The 2016 – 2019 Genesis G90 Is Crowned 2021 WheelsTV POV of the Year

December 16, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

At the twelfth annual WheelsTV POV of the Year judging, the 2016 – 2019 Genesis G90 luxury sedan takes the Platinum Wheel.

The joy of vehicle ownership can be an illusive feeling that quickly wanes with each expensive trip to the repair shop or aching back after a long cross-country road-trip. To find a vehicle that still makes us smile even after thousands of miles behind the wheel can be as rare as finding a diamond ring on a sandy beach. Undeterred, we embarked upon this quest a dozen years ago with the institution of the WheelsTV POV of the Year award or POVY.

While many awards are given to new vehicles as they roll off the assembly line, to be named the WheelsTV POV of the Year, each vehicle must prove its exceptional value after thousands of miles of day-to-day service on North America’s roads. The pre-owned vehicle that receives this accolade must have been in service for at least two years, must demonstrate outstanding long-term reliability and must achieve exceptional levels of consumer satisfaction.

Selecting the WheelsTV POV of the Year is a multi-step process. The judging panel of nine automotive experts spanning the fields of television, radio, print and online media meet in a closed session to first select category winners in nine very different classes: Hybrid, Electric, SUV, Crossover, Sporty Car, Small Car, Family Car, Light Truck and Luxury Vehicle. From these nine finalists, and after much discussion, analysis and horse (power) trading, a winner of the Platinum Wheel eventually emerges.

In this, the POVY’s twelfth year, the pre-owned Genesis G90 was a standout among eighty finalists, garnering a majority of the judges’ votes for its outstanding value, reliability and high consumer satisfaction.

When informed of the award, Jarred Pellat, Manager, Public Relations, Genesis Motor North America, stated, “Genesis is pleased that our flagship sedan G90 has been so warmly received by customers and industry experts since its arrival in the US market in 2016. G90 represents the pinnacle of elegance and comfort in our lineup, and we are pleased to have been named 2021 WheelsTV POV of the Year.”

This year’s judging panel was composed of nine members of the automotive press spanning television, print, Internet and radio. New England Motor Press Association members included John Zangari, Co-Host of Drive-Thru Radio on WPRV-AM 790 and 99.7 fm WPRO in the greater Rhode Island area; Craig Fitzgerald, editor of Subaru Drive and contributor to Hagerty’s online buyers’ guides; Lisa Brock, Executive Director of NEMPA; Rick DeMeis, host of Rick’s Tech Talk; and Rich Taber, Co-founder RPM News Weekly.

Automotive television was represented by Wayne Carini, host of Chasing Classic Cars on MotorTrend Television and President of F40 Motorsports; Bill Stephens, Expert Commentator for Mecum Auto Auctions and producer of the Wild About Wheels television series; Peter Ciani, Senior Writer at WheelsTV; and Jim Barisano, President of WheelsTV. Chris King of WheelsTV moderated the online judging via Zoom.

Upon the G90’s selection, NEMPA Member Craig Fitzgerald stated, “The G90 offers everything that an S-Class, an A8 or a BMW 7 Series does, at half the price new. Used, you can purchase a G90 for the price of a loaded Camry. They’re fast, ultimately luxurious, and reliable. The warranty alone makes the G90 a better deal than any other full-size luxury sedan.”

WheelsTV President and judging panel member Jim Barisano had these observations: “The designers and engineers that Genesis brought over from Lamborghini, Bentley, Audi, Mercedes, Bugatti and BMW’s M Division have created a luxury sedan that is both POWERFUL, with its choice of either a twin-turbo V6 or a 420 horse V8, and SAFE, having been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. But the one feature that we New Englanders particularly appreciate is the big sedan’s available ALL-WHEEL DRIVE, ideal for getting around in our snowy winters!”

Marine Economy Set to Boom in Xiamen During 14th Five-Year Plan Period

November 26, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Marine economy in the coastal city of Xiamen saw robust development in the 13th Five-Year Plan period (2016-20). Statistics show that in 2020, the output value of Xiamen’s marine economy reached 140.53 billion yuan ($22.02 billion), accounting for 22 percent of the city’s total GDP.

Xiamen’s marine economy is expected to embrace high-quality development during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25) as it has recently been guaranteed a leading city status in developing marine sectors in East China’s Fujian province.

The municipal government released two marine economy development plans, which noted that efforts should be made to enhance Xiamen’s role in bolstering the province’s marine economy.

Build a modern marine industrial system
In 2020, the added value of Xiamen’s emerging marine industries totaled 52.44 billion yuan, growing by 4.24 percent year-on-year, taking up 37.3 percent of the total output value of the city’s marine economy. Statistics have shown that emerging marine industries have grown into new growth drivers of Xiamen’s marine economy.

According to the newly released development plans, Xiamen will set up strategic emerging marine industrial clusters by promoting the commercialization of scientific and technological achievements, accelerating cross-border integration, and reinventing business models.

Efforts will be made to speed up the construction of a national demonstration zone for the marine economy. Marine biological industries will also be cultivated, and build global supply bases for marine products.

Xiamen will foster new drivers of growth for marine economy, such as building itself into a Southeast International Shipping Center, improving the efficiency of the ocean shipping transportation system, as well as boosting the coastal and marine tourism industry of Xiamen.

The plan noted that as of 2023, Xiamen will set up a modern marine industrial system, which is expected to be supported by emerging marine industries, modern fisheries, port logistics, and high-end coastal tourism.

Promote scientific and technological innovation
In Xiamen, rich marine resources and a solid industrial foundation are the city’s major advantages in developing the marine economy.

The Xiamen government has stepped up efforts to improve basic research capability, and build a batch of marine scientific research institutions, aiming to promote the innovative development of marine science and technology.

In order to promote the commercialization of scientific and technological achievements, Xiamen has sped up the deep integration of industrial and innovation chains. A wide range of supportive measures have been rolled out to further stimulate the vitality of scientific and technological innovation.

A high-tech industrial park for marine industry is expected to be built in Xiamen, which will push forward the development of high-end marine industries such as marine medicine and biological products, advanced maritime equipment, and new marine materials.

Supported by strong scientific and technological prowess, the output value of Xiamen’s marine industry will reach 300 billion yuan by 2025, which is estimated to account for 30 percent of the city’s total GDP. The layout of the city’s marine economy will be further improved, in an effort to build it into a modern and strong marine city.

Further opening-up
As a key port city of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, Xiamen will deepen trade exchanges and cooperation of countries and regions along the road, according to the development plans.

The city will beef up efforts to attract world-class marine enterprises and core technologies, encourage Xiamen enterprises to go abroad, and deepen opening-up and cooperation in the marine economy. Xiamen will also explore ways to build a new cooperative mechanism for marine industry, to actively engage in international exchanges and cooperation in ocean field.

By 2035, the influence of Xiamen as a global marine center will be significantly enhanced, according to the city plan. The city will develop itself into a world-class port, an international coastal tourism city, an ocean cultural exchange center for countries and regions involved in the Belt and Road Initiative, as well as a global model for marine ecological governance.

Christie adds immersive touch to the new museum dedicated to Portugal’s most famous cyclist

November 25, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Laser projectors and large format LCD panels bring audiovisual experiences to life

Joaquim Agostinho, the best Portuguese cyclist of all time, now has his own museum in the municipality of Torres Vedras (district of Lisbon). The recently opened museum offers several audiovisual experiences powered by Christie® 1DLP® laser projectors and LCD panels. The equipment was integrated by Luzeiro, Halogéneo and ADLC Audiovisuais, working with the distributor Total AV, who chose Christie’s solutions because of their “quality, reliability and performance.”

A national hero in Portugal, Joaquim Agostinho’s sporting career spanned 16 years, between 1968 and 1984, winning all Portugal cycling races and eventually joining the international circuit, which included 13 stints in the Tour de France. He passed away in 1984 after an accident during the Volta ao Algarve. Before his cycling career, he served with the Portuguese army in Angola and Mozambique, where he delivered messages on bicycle because he was able to ride 50 kilometres in two hours where it took other soldiers five.

The new Museu do Ciclismo Joaquim Agostinho, located in Torres Vedras, the cyclist’s hometown, was conceived to preserve Agostinho’s memory and to promote cycling as a sport and as a social activity. The museum is divided into several different spaces for temporary and permanent exhibitions and displaying Agostinho’s memorabilia and information as well as those from other cyclists from Torres Vedras.

The modern interactive museum boasts a variety of multimedia content. “The client was looking for a dynamic museum and not an interpretation centre, so that’s why it was so important to have a striking visual and interactive component that could be regularly modified to keep it alive and attractive,” explained Vitor Paiva from Luzeiro.

The temporary exhibition called Um Outro Lado da Bicicleta (The Other Side of the Bicycle), on view through the end of the 2022, is proving to be one of the museum’s biggest attractions. This show features an immersive projection on a 14-meter curved screen using 12 Christie DWU630-GS 1DLP® laser technology projectors with 6750 lumens and WUXGA resolution.

“This projection, an overview of the various uses of the bicycle over the course of history, immerses visitors in the audiovisuals and makes them feel part of the story told in the videos,” pointed out Vanessa Oliveira, the museologist at Museu do Joaquim Agostinho. “In that regard, the projection is much more dynamic than other visualization technologies like LED,” she added.

For Vitor Paiva, from Luzeiro, the chosen projectors “are perfect for working 12/24. We are particularly pleased with the high levels of contrast ensured by Christie RealBlack™ technology as well as the Zoom lens and the compact size of the projectors. It’s just what we were looking for in this project.”

In addition, the museum also uses another two DWU630-GS for blending in the auditorium as well as a Christie D20HD-HS for the museum’s outdoor space. “This 1DLP® laser model with 18,500 lumens and HD resolution has built-in Christie BoldColor technology which guarantees intense, life-like images with high levels of brightness,” explained Luis Carmo of Total AV.

Meanwhile, the permanent exhibition called 53:11 Esforço e Glória (53:11 Suffering and Glory) explores the evolution of cycling and the sport’s different forms and events, its heroes and the memories of fanatic followers of the big cycling races. It also includes a core section dedicated to the life and sporting history of Joaquim Agostinho, underscoring his triumphs, adventures and memories.

For this exhibition, the museum used various Christie large format LCD panels, the UHD751-P and UHD861-P models. “They are really reliable displays that produce striking, highly attractive images for their large size (75 and 86 inches respectively). The fact they have 4K UHD resolution was another decisive factor in making our choice,” revealed Luís Rodrigues, CEO of Halogéneo.

The museum is delighted with the Christie solutions: “The truth is that they are a wonderful resource for the museum, and fulfil our needs exactly, adding incredible dynamic color to our exhibition rooms. Another big plus is just how easy they are to operate for our staff and the little maintenance they require,” claimed Vanessa Oliveira. “On that note, I would also praise Total AV’s really helpful maintenance support and their total cooperation whenever we need them,” she added.

Vitor Paiva, from Luzeiro, also wished to underline the work of Total AV and Luis Carmo as Christie’s distributor in Portugal: “From day one, Luis and his team were completely on board with the project, initially in the pre-sale phase and then helping us make the right choice of equipment for the optimum functioning of the museum to the standards of quality demanded by the client, and finally, during the installation, where they played a critical role in the technical support and back-up.”

How David Sans of New York Used His Chemical Engineering Background to Become a Successful Investor

November 18, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Chemical Engineering, Healthcare, Investment: How David Sans Built His Fortune

 David Sans is a big name in healthcare startups. Not only has he invested in numerous enterprises, he’s also coached entrepreneurs through some of the more difficult stumbling blocks of their careers. He discusses how his scientific background helped him make bolder moves in investment.

David Sans has a Ph.D. in Chemometrics and Artificial Intelligence. He has a Board Certification in Cell Therapies. He’s also fully licensed in healthcare investment banking and known for his talent of spotting some of the most promising people in the industry. This financially successful scientist routinely relies on his education to make smarter decisions about who to back. He talks more about what that means to him and how it’s helped him stand out in a saturated space.

The Curiosity of David Sans

From a young age, Sans was largely driven by his curiosity. It was this quality that allowed him to puzzle through different problems on a quest for the ultimate answer. Healthcare is an unorganized industry, one that’s made messier by everything from politics to conflicting research. David Sans has come out ahead because he has a long history of detangling what matters from what doesn’t.

The Enterprises that Matter

David Sans can’t just look for great ideas in healthcare. Practically every startup will promise revolution in their sales pitch. Sans has to look past the bluster to the stability of the organization. More than that though, he has to dive deeper into the more technical aspects of the company. For instance, what are the mechanisms being used to manipulate a stem cell into a muscle cell?

This is chemical change at a micro-level and it doesn’t leave a lot of room for error. There’s a reason why so many cell therapies fail to deliver on their original goals, particularly when scaling their innovations has proven nearly impossible.

It was Sans’ engineering background that paved the way for his involvement in healthcare. He would be able to assess not just the validity of the organization – he could also contribute to its operations with targeted advice.

Many healthcare investors get started with little more than a basic scientific understanding of what they’re investing in. They’re motivated by profits and often blind to the realities of bringing research to market. From in-fighting to a lack of collaboration to sheer delusion over state and federal regulations, there are a lot of factors that can cause an organization to flounder and, ultimately, fail. David Sans has learned how to both ask and answer questions in a complex industry, so he can avoid the ill-fated ventures.

Better Business Bureau Pacific Southwest Honors Optima Tax Relief with Torch Award for Ethics

November 16, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Optima recognized for leadership in ethics, integrity, and corporate responsibility

Better Business Bureau Serving the Pacific Southwest (BBB) has named Optima Tax Relief a recipient of the 2021 Torch Award for Ethics in Orange County. The Torch Award is most prestigious honor bestowed by BBB to exceptional organizations for their dedication to integrity and ethical business practices.

“We are thrilled to have earned our second BBB Torch award for ethical business practices,” said Optima CEO David King. When we formed Optima with a handful of employees, we believed that our ethical principles would bring us success. Ten years on, and hundreds of employees later, the Torch Award validates the unwavering commitment our team has made. I couldn’t be prouder to be an Optimian!”

To select Torch Award recipients, an independent panel of community and business leaders evaluate companies for their performances in four key areas: Character, Culture, Customers, Community; more specifically, the character of the organization’s leadership, how an authentic culture is being fostered, how the company prioritizes its relationship with customers, and the impact the organization is making in their community.

“Caring for our clients, our staff, and our community has been the bedrock of our company since day one,” said Christine Bui, Optima’s Chief Customer Officer. “Our employees go above and beyond to deliver the best experience and results for our clients and for one another. One of many reflections of our staff’s passion for helping others is seen in their extraordinary engagement within our Optima Cares initiatives, which directly support social-welfare and charity services within the local community.”

In winning this year’s award, Optima becomes a two-time Torch Award recipient, having previously earned the honor in 2017. (Per BBB policy, a company can only be awarded a Torch Award every four years—making 2021 the first year Optima was eligible after receiving the honor in 2017.) Additionally, to qualify for a Torch Award, the BBB also requires organizations to be:

  •     A non-government affiliated company
  •     In business for three years or longer
  •     Earned an “A” rating from the BBB
  •     Have met all financial obligations

The Torch Award is just the latest in the series of awards Optima has earned this year, including the Orange County Civic 50, Top Workplaces USA, and several Stevie Awards for best-in-class Consumer Service.

“The Torch Award, as well as the other awards we have been honored to receive this year, all stem from the uplifting, people-first culture that Optima is built upon,” said Kimberly Carson, Optima’s Director of Human Resources. “Having a supportive, nurturing environment, unified around always doing what is right, is what powers our success.”

To honor this year’s winners and finalists, as well as several high schoolers being awarded scholarship grants, the BBB held a special event at the Hyatt Regency John Wayne Airport, in Newport Beach. The keynote presentation, given by Bob Dalton, founder and CEO of Sackcloth & Ashes. Dalton – who launched his company to help people struggling with homelessness after observing his mother’s struggles with homelessness – gave an inspiring talk about the value of aligning entrepreneurship with social responsibility.

“This is the fifth year BBB has been recognizing outstanding companies in Orange County for their solid commitment to doing things the right way,” said Shelley Bradley, Director of Signature Events for BBB Serving the Pacific Southwest. “The Orange County economy is filled with diverse industries, each excelling in their own unique ways. To highlight these exceptional companies, BBB was proud to host the inaugural Torch Award for Ethics celebration in Newport Beach, dedicated to the area’s top ethical businesses.”

More information about the Torch Awards and this year’s winners is available at https://www.bbb.org/local/1126/torch-awards-for-ethics/orangecounty.

November 4, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Recently, China Yunhong Holdings (Yunhong Group) held the “Green Nature – Harmonious Symbiosis – 2021” conference in Beijing.

BCD-100-3/DOMAJOR is an international clinical trial of an original anti-PD1 check point inhibitor in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by BIOCAD. The clinical trial in China is conducted by SPH-Biocad (HK) Ltd., the co-sponsor of the international clinical research program of prolgolimab. The drug is expected to be available to Chinese patients as early as in 2026.

The clinical trial in China was approved by the CDE of NMPA this February, and the final permission of HGRAC – Human Genetic Resource Administration of China – was obtained in July. The completion of the clinical trial is planned for the second half of 2025, which will allow the drug to be launched on the Chinese market in 2026.

“The Chinese market is very important for us for many reasons, primarily because of the efforts of the Chinese authorities to update and modernize the healthcare system,” said Dmitry Morozov, CEO of BIOCAD biotech company. Assistance programs offered to citizens of the country for the treatment of cancer open up broad prospects for knowledge-intensive businesses around the world. It is also a matter of principle for us that this is our first experience of integrating the company’s products in China, and we are grateful to Shanghai Pharmaceuticals Holding, our Chinese partner, for their well-coordinated efforts and sincere interest in cooperation. I hope that this partnership will expand over time, not limited only to the sales of drugs.”

The BCD-100-3/DOMAJOR clinical trial is also simultaneously taking place in the European Union and in Russia and is an international multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BCD-100 in combination with pemetrexed + cisplatin/carboplatin versus placebo in combination with pemetrexed + cisplatin/carboplatin as the first-line therapy for patients with non-small cell lung cancer. It is planned that the study will involve 88 patients from China diagnosed with lung cancer (NSCLC). At the end of the study, a dossier will be submitted for obtaining a registration certificate of the drug prolgolimab in the territory of the People’s Republic of China.

In China, to be conducted another clinical trial of prolgolimab in patients with cervical cancer – BCD-100-5 / FERMATA. At least $20 million will be invested in both research in China. Total investment (including partners investments) in international multicenter clinical trials (MMCI) of prolgolimab will be more than $35 million.

Prolgolimab is a monoclonal antibody that binds the PD-1 programmed cell death receptor and blocks its interaction with PD-L1 and PD-L2 ligands. Prolgolimab is an immunoglobulin. The Fc fragment of prolgolimab was modified to prevent cytotoxic effects on target cells expressing PD-1. In Russia, prolgolimab is included in the list of vital and essential medicines (VED).

An increase in the number of studies of PD1/PDL1 inhibitors and their various combinations has been recorded in China, and the market itself demonstrates a significant demand for such inhibitors. Chinese experts estimate the market of PD1/PDL1 inhibitors in the five-year perspective to be more than 30 billion yuan annually ($4.7 billion). Thanks to the assistance programs in the country, Chinese patients pay a small part of the cost of drugs for cancer therapy, a large share of the costs is covered by the national health insurance fund of China that holds more than 2.44 trillion yuan ($373 billion) and so covers 95% of the country’s residents.

Connected Solutions Group Announces 12:34 MicroTechnologies as Strategic Solutions Partner

November 2, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Microsoft-Specializing IT Firm to Enhance Office 365 Products and Services

Connected Solutions Group, LLC (CSG), a national leader in wireless hardware deployment and services, today announced that it has added 12:34 MicroTechnologies, Inc. as their latest Strategic Solutions Partner (SSP). CSG’s SSP program is designed to integrate companies with specific areas of expertise with CSG’s channel offerings in order to maximize the customer’s experience and satisfaction.

12:34 MicroTechnologies, a Pennsylvania-based company founded in 1998, is a national leader offering sales, professional services, and managed services for Microsoft cloud services, Microsoft Office 365, and Azure. From software implementations, migrations, support, and proactive managed services, 12:34 is a full-service IT firm for Microsoft’s wide-ranging products and services.

“This partnership is a huge win for our customers and Verizon customers in so many ways,” said Michael Pittman, CEO at CSG. “Alejandro and his team at 12:34 are some of the most professional people we’ve met in the IT realm, and we’ve seen a huge demand for these services from Verizon teams around the country.”

With Verizon selling business customers a wide range of Microsoft product licenses, Pittman saw the need for a partner who could step in to handle the complex migrations and implementations of the software.

“This was the missing puzzle piece to the offering and the feedback from the customers and Verizon reps has been tremendous,” Pittman said. “The addition of 12:34’s services to the sale of these Microsoft products is often the deciding factor for the customer to move forward.”

Alejandro Rosado, who started 12:34 in 1998 is equally enthusiastic about teaming up with the team at CSG. “Culturally, our two companies are a great fit together,” said Rosado. “As we learned more about CSG’s place in the market, its relationship with Verizon, and its ability to market our services to their customers, it became incredibly obvious that this was a fantastic opportunity for all of us.”

CSG has been quickly growing its SSP lineup over the past several quarters as they scale to offer more of the services needed by its constantly growing customer base. The company’s goal is to fully live up to its name and offer all the connected solutions that its customers require, often through SSP partners bringing specialized expertise.

“It’s another step in our constant evolution to make sure we are offering all of the products and services that Verizon business customers need,” said Pittman. “We’re looking forward to spreading the word about this service to our partners at Verizon. The feedback we’ve gotten so far has been tremendous and we know it will be a huge win for the Verizon reps who regularly have customers with this need.”
