    Implementing best practices, resources, and citizen activism to promote smart public policy solution

    WESTPORT, Conn., January 18, 2019 (Newswire.com)
    –
     Greg Kraut, member of the Westport Representative Town Meeting and former candidate for the 136th State Representative District, today unveiled The Economic Policy Project, a groundbreaking solutions-first institute designed to work with — and educate — government leaders. The project is dedicated to filling a void for Connecticut’s fiscal challenges by combining the best ideas from all political parties and from across the country.

    The institute’s mission is to promote smart, bipartisan public policy solutions to stimulate job growth, strengthen education, revitalize the state’s transportation network, promote sustainable budgeting, optimize revenue streams and limit debt and wasteful spending.

    “I started The Economic Policy Project to provide policymakers access to specialized solutions and thoughtful analysis in order to make smarter economic policy decisions that advance Connecticut’s prosperity,” said Greg Kraut, Founding Solutionist for The Economic Policy Project. “Our state needs all the help it can get to meet the economic and social challenges it is facing today. There are so many bright people in the private sector who want to help and don’t have the time to run for office. The Economic Policy Project is a way for ordinary citizens to become engaged in the process and become a trusted resource for government officials to make smarter, more informed decisions.”

    During his campaign for the 136th State Representative District, Kraut launched a 21-point economic recovery plan that serves as a catalyst for The Economic Policy Project. Kraut remains determined to offer solutions that make use of best practices from other states and from other cities to move Connecticut forward. His economic recovery plan identifies $1 billion in immediate new, non-taxpayer revenue sources needed to balance the state’s budget and grow the economy.

    “Many people, both Democrats and Republicans, reached out to me after the election to continue helping our state, and they also wanted a platform to enact real change,” said Kraut. “We are harnessing all of the social capital of our most intelligent citizens to be put to work. We want to give the state’s government officials the tools to make smart financial decisions and encourage them to use as a non-partisan resource.”

    LOS ANGELES, July 27, 2018 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Bid4Assets.com will host Los Angeles County’s tax-defaulted properties sale, auctioning 1,011 tax-defaulted properties online this August 2018. The online auction will include a mix of vacant lots, including land zoned residential, commercial and acreage. All properties will open at a low starting bid of $1,426, except for three items with multiple parcels sold in blocks. No reserve price will be set, so the properties will sell to the highest bidder, regardless of price.

    Following an annual in-person tax-defaulted property auction in October 2017 and follow-up online auction in December 2017, Los Angeles County is once again hosting an online sale through auction website Bid4Assets.com. The August 2018 online sale will expose properties to a wider range of buyers in order to return more distressed properties to the tax rolls. Funds generated support essential county services, which can face shortfalls when taxes go unpaid.

    “We’re honored to serve Los Angeles County in conducting their public auction for tax-defaulted properties,” says Jesse Loomis, CEO of Bid4Assets. “The hope is always that the auction will prompt property owners to pay their taxes and redeem the properties. When that doesn’t happen, we auction the property and find a new buyer. If there aren’t enough bidders in the local market, we bring a database of hundreds of thousands of nationwide real estate bidders to the auction.”

    Auctions will open Aug. 4 at 6 p.m. ET (3 p.m. PT) and begin closing at staggered times between 11 a.m. ET (8 a.m. PT) and 5:50 p.m. ET (2:50 p.m. PT) on Aug. 7. A free Bid4Assets account is required to participate in the sale. Bidders must submit a $5,035 deposit to qualify for bidding. Deposits are due by July 31. You can view a list of properties available in the sale at www.bid4assets.com/losangeles.

    IEEE-USA TX Delegation Call on Congress to Support Investments in Research and Development

    [ad_1]

    Press Release

    updated: May 8, 2017


    Washington, D.C., May 5, 2017 (Newswire.com)
    –
    ​​​​An IEEE-USA delegation from Texas traveled to Washington, D.C. to express the importance of research and development activities to the nation’s economic growth, competitiveness and national security.

    The IEEE-USA TX delegation which included the current president of IEEE-USA Karen Pederson, president-elect Sandra Robinson, and current chair of the R&D policy committee Brendan Godfrey, joined with more than 150 scientists, engineers and business leaders who made visits on Capitol Hill as part of the Twentieth “Congressional Visits Day”, an annual event by the Science-Engineering-Technology Work Group on April 25 and 26.

    “It’s demonstrably true that the United States owes a great deal of its remarkable economic success, to its people’s audacious spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship, as well as basic scientific research, which stood as a key enabler for the American industrial might and its lead in technological innovation.”

    Mina J Hanna, Senior Application Consultant, Synopsys Inc.

    The visit came only a week before Congress released the FY17 spending bill which includes funding levels for key federal science agencies, including the National Science Foundation, the Department of Defense Office of Science and Technology, the National Institutes of Health and NASA. All of which received increased funding above the FY16 level.

    While visiting congressional offices, the IEEE-USA TX delegation discussed the importance of the nation’s broad portfolio of federal investments in science, engineering and technology to promoting our country’s prosperity and innovation. Most importantly, they provided a constituent perspective on the local and national impact of these programs and their significance to the Austin, Houston and Dallas metropolitan areas. Moreover, they spoke about the IEEE-USA legislative priorities that include taking active measures to strengthen America’s K-12 STEM education programs and improving America’s patenting and copyright system to keep it accessible to entrepreneurs and small businesses in the U.S.

    More than 50 percent of all industrial innovation and growth in the United States since World War II can be attributed to advances pioneered through scientific research, with publicly funded R&D constituting the vital foundation for today’s scientific and technological progress. Achievements from federally funded science, engineering and technology include global environmental monitoring, lasers, liquid crystal displays, the Internet, among many other scientific and technical advances.

    The federal government supports a unique research and education enterprise that fuels the American economy. This enterprise provides the underpinning of high-technology industries and expands the frontiers of knowledge in every field of science. Much of this research is carried out at academic institutions in Texas including The University of Texas system, Texas A&M, Rice University and The University of Houston and many other institutions across the country, ensuring knowledge transfer to future generations of scientists, engineers, mathematicians, physicians and teachers. Additionally, technology transfer from academic research adds billions of dollars to the economy each year and supports tens of thousands of jobs.

    Supporting the innovative scientific enterprise of the United States has consistently enjoyed bipartisan support. CVD was a valuable opportunity for the IEEE-USA delegation to reiterate the paramount importance of our lawmakers continuing their support for federally funded fundamental research despite tight fiscal constraints and the current tumultuous political climate. “It’s demonstrably true that the United States owes a great deal of its remarkable economic success, to its people’s audacious spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship, as well as basic scientific research which stood as a key enabler for the American industrial might and its lead in technological innovation.” said Mina J Hanna, a member of the delegation. He added “I am very pleased to see Congress making science a priority in the FY17 appropriations bill and I look forward for a similar prioritization in the FY18 bill.”

    During the visit, U.S. Senators Cory Gardner (CO) and Gary Peters (MI) were awarded the George E. Brown Award for outstanding leadership in support of Federal R&D. They were recognized for their outstanding efforts to advance and promote science, engineering and technology on Capitol Hill.

    The Science-Engineering-Technology Work Group is an information network comprising professional, scientific and engineering societies, institutions of higher learning, and trade associations. The sponsors represent more than one million researchers and professions in science and engineering. The Work Group is concerned about the future vitality of the U.S. science, mathematics, and engineering enterprise.

    –
     The month of April is a time of chaos and stress for many taxpayers. April 15th is just around the corner; it is essential to make contributions to your IRA before its deadline.

    With stock market volatility and fear of the market bubble that is expected to burst, an increasing number investors are steering away from paper backed assets and moving towards precious metals like gold and silver to provide a hedge against inevitable economic crisis.

    If you act today:
    Goldco is providing an exclusive offer to those who invest in a new Gold IRA before April 15.

    This exclusive offer will not be available for long. The deadline is April 15. Qualifying members will receive up to $3,000 in free silver coins for rolling over their IRA or 401(k) into gold or silver.

    It is important to open a Gold IRA before this deadline. By doing so, qualified investors maximize their potential for success by making a contribution of up to $6,500 (depending on age) for the prior year.

    “We are getting so many phone calls from investors who are wary of the market’s volatility levels. Our goal is to get as many people as possible on the safe side before it’s too late,” says Trevor Gerszt, CEO of Goldco.

    Rolling over a current IRA or 401(k) into a safe haven asset is the smartest decision investors could make, especially with the situation the markets are in today.

    The volatile stock markets are a continual concern for investors. More Americans are looking to protect their financial future by investing in a Gold IRA. There’s no better time to act than today while this limited time offer still lasts.

In 2015, they ranked number 30 on the Los Angeles Business Journal’s list of 100 Fastest Growing Private Companies in Los Angeles County.

    Jun 17, 2016


    Brisbane, Australia, June 17, 2016 (Newswire.com)
    –
    ​​​​​Melbourne-based Eikonic R&D Pty Ltd, “Eikonic” yesterday announced that it is the winner of $100K in a global competition initiated by a partnership between the Queensland Government and Johnson & Johnson Innovation. The competition was seeking novel and  disruptive human healthcare innovations to address unmet medical needs. The funding will assist EIKONIC in the development and commercialisation of its nanotechnology-inspired, preventive topical application for the treatment of gum disease.

    At least half of the world’s population experiences some form of gum disease, a disease with links to many chronic non-communicable diseases, for example: diabetes, heart disease and arthritis. It is a huge market problem that hasn’t been solved. It affects the supporting structures around the teeth and, when not treated, can result in tooth loss. It affects quality of life as people can’t eat properly and may suffer from physical, psychological, and social disability.

    Oral health is a basic human right and we believe we have a solution for the prevention of gum disease; a solution, which may positively impact other chronic diseases and significantly reduce dental and medical costs worldwide. Every man, woman and child should have access to these products.

    Ingrid Rodriguez, Founder & Managing Director

    Eikonic’s Founder and MD Ingrid Rodriguez said, “We are extremely grateful to the Queensland Government and Johnson & Johnson Innovation for their commitment to human healthcare innovation and support of our company. Oral health is a basic human right and we believe we have a solution for the prevention of gum disease; a solution, which may positively impact other chronic diseases and significantly reduce dental and medical costs worldwide. Every man, woman and child should have access to these products. This funding will help us deliver on our objective of an easy to use, daily applied, topical application, avoiding the need for conventional complex, costly and invasive procedures. As a state and country, we need to focus on innovation through research and development in order to ensure that Australian research and innovation remains at the forefront of global health solutions. This funding reflects a public and private partnership approach to supporting research and development.”

    This latest funding represents a significant milestone for this social enterprise company headquartered in Melbourne, Australia.

    Eikonic will work with a number of Queensland-based academic partners and contract research organisations to help further validate the technology. This work will accelerate the development of the technology, thus bringing it closer to the patients that need it the most.

    About EIKONIC R&D PTY LTD

    EIKONIC R&D PTY LTD is a Melbourne-based company developing nanotechnology-based compounds for the prevention of oral diseases, in particular gum disease and tooth decay. The company’s vision is to benefit human wellbeing through oral healthcare by driving improvements through the delivery of innovative oral healthcare products.

    About Gum Disease

    Gum disease impacts fifty to ninety percent of global population and prevalence increases with age. Current treatments take the form of physically scraping the tooth and root surface as well as surgery, which are mostly invasive, painful and expensive. Therapeutics exist in the form of gels, rinses, paste and antibiotics, but they don’t solve the problem. The global treatment market for gum disease is approximately worth USD $2B. It’s a treatment market that doesn’t address prevention.
