New Christian Based Rehabilitation Advice Service Rehab Palm Desert Opens its Doors Palm Desert

Palm Desert, CA – Rehab Palm Desert, a new Christian based drug, and alcohol referral service is delighted to announce that it is now officially open for business. The service has been designed and built from the ground up with the hope of directing people in need of help to the best facilities to enhance their chances of success.

Each person dealing with addiction has different issues, needs, and requirements, and with so many facilities available many addicts find the choice overwhelming. This results in them being paralyzed by the fear of making the wrong decision. The forward thinking company takes a modern approach to rehabilitation, and even has it’s own Facebook Profile and Google+ page, in order to reach more people whose lives might be blighted by addiction.

“Addiction regardless of the substance can be a cruel illness, that destroys lives, breaks families apart, and wreaks havoc with anyone who comes into contact with it,” said Shannon Martin of Rehab Palm Desert. “As a company, we have put a lot of time, thought and research into building what we believe is the perfect referral system to assist our clients in the battle with their addictions. This extends to our use of social media, as we honestly believe that regardless of how good any facility is, if people don’t know of your existence then they cannot benefit from it. The modern generation spends the majority of their time on the internet, which is why we decided to maintain and develop a presence online. We hope that as we assist more and more people, our website, and social media platforms, will be able to provide help and support for scared or worried individuals.”

Rehab Palm Desert is an organization set up to help people battling the demons of addiction. Their new referral service has been designed to provide a safe and supportive environment for people trying to deal with their addiction problems. The company follows a Christian ethos which also sets them apart from many of the other addiction services.

Turkey to see increased demand for teachers and teacher training

$

0

Istanbul, Turkey – 25 August, 2017 – The expected growth in Turkeys private education sector will see an increased demand for teachers and teacher training in the country.

The challenge will be a key issue that will be addressed as GESS, the leading global education conference and exhibition, holds its first edition in Turkey on 19-21 October at the WOW Istanbul Convention Centre.

According to Turkeys latest National Statistics Report (2016), the private education sector in Turkey is on the rise with 10, 525 schools, up 40% compared to the previous year, where around 1.2 million students are enrolled and employing close to 134,000 teachers.

This number is expected to increase as the Ministry of National Education, in an effort to improve access to education as well as enhance quality standards, is providing an incentive package for parents who would like to send their children to private schools. 

In addition, as part of the Turkish governments vision, the share of the number of private schools among the total number of schools is expected to increase to 15% in 2023, from its current level of 10%.

While the teacher-student ratio in private schools is low, expectations on the growth of the private primary and secondary education in Turkey will see an increased demand for new teachers; and the renewed call from various stakeholder groups in the country for better quality will require additional investments on teacher training, said Matt Thompson, Project Director, F&E Education, organisers of the GESS global series of education shows in Dubai, Indonesia, Mexico and now, for the first time, Turkey.

Experts estimate the teacher training sector will give rise to a $60 million-dollar industry in Turkey, with traditional education powerhouses such as Finland, Canada and the US are aggressively encouraging their private education stakeholders to explore new business opportunities in Turkey.

Aware of the serious challenge for teacher training, GESS Turkey has invited global experts to lead a number of professional enhancement workshops at the event, with global NLP guru David Hodgson leading several sessions on enhancing teaching skills and tapping neuroscience to help teachers improve their craft.

Interest is also high among local and international providers of education-focused products and solutions, as the burgeoning education market in Turkey is forecast to open up opportunities for new business for suppliers who are keen on entering or growing their existing business in the country.

Among those who have confirmed their participation to showcase their products and solutions at GESS Turkeys conference include Acer, leading global technology company supplying a range of computers and related gadgets; Sebit, an online training solutions provider for students and teachers with content that is in line with the ministry curriculum; Teknolist / Okulistik, which provides interactive books and test preparations; as well as software solutions supplier Inova 3D and leading publishers of education materials Ozer Yayinlari.

Azerbaijan-based School Management and Learning Systems, a software solutions provider for school management has also confirmed its participation, along with several firms from Korea, including robotics firms MRT International and Roborodo; and Youngil Education Digital System, suppliers of cutting-edge education equipment for vocational and automotive training.

GESS Turkeys conference programme will also feature Innovation Stage and Future Learning to showcase the latest trends and best practice in education with practical tips and demonstrations as well as presentations by leading experts to help schools and education professionals in Turkey improve quality standards.

The event is free-to-attend and those interested to register may do so online at www.gess-turkey.com.

Kettering, NN – Nothing boosts an online presence in today’s day and age like Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Regardless of the product or service, every type of business could benefit from being highly ranked in Google searches. It is important to note that most people nowadays do not bother to remember company details like telephone numbers or email addresses. Rather they rely on a Google search to pull relevant information about the company from the web. Kensington SEO knows this and in answer to the growing demands for reliable SEO services, they have launched a new link building service which places companies and businesses right in front of the clients who need them. The aim of the service is to put their clients on the first page of Google to make them relevant.

With years of experience in local SEO, professional SEO practices, and SEO consulting, the company’s new SEO link building service comes just in the nick of time to further expand the company’s scope of expertise. According to the company spokesman, Simon Kensington-Fellows, “link building is an essential process for someone who wants to increase traffic to their website.” It has become an imperative step in helping businesses achieve high search rankings organically especially considering that the more popular your site is the more diverse sites will link to it.

Since this freelance link building consultant in Kettering is already savvy in local SEO and topic-specific popularity, it is able to easily link build relevant topic-specific sites to their relevant clientele thus increasing the flow of traffic to that particular business. With link building, a website always has additional links that allow it to have fresh traffic at any given time. Even socially shared links are still recognized by search engine just as any other links to the site although they are categorized differently.

Kensington SEO also understands that link building is also the most challenging part of an SEO job. On the other hand, they also appreciate the creativity and uniqueness of each link building campaign. Thus, they take into account that the links used depend entirely on the website and the company’s voice. At Kensington SEO, the main types of link building acquisition strategies include natural editorial links, manual outreach link building, and self-created no editorial link building.

Tacoma, WA Ranger Heating and Cooling, a company known for providing a wide range of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Services to homes and commercial establishments has now opened its services for people in Tacoma, Washington, and other nearby areas.

The mission statement of the team at Ranger Heating & Cooling is to maintain and build a reputation for excellence among the people they work with.

Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning are primarily for health and comfort. This is because improper ventilation causes discomfort to people and it could also cause diseases to spring up as well. Not getting the proper heating in the winter season could eventually cause frost bites and/or hypothermia. On the other hand, not having the right ventilation during the hot summer seasons could cause pulmonary diseases and dehydration from excessive sweating. Moreover, improper and poor ventilation could also be the cause for airborne diseases to proliferate. This is the reason why a company like Ranger Heating & Cooling should be hired.

Ranger Heating and Cooling (http://www.rangerheating.com/) offers a wide variety of services, all of which are listed on their official website. These services include HVAC Financing and Full Service, Ductless Heat Pumps, High-Efficiency Furnace, Installation of A/C, RangerGuard, Trane Heat Pump, and a High-Efficiency Furnace.

[REVISED RELEASE:] Google & HubSpot Joining TBG Digital Marketing & Incept for Local Conference

This press release has been updated from a previous version with an incorrect URL.

CLEVELAND, OH – 25 Aug, 2017 – Two local companies, TBG Digital Marketing and Incept, have teamed up to host a regional marketing conference specifically for manufacturing companies. The conference will feature presentations from Google and HubSpot and the same agenda will be presented in two separate cities on consecutive days. The Cleveland conference will be held on October 11, 2017 in Club Velvet at the Hard Rock Rocksino. The Pittsburgh conference will be conducted in the MSA Auditorium at the RLA Learning and Conference Center. For more information or to register to attend, visit www.MarketingforManufacturers.us. Use the code PR10 to save $10 off registration.

“As a consulting firm, our niche is B2B manufacturing companies,” says TBG Digital Marketing owner, Gene Bonanno. “One thing we’ve come to find working with such clients is there’s a lack of resources – specifically regional events – for manufacturer specific marketing. Yet, this area has a ton of companies that still make something. In talking with Incept, who has a similar client base, they echoed our sentiments and the wheels started turning to co-sponsor an event that would fill this void. Together, we’re joining representatives from Google and HubSpot and centering all presentations on topics and case studies relevant to manufacturers. Our goal is to host a first-class educational experience that brings local manufacturers together to learn and network with industry thought leaders.”

The same conference will be presented in Cleveland and Pittsburgh each day. The conference will have a 9:30 am check-in, but officially kick off at 10:00 am and run until 4:30 pm. An hour has been set aside at the start to discuss goals and pain-points with attendees, so content can be tailored to meet their individual needs throughout the day.

Gene Bonanno, Digital Marketing Consultant and Owner of TBG Digital Marketing, will begin the day’s presentations with “Developing a Comprehensive Internet Marketing Strategy.” The session will cover the fundamental steps every manufacturing company should take to develop and implement an effective marketing plan. Prior to opening his company in 2004, Gene had over 20 years of experience as a consultant for IBM Global Services. He is HubSpot Inbound Certified, HubSpot Marketing Software Certified, HubSpot Sales Software Certified, and the firm is a HubSpot Certified Agency Partner. There are over 40,000 marketing agencies in the USA; Google provides direct support to less than 5% of them, TBG is one of those coveted agencies.

Dan Vivian, Senior Account Executive at HubSpot, will follow with a presentation on “HubSpot & Inbound Marketing.” HubSpot is a leader in marketing automation and sales software and Dan is responsible for providing skill transfer of their methodology to over 40 HubSpot Agency Partners.  Dan will provide a basic overview of Inbound Marketing and highlight the importance of Smarketing – the act of aligning marketing and sales teams together to increase revenue. He will then shift to HubSpot services geared specifically towards manufacturers. 

Sam Falletta, CEO of Incept, will help attendees bridge the gap between traditional marketing practices and today’s landscape – often a big challenge for manufacturers. His presentation, “Outbound to Inbound: Defining Your Strategy,” will also include a panel of local sales strategists. Sam has been responsible for the development and execution of successful customer acquisition and retention strategies for some of the largest brands in the world, including Microsoft, Ford, Honda, and the American Red Cross. Incept is a multi-channel contact center located in Canton,OH, focused on customer relationship management.

The last presentation of the day will feature two speakers from Google – Richard Rondon, Agency Development Manager, and Josh Weum, Digital Ambassador. Their presentation, “Business Development in the Digital Age,” will talk about why online, why now, and why Google. This is a unique opportunity to meet with Google representatives directly.

Each day will conclude with networking and one-on-one questions and answer sessions with speakers.

Miniatur Wonderland Hamburg ranked as Germany’s number one tourist attraction

HAMBURG, GERMANY – 25 Aug, 2017 – A tremendous honour for both Miniatur Wonderland and Hamburg / Germany: for the second consecutive year, international guests to Germany have voted Miniatur Wonderland, the world’s biggest model railway, the number one tourist attraction in Germany.

The survey was conducted by the German National Tourist Board (GNTB). Europapark Rust, an adventure park, was ranked second, and Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria came third. As a new entrant to the top 100, the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, which opened its gates only recently, shot in at 51st place.

The German National Tourist Board (GNTB) has been publishing its “Top 100 sights and attractions in Germany” ranking each year since 2012. International users of the GNTB website can enter the name of their favourite sight or attraction, and the results are compiled as part of the top 100 ranking. Between September 2016 and June 2017, some 32,000 users from over 60 countries took the opportunity to vote.

Miniatur Wonderland was first ranked number one in last year’s competition and is confirming its prime position yet again in 2017. The participants of the online survey voted Europapark Rust into second place, and third place went to Neuschwanstein Castle, followed by classic choices such as Lake Constance with its island of Mainau, the old town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, the old town of Dresden and the old town of Heidelberg with its castle.

The full ranking from the survey is available online at www.germany.travel/top100

As a supporting communication activity, Deutsche Welle is producing 360° videos of the top 10 sights and attractions.

Miniatur Wunderland – a must-see in Hamburg and Germany

The operators and creators behind Miniatur Wonderland, Gerrit and Frederik Braun, are delighted to receive this honour: “The last days have been pure madness for us. On 16 August, Miniatur Wonderland celebrated its 16th anniversary, and one day later we welcomed the 16 millionth visitor. And now, after merely 16 years in operation, we have been voted the most popular sight in Germany. For us, this is a modern-day fairy tale. We are confident that even in adulthood Miniatur Wonderland will continue to have the heart of a child and make people from around the world happy with its miniature world.”

The nine themed worlds of Miniatur Wonderland depict entire countries in miniature – with more than 15 kilometres of tracks, 15,000 locomotives and waggons, 215,000 figurines and 4,000 miniature houses. The range of countries includes Austria, the Nordic countries, the United States and, most recently, Italy, and is continuously being expanded. Located in the historic Speicherstadt warehouse district, a UNESCO World Heritage site, Miniatur Wunderland is a major attraction in Hamburg: www.miniaturwunderland.de

Elbphilharmonie Hamburg making its premiere

For the first time, Hamburg is featured with four attractions in the top 100 ranking. In addition to Miniatur Wunderland, the Speicherstadt, which is included in the UNESCO World Heritage list, is ranked 47th, the HafenCity Hamburg district and the St Pauli Fischmarkt hold the 62nd position. The new entrant, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, has been ranked 51st in the list of Germany’s most popular tourist attractions.

While the Elbphilharmonie concert hall opened only a few months ago, it is already  considered to be Hamburg’s new landmark. The spectacular wave-shaped glass facade towers 110 metres above the River Elbe and seems to be almost floating above the Kaispeicher, its historic redbrick base. The building includes three concert halls, a large music education area, a café and restaurant, a hotel and the Plaza – a public viewing platform at a height of 37 metres that offers a unique panoramic view of Hamburg. Within the first six months, the Plaza has attracted more than 2.5 million visitors. The official opening of the Elbphilharmonie on 11 and 12 January 2017 received worldwide attention, and in the first season alone, nearly 500,000 people enjoyed some 300 top-class concerts from various music genres: www.elbphilharmonie.de

Even at this stage, the Elbphilharmonie provides strong impetus for Hamburg’s tourism sector. According to data from the Northern Germany Statistical Office, Hamburg recorded 6.5 million overnight stays in the first half of 2017 – an increase of 5 percent or 325,000 overnight stays compared with the same period last year.

SAN FRANSISCO, CA – 25 Aug, 2017 – Theradome Inc., a leader in light-based therapy for hair restoration, marks National Hair Loss Awareness Month 2017 with an information and empowerment campaign for the nearly 30 million women in the United States who experience androgenetic alopecia, or hair loss. As part of the Hope After Hair Loss initiative, the goal is to reach 1 million women with a new “Hair Loss and Women: The Facts” infographic, which dispels common myths and misconceptions about female androgenetic alopecia and encourages women to seek a professional consultation to take action against the condition.

“Not Just for the Guys”

Female Pattern Hair Loss affects 1 in 6 women in their thirties and almost half of women in their sixties. Despite being this common, education and information about female androgenetic alopecia is scarce, particularly when compared to male pattern baldness. “It’s very important that women experiencing hair loss see a positive, empowering message,” says Theradome’s CEO, Tamim Hamid. “This starts with real, helpful information about the signs and causes of hair loss and continues with the knowledge that there are experienced professionals out there who can help.”

“You’re Not Alone”

A critical message of the Hope After Hair Loss campaign is that women who experience hair loss are not alone. Tens of millions of women in the United States share this experience. Further, modern medical technology offers a number of safe, effective and reliable ways to address the issue head-on. “We’ve had the honor to work with some of the most experienced and dedicated hair restoration professionals in the world. If there is one important message for this Hair Loss Awareness Month, it’s that help is available. There are thousands of professionals available and ready to help and it’s up to you to take the first step and pick up the phone.”

More information and the campaign infographic can be found here: Theradome.com [ http://bit.ly/2w3WMTi ]

BirthControlApp.com Launches in North Carolina, Offers Free Birth Control for New Users

CHARLOTTE, NC – 25 Aug, 2017 – Nurx is a telemedicine startup, based in San Francisco, focused on making birth control, as well as Truvada for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) more accessible to everyone through an app. With the app, users can get a prescription from a doctor and have their medication delivered right to their door. Nurx launched the birth control app and service in North Carolina on Tuesday, August 22, 2017.

A 2015 Guttmacher Institute report showed that 54% of all pregnancies in Texas were unplanned in 2010, costing taxpayers $858 million that year. However, according to a separate Guttmacher Institute report, the total gross public savings from preventing unintended pregnancies would have been over $632 million if women and couples could be empowered to prevent them.

Making contraception more accessible is one major way to reduce unintended pregnancies. According to the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), “The most effective way to reduce abortion rates is to prevent unintended pregnancy by improving access to consistent, effective, and affordable contraception.”

“Research shows that the easier and more affordable birth control is, the more women will use it,” said Hans Gangeskar, cofounder and CEO of Nurx. Nurx’s birth control app makes this a reality, by reducing the barriers to access often times at little or no cost to the patient.

How the App Works:

The app works for both new and existing birth control users and the service and shipping are often free to anyone with health care coverage. For uninsured patients, Nurx can connect the user with some brands for as low as $15, and delivery is still free.

After choosing their birth control type and brand, users answer a medical questions online, and then enter their shipping and insurance information for a licensed physician to review. Once the review is complete, the doctor will issue and fill the prescription, which will be delivered to their home at no additional cost.

For North Carolina residents who do not have health insurance, the company is also giving away a $30 credit for free birth control through the app. This equates to up to two months of birth control for free, depending on the brand selected. Users will simply enter the promo code ‘NORTHCAROLINA’ at checkout to get this deal.

According to Nurx’s Medical Director, Dr. Jessica Knox, “Women should not have to jump through unnecessary hoops just to access birth control. The pill remains available by prescription only throughout the United States today, but with our app, we’re making birth control more accessible than ever.”

“With our app, we are allowing women to access their birth control on their own terms,” said Engesaeth, a medical doctor and cofounder of Nurx.

About Nurx

Nurx is a telemedicine startup based in San Francisco, CA, focusing on making PrEP and birth control more accessible to everyone through their app. With the app, users can get a prescription from a doctor and have their medication delivered right to their door. The app is currently available in North Carolina, Texas, California, New York, Washington state, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Virginia, Florida, Missouri, Michigan, Minnesota, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia. Nurx also plans to expand to more than 20 states in the coming weeks. With the rapid expansion, Nurx is currently hiring full-stack, front-end, and dev-ops engineers, who are also passionate about increasing access to health care. Nurx engineers will be foundational architects in building the tools and systems needed in a new model of health care access around the world.

Leading US Tarps Supplier Stockpiled For Texas Hurricane

AUSTIN, TEXAS – 25 Aug, 2017 – Owner Michael Stein of Leading US tarps supplier Tarps Plus has been planning for a Texas Hurricane for over 8 years.  Originally from California, Stein decided to move his tarp company to the gulf region to supply the high demand for hurricane tarps in the area. 

He moved the company from Palmdale California to Georgetown Texas, just outside of Austin.  A massive facility was built and dozens of shipping containers were staged outside the warehouse in the wake of a hurricane.  With the exception of a few close calls, the Continental United States has not seen a significant hurricane hit landfall in over 10 years until this week. 

Hurricane Harvey has hit the Texas Gulf and Tarps Plus has now been working around the clock to fulfill orders for thousands of tarps for the region.  “This was our vision years ago; to be the nation’s premiere source of tarps and strategically positioned to get them to people in need fast.”

Tarps Plus will be operating 24 hours a day fulfilling orders for the natural disaster.

DENVER, COLORADO – 25 Aug, 2017 – We strongly believe when we present positive and thought-provoking phrases, people will begin to ponder what they have read.  Slowly, like ridding the body of a disease, the mind begins to feed on the new and destroy the old way of thinking, along with the deploring words embedded in our minds. 

One of our phrases say it best, “What if I were you and you were me? Equality.”  The wise Albert Einstein said, “The world as we have created it, is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.”  Einstein is right, we must change our thinking if we want to make a complete change in the way we view each other in our vast world. America sets the standard and like the Mile High City, the world is watching us; change must first begin at home.

We are constantly pondering and creating phrases that will make a positive impact on people everywhere.  Our best effort is printing our phrases on tee shirts, hats, mugs, and hoodies, just to name a few. In today’s world, people are looking for ways to heal their minds, searching for positive messages, motivations and inspirations that will assist in changing their lives for the better. As mentioned before, the timing is perfect for the launching of, A Higher Phase, LLC with the assistance of Kickstarter and Shopify. 

We call our thought-provoking phrases, word art and as the universe brings forth word art through nature, to rejuvenate and revitalize the mind, body and spirit, thus is the effect of wearing our t-shirts.  The universe vibrates as we project and nourish it as a unified body declaring, “I Am Not a Minority, I Am Not the Majority, I Am Equal!”  Come wear the change!

As a silvery streak across the sky, ENLIGHTEN STRIKES HERE! 

“Better than you lives in darkness; equality lives in brightness; where do you live?”

Encore Roofing of Buford, GA, has received GAF’s 2017 President’s Club Award. A GAF Master Select(TM) contractor, it is a leader in providing dependable, economical roof systems that are delivered in a timely, professional, and safe manner.

Buford, GA – August 25, 2017 – Encore Roofing, Inc., of Buford, Georgia, has received the most prestigious contractor award GAF offers: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes Encore 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.

Encore Roofing 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.

After many years of steady growth, Woodall Roofing was sold to its current owner, Jim Nichols. He saw an opportunity to grow the business into a nationwide company. This vision has allowed the company, now operating as Encore Roofing, to navigate industry and economic challenges and expand its size, customer base, and coverage area. As Encore Roofing, the company has continued to provide great services to its customers while also continually raising the bar in the roofing industry.

The company performs installation, repairs, maintenance, and inspections for TPO, PVC, EPDM and traditional asphalt roofing systems. It also offers services in precision sheet metal fabrication and provides roof inspection reports that can be used to help building owners and managers stay up to date on the condition of their buildings’ roofing systems. Encore Roofing is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau.

Encore Roofing has received several professional certifications from GAF. 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, Encore Roofing 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.

With a full-service department that is able to perform emergency repairs, routine maintenance, visual inspections, and infrared surveys, Encore Roofing is the go-to choice for all roofing needs. Encore Roofing’s goal is to consistently provide a great finished product while exceeding customers’ expectations throughout the process.

Over 100 prone paddleboarders will compete in the 32 mile Catalina Classic Paddleboard Race, to be held Sunday, August 27. The Classic is paddleboarding’s longest distance and oldest established race.

The race starts at 6 a.m. at Two Harbors on Catalina Island and ends at the Manhattan Beach pier. Top paddlers are expected to finish the race in just over five hours. The record is five hours, two  minutes and 12 seconds, set in 1999 by Los Angeles County Lifeguard Tim Gair. Finishing times vary significantly depending on the wind, current, swells and tide. Paddlers race prone or on their knees, using only their arms. The narrow, carbon fiber boards range from 12 feet (stock division) to 18 feet (unlimited division).

The inaugural Catalina Classic took place in 1955. Legendary big wave surfer Ricky Grigg won the race in eight hours, 24 minutes and 17 seconds. Two other big wave legends competing that year were George Downing, who won the Makaha International big wave surf contest the previous year and Greg Noll, who pioneered surfing Waimea’s big waves in 1957.

Australia big wave rider Jamie Mitchell, winner of 10 consecutive Molokai Channel Paddleboard races, won the Catalina Classic in 2002. Olympic silver medalist swimmer (Sydney, 2000) and Los Angeles County Lifeguard Chad Carvin won the race in 2008.

This year’s top Catalina Classic contenders include 2016 men’s unlimited winner Max First, 2016 stock winner Lachie Lansdown, and 2016 women’s winner Abby Brown. First is a Los Angeles County Lifeguard from Manhattan Beach. Lansdown is a professional paddler from Australia. Brown is a professional surfer from Santa Barbara and winner of the 2016 Molokai 2 Oahu Paddleboard race. Though new to paddling this year, Beijing Olympics gold medalist and American 100 meter freestyle record holder David Walters could add another top finish to his list of achievements.

LOS ANGELES, CA – 28 Aug, 2017 – Artist and Actress Maya J (Maya Jenkins), announces the release of her sophomore single, “Come Find Me”. The young talented pop songstress shows off more of her brilliant vocals, sultry attitude, and songwriting skills on the new record. This up-tempo, electro-R&B torch song was written and composed by Maya J in its entirety – about the hope that a potential cosmic soul mate will find their match. The song is tender yet danceable, and it is written in a minor key, giving it an extra breath of sensual romance.

Fans & reviewers have compared this record’s sound to the styles of music released by artists such as The Weeknd, Camila Cabello, Rihanna, Sia, and remarkably, the renowned Sade. Come Find Me fits perfectly within a playlist of modern electronic R&B-Pop songs by popular artists such as Rihanna, Zayn, Selena Gomez, Camilla Cabello, and Ariana Grande. It also fits within a mix of smooth alternative-pop records, such as those by Sia and Lana Del Rey.  

“Come Find Me” will be available on August 31, 2017 via Apple Music, iTunes, Google Play Music, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Pandora Radio, Youtube, Rhapsody, Tidal, and Amazon. Right now, it is available for pre-order on iTunes up until its official release date of August 31st

“ ‘Come Find Me’ is my second single, and more up-tempo than what I’m used to singing… I can’t wait for people to hear it. Since I wrote it last year, the song has gone through multiple versions and multiple stages before finally coming to this. “Come Find Me” will hopefully be someone’s new favorite song – I am SO excited and thankful for this new chapter for me in music.” — Maya J
