VMware’s VMworld General Session Keynote Features Customer Digital Transformation Stories and a Conversation with Malala Yousafzai
VMware To Support Malala Fund in its Work to Advocate for Girls’ Education
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 28, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today at VMworld 2018, VMware (NYSE: VMW), a leading innovator in enterprise software, today featured COO Sanjay Poonen hosting several customers discussing their digital transformation journey. Poonen also hosted Malala Yousafzai, Pakistani activist for girls’ education, Oxford student, and the youngest person ever awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
“It was a privilege to host Malala and our customer guests on stage at VMworld 2018,” commented Sanjay Poonen, chief operating officer, Customer Operations, VMware. “I'm delighted to announce VMware will be supporting Malala Fund in their work to advocate for girls' education. VMware helps customers across every sector realize the benefits of digital transformation. Through the VMware Foundation, we also enable many nonprofits around the world to scale their impact and achieve more through their digital transformation, contributing Service Learning talent, pro bono expertise and financial resources.”
In addition to hosting Yousafzai onstage, Poonen hosted several conversations with customers about their digital transformations.

Conversations with IT leaders from the Brink’s Company and National Commercial Bank of Jamaica centered around the power of software-defined technologies in storage and networking, modern app development, as well as the best way to embrace Hybrid Cloud. Another insightful discussion was about the role of digital workspace technologies in enhancing the end-user experience, both employee and customer, which included tech leaders from DXC and Adobe.
VMware also hosted one hundred high school students from Basic High School and Legacy High School in the Clark County, Las Vegas school district to watch the conversation with Malala.

Commercial UAV Expo Is Hosting “Beyond The Cage” Demonstrations Featuring Autel, C-Astral, Intel and Topcon
Demonstrations Taking Place at Henderson Unmanned Vehicle Range on October 1st
LAS VEGAS (PRWEB) August 28, 2018
Four leading vendors including Autel Robotics, C-Astral, Intel, and Topcon Positioning Systems will demonstrate a range of drone applications including live inspections, public safety scenarios and surveying and mapping during the opening day of Commercial UAV Expo, the leading event for professionals operating UAS in key vertical industries, taking place October 1-3 at the Westgate Hotel in Las Vegas. The live demonstrations are being coordinated with the Nevada Institute of Autonomous Systems (NIAS) and Sundance Media Group, and will take place at Henderson Unmanned Vehicle Range (HUVR) on Monday, October 1st. Demonstrations will showcase not only airframe and sensor capabilities, but a sophisticated AV set up will allow users to view resulting data sets and processing solutions for the full end-to-end view of the technology solutions on display. Registration is required and includes round trip transportation and light snacks, and can be found at this link (https://xpressreg.net/register/uava1018/attendee/reginfo.asp?sc=206539).
Autel Robotics will be conducting an active shooter/barricade scenario and will show how using their UAS overwatch can be a benefit to save time and lives. Intel will conduct a tower/building inspection with their aircraft. For all of the latest information about the “Beyond the Cage” demonstrations, click here (https://www.expouav.com/outdoor-flying-demos/). There will be two sessions, one from 7:20am – 10:15am and one from 9:30am – 1:00pm, with three demonstrations each; no two will be repeated. Drone experts will be on-hand to narrate live scenarios and field questions from the audience.
“We truly believe that the audience of drone professionals we serve is ‘beyond the cage,’” said Lisa Murray, Group Director of Diversified Communications, organizer of Commercial UAV Expo. “That’s why our show floor will not feature any drone cages. The live outdoor drone demonstrations are an incredible hands-on opportunity for our attendees, and they will walk away from the experience having seen industry leading products in action and with the ability to review the data sets that result from the demonstrations.”
Registration is required for Beyond the Cage. Each session is a $50 add-on to the regular registration. Attending both sessions is $100. Space is limited, and this opportunity will sell out. Sign up for these sessions during registration at https://xpressreg.net/register/uava1018/attendee/reginfo.asp?sc=206539.

Aladtec Team Offers Demonstrations at American Ambulance Association’s Annual Conference and Exposition
EMS leaders will gather Sept. 6-8 to learn, network and visit trade show at the MGM Grand
LAS VEGAS (PRWEB) August 29, 2018
Leaders and decision-makers from public and private ambulance services across the nation will gather in Las Vegas soon to learn about the latest trends and review products and services to help them improve performance.
Representatives Matt Zinnel and David Snyder from Aladtec will be on-hand to meet with customers and demonstrate the firm's online employee scheduling and workforce management software. Visit them at Booth #508 to see how Aladtec's easy-to-use platform enables hundreds of EMS agencies across North America put scheduling tools, e-forms, and instant communication as close as members' smartphones.
Aladtec works well for all agencies, whether scheduling involves a few full-time and on-call volunteers, or hundreds of career paramedics.
“Folks like that they can get on their phone, check to see who’s scheduled that day, what the next shift that’s coming up, what the monthly schedule is looking like, and how easy it is for them to perform a trade or a giveaway," said David Flaherty, Operations Chief with Great Falls (MT) EMS. He uses Aladtec to schedule and communicate with 55 people. "It used to be a lot more complicated with paper and e-mails, and someone would have to sign-off with wet ink."
Beyond scheduling tools, Aladtec provides a member database, document storage, a member discussion area, an optional timeclock kiosk, extensive reporting, and ability to create customizable reports that can be submitted, reviewed, and archived within the Aladtec system. The functionality permits access anytime, saving customers money, reducing error, and providing accountability.
Aladtec's first customer was a rural ambulance service in Wisconsin. The firm's secure, cloud-based software is now used by more than 2,100 EMS, fire, law enforcement, and dispatch agencies.
Along with the trade exposition at AAA, attendees will hear a variety of presenters cover topics such as key performance indicators to drive cash-flow, how to improve management performance, and a review of strategies to help EMS personnel recover from events like the Oct. 1, 2017, mass shooting in Las Vegas.
The American Ambulance Association was formed 39 years ago to advocate improvements in medical transportation and emergency medical services. AAA represents hundreds of ambulance services that provide emergent and nonemergency care and medical transportation. The group serves as a voice and clearinghouse for ambulance services and views prehospital care as a public service and an essential part of the total public health care system.
Aladtec staff will meet with many customers while at the AAA Conference and Trade Show. A System Specialist will be on hand to answer any customer questions and help them optimize their system in person. Booth visitors will see first-hand how Aladtec can improve their service and they’ll be invited to sign up for a free 14-day “try-it” demo, or they can choose a customized demo configured to their organization's specific needs.
"I looked at a handful of online scheduling programs including (two competitors) and found Aladtec to be my favorite and cost far less than the others," said Chief Don Harnisch, Nekoosa (WI) Ambulance Service.

American Premium Water Corp. (HIPH) Starts Process To Retire 6 million Common Shares
Company’s CBD product launch successful; first day sales exceeded internal projections
PLAYA VISTA, Calif., Aug. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Premium Water Corporation (OTC Pink: HIPH) (the “Company”) announces that it has initially identified 6 Million common shares, and has begun the process to have the first retirement of shares returned to treasury. The Company will advise when this process is complete. Additionally, the first day of sales from the Company’s launch of its LALPINA Hydro CBD product surpassed internal projections.Ryan Fishoff, CEO American Premium Water Corporation commented: “In effort to further increase shareholder value, the Company, after an exhaustive review, has identified 6 Million common shares that can be retired, and has initiated the process for retirement. We will have updates on this matter when this is completed. Taking these steps along with other developments over the past few weeks, are part of the management’s strategy to reduce debt, increase sales, diversify the Company’s businesses, and most importantly, see the increase of long term shareholder value.”
“As we look to building long term value, a key component of that strategy is entering the CBD space. The sales from the initial launch of the LALPINA CBD product have greatly exceeded our internal projections. What made the results even more encouraging was that it was on our old platform (the new site has not even launched yet) and there was not a dollar of SEO, SEM, or social media advertising spent. As the rollout continues and we begin the marketing support to the program, the Lalpina site should generate between $20,000-30,000 in monthly revenue in addition to wholesale orders.” added Mr. Fishoff.
In addition to the launch of LALPINA Hydro CBD, the Company is exploring expansion into other CBD categories. During a 10-day trip through Chicago, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, Mr. Fishoff and management met with suppliers, distributors, and acquisition candidates in the CBD space. Additionally, as part of the Company’s efforts to become more transparent, Mr. Fishoff initiated discussions with auditors to file a Form 10 and become fully reporting.
“I had a very successful trip. There are a lot of exciting things going on in the immediate future. The consumer market’s appetite for CBD is increasingly growing. As we rollout LALPINA Hydro CBD, there are many other product categories that can incorporate CBD. I see topicals as the logical next step for us. Knowing how the Company and management want to grow, I think it's prudent for the Company to begin the process to file a Form 10 and begin the uplisting process. This will help the Company execute its growth plan quicker. I am hopeful that this could be accomplished by the end of the fiscal year. I hope to have updates on both these matters in the coming weeks and months.

PLAYA VISTA, Calif., Aug. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Premium Water Corporation (OTC Pink: HIPH) (the “Company”) announces that it has initially identified 6 Million common shares, and has begun the process to have the first retirement of shares returned to treasury. The Company will advise when this process is complete. Additionally, the first day of sales from the Company’s launch of its LALPINA Hydro CBD product surpassed internal projections.Ryan Fishoff, CEO American Premium Water Corporation commented: “In effort to further increase shareholder value, the Company, after an exhaustive review, has identified 6 Million common shares that can be retired, and has initiated the process for retirement. We will have updates on this matter when this is completed. Taking these steps along with other developments over the past few weeks, are part of the management’s strategy to reduce debt, increase sales, diversify the Company’s businesses, and most importantly, see the increase of long term shareholder value.”
“As we look to building long term value, a key component of that strategy is entering the CBD space. The sales from the initial launch of the LALPINA CBD product have greatly exceeded our internal projections. What made the results even more encouraging was that it was on our old platform (the new site has not even launched yet) and there was not a dollar of SEO, SEM, or social media advertising spent. As the rollout continues and we begin the marketing support to the program, the Lalpina site should generate between $20,000-30,000 in monthly revenue in addition to wholesale orders.” added Mr. Fishoff.
In addition to the launch of LALPINA Hydro CBD, the Company is exploring expansion into other CBD categories. During a 10-day trip through Chicago, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, Mr. Fishoff and management met with suppliers, distributors, and acquisition candidates in the CBD space. Additionally, as part of the Company’s efforts to become more transparent, Mr. Fishoff initiated discussions with auditors to file a Form 10 and become fully reporting.
“I had a very successful trip. There are a lot of exciting things going on in the immediate future. The consumer market’s appetite for CBD is increasingly growing. As we rollout LALPINA Hydro CBD, there are many other product categories that can incorporate CBD. I see topicals as the logical next step for us. Knowing how the Company and management want to grow, I think it's prudent for the Company to begin the process to file a Form 10 and begin the uplisting process.

Human Capital Management Institute Adds Artificial Intelligence to Super-Charge SOLVE™ Workforce Analytics and Planning Software
More than 1,000 predictive machine learning algorithms and natural language processing enable SOLVE™ to rapidly identify and report actionable insights that help organizations achieve key business outcomes.
MARINA DEL RAY, Calif. (PRWEB) August 29, 2018
The Human Capital Management Institute, a pioneer in the financial measurement of human capital ROI, has added major artificial intelligence capabilities to SOLVE--its workforce analytics and planning software that uniquely links people investments to key business outcomes.
More than 1,000 predictive machine learning algorithms and natural language processing now enable the software to much more rapidly find and report actionable insights to employers. SOLVE™ integrates and analyzes sets of HR, financial and operational data, and applies 620 standardized human capital metrics to identify key drivers of productivity, costs, turnover, retention, engagement, leadership, and performance for an organization.
For a given organization, it can answer business leaders' most pressing workforce questions, such as:
1) Which people investments provide the greatest ROI and value for the organization?
2) Can the organization reduce its workforce cost structure and still be a leading performer?
3) How does the organization's workforce performance link to customer satisfaction, revenue and profits?
4) How is the organization's workforce productivity trending versus its peers?
5) What are the workforce risks that could impact the organization's competitive advantage?
"While other workforce analytics solutions focus on HR outcomes alone, SOLVE™ links HR outcomes to business results to enable smarter workforce spending by telling you where to invest, where to cut, and whom to hire," HCMI President Steven Maxwell said. "The new artificial intelligence super-charges the software, enabling it to give more actionable insights in less time, which generates more value for employers."
Other benefits for employers include:· Lower the workforce cost structure as much as 10% or more
· Measure and predict changes in workforce value and risk for board governance and reporting
· Provide business-critical workforce performance measures vs. KPIs and benchmarks
· Improve the financial linkage between strategic business planning and strategic workforce planning
· Increase retention and reduce the cost of turnover
· Improve quality of hire while reducing the cost of hire
· Develop a stronger leadership bench
HCMI will be exhibiting at the HR Technology Conference, Sept. 11-14 in Las Vegas. Attendees can visit Booth 111 to get a demo of SOLVE™.

Using the latest model of Tanita's body composition scale, along with wearable activity trackers equipped with communications functionality, blood pressure measurement devices, and the internet, this program offers everything organizations need to establish an effective and comprehensive group health promotion program. The program is already being deployed by such organizations as local governments, companies, and health insurance associations, primarily in Japan.
Available throughout the US, the program is designed to raise the motivation of participants to improve their health and enjoy tracking their progress. Program participants carry an activity monitor that counts steps and measures calories burned, measuring a wide variety of data. This data is stored in the cloud, along with data measured with Tanita devices, such as its body composition scales and blood pressure measurement devices. Using this data, participants not only gain visibility into changes in their bodies and their activity levels, they can also graph trends using their PCs or smartphones. In addition, users can change the faceplate design of the activity monitors to an original design, and the program offers features such as a step count ranking, so that participants can virtually compete through their step counts each month, and a point program that awards points to participants based on factors such as their step counts, which can then be exchanged for gifts or other incentives.
The program has attracted attention for its effectiveness in reducing healthcare costs, including being mentioned in a white paper from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, and has also received an award for excellence from the ministry in its Smart Life Project Awards.
In 1992, Tanita developed the world's first body scale that measures both body weight and composition. Thereafter, Tanita released various other tools to measure things like basal metabolic rate, total weight and lean body mass. Additionally, in 2003, Tanita released its first connected scale, called the "NT-101," positioning the company as a global pioneer. Subsequently, Tanita went on to also launch its support network called "Health Planet" that connects the NT-101 with sphygmomanometers and pedometers. These, in turn, forward health data to personal computers for easy analysis. The health management services that utilize the connected scale have since been upgraded into the "Tanita Health Program."
Tanita had already developed Tanita Body Composition Element, a smartphone application that converts body composition information into 3D elements, based on visualizations of atoms, presenting them in an impactful way. This app was exhibited in 2017 and 2018 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the world's largest consumer electronics exhibition, held in Las Vegas. The launch of the Tanita Health Program is an extension of these efforts in the US, with Tanita embarking on a full-scale expansion in the US due to the significant response to its body composition measurement technology at CES. This program is a service offered through Tanita's US subsidiary, Tanita Corporation of America, Inc.
*About Tanita*
Tanita is a Japanese health measurement device manufacturer established in 1944. As a pioneer in body composition measurement, Tanita has been a leader in the worldwide health measurement device market since developing and launching the world's first body fat scale that could measure body fat just by stepping on it in 1992, followed by achievements such as launching the world's first body fat scale with the ability to measure visceral fat in 2001, and launching the world's first body composition scale that could measure body fat by location in 2004. In addition, Tanita's highly accurate body composition measurement technology has become a standard in the healthcare and research fields. Since 1991, over 200 papers using Tanita's body fat and body composition scales have been presented at various academic conferences. These various research results are even now being fed back into product development, and Tanita has collected over 14,000 points of biometric data, which forms the foundation of Tanita's analysis algorithm, with the goal of further improving accuracy. At the same time, Tanita led the world in launching activity monitors, which are currently becoming common as wearable devices, aimed at the general public in 2009. With Tanita's unique analysis algorithm, the company's devices produce highly accurate measurements of energy consumption, with a correlation coefficient of 0.907 with the results produced by human calorimeters, the gold standard in energy consumption measurement.
