an incredibly devout man of God, Frederick Wehba together with his longtime wife Susan Wehba are proud to launch their faith based organization The Wehba Foundation. After founding several Southern California churches and observing how blessed they have been with the ability to create a lasting impact on the Christian faith community, the Wehba’s will devote their time and energy toward implementing godly values toward various regional groups. Their foundation focuses on students, real estate ventures, and both corporate and small business opportunities. By integrating the fundamentals of Biblical doctrine into their foundation, the Wehba’s believe they will be able to procure a strong influence on those they assist.

During his long career as a real estate investor, Frederick Wehba has been fortunate to enjoy the rewards of his hard work and strong faith by building a multi-billion dollar enterprise. After consistently upholding God’s values and having raised four children, Fred and Susan are ready to bring their spiritual gifts to their local neighborhood. The Wehba Foundation will focus on leading business professionals to greater gains by modeling Christian values. Their core message communicates that running a business with a strong moral compass and Christ’s guiding hand will garner great rewards. The Wehba’s can point to their own lives as examples of this; by following God’s will and by possessing outstanding moral character, success can more easily come your way. Mentoring programs and events will be created to serve both large and small businesses as well as non-profit entities.

Drawing upon his extensive business knowledge, Frederick Wehba will also assist those offering key resources to the Los Angeles area. Churches, schools, and senior centers will all benefit from Wehba’s development strategies; he aims to ensure that these groups flourish and continue to serve and spread the Christian faith. Emphasizing the potential that younger generations hold, The Wehba Foundation will also work with students who commit to living a life that exemplifies Christ’s teachings. As a first generation American, Fred knows firsthand how one’s early childhood experiences can shape adulthood, and promises to encourage local youth to build a strong moral foundation in their own lives.

C. Frederick (Fred) Wehba’s groundbreaking Foundation is just one of many in a long list of accolades during his philanthropic life. He actively sits on the board of several prestigious organizations, including the Beverly Hills Education Foundation and the Alliance for College-Ready Public Schools. In 2014, the mayor of Los Angeles granted the “Man of the Year” title to Mr. Wehba after his sizable involvement in creating financial stability in the rapidly growing metropolis. Currently serving as deacons at Bel Air Presbyterian Church, the Wehbas are also devoted supporters of many ministries and charities including St. Jude, Childhelp, and the Southern Baptist Mission Board. Through The Wehba Foundation, Fred and Susan will continue their lives of service and aim to communicate the fundamental truths that they hold so dearly.

Google are normally always one step ahead in the world of technology but even with their thousands of highly skilled app developers and all the resources they have at their disposal they have missed out on an important service for the Vietnamese community. Mike Huynh, a part-time developer from San Jose, saw a gap in the market and found Vietnamese businesses were struggling to be found in Google.

Soon after he arrived in San Jose, the capital of Silicon Valley he found it hard to find Vietnamese businesses and services unless he bought a local Vietnamese newspaper. So Mike decided to do something about it and within a few days he developed a clever Vietnamese Local Business Directory app called GanToi.

The new Vietnamese business directory app (GanToi.com) is set to become one of the most important marketing tools for the Vietnamese business community. It provides local California businesses to connect with potential local customers without wasting money on expensive marketing campaigns. The app that has beaten Google at their own game allows the user to easily locate a business of their choice in their chosen local community.

Mike Huynh, the founder of GanToi.com, explained: “One of the biggest problems people have when searching for a local Vietnamese business is not getting the information they need in the Google search engine. Searches for local Vietnamese businesses are never accurate, and this is due to the fact that most local Vietnamese businesses don’t promote themselves online, most will advertise in a traditional local Vietnamese newspaper.”

With three billion people using the Internet with many of them looking for local services, it has become important for local businesses to be found online. However, Google is letting the Vietnamese community down, which means local Vietnamese businesses are missing out on important revenue. That is why the new Vietnamese business directory has become an important tool. With having the right information, and having an app that works in a different and more positive way than Google and allows the user to find a business based on their location, it means an increase in revenue for local businesses.

“Where Google failed the local community, we have succeeded. That is how we beat Google at their own game. Our applications don’t sort businesses based on keywords or keyword optimization; they are listed purely on the basis of their proximity to the user of the app.”, explained Mike Huynh.

With 7.19 billion mobile devices in the world, apps have become an important way of finding products and services. Research has found that 77 percent of those looking for a product or service with a local business on their mobile device went on to make a purchase, showing the power of apps and mobile devices. The local Vietnamese local directory app aims to help local Vietnamese businesses to increase their revenue and help people living in the local community to buy local.

The GanToi App is easy to use and allows local Vietnamese business owners to get listed on the app for free. There is a small administration and support fee, which helps the running cost of GenToi.com. Due to the success of the app, there are plans to make it global, making it the most important worldwide Vietnamese business marketing tool.

For details on the new app, and to see how important it is, please visit www.gantoi.com

About GanToi App:

GanToi App was formed by an ordinary guy from Melbourne migrating to California who had a bit of spare time on his hands. At present, he is working on other apps of a similar nature which will be released in the near future.

USA – 9/13/2016 (PRESS RELEASE JET) — Ketamine Treatment Centers, the premier psychiatric infusion practice for mood and anxiety disorders, is opening its 6^th center nationwide, this time in Bryn Mawr, PA. 

Ketamine is a medicine developed more than 50 years ago for anesthesia during surgery, and has been used for that purpose since that time in children, adults, and animals.  More recently, ketamine has been found to be a valuable and highly effective treatment for

depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and certain pain disorders such as fibromyalgia.  Unlike most commonly prescribed oral anti-depressant medications that take weeks to months before the patient and practitioner can even decide if the treatment is working, ketamine infusions have a greater than 70% success rate with improvement noted in hours to days.  In fact, most patients will know after their 1^st infusion whether or not they respond (>70% of patients will respond and have benefit), and these are patients that have often failed 2 or more trials of medications and/or ECT.  In addition, the side effect profiles for commonly prescribed oral anti-depressant medications are extensive and sometimes life threatening.  Far and away the most common experience with ketamine infusions is to have no side effects in between treatments.

Ketamine Treatment Centers was founded in 2011 by Dr. Steven P. Levine, a board-certified psychiatrist.  Dr. Levine has pioneered a protocol for the clinical use of ketamine infusions to treat severe depression and anxiety disorders.  He has directly supervised many thousands of infusions, and has helped establish similar programs across the country and around the world.

Ketamine has the potential to help the majority of patients achieve significant relief within hours of a first treatment. In a recent interview with the Washington Post, Dr. Levine described the experience of a ketamine treatment,  “[It] seems to leave something indelible behind,” he says, “People use remarkably similar language to describe their experience: ‘a sense of connection to other people,’ ‘a greater sense of connection to the universe’.”

Dr. Levine has partnered with Dr. Anand Dugar, a board-certified anesthesiologist, combining the expertise of psychiatry and anesthesia to provide unrivaled, world-class care for the treatment of major depression, bipolar depression, post-partum depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and fibromyalgia.  The office in Bryn Mawr, PA opens mid September 2016, joining the existing offices in Princeton, NJ, Denver, CO, Baltimore, MD, Raleigh, NC and West Palm Beach, FL.  New offices in Fairfax, VA, Potomac, MD, Chicago, IL, New York, NY, White Plains, NY, and Cincinnati, OH are scheduled to open in the next few months.

USA – 9/13/2016 (PRESS RELEASE JET) — ServiceDealFilmDistributor.com offers independent feature film and documentary producers new options for releasing their films to theaters and other content distribution channels.

Services to producers include:

• Theater Booking for premieres, multi-city debuts, and one-week bookings in cities nationwide. Includes ticket sales and local marketing on demand.

• Press & PR services promote feature films and documentaries to writers, editors, and radio producers.  

• Search Engine Marketing services ensure film and filmmaker can be found swiftly when media pros and the public search for them on Google.

• Website development to support ticket sales, merchandise sales, and audience collection.

• Social Media Marketing campaigns to sell tickets and build buzz via Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, etc.

• Merchandising to expand production company revenues from on-demand product and book sales.

ServiceDealFilmDistributor.com founder Nancy Fulton says, “Originally producers who made films handled distribution pretty much the way they handled production and post production of a film.  They made some kind of deal with a theater and split the revenues. Over many years distributors came into being. These companies purchased the right to distribute a film in theaters, on television, on cruise ships, on cable channels, etc. They would pay filmmakers an upfront fee for these rights and then pay them a percentage of the revenues the film earned.”

Fulton continues, “Over the last couple of decades, distribution deals have degraded significantly. Filmmakers are frequently asked to give their rights to the distributor with no upfront fee, or for a small minimum guarantee, and they get paid a percentage of the revenue the film earns only after the distributor recoups all their costs over which a filmmaker has no control. In some cases a film is virtually held captive by a distributor who refuses to release or market it at all. Our service deal distribution services allow the producer to retain ownership and control of their content while ensuring it finds a paying audience.”

Filmmakers can work with ServiceDealFilmDistributor.com before, during, or after production to determine the options available for their film.  For full details visit www.ServiceDealFilmDistributor.com or email info@ServiceDealFilmDistributor.com.

Además, utilizamos cosecha sostenible de bambú única, que está disponible a nivel local. Desde nuestra planta de fabricación está ubicada estratégicamente, nos da una inmensa ventaja en términos de costes de transporte y la eficiencia operativa “, agregó el oficial de ventas.

Los fabricantes utilizan de primera categoría equipos de molienda italiano y alemán para la fabricación de los parquets de bambú y todos los otros tipos de Bambú Terraza y productos para pisos. Además, tanto los parquets y productos para pisos pre-terminados y sin terminar se ofrecen para una máxima comodidad de nuestros compradores. 25 años de garantía de-laminación da a nuestros compradores una mayor tranquilidad. Además de eso, también ofrecemos garantía de 5 años en óxido de aluminio acabado productos de pisos de bambú “, agregó el ejecutivo de ventas.

Según él, los parquets se pueden utilizar en escuelas, hoteles, colegios, hospitales, oficinas y en todos los otros establecimientos residenciales, comerciales o civiles.

(LOS ANGELES, September 13, 2016) — Worldwide Business with kathy ireland® announces an exclusive interview with Frank Martin, CEO & Co-Founder of Base7booking, a hotel technology company that is present in 45 different countries around the world.

Base7booking has software that is available in 45 different countries and 16 different languages. Already, hundreds of hotels and apartment complexes are using these programs to manage multiple properties all over the world. Because multiple users can access and change data at the same time, Base7booking’s programs are allowing hotel owners to work closely with their property managers and other staff even when they’re away from their properties. This gives property owners and their staff the ability to work together even when traveling.

The founders of Base7booking have been working in the hotel management industry since 1999. Their experience went into designing their company’s products. Together, the founders of Base7booking created the company in 2008 with the goal of helping hotel managers operate their properties more efficiently.

Victor Lequet, Co-Founder & Product Owner at Base7booking commented, “We are making hotel technology accessible for small and medium sized hotels by providing them an intuitive tool that tackles day-to-day hotel challenges. Alongside, we feed our community with valuable content about modern hotel management best practices. We like to think that hoteliers who use Base7booking are empowered with the right tool and the right knowledge to manage their hotel efficiently.”

“I believe that working with Worldwide Business with kathy ireland® will attract a lot of attention on Base7booking as a product, but also on the real ‘why’ of our existence. There is a true technological gap in the independent hotel industry and people will be surprised to see the latency,” added Lequet.

With the use of their software, Base7booking’s clients are now able to get real-time updates about their properties from any computer or mobile device. This is particularly important to today’s hotel owner, since so much of the daily operations of a hotel now involve multiple online platforms. Base7booking’s software is able to take data from multiple sources and combine them into a series of easy to read and understand charts and graphs.

(LOS ANGELES, September 13, 2016) — Worldwide Business with kathy ireland® announces an exclusive interview featuring Continuity Family Business Consulting’s Founding Partner, Doug Baumoel, and Managing Partner, Blair Trippe. This feature story will cover how Continuity’s team of business advisors guides enterprising families confronting the myriad of challenges in sharing ownership, wealth and power together.

Owning a business can be a dynamic and highly rewarding endeavor. However, when it is undertaken with family members it can become complex and stressful due to the inherent conflicts that are unique in family businesses. Continuity has helped scores of enterprising families and their companies – from small and middle market businesses to billion dollar families – navigate the challenges of shared management, ownership and economic interests. When continuing relationships matter, their approach targets both family harmony and business success.

With expertise in business and family systems, the Continuity Family Business Consulting team believes that the most critical success factor for family enterprises is their ability to successfully manage the inherent conflicts of owning and working together.

Continuity integrates conflict management into each of their comprehensive services – from corporate and family governance, succession planning and wealth integration to leadership and organizational development. They help families that are fighting, in litigation, or simply stuck and unable to move forward.

“Continuity Family Business Consulting is more than a consulting firm,” notes J.L. Haber, Vice President of Programming. “They understand the unique dynamics of a family and how difficult it can be for families to work with one another on a professional level. Having developed a powerful approach to addressing this unique yet widely prevalent type of business system, they respond with what it takes to make a family business successful.

“When families go to war over business, wealth or power, or when family issues overwhelm sound economic decision-making, everyone loses,” explains Continuity Founding Partner Doug Baumoel. “From our perspective, the conflict inherent in family businesses has historically been poorly understood until now; how that conflict is managed can be the difference between success and failure.”

“Too often families get stuck, and are unable to make good decisions together in a timely manner. Or, worse yet, they get into conflict over their shared assets,” says Blair Trippe, Continuity Managing Partner. “We work to ensure that family stakeholders are fully prepared and supported to serve as responsible owners and potential managers of their shared business and wealth. At the same time, we help to better align the business enterprise and shared wealth with the needs of the family and its legacy.

“Worldwide Business with kathy ireland®” reaches a global audience of innovators and executive leaders. They are eager for fresh perspectives on a range of issues affecting the growth and development of family enterprise,” adds Doug Baumoel. It is important to Continuity to have an opportunity through this program to draw attention to the importance of family businesses and the contribution they make to the global economy.

In addition, Doug Baumoel and Blair Trippe have published a new book, Deconstructing Conflict: Understanding Family Business, Shared Wealth and Power (DeconstructConflict.com), which draws upon their fifteen years of experience perfecting the method they call, “The Conflict Equation.” For more information, tune into Fox Business Network as sponsored programming at 5:30pm EST and Bloomberg International at 7:30am GMT, 10:30am D.F. and 3:00pm HKT on Sunday, September 18, 2016.

Direct Processors

Last year, top level and tier 1 retailers were impacted by the rollout of EMV chip-type processing equipment requirements. “Admittedly, there have been some growing pains involved in this transition,” said the team at Direct Processors.

 According to the company, “Data suggests that credit card fraud as a rule has declined sharply as a result of the change-over. The evidence also points to large consumer frustrations on the rise.”

 As a result, the two largest credit card issuers are quickly moving to address issues posed by consumers.

 Visa and MasterCard aim to increase transaction efficiency of the newly mandated EMV chip cards. Both companies are currently developing EMV chips that will drastically reduce transaction time for purchases. These new chips could arrive in stores in the near future.

 EMV remains a safer and more secure way to process credit card transactions, and it will soon become faster. Wait times will decrease during busier periods of business, meaning the 1 million merchants who have already adopted the EMV technology will be faster and more secure when new chips begin to arrive. The 1 million merchants represents approximately 20% of all merchants in the country, and the main hurdle for increasing acceptance with EMV chips is to speed up wait times.

 “Some merchants are reporting transaction times of four or five seconds,” said Ajay Bhalla, president of enterprise security solutions at MasterCard. “Some are reporting longer. The idea is to solve the issue for merchants who are seeing longer transaction times.”

 Another hurdle is education. Informing merchants and consumers on topics such as using their chip cards and making the transition from swiping to dipping will increase adoption of EMV technology. Remedying technical issues, such as bandwidth issues, will also help.

 According to Direct Processors, the sooner small businesses get involved in EMV technology, the better off the businesses and their customers will be because EMV reduces purchase fraud.

National Card Solutions

In August 2016, between 20-40% of all American businesses accepting physical credit cards have switched over to accept EMV cards. Those numbers are lower than projected, meaning the overall goal of having 50% of all merchants switched to EMV by January 1, 2017, will be difficult to reach.

Small to medium sized businesses who haven’t yet upgraded to EMV POS are falling behind. Smaller businesses will grapple with chargebacks from the liability shift, according to National Card Solutions. Larger businesses seem to be on track to be entirely switched over to EMV processing by the end of the year.

Due to limited resources, there are still bottlenecks in the transition to EMV. “You have to buy expensive hardware to read the EMV cards, but you also have to have that hardware programmed right away,” said one retailer.

Depending upon the complexity of the terminal in use and the expertise of the software developer, the time spent waiting on certification can be lengthy. “During this time, the merchant is still liable for any and all fraudulent transactions or counterfeit cards they process,” said National Card Solutions.

Restaurants, the lodging industry, and the hospitality industry seem to be slower to making the transition because they are a bit more immune to fraudulent transactions. Hackers should see this trend, however, and chargebacks will ensue for merchants.

Consumers are quicker to adapt. An estimated 75% of consumers have at least one chip card, although they can’t use them at all merchants.

Since there is no government or legal mandate to push EMV adoption forward, National Card Solutions notes that progress at this time is good, and it will get better. Full adoption is anticipated within the next 5 years, which is about the same amount of time it took for European countries to get a 50% penetration in the market. For now, National Card Solutions recommends that merchants upgrading their terminals and becoming certified are the two most important tasks they can undertake this year.

Performance Merchant Alliance

Since the 2015 EMV transition, Visa has issued more than 282 million chip cards in the U.S. Merchants are bracing themselves to handle the new EMV cards, and almost 40% of all merchants are currently compliant and ready to take EMV cards.

Performance Merchant Alliance reports an uptick in the transition of small businesses from swipe terminals to chip encrypted terminals. With Visa’s issuance of hundreds of millions of credit and debit cards, consumers are driving the demand for merchants to make the change to EMV. Consumers have made it clear: they want the security that comes with the new technology.

The trend to adapt to the new EMV terminals is reducing fraud based on increased chip based transaction volume. Chip transactions reportedly increased by 12.5% in just one month in 2016.

Due to higher EMV-based spending, fraud has reduced by nearly 26% in the first quarter of 2016. As chip technology transactions continue to rise, merchants will notice changes such as less fraud.

 Credit card fraud cost merchants $32 billion in 2014, up $9 billion from 2013. By implementing EMV terminals, merchants get instant relief. More information can be found at http://permerch.com

United Card Solutions

According to the team at United Card Solutions, this year should bring the best opportunity for merchants to switch to EMV readers. Currently, between 20-40% of all merchants have made the change. With a 5-year goal to have all businesses switched over, it would seem that the EMV transition is well underway.

A 2015 Capital One study discovered that 50% of all business owners still had no knowledge of the EMV regulations and chip cards. “That is very surprising given the various efforts over the previous years by card issuers and merchant service providers to inform, engage, and teach merchants about the need to upgrade their EMV POS terminals before the liability shift,” said the team at United Card Solutions.

We are one year into the liability shift and 60% or more of merchants haven’t made the change. As a result, millions of merchants are targets for hackers and counterfeiters. United Card Solutions suspects that merchants will begin paying attention to the switch when chargebacks begin impacting their statements. Merchants will be liable for each fraudulent charge on their account.

Big box retailers, with their enhanced ability to spread knowledge and experience, seem to be on track for liability migration.

Independent small business owners, however, don’t always have the resources to invest in new POS terminals. Another issue faced by small businesses is the mixed messages received from credit card processors. Still, merchants who adopt EMV technology will be less susceptible to hacking and fraud. “The best defense for the small merchant is a combination of EMV, tokenization, and encryption to deter hackers and fraud,” said United Card Solutions.

Merchants will need to upgrade to the EMV POS certified hardware and software that aligns with their industry. In addition, United Card Solutions says that cardholders are further along than merchants in their EMV transitions. More than 50% in the U.S. are being offered the ability to conduct transactions with EMV cards. By the end of 2017, 98% of credit and debit cards in the U.S. will be EMV cards.

There is also growing interest in using mobile payments, which will continue to pressure merchants to upgrade.

United Card Solutions works with companies of all sizes to deliver leading edge card payment solutions, including EMV technology integration with sleek, streamlined credit card terminals, wireless credit card terminals, point of sale systems, debit pin pads, and more.
