Beckatt Solutions stands ready to support hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic by offering 3D printing of medical supplies and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in short supply.

Elgin, IL – As hospitals and health care providers have been inundated with COVID-19 patients, they have faced significant challenges in procuring medical supplies and PPE, many of these critical in the pandemic fight. The additive manufacturing community has rallied around this cause, as 3D printing companies have offered their services during the pandemic to providers most in need. Beckatt Solutions, a Chicagoland-headquartered technology and 3D printing solutions company, has recently joined the initiative to enable hospitals across the United States with 3D printing support during the Coronavirus outbreak.

Beckatt Solutions is joining forces in a network of 3D printing companies, experts and designers to help hospitals in short supply easily 3D print tools, medical parts and PPE. The company is offering their resources and capacity on all 3D printers across their four offices to hospitals facing immediate delivery shortages of critical medical parts and PPE. Beckatt Solutions’ Elgin, IL office, which houses the largest number of 3D printers, will serve as Beckatt’s main 3D printing hub, while their offices in Phoenix, Las Vegas and Minneapolis will support the cause with 3D printers of their own.

In addition to providing 3D printing services for hospitals in need, Beckatt Solutions is participating in 3D printer manufacturer Ultimaker’s two-part initiative, which connects 3D printing hubs and distributors to local institutions. Through this global initiative, hospitals can now learn the location of available 3D printing hubs, and Beckatt Solutions has offered up their services across the United States. Beckatt Solutions is a premier distribution partner of Ultimaker 3D printers, the global leader in desktop 3D printing.

“Beckatt Solutions is committed to serving the healthcare community during the COVID-19 pandemic” said Matt Pray, Beckatt Solutions Managing Partner and Co-Founder. “We are thankful to be part of this global cause to help hospitals in need by 3D printing medical components in short supply. We are also grateful to have a partner like Ultimaker who is dedicated to helping during the Coronavirus outbreak, through their initiative connecting 3D printing hubs and hospitals. What’s more, this initiative shows that 3D printing is critical for businesses’ continuity in times of crisis, and we expect that more institutions will embrace the technology once things return to normal.”

Ultimaker, with the help of their local 3D printing hubs like Beckatt Solutions, launched a two-part initiative to help hospitals in these unprecedented circumstances to quickly replace parts and tools that are in short supply with the help of 3D printing:

• Print Support: Ultimaker has created a global network of 3D printing hubs, including Beckatt Solutions, directly available to hospitals to assist in printing parts locally.

New York, NY, March 28, 2020 -- UGE International Ltd. (TSXV: UGE) (OTCQB: UGEIF) (the "Company" or "UGE"), a leader in commercial and community solar energy solutions, is pleased to announce that it has signed three agreements to develop, build, and finance solar projects, including the Company's largest US project in its history.

First, UGE signed a 6.6MW project in Westchester, NY. The project, on a well-known corporate campus, will take advantage of New York's community solar program by feeding energy into the grid and providing energy credits to community solar subscribers at a discounted rate. The project is approximately 12-15 times the size of UGE's average project and, when completed, will produce power for an estimated 1,000 homes for the duration of the system's lifetime. UGE has also reserved the option with the utility to couple the solar system with battery storage, which would provide a further boost to project revenue and returns.

Second, UGE signed a nine-site portfolio in New York City for a repeat client. The 1.7MW project portfolio will lease the rooftops of the buildings on which UGE will install solar systems. The projects will utilize the same community solar subscription program as described above, offering New York City residents an opportunity to save on their energy bills through solar energy.

Third, UGE signed an agreement to develop, build, and finance a community solar project in Maine. The project is expected to have a rated capacity of 1.1MW and will feed its energy directly into the grid as part of the state's solar net metering framework. In the past six months, Maine has become a top community solar market and UGE has affirmed itself as a leading market participant, with a pipeline of opportunities throughout the state.

The three solar projects have a total rated capacity of 9.4MW, with an estimated present value of almost USD$20 million across the portfolios. The Company expects to complete the projects through the end of 2021 with gross margins in line with its current expectations for self-developed projects.

"UGE continues to see growing demand, even in the face of the sudden downturn in the economy," said UGE's CEO, Nick Blitterswyk. "Community solar allows real estate owners to boost revenue by receiving lease payments for their empty rooftops and open land, which is especially attractive during a time when their revenue may otherwise be decreasing."

About UGE International Ltd:
UGE delivers immediate savings to businesses through the low cost of solar energy. We help commercial and industrial clients become more competitive by providing low cost distributed renewable energy solutions at no upfront cost and maximum long-term benefit.

The Mad Dogs of War are on the Loose and out of Control.

London, England, Mar 28, 2020 -- Freelance war correspondent Mike Walker's reporting of the truth is becoming increasingly difficult and dangerous in a turbulent world where apathy, corruption, ethnic cleansing, genocide, greed, hatred, human trafficking, racism, selfishness, violence, and endless conflicts prevail; where freedom of expression and a free press are subject to restriction and criminalisation; where gutless self-censorship by corporate journalists is overseen by newsroom editors inhibited by their own cowardice and the vested interests of mainstream media proprietors; where technology's potential to liberate is instead used to condition, control, and condemn people to being subservient subjects rather than critical citizens; where the European Union is disunited and deteriorating, and the American Dream has become a nightmare within a dying democracy under the presidency of a deranged lunatic; where the opponents of truth, freedom, and justice continue to be highly organised, well financed, efficiently deployed, and in complete control of what the general public gets to hear, read, and watch.

When a Private Military and Security Company starts paying Walker close attention, however, and MI5 becomes involved, has Walker gone one report too far?

Will Walker and his girlfriend survive the intrusive surveillance and threats of physical harm?

Skaffolder introduces a new open source All in One DevOps Tool that can accelerate the web and mobile application development process.

Austin​​​​​​, Texas, USA, March 27, 2020 - Skaffolder, an innovative code generator tool that bridges the gap between low code and custom code solutions offers the latest, open-source tool to the developer community. 

The specs-driven code generation tool features an intuitive interface and easy-to-use templates that help to save up to 40% of development time. Also, coupled with an open-source component, Skaffolder allows developers to create web or mobile applications from the command-line. Along with the command-line tool, the innovative web application tool offers a VSCode extension that enables developers to use the command-line tool’s features from the VSCode interface. Hence, developers can interact with Skaffolder without leaving their integrated development environment. Also, providing them with a visual interface locally to define APIs and databases. 

The Founder and CEO of Skaffolder, Luca Carducci, has confidence that the developer community is the best contributor for open-source tools as he has been a long time developer himself.  “We want to embrace the ideas and innovations that are always thriving from the developer community,” said Luca Carducci. “We here at Skaffolder have all stakeholders in mind when it comes to code development from the freelance developer to the high profile company with a team of developers.” 

The intuitive and well-thought-out design of Skaffolder’s templates is complemented with the multiple programming languages the open-source tool supports. These include PHP, Angular JS, React Native, Java, Go, JavaScript, and Xamarin. More so, as a spec-driven code generator tool, it can easily import OpenAPI 3.0 and integrate with the most common tools for API design.

About Skaffolder
Skaffolder envisions to offer solutions that can optimize a developer’s time and resources through a smart-interface, multi-language code generator that makes documentation and collaboration easy. The spec-drive, open-source tool currently has close to 10,000 users with an enterprise solution that helps companies reduce development time and costs almost in half.
