DUBLIN, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The «Rekeep: Resilient Business Mix & Strong Liquidity to Manage Through Coronavirus» company profile has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

Why Read?

• Understand why Rekeep’s revenue and Adj EBITDA are likely to be significantly more resilient to the coronavirus shock than its peer group (Atalian, ISS, Sodexo and Compass) in spite of its geographic concentration in hard-hit Italy
• Understand why Rekeep’s liquidity position is resilient across our base and stress cases, without even considering any potential access to state guaranteed loan schemes
• Understand why we believe Rekeep can successfully refinance ahead of its significant debt maturities (RCF and non-recourse factoring facilities maturing Dec-21 and Senior Secured Notes, SSNs, Jun-22)
• Understand why, even though there is only a very small equity cushion in our stress case and potentially priming risks that could dilute SSNs recovery, we view Rekeep as our preferred debt play in the HY Facility Management sector, over and above Atalian
• Understand Rekeep’s history of litigation and the FM4 fine
• Understand the Facility Management and Laundering & Sterlisation businesses and Rekeep’s positioning within them

What’s New?

• Peer group comparison of client mix – segmenting revenue by client for Atalian, ISS, Sodexo and Compass into the structure reported by Rekeep (Healthcare, Public, Private) to identify how much more exposed Rekeep is to healthcare / public sector / essential services contracts that remain in operation even in hard-hit Italy
• Peer group comparison of liquidity positioning and resilience
• Financial projections (including of liquidity) and valuation to capture intensification of coronavirus crisis, informed by recent peer company data

Major Questions Answered

• What are our base and stress case liquidity and net leverage projections for Rekeep through each quarter of coronavirus-impacted FY 20 and beyond?
• How does Rekeep’s liquidity vs annual expenses (ex. D&A) compare with that of peers?
• Why do we think our revenue and cost flexibility assumptions through FY 20 are consistent with peers’ actual experience thus far and forward guidance, taking into account geographic and end client differences across firms?
• How do the Italian SACE and CDP State guarantee-based loan schemes work in case Rekeep needs them?
• What are the likely working capital drivers and movements in Q2 (likely the key coronavirus quarter) and FY 20?

KAWANISHI-CITY, Japan, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Photocatalytic reaction can directly convert solar energy to chemical energy so that it can produce hydrogen and oxygen, by decomposing water by utilizing the sun light energy.  Therefore, research over photocatalytic reaction is becoming very active because energy and environmental problems are becoming very serious problem nowadays and demands for reducing the usage of fossil-based fuel and energy is getting stronger. If one could produce hydrogen efficiently from the sun light and water, it will be a great progress to create a hydrogen energy-based society, instead of a coal and petroleum based modern society.  

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs), also known as porous coordination polymers (PCPs), are materials composed of metal cations and organic ligands that bridge component metals. MOFs are synthesized as super-porous materials by modifying their metal and organic ligand, as well as the shape and size of pores. Pore size can be controlled in less than nm order, and MOFs possess a very large specific surface area (1000 – 9000 m2/g). Additionally, their chemical group can be tailored at the molecular level. One can obtain super-porous highly crystallized chemical compounds with high periodicity by reacting an appropriate robust organic linker and a metal cluster at appropriate position and direction. With conventional porous materials such as activated carbon, zeolite, and mesoporous silica, it was difficult to create the exact porous structure with the desired shape, pore size and specific surface area.  With MOF, one can artificially design the structure, surface area, shape and size of the pores at the molecular level, as well as creating high dimensional functional materials with complex structure.  Theoretically, MOFs can be prepared by combining numerous types of metals and organic ligands; more than 40,000 kinds of MOFs have been reported already. Because MOFs are completely new ultimate inorganic–organic hybrid porous materials, the chemical industry and academic field have recently been highly focused on them.  

Green Science Alliance has been synthesizing various types of MOFs and has been trying to apply MOFs to rechargeable batteries, fuel cell, CO2 adsorption, water vapor adsorption, metal adsorption, deodorizing, artificial photosynthesis, etc.    

This time, Dr. Tsutomu Koninata and Dr. Ryohei Mori at Green Science Alliance have developed one kind of MOF which exhibited photocatalytic activity under metal halide lamp illumination.  Methylene blue was degraded by MOF’s photocatalytic activity in aqueous solution.   It is necessary to produce hydrogen efficiently with low cost, although conventional photocatalytic material such as TiO2 can only utilize ultraviolet light which is only the 3～4% portion of solar energy.  Therefore, the conversion efficiency of water to hydrogen is low with the help of solar energy.  WO3 could be good visible light response photocatalytic material, although tungsten could be expensive is not abundant element on the planet.

In this regard, MOF can be the good catalytic material to be scrutinized because the meticulous structure, surface chemical group and the pore size can be controlled by modifying the synthetic procedure.  On top of that, various types of MOF can be prepared by choosing appropriate metal and organic linker, which may result in creating MOF with visible light response type photocatalytic activity and high conversion efficiency.  

Green Science Alliance will keep making an effort to create MOFs with high photocatalytic activity which responses to visible light, for real practical application in the near future.

HOUSTON, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — WHAT’S WRONG WITH GROWN-UPS? is a question most kids would love to ask but are often too busy with video games, social media, and texting friends. Well now these inquisitive, thoughtful kids can get this question and many others answered thanks to What’s Wrong With Grown-Ups?  a new intergenerational card game from Authentic Agility Games that was created with kids and their crazy questions in mind. Similar to its first two successful card games, What’s Wrong With Grown-Ups? consists of 500 thought provoking, entertaining and often provocative questions designed specifically for curious kids and their family and friends. Officially launching today Amazon.com, kids and their parents and caregivers can begin to strengthen their bond by asking open-dialog questions to get more than a «yes» or «no» response.

Following the success of her first two games, How Do You See The World? and Why Can’t We All Just Get Along?,» Florida-based entrepreneur Cathy Cranberg says that she developed this intergenerational game to stimulate conversations between kids of today, their peers and kids and adults, and as a fun and engaging way to get everyone involved. «We realized important conversations should not be separated due to age or interests, but rather encouraged at all ages». What’s Wrong With Grown-Ups? is now available on Amazon.com for $24.99.

«While there may be other games on the market, none offer questions that will more effectively bridge the generational gap, foster open and honest conversation, encourage play together as a family, and teach you something important or interesting about one other. Adults and kids alike were created for connection and in these increasingly challenging and complex times, it has become even more vital to our overall health,» says Cranberg. «Similar to our first two games, What’s Wrong With Grown-Ups? creates deeper conversations with kids, allowing adults to think like kids and begin to better understand their ideas, actions, and day-to-day challenges. However, this version also encourages imagination and challenges what you think you know about the group. What’s Wrong With Grown-Ups? was developed to break kids away from their smart devices, and have discussions among their peers, family and friends at a time when there has likely never been as great a divide among the generations as exists today,» she adds.

The questions included in What’s Wrong With Grown-Up? are fun, inventive, short, and to the point, given the limited attention spans of kids and teens. The rules are simple; the player rolls the dice and then selects the category that correlates with the symbol on the die. The player then asks that related question for all to answer in our own ways and words. The 500 questions are written so anyone can answer, drawing at times surprising and unique answers and fun physical challenges. The game is about cooperative play and is not focused on winning and losing, but rather offering an opportunity to drive conversations as you learn about what kids think about important topics. 

What’s Wrong With Grown-Ups? is the third title in a series of open-conversation card games from Authentic Agility Games. The first game, How Do You See The World? focused on open discussions on real-world topics among friends, colleagues, and strangers, and the second game Why Can’t We All Just Get Along? focused specifically on political and religious topics designed to unite us and embrace diversity of thought.

«Our mission when we launched three short years ago was to develop a series of card games differentiated by its questions and content and designed to stimulate conversation among various audiences and segments of the population that would not generally be discussed,» Cranberg notes. «We are extremely pleased with the success and popularity of our first two games and anticipate similar success with What’s Wrong With Grown-Ups?,» she notes, concluding that «we donate proceeds from the sales to support educational and entrepreneurial organizations that are working to change the world in a meaningful way. That’s something kids and adults can get behind.»
