InventHelp Inventor Develops Fan Attachment to Improve Air Quality (PHO-2736)

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — «When I look at fans, I notice a lot of dust collected on the blades and I thought there could be a better way to filter this dust without the use of a traditional air purifier,» said an inventor, from Gilbert, Ariz. «I also have lived in a cold, dry climate and a dusty, low humidity climate and needed a solution for adding moisture to the air, so I invented the M A T.»

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — «When I look at fans, I notice a lot of dust collected on the blades and I thought there could be a better way to filter this dust without the use of a traditional air purifier,» said an inventor, from Gilbert, Ariz. «I also have lived in a cold, dry climate and a dusty, low humidity climate and needed a solution for adding moisture to the air, so I invented the M A T.»

The invention provides added moisture to the air in climates with dry air or low humidity. It also prevents the buildup of dust particles collected on fan blades during operation. As a result, it could enhance air quality and it offers an alternative to running air conditioning units. The invention features an efficient design that is convenient and easy to use with conventional floor-standing or table-mount fans and it is ideal for households and businesses. Additionally, it is producible in design variations and a prototype is available.

The original design was submitted to the Phoenix sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 19-PHO-2736, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

Only Human Partners with the Big Idea Project to Support Future Leaders of America

PHOENIX, Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Only Human, a community-based organization that exists to make the world a better place by celebrating the things that make people «only human,» has partnered with the

PHOENIX, Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Only Human, a community-based organization that exists to make the world a better place by celebrating the things that make people «only human,» has partnered with the Big Idea Project to collectively bring classrooms, companies and local communities together under one vision: to develop our nation’s future generous leaders.

For the month of August, 10 percent of Only Human’s profits will be donated to support the Big Idea Project. The Big Idea Project works toward actively shifting the education paradigm for families, students and educators—moving from standards-centered, centrally controlled education to student-centered, empowered learning. In this new emerging paradigm, the Big Idea Project is modeling a way forward for students to become their best selves by engaging in work that makes their families, future companies and communities better.

«Given the current educational landscape, amid the pandemic, our students are lacking the education they deserve. Their young minds are counting on the adults in their lives to help them achieve academic excellence but as adults are forced to wear multiple hats – parents, professional, teacher, activist, caretaker, etc. – our youth is receiving a half-hearted education, which is never warranted,» said Bree Pear, founder of Only Human. «Kids are feeling isolated, teachers are feeling scared, and parents are overwhelmed, which makes now the perfect time to hit reset and implement change. A change that shifts the education system’s focus to not only academics but to life skills and wisdom that will help students succeed in and out of school.»

The Big Idea Project provides schools and families with an experiential leadership development program that goes beyond building practical academic skills to also meet the needs of the whole person, equipping students with a new way of thinking, learning and behaving that develops confidence, curiosity, empathy, well-being and workforce-ready skills. Working closely with professional and grassroots educators, the Big Idea Project provides training, resources, a community of mentors, and on-going support so that educators can unlock their students’ potential.

«More than ever, schools need to prepare students for life, and although 74 percent of U.S. high school students believe their work should be real-world relevant and purposeful, they still lack the resources to engage in this sort of work after graduating,» said Tricia Halsey, Founder and Executive Director of Big Idea Project. «We need to facilitate a new kind of learning in an information age where jobs demand collaboration, communication and healthy, whole humans who can integrate their head and their heart with their life and work. The COVID pandemic has become the catalyst to bring needed change in schools. We see this time as an opportunity to offer Big Idea Project’s methods to more teachers and parents so that we can all collectively release the untapped potential of a generation. Together we are co-designing solutions that empower students to gain the confidence, experience and wisdom to be their best self and do their best work. This is the foundation for equipping and empowering our children to be future generous leaders.»

Only Human invites the public to help light the way for the nation’s younger generations. In a larger effort to support this month’s cause campaign, the two organizations are hosting a series of events:

  • School Supply Drive with ICM on August 2 from 8 a.m. – 12 p.m. MST located at the Only Human mural in Tempe, Ariz.
  • Online School Supply Drive with ICM throughout August: https://onlyhumanco.com/school-supply-drive-2020/
  • Nominate an educator who is lighting the way to receive $3,500+ in school supplies (and more) for the upcoming year: https://onlyhumanco.com/giveaway/
  • Virtual Thought Leaders in Education Panel on August 13 from 4:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. MST. Panelist consists of various thought leaders in education coming together to discuss timely and relevant topics related to education and the upcoming school year. https://onlyhumanco.com/virtual/
  • Educator Virtual Meetup on August 16 from 4:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. MST. The meetup is a free and open invite to educators, parents, and guardians of students to chat about their approach to the upcoming school year and to lean on one another for support and ideas! https://onlyhumanco.com/virtual/

In 2020 thus far, Only Human has donated a total of $42,500 to nonprofits alike.

About Only Human
A female and queer-owned company founded in 2016 by local Phoenician, Bree Pear, with incredible growth alongside now business partner Crissy Saint-Massey, Only Human has evolved quickly as tens of thousands of good humans around the world have rallied behind the movement on social platforms and at Only Human community cause events across the country. The organization gives 10% of its profits to a new charity each month while hosting community cause events, international give back trips, and more.

Affirmity Launches New eLearning Course to Help Organizations Manage Unconscious Bias

IRVING, Texas, Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Affirmity, a leading provider of workplace compliance and diversity and inclusion solutions working with U.S. federal contractors and a wide range of global businesses, has pooled its decades of expertise to create a new online training course to help manage unconscious bias.

With ongoing conversations on injustice and social division, Managing Unconscious Bias is a new course aimed at organizations interested in taking a proactive stance and tackling the issues faced by various social and identity groups. While acknowledging that some degree of unconscious bias is unavoidable even in the most forward-thinking businesses, the new course will help employees recognize how personal biases influence their behavior and offers strategies for managing those assumptions in their working lives.

«Organizational cultures that have seen sustained influence by unconscious bias, stereotypes and microaggressions can slowly become unhealthy, unproductive places to work,» explains Affirmity Diversity Advocate, Pamela Pujo. «We feel we have designed training that will help workers understand the issues without seeking to apportion the blame—we’ll show that though we can’t avoid our unconscious biases, we can recognize and counteract them.»

At 25 minutes in length, Managing Unconscious Bias is aimed at all employees regardless of seniority and industry and can be expanded with other essential diversity courses from Affirmity’s training catalog. The course can be configured using company branding and can be delivered using an organization’s existing learning management system (LMS) or can be hosted by Affirmity using the Instilled learning experience platform (LXP).

Affirmity’s courses are developed by a team of practicing HR professionals and experts in workplace diversity, and workplace-associated issues and law. The course’s learning objectives and chapters include:

  • Differentiating between conscious and unconscious biases and their impact in the workplace
  • Recognizing stereotypes and their associated impacts
  • Recognizing microaggressions and micro-inequities
  • Acquiring strategies to mitigate unconscious bias and microaggression in the workplace

Learners will have the opportunity to test their understanding of the material and receive a certificate of completion at the end of the course.

For more information and to register your interest, please see the course description on Affirmity.com.

About Affirmity
Affirmity, a former division of PeopleFluent, provides expert analysis, consulting, training, and software to optimize affirmative action and diversity and inclusion programs. Our team of experts delivers diversity metrics and data-driven insights to manage and mitigate risk.

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Art Scene West is pleased to announce its inaugural exhibition, Reawakening…to the Beauty of the West Coast. Celebrating the natural scenery and picturesque charm of the Pacific Northwest and California, the online exhibition presents original work by both local and international artists. Recognizing the nationwide impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Art Scene West will donate a portion of all proceeds to No Kid Hungry and host Instagram charity livestreams twice per week via the @nokidhungry direct donate button.

Launched in late February of 2020, Art Scene West is a new contemporary online art gallery that showcases well-established and emerging West Coast artists. Almost entirely virtual, the online gallery embraces the ever-changing landscape of art and the art market in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis. The gallery’s founder, originally from the Central Southwest, established his home in Southern California and describes West Coast art as a «breath of fresh air.» Art Scene West is his vision and medium to share that experience with the rest of the world.

Reawakening…to the Beauty of the West Coast runs from July 29 to September 30, 2020. The exhibition features more than 20 artists, all of whom either currently live on the West Coast or are passionate about what the West Coast has to offer. Although the featured artists vary in age, nationality, and art world experience, they all uniquely capture the spirit of the Pacific Coast and bring it to life through their chosen subject matters, media, and color palettes.

Throughout the nine-week exhibition period, Art Scene West will host a series of live events across its social media platforms, namely Instagram @artscenewest and Facebook. These virtual events will not only include studio interviews with the featured artists within the exhibition, but also outdoor demonstrations of the artist’s process and inspirations.

Reawaken and remember the beauty that surrounds us. For more information regarding Art Scene West and its inaugural exhibition contact Jan Cothran at (877) 228-0247 or jan@artscenewest.com.

CORONA, Calif., Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — TCL®, one of the world’s best-selling consumer electronics brands and leading technology companies, today announced it has partnered with THX Ltd., the world-class audio and video certification and technology company, to further immerse consumers into the world of gaming with its newest 6-Series TCL Roku TV™. Together, TCL and THX have established a new industry standard in gaming performance for big-screen TVs – THX Certified Game Mode. Showcased at the 2020 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), TCL’s 6-Series with THX Certified Game Mode delivers lightning fast response time and the most optimal viewing experience, allowing games to be enjoyed the way they were intended by the creators with rich, vibrant colors and dramatic contrast in crisp 4K HDR resolution.

Video games can provide an immersive experience, and when paired with TCL’s 6-Series featuring THX Certified Game Mode, consumers will be transported into the world of the game with superior visuals that set a new standard in big-screen gaming performance. For more than 35 years, THX has set the bar for the audio and visual fidelity of entertainment and THX Certification is a globally recognized assurance of uncompromising quality, consistency, and performance. Blending art, technology, and the dynamics of real world listening and viewing environments to ensure products reflect the artist’s true vision, THX Certified products such as the 6-Series TCL TV provide the consumer a high quality out-of-box experience.

«TCL is proud to be the first to launch televisions with a dedicated THX Certified Game Mode setting, as we’re always working toward elevating the home entertainment experience through new technology and innovations. By teaming up with pioneers like THX, who have a history in producing premium cinema-quality audio and visuals, we can ensure that our customers enjoy more by not only getting the best possible performance when watching the latest blockbusters but also now with the THX Certified Game Mode when playing their favorite video games,» said Chris Larson, Senior Vice President, TCL. «Revolutionizing big-screen gaming with THX as a partner allows TCL to continue raising the bar with new products that take your game to the next level, and we’re excited to bring this powerful TV series to market this summer.»

Using industry standards and a proprietary testing methodology, THX Certification is a process where the device undergoes more than 400 tests to ensure color, tone and images represent the content creator’s intentions with stunning picture quality. THX engineers worked closely with TCL to tune white balance, luminance, black levels, and gamma. With special attention to the included THX Game Mode, new tests were implemented that quantify fast transitions and responsiveness not required for movies.

TCL’s newest 6-Series with THX Certified Game Mode will enable gamers to enjoy more of the entertainment they love. With the new certification, users can enjoy all the benefits of an immersive and responsive gaming experience, including:

Color – Some games are intentionally brighter and more saturated than movies. THX Certified Game Mode ensures picture settings are carefully adjusted to deliver vibrant colors.

Speed – TVs with THX Certified Game Mode are required to have a refresh rate of 120 Hz or higher. More frames per second means motion will look smoother without blur.

Input Lag – TCL’s TVs have low latency to ensure the image and controllers are in sync, so players can see and react to action instantly with minimal lag. THX Certified Game Mode enables this immediacy and switches off any unnecessary video processing.

Rise Time – THX Certified Game Mode ensures low dark-to-light rise time transitions, which determines how fast the display can change from dim to bright improving fast-paced gameplay.

Clarity – Judder and smear reduction keep the picture crisp, while black frame insertion or backlight scanning can improve the look of moving objects.

Smart – TCL TVs with THX Certified Game Mode will automatically switch to THX Game Mode with compatible consoles and PCs.

«Since its founding, THX has become the quality assurance standard in delivering premium audio and visuals, and bringing this precision to TVs is a great example of how we can make content creator’s visions come to life,» said Peter Vasay, General Manager, Home Products, THX Ltd. «We are thrilled to launch the first THX Certified Game Mode TV with TCL after working closely with them to ensure the 6-Series meets our testing standards.»

TCL has long held a reputation for strong gaming performance. The current generation 6-Series has been praised for its impressive gaming performance by top gamers as well as technology media nationwide. With the addition of THX Certified Game Mode and a host of new technologies, the next-generation 6-Series will be available this summer.
