following the criminal investigation into its data deals with tech giants. But according to Stephan Paternot, founder of the original social network theglobe.com, there’s only one way for the social media giant to stay afloat.
“We need some layers of technology to be for the people, by the people, that can supplant the privately owned social/financial/governmental utilities,” says Paternot, now featured in the Nat Geo series Valley of the Boom. “Something that can be a well-regulated, government backed public utility without being built or run by the government. The answer lies in the blockchain movement.”
Peter Blake Leadership Award
Aeryon Flight Training
Peter Blake of Aeryon Defense USA recognized with a Professional Education and Training Leadership Award for Technology Assisted Training Programs
Peter is a true professional. We have enjoyed working together on his vision for modern technology assisted training that reinforces learning and safe operations through practice and simulation.”
— Steve Klingler, CEO of Education Services LLC
SALT LAKE CITY, UT, USA, March 13, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Education Services LLC is proud to recognize Peter Blake of Aeryon Defense USA with a 2018 Professional Education and Training Leadership Award for Technology Assisted Training Programs.
Peter is being recognized for his vision and leadership in creation of the R60 SkyRanger and R80D SkyRaider pilot training programs. Over the past two years, Peter has overseen continuous evolution of this training from a fully in-person instructor-led experience to one that strategically leverages online technology to maximize efficacy, accessibility, and quality.
Participants now complete much of their training online through a series of highly interactive “pre-learning” modules that consist of multi-media instruction, interactive learning and practice activities, guided practice pseudo-simulators, and use of the full Aeryon Mission Control Software simulator right from within their web browser. Instructors can monitor engagement of and easily communicate with each trainee and training group and are able to take the entire training program offline for use in the field where Internet connectivity is not available. For trainees, the experience is intuitive and personalized, including branding specific to the service branch or department the trainee is affiliated with. Micro-learning modules and a gamified user interface make it easy for participants to maintain situational awareness, with progress indicators clearly identifying the modules they have completed and those that remain outstanding. The training also serves as an on-demand review, available to past trainees who wish to brush up on the system or practice in the pseudo-simulators or full MCS simulator.
The online training system also includes support for instructors by housing training guides and classroom presentation materials, helping to ensure that all trainees benefit from a consistently high-quality experience whether they are trained directly by Aeryon Defense USA personnel, partners, or military trainers.
Congratulations to Peter Blake and Aeryon Defense USA on this exceptional achievement!

Oakville, ON, CAN - March 14, 2019 - SEAWAY is thrilled to announce Fresh Produce, their upcoming album of b-sides and alternate versions of fan favorites such as "Lula On The Beach," "Slam," "Something Wonderful," and more. They've also given fans a taste of what's to come with "Pleasure," a brand new song and video from the release. Watch the video, and pre-order Fresh Produce, now at seawayband.com.
"Fresh Produce is a release that is somewhat years in the making. It is a compilation of new and old, fresh and reworked. It has 2 brand new singles, a couple reimagined versions of tracks from Vacation, as well as the rerelease of our 2014 EP, All In My Head," shares vocalist Ryan Locke.
He continues: "We sat on some of these songs for quite a while now, not really too sure what to do with them. It finally boiled down to us wanting to get them out there so we threw them all on one 12" for your consumption. We hope you enjoy Fresh Produce, it's good for you."
Formed in 2011, Seaway is Ryan Locke (vocals), Patrick Carleton (guitar, vocals), Ken Taylor (drums), Adam Shoji (bass), and Andrew Eichinger (guitar). The band has become known for their highly infectious brand of pop punk - one that strikes the perfect balance between the two styles and recalls a time when the genre centered on having fun.
Along the way, they released two energetic and explosive records-Hoser [2013] and Colour Blind [2015]-and churned out hits such as "Best Mistake" and "Sabrina The Teenage Bitch," which both cracked the 1-million mark on Spotify. Consistently averaging over 160K streams per month, they toured with the likes of Simple Plan, Neck Deep, and Four Year Strong between landing acclaim from Alternative Press, Rock Sound, Paste Magazine, and more.
Six years deep into their career, Seaway progressed the patented pop punk prowess that put them on the map with sharper songcraft and a nod to the nineties on their third full-length record, Vacation. The Ontario, Canada quintet confidently stepped up their game across the board, while maintaining the spark that ignited a fervent fan base.
Now they've returned with Fresh Produce, which will be released on April 19th via Pure Noise Records.Fans can check out the band's latest single "Pleasures" and pre-order the album now at seawayband.com.

Clear Aligners Are Popular Alternative
To Metal Braces, But Myths Persist
Instead of traditional metal braces, more people are opting for the clear aligners on the market such as Invisalign, Candid Co., Byte and similar products, but plenty of myths and misconceptions surround them.
“There are a lot of new clear aligner products hitting the market now, but many patients seem to be misinformed about them,” says Dr. Michael McCarthy, DMD, author of the new book The Smile of Your Dreams” (bhamorthodontics.com). “Patients should consult their orthodontist if they are confused about the issues concerning these devices.”
Clear aligners are almost invisible, are used to help adjust teeth, and are often considered a good alternative to metal braces, Dr. McCarthy says. They are customized for each patient’s mouth to fit snugly and securely.
“They can also be removed by the patient for sports and eating. They can be also be easily removed and put back in place for regular cleaning of the teeth and the aligner,” says Dr. McCarthy.
The aligners, over time, will begin to move teeth both horizontally and vertically as needed, Dr. McCarthy says. Patients typically visit the orthodontist every eight to twelve weeks to receive new sets of aligners and to check on progress.
Dr. McCarthy says some of the myths surrounding these products include:
More expensive. One of the biggest misconceptions about these products is that they are more expensive than traditional braces. However, the cost is about the same.
Not as effective as metal braces. Clear aligners work just as effectively as metal braces, even though they may not seem as sturdy, McCarthy says. However, more significant problems may require the metal braces.
Insurance doesn’t cover it. Most insurance companies that cover metal braces will cover the clear aligners as well.
Patient is too old. Braces and aligners will work well for people of almost all ages.
Too much maintenance. Clear aligners require about the same maintenance as traditional braces and may be even easier, since they can be taken out of the mouth for regular cleaning.
There is no discomfort. People often think that because they are clear aligners and are not made of metal, they are a painless alternative. Since teeth are being shifted into a new position, it may not be a comfortable experience regardless of what type of braces are used. The clear aligners may not be as uncomfortable as traditional braces because of the absence of metal wires, but patients should expect some discomfort and gum soreness.
Faster than metal braces. The teeth are slowly and slightly moving into position in very small increments, just as you would see with metal braces. Both types of braces take about the same amount of time.
“I think the use of clear aligners will continue to increase as more people find out about the advantages,” McCarthy says. “But they aren’t right for everyone, and you should consult with your orthodontist to determine what type of treatment is best for you.”
About Dr. Michael McCarthy
Michael McCarthy, DMD, received his orthodontic training while serving in the military. During his 10 years in the US Army, Dr. McCarthy rose to the rank of Major and served as a Green Beret. Dr. McCarthy author of the new book “The Smile of Your Dreams” (bhamorthodontics.com), is a board-certified orthodontist with more than 25 years of experience. He has been recognized as one of America’s top dentists by the Consumer Research Council every year for the past decade.
