The National Day of Clogging and The International Day of Clog Dancing will be observed on August 8th as a celebration of the contributions of the late Bill Nichols, who was affectionately known as “The Grandfather of Modern Clogging”.

South Carolina, USA., July 27, 2020 -- August 8th, 2020 is being recognized as the first annual National Day of Clogging and the International Day of Clog Dancing as a celebration of the contributions of the late Bill Nichols, affectionately known as “The Grandfather of Modern Clogging”. The National Day of Clogging and the International Day of Clog Dancing (the words clogging and clog dancing can be used interchangeably) will give dancers from around the globe the opportunity to build awareness of the dance and the many contributions of Bill Nichols.

Growing up in the mountains of Western North Carolina and East Tennessee, Nichols’ sharing of clogging with tourists at Fontana Village Resort created a ripple effect that took the dance across the country and abroad. Nichols is credited as being the first person in America to give terminology, structure, and organization to this American folk dance that was a “melting pot” of percussive dances from any cultures. He created a dance movement that has resulted in elevating a regional recreational activity to a national competitive platform with international acclaim. Nichols created the first commonly used method for teaching clogging and developed the first vocabulary of step names. He formed the first clogging organization and helped to develop the first standardized rules for competitive clogging.

“He never made his work about “him,” said his daughter Simone Nichols Pace, who is coordinating the event. “His work was always for the benefit of future generations of dancers. Around the world, this is a day of celebration of our talents and a day of reverence for those who came before us. We can put our dancers in the spotlight and generate a multitude of publicity which will inevitably open many more doors of opportunity,” Pace said.

The culture that clogging instructors cultivate through the dance and for the clog dance families can be a bond for bringing many diverse cultures together to share the bonds of fun and friendship. Especially in these times, dance instructors are introducing many people to dance for fun and fitness via the internet. Bill Nichols believed that the best way to reduce cultural bias is to show someone care, share a meal, share a laugh, share a photograph, and share a dance. Bill would agree with diversity and inclusion expert Verna Myers: “Diversity is being invited to the party; inclusion is being asked to dance.” He may also add that leadership is “calling” the dance. By developing this culture during weekly dance classes, the reach into other areas of life can be extended. Dance instructors influence the minds and attitudes of those who dance with them.

Through the National Day of Clogging and International Day of Clog Dancing on August 8, 2020 there will be a celebration of common history, encouraging diversity and inclusion, and create a brighter future for dancers. Joining forces can make a difference.

We want to expand our production capacity and spread the mask all over the word. This is the best mask for your need. This mask is perfect for casual wearing like going to the grocery, drugstore, taking the public transport. The 'Peace of Mind' Mask.

Montreal, Canada., July 27, 2020 -- Dermagate, Inc., an innovative medical device manufacturer, and developer, today announces the publication of a pre-launch page for its crowdfunding campaign to expand the production of the Silver Ions Face Mask; the ‘Peace of Mind’ mask.

We have launched our first face mask model a couple of months ago and people loved it! Our silver ions face masks that are environmentally-friendly, practical, and cost-effective. They are the best choice for the majority of people. Our masks are made from heavy-duty silver-coated fabrics. They remain functional for months and likely for a complete year. The material keeps its antimicrobial properties, even after 100 washing.

Dr. Michel Aube, the Company’s Chief Science Officer states, “The creativity of the people and the quality of the silver-coated fabric are the core of the company. We want to be a part of this fight against Covid-19 and assist the community to get out of this crisis as soon as possible. I, along with many testimonial users, believe this is the best choice for a personal reusable face mask to combat the Covid-19 pandemic.”

We have completed our groundwork over the past few months and are poised to expand. You can now visit our pre-launch page at this address: www.facemaskideal.com.

With the outbreak of Covid-19 and the appeal from the government to manufacturers for help fighting the crisis, we stopped our medical device project for a few months and start to focus on the pandemic. We wanted to expand our production and give the world access to our leading-edge face mask. To make your own decision; you have to understand whether you need a mask that is certified for particle filtration or our ‘Peace of Mind’ face mask.

“Build it and they will come” only works in the movies.

Social Media is “build it, nurture it, engage them and they may come and stay”

- Seth Godin

The secret to great coaching - the quality of your relationships

Successful coaching businesses are those that lead to a relationship. Relationships truly are the new currency in today’s digital age. The voice of the client and the ability to provide a world-class service at every opportunity needs to be a top priority for every coach who is interested in building sustainable success into their business. It’s more important today than it was even five years ago as we evolve into today’s highly socialized marketplace where touchpoints almost demand to be turned into talking points.

As coaches we are no strangers to the conversation, it’s one of the most essential tools of our trade and this is good news because we know how to open conversations. It is conversations that lead to consideration, selection, renewal, referral, and advocates who will promote and defend our businesses and our brands.

Success in today’s market

In order to be successful in today’s market, we need to go beyond social media tools and tactics and develop a truly enabled and socially engaged coaching business. It’s not just about posting and promoting what you do, in fact, if that’s all you do it will hurt your brand.

It’s about creating value that accrues over time through loyalty, recommendations, and sharing. It’s about being aware of the measurements that calculate how well you are doing in creating authentic connections, inspiring interactions, and engagement with clients, colleagues, and prospects. It’s about getting social online!

Your social audience doesn’t owe you their attention. You have to earn it and that’s not done with a gimmick or a set of flashy ads.

The more connected people are the more they need to protect their space and the more selective they are about the information they choose to absorb. A social media consultant once told me, “Just because you are sitting in a bar doesn’t mean you want to spend all evening fending off unwanted advances” - the same is true for social media.

Zynecoin has been created to tackle challenges the African economy faces in a centralized system that lacks transparency and hinders growth.

Marrakech, Morocco, July 27, 2020 -- Africa-based Zynecoin is proud to announce its official website launch in English, French and Japanese, catering to their strong following of native speakers of these languages.

A cryptocurrency designed to improve Africa’s economic standing, the Zynecoin token supports African innovators and entrepreneurial ecosystems as well as humanitarian initiatives. With a built-in fee-split mining auto-allocation, the token guarantees that a percentage of the rewards is contributed directly to state treasury funds and NGOs.

“Africa was the birthplace of humanity. We want to return to Mother Africa, our source of sustenance,” declared Karim Benabdelkader, Chief Visionary Officer of Zynecoin. “If Africa is reborn, all of humanity also carries the hope of rebirth, and we have created Zynecoin for the sole purpose of promoting and elevating African projects and innovations.”

A Centralized System Lacking Transparency and Hindering Growth

Zynecoin’s main focus is to solve the major obstacles that the African market is facing. Although Africa is a rich and bountiful continent that possesses huge potential, this is likely to remain untapped if current conditions do not change.

The centralization of monetary systems has led to a serious lack of funding for startups, not to mention the high risk perception with regards to both lending to and investing in African entrepreneurs. The continent’s large informal economy has also resulted in pervasive tax evasions. All of these have led to a general aversion to funding African startups and innovative entrepreneurs struggle amidst such negating circumstances.

Zynecoin Solution: A Three-Pronged Approach

Through a three-fold approach, Zynecoin, its blockchain protocol WETHIO and its incubation center, Zynecoin Academy, have been established to work collectively and support economic development, drive technological innovation and improve Africa’s market standing throughout the continent.

As a cryptocurrency, Zynecoin overcomes borders and can reach out to global investors. Powered on its own Blockchain WETHIO in a decentralized ecosystem, Zynecoin’s innovative model improves transparency, security and enables smoother cross-border transactions.

The word ‘Wethio’ means ‘exchange’ in Wolof as the African blockchain is a protocol that is globally accessible. WETHIO also incentivizes collaborative PoS (Proof of Stake) mining in the hopes of encouraging widespread adoption amongst miners everywhere.

With a focus on building trust and privacy, business malpractices are opted out by smart contracts on the platform. The platform also provides users a secure place to build dApps which can reach millions living in the continent and beyond, and comes with the benefit of a common, trusted token. The Zynecoin wallet offers security, efficiency and transparency in conducting transactions.

The Zynecoin Academy focuses on incubating and supporting promising startups, helping them launch projects and d’Apps to increase their chances of success and scaling globally.

A Promising Start

Off to a promising start, Zynecoin has already signed a partnership agreement with the Ministere de l'Energie du Burkina Faso on 24th February 2020 to build a solar power plant in Burkina Faso in West Africa. According to Zynecoin, the 3 MW (megawatt) station will have the capacity to supply energy to more than 1,500 homes.

Start-up incubator KEOLID in Ouagadougou has also signed an agreement with Zynecoin to build assets on top of Blockchain WETHIO to raise funding for project development. To date, KEOLID supports 70 projects headed by young African entrepreneurs in fields with high development potential. The Zynecoin Academy will support African entrepreneurs who are building on the WETHIO protocol with seed funding.

In line with its humanitarian objectives, Zynecoin also organized ‘Operation COVID-19 SOS’, an initiative that saw the organization distribute 1.5 tonnes of food per week, over 8 weeks in Morocco to alleviate the financial difficulties families faced amid the pandemic. 70,000 ZYN was allocated for CSR to finance the distribution of 400 packages of 30 kg of 100% organic, basic-necessity foods that included fruits and vegetables.

As it continues to unleash the enormous potential of the African continent, while implementing its revolutionary and innovative solutions, Zynecoin has managed to attract investor interest. It is currently listed on established exchanges, Bibox, where the mainnet token swap from ERC-20 to Blockchain WETHIO was implemented; and PROBIT, where the token was recently listed.
