UV technology for enhanced air and surface disinfection is ideally suited for AdvisorEngine's new open office space, addressing return-to-office concerns

ORLANDO, Fla., February 27, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Violet Defense has outfitted the new office location for AdvisorEngine, developers of a wealth management platform for financial advisories, with its patented UV disinfection technology, addressing the nationwide trend of employees' health concerns over returning to offices.

"Providing a safe and clean environment for our employees is a top priority, and the standard of protection against germs offered by Violet Defense gives us peace of mind," said AdvisorEngine CEO Richard Cancro.

According to research by McKinsey & Company, 30% of employees are concerned a return to the office will negatively impact their physical and mental health. McKinsey found that "improved air filtration was a core request, with 62 percent of respondents reporting that it could decrease the stress they experienced from returning on-site."

Violet Defense has developed advanced UV technology that is scientifically proven to kill germs. Its pulsed xenon solution produces a broad, powerful spectrum of ultraviolet light, including UV-C, UV-B, UV-A, and violet blue, which maximizes germ-killing efficiency.

AdvisorEngine's leadership team set employee health and well-being as a primary goal for employees' return to office. They worked with Violet Defense to proactively address three concerns:

• Giving staff the confidence that they could return to an in-person setting safely.
• Ability to easily disinfect shared spaces like conference rooms in between work sessions.
• Ability to safely disinfect IT equipment and trade show assets between uses—without chemicals that can damage the equipment.

Violet Defense solved those concerns with an integrated plan of installing Xenon UV disinfection solutions in the office spaces and shared bathrooms, and installing Fighter units from PURO Air into the building's two air handlers.

The pulsed Xenon UV disinfection system includes new Wi-Fi modules for enhanced control of the system, allowing AdvisorEngine staff to schedule the units' disinfection cycles from desktop, or activate on-demand.

"Violet Defense technology powers a wide array of products that can provide a customizable solution for virtually any facility, from conference centers and schools to hotels and hospitals," said David Scalzo, CEO of Violet Defense. "We're pleased to be able to give AdvisorEngine and its team a system that give them confidence to return to office safely, and with a solution suitable for their modern office, environmentally-friendly, chemical-free, effective and affordable."

As 87% of the American workforce returns to the office at least two days a week, health is paramount to organizations, both in an ongoing pandemic and annual flu seasons. Violet Defense's industrial UV sanitizer system is in place in office buildings, convention centers, athletic training facilities, hospitals, hotels, government facilities, schools and universities, and more.

As dog parents themselves, the Bark&Spark team understands the needs of dogs, so the company's products are created to meet the specific needs and health concerns of pets.

SHERIDAN, Wyo., February 27, 2023 (Newswire.com) - The US-based pet care brand Bark&Spark is strengthening its current offerings by debuting its latest product, Probiotic Chews for Dogs. Designed to support dogs' digestive systems, these recently added chewable supplements provide allergy relief and boost immune health, delivering a hit of potent enzymes in a tasty, chewable dose.

Bark&Spark has developed a product that could improve the lives of dog owners everywhere.

Dogs often struggle with gut issues such as gas, diarrhea, sensitive stomachs, loose stool, bad breath, and more. Such ailments can cause them severe discomfort and lead to unpleasant messes in the house. Packed with prebiotic and probiotic ingredients selected by trained vets, these dog chews could offer some valuable relief to dogs while helping them maintain general digestive health.

Beyond simple digestion, gut health has a deep connection to overall health in pets and humans alike, meaning these chewable snacks could also offer immune support for dogs. Health in the digestive tract is also known for keeping allergies at bay, which means the potential for noticeable improvements to a dog's skin and coat when using these supplements. 

Bark&Spark's chews are touted as perfectly dosed and compatible with any dog's diet, with just a few chews a day giving the desired effects. Whether a dog is big or small, a puppy or a senior, the supplements are designed to be suitable for all manner of canine companions. 

The company has attempted to differentiate itself from generic competitors by using only sustainably sourced, human-grade ingredients in these digestible dog chews. The fiber in the product is derived mainly from pumpkin and a variety of other natural sources, with the goal being to deliver the best digestive enzymes to dogs in a way they can easily absorb. 

These chews have been enhanced with a natural bacon flavor, making it easy for dogs to enjoy, unlike other pills and powders on the market. Each bottle contains 120 chews, and one purchase could provide up to a 2-month supply, depending on the dog's size.

About Bark & Spark

Bark&Spark have been selling its pet products for some time, with their range already including products for anxiety in dogs, allergy relief, hip & joint support, and skin & coat enhancers, among many more. With an emphasis on true pet wellness and natural ingredients, these new Probiotic Dog Chews are a fitting addition to their extensive selection of supplements.

LOS ANGELES, February 27, 2023 (Newswire.com) - A new study conducted by The Match Lab, a dating profile writing service, has revealed the top seven best dating profile tips for guys. This study analyzed survey responses from 100 women across the United States, all of whom were single, straight, and actively using dating apps.

According to the study, the best dating profile tips for guys are to:

1. Men should include more photos of themselves in their profile and use higher-quality photos.
2. Be unique. Create a dating profile that is original and conveys the person's personality, hobbies and interests.
3. Make sure your profile uses proper spelling and grammar.
4. Refrain from wearing sunglasses in your photos.
5. Be more open and vulnerable.
6. Men should use photos that show their face clearly.
7. Men should read women's dating profiles more closely before they match with them so they know if they're compatible or not.

The study also revealed 15 tips for how to message women on dating apps and how to keep a conversation going.

According to the study, the best dating app openers are written uniquely for each woman a guy matches with. Guys should use details from the woman's profile to craft their opening message rather than sending the same generic messages to all of their matches.

The study's results also show that being playful, straightforward and engaged are important when messaging women on dating apps. The study found that women tend to value men who send the first message, ask thoughtful questions and ask them out on a date before too much time has passed, with the ideal time for guys to ask a woman out being after they have each sent 5-10 messages.

Other tips for guys on dating apps, according to the study's results, are to be genuine, authentic and emotionally available.

"For a lot of guys, it can be tough to get matches on dating apps — and even tougher to get responses from matches," explains Dan Rosenfeld, founder of The Match Lab. "These findings give guys clear ways to improve their online dating life, whether they're using Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, Match or another app. With a better dating profile and a better understanding of how to message women, guys can make the most of their efforts and find what they're looking for."

NEW YORK, February 27, 2023 (Newswire.com) - iQuanti: Personal loans are a versatile financial tool that millions of Americans take advantage of each year. You can use a loan to consolidate debt, cover a car repair or medical bill, tackle a home improvement project, and even start a business or go on vacation. Whether you're new to personal loans or familiar with them, consider the following before taking one out.  

1. Personal loans can be unsecured or secured

Many personal loans are unsecured. This means you don't have to guarantee them with collateral or a valuable asset you own, like a house or car. Some personal loans, however, are secured and require the pledging of collateral. If you default on a secured loan, the lender will have the right to seize your collateral. A key benefit of a secured loan is that it may be easier to qualify for than an unsecured loan.  

2. There are many personal loan lenders 

All personal loan lenders are not created equal. That's why it's in your best interest to shop around and compare lenders like banks, credit unions, and online lenders. When you do so, you should explore rates, terms, fees, and perks. If possible, prequalify for loans from a few different lenders so you can check and compare their offers without impacting your credit score. Prequalification can make it a breeze to find the right lender and loan for you. 

3. Some personal loans have restrictions 

While most personal loans are flexible and can be used for just about any expense, some lenders impose restrictions on how you may use their loans. Depending on the lender, you may not be able to use the loan proceeds for post-secondary educational expenses like college, university, or vocational expenses, or to make a down payment on a home. Read the fine print before committing to a loan to understand all the restrictions. 

4. Good credit isn't always required 

A good credit score may open the doors to lower interest rates and more favorable terms. But you don't always need good credit to take out a personal loan. Many lenders are willing to lend to borrowers with fair credit or even bad credit. These lenders will look beyond your credit score and consider other factors like your debt-to-income ratio and employment status. Keep in mind that the terms offered by these lenders may not be as favorable as terms offered to consumers with better credit scores. 

5. There are online and in-person loan applications 

These days, most lenders offer an online application process. You can visit the lender's website and share your basic personal and financial details. While you will need to submit additional material like identity verification documents, bank statements, and pay stubs, the initial application process should only take a few minutes. If you prefer to complete an in-personal application, make sure the lender you choose has a branch near your home. 

6. Personal loans could help improve your credit score 

Payment history accounts for 35% of your credit score. If you make your personal loan payments on time, every time, you'll be building and probably improving your credit score. Remember that if you miss a payment or even just pay it late, your credit score will be affected and go down instead of up. 

The Bottom Line 

If you use it responsibly and understand it's not a long-term solution, a personal loan can come in handy every now and then. Before you move forward, compare all your options and read the fine print to lock in the best offer and avoid unwanted surprises down the road.

Original Source: 6 Things You Should Know Before You Take Out a Personal Loan

NEW YORK, February 27, 2023 (Newswire.com) - iQuanti: Whether you're a new driver or relocating to a place requiring a car, you may be wondering how to budget for your first new car. New cars don't come cheap and can cost tens of thousands of dollars, which makes a personal loan a good idea. The good news is you can take steps to find the ideal vehicle without breaking the bank.

Here are some helpful hints about how to budget for your first new car: 

Do your research 

Your first step is to determine what kind of new vehicle you need and maybe even how long you plan on keeping it. There are basic vehicles to get you from point A to point B without bells and whistles. Others are luxurious and come with every tech and safety feature you can think of. There are electric vehicles, hybrids, and internal combustion cars. There are sedans, SUVs, crossovers, and pickups. Some vehicles are imported, while others are from American manufacturers. With so many choices, it's crucial to complete your research and decide which type of vehicle you want.  

Follow the 10% rule 

If you have plans to finance your vehicle, your monthly payments should be no more than 10% of your net income. This might mean you choose a compact sedan instead of a full-size, fully-loaded SUV. By doing so, you'll be able to make your monthly payments and won't have to worry about a potential repossession.

Consider the total price 

In a perfect world, you'd buy a car without worrying about other costs. The reality, however, is there are what amount to the hidden charges of owning a vehicle. For this reason, you should set aside another 10% of your net income to cover the cost of registration, gas, car insurance, repairs, and routine maintenance like oil changes and tire rotations. Without wiggle room in your budget, a car can quickly become a financial burden.

Decide if you'd like to buy or lease

You'll also need to decide if you want to buy or lease your new vehicle. While buying a car is usually the more cost-effective option, especially if you plan to drive it for a long time, leasing may make sense in some situations. A lease is worth considering if you prefer a new model with the latest and greatest features but can't afford to buy it outright. Keep in mind there are different kinds of leases. For example, dealer ads will often feature low-mileage leases, which have lower monthly payments but could be very costly if you exceed the mileage allowance and need to pay extra. A lease might be a good fit if you like driving a new car every few years. 

Save for a down payment 

In most cases, a down payment is required, even if you're leasing or using a personal loan to buy a car. Whether a deal with a low-down payment or no down payment at all is available, it's in your best interest to put down as much of a down payment as possible. A larger down payment means lower monthly payments. It can also make it easier for you to own your vehicle free and clear sooner.

Be strategic about when you buy 

There are certain times of the year when it's more likely to land a great deal on a car. By knowing when they are, you could save thousands of dollars on your purchase. If you can, wait to buy a vehicle at the end of the month, on Mondays, on Black Friday, on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day, or when a model has been discontinued.  

The Bottom Line 

Budgeting for your first new car is no easy feat. However, it's essential if you'd like to keep your finances in good shape. To budget for your new car, research, follow the 10% rule, consider the total price, decide if you'll buy or lease, save up for a down payment, and be strategic about when you buy.
