Go-Lacta and its parent company, Sugarpod Naturals, were founded way back in 2007. Go-Lacta was the first label to introduce Moringa leaves into the United States as a breastfeeding supplement. More than a decade later, it remains the premiere breastfeeding supplement on the market and continues to positively impact the lives of both breastfeeding mothers and their babies.

‍

Go-Lacta has maintained its elite status within the pregnancy and maternity community due to its commitment to creating safe and effective products. Go-Lacta's products focus on providing Moringa leaves to pregnant women and young mothers in a variety of different supplemental formats.

‍

Moringa leaves have been shown to significantly increase breast milk supply. In fact, one study in Senegal and Haiti found very satisfactory results when using moringa leaf powder to treat malnutrition in pregnant and nursing women as well as small children. Go-Lacta has embraced the efficacy of Moringa as a breastfeeding supplement as well as an all-around superfood that is able to support the nutritional health of both parents and children alike.

‍

Regarding safety, every single one of Go-Lacta's product offerings adheres to the strict standards required when providing nutritional support to new mothers and their children. Each product is all-natural and plant-based. In addition, they are

• 100% raw and vegetarian
• Pesticide-free, preservative-free, and free of artificial flavors and colors
• Soy-free, corn-free, nut-free, gluten-free, and shellfish-free

‍

The hyper-clean nature of Go-Lacta's products means they can be consumed both during and after pregnancy. If you're tandem breastfeeding, Go-Lacta products can be particularly useful in maintaining a healthy milk supply throughout the transition and beyond.

‍

"Our products are pure, premium, and natural. No exceptions," states Go-Lacta founder and CEO Angela Veloso, "Our promise to Go-Lacta moms is to give them the highest quality ingredients through the safest products possible. These are clinically tested and purely raw vegetable. They're simple and effective. They're Mother Nature's gift to mom and baby, and we're honored to be the ones that get to participate in delivering that precious cargo."

‍

Throughout all that Go-Lacta does, the goal of Veloso's team remains the same: to facilitate and encourage the bond between mothers and their children. This dedication has fueled the brand's ongoing mission to support and empower women with the ability to provide compassionate care for their little ones.

Intoleran is a health brand that specializes in addressing a variety of food intolerances through a simple yet innovative solution. The company provides high-quality digestive enzymes that fill a crucial gap in the digestive process.

‍

Digestive enzymes are created by the body with the primary function of helping to break down food. They are located throughout the digestive tract where different enzymes break down different foods. When the body can't create enough of a particular enzyme, it can lead to an intolerance.

‍

Unlike a food allergy (which is related to the immune system), an intolerance is a purely digestive issue and generally isn't as dangerous. Instead, it leads to a host of discomforting side effects, like gas and bloating, which can significantly hamper an individual's quality of life. Dietary restrictions are typically used to curb these side effects, but even then, avoiding foods comes with its own loss of joy.

‍

That's where Intoleran can help. The brand's digestive enzymes fill the gap created by a food intolerance, allowing individuals to enjoy dietarily restricted foods once again.

‍

"We've had the same philosophy and strategy since the beginning," explains Intoleran owner Harmen Treep, "The original founder, Remko Hiemstra, was lactose intolerant. He suffered from poor digestion and knew there was a lot of room for improvement in this area of the health and wellness world. Remko started with a lactose enzyme. Since then, the Intoleran team has created an entire range of digestive enzymes that address many different intolerances."

‍

Treep goes on to explain the mission that has driven the Intoleran team since day one. "Remko's aim was always to help people to enjoy their food again. It continues to be our North Star today. We've found that the best way to do this is to create the most pure and efficient products possible. That's why we use a minimal number of clean ingredients. We create the products in-house in our state-of-the-art facility in the Netherlands, too. This all comes from our singular focus on helping individuals with food intolerances actually enjoy their food again."

‍

Food intolerances are a simple yet profound struggle that many face. Why shouldn't the solution be equally simple and profound? Intoleran is a digestive supplement that eliminates unpleasant side effects and allows individuals to eat the foods they love once more. It provides that spark of joy that comes from truly enjoying your food.

JL WOOD, a family-owned winery, is a specialist in luxury Chardonnay.

‍

Starting August 1, 2022, JL WOOD will ship their newest product, "Hoo Knew", a reduced alcohol Chardonnay (9.7% ALC/VOL). Provided in 750mL bottles, it is 80 calories per 5 ounce serving. Serving Facts on "Hoo Knew" can be found on the website JLWOODwine.com

‍

Paul Morrison, JL WOOD Managing Director, summarizes the value proposition: "Our target buyer is concerned about alcohol levels or calories. Many customers want to control their intake of alcohol for a variety of reasons: health, help with weight loss, less potent drinking, etc. It is important to note that we make no representations about the health impacts of alcohol reduction. The Federal warning on the back of the bottle remains the same."

‍

Paul continues: "We determined that the reduced alcohol customer wants a tasty wine experience. We take no short-cuts in the winery, nor do we ask our customers to accept trade-offs in quality. The same hand selected high-quality grapes from our own JL WOOD Ranch that go into our other luxury products are used in "Hoo Knew"."

‍

Ed Filice, JL WOOD winemaker, explains the reduced alcohol technology behind "Hoo Knew". "We used a light touch "spinning cone" process. Our evaluations revealed that it has a minimum of quality and technical impacts on our final product. Like our other luxury Chardonnays, "Hoo Knew" is fully fermented with no added sugar or flavor reducing malolactic fermentation."

‍

JL WOOD is very attentive to their consumer's focus on the environment. Having farmed the same land for over 100 years, the JL WOOD team thinks about sustainability and their carbon footprint in every process. Both vineyard and winery operations are sustainably certified.

‍

"Hoo Knew" and other JL WOOD Chardonnays are available through selected distributors, retailers, and restaurants.

‍

Consumers can order JL WOOD wines for direct home delivery through JLWOODwine.com to California, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Colorado, Texas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, DC, New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, Michigan, Nevada, and Minnesota. The website includes a blog, Inside Modern Wine, and a gallery of photos of our vineyard and winery operations.

High 5 Plumbing, a family-owned and operated plumbing company serving residents in the greater Denver metropolitan area, is dedicated to helping the home service industry thrive. With a shortage of skilled plumbing technicians, the company is encouraging new high school graduates or anyone looking for a new career to consider choosing a life in the trades.

‍

"Right now, we are an industry that is high in demand but limited on the number of plumbers available to work," said Levi Torres, co-owner of High 5 Plumbing. "Far too often, there is a negative stigma associated with working in the trades that isn't true. Working in the trades is fulfilling because you are helping people day in and day out. You get to make a good living without going into debt. There are countless benefits to choosing a life in the trades."

‍

When compared to the average salary of an upstart graduate fresh out of a four-year university, trade jobs pay more. Torres explains that new trade school graduates can earn well above $50,000 yearly with those wages nearing six figures after earning certifications and additional training.

‍

In addition, high school graduates who attend a trade school are less likely to incur high levels of debt. According to Forbes, the average cost to attend a four-year university in 2021-22 was approximately $10,740. Those attending a trade school paid as little as $5,000.

‍

Torres said given the national landscape, taking advantage of lower school tuition and higher salaries gives those looking for a career the chance to enter a field that is starving for technicians.

‍

"On a nationwide scale, there is a high demand for skilled laborers in the home service industry," Torres said. "Companies are looking to hire individuals that can perform the work at a high level. With the jobs available, technicians have plenty of companies to choose from. It's important for us to spread the word that the trades are a viable option for those looking for a career.

‍

"Going to a four-year college isn't the right fit for everyone. There are some that prefer a more hands-on approach right out of high school. For me, I started in the plumbing industry at the age of 16 and never looked back. Learning a trade is an excellent opportunity to enter a career that is meaningful while also earning a great living."

The Leapfrog Group, an independent national watchdog organization of employers and other purchasers focused on health care safety, today released the report Recognizing Excellence in Diagnosis: Recommended Practices for Hospitals. This landmark report is the result of an intensive year-long effort bringing together the nation's leading experts on diagnostic excellence, including physicians, nurses, patients, health plans, and employers. Together, the multi-stakeholder group reviewed the evidence and identified 29 evidence-based actions hospitals can implement now to protect patients from harm or death due to diagnostic errors.

‍

Diagnostic errors contribute to 40,000-80,000 deaths a year, with over 250,000 Americans experiencing a diagnostic error in hospitals. This includes delayed, wrong, and missed diagnoses, and those that are not effectively communicated to the patient. The report is the first step in Leapfrog's longer term initiative, Recognizing Excellence in Diagnosis, which aims to rate hospitals and publicly report on their diagnostic excellence in the future. The initiative is funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.

‍

Leapfrog will select practices from the report issued today and survey hospitals on their current implementation status via a national pilot in fall 2022. The feedback collected from hospitals during the pilot will be used to develop a new section on the Leapfrog Hospital Survey slated for launch in 2024. The Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine (SIDM), a key partner in this initiative, was a leading stakeholder in identifying the practice recommendations and will develop tools and training materials to support hospitals in implementing the practices outlined in the report.

‍

For each recommended practice, the report includes descriptions and resources to help hospitals implement the practice. The report also offers guidance to employers, purchasers, and patient advocates to motivate hospital action. Featured practices in the report include:

• Making it easy for patients and family caregivers to report their diagnostic errors and concerns to the hospital
• Implementing "closed-loop" communication to ensure that test results are reviewed by the ordering clinician and communicated to the patient on a timely basis
• Convening a multidisciplinary team to implement hospital-wide diagnostic quality and safety programs, including the emergency department

‍

"Clinicians and hospital leaders tell us they know diagnostic errors are harming too many patients, but they are less clear on how to fix the problem," said Leah Binder, Leapfrog president and CEO. "Thanks to the incredible leadership of the multi-stakeholder group Leapfrog has convened, hospitals now have clarity on the steps to take. The faster hospitals act, the more lives they can save."

‍

In 2021, Leapfrog convened the nation's leading experts on diagnostic excellence in a national advisory group to help evaluate existing practices in hospitals to improve diagnostic safety and quality and to develop this first-of-its-kind report. Leading experts include Hardeep Singh, MD, MPH, a patient safety researcher at Center for Innovations in Quality, Effectiveness and Safety (IQuESt) based at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center and Baylor College of Medicine, Houston; Mark L. Graber, MD, FACP, SIDM founder and president emeritus; and a research team led by Matt Austin, PhD, associate professor, Johns Hopkins Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality. The National Advisory Group includes a diverse group of physicians, nurses, other clinicians with expertise in diagnosis and performance analysis, employers, health plans, and consumer advocates.

Hospitals interested in volunteering for the national pilot survey in 2022 should contact the Leapfrog Help Desk. Follow our progress and get the latest information on our website.

On May 27th, 2022, The Porkie Company Of Wisconsin was acquired by Pork King Good, a quirky and unique pork rind brand with a fanatically loyal customer base, led by Lauren Koston.

‍

Pork King Good launched in 2018 as a customer of the Porkie Company of Wisconsin and quickly grew into one of the Porkie Company's largest customers with their innovative flavor lineup of Pork Rinds along with their best-selling Pork Rind Crumbs, a zero carb breadcrumb alternative.

‍

With this acquisition, Pork King Good & The Porkie Company become the only woman-owned pork rind manufacturing business in the country!

Recently, the team has begun to focus more on building a strong retail presence with their flavored Pork Rinds, Seasonings, and their top-selling Pork Rind Crumbs.

‍

"Owning & operating our own manufacturing will really allow us to support our national distribution and retail growth strategy" said Lauren Koston, founder of Pork King Good.

‍

The team intends to expand its retail business by building strategic partnerships with direct-store-delivery operators and retailers alike. In addition to supporting the growth of the Pork King Good brand, the team is actively pursuing opportunities to partner with retailers to develop private-label programs across multiple categories, including their pork rinds.

Parker Ranch seeks information and ideas to be considered as part of a potential Request for Proposals (RFP) for lessees to lease, on a long-term basis, approximately 7,600 acres of forested land in the Pa'auhau and Kalopa areas in Hamakua, Island of Hawai'i that are currently leased for a term ending in March 2025. Roughly 4,500 acres of the lands contain densely planted eucalyptus timber (spp. Grandis).

‍

"We believe the upcoming expiration of the lease on the Pa'auhau lands presents a tremendous opportunity for a broad range of possibilities for the lands. We are excited to explore creative ideas for the highest and best uses of the lands," said Dutch Kuyper, President & CEO of Parker Ranch, Inc. "Sustainability and our strategic priorities of forestry, renewable energy, and food production will be very important to any decisions we make."

‍

A Request for Information (RFI) will be issued in advance of a potential RFP that may involve a long-term arrangement for the forested lands on a sustainable basis, contributing to Hawai'i Island's economic growth and development, preserving and enhancing the forest resources, and helping to mitigate the effects of climate change. Parties interested in providing information in response to the RFI may contact Zachary Judd, Forestry Manager at jud.z@pri-hi.com. Responders also will have the opportunity to provide feedback on what should be included in the RFP, to meet the needs and interests of potential lessees of the lands.

Alley Cat Allies president and founder Becky Robinson denounced the classification of cats as an invasive species by the Polish Academy of Sciences Institute of Nature Conservation.

‍

"Make no mistake - labeling cats as invasive is a preferred first step in a broader strategy of killing them in huge numbers through ghastly cat hunts and poisonings, as Australia, New Zealand and other countries are doing," Robinson said. "But this idea of killing cats will never be accepted by the compassionate society in which we live. The idea that we must kill one species to save another is both scientifically and morally flawed. It will never be effective to kill cats, nor will it be morally acceptable.

‍

"Leading biologists, climate scientists and environmental watchdogs agree that climate change, habitat destruction and development are the leading causes of species loss, so it is entirely improper to place the blame on cats for problems we have caused.

‍

"It is perfectly normal for cats to live outside," Robinson added. "Cats have lived alongside us for thousands of years, only coming indoors with us in the last century after the invention of kitty litter. There is no future in which people can exist without cats – they are to stay. The only path forward is through humane, nonlethal programs such as Trap-Neuter-Return, the scientifically proven approach to effectively and humanely address community cat populations."

The Atlanta Quilt Festival (AQF) announced the lineup for its 14th annual festival scheduled for August 6th – September 2nd at the Southwest Arts Center.

It will feature a new collection of approximately 25 original art quilts that celebrate the life and legacy of Congressman John Lewis.

‍

Congressman Lewis dedicated his life to obtaining civil rights for all. After being active in the civil rights movement from an early age, he continued his work by representing the 5 District in Georgia until his death. AQF is based in Congressman Lewis's district and he loved quilts, so it is only fitting that the premier of this exceptional exhibit that will add to the permanence of his legacy takes place in his district.

Additional exhibits are the Lives Taken, Lives Remembered exhibit and the annual AQF juried exhibit. The Lives Taken, Lives Remembered exhibit is a collection of 8 quilts that capture the essence of documented lynchings that took place in Fulton County. The AQF features quilts of all types and techniques. Quilters compete for Ribbons and prize money in 4 categories: Best Traditional quilt, Best Art Quilt, Best Modern Quilt and Best African American Heritage Quilt. Over 100 quilts celebrating the African American heritage will be displayed.

On your next walk in the woods why not take in a little inspiration along with all that fresh air? That was the idea behind the creation of the Poetry Path, open to the public since late June.

The trail, featuring poem panels strung at intervals between the trees, connects the Arms Forest with Rock Point Road in Burlington’s New North End.

The bite-sized poems were created by members of the non-profit Burlington Writers Workshop (BWW). They will be on display through September.

“There are other poetry and story walks in our area,” says Mary Chaffee, the BWW volunteer who coordinated the project. “But this is the only one I know of where the panels are framed by branches and leaves. You’re gazing up at the poems as you pass by, and that feels great.”

The BWW Poetry Path was inspired by a similar path in Tadoussac, a picturesque village on Quebec’s North Shore known for its whale-watching tours. In 2015, Quebec resident and arts lover Dany Chartrand (also known as Mme. Chose) realized a longstanding dream with the installation of her first annual Poetic Panels.

In 2019, Chaffee was camping at Tadoussac and discovered the striking path. She took the idea home to Burlington. With the gracious help of Mme. Chose, the generous support of the Burlington Parks and Recreation Department, and the efforts of BWW volunteers, the Vermont version of the Poetry Path is now a reality.

For more information about the Poetry Path, including a locator map, search for Poetry Path on BWW’s website or visit: www.burlingtonwritersworkshop.com/?s=Poetry+Path.

Hold Me Back, a debate-based podcast hosted by a spirited son and father duo, has been selected as one of the first podcasts to earn the Common Sense Selection distinction from Common Sense Media, the leading source of entertainment and technology recommendations for families.

‍

Hosted by 17-year-old son, Aidan, and father, Ash, Hold Me Back has helped thousands of families bridge the generational gap on issues relevant to tweens and teens, such as youth sports, grades, device time, privacy, social media, college admissions, money and more.

‍

"It's humbling, and frankly unbelievable, to see the positive impact the Hold Me Back podcast is having on so many families," said Aidan Eldifrawi, founder of Hold Me Back. "As a kid, my parents used Common Sense Media for guidance, and I could never have imagined that one day Hold Me Back would earn their endorsement and highest honor."

‍

According to Common Sense Media, Hold Me Back is "an eye-opening podcast great for teens and adults to listen to together. It bridges the generational gap between kids and their parents in a real and empathetic way." Common Sense Media also notes that Hold Me Back stands out for diverse representations, positive messages, and positive role models.

‍

"Hold Me Back is really about creating a safe environment for healthy debates," said Ash Eldifrawi, co-host of Hold Me Back. "Our goal is to show what active, respectful listening looks like when two people are genuinely seeking to understand each other's unique context and point of view, even on the most divisive topics."

‍

In each episode of Hold Me Back, Aidan and Ash discuss why the topic is relevant; share the research they've uncovered; have a healthy, often spirited, debate; and then in a section called "You Convinced Me," they talk about what the other person convinced them of on the topic. They conclude each episode negotiating a new social contract on the topic.

‍

A tremendous amount of research goes into every topic debated, with each episode taking about 40-50 hours to complete.

‍

Aidan and Ash have received dozens of notes from families, teachers, coaches and counselors about the positive impact the podcast has made in their lives, including how they regularly share Hold Me Back with others when life's tough topics come up in everyday conversations.

‍

Season 3 is in the works with topics including Mental Health, Drinking and Music. Stream Hold Me Back on your favorite streaming platform.

Yepp is a next-generation meme editor based on ML technologies that has just launched its beta version with more than 10,000 users to date. As part of its mission, the app wants to enable millions of people to monetize their sense of humor and provide tools to make content creation easy.

‍

Now users can upload their own memes or choose from the app's trending memes database, edit text or images, and publish. Funny memes go viral and collect hundreds of thousands of views in the feed.

‍

Yepp is shaped around several creative features:

• Easy to become an author: with Yepp in-app studio anyone can create a meme without any skills, but just a good sense of humor. ML recognition technology allows editing any text and font, and a Face Swap algorithm replaces a face on a meme with your friend's. Besides that, auto content suggestions help to create funny texts considering your own sense of humor.
  
  
• Get more subscribers: the app gives meme authors ways to easily get more subscribers and viewers. Smart algorithms based on user behavior create personalized memes feed for every individual user using different data: action rate, text and image recognition, the behavior of the user, and content. Neural networks also detect clickbait memes, duplicates, and stolen content and don't give them any views.
  
  
• Earn money on memes: the app invented a unique revenue sharing model. Yepp earns money from advertising, and honestly divides the revenue between the platform and users: 50% of weekly revenue, with at least $1750 weekly. Where 30% goes for the friends that users invite to the app, 17% to the creators, and 3% to the users who are just watching memes. All of the revenue sharing and other analytics are fully transparent and can be seen in the app.

‍

Denis Litvinov, CEO at Yepp says: "We have built Yepp to be the next-generation social network for high quality entertainment that treats creators as partners instead of a commodity, protecting their content and fairly distributing revenue on every level. The platform takes only a portion of the profits to cover operating and development costs. And the rest is divided between content creators on a daily basis in accordance with the value they bring to the platform and the viewers."

Rainbow Cone, a Chicago tradition for over 95 years, has announced a new franchise partner program. The uniquely designed program, created with third-generation Rainbow Cone Owner Lynn Sapp, and the Buonavolanto Family, will expand the Rainbow Cone family and its celebrated history, flavors and values to new communities throughout the Midwest, Southeast and South/Southwest. It enables entrepreneurs passionate about the classic Chicago treat to join the company and share the Rainbow Cone legacy.

‍

"There's long been a deep love for Rainbow Cone among entrepreneurs who have often inquired about bringing its classic flavors to their own communities," said Lynn Sapp, third-generation Owner. "Our new franchise partner program was carefully created to extend our family operation nationwide."

‍

Founded in 1926 by "Grandpa Joe" Sapp, who was never satisfied with just one ice cream flavor, Rainbow Cone features five delicious flavors on a single cone, including chocolate, strawberry, Palmer House, pistachio, and orange sherbet. Rather than scooped, the ice cream is sliced and layered, and can be enjoyed in a waffle cone, sugar cone, dish or as a cake. Since 2020, the brand has expanded by adding a second brick and mortar location equipped with a Drive-Through, three kiosk locations, and a fleet of ice cream trucks for festivals, catering, and events.

"We grew aggressively during COVID, which is a testament to our loyal customers, our ice cream and tireless work of our team," added Buonavolanto.

Rainbow Cone has plans to continue expansion of company owned locations next year with three more brick and mortar locations in the Orland Park, Flossmoor, and Algonquin areas. The new franchise partner program includes In-Line, Drive-Through and kiosk opportunities, with a proven proprietary business approach developed and fine-tuned by Rainbow Cone. It spans industry-leading technology, real estate and construction support, shoulder to shoulder training, e-learning, marketing resources and field teams to help franchise partners thrive, succeed and grow.

"The relationship with Lynn Sapp and the Buonavolanto family has been pivotal in bringing Rainbow Cone throughout Illinois over the past four years," added Buonavolanto. "Our new franchise partner program enables other entrepreneurs to work in synergy with us to share Rainbow Cone with as many communities as possible. We are committed to partnering with enthusiastic leaders and building an alliance with our franchisees."

The Rainbow Cone franchise partnership program is open to experienced entrepreneurs interested in single-unit and multi-unit opportunities. Initial investment figures range from $269K to $1.205M. For more information about the program, visit www.rainbowconefranchise.com
