DrOwl Introduces New Medical Document Upload Feature That Gives Users the Ability to Access and Share Important Medical Documents On-Demand
DrOwl, a HIPAA-compliant medical platform built on patented technology that empowers patients to access, understand, and share their medical records for free, today announced it has launched a new upload feature in its latest mobile app update. The new capability allows users to safely scan and upload documents, including important information not contained in their healthcare records. This makes it easy for users to have a more holistic view of their health and manage and share everything from one simple place.
Launched in 2019, DrOwl helps individuals take greater control of their own health. With DrOwl, users can securely sync their medical records from the VA, Medicare, and thousands of other providers, and receive a customized Patient Portal with information about their specific conditions and medications. Complex medical jargon in their records is translated into easy-to-understand language, enabling users to better understand their health. The new document upload feature allows patients to add medical information that cannot be imported directly from their healthcare providers.
"DrOwl is dedicated to empowering patients with easy-to-use tools that allow them to better understand their health and become stronger medical advocates for themselves and their loved ones," said Arvind Raichur, CEO and co-founder of DrOwl. "Through this new feature, users can supplement their medical records with their own documents to see a more complete picture of their health. Whether an individual needs to keep track of COVID-19 vaccination records, new insurance cards, or advanced medical directives, we believe it is vital to easily and securely store them all in one accessible place so the patient can fully understand diagnoses, tests, and treatment plans to help obtain the best possible medical care and outcomes."
What documents can users upload?
Users can securely and quickly upload documents, such as insurance cards, vaccination records, COVID-19 test results, powers of attorney, medical directives, and other healthcare-related items, by scanning their documents directly into the DrOwl app. Documentation scanned within the app is clear and easy to read, and gives users the ability to safely share the documents on-demand from their mobile devices.
How does the upload feature help users?
Parents—As the start of the new academic year nears, families across the country will be preparing their children to go back to school. For student-athletes, that includes getting full physicals to confirm they are healthy enough to play sports. DrOwl users can now easily scan in vaccination records, insurance information, and required releases, as well as pull in their child's electronic health records (EHRs) from thousands of medical providers. Parents can simply share the information with the schools as needed so that their child will be ready to take the field.
Caregivers—For those who take care of loved ones, having access to an individual's complete medical history is extremely important, especially if he or she is in failing health or has an emergency. DrOwl makes it easy for caregivers to access and share their loved one's medical records, including information on their conditions, current and prior prescriptions, allergies, and other information that is often fragmented across multiple providers. Using DrOwl's new upload feature, caregivers can go beyond medical records and include insurance cards, power of attorney paperwork, medical directive forms, and more. This reduces the amount of time caregivers spend searching, sifting, and hunting for medical documents and allows them to focus on the well-being of their loved ones.
DrOwl is available for free on Android, iOS, and desktop devices. It is a first-of-its-kind tool that empowers users to better understand their health and become their own medical advocates. This makes taking control of their health easier, more efficient and less overwhelming — helping lead to the best possible outcomes for patients, caregivers, loved ones, and their doctors.

Soppycid Launches World's First Magnetic Reusable Water Balloons
After three years of constant testing and refinement, Soppycid has succeeded in eliminating the flaws in the conventional water balloon product. Soppycid also patented the notion of reusable water balloons at this time. These revolutionary new water balloons have entirely re-imagined the splash water balloon and are ideal for families and children who want to have some fun and stay cool on a hot day.
The Time of Traditional Water Balloons Is Over
One con of traditional splash water balloons is that they are single-use products; consumers can only use them once before throwing them away.
This can be wasteful and expensive, especially if consumers have a large group of people to play with. Another con is that traditional water balloons often leak; this can be frustrating and cause consumers to lose water quickly.
Most consumers dread filling water balloons. It is a tedious and time-consuming process that often leaves people feeling frustrated.
Finally, traditional splash water balloons are often made with inferior latex, which makes them more likely to break. This can be a big problem if consumers are trying to have a fun and long water fight. All these factors make traditional splash water balloons less desirable.
Soppycid has now provided a better way.
What makes Soppycid Reusable Water Balloons so Desirable?
The reusable water balloon is made from latex-free silicone, a soft, safe material that can be reused repeatedly. Fill the balloon with water, seal it off with its magnet, and enjoy.
When finished, users can simply rinse the balloon and let it dry. The durable material will withstand many uses, so consumers can enjoy summer splashes for years to come.
Being an eco-friendly product, using reusable water balloons can reduce environmental impact and help save our planet.
Not only is the reusable water balloon eco-friendly, but it is also a great value! Each balloon can be reused multiple times so that you will save money in the long run. Plus, the soft material is safe for all ages, be they kids, adults, or pets, making this a great option for family fun.
Another splendid feature of these reusable water balloons is the magnetic self-sealing feature. This excellent feature makes refilling the water balloons easy and quick for consumers without the need for manual sealing.
Simply fill the balloon with water and close it. The magnetic self-sealing will automatically seal the balloons. All of this will now take only a second, allowing for uninterrupted fun.
This is also a notable feature because this ensures no water leakage.
Water balloons are a fun summer activity for kids. Children can use them in water balloon fights, water gun battles, or play around with them in the pool. If consumers are looking for a great summer gift for the kids, why not get them some reusable water balloons?
The world's first reusable water balloon is sure to make a splash.
Given all the benefits of Soppycid reusable water balloons, it is time to ditch the conventional disposable water balloons and switch to a sustainable, eco-friendly option this summer. So, gather together and have some fun with Soppycid.

Embracing Equity, a national education nonprofit working to ensure every child feels proud of who they are, announced they will bring together educators, renowned speakers, and thought leaders to collectively organize in the face of anti-truth movements, banning books, and surveilling teacher's curriculum.
"My teachers are overwhelmed with emotions in efforts to fill gaps in instruction, social-emotional needs, all while contending with diminished societal perceptions," said Dr. Curtese Holmes, Principal of Hanrahan Elementary School in St. Louis, Missouri. "More than anything else right now, my teachers need hope, healing and community."
Unapologetically Hopeful is the third annual Embracing Equity conference and will be held virtually August 1-2. The past conferences have seen over 1,200 attendees across 14 countries, 47 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico. Ninety-seven percent of conference attendees indicated they were likely or very likely to implement learnings within six months of attending the conference.
"Unapologetically Hopeful is not your standard diversity, equity, and inclusion conference," said Daisy Han, Founder and CEO of Embracing Equity. "We designed this conference to meet the needs of the moment. Right now, we need hope. Attendees will walk away nourished, inspired, and connected as we use our collective imagination to protect and celebrate truth, justice, and equity on behalf of both ourselves and our students. We are going to keep fighting for the future and we're not going to leave any space unchallenged."
More than 1,000 participants representing hundreds of organizations are expected to experience the event including school administrators, teachers, nonprofit professionals, and corporate professionals who support the K-12 education space.

WizKid CleanPods the Smarter/Clean Solution for Cleaning Products
Produced as its first collection of household cleaning products, WizKid Products releases WizKid CleanPods.
WizKid CleanPods are eco-smart household cleaning products packaged in concentrated, water dissolvable pods. When added to water, they create highly-effective cleaning products made with limited chemicals. Using CleanPods is as simple as dropping the pod into the bottle and adding 24 ounces of water to give a better-for-the-earth cleaning solution.
WizKid CleanPods are available in five formulations for every surface in a home: a glass cleaner, multi-surface cleaner, bathroom cleaner, urine cleaner, and two floor cleaner options designed for use in three gallons of water. Each WizKid CleanPod formulation is designed to keep surfaces cleaner in between cleanings, prevent product build-up, and leave surfaces streak-free.
WizKid CleanPods understand that people want to be as good as possible to this planet we share. However, they also know individuals want to live in a place that is clean and smells good. CleanPods calls this balance between these two needs the Smarter/Clean philosophy. These ideals extend into minimizing the use of harsh chemicals in their line of cleaning products and finding safer combinations that work just as effectively—developing formulations that defend surfaces against the build-up of dirt and grime in-between cleanings, reducing cleaning frequency and the amount of chemicals used in spaces. Additionally, the water-soluble pod system eliminates single-use plastics and the use of commercial-quality spray bottles that are good to use for thousands of sprays, and are 100% recyclable, ultimately reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.
"We are beyond excited to launch a line of household cleaning products made with limited chemicals," Jeff Crevier, CEO and owner said. "When I sat down with our scientists, we looked at different cleaning products on the market and eliminated numerous toxic chemicals that other brands use in their products when creating the formulations for WizKid CleanPods."
Crevier also emphasized that he did not want to charge customers to ship water, which inherently reduces shipping costs for the product. The starter kits come with a commercial-grade spray bottle and a six-month supply of CleanPods. The starter kit for each formulation is available now for $14, and a refill pack is available for $9 at cleanpods.com. There are also two subscription options for the CleanPod refills: a six-month and twelve-month subscription.

New crypto platform Giftcoin to launch first ever "crypto-linked gift card"
Giftcoin, a new cryptocurrency shopping platform, today announced it will launch its inaugural product after receiving initial funding from angel investors. The product is a first-of-its-kind digital gift card whose value is linked to a cryptocurrency rather than a fixed dollar amount, allowing it to increase in value over time. It is slated to be available for public download on the Apple App Store in August.
In just a few clicks, anyone can send a Giftcoin Card to their family, friends, or coworkers that they can spend online or in stores. In the Giftcoin app, they simply select the retailer, the amount, and the cryptocurrency to link it to, and it will instantly be available for use through the Giftcoin app or Apple Pay at checkout. Unlike normal gift cards, Giftcoin Cards are able to gain value as the value of the currency increases, making it the only gift card whose balance can grow. In addition, each transaction itself will be tied to crypto, so users will earn between 1% and 3% "cash back" in crypto for every purchase they make.
Founded in January 2022, Giftcoin's mission is to make crypto fun, easy, and rewarding to use in the real world. Cofounders Justin Lockwood and Bill Rose believe cryptocurrency has thus far been a niche category that largely caters to the investor class, lacking the kind of real-life applications that would enable its mainstream adoption. With Giftcoin, the duo aims to serve the millions of people who want to explore crypto – but who may be intimidated by exchanges, keys and wallets – and make it meaningful in their everyday lives.
"Most of crypto is about investing. What was hailed as a decentralized system that could change finance instead has been turned into a get-rich-quick scheme for crypto bros," said Lockwood, the company's CEO. "There is nothing that exists today that gives people a fun and easy way to give and spend crypto at their favorite stores, so that's what we built. Giftcoin is 'crypto for the rest of us.'"
Only six months after founding the company, Lockwood and Rose have achieved numerous milestones. Apart from completing the first iteration of their product, they've also grown their team to seven people, secured a banking partner, and raised their first tranche of pre-seed funding from prominent angel investors including tech pioneer Keith Teare, executive and entrepreneur Craig Forman, and executive and investor Steve Wadsworth. The company is continuing to actively raise capital to grow and further develop its crypto products.
Giftcoin has also secured a partnership with Solid Financial Technologies, Inc., which will provide additional banking and cards infrastructure support as they continue to build innovative new financial products that bring crypto to the masses.
"After a lot of hard work, we're thrilled to be able to bring Giftcoin to everyone," added Lockwood. "We're grateful to our early backers and partners for helping us reach this milestone."

Former DC Attorney Launches Indie Online Boutique
Former practicing DC attorney Natalie Zink has embarked on her next chapter: the launch of an online indie clothing store called Wild Gardenia Boutique. Based in the DC and Northern Virginia area, the boutique features a collection of indie women's clothing and indie accessories that fashion-minded consumers will love. The indie boutique aims to cater to all women and is size inclusive.
The online boutique offers a compelling take on the traditional ecommerce experience. Wild Gardenia's website highlights how women can incorporate unique pieces into their existing wardrobe, offering suggestions on how to curate inspired looks for brunch, dates, vacations, and more.
"I desired to create a boutique that catered to women like me, relatively young urban professionals who like exploring new places and people," says 30-year-old Zink. "I want to introduce women to statement pieces that they can combine with items already in their wardrobes. I like mixing classic timeless pieces and items with a bit of a twist."
A suite of woman-owned, artisanal brands (among others) make up the boutique's current collection. Shoppers will find beloved brands such as Pinch, Pink Harley, and Jessie Zhao on the site. The owner's favorite piece in the collection is the Daisy Buchanan Romper—shoppers simply must check it out.
Zink, who holds a master's degree in Arabic, left her attorney position in the wake of the pandemic. The uncertainty of COVID inspired the founder to pivot in her career and pursue her true passion: building an online indie boutique that could serve as a creative outlet for herself and women across the region. Based in Washington, DC, the founder will soon relocate to Fairfax, Virginia, where she will continue building her first venture.
"I wanted to create something with my own two hands," says Zink. "I have always loved clothing and used it as a way to express myself. During the pandemic, I realized how much I missed getting dressed up to go to the office or meet up with friends. Wild Gardenia aims to provide women with the ability to express themselves comfortably through fashion and dress in a way that celebrates everyday life."
Women can visit Wild Gardenia Boutique to find inspiration in the way they dress. Through her online store, Zink encourages women like her to be bold, take chances, and live the life they envision.

Buzzkill Wine Premiers Non-Alcoholic Sauvignon Blanc
Buzzkill, a breakthrough non-alcoholic wine brand, announced the launch of their debut offering – an alcohol-removed classic Sauvignon Blanc with notes of lemongrass, passionfruit, and citrus undertones. Crafted by a renowned in-house winemaker, Buzzkill is made with real California grapes that are harvested, crushed, and fermented locally. The wine is then gently heated to remove the alcohol, preserving the vibrant acidity and thirst-quenching properties.
The past two years have seen a surge in the popularity of non-alcoholic beverages. Consumers are demanding new alternatives particularly in the wine segment, and modern technology has made it possible to develop high quality products without sacrificing taste and authenticity.
Beyond the credibility of the liquid, Buzzkill empowers people to embrace alcohol moderation through a bold, unapologetic brand ethos. When developing the company's mission, Founder and CEO Molly Fedick set out to create a brand that defied conventions, appealed to the Genzennial consumer, and encouraged consumers to feel confident in their decision to not drink alcohol.
"We decided to embrace being a total Buzzkill," said Fedick. "Younger consumers are a major influence in the move to moderation, and we saw an opportunity to reflect their attitude of acceptance and rebel against current brand archetypes in a refreshingly real way."
Previously serving as Creative Director of dating app Hinge, Fedick is known for unconventional marketing and a bold approach. To bring the concept to life, Fedick tapped strategic design agency Thirst Craft, whose work for Brooklyn Brewery and Boston Beer Company fueled their recent rise to prominence.
Matt Burns, Creative Director and Co-Founder of Thirst said, "Our goal was to craft an identity and shelf presence that would immediately set the brand apart from its peers in the category. To us, naming the brand "Buzzkill" was a bold move that called for embracing the stereotype, turning its meaning on its head, and leaning into a rebellious and fun persona in the development of the brand. These would become ownable hallmarks to make evident across the entire brand experience."
Drawing from her prior accomplishments as a master meme marketer, having built campaigns for Hinge, Budweiser and Dunkin', Fedick expects social media to play a key role in brand discovery for Buzzkill. "I don't know of a medium that's more organically integrated into customer's lives than meme marketing. It's an incredibly potent touchpoint to build awareness and relatability."
Buzzkill is available for purchase at www.buzzkillwines.com and www.Boisson.nyc.

On "Next Page" Podcast Actor/Producer/Director David Goldsmith Reveals Trauma and Complicated Relationship With Famous Father, "The Most Interesting Man in the World."
Next Page, a podcast focused on mental health awareness and trauma recovery, recently featured the multi-talented writer, actor, director and producer, David Goldsmith. In the episode Goldsmith discusses the challenges he endured as a result of being the son of his now famous father, Actor, Jonathan Goldsmith, best known for his role as 'The Most Interesting Man in The World' in a ten-year long Dos Equis commercial campaign.
In Episode 15 of Next Page, hosts Laura Patrick and Todd Adamson dive deep into the many layers of complicated and traumatic relationships Goldsmith experienced throughout his life in entertainment; from growing up in "the biz" to the film industry as a whole. In addition, Goldsmith opens up about the repercussions of being raised by two narcissistic entertainers, the crippling expectations surrounding body image in Hollywood, and the many mental health impacts and sacrifices people make to be a part of the entertainment industry
Goldsmith said in the interview about his father and home life, "Your safe place is supposed to be your friends and family. Unfortunately, I never really had that on the family side. My safe place was never at home."
Goldsmith hopes that by coming out about his own suffering and trauma, that others will benefit. "I think this podcast is important. That those folks out in the universe that suffer, and that's pretty much everybody, whether folks want to admit it or not, [to know that] it's nice to be able to hear you're not alone."

Brewability Taps Into Music For All
Brewability, a Colorado brewery and pizzeria primarily staffed by adults with developmental disabilities, is dialing up the fun — and accessibility — with a new, vibrational dance floor. By collaborating with nonprofit Feel the Beat, an organization dedicated to creating sound accessible environments using vibrotactile technology for children who are deaf, hard of hearing and with disabilities, Brewability is now poised to deliver live music, as well as house tunes, to hearing and non-hearing patrons alike. Brewability, located at 3445 S. Broadway in Englewood, will host a series of dance-floor-opening events, featuring Ellie D & Soul Mix on July 21, The MDH Project Band on July 22 and The Chris Dismuke Band on July 23.
"Live music — and music in general — is a huge part of what we do at the brewery," says founder and owner of Brewability, Tiffany Fixter. "People want to come out, eat and drink, dance and have a good time. That should be accessible to everyone who walks or rolls through our doors."
When Brewability tested out the mobile version of Feel the Beat's dance floor in the spring, patrons lined up for the fun. As Fixter puts it, "everyone wants a turn." By installing the technology, which is the same as bone-conduction headphones on a larger scale, into an existing 12-by-12 foot dance floor, all patrons can now enjoy the brewery's spectacular line-up of live bands, as well as house music. By transmitting sound vibrations through the bones, anyone who touches the dance floor can experience all aspects of music — not just the bass.
"The coolest element of bone-conduction technology is its ability to allow a participant to experience every instrument and every kind of music, from bluegrass to hip-hop," explains Jari Majewski Price, founder of Feel the Beat. "It's exciting to see the participants' faces just light up, and to witness them really 'get it.' Suddenly, music — something they may have never experienced before — is resonating within their bodies and minds. The impact is amazing, and, most importantly, everyone in the room gets the same access."
The new dance floor is being funded by a grant through Developmental Pathways – a 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency serving individuals with developmental disabilities/delays and their families – and is just the latest adaptable feature in a place that is constantly evolving to build inclusivity for staff and patrons. Brewability already has menus in braille and staff who can communicate in sign language, as well as color-coded beer taps and corresponding menu colors for ordering brews, weighted silverware and a sensory area complete with a marble wall, giant Lite Brite and more. It also partners with other inclusive businesses, such as Adore Bath Tissue, which provides competitive employment opportunities to individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities.
On tap for the brewery's near future are: a Gastrostomy tube (G-tube)-friendly menu, flattened outdoor patio thresholds for smoother wheelchair access and an adjustable adult changing table in the restroom. This constant attention to all aspects of the Brewability experience is designed to make everyone feel welcome.
"Families come into Brewability because they know we can take care of guests without making them feel different," says Fixter. "For a lot of families, we're the only restaurant they'll patronize. So, sure, there's a little bit of pressure for us, but it's important that they feel comfortable."

Youth Esports Franchise XP League Plans for Rapid Expansion
XP League, an emerging youth esports franchise brand focusing on character building and teamwork is breaking through the market with plans for franchise expansion, which is fueled by the demand for competitive gaming across the country. As the first-to-market youth esports franchise in North America, the brand was recently acquired by Unleashed Brands, a fast-growing parent company of youth enrichment franchise brands, including Urban Air Adventure Park, The Little Gym, Snapology, Premier Martial Arts and Class 101.
The organization helps students with an interest in esports to further their passion at a competitive level like traditional sports. XP League is planning to sign 25 new franchise agreements by the end of this year.
The brand was recently in the national spotlight as XP League hosted the largest in-person youth esports tournament in North America on June 25-26, the North American Finals. The top 48 XP League teams, coaches, league owners and families came together at Full Sail University to host hundreds of players and spectators that participated in the national tournament. The event reached over 10,000 viewers through streaming platforms and produced over 20 hours of content.
"Being the first-to-market in such a growing industry is really exciting for us. The success we've witnessed from the franchise model and from the recent tournament has allowed us to share the uniqueness of XP League far and wide," said Jay Melamed, CEO and Brand President. "This is about more than just esports. What we teach these kids in the process are character-building tools that will stay with them forever."
To continue to grow the industry and impact more kids, XP League is seeking individuals who are committed to their mission and who are ready to make a positive change in their community. Franchisees don't need to be an expert in esports or have a ton of familiarity with the industry. The program provides coaching guides and all tournament management is done at the corporate level. With notable recognition of the larger esports community, XP League comes with a positive reputation for anyone interested in investing. The initial investment for interested franchisees ranges from $37,800 - $73,660. For more information about owning an XP League franchise, visit https://franchise.xpleague.com/.
Launched in 2020, XP League offers a nine-week seasonal program including one practice and one match a week. Each team is led by a coach who focuses on teaching resiliency, teamwork and sportsmanship in addition to gaming skills. By integrating these values into the core format of its programming, kids see the positive reward as an exciting part of the overall experience
