Ziggi's Coffee Welcomes Military Veteran Franchise Owner With Latest Agreement
The Marine Veteran Plans to Open the Drive-Thru Coffee Concept in Wheat Ridge, Colorado
LONGMONT, Colo. (PRWEB) January 25, 2018
Ziggi’s Coffee (http://www.ZiggisCoffee.com), a Colorado-based drive-thru coffee concept, announces a new franchise agreement has been awarded to Military Veteran Preston Silvey of Wheat Ridge, Colorado.
Silvey is a former U.S. Marine who also owns a hardwood flooring company and was looking to expand his business portfolio. He and his wife Lindsey Silvey were introduced to Ziggi’s through a franchise consultant and were immediately attracted to the concept. Both Colorado natives, the two have strong ties to the community northwest of Denver where they will soon introduce the unique and convenient drive-thru coffee franchise.
“We both grew up in Colorado and our families have a lot of ties to the area, so when we discovered Ziggi’s and the fact that it’s local, that was big for us,” said Silvey. “We really like the family feel but were also drawn to the quality of the product, the great customer service, the convenience and affordability, as well as the potential profit of the drive-thru concept.”
Hoping to capture customers on the move, Silvey sees Ziggi’s as a much needed option for the community and says he’s excited for the opportunity to get in early and help grow the brand. While his experience as a business owner has given him insight into what it takes to make a business successful, his service in the military has taught him to follow processes, a skill that can be vital in franchising.
“Buying a franchise provides a good transition to veterans, allowing them to get into entrepreneurship and business ownership without a lot of the risk that’s involved with opening something on your own,” he said. “A franchise provides a concept that has already been proven and there are processes in place. You get a lot of support from a franchise like Ziggi’s; they are committed to helping you succeed just as much as you want to be successful. I think it’s a huge benefit to have someone to help us along the way.”
Ziggi’s Coffee continues a quick-paced growth trajectory all across the country, with eight existing locations and 11 more currently in development. Individuals who are interested in franchising with Ziggi’s Coffee can find more information at http://www.ZiggisCoffee.com/franchise and are encouraged to get in touch with the Franchise Team by filling out an online inquiry form.

Satanic Temple Sues To End Missouri Pro-Life Laws
Pro-life laws in Missouri have drawn the ire of members of the Satanic Temple, which has filed a lawsuit claiming the laws violate their religious freedom.
State law requires abortion providers to distribute a booklet from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services which includes the statement: “The life of each human being begins at conception. Abortion will terminate the life of a separate, unique, living human being.”
This law and others drew objections from the Satanic Temple and one of its members, whose lawsuit claims the restrictions violate her religious freedom. The politically active group, based in Salem, Mass., was founded by self-described atheists who profess disbelief in a literal Satan.
The plaintiff goes by the name Mary Doe in the lawsuit, not using her name due to fears of personal attack. In 2015 she traveled to a St. Louis Planned Parenthood clinic from southeast Missouri for the abortion.
The lawsuit seeks to block Missouri’s three-day waiting period for an abortion and a requirement that doctors who perform abortions offer the booklet to women seeking abortions. The suit further objects to requirement that abortionists must offer the women an ultrasound and a chance to hear a fetal heartbeat.
The plaintiff’s complaint says her professed tenets include a belief that a woman’s body is “inviolable and subject to her will alone” and that she makes health decisions regarding her health “based on the best scientific understanding of the world,” according to her complaint. The complaint says a pregnancy is “human tissue” and part of her body that “she alone” can decide to remove.
W. James MacNaughton, a New Jersey lawyer, represented her before the Missouri Supreme Court Jan. 23.
“It is a bedrock principle of our culture (and) of our country that we choose for ourselves what to believe by way of religious beliefs,” MacNaughton told the court, according to the Associated Press. “It’s not the business of government to tell us that.”
The Missouri attorney general’s office is defending the restrictions on abortion, saying religious freedom protections do not apply.
Solicitor General John Sauer told the court that such laws would only protect against obstacles to practicing one’s belief or being forced to violate one’s religion.
MacNaughton, the plaintiff’s lawyer, told the Washington Post the lawsuit was prompted by the Hobby Lobby decision favoring the store owners whose Christian beliefs conflicted with federal mandates to provide abortifacient contraceptives in their employee plans.
“I have thought the really defining issue is religion,” he said. “Are you committing murder when you have an abortion? That’s a religious question.”
The Satanic Temple has filed a similar lawsuit in federal court. Its website says its members and allies have provided “religious exemption and legal protection against laws that unscientifically restrict women’s reproductive autonomy.”
The group’s founders say they identify with Satan’s putative outsider role.
Lucien Greaves is one of the founders. In a statement, he contended the legal case showed the group is “on the front lines working to restore and preserve Enlightenment values.”
In 2014 the group attempted to stage a re-enactment of a satanic “black mass” at Harvard University, initially claiming it would use a consecrated Host from a Catholic Mass. The Harvard Extension Cultural Studies Club had intended to host the event on campus. The event was voluntarily moved from campus and then postponed indefinitely after loss of venue.
The group has also previously engaged in political advocacy.
In 2015 it had planned to place a statue of an occultic Baphomet figure on the grounds of the Oklahoma capitol on religious freedom claims. Shortly afterward, a court ordered the removal of a Ten Commandments monument on the capitol grounds.
In response to a Minnesota town’s debate over a veterans’ memorial that had a cross, the group proposed its own version of a memorial involving pentagrams. Reported by Eurasia Review 8 hours ago.

The Georgia Manufacturing Alliance Celebrates their 10 Year Anniversary on February 1st
GMA has grown to over 250 members representing over 60,000 employees with six chapters across the state.
ATLANTA (PRWEB) January 26, 2018
The Georgia Manufacturing Alliance (GMA) will celebrate its 10th Year Anniversary on February 1st at the 57th Fighter Group Restaurant. Industry leaders from around the state will come to show support for GMA and its founder Jason Moss who envisioned a network that would support Georgia’s manufacturing community. A special proclamation will be given from the Governor’s office recognizing the accomplishments of Mr. Moss and his organization.
Lt. Colonel Waldo Waldman, author of the NY Times and Wall Street Journal Best Seller – Never Fly Solo, will also be addressing the group. He is a highly experienced combat veteran with over 2,650 flight hours and sixty-five real world combat missions, having flown both in Iraq enforcing the “No-Fly Zone” and in Yugoslavia during Operation Allied Force in 1999. Part of the proceeds from GMA’s 10th Year Anniversary will go to support the Veterans Empowerment Organization which provides housing and resources for veterans in transition. For more details about this event and to register, please visit https://www.georgiamanufacturingalliance.com/events/gma-10th-anniversary-celebration---atlanta
“I started this organization in 2008 when manufacturers were struggling, and the economy was at its lowest,” said Mr. Moss, CEO of the Georgia Manufacturing Alliance. “With the current administration’s focus on bringing manufacturing back to the U.S., I anticipate that the next several years will see tremendous innovation and growth for our industry.”
The Georgia Manufacturing Alliance began with a core group of 15 manufacturers and service providers that saw a need to find local resources for their industry. They wanted to buy, sell and trade locally, but did not have the platform and resources to make the connections. GMA has grown to over 250 members representing over 60,000 employees with six chapters across the state.
The GMA staff and Chapter Directors work together to coordinate plant tours, educational workshops, and networking events in their regions. Each month GMA provides plant tours across the state where others can learn best business practices from their peers. In 2017 GMA hosted 115 tours and events including tours at Bitzer USA, Clorox, Daniel Defense, Honda Precision Parts, Husqvarna, KIA, Kings Hawaiian, Kraiburg TPE, MTI Baths, Olympic Steel, PowerTech, Savannah Bee, Southwire, Winsmith, and Yamaha.
Other resources that have been developed by the Georgia Manufacturing Alliance include:· The “Buy from Georgia Month Proclamation” – Industry leaders from across the state join GMA Members at the State Capitol to recognize the importance of Georgia Made Products.
· The Georgia Manufacturing Directory – A desktop and online listing of GMA members that manufacture products and provide services to the manufacturing community.
· BuyFromGeorgia.com – This website highlights over 800 consumer-based products that are made in Georgia and can be bought on Amazon.
· The Georgia Manufacturing Summit – Held October 10, 2018 at the Cobb Galleria, this event attracts over 700 industry professionals from across the Southeast.

NightFood (NGTF) Securing "Half-Baked" Brand Name for Cannabis and CBD Related Snack Lines
TARRYTOWN, NY, Jan. 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NightFood Holdings, Inc. (OTC: NGTF) the category leading, better-for-you, sleep-friendly nighttime snack company, announced today that MJ Munchies, an NGTF wholly owned subsidiary, has completed the trademark application process to protect the brand name “Half-Baked” for its cannabis and CBD related snack lines. “We believe Half-Baked will prove to be an amazingly valuable brand name in this space as more and more legalization occurs across the United States. We almost can’t believe our good fortune,” exclaimed CEO Sean Folkson. “When our legal team informed us that their search showed it was available, we knew immediately it was an opportunity we needed to jump on.”
The application was prepared and submitted by NGTF intellectual property legal counsel, Pinnacle IP Strategies. The trademark would cover and protect the use of the name “Half-Baked” as it relates to packaged snacks such as potato chips, tortilla chips, and popcorn, as well as baked goods such as brownies, cupcakes, and mini-muffins.
In other recent developments, the Company is proud to announce it has partnered with Rock and Wrap It Up!, a non-profit think tank dedicated to addressing the issues of hunger and poverty in America.
The Company has committed to donating NightFood bars each month so that local community centers affiliated with Rock and Wrap It Up! can have a “NightFood Night” once a month for the people who regularly get their meals there.
“We were introduced to this great organization by one of our earliest investors, and believe this is an amazing cause,” explained Company CEO Sean Folkson. “What originally started as a one-time NightFood donation will now become an ongoing relationship.”
Rock and Wrap It Up! was started in 1991 and works to reduce poverty across North America. “It is a win-win for RWU and NightFood,” said Syd Mandelbaum, CEO and Founder. “There is a huge at-risk population who will benefit from these donations.”
NightFood CMO Peter Leighton added, “As a brand, NightFood exists to help give consumers better nighttime snack choices than the cookies, chips, ice cream, and candy that they often snack on at night. It is not lost on us that the problem we solve is one of abundance, and that many people are not as fortunate.”
“This is the perfect way for us to be able to give back. As our Company and our revenues continue to grow, we look forward to working with Syd and his team as they support local non-profits with the resources they need to carry out their missions,” commented Folkson.

“We were introduced to this great organization by one of our earliest investors, and believe this is an amazing cause,” explained Company CEO Sean Folkson. “What originally started as a one-time NightFood donation will now become an ongoing relationship.”
Rock and Wrap It Up! was started in 1991 and works to reduce poverty across North America. “It is a win-win for RWU and NightFood,” said Syd Mandelbaum, CEO and Founder. “There is a huge at-risk population who will benefit from these donations.”
NightFood CMO Peter Leighton added, “As a brand, NightFood exists to help give consumers better nighttime snack choices than the cookies, chips, ice cream, and candy that they often snack on at night. It is not lost on us that the problem we solve is one of abundance, and that many people are not as fortunate.”
“This is the perfect way for us to be able to give back. As our Company and our revenues continue to grow, we look forward to working with Syd and his team as they support local non-profits with the resources they need to carry out their missions,” commented Folkson.

Haystax Technology and Syntelligent Sign Reseller Agreement
Companies Collaborate to Offer Pioneering User Behavior Analytics Solution for Insider Threat Detection to Federal Agencies
Falls Church and McLean, VA (PRWEB) January 26, 2018
Haystax Technology and Syntelligent Analytic Solutions, LLC (Syntelligent) are pleased to announce that they have signed a non-exclusive Value-Added Reseller (VAR) agreement.
Under the terms of the agreement, Syntelligent will offer Haystax Technology’s market-leading user behavior analytics (UBA) solution for insider threat detection and continuous evaluation (CE) to federal government organizations, including those in the intelligence community.
Haystax Technology’s UBA solution, called Constellation for Insider Threat, is optimized for a range of use cases where user trustworthiness is a primary concern. Besides insider threats and CE, these include account and system compromise and cyber-fraud, plus a variety of mission-specific applications where the adaptability of the product's Carbon ‘whole-person’ behavioral model has proven to be a key ‘force multiplier.’
“User behavior analytics is experiencing tremendous interest and growth at present, and we are pleased that Syntelligent sees far-reaching value in our Constellation for Insider Threat product and our patented model-first approach,” said Bryan Ware, CEO of Haystax Technology. “With this new agreement we will be well-placed to further expand our high-profile customer presence in the all-important federal government market."
Syntelligent will focus on addressing federal agencies’ need for a holistic analytics solution for insider threat detection and CE.
“Numerous studies show that the ability of insiders to cause harm to personnel or information systems is growing and requires a holistic approach to identify and mitigate the threat,” said Stephen Synnott, CEO of Syntelligent. “The federal government is moving toward continuous evaluation to address this issue. Constellation for Insider Threat will enable customers to identify potential threats early and take preventive action.”
Syntelligent has been an industry leader not only in harnessing advanced technology fielded by Haystax, but by investing in research to understand how todays ‘Millennial Generation’ analysts communicate and learn and their perception of security processes and practices. This VAR is a win-win for the government and industry, and will make classified and proprietary data much more secure.
Prospective customers who are interested in hearing more about this unique solution can contact Syntelligent at info(at)syntelligent(dot)com or 540-735-4570 ext: 503

Bee Token Partners With WeTrust To Strengthen Insurance Offering In New Home-Sharing Network Powered by Blockchain
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bee Token, a San Francisco-based startup utilizing an ERC-20 utility token for its Beenest decentralized home-sharing network, announced a new partnership today with WeTrust, a blockchain-based platform for financial empowerment, to provide a decentralized insurance layer based on crowdsourced security deposits for Bee Token users, and improve risk assessment capabilities by integrating user history on the Beenest platform. Bee Token and WeTrust will collaborate to incentivize good behavior among users by sharing information around trustworthiness and creditworthiness, thus minimizing risks associated with property damage to hosts’ rentals at cheaper insurance rates that cover both property and/or furniture damage.“We couldn’t be happier about this partnership with Bee Token,” said George Li, CEO of WeTrust. “This collaboration is exactly the sort of innovative use case that we believe will demonstrate the advantages of our platform in managing the complex processes involved with decentralized insurance and insurance-like products across diverse industries.”
This news comes on the heels of Bee Token’s oversubscribed token presale that garnered tremendous support from hundreds of investors all over the world, raising $5 million in just five minutes to complete the total $10 million private and public presale raise. The public token sale begins on January 31, 2018 at 12:00 p.m. PST after more than 100K participants registered to be whitelisted to participate. WeTrust’s own token crowdsale was held back in Spring 2017, raising a total of $5 million.
Beenest provides one of the first zero percent commission solutions for short-term home-sharing, offering incentives for both guests and hosts. Through decentralization, Beenest disrupts the current sharing economy model, using tokenization to allow early adopters and token holders to benefit from the growth of the Bee network by using Bee tokens in payment, arbitration and reputation protocols. By removing the middleman and introducing a decentralized, automated sharing economy platform, Beenest will reverse the concentrated distribution of ownership, double-digit transaction fees, and avoid the vulnerabilities to security breaches and data manipulation of the existing short-term housing marketplaces.
Public interest has swarmed the crypto housing rental startup resulting in Beenest being one of the top five largest Telegram groups at 50K members — the preferred social network of crypto — and one of the fastest growing Twitter channels with nearly 48K followers.
"The sharing economy began as an initiative to facilitate accessible, low-cost accommodations. However, the business model followed by platforms like Airbnb and Uber has resulted in multi-billion dollar valuations for leading brands while consumers pay guest and commission fees between 10 and 22 percent to cover company costs,” said Jonathan Chou, CEO of Bee Token. “Bee Token is bringing the community back to the sharing economy with a decentralized solution that benefits both guests and hosts by using the automation made available through Ethereum smart contracts to offer zero commission fees.”
The three protocols that Bee Token is building in order to offer zero commission short-term rentals are termed the “P-A-R” protocols which stands for “Payment, Arbitration, and Reputation.” The Payment protocol allows users to send and receive tokens that are held until the fulfillment of service. The Arbitration Protocol solves disputes through trustless voting, ensuring transparent and unbiased conflict resolution. Lastly, the Reputation Protocol manages reputation scores for all peer-to-peer entities that are backed by transparent algorithms defined in smart contracts and accessible to the masses.
In addition to decentralizing the Beenest platform, these native protocols are designed so that existing centralized sharing economy applications (e.g. Airbnb, Couchsurfing, etc.) can also build on top of Bee Protocols and tokenize their offerings, providing wider access to users interested in cryptocurrencies.
For more information, subscribe to Bee Token’s newsletter at beetoken.com/newsletter and join the Bee Token Telegram here and for more information on WeTrust, join their Telegram group here and explore their Trusted Lending Circles dApp, available on the Main Ethereum Network.
*About Bee Token:*
Bee Token is a decentralized ecosystem for the sharing economy powered by the BEE token. Bee Token’s seasoned team of industry veterans from some of the most disruptive companies in Silicon Valley including Google, Facebook, Uber, and Civic are reimagining the sharing economy by leveraging the efficiency and security of the Bee Protocols. BEE token is hosted on the Ethereum blockchain and used to power both the Bee Token ecosystem and the first application in the ecosystem, BeeNest, a short-term housing platform with zero percent commission and lower fees than competing, centralized platforms. For more information, visit https://www.beetoken.com/ or follow us on Twitter @thebeetoken.
*About WeTrust:*
WeTrust is an inclusive, decentralized platform that enables fair and equitable financial services (e.g. savings, lending, insurance products) to be built on the blockchain without the need for a traditional trusted third party. The WeTrust team is led by experienced industry veterans from McKinsey, Google, and PayPal, while Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin maintains an advisory role. In early 2018, WeTrust deployed one of the world's first decentralized fintech apps on the Ethereum blockchain, Trusted Lending Circles (TLC’s), to serve as a proof of concept for their decentralized insurance protocol, which will enable collaboration between disparate parties, transparent risk assessment, and decentralized claims validation.

Ready for roller-coaster ride
Bengaluru: The mega shopping festival for the eight teams of the Indian Premier League concluded on Sunday with all of them wearing a look of content at their purchases.
All of them came with a plan on whom they wanted to acquire, some shelling huge money for their targets and some getting them at a steal. At times they had to resort to alternatives when their targets were poached by others. However, in the end, it appears like most franchises have got their sides sorted with each of them having their own strengths and weakness. DH takes a look at how they stack up:
Royal Challengers
Yet again, RCB has assembled a brilliant squad on paper with a backup option for almost all slots. In Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers, they have two of the most destructive batsmen in world cricket. Quinton de Kock and Brendon McCullum are dangerous while Sarfaraz Khan and Manan Vohra are talented and offer hope. Spinning all-rounder Washington Sundar and attacking leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is a good slow bowling combination. Pace bowling department also wears a strong look in Mohammad Siraj, Nathan-Coulter Nile, Tim Southee, Chris Woakes and Umesh Yadav.
Chennai Super Kings
With an average age of 33 years, the two-time champions have chosen to repose their faith on the tried and tested. While their opening combo is a bit of concern, in Suresh Raina, Kedar Jadhav, skipper MS Dhoni, Dwayne Bravo and Ravindra Jadeja, theyve got a good blend of experience, power and swagger in the middle and lower order. With the Chidambaram Stadium generally friendly for spinners, it is clear why they roped in Imran Tahir and Harbhajan Singh to pair up with Jadeja. The problem lies in the pace department with none having major international experience.
Mumbai Indians
The most successful team were slow to start off but they have assembled another squad capable of going all the way. They have the class and leadership of Rohit Sharma, can bank on Evin Lewis, Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya for the big hits and Ishan Kishan for the exuberance of youth. Krunal Pandya will double up as the spinning all-rounder while in Jasprit Bumrah and Mustafizur Rahman, they have the two best death bowlers. Add Pat Cummins for raw pace, MI will be one tough team to beat.
Rajasthan Royals
RR broke the bank for Ben Stokes and Jaydev Unadkat but theyve made wise buys elsewhere too to create a strong group. Theyve got a good blend of classy batsmen, big-hitters, proven all-rounders and youngsters ready to steal the limelight. One among them is Jofra Archer, rated very highly. Their only worry is spin bowling with K Gowtham being the only frontline tweaker along with Karnataka mate Shreyas Gopal.
Delhi Daredevils
DD have packed their side with plenty of explosive batsmen who can tear apart bowling attacks. Living by the sword approach carries with it lots of risks. As such, theyll be hoping a couple of hitmen tee off every game. Also, they would want Glenn Maxwell to show some consistency. Though they have Kagiso Rabada, Trent Boult and Mohammed Shami, the bowling unit is nothing to shout home about with the latter prone to breakdowns. Amit Mishra is the only reliable spin option.
Kings XI Punjab
Kings XI is another side that will be relying on their batting to do the bulk of the job. The onus will be on Karnataka stars K L Rahul, Karun Nair and Mayank Agarwal while veterans Yuvraj Singh and Chris Gayle - both not in the greatest of forms - will be hoping to turn the clock back. Spinners R Ashwin and Axar Patel will have to share the bulk of the bowling duties as they dont boast a formidable pace line-up.
Kolkata Knight Riders
Although their CEO Venky Mysore believes they got a great squad, they perhaps look the weakest among all. Much will hinge on Robin Uthappa and Dinesh Karthik as the rest of their batting smacks of inexperience. With the likes of Mitchell Starc, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Kuldeep Yadav and Piyush Chawla, their bowling wears a strong look. Like KXIP, they too dont have a proven leader.
Sunrisers Hyderabad
Sunrisers is another side that has given plenty of thought to forming their composition. Their opening combination -- featuring Shikhar Dhawan and David Warner -- is perhaps the best and they have some really destructive batsmen in the middle-order and potent bowling unit as well.
Manish Pandey was bought for a whopping 11 crore and he brings explosiveness to the middle-order.
Retaining Rashid Khan through right to match is another plus for a very well assembled side.
