Coldwell Banker Action Holdings, owned by Amber Schuppan, helps family-owned farms maintain land and generate income. Amber also advocates for fair housing in her state as a member of the Nebraska Equal Opportunity Commission.

Coldwell Banker Commercial Northland, owned by Becky McBride, is a Coldwell Banker residential affiliate that expanded to a commercial brokerage. It will be the first woman-owned Coldwell Banker Commercial brokerage in Arizona.

Coldwell Banker da la bienvenida a afiliados a través de su programa de Propiedad Inclusiva

MADISON, New Jersey, 3 de agosto de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC, una marca de Realogy (NYSE: RLGY), dio a conocer hoy los nombres de los primeros tres agentes de corretaje se que suman a la marca como parte de su nuevo programa de <a target="_blank"…

MADISON, New Jersey, 3 de agosto de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC, una marca de Realogy (NYSE: RLGY), dio a conocer hoy los nombres de los primeros tres agentes de corretaje se que suman a la marca como parte de su nuevo programa de Propiedad Inclusiva.

Coldwell Banker da la bienvenida a tres nuevos agentes de corretaje: Coldwell Banker Omni Group en Santa Ana, California, propiedad de Tina Marie y Rich Hernández; Coldwell Banker Action Holdings en Grand Island, Nebraska, propiedad de Amber Schuppan; y Coldwell Banker Commercial Northland en Flagstaff, Arizona, propiedad de Becky McBride.

El programa de Propiedad Inclusiva, anunciado inicialmente en febrero, es una iniciativa orientada a aumentar la representación en la industria de bienes raíces de emprendedores minoritarios, emprendedores mujeres, emprendedores pertenecientes a la comunidad LGBTQ+ y emprendedores veteranos. Cada nuevo agente de corretaje que se afilie a Coldwell Banker no pagará la cuota de franquicia inicial y recibirá incentivos financieros para brindar apoyo a diversos propietarios de negocios en los difíciles dos primeros años de sus actividades. Los beneficios incluyen hasta 100.000 dólares de financiamiento y rebajas en las cuotas de regalías, al igual que formación y tutorías. Los propietarios también podrán hacerse miembros de un grupo aliado en la industria de su elección e inscribirse en las conferencias de este, incluyendo la Asociación Nacional de Corredores de Bienes Raíces, la Asociación Nacional de Profesionales Hispanos de Bienes Raíces y la Asociación Asiática de Bienes Raíces de América.

Coldwell Banker Omni Group y Coldwell Banker Action Holdings atendieron a las necesidades inmobiliarias de sus comunidades como agentes de corretaje independientes y ahora se unen a la marca Coldwell Banker. Coldwell Banker Omni Group, propiedad de Tina y Rich Hernández, ayuda a la comunidad latina del Condado Orange, California, a construir riqueza generacional a través de la adquisición de vivienda y propiedades de inversión multifamiliares. Coldwell Banker Action Holdings, propiedad de Amber Schuppan, ayuda a granjas familiares a mantener la tierra y generar ingresos. Amber también defiende la idea de una vivienda justa en su estado como miembro de la Comisión de Igualdad de Oportunidades de Nebraska.

Coldwell Banker Commercial Northland, propiedad de Becky McBride, es un afiliado residencial de Coldwell Banker que ha expandido sus actividades al corretaje comercial. Será el primer agente de Coldwell Banker Commercial de Arizona cuyo propietario es una mujer.

Mabél Guzmán, vicepresidenta de asuntos de asociaciones de la Asociación Nacional de Agentes Inmobiliarios (REALTORS®) también se unió recientemente a Coldwell Banker Realty en Chicago como agente inmobiliario. Su decisión, según cita, obedece al programa de diversidad de la marca como factor clave.

CITAS

«Me siento extremadamente emocionado de dar la bienvenida a la marca Coldwell Banker a tres nuevos agentes de corretaje. Nos encontramos en un momento crucial en el que ya no basta con sostener conversaciones sobre la diversidad, y marcas como Coldwell Banker deben actuar. Este programa aumentará la diversidad entre nuestros agentes de corretaje, por cuanto brinda apoyo a empresarios minoritarios, empresarios pertenecientes a la comunidad LGBTQ, al igual que empresarios mujeres y empresarios veteranos. Al haber mayor diversidad entre nuestros corredores-propietarios y mediante un enfoque centrado en una cultura de inclusión, los agentes de corretaje podrán ofrecer un mejor servicio a los grupos que tradicionalmente están subrepresentados como dueños de viviendas y de propiedades. Coldwell Banker puede ayudar a construir riqueza para comunidades diversas y promover la igualdad de oportunidades para todos».

– M. Ryan Gorman, presidente y CEO de Coldwell Banker Real Estate

«Durante muchos años, Omni Group ha ayudado a construir la riqueza generacional de la comunidad latina en el Condado Orange. Ser propietario de una casa y generar ingresos por concepto de alquiler puede ayudar a las familias a cubrir gastos importantes tales como la matrícula universitaria. Estamos encantados de ser parte de Coldwell Banker porque la comunidad latina merece contar con una marca poderosa con ofertas de lujo detrás de sus transacciones inmobiliarias. Estamos seguros de que esta alianza puede ayudarnos a fortalecer nuestro negocio y a ofrecer un mejor servicio a nuestros clientes. La marca Coldwell Banker es un gran aliado. Hemos emprendido un camino maravillo desde que tomamos la decisión de afiliarnos a ella».

–Tina Marie Hernández, corredora propietaria de Coldwell Banker Omni Group

«El programa de Propiedad Inclusiva de Coldwell Banker nos dio el respaldo necesario para que pudiéramos hacer todo correctamente apenas nos afiliamos a la marca. Reconocimos que necesitábamos una marca sólida detrás de nuestra compañía para atraer a los clientes en nuestra comunidad. A través de este programa, hemos logrado ampliar nuestra oficina, atraer agentes con experticia en el área y capacitar bien a nuestros nuevos miembros. Nos coloca en el camino del éxito como empresa propiedad de una mujer que valora la diversidad y aspiramos a seguir sirviendo a la comunidad de Grand Island por muchos años más. Estoy emocionada de trabajar con el brillante y solidario equipo de Coldwell Banker«.

– Amber Schuppan, corredora propietaria de Coldwell Banker Action Holdings

«Debido a que nuestra empresa se ha expandido por todo el norte de Arizona, sabía que era hora de incursionar en el sector de bienes raíces comerciales a través de la utilización de los recursos de la marca Coldwell Banker Commercial. La tecnología, el apoyo en materia de comercialización y la formación ofrecida por la marca Coldwell Banker Commercial son sorprendentes y tendrán un impacto tremendo en nuestros éxitos. Me emociona mucho tener esta gran oportunidad y realizar este nuevo esfuerzo como corredora de bienes raíces comerciales».

– Becky McBride, corredora propietaria de Coldwell Banker Commercial Northland

«Recientemente me uní a la marca Coldwell Banker porque he estado observando lo que ha estado haciendo desde hace algún tiempo, específicamente en lo que respecta a su dirección estratégica de inclusión y diversidad. No se trata de lugares comunes solamente. Ellos ponen énfasis en el fortalecimiento de la diversidad y la representación en nuestra industria y desarrollan programas para dar respaldo a eso».

Balogun Founder/CEO of www.primehangout.com. This is a technology developed to assist students of all ages in their quest for academic excellence and to lend a helping hand to every institution of learning all over the world. «What is Transparency™? Transparency™, a free service at every level is developed to remove stigma associated with learning problems. It is equally designed to assist teachers who are frustrated and wrestling with a what-do-I-do to help students a little more.«

«No child should suffer and struggle quietly with learning difficulties. Transparency™ provides an open door to a child having problems with whatever subject – math, science or any subject in any school in the United States and around the world. One thing we cannot over emphasize is the fact that Transparency™ is totally free for schools and free for students and their parents. All there is to be done is for schools to register to use it. Once registered, invitation goes out to Teachers who would in turn enter their student’s as well as parents’ information to receive exclusive registration invitation,» declared by Dr. Balogun.

Talk about social distancing, Transparency™ does not allow virtual discrete attraction or solicited prone personal interactions between teachers and students, or teachers and parents and even between teachers. The main mission to assist cannot be compromised. We are neither a school nor a meeting place for whatever reason but a platform to assist teachers and for students to gain better understanding. Our primary objective is to make it easier for students everywhere to have access to all necessary help.

What you see or have access to within the PrimeHangout platform depend on who you are and your login credential. PrimeHangout provides helpful and growth oriented interconnected web of technologies within a social media and this is just the beginning There is nothing like this. PrimeHangout takes social networking to a new height. You’ve got to experience it to believe it. We are still work in progress. Go to www.primehangout.com to become a registered user and invite as many people as possible to do the same.

Transparency™ makes it possible for teachers to post homework along with any specific instructions. Students and their parents would immediately have access to the homework posted. Any child in need of help should be able to find mentors. Those who would like to step forward and help as mentors are also encouraged to login to PrimeHangout and register to assist.

We also developed a unique Library as additional resource center and would greatly appreciate donating eBooks, teaching videos, etc. to the Library. Donation of materials that can help students every step of the way can only be submitted to PrimeHangout through our Library. As mentioned earlier, if you are willing to help students one-on-one as a Mentor, do not hesitate to register as such. Nothing is required other than your willingness to meet virtually for a minimum of one hour a day or one hour a week with the student you pick based on the subject of interest to you.

We are asking the media to give us equal attention, equal coverage and equal exposure as accorded Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter and for investors to check us out for possible investment. We are ready to continue to innovate, improve and grow as God would grant us the opportunity to do so. Come in and hangout with us for a rewarding experience.

2020 International Climate Action Challenge: 1,000 Eco-Initiatives in 90 Days

DENVER, Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — «2020 has shown us just how interconnected we all are,» said Joan Gregerson, Founder of Green Team Academy. «Worldwide, we are dealing with the same interlocking issues of the pandemic, racial justice, environmental justice, climate change, and economic upheaval. That’s a lot to handle, but now is not the time to delay action.»

DENVER, Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — «2020 has shown us just how interconnected we all are,» said Joan Gregerson, Founder of Green Team Academy. «Worldwide, we are dealing with the same interlocking issues of the pandemic, racial justice, environmental justice, climate change, and economic upheaval. That’s a lot to handle, but now is not the time to delay action.»

Gregerson notes that the UN Climate Conference that was originally scheduled for November 2020 has been pushed back a full year while leaders focus on the pandemic response. Meanwhile, record temperatures are being set in the Arctic and across the world. Scientists warn that every day we wait reduces our chances of getting a handle on climate change and other pressing ecological and challenges. 

«We want to let people know that we don’t need to wait for our governments or institutions to lead the way. Anyone can step up and make a difference quickly, once they know how.»

Gregerson’s new book, Climate Action Challenge: A Proven Plan for Launching Your Eco-Initiative in 90 Days, provides that framework. The book distills Gregerson’s experience working with dozens of teams from around the world into a step-by-step Action Plan. The book includes stories of dozens of teams that are making a difference in cities, faith communities, neighborhoods, businesses, and schools. 

To assist people in taking action, the Green Team Academy is organizing the 2020 International Climate Action Challenge. The goal is to help launch 1,000 environmental or community initiatives during the 90-day challenge period from September through November. 

Registration is free and open to all between July 31 and August 31. Challengers receive training, mentorship, and support to help them achieve their goals. They can also apply to be featured in the 2020 International Climate Action Challenge Summit in December. 

«Many environmental initiatives got put on hold as people stayed home and observed social distancing requirements,» says Gregerson. «Yet, our teams are finding innovative strategies to safely move ahead. They are hosting virtual workshops, building coalitions for environmental justice, starting green businesses, and organizing tree plantings and clean-ups. With a bit of extra care and ingenuity, there is no limit to the ways teams can take action, build community, and have fun doing it.» 

The Challenge is being facilitated by 100 partners from around the world. Challenge ambassadors, mentors, volunteers, and sponsors from over a dozen countries are making the challenge possible. 

«We are excited to be offering this opportunity for teamwork, creativity, and collaboration on a global scale,» says Gregerson. «This is an important moment in human history where what we do matters, now more than ever. We invite people to step up and join us, so together we can create the world we want.»

Timeline:

  • July 31: Book Release
  • July 31 – August 31: Challenge Registration Period

miR Scientific Named a Finalist in the Fierce Innovation Awards – Life Sciences Edition 2020

NEW YORK, Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — miR Scientific LLC, a precision biosciences company committed to transforming cancer management announced today that it has been selected as a finalist in the 

NEW YORK, Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — miR Scientific LLC, a precision biosciences company committed to transforming cancer management announced today that it has been selected as a finalist in the Fierce Innovation Awards – Life Sciences Edition 2020, a peer-reviewed awards program from the publisher of Fierce Biotech and Fierce Pharma.  miR Scientific was recognized as a Finalist in the category of Medical Device Innovation for its revolutionary liquid biopsy urine test that can accurately detect and grade prostate cancer non-invasively.  

miR Scientific logo

The competition highlights companies that demonstrate innovative life sciences solutions, technologies, and services that have the potential to make the greatest impact. 

The miR Sentinel Prostate Test solves an acute real-world problem involving the disease management of prostate cancer, a screened disease that represents the highest number of new cancer cases diagnosed annually and is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among men in the US. 

The current standard of care for the diagnosis of prostate cancer relies on inaccurate PSA blood tests to trigger very invasive, high risk and costly core needle biopsies, which for the most part are unnecessary. Current standards are utilized by less than half of the age-eligible male population in the US, further compounding health inequity and the opportunity to identify dangerous cancers earlier to allow for better outcomes. 

The innovative Sentinel Prostate Test developed by miR Scientific is non-invasive and can, with over 90% accuracy, detect prostate cancer as well as classify the risk category of malignancies based on a single urine specimen and without the need for invasive biopsies. 

The awards program’s applications were reviewed by an exclusive panel of executives from major biotech and pharma companies including Astellas, Accenture, AstraZeneca, Angiocrine Bioscience, Biotech Research Group, NIHR Clinical Research Network, Medidata Solutions and PPD. All applications were evaluated based on the following criteria: effectiveness, technical innovation, competitive advantage, financial impact, and true innovation. A full list of judges can be found at  https://fiercelifesciencesawards.secure-platform.com/a/page/judges 

Winners will be announced in the 2020 Innovation Report set to publish by Fierce Life Sciences on September 14, 2020. 

«We are honored by the decision of the award committee to select miR Scientific as a Finalist for the Fierce Innovation Awards – Life Sciences Edition 2020» said Sam Salman, Chairman and CEO of miR Scientific. «Our miR Sentinel Prostate Test powers a comprehensive disease management platform that is accurate, non-invasive, standalone and scalable. As a result, our platform provides clear and actionable answers to the most pressing questions that are on every patient and provider’s mind: Is cancer present and if so, how severe is it and what is next. Our technology can achieve quick and accurate answers to all of these questions from a single urine specimen, which should empower far broader engagement with all eligible men, including tens of millions of men who are not currently receiving the potentially life-saving benefits of early detection.  Aided by our proactive engagement with the urology and oncology communities, we have developed a game-changing technology that we are confident will forever change the standard of care for urological cancers.» Mr. Salman added that «miR Scientific is an impact minded organization and we believe this technology is poised to improve the lives of millions of men worldwide. Awareness and recognition are the first steps in the long road to broad adoption of innovative technologies, so we are thankful to the award committee for naming us a finalist for the prestigious Fierce Innovation Award –  Life Sciences Edition 2020.» 

The miR Sentinel Test is expected to be commercially available in the United States later this year and in select markets in Europe and Asia beginning in 2021. 

About miR Scientific: miR Scientific, LLC is a precision bioscience company that is committed to transforming cancer management globally.  The Company has developed a proprietary, non-invasive platform for the effective disease management of urological cancers. The platform is powered by the miR Sentinel Prostate test, a liquid biopsy urine test that can accurately detect, classify, and monitor prostate cancer based on the interrogation of small-non-coding RNAs extracted from urinary exosomes. miR Scientific is the only company with the interoperable products and services necessary to revolutionize the standards of care supporting urologic oncology. Such new standards are much needed given the debilitating prevalence and disease burden of prostate and bladder cancers globally.
