The program, now open for enrollment, will expand access to wider audience of business professionals to provide data-centric offerings

DALLAS (PRWEB) December 13, 2018

The Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University (SMU Cox) in Dallas, announced today that it is launching an online Master of Business Administration with Noodle Partners, the nation’s fastest-growing higher education provider. The SMU Board of Trustees voted at its December meeting to unanimously approve the new Online MBA, which will help equip graduates to handle unstructured problems via data analytics, team building and experiential learning.

“Offering an Online MBA will help SMU Cox expand access to our one-of-a-kind institution; we are very excited to bring our data-centric ideology to a wider audience of business professionals,” Cox School of Business Dean Matthew Myers said. “It’s important to us to partner with the best tech providers to ultimately build an incredible program that matches our on-ground offerings. We are confident that Noodle Partners shares those goals and will help us achieve them.”

“SMU Cox is a tremendously respected institution, both nationally and within the rich ecosystem of Texas schools,” Noodle Partners CEO John Katzman said. “We are excited to add this well-known business school to our growing list of university partners, especially considering our shared emphasis on the importance of data analysis in business.”

The top-50 business school anticipates that the new online program will prepare students to strategically and thoughtfully leverage data for problem-solving across a wide range of functional areas. The SMU Cox Online MBA program officially launched today and will focus on three Foundational Pillars: Leadership, Analytics, and Experiential Learning.

“Like all SMU Cox degree programs, the new Online MBA will focus on preparing students for the changing workforce and not just on providing skills to be job-ready today,” Associate Dean for Executive Education and Graduate Programs Shane Goodwin said.

Unlike other online program providers, Noodle Partners does not take a share of student tuition or lock schools into long, multi-year contracts that can consume 70 percent of program resources for decades.

“We have a different approach that does not cannibalize precious education resources,” said Katzman. “Instead, we work with our partners to design, build and launch programs that are unique to each school’s needs and let the schools capture the rewards of their innovations and investments.”

NEWTON, Mass. (PRWEB) December 13, 2018

Hospital IQ, the leading provider of predictive hospital operations software, today announced that the number of hospitals and health networks using its platform has more than tripled during 2018. The company’s momentum reflects the urgent need for healthcare executives to gain the operational clarity necessary to achieve superior financial and clinical operating performance without additional investments in capacity or staff. Hospital IQ also announced the addition of two industry veterans, Brian Graves, vice president, sales, and Bryan Dickerson, senior director, workforce solutions, to support the company’s continued, rapid growth.

“Healthcare costs are soaring. Hospital leaders are under enormous pressure to reduce costs, grow revenue and still maintain the highest level of patient care,” said Rich Krueger, CEO, Hospital IQ. “Data and data science hold many of the answers, yet most institutions still rely on labor-intensive, error-prone analysis when using data to make decisions. The Hospital IQ platform delivers the foreknowledge that healthcare executives require to align capacity and labor to true demand days in advance, giving them the ability to optimize margins, throughput and utilization while still ensuring access to quality care.”

Customer Acquisition Underscores Platform Strength
During 2018, Hospital IQ saw a 250% increase in the number of hospitals across the U.S. deploying its solutions. This growth was seen across both academic and large health systems, regional hospitals, as well as across several market-leading electronic health record (EHR) platforms, such as Epic, Cerner and Allscripts.

Hospital IQ for Census enables hospital leaders to anticipate and mitigate census-driven operational bottlenecks before they happen. The Census solution delivers scorecards, demand forecasts and outlier identification capabilities that enable emergency department and inpatient leadership to optimize patient throughput, labor and capacity across the hospital or entire health system.

Customers using Hospital IQ Census have reported improvements, such as:·     15% decrease in length of stay
·     10% decrease in emergency department boarding time
·     50% decrease in patients leaving emergency department without being seen

Hospital IQ for Perioperative applies hospital-specific policies, machine learning and optimization algorithms to perioperative data to accurately forecast OR usage and make recommendations that will improve block, OR and staff utilization, as well as grow volume. Leading hospitals and health networks have deployed the solution to improve productivity and grow volume without increasing costs.

Customers using Hospital IQ for Perioperative reported improvements, such as:·     13% increase in OR utilization
·     4% increase in surgical volume

Hospital IQ for Infusion automatically optimizes daily scheduling to maximize throughput, balance staff workload and reduce patient wait times. Customers deploying Hospital IQ for Infusion have seen a 15% decrease in patient wait times, improved staff satisfaction and increased case volume.

Industry Veterans Bring Workforce Management Expertise
To accelerate market momentum, Hospital IQ has appointed Brian Graves as vice president, sales, and Bryan Dickerson as senior director, workforce solutions. Graves brings more than 25 years of healthcare IT experience to Hospital IQ. He has held a variety of positions in the healthcare industry, including sales, marketing, business development and service delivery at leading organizations, such as MEDITECH, Pyxis, Picis, Kronos and Connance. Dickerson brings 30 years of healthcare workforce management experience, having previously worked for API Healthcare (now Virence).

About Hospital IQ

National Nonprofit Honoring WWII Japanese American Veterans Expands Executive Team

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) December 13, 2018

Go For Broke National Education Center (GFBNEC) today announced that Michelle V. Enriquez has been named Vice President of Operations and Brandon Masashige Leong has been named Vice President of Development for the national nonprofit organization.

Both executives share a passion for GFBNEC’s mission of educating the public on the valor of Japanese American World War II veterans, having descended from Nisei veteran grandfathers.

As Vice President of Operations, Enriquez will focus on GFBNEC’s daily operations, strategizing and implementing financial and operational processes that will enable the organization to grow. Collectively, Enriquez has been immersed in business operations and nonprofit management for more than 12 years and has worked with organizations across the country developing programs, managing volunteers, and guiding partnerships. Most recently, she worked with U.S. Special Forces Gold Star families to provide support services to bereaved children and young adults. An honors graduate of the University of California at Santa Barbara, Enriquez lives in Torrance with her husband and two daughters.

As Vice President of Development, Leong will create and execute a comprehensive development plan for GFBNEC as it expands and raises its national profile. Leong joins GFBNEC from Keiro, where he was director of programs and strategic partnerships. Previously, he served as the program director for the East San Gabriel Valley Japanese Community Center. An Eagle Scout, Leong has been an active volunteer with the Boy Scouts of America for several years. He currently serves on the board of directors of Kizuna, a Little Tokyo-based organization focused on involving the next generation in the Japanese American community. A graduate of the University of La Verne, Leong lives in Hacienda Heights, Calif.

“The stories of Japanese American WWII veterans hold great value, teaching lessons of courage, integrity, patriotism and equality,” Enriquez said, noting that her maternal grandfather, Fred Ineo Kosaka, served with the Military Intelligence Service and later attained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. “It is a privilege to join an organization that is driving change through education.”

Leong, whose grandfather Bob Tadashi Fujihiro also served during WWII, noted that working with GFBNEC is in part a tribute to Nisei veterans of all units and conflicts. "I am honored to have the opportunity to share the important legacy of our veterans,” Leong said. “Their heroism is such an important part of our community's story."

Dr. Mitchell T. Maki, GFBNEC’s President and Chief Executive Officer, welcomed Enriquez and Leong as integral to the organization’s future plans. “Bringing both Michelle Enriquez and Brandon Leong onto our staff in leadership positions is an exciting move for GFBNEC. Michelle and Brandon are talented and experienced professionals who will help connect our story with new communities and generations across our nation.”

“Bellevue University’s partnership with OnlineDegree.com demonstrates our commitment to every person who is looking to build a brighter future through education, as well as our willingness to disrupt traditional education...” James Nekuda, Vice President, Strategic Partnerships.

“Even though demand to improve employability and learn modern skill sets is at an all-time high, adults have instead chosen higher education alternatives in greater numbers,” says Aldrich. “Our solution uniquely fits the needs of today’s working adults, and will make the choice of attending college that much easier.”

The Community Development Trust, Rocky Mountain Communities announce $25 million joint venture to preserve Denver’s Garden Court Apartments as affordable housing through 2033

Mayor Hancock hails new partnership as an ‘economic catalyst’ that provides long-term rent stability for low- to middle-income tenants at 300-unit complex in one of nation’s fastest-growing markets

New York, NY, Dec. 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Community Development Trust (“CDT”), which provides long-term debt and equity capital for the creation and preservation of affordable housing, today announced a new $25 million joint venture with Rocky Mountain Communities (“RMC”) to recapitalize the 300-unit Garden Court Apartments in northeast Denver near Aurora.

The CDT-RMC partnership will extend affordable rent policies at Garden Court – one of Denver’s largest housing developments, serving low- and middle-income wage earners across 15 three- and four-story buildings – through 2033 as part of a new 15-year regulatory agreement with the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA).

Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock touted the CDT-RMC investment and alliance with CHFA as an “economic catalyst” that aligns with the strategic aims outlined in the city’s Housing and Inclusive Denver five-year housing plan, which recommends implementing a suite of policies and actions from 2018 through 2023 to promote more affordable housing options.

“On behalf of the people of Denver, I want to thank the Community Development Trust, Rocky Mountain Communities and CHFA for helping to ensure that these affordable homes remain affordable for the people who proudly call Garden Court their home,” Mayor Hancock said.

“Affordable housing remains a primary challenge to our residents’ achieving the level of equity they should expect and deserve, and we’ve made great progress delivering on housing Denver families can afford. But we must do more,” Hancock said. “The commitment of CDT, RMC and CHFA to the preservation of diverse housing options that are accessible and affordable to all Denver residents exemplifies the type of unified effort we all hope to replicate moving forward in the Mile High City.”

As the city’s housing analysis noted, the Denver market “lacks rental units that are affordable and available to low-income households. Cost burdens are widespread, affecting 36 percent of Denver residents, and renters at a rate more than twice as high as owners. Across all income levels, these higher costs are disproportionately affecting extremely and very low-income households.”

Built in 1972, Garden Court Apartments was purchased out of foreclosure by RMC from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) in 1996. The property’s current rent-affordability protections were set to expire in December 2023. Garden Court is a mixed-income community with 75 units at market rate and 225 units serving moderate-, low- and very low-income residents who have few housing options of comparable quality and virtually none in terms of affordability in the rapidly gentrifying Denver area.

Garden Court is within one of the nation’s fastest-growing markets for development and near job centers such as the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, the Fitzsimons Innovation Community of bioscience companies, Children’s Hospital and a new Veterans Affairs Hospital. Developers recently broke ground on an $87 million, 253-apartment project with market-rate rents. The site also is close to public transportation, the four major interstates connecting the Denver metro area (I-225, I-270, I-25, I-70) and the 14-mile, multiuse Sand Creek Greenway. Several grocery stores and retail shopping options are less than 1 mile from the property, and the surrounding 6-mile radius includes several schools, including elementary through university-level institutions.

RMC’s partnership with CDT not only ensures rents will remain stable moving forward, but it will also fund $3.6 million in planned apartment and property improvements, including upgrades and repairs to plumbing, mechanicals, kitchens and bathrooms. Another highlight is that CDT and RMC have earmarked $50,000 to turn an old swimming pool that was no longer in use into a new soccer field for children, satisfying requests from many Garden Court families.

“The CDT-RMC joint venture provides peace of mind for Garden Court residents who want to live, work and raise families here with the comfort of knowing that they will be able to afford to stay in the community,” said RMC President and CEO Richard Taft.

CDT, based in New York City, is a rare combination of both a federally certified community development financial institution (CDFI) and a real estate investment trust, more commonly known as a REIT. While CDT does make loans, as a REIT it can also take partial ownership stakes in properties in exchange for cash that can be used for renovations to preserve properties and maintain their status as affordable.

The investment with CDT allows RMC to continue managing and maintaining the Garden Court complex, as well as to continue providing on-site services such as day care for preschool children, before- and after-school student activities and a community gardening program for senior citizens. The Garden Court investment is CDT’s second in Colorado, after CDT’s partnership in 2016 with Volunteers of America and the Colorado Springs Housing Authority to recapitalize Summit Apartments, a 256-unit mixed income property in Colorado Springs. RMC operates only within the state of Colorado, with the majority of its holdings in the Denver area.

“CDT’s investment with RMC – our first in Denver – is part of our larger commitment to ensuring long-term access to quality, safe and affordable housing throughout the country,” said Brian Dowling, Chief Investment Officer at CDT.

“We share RMC’s vision that hardworking families in Colorado should have the opportunity to feel connected to a community and enjoy a sense of pride in place,” Dowling said. “Our joint venture with RMC serves as a model of how a national mission-driven institutional investor can partner with a large nonprofit organization to help address the nation’s critical shortage of affordable housing.”

*About CDT

IDGlobal Corp. Issues Corporate Update *WHEATON, IL / ACCESSWIRE / December 13, 2018 / *The Board of Directors of IDGlobal Corp., a Colorado corporation (OTC PINK: IDGC) ("IDGC"), is today pleased to provide a corporate update regarding its present and future operations.

Mr. DuFort stated, "My interest is and always has been to fully-develop IDGlobal to its maximum potential for the benefit of its shareholders. IDGC has weathered some tough times, but current management decided to change the Company's business model in late 2018 by focusing on the integration of established companies into a public company. This along with new highly experienced executives coming aboard, and the highly talented operational management already in place, we believe this will be a very effective formula for the future in any industry. Currently, the company has developed a comprehensive plan of operations that will best serve our shareholders and others having business with IDGC and its' respective subsidiaries."

IDGC and its subsidiaries and direct coventurers, respectively and collectively seek safe-harbor in accordance with the provisions of the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995 for certain forward-looking statements made by any of them in this announcement, as the same are defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. A forward-looking statement is defined as a statement that cannot sustain itself as merely a historical fact. A forward-looking statement predicts, projects, or uses future events as expectations or possibilities. These statements can often be misleading, as they can be mistaken for factual statements, while the issuers are, in fact, speculating. Title 15 Section 78u-5 of the United States Code defines a forward-looking statement as including overly optimistic views as to a company's future economic performance, such as revenues or income, plans for future operations, or use of a report written by an outside reviewer. Certain terms or phrases indicate the use by an issuer of forward-looking statements, such as any tense from present to future or similar inflection of words comparable to "believe,'' "estimate,'' "anticipate,'' "plan,'' "predict,'' "may,'' "hope,'' "can,'' "will,'' "should,'' "expect,'' "intend,'' "is designed to,'' "with the intent,'' "potential,'' the negative of these words or such other variations thereon or comparable terminology, may indicate forward-looking statements; however, the absence of these terms or phrases does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

*About Monochrome.*

Monochrome is unique and current in today's marketplace.

Monochrome will leverage its relationship with Watershed Enterprises and Staffing's existing relationships with residential, commercial and industrial property owners as well as the local, state, and federal government agencies nationwide.

Monochrome's Board of Directors know that the CBD market is driven by health concerns and expanding product awareness. By combining the two under a single business model, Monochrome can expect to meet market demand by distributing a multitude of products. IDGC has targeted its own industry operational expert and their finalizing contract. The company has also attracted partners for a multitude of products in the hemp and CBD channels that will expand as Monochrome's product distribution increases. Monochrome's Board of Directors estimate that by the company's utilization of traditional and contemporary delivery methods (through its partners, such as beverage and food distributors), will best serve its development. Monochrome's use of non-traditional distribution and delivery channels (such as brokers who will drive business in health care, universities, and health awareness markets) would be equally impressive.

Following months of evaluation, research, development and guidance from the Strategic Advisory Board, management is excited to announce it has received final approval by the North Carolina Industrial Hemp Commission to cultivate and process Hemp and hemp-derived CBD products in North Carolina. The company will be heading in a new direction to pursue the Hemp and hemp-derived CBD markets effective immediately with the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill now fully legalizing Hemp and hemp-derived CBD so it is no longer a gray area marketplace.

Sean Spiegelman, BD CEO, stated, ''Four years ago we began the navigation of leveraging a key strategic partnership in a booming market to expedite our corporate growth. We see the same opportunity today in the Hemp and hemp-derived CBD markets, and we expect to announce a similar strategic partnership with a leading vertically integrated Hemp and hemp-derived CBD operation soon. It is an exciting time for the Company as we leverage our prior success into a new direction which we believe provides greater potential for long-term shareholder value.''

The final 2018 Farm Bill has passed both the Senate and House and is expected to be signed by President Trump shortly. The final bill legalized hemp cultivation and will be a catalyst for explosive growth in a nascent industry that some forecast could top $20 billion by 2022.

The lion's share of the roughly $800 million U.S. hemp market today is for products that include the non-psychoactive compound CBD, cannabidiol. Products infused with CBD are used for a wide range of medical conditions, ranging from epilepsy and multiple sclerosis to arthritis and chronic pain. Laws involving CBD products differ in each state.

But of interest to public cannabis companies is the bill's implications for the U.S. market for cannabidiol, a "non-psychoactive" chemical found in hemp and marijuana. The legislation has been cited by numerous public cannabis companies as the catalyst to formally enter the American CBD market, according to Cowen analyst Vivien Azer.

"This new [bill] version creates far more certainty around the legality of the commercial sale of hemp-derived products (with less than 0.3 percent THC, namely CBD), and codifies the legality of interstate commerce," Azer wrote Tuesday.

The long-awaited bill has removed industrial hemp from the federal government's list of controlled substances, making it a lawful agricultural commodity. The hemp legislation introduced by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., earlier this year also allows states to become the primary regulators of hemp cultivation, enables researchers to apply for federal grants and makes the crop eligible for crop insurance.

"This will open the floodgates for this industry to grow very rapidly and scale on a national level," said Bethany Gomez, director of research for Brightfield Group, a cannabis market researcher based in Chicago.

As part of the Company's new direction, some of the immediate initiatives management will be considering will include but not limited to: the board approval of a one-time special cash dividend of the majority of the net-after tax proceeds following the recent sale of all beer assets, corporate reorganization to include a completed a name change with FINRA, evaluate a potential change in the trading symbol, perform a corporate share restructuring to reflect the future new direction, potential auditing of the company financials, uplist to the OTC Markets QB or QX platform and continue the expansion of its Strategic Advisory Board (SAB) with key thought and business leaders.

Survey of Global Organizations Finds Senior Executives Lack Confidence in Their Crisis Management Plans

Morrison & Foerster and Ethisphere release Crisis Management Benchmarking Report, which includes best practices and insights for business leaders seeking to address shortcomings in their companies’ crisis preparedness

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) December 13, 2018

Morrison & Foerster, a leading global law firm, is pleased to present the inaugural global Crisis Management Benchmarking Report, which was conducted in partnership with the Ethisphere Institute, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices.

The report includes the results of a global survey of nearly 250 senior executives in ethics, compliance, legal, communications, and risk functions, from both public and private companies and non-profits across the world. The survey, which was conducted online, included questions about crisis management plans, the roles involved in the development of these plans, how companies prepare their teams, and the ways that companies use outside counsel for crisis management and preparedness. The data from this survey was combined with interviews from large, multinational companies with sophisticated legal, ethics, and compliance programs, as well as from Morrison & Foerster’s partners that have practices in various domains of corporate crisis management, in order to identify best practices for plan development, maintenance, and implementation.

To view the Crisis Management Benchmarking Report, visit: https://www.mofo.com/special-content/crisis-management-benchmarking-report/.

Some key findings from the survey about crisis management plans (CMPs) include:· Organizational confidence in CMPs appears to be low, with nearly two out of three senior executives being only somewhat (56%) or minimally confident (10%) in their plans;
· Cyber breaches continue to be the event most covered by CMPs, with 67% of companies including it in their plans; workplace violence and harassment followed as a close second, with 57% of companies including this event in their plans;
· In addition to cyber breaches and workplace violence and harassment, companies are planning for a range of other incidents, including intellectual property theft and litigation, terrorism, events relating to a government investigation, environmental damage, bribery and corruption allegations, and product recalls; and
· Outside counsel are being used for more than just general strategy and planning; approximately two out of five companies surveyed also use outside counsel for advance planning with communications firms (41%), which is a critically important element of a CMP.

“This report gives business leaders insights into current trends involving crisis management response around the world and highlights best practices for crisis planning,” said John Carlin, Chair of Morrison & Foerster’s Global Risk and Crisis Management practice group and Co-Head of the National Security practice group. “Having a well-designed crisis management plan is a critical aspect of being prepared. But too often, as this survey shows, executives lack confidence in their plan and don’t know whether it could be relied upon in an actual crisis. That is why it is so important that organizations practice how they would respond to different scenarios and test whether their plan is workable.”

Interviews with Morrison & Foerster attorneys and senior compliance and ethics professionals helped inform key recommendations covered in the report that will raise organizational confidence in crisis management plans. Examples include:

· CMPs should be well documented, practiced, quick to implement, and reviewed often; they should also include a plan for implementation if standard system access is not available;
· Senior-level stakeholders, including boards of directors, need be involved in the process and should conduct annual reviews of their CMPs;
· Companies should prepare across functions and not in silos; the best and most prepared companies have a crisis management team comprised of cross-functional leaders, all of whom must have good working relationships and regular communication;
· A CMP should be general, flexible, and adaptable; your plan should be able to cover incidents of all types, from cyber breach to natural disasters, leadership crisis (for example, the death of a CEO) to a dawn raid by government regulators; and
· Organizations should benchmark their plans annually, having formal, documented crisis management teams, and running drills on key risks areas at least annually.

David Newman, Of Counsel in Morrison & Foerster’s National Security and Global Risk & Crisis Management practices, previously served in the White House Counsel’s Office and on the National Security Council staff, where he helped coordinate the response to crises ranging from the Ebola outbreak in West Africa in 2014 and international terrorism incidents. He highlighted the importance of ensuring that the response plan reflects input from all relevant components of an organization and is tested with the actual participants who would be called upon to use it through tabletop exercises and other drills. “Don’t prepare in silos. Consider not just preparation within workstreams but true cross-functional planning; part of the purpose of a good tabletop exercise is to give people the experience of working through challenging scenarios and elements of the response. To be able to go fast and also be effective, you have to have practiced.”

15 former Facebook employees now working in the wild world of crypto and blockchain (FB)

15 former Facebook employees now working in the wild world of crypto and blockchain (FB)· *Facebook is working on a secretive blockchain project, but many Facebook employees are jumping ship to work on their own blockchain and crypto projects.*
· *The Facebook veterans are bringing high-level tech experience and discipline to a crypto sector famous for chaos and turmoil.*
· *Business Insider spoke to industry insiders to track down 15 alumni from the social network now working in the space, and interviewed many of them.*

Facebook turned heads earlier this year when it announced that it was diving into blockchain. 

The social media giant has yet to specify what its blockchain plans entail, but it is currently trying to hire crypto experts and build a team — a recruiting effort that news site Cheddar recently reported has proven more challenging than expected. 

The irony is that many of the big players in the crypto world once worked at Facebook. Dozens of Facebook alumni have left the company in recent years to join the blockchain boom. 

The engineering and management experience earned while working on a major tech product like Facebook's 2-billion member social network — along with the financial windfall many employees received in the 2012 IPO — have left the Facebook veterans well-positioned to build a new crop of crypto and blockchain startups. 

The former Facebook employees — and other tech workers from established companies — will have to apply their skills not only to professionalize the sector but to convince naysayers that the volatile market, currently suffering from a sharp drop in cryptocurrency prices, is not just a flash in the pan.

Business Insider spoke to people throughout blockchain ecosystem to track down some of the key Facebook alumni who made the jump to work in crypto, and asked what this shift could mean for the industry.

So, in no particular order, here are fifteen former Facebook employees now trying their luck in the wild world of crypto and blockchain:

*SEE ALSO: Months after killing its drone project, Facebook is testing experimental hardware at a new facility in the New Mexico desert*

-1. David Park, a Facebook product guru brought in to manage Refereum's operations.-

Until January 2018, David Park led the product team for Facebook's Mobile App Install Ads business.

He had been dabbling in the blockchain space and making investments since the end of 2013, but it was only then that he decided to jump into it full time — joining Refereum as its COO later that year. (By the end of his time at Facebook he was "thinking about crypto 24/7," he admitted.) 

Refereum is a startup that uses cryptocurrency to provide reward tokens to users of other apps and services to encourage growth; it has worked with triple-A game Battlefield, as well as a variety of blockchain projects.

"It was super exciting to think about jumping into this industry early on and being a player early on," he said, citing the example of how Facebook accelerated the "career trajectories" of early employees — saying he viewed similar potential for people working in blockchain.

He's also a founder of Orca, a syndicate of current or former Facebook employees who invest in crypto projects.-2. Veteran finance exec and initial blockchain skeptic Kahina Van Dyke.-

Unlike many of the Facebook employees who transitioned into crypto, Kahina Van Dyke's background isn't in tech but in finance.

She's a veteran of Citibank and MasterCard, and joined Facebook at the start of 2016 to serve as global director of financial service and payments.

She held that role for more than two years — until June 2018 — when she moved to Ripple, one of the biggest companies in the blockchain ecosystem, focused on enterprise payments. She now works as the firm's SVP of business and corporate development.

Van Dyke was, she admits, initially "vocally resistant" to the concept of bitcoin, but started getting more interested in 2016, when the hype around blockchain (as distinct from bitcoin) first started taking off.-3. Cryptocurrency index fund pioneer Hunter Horsley.-

Bitwise Asset Management launched the first cryptocurrency index fund back in 2017 — and at its helm is Hunter Horsley.

Horsley, the chief exec, cofounder the firm in November 2016 after leaving Facebook, where he was a product manager focusing on video monetization, and a product manager at Instagram before that.

Horsley was also named to Forbes’ 30 under 30 finance list in 2018.

America’s Best Wine Festival Returns to One of America’s 10 Best Small Historic Towns: Garagiste Festival Comes to Solvang February 8th – 10th

Over 40 small production winemakers showcase 150+ wines at the festival’s 7th anniversary in Solvang as the town celebrates its 107th anniversary; ‘Original Garagiste*’ seminar series continues with Central Coast winemaking legend Ken Brown; Sonoma Garagiste Festival: Northern Exposure dates announced

PASO ROBLES, Calif. (PRWEB) December 13, 2018

The Garagiste Wine Festival, which was named America’s Best Wine Festival by USA Today, returns February 8th – 10th to Solvang, which was named One of America’s 10 Best Small Historic Towns by USA Today. Tickets are now on sale.

This marks the seventh year that the Garagiste Festival: Southern Exposure has showcased the wines of some of California’s best small production winemakers in one of California’s most charming small towns, which is celebrating its 107th anniversary this year. Solvang is in the heart of the renowned Santa Ynez Valley wine country, just north of picturesque Santa Barbara, California.

“America’s best wine festival meets one of America’s best historic small towns for the seventh year in a row…what could make for a better wine country weekend?” said Garagiste Festival Co-founder Doug Minnick. “There is a special place in our hearts for Solvang, and for the amazing small production winemakers who pour at this venue. Solvang, and the beautiful Veteran’s Memorial Hall, lend such a charming and intimate setting for attendees to chat and taste with the winemakers and owners who will be pouring their hard-to-find wines. We love the diversity of the wines poured here, with multiple micro-climates, grape varieties and innovative blends represented.”

Over 40 winemakers from Santa Barbara County and across California converge at Solvang’s Mission-style Veterans’ Memorial Hall to pour over 150 wines over three days of events which include the continuation of the festival’s ‘Original Garagiste’ seminars, moderated by Garagiste Festival Co-founder and KRUSH radio host, Stewart McLennan, and, this year, featuring Central Coast winemaking legend Ken Brown of Ken Brown Wines.

“We are proud to lead off our main event with a one-on-one discussion and tasting with Ken Brown – a true original ‘garagiste’ many years before micro-production winemaking became a movement," said McLennan. “Ken was one of the first to recognize the cool climate potential of this region back in the 70s and to craft delicious wines from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay right here in Santa Barbara. We are looking forward to an informative and inspiring conversation as we taste some of his delicious wines.”

Brown, whose Ken Brown Wines focuses on very small lots of Pinot Noir from the finest vineyards of Sta. Rita Hills, is recognized as one of Santa Barbara County's pioneering winemakers and innovators. Not only was he among the first vintners to realize the tremendous promise for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Santa Barbara County, but he was also the first winemaker to introduce the Syrah grape, as well as Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc, to the region. He was founding winemaker at Zaca Mesa Winery and spent 20-years at Byron Vineyard and Winery which later sold to the Robert Mondavi family. In this seminar, attendees will learn how he helped shape the Santa Barbara wine scene and why he ultimately returned to small-lot winemaking.

The Garagiste Festival: Southern Exposure 2019 kicks off on Friday, February 8th from 6:30-9:00pm with the very popular "No Repeats, Rare & Reserve," where attendees can get up close and personal with the winemakers as they share limited Club Only, Library and Pre-Release bottles and Barrel samples, and enjoy a BBQ buffet from local favorite Tim's BBQ. On Saturday, the seminar with Ken Brown, “Original Garagistes: A Deep Dive & Tasting,” runs from 11:00 am – 12:30 pm and includes a Wine Country boxed lunch (VIP/Weekend pass ticket holders only). The day continues with the main event, the Grand Tasting, from 2-5pm showcasing over 40 winemakers pouring 150+ wines and 20+ unique varieties. All tickets include unlimited tastes, complimentary cheese and charcuterie and a souvenir Stolzle crystal wine glass - plus a Silent Auction full of enticing wine packages which benefits The Garagiste Scholarship at Cal Poly. On Sunday, Garagiste Passport Day returns, offering discounts and special offers to festival attendees at area wineries.

The festival also announced that it will return to Sonoma California for its 2nd Annual Sonoma Garagiste Festival the weekend of April 13, 2019. Said Minnick: “We are very excited to return to Northern California in April. The reception we received last year was fantastic and we already have an exciting group of No Cal micro-production wineries signed up. Stay tuned!”

Dubbed “tasting nirvana”, ‘strange and wondrous’, and “one not to miss” by the LA Times, the Garagiste Festival is renowned for its renegade spirit, passionate winemakers, handcrafted wines and rules-breaking, ‘no snobs allowed’ ethos. Launched in Paso Robles in 2011, the festival features the wines of commercial garagiste* winemakers who make under 1500 cases at festivals across California, including Solvang, Sonoma, Los Angeles and Paso Robles. Over 350 different wineries have poured over 3,000 wines for over 10,000 wine lovers at Garagiste Festivals since inception and the festival has raised over $125K in support of The Garagiste Scholarship at Cal Poly.

*Garagistes (garage-east) is a term originally used in the Bordeaux region of France to denigrate renegade small-lot wine makers, sometimes working in their "garages" (anything considered not a chateau), who refused to follow the “rules,” and is now a full-fledged movement responsible for making some of the best wine in the world. The Garagiste Festivals were the first to shine a light on the American garagiste winemaker in 2011.

Startup founders are skeptical about the future of cryptocurrency, but that hasn't stopped them from investing in it anyway

Startup founders are skeptical about the future of cryptocurrency, but that hasn't stopped them from investing in it anyway· Cryptocurrency had reached 35 million users as of September 2018, reflective of the trend of people becoming increasingly familiar with blockchain technology and digital currencies like bitcoin, ethereum, and tether.
· Although individuals are investing more in the technology, it's not burgeoning as much on the business and industry level.
· A recent survey of hundreds of startup founders found that while 40 percent of them personally own cryptocurrency, only 13 percent saw cryptocurrency or blockchain tech becoming a dominant technology in their industry in the future.
· These findings come as the price of cryptocurrencies, especially bitcoin, is plunging. The cryptocurrency market has been in a major downslide for the last few months.

Cryptocurrency may be seen as the money of the future, but tech startup founders are skeptical whether the decentralized technology will majorly transform their industries in the near future.

A survey of more than 500 founders at technology startups found that while 40 percent of the founders own cryptocurrency themselves, only 13 percent think that bitcoin, and blockchain technology, will become "dominant technologies" in their businesses in the future.

According to the findings from investment firm First Round, an estimated 57% of founders responded that cryptocurrency would play a purely "experimental" role in their industries and that only "a minority" of companies will have integrated it into their businesses in the next five years.

This interest and use of crypto assets at an individual level — rather than at the business or industry level — is a trend reflected in the crypto market as a whole. A research study out of the University of Cambridge found in September that a majority of crypto users are individuals.

The same study also concluded that the number of people participating in this digital, decentralized economy had doubled in the past year, and has reached an all-time high of 35 million users.

But despite the uptick in numbers, the price cryptocurrency has been in a continuous downward spiral this year. Bitcoin peaked at a price of $19,500 in January, but its value was wavering around $3,300 on Thursday. Just in the last week, the crypto market lost $14 billion in valuation.

The co-founder of $725 million cloud startup Mesosphere is stepping aside as CEO to make way for a Symantec veteran

The co-founder of $725 million cloud startup Mesosphere is stepping aside as CEO to make way for a Symantec veteran· *Mesosphere, most recently valued at $725 million in a funding round this year, is getting a new CEO.*
· *Founder Florian Leibert is stepping aside to make way for Mike Fey, most recently COO of Symantec.*
· *Leibert had previously announced his intention to find his own replacement.*
· *Fey sees a lot of opportunity in bringing Mesosphere's software to larger customers, to help them manage their server and cloud infrastructure. *
· *Fey says he was first intrigued by Mesosphere's all-star roster of investors, which include Khosla Ventures, Microsoft, Andreessen Horowitz, T. Rowe Price, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise.*

Earlier this year, cloud startup Mesosphere raised $125 million, bringing its total funding to just shy of $250 million. That deal valued Mesosphere at $725 million, according to Bloomberg, up from $600 million in 2016. 

Now, Mesosphere co-founder Florian Leibert is following through on his previously-announced intention to step aside as CEO, to take a new role focused on strategy and working with customers. Replacing him will be Mike Fey, most recently president and COO of Symantec, in a move that the company says will help it achieve the next stage of growth by going after larger customers. 

"I realized this was one of the few things that could impact the future in a meaningful way," Fey told Business Insider in an interview on Thursday. 

Mesosphere once famously turned down an acquisition offer from Microsoft, after which some pundits started to theorize that the company was doomed. But Fey says that Mesosphere is growing fast, and it's his intention to keep on building momentum as an independent company. 

"I didn't come here to sell it short," Fey says. "I came here to build something special." 

What first attracted him to Mesosphere, Fey says, is its all-star roster of investors, including T. Rowe Price, Andreessen Horowitz, Microsoft, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Khosla Ventures, and even Koch Industries, who have sunk just shy of $250 million into the company in total. 

"That led me to take it very seriously," Fey says.

With his interest piqued, Fey first met with Leibert in October, and ultimately decided that it was the logical next move for him. Leibert, for his part, was excited to hand off the reins after 5 years as chief exec, and spend more time working with customers and thinking about what's next for the company. 

*What's next for Mesosphere*

Last year, the company said it was on a $50 million annualized run rate, a measure of how much revenue it expects to book over the next 12-month period. While Mesosphere declines to share new numbers today, Leibert has said that its revenue triples every year.

Mesosphere's flagship product is DC/OS, or the Data Center Operating System. The general principle behind DC/OS is that it should be as easy for IT pros to manage the software on their servers as it is to download an iPhone app. It's especially popular for running Kubernetes, a Google-born technology for managing cloud infrastructure.

Fey sees big value in bringing this to ever-larger customers, who need an easy way to first bring their software to the cloud, and then to snap on additional technologies like Kubernetes, artificial intelligence, or smart device management. 

Tactically, Fey wants to take the positive experiences of Mesosphere's smaller customers, and "repeat it at the highest levels." He highlights new customer GE Transportation, which is using DC/OS to manage applications across its own data centers, as well as mega-clouds like those offered by Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure.

Leibert says that the time is right, too: With Microsoft buying GitHub for $7.5 billion, IBM snapping up Red Hat for $34 billion, and VMware acquiring red-hot Kubernetes startup Heptio, there's going to be a lot of interest in open source software. That's good for Mesosphere, Leibert says, because there's no easier way for customers to get started using open source software than to install and manage it via DC/OS.

"You need to be able to put all of these technologies together," says Leibert.
