Mosquito Shield Adds Jacksonville Location – Residential Mosquito Control Franchise has seven locations in Florida

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Mosquito Shield Franchise Corporation, a leading residential mosquito and tick control service with over 80 locations across the United States, is expanding its presence in Florida with the launch of its location in Jacksonville.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Mosquito Shield Franchise Corporation, a leading residential mosquito and tick control service with over 80 locations across the United States, is expanding its presence in Florida with the launch of its location in Jacksonville. This brings the business’ franchise total in Florida to seven.

Of the company’s recent expansion, Mosquito Shield VP Michael Moorhouse said, «Residential mosquito and tick control is a fast-growing business sector, and as the first company in this space over 20 years ago, we have the foundation to be extremely well-positioned for growth.»

Mosquito Shield spent over a decade refining its formulas and application methods from its Massachusetts headquarters before introducing a franchise model for local entrepreneurs in 2013.

«Our methodical approach to growth has set us up well for the impact of the COVID pandemic,» said Moorhouse, «While many businesses have struggled because of stay-at-home orders, such conditions have created a booming market for our services because people are left to enjoy the outdoors from their own backyards, rather than on vacation or at restaurants or large gatherings. With folks investing more to make their yards leisure-time destinations, the opportunity for Mosquito Shield to expand into new markets has exploded and we are experiencing an active period of growth as a result. The Jacksonville area is an obvious area to focus on given its population and the desire of residents to get outdoors and take advantage of the region’s gorgeous weather as much as possible.»

Owner Kim McDaniel moved to Florida 4 years ago and says, «Building our Mosquito Shield business in Jacksonville will be how we put down roots and provide service and value for our customers and our community.» She is committed to meeting and exceeding customers’ expectations and becoming the most trusted and recognized solution for mosquito and tick control in the area.

To book service through Mosquito Shield of Jacksonville contact Kim McDaniel via email at info@mosquitoshieldjaxfl.com.

About Mosquito Shield
Mosquito Shield, America’s leading residential mosquito and tick control service, is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Mosquito Shield addresses the need for an effective and affordable residential mosquito and tick control service. The company, listed in Franchise Gator’s Top 100 Franchise Opportunities for several years in a row, developed Mosquito Protection Barrier™ (MPB), a patent pending spray that rids properties of the existing mosquito population and builds a barrier around that property for a virtually mosquito-free environment. MPB includes FlexBlend, the industry’s only intelligent spray-blend technology. Mosquito Shield also offers a proprietary tick control service, Tick Shield™, and special event service Event Shield™.

Freedonia Analyst Weighs In On Quikrete’s Acquisition of Forterra

CLEVELAND, March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Quikrete Holdings, a leading producer of ready-set concrete, mortars and admixtures, and precast concrete and steel products,

CLEVELAND, March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Quikrete Holdings, a leading producer of ready-set concrete, mortars and admixtures, and precast concrete and steel products, announced recently that it was acquiring Forterra, a leading supplier of concrete pipe and related drainage products. The transaction, which is expected to be completed later in the year, will make Forterra a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quikrete Holdings.

According to Freedonia Group industry analyst Matt Zielenski, «This transaction will further enhance Quikrete Holdings’ position in the concrete building products market.  The company, which is already noted for its Quikrete line of ready-set concretes used by homeowners and construction professionals alike, also makes such construction products as erosion control systems, pedestrian and vehicular bridge components, and highway repair products. The acquisition of Forterra will allow the company to expand its offerings to include concrete pipe, positioning itself as a leading supplier of products for infrastructure and civil engineering applications.»

Furthermore, noted Zielenski, the combination of the two firms will offer opportunities in cost reduction, as Forterra operations will be more easily able to obtain raw materials, as well as in product distribution and marketing.

For more information on the outlook for pipe, concrete products, and other building materials, see the Construction & Building Products page on the Freedonia Group website.

Acclaimed Diversity Trainer Hosts Implicit Bias Special On E.W. Scripps TV Stations Across The Country

ATLANTA, March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Bryant T. Marks, Ph.D., one of the nation’s leading implicit bias trainers, will host an hourlong special airing this week on E.W. Scripps Company TV stations in 41 markets across the country. The show, «Hidden Bias of Good People,» is an extraordinary effort to raise awareness of the unconscious impulses of people who are unaware of the role their inherent biases play in their actions and decisions.

<div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference"…

ATLANTA, March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Bryant T. Marks, Ph.D., one of the nation’s leading implicit bias trainers, will host an hourlong special airing this week on E.W. Scripps Company TV stations in 41 markets across the country. The show, «Hidden Bias of Good People,» is an extraordinary effort to raise awareness of the unconscious impulses of people who are unaware of the role their inherent biases play in their actions and decisions.

Dr. Marks, founder and chief equity officer of the National Training Institute on Race and Equity (NTIRE), provides training for institutions and organizations, including police officers, educators, healthcare providers, corporations and public officials.  The TV show is essentially an anti-bias training session, a presentation that E.W. Scripps determined is so important to American society, that they are broadcasting it commercial-free to 80 million viewers.

«As America undergoes a reckoning on race, E.W. Scripps is providing a tremendous platform to spur thinking and conversations about the bias occurring unconsciously every single day across this country,» Dr. Marks said. «It is an example of genuine corporate responsibility.  We hope the show can enhance sensitivities towards implicit bias, making people more aware of their unconscious actions and create more environments where everyone is treated equally.»

Brian Lawlor, E.W. Scripps President of Local Media, noted that each American has experiences and backgrounds that shape their world views, as well as their daily interactions.

«As a steward of the public airwaves with a station footprint that reaches into nearly a quarter of U.S. TV households, Scripps has a powerful platform from which we can help facilitate critical conversations about the implicit biases we all carry and what they mean for how we connect with one another,» Lawlor said. «We’re proud to bring this special with Dr. Marks to our viewers in every market in order to provide a safe space for these discussions – neighbor to neighbor – about identity and bias.»

Founded in 2016, NTIRE is affiliated with Morehouse College, where Dr. Marks is an alum and an associated professor of psychology.  NTIRE’s training principles comprise a unique combination of social and cognitive science and the tenets of Martin Luther King Jr.’s version of the Beloved Community, while engaging the participants in an interactive process. Dr. Marks uses non-judgmental, yet evidence-based approaches to discuss difficult and sensitive topics, penetrating conversations that can enhance interpersonal and intergroup relations.

«Our approach to addressing racial bias is through empathy and humanity, not guilt, blame and shame,» explained Dr. Marks. «We believe when compelling information and practical strategies are presented the right way, it can change hearts, minds, and behavior. If people can talk and understand each other, and empathize with each other, then the result can be one of respect and inclusion, even if there is not full agreement on issues and perspectives.»

«Hidden Bias of Good People» will air on Scripps-owned television stations in 41 markets this week, including Baltimore, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Denver, Grand Rapids, Kansas City, Indianapolis, Detroit, Lansing, Las Vegas, Nashville, Phoenix, Tampa, Salt Lake City, San Diego and Richmond. View the trailer and check local listings for specific air times in your market.

Further, NTIRE is launching an interactive social media campaign #ImplicitBias #See ME on TikTok, Twitter, Instagram and other channels next week.  The campaign #Implicit Bias #SeeME will make people more aware of their biases in hopes of changing them. Today, NTIRE’s social media pages will compel people of all races to acknowledge #ImplicitBias and combat it by asking others to #SeeME.

(For broadcast or print interviews with Dr. Marks, please contact Michael K. Frisby 202-625-4328 or mike@frisbyassociates.com).

About NTIRE
The National Training Institute on Race and Equity (NTIRE) is a social-educational entity. NTIRE assists individuals and organizations with understanding, identifying and managing the content, skills, and behavior needed to create diverse social and professional communities that are inclusive and equitable. Built on a unique combination of social science, the tenets of Martin Luther King Jr.’s version of the Beloved Community, and engaging and interactive training, NTIRE uses non-judgmental, yet evidence-based approaches to shed light on difficult and sensitive topics to enhance interpersonal and intergroup relations. A portion of all revenue is donated to a scholarship fund at Morehouse College to assist young males with immense potential with reaching their academic and career goals.

The Conference Board Employment Trends Index™ (ETI) Increased in February

NEW YORK, March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Conference Board Employment Trends Index™ (ETI) increased in February, after an increase in January. The index now stands at 101.01, up from 99.69 (an upward revision) in January. The index is currently down only 7.8 percent from a year ago, which was the last pre-Covid reading.

NEW YORK, March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Conference Board Employment Trends Index™ (ETI) increased in February, after an increase in January. The index now stands at 101.01, up from 99.69 (an upward revision) in January. The index is currently down only 7.8 percent from a year ago, which was the last pre-Covid reading.

«The Employment Trends Index increased again in February and signals strong job growth in the coming months,» said Gad Levanon, Head of The Conference Board Labor Markets Institute. «The combination of declining new infections, lower pandemic-related restrictions, households flush with savings, and large government stimulus will all contribute to robust growth in economic activity and employment in 2021. The economy is likely to add 5-6 million jobs through the end of the year, and the unemployment rate will drop well below 5 percent. When the pandemic hit, a tight labor market appeared years away, but it may reemerge as soon as 2022.»

February’s increase was driven by positive contributions from six of the eight components. From the largest positive contributor to the smallest, the components were: Percentage of Firms With Positions Not Able to Fill Right Now; Initial Claims for Unemployment Insurance; Number of Employees Hired by the Temporary-Help Industry; Percentage of Respondents Who Say They Find «Jobs Hard to Get»; Job Openings; and Real Manufacturing and Trade Sales.

The Employment Trends Index is a leading composite index for employment. Turning points in the index indicate that a turning point in employment is about to occur in the coming months. The Employment Trends Index aggregates eight leading indicators of employment, each of which has proven accurate in its own area. Aggregating individual indicators into a composite index filters out «noise» to show underlying trends more clearly.

The eight leading indicators of employment aggregated into the Employment Trends Index include:

  • Percentage of Respondents Who Say They Find «Jobs Hard to Get» (The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Survey®)
  • Initial Claims for Unemployment Insurance (U.S. Department of Labor)
  • Percentage of Firms With Positions Not Able to Fill Right Now (© National Federation of Independent Business Research Foundation)
  • Number of Employees Hired by the Temporary-Help Industry (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics)
  • Ratio of Involuntarily Part-time to All Part-time Workers (BLS)
  • Job Openings (BLS)**
  • Industrial Production (Federal Reserve Board)*
  • Real Manufacturing and Trade Sales (U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis)**

*Statistical imputation for the recent month
**Statistical imputation for two most recent months

The Conference Board publishes the Employment Trends Index monthly, at 10 a.m. ET, on the Monday that follows each Friday release of the Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Situation report. The technical notes to this series are available on The Conference Board website: http://www.conference-board.org/data/eti.cfm.

WEST CHESTER, Pa., March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The announcement by Microsoft that tens of thousands of email servers had been hacked in a campaign attributed to a group of Chinese State sponsored hackers called Hafnium, drew a response from Pennsylvania Republican Senate Candidate, Everett Stern; «In multiple cases, my company has uncovered intelligence detailing Chinese government involvement in cyber hacking, potential espionage against the U.S. government and the theft and illegal acquisition of the trademarked and copyright protected intellectual property of legitimate U.S. companies,» stated Stern.

Technology companies need to step up to the plate and start taking responsibility, It is a matter of National Security

Stern is the CEO and Intelligence Director of a Private Intelligence Agency, Tactical Rabbit that works with companies victimized by theft of data and intellectual property.

The reported breach comes on the back of another major cyber espionage campaign uncovered in December 2020, and believed by US cyber security experts to be backed by Russia called «Solar Winds». That hack that went unnoticed for at least a year, targeted US Government Agencies and businesses. «Technology companies need to step up to the plate and start taking responsibility for the implementation of security measures, that prevent hackers and bad actors from reaping havoc on unsuspecting business and government agencies. It is a matter of National Security,» said Stern.
