Minuteman Press International Inc

Jim and Seamus Mooney have a lot to celebrate lately. The father-son team behind the Minuteman Press franchise in Clark, NJ (formerly Westfield) held their Grand Opening Palooza Event on June 22, 2023 as they celebrated their relocation to Clark as well as 5 years in business. Minuteman Press in Clark is located at 1120 Raritan Road, Suite 2, Clark NJ 07066. The grand opening event for Minuteman Press in Clark, NJ was sponsored by the Irish Business Association and featured live music, food trucks, vendors, and more. The Irish Business Association also recently honored Minuteman Press in Clark by awarding Jim and Seamus their Company of the Year Award. In addition, Jim and Seamus continue to hit new monthly sales milestones for their business. On the relocation, Jim shares, “We opened our doors on June 1, 2018. We have been in business for 5 years and we were looking for a larger production facility. Today, Minuteman Press Clark is a full-service printing, mail-house, and marketing design firm. We specialize in apparel (screen printing and embroidery), signage, paper based products (booklets, brochures, letterhead, envelopes, etc.) promotional products, mailings and graphic design.” Over the past 5 years, Jim has helped grow the family business through networking with a heavy focus on community involvement. He is President and an active member of Greater Westfield Area Chamber of Commerce, which includes multiple towns in Union County. Jim also appreciates being able to put his own stamp on Clark, Westfield and the surrounding community through his business. On that note, Jim says, “We have a lot of pride when we see our work displayed or distributed in the community – storefronts, window signage, direct mail, brochures, business cards – it’s always great to get kudos from happy clients.” Jim’s professional background includes managing strategic marketing for multi-unit franchise brands across various industries, most notably, McDonald’s Corporation working on the Company and Ad Agency side of the QSR industry. Jim says, “As the majority of my career was spent in franchise marketing, I am a true believer in franchising. Because I worked in advertising agencies where we had production and graphic design capabilities; I was very comfortable buying this business.” Jim continues, “I look at Minuteman Press as an ad agency for other businesses in Clark and Westfield and the surrounding towns. My career skills match up really well with what we are doing, and I am proud of our capabilities as well as the infrastructure we have in place being part of the Minuteman Press franchise family.” Speaking of family, while Jim concentrates on marketing the business, his son Seamus handles the operations. Prior to Minuteman Press, Seamus worked in recruiting and education operations management. Jim says, “Seamus is fantastic as our Vice President of Operations and I couldn’t do this without him. We’re a good team because we complement each other’s skills.” What’s it like going to work every day as a father and son? “It's an opportunity most people don't get to have,” Seamus Mooney said. “It's been great getting to work together for over five years — I've learned a lot during this time about business and life. Having a family business is rewarding." “It is fantastic to work with my son Seamus and to see him grow strategically and operationally as our vice president of operations,” Jim Mooney added. “Seamus is also a great thought partner in the business. It is a unique and fun experience.” Minuteman Press in Clark, NJ is located at at 1120 Raritan Road, Suite 2, Clark NJ 07066.

Throughout the journey, the SERES 5 Grand Tour fleet garnered significant attention from European consumers, with many expressing strong interest in the vehicle's performance. Local media in countries such as France, Italy, and Germany also conducted test drives, experiencing the unique smart driving features of Chinese new energy vehicles. The quality performance of the SERES 5 during its European Grand Tour exceeded expectations. It demonstrated remarkable endurance, traveling over 10,000 kilometers through challenging terrains like mud, snow, urban areas, and unrestricted highways.

Additionally, the driving experience was tailored to meet the preferences of individual drivers, providing them with a more enriching and enjoyable journey. Trond Sandven, the founder of Norwegian dealership Sandven AS, praised the SERES 5 as an outstanding vehicle, surpassing its European competitors in terms of performance. During the European Grand Tour, the SERES 5 achieved another milestone by completing the delivery ceremony to its first European customers, marking another successful step in SERES Motors' new energy international expansion.

Embracing Train Travel in Europe This Summer

YourUpdateTV

This summer, Americans are flocking to Europe in record numbers and seeking out unforgettable travel experiences while there. But with inflation top of mind for many Americans, one of the easiest, most affordable and memorable ways to explore Europe is by rail. Recently, Lifestyle Expert Bethany Braun-Silva partnered with Trainline to discuss the top European destinations this year, travel tips, and the benefits of seeing Europe by train. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/n1B5FtEV8TE Europe is definitely a top destination for many travelers this summer, with demand even outpacing pre-pandemic levels. But prices for airfare have skyrocketed and many Americans find it difficult to drive in Europe – from navigating which side of the road to drive on to trying to read traffic signs in a different language. This has led many American travelers to look for easier and more affordable travel alternatives while abroad. Train travel has had a major boom in recent years and has become the go-to form of travel in Europe for Americans, with affordability, ease of travel and sustainability being the chief drivers – plus the views from the train are both breathtaking and unforgettable, while being a perfect option for families, solo travelers, business, or leisure trips. U.S. downloads for Trainline, the No. 1 train booking app in Europe, are up 108% this year, telling us travelers are eager to see Europe by train this summer. With Trainline, Americans can explore Europe from the palm of their hand – making it simple to book all your train travel needs. Plus, you can book your train travel through Trainline in English and pay in USD, so there is no need to worry about a language or currency barrier when traveling! Here are Bethany’s tips for navigating Europe by train this summer: Tip #1: Book in Advance - Train tickets in Europe are usually at their cheapest price when they first go on sale. Booking early will get you the best deal, or you can choose to get a ticket with the ultimate flexibility for those times when you might want to change your travel plans last minute. Tip #2: Travel Off-Peak – Most train tickets across Europe tend to be more expensive during morning and afternoon rush hour. If you can, be sure to look for tickets outside of these times to see if you can snap up a lower price. Tip #3: Don’t Skip Connecting Trains – While taking a connecting train might make some American travelers uncomfortable, don’t shy away from them. You may arrive at your destination a little later than high-speed or direct services, but for those with a little extra time on their hands it’s a great money-saver – and you get to see even more of Europe along the way! For more information, download the Trainline app or visit Trainline.com.

UNOS Applauds House Action to Improve Air Transport of Donor Organs

United Network for Organ Sharing

Today, the U.S. House of Representatives approved its 2023 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization bill, which includes a provision aimed at improving safety and efficiency in the transportation of donor organs through the nation's commercial aviation system. Section 834 of H.R. 3934, the Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act, requires the Secretary of the Department of Transportation (DOT), in consultation with the FAA Administrator, to convene a working group to develop best practices for the transportation of an organ in the cabin of an aircraft. Before the September 11 attacks, organs – primarily kidneys – were transported within a commercial flight’s cabin, under supervision of the aircrew. Packaged organs were placed in or near the cockpit just before departure and quickly retrieved after landing. The attacks prompted significant changes to airport protocols, including no longer allowing transplant professionals without an airplane ticket to accompany an organ through security. As a result, organs currently travel in the cargo hold. Action by the House promises to review and possibly reverse that long standing practice. “I applaud the actions taken by the House today. I offer my profound thanks to those working with us to make this change a reality, namely Rep. Bruce Westerman and Rep. Greg Stanton from the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, and their colleagues Rep. Tracey Mann, Rep. Dusty Johnson, and Rep. Beth Van Duyne,” said United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) CEO Maureen McBride, Ph.D. “Today’s news is the result of collaborative efforts on behalf of patients waiting for the gift of life, while also honoring generous donors and their families. There is more work to be done as we ensure this legislation is enacted, but this is a critical step.” While not a common occurrence, any logistical delays heighten the risk that an organ cannot be transplanted. The post-September 11 relegation of organs to the cargo hold created challenges navigating cargo hours and cargo lock-out times - the cut-off time for receiving shipments before the scheduled departure of an aircraft. Not all airlines accept cargo, so options are limited for transporting organs by air, especially to areas served by smaller, regional airports. ”Any organ not ultimately transplanted represents a profound loss, both for the selfless donor’s family and the patient waiting,” said Dianne LaPointe Rudow, ANP-BC, DNP, FAAN, President of UNOS. “Our donation and transplant community is called to honor the gift of life, and that commitment includes not only publicly identifying the issue, but seeking substantive solutions to address it. We owe our patients nothing less.” The provision included in the House version of the FAA reauthorization bill is the result of ongoing advocacy by UNOS, Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs) and other members of the nation’s organ donation and transplant community. Since December of 2022, UNOS has engaged with the FAA leadership, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the Department of Transportation (DOT), and members of both the House and Senate to pursue this reform. “The organ donation and transplant community rallied behind this cause, knowing that it represents major progress for our patients and selfless donors,” said Jerry McCauley, M.D., M.P.H., Immediate Past President of UNOS. “This change is also a cornerstone of the UNOS Action Agenda, a series of improvements we know will strengthen the U.S. donation and transplant system.” To further reduce risk of delay, damage or loss in organ transport, UNOS is recommending changes in the next contract for the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network that would require the use of physical trackers for unaccompanied donor organs recovered for transplant, and the establishment of a centralized organ tracking system. The Senate Commerce Committee could mark up its reauthorization legislation as soon as next week. The Senate provision would require the FAA to establish regulations ensuring that donor organs transported via commercial flight can once again travel in the plane’s cabin, as opposed to traveling in cargo. “We look forward to supporting the passage of the provision in the Senate Commerce Committee and on the Senate floor,” said McBride. Sen. Maria Cantwell, Chair of the Senate Commerce Committee, Sen. Ron Wyden, Chair of the Senate Finance Committee, and Sen. Ted Cruz, Ranking Member of the Senate Commerce Committee, are supporters of the Senate provision. Actions to move organs back to the airplane cabin and out of cargo were widely endorsed by the donation and transplant community, including the American Association of Kidney Patients, American Foundation for Donation & Transplantation, American Society of Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics, American Society of Nephrology, American Society of Transplantation, American Society of Transplant Surgeons, Association of Organ Procurement Organizations, Donate Life America, Donate Life Virginia, Kidney Care Partners, Kidney Transplant Collaborative, National Kidney Foundation, Nationwide Organ Recovery Transport Alliance, North American Transplant Coordinators Organization, Organ Donation Advocacy Group, Renal Physicians Association, Transplant Recipients International Organization, Transplant Families, Transplant Unwrapped, and Waitlist Zero. Congress will need to advance reauthorization legislation before the current FAA authorization expires on September 30, 2023. About UNOS United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is the mission-driven non-profit serving as the nation’s transplant system under contract with the federal government. We lead the network of transplant hospitals, organ procurement organizations, and thousands of volunteers who are dedicated to honoring the gifts of life entrusted to us and to making lifesaving transplants possible for patients in need. Working together, we leverage data and advances in science and technology to continuously strengthen the system, increase the number of organs recovered and the number of transplants performed, and ensure patients across the nation have equitable access to transplant.

Cybersecurity for Connected Vehicles Is the Next Big Thing

MarketJar

The next major cyber attack may not be directed at your computer or even your bank card. It might be on your car. For over a decade, cybersecurity experts have warned about vulnerabilities in connected cars, which connect to an app, the internet, or an electric charging station. Owners of these automobiles risk having their personal data stolen, having their car hijacked while driving, or even having the power grid into which the vehicle is plugged shut off. EVs have gotten the most attention since they contain more digital components than their gasoline-powered equivalents. However, many modern automobiles have cybersecurity flaws, according to Stephen Meagher, Deloitte's director of new product offerings. Some of the cybersecurity threats involved with autos and charging stations are the same as those associated with ATMs or your personal computer. Someone hacking an EV charging station, for example, could steal your personal information, including payment information, location, or demographic information. Some concerns, though, are particular to vehicles and much more concerning. Hackers, for example, could get access to and control of the car. A 2021 speculative analysis demonstrated how a cyberattacker may short circuit an engine or even pull a car off the road. In 2023, a French hacker team used bluetooth to take control of a Tesla in under two minutes as part of a hacking competition. Then there are the more general concerns, such as gaining access to or shutting down a charging station network or even the central power system. Jim Alfred, general manager of applied cryptography group BlackBerry Certicom, agrees that automakers are aware of the risks and are taking precautions. Alfred and his team at BlackBerry Certicom develop computer protocols that enable safeguard communication channels in connected automobiles, similar to the ones you might find in your internet browser that notify you if a website is secure. Securing vehicles remains a difficult task. There are numerous companies participating in creating, producing, and ultimately deploying connected vehicles and EVs, ranging from equipment and software makers to telecommunications corporations, power companies, and local or national governments. According to Damu Prabhu, a partner in the cyber risk practice at Deloitte, a big part of the solution is to coordinate the cybersecurity effort. Essentially, vehicle cybersecurity is an arms race in which the winner will be determined by who has the most to lose and who is prepared to invest. A Leader in Advanced Continuous Authentication Technology Plurilock Security Inc. (TSXV:PLUR) (OTC:PLCKF) has created cybersecurity solutions that are used by over 600 customers, including NASA, the US Department of Defense, US Special Operations Command, the US Army, Navy, Marines, and Airforce, and has unique AI capabilities capable of identifying malicious behavior in seconds. Plurilock uses behavioral analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) to provide cutting-edge least privilege cybersecurity solutions to its clients. The company's AI system can identify and detect dangerous behaviors in seconds by monitoring individual behavior patterns, providing real-time security against cyber attacks. Plurilock AI is available in three configurations from the manufacturer. Plurilock AI Cloud provides a comprehensive suite of tools to enable least privilege access management across a company's cloud universe, as well as cloud-based data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities; Plurilock AI Cloud DLP combines the AI Cloud with an endpoint agent to ensure least privilege strategies are maintained to protect sensitive data across employee workstations; and Plurilock AI Complete, which connects these capabilities to machine learning (ML) and behavioral biomimetic technologies. Plurilock Security has continued to sign new contracts and renew existing ones, resulting in a year-over-year rise in Q1 revenue of 125%, from C$7 million to $15.8 million. Plurilock 's core AI-driven technology solution received 16 sale orders and contract renewals in Q1, including cross-sell buy orders from two US financial institutions.
