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.
Much anticipated release of new car covers already generating robust orders.
Today, Covercraft announced the introduction of a new line of custom vehicle covers featuring premium non-woven, multi-layer fabrics.
Covercraft has served the automotive market as the leader in innovative protection products and the new line of automotive covers expands the company’s selection to provide the most comprehensive fabric offering in the industry. “Our customers have been asking for new, multi-layer options, so we’re very excited about bringing these three new fabrics to the market”, says Erik Guldager, Vice President of Sales and Customer Service.
Non-woven, multi-layer fabrics are a more traditional fabric for protective vehicle covers and have been a favourite among consumers for decades, but the supply chain saw significant reductions in availability in 2020. “Non-wovens have been scarce since the onset of COVID, but we have worked side-by-side with our fabric mills to develop new and innovative fabric solutions”, comments Morgan Ein, EVP of Sales and Marketing for Covercraft.
As with all Covercraft’s custom vehicle covers, the three new automotive cover programs are all custom-fit designed and produced against OEM standards to ensure a precise fit on the vehicle.
Covercraft® 5-Layer Indoor protects against dust and is designed for garage storage, with a perfect fabric weight that handles easily while affording maximum protection. The inner layer is an extremely soft lining to protect those fine paint finishes.
Covercraft® 3-Layer Moderate Climate is designed for outdoor use in moderate climates to help protect against dust and moisture. The fabric is treated for extra UV resistance and is lightweight making for easy installation and removal.
Covercraft® 5-Layer All-Climate Softback is destined to be the most popular outdoor car cover in the market. Providing exceptional dust, moisture and UV protection, the added soft inner liner makes this the premier all-around protective cover.
The company has already seen excitement as the information has been rolled out to distributors in preparation for the launch that occurred on August 2, 2021. “Our customers were eager to flip the switch on these covers and get them in front of consumers and we have already seen a volume of orders that has us rolling out of the gate”, continues Guldager.

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 disinfectionmodulesin 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.

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.

Cincinnati business partners with tri-state animal shelter
Pet Wants, a Cincinnati pet nutrition company, is partnering with the Cincinnati Animal CARE Humane Society on a donation drive for both dog and cat food. Pet Wants will provide a two-for-one matching donation for each pound of Pet Wants food purchased and donated to the shelter. Donation food can be purchased at Pet Wants locations at Findlay Market or at 1409 Vine Street in Cincinnati; or at the website petwantscincy.com under “Donation Food”. The drive started August 3rd and runs through Labor Day, Monday September 6th.
The need for pet food at the shelter always exists, but has become more acute recently as Cincinnati Animal CARE has found itself to be over-capacity. Intake of dogs and cats remains high, but adoptions have slowed over the summer.
“We saw that Cincinnati Animal CARE had a critical need for food for their shelter animals, and we are delighted to be able to help them with this two-for-one donation,” says Pet Wants founder Michele Hobbs.
Pet Wants was founded in 2010 by Hobbs and Amanda Broughton. This local small business believes it survived the pandemic and the subsequent exponential growth of online food distributors with outstanding customer service, and with the free delivery of locally made fresh products to over 1800 homes in Cincinnati. Pet Wants remains steadfastly committed to improving the lives of pets by providing fresh, high-quality, nutritious foods. Learn more from their website, http://petwantscincy.com.
ibex today issued this announcement concerning an earlier event, disclosed by the company on October 23, 2020 in its Annual Report (Form 20-F), which may have potentially impacted the security of information relating to certain employees and their families. While ibex is unaware of any attempted or actual misuse of personal information in relation to the event, ibex provided potentially affected individuals with notice, information about the event and steps individuals can take to help protect their information.
On August 17, 2020, ibex learned that it was the victim of a malware attack that impacted the availability of a limited segment of our systems. We immediately took these systems offline and, with the assistance of third-party computer specialists, launched an investigation to determine the nature and scope of the incident. On or about September 15, 2020, the investigation confirmed that certain files on our systems may have been accessed without authorization between July 27 and August 17, 2020. We therefore undertook a meticulous and time-intensive review of the potentially impacted files and our internal systems in order to identify the information that was involved and to whom it related. In connection with this review, on or about September 29, 2020, a third-party firm was engaged to review the potentially impacted files. ibex, upon receiving and validating the findings of the third-party firm, on or about June 14, 2021, determined that one or more of the potentially impacted folders included information related to individuals.
In conjunction and collaboration with the third-party review team, ibex continued to diligently review and reconcile the information with internal and public records in furtherance of identifying the individuals to whom the data relates and the appropriate contact information for those individuals. These efforts were completed on or around July 11, 2021, at which time ibex determined the scope of impacted individuals and the types of protected data associated with those individuals.
We thereafter worked to provide notification to potentially impacted individuals as quickly as possible. Importantly, there is no indication that any person’s specific information was accessed or misused. However, ibex is notifying potentially impacted individuals out of an abundance of caution.
Information security is important to us, and we have strict security measures in place to protect information in our care. Upon discovering this incident, we immediately took steps to review and reinforce the security of our systems. We have implemented additional cybersecurity measures to further protect against similar incidents moving forward. Additionally, ibex is providing potentially impacted individuals with complimentary access to identity monitoring, fraud consultation, and identity theft restoration services.
ibex encourages individuals to monitor their accounts and activate the complimentary credit monitoring and identity protection services being offered. Please see the section below for more information. Individuals may call ibex’s call center at 866-871-8614 (toll free), Monday through Friday from 9 am to 9 pm Eastern Time. Potentially affected individuals may also consider the information and resources outlined below.
Steps You Can Take to Protect Personal Information
Monitor Accounts
Under U.S. law, a consumer is entitled to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit reporting bureaus, Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. To order your free credit report, visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call, toll-free, 1-877-322-8228. You may also directly contact the three major credit reporting bureaus listed below to request a free copy of your credit report.
Consumers have the right to place an initial or extended “fraud alert” on a credit file at no cost. An initial fraud alert is a 1-year alert that is placed on a consumer’s credit file. Upon seeing a fraud alert display on a consumer’s credit file, a business is required to take steps to verify the consumer’s identity before extending new credit. If you are a victim of identity theft, you are entitled to an extended fraud alert, which is a fraud alert lasting seven years. Should you wish to place a fraud alert, please contact any one of the three major credit reporting bureaus listed below.
As an alternative to a fraud alert, consumers have the right to place a “credit freeze” on a credit report, which will prohibit a credit bureau from releasing information in the credit report without the consumer’s express authorization. The credit freeze is designed to prevent credit, loans, and services from being approved in your name without your consent. However, you should be aware that using a credit freeze to take control over who gets access to the personal and financial information in your credit report may delay, interfere with, or prohibit the timely approval of any subsequent request or application you make regarding a new loan, credit, mortgage, or any other account involving the extension of credit. Pursuant to federal law, you cannot be charged to place or lift a credit freeze on your credit report. To request a security freeze, you will need to provide the following information:
Full name (including middle initial as well as Jr., Sr., II, III, etc.);
Social Security number;
Date of birth;
Addresses for the prior two to five years;
Proof of current address, such as a current utility bill or telephone bill;
A legible photocopy of a government-issued identification card (state driver’s license or ID card, military identification, etc.); and
A copy of either the police report, investigative report, or complaint to a law enforcement agency concerning identity theft if you are a victim of identity theft.
Should you wish to place a fraud alert or credit freeze, please contact the three major credit reporting bureaus listed below:
TransUnion Credit Freeze, P.O. Box 160, Woodlyn, PA 19094
Additional Information
You may further educate yourself regarding identity theft, fraud alerts, credit freezes, and the steps you can take to protect your personal information by contacting the consumer reporting bureaus, the Federal Trade Commission, or your state Attorney General. The Federal Trade Commission may be reached at: 600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20580; www.identitytheft.gov; 1-877-ID-THEFT (1-877-438-4338); and TTY: 1-866-653-4261. The Federal Trade Commission also encourages those who discover that their information has been misused to file a complaint with them. You can obtain further information on how to file such a complaint by way of the contact information listed above. You have the right to file a police report if you ever experience identity theft or fraud. Please note that in order to file a report with law enforcement for identity theft, you will likely need to provide some proof that you have been a victim. Instances of known or suspected identity theft should also be reported to law enforcement and your state Attorney General. This notice has not been delayed by law enforcement.
