After an intensive search, the Company has identified a well-known firm with a capable team that may be engaged to help with regulatory clearance of the treatment for worldwide treatment of patients.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease in which the immune system of the individual attacks the central nervous system and affects the nerve cells.

There are many different symptoms of MS, including fatigue, numbness, walking and balance problems, bladder dysfunction, bowel dysfunction, vision problems, dizziness and vertigo, sexual dysfunction, pain, cognitive dysfunction, emotional changes, depression and spasticity.

There is no known cure using current treatments and is the most common immune-mediated disorder affecting the central nervous system.

BRIGHTSPACE INTEGRATION WITH MICROSOFT TEAMS IS NOW LIVE

D2L Enhancing Online Learning Through Collaboration

Kitchener, Waterloo, Dec. 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — D2L, a global learning technology leader, announced today that its Brightspace learning management system (LMS) will now seamlessly integrate with Microsoft Teams, one of the leading online collaboration platforms, for customers in North America and Europe.

The newly introduced Brightspace Course Connector for Microsoft Teams, which went live on October 1, will allow educators to create a private Teams space for courses in the Brightspace platform with a single click and without having to enter any additional logins. Once created, educators and learners will be able to open their Teams space from within the Brightspace course.

The integration combines the strength and versatility of Brightspace as a learning platform with the power of Teams to bring people together as colleagues and co-learners. For example, user enrollments will now be automatically synchronized between the two platforms. To utilize Teams within the Brightspace platform, users will need a Microsoft 365 license.

“The Brightspace and Microsoft Teams integration has allowed our faculty and students to chat and collaborate with ease from within the LMS,” says Jeffrey Schwarts, Manager of Instructional Technology at Loyola Marymount University. “Collaborating and building community online can be difficult, and this new functionality has been a valuable addition to our academic technology suite, especially while we’re all teaching and learning online due to COVID.”

“We’re thrilled to take this collaboration with Microsoft Teams live for our customers in North America and Europe. It’s making the learning experience richer and much more collaborative, and furthering D2L’s goal to deliver quality online learning experiences versus basic remote learning,” says David Koehn, SVP, Product Management at D2L. “Online learning is a fact of life because of COVID. We’re always looking for ways to make the experience as seamless and engaging as possible. Course Connector is a major step in that direction.”

“It has always been important for educators and learners to have the online tools they need but today, in a world where the digitization of education is imperative, it has never been more important to help students succeed,” said Marc Seaman, VP of Education at Microsoft Canada. “At Microsoft, we have always believed in putting the best technology in the hands of educators and learners and, working with D2L gives us another opportunity to do exactly that.”

Verizon becomes official 5G innovation partner to Simon Fuller


Companies partner to create the future of immersive entertainment

What you need to know:

  • Verizon and Simon Fuller, guiding light behind the Spice Girls, legendary creator of the American Idol franchise and founder of XIX Entertainment, announce a new partnership which aims to transform storytelling and entertainment using 5G
    Ultra Wideband
    and extended reality (XR).

  • XIX
    will work in collaboration with Verizon’s XR Lab, 5G Labs and Verizon’s engineers to craft and deliver new storytelling formats and experiences.

  • The
    first project to emerge from this game-changing partnership to be a short-form immersive video that can be experienced in virtual reality (
    VR), coming early next year.

NEW YORK, Dec. 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Verizon is teaming with Simon Fuller, guiding light behind the Spice Girls, legendary creator of the American Idol franchise and founder of XIX Entertainment, to transform storytelling and entertainment using 5G, virtual reality (VR) and extended reality (XR). Verizon will work with Simon and his XIX team to conceptualize and create a sequence of new entertainment experiences powered by Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband. XIX will be collaborating with Verizon’s XR and 5G Labs to craft new storytelling experiences. The content that Verizon and XIX create together will be optimized for audiences empowered with 5G-connected devices or next-gen entertainment devices like VR headsets or AR glasses.

The companies’ first project is expected to be a short-form VR experience designed by Fuller and his team using custom, industry-leading 360 Stereoscopic 3D cameras and maximizing the visual and audio fidelity of VR headsets, to create superior and more immersive experiences.

“By leveraging 5G Ultra Wideband and XR capabilities, we’re able to create immersive stories that relay emotional depth and bring the wider possibility of what 5G means for entertainment into view,” said Erin McPherson, Head of Consumer Content and Programming at Verizon. “Simon’s track record in creating game-changing moments in popular culture speaks for itself and this first project is the tip of the iceberg. We can’t wait to show how the massive bandwidth, super-fast speeds and ultra-low latency of Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband can forever change this new generation of entertainment.”

Simon Fuller has a successful track record in the use of future-facing technology that engages with audiences in innovative and unexpected ways. In 2002, Fuller’s creation American Idol became the first network TV show to encourage television viewers to vote in the millions for their favorite singers by texting on their smartphones. Two years later Fuller’s iTunes deal with Steve Jobs and Apple for Idol music downloads presaged the huge surge in sales of iPods across America; later partnerships with superstar talent and fast growing platforms further reflect his standing as a thought leader in global entertainment and technology.

“I am a huge believer in the powerful creative impact Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband will bring to the entertainment industry, suddenly what previously could only be imagined, is now a reality,” said Simon Fuller, XIX founder. “The quantity of information and quality of the imagery that can now be shared in near real time, enabling interaction with friends and streamed content instantaneously, is a complete game changer. This will transform the way people connect with each other and experience entertainment. Our partnership with Verizon allows us to explore and define a whole new approach to creativity in this immersive world.”

SwaddleDesigns Cotton Flannel Face Masks are the Best Masks for Cold Winter Weather

Made in USA, SwaddleDesigns Cotton Flannel Masks Help Stop COVID-19 Spread and Keep Your Face Comfortably Warm

Seattle, WA, Dec. 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In the winter months, in the era of COVID, when all Americans should wear face masks, SwaddleDesigns cotton flannel face masks play a dual role – to help stop COVID spread and to protect one’s face from winter chill.

SwaddleDesigns cotton flannel masks are the best cool weather masks for the whole family. Children, teens and adults love SwaddleDesigns cotton flannel cozy softness.

Made in the USA using premium cotton flannel, SwaddleDesigns cotton flannel face masks are comfortable, secure, and feel soft on your face.

Designed by Lynette Damir, RN, SwaddleDesigns cotton flannel masks are fitted to provide smooth coverage of cheeks, nose, and mouth. The cotton flannel face masks are incredibly soft, because SwaddleDesigns uses award-winning Ultimate Swaddle Blanket cotton flannel that has been used by millions of new parents to welcome their newborn baby. 

“When our customers tell us that SwaddleDesigns cotton flannel masks are absolutely their favorite masks, it is a wonderful feeling to know that our masks are providing them with comfort and protection during this difficult time,” said Lynette Damir, RN, founder and CEO of SwaddleDesigns. “With winter cold temperatures, it is time to use a cotton flannel mask, because the masks that kept your face cool in the summer months are not designed for cold weather.”

 “It’s an important time for Americans to protect one another from this contagious airborne virus by wearing a mask that covers both their mouth and nose,” continued Lynette. “As the surge builds momentum, it is crucial for more Americans to MaskUp using a well-designed mask that fully covers their nose.”

In March 2020, SwaddleDesigns converted their US baby blanket factory to start production of reusable cloth masks. Using her healthcare background, textile expertise, and scientific studies on masks, Lynette designed reusable cloth masks with a focus on comfort and secure fit. In early 2020, Wake Forest researchers concluded that cotton flannel was one of the best fabrics for effective droplet filtration.

SwaddleDesigns collection features face masks for the whole family with Large, Medium, and Child sizes.

SwaddleDesigns offers custom printing for schools, business, organizations, and government customers.

Based in Seattle, SwaddleDesigns is woman-owned busines and founded by Lynette Damir, RN.

Insight, Microshare Partner on IoT-based Contact Tracing to Help Prevent Spread of Disease

Insight, Microshare Partner on IoT-based Contact Tracing to Help Prevent Spread of Disease

The Insight Connected Platform combined with Microshare’s wearable sensing technology accelerate the ability for organizations to quickly perform contact tracing while maintaining user privacy

TEMPE, Ariz.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Insight Enterprises (NASDAQ: NSIT), the global integrator of Insight Intelligent Technology Solutions™ for organizations of all sizes, today announced the wearable Insight Connected Platform™ for Contact Tracing solution in collaboration with Microshare Inc., a Philadelphia-based data solutions company.

As another facet of the Insight Connected Platform for Detection and Prevention, the contact tracing solution helps prioritize both the health and privacy of customers and employees. It empowers organizations to quickly deploy and easily manage an effective system to identify potential infection incidents with greater immediacy. Timing is critical, as up to 79.9% of COVID-19 transmissions can be prevented with immediate tracing and testing, yet effectiveness is reduced to 41.8% after three days and just 4.9% with a seven-day delay, according to clinical research.

With this new solution, simple wearable devices and hardware securely collect contact data, which is aggregated and processed by the Insight Connected Platform, a flexible, scalable Internet of Things (IoT) application for managing people, places, equipment and alerts. Insight’s IoT platform brings together Microshare® Universal Contact Tracing technology, Kerlink® Wanesy wave scanners and industrial-grade LoRaWAN® gateways.

“Well into this pandemic and with a vaccine on the horizon, companies might be reluctant to invest in stand-alone contact-tracing technologies. But this solution and our partnership with Microshare consider broader, enduring needs to safeguard environments and establish smarter facilities,” said Stan Lequin, senior vice president and general manager, Digital Innovation, Insight. “The societal implications of this virus will be long lasting – businesses will be held to new, higher standards when it comes to keeping high-traffic areas sanitized and employees safe and healthy. The same technology being used for contract tracing also can be implemented to solve other business issues.”

The emerging partnership currently has multiple pilot deployments in flight, and both Insight’s and Microshare’s detection and prevention technologies have been previously deployed in retail small businesses, large corporate facilities, factories, residential buildings, hospitals, assisted-living facilities and schools.

Ron Rock, Microshare CEO and co-founder, said: “The Insight Connected Platform represents a step forward in integrating solutions that address COVID-19 and those which lock in the safety and wellness that will be demanded as a requirement of the post-pandemic world. Our collaboration with Insight will accelerate that goal.”

The contact tracing solution helps prevent the spread of disease within a public space by:

  • Helping keep people at safe distances as they return to work (and play) by using Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) sensors on badges, lanyards and wearables
  • Providing real-time visual alerts to gently remind people to keep a safe distance
  • Leveraging location beacons to track where deep cleaning might be needed
  • Sending data to the cloud when a proximity event – two or more people in close contact for a certain period of time – occurs to help track social-distance behaviors and provide updates on areas that need attention
  • Leveraging archived data to run reports and trace sensors of anyone who might have come in contact in the event of a new virus case

The Insight Connected Platform securely aggregates data from all connected devices and systems throughout a facility – from contact tracing and thermal cameras to smart equipment and sensors – via a user-friendly application. The platform simplifies how organizations gain new insights across the business to track trends and receive alerts to drive quicker, intelligent decision-making. The solution also supports roles and permissions to ensure the right data goes to the right people so privacy and security is appropriately maintained.

Insight and Microshare will host a “Contact Tracing 101” webinar on Dec. 10 at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT, explaining what businesses should know about digital contact tracing. Visit insight.com to register for the event.

GUANGZHOU, China, Dec. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIDU) today released new intelligent vehicle solutions for automakers and several high-end intelligent driving products during the second Apollo Ecosystem Conference, reinforcing the company’s commitment to win-win partnerships to propel industry development. Baidu also announced an enhanced Apollo presence in Guangzhou and demonstrated the progress of the Apollo Go Robotaxi service rollout in Beijing, Changsha, and Cangzhou, underscoring both the commercialization prospects and revolutionary potential of intelligent transportation, intelligent vehicles, and autonomous driving.

“The transportation industry and automobile industry are undergoing a once-in-a-century transformation,” said Zhenyu Li, Corporate Vice President of Baidu and General Manager of Intelligent Driving Group (IDG), during the conference. “With its focus on ‘intelligence’, Apollo is helping automakers to build good cars and governments to build good roads through intelligent transformation.”

“Apollo is committed to openness and hopes to work with partners to create a better future for autonomous driving,” Li added, speaking before a crowd of representatives from 500 ecosystem partners at the conference.

Intelligent Solutions and Products for Automakers

At the conference, Baidu released new or upgraded solutions combining hardware and software to help automakers build more intelligent vehicles. Apollo’s four series of solutions include intelligent driving, intelligent cabin, intelligent map, and intelligent cloud. Intelligent cabin solutions are already empowering 600 types of vehicles from over 70 automakers, with DuerOS for Apollo pre-installed on over one million vehicles. Meanwhile, Apollo’s intelligent high-definition map series continued to hold the top market share in 2020 and brought on new automaker partners.

Adding to its existing intelligent driving solutions, Baidu also announced an advanced solution for passenger vehicles called Apollo Navigation Pilot (ANP), which is powered by Apollo’s L4 autonomous driving technology. Baidu had previously announced cooperation with automakers Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAC), Weltmeister, and Great Wall Motors to mass-produce Apollo Valet Parking (AVP), an L4 autonomous parking solution. Apollo’s intelligent driving solutions aim to be pre-installed on one million vehicles over the next three-to-five years, bringing a safe and cutting-edge autonomous driving experience to more consumers.

Building an Intelligent Urban Transportation System

During the event, Guangzhou Huangpu district officially launched an intelligent transportation MaaS (mobility as a service) platform, which will include the deployment of robotaxis, robobuses, and autonomous driving utility vehicles that can perform various functions. The rollout of these autonomous vehicles will cover the core area of Huangpu, where AI roadside sensors and cloud engines are already set up. Baidu and Guangzhou will also cooperate on a new model for Guangzhou’s digital transportation operator that leverages Baidu’s ACE Transportation Engine – a full-stack solution that stands for “Autonomous Driving, Connected Road, Efficient Mobility” – helping the city establish a leading position in autonomous driving new infrastructure.

Apollo Go to Expand to Thirty Cities

Baidu also highlighted various applications and milestones for its world-leading autonomous driving technologies during the conference, especially Apollo Go, which operates robotaxis and robobuses in multiple cities. Already operational in Beijing, Changsha, and Cangzhou, Apollo Go has carried over 210,000 passengers, and plans to expand to roughly 30 cities over the next three years. Baidu also announced a partnership with ride-hailing app Shouqi to allow users to hail a Robotaxi through the app, opening up a new model of commercialization.

Digitization, connectivity, and automation present revolutionary opportunities for the transportation industry, Zhenyu Li stressed at the conference. Apollo will seize these opportunities to create a new growth engine for Baidu – and change the world of transportation in the process.
