Ophthalmic Instruments, Inc. Expands Southwest Region with the Addition of Territory Manager for Las Vegas
Ophthalmic Industry Executive Tyler Brown to Provide Dedicated Support for Las Vegas
IRVINE, Calif. (PRWEB) December 19, 2018
Ophthalmic Instruments, Inc., a leading distributor of quality ophthalmic instruments, today announced the expansion of the Southwest region with the addition of Territory Manager, Tyler Brown in Las Vegas. Brown, a fourth-generation optician, will provide dedicated support for Las Vegas, third in the nation for projected growth according to the Las Vegas Sun.
Mr. Brown has spent over ten years in the ophthalmic industry, serving both as an optician as well as providing sales, service, training and support to the ophthalmic industry. He comes from a family of opticians that started in Hawaii and expanded into the Las Vegas area.
Although Ophthalmic Instruments, Inc. is already the most well equipped distributor to handle Las Vegas with four West Coast warehouses/service centers, the company felt it necessary to provide its Las Vegas customers with exceptional support and an even better experience. That prompted the company to invest more in this city by adding a representative that lives in the Las Vegas community.
“Being the best we can be has always been more important to Ophthalmic Instruments, Inc. than just simply being better than the competition. So our decision to bolster our support in Las Vegas was a logical step, given the growth of this city and the growing number of optometrists and ophthalmologists,” said Scott Shone, president of Ophthalmic Instruments. “With Tyler being a fourth-generation optician, he understands first-hand what these doctors need to make their practice more efficient and profitable, and the best products available for servicing their client needs and providing them with the best patient care.”
About Ophthalmic Instruments, Inc.
Family owned and operated since 1977, Ophthalmic Instruments is the premier distributor of a comprehensive line of quality ophthalmic products, including Topcon, Haag-Streit, Reliance, Marco, Reichert and others, that are professionally installed and maintained with a personal touch. Founded on the simple principles of professionalism, honesty and integrity, the company prides itself in the retention of customers, repeat business and enthusiastic referrals from physicians, hospitals and clinics for over 40 years.
With four physical locations strategically located in California, Arizona and Colorado, Ophthalmic Instruments provides its customers with professionally trained sales and field service representatives in eight states, including California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Hawaii, New Mexico and Wyoming. These experienced representatives maintain frequent contact with the customers in their regions and bring problem solving skills and relevant information to the customers served.

Climate change and the effect humankind has on the environment is currently ranked as one of the most serious global issues among people aged 18 to 35. In research carried out 78.1% of this age group stated that they are willing to change their lifestyles to protect the environment.
Until now, environmental information has not been made readily available to consumers in any kind of relevant or meaningful way. In a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change, research found that placing carbon footprint labels on food packaging effectively drives people to buy less carbon-intense ingredients. By combining the latest technological advances in smart labeling, blockchain, artificial intelligence, and carbon impact data, it is now possible to integrate into the consumers’ shopping experience, allowing everyone to participate in saving our planet.
The network has developed a unique carbon data gathering methodology. This enables the company to compile a powerful data-driven engine that will deliver comprehensive and globally relevant on-demand carbon impact calculations at the item level. These combined functionalities will create the first ever ‘Internet of Carbon’ for retail, designating an impact value on every item in the store.
Transparency is the key feature of the SRL Network. The technology enables shoppers to quickly and easily discover critical information about products they purchase with a simple tap of their smartphones—without an app. From ingredients and allergens to sustainability and nutritional information, the SRL Network empowers shoppers with the knowledge they need to make the right purchase decision for themselves, their families and the environment. The new feature empowers shoppers to use the unique methodology to consider smart carbon decisions.
“Integrating environmental impact data into consumers’ purchasing experience is an exciting and important step towards us all taking responsibility for our environmental impacts” said Russell Young, Head of Operations for Ecoingot. “This partnership gives us the opportunity to provide shoppers with the information they need, exactly where and when they need it”.
The SRL Network will launch with national retailers and leading consumer goods brands in January to accelerate consumer adoption.
“Leading US Corporation CEOs like Walmart's Doug McMillon, Microsoft's Satya Nadella, and P&G's David Taylor, are making big and bold public commitments to carbon reductions for their companies. The SRL Network intends to empower the hundreds of millions of individual customers and employees of these visionary leaders to join in reducing the global carbon impact. Using the SRL Individual Carbon Exchange each one of us can now do our part to offset our individual carbon impact while grocery shopping each week. Strong individuals, like Greta Thunberg from Sweden, globally united in a common cause and aligned with good corporate leaders can be the catalyst for the positive environmental impact that the world's governments have been unable to achieve,” said John White, CEO of Compass Marketing. “The single most important challenge in the history of the world is upon us. Together, we can all make a difference.”

The international EnOcean wireless standard (ISO/IEC 14543-3-1X) is also an essential element of the “Ready2Services” initiative launched by the French Smart Building Alliance (SBA) in June 2018 to support the development of intelligent buildings for smart cities. The “Ready2Services” concept aims to evaluate the ability of buildings for multiple services, awarding buildings with a certain certification level. Self-powered wireless sensor solutions are a key component of this initiative.
*Perfect fit with energy-saving building automation systems*
“The key advantages of wireless control are the ease of upgrading existing buildings and expanding a system at any time. Wireless control systems can even provide greater installation flexibility if units within the system do not require dedicated cabling or batteries for power. Energy harvesting wireless sensors, switches and controls therefore perfectly fit in with the sustainable characteristics of energy-saving building automation systems. This makes EnOcean the most important wireless standard for maintenance-free applications for building automation and the IoT,” says Graham Martin, CEO and Chairman of the EnOcean Alliance.
*The EnOcean standard in practice*
Visitors to CES can learn more about the EnOcean Alliance’s maintenance free wireless standard for smart buildings as well as examples of self-powered IoT solutions at its partner booth (Sands #40955).

Security Devices International Issues Progress Update on Byrna™ HD Development Timeline and New 2019 Commercial Launch Initiatives
SDI Begins Validation Testing and Announces Three New Colors for the Byrna HD
Byrna HD Consumer Rollout to Commence at the Start of Speedweek at the Daytona 500 on February 9, 2019
WAKEFIELD, Mass., Dec. 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Security Devices International Inc. (“SDI”) (CSE: SDZ) (OTCQB: SDEV), an emerging non-lethal technology company, has issued a progress update on the Byrna™ HD non-lethal personal security device development timeline and new 2019 commercial launch initiatives.
SDI has conducted development testing using 3D printed prototypes and recently began the process of validation testing of the Byrna HD using production parts. Development testing has led to modifications which will enhance the performance and life of the personal security device. Additionally, SDI has decided to offer the Byrna in three more colors: black, desert tan and camouflage in addition to the original safety orange.
The final phase of validation testing that commenced in December 2018 requires factory production parts and factory production models. Due to the upcoming holiday calendar, a key supplier advised the company that several custom part deliveries expected in December 2018 will not be available until January 2019, pushing back the final validation testing phase by several weeks.
The company is planning the commercial launch of the Byrna HD to coincide with the beginning of Speedweek in Daytona Beach, Florida under its previously announced partnership with Rick Ware Racing in the NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series. Approximately 200,000 race fans are expected to attend Speedweek to experience the Super Bowl of stock car racing, the Daytona 500. SDI and Byrna will be sponsors of the #51 Rick Ware Racing Ford driven by Cody Ware. Attendees during Speedweek on February 9-17, 2019 will have a chance to meet with the driver, Cody Ware, and Team Owner, Rick Ware, and see the new paint scheme for the Byrna Ford. Special introductory pricing will be offered to race fans who purchase a Byrna HD at the SDI sponsored booth during Speedweek.
“We believe the completion of validation testing is paramount to our commercial rollout, ensuring top quality, performance and safety on a global scale,” stated Bryan Ganz, President of SDI. “Initial indications of interest are extremely encouraging. As we look into 2019, the formal launch of our Byrna HD will be at the Daytona 500 in February and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be working with the entire team at Rick Ware Racing. We expect to have a robust press release schedule in the new year as we will launch our new e-Commerce store and fulfill our 3,000-unit purchase order in South Africa,” concluded Ganz.

*About the Byrna™ HD Personal Security Device
*The Byrna™ HD is a disruptive new non-lethal device aimed at the home defense and personal security markets. Its small size (similar to popular lethal handguns on the market today), ease of obtaining, ease of carry, effectiveness in deterring or stopping an intruder and accessible price point (under $300) should be appealing to individuals who want protection, but either don't want the hassle of obtaining a gun license or don't want the risk of having a hand gun in their home, as well as to gun enthusiasts who appreciate a precision piece of equipment and want something in their collection that is both effective and non-lethal.
The Byrna™ HD comes with multiple easily reloadable magazines that can hold .68 caliber training rounds, impact rounds or highly effective payload rounds designed to burn an assailant’s eyes and respiratory system upon contact. It will also be able to hold inert rounds and impact rounds that can be used for training. Accurate up to 60 feet, the Byrna™ HD is fitted with a picatinny rail that allows owners to mount either a laser sight or flash light making it easy for novices to fire it accurately. The Byrna™ HD is ideal for today’s homeowners, boaters, truckers, outdoor enthusiasts and gun enthusiasts around the world. For more information on the Byrna™, please click here.
The Byrna HD is not a “firearm” under federal law and does not require a federal gun license. State laws and local ordinances may regulate its possession, use, and carry in certain localities. More information on these types of regulations will be available on our website before the launch.
*Forward Looking Statement
*This news release includes certain “forward looking statements” reflecting management’s current expectations of future events including, without limitation, those about the anticipated production, delivery, effectiveness, legality, performance, sales, and marketing of the Byrna™ HD, and the anticipated market response. These statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ from current expectations. Risks and uncertainties include without limitation: design flaws uncovered during testing; production problems that cause manufacturing or shipping delays, quality problems, or cost overruns; the Company’s dependence in part or in whole on the performance of third parties including those located outside the United States in connection with sourcing of components, distribution and resale, and logistic and assembly services; the dependency of the Company on proprietary and other intellectual property, which may not be available to the Company on commercially reasonable terms or at all; the impact of unfavorable legal proceedings, including intellectual property disputes; the impact of state and local laws and regulation or changes to laws and regulations including licensing, registration, and certification laws related to sale, possession or use of Byrna products or pepper-based defense products; the ability of the Company to manage risks associated with its activities at a manageable cost, including complying with applicable laws and regulations, and renewing and maintaining adequate insurance; and competition from less expensive or superior products that may be developed. Except as required by law, SDI disclaims any intention and assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions, changes in factors affecting such forward-looking statements or otherwise.

SURGE HOLDINGS AND PLAYER’S NETWORK ANNOUNCE JOINT VENTURE TO MARKET AND SELL CBD PRODUCTS TO CONVENIENCE STORES NATIONWIDE
SURG and PNTV to stake a claim to the projected $22 Billion CBD industry to distribute Green Leaf PURE CBD products into over 40,000 retail locations.*LAS VEGAS, NV, Dec. 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- *Surge Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: SURG), Las Vegas-based Telecom and Blockchain FinTech software company, and Player’s Network, Inc. (OTCQB: PNTV), a rapidly growing company in legal marijuana industry announce today a joint venture to distribute Green Leaf PURE CBD products to a network of approx. 40,000 retail stores throughout the United States.
The relationship allows PNTV to focus on continual development of high-quality CBD products and brands while SURG utilizes their SurgePays Blockchain B2B distribution platform and outbound call center to introduce, sell and manage the ongoing replenishment of these products.
CBD continues to be one of the fastest growing markets in the United States with sales expecting to reach $22 billion by 2022. Additionally, the passing of the Farm Bill 2018 which included the Hemp Act of 2018 removed the barriers associated with growing hemp due to federal prohibition to include restricted access to banking, water rights, and crop insurance. The signing of this bill will define hemp as a federally legal agricultural product; subsequently removing all of the restricting legislation and opening the door for PNTV and SURG to capitalize early on this multi-billion dollar industry.
Through the JV, the initial order kit for new stores will range from approximately $399 to $1,500 or more. Anticipated monthly orders will be of similar value based on location and the size of the retailer.
Currently, the market for CBD is on track to generate more than $600 Million in 2018. Analysts project that CBD sales will reach over $1 Billion by 2020 and is expected to exceed $22 Billion by 2022.SURG has recently signed contracts to grow their distribution network of convenience stores and bodegas to 40,000+ retail locations throughout the United States. The joint venture with PNTV creates an immediate distribution channel for Green Leaf PURE to capture a share of nationwide brick and mortar CBD sales while both companies expect to realize significant revenue increases as the CBD market grows.
“The bulk of the first to market CBD product sales will not be through big box retailers, but through the 100ks of corner stores, convenience stores and bodegas nationwide.” said Brian Cox, Surge Holdings CEO. “With the passing of the Farm Bill, we expect CBD products to be in high demand and first to market usually wins. We will leverage all of our relationships, call center and software platform to blitz the market nationwide to claim our stake and shelf space.”
Brett H. Pojunis, Director of PNTV, said “now that the Farm Bill of 2018 which includes the Hemp Act of 2018 has passed, this opens up the entire United States as potential customers for our CBD products. The relationship with SURG couldn't have come at a better time! Brian (SURG CEO) and I have been working on developing the best products for the targeted demographics of their retail stores and we feel this will be a huge success.”

Through the JV, the initial order kit for new stores will range from approximately $399 to $1,500 or more. Anticipated monthly orders will be of similar value based on location and the size of the retailer.
Currently, the market for CBD is on track to generate more than $600 Million in 2018. Analysts project that CBD sales will reach over $1 Billion by 2020 and is expected to exceed $22 Billion by 2022.SURG has recently signed contracts to grow their distribution network of convenience stores and bodegas to 40,000+ retail locations throughout the United States. The joint venture with PNTV creates an immediate distribution channel for Green Leaf PURE to capture a share of nationwide brick and mortar CBD sales while both companies expect to realize significant revenue increases as the CBD market grows.
“The bulk of the first to market CBD product sales will not be through big box retailers, but through the 100ks of corner stores, convenience stores and bodegas nationwide.” said Brian Cox, Surge Holdings CEO. “With the passing of the Farm Bill, we expect CBD products to be in high demand and first to market usually wins. We will leverage all of our relationships, call center and software platform to blitz the market nationwide to claim our stake and shelf space.”
Brett H. Pojunis, Director of PNTV, said “now that the Farm Bill of 2018 which includes the Hemp Act of 2018 has passed, this opens up the entire United States as potential customers for our CBD products. The relationship with SURG couldn't have come at a better time! Brian (SURG CEO) and I have been working on developing the best products for the targeted demographics of their retail stores and we feel this will be a huge success.”

Green Builder Media Announces The Align Project at the Consumer Electronics Show
Heading to the Consumer Electronics Show in a few weeks? Join Green Builder Media and our sponsors for a personal tour of The Align Project, a stunning example of net-zero, small footprint, solar-powered, intelligent living—with the smartest, most intuitive technology available today.
Lake City, CO, Dec. 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Green Builder Media is bringing The Align Project, a traveling demonstration project, to the CES show at the Las Vegas Convention Center (January 8-11). The Align Project exhibit will challenge entrenched ideas about how we live in the United States and offer suggestions for how we can align our lifestyles with our changing socio-economic and environmental realities.
Through The Align Project, we explore how we can harmonize our spaces, technology, finances, and mobility solutions with our health and wellness, enabling us to live with grace and age with dignity. The cornerstone of The Align Project is a small footprint, prefab, solar-powered, connected home that is precision-engineered not only to take advantage of every square foot of living space, but also to respond to the occupant’s preferences and behaviors, all while optimizing performance and resource use behind the scenes.
A few years ago, this type of integrated technology was only a pipedream. Until recently, we were in a phase that technology entrepreneur Jason Jaynes calls the “Mindless Home,” in which a homeowner cobbled together a smattering of devices, all with separate apps and functionality. Jaynes asserts that, due to technology platforms like Google Home and Amazon Alexa with voice control that can integrate devices together, we’ve entered the “Managed Home” phase, offering a much more streamlined experience for homeowners.
However, The Align Project goes a step further, entering into the realm of the “Intuitive Home,” where all of the smart home technology is methodically designed and built into the home, connecting the central platform with devices, HVAC, water heating, lighting, water monitoring, appliances, irrigation, and more not just to respond to the homeowner’s commands, but to teach itself to optimize home performance, even without human intervention.
“In an Intuitive Home,” Jaynes says, “the homeowner doesn’t have to install anything, configure anything, or program anything. Since the technology comes with the home, all the occupant needs to do is set passwords and preferences, like with a smart phone.”
To achieve this level of responsiveness and connectivity, The Align Project relies on Loxone’s sophisticated technology platform to control lights, switches, plugs, and more, and also seamlessly connects with other systems and devices, such as:
· The Rheem ductless mini-split HVAC system and hybrid electric water heater
· Flo leak detection system (which measures water flow, water pressure, and temperature and sends real-time alerts or shuts off water if a leak is detected)
· Aware indoor air quality monitor (which measures air temperature, CO2, humidity, dust, and VOCs)
· Delta smart ventilation fan
· Andersen Yale Assure smart locks
The home also features a comprehensive solar system, with a super-efficient array of Jinko solar panels and a Tabuchi Eco-Intelligent Battery System (an all-in-one storage battery and inverter with energy monitoring software that enables a homeowner to monitor energy production, storage, and usage.) The home even connects with a Toyota Prius Prime (electric vehicle) through Alexa, so that the occupant can use voice control to turn on routines remotely when arriving home after being away.
If you’re planning to attend CES in Las Vegas on January 8-11, please let us know and we’ll schedule a private tour of The Align Project. And, if you sign up for our upcoming *Sustainability Symposium 2019: The Desert Shall Bloom*, we’ll provide you with a FREE pass to CES. We look forward to seeing you there!
