Orange County Based Senior Care Franchise Opens Office in Rocky Mount

Rocky Mount, North Carolina (PRWEB) April 01, 2015

Amada Senior Care, premier provider of non-medical in-home care and assisted living placement counseling, recently opened a new office in Rocky Mount, NC – their Eastern North Carolina location. Amada franchise partners Tracy and Lee Bissett decided to make the move to senior care with their purchase of the rights to the area after over 20 years of experience in management and consulting. Their grand opening will be held on Thursday, April 2nd.

When asked what makes Amada different from other homecare companies, Tracy said that Amada Eastern North Carolina understands the healthcare landscape and the impact that quality care can have on a senior and their family. “What we’re really here to do is to help people find the best option for their situation; whether that’s an in-home caregiver, guidance with assisted living placement or even remote monitoring. We know that by providing the services seniors need, by building trust and creating emotional connections – we can truly create a better quality of life for families.”

Tracy and Lee live in Spring Hope with their two boys. According to Lee, he and his wife also specialize in helping seniors explore the options available for funding care. “If a client has a long-term care insurance policy, we can show them the best way to claim on that policy to pay for home care,” he said. “We also help with Veteran’s Aid and Attendance benefits, and can even use a life insurance policy to fund care if that is the best option.”

The grand opening of Amada Senior Care Eastern North Carolina will take place on Thursday, April 2nd. The office is currently looking for qualified full and part-time caregivers to work with their clients. For more information, you can visit their website at http://www.AmadaSeniorCare.com/EasternNorthCarolina or call 252-231-2861.

V-Nova Ltd., a leading provider of video compression solutions, announced the public release of a number of ground breaking video compression products based on the industry advancing PERSEUS® technology.The new products include a scalable end-to-end solution for mass-market adoption of live UHD, as well as other distribution products for UHD, HD, and SD video.

(PRWEB) April 01, 2015

•    Over 20 global industry leaders join to support new PERSEUS® technology·     Unprecedented performance shifts the entire video bitrate-quality curve, offering UHD quality at HD bitrates, HD at SD bitrates, and SD video at audio bitrates

V-Nova Ltd., a leading provider of video compression solutions, announced the public release of a number of ground breaking video compression products based on the industry advancing PERSEUS® technology.

The new products include a scalable end-to-end solution for mass-market adoption of live UHD, as well as other distribution products for UHD, HD, and SD video. PERSEUS rewrites the rules of compression, demonstrating in testing and live operations 2x – 3x average compression gains, at all quality levels, under practical real-time operating scenarios versus h.264, HEVC and JPEG2000.

PERSEUS has been developed and tested over the past five years within an Open Innovation consortium of over 20 global industry leaders including Broadcom, European Broadcasting Union (EBU), Hitachi Data Systems (HDS), Intel, and Sky Italia. PERSEUS is currently offered in the form of appliances, embedded software and codec plug-ins.

“With PERSEUS we are able to shift the entire bitrate-quality curve toward the mass population, offering UHD quality at HD bitrates, HD at SD bitrates, and SD video at audio bitrates. This allows our partners to differentiate their products, increase market penetration, and provide new services. In particular, PERSEUS makes 4K commercially viable at scale, enables HD over 3G/4G mobile networks and makes video available to millions who do not yet have it. Most importantly, PERSEUS achieves this within currently available bandwidth and infrastructure,” states Guido Meardi, CEO & Founder, V-Nova. “This guarantees rapid, seamless deployment and an extremely high return on investment.”

“PERSEUS helps us solve challenges and create opportunities not currently addressable by existing compression solutions. Sky Italia has been working with V-Nova over the past years to refine and test the PERSEUS technology to ensure that it is industrially scalable and integrates seamlessly into the existing ecosystem and workflows. We are currently deploying it and are extremely satisfied with the results of this joint effort. PERSEUS is an extremely valuable asset for us,” comments Massimo Bertolotti, Head of Innovation & Engineering, Sky Italia.

"EBU has always played a key role in identifying innovations that are beneficial to our associates, and we have followed the development of PERSEUS products since its early stages. The step change in performance offered by PERSEUS opens many opportunities for new high-impact broadcast services that we are contributing to develop," notes Puiu Dolea, Manager of Business Continuity & Special Projects at European Broadcasting Union (EBU).

"As the leader in one of the most important emerging markets, Tata Sky is constantly innovating its offering and evaluating new video technologies. Based on what we have seen, PERSEUS has the potential to significantly increase customer reach and service quality," says Yigs Riza, CTO, Tata Sky.

Federico Faggin, Recipient of the 2009 US National Medal of Technology and Innovation, co-inventor of the silicon-gate MOS technology, the microprocessor, and the touch interface observed: "It is a rare opportunity to witness the emergence of a new technology with the power to fundamentally change multiple industries. PERSEUS is already demonstrating this potential. The combination of a proven, ground-breaking technology, an experienced team, and a collaborative Open Innovation approach with many outstanding partners, gives me confidence that the success of PERSEUS is all but inevitable."

“PERSEUS impresses with exceptional video compression performance on standard server and PC hardware, including real-time UltraHD decoding or SD video at sub-audio bitrates on mobile devices. I am confident that with such performance PERSEUS is predestined to unlock great opportunities in multiple industries,” remarked Christian Morales, Corporate Vice President and General Manager, Europe, Middle East, Africa of Intel Corporation.

“As V-Nova’s global fulfilment partner for enterprise-grade broadcasting servers, we are impressed by the robustness of the PERSEUS solution and the key role it plays in broadcasting, social innovation and cloud services," says Kevin Eggleston, SVP Social Innovation & Global Industries, Hitachi Data Systems.

“Broadcom supports the PERSEUS compression standard, which offers an advanced tool to effect improvements in bitrate, quality and latency. Combined with Broadcom’s set-top box technology, PERSEUS compression can help enable more efficient HD transmissions and more widespread Ultra HD content to subscribers around the world,” says Rich Nelson, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Broadband & Connectivity Group, Broadcom Corporation.

“Perseus has the potential to revolutionize video. Its applicability is vast, both within broadcasting, as well as other industries including aerospace, defence, security, video conferencing, medical imaging and telematics, to name a few,” notes Philipp Nattermann, Director, McKinsey & Company. “It is also a remarkable example of entrepreneurship and Open Innovation, resulting from the joint effort of hundreds of people across the globe, spanning multiple industries and companies.”

“We are all very proud of PERSEUS and to be part of such an impressive global consortium that shares a common mission to improve human and machine communications, and open new commercial horizons through tangible improvements in compression. Together, we are solving real-world challenges, at all quality and bandwidth levels, using existing infrastructure and workflows,” closed Eric Achtmann, Executive Chairman & co-Founder, V-Nova. “We deeply thank all of our partners for their contributions and welcome those that will soon join. Together, we are making ‘The Impossible’ possible, and ‘The Possible’ more profitable.”

AIG is the first financial services corporation to make a gift in support of the Foundation’s 20th Anniversary, five-year $5 million goal.

Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) April 02, 2015

In celebration of its 20th anniversary of supporting pro bono financial planning, the Foundation for Financial Planning announced today AIG will contribute and match financial planner and investment advisor contributions of up to $250,000 in support of pro bono financial planning activities.

AIG has supported the Foundation’s mission for more than 19 years, contributing more than $1 million and strengthening its brain trust by having executives serve as Trustees of the Board. “As a longstanding supporter of the Foundation and pro bono financial planning, AIG understands the expansion of pro bono financial planning is an investment in a more financially educated society and is pleased to be the first financial services corporation to make a gift in support of the Foundation’s 20th Anniversary, five-year $5 million goal. As an industry, it is important we recognize the Foundation’s mission as a priority and support the delivery of pro bono financial planning to the underserved,” said Steve Maginn, president & CEO, AIG Financial Distributors. AIG and the Foundation have launched an industry Call to Action to help the Foundation reach its goal and will match contributions of $1,000 or more.

With help from over 13,000 financial services volunteers, the Foundation has supported the delivery of pro bono financial planning to more than 350,000 people and has provided over $5.7 million in grants nationally to community-based organizations who work with the underserved, which includes active military, veterans, domestic abuse survivors, first time homeowners and many others.

The Foundation is the only organization dedicated solely to supporting the delivery of pro bono financial planning to underserved communities. “We understand financial planning decision-making is more complex today than at any time in recent history and particularly with those who do not have access to, or knowledge of, financial planning. Through community grants and the connecting of financial services professionals with pro bono opportunities, the Foundation is committed to expanding the accessibility of pro bono financial planning to the underserved and we are thankful for the continuous support of AIG,” said Bernie Clark, Foundation Chair.

“The Foundation’s work is continuous and for every person we reach, we know there are countless others who are in need and could benefit from pro bono financial planning. Our focus is to expand pro bono financial planning to the underserved; while realizing our mission requires the ongoing support of the financial services industry—financial and volunteer support and most importantly, brain trust backing—industry leaders serving as Trustees of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees,” said James A. Peniston, executive director of the Foundation for Financial Planning.

Effective Student Marketing, a digital marketing agency specializing in higher education, submits team training video for the 6th Annual Run for the Troops 5K being held in Andover, MA

(Andover, MA) (PRWEB) April 02, 2015

Effective Student Marketing, an Andover-based digital marketing agency, has submitted a fun and playful team training video to the Run for the Troops 5K, being held on Sunday, April 12th in Andover. The 3 minute video, which serves as sequel to one the marketing agency produced last year, pits reigning Effective Student Marketing race champion Justin Martell against upstart Ali Hughes.

According to event director Bill Pennington, encouraging teams to submit videos was just another way to bring attention to the race and the worthy cause it supports. Pennington said the video competition was actually inspired by last year’s Effective Student Marketing video. In that video, company president Andy Kelley offered up his office as prize to anyone who could best him in the Run for the Troops 5K. Martel took on the challenge and won. The newest video finds Martell happy, complacent, out-of-shape, and perhaps not ready for challenger Hughes.

“The video was just a fun way to bring attention to all the good Run For The Troops does,” said Kelley. “We’re happy to participate and support this worthy cause.”

Effective Student Marketing is a sponsor of the race and a corresponding Friday evening dinner and silent auction. The pair of events help raise money for local veterans in affiliation with the national nonprofit Homes for our Troops, an organization committed to housing disabled and injured veterans.

Proceeds from this year’s events will help build a specially adapted home for Marine Staff Sergeant Hans Blum who lost both his legs when he stepped on an IED while serving in Afghanistan in 2012. Funds will also help soldiers with post-traumatic stress disorder who are receiving therapy at the Ironstone Farm in Andover. Ironstone uses horses to provide therapy for people with a wide range of physical, cognitive and emotional disabilities.

The race begins at 9:00 AM at 36 Bartlett Street and loops through the neighborhoods of Andover. There will be live entertainment and refreshments, and awards are presented to teams and individuals across age categories.
