Toronto, Canada, December 18, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Skrumble Network (SKM), a communication-centric public blockchain that creates secure and private connections for communication and financial transactions, today announced the launch of their TestNet, LUNA, along with releasing information that they’ve reached over 3,000 TPS (transactions-per-second) testing between 6 and 32 nodes and have reached under 5 seconds for consensus time.

Skrumble Network’s mission has always been to democratize communication through leveraging blockchain and a network of community-owned decentralized servers to ensure data ownership and user privacy. This week, we witnessed them making a huge step towards achieving their goal: decentralization. Decentralization, in essence, means that a network is built with no single entity who is in control of it, meaning no one else owns your data. Applying decentralization to global communication has serious implications like no government surveillance, no third-party ownership and no data hacking or manipulation.

Ally – the first dApp built on the Skrumble Network public chain (PoA-Proof of Authority) and the first dApp of its kind, a multi-purpose social media application that empowers users to communicate freely, anonymously and securely, successfully launched and now has over 150,000 users in just a few months. The app is currently available for iOS and Android devices via Google Play and Apple Store and will be fully decentralized by the end of 2018.

“Launching our LUNA TestNet is a really big deal to our entire team,” says Michael Dabydeen, Lead Developer of Skrumble Network. “This milestone reflects significant traction of the entire project and stands for our team’s hard work. We’re already working on scheduling some code reviews, hackathons and will be doing a peer review with the CTO of Aion, Jin (Jinius Tu).”

Some key features also being released with the LUNA TestNet:
- Monocle: A block explorer giving an in-depth look into the live transactions and blocks as they’re created: https://monocle.skrumble.network/
- Cerebro: A blockchain visualizer showing live the block times and TPS of the LUNA TestNet: https://skrumblenetwork.github.io/cerebro/
- GitHub page: https://github.com/skrumblenetwork

Other upcoming key dates:
- Ally fully decentralized by end of 2018
- Decentralized File Storage by end of 2018
- MainNet Launch Q1 2019

If you have any questions about the information in this press release, please contact one of the Skrumble Network team members in their main groups on Ally or Telegram and be sure to follow them on Twitter.

About Skrumble Network
Skrumble Network (SKM) is a new, innovative public blockchain that is uniquely optimized for secure communication-centric connections and transactions, decentralized applications, and offers a communication layer for developers to build into any application. With no middle entity or centralized server host in between to censor, block or manipulate any data, Skrumble Network’s blockchain and decentralized applications aim to be a catalyst for data privacy and help to truly democratize communication on a global scale.

Essex, MD, December 18, 2018 --(PR.com)-- How do you reconcile this? Citizens9.com comes in.

Citizens9 was built to help ordinary people connect to more influential people for personal, business and social activities while providing a universal loyalty card that offers them up to 10% cash back on any purchase they make at partnering businesses.

Headquartered in Maryland USA, the founder of Citizens9 felt the need to bridge the gap of that social divide by launching a platform where a few thousand people can leverage on their individual connections to make life more meaningful for one another.

“Citizens9 is not a social network, social networks exist to help people connect and share updates. Citizens9.com simply help people to connect deeply for the purpose of trade and social activities while rewarding them with real money every time they spend at Citizens9 partnering businesses,” says the CEO Mr. Joseph Alan.

Speaking to the press in his office in Essex Maryland, Joseph explained Citizens9 is geared towards providing top-notch services for many people who don’t have the social connections to break out of their situation. An example is Medicare in Africa. Most people in Africa stay sick simply because they cannot afford to get checked. “In a society where there is a breakdown of social security, your connections matters,” concludes Joseph.

Citizens9 offers a mobile app and a web app that allows people to take advantage of some personalized services not limited to VISA assistance, emergency services, health and fitness network, jobs and career endorsement, exclusive access to airport lounges and some other jaw-dropping services which otherwise is not available to everyone except the socially privileged.

“Our focus is to help people connect and get help when life throws them curve balls. Most people can’t afford a good lawyer when they have a legal case, hence they are stuck with whoever is available, not so with Citizens 9 members. When any member has an issue, they can use the company's legal representative at almost no cost. Our focus is to look out for one another while encouraging trade and social well being through fitness and education.”

Asked about the membership process, Mr. Joseph explained there is a fee required to join the club. “This is to deter just anyone from registering. We want to keep a quality database of members. Including the application fee and annual renewal automatically helps us streamline our user base to the quality we want to maintain,” says Joseph.

Berlin, Germany, December 19, 2018 --(PR.com)-- On November 1, 2018, Intellias introduced its comprehensive whitepaper titled “Connected Driving: Surviving the Latest Technology Disruption.”

The whitepaper covers:

Challenges Tier 1 vendors face while becoming service providers for OEMs

Key actions for Tier 1 vendors to implement a new business model

Strategies for transforming the Tier 1 business model

Solving the challenges of cost, competence, and scalability

Three practical case studies describing how Tier 1s can overcome the challenges they face in their transformation

In this whitepaper, Intellias highlights the emerging challenges that automakers face due to the rapid merging of technological innovations and the automotive sector and suggests effective ways to overcome these challenges. Trends such as mobility, connectivity, and autonomous driving are shaping the new automotive ecosystem, making traditional approaches obsolete and providing software vendors with opportunities to outpace car manufacturers.

Based on rigorous research and solid experience in the automotive sector and specifically with connected cars, Intellias has compiled a complete report for automakers to help them regain a competitive edge.

After an extensive review of research on consumer requirements from top agencies including McKinsey, Deloitte, and Bergen, Intellias found that demands for safety dominate.

"The biggest benefit of connectivity is safety. Humans learn from situations that are a little bit dangerous. If you drive and see a child crossing the road, you start to brake really hard and then think, God, it could be a terrible accident, I’ll never drive so fast anymore and will be attentive. And the next time you’re going much slower in the pedestrian area. Unfortunately, this is how we sometimes learn, not obviously from our mistakes but maybe from near accidents. Now take the power of connectivity. A self-driving car learns its lessons once and can distribute the knowledge to other cars, accelerating learning for all vehicles at the same time."
- Serge Lambermont, Independent Automotive Consultant

Currently, technology companies can address consumer demands for software-defined vehicles more efficiently than automakers due to their technology backgrounds and customer-centric approaches. Tier 1 vendors should revise their business models and strategies accordingly, providing targeted solutions to focus on vehicle safety and deliver more value to consumers.

Intellias has conducted its own independent research on 87 Tier 1 providers to investigate the core car connectivity offerings. The company also collected opinions from subject matter experts, including:

Christoph Lang, Director of Corporate Research at Bosch

Clemens Rheinfelder, Independent Autonomous Driving Expert

Ihor Starepravo, Automotive Practice Lead at Intellias

Randolph Toom, Director of Innovation at FAAR Industry

Serge Lambermont, Independent Automotive Consultant

John Estrada, CEO at eTrans Systems, Founder of Driverless Transportation

Intellias is excited to present a complete roadmap - based on expert opinions and independent research - for Tier 1 vendors to become successful complex integrators.

About Intellias
Intellias is a software engineering company with nearshore development centers in the Ukrainian cities of Lviv, Kyiv, Odesa, and Kharkiv. The company has 16 years of experience in the DACH and Benelux countries, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. KPMG has highlighted Intellias as one of the leading IT-BPO providers in Lviv. Intellias has also been recognized by Inc. 5000 as one of the fastest-growing privately held companies in Europe. In 2018, Intellias got backing from Horizon Capital, the biggest private equity fund in Ukraine, to broaden its delivery footprint and increase service capabilities with new delivery centers in Central and Eastern Europe.

Itasca, IL, December 19, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Cure Dystonia Now (CDN) and the National Spasmodic Dysphonia Association (NSDA) announced a new grant designed to validate an outcome measurement protocol for use with spasmodic dysphonia (SD). This co-funded grant is aimed to validate the use of the Communication Participation Item Bank (CPIB) as a tool to (1) measure the severity of restrictions in communication participation in SD patients and (2) accurately measure the outcome of a treatment for SD relative to the disease’s impact on communicative participation before and after treatment.

CPIB is considered an accurate outcome measure in compliance with NIH PROMIS guidelines that harness recent advances in information technology, psychometrics, and qualitative, cognitive, and health survey research. It has already been shown to be accurate for measuring the effect of multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and head and neck cancer on communication. The CPIB is likely to be more relevant for evaluation of SD because SD is itself a communication disorder, not a disease that coincidentally affects communication.

The study will test whether the CPIB is a valid tool to measure communication impairment in patients with spasmodic dysphonia and whether it can detect significant changes in communication during the treatment process. If successful, it could impact current treatment options and the evaluation of novel therapies.

Lacking a universal validation tool for use within the SD population is an obstacle to data analysis. This study aims to show that CPIB can be used clinically to accurately determine the severity of a patient’s symptoms. It can also be used to evaluate the impact of existing treatments on communication participation as well as the benefits of small dosing changes to allow optimization of dosing. “We are thrilled about this project because we believe this will have a positive impact on research and treatment for those with SD,” said CDN Co-President Marc Miller.

"Once there is data-driven evidence that a treatment works, it’s easier for it to be approved and covered for that condition," said NSDA President Charlie Reavis. “That’s why we are so excited to work collaboratively with CDN on this important project.”

The participating centers include:
Dr. Michael Pitman, Columbia University, New York, NY
Dr. Gaelyn Garrett, Vanderbilt Voice Center, Nashville, TN
Dr. Adam Klein, Emory Voice Center, Atlanta, GA
Dr. Lucy Hicklin, St. George’s Hospital, London, UK
Dr. Carolyn Baylor, University of Washington, Seattle, WA

About Spasmodic Dysphonia
Spasmodic Dysphonia (SD), also known as Laryngeal Dystonia, is a neurological disorder that affects the vocal cords. When a person speaks, the vocal cords spasm, either slamming together, forcing the voice to be tight, choked, or strained; or pulling apart, causing a breathy or airy voice. There is no known cause or cure but treatments include botulinum toxin injections, surgical intervention, and voice therapy. It affects an estimated 50,000 people in North America.

About Cure Dystonia Now
Cure Dystonia Now is a charitable foundation committed to advancing research for more and/or improved treatments, and ultimately a cure, for dystonia.

About the National Spasmodic Dysphonia Association
The National Spasmodic Dysphonia Association is a non-profit dedicated to improving the lives of people affect by spasmodic dysphonia and related voice conditions through research, awareness, education and support.

San Francisco, CA, December 19, 2018 --(PR.com)-- According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, as many as 3.9 million veterans in 2018 are suffering from PTSD. An estimated 20% of Iraq and Afghanistan Conflict Veterans, up to 10% of Gulf War Veterans, and up to 30% of Vietnam War Veterans have experienced PTSD. To support veterans in getting the care they need and deserve, Veteran's Ananda, a New York based nonprofit, has partnered with Ultimatum Inc. and StrainConnect.

The public is invited to support U.S. veterans in having safe access to medical cannabis for PTSD symptoms and can participate in the joint initiative in two ways:

1. Use the hashtag #VeteransAnanda on Twitter and, as a sponsor, StrainConnect will donate $1 per tweet, up to $250.
2. Become a donor by visiting the Ultimatum campaign page for Veteran's Ananda. Donors increase the positive impact of every tweet.

Sarah Stenuf, U.S. Army Veteran and founder of Veteran's Ananda, personally experienced PTSD post-Afghanistan deployment. She attempted to ease her symptoms through the use of drugs and alcohol before seeking medical treatment, where she was then prescribed 13 different medications. Exhausted and frustrated by years of ineffective treatment, she turned to cannabis and found it to be effective in alleviating her PTSD symptoms.

Research studies support Stenuf's experience. A study in New Mexico found a greater than 75% reduction in CAPS (Clinician Administered Post-Traumatic Scale) symptom scores when patients were using cannabis. In another study, not a single adverse event was reported.

Stenuf has partnered with StrainConnect and Ultimatum to spread awareness about the use of medical cannabis in alleviating PTSD and advocating for easier access for veterans to this life-changing alternative. StrainConnect has made a generous donation to support this initiative and invites the public to join them in supporting medical cannabis access for veterans.

Rachael Maddison, founder and CEO of StrainConnect, explains why they support Veteran's Ananda: "Our vets have honorably served our country and have seen and experienced the worst of the worst. Studies around the use of CBD and cannabis to assist with PTSD symptoms is astounding and illustrates that we need to decriminalize its usage. Improving safe and legal access to this natural plant could very well slash the opioid epidemic, while simultaneously assisting our veterans in their time of need. Veteran's Ananda is taking a bold step forward with their one-of-a-kind facilities to support our vets, and the StrainConnect family wholeheartedly supports their efforts."

Charlotte, NC, December 20, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Through exquisite data analytics solutions, Syntelli Solutions has added another competency to their Gold Partner status with Microsoft. Similar to Microsoft’s other competencies, earning this achievement means Syntelli has successfully completed a host of requirements and repeatedly demonstrated “the highest, most specialized capability to meet customer needs” with their solutions. The Data Analytics competency recognizes those companies who can “deliver customers actionable business insights which they can use to transform their businesses.” The partnership provides further reciprocal benefits, meaning, Syntelli Solutions will gain access to key advantages provided by Microsoft, enabling more carefully tailored and successful solutions for their customers. Gold Partner benefits include a set of “core benefits” like access to Regional Service Center support, unlimited technical pre-sales assistance, increased product licenses, and additional product support instances. Other benefits include authorization to become a provider of SQL Server and SharePoint Deployment Planning Services, “Signature Support,” which provides Partners with an elevated level of technical support in the form of direct access to technical support engineers with extensive product-specific knowledge, and eligibility for other Microsoft incentives.

As noted above, Syntelli Solutions is no stranger to the Gold Partner program. They have already achieved the Cloud Platform competency. In contrast to data analytics, earning this competency means Syntelli is more than capable of helping their “customers modernize infrastructure, migrate applications and data to the cloud, and build analytics solutions on data platforms in the cloud.” Furthermore, it proves Syntelli can “deliver services and build products using SaaS and PaaS solutions available on Azure Marketplace.”

The Microsoft Certified Partner program is a means for Microsoft to identify and assist those businesses which stand out from their peers. It provides a wealth of benefits to both Microsoft and the Partners, as well as the customers those partners serve. At a high level, it offers Partners accelerated business growth, the opportunity to build a specialized practice, and the ability to reach new customers. Within the Data Analytics competency, Partners must be able to “build descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive analytics solutions” for historical and real-time analyses and “offer actionable insights through interactive...reports.” They “can also build end-to-end advanced predictive analytical models using machine learning” and other solutions. The Data Analytics competency covers several specific Microsoft products – R Server, Power BI, Azure, Azure Machine Learning, Azure Data Factory, and HD Insight.

Syntelli Solutions is a Charlotte, NC based, Minority Owned (as certified by CVMSDC) tech company focused on providing enterprise performance management solutions for CFOs. Originally founded in 2005 with the mission of helping clients influence behavior by utilizing the power of data. That ethos is embodied in the name, with “Syntelli” being derived from “SYNchronizing InTELLIgence with Data.” The company has spent the last 13 years providing data science and Big Data services for customers across a variety of industries, including finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and oil and gas. Over that time, they have also matured their abilities to include enhanced, cutting-edge data lake, data shaping, and data science practices, as well as improved data governance. Furthermore, Syntelli provides training and ongoing consulting services to help keep non-technical employees at the forefront of BI technological advances. Employees are also involved in the community through several charitable endeavors.

Kyiv, Ukraine, December 20, 2018 --(PR.com)-- According to Sergei Tokarev, Lucky Labs has been working with charitable foundations that help children from low-income families for many years. Another area of charity is the reform of Ukrainian libraries and the creation of free space for communication, training and youth development on their basis. In the beginning of 2017, Lucky Labs initiated a large-scale educational project for teenagers in Ukraine.

“When we started working with children's libraries, we found out that one of the serious problems, especially in district and rural libraries, is the lack of modern relevant popular science literature for teenagers in Ukrainian language,” says Sergei Tokarev. “We have been working in Ukraine for a long time, and we believe that this country has a strong personnel potential. And we are interested in it increasing each passing year. Therefore, we decided to engage in educational activities and launch a project of publishing and popularizing non-fiction in Ukrainian language,” Tokarev says.

Thus, in 2017, the LuckyBooks project appeared. The main direction of its activity was to search for talented Ukrainian authors, publications and free distribution of popular science literature in the Ukrainian language in libraries and boarding schools in Ukraine.

“We decided to focus on the eastern regions of Ukraine. In today's realities, it is here that children most need help, support and motivation to develop. Well, the libraries here are much worse than the average in Ukraine. First, most of the library funds have not really been updated since the 1980s. And secondly, there was an acute shortage of high-quality Ukrainian-language literature for teenagers. We began to fill this gap,” says Lucky Labs co-founder.

For one and a half years of the project’s existence, Lucky Labs books have filled shelves of more than 150 children's libraries in the cities and villages of the Eastern and Southern regions of Ukraine. Among others, within the LuckyBooks project, books about gadgets, biotechnologies, and mathematics have been published. At the end of 2018, three books published with the support of LuckyBooks were included in the list of recommended for public procurement for libraries across the country. Several foreign non-fiction bestsellers for teenagers were translated into Ukrainian thanks to the project. In total, Lucky Labs has distributed more than 5,000 copies of books.

“The company's employees responded to the initiative with great enthusiasm. They traveled to different cities and presented books to children, organized scientific performances and various lectures to interest teenagers and get feedback on our activities,” says Sergei Tokarev.

LuckyBooks became widely known in the Ukraine and became an active participant of public educational activities in the country. In 2018, the project became a sponsor of the children's program of the largest book exhibition in Ukraine and helped create the virtual reality project Tukoni, based on a book by a Ukrainian writer. Tukoni has already managed to visit several cities of Ukraine and receive positive reviews from critics at the book exhibition in Frankfurt.

Jacksonville, FL, December 20, 2018 --(PR.com)-- BluePrint Data, the leader in high quality, OEM, integrable Parental Controls and Internet Filtering is proud to announce the launching of their network security “WebHawk Mini IoT Secure” device for households and small and mid-size businesses. While the Internet of things (IoT) brings enormous benefits, these devices are typically not secure; they integrate and share the local network with computers, laptops, tablets, and phones presenting a security risk. The “WebHawk Mini IoT Secure” device is a small form factor, low cost wireless access point that all your IoT devices connect to, securing your local network by segmenting and tunneling all IoT traffic. This prevents any IoT device such as an Amazon Echo or Google Home system; Nest, Ring, and home security systems; or household appliance, smart lights and more from accessing your local network.

The “WebHawk Mini IoT Secure” platform, includes cloud access security (CAS), local area network segmentation security (LAN-SS), and web security and internet filtering. This new product and service bolsters new offerings for BluePrint Data and enhances the BluePrint Data intelligent cloud security systems enhancing our pattern recognition algorithms and capabilities for more real-time, intelligent Internet security decision-making.

The BluePrint Data “WebHawk Mini IoT Secure” device is designed to, amongst other things, create Wi-Fi hot spots and public access Wi-Fi networks dedicated to IoT devices. It segments network traffic passing through the “WebHawk Mini IoT Secure” to “physically” separate it from other local area network traffic. The "WebHawk Mini IoT Secure" device is also part of BluePrint Data USA’s work to port its technology to Intel ARM-based platforms for use in low-power, less expensive devices.

The unit’s minimal cost and ease of use makes the availability of Wi-Fi access for IoT security available to a wide range of user categories, including home users, schools and non-profits, and small to medium businesses including those in developing countries with rapidly growing Internet use. Installing and using the “WebHawk Mini IoT Secure” is as simple as plugging the Ethernet cable into a working outlet in a wall, switch/hub, or router and plugging in the power. Once turned on a new wireless Wi-Fi access point will show up IoT devices in range as an Internet connection point.

The Most Trusted Website Content Authority in the World
BluePrint Data (and by extension BluePrint Data India) specializes in providing high quality Website / URL Filtering, and other Internet security services which makes them the most trusted Website content authority in the world.

The two best parts for the user besides it being free? You don’t even have to show a coupon. And the discounts cover your entire bill. That means drinks, meals, appetizers, and desserts are all included in your percentage off which ranges from 10-50%.

dinely looks to solve the issue of restaurant down times by giving time-based discounts to its users. During these times restaurants still have overhead, employees and bills to pay. That’s where dinely comes in to fill those seats by giving exclusive discounts to users.

“Our mission is for our member restaurants to have all of their tables filled, at all times, whilst providing the diners with the same experience as a full paying restaurant patron by removing coupons and restrictions,” said Reza Rahbaran, CEO and co-founder of dinely.

How to get your free discounts

After download, the reservation process is simple.

1. Find your restaurant based on time, location, cuisine, price, or discount.
2. Select your date and time and number of guests on the reservation.
3. Click reserve, and you’re all set.

Once your reservation is set, all that’s needed is to check-in at the restaurant with the name on your dinely reservation and the discount is automatically applied to your bill at the end of your meal.

The app features a sleek design to make your reservation process a breeze. With an easy search functionality showing available tables and discounts around you, a map view to see what’s closest, and upfront pricing and details from the restaurants...no small print with up-front restrictions (if any).

Once your reservation is set, you can easily share your discount with friends, family, and any other food lovers.

“Dining out in Miami has become a luxury. By making this application as easy as possible for individuals to make reservations, we can impact a lot of people’s wallets,” noted co-founder, Georg Gruber.

Gone is the fight between going out and saving money, with dinely you can do both.

Montreal, Canada, December 21, 2018 --(PR.com)-- The Montreal Artificial Intelligence Ethics Institute (MAIEI) announces the launch and worldwide call for applications for the inaugural 2019-2020 MAIEI Fellowship. This one-year, non-residential global fellowship program is designed to amplify the work of a diverse range of practitioners and researchers in the ethical, safe and inclusive development of AI. “MAIEI was founded to help define humanity’s place in a world increasingly characterized and driven by algorithms,” says Abhishek Gupta, founder of MAIEI. “Treating AI as inherently good overlooks the important research and development needed for ethical, safe and inclusive applications. Poor data, inexplicable code or rushed deployment can easily lead to AI systems that have a detrimental impact on society.” For the past two years, Gupta has been organizing and leading the AI Ethics community in Montreal. What started out as a simple experiment in building public competence in AI Ethics has grown into a movement of people that are empowered and informed to contribute to shaping technical and policy measures in the ethical and responsible development of AI. MAIEI and the AI Ethics community includes over 1,350 members and has contributed to public policy recommendations, including the Montreal Declaration for a Responsible Development of Artificial Intelligence. MAIEI’s work has been published in the Stanford Social Innovation Review and the Oxford Internet Institute, among others. “A key differentiator of the MAIEI Fellowship is our focus on applied experiments,” says Renjie Butalid, co-founder of MAIEI. “We highly encourage field experiments that are driven by and for communities that will be impacted by AI. We believe that MAIEI Fellows will contribute to the creation and adoption of many technical and policy measures that address ethical, safety and inclusivity concerns in AI development.” MAIEI invites applications from people working on a broad range of opportunities and challenges related to the societal impacts of AI. This includes, but is not limited to, software engineers, scholars and researchers from all fields, as well as artists, philosophers and practitioners of all backgrounds. Broad topics of interest at MAIEI include, but are not limited to: Social inclusion in AI, Mission-driven AI, AI Ethics in Medicine, Algorithms in Politics, the Malicious use of AI, Embedding values into machines, Algorithmic Discrimination, Algorithmic Impact Assessments, and Data Privacy and Access Controls. MAIEI Fellows are expected to gather in-person three times a year. The first gathering will be in Montreal for one week in June 2019. The second and third gatherings will be two-day engagements in cities to be confirmed, scheduled for November 2019 and April 2020. Academic, corporate and government partners, advisory board members and mentors for the 2019-2020 MAIEI Fellowship will be announced shortly.

Deadline for applications is Sunday, March 3, 2019 at 11:59PM ET. Potential applicants can find more information here: https://montrealethics.ai/fellowship/fellowship.html

About MAIEI
Established in July 2017 as an experiment in building public competence in AI Ethics, the Montreal AI Ethics Institute (MAIEI) emerged as a formal institute and civil society organization in May 2018. Its mission is to help define humanity’s place in a world increasingly characterized and driven by algorithms. MAIEI enables civic engagement to enhance technical and policy measures on the ethical, safe and inclusive development of AI. Headquartered in Montreal, an emerging AI hub, MAIEI is situated globally at the leading edge of technical research while leveraging strong Canadian values of diversity and inclusion.
