LOS ANGELES, CA – 13 Jul, 2017 – Genie Harrison, owner of the Genie Harrison Law Firm was selected as Top Female Attorney of the Year for 2017 by the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP), for her outstanding leadership and commitment to the Legal Industry. 

While inclusion with the International Association of Top Professionals is an honor in itself, only a few members in each discipline are chosen for this distinction. These special honorees are distinguished based on their professional accomplishments, academic achievements, leadership abilities, longevity in the field, other affiliations and contributions to their communities.  All honorees are invited to attend the IAOTP’s annual award gala at the end of this year for a night to honor their achievements.

With over 2 decades of professional experience in the legal industry, Genie has certainly proven herself as an accomplished professional and expert in the field. As a dynamic, results-driven leader, she has demonstrated success not only as a trial attorney but also as an outstanding advocate for plaintiffs in employment cases including all forms of discrimination, retaliation, sexual harassment, sexual assault, sexual abuse and civil rights cases. Genie has been very exciting to watch and has an impressive repertoire of 7 figure verdicts and settlements under her belt.

With her diverse background and experience, Genie has been able to work with many areas of the law. The Genie Harrison Law Firm is recognized by the California Legal Community as a leading Plaintiff Law Firm in Wrongful Termination, Discrimination, Retaliation/Whistleblower, Sexual Harassment, Sexual Abuse and Rape cases. For seven years the Daily Journal has ranked Genie as one of California’s Top Labor & Employment Attorneys. Genie obtained a J.D. from Santa Clara University School of Law in Santa Clara, California in 1992 and a B.S. in International Business from Elmhurst College in Elmhurst, Illinois in 1989.

The President of IAOTP, Stephanie Cirami, stated “Choosing Genie for this award was an easy decision for our panel to make.  She is talented, bright, beautiful and is a highly regarded employment trial lawyer and we felt she would make an amazing asset to our organization.  We are looking forward to meeting her at the gala and know we will be seeing more amazing things from this woman.”

Genie is active in her community and has been recognized for her outstanding leadership and commitment to the profession.  She has received many honors and awards for her leadership and commitment to the field, including the Top 10 Super Lawyers in Southern California where she ranked # 3 on the prestigious List, Best Lawyers in America, Top 50 Women Lawyers and has an AVVO rating of 10.0.  For 2017 Genie was selected as Top Attorney of the Year by the International Association of Top Professionals and was also featured in Angeleno Magazine’s June 2017 edition. In 2016, she was named Outstanding Lawyer of the Year by the Global Who’s Who. She has been named to the Southern California Super Lawyers List in Plaintiff’s Employment litigation for nine years in a row, for which only 5% of all attorneys in the state qualify in any single year, and is one of only two women plaintiff lawyers named by the Daily Journal as one of California’s Top Labor & Employment lawyers for seven years. She is a member of the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles and is its Executive Committee Treasurer, is a member of California Employment Lawyers Association, National Employment Lawyers Association, The National Trial Lawyers Association, Los Angeles County Bar Association, Labor & Employment Section, Los Angeles Trial Lawyers’ Charities, and a Fellow of the College of Labor & Employment Lawyers and the Litigation Counsel of America.

Looking back, Genie attributes her success to the adversity she has experienced, her training, her perseverance, mentors she has had along the way, and her passion for the law. When she is not working she enjoys spending time with her family. For the future, she will continue to grow as a professional, fight to protect her clients’ rights and wants to give back to the community any way she can.

KnipBio Announces Successful Completion of BioProcessing Feed Scale-Up Program

LOWELL, MA – 13 Jul, 2017 – KnipBio Inc. announces the successful completion of the latest phase in its plan to produce KnipBio Meal, a premium aquaculture feed ingredient from low-cost, readily available feedstocks. The development was done in conjunction with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC).

According to Larry Feinberg, PhD, co-founder and CEO of KnipBio, “One of the key challenges facing humankind is to meet the protein needs of a growing global population. Aquaculture offers the best means to achieve this. It is currently a $110B market that is expected to double by 2030 when two-thirds of all fish will be farm-raised.  However, there is a significant roadblock to this growth – a lack of sustainable and healthy proteins and oils to feed the fish. KnipBio Meal could be the solution to this problem.”

Feinberg added, “The primary goal for our scale-up program was to advance our process technology from a laboratory-scale research project to pilot-size vessel production. Additionally, we wanted to transition from a batch process to semi-continuous fermentation and to demonstrate the viability of methanol as a feedstock to compliment our previous work with ethanol. Our collaboration with the scientists and engineers at the NRC helped us successfully achieve these goals. We also gained tremendous insight into the fermentation process that will enable us to advance to commercial-scale manufacturing at a significantly faster pace than originally anticipated.”  

“Our research teams are supporting KnipBio’s efforts in the areas of commercialization, new product development, value-added improvements, and new market opportunities,” said Denise LeBlanc, General Manager, Aquatic and Crop Resource Development, at the National Research Council of Canada. “Our collaboration is improving the sustainability of the aquaculture industry by increasing diversity, reducing costs, and improving product quality.”

Feinberg added, “The next phase in our development roadmap has already commenced and the goal now is to partner with leaders of the biofuel industry to achieve near-commercial scale fermentation. Additionally, we will continue to focus on field trials of our next-generation feeds to demonstrate the efficacy of KnipBio Meal in improving health and reducing mortality in fish and shrimp populations. If successful, the market opportunity for KnipBio Meal could be immense.”

About KnipBio

KnipBio, Inc. is a Massachusetts-based company pioneering advanced nutritional solutions for animal feeds using innovative biotechnology to develop a range of single cell protein products from non-food feedstocks.

This space also gives way to the main staircase that pertrudes into the basement lightwell and provides access to all three levels of the house.

908 Bel Air Roads upper level contains the master bedroom, as well as most of the residences 8 bedrooms and 19 bathrooms. The master bedroom contains a fourteen foot see through fireplace, viewing deck, and his and hers bathrooms and closets. On the opposite side of the upper level, a staircase leads to the 2,800 sf roof deck which rises over the property to provide some of the best views of the Los Angeles basin the house has to give.

Wandering back down the main staircase, the residence opens up to the basement. With the view on one side and the light well water courtyard on the other, the basement is filled with natural light providing bright and diverse spaces. These diverse spaces make the basement the perfect place for the house’s various amenities, including the gym, wellness spa, media room, wine room, billiards room, treatment room and 16 car garage.

Ho did not spend any money along her 19-day trip, she relied on assistance from strangers, to host and feed her, along the trip.

It touched my heart to receive e-mails and messages over time to inform me of how much my action has touched their hearts and influenced changes in their lives,” stated Ho when asked about her inspiration to continue this journey.

This training that Ho has been involved in is preparation for next year when she will attempt to set a new Guinness World Record while raising funds for the continued building of schools in multiple countries for underprivileged girls. Ho will embark on a 7,000 mile rollerblading trip across Europe.

“We are hoping to create a feature length documentary which will expose the audience to a new world of love, adventure, and friendships without borders.” Mentions Ho about her future.

It touched my heart to receive e-mails and messages over time to inform me of how much my action has touched their hearts and influenced changes in their lives,” stated Ho when asked about her inspiration to continue this journey.

This training that Ho has been involved in is preparation for next year when she will attempt to set a new Guinness World Record while raising funds for the continued building of schools in multiple countries for underprivileged girls. Ho will embark on a 7,000 mile rollerblading trip across Europe.

“We are hoping to create a feature length documentary which will expose the audience to a new world of love, adventure, and friendships without borders.” Mentions Ho about her future.

Ho maintains her website, TheBladress.com and on Instagram where more information on her adventures, fundraising campaign, and future plans, are available.

NYC Periodontist Provides Sponsorship of Game Played between Local Bronx Teens and the NYPD

In response to tumultuous news reports highlighting tension between NYC residents and law enforcement, Dr. Bernard Fialkoff, Periodontist and Dental Implant Surgeon of New York City, and President and Founding Sponsor of Foundation for A Drug Free World of The Americas Chapter, teamed up with Antonio Hendrickson, Founder and Executive Director of Lead by Example / Reverse the Trend to hold a kick-off Basketball Tournament. The basketball game, which will continue every other Saturday into the summer of 2017, helps to promote positive relationships between local Bronx teens and the NYPD.

By sponsoring, Dr. Fialkoff provided informational booths filled with drug education booklets at the game, combining the message of being drug-free with being crime-free. More than 100 local youth and teens came out to play. David Tidman, the lead presenter of Dr. Fialkoff’s Drug Free World chapter, helped cut the red ribbon with Antonio Hendrickson and an NYPD Community Affairs representative, announcing the kick-off of the basketball tournament, and a year filled with games promoting peace and unity.

Dr. Fialkoff said, “It is important to share the knowledge we have gained as adults with our children. They are the future generation and can be helped to avoid problems that we went through in our lives. As a doctor, one of our roles is to help our community, and that’s why I support the Drug Free World initiatives.” Joe Daly, a Video Production Manager, donated his time to produce a promotional video for the tournament that will be used to obtain further sponsorship for upcoming games.

Antonio Hendrickson said, “When you have a relationship with someone and it’s a positive relationship then that relationship can build into other things. What we want to do is let NYPD, Drug Free World and Lead by Example become mentors.” Hendrickson created Lead By Example / Reverse The Trend to help prepare young people in disadvantaged communities for adulthood through empowerment, and enhancing communication and social skills.

A Bronx resident who watched the game commented, “This shows that our children can work together, talk together and play together. It’s a great day because it’s drug free. No one is out here drinking, no smoking is going on; we are out here having a great time.”

In New York City, Dr. Fialkoff has trained more than 4000 law enforcement officers, and sponsored more than 1200 free drug education and prevention events.

NCAA DIVISION I SCHOOL TROY UNIVERSITY SELECTS HELLAS Z5000 EPIQ TRACKS

$

AUSTIN, TX – 13 Jul, 2017 – Troy University in Alabama is making track renovation a priority this summer, selecting Hellas Construction to install a new track in its Jesse H. Colley Track/Soccer Complex. Troy University is a NCAA Division One university, part of the Sun Belt Conference and typically sends athletes to compete at the national level every year.

Marc Davis Director of Track and Field for Troy University said, “When I came here three years ago I said that renovating the complex was definitely a priority. The complex was in need of work years before I came, but they were unable to get it passed in the budget. The university is now taking action to get the track back in shape. It has been a three-year process and I am thankful it’s happening now.”

They selected Hellas’ epiQ Tracks® Z5000 track system, a 15mm full pour system for its eight-lane, 400-meter track and field events. The Z5000 track system is IAAF approved and offers an all-encompassing superiority of cushion, control, energy return, and performance, perfect for major high-traffic stadiums and arenas.

“This should open doors for more hosting opportunities for the university. We are the only competition track within a 45 minute to a one-hour radius. The local high school uses our track for their competitions too,” Davis said.

The university has been losing out on income opportunities, due to the track not being competition ready. They are unable to host events because of the worsening of the condition of the track. Davis said the track has been patched in different areas and has bubbles on parts of the track.

“Right now, the whole area is losing out. The track is in need of so much work, we don’t want to host anything and put any athlete’s safety in jeopardy,” Davis said. “We use some of it for training right now, but we are only able to use one side of the runway,” he said.

Davis said, “This will open lots of doors that haven’t been available to us in a couple of years. It will open up a whole new world for us. We will be able to host meets here instead of having to travel for every meet. We can host camps to bring in athletes, which will help with recruiting for our program. We can bring back some of the events we used to host.”

The Colley facility at Troy University used to host many events including Coach O Invitational, Special Olympics, Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA) State Championships, and the U.S. Junior National State Championships.

“This is going to improve our program and what we as a university have to offer. Our team is getting better every year and it will be great for the kids that have been here so long and suffered because of the condition of the track to finally have the facilities they deserve,” Davis said.

Hellas has installed the epiQ Track Z5000 track system at various universities such as Florida A&M, Arkansas State University, Angelo State University, and at Prairie View A&M, where Olympic Athletes were able to practice before attending the Rio 2016 Olympics.

SAFETY IN STAINLESS STEEL: NEW PHOENIX COMPANY AIMS TO BOOST IN-HOME WATER QUALITY WITH LAUNCH OF 100% STAINLESS STEEL, LEAD-FREE FAUCET

The Lumen Silicone Arc™ to make official debut at this week’s Maricopa County Home Show

PHOENIX, AZ – 13 Jul, 2017 – The new, Phoenix-based Lumen Fixture Company is on tap with a health-conscious, eco-friendly product giving homeowners an edge in maintaining clean, safe water – the 100% stainless steel Silicone Arc™ faucet. Produced with affordability, durability, and elegance in mind, consumers and businesses alike will have a chance to see a live demo and meet the company owner at the Maricopa County Home Show.

“No homeowner should ever have to wonder whether lead or other harmful materials are coming into their water through the kitchen faucet,” said Wolfe Van, local aerospace engineering executive and founder of the Lumen Fixture Company. “What you have with the Silicone Arc™ is a faucet composed entirely of stainless steel, inside and out.  Homeowners can now be assured that they are one step closer in eliminating the dangerous bacteria and pathogens that we know many traditional faucets can leach into their water supply.”

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), drinking water constitutes at least 20 percent of the average person’s exposure to lead. Prolonged exposure can lead to harmful health effects, particularly in children. The agency goes on to report that among the most common household appliances by which lead and other dangerous particles can enter water are brass and chrome-plated brass faucets with lead solder. Though regulatory measures such as the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act limit lead-content in everyday faucets, Wolfe believes there’s an even better solution – a completely lead-free faucet.

“The Silicone Arc™ is truly the solution to common health and environmental problems – yet so few people know about it,” said Van. “We know that both the EPA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention agree that there is no known safe level of lead in a child’s blood. I knew it was time to bring this product to America and give homeowners the chance to take ownership of their water in an easy and practical way.”

It was during a February 2017 factory tours in Asia and Europe that Van initially discovered what would become the Lumen Silicone Arc™ Faucet. Made of 100% surgical grade stainless steel, the Silicone Arc is a rarity among kitchen appliances. It’s not only lead-free, but it’s also non-corrosive and oxidation proof. Additionally, where the production of brass and chrome plating can harm the environment, Lumen’s faucets are composed of eco-friendly materials. In fact, the faucet is currently at the center of a thriving, multi-million-dollar industry in Europe that has yet to be realized in North America – until now. Van established the Lumen Fixture Company, LLC earlier this year, with exclusive rights to sell the faucet in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

As an added aesthetic touch, the Lumen faucet is fitted with a stylish silicone hose available in three colors – red, black or white.

Wolfe and other Lumen Fixture Company reps will be at the Maricopa County Home and Garden Show in its entirety – Friday and Saturday, July 14 and 15 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday, July 16 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the University of Phoenix Stadium (1 Cardinals Drive, Glendale, Ariz., 85305). The Lumen Fixture Company will be located in booth 1803 & 1904.

About the Lumen Fixture Company, LLC

The Lumen Fixture Company is based in Phoenix, Arizona and has exclusive rights to sell the revolutionary, new Silicone Arc™ faucet in North America. The premium, 100% stainless steel faucet is manufactured with health-conscious materials that are lead-free, non-corrosive and eco-friendly.

Enhancing the business model and improving driver compensation in the Ride Sharing Industry

$
0

GEORGIA – 13 Jul, 2017 – The common refrain in the on-demand transportation space is that drivers are not being compensated properly and as a result there is a very high churn rate in the industry. Support from the public is being sort from drivers to complete a survey found here https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/researchondrivers The results from the survey will help to provide scientific evidence to underpin the case for a change of strategy by current players in the industry.

It is understood that one of the big issues in the current deployed Transport Network Companies (TNCs) models is that of poor vehicle/driver utilization rates.  This became a topic of interest to Mr. Michael Treasure while pursuing his Doctoral degree program research at the George Washington University in the area of on demand transportation and the usage of autonomous vehicle in the ride sharing space.  This interest lead Mr. Treasure to have personally carried out, in the Atlanta market, over 1,250 rides on both Uber’s & Lyft’s platforms. In carrying out these rides Mr. Treasure carefully and methodologically documented each ride, collecting data such as total miles driven on each ride, the portion of the ride in which the rider was present, unloaded miles and the wait times between rides.   

The results from his research carried out on the data shows that the average loaded trip miles by a vehicle/driver was 8.87 miles, while the average unloaded trip mile was 4.21 miles. The conclusion from this was that a vehicle/driver unloaded miles per trip relative to loaded miles per trip was approximately 47.46%. That is, for every 8.87 miles driven with a passenger the vehicle/driver traveled 4.21 miles without a passenger. Additionally, his analysis showed that the average ride time of a loaded trip was 18.51 minutes, while the average wait time for the next ride was 23.66 minutes. The conclusion Mr. Treasure drew from analysis of the data was that on average, in any given period of a vehicle’s/driver’s work shift, the vehicle/driver spent more time waiting for the next ride than spent giving a rider a ride.

These two results combined and highlighted in his research meant that that the vehicle/driver utilization rates, measured in loaded miles relative to unloaded miles and trip time relative to wait time, were approximately 52% and 48% respectively. These poor utilization rates revelation led Mr. Treasure to conclude that there were significant improvement potentials to be had in the TNC model for vehicle/driver utilization rates.

How does Mr. Treasure’s results translate to driver earnings with existing TNCs? He was able to use the data to develop a model to determine, for example, if one was interested in finding the average day’s revenue for 150 loaded miles travelled with 300 minutes of trip time for that day, a driver would earn $133.30. However, from the calculated utilization rates, it would have meant that the vehicle/driver would have amassed for the day another 138 unloaded miles and 398 minutes of wait time. Looked at in another context, this would have meant that the vehicle/driver would have had an 11 hour and 38 minutes’ work day, driving more than 288 miles for the day, which would translate to less than 12/hr. in gross revenue or approximately $0.46/mile. These poor results would in part explain why drivers are grossly unhappy with their earnings, majority just work a few hours per week and why there is such high churn rates in the industry.

Mr. Treasure’s hypothesis is that a TNC, with focus on optimizing revenue/hr., minimizing vehicle unloaded miles and minimizing vehicle wait time, will be able to achieve better utilization rates, and provide drivers with a much more equitable revenue share. This would then lead to the vehicle/driver pool levels used in a TNC model to be rebalanced to longer term workers and better vehicle utilization, which will lower the aggregate pool level of vehicles needed to satisfy ridership demand. Such a strategy will be essential to a TNC’s profitability in augmenting drivers with autonomous vehicle deployment.

To scientifically test his hypothesis, Mr. Treasure has taken a two-prong strategy. First, he is conducting a driver survey to help established whether drivers, if compensated better, and without TNCs having to increase their effective pay out rate to drivers, would be willing to work longer hours and for longer periods. The survey may be found here https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/researchondrivers. Second, he has developed an algorithm to solve the utilization problem and has founded a company along with his cofounders to commercially demonstrate, at scale, the viability of his hypothesis. This new TNC commercial model has been deployed under the brand Lymousine (www.Lymousine.com).

If this is an area of interest to you and you want to see improvements in the structure of the compensation relationship between drivers and ride sharing companies then if you are a driver, we invite you to please take the survey here https://www.surverymoneky.com/r/researchondrivers. If you are a rider and is interested in helping to support a better compensation structure for riders then visit www.Lymousine.com to learn more.

Drivers who complete the survey will be placed in raffle to win 1 of 3 prizes for an Amazon gift card worth up to $100.
