An upsurge in government efforts to facilitate telecommunication relay services and the growing demand from large populations are expected to significantly contribute to the market growth.

The growing demand for communication services from individuals with speech and hearing difficulties is supporting telecommunication relay services’ market growth.

The telecommunication relay services help individuals and enterprises to enable effective communication. The increasing need to provide communication infrastructure to populations with difficulty in speaking and hearing is expected to support the market growth.

The captioned telephone service segment is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of above 5.0% from 2021 to 2027. The captioned telephones feature a display interface to view real-time captions to deaf individuals. The captioned telephone services are provided with support to both traditional telephone and VoIP connectivity. The emergence of internet protocol technology has enabled enterprises to provide captioned telephone services on multiple devices including tablets, smartphones, etc.

The IP relay technology segment is projected to witness exponential growth over the forecast timeline i.e., from 2021 to 2027. The expansive penetration of mobile devices and internet services is supporting the technology growth. The IP relay technology provides additional accessibility to services through computers, smartphones, tablets, etc. Additionally, the enhanced service quality and capability to initiate calls simultaneously are driving individuals to prefer IP-based telecommunication relay services.

The demand for TRS in personal end use is anticipated to grow exponentially from 2021 to 2027. The enterprises operating in the market are witnessing an upsurge in video relay service traffic and demand for other relay services. The companies including Bell Canada, KCOM Group Ltd., and BT Relay UK have witnessed a significant increase in the adoption of relay services across individual customers. The lack of communication channels to collaborate with other individuals is contributing to the rise in demand for telecommunication relay services.

Asia Pacific is projected to grow significantly in the global telecommunication relay service market with over a 6.0% CAGR over the forecast timeline. The growth is attributed to favorable government partnerships with private enterprises and increasing digitization. For instance, in September 2019, the Singapore Association for the Deaf signed an agreement with Grab, a technology company, to promote the awareness for the deaf community. In addition, the company focused on facilitating its Grab platform to be more accessible to individuals with hearing difficulties to communicate effectively with the public.

The companies operating in the market are focusing on strategic partnerships for providing telecommunications relay services across geographies. For instance, in April 2020, Convo Communications LLC partnered with Communication Service for the Deaf and Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf Inc. to provide relay services in White House press conferences. The company provided American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation services to the hard of hearing and deaf community. This helped the company to strengthen its brand equity across government agencies.

Some major findings of the telecommunication relay service market report include:

The growing technology advancements in internet protocols and mobile devices are expected to contribute to market growth.
North America is expected to hold a major market share for telecommunication relay services due to the expansive presence of enterprises and the penetration of diverse relay services.
Major players operating in the telecommunication relay service market are Avaya Inc., Bell Canada, Cisco Systems Inc., Relay UK BT, and Sprint Relay.
Companies operating in the market are focusing on strategic collaborations with government agencies to enhance the market position.

Juan Francisco Cano’s new book El Asesino de la Bufanda Roja, a gripping novel about a man’s harrowing journey of reckoning and revenge against his foes

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla., March 4, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book El Asesino de la Bufanda Roja was created by Juan Francisco Cano. Juan Francisco Cano is a first-time author who hails from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

<a…

Juan Francisco Cano said this about his book: «It is imperative to forget the past when fighting constantly to survive in the face of time that inclemently reminds us of that fateful moment when pain tore the weakest of our fragile spirits. His efforts to run away and get away forever from the past that marked his existence were not enough to evade the suffering he was going through every time he returned to the same point where his eyes, in the most unfair way, learned to cry of pain, sadness, and grief.

When he thought it was all over and that a new beginning would give him the opportunity he always sought, deception, cruelty, and injustice were present. That, in fact, became the trigger that with the simple touch of a spark charged with hatred, melancholy and (why not) contempt, it made him succumb to his desire for revenge.

Seeing the anguish his executioners showed every time they faced that reality that showed that they were not as brave as they wanted to show themselves to the weak beings who are unable to defend themselves filled him with the strength to move forward until he exhausted every drop of hatred he had in the depths of his soul.»

Published by Page Publishing, Juan Francisco Cano’s new book El Asesino de la Bufanda Roja will inspire within the readers an overwhelming and captivating intrigue as they follow a man’s road to vengeance and death that taints his being.

Consumers who wish to enjoy the suspenseful and page-turning moments of a man bent on wreaking havoc upon those who wronged him can purchase El Asesino de la Bufanda Roja in any bookstore or online at Apple iTunes, Amazon.com, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

More Than 200,000 New Listings Are Missing From U.S. Housing Market, According to Realtor.com® February Housing Report

SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — February’s extreme weather throughout the U.S. exacerbated the housing market’s inventory woes, pushing the pace of new listings coming onto the market further behind pre-pandemic levels, according to the realtor.com^® Monthly Housing Trends Report released today. Unless the trend reverses itself, buyers will be in for a much more competitive homebuying season than last year.

«Last month’s record cold and snowstorms likely caused sellers to hit pause, even if only temporarily,» said realtor.com^® Chief Economist Danielle Hale. «However, in today’s inventory-starved market, any setback is significant. Unless we see some big improvements in the new listings trends over the coming months buyers can expect stiff competition. And unlike last spring, buyers may also face affordability challenges as home prices and mortgage rates increase. Market dynamics continue to favor sellers.»

According to realtor.com^® data, 14.8% of the year’s total new listings came to market in January and February in 2017-2019, and new listings in these months were an even bigger share in 2020 as COVID scared off many would-be sellers later in the year. Approximately 207,000 fewer homes were newly listed for sale during the first two months of 2021, compared with the average for those two months over the last four years. New listings would need to increase by 25% year-over-year in March and April to bring the year to date figure back to April 2020’s levels.

Severe winter storms across the U.S. drive inventory down further
The number of homes for sale in the U.S. in February was down 48.6% year-over-year, a new low that translated into 496,000 fewer homes for sale. New listings were down 24.5% year-over-year, with the biggest drop — 35.2% — occurring in the third week of February, the most extreme weather week of a very cold and snowy month. New listings recovered to a smaller decline of 26.9% year-over-year in February’s final week as conditions eased.

Housing inventory in the 50 largest U.S. metros declined by 47.4% over last year in February, an increase from January’s 41.8% decline. New listings in the 50 largest U.S. metros were down 23.5% year-over-year. For some metros, the declines were far more significant with new listings falling 47% in Oklahoma City, Okla., 45% in Kansas City, Mo.-Kan. and 40% in Milwaukee–Waukesha–West Allis, Wis. Two of three metros with increases in new listings were in California. New listings were up 13.6% in San Jose, Calif., followed by San Francisco (1.1%), and Denver (1.1%) year-over-year.

Listing prices reach new high
In February, the median national home listing price grew 13.7% over last year to $353,000, surpassing last year’s peak price unseasonably early. The slowdown from last month’s growth rate of 15.4% was likely due to a change in the mix of homes for sale.

Listing prices in the nation’s 50 metros grew by an average of 11.5%, compared to last year. Regionally, the Northeast saw the biggest jump in listing prices, increasing at an average rate of 16.8% over last year. Prices were up 11.7% in the West, 10.9% in the Midwest and 9.5% in the South.

At the metro level, Austin, Texas, (+37.2%), Rochester, N.Y. (+27.6%) and Buffalo, N.Y. (+25.0%) posted the highest year-over-year median listing price growth in February. Miami (-2.7%), Denver (-1.7%), and Orlando, Fla. (-1.1%), were the only top 50 metros to see their median listing price decline year-over-year in February.

Buyers need to act fast
The typical home spent 70 days on the market in February, 11 days less than last year. Time on market was even faster in the 50 largest U.S. metros where the typical home sold in 48 days, 12 days less than a year ago. Homes saw the greatest decline in time spent on the market compared to last year in Austin, Texas (-36 days), Charlotte, N.C. (-28 days) and Portland, Ore. (-27 days).

CTEK launches new portable battery charger and maintainer, with Adaptive Boost technology

VIKMANSHYTTAN, Sweden, March 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — CTEK Sweden AB, a leading global brand in battery management solutions, has today announced the European launch of the CS FREE, an exciting new portable battery charger and maintainer with revolutionary Adaptive Boost technology, that will safely give a flat vehicle battery the power it needs to get going within…

The CS FREE means you are free from being tied to a power outlet, it is truly portable, so you can keep your 12V lead-acid and lithium* batteries charged and maintained, even if you don’t have access to mains power. For longer-term maintenance charging you can use the supplied PD Adaptor to charge from mains power or charge using power from a solar panel kit or a separate service battery. And with USB-C and USB-A outputs for charging laptops, smartphones, tablets etc it’s the ultimate 12V powerbank for your vehicle!

The CS FREE has an internal battery that takes less than an hour to fully charge through the unit’s fast USB-C input and, when fully charged, it will hold its charge for up to a year, making it ideal for keeping stored in the vehicle for when you need it.

Stefan Magnusson, Sales Director Aftermarket from CTEK said «We are really excited to be launching the CS FREE, the first in a new generation of CTEK battery chargers. Our Voice of the Customer programme identified that consumers wanted much more freedom from mains power as well as being able to quickly get going from a flat battery. The CS FREE meets these needs – it’s multifunctional portable charging that sets you free – simply charge it up, take it with you and use it anywhere.»

Suitable for use on cars, motorcycles, leisure vehicles, vans, and boats, the CS FREE is easy to use, there are no modes to select – just connect and the CS FREE will do the rest. If you are charging a flat battery, a simple LED displays show you when your battery has enough power to start your vehicle and there is also a countdown display that shows you how long there is left till your battery is fully charged.

Key features:

Compatible with all 12V lead-acid and lithium vehicle batteries.
Adaptive Boost: a revolutionary new technology developed by CTEK. The CS FREE carefully works out the best way to safely give any 12V lead acid or lithium battery the right amount of power so you can charge your vehicle battery quickly. It gets your vehicle started from a flat battery within 15 minutes without the need to connect to a power outlet and a simple LED displays show you when your battery has enough power to start your vehicle. Unlike most boosters or jump starters, the CS FREE is sensitive to the state of the battery and only gives it the charge it needs to get you started – so it’s completely safe for the vehicle electronics.
Charge anywhere: CTEK has also launched some handy accessories to enable 5A maintenance charging via solar panel or a 12V service battery.
– USB-C charge cable clamps – attach the USB-C charge clamps to a separate 12V service battery, for battery charging and maintenance, without needing to connect to a power outlet.
– Solar Panel Kit – the CTEK Solar Panel pairs perfectly with the CS FREE, so you can charge your battery via a solar panel and use it wherever you are. Fold it, transport it, and connect it in seconds, this intelligent and responsive solar panel kit delivers reliable solar power whenever you need it.
The CS FREE has an internal battery that takes less than an hour to fully charge through the unit’s fast USB-C input and, when fully charged, it will hold its charge for up to a year, making it ideal to store it in the vehicle for when you need it.
Storage options: store and transport the CS FREE using a tough and robust storage bag or wall mount the CS FREE using the CS Wall Mount – both available to purchase separately.
Charge your tech: USB-C and USB-A outputs for charging laptops, smartphones, tablets, watches and cameras, even when the CS FREE is not connected to a power outlet.
New look: features a sleek new ergonomic design with a tough and durable case.
The CS FREE comes with a 2-year warranty

Stefan Magnusson continued «The CS FREE is a groundbreaking new product that provides the ultimate flexibility for quickly and safely charging your vehicle battery. With many people’s driving habits changing so drastically – cars being driven less frequently and in many cases on shorter journeys – our vehicle batteries are working harder than ever before, putting us at heightened risk of a flat battery. For many of us, we don’t have the ability to connect a battery charger to mains power – perhaps because we live in an apartment block or because we store a seasonal vehicle in a storage facility or driveway. The CS FREE not only gives you the freedom to charge anywhere, it gives you peace of mind that you won’t be left stranded with a flat battery.»

The CS FREE is now available in stores across Europe and will be launching in Australia (Q2 2021) & North America (Q3 2021) later on this year.

Snips chooses Tritan™ Renew for a new sustainable line of housewares

New food storage containers and hydration bottles will contain 50% certified recycled content.

ROTTERDAM, The Netherlands, March 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — In line with its eco-friendly principles, Italian-based Snips has partnered with Eastman to launch a line of water bottles and food storage containers made with Eastman Tritan^™Renew copolyester, a durable, BPA-free material that contains 50% ISCC-certified recycled content* made possible through innovative molecular recycling.

Snips sustainable water bottles and food storage containers are available today and support the company’s eco-friendly initiatives. «Sustainability is at the core of our business,» says Snips owner Raffaele Piacenza. «Reusable housewares are a practical way to eliminate single-use plastic waste. We need to start thinking about new solutions to enjoy the advantages that plastic offers while reducing waste. Eastman shares our commitment to sustainability and recycling. Now and in the future, Snips will be a steadfast participant in the circular economy.»

Tritan Renew is made through Eastman’s Advanced Circular Recycling — also known as molecular recycling — which breaks down plastic waste into fundamental building blocks to be used again in manufacturing processes. By replacing traditional fossil feedstocks with recycled content, the company is helping to divert plastic waste from landfills, incinerators and our oceans. The process also produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions than manufacturing with fossil feedstocks.

Unlike those made from mechanically recycled plastic, products made with Tritan Renew present no trade-offs in quality, providing the performance consumers demand. That’s because Tritan Renew is chemically identical to legacy Eastman Tritan™ copolyester, the industry standard for clarity, shatter resistance and dishwasher durability.

The new 4 Recycle line of Snips water bottles and plastic storage containers represents the first adoption of Tritan Renew in the EMEA market. «We’re excited to help Snips augment its eco-friendly lineup,» says Eastman Market Development Manager Arnold van den Berg. «We believe Tritan Renew, as a way of reducing plastic waste, will resonate with their customers. These durable bottles and containers represent every ‘R’ in the eco-conscience mantra we embrace at Eastman: reduce, reuse, recycle. We look forward to a long and collaborative relationship. In fact, to expand the availability of our Renew products, we’re building a new plastic-to-plastic molecular recycling facility in Kingsport, Tennessee. This will be one of the largest in the world, converting more than 100,000 metric tons of plastic waste to make new sustainable materials.»

Brands can learn more about how Tritan Renew can help meet their sustainability goals by visiting eastman.com/tritanrenew. For more information on molecular recycling and the circular economy, visit eastman.eco.

*Via its Advanced Circular Recycling technologies, Eastman produces circular products that are certified by the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) by mass balance allocation. ISCC is a third-party global certification system that addresses sustainability requirements for all feedstocks and markets. Mass balance accounting tracks recycled content used in complex manufacturing systems. When plastic waste is broken down, the building-block molecules are placed in a virtual inventory of the amount of sustainable content generated. To produce products that carry certified recycled content, a withdrawal is made from the credit bank to account for the recycled building blocks.

New Service Allows Tracking of Viral Variants and Vaccine Resistance with A Single Sample

IRVINE, Calif., March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Zymo Research announced today the launch of its Environ™ COVID-19 Wastewater Testing Service. This service facilitates daily community-wide monitoring of COVID-19 cases and variants from a single wastewater sample. Daily case estimates and detected SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern are provided via a secure digital report.

The Environ™ COVID-19 Wastewater Testing Service uses daily wastewater samples to provide institutions with the means to monitor COVID-19 variants and case levels. Participants will be provided with sample collection devices, enabling daily wastewater sample submission, and materials for secure, pre-paid overnight shipping. Within 24 hours of each sample submission, users will receive an electronic report containing their trend and case estimate analysis. Data pertaining to SARS-CoV-2 variants will be processed weekly. Case estimates are provided as well as daily concentration trends and the detection of variant strains of concern, relating to those found in Brazil, the UK, and South Africa. A Zymo Research Environ™ wastewater scientist guides every step of the process, from sample collection to interpretation of results.

«COVID-19 variants pose a significant risk to vaccination strategies making fast, reliable SARS-CoV-2 variant surveillance at scale more critical than ever before,» said Michael Lisek, Project Manager, Environmental Microbiomics at Zymo Research. «We are grateful for the opportunity to help universities, public health agencies, and communities with limited testing resources monitor COVID-19 cases and variants at scale in a way that has not been possible before.»

Institutions of higher education, schools with on-campus housing, nursing homes, correctional facilities, and hospitals are ideal candidates for wastewater testing due to the need for focused monitoring of populations at higher risk for COVID-19. By sampling in wastewater from group-living situations, organizations can quickly identify COVID-19 outbreaks up to a week before symptomatic cases appear with the Environ^™ COVID-19 Wastewater Testing Service. The data from the service may be used to guide health strategies for public and private institutions.

As vaccine rollouts continue, the Environ™ COVID-19 Wastewater Testing Service will serve a critical role in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic by providing insight into case levels and variants present in communities.

Bill to Support Women In Trucking Association’s Mission Reintroduced in Bipartisan effort

PLOVER, Wis., March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The transportation sector has always been a male dominated workforce. Female pilots, truck drivers, conductors and ship captains are still in the minority. The Women In Trucking Association (WIT) was formed to specifically address the lack of diversity.

Senator Jerry Moran (R-KS) recognized the need to address the inequity at the federal level and recently re-introduced a bill, Promoting Women in Trucking…

Senator Jerry Moran (R-KS) recognized the need to address the inequity at the federal level and recently re-introduced a bill, Promoting Women in Trucking Workforce Act. The bill directs the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administrator to establish an advisory board to address ways to increase the ranks of women in trucking. Moran was successful in passing similar legislation in the aviation industry.

The bill has received bi-partisan support in both the House and the Senate and was created in collaboration with Ellen Voie, President and CEO of WIT, whose mission is to encourage the employment of women in the trucking industry, address obstacles and celebrate the success of its members.

«This legislation not only aligns with WIT’s goals, but it has been an important and urgent objective for years, and today we are celebrating this success,» said Voie. «We also want to thank the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association and the American Trucking Associations for their support in advancing our mission through this advisory committee,» Voie added.

WIT was formed in 2007 and has over 5,500 members, including major industry giants Amazon, Arrow Truck Sales, Daimler Trucks, Expediter Services, FedEx Freight, Great Dane, J.B. Hunt Transport, Michelin, PACCAR, Penske, Ryder System, Walmart, and Waste Management.

«This bill will help us create a more female-friendly environment in supply chain careers so we can not only attract and retain, but promote women in trucking,» said Voie. «We have spent more than a decade working on these issues with little government support, so we are happy to elevate our efforts to the federal level,» Voie added.

The nonprofit association has seen the growth of women as drivers, technicians, managers and CEOs since its inception, and credits the group’s achievements. The list of accomplishments is extensive but include advancements in truck cab design and ergonomics, truck stop safety and amenities, a Diversity and Inclusion Index, Driver Ambassador program and Image Teams comprised of female drivers in both the US and Canada.

WIT is the only international organization that represents women working in the trucking industry and has been recognized for its efforts by the White House as a «Transportation Innovator Champion of Change,» under President Obama.

Voie looks forward to serving on the advisory committee.
