«The full impact of coronavirus on local restaurants has yet to be realized. Every day, restaurants face uncertainty as they continue to tirelessly serve their customers. In addition to ensuring we are providing the best tools and technologies for restaurants to accelerate into this new reality, we want to provide a sense of community for our restaurant partners and to do that we want to host a forum where restaurant owners can learn directly from each other about adapting during this time,» said Tom Pickett, Chief Revenue Officer at DoorDash. «We haven’t stopped asking ourselves what more we can be doing to help restaurants survive and this event aims to not only inspire restaurants during a critical time but to inspire us to better help one another navigate through this time together.»

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — DATAMARK, the public safety GIS team of Michael Baker International, announces that the Maine Public Utilities Commission, Emergency Services Communication Bureau has selected the firm for Next-Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) geographic information system (GIS) data enhancement. This work will be critical as the state moves toward a statewide, comprehensive GIS address point layer and road centerline layer that meet and exceed the National Standard for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSDI).  The project includes a review of existing road centerline data and existing structure location data to spatially adjust the geometries to meet national standards and to provide a mechanism for the remediation of missing/incomplete/incorrect address location data and/or attributes. The project commenced in June 2020 and is expected to last through February 2022.

«Our team consists of leaders in the complex technical areas of GIS, public safety and NG9-1-1, all of whom have extensive experience executing large-scale NG9-1-1 GIS data enhancement projects,» said  Chris Friel, Director of Strategic Accounts at DATAMARK, Michael Baker International. «Our data-forward, full-service – yet configurable – solutions will provide the highest levels of public safety GIS data completeness and accuracy for the State of Maine’s NG9-1-1 services.»

The project will improve Maine’s GIS data statewide to meet the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) recommendation for the horizontal accuracy of GIS data layers. The DATAMARK team will update the existing NG9-1-1 1 road centerline dataset to a more spatially accurate LiDAR-derived road dataset while keeping all the attributes and topological relationships of the linear features.  Positional Accuracy Improvement (PAI) rules will be configured to align the NG9-1-1 road centerline dataset to the LiDAR-generated dataset. The PAI process consists of performing the change detection, including matching, between the LiDAR generated and NG9-1-1 datasets.  The matched and reshaped features will be shifted to align to the LiDAR dataset while still maintaining topological integrity.

DATAMARK will use two proprietary software solutions throughout this project:

• Address Comparison and Evaluation (ACE): ACE technology will compare Maine’s master address sources to other sources containing address points (i.e., trash records, parcels, utility databases, etc.) and will identify address candidates not within the master address data source.
• Validation Edit Provision (VEP): DATAMARK’s VEP Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution improves public safety communication, location precision and ensures the data meets the stringent NG9-1-1 requirements. The data validation tools are built on the NENA NG9-1-1 GIS database schema and will help to improve Maine’s data after spatial realignment. They will improve the state’s street centerline and address point GIS data using VEP to execute iterative validation checks. The VEP validation engine allows administrators to run hundreds of specific data validations that guide data remediation efforts to improve the quality and completeness of the GIS data.

DATAMARK will work in conjunction with partners Quantum Spatial and 1Spatial throughout the project.

VERO BEACH, Fla., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — QOL Medical, LLC today announced that PLoS ONE has published the results from a study of hypomorphic SI (sucrase-isomaltase) genetic variants known to cause Congenital Sucrase-Isomaltase Deficiency (CSID). The results show children with a hypomorphic SI variant had more serious gastrointestinal symptoms than those without. 

The 18-center study of 308 non-Hispanic white children was designed to assess the prevalence of CSID-associated SI variants relative to the general population and the gastrointestinal symptoms associated with a known SI genotype within the study population.

Children with CSID, commonly known as Sucrose (sugar) Intolerance, have chronic diarrhea because they are unable to properly digest sucrose (table sugar), which is found in foods such as ice cream, apples, cake, and corn.

In adolescents and adults, CSID has been characterized by symptoms of chronic loose stools and diarrhea, abdominal pain, gas, and periodic nausea, which overlap with common irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms. In infants, CSID classically presents as explosive watery diarrhea, failure to thrive, diaper rash, irritability, and acidic stools.

«Results from this study reinforce the importance of testing children with chronic loose stools for CSID,» said Derick Cooper, CEO of QOL Medical, LLC. «We are hopeful these findings will translate into more awareness and testing for pediatric patients who face daily challenges with this disease.»

To review the full study, click here:

Currently, Sucraid^® (sacrosidase) Oral Solution is the only FDA-approved therapy for CSID in children and adults. Sucraid^® is an enzyme replacement therapy for the treatment of genetically determined sucrase deficiency, which is part of Congenital Sucrase-Isomaltase Deficiency (CSID). Sucraid^® can help improve the breakdown and absorption of sucrose (table sugar) from the intestine and can help relieve the gastrointestinal symptoms of CSID. www.sucraid.com

Healthcare providers and patients can acquire Sucraid^® through US Bioservices Specialty Pharmacy at 800-705-1962.

INDICATION

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — TOOTRiS, the fastest growing tech-enabled service provider connecting parents to high-quality Child Care, today announced Learning Hubs, a Child Care program for school-aged children aimed at solving distance learning challenges. Working parents are concerned about juggling work responsibilities and managing their childrens’ remote school days, while their employers are worried about absenteeism and workforce productivity. In direct response, TOOTRiS is expanding its real-time 0-5 aged Child-Care services to support parents as they face the challenge to provide school aged children with academic supervision and assistance in this new distant learning era.

TOOTRiS is leveraging their network of more 4,000 licensed and credentialed Child Care providers who have remained open for business during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Learning Hubs empower providers to take on school-aged children and leverage their already nurturing programs to provide a contained, safe and structured small group environment, not to exceed 8 children per CDC guidelines.

TOOTRiS is partnering with the employer community to stand up and subsidize on-site Learning Hubs as an extension to their benefits program.  Employers recognize that now more than ever they need to support their workforce to solve their childcare challenges if they expect employees to get back to productivity levels.

«Workforce productivity starts with Work/Life balance. Our economy will not recover unless the employer community recognizes their imperative role in helping to solve this Child Care crisis,» said Alessandra Lezama, CEO of TOOTRiS. «Learning Hubs ensures that children are getting appropriate supervision and a renewed sense of normalcy to help them navigate the challenges of virtual classrooms.»

With Governor Newsom’s remote learning mandate for the start of the 2020-21 school year, Learning Hubs are a Win-Win-Win Solution for children, parents, and employers. Other cities like San Francisco recognize the importance and immense value of the Learning Hubs concept to working parents and their children.  The Department of Children, Youth and Their Families recently announced that it will similarly transform some public facilities for high need San Francisco Unified School District students, into Learning Hubs starting this fall. Maria Su, Executive Director of SFDCYF, said, «We need to make sure that families do not have to choose between working and taking care of their children.»

To learn more about Learning Hubs and how employers can implement Child Care as a Benefit, go to tootris.com/learninghubs for complete program information and details.

TOOTRiS believes that every child deserves the opportunity to attend high-quality Child Care. As a tech-enabled service that combines tools for parents, providers, and employers, all within a single app, we empower working parents – especially women – by delivering real time access to Child Care, enabling them to find, communicate, enroll and pay, all while completely contactless. Providers grow their program with TOOTRiS curriculums, business, and marketing automation, while employers incorporate Child Care-as-a-Benefit, increasing their productivity, attracting and retaining top talent. In response to classrooms going virtual, we have created Learning Hubs, a service that provides safe and supervised small group environments designed to give school-aged children a place to learn and thrive. As we all adapt to our «new normal,» TOOTRiS gives parents peace of mind that their children, the most important people in the world, are safe and secure in high-quality care.
