It’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil Month at Ruccello Olive Oil and to Celebrate They’re Offering Free Shipping on All Online Orders

Leave a comment

It’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) Month at Ruccello Olive Oil, so to celebrate, Ruccello is offering free shipping on all online orders through June.

Monterey, CA, June 13, 2018 — It’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) Month at Ruccello Olive Oil, so to celebrate, Ruccello is offering free shipping on all online orders through June.

Just use coupon code FREESHIP when ordering from ruccellooliveoil.com.

Ruccello Olive Oil, founded in 2017 by Monterey native RoseAnne Ruccello-Fischer, specializes in Extra Virgin Olive Oils from the Tuscany region in of Italy and from California, as well as hand-crafted olive wood items, olive oil soaps and lotions and handmade aprons. Coming this summer, she will be offering Balsamic vinegars.

Ruccello is committed to educating the consumer on the many health benefits of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and how to be a discerning consumer through olive oil tastings, olive oil and food pairing events and house parties showcasing EVOO.

There is actually quite a bit of research on the health effects of olive oil, especially Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Studies show that the mono-unsaturated fats and antioxidants in EVOO have some powerful health benefits, such as a reduced risk of heart disease.

According to healthline.com, here is why EVOO is often considered the “healthiest fat on Earth”:

> Real “extra virgin” olive oil is 100% natural and very high in antioxidants. Many of the lower quality olive oils have been processed and adulterated with cheaper oils.

> Olive oil is very high in monounsaturated fats and contains a modest amount of vitamins E and K. True EVOO is loaded with antioxidants, some of which have powerful health benefits.

> Olive oil contains oleic acid and oleocanthal, nutrients that can fight inflammation. This may be the main reason for olive oil’s health benefits.

> EVOO may be one of the healthiest foods you can eat for heart health. It lowers blood pressure, protects LDL particles from oxidation, reduces inflammation and may help prevent unwanted blood clotting.

> Although mostly studied for its effects on heart health, olive oil consumption has also been associated with a number of other health benefits, including fighting cancer and Alzheimer’s Disease. There is preliminary evidence for these health benefits, but this needs to be confirmed in human controlled trials.

> Olive oil, which contains mostly monounsaturated fatty acids (only one double bond), is actually fairly resistant to high heat. In one study, researchers heated EVOO to 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit) for 36 hours. The oil was highly resistant to damage. Another study used olive oil for deep frying, and it took 24-27 hours for it to reach damage levels that were deemed harmful. So, overall, EVOO seems to be very safe… even for cooking at a fairly high heat.

>EVOO is most definitely a “superfood,” however, it is extremely important to get the right stuff. That is, EVOO that hasn’t been diluted with cheaper oils or even mislabeled as EVOO.

“Consumers know that olive oil is good for you, but there are a lot of myths about it out there,” says Ruccello. “I want to share what I’ve learned and I want to provide a product that people can trust and feel safe in the knowledge that the products are of the highest quality.”

Go Quantum Today in Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Abu Dhabi, Stockholm, London, Singapore, HK and Mexico City

Leave a comment

The Quantum Computing Workshop for Today’s Strategic Leaders will help CEOs from chemical manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies to oil and gas conglomerates, from aerospace and defense to financial services firms to put Quantum Computing in the works in Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Abu Dhabi, Stockholm, London, Singapore, Hong Kong and Mexico City.

New York City, NY, USA — Today’s computing machinery, which has brought incredible technological innovations over the past decades, still relies on calculations with 1s and 0s, even if the devices are orders of magnitude smaller than the stadium-sized systems of the previous century. Quantum Computing (QC), computing technology’s next generation, holds the promise of new machines operating at one million times the speed of current computers, allowing scientists, for example, to model complex molecular interactions at an atomic level.

QC replaces today’s Boolean logic with quantum law at the algorithmic level. For optimization, sampling or search problems, this promises dramatic speedups. QC will enable solving a set of problems that couldn’t be solved before or could take forever on a classical super computer.

QC’s benefits include efficiently simulating much larger molecules, effectively minimizing the overhead to run complex logistical operations and dramatically reducing the time for advanced portfolio construction optimization, among many others applications.

Furthermore, in the same way that combustion engines and microprocessors once redefined entire industries, QC heralds today the advent of as yet unimagined realms, while also opening new radical avenues for existing industries, such as finance, pharma, oil and gas, and even the acceleration of artificial intelligence.

The Quantum Computing Workshop for Today’s Strategic Leaders (http://www.gldnacademy.com/quantum-computing-microprocessor-qubit-cryptography-superposition-entanglement-programming-artificial-intelligence-api.html) will show CEOs how to learn to harness the opportunities unveiled by Quantum Computing, how to identify challenges and how to prepare their organizations for what the future holds. Powerful quantum computers will model all 19,000+ proteins in the human genome and simulate how new drugs can cure everything from the common cold to cancer.

Attendees to these 2-day workshops organized by GLDNAcademy.com (http://www.gldnacademy.com) in Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Abu Dhabi, Stockholm, London, Singapore, Hong Kong and Mexico City will:

• To meet fellow leaders, entrepreneurs, executives, managers, investors and regulators looking for the industry insights that will move the needle in their organizations
• To become part of the most engaging professional network of leaders in the world
• To engage with an experienced faculty that exhibits the deepest knowledge across the most practical and challenging matters that really matter for businesses today

ABOUT GLDNACADEMY.COM

The Shop Local Network welcomes Jalapeno’s in Schererville as a new Shop Local Mission Partner

Leave a comment

Jalapeno’s Restaurant, located at 200 US-41 in Schererville, Indiana, is committed to serving its guests with authentic and traditional Mexican dishes.

LaPorte, Indiana, June 07, 2018 – Jalapeno’s Restaurant, located at 200 US-41 in Schererville, Indiana, is committed to serving its guests with authentic and traditional Mexican dishes. Nick Bello, President of The Shop Local Network states, “When you walk through the doors, you can tell they are the real deal. The food is amazing and their loyalty rewards program keep you coming back!”

Some of their classic Mexican foods include tamales, enchiladas, and fajitas. The food at Jalapeno’s restaurant compliments the memorable flavors from the stand in Mexico. They also have a family oriented and authentic atmosphere.

Being in a Northwest Indiana neighborhood, they are able to offer affordable, yet traditional dishes including enchiladas, steak tacos and chilesrellenos, plus more ambitious fare like steak Milanesa and Camarones Al Mojo De Ajo. There are margaritas in fruity flavors like mango and strawberry, plus about 70 tequilas for those who prefer their agave solo. They serve only the finest meats and the freshest vegetables. They make their food from scratch using only the freshest ingredients available. They create their own recipes mixing old recipes and contemporary ones. They also offer seating on the patio that has an outside bar and waterfalls. Jalapeno’s also offers catering. For those who wish to stay after dinner for a fun evening, they offer karaoke, live music, and some of the areas top djs. On Friday nights the large dining room is transformed into Woodhollow Nightclub with live dj’s and dancing to the hottest hits of today. So if you just want to stop in for a margarita and some great food or make it an entire evening, Jalapenos has got you covered.

One customer Bill Norris stated, “We are always on the hunt for great food. Being foodies we get leary of a commercialized location like most chain stores that claim to be authentic. When an authentic family member tells you it reminds him of his childhood, it is probably a good indication. Very good traditional food.Big selections of tequilas.Friendly, knowledgeable waitstaff.Reasonable prices. Definitely for goes previous skepticism,”

Something that is kind of unique, if you write a google review for this restaurant, the owner responds to all of the comments. It doesn’t matter if the comment is good or bad, he will thank the customer, or he will apologize if someone was unhappy and make a suggestion.

So, are you ready to go eat some authentic Mexican food? You can go to their website or give them a call to see their hours or hear about their current specials.

Jake Reisdorf and Carmel Honey Co. Selected as Small Business of the Year Honoree for California Small Business Day 2018

Leave a comment

Jake Residorf and The Carmel Honey Co. have been selected by Assemblymember Mark Stone as a Small Business of the Year honoree for California Small Business Day 2018.

Carmel, CA, June 05, 2018 — Jake Residorf and The Carmel Honey Co. have been selected by Assemblymember Mark Stone as a Small Business of the Year honoree for California Small Business Day 2018.

Carmel Honey Co. will be honored at the Small Business Day awards luncheon Tuesday, June 19, at the Sacramento Convention Center.

California Small Business Day 2018 is the result of Assembly Resolution HR-57 that passed unanimously in 2000. The purpose of the day is to “Recognize the Contributions Small Business makes to California.” Since then the California Small Business Association has honored more than 1,500 small businesses in the state of California. The day brings small business leaders, legislators, and state agencies together to celebrate small business.

“It’s a great honor to represent my District. I was super excited to learn that I’m the only beekeeper to receive this award but also the youngest person,” said Reisdorf, who founded Carmel Honey Co. when he was 11 years old and is currently attending Carmel High School. “I’m looking forward to meeting Assemblymember Stone in person, the other honorees and especially touring the State Capitol.”

About Carmel Honey Company:

Jake Reisdorf is the chief beekeeper and owner with his family of Carmel Honey Company, which he started as part of a school project where his teacher assigned professions to each student and directed them to research the profession and build a presentation on it.

While researching his assigned profession of website designer, Jake, 11 years old at the time, decided to take it one step further and actually create a real website. At that time, Jake had taken one beekeeping class with his Dad and thought it would be cool to design a website about honey bees.

Not only did Jake get an “A” on the project, it inspired him and spurred him to start Carmel Honey Company.

His passion for honey bees grew as he learned about Colony Collapse Disorder and real honey. Expanding his research and education drove Jake to learn more about honey and bees and ultimately decide it was critical to give back.

The “Jake Gives Back” program includes sharing honey bee knowledge with kids and adults of all ages. Whether he is in a classroom speaking to first-grade students, or at a corporate event talking with business owners and seasoned professionals, his passion and appreciation of how honey bees impact our world is infectious. He also “gives back” by making a financial donation to honey bee research and education organizations.

Jake currently attends Carmel High School and keeps his knowledge of apiology (the scientific study of bees) current by continuing to manage his own honey bee hives and attending industry conferences throughout the country.

New Artificial Intelligence Workshop Rocking India, Malaysia, South Korea, UAE, Sweden, HK and Mexico

Leave a comment

The Deep Learning / Artificial Intelligence Workshop for Today’s Strategic Leaders will provide key insights into current and future developments for machine and deep learning, with particular emphasis on what organizations in Mumbai, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Abu Dhabi, Stockholm, Hong Kong and Mexico City can do today to leverage this revolutionary technology and apply it to their most pressing challenges.

New York City, NY, USA — Top executives of organizations around the world have heard a lot about artificial intelligence (AI). Within AI, there is machine learning, a technology that enables computers to get better at tasks with more practice. Furthermore, within machine learning, there is deep learning, which involves algorithms by which computers train themselves using multi-layered neural networks (inspired by the human brain) and vast quantities of data.

Deep learning allows computational models that are composed of multiple processing layers to learn representations of data with multiple levels of abstraction. These methods have dramatically improved speech recognition, visual object recognition, object detection and many other domains such as financial trading, transportation, drug discovery and genomics. Deep learning effective and efficiently discovers intricate structure in large data sets by using algorithms to indicate how a machine should change its internal weights and biases that are used to compute the representation in each layer from the representation in the contiguous layer, which have brought about breakthroughs in processing images, video, speech, audio and financial data.

The Deep Learning Workshop for Today’s Strategic Leaders focuses on practical applications of artificial intelligence for businesses using TensorFlow, the most widely-used deep learning framework from Google. Deep learning is already impacting every part of business today; in fact, PwC has warned that automation could replace 38% of all American jobs by 2030. Deep learning will continue to be a rich source of insights from ever-growing data sets being evaluated by powerful algorithms, enabling companies to make better decisions.
