Los Angeles, CA – June 27, 2017 — Worldwide Business with kathy ireland® announces an exclusive interview featuring Lumenis, a leading manufacturer of medical laser equipment, laser systems and laser solutions. Brad Oliver, Lumenis’ President of the Americas, will discuss the company’s offerings as a world leader in advanced laser technology.

The company is a global leader in the field of minimally-invasive clinical solutions for the surgical, ophthalmology and aesthetic markets, and is also a world-renowned expert in developing and commercializing innovative energy-based technologies. Since being founded in 1966, Lumenis’ groundbreaking products have redefined medical treatments and set numerous technological and clinical gold standards. The company is headquartered in Santa Clara, California and Yokneam, Israel.

Oliver says that Lumenis is different from other companies in the medical laser industry. He explains, “The diversity of our portfolio really helps us. Most companies are only in one type of laser or one specialty. We actually deal with anything from ophthalmology to plastic surgery to urology to ear, nose and throat — a very broad spectrum of things. And for each one of those divisions, we have our own sales division. That way, they can specialize in really helping the physician choose the right application to help treat those patients.”

JL Haber, Vice President of Programming for Worldwide Business with kathy ireland®, is proud to feature Lumenis. He says, “In the medical industry, laser technology is huge right now. And right there on the forefront of laser technology’s many advancements is Lumenis. Their groundbreaking minimally-invasive laser solutions are taking the medical industry by storm. We’re so excited to have such a leading company as Lumenis on our show.”

Tune in to Bloomberg International as sponsored programming on Sunday, July 2, 2017 and July 9, 2017. See market-by-market listings below.

Los Angeles, CA – June 27, 2017 — Worldwide Business with kathy ireland® is pleased to announce an exclusive interview with Jason Harper, CEO of CeloPay, a company that replaces cumbersome and dated paper processes with a streamlined, web-based method for collecting payment information.

In today’s digital age, businesses are consistently trying to balance safety, convenience and compliance when collecting payments. CeloPay is a secure platform designed to address just such payment collection issues.

CeloPay was developed by hospitality and technology professionals who understand the balance between convenience and compliance.  Although the hospitality industry benefits from CeloPay’s services, other businesses can also utilize the platform.

We facilitate the secure collection of payment data, in a really simple way,” says Harper.

Businesses send out a billing request to their customers, which they generate on their secure CeloPay site. The customers receive this request, then provide their payment information on the secure platform. The customer’s payment information is stored securely on the site for ease-of-use. Businesses are able to access the payment information via their secure CeloPay site.

CeloPay is a simple, secure, flexible and limit-less payment system. They charge a flat-rate price and predictable fees that include unlimited requests and unlimited users. It was designed with security in mind. The payment system replaces the need for businesses to take credit card information over the phone, fax or via an email address, which aren’t the most secure ways to share such important information. The motto of CeloPay, LLC is “where security meets convenience.” This principle is the basis upon which the application was designed.

Ledverlichting blijft populair en wint de markt voor zich: Led Inbouwspots biedt een selectie voor iedere woning

0

Nu mensen meer en meer aandacht besteden aan het milieu, zoeken ze naar nieuwe manieren om energie te besparen en hun koolstofvoetafdruk te verlagen. Ledverlichting helpt hierbij op beide fronten en Led Inbouwspots biedt een mooie selectie van deze lampen in Nederland.

Als je ledlampen vergelijkt met tl-verlichting of gloeilampen, zal je zien dat leds zo ver voorlopen, dat de anderen niet eens meer in hun voetsporen kunnen treden. Ledlampen zijn niet alleen energiezuinig, maar ze gaan ook veel, veel langer mee. Hierdoor zijn ledlampen de meest milieuvriendelijke vorm van verlichting op dit moment. Led Inbouwspots LEDs geeft iedereen in Nederland een kans om hun huis of kantoor ‘groener’ te maken, door hun verouderde verlichting te vervangen.

Uit schattingen blijkt dat veelvuldig gebruik van ledverlichting wereldwijd miljarden euro’s zou kunnen besparen. Zo gaf een agentschap uit de Verenigde Staten al aan dat de besparingen in alleen dat land al kunnen oplopen tot meer dan 30 miljard dollar tegen het jaar 2027.

Geld is echter niet alles, vooral niet in de moderne wereld. Vandaag de dag is men zich bewust van de klimaatverandering en de gevaren die dit met zich meebrengt. IJskappen zijn al aan het smelten en iedereen in Noord-Europa heeft de bedreiging van fluctuaties in het weer al kunnen ervaren. Storms, vloedgolven en hittegolven eisen honderden levens per jaar. Deze veranderingen kunnen voor een normaal persoon enkel onhandig lijken, maar ze zijn van grote invloed op het ecosysteem. Omdat alle levende dingen met elkaar verbonden zijn, kunnen we er zeker van zijn dat mensen zich bewust zijn van de gevolgen van het lijden van een andere soort.

Een massale overgang op ledverlichting zal leiden tot de besparing van enorm veel energie. Hierdoor zal de koolstofvoetafdruk van de energiecentrale worden verlaagd. Vergeet namelijk niet dat energieproductie een van de grootste factoren is in de huidige klimaatverandering. 

Hoe kan Led Inbouwspots hierbij helpen?

Led Inbouwspots helpt ieder persoon om een bijdrage te leveren in het gevecht tegen de klimaatverandering. Op de website, https://www.ledinbouwspotsleds.nl/, biedt het bedrijf niet alleen de lampen zelf, maar ook een verscheidenheid aan accessoires die ze nog efficiënter maken.

Een standaard ledlamp verbruikt gemiddeld 75% minder energie en gaat 25 keer langer mee dan een gloeilamp. Het is waar dat een tl-lamp efficiënter is dan een gloeilamp, maar tegenover een ledlamp kan ook deze op het gebied van zuinigheid niets beginnen. Daarnaast bevat tl-verlichting kwik, waardoor deze lamp ook nog eens risico met zich meebrengt.

Lampen van Led Inbouwspots komen in verschillende kleuren en kunnen uitgerust worden met dimmers. Hiermee kan de gebruiker zelf de intensiteit en tint van de verlichting regelen. Deze toevoeging zorgt ervoor dat iedereen zijn perfecte optie kan vinden. Ledlampen van tegenwoordig zijn goed betaalbaar, vooral als je daarbij ook nog rekening houdt met de besparingen in de energierekening die deze verlichting gegarandeerd met zich meebrengt.

2017 Ford Gt Supercar To Be Delivered To One Lucky Customer In Miami

Miami New & Used Ford Cars & Trucks | Metro Ford
Metro Ford chosen by customer for this unique event! Metro Ford has been chosen by a customer lucky enough to be designated by Ford to be able to purchase the All-New 2017 Ford GT Supercar.

Miami, Florida – June 27, 2017 – Metro Ford, 9000 NW 7th Avenue, in Miami, has been chosen by a customer lucky enough to be designated by Ford Motor Company to be able to purchase the All-New 2017 Ford GT Supercar.

Ford instituted a rigorous process to determine to whom they will sell the 250 GTs they will build in the 2017 model year. The company received over 6,000 applications but will produce only 1000 during the next four years.

Metro Ford had 12 customers who placed deposits to purchase the car. Only one was successful in convincing Ford that he was the best candidate to drive this incredible machine.

Each applicant had to apply online and demonstrate to Ford not only that they were loyal customers, but also that they will be using the car in their daily activities instead of collecting them for investment purposes. Many of the successful applicants used social media to convince Ford they were the type of GT customers they were looking for. They produced elaborate YouTube videos and set up pages in Facebook, Instagram and other media to show how they would be strong advocates for the Ford brand.

The GT was introduced by Ford in 2005 and became an instant hit. Soon it became a collector’s item and its value shot up. At that time it was powered by 5.4 liter supercharged V8 generating 550 hp and and 500 lb-ft of torque. The new 2017 version boasts a powerful twin-turbocharged V6 producing  647 hp and 550 hp.

The 2017 Ford GT has been acclaimed by the international press as one of the best supercars ever. It is considered a street-legal racing machine by many of the critics. Some of the reasons for this: The seats are non-adjustable, it comes with five racing modes, the body is made of carbon fiber, and the entire car lowers down to just 2.7 inches off the ground. It is capable of reaching speeds of 216 miles per hour.

The GT’s aerodynamics are enhanced by a deployable wing at the rear, flaps that open or close, and special ducts at the front of the car to aid the flow of air with minimum resistance.

Metro Ford has been informed that the Miami customer’s GT will arrive at the dealership sometime in the month of October. The dealership plans a 3-day exhibition of the Supermachine in its showroom. Customers and press will be invited to witness first hand this impressive machine before it is delivered to the fortunate individual chosen by Ford to be one of the few lucky owners.

La Cosecha Cafe Launches Campaign To Become 100% Employee Owned

0
0
These days, the topic of wealth inequality and its growth is a topic that consistently makes the news. Here to combat this trend is a pair of small business owners, Josh and Andra Carter, aiming to gift their cafe to their current seven employees, making it completely employee owned.

In the modern world, a common complaint is the fact that over half of the world’s wealth is in the hands of just one percent of the world’s population. This unfortunate statistic is largely a result of the rise of industry and massive corporations that can find tax loopholes and produce more goods for less money as they become more efficient. As a result, small businesses are becoming rarer and rarer, and these small businesses are all-too-often pushed out of business by other corporations. In defiance of this trend, Josh and Andra Carter opened a cafe after their move to Ecuador and named it La Cosecha, meaning the harvest. The small business thrived for three years, but sadly it is time for the Carters to go back to the United States and leave La Cosecha Ecuador behind.

However, the Carters have made a variety of deep and rich connections with both their employees and their clients over the years; thus, their employees have become more like family members than staff. In appreciation of these seven employees, the Carters wish to leave the employees with ownership of the cafe itself rather than selling the cafe and leaving the fate of the employees up to some new owner. By giving all rights of the cafe to the employees themselves, they will each have a secure and well-paying job doing what they love. In fact, both the Carters and their seven employees are incredibly proud to be listed as the Lonely Planet’s Top Pick for Otavalo and the #1 choice on TripAdvisor for both the city and the province. The employees hope to continue earning these and other accolades for years to come following the transition of ownership of La Cosecha to the employees.

  

In addition to supporting the employees, La Cosecha takes pride in supporting its surroundings. Through locally sourced ingredients ranging from cocoa to veggies to coffee beans, La Cosecha is able to keep the economy of its surroundings moving. For this to continue, Josh and Andra need to legally change the cafe’s ownership to be 100% employee-owned. To make this possible, the Carters have launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo.. Through this campaign, readers can support the employees of La Cosecha and receive gift cards, a La Cosecha Tote Bag, t-shirts, and be listed on a wall of donors. The Carters are excited to give the cafe to their employees, securing bright futures for their seven beloved friends.

Students Flock in as Classrr Takes Learning to the Next Level

Online Classroom Marketplace Link Teachers and Students

Classrr, an online classroom marketplace, is revolutionizing classroom learning.  More people than ever are turning to the internet to locate available classes, a fact that is embraced by Classrr.  The site that allows users to find teacher services and for teachers to connect with students is a concept that is quickly catching on as the company is experiencing growth.

“As education is evolving, so are we,” stated a Classrr representative.  “Modern times are trending a change in how people are choosing to be educated.  Even the subjects they are choosing are changing.  Classrr is simply making it easier for students and teachers to do what is already trending.  Teachers can publish their class and it will run the entire year.  Up to 6 students can be taken each schedule.  Students can pick the classes and prices that work best for them.  While it used to be that personalized learning was limited to expensive 1-on-1 classes, now, with our system, students can still have personalized attention by way of a small class but no longer have to pay high dollar prices as up to 6 students are sharing the financial load.  For the teachers, they are able to do for six students what they used to could only provide for one so it is beneficial financially and timewise.”

Classrr is a peer-to-peer education marketplace.  Entrepreneurial endeavors by teachers are displayed so that students can take advantage of the classes and can easily see where they will be held.  Before Classrr, prospective students had to scour the internet looking for classes and were in danger of fraud, computer malware and viruses and even worse.  Classrr has a great reputation of being trustworthy and for networking with excellent teachers.

“We are thrilled to present our site to the public because it offers a practical, safe and viable solution to both teachers and students,” a company spokesperson expounded.

Statistics show that education is lagging behind other industries.  Pop-ups are seen in eating establishments, massage parlors and even dog grooming.  Classrooms have not had that luxury.  But Classrr has changed that. 

The innovative idea is catching on like a storm.  Students find teachers and teachers find students.  In addition, those who are flocking to the site have expressed the fact that they like the wide variety of classes available and the convenience of finding what is available in their area and in other areas as well.

“I am very impressed with the entire concept and with the customer service available as well,” commented one recent site user.

White Bear Lake, MN – June 27, 2017 –

Sela Roofing Commercial Division of White Bear Lake, Minnesota, has received the most prestigious contractor award GAF offers: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes Sela Roofing Commercial Division as one of the “elite of the elite” commercial roofing contractors in the United States.

GAF is North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, and only GAF Master Select(TM) Contractors can compete for its commercial President’s Club Award. To qualify for this award, a commercial roofing contractor must meet specific criteria in at least one out of three different pathways: the Performance pathway, where contractors focus on giving their property owners the best possible service, quality, and protection; the Reliability pathway, where the contractor has a long history of offering their customers the best quality and protection; and the Service pathway, where contractors consistently offer their customers the best protection available in the marketplace.

Sela Roofing Commercial Division has been a GAF Master Select(TM) Contractor since 2003; the company received the President’s Club Award due to its excellent performance in 2016. To become a Master Select(TM) Contractor–a status that less than 1% of roofing contractors nationwide are able to achieve–a candidate must demonstrate proper licensing, maintain insurance (in states that require it), have a proven reputation, and show commitment to ongoing professional training.

As the largest roofing company in its market, Sela Commercial Roofing Division offers complete, comprehensive service to fit customers’ project budgets and time frames.

The Asphaltic Certification indicates that the contractor specializes in installing asphaltic roofing systems, and the Single-Ply Certification indicates a specialization in installing single-ply roofing systems. With the Topcoat Certification, Sela Roofing Commercial Division is recognized for specializing in the installation of GAF’s TOPCOAT(R) products–liquid-applied roofing restoration systems formulated to stand up to the harshest of roof conditions and provide energy savings at a fraction of the cost of a new roof.

RSI Roofing Receives GAF’s Prestigious 2017 President’s Club Award

RSI Roofing of San Diego, CA, has received GAF’s 2017 President’s Club Award. A GAF Master Select(TM) contractor since 2006, it provides roofing, reroofing, maintenance, repair, and emergency leak services in the San Diego County area.

San Diego, CA – June 27, 2017 –

RSI Roofing of San Diego, California, has received the most prestigious contractor award GAF offers: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes RSI Roofing as one of the “elite of the elite” commercial roofing contractors in the United States.

GAF is North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, and only GAF Master Select(TM) Contractors can compete for its commercial President’s Club Award. To qualify for this award, a commercial roofing contractor must meet specific criteria in at least one out of three different pathways: the Performance pathway, where contractors focus on giving their property owners the best possible service, quality, and protection; the Reliability pathway, where the contractor has a long history of offering their customers the best quality and protection; and the Service pathway, where contractors consistently offer their customers the best protection available in the marketplace.

RSI Roofing has been a GAF Master Select(TM) Contractor since 2006; the company received the President’s Club Award due to its excellent performance in 2016. To become a Master Select(TM) Contractor–a status that less than 1% of roofing contractors nationwide are able to achieve–a candidate must demonstrate proper licensing, maintain insurance (in states that require it), have a proven reputation, and show commitment to ongoing professional training.

“Professionalism” and “communication”–those are what separate RSI Roofing from its competitors, according to president David Susi. “It starts with ethics and honesty. We do what we say we’re going to do. We show up on time, bringing well-trained personnel to the job–every manager and foreman is a long-time employee. A bunch of employees have been here for 12 to 17 years, several for 17 to 20 years, and a few have been with us for our entire existence. We constantly train and up-train and promote from within. So we’ve maintained a very stable workforce over our history.”

RSI has established a recognizable brand in its market area. “People know us from referrals and other happy customers,” states Susi. “There’s a lot of repeat business; some customers have been with us since day one. Most of our customers are property managers who maintain relationships with vendors–and their relationship with this roofing vendor is second to none!” Adds James Adams, vice president of sales and marketing: “We don’t do any cold calling. Our customers refer us to their peers in the industry, so we get leads from them.”

With the experience and the talent to withstand years of recession and continuing drought, RSI has stayed vibrant and strong. “Even struggling through those factors, we managed to hit more than $11 million in sales in 2014,” says Susi. “It says a lot that we’ve maintained a healthy company, thanks to a backbone of both good customers and employees.” The company continues to expand into new services. “We’d like to expand our residential and solar divisions, and we partnered with GAF’s solar program. There’s a lot of customer interest in solar, and they like the idea of a single source–for construction and for financing–for a new roof and a new solar system.”

The company makes it a point to constantly give back to the community; it has rehabilitated a local Little League building and has done past work for indigents, senior citizens, and community centers. “We’ve also done some pro bono work across the border,” explains Susi. “We went down to Mexicali, Mexico, and reroofed an elementary school. We’ve also worked for Project Mercy in another area of Mexico, where we went there, built a home for a person, and put a roof on it.”

With its in-house safety manager and dedicated maintenance division complementing its roofing business, RSI has found the right formula for continued success going forward. “Something like 70% of our business is repeat or referral,” concludes Susi, “so we’re doing the right things. Customers get the products and the service that they expect. We know what to do, and we do it right every time!”

About RSI Roofing

Providing roofing, reroofing, maintenance, repair, and emergency leak services in the San Diego County area, RSI Roofing continues to lead, based on its core principles of knowledge, ethics, innovation, and communication.

Rayco Construction Receives GAF’s Prestigious 2017 President’s Club Award

Rayco Construction of Minneapolis, MN, has received GAF’s 2017 President’s Club Award. A GAF Master Select(TM) contractor since 2003, Rayco leads the industry with innovative products, high service standards, and extended warranties.

Minneapolis, MN – June 27, 2017 –

Rayco Construction of Minneapolis, Minnesota, has received the most prestigious contractor award GAF offers: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes Rayco Construction as one of the “elite of the elite” commercial roofing contractors in the United States.

GAF is North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, and only GAF Master Select(TM) Contractors can compete for its commercial President’s Club Award. To qualify for this award, a commercial roofing contractor must meet specific criteria in at least one out of three different pathways: the Performance pathway, where contractors focus on giving their property owners the best possible service, quality, and protection; the Reliability pathway, where the contractor has a long history of offering their customers the best quality and protection; and the Service pathway, where contractors consistently offer their customers the best protection available in the marketplace.

Rayco Construction has been a GAF Master Select(TM) Contractor since 2003; the company received the President’s Club Award due to its excellent performance in 2016. To become a Master Select(TM) Contractor–a status that less than 1% of roofing contractors nationwide are able to achieve–a candidate must demonstrate proper licensing, maintain insurance (in states that require it), have a proven reputation, and show commitment to ongoing professional training.

At some companies, management sometimes seems detached from daily operations and knowing about the products. That’s not the case at Rayco. “Our owners are salesmen, too,” says Trevor Gutting of Rayco Construction. “They’re also the ones who actually go to look at a roof and inspect it, to determine if it needs a reroof or just a repair. They’ve been roofers for many years, and they bring firsthand experience and knowledge to the process.”

The current owners bought the company several years ago, but the level of professionalism at Rayco–a Master Select(TM) contractor for more than a decade–has continued uninterrupted. “Most employees have been here a long time,” states Gutting, “some for up to 15 years. We don’t see a lot of staff turnover in commercial roofing. So we pride ourselves on having that long-term experience in the company.”

“Rayco is prompt with service,” continues Gutting. “We get out there quickly to check roofs. We’re efficient, we pay attention to details, and we do the job in a prompt manner that works with the customer’s schedule. On top of all that, we always maintain communication with the customer–from the opening bid, through the sales process, and while we have our team out there working on the roof. Customers are always kept informed about when we’ll be working, if there will be a delay due to weather, and so forth–they never have to call to ask.”

“We love working with GAF,” according to Gutting. “Whenever there are new GAF products, we work with them, we test them out. We work closely with our reps in the Twin Cities area.”

Going forward, Rayco looks forward to new marketing initiatives and expanding growth in its core customer base. “About 75% of our business is with management companies,” says Gutting, “so we like building strong relationships with them, to keep them coming back as repeat customers.” Gutting concludes by citing the positive energy in Rayco’s offices. “We’ve got some new employees and new roles here, and we are very ambitious–that energy is moving Rayco forward into the future, for many years to come.”

PSI Roofing Receives GAF’s Prestigious 2017 President’s Club Award

PSI Roofing of Oakland Park, FL, has received GAF’s 2017 President’s Club Award. A GAF Master Select(TM) contractor since 2003, PSI’s highly trained work force offers cost-effective solutions to roofing issues, with an emphasis on quality.

Oakland Park, FL – June 27, 2017 –

PSI Roofing of Oakland Park, Florida, has received the most prestigious contractor award GAF offers: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes PSI Roofing as one of the “elite of the elite” commercial roofing contractors in the United States.

GAF is North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, and only GAF Master Select(TM) Contractors can compete for its commercial President’s Club Award. To qualify for this award, a commercial roofing contractor must meet specific criteria in at least one out of three different pathways: the Performance pathway, where contractors focus on giving their property owners the best possible service, quality, and protection; the Reliability pathway, where the contractor has a long history of offering their customers the best quality and protection; and the Service pathway, where contractors consistently offer their customers the best protection available in the marketplace.

PSI Roofing has been a GAF Master Select(TM) Contractor since 2003; the company received the President’s Club Award due to its excellent performance in 2016. To become a Master Select(TM) Contractor–a status that less than 1% of roofing contractors nationwide are able to achieve–a candidate must demonstrate proper licensing, maintain insurance (in states that require it), have a proven reputation, and show commitment to ongoing professional training.

In business for more than 25 years, PSI Roofing can perform as well as other contractors in the area on any size job. “We differentiate ourselves,” says president Paulo Souza, “by taking the time to educate the clients, create trust, and really show them the best option. We’re not just trying to get another signed contract, like a lot of our competitors.”

Assessing the customer’s needs is central to the process at PSI. “We listen first,” states Souza. “We offer options. We address their concerns. And then we provide a comprehensive package, with a proposal and information that can be understood by people who aren’t roofers. Most customers don’t understand a lot of roofing terminology, so we break it down for them. That’s a big ‘plus’ for us.”

Souza continues: “Not all our competitors include record-keeping for their clients and 24/7 assistance, but we bring those features. At the end of the process, our clients will feel it was the right decision, because we’re holding hands with them the whole time, from the initial sales process all the way through to the warranty and the final paperwork.”

“We are conscious of the large expense of a roof,” explains Souza. “So we look at clients as if they were ourselves and treat them accordingly; we don’t want to destroy their bank accounts. In this industry, a lot of contractors leave things out, creating a lot of unexpected costs for the client down the road. We tell clients what they need to know, right off the bat. That makes us different–we’re looking to form a relationship with that client for the next 15 or 20 years.”

Formation of relationships is also reflected in PSI’s presence within the community, working with charities that serve the homeless, at-risk teenagers, and women in distress. “Not only do we provide financial support, but our team is engaged in the cause, as well,” says Souza. “We don’t just write a check.” With the volunteered help of PSI employees, PSI has put a roof on a property for His Caring Place, a group that helps pregnant teenagers, and has sponsored a 5K race for Taylor’s Closet, in which the staff also participates.

PSI has upgraded its virtual presence and looks to increase business by 10% to 15% in the near future. “Our clients, old and new, can navigate through our resources to see completed projects and become educated in the roofing process,” concludes Souza. “And when they do that, they’ll see that we bring more than just a roofing system–we bring value.”

About PSI Roofing

With the philosophy of “Integrity First,” PSI builds trusting relationships and maintains high moral and ethical standards. Committed to delivering the right roof for the client’s needs, PSI offers cost-effective solutions to roofing issues, with an emphasis on quality. Utilizing the best materials in the industry and a highly trained work force, the company ensures customer satisfaction for every project it works on.

Tecta America-CS of Lubbock, TX, has received GAF’s 2017 President’s Club Award. A GAF Master Select(TM) contractor, it is a firm specializing in various types of roofing, sheet metal, waterproofing, and roof-related specialties.

Lubbock, TX – June 27, 2017 –

Tecta America-CS of Lubbock, Texas, has received the most prestigious contractor award GAF offers: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes Tecta America-CS as one of the “elite of the elite” commercial roofing contractors in the United States.

GAF is North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, and only GAF Master Select(TM) Contractors can compete for its commercial President’s Club Award. To qualify for this award, a commercial roofing contractor must meet specific criteria in at least one out of three different pathways: the Performance pathway, where contractors focus on giving their property owners the best possible service, quality, and protection; the Reliability pathway, where the contractor has a long history of offering their customers the best quality and protection; and the Service pathway, where contractors consistently offer their customers the best protection available in the marketplace.

Tecta America-CS received the President’s Club Award due to its excellent performance in 2016. To become a Master Select(TM) Contractor–a status that less than 1% of roofing contractors nationwide are able to achieve–a candidate must demonstrate proper licensing, maintain insurance (in states that require it), have a proven reputation, and show commitment to ongoing professional training.

Having worked on the roofing projects of many organizations, Tecta America-CS empathizes with the roofing challenges that affect businesses and operations. The company prides itself on its ability to solve all manner of roofing problems, from the simple to the complex.

The company works with a variety of roofing types and systems, including built-up, metal, modified bitumen, single-ply membrane, and steep-slope roofs, as well as tapered insulation systems, waterproofing, roof coatings, and architectural sheet metal. Tecta America-CS’s services include roof replacements, new construction, preventative maintenance, repairs, emergency response, roof asset management, historic restoration, skylight/smoke hatch combinations, and snow removal.

Canine Behaviorist Bryan Bailey Announces New Book, The Hammer: Understanding & Preventing Canine Aggression

The book explains the most dominant tool in the wolf and dog’s bag of survival equipment – Aggression.

“There are so many myths about canine aggression which people need to learn.” says Bailey , “Since 2005, over 400 Americans have been killed and over 50 million have been treated in emergency rooms because they believed these myths. Sadly, most of these attacks could have been prevented, but because dog aggression is the most misinterpreted and misunderstood of all dog behaviors, these numbers are rising at a steady rate of 6% per year.”

Bailey continues, dog aggression or “The Hammer,” is a tool which has allowed for ingestion, digestion, reproduction and survival by wolves for thousands of years in a very hostile and competitive world and it was passed to our dogs. Its use by our dogs is often misinterpreted and misunderstood and this has led to an increase in avoidable attacks to dog owners and their children.”

The books goal is to educate readers on the real causes of dog aggression, how to recognize when an attack is imminent and how to avoid it.

Release for the book is scheduled for Fall of 2017.

Code Generation Support for Renesas R-Car D1 Announced by Altia and Green Hills Software

0
0

June 27, 2017 – Altia and Green Hills Software announce the new code generation support for the Renesas R-Car D1 using Altia HMI development software and Green Hills INTEGRITY real-time separation kernel with INTEGRITY Multivisor virtualization solution. This combination of technologies is already slated for production for numerous automotive instrument clusters.

The Renesas R-Car D1 series offers tremendous benefits for cluster systems, including enablement of 3D content, high-speed system start-up and functional safety mechanisms. At press time, the R-Car D1 can have either one or two ARM Cortex-A7 cores. To drive graphics, the R-Car D1 has both RGL and OpenGL ES 2.0 pipelines – both of which Altia leverages to deliver optimized graphics performance. Additionally, because the R-Car D1 includes the same 2D graphics system as the one used in the Renesas RH850/D1M, HMI development teams using Altia can easily migrate 2D graphics development assets and further develop 3D graphic assets for the R-Car D1.

The code generation target for Renesas R-Car D1 is tailored to run on the Green Hills INTEGRITY real-time separation kernel and INTEGRITY Multivisor. With this automotive-grade platform, embedded developers are ensured that their applications meet the highest possible security, reliability and performance standards. The INTEGRITY products isolate and protect embedded applications using a memory-partitioning architecture. Secure partitions are created, guaranteeing that each task has available the resources it needs to run correctly. These secure partitions fully protect the INTEGRITY operating system and native user tasks from safety and security threats like malicious code or guest OSs.

“The combination of Green Hills Software’s ISO 26262 and IEC 61508-certified INTEGRITY RTOS and Altia’s HMI development software and tuned code generation for the Renesas R-Car D1 enables Tier 1 developers to create world-class digital instrument clusters and progress into consolidated cluster plus IVI systems on a single SOC,” says Chris Tubbs, business development director, EMEA, Green Hills Software.

This version of Altia’s target for Renesas R-Car D1 is tuned to run on Green Hills INTEGRITY. To create an HMI for this target, Altia Design pulls together 2D and 3D graphic assets into a single model. Altia DeepScreen then generates production-ready C code that takes full advantage of the Green Hills RTOS and the on-chip assets of the R-Car D1. Altia’s focus on delivering the highest quality software – including company initiatives for ASPICE, MISRA and ISO 26262 – make Altia and Green Hills INTEGRITY a perfect pairing for automotive production.
