● This new line reflects the company’s commitment to top-quality products available online, as well as the safety and satisfaction of their customers. ● The new cordless product line is fully compliant with the latest safety standards, ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2018.
LOS ANGELES, CA – February 7, 2020 – Best Custom Screens (BCS), a leading online purveyor of custom screen doors and window screens for homes and businesses is excited to announce its new line of certified safe for kids, cordless blinds and shades. With the arrival of the new products, the Best Custom Screens website is now complete as “Best Custom Screens & Blinds”.
Consumer demand for cordless options in window coverings has increased dramatically in recent years, and BCS is stepping in to fill the need. These attractive, durable window coverings are made to be fully compliant with the latest industry safety standards, making them excellent choices for homes with small children.
BCS has been offering distinctive products to its customers since 2002 when it began selling premium window and door screening products. Its focus on manufacturing against strict quality standards stayed true as the company expanded into window treatments. As Steve Tristan, Director of Operations puts it, “We’ve always made quality our top priority. We want our products to last. We want them to look great the day they’re installed and look just as good years later.”
Their new line of cordless blinds and shades keeps this tradition alive. They’re modeled after the company’s previously successful designs, with the addition of smooth, effortless operation without the cords. “Our customers have been asking for the safety and convenience of cordless blinds,” says Juan Ramos with technical support, “and we’re happy to finally make these products available at the price and quality they’ve come to expect.”
Customers can now get BCS’s signature cordless technology in faux wood blinds, cellular shades, sun screen roller shades, and EZ Glide vertical blinds. Each style comes in a wide variety of colors and finishes, and all carry the BCS quality commitment.
“We take child safety extremely seriously, as every manufacturer in the industry should. We have a responsibility to our customers and to the community,” said Steve, “so we’ve made sure our new cordless window treatments meet or exceed the new ANSI safety standards.” Enacted to prevent the risk of child strangulation, these standards represent a critical change in the industry. BCS worked diligently to bring their product line into compliance before the original standards date.
“We’ve listened to what our customers want,” said Steve. “They want stylish products that will complement their homes. They want them to last through everything that kids, pets, and daily use can throw at them. And they want them to be safe. We’re delivering all three of these, and we’re doing it at a great price.”
About Best Custom Screens & Blinds
BCS has been proudly offering top-quality screens and window coverings to consumers locally and around the country for nearly 20 years. Everything they sell is built to meet exacting standards for quality and value. And they’ve pioneered unique shipping methods that make certain even large screen doors arrive in perfect condition every time. BCS works every day to earn their customer’s trust, and that commitment has brought them continued success.
Enabling 24/7 mental wellness care, the Lyftly app features community, expert peer support and access to a variety of valuable functions and resources
LOS GATOS, Calif.—Feb. 6, 2020—Lyftly launched today a powerful and groundbreaking mobile solution dedicated to youth mental healthcare. Intended to help users achieve and sustain mental and emotional wellness, the app offers personalization, a supportive community and expert peer support. Wellness care is based on what the company calls the three Pillars – Sharing, Seeking Help and Self-Advocacy. An iOS app, Lyftly is making its debut on the Apple App Store at a time when youth mental illness is undeniably a huge national crisis.
“Life can be very stressful, especially for an adolescent in this challenging, unstable and often disconcerting world,” said Dr. Ram Ramanujam, CEO of Lyftly. “If you feel lonely or disenfranchised, you no longer have to go at it alone. Lyftly offers effective programs, solutions, and live guidance. This is the all-in-one tool to help you on the journey towards wellness.”
Lyftly is offering a solution to a serious public health problem, the rapid rise in youth anxiety and depression and related issues like teen-suicide. The NIH reports that the prevalence of mental illness is at 25.8%, the highest level of any age group. 31% of high school and college students are experiencing some form of depression. Lyftly is about creating a youth-driven community where the students can engage and help each other in their wellness journey. This app is Instagram-like dedicated to mental health and wellness.
The platform’s underlying methodology was developed in coordination with the latest studies at Harvard, Penn, Michigan, and Stanford. With this research-based foundation, Lyftly guides its users to understand the state of their overall wellness, self-monitor their moods. The App guides each user to set and complete goals for improving his or her wellness. Private journaling is built into the app as well. Users can seek and get personal encouragement from others. In addition, one has access to the anonymous, confidential communication, and support system, available 24/7.
About Lyftly
Lyftly got started with funding from the Ram and Thaila Foundation through the Actus Venture Group. They wanted to address this near-epidemic problem among adolescents. The company’s growth is currently funded by Angels and Corporate Investors.

It is impossible to overlook the major controversy that was sparked by the failures of the mobile voting app commissioned to support the recent Iowa elections. This app designed to tabulate and report results from the precincts – had significant glitches that resulted in a full day of delays, thereby increasing skepticism as to whether the world is ready for mobile voting.
According to the New York Times , the Iowa Democratic Party commissioned Shadow Inc. to develop the mobile app between November and December for the price of $63,183. The app, which was designed to work on most mobile devices, was not tested on a large scale simulation; fixes were still being made up until two days before the release.
The main lessons that can be learned from this debacle are:
1. Tight timelines can compromise quality. You cannot build, customize, test, and train for a mission-critical app release in two months, even with an army of developers and testers. When you are dealing with an end-user application, you must have sufficient time to develop training, run user-acceptance/beta testing, collect feedback, and resolve any issues found. Even if the development company (Shadow Inc.) is filled with a great development and testing team, it is important to realize that the best teams can make mistakes, especially when they are pushed to a short timeline.
2. Understand the costs. I don’t want to say “You get what you pay for” but… I know $63,183 may sound like a lot to the general public for an application; however, top app developers and security analysts are expensive. When you are developing a secure and well-tested application, it takes a team of experts that includes not only developers, but also testers in the area of security, usability, performance, and functionality.
3. Reduce device compatibility. By not limiting the number of devices that could support the Iowa app, Shadow Inc attempted the impossible feat of providing a quality solution in a short timeline. The testing of all operating system-to-device combinations cannot only be time-consuming but difficult to fix without the app breaking on another device. When my team and I test an app, we first determine the combination of devices and operating systems to be supported. Even with our lab of mobile devices, we know that the risk of poor quality increases with the number of devices that must be supported. The better option would have been to release the app to a limited set of devices and then create a simple web-based option for Caucus managers with bad cell service or older phones.
4. Leverage automation. This is a must for simulation of responses and performance load. It’s not clear what testing best practices were used by Shadow Inc., but users share that large-scale testing was not done. Keep in mind that this application was not used by all Iowa Democratic voters. The user size was only 1700 sites, which could have been easily simulated with test automation.
5. Late Releases. Reports say they were updating the app build up to two days before the release. That margin of time was too close and did not leave enough time for a final round of testing or to get it approved by the Apple Store. This would explain the desperate decision to use a testing platform, TestFlight, for the distribution of the app as reported by the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday. In my experience, a last-minute release is always a reflection of the instability of an app. The app deadline for a “Go-No-Go” should have been two weeks ahead of the primaries. It’s better to release an app with known issues that users can be trained to avoid rather than try to fix it up to the last minute and risk other functionality breaking in the process.
Many political commentators recommend going back to paper for voting. While this event may indicate that “online voting is not ready for prime time”, as mentioned by one computer science professor in the NY Times; digital voting is inevitable. We just need to understand that when the impact of the failure is as visible as something like the “Iowa Primaries”, there cannot be any shortcuts. If an estimate or timeline seems too good to be true, it probably is. The time required for the user, security, performance, and accuracy testing is critical. Fortunately, testing best practices leverage automation in all of these areas, so this time can be replaced by focus and expertise.
Understand that all mission-critical apps require a Quality-Driven Development plan buffered for user input. If the app is unstable or receives poor feedback too close to the release, de-scope, say “No”, or brace yourself for the storm.

February 5, 2020 – Justice can be elusive in many criminal cases. Elusive because finding meticulous, qualified and experienced representation can be hard to identify amid a deluge of letters and Google searches. Any mistake or misstep within that arena can have ripple effects which will reverberate for years within a person’s employment, financial, and relationship life.
After nearly six years as a prosecutor and presently another five building his practice, Attorney Justin Panighetti is becoming a primary voice when it comes to defending the rights of those charged with crimes within Erie and the surrounding counties. Attorney Panighetti helps people not just through providing great results, but also through valuing the personal relationships he builds with clients while guiding them through what is often the most trying periods in their lives.
“I’ve been defending people charged with crimes in Erie and the surrounding counties for over five years and it’s been the personal relationships I’ve developed with clients that have stood out to me as the most rewarding aspect of the job. You realize quickly that your perceptions as a prosecutor as to who a person is based on their record and current charges is and was so often misleading or flat out wrong,” Panighetti said.
“I have learned that getting to know my clients on a personal level makes the great results I achieve for them with regards to their criminal case so much more rewarding,” he added.
Justin’s primary focus within his practice is to establish and build relationships while making sure he gets the type of results his clients are expecting. Every year, he handles approximately seventy-five to one hundred criminal cases ranging from summaries to felonies in many different counties in Northwest Pennsylvania. Justin Panighetti builds his practice upon the basic tenets of honesty, respect, and fairness.
“I am always honest with my current and potential clients. I will always treat them with respect and tell them what they need to hear to get the best possible result. I’m not interested in telling them what they want to hear to get them to hire me or to impress them in the short term,” he said.
“By way of examples, if a potential client doesn’t need an attorney I will and have told them that. If they have been told by other attorneys that there is a risk of jail and I know that isn’t true, I will tell them that, even if that causes them not hire any attorney, including me,” Panighetti concluded.
It can be frightening and frustrating to traverse this road as a criminal defendant without a good defense attorney. That is why hiring a criminal defense attorney in Erie PA like Justin Panighetti, who has been a prosecutor, who cares about both you and your case, and who will be honest with you can and will make all the difference.

SC Edil, one of the leading companies in Italy in the sector of production and sale of scaffolding better known as “mobile scaffolding” or “scaffolding on wheels”, now opens its doors to the European market. After the long and successfully gained experience in Italy, the products will now also be available in Europe. The decision was made after a logistics agreement, in fact all the scaffolding will be shipped free of charge to Europe.
The strengths of SC Edil are undoubtedly:
Made in Italy production, undisputed quality both in terms of materials and safety.
The “anti-cut” assembly system guarantees a quick and safe solution. Furthermore, all scaffolding are equipped with safety certification. All products are also covered by a three-year warranty.

In accordance with current regulations complete with a section dedicated to the 14-day right of withdrawal, company description, products in accordance with the law and general information.
Surely the experience of over twenty years and the basis of the success of this reality created by Salvatore Casto and Carlo Stamerra and the long road from small business to a successful company is certainly not reserved for everyone.
It takes courage and innovative ideas as well as always looking for the best for their customers and so the two owners today boast a highly respected team ready to serve new customers throughout Europe by challenging foreign competition.
Scaffold towers are not just needed only in the construction sector any more. Many countries in Europe are creating a need for scaffold towers as they help in reducing the risk and increasing efficiency at large scale public events.

A scaffold tower is actually an advanced type of scaffolding for applications that require mobility. Galvanized steel scaffolding towers are lightweight, facilitate construction and are easy to reposition.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) mandated the reform of the consumer mortgage disclosure forms. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) spent years working with the mortgage industry to come up with updated versions of the Truth-in-Lending Act (TILA) and Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) Integrated Disclosures (TRID).
“A little more than five years after a pretty painful implementation, it looks like TRID could be one of the next priorities on the regulatory reform agenda,” said SitusAMC Managing Director Tom Cronin.
The CFPB published a Request for Public Comment at the end of November soliciting feedback on the 2013 final TRID rule. As the agency reviews stakeholders comments it will also conduct its statutorily mandated assessment of rule, examining its effectiveness based on available evidence and data. To support its assessment, the CFPB has invited comments on recommendations to modify, expand or eliminate TRID altogether. Comments are due by January 21, 2020.
The 2013 rule, which went into effect in October 2015, created the Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosures used in mortgage loan applications today. “The new disclosures required significant time and resource investments on the part of lenders to update their systems and retrain staff,” said Cronin. “The original rollout had a bumpy start causing delays in the loan process.” Lender origination costs reportedly increased by more than $200 per loan following implementation.
“While the industry adjusted to the disclosures, issues around timing and tolerances remained a source of confusion for the industry,” said Cronin. To reduce that confusion, the 2015 rule was amended in July 2017 and April 2018.
The CFPB said in its Request for Public Comment, “While such amendments are not intended to be the subject of this assessment, the Bureau may consider certain of the amendments to the extent that doing so will facilitate a more meaningful assessment of the TRID rule and data is available.”
From consumers and consumer advocates to housing counselors, lenders, settlement agents and other industry stakeholders, the CFPB has asked for comments on the effects of this landmark post-crisis mortgage rulemaking on consumers, private companies and the housing market.
“We’ll be keeping a close eye on what major industry groups have to say in their comments and how the CFPB responds in the new year with its five-year post-implementation assessment,” said Cronin.
