With the introduction of so much technology, it isn’t easy to conceive what our future has in store. Consider this, in 1908, Ford Motors started rolling the first affordable automobile with two gears, and one had to check the fuel by dipping a stick inside the tank.
Hundred years later, and the introduction of self-driving cars in upon us, and literal ones at that. Recently, Google and before that, Tesla have ventured into the self-driving models with varying degrees of success. Electric cars have become a near reality, and it’s a matter of when rather than if that these will replace the gas vehicles.
Sure, when anyone looks at technology, one might see a lot of positives. Even with self-driving cars, the focus is to have a safer road experience. According to various researches, it is predicted that if the computers drive for humans, it will lead to a safer road environment.
Benefits of Technology
Undoubtedly, the automobile sector has grown tremendously over the years, and thanks to the innovations, it has increased consumer safety and appeals to the customers. Here are some technologies that have revamped how drivers operate our vehicles.
GPS – Global Positioning System
Long been thought of as a security risk to make it available for the masses, the decision to make GPS more accessible has been nothing short of life-changing. Gone are the days when one would have to navigate the busy streets and the open countryside with large paper maps. It has made driving more manageable as a driver may concentrate on the road while the GPS navigates every turn.
Electric Cars
As mentioned above, electric cars provide people with a glimpse into the future. Hybrid vehicles are quite common these days, and pure electric vehicles will be too once the logistics of charging stations are dealt with. These cars make for a safer environment with lower emissions and lesser noise pollution.
Safety Measures
Technology has helped make cars safer with better materials and better safety screenings for safety. Technology also lets drivers anticipate collisions with forward-moving vehicles and alerting just in time. There are also programs that, if turned on, will automatically brake if they feel a crash is inevitable.
In-Car Communications
Connectivity is perhaps the most significant feature of modern technology that comes inbuilt our cars these days. It puts drivers in touch with the outside world with the push of a button.
Drawbacks of Technology
Vehicles are becoming more complex, making it even more difficult to service them or analyze any faults. The good thing for those in St. Louis is the presence of Jammin J Auto, who do the best car repair in St. Louis.
Another drawback is that safety may get compromised by all the distractions due to the in-car communication system. It could lead to more accidents. Stay Safe!
Jammin J Auto – St. Loius Auto Repair
Jammin J Auto, the best car repair in St. Loius, will make a drivers life a lot easier. Even with the great advancements in technology, Jammin J has got the latest tech to analyze most all makes and models vehicles and put even the most picky driver back on the road.
New York, USA – So much has been said and written about love thatsome people have been left confused. Clearing the matter is a new e-book by Michael Soward. The book seeks to demystify love, cut out the unnecessary information about it, and help the reader begin a brand-new road to find and keep real true love. The book is entitled “Love- What It Is, What It’s Not”, and sets to separate the true and false information about love. The author tells it from his personal experience, where he has been taught that love in its purest, raw form is a God-Given Force.
Michael believes that pure love has absolutely nothing to do with sex, expensive gifts, beautiful houses, clothes, great shoes, and awesome family gatherings, although these are indeed all small parts of an extremely gigantic puzzle.
Michael Soward’s understanding and inspiration about love comes from 1 John 4: 7-9 (King James Version of The Holy Bible) which reads as follows:
“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God, and every one that loveth is born of God and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.”
Michael Soward has another book entitled “Life-ology 101: If All Else Fails, Smile.” The book, like the current title, is about life. Soward encourages his readers to have hope and regardless of the life challenges, push on and never give up.
This is not the first time Michael Soward has covered the topic of love. He is also an accomplished musician and a musical director, and was as an assistant pastor for the Power of Love Ministries in Los Angeles, CA. He has also recorded an album entitled “Real Love.”

Australian businessman Darren Herft has officially launched his new sports website, Darren Herft Sports Central to discuss cricket and AFL.
On Herft’s sports site, he also has a greeting from AFL player Campbell Brown, who played for the Hawthorn Football club and the Gold Coast Football Club. Brown congratulated Herft for launching his website and said, “For all the breaking big news stories, I’m going to be coming to you and your website.”
While Herft watches sports for enjoyment, he also studies it carefully for success. Success in the business world, according to Herft, requires commitment, sacrifice and perseverance. These are the primary lessons that he wants to share with his readers.
On the website, Herft wrote about the new AFL season. In his post, he says that this may be “the most even AFL season ever” and predicts who the emerging young AFL talent in 2021 will be. He also points to which teams he believes have the most legitimate claims this season. In his next article, Herft posted about The Big Bash.
With more articles to come, Herft hopes to keep readers engaged on timely and new information and predictions on AFL and cricket, but also hopes to teach them the principles of business success and leadership.
In an interview with Vents Magazine last month, Herft reflected on the positive role of sports in his career, mentioning that he started in athletics at an early age and began playing sports when he was seven. Later in his youth, Herft gravitated toward AFL and cricket.
There has been a lot of research into the impact of sports on professional careers. A report from Ernst & Young focused on how women build leadership skills through sports and it was found that 94 percent in the C-level professionals played sports.
C-level executives play strategic roles within organizations, holding senior positions and impacting company-wide decisions. These executives are usually in charge of an entire department or unit such as finance, marketing or IT.
Herft says that his early start in sports laid the foundation for his discipline and success in business, and these are all qualities he wants to share with his readers.
Aside from sports content, Herft has also written about global debt and how innovation can improve the economy. He believes in creation and innovation and its ability to stimulate the economy, especially in a world where nations are borrowing at a higher rate than ever during the coronavirus.
Aside from his sports and business knowledge, Herft has a strong background in finance. He studied business and accounting at Griffith University and has developed keen insights into finance through his career. Much of his expertise lies in early-stage investments and its ability to propagate.
USA, February 18, 2021 Around 2005, Justin Johnson — at the time a football player for Temple University in Philadelphia — was looking for an outlet while recovering from a broken fibula and dislocated ankle. Fortunately, the school had a tech center with a music room and a recording studio, and Johnson turned to producing music.
“I started going there when I was going through rehab for football,” he recalls. “I learned how to make beats on different software and would get coached by some students. Making melodies at Temple was the starting point that made me realize how much I truly love music, sounds and the vibes.”
After graduating and playing arena football for a time overseas and in the U.S., Johnson returned to his hometown of Denver and formed Dream Is Grind, LLC, an artist management company. In addition to making his own music, he wanted to foster local talent through artist development, logo design, web design, marketing strategies, songwriting, event planning, photography, video production and more.
For inspiration, he looked to Vanzil Burke, a manager and producer he’d met while playing football in L.A.
“I witnessed how [Burke] managed an artist and produced shows, and I felt like I had a bigger impact working with people rather than [trying] to do something independently,” Johnson explains. “He’s in the big leagues now, and it’s inspiring to see his productions continue to thrive year over year. I’m still working on my artistry, but ultimately it’s the team aspect that drives me to work harder, and it’s more meaningful to be able to share similar dreams and goals.”
Instead of launching in a major entertainment hub like Los Angeles or New York, Johnson was drawn to Denver because there was so much undiscovered talent here. “Denver is my home, with a lot of talent and potential,” he says. “One of my goals has always been to try to put Denver on the map for entertainment instead of [being] a flyover city.”
The name Dream Is Grind symbolizes the struggles artists experience while reaching for their goals.
“I decided on Dream Is Grind because I felt like it represented pushing hard toward your dream,” Johnson says. “If you have dreams or goals, you have to grind hard to get [them]. I live by that motto, because hard work and dreams don’t come easy. I love the name, because it influences people to be a better version of themselves.”
Johnson champions a variety of music, from hip-hop to R&B to pop. He’s worked with artists including Annabelle, Jay Triiiple, Chy Reco, KDJ Above and more. One of his current artists is rapper Taurean Nelson, who joined the agency in 2018.
“Justin has been one of the most solid people in my corner,” Nelson says. “We just immediately clicked, and it felt right. We stand on a lot of the same morals, so most times we see things similarly.”
In addition to dropping his album Houdini in 2020, one of Nelson’s memorable gigs was headlining a show in Los Angeles for Jakob Campbell, a Colorado artist who competed on the hip-hop reality show Rhythm & Flow on Netflix in 2019.
“I actually got that opportunity due to a prior performance I had out in North Hollywood just months prior,” Nelson says. “I performed at a show I got through a friend of mine here who plugged me to a promoter out there. The promoter and fans in the venue liked me so much he pulled me to the side, and a week later, I’m getting a call about headlining my own show for October 2019.
“Headlining my very own show in L.A. — I’m just a kid from Colorado, and getting love in L.A. was literally a crazy experience,” he adds. “It’s very hard work to put on a successful show in your hometown. It’s ten times harder trying to in a place where you’re pretty much a stranger.”
Nelson wants to get back to making music and dabbling in other projects in 2021.
“I want to release a lot of new music and visuals this year,” he explains. “I’m starting this year with a new seven-song EP titled R1$3 (Respect, Power and Money Is Everything). We’ll be dropping the first single very soon. Keith Komedy and I are about to start writing a comedy show, and I would like to tap more into writing scripts and directing, as well.”
Komedy joined Dream Is Grind in 2018. He started out as a host for the company’s Kush Groove concert series, showcasing the musical talents of local artists. He soon became Johnson’s business partner and executive producer for Dream Is Grind.
“Justin has been the ultimate teammate,” Komedy says. “He takes action in what he believes in while allowing me to have input that is actually implemented into action.”
Komedy says his name helps him remember to keep pursuing comedy and making people laugh.
“A few of my friends would always say, ‘Keith, you should do comedy,’” he explains. “So I gave it a try and fell in love, and came up with the name Keith Komedy as a reminder to keep going with what I love doing most, which is making people genuinely laugh. I’ve performed at the [Denver] Improv and other local venues around the city.”
Johnson says Komedy, Taurean and other members of the Dream Is Grind family are easy to mesh with because they share similar goals.
“We can bounce ideas off of each other and implement them quickly,” Johnson explains. “They usually turn out the way we envision them. We hold each other accountable, and we don’t miss a beat while taking care of our families.
“We inspire each other and push each other out of our comfort zones,” he continues. “It’s rewarding to work with others that believe in your dream or idea. It’s also rewarding to build a social network of accomplished people.”
Along with client events, Dream Is Grind had to cancel Kush Groove, which would have taken place in Denver, Portland and Miami, because of the pandemic; concerts and client bookings are on hold through 2022.
“I think that our clients truly believe in us,” Johnson says, “and we have developed solid relationships with them to keep us booked when COVID restrictions lift.”
Johnson, Taurean and Komedy always thought about pushing their efforts to film and video. They turned the Kush Groove series into a YouTube show called Kush Groove TV, which merges a documentary format with reality TV, highlighting real people without following a script.
Their first episode spotlights local artist Sydnie Battie, who describes her music and experience participating in the movement for Black lives and last year’s protests against police violence, where she was hit with a rubber bullet.
“For 2021, we plan to release several episodes with different content for each episode,” says Johnson. “Not every episode will be related to music.”
Dream Is Grind also launched a clothing line last year that includes face masks, embroidered jackets, hoodies, sweatshirts and more.
“The line basically got started for our concerts,” Johnson says. “I wanted our team to stand out with branded clothing from Dream Is Grind and Kush Groove. From there, a lot of people reached out on how they could get a hat or shirt. Keith and I worked on making items readily available online for purchases back in the fall of 2020.”
Johnson has many pinnacles for Dream Is Grind to reach by the end of the year.
“The goal is to become a nationally recognized production company as well as [gain] huge exposure for Taurean,” Johnson says. “By the end of 2021, we want to work or have future work locked in place with several high-profile artists and businesses. We want to be able to feel accomplished with the quality of work we put out for the year, and in doing that, we want to continue to bring attention to what Colorado has to offer.”
USA, February 18, 2021 Arborists Near Me is an exclusive directory and lead generation service for tree service companies. Arborists Near Me promotes professional tree service companies online making it easy for homeowners to find tree care companies quickly and easily in one place. Unlike other websites and directories that list all types of businesses plumbers, roofers, electricians, etc. Arborists Near Me is focused 100% on tree service. Stephen Clark, CEO of Arborists Near Me, says, “If you needed heart surgery would you go to a general practitioner or would you go to a Cardiologist, a heart specialist?”
Stephen notes that, “tree service companies are an important part of landscaping and maintaining a healthy, beautiful community. Great tree care companies with talented Arborists on staff do not get enough credit for the work they do as specialists. Certified Arborists are educated on tree health, proper pruning, safety, equipment, and continue their education to stay up to date and remain knowledgeable. Therefore, tree care companies need to separate themselves in their online marketing efforts.”
Caleb Green, Marketing Director at Good Guys Tree Service said, “We signed up, got listed in 20 cities we wanted to target, right away we were able to get a few phone calls, what I liked about those leads is people seemed to be genuinely interested in their trees and they were looking for Arborists, so these were good leads, people that had work that needed to be done. Arborists Near Me does a good job of weeding out unprofessional competition, there are alot of guys with pickup trucks and a logo and ah yeah, you probably don’t want to be bidding against those guys.”
Stephen says, “Arborists Near Me has grown tremendously in the last year, over 350 tree service companies are listed with 3-4 companies signing up every month. A premier listing is just $19.99 per month, no contract, companies can select up to 20 cities to show up in and up to 10 categories like tree trimming, tree removal, and stump grinding. We do not charge for calls you get from your listing, leads are optional. Our focus is generating direct inbound phone calls.”
Those who want to learn more about Arborists Near Me are encouraged to look at the company’s website. Additionally, the company invites those interested to get in touch with Stephen directly via email through the website. Arborists Near Me’s blog is a great source for both homeowners and tree care companies, also check out their Facebook page where they post updates and communicate to their users.

The UAE remains one of UK’s top 27 investors according to HULT Private Capital
LONDON, UK, February 17, 2021 British investments in UAE valued at $20.5bn, UAE one of 27 top investors in UK: Minister of Economy
The UK and UAE have had a strong relationship for many years the UAE’s minister for economy explains why.
Economic relations between the UK and the UAE are steadily growing with an upward trend in bilateral trade and investments, says a top UAE official.
“The UK is the UAE’s 3rd leading partner in non-oil commodities trade today. The UAE was UK’s top Arab trade partner in 2019, accounting for 32 percent of the UK’s foreign trade with other countries,” Abdulla Bin Touq Al Marri, UAE Minister of Economy, said.
“The non-oil foreign trade between both countries in the first eight months in 2020 was valued at approximately US$5.5 billion at that time and the UAE’s non-oil export to UK accounted for nearly US$500 million, which reflected a growth rate of 25 percent,” he revealed during a virtual ministerial briefing with UK Minister for Investment, Lord Grimstone.
‘UK-UAE perspectives: Growth & partnership for 2021 beyond’ an virtual event organised by Bloomberg discussed the economic recovery from COVID-19 and its implications on the financial sector. The ministers also talked about the importance of strong trade and investment ties between the UK and the UAE in promoting a sustainable economic rebound and deepening links post-Brexit.
John Hudson a senior representative of HULT Private Capital supports the claim of UK UAE relations “I have seen the growth and interest in UK Private Equity and Property continue to grow throughout the pandemic. Many smart investors are looking to capitalise from the current economic climate and knowledgeable investors have been soaking up the opportunities available in private equity and Property developments. It has been a busy year.’
Al Marri continued to say that “strong bilateral relationships with the UK are also evident on several non-trade related fronts. For instance, the UAE is home to several British companies today, in terms of investment with a value of US$20.5 billion. The UK accounts for 16 percent of the total FDI [Foreign Direct Investment] balance in the UAE as of the end of 2018.”
Meanwhile, the UAE’s direct investments in the UK accounted for US$7.2 billion by the end of 2018, the minister added. Which would include investments such as those presented by Property Investment Company HULT Private capital. The UAE is one of the 27 top investors in the UK, he noted, adding that the UAE is looking forward to a Free Trade Agreement, FTA, between the UK and Gulf Cooperation Council states.
Echoing the same sentiments, Lord Grimstone said the UAE will have a greater role in a free-trade framework between the UK and the GCC when the FTA is materialised.

We are living in unprecedent times. Many never thought they would live to see a pandemic, but here we stand. As we navigate COVID-19, we have learned it has long lasting cognitive effects that cannot be ignored. Long term effects include anxiety, dementia, confusion, seizures, and stroke. These symptoms are commonly noted in individuals who have a brain injury.
For the past 30 years, Michigan has had a thriving brain injury rehabilitation industry that could be instrumental in helping COVID-19 survivors return to their previous level of functioning. Yet, laws have changed that may affect opportunities for medical rehabilitation.
Hospitals are exceptional with saving lives and jumpstarting the recovery process. With COVID-19 circulating throughout the community and hospitals, patient discharges must occur as soon as possible to reduce the risk of infection. COVID-19 and the change in insurance approval has significantly reduced the options available for discharge. There are many programs that treat brain injuries in danger of closing due to recent changes in Michigan “No Fault” Insurance.
The most common ways of sustaining a brain injury are slip and fall, sports injury, and car accident. Science is still gathering data on the percentage of post-COVID patients with symptoms of brain injury. Regardless of how someone acquired their brain injury, it is important that rehabilitation is available for all ages.
Many brain injury rehabilitation providers are expected to cut half of their staff, which is expected to be around 20,000 jobs lost. This drastic change can significantly reduce the level of care available to individuals who acquire brain injuries.
The No Fault reimbursement system will have a funding cut in July of 2021, as well as additional costly requirements that brain injury specialty providers must complete for compliance. The additional costly requirements may result in the closure of several small businesses that were built on the No Fault system—and could now aid in the recovery process of post-COVID patients.
Many states have mandated that health insurances cover brain injury rehabilitation, allowing providers to treat auto accidents, slip and falls, and sports injury related brain injuries. With changes to the No Fault law, these resources may not be available treatment options for post-COVID patients. How do we save jobs, save our workforce, and save lives?
Irvine Head Injury, Inc. is a multi-disciplinary treatment center in Southfield, Michigan that has evaluated, treated, and cared for individuals with a known or suspected brain injury for more than 30 years. The center is licensed by the State of Michigan and is CARF accredited. Learn more about Irvine Head Injury at irvineheadinjury.com.
