Nipton, California, now presented with new business opportunities, works with American Green to create a “Zero-Carbon” community footprint

PHOENIX, AZ, Feb. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Green, Inc. (OTC Pink: ERBB) is excited to announce that ten acres adjacent to Nipton, California, just over the Union Pacific rail line which runs from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, and all parts East, will be demonstrating the ability for a municipality to maintain a zero-carbon footprint for other, much larger cities to follow, using a reclamation operation called American GreenCrete, a company which licenses a proprietary process designed to convert dumpster trash into assorted pre-cast construction materials while generating power.  In addition, the acreage will also be home to a zero-emission power plant, a mineral processing operation, and a Spartan Trailer reconditioning facility. 

Between the new business leases the company is negotiating, utilities it is expanding, and its own participation in some of endeavors deciding to call Nipton their home, American Green’s goal will be to generate $100,000 a month in revenues by 2019. “Despite the many press reports that seem only to focus on cannabis, the Company’s focus was, is, and always will be on creating opportunities, commerce, and a sense of excitement in Nipton and the surrounding areas,” commented American Green’s president, David Gwyther. “We will continue to encourage and assist, where possible, the type of companies who are the right fit for our community, who are capable of sparking the local economy while matching the near-legendary ‘Nipton Zeitgeist,’” Mr. Gwyther concluded.

The newest tenant inside the industrial area is American GreenCrete and its venture partner GIS.  Founded and operated by Johnny Taylor, GIS will help Nipton become America’s first ‘zero output’ town.  The output of the American GreenCrete process is capable of producing myriad applications ranging from affordable housing to building products which are able to withstand extreme temperatures and pressure. “With the issuance of a US Patent in May of last year, we are now ready and able to provide the world with our paradigm-changing process of turning landfill garbage into incredible, strong precast building materials while simultaneously producing additional power for the Town of Nipton.”

Two Days of Pain Management for the Main Street Practitioner, March 10-11; mingle with faculty and attendees, learn and earn up to 12.0 AMA PRA Category 1 credits for $199

MONTCLAIR, N.J. (PRWEB) February 08, 2018

Attend PAINWeekEnd Scottsdale! View the complete agenda and register here.

Responding to the more than 800 recorded opioid-related deaths in Arizona since June, the state legislature has approved a sweeping plan to combat opioid abuse, misuse, and diversion. The vote was unanimous in both the House and Senate and quickly signed into law by Governor Doug Ducey. The bill places stringent caps on prescription quantities; limits dosage for opioid-naïve patients; and implements a mandatory e-prescription filing system for clinicians. It also calls for broader availability of the overdose-reversal agent naloxone, and provides $10,000,000 in new funding for rehabilitation. A “Good Samaritan” provision is included to encourage 911 reporting of an overdose without fear of drug related prosecution.

Commenting on the measure, PAINWeekEnd faculty member David Cosio, PhD, said “The speed and unanimity with which the state of Arizona has acted is reflective of the extraordinary regulatory environment that all pain practitioners are facing. The need for timely education on pain management alternatives and pain practice essentials has never been greater. Above all, it’s critical that we not lose sight of the most important stakeholder in the room—the patient.”

PAINWeekEnd on March 10 and 11 at the Hilton Scottsdale, 6333 North Scottsdale Road, will be an educational and exciting 2-day program providing busy clinicians and allied healthcare practitioners with 12.0 hours of relevant, practical instruction in the management of chronic pain.

Dr. Cosio continued, “Drawing on my experience as an outpatient practitioner, I’m excited to be lecturing on the patient/provider relationship that is needed to establish appropriate boundaries and to provide insights to help participants effectively deal with chronic pain presentations and substance use disorders.” Dr. Cosio is a pain psychologist in the outpatient management clinic of the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois. He will be presenting The Gentle Art of Saying No: How to Establish Appropriate Boundaries With Chronic Pain Patients, as well as Falling Down the Rabbit Hole: A Primer for Chronic Pain Management and Substance Abuse Disorders.

Commercially supported activities, addressing a range of product, disease state, and medical information topics, will also be presented. The online registration fee for this PAINWeekEnd Conference is $199. Go to painweekend.org for more information.

**BONUS**
PAINWeekEnd registrants may register for the 2018 PAINWeek National Conference, September 4-8, in Las Vegas, for $200 off the current online published price.

Washington D.C., Feb 8, 2018 / 10:58 am (CNA/EWTN News).- President Donald Trump lauded the importance of faith in American life as a foundation for freedom in his speech at the 66th annual National Prayer Breakfast this morning.

“Faith is central to American life and to liberty,” Trump began, “Our founders invoked our Creator four times in the Declaration of Independence.  Our currency declares, ‘In God We Trust.’ And we place our hands on our hearts as we recite the Pledge of Allegiance and proclaim we are ‘One Nation Under God.’”

During his remarks, the president emphasized the interconnection between freedom of religion and a flourishing society.

“When Americans are able to live by their convictions, to speak openly of their faith, and to teach their children what is right, our families thrive, our communities flourish, and our nation can achieve anything at all.”

Trump also committed America to the defense of religious freedom worldwide saying “We know that millions of people in Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, and other countries suffer under repressive and brutal regimes. America stands with all people suffering oppression and religious persecution.”

“Our rights are not given to us by man, our rights come from our creator,” Trump said to the estimated 3,000 attendees at this year’s prayer breakfast.

The president said that he has seen God’s grace in the good works of American citizens who serve their communities, such as teachers, police officers, services members, and parents.

He also commended those Americans who responded to the tragedies that befell our country in the past year, particularly those who served others suffering amid hurricanes, forest fires, the Las Vegas shooting, and the opioid epidemic.

Following President Trump’s speech, U.S. Representative Steve Scalise, who was shot during practice for the Congressional Baseball Game last June, spoke about the role of his Catholic faith in his work in politics, his prayer life, and the power of prayer in his recovery.

“When you pray for somebody that you don’t know, they feel it. I felt that prayer, the prayers of so many people that I had never met before,” said Scalise.

Scalise reiterated the president’s comments on the integral relationship between faith and liberty. “If you go to the Jefferson Memorial right now, go read this inscription from Thomas Jefferson, ‘God, who gave us life, gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?’”

Another prayer offered at this morning’s gathering came from Democratic Senator Chris Coons who prayed, "Bless the world with better leaders," he said, "Who seek your wisdom.”

The U.N. World Food Programme Executive Director, David Beasley, who prayed for sustainable policies to address world hunger, read a passage from Matthew 25, and emphasized that "every human on the face of the earth was made in [God's] image."

Republican Senator James Lankford prayed,  "We don't know everything, but we're so grateful to know the One who does.”

Today, Playersoft announced that it has doubled down on its software development efforts when it comes to mobile slot voucher redemption. As other casino manufacturers are backing out of the space, Playersoft is seeing a spike in demand for its Mobile Ticket Redemption (MTR) application.

LAS VEGAS (PRWEB) February 08, 2018

Playersoft has developed several software solutions referred to as “Killer Apps”. These apps are all designed to run natively on the Apple iOS platform and they’re well known for their dynamic ability to completely transform casino operations. The company is led by Tony de Leon, an industry veteran who’s developed technology for several major gaming operators. He and his team have a knack for taking complex problems and applying seemingly simple solutions. MTR is a prime example of these solutions. The MTR app simply allows the operator to scan a TITO voucher from anywhere on the casino floor, bringing the service to the guest instead of making them search for the best place to redeem their slot voucher. MTR is designed for operators who want to implement or maintain that high level of customer service with Mobile Ticket Redemption, but need to replace outdated systems and equipment.

“We love to solve problems and improve the experiences for both patrons and operators whenever we can”, said Tony de Leon, Playersoft’s CEO.” When it comes to redeeming slot vouchers, the opportunity to improve the process was always evident to me. Casino patrons love to be served in a personalized manner and enjoy chatting with someone about their experience as well as develop a friendship with their favorite ambassadors. This type of interaction is not possible at a kiosk. Also, the cage is not a great place for personal interactions because cashiers are too busy processing transactions behind bars which makes a meaningful conversation with the patron unlikely. Implementing a mobile cashiering strategy is the smartest thing a casino operator can do if they aspire to elevate the customer experience and differentiate themselves from their competitors.”

The Mobile Ticket Redemption app runs on the Apple iPod touch, its primary function is to scan slot machine vouchers for patrons and exchange them for cash. The app is used by casino employees who walk the casino floor looking for patrons to assist instead of forcing the patron to find a kiosk or wait in line at the cage. The app is used to provide better customer service as well as assist elderly and physically challenged patrons. What’s more, MTR is gaining traction with casino operators who are merging their player clubs with casino cage operations – now, agents who walk the floor to register new players can also redeem patron vouchers.

Tachi Palace, a Southern California Indian Casino deployed MTR and has had great success with the tool. Here some comments from Joaquin Gonzales who is their Slot Operations Manager:

“Playersoft’s Mobile Ticket Redemption system has been a great tool for our operation. MTR allows our floor ambassadors to redeem slot vouchers for cash payments from anywhere on the casino floor. This allows us to deliver superior customer service by providing face to face interactions with our slot patrons. This goes beyond the experience they would have cashing vouchers at the cage or a kiosk. It allows the ambassadors to create long lasting relationships and it makes for extremely fast transactions that are complete in just a few seconds.”

“Here are some of the features we enjoy from MTR:”·     “The app is very intuitive -- it takes very little training for a new ambassador to become productive.”
·     “The Apple iPods are lightweight and easy to carry, allowing our cashiers to move around the floor and serve more guests.”
·     “We’re able to better serve our seniors and other guests who have physical challenges – they really appreciate the quick service.”
·     “We have the option to run other Playersoft applications on the same device which adds an attractive benefit as we continue to streamline our operation.”
·     “Cashiers can scan many tickets during the same interaction. Some of our patrons will collect multiple tickets during their gaming session and it makes it easy when they can bring a stack of them to a nearby cashier for quick redemptions.”
·     “Kiosks are impersonal and cage cashiers generally don’t have the time for long conversations. With mobile ambassadors, our patrons get a high level of service and quality time to develop personal relationships.”
·     “Because of the elevated patron service, our staff members see more tokes and we see less staff turnover because of it.”
·     “Playersoft has excellent customer service and fast response time. We enjoy working with their team.”

“I highly recommend the Mobile Ticket Redemption application”, said Mr. Gonzales.

Since Cesare Mondavi’s purchase of the property in 1943, the winery has been regarded as a leader in Bordeaux-varietal wines and winemaking innovation. The family has also been committed to raising the profile for Napa Valley wines, and to a larger extent, California wines worldwide. The planned series of commemorative tastings and events reflect the extent to which the family has influenced the wine world over the past 75 years. To mark the occasion, the winery is also planning its first-ever limited release of three library vintages (1974, 1991, 2003) from its flagship Vintage Selection Cabernet series, which dates back to 1944. The wines will be sold on a limited basis and presented at various events.

Charles Krug’s reputation as a wine innovator and a leader in the Napa Valley is an integral part of the winery’s past. Under the leadership of Cesare’s son, Peter Mondavi Sr., Charles Krug was the first Napa Valley winery to use French Oak barrels and practice techniques such as cold fermentation and sterile filtration. More recently, the winery has committed to sustainability, with a focus on converting all family-owned vineyards to sustainable farming practices as well as the use of solar panels. As pioneers of many now-universal vineyard and cellar practices, Charles Krug helped shape the modern-day wine industry.

Charles Krug and the family have always seamlessly blended the traditional and the modern through their tasting room experiences and the wines themselves. “The history, legacy, experience, and wisdom that this family has are our strongest and most enduring attributes,” notes Peter Mondavi Jr., “Experience matters. At the same time, we have to be forward thinking, youthful, and willing to experiment with our methods to stay ahead of the curve.”

With over three decades of experience as co-proprietors, Marc Mondavi and his brother Peter Jr. are now looking towards the winery’s transition to the fourth generation of ownership. Angelina, Alycia, Riana and Giovanna (Marc’s children) and Lucio and Lia (Peter Jr.’s children) are all helping to shape the future of Charles Krug. Angelina, who is also a winemaker, and Lucio are both winery board members; Riana handles national restaurant chain relationships; Giovanna works in finance and together with Lia, who is completing her college education, serve as brand ambassadors in the Boston area; finally, Alycia participates in events on-site at the winery and in the neighboring communities within the Napa Valley. Marc comments on the future of the winery under the next generation’s guidance: “One of the most important things to us is continued family ownership. We think the fourth generation’s leadership will bring diversity of knowledge and experiences which will only add to the success of the winery.”

The winery will kick off its 2018 calendar with the Charleston Wine + Food Festival (March) followed by a series of other events, including Wine Spectator’s three springtime Grand Tour tastings in Washington DC, New York, and Las Vegas. The winery will also participate in Auction Napa Valley (Angelina, Alycia, Riana and Giovanna are co-Chairing the Auction this year) with a special collaborative blend by the third and fourth generations for the barrel auction.

“It’s important for us to embrace the spirit of the winery moving forward—we want to be both a leader and active contributor to winemaking and the community here,” continues Marc Mondavi. “Through our participation in Auction Napa Valley, the Napa Valley Film Festival, the Cochon Fire Heritage tour, and our partnership with the Culinary Institute of America, we are intent in solidifying our place as a cultural hub for the Napa Valley.”

For the media and trade, the winery has scheduled a series of masterclasses in Napa, New York City, and Dallas for the months of March, April, and May respectively. In each city, Peter Mondavi Jr. and other family members will present a comprehensive tasting of current and library vintages that represent pivotal moments in the winery’s history, such as the 1964, 1966 and 1974 Vintage Selection Cabernet Sauvignon, the ultimate expression of the portfolio and a tribute to the first vintage produced by the family in 1944.

Charles Krug is also set to produce a limited-release run of commemorative label 1.5L Vintage Selection magnums to celebrate the anniversary.

About Charles Krug:
In 1943, Italian immigrants Cesare and Rosa Mondavi purchased the historic Charles Krug property, the oldest winery in the Napa Valley and longest-running tasting room in California. The brand was built on a foundation of family values, hard work and a European winemaking tradition; it remains a family-owned winery today, producing estate-driven, top of the line Napa Valley wines. The wineries are under the direction of Peter Mondavi Jr. and Marc Mondavi, who steward the family business passed to them by their father, legendary Napa Valley wine icon Peter Mondavi Sr. The family is now proudly welcoming members of the fourth generation to the business, continuing a legacy started 75 years ago and setting a foundation for generations to come.
