Panasonic Introduces TOUGHBOOK G2 with 5G Option

Panasonic Mobility

Panasonic System Solutions Company of North America, Division of Panasonic Corporation of North America (“Panasonic”), today announced availability of the TOUGHBOOK G2 with a 5G option. The rugged device will be available in the U.S. market supporting both 5G Sub6 and 5G mmWave network technologies. The 2-in-1 detachable future-proofs wireless communications capabilities for mobile workers. In an increasingly connected world, mobile workers need data faster than ever before. With speeds 10x faster than 4G, reduced latency by up to 90% and increased capacity for uploading and downloading data in seconds, 5G will significantly transform the efficiency of daily workflows. For mission-critical teams, 5G ensures faster speed and reliable connectivity allowing them to collect data on the spot, and make informed, timely decisions. 5G’s strong encryption also allows mobile workers to safely and securely share sensitive information, and more effectively leverage trending advanced technologies from drones, to the Internet of Things (IoT), Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). “As 5G technology matures and network roll-outs continue across the U.S., front-line workers in the most rugged and challenging environments can now use the TOUGHBOOK G2 devices for their next generation business applications and use cases, which will require 5G connectivity,” said Craig Jackowski, GM of Product Management at Panasonic. “The introduction of a 5G-enabled TOUGHBOOK device is yet another example of our strong commitment to our customers by constantly improving and innovating our products and delivering the latest technologies to meet their ever-changing needs.” From public safety and federal agencies, to utility field workers, 5G connectivity is available in both urban and rural areas. Mobile users will have access to information in real-time, increasing productivity and boosting efficiency. With enhanced video and streaming quality, mobile workers can better capture images in surveillance footage and share pertinent information in real-time. Emergency personnel using 5G can stay situationally aware, eliminating distractions and obstacles that slow connections can cause, when responding to incidents. Similarly, for mission-critical scenarios, clearer feeds mean that agencies using drones can better respond and allocate the necessary resources to tackle it. Combining all of these benefits of 5G connectivity with the TOUGHBOOK device capabilities such as long-lasting battery, modularity, and ruggedness, mobile workers across various industries can perform their jobs with greater efficiency that is required in today’s environment. The TOUGHBOOK G2 product with the 5G option will be available in March 2022, starting at $4,099 MSRP on AT&T and Verizon networks.

News Direct aims to redefine the staid, decades-old newswire industry with access to an expansive global network of media agencies, news outlets, and trade press—via an automated, secure, and collaborative workflow that eliminates the costly, time-consuming, and outdated editorial layer of traditional providers, all with no word count or geographic-based pricing parameters.

We are proud to welcome News Direct to our platform, and are excited to continue working with them throughout 2022 and beyond.” “Having spent more than 32 years at one of the industry's leading providers, including the last seven as president, I started News Direct because I knew the category was dominated by incumbents that had grown change-averse and overly protective of a historically lucrative, but increasingly outdated, business and service model," said Gregg Castano, Founder and CEO of News Direct. “We’re delivering a novel, reimagined, and simplified workflow to meet the needs of 21st century professionals across communications, PR, investor relations, content marketing, and other segments.

News Release

Playtech Launches Two New Live Casino Facilities in Multi-State Rollout

LegitimateCasino.com

Playtech’s official US launch comes in the form of two new cutting edge live casinos, the first located in New Jersey, and the second located in Michigan. The Southfield, Michigan location opens under the “ Play Gun Lake ” brand with newly partnered powerhouse Parx, while the Atlantic City, New Jersey location opens with longtime partner Bet365. This is the first single-day dual roll-out of live casino facilities in the history of US gambling. So what do these casinos offer? Both casinos feature live Roulette, Bacarrat and Blackjack, with some new twists on some old favorites. Playtech’s new live casinos both offer All Bets Blackjack, in which an unlimited number of players can participate. This is supposedly the “leading scalable variant” of Blackjack, according to industry leader Playtech. Both casinos have also included Quantum Roulette Arcade, the first American roulette variant containing a multiplier feature. With this feature, players can hit a multiplier up to 1000x! Specifically designed for the American market, this double-zero variant claims to be the highest potential payout for Roulette that has ever existed. Further planned launches in the coming months will feature games based on the most popular game shows, as well as a sports-focused section for players who love betting the sports book side of things. The dual launch continues Playtech’s aggressive US expansion plan, supporting the two communities by creating thousands of jobs and supporting philanthropic efforts in both cities. Further US expansion is all but guaranteed in the coming few years. Playtech is currently involved in a bidding war over who will take charge of these two new facilities. The leading player is Aristocrat, which entered a massive $3.7B bid. We’ll save you the conversion–that’s 3.2B euros, and 2.7B Pounds (Playtech is traded in London). However, a competing bid by rival gaming company JKO by January 26th has stalled the shareholder vote on which company will take over the facilities. How will the online gaming industry be affected? What affects will Playtech’s launch of two state-of-the-art live casinos have on the online gaming industry? How will online casinos be impacted by the simultaneous launch of two live casinos by the world’s leading gambling technology company? The short answer is… They won’t be affected. At all. Live casinos online have experienced a continuous rise in popularity in the last decade, with the pandemic and the growing use of cryptocurrencies spurring the annual increase in both number of players and gross revenue year over year. Online casinos are roughly 100x faster than live casinos, which is attractive to the Millenial and Gen-Z players who gravitate toward all things digital. Online gambling remains more secure, faster, and safer than live casinos, with the added bonus of being able to play anytime, anywhere, from the comfort of your own home. After all, why exchange chips, when your chips can be on your screen? CEO Edo Haitin released a statement regarding the launch: “This is a landmark moment for Playtech and our development in the U.S. and it is something we are all very excited about. We are humbly grateful for the warm welcome and support our teams have received from the Atlantic City and Southfield communities, and we are looking forward to becoming an integral part of these communities and contribute our part. The launch of the two facilities represents our core strategy of bringing our industry-leading studio standards to the U.S. whilst ensuring that Playtech Live’s most engaging and innovative products and technology are available to new markets and audiences. By partnering with Parx Interactive in Michigan and bet365 in New Jersey, we have been able to enter some of the fastest growing states in the U.S. and Playtech’s vision and drive for growth in these states has been well received by the local communities. Launching two state-of-the-art studios across two regulated states in one day is not something I have seen done before, but I am incredibly proud of the entire Playtech Live team for stepping up to the challenge and producing not one, but two best-in-class Live Casino studios. By developing specially customized gameplay experiences for the U.S. audience, we are confident we will deliver an exceptional online experience to players in Michigan and New Jersey, and we are excited to continue our journey with further strengthening our Playtech Live offering with more leading titles and content in the coming months.” Key Takeaways Playtech’s successful dual-launch of two live casinos in Michigan and New Jersey is the first in US history, and continues their US expansion plan. All Bets Blackjack and Quantum Roulette Arcade are the leading scalable variants, and potentially highest-paying versions of the standard games. Further launches will include sports betting and games based on the most popular gameshows. Either Aristocrat or JKO will take charge of the two new live casinos.

NLPC Asks Verizon to Pull Vicious Jim Carrey From Super Bowl Ad

National Legal & Policy Center

Today, National Legal and Policy Center called for Verizon to pull its controversial Super Bowl commercial featuring Jim Carrey. For what will be its highest-profile advertisement of the year – on the Super Bowl broadcast – Verizon decided to have comedic actor Jim Carrey reprise his role from the 1996 dark comedy “The Cable Guy” to promote its new 5G wireless service. From Monsters & Critics: “Something big is almost here! Your internet will never be the same,” Verizon wrote in a tweet on Tuesday with a 10-second teaser… In the teaser clip, the camera view is zooming towards an apartment door from the inside. Someone is repeatedly ringing the buzzer and banging on the door. A woman goes over to the peephole and looks out to see who is causing all that commotion. “Cable Guy!” the 60-year-old Jim Carrey yells as he comes into view through the peephole. “Who thought this was a good idea?” asked Paul Chesser, director of the Corporate Integrity Project for the National Legal and Policy Center. “Unfortunately, Carrey, to most Americans, is no longer the lovable goofball of the “Ace Ventura” films or “The Truman Show.” During the Trump administration he revealed a second career as a crass painter of brutal, disgusting depictions of the former president and his family.” Among the repulsive illustrations – often disseminated on Twitter – were images of Trump in various states of undress; having sex with Stormy Daniels; falling asleep watching porn while COVID raged; and his sons being gored by an elephant. "Regardless of how one feels about the former President, Carey’s artwork is so vulgar and over the line, Verizon should not air the add," Chesser continued. " This is who Verizon and Chairman/CEO Hans Vestberg decided should promote its powerful new wireless service, on the day of the biggest sporting event of the year – one which is intended to bring Americans together for fun and to forget the troubles of the world for a few hours." Founded in 1991, NLPC promotes ethics in public life and government accountability through research, investigation, education, and legal action.

VEEPIO Announces Landmark Partnership Between NFL Alumni Association and HBCU Week Foundation

VEEPIO Holdings, LLC

VEEPIO Holdings, LLC (VEEPIO), the integrated ecommerce platform using technology to change how athletes can earn money from their names, images, and likenesses (NIL), has announced the formation of a three-way partnership, entitled Project Unite, that includes the NFL Alumni Association (NFLA) and the HBCU Week Foundation, Inc. Using its status as digital agency of record for both parties, VEEPIO will create digital infrastructure and evergreen programs linking NFL Alumni with all HBCUs to activate brand sponsorship dollars and create lasting economic equity for these schools and their students. Project Unite will promote HBCU sports, entertainment, and education through NFL alumni and player stories highlighted during NFL and HBCU tentpole events. These tentpole events include (among others) Super Bowl week, the HBCU Battle of the Bands, and the annual CIAA basketball tournament. In addition, the NFLA will co-host multiple events each year to raise funds for HBCU Week’s scholarship initiatives. Project Unite will rely on VEEPIO's best-in-class digital tools, including an ESPN-like app that will house content from all 101 HBCUs, to fulfill its mission. The app will serve as a mobile command center for HBCU sponsor activation, including sponsored content between the NFLA and HBCUs. These sponsor activation opportunities will extend from HBCUs through to their students and student-athletes, who will have the opportunity to earn sponsorship money through the NCAA’s new NIL rules, while maintaining ownership of their personal and sponsorship data. “Finding unique ways to support and empower HBCUs is a critical part of our mission to serve NFL alumni,” said NFLA President Beasley Reece. “Finding a way to leverage the numerous HBCU graduates in our organization for the betterment of their alma maters is one of our top priorities. VEEPIO’s plan to link the NFLA with HBCU Week will allow us to raise funds for causes close to our players’ hearts and create a lasting economic impact for future generations of HBCU students.” In addition to forming Project Unite, VEEPIO is proud to announce the creation of the Jack Spinks Scholarship, in honor of the first player from an HBCU to be drafted into the NFL. On behalf of Project Unite, VEEPIO will donate a $50,000 scholarship to HBCU Week for every $1 million in sponsorship money raised by the partnership. VEEPIO will also work with HBCU Week and the NFLA to provide internship opportunities for HBCU students. “It is truly an honor to facilitate a partnership between NFL alumni and HBCUs,” said Najee Goode, co-founder of VEEPIO, president of the NFLA’s Jacksonville chapter and Chairman of the National Programs Committee. “Creating lasting economic change through technology is a core part of VEEEPIO’s mission, and working in tandem with the NFLA will allow us to transform the sponsorship and fundraising opportunities that are currently available for HBCUs.” Project Unite will extend the reach of HBCU Week activities exponentially by giving all HBCUs access to the NLFA’s large media network, across platforms including broadcast, radio, podcasts, and social media. Leveraging NFL tentpole events, NFLA chapter reach, and HBCU Week reach, VEEPIO will enable the partnership to highlight and promote key accomplishments and new initiatives. HBCU Week fundraising opportunities will be supported by individual player and school stories that will be distributed through the HBCU Week digital platform and echoed by the NFLA player community. About VEEPIO Holdings, LLC VEEPIO is an integrated ecommerce platform, founded by West Virginia University grads, aimed at transforming how athletes monetize their personal brands. Co-founded by NFL linebackers Najee Goode and Grant Wiley, along with finance and tech expert Jonathan Ohliger, VEEPIO is changing the way fans interact with teams through mobile apps.

HBCU Week occurs annually, in the Fall. In 2022, HBCU Week will consist of a multi-city tour. The Foundation recently formed a partnership with Disney. HBCU Week will be hosted at Walt Disney World in October 2022. The most impactful event during HBCU Week is the College Fair. This fair is unique in that the majority of the participating colleges engage in an “on the spot” acceptance process, whereby, if the student attends with a copy of their school transcript and a report with the requisite SAT/ACT score, they could be admitted into college on the spot and offered a scholarship award. Since 2017, more than 3,500 acceptances on the spot have been offered and more than $25,000,000 in scholarships have been awarded. The Foundation's brand ambassador is ESPN's Stephen A. Smith.
