The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus (The Lennon Bus), the premier non-profit 501(c)(3) state-of-the-art mobile production facility that provides hands-on experiences for students of all ages, is stopping at three Utah locations in the coming weeks!
Assisted by three on-board engineers, students can learn how to write, record, and produce original songs, music videos, documentaries, and live multi-camera video productions – all in one day on a tour bus transformed into a state-of-the-art mobile audio and HD video recording and production facility. The Lennon Bus is committed to providing students with increased access to music, audio, video, and broadcast technologies, so it is an incredible opportunity for these young minds.
Let me know if you would like to visit the bus at any of the below stops for a tour and interviews with those involved and I will be happy to coordinate. Please see below for stop infomation.

Secretary Perdue Statement Regarding Chinese Duties on U.S. Sorghum
(Washington, D.C., April 18, 2018) – U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue today issued the following statement regarding China’s announcement of duties of almost 179 percent on U.S. sorghum imports:
“The international grain market is about the freest market there is, and it is ludicrous to even mention ‘dumping,’ because China can buy product from anywhere they choose. This is clearly a political decision by the Chinese and we reject their premise. Our sorghum producers are the most competitive in the world and we do not believe there is any basis in fact for these actions. As we explore options, we are in communication with the American sorghum industry and stand united with them. The fact remains that China has engaged in unfair trade practices over decades and President Trump is correct in holding them accountable. We remain committed to protecting American agricultural producers in the face of retaliatory measures by the Chinese.”

BEBOP SENSORS, WORLD LEADER IN SMART FABRIC SENSORS,
ANNOUNCES CLOSE OF $10M+ SERIES A FUNDING
LED BY BULLPEN CAPITAL
BeBop Sensors Has Multiple Design Wins with Fortune 500 Companies
in Health, Automotive, IoT, and AR/VR Markets
BeBop’s Products Include Forte Data Glove, Smart Helmet, Automotive Occupant Classification System, Smart Foot Mat & Track Pad
Press Release: http://www.thomas-pr.com/bebop/bebopsensorsbullpenrelease.html
Berkeley, CA, April 18, 2018 — BeBop Sensors, Inc. www.bebopsensors.com, the world leader in smart fabric sensors, announced today the close of its $10 Million+ Series A funding led by San Francisco-based Bullpen Capital, a leader in post-seed funding. With millions of sensors in daily use, BeBop Sensors designs, manufactures, and delivers smart fabric sensors to Fortune 500 companies in the Health, Automotive, IoT, and AR/VR markets. The funding will help BeBop aggressively accelerate product development and market penetration.
Winner of the Frost & Sullivan Innovation Award and Gartner Cool Vendors Awards, BeBop Sensors’ innovative technology products include the Forte Data Glove, the first fully featured data glove with sensors and haptics priced for the consumer market; the Sensor Helmet, first to provide location-specific impact information; Multi Sensor Insole that measures the changing forces on the bottom of the foot; Automotive Occupant Classification System embedded car seat sensors with intelligent car occupant sensing technology for safer airbag deployment; Smart Foot Mat, a high resolution sensor platform that accurately measures a person’s balance and detects anomalies in orthotic measurement that traditional methods are unable to; and Fabric Track Pad, an input device that can be conformed to a car’s interior for extreme accuracy to recognize taps, gestures, and swipes for unique applications; and many more ground-breaking flexible sensor technologies. Unlike other fabric sensors, BeBop’s sensors measure physicality, sensing pressure, XYZ location, bend, motion, rotation, angle, and torsion, for precise analysis of data.
“We believe BeBop to have fundamental technology that will be as important to AI and humans as cameras and microphones. Computers need to feel people, and fabric is already deployed in clothing, furniture and interiors. People are comfortable with it. The perfect place for physical sensors,” said Eric Wiesen, Managing Partner, Bullpen Capital.
Wearable Market Predicted to Grow Rapidly, Reaching $5 Billion by 2027
“We see the market for sensors in wearables including gloves for VR, automotive and gaming applications to grow rapidly, reaching $5B by 2027,” said Raghu Das, CEO of IDTechEx, independent market research firm for emerging technologies. “This market is also transitioning from rigid sensors such as FSRs to fabric-like, flexible, stretchable sensors. BeBop Sensors is uniquely positioned to take advantage of this transition and rapid growth in the market.”
“Flexible fabric sensors have emerged as one of the most sought-after sensors in markets that affect consumers every day, including automotive, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), wearables, health, sports, and remote sensing,” said Keith McMillen, Founder & CEO, BeBop Sensors in Sensors Magazine. “I am pleased to have Bullpen Capital with proven tech vision backing BeBop. When you are first in on a major tech innovation, it takes partners that can share that vision to succeed,” concluded McMillen.
Bullpen Capital is a leader in post-seed funding with over 70 companies in markets from fantasy sports to data center equipment. A venture fund with a differentiated strategy, Bullpen invests after the product has found a niche in the marketplace. Bullpen selects its companies based on three criteria: evidence of a product and market that is visible in operating data; sight lines to a milestone that inflects the company’s value; and a strong syndicate of existing seed investors. Bullpen helps these market leaders accelerate operating performance at this critical time, acting with greater speed than most other venture investors to help companies come to market quickly.
