Making Homes Safer Through Technology Is Becoming A Reality

SKYX Platforms Corp.

Did you remember to test and change your smoke alarm battery this month? How about last month? Last quarter? Have a problem with your home's security camera connecting to WiFI? We all have such safety-oriented technologies spread throughout our homes and properties, but what if these products were all concentrated in one smart sensor conveniently and centrally located in your house at the optimum location in the center of the room on the ceiling? That’s the aim of home-tech companies like Florida-based SKYX Platforms Corp. (NASDAQ: SKYX), which is on a mission to make homes and properties as safe as possible using advanced technology. Just as electricity is standard in many homes, SKYX Platforms will make our homes and buildings become safe and smart – with its advanced second-generation safety products equally standard in residences and other properties like hotels. One Step At A Time SKYX Platforms is launching its first-generation Plug & Play Smart Home Automation product where light fixtures, ceiling fans, and plugs can be concentrated in one simple ceiling fixture. The Plug & Play Smart product, based on its safety aspects, was accepted into the United States National Electric Code (NEC), as a standard for home safety. The company reports that the addition of its smart product into the NEC is the most significant update made to the NEC code in 40 years after the organization changed the definition of the receptacle in its Code Book to include the company’s Sky Receptacle product. Mark Earley, the former head of the NEC, has joined the company as the Chairman of its code team after his retirement after 35 years at the helm of the NEC. While advanced technology is key to ensuring greater conveniences with smart home safety products, the primary focus is increased safety in homes and buildings. On average, over 32,000 home fires in the U.S. are caused annually by lighting products, causing 430 deaths a year, according to data from the National Fire Protection Association. "We believe that our patented smart-safe platform technologies will revolutionize the smart home and lighting industries by saving lives, time and cost.” SKYX Platforms Founder Rani Kohen said. “Our platform technology will significantly enhance all-around home safety as well as smart home capabilities while fulfilling our mission to make homes and buildings become smart and safe as the new standard.” SKYX Platforms, which has over 60 patents issued and pending globally and more than 10 trademarks granted, has entered into agreements with General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE) for GE to allow the use of its name and logo on some of SKYX Platforms products and for GE to license SKYX Platforms products and intellectual property to other manufacturers. Other major smart home product companies include Universal Electronics Inc. (NASDAQ: UEIC), Orion Energy Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: OESX) (Orion Lighting), and Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI) As electricity is a standard in every home and building, our mission is to make homes and buildings become safe-advanced and smart as the standard. SKYX Platforms Corp. (NASDAQ:SKYX) has a series of highly disruptive advanced-safe-smart platform technologies, with over 60 U.S. and global patents and patent pending applications. Our technologies place an emphasis on high quality and ease of use, while significantly enhancing both safety and lifestyle in homes and buildings. We believe that our products are a necessity in every room in both homes and other buildings in the U.S. and globally. This post contains sponsored advertising content.

Gregorys Coffee Engages Trust Relations for Timely Communications Campaign

Trust Relations

Trust Relations, the fast-growing, strategic communications and integrated marketing agency, announced that it has partnered with Gregorys Coffee, a family-run specialty coffee company with 38 retail stores across the Mid-Atlantic, to launch a strategic communications campaign. Gregorys Coffee enlisted Trust Relations to revamp the company’s messaging and marketing materials, as well as execute on several brand activations as part of a targeted regional media outreach campaign to announce new brand offerings. The agency, which has a strong foothold in the New York media market, will also deploy a thought leadership campaign for Gregorys Coffee and its Founder, Gregory Zamfotis. “As our team and brick and mortar locations have expanded, we also have a lot of exciting plans in store for the remainder of the year,” said Gregorys Coffee Founder and CEO, Gregory Zamfotis. “I feel confident that April and the Trust Relations team can help us make the biggest splash and bring to life some of the creative ideas they shared.” Gregory grew up in the NYC food industry thanks in part to his immigrant, serial entrepreneur father who owned several casual, counter-service food establishments. His childhood was spent alongside his father operating the family businesses—and although he took a detour from the food sector to pursue an undergraduate business degree and enlist in law school—Gregory found himself drawn back to his entrepreneurial roots and passions for coffee and healthy food. With the help and guidance of his father, Gregory set out to create a specialty coffee shop that would provide amazing coffee and baked goods without sacrificing the guest’s precious time. Gregorys matches New York’s hustle-and-bustle culture––without compromising quality. All limited-edition coffees served at Gregorys Coffee are ethically sourced from small-operation coffee growers around the world, while the in-house baked goods are made from scratch by Gregorys. They also have an expansive vegan + plant-based offering that is second to none in the coffee industry. “We’re so excited to be working with Gregory and his rockstar marketing team on deploying some creative brand activations for Gregorys Coffee,” said Trust Relations President and Founder, April White. “The brand has witnessed more consumers seeking healthier food and beverage options without compromising taste, quality, or experience. We look forward to announcing Gregorys Coffee’s new products and developments in the months ahead and are honored to work with such a well-respected brand in the F&B industry.” For more information about Gregorys Coffee, go to www.gregoryscoffee.com/. About Trust Relations Founded in 2019, Trust Relations is a fully remote strategic communications firm that creates nimble and proactive “dream teams” for clients through a national network of the industry’s best and brightest practitioners. "Trust Relations" is a term coined by President and Founder April (Margulies) White to describe a new approach to strategic communications focused on communicating clients' authentic actions, values, and goodwill. In technology, trust relationships are an administration and communication link between two domains. In communications, they are a bond of mutual respect between a brand and the people it serves. The firm excels at identifying inspiring ways for clients to show their brand value by identifying supportive proof points and ideating creative activations that demonstrate their unique story and value proposition.

Secure Like Swiss? The Data Privacy Company That Reports Globalizing Its Currency Options

Sekur Private Data Ltd

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, more people than ever are choosing to stay home, according to a new Pew Study. This may raise additional concerns around cybersecurity if more and more aspects of life go virtual. In 2021 the cybersecurity industry saw over $50 billion in spending worldwide, and this number is forecasted to increase as more work is done from home and more measures are needed to protect both company and private data. Individuals and businesses around the globe may need solutions that work locally for them. Sekur Private Data Ltd. (OTCQX: SWISF) is one company that reports trying to find innovative solutions to these data protection problems. Companies that are dependent on U.S.-based cloud servers such as Google Cloud, offered by Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL), are also subject to a subpoena under the 2019 Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data (CLOUD) Act. Sekur is hosted in Switzerland to take advantage of the strict Swiss data privacy laws. It harnesses what its website describes as “proprietary military-grade encryption security” to protect its private, International Standards Organization (ISO)-certified data centers. Sekur says its platform provides secure messaging and email services as well as data storage, document management, and password management service — and that it also partners with companies like PartnerStack and Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM) to host a Sekur Business Suite platform. It has recently expanded its operations, hoping to make its platform an appealing international option. Currencies And Chats Both Part Of A Global Push Sekur entered the American market in July 2021 and in July 2022 launched its multicurrency, multilingual platform. This was part of Sekur’s global mass market launch to make it available for both private and business use internationally. Sekur’s multicurrency platform enables customers to avoid paying the often-expensive bank and credit card fees on currency exchange. It also creates a more seamless experience, ensuring users can use the platform in their own language. Since Sekur launched the multicurrency platform, it has expanded to include eight currencies from over 30 countries. These are USD, CAD, AUD, NZD, SGD, CHF, EUR and GBP. This gives customers in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Switzerland, any Eurozone country and the United Kingdom the ability to pay for the platform with their local money. Customers from outside these regions are still able to access the platform and will be charged in U.S. dollars. Sekur also plans to make its platform available in Japanese and accept JPY. Sekur saw a sales increase of 5,600% in the first quarter of 2022 when compared with the first quarter of 2021, while subscriber signups for the platform jumped by over 1,900%. This growth seems to be an indication that the multicurrency offering should foster even more growth Internationally, as Sekur is growing its global footprint.. Another component of Sekur’s platform, Chat-By-Invite, has as of August, enabled chats in 61 countries. Chat-By-Invite allows Sekur users to communicate securely via SekurMessenger by sending an SMS or email invitation to non-Sekur users. After hosting the conversation, the user who initiated the chat can delete the conversation from all users and at the server source. This initiative has been used by Sekur customers to communicate with people in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cyprus, Csech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Honduras, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Lichtenstein, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Oman, Panama, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States of America, and Vatican City. This list suggests that Sekur may see future growth in South and Central America, where it already has seen some success, and Europe, Asia, Australasia and the Middle East. Sekur Private Data Ltd. is a Cybersecurity and Internet privacy provider of Swiss hosted solutions for secure communications and secure data management. The Company distributes a suite of secure cloud-based storage, disaster recovery, document management, encrypted e-mails, and secure communication tools. Sekur Private Data Ltd. sells its products through its websites www.sekur.com and www.sekursuite.com, and approved distributors, and telecommunications companies worldwide.

Ukrainian Brand KIVI for the First Time Introduces its Smart TV Lineup with Own Content Hub in Europe

KIVI

KIVI, Ukrainian TV developer and manufacturer, for the first time has introduced new product line of medium segment smart TVs. The series includes models from 24’’ to 65’’ with different resolutions in frameless design. Product line has received a modern design, which is a result of the work of KIVI own R&D center and 3 international design offices. The models are made in a single stylish concept based on minimalism. To meet the high standards of picture quality, KIVI uses only class A+ panels, as well as several technological and software features. KIVI’s own speaker system was developed for the new product line with the support of JVC Kenwood company. 2022 smart TVs run a full-featured Android TV 11 OS with all the benefits of Google services, Netflix app integration and support of any compatible Google Play Market apps. Chromecast support adds the ability to quickly cast content from smartphone wirelessly. Google Assistant is running with voice command recognition. KIVI TV is not only a device for content broadcasting, but also a media hub with new features available immediately after purchase. Together with the new products, KIVI presents a large-scale media hub application KIVI MEDIA. At no additional cost, immediately after purchase, several sections are available to the user: TV Channels, Workouts and Games. New design To create a new design in addition to KIVI's own R&D 3 international design bureaus were involved. Out of more than 300 proposed options, the most sophisticated minimalistic design was chosen. The width of the visible part of the front frames is only about 2.6 mm. All models have Direct LED screen backlight technology with an optical distance of only 20 millimeters, which will allow to install TV as close as possible to the wall on a stand or bracket. TVs from 24” to 55” are also available in elegant white color. Image KIVI uses only A+ grade panels in its TVs, and R&D has done a lot of work to increase brightness, improve backlight uniformity and rich color gamut of the display. KIVI TVs support HDR not only for files from hard disk, but also when playing content online and gaming. Super Contrast Control 2.0 technology allows you to automatically change the contrast of the image not only of the entire screen, but also of its individual parts. To ensure that the UltraHD screen performs at its full potential even when viewing content in quality below 4K, the TV's processor is able to refine the sharpness of the image thanks to UltraClear technology. Max Vivid is our newest technology that improves an image quality and adds right amount of brightness and saturation by utilizing the power of a built-in powerful chipset. To make sure that video content looks smooth, and the details are clear our TVs have a built-in MEMC technology. Blue light protection By applying a physical filter to our screens, we have managed to reduce the amount of blue light by blocking short, high-frequency waves and allowing long low-frequency waves through. That helps to protect the viewers vision from blue light especially during night-time. Gaming Features Kivi TVs are offering best in class gaming features such as VRR and ALLM. They are fully compatible with modern consoles and could automatically change settings to provide the immersive gaming experience. Sound by JVC For the new KIVI product line, together with JVC Kenwood, an integrated speaker system was created that perfectly complements the high-quality image with good sound. The proprietary speakers are manually calibrated for each TV model and are enhanced with SRC audio processing and Dolby Audio Processing (DAP). The latter allows you to select sound presets and has additional tools like amplifying the volume of voice or auto-leveling harsh sounds during dynamic scenes or advertising. Google Android TV 11 In 2020, KIVI has signed contract with Google, that significantly influenced the stability and speed of the operating system. The joint efforts of the R&D departments of KIVI, Google and Mediatek are aimed at optimizing the operation of software and hardware, as well as detailed testing before the release of updated firmware versions. Thanks to the Android TV OS, certified by Google and Netflix, the user has access to all Google services created specifically for the TV platform, a huge number of applications from the Google Play Market, as well as Chromecast technology and Google Assistant. Control The remote control was developed in cooperation with the South Korean company Remote Solution. Ergonomics is built on the basis of KIVI and Google research: the buttons are located as intuitively as possible. The remote control works via Bluetooth, is equipped with a microphone and "quiet" buttons. The Air Mouse function is provided: with the help of a gyroscope, the remote control simulates a computer mouse cursor on the TV screen. KIVI MEDIA 2.0 Together with the 2022 lineup, KIVI introduced the updated KIVI MEDIA, a branded app for quick access to the best and most diverse partner content. Using KIVI MEDIA user will be able to have access to content immediately after TV unpacking. The KIVI MEDIA proprietary application will be updated regularly and will always have partially free content. Following content sections are available now: TV Channels: In cooperation with media content provides we offers free and paid TV channels (The list of channels varies in every country) Workouts: pre-recorded workout sessions which features the world class trainers will help viewers to keep their bodies in shape. Games: the section was developed in cooperation with the Boosteroid service (one of the three largest cloud gaming providers in Europe). Boosteroid technology allows to run demanding modern PC games simply on a TV: the game is launched on the partner's own servers, and the game process is transmitted via the Internet to the user's screen, who controls the game from his/her device, for example, from a gamepad. In addition to cloud gaming, free Android games for the whole family are integrated into the section. Control is possible using Bluetooth gamepads, remote control and smartphones, depending on the selected game. More sections and content will be available in KIVI MEDIA soon.

Simple tips and tricks to tackle inflation and manage budgets this Back-To-School shopping season

YourUpdateTV

A recent poll from Morning Consult found that only 36% of parents can afford back-to-school shopping this year without any issues. The National Retail Federation’s latest back-to-school shopping survey also shows a third of families plan to cut back on other spending areas — in order to cover the cost of must-haves for the new school year. Even with so many people concerned about costs, back-to-school spending is expected to hit an all time high this year — a whopping $864 per household for K-12, and $1200 for college students. Despite all of these challenges, there are some simple tips and tricks to save every penny you can for back-to-school shopping and beyond: Look for Student and Seasonal Discount: Flash your student ID and many popular stores will give you discounted rates. You can also take advantage of student discounts through sites such as Unidays and Student Beans. College students usually get the most discounts but many stores have savings for grades K-12 too. Spread Out Payments Over Time with Reliable Buy Now, Pay Later Options: With rising costs, many consumers are looking for greater payment flexibility when making back-to-school purchases. Pay Later with PayPal lets you spread payments out over time. For purchases between $30-$1,500, you can select Pay in 4 1 and break the cost into four interest-free payments with the first payment due at time of purchase. For those larger back-to-school purchases, you can select the new Pay Monthly 2 option and break the total cost into monthly payments over a longer period of time. Pay Later with PayPal gives you more choice in how you pay for purchases so you can select the option that works best for your budget. Learn more at paypal.com/buynowpaylater. Use browser extensions for coupons and cash back: You might think you’ve found the best deal out there, but there’s a good chance there are even better prices still waiting to be discovered. The Easiest way to make sure you’re paying the lowest prices — is to Install the PayPal Honey 1 desktop “browser” extension.

It even helps you layer savings by finding rewards that you can redeem for cash back.

Bernie Sanders Fined $15,000 by FEC for Hiring of Foreign Nationals

Coolidge Reagan Foundation

First Amendment watchdog Coolidge Reagan Foundation (CRF), on the heels of securing a record 6-figure fine against Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign and the DNC, announced it has secured a five-figure fine against Senator Bernie Sanders. In a filing not yet made public, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) acted on a 2019 Complaint CRF filed exposing illegal activity by the Bernie Sanders campaign. The CRF Complaint exposed how the Bernie Sanders campaign hired foreign nationals in violation of federal election laws designed to prevent international actors from meddling in U.S. elections. As part of a conciliation agreement with the FEC, the Bernie Sanders campaign must pay a fine of $15,000. Additionally, the Sanders campaign must agree not to contest the findings of the FEC and must cease and desist from further law-breaking. “I find it incredibly ironic and not at all surprising that the same people who were so outraged by the Russia hoax were at the same time violating laws to prevent foreign influence in our elections,” said Dan Backer Counsel to Coolidge Reagan Foundation. “The Bernie Sanders campaign got caught willfully and knowingly allowing foreign nationals to participate in the strategy, planning, and tactical implementation of campaign activity.” The original Complaint may be found here. The Conciliation Agreement will be posted by the FEC within the next 30 days. The Complaint alleged in part that, “…Due to the high profile of Cesar Vargas, Erika Andiola, and Maria Belén Sisa as leading activists in the undocumented community, there is reason to believe that respondents are ‘foreign nationals'…and in violation of…directly or indirectly participated in the decision-making process of persons with regard to the election-related activities…” The Bernie Sanders Conciliation Agreement follows another recent Coolidge Reagan victory at the FEC from a 2018 Complaint resulting in a $113,000 fine against Hillary for America and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for lying about their funding of the Russia Hoax dossier. “Our track record is strong. We went after Hillary, and we won. We went after Comrade Bernie, and we won, again,” Backer continued. “While those on the radical left may not care about the truth, we do. Our determination is unwavering, and we expect the FEC will agree with us again as we call out additional violations in FEC Complaints we have filed.” ### Please visit https://www.coolidgereagan.org/.
