ROCKWOOL™ expands Comfortbatt® and AFB® product offerings

BYHALIA, Miss., Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ – Contractors, designers and installers now have new, innovative, and expanded options when it comes to insulation for thermal and sound applications. With codes and climate zones varying throughout the U.S., ROCKWOOL™ now has a thermal batt option for every area from the north to the south and coast to coast.

ROCKWOOL, North America’s largest stone wool manufacturer, has extended its Comfortbatt™ line with products available in several new R-values—R13/R21/R38, designed to provide customers with more options. In addition, ROCKWOOL has released AFB® for wood stud applications—an acoustical fire batt that is now available in new dimensions designed for wood stud cavities.

Comfortbatt® R13/R21/R38: Using Comfortbatt® within the building envelope can contribute to a robust thermal insulation solution that meets the variety of code requirements that exist across the United States. Comfortbatt® is a semi-rigid stone wool batt insulation for exterior wood and steel stud applications in both new construction and renovations. ROCKWOOL now offers Comfortbatt® in R13/R15/R21/R23/R30/R38. No matter what R-value or climate zone you are in, there is a Comfortbatt® solution for your project.

Comfortbatt® features a unique flexible edge designed to aid installation. Simply compress the flexible edge as the batt is inserted and release. The flexible edge is designed to spring back, expanding the batt against the stud cavity to give a complete fill. This flexibility ensures the expected R-value is achieved and maintained.

AFB® for wood stud applications is a lightweight, acoustical fire batt stone wool insulation specifically designed for wood stud interior wall and floor applications. Its superior sound absorbency and fire protection contribute to the overall comfort and safety of occupants. It provides increased insulation density that reduces sound transmission. Traditionally, AFB® was designed for steel stud applications only. Today, we are pleased to introduce several new sizes designed for wood stud applications.

«In the US, codes and standards are constantly evolving,» says Garrett Feehrer, Marketing Manager USA at ROCKWOOL. «With our new ROCKWOOL Comfortbatt® range, ROCKWOOL now offers a solution for every climate zone and every application. Our customers are looking for products that make their jobs easier, and this extension of our existing Comfortbatt® line addresses that.

«In regard to AFB®, wood construction is certainly a growing trend in the built environment, and AFB® has been a trusted acoustical fire batt in steel stud applications for many years. We wanted to bring those same steel stud benefits to the new wood application market, this product allows us to do just that.»

Like all ROCKWOOL stone wool products, Comfortbatt® and AFB® are non-combustible and resist temperatures up to 2,150˚F. They provide excellent sound absorption due to their density and non-directional fiber structure and are uniquely durable against all forms of weather (vapor permeable, water repellent, high drying potential). ROCKWOOL stone wool products, including Comfortbatt® and AFB® are manufactured using sustainable materials, like basalt rock (an abundant natural resource) and recycled steel slag.

About ROCKWOOL

With five manufacturing facilities and over 1,000 employees, ROCKWOOL is North America’s largest stone wool producer, offering advanced building insulation, industrial and technical solutions.

At the ROCKWOOL Group, we are committed to enriching the lives of everyone who experiences our solutions. Our expertise is perfectly suited to tackling many of today’s biggest sustainability and development challenges, from energy consumption and noise pollution to fire resilience, water scarcity and flooding. Our range of products reflects the diversity of the world’s needs, supporting our stakeholders in reducing their own carbon footprint along the way.

Stone wool is a versatile material and forms the basis for all our businesses. With more than 11,700 passionate colleagues in 39 countries, we are the world leader in stone wool solutions, from building insulation to acoustic ceilings, external cladding systems to horticultural solutions, engineered fibers for industrial use to insulation for the process industry, marine and offshore.

The Inclusive Ownership program, first announced in February, is an initiative to increase representation of minority, women, LGBTQ+ and veteran entrepreneurs in the real estate industry. Each new brokerage that affiliates with Coldwell Banker will not pay the initial franchise fee and will receive financial incentives to support diverse business owners in the critical first two years of business. Benefits include up to $100,000 of funding, royalty fee rebates as well as education and mentorship. Owners will also receive membership and conference registration for an industry partner group of choice, such as the National Association of Real Estate Brokers, the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals and the Asian Real Estate Association of America.

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.

It sets us up for success as a woman-owned business that values diversity and we look forward to many years ahead of serving the Grand Island community. I’m excited to work with the bright, supportive team at Coldwell Banker.»

–Amber Schuppan, broker-owner of Coldwell Banker Action Holdings

I’m excited to pursue this great opportunity and launch this new endeavor as a woman-owned commercial real estate brokerage.»

–Becky McBride, broker-owner of Coldwell Banker Commercial Northland

American Fruit Grower® Announces 2020 Winner – Robert Black Receives Apple Grower of the Year Award

WILLOUGHBY, Ohio, Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Robert Black, Co-Owner of Catoctin Mountain Orchard in Thurmont, MD, has been named the 2020 Apple Grower of the YearSM by American Fruit Grower® and Western Fruit Grower® magazines, published by Meister Media Worldwide.

Black, the 32nd recipient of the award, which began in 1989, will be honored Aug. 20 during a virtual edition of the annual USApple Outlook and Marketing…

Black, the 32nd recipient of the award, which began in 1989, will be honored Aug. 20 during a virtual edition of the annual USApple Outlook and Marketing Conference.

«I’m amazed and shocked that I have won this award and appreciate being among my peers who have gone before me,» Black, who shares co-ownership with his sister, Patricia, said. «This is absolutely an amazing thing to have happen to my family. My sister has always been the one to stay home to keep the home fires burning and allow me to travel. She certainly has been a great partner in this operation.»

David Eddy, the Editor of American Fruit Grower and Western Fruit Grower magazines and a member of the award selection committee, said the public nomination process spoke well of Black’s stature within the industry.

«I’ll never forget the day I called Bob to tell him he had won the award. Because he’s such a humble man, at first he actually insisted we must have made a mistake,» Eddy said. «It just reinforced what I had already read in the many enthusiastic nominations we received endorsing Bob, from university researchers — in multiple states, no less — to numerous fellow growers. Bob is definitely a popular winner.»

Sponsored by Valent USA, the Apple Grower of the Year program honors individuals who have gone beyond the confines of the orchard and, through their involvement and leadership, have made genuine impacts on the apple industry.

«Bob demonstrates a willingness to listen and an openness to change that all come together as his personal recipe for success,» Dion McBay, Vice President of Sales with Valent USA, said. «Bob is a clear advocate for sustainable agriculture and has made investments and improvement in irrigation technology, integrated pest management, and the use of biological and biorational tools. Beyond his commitment to sustainable agriculture and his operational improvements, Bob is a relentless advocate for Maryland agriculture and a proud participant in the U.S. apple industry.»

Black represents the second Maryland farming operation to win the award, following Evan Milburn and his late son Nathan, of Milburn Orchards, who were honored in 2008. He is highly regarded for displaying leadership on the state and regional levels.

«Bob Black has been a staple in the Mid-Atlantic fruit-growing region for decades,» Mark Boyer, the Co-Owner of Ridgetop Orchards in Fishertown, PA, said. «He has served on almost every board position available both in fruits and vegetables to social and community. Always the first to help and the last to complain.»

Black has excelled in the areas of commercial planting and direct marketing and has served on the boards of the International Fruit Tree Association and Maryland State Horticultural Society. He is a member of the Midwest Apple Improvement Association (MAIA), which was founded by growers to produce varieties for its membership.

«I don’t know any other grower who has more variety trials in progress,» Brad Hollabaugh, the Apple Grower of the Year winner in 2000, representing Hollabaugh Bros., said. «Bob is also always willing to share tricks, techniques, and the results of his many production endeavors. Equally, he’s an avid listener to other growers, always looking for ways to improve his operation.»

USApple President and CEO Jim Bair credited Black for devoting his career to making a meaningful impact on the apple industry.

«When he is not working on groundbreaking innovations in his orchards, he is helping and championing other growers,» Bair said. «From his past leadership on USApple’s board to his ongoing commitment to represent Maryland every year during our Capitol Hill Day, he is always at the ready to advocate for the industry. We congratulate Bob for this much-deserved honor.»

About The Award: The Apple Grower of the YearSM Award is presented annually by American Fruit Grower® and Western Fruit Grower® magazines and honors apple growers who have gone beyond the confines of the orchard and have, through their involvement and leadership, made a real impact on the apple industry.

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.»

Gregerson notes that the UN Climate Conference that was originally scheduled for

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.»

miR Scientific elegida finalista en los Premios a la Innovación de Fierce – Ciencias Biológicas, edición 2020

NUEVA YORK, 3 de agosto de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — miR Scientific LLC, una compañía de biociencias de precisión comprometida en la transformación de tratamientos contra el cáncer, anunció hoy que ha sido elegida finalista en los Fierce Innovation Awards – Life Sciences Edition 2020 (Premios a la Innovación de Fierce, Ciencias Biológicas, edición 2020, un programa de premios de la editorial de Fierce Biotech y Fierce Pharma, evaluados por expertos externos. miR Scientific fue reconocida como Finalista en la categoría de Innovación en Dispositivos Médicos por su revolucionaria prueba de biopsia líquida en orina que puede detectar y calificar, con precisión, el cáncer de próstata de manera no invasiva.

El concurso destaca a las empresas que demuestran innovación en soluciones, tecnologías y servicios en materia de ciencias biológicas con el potencial de lograr grandes impactos.

Sentinel, la prueba para evaluación de próstata de miR, resuelve un problema grave de la vida real que involucra el tratamiento del cáncer de próstata, una enfermedad que representa la mayor cantidad de nuevos casos de cáncer diagnosticados cada año y que es la segunda causa de muerte por cáncer entre hombres en EE. UU.

El estándar actual de atención médica para el diagnóstico de cáncer de próstata se basa en análisis de sangre inexactos del antígeno prostático específico (PSA) con punciones biópsicas con agujas gruesas, muy invasivas, de alto riesgo y costosas, que, en general, son innecesarias. Los actuales estándares son utilizados por menos de la mitad de la población masculina de EE. UU. elegible por edad, lo que agrava todavía más la inequidad en materia de salud y la oportunidad para identificar tipos de cáncer peligrosos anticipadamente para permitir mejores resultados.

La innovadora prueba Sentinel para próstata desarrollada por miR Scientific no es invasiva y puede, con una precisión de más del 90%, detectar el cáncer de próstata y clasificar la categoría de riesgo de tumores malignos con una sola muestra de orina y sin necesidad de biopsias invasivas.

Las solicitudes del programa de premios fueron revisadas por un panel exclusivo de ejecutivos de las principales empresas biotecnológicas y farmacéuticas: Astellas, Accenture, AstraZeneca, Angiocrine Bioscience, Biotech Research Group, NIHR Clinical Research Network, Medidata Solutions y PPD. Todas las solicitudes fueron evaluadas sobre la base de los siguientes criterios: efectividad, innovación técnica, ventaja competitiva, impacto financiero y verdadera innovación. Se puede encontrar la lista completa de los jueces en https://fiercelifesciencesawards.secure-platform.com/a/page/judges

Los ganadores se anunciarán en el Informe de Innovación 2020 que será publicado por Fierce Life Sciences el 14 de septiembre de 2020.

«Nos sentimos honrados por la decisión del comité de premios al seleccionar a miR Scientific como Finalista para los Premios a la Innovación Fierce – Edición de Ciencias Biológicas, edición 2020», dijo Sam Salman, presidente y CEO de miR Scientific. «Sentinel, la prueba de miR para evaluación de próstata, potencia una plataforma integral para el tratamiento de enfermedades que es precisa, no invasiva, independiente y escalable. Como resultado, nuestra plataforma proporciona respuestas claras y evaluables a las preguntas más apremiantes que están en la mente de todo paciente y profesional: ¿Hay presencia de cáncer? En ese caso, ¿cuán grave es y qué se hace luego? Nuestra tecnología puede dar respuestas rápidas y precisas para todas estas preguntas con una simple muestra de orina, lo que debería potenciar un compromiso mucho más amplio con todos los hombres elegibles, incluso las decenas de millones de hombres que actualmente no están recibiendo los excelentes beneficios que representa una detección temprana. Ayudados por nuestro compromiso proactivo con las comunidades de urología y oncología, hemos desarrollado una tecnología innovadora que, confiamos, nos permitirá cambiar para siempre el estándar de atención del cáncer urológico». El señor Salman añadió que «miR Scientific es una organización que busca generar impacto, y creemos que esta tecnología está lista para mejorar las vidas de millones de hombres en todo el mundo. La concienciación y el reconocimiento son los primeros pasos en el largo camino hacia la amplia adopción de tecnologías innovadoras, por lo que estamos agradecidos al comité de premios por habernos elegido como finalistas para el prestigioso Premio a la Innovación Fierce – Edición de Ciencias Biológicas, edición 2020».

Se espera que la prueba Sentinel de miR esté disponible comercialmente en los Estados Unidos a fines de este año y en determinados mercados en Europa y Asia a partir del año 2021.

Acerca de miR Scientific: miR Scientific, LLC es una compañía de biociencias de precisión que se ha comprometido a transformar el tratamiento del cáncer a nivel global. La Compañía ha desarrollado una plataforma propietaria, no invasiva para el efectivo tratamiento del cáncer urológico. La plataforma trabaja con la prueba Sentinel de miR para la evaluación de próstata, una prueba de biopsia líquida en orina que puede detectar, clasificar y monitorear, con precisión, el cáncer de próstata basado en el análisis de ARN pequeños no codificantes tomados de los exosomas urinarios. miR Scientific es la única compañía que cuenta con los productos y servicios interoperables necesarios para revolucionar los estándares de atención que dan soporte a la oncología urológica. Dichos nuevos estándares son muy necesarios dada la prevalencia debilitante y la carga de morbilidad del cáncer de próstata y vejiga en todo el mundo.
