What Are the Main Advantages of Using Online Car Insurance Quotes

August 13, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Compare-autoinsurance.org (https://compare-autoinsurance.org/) announces a new blog post, “The Pros Of Using Auto Insurance Quotes Online”

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains the benefits drivers gain when using online car insurance quotes.

For more info and free online quotes, please visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/the-pros-of-using-auto-insurance-quotes-online/

The internet has changed the way people select and purchase their products. Everything is simpler and more convenient. These radical changes also applied to the car insurance industry. The methods used by drivers to search and buy car insurance are now different than the methods used before the appearance of the internet.
The main reasons for using online quotes are the following:

  • Online quotes can be obtained at any time. Obtaining and comparing online quotes can be done from anywhere and at any time. Drivers are no longer required to go from one insurance company physical location to another to gain a few quotes. To obtain multiple online car insurance quotes, drivers only need a stable internet connection.
  • Online quotes are free. Both brokerage and insurers websites are offering free online quotes. Drivers don’t have to pay a car insurance agent in order to get a few quotes.
  • Online quotes are very accurate. The rates calculators used by insurance companies can offer really accurate quotes. To be that precise, these rates calculator use statistical models, sophisticated algorithms and economical data. However, an online quote can only be accurate if the data provided by a user is also accurate.
  • Obtain access to several discounts. While completing an online questionnaire, drivers can gain access to several discounts. The online form can promote a bundling discount to those who bundle their car insurance with home insurance. But that’s not the only discount that can be promoted on an online questionnaire. Multi-car policy discount, safety gear discount, low-mileage discount, or good driver discount are just a few of the discounts that can be promoted.
  • Online quotes can help drivers to decide if it’s time to switch their carriers. Drivers should obtain quotes and compare quotes at least two times per year. Drivers who notice that the average price of the compared quotes is way lower than the current insurance prices should contact their insurers and demand an explanation. If the explanation is not plausible, then drivers should switch their insurers.

For additional info, money-saving tips and free car insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/

Compare-autoinsurance.org is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website. On this site, customers have access to quotes for insurance plans from various agencies, such as local or nationwide agencies, brand names insurance companies, etc.

ClearSight Announces Release of New Job Platform Based on Cryptocurrency

August 12, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Cryptocurrency pioneers have goal to release entire employment solution platform in Q1 2022

ClearSight has announced the launch of its new blockchain platform for the freelance sector. ClearSight is a global freelance platform offering freelance employment solutions based on the utilization of legitimate, reliable, de-centralized technology.

Blockchain and smart contracts form the basis of the interactive platform. The new rollout is designed to help employers identify and hire freelance professionals who fit available job requirements and vice versa. The ClearSight ecosystem is backed up with a BSC-based token, allowing an ideal user experience among its members.

There will be a wallet registered as the referenced address. The address will be connected to a unique gig and freelancers will also be able to verify an employer review that shows reliability, solvency, how the employer treats workers and whether payment amounts are as expected. Every profile will be verified and identified by blockchain, eliminating hacking, fraud or theft.

“At ClearSight we are committed to reducing these fees with blockchain technology to create a better future for freelancers. Our user-friendly platform allows gig workers to easily access their money using a Visa Debit Card,’ said a spokesperson for ClearSight. “Freelancers are given a portal and a digital identity, with which they can manage their professional profiles. The dedicated and secure system protects people from theft and fraud. With over 21 billion exchangeable tokens, ClearSight offers relatively lower transaction costs that are extremely safe and fast.”

The freelance sector works in almost every industry, attracting a remote workforce. Freelancers use their own mobile IT devices and services. Yet, when these freelancers are to be paid, delivery of payment solutions, identity and high transaction fees give freelancers pause as to how much they really receive per hour compared to what they originally expected.

ClearSight is dedicated to helping freelancers because it understands how freelancers have been tormented by freelance gig websites taking an unfair, huge commission fee or percentage of their income. More of a freelancer’s income can be taken if a gig service is subcontracted by employers registered through yet another freelance website. When it comes to cryptocurrency, users need to pay only a network fee. This fee is considerably lower on the BSC network as compared to other networks and these networks are faster.

Freelancers make up 57% of the active workers in the United States and over 50% of millennials have joined the gig economy. In Europe, as of 2017, over 9 million professionals were working as freelancers. This is an increase of 126% of workers transitioning from a traditional workforce to a freelance paradigm. Employers can now attract global talent and manage administrative requirements without the cost of HR overhead. There also is no need for third-party recruiting costs.

ClearSight is protecting freelancers with:

Data Ownership – User data such as certificates, ratings and reviews will be stored on the BCS blockchain. Users will always own their unique profile data.

Copywriting – The BSC profile provides a proof of work algorithm for freelancers by imprinting every creation in its token, giving all rights to the freelance client. It will also feature an automatic escrow payment, designed to give clients an exclusive right to a particular delivery.

Transaction Fees – ClearSight will use tokens. For international transactions, the use of blockchain smart contracts will stop reliance on banks and other intermediaries. For freelancers, using tokens reduces transaction fees and platform costs.

The spokesperson explained, “We believe that the newest challenge and trend in the workforce and corporations is peer-to-peer collaboration. Is the employee reliable with appropriate credentials and able to meet deadlines? Is an employer financially solvent and able to pay for the work, or will the gig worker be “stiffed”, as some famous contractors have done; contractors whom have never paid for good, honest work rendered on behalf of an employer?”

The ClearSight platform DAPPs will help freelancers to display proof of their records and reviews from previous employers. The entire process will be stored on the blockchain. The company aims to redefine the employment sector with the integration of blockchain technology, ensuring data verification and transparency for both employers and freelancers.

For more information, visit clearsight.finance. The ClearSight team will be exhibiting the platform at Crypto Expo Dubai 2021 this October 13-14.

FlipServe Announces the Launch of its Multi-Cloud Platform to Provide Businesses and Developers With AWS, Azure, and GCP Servers at More Affordable Prices

August 12, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

FlipServe announces the launch of its multi-cloud platform. With FlipServe, users can access cloud servers from Azure, AWS and Google Cloud Platform at a substantially lower price than buying directly or through system integrators.

FlipServe today announces the launch of its multi-cloud platform to provide developers, small and medium-sized businesses access to premium cloud servers at competitive prices. FileServe offers users access to AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) servers for 30% less than users would pay directly to AWS, Azure, or GCP. FileServe also provides users free standard service (monitoring, VM back up, network security, etc.) for each server.

Thanks to FlipServe’s competitive server pricing and complimentary service, companies and developers can do more for less. The platform offers solutions for cloud migration, Kubernetes, ransomware protection backup, identity management, high availability and disaster recovery along with multiple versions of Operating System images (OS collections), pre-configured application images (Developer collections), and SAP systems (SAP collections). Developers and businesses can choose from FlipServe’s library of pre-configured apps and services, select configuration options, and simply click buy. After purchasing a server each user has access to a dashboard breaking down usage and costs. Users of FlipServe, will appreciate the cost-effectiveness, simplicity, transparency of the platform.

“Our mission is to give developers and businesses access to premium cloud servers, apps and services at the most competitive prices”, said Ganesh Radhakrishnan, Founder of FlipServe. “With our competitive pricing, multi-cloud offerings, and user interface, we have built flexibility, simplicity, and transparency into the FlipServe platform.”

The global pandemic that started almost a year and a half ago disrupted every facet of life from the workplace to day-to-day activities many previously took for granted. In the business world, the pandemic and the resulting global recession cut IT budgets. With diminished IT budgets, the demand for IT “to do more with less” has only increased. FlipServe aims to meet this demand with its multi-cloud platform.

“We have all been challenged by the global pandemic and it has pushed many of us –businesses and individuals alike—to adapt and innovate. Cloud solutions and services enable businesses and developers to accelerate innovation. And this is the reason why we saw an acceleration of cloud adoption amid the pandemic. Here at FlipServe, we want to help more developers and organizations increase their capacity to innovate while keeping their costs as low as possible,” said Ganesh.

Hartman Earns Excellence in Net Promoter Score for Tenant Satisfaction

August 12, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Hartman, a leading owner and operator of commercial real estate assets in Texas, announces that it has earned the high-ranking Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 60.

 Hartman Income REIT Management Inc., a leading owner and operator of 60 commercial real estate assets in Texas, announces that it has earned the high-ranking Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 60 from its surveyed tenants. The score is considered excellent based on global NPS standards.

NPS is a market research tool used to gauge the loyalty of a company’s customers. Hartman tenants are prompted to complete a voluntary survey that asks respondents to rate their likelihood of recommending the company.

For the sixth consecutive survey since Q3 2018, the Hartman Management Team has increased its NPS score. A positive upswing in Hartman’s NPS score firmly reflects the company’s commitment to uphold its core values. Hartman’s tenant mix include thousands of small businesses and some of the nation’s most recognized brands, including Oracle, Gulf Interstate, Chase Bank, Chuck E. Cheese, Aldi, and Floor and Décor.

“We are thrilled to receive such high NPS scores from our tenants. The accolade is a testament to how hard our Property Management Team works to deliver top notch customer service and how sincerely we care about the experience our tenants have in our buildings. At Hartman we strive for nothing but the gold standard,” commented Angel Gonzales, Hartman’s VP of Property Management.

According to ClearlyRated.com, compared to other top commercial real estate firms, Hartman’s NPS results rank Hartman in the top 6% of all commercial real estate companies participating in the survey, and benchmarked the firm significantly higher than the average commercial real estate firm score of 43. For wider context, Honda, a highly trusted car manufacturer, received a Net Promoter Score of 49. Intel, a tech giant known for reliable computer hardware and software systems, earned a Net Promoter Score of 52.

Describing the firms excellent Net Promoter Score, Al Hartman, President and CEO, shared, “Our team here at Hartman takes customer service very seriously. Different from other commercial real estate firms, we are vertically integrated and manage everything in-house. This has allowed us to stay hyper-focused on our tenant’s needs and maintain a superior white glove service standard.”

Seven of Hartman’s 60 commercial properties received perfect accolades from its tenants. These properties were Hartman’s office buildings 7915 FM 1960, Timbercreek, 1400 Broadfield, Hartman’s retail properties Haute Harwin, One Mason, and Fondren, and one industrial property, Richardson Tech Center. The tenant’s stories highlighted that Hartman has “brought to life” the company’s culture and commitment to white-glove service. One such tenant remarked, “I have had nothing but GREAT experiences since I leased my office! The management goes out of their way to accommodate my needs. They also find plenty of ways to show their appreciation to the tenants,” shared Bridgette Rubin, an office tenant of Hartman’s.

If you are looking to lease office, retail, or industrial space in Houston, Dallas or San Antonio, please contact a Hartman leasing agent for more information. A leasing representative can be reached by phone at 800-880-2212 or by email at leasing@hi-reit.com.

Wichita State University’s Office of Tech Transfer and Commercialization partners with Innosphere Ventures to support faculty commercialization efforts

August 11, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Kansas research university joins Innosphere’s University Partner Program to accelerate innovation and entrepreneurship

Innosphere Ventures, the Colorado-based incubator and commercialization program that accelerates the business success of science and technology-based startup companies, has announced a partnership with the Office of Tech Transfer and Commercialization (TTC) at Wichita State University (Wichita State) to support the university’s economic development efforts and to help faculty commercialize technologies.

Wichita State serves as Kansas’ only urban-serving research university. “We’re partnering with Innosphere because they’re a subject matter expert on working with faculty inventors to commercialize technologies,” said Rob Gerlach, Executive Director of the Office of Tech Transfer and Commercialization. “Building relationships with industry partners is key to successfully transferring technology into the commercial marketplace. Wichita State works closely with local, regional and national entities to accelerate discovery and innovation, and we’re excited to have Innosphere as a new partner that can help us bring cutting-edge technology to the commercial marketplace.”

Innosphere’s University Partner Program works directly with technology transfer offices at leading research universities across a multi-state region to connect inventors with business drivers, facilitate introductions to corporate partners, advance technologies to commercialization, and turn startups into high-growth businesses.

“Moving an invention from the lab to the marketplace and forming a successful company can be daunting, so we’re excited to be a resource for Wichita State’s technical founders and faculty as they commercialize technologies and bring ideas to life,” said Mike Freeman, CEO of Innosphere Ventures. “Wichita State’s tech transfer office meets at the junction of academics and industry, creating a unique innovation effort that is focused on researching and solving industry-focused, real-world problems.”

Innosphere Ventures recently released the Kansas Venture Capital Ecosystem Review which covers investment trends shaping the state’s venture ecosystem and reveals challenges for up-and-coming innovation hotspots such as Kansas. The report suggests that the Kansas startup ecosystem has rebounded since the pandemic year, with very strong venture capital activity in the first half of 2021.

Acuity Brands Filtered Far-UVC Module With Ushio Care222 Technology is the First to Be UL Certified

August 11, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Certification paves the way for incorporating Ushio’s Care222 technology in wide range of Acuity Brands products that will treat pathogens in occupied spaces

Ushio America, Inc. (‘Ushio’; http://www.ushio.com) announced today that its strategic partner Acuity Brands Lighting, Inc. (NYSE:AYI) (‘Acuity Brands’) has successfully secured a certification by UL LLC for the combination of Ushio Care222® filtered Far UV-C technology with Acuity Brand’s newly developed (patent-pending) UV dosing controls. This is the first germicidal UV (GUV) source in the wavelength range 200-230 nm (i.e., ‘far-UVC’) to be UL LLC Certified to meet U.S. and Canadian standards for germicidal equipment for use in occupied spaces. When properly installed and administered, the module is in the Exempt risk group for photobiological hazards, as described in the IEC 62471:2006, Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems.

The UL Recognized Component certification paves the way for incorporating Ushio’s Care222 technology into a variety of Acuity Brands LED lighting products, which will be fully UL Certified to deliver a measured 222nm UVC dosage with people present. These lighting products provide a 222nm UVC dosage that can effectively target pathogens1 throughout the day in occupied spaces such as schools, hospitals, manufacturing, hospitality and retail while maintaining a natural-looking light emittance.

Shinji Kameda, COO of Ushio America, Inc., stated, ‘The development of the world’s first UL listed Far UV-C incorporated lighting fixtures is a major achievement for both Acuity Brands and Ushio and is a huge step forward for the lighting industry in recognizing the adoption of filtered Far UV-C light for disinfection* in occupied spaces. Ushio is honoured to be a part of this development project and will strive to continually improve and evolve our Care222 technology in collaboration with our partners to help in the fight against current and future pandemics.’

Ushio’s Care222 technology uses filtered excimer lamps to generate 222nm Far UV-C light. The mercury-free excimer lamps feature a specially designed short pass filter, based on groundbreaking research and technology developed by Columbia University, which filters out longer UV wavelengths that are potentially harmful to humans. The result is a narrow band 222nm wavelength of UV light that can inactivate viruses and bacteria, effectively preventing them from replicating. Without this filter, excimer lamps would need to deliver much lower doses of UV to work within established exposure guidelines, which means they would not work as quickly.

‘The certification of the Care222 module for use in lighting products in occupied spaces is the result of rigorous testing and evaluation performed by UL scientists working together with research and development teams from Acuity Brands and Ushio America, Inc. in what has become a breakthrough category in GUV product development. The certification process followed by UL included an assessment against IEC 62471 for the GUV module when installed and used according to instructions,’ said Ron Schimmelpfenning, Vice President-Design Solutions, Acuity Brands Lighting, Inc.

Results from laboratory testing and clinical studies suggest that the filtered Far UV-C light emitted from the Care222 lamp can reduce known viruses and other pathogens, including the SARS-CoV-22 on surfaces and in air. When used within appropriate parameters, the 222nm wavelength emitted from the Care222 lamp inactivates viruses and bacteria at energy levels that do not penetrate living tissue in the skin or beyond the tear layer in the eyes, allowing spaces in which the lamps are used to remain occupied during use. In contrast, possible acute and chronic damage to eyes and skin may result from the more generally employed 254nm UV wavelength used in many germicidal lamps unless they are used under conditions that sharply limit human exposure.

An important part of the integration of Care222 technology into Acuity Brand’s lighting fixtures was the creation of patent-pending UV dosing controls by Acuity Brands. These electronic controls allow for highly precise administration of UVC doses to target pathogens1 in occupied or unoccupied spaces. The completed module is an outgrowth of the 2020 strategic alliance agreement between Acuity Brands and Ushio that granted Acuity Brands exclusive rights in North America to incorporate Ushio’s Care222 Far UV-C disinfection technology into Acuity Brands luminaires.

Acuity Brands is now in the process of seamlessly incorporating the Care222 Far UV-C disinfection modules in familiar luminaires and stand-alone products from its multiple lighting brands, creating a full lineup of UL Certified far-UVC-enabled luminaires featuring Care222 products from Ushio.

For more information about the properties of 222nm UV light, Care222 excimer lamps, and products using these disinfection technologies, please visit the new Care222 website.

For more information on the full line of Acuity Brands Care222 Fixtures, visit Acuity Brands.

1 Refer to product specification sheets at acuitybrands.com/UV-Products for efficacy claims and claim substantiation regarding specific products and pathogens.

2 In a 2020 study, Hiroshima University confirmed that under laboratory conditions, a dose of 3 mJ/cm2 of 222nmUVC irradiation, with an exposure time of 30 seconds inactivated 99.7% of SARS-CoV-2 on a surface. Ushio’s Care222 UV-C disinfection module was placed 24 cm above the surface of the plates in which the viral samples were placed. To read study: Effectiveness of 222-nm ultraviolet light on disinfecting SARS-CoV-2 surface contamination.

*All references to ‘disinfection’ are referring generally to bioburden reduction and are not intended to refer to any specific definition of the term as may be used for other purposes by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Bioburden reduction is a function of fixture run time, distance to the UV light source, airflow, room size and/or other factors, and the level of reduction will vary within a specific space. Neither the disinfection technology as incorporated in Acuity Brands products nor the Ushio Care222 products themselves are intended for use as a medical device or for the disinfection of medical devices.

Humantelligence Partners with Beyond Remotely to Better Support Organizations Shifting to Hybrid Work Models

August 10, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Global training marketplace Fluenzy and Culture-as-a-Service software provider Humantelligence partner to offer individualized, adaptive training journeys that support hybrid work models.

Humantelligence (HT), a pioneer in culture intelligence, recently partnered with Beyond Remotely’s Fluenzy — an online marketplace offering courses and world-class consultants to enable enterprises to reskill their workforces to meet the challenges of the new Future of Work/hybrid office. With the market predicted to reach over $400 billion by 2027, the needs of the Global Corporate Retraining market continue to evolve, fueled by the growing importance of personalized adaptive online micro training — the key driver for a partnership between a global training marketplace like Fluenzy and Humantelligence.

As the fastest, most comprehensive self-assessment tool in the market, Humantelligence measures 28 psychometric characteristics in just under 12 minutes — helping people quickly and easily understand the what, why, and how of their work — through actionable insights into their communication, leadership, teaching and learning styles, as well as motivations and behaviours. Fluenzy is launching the first global professional online training that addresses the ever-changing intricacies of the new hybrid work environment and provides access to a global network of business consultants in order to help enterprises better navigate the challenges in front of them. With Humantelligence, Fluenzy offers better personalization of its course options and consulting services.

“At Fluenzy, we understand that in the increasingly complex world of the Future of Work, technology such as Zoom, Webex, Microsoft Teams and other platforms connect devices to devices, but do not build the person-to-person connection,” said Jeff Kahn, founder and CEO of Beyond Remotely. “Our goal is to help people and organizations succeed in a continuously evolving work environment. We believe that the data from Humantelligence will be a critical and unique way to develop individualized, adaptive training journeys, including tailored micro-courses, consultant advice and certification in a single marketplace dedicated to the Future of Work. This partnership lays a strong foundation for helping both organizations and individuals thrive in hybrid work environments.”

Humantelligence is the leading cloud-based platform for the accurate measurement of culture, from individuals and teams to overall corporate culture. It provides the culture and talent intelligence needed to measure, manage, and hire for fit, optimize collaboration while reducing turnover, and build engaged high-performing teams across the organization. What sets Humantelligence apart is its ability to leverage emotional intelligence (EQ) data to empower more inclusive communication and effective collaboration.

In leveraging insights from talent profiles to intentionally build a culture that supports remote and hybrid work models, clients — including Lyft, Bank of the West, Ashley Furniture, AFLAC and others — have improved performance, team collaboration and the customer experience.

“This partnership reinforces our deep commitment to helping people discover the roles and companies that best align with their cognitive behaviours, motivators, and ideal work styles,” said Juan Betancourt, CEO of Humantelligence. “It’s a privilege to serve the Beyond Remotely community because when people better understand their success factors and are more deeply engaged in their work, they’re able to collaborate more effectively and perform better, while organizations reduce turnover, improve productivity, and strengthen culture — it’s a win-win for everyone.”

The partnership with Beyond Remotely supports Humantelligence’s broader vision to empower people and companies with the data needed to make meaningful improvements across all levels of an organization.

Healthcare Real Estate Developer Joe Simone Sees Boom in ‘Medispas’ Spurring Medical Office Makeovers

August 9, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Healthcare real estate developer Joseph Simone foresees big investment in medical office makeovers as doctors jump on the medical spa bandwagon.

Healthcare real estate developer Joseph Simone foresees big investment in medical office makeovers as doctors jump on the medical spa bandwagon.

“A national boom in consumer demand for medispas has medical practices and hospitals turning to real estate developers for new locations or renovations of existing offices, lounges and treatment rooms to deliver a spa environment,” said Joe Simone, President of Simone Development Companies.“Consumers willing to spend big money on cosmetic lasers, injections and other elective procedures expect new levels of comfort from their providers.”

A recent article in Medical Economics estimated that the medical spa market is expected to reach $33.9 billion by 2026, with a compound annual growth ratio of 13.8%.

“Once the realm of estheticians and dermatologists, medical spas are increasingly seen by medical practices and hospitals as a revenue stream that allows established healthcare groups to bring their brand recognition to a booming field,” said Joseph Simone.

Big retailers are also jumping on the medispa bandwagon. Earlier this year, Jack Nathan Health, a company that operates medical clinics inside Walmarts in Canada and Mexico, announced that it is expanding to eight more Walmarts in Canada to offer cosmetic injections, including Botox.

“The growing interest in wellness and self-care means that medical providers must reevaluate sterile medical office environments,” said Joe Simone. “Simone Development Companies is ready to partner with medical groups to design successful medical spas.”

Simone Development Companies is a fully integrated private real estate investment and development company that acquires and develops healthcare, mixed-use, commercial, industrial, retail and residential properties. Headquartered at the Hutchinson Metro Center, it boasts a portfolio of over seven million square feet throughout the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, Long Island, Westchester, Orange and Fairfield Counties and New Jersey. With services spanning acquisition, development, construction, finance, asset management, accounting, leasing and property management, Simone Development Companies is set apart by its creatively oriented management team, long-term asset ownership and its pursuit of visionary development.
