Clariti “Workspace” Provides Role-based Data Organization

Allows users to naturally organize their work regardless of their job function.

Fort Lee, NJ – USA | April 29, 2022 — CCE Technologies, Inc., a technology startup based in Fort Lee, New Jersey, announced recent updates to its flagship Clariti software that will allow users across different industries to naturally organize their work regardless of their job function, using Workspaces.

Clariti recently introduced Workspaces as an easy way for businesses to be significantly more productive by providing all the necessary tools teams need for effective internal and external communication.

Users of Clariti can also plan their day with calendar events and store work files securely using Clariti’s built-in cloud storage or third-party integrations. Based on their job functions and roles, users can now create meaningful names to better organize all their work under the relevant Workspace.

“Workspaces are very flexible and can easily be adapted regardless of the user’s job function. It provides a natural framework for users to assign meaningful names to better organize their work. For example, someone in Sales can create Workspaces based on customer names, leads or sales regions. Someone in Marketing can create Workspaces for each marketing campaign, or agency they are working with. Workspaces, by definition, are easily adaptable to the users’ role and is industry or role-agnostic. Regardless of your industry or role, Workspaces provide everything on a particular topic at your fingertips. People don’t need to waste time searching for information and can be exponentially more productive at work,” said Vinay Wagle, V.P. Sales & Marketing at CCE Technologies, Inc.

Reflecto’s Gasless Wallet Is Special for Web3 Technology

User experience on Reflecto’s gasless wallet is perfect because to the usage of web3 technology and traditional web design.

Podgorica, Montenegro | February 19, 2022 — With Reflecto’s Gasless Wallet, the users get the best of both worlds: the simplicity of a traditional wallet combined with the power of a crypto software, all in one place. With Reflecto’s DeFi (Decentralized Finance) technology, the business wants to make bitcoin more accessible for consumers while also empowering individuals to act as their own bank.

Using web3 technology and standard web construction, Reflecto’s gasless wallet provides an easy-to-navigate user experience. To reach the Bitcoin world, all that is required is to open an account on Facebook.

Customers will also be able to use their Visa or Mastercard to buy cryptocurrencies directly, while receiving dividends merely by having REFLECTO and/or RUSD in their wallet.

Because the Gasless Wallet does not charge transaction fees and does not need users to have local currency such as BNB on hand, it will make it easier for them to conduct transactions. Tokens that support meta transactions will be able to take use of this feature. Meta transactions are supported by both RUSD and REFLECTO, and the user will be able to transfer them in a gasless method.

Yet another wallet feature, “claim and earn,” will enable people be paid for using the wallet while also claiming prizes from the wallet. To put it another way, holders of Reflecto and/or RUSD will be able to get dividends twice, or they may manually claim such payments if they are not automatically paid to their accounts as they should be.

On a few of regulated exchange sites, the wallet will have the ability to shift coins. Users will not be needed to connect their wallets, traverse the complexities of decentralised exchanges, or make swaps.. The whole process may be accomplished with a single button click.

Triple-encryption and two-factor authentication for each critical call are included in Reflecto’s Gasless Wallet.

From WWII to the War on Terror – True Stories from Men Who Were There

26 unique perspectives that will take you deep into the ethos of the US Submarine Force.

Nashua, NH – USA | August 24, 2021 — The Silent Service Remembers (Vol. 2) is our fifth effort in the ever-expanding series of books that seek to capture the essence of the US Submarine Force. Featuring the stories, reminisces, and photographs of 26 authors, the volume represents the sequel to the first volume published in 2020 to nearly exclusively five-star reviews on Amazon.

From WWII to The War on Terror – “The Silent Service Remembers (Vol. 2)”

– The words of actual submarine veterans take you into a WWII sub being depth-charged. Or into a ballistic missile sub where crewmen thought they would launch – for real. Or under the Arctic ice cap with nowhere to surface. Plus dozens of more exciting and true stories written by the men who bore witness to them.

– From the Poopie Suits & Cowboy Boots Series of True Submarine Stories.

Inside this book, the many tales will make you laugh, cry, shake your head, and ponder. Along the way, you will learn a little about the core foundations of this proud group of intrepid sailors who volunteered to serve aboard submarines in the defense of the United States.

Painstakingly assembled over a year’s time with great care and featuring a handsome layout that is easy on the eyes, The Silent Service Remembers (Vol. 2) is the perfect read for the submarine veteran or aficionado. At nearly 650 pages in length and containing over 150 vintage photos with captions, this volume will entertain and enlighten the reader for many hours.

The other books by the authors, brothers Charles and Frank Hood, provide a wealth of other information about the US Submarine Force—all true, but none classified—that help the reader to further appreciate the historical importance of this elite group. These titles are Poopie Suits and Cowboy Boots, Sub Tales, More Sub Tales, and, of course, The Silent Service Remembers (Vol. 1).

The authors recognized in 2017 that there was a general lack of submarine books that could appeal to both the old salt and the novice reader. Their books are intended to fill that gap and appeal to a wide audience.  All titles in this series are clearly written and carefully vetted by dozens of submarine veterans for accuracy.  Moreover, the books collectively aspire to convey a real sense of the hopes, fears, and motivations of the men (and now women) who call themselves submariners.

Finally, the authors embarked on this journey by aspiring to raise money for the Charitable Fund of the United States Veterans, Inc., the largest submarine veterans’ group in the US with more than 13,000 members. To this end, all proceeds from books sales were donated to this worthy cause until the ambitious goal of $50,000 was reached in May 2021.

We have striven to write this book in a way that appeals to both the career Navy man/woman and the interested civilian. You will learn a lot about the Silent Service, and our hope is that you also come away with a great deal of respect for the men and missions that continue to this day with no fanfare and little public awareness.

About Poopie Suits Series of True Submarine Stories:

Poopie Suits is a self-publishing group of two brothers, Charles and Frank Hood, who started by detailing Frank’s submarine service during the late 60’s to early 70’s. Each book is richly detailed and clearly written in language that anyone can understand. None of them touch on any classified information. Four of the books are listed in the “Top 100 Cold War Books” by Amazon (including the new release). This is a real-time list, so the positions change every day: https://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/digital-text/10332432011/ref=pd_zg_hrsr_digital-text

Also two of the books are listed in the “Top 100 Submarine Books of All Time” by The Book Authority – https://bookauthority.org/books/best-submarines-books

ARTIST UNITED by Producer Veronica Vitale Celebrates 1 Year and Calls for New Projects

Artist United was created as response to isolation and separation during the 2020 worldwide pandemic and lockdown, with the goal to build a bridge between countries, and bring together creative minds from every nation.

New York, NY – USA | March 15, 2021 — 1 Year Ago Today, March 16th 2020 The Global Inclusive Community for Artists from all Around the World, Artist United founded by International Recording Artist and Composer Veronica Vitale together with her husband American film director Patrick J Hamilton. Artist United was created as response to isolation and separation during the 2020 worldwide pandemic and lockdown, with the goal to build a bridge between countries, and bring together creative minds from every nation.

“Our entire careers are based on the fact that we can freely travel and connect with people and industries, we usually spend 6 months in Italy and 6 in the United States. Last January as we landed in Atlanta for the worldwide release of my most wanted project “Inside The Outsider” we actually ended up stuck there for a year. No way back home. Our families were divided oceans apart, our plans were paused for good and I was dealing with severe loneliness while healing after a severe surgery I got to remove a myoma. I was far from my beloved country and the shocking images of Italy, the deserted Vatican and the Pope walking alone, under the rain in St. Peter Square, the Italian hospitals in a state of collapse were the leading factors that inspired me to compose my Prayer and “Hymn To Humanity – Preghiera per l’Umanitá” which immediately reached over 250.000 streams on Facebook. Hymn to Humanity is the tale of humankind waiting in the shadow of the night for daybreak.” – says Artist Veronica Vitale

Hymn To Humanity was originally sung in Italian English and Hebrew by Veronica Vitale alone, and the very next day after release the Artist decided to create a second version of her song starting a global call for artists to inspire hope and universal brotherhood in times of horror & hardship.

“In my life, I faced bullying, cyberbullying, sexism, and racism. So I HAD to create an alternative “way of doing” music and art, a “place of the way” where all humanity can meet, connecting real audience to real artists and reverse, in a mutual support of their ideas. All Artists are Welcomed.”

The World Choir of “Hymn To Humanity” was performed by 250 voices in 25 languages and all in one song. A Movement who called the attention of the world’s press from Australia, to United States, United Kingdom and Middle East.

Carmel Jewish Film Festival Celebrates 10th Anniversary with Award-Winning Movies, Speakers, Receptions March 7 – 22, 2020

The 10th Annual Carmel Jewish Film Festival (CJFF), featuring 10 films from six countries, noted speakers, and panel discussions, will be held March 7-22, 2020.

Carmel, CA, November 07, 2019 – The 10th Annual Carmel Jewish Film Festival (CJFF), featuring 10 films from six countries, noted speakers, and panel discussions, will be held March 7-22, 2020. Starting in December, film and venue information, dates, and times can be found on the CJFF website (www.carmeljff.org). Tickets will be available either through the website or by calling (800) 838-3006 starting at the beginning of January.

Festival highlights include:

OPENING NIGHT (MARCH 7)

“Fiddler: Miracle of Miracles”

When “Fiddler on the Roof” opened on Broadway in 1964, it explored themes of tradition, religion, and anti-Semitism against a modern backdrop of radical social change that addressed gender roles, sexuality, and race. Rare archival footage and interviews with musical luminaries explore the legacy of this long-running, award-winning musical. London and Broadway theater star Alexandra Silber will entertain following the film and talk about her book, After Anatevka. A reception will precede the film.

“VIOLINS OF HOPE” (MARCH 8)

Marking the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, the Violins of Hope will visit Northern California and make an appearance at the Carmel Jewish Film Festival. Some of these violins were played in concentration camps to entertain Nazis and lift the spirits of fellow prisoners; others were played in ghettos and labor camps to earn money for food. These instruments were restored in Israel and are a testament to the remarkable resilience of the human spirit. The CJFF is partnering with the Monterey County Symphony and Chamber Music Monterey for this event.

Following a film about the Violins of Hope, renowned violinist Cookie Segelstein of Berkeley, CA, will play some the actual instruments, tell their stories, and talk about the cultural significance of music in Jewish communities in Eastern Europe. This program is part of Violins of Hope San Francisco Bay Area, presented in association with Music at Kohl Mansion, Burlingame, CA. A reception will precede the film, and a private reception with Cookie Segelstein at a private home will follow the event.

“BUDAPEST NOIR” (March 14)

The CJFF will host a Q&A with award-winning filmmaker Éva Gardos following this thriller set in Budapest in the politically fraught autumn of 1936. The film follows a scrappy reporter as he probes the murder of a femme fatale, leading him into the dark crime underworld. Francis Ford Coppola gave Gardos, born in Hungary, her first job in film, working as a production assistant on Coppola’s epic “Apocalypse Now”. She went on to establish a career as a film editor (“Valley Girl”, “Mask”, “Bastard Out of Carolina”), working with distinguished directors such as Barbet Schroeder, Peter Bogdanovich, and Anjelica Huston.

Éva’s screenwriting and feature film directorial debut, “An American Rhapsody”, starred a young Scarlett Johansson. The film is based on the true life events of Éva’s family escaping from Hungary in the 1950s and being forced to leave their infant child (Éva) behind. Éva spent six years in Hungary with foster parents before rejoining her biological parents in America. The film won many prizes on the Festival Circuit and was released by Paramount Classics.

“THE ACCOUNTANT OF AUSCHWITZ” (March 15)

Partnering with the Catholic Diocese, the CJFF will screen a Canadian film “The Accountant of Auschwitz”. In 2015, 94-year-old former German SS officer Oskar Groning admitted his guilt and went on trial. But bringing war criminals to justice asks fundamental moral questions with few simple answers. From Nuremberg to the new alt-right, this documentary is a stark reminder to “never forget”.

CLOSING NIGHT (MARCH 22)

The CJFF also will partner with the local Muslim community for the Closing Night selection Abe, a Brazilian film centered on a teen curious about his family’s Middle Eastern culinary heritage. A reception with Israeli and Arab dishes will precede the film.

As the only Jewish film festival in Monterey County, we serve all residents with our efforts to promote understanding, respect, and cooperation through education using the medium of film. While informed by a uniquely Jewish sensibility, our films communicate themes and messages with universal appeal to a wide audience drawn from the Monterey Peninsula and beyond. Our festival’s accompanying programs further engage mind and heart through discussion and social interaction. We hope that our festival will help bridge cultural and religious differences and contribute to community solidarity and peace.

Additional information about all films and events, including ticket prices, can be found on the Carmel Jewish Film Festival website (www.carmeljff.org).

Salinas, CA, November 06, 2019 – That’s the reality when shoppers comb the aisles or the online store at Goodwill. Each purchase enables the community-based nonprofit to better fund its job-training and employment placement services — so you’re actually giving twice.

Make Goodwill Central Coast your holiday headquarters — from setting your Thanksgiving table to finding that perfect gift on Black Friday and beyond.

Thanksgiving
Goodwill Central Coast stores are closed on Thanksgiving Day, allowing employees time with their families. But gearing up for Turkey Day has never been easier thanks to the wide range of items Goodwill sells at lower-than-retail prices.

Find deals on platters, wine glasses, table runners, silverware and more. Or create that perfect DIY tablescape with marked-down items such as candles, ornate pumpkins and decorative linens.

Black Friday
The busiest shopping day of the year begins at 7 a.m. at all Goodwill Central Coast stores. Find 25 percent off all items marked with a colored tag, along with Door Buster specials on new goods (including cookware).

Arrive early and stay late for two daily drawings in each store, where you could walk away with special merchandise.

Other special shopping days
There’s always a good excuse to shop at Goodwill during the Season of Giving. Join us for Small Business Saturday (Nov. 30), Sorting Sunday (Dec. 1) or Giving Tuesday (Dec. 3). Except for Thanksgiving, our stores are open throughout the holiday season.

Stocking Stuffer Campaign
Throughout December, all Goodwill Central Coast stores will put an emphasis on stocking stuffers priced in four categories (under $20, under $10, under $5, and under $2).

The list of stocking stuffers is as long as your imagination, but popular items include jewelry, games, earbuds, phone chargers, candy, ornaments, decorative mugs and books.

Donations
Remember, if you’re not in the shopping frame of mind, you can donate new and gently used items to Goodwill — all treasures for someone else to find and turn into jobs. From home pick-ups to tax write-offs, Goodwill makes donating as easy as possible. Find out more at www.ccgoodwill.org.
