SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, invites registrations for its complimentary webinar, ‘Mold Prevention in the Softlines Supply Chain,’ which will be presented on November 9, 2021.

This event addresses an important issue for the leather and footwear industry and provides an opportunity to find out more about mitigating the problem.

The causes of mold, and how it grows and spreads will be addressed, including issues in the supply chain such as safety and security of source, the condition of packaging and shipping containers and the management and control of warehousing.

The many constituent parts of the footwear supply chain make leather vulnerable to mold, with the biggest potential risks coming from staining and fat spurs. Damage is not always obvious straightaway, but it can result in increased costs – from treatment, late deliveries, loss of sales and brand damage or product recalls.

Suitable for anyone in the leather and footwear industries with responsibility for quality control, the webinar is presented by Paul Bridge, Deputy Vice President, Connectivity and Products, Global Footwear and Leather. Paul has over 40 years of experience in technology and manufacturing of footwear and leather materials.

Clayton VIC: A new way of seeing the world is being provided by Blue Optical, with an emphasis on glasses to protect dry, sore eyes.

Blue Optical is a new e-commerce business that sells a range of blue light filter glasses for heavy computer screen usage and daytime and night-time use.

Business owner Dana Boyd is a registered nurse with more than 15 years in the health industry, with Blue Optical primarily selling to the Australian market.

She explained that blue light filter glasses are designed to reduce exposure to blue light to protect the eyes and lower the risk of fatigue and eye strain. 

Most commonly, blue lens glasses are recommended for workers who spend long periods staring at computer screens, but blue lens glasses can also benefit gamers and people who enjoy watching TV. 

Statistics suggest the average person watches more than 4 hours of TV per day. TV screens expose us to intense blue light, which can impact sleep patterns and quality and increase the risk of eye strain and headaches. 

One of the most significant advantages of blue lens glasses for TV fans is reducing exposure to blue light in the evening. Blue light influences sleep cycles. If you watch TV or use a tablet late at night, the blue light may affect the circadian rhythms, making it more difficult for you to sleep. 

She said that wearing blue light filter glasses every time you watch TV or use a digital screen will not harm your eyes, but you don’t need to use your glasses all the time. Ideally, you should wear your glasses when working at a computer or using a tablet or a smartphone for long periods.

There are no risks to eye health associated with wearing blue lens glasses for prolonged periods. You will not damage your eyes.

Successful axle.ai Equity Crowdfunding Campaign on Republic.co Passes $250,000 Raised With 4 Days Remaining.

Boston, MA, USA | September 23, 2021 -- Video management software vendor axle.ai was just covered in the prominent Business Insider website https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/axle-ai-the-search-engine-for-internal-media-files-is-equity-crowdfunding-to-make-video-editing-simpler-1030818742 , in an article describing axle’s startup journey and Republic.co equity crowdfunding round which ends midnight Pacific Time on Monday, Sept. 27th.

Axle’s previous equity crowdfunding round, in 2020, was oversubscribed, and the current round is rapidly approaching a similar outcome – over $250,000 (10x the original goal of $25,000) out of a possible $428,000 in this round is already committed. A 3-minute pitch video featuring the axle.ai management team can be viewed at https://tinyurl.com/axlein3mins , and the Republic campaign page is at https://republic.co/axle-ai .

The equity crowdfunding campaign highlights axle.ai 2021, the company’s browser-based remote media search software. The software includes a browser front end allowing multiple users to tag, catalog and search their media files, as well as a range of AI-driven options for automatically cataloging and discovering specific visual and audio attributes within those files. For instance, audio tracks can be automatically transcribed, with the resulting transcript immediately searchable in the timeline; likewise, axle.ai provides face recognition with integrated training for new faces over time. The modular nature of the system supports additional plug-ins for object and logo recognition, and identification of sports highlights. The software can be used to create distributed team workflows for storage pools that would otherwise be siloed and hard to search. To date, axle.ai has more than 700 customers worldwide, including high-profile names such as the NY Yankees, Madison Square Garden, the LA Clippers, PWC, Elevation Church, Paramount and Warner Bros. A recent profile of an axle customer, reality TV production house Pie Town (producers of HGTV’s House Hunting and Flip or Flop shows), can be viewed at youtu.be/H1xkcQ0YJO8.

One key for axle.ai in the last two years has been its software’s ability to enable remote work by video production teams. Often, video collaboration has relied on manual transfer of files between sites, often using portable hard drives and Fedex. Having a browser-based solution gives media teams much more flexibility in managing and staffing their projects to a quick outcome, and the ability to use AI-driven engines to search and reuse the content makes it much more valuable and relevant for modern marketing purposes, especially via social media.

Given the vast amounts of video – often many terabytes – that can be accumulated by a video team in even a single shoot, this system allows rapid search and management of those files over time. The software also includes a range of plug-in panels for Adobe’s Creative Cloud application suite software, which allow creative team members on any Mac or Windows laptop to directly search, access, and download media files wherever they are located. In addition, the company offers a no-code workflow automation tool, Connectr, as well as a freemium speech transcription tool, Ascribe. These are complementary to its core media management software and together provide a complete solution for axle.ai’s customers.

• This month, axle.ai announced that it had completed acquisition of Noscos, an AI/ML startup focusing on face recognition and logo recognition applications. This further enhances axle.ai’s technology stack while bringing new management strength to its engineering team in Eastern Europe.

• Another major announcement by the company was securing its largest deal ever – a $365,000 deployment at a major Asia-Pacific region broadcaster. Combined with other significant new customers as well as the new partnership with Seagate, this puts the company on track for a record year, with sales roughly double its 2020 tally.

• A recent strategic partnership with storage vendor Seagate is driving a new level of opportunity for axle.ai, as joint sales efforts target large brands and media organizations with significant storage needs. The two companies have concluded their first joint sale, with womens’ media network Togethxr, which includes Seagate’s Lyve Cloud and LaCie products, as well as axle.ai 2021.

Sam Bogoch, CEO of axle.ai, said “For years, creative teams have expressed the need for a simplified and cost-efficient way to remotely search and manage their content. Legacy solutions for broadcasters have been expensive and complex, but our mission is to state-of-the-art AI and MAM (media asset management) capabilities to the widest possible range of creative teams. Our second successful Republic equity crowdfunding raise is helping us achieve these goals.”

There is a worldwide explosion of video content. The market intelligence firm IDC has estimated that the sum of data generated globally by 2025 is set to accelerate exponentially to 175 zettabytes. A growing, double-digit percentage of this storage is used to house media files. Meanwhile, approximately 400,000 video teams worldwide are responsible for capturing, editing, and managing this content, but much of it becomes difficult to leverage soon after capture; in a report commissioned by axle.ai’s partner Seagate, IDC estimates that more than two-thirds of data stored is not readily searchable or available for access after initial use.

Oleksandr Usyk collaborated with the newly launched innovative brand JAXET for the victorious fight. Oleksandr gloriously won the fight for the champion title. The team spirit on Usyk's side was also supported by a unique form designed by the brand JAXET (which has earlier launched its collection of innovative multifunctional jackets) in collaboration with Oleksandr.

London, UK, September 27, 2021 -- Tottenham Hotspur Stadium hosted the heavyweight championship fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua.

Oleksandr gloriously won the fight for the champion title.

The team spirit on Usyk's side was also supported by a unique form designed by the brand JAXET (which has earlier launched its collection of innovative multifunctional jackets) in collaboration with Oleksandr.

The brand is inspired by modern heroes and that is why the first collaboration is meant to support the spirit of one of the greatest heroes of nowadays — Oleksandr Usyk.

JAXET team and Oleksandr actively collaborated on Oleksandr’s big entrance outfit, having developed the waistcoat, shorts and shoes in cooperation.

When developing JAXET, the brand’s founder & Chief Product Architect, Artur Mkhitaryan, and the Head of Design and Technology Department, Vik Mankowski, drew inspiration from the technologies of the future and space motives. This was a complete match with Oleksandr and his long-term passion for space and futurism, which adds even more to the meaning of the collaboration.

Oleksandr Usyk shares his thoughts on choosing JAXET for such an important event: “Sports and technology have a lot in common, including the need for precision, determination and ingenuity. I believe that every movement should be calibrated and effective, and here my point of view coincided with the vision of JAXET: this brand works in a proactive mode, merging fashion and technologies. This gives a feeling of not just wearing a clothing item but of going one step further, and living the future which is already happening now. And, genuinely, my first impression after putting on JAXET was “I really do feel like a Superhero!”.

JAXET — is a perfect symbiosis of fashion and innovative technologies.

Brand’s main item — a jacket with built-in additional technological features — is a solution for the challenges of the modern world. It provides protection from the negative environmental impact, card and phone scams, optimizes day-to-day processes and even simplifies communication.

Namely, integrated technologies allow the user to enjoy the benefits of the wireless phone operations, simultaneous translation, NFC token, protective anonymity lens and a special security pocket.

Brand’s founder, Artur Mkhitaryan, was always inspired by innovative solutions that can change the usual perception of reality.

That is why this idea was taken as a base of JAXET creation: the idea to develop technological, stylish and comfortable clothing that will not only help create a personal style, allowing one to stand out in a crowd, but also provide protection from the physical and digital worlds through integrated innovations.

Artur Mkhitaryan, JAXET`s founder and Chief Product Architect: “JAXET is created to inspire you to build the new world where you are a driver for change. It is created for anyone who takes on obstacles and challenges with their head held high, and who wants their style to reflect their determination and ambition. JAXET is an embodiment of the boldness and vigour, irreplaceable for any achievements in sport”.

JAXET is an innovative brand founded in 2021 by Artur Mkhitaryan. The brand draws inspiration from space and gaming worlds. The brand’s unique approach is to combine fashion and technologies in one multifunctional gear of the future.
