What Refinancing Means for You

NEW YORK - October 18, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

iQuanti: You don't have to be stuck in a bad loan forever. When you refinance a car loan or other types of loans, you trade in your existing loan for one with better terms.

Refinancing: the basics

Refinancing is the process of applying for a new loan to secure a lower interest rate or extend your repayment schedule. When you're approved for the new loan, your lender will pay off your existing loan, and the old loan account will be closed.

When is refinancing a good idea?

Refinancing is beneficial in many situations. For example:

You can't afford your current payments: If you're struggling to keep up with your monthly loan payments, refinancing into a loan with a longer repayment term can help get you back on track. However, a longer term could lead to a higher overall cost due to interest.
Interest rates are lower: A good time to consider refinancing is when interest rates have fallen. If interest rates are lower than when you got your current loan, refinancing can get you into a better rate, saving you money over the life of your loan.
You have a better credit score: If you have a better credit score than when you applied for your current loan, refinancing might help you secure better terms. A higher credit score could translate to a lower interest rate and lower monthly payments.
You have a variable loan: The interest rate on a variable loan fluctuates during the life of your loan. Many people prefer the predictability of fixed loans since the interest rate remains unchanged for the entire duration of the loan.

Should you refinance?

If it gets you into a more affordable loan with a lower rate and better terms, refinancing can be wise if it helps you avoid missing payments, which can severely impact your credit score and financial stability. Though you might see a ding on your credit score after refinancing, it's preferable to a late payment that can remain on your credit for several years.

5 Budgeting Methods and How They Work

NEW YORK - October 18, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

iQuanti: Financial experts have been preaching about the benefits of maintaining a personal budget for decades. But how do you make one that you'll actually stick to? From the envelope system to a zero-based budget, there are lots of techniques that have been proven to be effective. Here are five great budgeting methods and how you can start using them today.

1. The traditional budget

A traditional budget is probably one of the oldest and simplest forms of budgeting a person can have. It's merely just a list of all your expenses subtracted from your income. The purpose is to help you set spending limits to ensure that your expenses are always less than your income.

The great thing about a traditional budget is that you make it with paper and a pencil if you wish. But for the more tech-savvy, there are hundreds of templates you can download for free and use with Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.

2. The 50/30/20 budget

How should your income be broken up exactly? One useful way to do this is by following the 50/30/20 budget. Using this budgeting method, a person would divide up their after-tax income as follows:

50 percent on needs
30 percent on wants
20 percent to savings

What's nice about this method is that it gives you a framework for saving your money as well as budgeting it.

3. The zero-based budget

In a traditional-style budget, what happens when you have money left over? Unfortunately, many people end up spending it on non-essential purchases.

That's where a zero-based budget takes things a step further. Under this method, a person who makes a traditional budget would assign any leftover funds to a specific purpose (such as saving more for retirement or paying off a debt). The goal is to have exactly $0 left over at the end of the month, meaning there was no money wasted.

4. The cash envelope system

The cash envelope system is where someone physically puts money into a series of envelopes that are earmarked for specific purposes (such as rent, utilities, and groceries). Many people swear by this system because it forces them to ration their purchases as the money in the envelopes starts getting lower towards the end of the month. But it does also require the extra effort of planning and filling the envelopes with cash.

5. The app-based budget

If making a budget and tracking it sounds like a lot of work, why not let a smartphone app do all the heavy lifting for you? There are now dozens of reputable companies that have created software that will sync to your bank and credit card accounts, track your purchases, and provide you with a real-time report of exactly how you're doing.

People who are already comfortable with technology have found these apps to be an incredibly easy way to maintain a budget. Just keep in mind this involves giving the budgeting platform your usernames and passwords to sync your information.

The bottom line

There's no doubt that budgeting has some major advantages. From stuffing money into envelopes to using smartphone apps, the key is to pick a method that's right for you and stick to it.

Olleyes, Inc Announces a Partnership With Tobii to Incorporate Advanced Eye Tracking Features Into Their VisuALL ETS Model

SUMMIT, N.J. - October 18, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Olleyes Inc., a medical software company focused on the development of the VisuALL Virtual Reality Platform (VRP) for assessment of visual functions, announced today a partnership with Tobii to incorporate advanced eye tracking features within the VisuALL ETS package.

Based in Stockholm, Sweden, Tobii is the global leader in eye tracking and pioneer in attention computing. The company pioneered the world's first remote eye tracker over 20 years ago and has remained at the forefront of the R&D and integration of innovative gaze-capturing technology to the present day. Tobii technology will further enhance the capabilities of the Olleyes VisuALL ETS to deliver a variety of ophthalmic tests with superior accuracy via its portable and patient-friendly interface.

"Tobii is proud to enable innovators like Olleyes in its ambition of significantly improving accuracy and efficiency of visual field assessment by automatically analyzing the retinal sensitivity in patients with Glaucoma and other visual disorders," said Johan Hellqvist, VP of XR at Tobii. "By incorporating Tobii's leading eye technology like Tobii Ocumen in Olleyes' VisuALL ETS package, we continue to push the boundaries of technology for good."

The VisuALL tests collect data by projecting stimuli on specific areas of the retina as a user interacts with the device's software. Users who are unable to focus on the necessary visual cues—or avert their gaze frequently—may disrupt the analysis and put themselves at risk of reducing the accuracy of the test results. These concerns have previously made gathering ocular information from some patients challenging.

By utilizing Tobii eye tracking, the VisuALL ETS stimulus remains consistent with the same region of the retina regardless of user error, vastly increasing the precision of the data and improving doctors' ability to confidently diagnose their patients through highly optimized means. This is possible thanks to Olleyes testing algorithms implemented in the VisuALL model ETS. Now this new eye tracking technology will allow for even more ocular tests to be integrated into the device, including perimetry scans and ocular motility testing.

"Olleyes is the leading group in the VR market for eyecare. Our VisuALL Virtual Reality Platform (VRP) provides automatic, objective, and standardized visual function tests. Our partnership with Tobii will allow us to increase the accuracy of our technology even more. Tobii Ocumen has helped us quickly develop and deploy our product offerings and is a step forward in automating the remote assessment of visual function," said Alberto Gonzalez, CEO of Olleyes.

About Olleyes

Olleyes is a privately held medical software company committed to developing efficient and productive diagnostic technology. Olleyes' products are designed for the office and home evaluation of patients with eye diseases like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration. Olleyes' strategy is predicated upon efficiency and accessibility to deliver accurate and repeatable visual tests. The management team is experienced in the development and commercialization of medical devices.

Formulated with a blend of shea butter, olive oil and bacuri seed butter, Shea Pomade is designed specifically for curly and coily textures and provides hydration, shine and styling benefits.

Baxter of California's Shea Pomade

LOS ANGELES - October 18, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Baxter of California, the heritage men's grooming brand with flagship barber shop in Los Angeles, launches the limited-edition Shea Pomade, a moisturizing and conditioning hair and scalp balm that provides light hold and a high-shine finish. Shea Pomade is a shea butter-infused hair product formulated for curly, coily, thick and coarse hair textures.

Launching just in time for the 2022 holiday season, Shea Pomade styles and moisturizes with a combination of natural ingredients that nourish the hair and scalp for brilliance and shine. The pomade provides light styling, and the moisture-rich balm provides frizz-free coil and curl definition while highlighting natural wave patterns.

"We are so excited for consumers to try Shea Pomade," says Jose Figueroa, Associate Brand Manager of Baxter of California. "We recognized that there was a gap in our pomade collection, specifically for curly and coily hair, so we're proud to introduce a product formulated specifically for textured hair."

"It's important to us as a brand to ensure we're addressing the hair care needs of all consumers," Figueroa added. "We tested products for curly and coily hair with industry professionals for over a year, including a test run at Cosmoprof, because it's important that our products are of good quality and are very effective. With Shea Pomade, our portfolio of hair styling and care products is extended by meeting the needs for textured hair consumers."

Shea Pomade is rich in natural ingredients, and its combination of butters not only help to style the hair but also promote the health of the hair and scalp. Key ingredients include:

Shea Butter: seals each hair strand, locking in moisture and leaving hair soft, smooth and shiny
Olive Oil: rich in antioxidants, this ingredient deeply penetrates hair strands and helps to promote scalp health
Bacuri Seed Butter: helps to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin which promote hair elasticity and how well strands resist breakage

The Baxter of California Shea Pomade is now available for purchase at baxterofcalifornia.com, the Baxter Finley Barber & Shop in Los Angeles and fine retailers around the world.

Radaro and NorthStar Digital Solutions Partner to Solve Industry-Wide Process Gaps in LTL & TL Transportation

Simple to use yet powerful to scale, FR8Focus was developed with the carrier, the customer and the driver in mind.

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario - October 18, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

FR8Focus is a new mobile application on the market that proves to be the next step in the visual, real-time digitization of freight and asset tracking for North American carriers. In collaboration with a leading private carrier over the last three years, the application is highly refined and addresses real-world pain points of transportation.

Allowing carriers to connect, mobilize, track and manage their fleets in real-time, FR8Focus was developed to integrate seamlessly into all facets of less-than-a-truckload (LTL) and truckload (TL) operations. NorthStar Digital Solutions COO, Dave Brajkovich, explains, "FR8Focus is about more than a single piece of technology. It's about flawlessly combining an assortment of technologies to solve industry-wide issues. Operations can see their entire fleet(s) on the road at a glance, communicate with drivers instantly and adjust schedules ad hoc." Mr. Brajkovich continues, "From a carrier's customer standpoint, we have eliminated a lot of frustration. When they see real-time route flows and receive instant notifications, there is no longer a need to ask where their shipment is."

The application provides agility and visibility while reducing the antiquated processes of paper-shuffling from hours to minutes, even seconds, by completely digitizing operational workflow. This significantly lessens carrier overhead, eliminating all manual labour previously required to handle documentation. PODs are scanned by the drivers and uploaded instantly to backend TMS systems to provide next-minute customer invoicing. Customs documentation is uploaded immediately to expedite shipment release and border crossing. This is backed by industry-leading document capture resolution mitigating error and ensuring no carriers are leaving money on the table.

Radaro's Joe Thull, Head of North America, comments, "Working with a large LTL provider over these past two years allowed us to co-create a solution that has solved many of the current LTL marketplace challenges while being simple to use, yet powerful to scale." Mr. Thull adds, "Our solution was developed with the carrier, the customer and the driver in mind, resulting in truly intuitive systems where workflows anticipate each step. FR8Focus complements existing tech stacks to allow for efficient integration and avoid the headache of replacing systems essential to running their business."

Mr. Brajkovich exclaims, "Customers, partners and transportation leaders are showing significant interest and excitement. Not just for the impact FR8Focus can have on their bottom line, but for how quickly we can integrate. Our ROIs are well-established and the infrastructure is in place. We can integrate into a small fleet or trial portion of a larger fleet within a couple of days." He concludes, "Waiting for information is a non-starter for this day and age. With FR8Focus, we're connecting the road to the back office!"

FR8Focus is alleviating operational pain points in the LTL and TL marketspace and delivering solutions with speed, accuracy and simplicity. Its use-case provides a detailed look into the real insights gained by one of Canada's largest privately owned LTL carriers.

Those interested in scheduling a demonstration or learning more about the application are encouraged to contact Radaro or NorthStar Digital Solutions.

Let’s Talk Interactive Brings in Chief Financial Officer Alexander Monroe

The addition of Monroe as CFO will support corporate structuring efforts and position the company for the next phase of rapid growth

CFO Alex Monroe

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - October 18, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Let's Talk Interactive, Inc. (LTI), an innovator in telehealth solutions, has announced the addition of Alexander Monroe as its Chief Financial Officer. As a seasoned executive with proven leadership experience in finance, corporate strategy and corporate development, Monroe will be a key asset for LTI as it prepares for its next stage of accelerated growth.

"As we continue to lead in the field of virtual healthcare, it's essential that we position ourselves well for any market conditions," said Arthur Cooksey, founder, Chairman, and CEO of Let's Talk Interactive. "Alexander brings a wealth of experience that will be a significant asset as LTI continues on its trajectory of rapid infrastructure and development growth through capital raise to support continued innovation and expansion into manufacturing."

Monroe began his career in investment banking doing middle-market mergers and acquisitions. After leaving investment banking, he transitioned to the corporate sector, during which he led the corporate development groups of two Fortune 500 companies, overseeing strategic development and business development functions.

Seeing a significant need in the marketplace, he left the corporate sector and founded and built a global consumer products company, which he later sold. The sale would be the springboard that allowed Monroe to pursue his passion for working closely with small and midsize businesses, helping them to achieve big company sophistication and expertise while maintaining the culture and nimbleness of a small company. This is when he began working as the CFO of a global government security contractor. As its CFO, he led the recapitalization and restructuring of the company to position it for sustainable and profitable growth. He was eventually promoted to the company's President and CEO, during which he orchestrated the most profitable 12-month period in the company's history, positioning the company for sale and ultimately successfully selling the company to a strategic buyer.

"I believe LTI's telehealth solutions meet a critical need within the marketplace. Coming from a family full of physicians, I understand the massive inefficiencies LTI's solutions address and solve within healthcare," said Monroe. "I'm excited to be working alongside the most talented, experienced team in virtual care and look forward to helping the LTI reach new levels of success."

Monroe holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in International Finance from the Thunderbird School of Global Management. To learn more about Let's Talk Interactive, Inc., visit https://letstalkinteractive.com/.

GIMME Beauty, the innovative hair solutions company disrupting the beauty industry, announces a partnership with the Susan G. Komen Foundation to support breast cancer research.

Race participants will receive a pack of pink GIMME hair ties designed exclusively for the event.

GIMME has also released its Pink Collection in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month and is donating a portion of the proceeds from the collection to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

"We're proud to be a pillar sponsor of this year's Race for the Cure and to be able to support such a worthy cause," said Jeff Durham, President and CEO of GIMME Beauty. "We put together our Pink Collection in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month and will donate a portion of the proceeds directly to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, allowing our community to get involved and show their support while treating themselves."

The Race for the Cure is Komen's signature fundraising event, and using the Komen 360° Approach contributes to:

Campaign for Safe Cosmetics Publishes First-Ever List of Top Non-Toxic Black-Owned Beauty Brands & Product Database

The First-Ever List of Top Non-Toxic Black-Owned Beauty Brands & Database Products Verified by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics

SAN FRANCISCO - October 18, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics (CSC)'s new List of Top Non-Toxic Black-Owned Beauty Brands features entrepreneurs making safer beauty products for Black women, free of the toxic ingredients linked to breast cancer and health concerns that disproportionately impact Black women. This project brings health equity to the forefront by providing a database of clean beauty products to help Black women and girls live their healthiest lives and prevent breast cancer. CSC's Top Non-Toxic Black Beauty Brands 2022 > CSC's Non-Toxic Black Beauty Product Database >

Released during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Non-Toxic Black Beauty Project focuses specifically on supporting Black women's health because Black women face the highest breast cancer mortality rate of any racial or ethnic group in America. Beauty products marketed to Black women often contain the most toxic cosmetics ingredients, including chemicals linked to cancer. In fact, Black women who regularly dye their hair have a 60% increased risk of breast cancer, and those who use chemical hair straighteners are 30% more likely to develop the disease. By uplifting leading non-toxic Black-owned beauty brands and connecting Black women with products they can trust, CSC aims to combat toxic health disparities to help prevent breast cancer and other diseases.

The 80 small and medium-sized businesses who made the list raise the bar for ingredient safety and lead the movement to address the injustice of Black beauty by selling products free of CSC's 241 "Do Not Use" Red List Chemicals of Concern in Cosmetics. CSC vetted all 700+ products included in the first-ever searchable database for safety and verified them to be free of harmful chemicals linked to health concerns like cancer, diabetes, early puberty, endometriosis, infertility, maternal health, pregnancy complications, and uterine fibroids.

"We are thrilled to announce the launch of our searchable database of non-toxic Black beauty products," said Janet Nudelman, Director of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, a program of Breast Cancer Prevention Partners. "These leading Black entrepreneurs are making safer beauty products that won't harm the health of Black women and girls. We hope that more companies will follow their lead and grow the clean Black beauty industry by selling non-toxic beauty and personal care products that Black women can trust."

As Black women purchase and use more beauty products per capita than any other demographic, spending more than $7.5 billion dollars on beauty products a year and nine times more on hair products than the average consumer, toxic exposure from beauty products is of particular concern.

By eliminating toxic ingredients that negatively impact Black women, these companies have made a significant commitment to protecting their customers' health and well-being. They are also helping to reduce the disproportionate toxic burden that Black women face from unsafe chemicals in beauty and other consumer products they use, which can help prevent the development of chronic diseases like breast and ovarian cancer.

The Non-Toxic Black Beauty Project is guided by an Advisory Committee made up of leading non-profit organizations and scientists working to improve Black women's health. This project represents the first comprehensive effort to generate a list of chemicals of concern in Black beauty products that should be avoided by consumers, cosmetic manufacturers, and retailers.
