Alexander Golberg Jero projecting the future of the music industry with High Definition Music Card featuring Dolby Sound Technologies

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, July 15, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ — Alexander Goldberg Jero, composer extraordinaire and innovator, has made quite the name for himself due to his use of surround sound in composing musical masterpieces. Instead of just listening to the music, Jero wants people to be able to completely immerse themselves in the music as if they are at a live show. When you listen to his works, you go from sitting on the couch enjoying music to getting a front row seat without even moving. The experience will transform how you listen to music.
He has taken what he has learned from his innovative methods of composing music to create the idea of the High Definition Music Card. Using USB technology, Jero’s company MediaInVision PLC High Definition Music Card is expected to have a $2.5 billion growth and 200m GBP shares over the next 10 years. This is an impressive feat for this man who has centered his whole life around his passion for music. Some people in the music industry are happy to be stagnant, refusing to change with the times. However in an industry where technology is constantly improving, it is essential to keep up if you want to stay relevant. Jero doesn’t want to keep up with the changing technology; he wants to be the one changing the industry. That is exactly what he does with the High Definition Music Card.
One of the best things about the High Definition Music Card is how it utilizes the Dolby Atmos Sound. Dolby Atmos sound technology takes what you know about surround sound music capabilities and turns it on its head. You can find Dolby Atmos technology in a variety of different products including soundbars, TVs and in headphones. There are more and more products that are utilizing this technology to make their sound quality incredible. But what is Dolby Atmos? This will show you why Dolby Atmos is the next generation of sound for the music industry.
Simply put, Dolby Atmos is the proprietary audio format that has been specifically designed to offer highly immersive 360-degree surround sound. This is the same audio experience that you would get if you were at a concert live or inside of a movie theater. Content creators use Dolby Atmos to create different sounds in a precise location in the soundscape to create something amazing. Audiophiles will love products that have this technology because it allows you to hear the music in the purest of forms. When you listen to music, or anything that utilizes Dolby Technology, you are listening to sound the way that our ears were meant to. As sound mixers take pieces of sound, each individual instrument or vocals, and places them in the soundscape you can hear each of these sounds perfectly.
This technology works as well as it does because there is such a heavy focus on the details. Even the slightest detail allows the creator to achieve realistic sounds that can trick the brain to think that they are in the middle of the action. Atmos is perfect for this because it really allows sound mixers to place music in just the right spot to create a highly immersive sound. Layers upon layers of different sounds come together to create a magical experience. The music mixer can analyze the music and determine the optimal playback that audiophiles have been craving for their music.
Dolby Atmos is not your grandfather’s surround sound. Traditional surround sound utilizes 5.1 or 7.1 channels. This is still very high-quality sound but it is not quite that immersive sound that audiophiles are looking for. Rather than focusing on channels, Dolby Atmos assigns the sounds to a specific place to optimize the immersive experience. This gives spatial accuracy that tricks the ears into thinking that you are hearing the music live. What was once a game changer when it came to movie theater audio is becoming an increasingly popular choice in the home and mobile audio setting.
This highlights the advantage of Dolby Atmos. The sound quality that is achieved by this amazing technology is absolutely unlike the music that you have experienced in the past. Before, you just listened to music. With technology like Dolby Atmos, you are completely surrounded by the music. It takes over every inch of your senses. You can close your eyes and imagine that you are walking around a music festival, taking in your favorite music. That is the difference between conventional surround sound and the new technology of the Dolby Atmos.
Dolby Atmos has been partnering with companies to create products that are specifically made to handle the high-quality sound it offers. They are continuing to grow their partnerships to cross into different industries. Such partnerships with manufacturers includes laptops, smartphones, and televisions. Video games and gaming headsets are also starting to use this technology to offer users a superior experience. If you have a product that creates music or sound, you want to work with Dolby Atmos. Audiophiles have a keen ear that craves an attention to detail that can only be achieved when using Dolby Atmos products. If you are a music fan that has been dying to find something that means your audio expectations, you need to have Dolby Atmos compatible products. Otherwise, you are stuck listening to audio with the boring, standard surround sound that you can get anywhere else.
Alexander Goldberg Jero understands that music fans want to have an immersive experience when they are enjoying their music. Technology is always changing, improving the way that we do everything in our lives. Music can be more than sounds that are pleasing to the ear. He wants you to be in the center of the music, as if you have the musicians right there with you, putting on a private show just for you. This is the motivating factor for Jero when innovating the High Definition Music Card. A product this good is made even better thanks to the awesome technology behind the Dolby Atmos.

Mom Natalya, and her calf Gugu. BDR’s first F2 rhino.

Feeding time at the BDR Hand-Rear Facility

BDR’s Poaching Quick Reaction Team

The Rhinos of Buffalo Dream Ranch need assistance from an impassioned public to ensure their ongoing protection and to save this iconic species from extinction.

KLERKSDORP, NORTHWEST PROVINCE, SOUTH AFRICA, July 15, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ — A Very Public Good News Story:
Buffalo Dream Ranch (BDR) is the world's largest Captive Rhino Breeding Project and is hidden away in the flat, dry savanna of the North West Province of South Africa. BDR was founded and funded entirely by one passionate and humble man, John Hume. John, now 76, has bred more than 1,285 rhinos in his lifetime, and he, together with his dedicated team currently care for and protect 1,632 rhinos. They recently celebrated the birth of their first “F2”, or second generation, rhino calf on their project which is an outstanding achievement for any breeding operation. Over 300 of their dams (females) are pregnant right now, and due to give birth over the next 18 months, many more of which will be “F2’s”. This equates to close to 10% of the world’s remaining White Rhinos. BDR’s mission is simple. It is “To Breed Better and Protect Better” in their attempt to move this iconic species away from extinction. They hope this financial year to eventually meet their breeding target of 200 calves per annum.

BDR’s Very Private Financial Crisis:
After investing US$100 million of his life’s savings into this cause, John has now finally reached the end of his financial wherewithal to continue protecting these rhinos. This cash flow crisis they find themselves in has caused BDR to give notice of termination to the private army of foot soldiers who protect their rhino, as they can no longer afford their services. In fact, as soon as August this year, there will be no money left to even fund the day-to-day operation of the project, leaving the future of nearly 2,000 rhinos in severe jeopardy. We simply cannot sit by and watch a project of such significance to the conservation of our rhino, collapse due to a lack of funding.

The Reason Why:
John has always maintained that key to the success of BDR, and in fact to saving the rhino from extinction, is legalised trade in rhino horn. BDR routinely trim horns primarily to render their rhino less attractive to poachers, and thereby limiting the exorbitant cost of protection. They currently hold a stockpile of over 6.5 tons of horn in vaults around South Africa, which if valued at the reported wholesale price of US$20,000 per kg, amounts to US$130 million. Just imagine how much ‘good’ all this money could do for the conservation of African rhino, if only it was released into the pockets of legitimate rhino owners, instead of lining the pockets of criminals! Sadly though, the CITES ban on international trade persists, and the South African Government continue to hamper the sale of horn in our domestic market, and as a result, the BDR project find themselves in this very difficult financial situation. It should also be noted that BDR has, to date, not received a single cent of support from any Government, NGO or Charity throughout their journey.

Proposed Solutions:
There are a number of alternative initiatives currently underway which, with the help of an impassioned public, might just be able to steer BDR through their cashflow crisis, and secure the future of nearly 2,000 rhinos. These include:

1) Search for one or more partners – Probably the most viable solution is for John to find one or more wealthy impact investors with a passion for conservation of rhino, and a recognition of the potential for returns through trade in horn. He is ready to sell up to 50% of his BDR Captive Breeding Operation (CBO) to secure the future of his rhino. These partners would then work together with John to continue lobbying both the South African Government and CITES to ease up the horn trade environment and deliver BDR to sustainability through a legal and sustainable trade in horn. A search for these illusive benefactors is currently underway, and BDR would be grateful if any party interested, and in a position to provide the required investment, would make urgent contact through details provided herein.

As an impassioned public, your role could be to spread the word far and wide in the hopes of reaching one of these investors.

2) Rhino Coin – The second initiative is the recently launched, and still relatively unknown Rhino Coin. This is an innovative new proudly South African Crypto-Conservation initiative that issues 1 Rhino Coin for every 1g of ethically sourced blood-free horn secured in vaults in South Africa. See https://www.rhinocoin.com/ for more details of how you can get involved. A Foundation has been established by Rhino Coin to ensure proceeds go directly back to real live rhinos on the ground. Rhino Coin is currently tradable against ZAR, Bitcoin and Ethereum, and can be traded on the CornuEx exchange.

An impassioned public could make a real and immediate difference to the Rhinos of BDR by registering at https://trade.cornuex.com/refer.html?ref=1063 and investing in Rhino Coin today.

3) Indiegogo Crowdfunding Campaign – The final initiative is a direct appeal to the hearts and minds of a very generous public for donations through and Indiegogo Campaign which can be found here www.indiegogo.com/projects/help-protect-rhinos-from-poachers-security-community. Funds from this campaign will go directly towards the implementation of a state-of-the-art early warning electronic security system which will significantly cut BDR’s monthly running costs and allow them to continue the good work they are doing breeding rhino. The campaign story in this link contains a lot more detail behind the amazing BDR project and is well worth a read, regardless of whether or not you intend to donate.

As Robert Swan, the first man to walk to both Poles, once said, “The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it”. We simply cannot afford, as a responsible and caring public, to sit idly by and watch the demise of this most important conservation project. So, if you care about conservation of Africa’s wildlife, and more importantly saving the rhino from extinction, then please pick one or all of the above solutions and make your difference today.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, July 13, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ — As the expression goes, "The fish stinks from the head.” Culture is set from the top down and leaders set the tone. If leadership is not operating properly, the organization as a whole will suffer.

Success begins with leaders or it never begins at all. That’s the philosophy of PulvermacherKennedy & Associates, a management consulting firm. PKA are leaders in succession planning and implementation, strategic enterprise transformation, and executive development at the individual and team levels.

“An organization’s most valuable resource is its human capital: its employees,” says Luzita Kennedy, managing partner of PKA. “Whether we’re looking at strategy, operations, or organizational design of a company, what goes hand-in-hand with that is people. We forget that there are people who make that organization function. What we find with management or executive teams is they often become so focused on numbers and reaching certain targets, and they forget about their people.”

All the work PKA does, whether it’s leadership development or executive coaching, is in the context of changes that are taking place in the business. Those changes could be a restructuring, a merger, or a transfer to the next generation. When change takes place in an organization, inevitably it causes stress in the system. PKA specializes in helping organizations positively react to change, adapt and align to those changes.

“Any change that they want to implement in the organization, whether it's related to people or processes, starts at the top,” says Kennedy. “If the leadership team is aligned, the rest of the organization follows suit, so it's about marrying the changes that are occurring in the business and aligning management to those changes.”

Much of PKA’s work is in succession planning. How does an organization develop its next group of leaders?

“We have to create seamless transition,” says Kennedy. “We’re working with the current owner to help them transition out of their role. We’re also working with the incoming person because they might not be ready. There's a process of looking at their current leadership style given the role they are inheriting. What are the competencies attached to that role? Which competencies are missing? How do you bridge that gap?”

As executives reach new heights of their career, they tend to do the things they did before. Through PKA’s executive coaching and leadership development programmers, they can begin to heighten their self-awareness. Kennedy says most leaders are committed to making the adjustments because they know that it's important to the rest of the organization.

CUTV News Radio will feature Luzita Kennedy in an interview with Jim Masters on July 17th at 11am EDT and with Doug Llewelyn on July 24th at 12pm.

Dubai, UAE – The Middle East’s Financial Hub

Today, Knight Investment Limited, Hong Kong, is pleased to announce its proposed expansion into the Middle East for 2019.

HONG KONG, HONG KONG, HONG KONG, July 13, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ — Hong Kong is arguably the leading financial hub in Asia and for several decades Knight Investment has benefited from its progressive financial policies and growth. With clients based all over the globe and a new drive to bring new customers on board, it is now time for Knight Investment to look to other regions to enhance the quality of services it provides.

“For many years we have been considering an office in the Middle East and now we believe the time is right to make this happen” Said Eddie Mckay, Chief Executive, Knight Investment Limited. “Our intention is to have a presence in the UAE by the end of 2019, and with Scott Hastings taking the role of facilitating this transition, we are very excited by the prospect”.

Why Dubai

The United Arab Emirates has long maintained a policy of encouraging foreign investment. From a financial perspective, the UAE is an attractive place to do business in the region, due to the stable UAE Dirham, zero exchange restrictions, and the ability to repatriate capital and profits. Investors will also find a ready supply of skilled labour, modern communications and transport networks, excellent infrastructure, and a stable and reliable investment climate.

Investors are spoilt for choice as the UAE boasts over 40 Free Trade Zones (FTZs), each tailored to specific industries. These convenient bases allow for 100% foreign ownership, 100% repatriation of capital and profits, and full import and export tax exemptions. Other incentives include corporate tax exemptions of up to 50 years, no personal income taxes, and assistance with labour recruitment.

“I am very excited to head up our Middle East expansion, having previously worked in the region I am looking forward to returning and the challenges this new project will bring” Said Scott Hastings. “This is something we have been planning for some time now and we see 2019 as the ideal time to make the move and expand our reach and brand awareness.”

Knight Investment’s purpose is to provide access to alternative investment strategies to clients seeking to achieve a diverse and elevated portfolio.

DS Jurong Centre

Overall DS setup layout

Crux Labs

Crux solution enhances collaboration and provides better access to patients and induces reduction in monthly telecom rental and call charges by over 30 percent

SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE, July 13, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ — Crux Labs, a start-up headquartered in Singapore, announced the successful deployment of their telecom product, Crux LX, at Diabetes Singapore (DS), a non-profit organization affiliated to International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the National Council of Social Service (NCSS). DS now has a common communication platform between its centers, mobile van and remote staff, that improves their reach, provides seamless access and delivers an improved experience to their patients and channel partners.

Diabetes is a long-term illness and according to industry estimates, in Singapore, one out of nine people aged 18 to 69 has diabetes. Diabetics are required to make lifestyle changes and continued health monitoring to manage the illness and lead a healthy life, for which DS ties up with hospitals and clinics to help their patients effectively manage diabetes. As a Voluntary Welfare Organization (VWO), DS lacked distribution capability through a common telephony platform for patients to access its services seamlessly across Singapore. Increasing awareness and demand required DS to expand its outreach, while at the same time reduce their operating costs. The current communication system at various DS centers operated in isolation and did not allow cross-location collaboration. This prevented DS from providing patients a comprehensive view of its offerings across all of their locations. In short, DS needed to scale up their telephony and improve operational efficiency in order to deliver consistent, uninterrupted services in a cost effective, secure and compliant manner.

SMBs like DS require cost-effective collaboration solution that can facilitate easier communication and better connect but does not burden them with a need for an inhouse IT team or create expensive vendor dependencies to manage such a solution. However, unified communication solutions involve either a high cost of acquisition or high monthly rentals with incremental feature cost. Hence, the involved complexity and costs make such solutions unattractive for Small and Medium Businesses (SMB).

Crux LX not only simplifies the consumption of this complex technology, without comprising functionality – such that it is as simple as configuring a wireless router, but is also the most cost-effective solution, cheaper than cloud-based PBX service providers.

“I had a very specific need for a telephony system for my organization. The only available solution was Crux LX. It turned out to be the most cost-effective solution as well as easy to install and configure. Its functionality is far outstanding and there is no comparable product in the market. It has significantly enabled us to increase our distribution reach.”, said Venkatesh Narasiah, Executive Director, Diabetes Singapore. Adding further, he said “With Crux LX solution, the staff just punches in 3-digit numbers to call colleagues across our locations without incurring any call costs. I am also able to stay connected to my office lines even when I am at home in evenings. This has not only enabled better collaboration across our centers but also helped us reduce monthly telecom rental and call charges by over 30%”.

“Even in current digital age, 47 percent of on-premise communication systems sold every year, continue to be based on old analog technology, that lack collaboration features, sold largely to SMB – ie. companies with less than 100 users. We are very happy that we were entrusted with the opportunity to serve Diabetes Singapore. Through this deployment, our product is touching the lives of many in Singapore. It is very satisfying to see DS draw benefits from using our product.”, said Rohit Gupta, Founder, Crux Labs. He added that, “DS is the first VWO that we have worked with to deploy Crux LX. We now understand the challenges and considerations of VWOs much better. We are looking forward to working with more non-profit organizations to help them break out of the lock in with old technology and reduce their expenses.”.

About Crux Labs
Crux Labs is a Singapore-based technology startup focused on building IT products that simplify technology, in an innovative yet cost effective way, using open-source software and hardware. Crux Labs’ first product, Crux LX, is an effective alternative to complex and expensive telephony. This makes it an ideal choice for Small and Medium Businesses (SMB) globally. In January 2018, Crux LX became one of the 26 successful hardware-based crowd-funded ideas on Kickstarter from Singapore, and one of the very few in B2B segment.

About Diabetes Singapore
Diabetes Singapore’s mission is to raise awareness and to provide education, counselling and support to people with diabetes, their families and the community in order to empower them to lead a healthy and productive life.
