Innovation Discovery Launches the First World-Wide Database of Innovations
July 30, 2016 staronepr Leave a comment
Innovation Discovery brings the future into our homes, now!
San Diego, CA, USA — Innovation Discovery is developing the first world-wide database of innovations and has launched on the web the core to collect innovations. The futuristic platform will be designed to foster awareness and adoption of product innovations and new technologies. It is a unique solution to fill the gaps between the existing innovations and the innovations we use.
The aim is to connect worldwide potential customers to innovations and technologies and make them more diffused and successful. When you join "Innovation Discovery," you gain access to innovations, technologies, innovative talents, dealers, installers, consultants, joint venture partners, updates, and insights that help you to live in the future now.
The platform in development will be connections between innovations, and companies providing innovative products. It will be split in two parts:
• A front-end, consumer oriented, presented as a Wikipedia style, organised in categories with the innovations details and the benefits of their adoption.
• A back-end, business oriented, presented in a LinkedIn style, to establish networking between innovations, companies, dealers/installers, and professionals/consultants.
Carlo Rivis, CEO and founder of Innovation Discovery has more than 15 years of experience in Technology and Innovations and has founded different companies in Italy (EU) and U.S. traveling and working half western world noticing how people do not buy the best choice, but the improved version of something they already know. It does not matter if they can save money; most of the time they do not trust the seller or are too frightened to risk a change, so they buy the thing they are already familiar with.
For years he has thought about this discrepancy: many new innovations that help in reducing costs and improving the quality of life exist, so why people do not use them? At the end he found the answer: because of missing knowledge, fear of risk, and sticking to habits. He hopes the platform will empower users to save money/time, reduce consumption, improve sustainability and improve performances; for a better quality of life for everybody.
About Innovation Discovery
Innovation Discovery was born at the beginning of 2016 and started hitting the market few months later with its online core at http://www.innovation-discovery.blogspot.com. Its vision is to promote the diffusion of the innovations in the world to improve the quality of life of the entire humanity.

Award Winning Artist Rachael Sage to Release Acoustic/Folk Version of Latest Album "Choreographic"
July 29, 2016 straightlinepr Leave a comment
Independent Music Award winning singer-songwriter Rachael Sage is excited to announce the release of CHOREOGRAPHIC (ACOUSTIC), the acoustic and folk-oriented reimagining of her latest album CHOREOGRAPHIC.
New York, NY, July 29, 2016 – Independent Music Award winning singer-songwriter Rachael Sage is excited to announce the release of CHOREOGRAPHIC (ACOUSTIC), the acoustic and folk-oriented reimagining of her latest album CHOREOGRAPHIC. Available on August 5, the acoustic album features ten new versions of songs from the main release, and Rachael's charming cover of So Far Away, the Carole King classic.
A love letter to her early days as a dancer and also to her more recent collaborators in the world of lyrical dance, CHOREOGRAPHIC (ACOUSTIC) strips back the original album's layered production in favor of more intimate instrumentation; the lyrics and melodies are front and center in these special Acoustic Radio mixes. The uplifting, harmony-drenched Home (feat. rising artist Matt Nakoa) reflects on the mystery and romance of the big city, while 7 Angels (feat. Peter Himmelman) chronicles the true story of New York's most tragic fire in years, inadvertently caused by Sabbath observance. The playful, accordion-drenched Loreena was composed by Sage in a dream and nods to her inspiration Loreena McKennitt, and It Would Be Enough was written in honor of the late BB King, whose music crossed every conceivable barrier and who was Sage's father's favorite bluesman. The album closes with Rachael's cover of Carole King's So Far Away.
On her most acoustic recording to date, Sage is joined by longtime collaborators Kelly Halloran (Tom Morello, Michael Franti) – fiddle and Ward Williams (Brandi Carlile) – cello, as well as cellist Dave Eggar (Pete Seeger, Amber Rubarth), Jack Petruzelli (Rufus Wainwright) and James Mastro (Amy Speace) – guitar. Produced by Sage and Grammy® Winner Andy Zulla (Stephen Kellogg, The Sweet Remains), "Choreographic" features Sage's delicate guitar work, innovative piano playing and evocative vocals.
Rachael Sage's latest album CHOREOGRAPHIC is a collection of songs inspired by her very first love: Dance. The songs on CHOREOGRAPHIC were all sparked by the singular theme of movement through music, and composed very quickly by Sage during a week-long stint in a London hotel room. A former ballet dancer who attended The School Of American Ballet as a child, Sage learned to play music by ear listening to classical music while performing in such Balanchine ballets as "The Nutcracker" and "Coppélia" with The New York City Ballet; folk and popular influences came much later, but that musical platform was the lifeblood that enabled Sage to write her own songs and make sense of the world around her, from age five.
About Rachael Sage:
Rachael Sage is an award-winning singer/songwriter and producer from NYC who has become one of the busiest touring artists in indie music, performing 100+ dates a year throughout the US, UK and Europe. She has shared stages with Dar Williams, Ani DiFranco, Judy Collins, Marc Cohn, Al Stewart and Shawn Colvin, among others. Her "Choreographic" tour will continue throughout 2016.
Artist Statement: "As a contemporary folk artist inspired by Celtic and Middle Eastern traditions as well as classical music from my ballet career, I've always had so much respect for the folk and acoustic community. At heart, I am a storyteller foremost – and it's never been more important to me to be a part of this tradition, weaving my songs about love, loss and renewal into this rich, ongoing fabric."

During 2016's National Disaster Preparedness Month, Capital Insurance Group® to hold its 4th Annual CIG Insurance Community Safety Saturday™ on September 10, 2016 at the Monterey County Fair & Event Center
This free community event, hosted by Capital Insurance Group (CIG), will provide valuable safety information and activities for the whole family, including important fire prevention tips and how to deal with emergencies! Children, teens and adults alike will learn how to "play it safe".
Monterey, CA, July 27, 2016 – Let's get prepared! If an emergency occurred tomorrow, would you be ready? September is National Preparedness Month and Capital Insurance Group® is – hosting its 4th Annual CIG Insurance Community Safety Saturday™ on September 10, 2016 at the Monterey County Fair & Event Center, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
National Preparedness Month, sponsored by FEMA (www.fema.gov), aims to educate and empower Americans to prepare for and respond to all types of emergencies, including natural disasters and potential terrorist attacks. National Preparedness Month is a time to prepare yourself and those in your care for emergencies and disasters, both large scale and smaller local events.
Get Prepared!
Each of us can make a difference in our own community but many of us have not taken the time to learn the latest information about preparedness. Research on personal preparedness indicates that individuals who believe they are prepared for disasters often times are not as prepared as they think. In addition, some admit they do not plan to prepare at all. The challenge is maximizing awareness and encouraging participation in disaster preparedness activities to affect change at the community level.
Dr. Sarah W. Blackstone, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, Community Emergency Response Volunteers (CERV) of the Monterey Peninsula explains, "Disasters occur infrequently but emergencies occur daily –whether it is an accident or fire at home, a medical emergency, a tree falling on your house and so many other types of emergencies that can happen to us and those we care about. It's important to take the time to learn how to become better prepared to deal with these occurrences!"
Our nation's emergency managers, firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMT/paramedics, and other emergency responders do an incredible job of keeping us safe, but they cannot do it alone. We must all embrace our personal responsibility to be prepared and help contribute to the safety and security of our communities as well.
Make sure that you and your family are prepared for an emergency. Ensure that you can go for at least three days without electricity, water service, access to a supermarket, or other local services.
A few important steps to take:
• Prepare a disaster supply kit with at least three days of food and water. You can learn how to prepare one from the many emergency & safety organizations at CIG Insurance Community Safety Saturday.
• Create a Family Emergency Plan, so that your family knows how to communicate during an emergency.
• Obtain a NOAA Weather Radio.
Dick Bower, Emergency Planner with the Monterey County Office of Emergency Services provided some local statistics from last year:
– In 2015, Monterey County was impacted by 9 incidents that were severe enough for the Office of Emergency Services to track response and recovery activities.
– In three of those incidents, the County Emergency Operations Center was activated to support the response and recovery.
– The most significant incident of 2015 was the Tassajara Fire which burned approximately 1,100 acres of land and 20 structures in the Tassajara/Cachagua area.
– The Alert Monterey County emergency notification system saw an additional 9,700 people register for service bringing total participation to 13,757 phones.
– In late 2015, OES began forming the Resilient Monterey County Partnership which has now grown to 7 participating organizations with ongoing recruitment.
The Monterey County Office of Emergency Services also has a very helpful online Disaster Plan about preparing for disasters at http://www.co.monterey.ca.us/oes/Preparedness%20-%20Families.asp
CIG Insurance Community Safety Saturday™ At a Glance:
What: 4th Annual CIG Insurance Community Safety Saturday™

We know that the safety information and tools we provide at these events truly empower parents. Each time that we host these events and have the opportunity to work with so many local, safety-oriented public service organizations, we impact hundreds of families so that they can ideally live happier, healthier and safer lives."

Legendary Singer-Songwriter and Producer Bunny Sigler Releases Inspiring New Single "Stand Up" On July 25, 2016
"Stand Up" is the latest single from Sigler's critically acclaimed 2015 CD, 'Bundino'
Los Angeles, CA, July 27, 2016 – Four-time Grammy winning producer-singer-songwriter Bunny Sigler is proud to announce the release of his newest single, "Stand Up", from his critically acclaimed 2015 album Bundino. "Stand Up" will be released on Friday, July 25. The prolific songwriter who helped shape the legendary "Philly Sound" hopes the track will serve as inspiration to his listeners to do what's right.
"Stand Up" is an anthemic and extremely danceable song thanks to Sigler's inspiring lyrics and the stellar production by Sigler and collaborator Noisette "Saint Man" St. Jean Jr. Sigler also turns in a vocal performance fully deserving of his "Mr. Emotion" nickname, all while stressing the importance of equality, education and respect. According to Sigler, the track "portrays the message that one should always stand up for his or her beliefs." The closing track to Sigler's latest album, Bundino, "Stand Up" features an infectious beat and soaring chorus that cement the song as an inspirational summer jam for fans of R&B, pop, and dance music.
Complete with soulful ballads, nostalgic and funky songs, Bunny Sigler hones in on a contemporary sound with his latest album Bundino, which delivers 14 brilliant R&B tracks. Released in May 2015, the album features Sigler's signature croons and songwriting while paying homage to his 50+ year career in the music industry. Sigler also has a wide variety of videos available on his YouTube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/user/MrBunnySigler/. After recent performances in New Orleans, Philadelphia, and Spain, Sigler is ready to hit the road again and bring his live performances worldwide.
"…Sigler has no problem with shaking things up, and he demonstrates his comfort with envelope pushing through Bundino." –Soul Tracks
About Bunny Sigler:
Bunny Sigler was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on March 27, 1941. The industry gave him the nickname "Mr. Emotion" after his heartfelt performances on stage. Rising to prominence with the Philly soul sound in the 1970's, Sigler got a chance to work with a number of acts as a writer and/or producer, including the Whispers, Ecstacy, Passion And Pain and Carl Carlton. He cut tracks for artists on Curtis Mayfield's Curtom label, including Mayfield himself ("Trippin' Out"), and song on a duet album with Barbara Mason. In 1976, Sigler set up an album deal for Instant Funk with Gamble and Huff's TSOP label.
Creating several hits over the span of his career (many of which are still being sampled in today's generation), Bunny continues to write, produce and record new material. He is the co-writer of the song "The Ruler's Back" which was an opening song for Jay Z's album, "Blueprint". Even at over 70 years old, "there ain't no stopping us now" claims Sigler, as he gets ready to release "Stand Up," the next in a long line of hit songs.

The Ann Wilson Thing EP #2 – Focus now Available on Theannwilsonthing.com and Digital Outlets August 12 by Rounder
"The Ann Wilson Thing" September Tour Dates Announced
Los Angeles, CA, July 26, 2016 — Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Ann Wilson is set to release her second solo EP, The Ann Wilson Thing! #2 – Focus, on Rounder Records. Featured tracks on the EP include live recordings of Jimi Hendrix' "manic depression" and Peter Gabriel's "don't give up", as well as two Wilson-penned tracks, the folk-inspired "fightin fer life" and the bluesy "anguish". Guitarist Craig Bartok co-wrote both of these original songs with Wilson.
"manic depression" sees Wilson and the group paying homage to a blues-rock legend in Hendrix while introducing Wilson's own flair. "fightin fer life" recalls some of Heart's more folk and acoustic inspired tunes but features the harder edge that The Ann Wilson Thing! is known for. The Ann Wilson Thing! #2 – Focus is now available physically via theannwilsonthing.com and at all digital/steaming outlets. The CD will be available at all physical retailers on August 12.
Wilson is also announcing a solo mini-tour of Florida, to take place after Heart's Rock Hall Three For All tour (with Cheap Trick and Joan Jett) concludes in mid-September. The first show will be at the King Center for the Performing Arts in Melbourne, FL on Sept. 27 and will be followed by shows at Plaza Live in Orlando, FL and the Pointe Vedra Concert Hall in Pointe Vedra, FL on Sept 27 and Sept 28, respectively.
As a songwriter and lyricist, Ann Wilson has created a truly impressive body of work ("Crazy on You," "Barracuda," "Magic Man," "Dog & Butterfly," "Straight On", "Even it Up," "Mistral Wind," and many, many more). However, her greatest gift, and first "calling" is singing and with this intimate tour, she prepares to blow away her fans with up, close and personal, raw performances of blues and rock songs. The Ann Wilson Thing doesn't replace Heart but it is a new experience for existing Heart fans, as well as for new fans who will love these songs.

9/25 – Melbourne, FL – King Center for the Performing Arts – Information
