    –
    ​CorMatrix® Cardiovascular, Inc., (www.cormatrix.com) a leading developer of biomaterial compositions and medical devices for regenerative medicine, today announced the issuance of 56 patents in 2016.  The ongoing expansion of this patent portfolio continues to support the Company’s development of novel extracellular matrix (ECM®) based devices and compositions.

    Of the fifty-six patents, 19 were obtained internationally. CorMatrix currently holds 13 trademarks related to its Extracellular Matrix products and the Company has secured some 128 patents affording significant intellectual property protection in the area of regenerative medicine. CorMatrix ECM is a naturally occurring bioscaffold that remodels over time into healthy, organized tissue that is site specific.

    CorMatrix’s intellectual property portfolio is outstanding. We have very comprehensive coverage of not only the ECM devices we provide to our core markets, but also of the innovations that can find applications in other important areas of regenerative medicine.

    Dr. Robert Matheny, Chief Scientific Officer, CorMatrix Cardiovascular, Inc.

    “CorMatrix’s intellectual property portfolio is outstanding. We have very comprehensive coverage of not only the ECM devices we provide to our core markets, but also of the innovations that can find applications in other important areas of regenerative medicine,” said Robert Matheny, MD, CSO of CorMatrix. “From the beginning, we recognized the importance of developing and then protecting our technology. As a pioneer in the field of regenerative science since 2001, having our patents recognized by offices around the globe (United States, Europe, South America, Australia and others) is a source of pride for the entire Company, our Partners, and our Investors.”

    Extracellular matrix has been used as a biologic scaffold in many different surgical applications including cardiac and vascular repairs, pelvic floor reconstructions, dental surgery, and veterinary medicine to identify a few. A steady production of both preclinical and clinical data support the need for organs and tissues to have an inductive scaffold for the cells, particularly stem cells, to be retained, restored, and to function normally.

    Among the patents issued this year, CorMatrix secured US 9,352,070 for use as a tissue prosthesis which can be engineered into a variety of shapes and used to repair, reconstruct or replace damaged or diseased tissue and the associated biological structures. This includes seamless tubular uses (for vein and arterial replacements), heart valves, myocardium, pericardium and other significant aortic structures. Use of ECM as a prosthetic also could also be extended to esophageal, tracheal, and bronchial anatomy. The Company currently has 510(k) clearances for their implantable ECM devices used in adult and pediatric cardiac tissue repair, pericardial reconstruction, and vascular repair.

    Two additional patents, US 8,980,296 and US 8,877,224; along with the issuance of European patent No. 2398502, may significantly address issues surrounding the prevention, reduction, and treatment of myocardial damage and arrhythmic sequelae. Atrial fibrillation, (AFib or AF) is the most common type of heart arrhythmia and affects an estimated 3-6 million people in the United States. More than 750,000 hospitalizations occur each year because of AFib and cost the United States approximately $6 billion each year. Through these patents, micronized extracellular matrix (with or without stem cells) is delivered via intra-myocardial injection into the area of infarct enabling regrowth and restoration of the native cardiac function. Medical costs for people with AFib are almost $9K higher per year than for people who do not have AFib.1, 2  

    “Our CorMatrix technology backed by the Company’s patents is harnessing the potential of stem cells and matrix factors working together to regenerate site specific tissue,” said Andrew Green, CEO of CorMatrix.  “We now have preclinical and human evidence of regenerating heart muscle after myocardial infarctions and myocardial tissue replacement treatments. No other company, stem cell based or otherwise, has been able to demonstrate this concept. Now our goal is to make it available around the world.”

    About CorMatrix

    CorMatrix® Cardiovascular, Inc. is a privately held medical device company dedicated to developing and delivering innovative biomaterial devices that harness the body’s own innate ability to repair damaged cardiac and vascular tissues.  CorMatrix ECM Technology allows surgeons to restore the native anatomy of cardiac and vascular tissue in need of repair, serving as a superior alternative to synthetic or cross-linked materials. Headquartered in Roswell, Georgia, the Company is currently researching, developing, and commercializing a platform technology known as CorMatrix® ECM® for a variety of cardiovascular and other indications, and has U.S. clearance and European registration (with a CE Mark) for its ECM® technology.  Since its launch in 2006, CorMatrix® ECM® Technology has been used at more than 1000 hospitals across the U.S. and has been implanted in over 145,000 cardiovascular procedures.  Visit cormatrix.com for additional information.

    –
    Lightswitch Learning, a national K-12 publisher and sales organization, has acquired high-interest educational publisher, Scobre Press. A publisher of high-interest fiction and nonfiction devoted to serving striving readers, Scobre Press has a catalog of more than 100 fiction and nonfiction titles that students from grades 4 and up have enjoyed for over 15 years.

    Lightswitch Learning plans to continue the Scobre tradition of producing high-quality books that young people want to read, and that are accessible to students reading below level, by releasing 8 new titles from Scobre in the Fall of 2017. 

    These are titles that students routinely choose to read—and we believe that adding this content to our bookbag will allow us to reach a population that likely needs our help the most.

    Ron Sussman, President, Sussman Education

    According to Ron Sussman, President of Lightswitch Learning, “The acquisition of Scobre Press is very exciting for us. With the varied high-interest content we now have available to customers through Scobre, we can continue to build on our promise to offer the best resources available at affordable prices. These are titles that students routinely choose to read—and we believe that adding this content to our bookbag will allow us to reach a population that likely needs our help the most.”  

    Steve Sussman, Lightswitch Learning co-founder adds, “We have seen first-hand the impact that accessible content can have for reluctant or remedial readers. The Scobre library of books gives us the chance to touch so many more students. We are excited and proud to be able to support literacy across the country with this quality content.”

    Scobre Press was among the first to pioneer the concept of differentiated instruction. Many of the titles in the Scobre library are offered as paired sets on two unique reading levels, so that striving and proficient readers can access and discuss content together. Scobre has emphasized a variety of stories about sports and careers through their Dream Series and Future Stars Series collections. Recently published Scobre content focuses on empowering young people by inspiring them. Titles that focus on the great achievements of minorities, women, and teenagers, will help show young people that while the obstacles in front of them may be daunting, their dreams are achievable.   

    About Lightswitch Learning 

    Lightswitch Learning provides schools, teachers, parents and students with resources on family engagement, social-emotional learning, career exploration and much more.

    Sussman Education, the parent company of Lightswitch Learning, was founded in 1971 by Joe and Elaine Sussman. Joe and Elaine’s sons, Ron and Steve, took over the business in 2001.

    New York, NY, January 13, 2017 (Newswire.com)
    –
    ​For many non-native English speakers, English is a constant companion that challenges their paths to success. Be it academic, professional, or personal, learning English has been and will remain a difficult task for international students. This is exacerbated by the lack of resources in their native countries. Every year, millions of Chinese students face these issues that result in mispronunciations and awkward accents. While there are many books, classes, and seminars, they fall short of a fostering environment that is filled with native English speakers. And before long, their opportunities to study abroad have passed on.

    Enter YiYiEnglish.com, a new English education organization that aims to change this and provide the best native English education to English learners in China. Based in New York City, YiYiEnglish is founded by Wall Street professionals in 2014 and currently maintains offices in New York and Beijing. YiYiEnglish provides a comprehensive curriculum of native English education resources, including SAT / TOEFL / IELTS preparations, summer camp educations, and AP-level classes.

    The key value proposition for YiYiEnglish lies in its teacher quality and personalized teaching methodology. Unlike other English classes, YiYiEnglish works with teachers from top universities around the world, such as Harvard, Columbia, Oxford, and MIT. Because of this, YiYiEnglish is able to provide the most authentic education experience for English learners. In addition, YiYiEnglish has partnered with select universities and non-profit organizations to provide students with experiential opportunities, such as summer camps and internships at Fortune 500 companies, to further solidify students’ learning of the English language.

    Secondly, with YiYiEnglish’s personalized education, students who have participated in the program have achieved great success in all aspects of the language acquisition process: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. In addition, YiYiEnglish also provides English education across grade levels, so there is a curriculum for everyone – be it K-12, college, or professional grades. Through 1-on-1 instruction, YiYiEnglish helps students overcome the language barrier to jumpstart their journey in school and beyond.

    “We are proud of our rapid growth,” Martin Liu, the CEO of YiYiEnglish remarks. “It is an exciting time for our all-star team and we are well-positioned for the journey ahead.” Indeed, the global market for English education is estimated to be $30 billion and growing. “We are confident that students would find tremendous value in YiYiEnglish, and that YiYiEnglish will become the top program to help students master the English language.”

    THREE EVENT LOCATIONS IN NEW JERSEY:

    Emotional Intelligence for young children is what my mission and passion is all about. If only I had learned these skills as a young child and teenager, I wouldn’t have suffered the demeaning voices of emotional abuse way into adulthood. I’m grateful to the hosts of our conferences at Mercer, BCC and Atlantic Cape, for giving me the opportunity to convey and teach the importance of these skills to parents and educators at nearby colleges. My life has been dedicated to learning all I can so that children will have the ability to be emotionally safe in our emotionally unsafe world.

    OVERVIEW:

    Take the next step beyond just social and emotional learning to ensure your children’s personal and conceptual success at home or in the classroom. Social and emotional learning programs are the topic of all early childhood programming. Children are demonstrating the need for a more structured and consistent method of becoming relational. The “Voices of CJ” early childhood emotional intelligence program stimulates those active emotional centers of the brain growing the fastest from birth to six. We have a very small window of time to teach and stimulate these emotional centers to reap the greatest benefit.  Emotional Intelligence (EQ) skills are not innate and require the relational quality time that comes from appropriate connection in our lives. Current brain research has determined that EQ raises IQ and is 80% the reason we are successful in life.

    This stimulating and interactive conference for parents and teachers provides a background of the importance of Emotional Intelligence and how learning styles are vital information for instruction that affects social and emotional development. It also includes a fun and engaging demonstration of the award-winning “Voices of CJ” early education program for parenting and teaching emotional intelligence. This program teaches children the “7 Voices of CJ” and how to become Creators of Joy. Parent and teacher guides along with all the materials you need are available in order for CJ our Creator of Joy® character and his playful buddies to become a part of your daily routines at home and in classrooms. 

    CJ (Creator of Joy®) and his cast of characters make this a fun and engaging experience while at the same time developing the 7 important attributes of Emotional Intelligence (EQ). Learn more about this exciting new approach by going to EQforChildren.com and seeing all that is available to bring this into your homes and classrooms.  Learn More.

Karen’s work is also influenced by her experiences raising a son with significant disabilities.  Karen’s professional experiences as an educator also helped her see that for children to be successful whether they had disabilities or not, they needed to value themselves, each other and their abilities.

    As CEO of SoftStone, Inc., Karen has written and piloted research-based children’s Emotional Intelligence (EQ) programs.

    iPad has quickly become a staple device in businesses everywhere. It’s compact size and mobility make it a great fit for small businesses as well as sales personnel working from home or on the road. Popular entertainment and media website Mashable, in an article entitled 5 Ways to Take Advantage of the iPad for Business outlines the many benefits of iPad in the workplace noting among the highlights payment processing, as a presentation tool, as well as inventory and data collection http://mashable.com/2011/07/20/ipad-business/#W1xE4owNKEqJ. When you add the versatile iPad Flip Turn Case from Sunrise Hitek, it becomes an even better tool.

    iPad Air Flip Turn Case is made of durable polycarbonate for enhanced durability. It protects the iPad all around – front, black, all sides and corners https://www.sunrisehitek.com/product/ipad-air2-flip-turn-g2. Rubberized soft touch coating on the black case gives it just the right amount of grip, and the silver painted case offers striking resemblance to Apple’s Macbook Pro. Precision cutouts allow easy access to all iPad buttons, controls, and functions.

    “I really like [the Flip Turn Case]. There is no other flip case with backlit keys on the market (Zagg, Targus, etc.) so I was excited to find one. The swivel hinge is secure but not too tight, spins easily without too much tension. … the product is exactly what I was looking for. Very happy with it!”

    ~ Katherine S., Simi Valley, CA

    The flip turn mechanism is arguably one of the most versatile on the market. It performs acrobatic tricks on the iPad, allowing it to be used as a tablet, a laptop, or a movie player. By simply opening the case, the iPad wakes up and goes into laptop mode, tilting the screen at a comfortable angle for typing. When turned 180 degrees, the keyboard base becomes a stand, turning the iPad into a beautiful presentation device. Folding the case completely flat hides the keyboard, and the iPad becomes a normal tablet. The tension closure system also keeps the iPad closed when not in use, with an auto wake/sleep smart cover design to conserve battery.

    Customers love the backlit keys and swivel action features, as shown in the following testimonial: “I really like [the Flip Turn Case]. There is no other flip case with backlit keys on the market (Zagg, Targus, etc.) so I was excited to find one.  The swivel hinge is secure but not too tight, spins easily without too much tension. … the product is exactly what I was looking for. Very happy with it!”  ~ Katherine S., Simi Valley, CA

    Vancouver, BC, December 22, 2016 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Like many classics for young readers, such as Winnie the Pooh, Paymaneh Ritchie’s “Hello, My Name is Oliver”, was written by a parent to entertain and educate their own child. Told from the perspective of a lovable but depressive six-year-old Beagle-Springer Spaniel who was adopted from the SPCA, this children’s book delves into mental health issues that include separation anxiety, depression, and self-worth.

    Paymaneh’s aim is to create an easy to read, light-hearted story that will enable parents to discuss tolerance, acceptance and unconditional love with children.

    Through Oliver’s experiences, the author utilizes words such as depression, anxiety, adaptability, unconditional love and understanding to allow parents to elaborate and educate their children whilst bonding and strengthening their relationship through sharing a story and hopefully a few hugs!

    Paymaneh Ritchie, Author

    “Hello, My Name Is Oliver” is a middle-grade book written in an easy, conversational tone to encourage young readers and their parents into a natural flow of discussion regarding the ‘big’ issues Oliver faces in his simple, yet universal life.  This true story is told through Oliver’s eyes as he views his humans’ world.

    Oliver is a loyal, neurotic, and lovable abandoned dog who is unsure about his self-worth until he meets his new family at a local SPCA.  His new home offers him a second chance in life along with a human sister and an extended family that adore him.  But of course, fitting into a new family requires Oliver to ‘train’ his humans about his anxiety, depression, and excitability.  As Oliver and his new family tackle these all too common issues and practice unconditional love, they learn to coexist and compromise. Until of course Lexi, the new blue eyed puppy shows up and turns Ollie’s life upside down again!

    Through Oliver’s experiences, the author utilizes words such as depression, anxiety, adaptability, unconditional love and understanding to allow parents to elaborate and educate their children whilst bonding and strengthening their relationship through sharing a story and hopefully a few hugs! 

    Paymaneh states, “Making children aware (at their capacity) of important mental and emotional issues surrounding us all, hopefully enables us parents to raise compassionate, understanding and tolerant humans with self-love that extends to all.”

    “Sometimes discussing these issues can be tough when asked by a child, but through “Oliver”, I have found an easy way to approach, describe and in turn create an easy platform regarding these very important issues,” adds Paymaneh.

    Hello, My Name Is Oliver is available on Amazon in Hardcover, softcover or E-book format.

    Thousands of young readers voted for the News-O-Matic “Kid of the Year”. They elected Payton Alexander from Glen Rose, Texas, as the winner for 2016! Payton joins Malala Yousafzai (2012), Vivienne Harr (2013), Mo’Ne Davis (2014), and Madison Tevlin (2015) as the children making the biggest differences in the world.

    Payton, age 10, made $11,000 in just one day with a lemonade stand this summer. Then she gave it all away! Payton was raising money for the families of the police officers killed on July 7 in Dallas. “I wanted to do something,” Payton said. Funds from her stand, “Back the Blue,” went to the families of the fallen officers. “I’m just glad I was able to support them through all the hard things they were going through,” Payton said.

    Just keep doing what you’re doing, and show kindness and compassion to other people.

    Payton Alexander, age 10, News-O-Matic 2016 Kid of the Year

    “All of the ‘Kid of the Year’ candidates had great causes,” wrote 14-year-old News-O-Matic reader Katrina. “But Payton should win,” explained the 14-year-old in the News Room. “The fact that she raised $11,000 in just one day is nothing short of amazing.”

    “Payton is a sweet young lady with a loving and giving heart,” wrote voter BrookLynn, age 10. “She is always thinking of others!”

    “Payton was an inspiration to our entire newsroom in New York City,” said News-O-Matic Editor-in-Chief Russell “Russ” Kahn. “She represents the best of youth engagement,” he explained. “Payton reacted to the news by taking concrete action and found a way to galvanize her community and create a powerful positive reaction.”

    Payton didn’t know she was the winner until a school assembly. Her teachers brought her on stage in the auditorium. Kahn broke the news, and the students cheered! Payton had a message for young readers. “Just keep doing what you’re doing,” said the fourth grader. “And show kindness and compassion to other people.”

    New “EQ” – Emotional Intelligence Line of Products For Young Children by SoftStone, Inc. Excites Educators, Reviewers & Media

    Mt. Laurel, NJ, November 29, 2016 (Newswire.com)
    –
    ​​​SoftStone Products new early childhood teaching and parenting program that develops the 7 attributes of emotional intelligence, known as “EQ” earns coveted Santa Choice Award and Marriah Media Gold Award.  

    SoftStone, Inc. was formed more than 20 years ago in an effort to bring children a program that would develop their social and emotional learning skills. Research indicates that the emotional brain develops the fastest from birth to 6 emphasizing that social and emotional skills are not innate and need to be taught and modeled.

    “Social media provides a great vehicle for teaching these important “EQ” skills online and elsewhere. Our world is inundated with out of control behaviors that cause so much violence and negativity. We welcome SoftStone and the “CJ” product line into the lives of the families that we serve at Marriah Media around the world. Thank you SoftStone for bringing the Creator of Joy! “CJ” to us all.

    Colleen Kelly, President and CEO, Marriah Media

    These skills are 80% the reason we are successful in life. In the “Voices of CJ” program, the featured character CJ, abbreviated for “Creator of Joy,” teaches children the 7 attributes which include empathy, self-confidence and motivation, delaying gratification, self-soothe and calm, forgiveness, sustaining hope and intention and persisting in the face of frustration.

    These skills not only help provide emotional well-being but also help to eliminate the behaviors of bullying and mean harmful voices. Educator, Inventor, Consultant and Early Childhood Development Expert, Karen Stone initiated this concept from her own experiences of having been bullied in addition to her family’s dysfunctional dynamics.

    “Children are exposed endlessly today to media that makes them vulnerable.  Family quality time is seldom a priority with technology present even at the dinner table.  Parenting is more difficult than ever.  This program provides all caregivers of young children a fun, engaging, stimulating adventure into the world of appropriate social and emotional learning,” says Karen Stone.  She adds, “Social media now provides a great vehicle for teaching these skills online.  Our world needs this desperately as we are constantly barraged with the out of control behaviors that cause so much violence and dissidence.”

    The entire SoftStone Product Line, including The “CJ” Parent Package comprised of CJ, the children’s book, “Joy, What A Way To Feel,” and a parent guide,” A Guide to Teach the 7 EQ Abilities at home,”  with activities to build these skills as part of the family’s daily activities is available on Amazon. 

    The EQforChildren.com website provides games and activities for parents, teachers and children to play together.

    About SoftStone Products: SoftStone, CJ and his family of characters hope to heighten the awareness of the importance of raising the new generation of children with emotional intelligence. Children with emotional intelligence are able to sustain their lives with an emotional well-being and awareness that promotes kindness, compassion, accountability, resilience, and peaceful, loving environments. We hope to leave them a legacy of a more genuine world.

    About Karen Stone: Karen Stone, BA, Special Ed, MA, Learning Disabilities, has worked in the education field for more than 45 years and has authored an anti-bullying blog:  www.howwestopbullying.com.  This blog is an outgrowth of Karen’s education background and her own experiences being bullied from childhood to early adulthood, at home and school. Her new EQ blog on EQforChildren.com addresses a positive approach to helping children address harmful voices.  Karen’s work is also influenced by her experiences raising a son with significant disabilities. She has committed to having persons with disabilities reproduce and distribute a selection of her materials.

    Colorado Springs, CO, November 23, 2016 (Newswire.com)
    –
    ​Author and science educator J.G. Kemp is pleased to announce the release of “Mary Andromeda and the Amazing Eye”, the first book in a science-education fiction series for middle-grade readers, written in the tradition of adventures such as “Harry Potter” and “A Series of Unfortunate Events”.

    Brimming with mystery, suspense, and the wonders of the night sky, Mary Andromeda and the Amazing Eye is available now through Amazon and most national book sellers, in print and eBook.

    “Mary Andromeda and the Amazing Eye is about an 11 year old girl, who finds herself on a mysteriously abandoned island, where she and four other children explore the vacant estates-of-science left behind by a secret society.”

    J.G. Kemp, Author

    “As a high school science teacher, I noticed that many of my students, when they were younger, read a lot of fantasy adventure,” said J.G. Kemp.  “I searched and searched, and read books my own 9 year old daughter was reading, and I couldn’t find an adventure series that revolved around real science, so I started writing one.”

    “Mary Andromeda and the Amazing Eye is about an 11 year old girl, who finds herself on a mysteriously abandoned island, where she and four other children explore the vacant estates-of-science left behind by a secret society,” Mr. Kemp explained.  “And while solving the mystery of the island, and her own past, Mary discovers a love of astronomy.”

    “The book creatively explores myth, science history (with references to Galileo’s Starry Messenger for example), and science methods and discoveries, such as how to photograph the Andromeda Galaxy, but most of all, the story is exciting, and my hope is that readers will absorb some science and wonder as they are swept away on the adventure.”

    Although the book is directed at 8-12 year olds, “my team of reviewers and readers of all ages have enjoyed the story, especially teachers and people with a background or career in science.”

    “The book could be particularly useful for 5th or 6th grade teachers who are looking for something to give to students who finish a lesson early or who love to read.  There are so many science-education kits and websites and videos out there, but I don’t know of any exciting science-education novels for this audience and I hope to fill that gap.”

    A great read and a great gift for anyone who loves science and adventure, this is a one-of-a-kind, enormously fun, and educational book:  Mary Andromeda and the Amazing Eye, by J.G. Kemp.

    Summary:

    Like the mythical princess Andromeda, who was chained to a rock by her parents and left to be devoured by a terrible sea monster, 11 year old Mary Andromeda is powerless – held captive in her cruel uncle’s mansion since her mother left her, six years ago. But when an unexpected gift and a sudden turn of events brings her to Evergreen Isle, a mysteriously abandoned island-of-science, she begins to learn the truth: about her mother’s departure, the plans of a secret society, and her own place in an ancient family of astronomers.

    In the first book of The Journals of Evergreen Isle series, author J.G. Kemp weaves the wonder of astronomy, technology, and science history into a fast-paced, adventure mystery, set in the near future.

    About the Series:

    The Journals of Evergreen Isle series is a middle grade, adventure mystery, science education book series by author, illustrator, and science educator J.G. Kemp.  The series follows the adventures of five children as they discover their hidden past and their connection to Evergreen Isle, the mysteriously abandoned island-of-science developed by the Royal Fellowship Society, an elite and secretive group of scientific nobility. 

    Events and people in science history, science content, emerging technologies, and perennial issues involving science and society, are seamlessly woven together with an unrestrained tone of wonder in this fast-paced, coming-of-age, adventure.  The series highlights science practices such as problem solving, collaboration, skepticism, and most importantly, curiosity.

    About the Author:

    Before beginning The Journals of Evergreen Isle book series, J.G. Kemp taught high school Physical Science, Earth and Space Science, Biology, and Physics.  He holds degrees in both Educational Curriculum and Instruction, and Visual and Performing Arts, from the University of Colorado.  He enjoys mountain climbing, stargazing, visiting National Parks, and exploring alleyways and old trails.  He lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA, with his family, abundant sunshine, a glorious backyard garden, and the great mountain ever calling him home.

    We are proud to say that every client that has used our consulting services for CARF accreditation has received their accreditation.

    Marcus Hansen, Founder and CEO
