    • Eric Lefkofsky and Tempus Labs – In the Forefront of Revolutionizing Cancer Care

    Eric Lefkofsky is an entrepreneur, and one of his successful ventures is Tempus Labs. Tempus Labs has developed a molecular and clinical library of digitized genomic and patient information designed to provide physicians with a searchable database of DNA and clinical data so they can individualize care for cancer patients. The data is available to physicians in real time so they can make data-driven decisions to benefit each patient.

    Tempus Labs is a privately held company with more than 11,000 employees in 48 countries. The company is still growing thanks to an infusion of cash from investors. According to a recent Chicago Tribune article, Tempus Labs recently received more than $80 million in additional funding. New investors like Kinship Trust Co. and T. Rowe Price Associates have joined long-time supporters like New Enterprise Associates and Revolution Growth. This infusion of cash not only increased total investments in Tempus Labs to more than $210 million but it simultaneously boosted the valuation of Tempus Labs to more than $1 billion.

    Startups with a valuation of more than $1 billion are rare, so rare in fact, it led Aileen Lee a venture capitalist, to dub such startups as “a unicorn.” More than 50 percent of startups fail within the first four years, so the success of Eric Lefkofsky and Tempus Labs make them unique. As a biotech firm, Tempus Labs has successfully merged healthcare and technology. In an article written by Lefkofsky, he stated, “Healthcare, as an industry, is ripe for technological disruption. The potential for positive impact, particularly in the area of cancer care is both enormous and imminent.”

    Tempus Labs and Eric Lefkofsky are in the forefront of healthcare research by leading a group of scientists, researchers, and physicians to develop cutting-edge tools to individualize health care. The mission of Tempus Labs is “to enhance the quality of human lives.” The continued success of Eric Lefkofsky and Tempus Labs indicate they are living up to their mission. Through genomic sequencing and mapping, Tempus Labs is in the forefront of revolutionizing cancer care.

    The Chainsmokers band is an American production duo made of Alex Pall as well as Andrew Taggart. Since 2014, the duo has achieved a tremendous breakthrough with their song Selfie landing the top twenty lists of singles in not only America but other countries as well. Their debut called EP Bouquet was first released in mid-2015. Well, a year later (2016), the Chainsmokers went ahead to release their new track called Closer. The track features Halsey, a famous star.

    Background Data

    Unlike their past singles like Roses, then Don’t Let Me Down, this new track features Andrew Taggart who is branded as a talented participant. Of course, when an artist takes to the stage alone, everything seems reasonable. But the input of an additional artist would be more vibrant. That explains why the two songwriters often involve vocalists and DJ contemporaries for the sole purpose of adding the human element to their already existing talents.

    The Band

    Besides, the band’s foray is often appended to personalizing their music through dance as this intertwines with their ambition to earn international recognition from other famous artists. That is why in a music interview, Alex Pall was asked how they manage to incorporate the human element into their music successfully.

    Loving Music

    For Alex Pall, music became part of his life at a relatively tender age when he was a DJ. While growing up, he developed some skills as that was his primary hobby. Often working on various gigs in New York City, he had a career going on. However, most of it was solely based on his side struggles as he was passionate about music.

    Additional Information

    Like any other child growing up, Alex Pall was afraid of the unknown future. Given the challenges he faced at that age, he had to try out different gigs including working at an art gallery. Coincidentally, he worked with his current manager. That manager introduced him to Drew, and until now, they make a perfect team.

    The Overview

    For Alex Pall, quitting his job was not a big deal as a result has been a plethora of success. The same applies to his partner, Andrew. Well, for those who aspire to venture into music, the duo has set an admirable pace.

    • Kerv Wearables has create a great new ring for PSI Pay

    Kerv Wearables has create a great new ring for PSI Pay. The two companies have joined forces to bring the world a new option for contactless payments. Their solution is fast and easy, it is a small ring that wearers can use to make payments. In the previous 20 years of PSI Pay’s business history, they have not had anything this great. Their contactless payment solutions were convenient and revolutionary, and they offered customers an easy way to make payments, but this has changed the entire financial world. No other company has created a ring that customers can wear and use to make payments. The ring is comfortable and stylish.

    pic9

    PSI Pay invented the ring with the goal of offering their customers something new and different. The ring is made of a material that can outlast steel, and the inside is made of a material that is comfortable and will not irritate skin. The ring is sturdy enough to stand up to extreme weather, and it will not break if a customer wears it on a daily basis. The ring was released for consumers in the summer of 2017. It retails in two colors. With the PSI Pay ring, there is no need to connect to your debit or credit card or your smart phone. The ring acts as its own entity.

     

    PSI Pay has been certified by the safety board at MasterCard. They made sure the rings were dependable and secure. The rings are encrypted, so no one can steal the streams of electronic data as you are making a purchase. The power comes from the electromagnetic streams being emitted from the merchant’s POS station. Therefor, there is never a need to charge the ring or replace a battery. The tough and practical rings are quickly becoming a favorite with customers who enjoy traveling.

     

    The wallet system used by the PSI Pay ring is the European system. It is the opposite of the American wallet. The European wallet lets the customer purchase funds for the ring in the form of E cash. When the customer wants to make a purchase, the funds come from the wallet. The customer can also send funds from the wallet to their other financial institutions in an instant. The American wallet contains a single method of payment that communicates with a single merchant. The European wallet that PSI Pay uses have proven to be very useful.

    • Sean Penn’s Bob Honey Makes Some Strong Commentaries On Modern Society:

    Sean Penn’s new novel Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff was the topic of a recent Vogue article. The novel has gained plenty of praise as well as comparisons to the writings of such literary giants as Mark Twain, Hunter S. Thompson and Charles Bukowski. Sean has been on a major tour promoting the novel, but when Vogue caught up with him, he was relaxing at home while on the Los Angeles leg of his tour. Sean immediately explains that this book represents a different kind of satisfaction for him versus the feeling of releasing a film. Though that experience is also rewarding, it is rewarding in a team type of manner. Releasing a novel, like Bob Honey who just do stuff, is something Sean views as an individual accomplishment.

    When he is asked why not just write a screenplay, Sean states that he really wanted to tell this story and he feels that he needed to do something on his own. He wants to emphasize that he is not done and has another book well in the works. He won’t completely divorce himself from the idea of returning in some form to the world of film, but right now has no plans to act. He does give up a small bit of information in terms of there being a film possibility that he would like to direct. Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff has both an eccentric title and plot for readers to delve into.

    Find the full interview here:

    https://www.vogue.com/article/sean-penn-bob-honey-who-just-do-stuff-interview

    pic3

    Bob Honey was written by dictation because it is a style Sean is used to from his screenplay career. In the end, he likes dictation because his brain often moves faster than his fingers. He hopes that people catch on to the undercurrents present in the novel. He believes that the book does have a suggestion of working towards a world with social equality. There is also a purposeful satirization of modern consumer culture and branding that is present in the book. This is one way in which Sean draws on the currents of the modern world and channels them into this novel.

    • OSI Group Making Headlines Acquiring Big Companies

    Who is OSI Group?

    OSI is a globally recognized food provider. It is a successful business that has been helping brands reach the consumer all over the world. The company was founded by a man named Otto Kolschowsky in 1909. Called Otto & Sons at the time in Chicago, it was only a small butcher shop back then. The company continued to grow in time reaching Europe in 1978 and South America a mere two years later. Over the next three decades, the company continued to reach more and more consumers. They stretched into Taiwan, Austria, China, Mexico, Philippines, Hungary, Poland, Australia and more. Just recently OSI Group has picked up three more facilities. This is just a few things to add to the long list of accomplishments.

    Baho Food

    Baho Food is a large company that worked out of the Netherlands and Germany. They have been in business for over 60 years total before being bought out. They have five different secondary companies they control. These include Q Smart Life, Henri van de Bilt, Bital Convenience, Gelderland Frischwaren and Bakx Foods. They are large in a total of 18 countries found in Europe. One good thing to come out of all this is that OSI intends on keeping the staff.

    Tyson Food Plant

    In 2016 The OSI Group decided to buy the old Tyson Plant out of Chicago, Illinois. The sale was looked at as life-saving to many people in the city of Chicago. Tyson had already made it clear that they would be closing the plant down. The plant held jobs to almost 500 people in Chicago. It had over 200,000 square feet of space and had been operating for many years in the city. Many would be losing their jobs with the shutdown. With this purchase, those that are still employed at the plant could very well keep their jobs. Also, it could offer even more jobs for those that had left or others in need.

    Flagship Europe

    With the purchase of Flagship Europe, OSI Group has made a bigger presence in Europe. OSI Group needed it for their expansion. Flagship Europe was a frozen food supplier based out of the UK. It was in business for over 60 years and supplied to 16 different countries with a total of over 60 facilities. They provide different products including pies, frozen poultry and more.

    The OSI Group has been in business for a very long time but just recently it has begun to expand even more. It is always on the lookout for more opportunities. As seen with the recent occurrences, it could help the facilities it obtains. They help to gain employment and other opportunities for the towns they are expanding to.

    • Nothing Borrowed, Nothing Blue, Nothing Old But Something 250 Units New

    Atlantic City known for its great views, hot summers and blazing casino scene is about to get even hotter next summer. That’s right, what’s heating things up for next summer may take you by surprise. Real estate is what is sizzling up things for next summer, specifically according to the Press Of Atlantic City, a 250 new apartment development is getting ready to open next summer. This new apartment development will be the city’s first major market rate project development in the last 25 years. For Atlantic City to have such a large development project is a major win for them. The project will super charge the city in many ways by first providing for the 50,000 people working in the resort town. Second, the real estate project is seen as a beacon of optimism by signifying the city’s potential to grow despite various circumstances that have occurred over the past few years. Boraie Development LLC is the power force behind this 250 new apartment development and according to The Press Of Atlantic City and it will be known as The Beach At South Inlet. The nice little hearty price tag of this lovely, little project is $81 million dollars.

    A prime reason the apartment project is viewed with importance, along with the Atlantic City Gateway project is because they show that stability is taking place and will serve as a magnet for other potential investment projects in the future. In addition, it serves notice to the neighboring cities that Atlantic City is getting stronger and they’re competing harder for business.

    It seems that one of the real power forces behind these events is Boraie, Vice President Wasseem Boraie. Sam Boraie had mentioned to The Press Of Atlantic City “new generation of renters knows what they want,” and it would seem that he and his organization is there to fulfill that need which is modern house interiors. A recent report had released information stating that about 61 percent of Atlantic City’s housing stock is more than 40 years old. So for Boraie it is a great move for them to build this apartment complex, because they are providing a prime product to a desperate need, injecting life into the economy and setting themselves as the “go to” person who provides modern interiors. Check out re-nj.com to see more.

    Boraie had never been a stranger to going against grain, so to speak. To go in the opposite direction has always been the norm with a Boraie. When you’re the type of person whom is always ahead of your time and do your business affairs in the same way, being asked “are you crazy” might be a question you’re asked often. However, one note that must be mentioned is that the “crazy question” is always the one to be the crazy question itself because the results of the methods and practices always come out so well. It is nice to see that a person with the ability to think ahead to make impossible things possible and have the fortitude to ignore the self-doubt that every human has met from time to time.
