Legacy Suite, an industry leader in digital asset preservation, announces the release of LegacyPass™, its tailor-made solution for accessing, managing and sharing passwords conveniently from desktop or mobile devices. Passwords alone can no longer meet today's security needs; leveraging the immutability of the blockchain on the backend enables a seamless and password-less environment, allowing users to access accounts securely from all their devices with one click.
"We are thrilled to introduce the LegacyPass™ password manager to the market," said Gordon Bell, Founder and President of Legacy Suite. "Our team has worked hard to create a product that not only makes it easy to manage and protect your passwords but also keeps your sensitive information and documents secure."
A NordPass study found that the average person has roughly 100 passwords. According to Statista, approximately 15 million data records were exposed worldwide in the third quarter of 2022 alone—a figure that has increased by 37% compared to the previous quarter. With the growing number of online accounts and the increasing importance of strong passwords, it can be difficult for individuals and businesses to keep track of login information. LegacyPass™ solves this problem by securely storing a user's passwords in one convenient digital vault secured by the blockchain.
In its two years of operation, LegacyPass™ has had zero breaches and accumulated over 25,000 users. LegacyPass™ password manager uses AES256 encryption to ensure passwords and sensitive data are safe from potential hackers. Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme (ECIES) combines ECC-based asymmetric cryptography with symmetric ciphers to provide data encryption, enabling smaller key sizes and reducing storage and transmission requirements.
Blockchain technology can revolutionize the way passwords are secured and managed. Using a decentralized, distributed ledger to store password information makes it virtually impossible for hackers to access or compromise data. Blockchain allows the data to be spread across a network of computers, making it more difficult to access or alter. Additionally, blockchain can provide added security measures such as encryption and secure key management, further protecting password information from unauthorized access.
Overall, the use of blockchain to secure passwords has the potential to significantly improve the security and reliability of online systems and services. To learn about Legacy Suite and how to secure digital assets, please visit https://www.legacysuite.com.

Houstonians love their celebrities. But what if they could get the same treatment a celebrity gets when they visit the dentist? Brownstone Dental, founded by Dr. Saif Shere, is now offering the latest in dental technology and care to its patients with a new way to treat both general and cosmetic dental needs.
"We are so excited to offer this new opportunity for our patients," said Dr. Shere. "I really believe that everyone deserves a chance to feel like they're getting VIP treatment when they go to the dentist."
Known for his expertise, Dr. Saif Shere graduated with honors and became a board-certified dentist in 2008. Later, in 2010, he founded his own practice - Brownstone Dental. After more than a decade of service, Dr. Saif Shere has earned the reputation of being Houston's premier dental practitioner.
Many prominent personalities, including rappers and athletes, have had their teeth worked on by Dr. Shere. His patients come from all over the world because they know they can trust him to do the best work possible. Dr. Shere understands that people have different needs when it comes to their teeth, and he makes sure to take those needs into account at every appointment.
Dr. Shere is famous for treating his patients with a level of care that goes above and beyond what most dentists provide, but what sets him apart is his approach to cosmetic dentistry, which is all about innovation.
"I want to give them the Bollywood smile," says Dr. Shere.
In an industry where most dentists are content with the same old procedures, he always looks for new ways to improve the smile of their patients. From advanced technology that allows him to offer the latest in dental techniques to the innovative use of customized methods, Dr. Shere has embraced the future of dentistry and uses it every day to help his patients get the perfect smile.
He went to Klein High School before attending the University of Houston and then Baylor College of Dentistry. If Dr. Shere wasn't a celebrity dentist today, he would likely be teaching history at an esteemed university somewhere around town.
Shere's first celebrity case was four years ago when he worked with a prominent rapper. In his own words, "Every patient is a celebrity to me! We treat all of our patients with extravagant care."
Dr. Shere believes that when it comes to getting the best, there's always room for improvement. With this in mind, he and his team have been working on new ways to help patients achieve their dream smile—one that offers more options than ever before.
For dental work that needs to be done soon, scheduling an appointment with Dr. Shere is possible at Brownstone Dental. They can be contacted at (713) 271-3000 or visited at 9824 Fondren Rd., Houston, TX 77096, United States.

The Digital Access and Devices workshop explores how to scale digital inclusion work domestically and internationally with corporate and nonprofit partners.
NORTH CONWAY, N.H., January 27, 2023 (Newswire.com)
-
Owning a large-screen device, such as a computer or tablet, is the foundation of digital equity. Giving individuals and communities access to a steady supply of free or low-cost large-screen devices helps to close the digital divide. This idea drives the work of Digitunity, a national nonprofit organization with over 40 years of experience in advancing digital equity through device ownership.
Because of this experience in increasing digital access through devices, Digitunity's executive director Scot Henley has been invited to participate in a Funder-to-Funder Workshop hosted by The Patterson Foundation in partnership with the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading entitled "Digital Access and Devices." The purpose of this workshop is to explore ways in which philanthropy can support expanding device ownership.
"By participating in the Patterson Foundation's workshop, we hope to demonstrate to corporate and philanthropic funders that by working collaboratively, it is within our reach to develop a lasting solution that makes it possible for residents in need to obtain affordable computers," Henley said.
Digitunity's mission is to close the digital divide. This is the challenge of 36 million Americans who do not have a computer at home and frequently reside in marginalized communities. These individuals often cannot access education, telehealth, and employment opportunities because they do not have a computer.
The Patterson Foundation strengthens the efforts of people, organizations, and communities by focusing on issues that address common aspirations, foster wide participation, and encourage learning and sharing. The Foundation's values guide its approach to philanthropy, demonstrating its collaborative philosophy and tenets of change.
The Patterson Foundation's Digital Access for All Initiative (DA4A) began with a multi-sector learning journey, exploring how thought leaders, government, businesses, and nonprofits operate and invest in digital access. After speaking to over 30 funders across the United States, the Foundation realized that funders struggle with decisions on how or whether to fund devices.
This latest workshop, which will be held virtually on Tuesday, Jan. 31, at 12:30 p.m. EST, will explore how to scale digital inclusion work domestically and internationally with corporate and nonprofit partners. Those interested in this workshop can register here. Along with Henley, other participants include:
While funders continue to invest in organizations that provide low to no-cost computers to those in need, the need for devices disproportionately outweighs resources available to people, organizations, and communities. This workshop will address this concern and explore how funders could be best served by investing in systemic solutions rather than transactional ones.
In today's society, devices, like computers, have become essential to education, healthcare, civic engagement, economic development, and more. To learn more about the importance of device access for all, please visit Digitunity.org or download Digitunity's report "The Importance of Large Screen Device Ownership" here.
About Digitunity Digitunity connects corporate and individual donors of technology to thousands of partner organizations serving people in need across North America. With a proven body of work and a national network of member organizations, Digitunity works to ensure all barriers limiting equitable opportunity to participate in our digitally connected society are removed.

Aristotle International announces that the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals granted an injunction allowing the PredictIt political prediction market to continue operating while the Court considers granting longer term relief.
The Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) had ordered the PredictIt market to close by Febr. 15, 2023. A group of PredictIt traders, academic users, and market service provider Aristotle International, Inc. challenged the CFTC in federal court arguing that the shutdown order violates the Administrative Procedure Act. The case reached the Fifth Circuit after a lower court failed to issue a preliminary ruling in time to prevent certain effects on the market.
The injunction pending appeal granted by the Fifth Circuit on Jan. 26 will allow the PredictIt market to continue to operate while the Fifth Circuit considers the PredictIt traders' appeal. The Fifth Circuit has scheduled oral argument on that appeal for Feb. 8 in New Orleans. Following the February 8 hearing the Court is likely to issue an opinion addressing what relief is proper beyond the pendency of the appeal. The injunction pending appeal will allow PredictIt to continue to operate while the Court completes its consideration.
"This ruling will assist a thorough judicial review of the CFTC's abrupt closure. We look forward to the opportunity to appear before the Court on February 8 and present our arguments that the CFTC's closure order violated the APA and needs to be reversed," said David Mason, Aristotle General Counsel and former Federal Election Commission (FEC) Chairman.
Aristotle is the contract service provider for the PredictIt Market, which has operated under No-Action Relief CFTC 14-130 since 2014.

The CERN spin-off, building the first global decentralized air quality monitoring network, has raised 3M€ at a challenging time for blockchain companies
SAINT-GENIS-POUILLY, France, January 26, 2023 (Newswire.com)
-
PlanetWatch raised a total of three million euros via a Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE) complemented by bank loans. The CERN spin-off will use the capital to solidify the business' foundations and prepare for a larger Series A round later this year.
With a strong roadmap for 2023 that includes smart contracts for air quality data sales and the transition to a Web3 business model, PlanetWatch will use the funds towards three main purposes: strengthening the technical infrastructure, growing the air quality monitoring network, and boosting business development initiatives.
"We are honored that key entities from the Algorand ecosystem, as well as major French banks, continue to support PlanetWatch development," said Claudio Parrinello, co-founder and CEO of PlanetWatch. "At a challenging time for blockchain companies, PlanetWatch is being endorsed as a real-world blockchain project with a compelling use case and capable of closing business deals both with companies and governmental entities."
The round, bridging between a Seed one and a future Series A, was led by Borderless Capital. Additional investors include Algorand Inc. and the Algorand Foundation. Two French banks are providing additional liquidity via loans.
"In the framework of our $10M PLANETS.Fund, which is one of the largest air quality sensor runners in the PlanetWatch network, we are excited to lead this new financing round and back the company vision of building the largest decentralized global air quality monitoring network and use blockchain as the core tech to make it happen. We strongly believe that PlanetWatch can really disrupt and transform the air and green data economy and markets at a global scale," said David Garcia, CEO and Managing Partner at Borderless Capital
"It is central to our mission to support solutions that use the Algorand blockchain to address environmental challenges," said Matt Keller, Head of Impact at the Algorand Foundation. "With its affordable air quality sensors, PlanetWatch empowers people to become agents of change in their own communities which in turn - among other things - gives policymakers real-time data to help combat air pollution on a localized level. In 2022, they became the largest project on Algorand in terms of daily number of transactions, proving that the real-world utility and potential for broad impact is there. We're excited to support the team in delivering on the roadmap ahead."
About PlanetWatch
PlanetWatch is a high-tech startup based in France that's leveraging the Algorand blockchain, advanced algorithms, and high-performance yet affordable air quality sensors, to deploy dense, low-cost air quality monitoring networks. The PlanetWatch network, which has over 20,000 sensors currently active worldwide, powers advanced data products both for governmental and private sector entities, while building the first global immutable air quality data ledger. An official CERN spin-off company, PlanetWatch is also a member of the Crypto Sustainability Coalition fostered by the World Economic Forum.

Creator of wearable sustained acoustic medicine technology to educate clinicians on device's effectiveness in soft tissue healing and regenerative medicine treatment.
LAS VEGAS, January 26, 2023 (Newswire.com)
-
ZetrOZ Systems will demonstrate the effectiveness of its sam®x1 and sam®2.0 sustained acoustic medicine devices for soft tissue injury therapies at the Las Vegas Regenerative Medicine and MSK Ultrasound Course, the longest-running medical education seminar of its kind, from Jan. 26 to 28 in Las Vegas.
The sam®x1 is the first FDA-cleared pain management device of its kind cleared for everyday, at-home use, and the sam®2.0 is the long-duration solution. Both are wearable pain relief ultrasound devices that inhibit inflammation and accelerate natural healing by stimulating tissue regeneration, increasing circulation, and nutrient exchange in deep musculoskeletal tissue.
The multiple-day educational course, at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, Las Vegas, welcomes hundreds of practitioners as varied as orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine physicians, PM&R physicians, pain management physicians, interventional radiologists, rheumatologists, physical therapists, naturopathic doctors, chiropractors, podiatrists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, diagnostic sonographers and more.
"The Las Vegas Regenerative Medicine and MSK Ultrasound Course brings in leading physicians and other practitioners who will speak on the administration of ultrasound technology and its many benefits - it offers patients options beyond pain medication or surgery," says Dr. George Lewis, founder and CEO of ZetrOZ Systems. "We're incredibly excited to attend and bring awareness of our innovative pain relief ultrasound device portfolio to more healthcare professionals."
The first day of the program will be dedicated to reviewing scientific updates, new regulations, and best practices of the orthopedic discipline. The last two days will focus on practical ultrasound operation, and ZetrOZ Systems sam®x1 and sam®2.0 will be joining the lineup of medical treatment options available for clinicians to review and apply.
Backed by more than 30 clinical studies, sam® technology was developed with research funded by the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of Defense with the intent of finding new methods of soft tissue healing that reduce the use of narcotics and invasive treatments.

Call for pediatric involvement in primary prevention to address sexual victimization of children. Over 90% of parents agree that pediatricians should be discussing sexual abuse prevention with the families they serve.
BOSTON, January 26, 2023 (Newswire.com)
-
In response to the critical need of the medical and pediatric community for sexual abuse prevention resources, The Mama Bear Effect charitable organization announced, after over a year of development, free Pediatric Kits are now available for pediatricians and medical centers serving children to help educate medical professionals, parents, and children.
"Child sexual abuse is an epidemic, with a conservative estimate of 10% of children at risk of abuse to potentially as many as 25% of girls and 16% of boys. Parents and caregivers want their pediatricians to educate them on sexual abuse prevention. We know this through the results of the recently published 2023 Parental and Caregiver Perspectives on Child Sexual Abuse Prevention study conducted with parents across the country. However, only 10% of pediatricians and family practitioners are estimated to be raising awareness about this epidemic with families, putting children at increased risk for abuse and a myriad of health consequences," said Adrianne Simeone, founder of The Mama Bear Effect.
Support from Pediatric Community
Each Pediatric Kit includes a Pediatric Best Practices Guide, co-written with Dr. Martin Finkel, Professor Emeritus of the CARES Center at the Rowan-Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine.
As the founding co-director of the Child Abuse Research Education Services Institute and dedicating 40 years of my career to the issues of child sexual abuse," Dr. Finkel maintains, "it is clear that pediatricians and medical professionals serve a critical role in educating families to help prevent sexual abuse. We cannot effectively improve children's outcomes without addressing the risk of sexual abuse."
National Support
Funding for the pediatric kits was supported in part by Indianapolis-based nonprofit kNot Today, founded by Linda and Frank Reich. "We are elated with the work of their Pediatric Best Practice Guide and look forward to sharing resources here in Indiana and beyond. Starting the conversations with parents and giving them resources are key to protecting children," shared Alyssa Van Vactor, Executive Director of kNot Today.
Pediatric Kit Availability
Pediatric Kits are available for order through The Mama Bear Effect site: www.TheMamaBearEffect.org/pediatrics. If a medical center wishes to receive a free kit, they are invited to schedule a short meeting to discuss the survey participation required for the donation.
Founded in 2012, The Mama Bear Effect is a nationally recognized leader in child sexual abuse prevention education, partnering with child and family agencies across the country. A wide range of resources are available at TheMamaBearEffect.org, as well as a best-selling children's body safety book, My Body is Special and Private, on Amazon, and other printed educational materials for purchase.
