JOOKI ANNOUNCES NEW STREAMING WIFI
MUSIC & STORY SPEAKER FOR KIDS
 
Jooki’s Patented NFC-Enabled ToyTouch® Technology Lets Kids Use Figurines & Tokens to Stream Playlists with No Screens in Sight
 
A Screen-Free Childhood Develops a Child’s Imagination & Independence –
It’s Like Magic!      

Brussels, Belgium, September 21, 2021 – Jooki https://jooki.rocks/  announced today the release of the new kids’ Wi-Fi speaker, Jooki -- the first kids’ speaker with streaming music and audio capabilities. The new Jooki speaker is a wireless screen-free music/audiobook player with Spotify connection. Featuring Jooki’s patented NFC-enabled ToyTouch® Technology, Jooki lets kids operate the speaker independently using figurines or tokens as a remote control that triggers playlists that parents preset with a few clicks on the Jooki app. Guided by Montessori education principles, the award-winning Jooki player connects through Wi-Fi for music and audiobook streaming and Bluetooth for wireless headset listening, helping parents empower their children to develop creativity, independence, and emotional awareness through the child’s own access to a wide range of pre-selected songs, music, and stories. Faster, lighter, and better, Jooki Generation 2 is magic at a kid’s fingertips! 

Jooki Connects with Spotify  

Jooki embraces the modern way to consume music through Spotify streaming, unlike many other children’s speakers that operate with CDs. Jooki lets kids listen to the audio content that they want, whenever they want: Spotify and MP3 audio files of music, songs, and stories can be imported offline or streamed directly from the speaker. Jooki is lightweight and fully portable with a built-in 8-hour hour USB rechargeable battery with wireless (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) or local offline (MP3) capabilities. Awarded best in Family Tech at CES, Jooki is the perfect holiday or birthday gift, made for children ages 3 and up. 

How Jooki’s Patented ToyTouch® Technology Works  

Jooki’s founders patented their innovative use of NFC technology and electronics, so kids only need a figurine or a token to operate Jooki. Parents associate content to a figurine or a token using the Jooki app; then the child only has to place the figurine or token on Jooki for the playlist to start. Jooki is more than a toy to put aside after a few weeks, the screen-free device is designed for families that wants to spark kids’ imaginations and limit screen time. 

“Jooki is simply the kid’s music and story player for a screen-free childhood,” said Christine Brendle, CEO, Jooki Inc. “It lets you bond with your children by linking audiobooks, favorite playlists, or personal audio files to Jooki figurines and tokens. Your kids will only have to place one of them on a Jooki to trigger the playlist. It’s like magic and is a great way to keep kids engaged without screens.”

Jooki Features:

·        Wireless screen-free portable music and story speaker made for kids.

·        ToyTouch® Technology: playlists start when a colorful RFID-enabled figurine or token is placed on Jooki.

·        Plays Spotify content and local MP3 audio files.

·        Wi-Fi enabled.

·        Bluetooth connection to wireless headsets

·        Volume limited to protect kids’ hearing.

·        Easy control knobs for kids to switch tracks, adjust volume, and turn Jooki on and off.

·        The Jooki app let parents easily associate Spotify playlists with tokens and figurines.

·        USB-C charging with built-in battery for 8 hours of playtime.

·        Lighter, faster, and better than the first generation of Jooki.

·        Ages 3 and up. 

Availability & Pricing 

Jooki is priced at $112.99 (with free shipping) and includes the Jooki speaker, 2 Jooki tokens with playlists pre-programmed, and a charging cable. Additional packs of 6 colorful tokens and 5 popular figurines are also available. Faster, lighter, and more affordable than the original edition, the new generation Jooki 2 is available immediately at: https://jooki.rocks.   

About Jooki 

Founded in 2014 by three geek dads formerly with Google, Huawei, and Barco, the award-winning Jooki is funded by ST’ART invest, CoFoundry, Brustart; and advised by Michel Tombroff, former CEO of SoftKinetic.

 REUNIONS MAGAZINE ANSWERS THE QUESTION:
“WHAT SHOULD WE DO FOR OUR REUNION THIS YEAR?”
 
Reunions magazine Helps Family, Class, and Military Reunions
Relive the Past & Make New Memories – Even During a Pandemic 

Savannah, GA, April 15, 2021 – Vivid-Pix www.vivid-pix.com, the leading provider of AI-powered image restoration software and publisher of Reunions magazine, the leading online reunion planning and celebration publication for 30 years, announced today the Reunions magazine inaugural issue since its acquisition by Vivid-Pix. The issue includes new stories and ideas provided by our readers and experts for planning reunions during and after the pandemic. Reunions magazine provides education, resources, event planning and sharing information for family, class, and military reunions.   

Who Plans Reunions? 87% of Planners are Female, 92% over the Age of 30, & 54% over the Age of 50 

Millions look forward to the joy of reuniting with family and friends every year, even more so now due to the separation caused by the pandemic. “Reunions will take many forms this year,” describes Rick Voight, CEO, Vivid-Pix. “To illustrate, I’ll quote Merriam-Webster: ‘A reunion is 1: an act of coming or bringing together again after being apart. 2: an organized gathering of people who have not been together for some time.’ Most people are balancing safety concerns with longing to be together. Some will reunite with close contacts, others will have full gatherings, others will continue with ‘Zoom Reunions’ and we will see hybrid physical/distance reunions.” 

Included in the upcoming June issue, Reunions magazine analyzed multiple data source research on who is planning reunions and services needed, including the most used reunions services implemented prior to the pandemic: catering, photography, videography, tours, buses, florists, and professional planners. The study concluded that women over the age of 30 are the main planners of reunions, with 87% of planners female, 92% over the age of 30 and 54% over the age of 50. In addition, the majority of reunions, 59%, had 51-100+ attendees.

How to Make Reunions Safe & Fun 

The upcoming issue of Reunions magazine also includes an article by Lisa Alzo, genealogist, lecturer, and author of 11 books and numerous magazine articles, who has been planning her family’s reunions (nicknamed “ALAFFFA” after her family’s initials) for 50+ years. She delves into safety protocols, activities, and ways to make family reunions held in 2021 unique and fun, including:

·        What safety protocols are needed: masks, cleaning, and social distancing?

·        How should technology be used to connect with family members unable to attend in person?

·        Using gifts and crafts to create a memorable family reunion.

·        How to handle the food; is it time to go back to buffet style or should other options be considered: potluck, catering, or pizza delivery?

·        What outdoor activities should be planned (usual games for her family were softball or cornhole)? Should indoor trivia or board games be implemented in case of inclement weather or for those unable to participate in outdoor sports?

·        What should be done to make sure old traditions are not lost, including having a theme, designating time for family updates, and discussion?

·        How are the skills of each generation of the family leveraged to make sure 2021 is a memorable experience for all?

·        What is the appropriate way to remember those who have passed away? 

“Family, class, and military reunion planners are eager to return to the task of making their reunions happen. Hugs can only happen in person … not online!” said Edith Wagner, Editor, Reunions magazine. “Reunion planners rely on the knowledge, skill, and expertise of professionals to help answer questions, solve dilemmas, make decisions and plans. They are looking for answers to questions they’ve not even thought to ask and know they can’t do it all without help from experts at convention and visitors or tourism bureaus, hotels, resorts, airlines, cruise lines, ranches, bed and breakfasts, Airbnbs, and inns, t-shirt suppliers, memento makers, caterers, photographers, florists, motor coaches, attractions, entertainment, and more.”

ICLEANSE PARTNERS WITH ATHENA HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS TO PROVIDE UV-C DISINFECTING UNITS TO 51 NURSING HOMES IN NORTHEAST

iCleanse to Help Curb the Spread of COVID-19 in Nursing Homes by Disinfecting Devices

iCleanse is Currently in Use in Hundreds of U.S. Hospitals & Nursing Homes

Avon, CT, March 10, 2021 ^--  iCleanse, the leader in UV-C personal device disinfection, announced today that it has partnered with Athena Health Care to provide Athena’s 51 nursing home in the Northeast with iCleanse’s patented UV-C disinfecting units to disinfect frequently used devices for COVID-19 and other virus safety and infection control. For over three decades, Athena Health Care Systems, based in Farmington, CT, has been a regional leader in providing skilled nursing care, short-term, post-hospital rehabilitation, assisted and senior living, as well as home health, hospice care, and private duty program services.

COVID-19 Can Last up to 28 Days on Surfaces

In today’s times, nursing homes and long-term care facilities have been plagued with virus outbreaks. Their older demographics and confined spaces make them highly susceptible to viruses, especially since COVID-19 can last up to 28 days on surfaces. Health care facilities have been working hard to protect patients and employees from contracting and spreading COVID-19. A major strategy to curb outbreaks is using UV-C Technology, such as the iCleanse Swift, to disinfect frequently touched items and devices that are passed from person to person. iCleanse Swift reduces the spread of infectious pathogens to nursing home patients and employees by killing 99.9% of bacteria on devices and other items in less than 30 seconds.

iCleanse is in use in hundreds of U.S. hospitals and nursing homes, where over 87% of nurses and physicians are using technology, like tablets and smartphones, in addition to other devices and items, including stethoscopes. Devices save time between patients by quickly inputting patient information; providing patient check-ins; and tracking visitors. Keeping health care facilities open, safe, and efficient is iCleanse’s top priority.  

“The iCleanse units have been well-received and greatly appreciated by the teams at our centers,” said Larry Santilli, President, and CEO, Athena Health Care Systems. “Nursing homes across the country have been significantly impacted by COVID-19 and Athena Health Care Systems has gone to extraordinary lengths to provide protection, whether in the forms of PPE or the newest technology in the iCleanse units, to ensure the health and safety of our staff. The units provide not only another level of infection prevention but also provide peace of mind for our dedicated, compassionate caregivers. Chris Allen and his team have developed a great tool to complement our expanding infection prevention program.”

CEO of iCleanse, Chris Allen, said, “I am excited to partner with Mr. Santilli at Athena Health Care Systems, providing them with UV-C disinfection they can trust. It is essential during these times to keep workers and residents safe from viruses and harmful bacteria that can lead to infection, including COVID-19. Our products will provide the necessary tools needed to fight this pandemic.”

iCleanse is the leader in chemical-free UV-C disinfection for mobile devices and the only patented solution. iCleanse’s partnership with ChargeTech will expand its reach into new markets beyond iCleanse’s industry-leading hospital network. ChargeTech’s connections with businesses across the country, in Europe, and the Middle East will help bring awareness to the power of UV-C and the importance of regularly disinfecting mobile phones and other devices to break the virus cycle. 

“We are excited to announce iCleanse’s partnership with ChargeTech,” said Chris Allen, CEO of iCleanse. “They are an exceptional company of innovators with great products themselves.

“This partnership will enable us to better serve our existing corporate clients by expanding our product offering in this critically important category,” said ChargeTech CEO John Cappetta. “We were so impressed by the design and efficacy of the iCleanse products that we decided the best way to serve our customers was to expand on our large format suite of products by adding the iCleanse line or products as one of their licensed distributors.

ROOTSTECH CONNECT 2021 NEWS

VIVID-PIX BRINGS FAMILY HISTORY HOME
AT ROOTSTECH CONNECT 2021
WITH FREE EDUCATION & RESEARCH
 
New Family History Series for Families, Family Historians & Librarians
 
Vivid-Pix Partners with achi & Tellegacy to Provide Research
to Assist Older Adults, Families, & Health Providers
 

February 25, 2021, Salt Lake City, UT – Vivid-Pix www.vivid-pix.com, the leading provider of AI-powered image restoration software, announced today at RootsTech Connect, the world’s largest family history event, Vivid-Pix Education for family “Chief Memory Officers” (those who enjoy taking pictures and sharing family stories), family historians, and librarians. In addition, Vivid-Pix announced today that it is partnering with achi and Tellegacy to provide academic and business research to help older adults and families and assist health providers. 

Family History/Genealogy is 2nd Most Popular Hobby in the U.S. 

As published by Time, USA Today, and the NY Times, family history/genealogy is the second most popular hobby in America, especially for those over the age of 55. Integrating photos is an important component of this hobby, with photo popularity continuing to grow in the U.S. for all age groups. “Photo ubiquity is illustrated by how we communicate today in social media – a picture says a thousand words. Most online conversations revolve around photos – whether viewing last night’s dinner or yesteryear’s photos where we see older adults as children. Photos connect us across languages and other differences,” said Vivid-Pix CEO, Rick Voight.   

Vivid-Pix Creates Education for Families, Family Historians, and Librarians 

Have you ever wanted to tell your story and your family story? To harness photography’s impact on family history, Vivid-Pix has launched new education for families and family historians. In this six-part series, author / storyteller and genealogist Laura Hedgecock teaches us how to share stories in bite-sized videos, starting with the class Witness to History: Now and Then. Classes are available at: https://www.vivid-pix.com/education.html.

Vivid-Pix is also providing education for librarians. The American Library Association (ALA) estimates that there are 116,867 libraries in the United States. Very few universities offer a genealogy course path for librarians pursuing a Master of Library Science. Working with experts in the field, Vivid-Pix has created a twelve-part Genealogy Librarian Education Series at:  https://www.vivid-pix.com/librarian with classes and special panel discussions, including:

·        “Introduction to Genealogical Research and the Role of the Genealogy Librarian”: taught by Drew Smith, MA LIS, USF Libraries.

·        “The Genealogical Reference Interview, Orientation to Library Resources & Services”: taught by Sue Kaufman, MLIS, Sr. Manager, Houston Public Library – Clayton Library Center for Genealogical Research.

·        “Working with Local Genealogical and Historical Societies”: panel discussion hosted by Cherie Bush, Deputy Chief Genealogical Officer for FamilySearch Intl.

·        “Marketing the Genealogy Library”: panel discussion hosted by Allison DePrey Singleton, MA, MLS, Sr. Librarian, Genealogy Center, Allen County Public Library, Fort Wayne, Indiana.  

The CDC estimates that 20% of people age 55 years or older experience some type of mental health concern. The most common conditions include anxiety, severe cognitive impairment, and mood disorders (such as depression or bipolar disorder) - see:  https://www.cdc.gov/aging/pdf/mental_health.pdf .Research has shown that loneliness and social isolation can result in long-term negative health outcomes. Studies also illustrate the health benefits of using photos to reduce loneliness, stress, and anxiety, as well as the recollective benefits for those that suffer from early-onset of dementia, dementia, and Alzheimer’s.

achi, Tellegacy & Vivid-Pix (ATV) Launch Academic and Business Research to Assist Aging Population 

Vivid-Pix is also announcing ATV, a partnership with achi and Tellegacy to study and improve older adult population health. Dr. Jeremy Holloway, Assistant Professor and Director of Geriatrics Education at University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences, will lead the primary research utilizing student caregiver/senior engagement. Rick Voight, MBA, CEO, Vivid-Pix, will lead the effort on business research and Hayley Studer, CPA, FHFMA, will lead financial modeling to study how to reduce cost and improve older adult health. The inter-generational Tellegacy program helps keep older adults connected. ATV activities will integrate photos into loneliness, isolation, and reminiscence therapy research. Read research info at: “Photo Reminiscing Can Reduce Stress & Depression During Coronavirus. 

Vivid-Pix at RootsTech Connect and Beyond 

Vivid-Pix is a bronze sponsor and exhibitor of RootsTech Connect, which is being held virtually from Feb. 25-27, 2021. In addition to RootsTech Connect, Vivid-Pix is also the title sponsor of NGS Conference’s SLAM (Societies, Libraries, Archives, Museums) and Focus on Societies (genealogical societies, historical societies, and family organizations), two pillars of the five-day National Genealogical Society (NGS) virtual conference, held May 17-21, 2021. NGS and RootsTech Connect are the backbone of the genealogy community and an important source of information and knowledge for budding family historians and experts alike.  

Vivid-Pix also recently announced the acquisition of Reunions magazine, a leading publication for reunion planning and celebration for the past 30 years. This resource provides family, class, and military reunions ideas, features, and education to connect in person and online. For more information on Vivid-Pix, see the website: www.vivid-pix.com. 

About Tellegacy 

Tellegacy is an intergenerational program created to combat loneliness and social isolation among older adults, keeping them connected and engaged through weekly phone or virtual visits with university students. As research shows, loneliness and social isolation can result in long-term negative health outcomes. Tellegacy founder, Jeremy Holloway, PhD, is determined to change that narrative with his flexible, relationship-oriented, mindfulness, goal-setting and guided imagery curriculum. In partnership with Hayley Studer, founder of achi, a holistic care management company that lowers overall expenses by actively engaging people and connecting them to organizations to address the social determinants of health, the infrastructure for which Tellegacy was built.

STAY SAFE AND CONNECTED THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
WITH FREE FAMILY HISTORY & FAMILY REUNION TUTORIAL VIDEOS PROVIDED BY EXPERTS
 
Shaking Hands, Hugs, & Kisses Will Have to Wait, but Smiles, Laughter, and Excitement Don’t Have to!
 
“Gathering Traditions” Tutorial Videos Show How to Connect While Distant
Classes by: Kenyatta D. Berry from PBS, Reunions Magazine, DearMYRTLE, and Cousin Russ
 

Savannah, GA, December 9, 2020 – Vivid-Pix www.vivid-pix.com, the leading provider of AI-powered image restoration software, is partnering with Kenyatta D. Berry from PBS, Reunions Magazine, DearMYRTLE, and Cousin Russ to provide free, valuable how-to information that will keep friends and family safe and connected this holiday season. Reunion and genealogy experts have created this education series so the young and young at heart can be together through virtual gatherings and reunions, as well as create genealogy interviews and capture traditions to hand down to future generations. 

The holidays are going to be different this year due to CDC social distancing guidelines and gathering restrictions. Vivid-Pix has an answer to help stay connected: hold these events virtually and create time capsules with Vivid-Pix’s “Gathering Traditions,” easy-to-implement tutorials at: https://vivid-pix.com/education.html to safely gather, relive past holiday gatherings, and record for future reminiscing.  

Vivid-Pix Gathering Traditions “How To” Tutorials Cover a Wide Range of Topics 

Vivid-Pix Gathering Traditions online education teaches how to connect, both literally and emotionally. Classes at https://vivid-pix.com/education.html include step by step directions on:

·        How to use Zoom.

·        How to engage young and young at heart to ensure involvement.

·        How to record today’s feelings for tomorrow’s reminiscing.

·        How to share a picture on Zoom and relive yesteryear’s fun and laughter.

·        How to use Gallery View to capture conversations and Speaker View to record individual feelings.

·        How to improve and reminisce using cherished photo memories. 

Experts: Vivid-Pix, Kenyatta D. Berry from PBS, Reunions Magazine, & Dear Myrtle Create Online Gatherings 

Edith Wagner, Reunions Magazine’s editor, has been on the frontline of countless events cancelled and postponed. She said, “Reunions and gatherings of all kinds have been upended this year. Deprived of physical contact, reunions cleverly found a way to ‘gather’ on Zoom and now you can, too. Shaking hands, hugs, and kisses will have to wait, but smiles, laughter, and excitement don’t have to!” 

As host of the Genealogy Roadshow on PBS, Kenyatta D. Berry has brought genealogy into the homes of millions. “Family stories and oral history is often critical and one of the most enjoyable parts of the genealogy journey. It’s important to interview older family members, close relatives, and family friends. While we are at home, this is a great time to use technology for these interviews, to discover new family stories and share photographs. I hope this education series inspires everyone to create their own time capsule,” described Kenyatta D. Berry. 

DearMYRTLE and Cousin Russ have helped genealogy societies, institutes, and individuals with their research journey through Zoom education. “During this time of social distancing, fun family stories and traditions can be shared and recorded via Zoom. Why not create virtual time capsules and save the recordings for future generations?” said Pat Richley-Erickson, DearMYRTLE. “Photographs, traditions, and reminiscing can be shared, so that these stories that might otherwise be lost can brighten our lives today and enrich the lives of future generations tomorrow.”

NEW COLDSNAP™ FOR BUSINESS LAUNCHED --
ICE CREAM APPLIANCE FOR BUSINESS & CONVENIENCE STORES  
 
RAPID FREEZING TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES SINGLE-SERVE PREMIUM ICE CREAM IN A FEW SECONDS
  
ColdSnap is Perk for Employees & Customers or to Generate Revenue
Produces Amazing Tasting On Demand Ice Cream, Frozen Cocktails, Frozen Yogurt, Frozen Coffee, & Smoothies in Just 60 to 90 seconds
No Mess/No Refrigeration Pods for Individual Servings in a Variety of Flavors
 

December 10, 2020, Billerica, MA – Sigma Phase, Corp. announced today ColdSnap™ for Business, a rapid freezing appliance with personalized single servings of premium ice cream, frozen yogurt, frozen cocktails, smoothies, and frozen coffee in about 90 seconds. ColdSnap for Business is a Keurig/Nespresso-style machine for ice cream and other frozen confections that lets stores and businesses offer their customers and employees delicious frozen confections in individualized servings, on-the-spot, free of messy preparation and cleanup.  

Ideal for Convenience Stores, Airports, Spas, Car Dealers, Hotels, Offices, Breakrooms, Cafeterias in Hospitals and Universities & Other Businesses – No Plumbing or Installation Needed 

Perfect as an employee or customer perk/incentive or to generate revenue through the continuous sale of pods, the ColdSnap for Business machine uses its patented Rapid Freezing Technology to instantly freeze ambient temperature product in single-serving recyclable ColdSnap Pods. Businesses, such as convenience stores, airports, spas, car dealers, hotels, caterers, and other offices and businesses, can quickly place a ColdSnap machine on a table, desk, or countertop without the need for installation. No freezing, preparation, cartridges, filters, clean up, or plumbing is required -- as is currently needed with other frozen confection and beverage machines.  

Made for Continuous Heavy Duty Commercial Use – No Re-Cooling Needed 

ColdSnap for Business is robustly made for heavy duty continuous commercial use. The ColdSnap system produces multiple consecutive frozen confections without requiring a time-consuming re-cooling phase. The machine accepts shelf-stable, ambient temperature ColdSnap Pods, then repeatedly freezes and dispenses the contents of the Pods. To set up, simply place the ColdSnap machine on a table or countertop;  plug the system into an electric socket; insert the desired ColdSnap Pod; and follow the on-screen instructions.

 40% Smaller Ice Crystals than Store Bought for Amazing Tasting Ice Cream –

Eliminates Traditional Cold Supply Chain 

ColdSnap’s cutting-edge freezing technology creates micro-sized ice crystals that are 40% smaller than store-bought products, guaranteeing ColdSnap’s amazing taste and the smoothest texture possible. Since ColdSnap Pods are shelf-stable and can be shipped at ambient temperature, the system is independent of the expensive, unreliable, and environmentally unfriendly cold chain that is in current use to bring factory-frozen ice cream and other frozen products to market. Through the ColdSnap system, ice cream can now be shipped directly to stores and offices without the use of dry ice or cold storage, reducing the costs traditionally associated with shipping frozen ice cream.  

Availability 

ColdSnap for Business machines and Pods will be available for purchase through the ColdSnap website at www.ColdSnap.com and at select retail locations. In addition to the business version, a ColdSnap version will also be available for home use. Other food and beverage categories will be introduced in 2021. For more information, please see www.ColdSnap.com, Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ColdSnap-104363091390945, Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coldsnap_delight/, LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/coldsnaptech/. 

The ColdSnap Story  

When nightly bedtime stories grew dull for Matt Fonte and his two daughters, they decided to swap magic tree house and fairytale princess books for a more creative past-time: invention journals. Topping the list of potential inventions: a better ice cream machine for at-home use without all the hassle. His daughters envisioned a Keurig^®-style machine that could generate ice cream immediately without a mess. This inspired Fonte, a serial entrepreneur, who saw great potential in the idea.  

To execute this invention, Fonte formed Sigma Phase, Corp. in October 2018 in Massachusetts, with the singular objective to transform the way frozen confections were produced, transported, purchased, and enjoyed. The Company has assembled a first-class team, and together, they are moving quickly to create something exciting that doesn’t exist on the market today. ColdSnap’s patented technology has the promise to disrupt the massive global ice cream market with its delicious, personalized, frozen confectionery experience, including in geographies where the cold chain is weak and unreliable.  For more information, please see the website: www.ColdSnap.com.

November 17, 2020, Avon, CT—iCleanse http://www.icleanse.com/ (formerly ReadyDock), the leader in chemical-free UV-C disinfection technology for over ten years, announced today the Swift and Swift Mini, two new patented chemical-free UV-C disinfection products for mobile devices and other personal items for use in hospitals, government buildings, and other businesses. Similar to the original popular Swift XL disinfection unit, but with a much smaller footprint, the Swift and Swift Mini kills  99.99% of pathogens, like COVID-19, in as little as 30 seconds. At two-thirds the size of the Swift XL, the Swift and Swift mini are much more portable and versatile for hospitals and businesses that don’t have available space to sanitize devices.  

Easy-to-Use Interface Quickly Disinfects Multiple Devices & Items 

Equipped with the same UV-C technology as the Swift XL, the small Swift Mini, at only 15.5 inches wide and Swift, at only 20 inches wide, quickly disinfect multiple mobile phones and large-sized tablets simultaneously, as well as bulkier electronics and personal items, such as body cams, CB radios, stethoscopes, hair brushes, and more. Simple to use, the new units are equipped with an easy to navigate user interface to quickly start disinfection cycles or customize cycle times. The software even notifies you when it’s time to replace the UV-C lamps, ensuring that devices are always properly disinfected.

Available in December, the patented, UL-certified iCleanse Swift disinfection units have a measurement of 20” x 17.5” x 8.75” for the Swift and 15.5” x 17.5” x 11” for the Swift Mini, and are available through the iCleanse website at www.icleanse.com.

Vivid-Pix, Reunions Magazine, Dear Myrtle, and Kenyatta D. Berry, PBS Create Virtual Reunions and Time Capsule Education 

Vivid-Pix is partnering with Kenyatta D. Berry, Reunions Magazine, DearMYRTLE, and Cousin Russ to provide free, valuable how-to information.  “These tools will help families during the holidays and create time capsules for past and future connectedness,” said Rick Voight, CEO, Vivid-Pix. “By working with reunion and genealogy experts, this education series can be used for virtual reunions and gatherings, as well as creating genealogy interviews and capturing traditions to hand down to future generations.” 

Perfect Time to Use Technology to Discover New Family Stories  

As host of the Genealogy Roadshow on PBS, Kenyatta D. Berry has brought genealogy into the homes of millions. “Family stories and oral history is often critical and one of the most enjoyable parts of the genealogy journey. It’s important to interview older family members, close relatives, and family friends. While we are at home, this is a great time to use technology for these interviews, to discover new family stories and share photographs. I hope this education series inspires everyone to create their own time capsule,” described Kenyatta D. Berry.   

DearMYRTLE and Cousin Russ have helped genealogy societies, institutes, and individuals with their research journey through Zoom education. “During this time of social distancing, fun family stories and traditions can be shared and recorded via Zoom. Why not create virtual time capsules and save the recordings for future generations?” said Pat Richley-Erickson, DearMYRTLE. “Photographs, traditions, and reminiscing can be shared, so that these stories that might otherwise be lost can brighten our lives today and enrich the lives of future generations tomorrow.” 

Discovering Your Roots Can Brighten the Holidays and Enrich Future Generations’ Lives 

Edith Wagner, Reunions Magazine’s editor, has been on the frontline of countless events cancelled and postponed. She said, “Reunions and gatherings of all kinds have been upended this year and we don’t know how long it will last. Deprived of physical contact, reunions cleverly found a way to ‘gather’ on Zoom and now you, too, can learn these techniques to assemble your family or group in substitute reunions. Shaking hands, hugs, and kisses will have to wait, but smiles, laughter, and excitement don’t have to!”

Easy Machine Set-up - No Preparation of the Pods - No Refrigeration of Pods Needed

Recyclable Pods - Perfect for Home & Commercial Use

Available through E-Commerce 

October 20, 2020, Billerica, MA – Sigma Phase, Corp. announced today the ColdSnap™ rapid freezing appliance that produces personalized single servings of premium ice cream, frozen yogurt, frozen cocktails, smoothies, and frozen coffee in 60-120 seconds. ColdSnap is a Keurig/Nespresso-style machine, but for ice cream and other frozen confections. With ColdSnap, everyone can now have delicious frozen confections in individualized servings, prepared on-the-spot, and free of messy preparation and cleanup. The ColdSnap machine uses its patented refrigeration technology to rapidly freeze shelf-stable food and beverage formulations in single-serve recyclable ColdSnap Pods that do not require refrigeration or preparation. 

Rapid Freezing Technology & Pod System Transforms Frozen Treats 

The patented ColdSnap system transforms the way frozen treats are produced and enjoyed. No plumbing, no set up, no preparation, no cartridges, no filters, and no cleaning is required of the ColdSnap system. To set up, simply place the ColdSnap machine on a countertop (the machine fits under a traditional kitchen cabinet);  plug the system into a kitchen electric socket; insert the desired ColdSnap Pod; and follow the on-screen instructions. In under two minutes, you can enjoy delicious ice cream at home or work for a great pick-me-up.

ColdSnap Smoothies and Frozen Yogurt at Office 

The Smoothest Ice Cream with Micro-Sized Ice Crystals and No Refreezing 

ColdSnap’s cutting-edge freezing technology creates micro-sized ice crystals that are 40% smaller than store-bought products, guaranteeing ColdSnap’s amazing taste and the smoothest texture possible. “ColdSnap ice cream is creamy with a smoother mouth-feel than ice cream that undertakes a deep freeze that is required when shipping in refrigerated trucks and kept frozen in the grocery store,” said Matt Fonte, President, Sigma Phase, Corp. “Frozen yogurt made with the ColdSnap machine has a dense, velvety texture, and frozen cocktails (including Margaritas, Pina Coladas, Daiquiris, and Mud Slides) have a silky smooth consistency that is virtually impossible to replicate in any home or bar. In short, ColdSnap makes a smoother, better tasting product.” 

Ideal for Home & Commercial Use 

For the home, the ColdSnap system is perfect for better-tasting, fresher, frozen desserts and beverages, with individual selections to fit everyone’s taste. ColdSnap Pods are great for an everyday treat, family fun, parties, or special events – without the advance preparation or hard-to-clean mess of traditional ice cream makers and blenders. The ColdSnap system is also ideal for offices, cafeterias, gyms and spas, car dealerships, and other service providers as a one-of-a-kind benefit for businesses that want to encourage and reward employees or customers.  

In addition, convenience stores, and other commercial settings, such as airports and hotels, can place a ColdSnap machine to generate revenue and profit through the continuous sale of ColdSnap Pods without having to worry about keeping the Pods frozen (they are shelf stable at room temperature) and without the daily clean-up required of contemporary frozen confection and beverage machines. The ColdSnap system provides higher margins since the machine doesn’t have to be plumbed for installation, cleaned after use, and the Pods do not require refrigeration. 

ColdSnap Eliminates the Traditional Cold Supply Chain 

ColdSnap Pods are shelf-stable and can be shipped at ambient temperature. As a result, the ColdSnap system is independent of the expensive, unreliable, and environmentally unfriendly cold chain that is used to bring factory-frozen ice cream and other frozen products to market. ColdSnap has potential to grow in the already massive global ice cream market, including geographies where the cold chain is weak and unreliable. 

Revolutionizes Direct-To-Consumer Ice Cream Opportunities while Reducing Carbon Emissions 

ColdSnap revolutionizes the direct-to-consumer ice cream experience. Through the ColdSnap system, ice cream can now be shipped direct-to-consumer both to homes and offices without the use of dry ice or cold storage, reducing the costs traditionally associated with shipping frozen ice cream. Additionally, ColdSnap does not require environmentally-unfriendly refrigeration systems of factory-frozen ice cream, and therefore, will reduce carbon emissions associated with making and distributing ice cream by 25% to 50%. ColdSnap Pods are recyclable, made from infinitely recyclable Aluminum.   

Made for Heavy-Duty Professional Grade Use   

ColdSnap is made robustly for commercial use.  The ColdSnap system produces multiple consecutive frozen confections without requiring a time-consuming re-cooling phase. The machine accepts shelf-stable, ambient temperature ColdSnap Pods, then repeatably freezes and dispenses the contents of the Pods.  

ColdSnap Features:

·        Makes single servings of frozen confections: ice cream, frozen cocktails, smoothies, frozen yogurt, frozen coffee, frozen healthy shakes, and slushies.

·        Tastes super smooth: creates micro-sized ice crystals that result in the best tasting ice cream, smoothies, and frozen cocktails you’ve ever had.

·        Fast, no prep needed: makes frozen confections in 60-120 seconds depending on flavor and type.

·        No freezing or dry ice needed: Pods can be shipped without refrigeration and kept on a shelf instead of a freezer.

·        Easy set-up: simply plug in the ColdSnap machine and follow the on-screen instructions.  No plumbing required. 

·        No consumables needed: no cartridges or filters needed.

·        No clean-up: frozen confections are dispensed from the Pod into the bowl without touching the machine.   No part of the machine touches the food ingredients.  

·        Recyclable: Pods are made of recyclable Aluminum.

·        Dimensions: small size fits easily in a kitchen, desk, counter, or table, with a weight of ~ 50 lbs.

Simple steps to use:

1) Select an Aluminum ColdSnap Pod containing a favorite frozen confection (ice cream, smoothie, frozen coffee, frozen yogurt, frozen protein shakes and/or frozen cocktail).

2) Insert the Pod into the ColdSnap machine.

3) Chill out for 60–120 seconds and enjoy the best tasting, smoothest ice cream or other frozen confection.

ColdSnap is Designed to Fit Conveniently on the Countertop

The ColdSnap Story

When nightly bedtime stories grew dull for Matt Fonte and his two daughters, they decided to swap magic tree house and fairytale princess books for a more creative past-time: invention journals. Topping the list of potential inventions: a better ice cream machine for at-home use without all the hassle. His daughters envisioned a Keurig^®-style machine that could generate ice cream immediately without a mess. This inspired Fonte, a serial entrepreneur, who saw great potential in the idea.  

To execute this invention, Fonte formed Sigma Phase, Corp. in October 2018 in Massachusetts, with the singular objective to transform the way frozen confections were produced, transported, purchased, and enjoyed. The Company has already been awarded 13 patents with another 40 patent applications pending. ColdSnap has the promise to disrupt the massive global ice cream market with its delicious, personalized, frozen confectionery experience, including in geographies where the cold chain is weak and unreliable.  For more information, demonstrations, or to discuss investment and partnership opportunities, please see the website: www.ColdSnap.com.

CLASSIC 1986 HACKER THRILLER THE TRAPDOOR

NOW RE-ISSUED AS AN E-BOOK 

The Trapdoor Novel is a Trip Back in Time to the Early 1980s,

When Personal Computers First Emerged – and So Did Hackers 

What Motivates Hackers? A “Trapdoor” is a Computer Technique that Hackers Use for Theft 

September 9, 2020, Hilo, Hawaii – Hal Glatzer’s The Trapdoor, a classic paperback thriller from the 1980s about computer hackers and cyber-crime, has been re-issued as an e-book. Published in mobi (Kindle) format and epub format for tablets, smartphones, and computers, the novel is available today from Amazon’s Kindle Store, at:

https://www.amazon.com/s?k="The+Trapdoor"+glatzer&i=digital-text&ref=nb_sb_noss  and Glatzer’s website at: www.halglatzer.com.

The Trapdoor was one of the first published novels to be set in the underground world of cyber theft and online pornography. In the book, a hacker gets into trouble with organized crime and has to hack his way out. The “trapdoor” title refers to a sinister technique for theft; but it also alludes to the risk of falling into one’s own trap.

What Motivates Hackers?

A forerunner to today’s notorious hackers, such as “Anonymous,” the protagonist of The Trapdoor is Joe (alias “The Lightning”), a techie nerd who lives quietly in a small apartment, surrounded by computers. He secretly steals money online, not just for the money, but also to flirt with danger -- an addiction for many hackers. “The Lightning” is drawn into a wider digital underworld of theft and porn until he’s not safe anymore. Suddenly he has enemies that want to kill him.

“Machine of the Year”

Progress in computer technology was front-page news. In 1983, TIME magazine – for the first time ever – didn’t name a “Man of the Year.” Instead, the editors named the personal computer “Machine of the Year.” Entrepreneurs, like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, were just getting noticed; and magazines were launched to help people use those new “machines.” Noisy modems slowly dialed computers over telephone lines and data storage was limited to mere kilobytes on easily-damaged floppy disks. But technologies were constantly surging forward, and illegal computing activities surged right along with them. Readers of The Trapdoor will get a glimpse of that early time, when anything seemed possible, and the shadowy side of high-technology was just coming into view. And readers of a certain age, who were intrigued by computers in the ’80s, will enjoy The Trapdoor as a trip back in time.

Hal Glatzer wrote The Trapdoor while he was an editor and writer for the earliest computer magazines. He also wrote non-fiction books about word processing, satellites, and telecommunications. Interviewing technology entrepreneurs and insiders in the early ‘80s, inspired Glatzer to write this high-tech thriller.

“At that time,” says author Hal Glatzer, “email, cellphones, and the internet were years away in the future. What was high-tech in 1980 looks primitive now, but it was the state-of-the-art. And people who mastered it could do some remarkable things with it, both legal and illegal. Technology has evolved since those days. But as long as loners find their inner strength to overcome bullies, this period-piece will remain an inspiration to all.”

Availability

Originally published as a paperback, The Trapdoor has just been re-issued as an e-book in both the mobi format (for Kindle readers) and the epub format (for computers, tablets, smartphones, and other devices). It is available immediately for $4.95 from Amazon’s Kindle Store, at:  https://www.amazon.com/s?k="The+Trapdoor"+glatzer&i=digital-text&ref=nb_sb_noss and Glatzer’s website: www.halglatzer.com .

About the Author

Hal Glatzer was there, then. He began his writing career as a newspaper reporter in 1970, and by the end of the decade, he was doing television news with portable videotape equipment. That technology intrigued him, as did another new invention: the computer word processor. So he decided to make the fast-moving digital world of computers and telecommunications his journalistic beat.

In 1980, he bought his first computer: a Zenith Z-89. Using the eight-bit Zilog Z80 microprocessor and the CP/M operating system, the computer held 48 KB of internal memory (RAM), and used removable 5¼ inch floppy disks that held 100 KB. That may not seem like much computing power today, but it immediately boosted Glatzer’s productivity as a professional writer, and he turned that expertise into his first non-fiction book: Introduction to Word Processing (Sybex, 1981).

He subsequently wrote two books on what was then the state-of-the-art in global telecommunications: The Birds of Babel: Satellites For a Human World (Sams, 1983); and Who Owns the Rainbow? Conserving the Radio Spectrum (Sams, 1984). Glatzer was one of the founders of the Computer Press Association, a virtual press club for fellow writers and editors in the field. He served as its vice president, and for six years chaired the committee that created and presented the annual Computer Press Awards for excellence in high-tech journalism.

Glatzer has subsequently had more mystery novels published; but his first was The Trapdoor. “Considering how far information technology has progressed since the early ‘80s,” he says, “I want to give the computer users of today a good idea of what life was like when the computer revolution began, and give people like me, who were there, then, a trip into the past. And the best way to bring that vintage paperback to today’s tech-savvy readers is to turn it into an e-book.”

VIVID-PIX BRINGS BACK FAMILY MEMORIES --
RELIVE PAST REUNIONS & CREATE THIS YEAR’S -- VIRTUALLY
 
Vivid-Pix AI Photo Restoration Software Instantly Restores Old Photos
  

                                                                                                                              Before                                                                                    After

June 4, 2020, Savannah, GA -- Vivid-Pix brings back family reunion memories while making new ones. Family reunions may be different this year, but Vivid-Pix RESTORE patented AI image restoration software will help you relive past reunions and virtually create this year’s reunion. Vivid-Pix instantly brings your treasured, old photos back to life and with these tips to plan a virtual reunion, you can connect with family members and friends when you aren’t able to meet in person. With Vivid-Pix technology, make this a year to remember and share with future generations. 

Relive Yesterday’s Memories and Plan a Virtual Reunion  

Vivid-Pix and Maureen Taylor, The Photo Detective^®, have collaborated to put together everything you need to hold a virtual reunion. Learn more at https://vivid-pix.com/solutions.

“Many of us are stuck at home, missing events that we love and look forward to. A beloved photo from years past, faded with time, and revived with Vivid-Pix RESTORE makes us feel more connected. With photos and meeting apps, we can communicate with our families to relive history and make new memories,” states Rick Voight, CEO, Vivid-Pix. 

“Photographs from family reunions provide successive generations with a sense of identity, connection, and belonging,” says Maureen Taylor, The Photo Detective^®. “Every reunion, my husband’s family poses for a family portrait. That’s 60 years of tradition captured in a photographic time capsule. These images inspire younger generations to ask questions about those relatives.”

Family Reunion Photo (~1910) - Maureen Taylor,  The Photo Detective^®

Family Photography is Key to Maintaining Family History 

Family photos from the past are a critical component in maintaining history for generations to come. Gordon Clarke, Strategic Solution Manager for the non-profit organization FamilySearch International, the world’s largest genealogy organization sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, recently talked about the importance of organizing and restoring photos to trace family roots. Gordon said, “There’s all the photos out there that are lost. And you look at writings on the back of photos, albums that get destroyed by floods, and weather, and heat. There’s just so much valuable information; that the information that is in people’s homes is just as important, or even more important, than the information that is in archives and libraries and government record storing facilities. So it’s a natural outgrowth to start looking at: ‘How do we help people preserve digitally, not only the photo, but the story surrounding the photo, the people, the events?’”  

“Photos are a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone” 

Kim S. Harrison, a Vice President of the Phoenix, Arizona-based West Valley Genealogical Society and formerly with Ancestry.com, believes that the rush of feelings that come forward from a photo is priceless. “I came across this wonderful quote, ‘Photos are a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone,’” Shares Kim. “I do feel the quote sums up my feelings as I go through boxes and boxes of old photos. It is a passport to past memories. Extra special since so many family members are no longer with us. Photos are priceless!”

PHOTO REMINISCING CAN REDUCE STRESS & DEPRESSION
DURING CORONAVIRUS
 
Vivid-Pix Celebrates May’s National Mental Health Month
& National Photo Month
 

Savannah, GA, April 30, 2020 – Vivid-Pix, www.vivid-pix.com, is celebrating  National Mental Health Month and National Photography Month in May by showcasing the healing power of photos and Vivid-Pix RESTORE photo restoration software to enhance “Reminiscence Therapy.” According to the National Institutes of Health, “Reminiscence Therapy (RT) involves the discussion of past activities, events and experiences with another person or group of people, usually with the aid of tangible prompts, such as photographs, household and other familiar items from the past, music, and archive sound recordings.” To help combat COVID-19 quarantine stress, loneliness and isolation, Vivid-Pix will be hosting Mental Health Month and Photography Month classes and specials throughout May. These free and low-cost classes include dementia, Alzheimer’s, photo organization, photo restoration, and genealogy -- available at: www.vivid-pix.com/education.  In addition, during the month of May, a 20% discount is available on Vivid-Pix RESTORE software when using this special offer: www.vivid-pix.com/reminisce.

Value of Pictures to Reduce Stress 

Ever look at a photo prompting a memory and a smile to flash across your mind and face? It’s a physiological reaction. When looking at photos, cortisol levels are lowered, and this reduces stress. According to WebMD, the hormone cortisol manages the body’s stress levels. If you’re constantly under stress, cortisol can derail your body’s most important functions, leading to health problems, including anxiety and depression. With the psychological impact of social distancing, missing holidays with loved ones, isolation, fear of sickness, and financial issues from closures, reminiscing about cherished memories is more important than ever.  

Experts Use Photography Reminiscence Therapy to Help Depression, Dementia, & Alzheimer’s 

Experts have been using Reminiscence Therapy for years to help depression, dementia, and Alzheimer’s. As reported by NPR, “Researchers find that dementia patients who engage in activities such as gathering photographs and talking about family see improvements in their quality of life and are less agitated,” said Shirley Wang, NPR. 

Europe-based Researchgate reported that Reminiscence Therapy is an effective way to increase self-esteem and decrease behavioral disturbances in those with dementia, and their research proved that photography was the best therapy. “Eighty percent of the subjects (12 out of 15) showed more attention to their personalised reminiscence photo video than to the other two types of TV shows, thus suggesting the effectiveness of personalised reminiscence photo videos for reminiscence intervention.”  

Taking a daily photo also improved well-being through self-care, community interaction, and the potential for reminiscence. According to ScienceDaily.com, U.K. researchers said it’s “an active process of meaning making, in which a new conceptualisation of wellbeing emerges.” “[If] I’m ever feeling down or something, it’s nice to be able to scroll back and see good memories. You know, the photos I’ve taken will have a positive memory attached to it even if it’s something as simple as I had a really lovely half an hour for lunch sitting outside and was feeling really relaxed,” said a study participant.  

Vivid-Pix helps people relive photos and documents by connecting/re-connecting with their most treasured memories and their roots. “At this time of social isolation, the benefits of reliving cherished memories are greater than ever. Study after study highlight the emotional, mental and physical health benefits that looking at photos provide to the young and old alike,” said Rick Voight, CEO of Vivid-Pix. “So, if you want to reduce stress, pull out your photo albums!”

Vivid-Pix Photo & Genealogy Education Bring Back Memories 

In addition to many free classes, fee-based classes are streamed live, recorded, and posted to Vimeo for $1.99 (30-day rental). Recordings will be uploaded within one or two days after live events. Vivid-Pix’s online Genealogy Classes are held at 8 PM ET at: https://vivid-pix.com/education and are also available on demand. The schedule can be found below:
