Ex TV Producer Bites Back At Bullies With Debut Novel
Miriam Sawan is a former television producer who is biting back at bullies. Her debut novel "Louboutins, Lattes & Live TV,” published by Aurora House, takes readers to the dark side of television, where the impressionable young are toyed and tampered with for Klarissa-Maree Francis’ gain. There has never been a more timely moment to release a novel on workplace bullying.
SYDNEY (PRWEB) December 06, 2017
“This novel, although fictional, shares a story on workplace bullying that unfortunately too many people, in EVERY industry, can relate to. I intend to use this as a voice for the bullied and the broken” said Miriam.
“As a journalist, I always wanted my stories to mean something so when I moved to a law firm and began working as a Media Advisor, I was suddenly exposed to all of these horrific accounts of workplace bullying.
While I couldn’t tell client stories, this was a way to tell a tale to change the tide and to hopefully empower young people in the workplace to stand up for themselves in any degrading situation.”
Louboutins, Lattes and Live TV is fictional but the message is a fact of many people’s lives.
“When I started writing this novel, I looked for support groups that existed for young people in the workplace and I’m sad to say, that there are very few networks available to help workers navigate tricky workplace situations. This book is a step in that direction.”
“I hope it’s something that mothers give to their daughters to read before they enter the workforce. I hope young workers read it and see it as a tool for empowerment and I hope, that the bullies who do read this learn to reflect and change old behaviours to stop themselves from the inevitable hurt that they cause.”
Miriam is available for interviews.
Louboutins, Lattes and Live TV is available as an Ebook on Kindle and Apple Books
Tha paperback version is on sale now for $22.95 at the bookdepository.com, amazon.com & barnesandnoble.com
Copies of the book available on request.
READER REVIEW - 5 Stars on Goodreads and Amazon
"This is the perfect novel for fans of the like of The Devil Wears Prada, or for anyone who has had an absolute nightmare of a co-worker, who would throw you under bus at the blink of an eye. Many of us have been in a similar situation that protagonist, Anna-Simone finds herself in – battling a workplace foe, that seems to want to destroy her for no reason at all. It is shocking the lengths that Klarissa will go to, to undermine and humiliate her co-workers, just to get ahead. Her willingness to betray and bully, makes for a compelling read...it certainly kept me turning page after page, hoping the next one will bring her comeuppance. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but you wont be disappointed by the ending, so fight through your frustrations. Louboutins, Lattes & Live TV by Miriam Sawan is a really fun read, that had be laughing out loud, wanting to tear my hair out, and definitely will make me think twice before sending that brusque email."

Fairbanks Visitors Guide Features Aurora Borealis, Midnight Sun and Denali National Park
The Fairbanks 2018 Official Visitors Guide that showcases Fairbanks' year-round opportunities is now available for free. The aurora borealis, the midnight sun and Denali National Park, are among popular regional attractions featured in the guide.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska (PRWEB) December 06, 2017
The Explore Fairbanks 2018 Official Visitors Guide, a 78-page, full-color booklet that describes Fairbanks’ year-round opportunities, is now available for free. The annual publication is designed to capture the features and attractions specific to life in the region. Fairbanks is defined by the midnight sun, the aurora borealis, the centrally located Chena and Yukon rivers and many miles of wilderness.
Fairbanks delineates the Aurora Season as August 21 through April 21, when visitors have the opportunity of seeing the aurora borealis. Fairbanks’ location is ideal for northern lights viewing because it is under the “Auroral Oval,” a ring-shaped zone where aurora activity is concentrated. Additionally, Fairbanks’ low precipitation and distance from coastal areas contributes to consistently clear nights. All combined, these variables make the Fairbanks region an outstanding destination for aurora viewing. Conversely, the Midnight Sun Season runs from April 22 through August 20. The midnight sun shines brightly for the whole summer with the most sunlight occurring between May 17 and July 27, when Fairbanks experiences 70 straight days of light.
Known as the "Golden Heart of Alaska," Fairbanks is located in the center of Alaska and serves as the basecamp for Alaska’s vast Interior and Arctic. Places situated nearby are Denali National Park and Preserve, the Arctic Circle, Chena Hot Springs, North Pole and a myriad of villages, refuges and parks. The Arctic is featured prominently as Fairbanks is the hub for travel, research, supplies and transportation to the area. The guide highlights year-round activities available in the frontier community that include fishing, wildlife viewing, birdwatching, hiking, visiting museums and floating the Chena River. Additional activities take place during the winter months, such as dog mushing, ice sculpting, snowmobiling and skiing. The guide also features exhibitions, attractions and performances focused on Alaska Native heritage, contemporary arts and gold rush history.
The calendar section details significant events including the World Eskimo-Indian Olympics, the Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race and the Midnight Sun Festival. The guide also lists a wide variety of seasonal and year-round accommodations, services, restaurants, shopping and attractions.

Blue Pillar Recognized by JMP Securities “Efficient Fifty” as a Leading Private Company in Industrial and Energy Technology
Blue Pillar’s Aurora™ Energy Network of Things™ platform and Energy Network-as-a-Service offering help energy providers drive a new era of efficiency and revenue-generating services
FREDERICK, Md. (PRWEB) December 07, 2017
Based on its recent analysis of the industrial and energy technology industries, JMP Securities, a San Francisco-based investment bank, recognizes Blue Pillar in its inaugural Efficient Fifty Private Companies listing as a distributed resource management technology that helps energy providers and Commercial and Industrial (C&I) companies overcome reliability and resiliency challenges. Blue Pillar is also the first in market to offer Energy Network-as-a-Service (ENaaS), a turnkey energy networking solution. Blue Pillar was selected, in part, on its merits as a company that supports greater energy efficiency and operational flexibility, while also enabling improved relationships between energy service providers and their customers.
Blue Pillar is an Energy Internet of Things (IoT) platform company with the goal to seamlessly connect distributed energy resources (DERs) — new or old and all makes and models — to help commercial facilities, utilities, and energy service providers avoid power outages, balance the grid, alleviate grid stress, offer revenue generating energy services, and drive higher levels of efficiency and data interoperability. Its ENaaS offering is a seamless, end-to-end service built on Blue Pillar’s award-winning Aurora platform that allows energy service providers (ESPs), utilities and application providers to gain access behind-the-meter data and control without the need for costly system integration or internal operations deployment management. Blue Pillar’s ENaaS offering eliminates operational deployment and maintenance concerns and delivers all hardware, installation and configuration, and the full lifecycle management required to keep the network alive. Behind-the-meter data and control is accessible through an open Application Program Interface (API) that dramatically reduces development time and costs.
“What set Blue Pillar apart from many of the other companies we analyzed was Aurora’s ability to simplify the chaos behind the meter,” said Joseph Osha, Managing Director and Senior Research Analyst at JMP Securities. “The Aurora platform is revolutionizing the way companies think about achieving greater energy efficiency and resiliency in a way that sets it apart from the competition and puts it definitively on our Efficient Fifty Private Company list.”
“We are honored to receive this recognition from JMP as we continue to provide companies of all types with ubiquitous access to behind-the-meter energy data and secure automated control over their energy assets and systems,” notes Tom Willie, CEO of Blue Pillar. “Our C&I customers are proving they can operate their facilities more sustainably, efficiently, safely, and with greater resiliency to unexpected events. Our energy provider customers are embracing Aurora to expand the grid edge, allowing them to collaborate more deeply with some of their most important C&I customers, which is providing a win/win situation for all parties involved.”
With the inaugural version of the Efficient Fifty Private Company Handbook, JMP evaluated more than 250 companies in industrial and energy technology in the pursuit of singling out companies that fit into the following four categories: Intelligent Infrastructure; Intelligent Industry; Smart Assets; Energy Storage. Also included are companies that fall into the cross section of where these four categories meet. The 50 companies selected have one thing in common: they are all about being smarter and more efficient. They run the gamut in size, with 17 of the 50 being at the $10 million in revenue range while eight of the companies show revenues of $50 million or greater. They have raised a total of $2.65 billion in equity financing since 2010, with projections showing 2017 likely to exceed 2016’s record of $588 million raised among the companies.
Along with Blue Pillar, featured companies in the Efficient Fifty list include Enbala Energy Networks, Spirae, AutoGrid, STEM, Advanced Microgrid Solutions, Sentient Energy, Aclara, and others.

DK Eyewitness Travel Announces Where to Go in 2018
Travel Experts Share Definitive List of Top Destinations to Explore in the New Year
NEW YORK (PRWEB) December 07, 2017
DK Eyewitness Travel today announced the regions and countries that made their list of Where to Go in 2018. From the world’s happiest country to the home of Europe’s largest Viking Festival, this year’s Where to Go list showcases the best places to explore in the new year, so you may want to start making plans now.
"Picking our top destinations for 2018 provoked some fierce debate among the DK Travel team but we agreed on one thing: traveling in 2018 is all about the experience,” said Hollie Teague, managing editor, DK Travel. “Getting back to nature is a must, as is raising a glass to Malta, home to 2018's European Capital of Culture, and South Africa, as it celebrates the centenary of Nelson Mandela's birth.”
Where to Go in 2018
Malta
Boasting hidden coves, golden beaches and abundant marine life, plus 300 days of sunshine a year, Malta is also home to 7,000 years of history and culture, and its islands are peppered with a variety of treasures, from prehistoric temples to traditional British post boxes.
Norway
Crowned the World’s Happiest Country in 2017, Norway is home to some of the world’s most dramatic scenery. With majestic fjords and snow-capped mountains there’s plenty to explore, and you can also spy the aurora borealis.
South Africa
2018 marks the centenary of Nelson Mandela’s birth so expect the country to celebrate with boundless energy and passion. Add to this mix the country’s vibrant cities and lush vineyards, its rugged coastline and incredible wildlife, and you have one of 2018’s most enticing destinations.
Pacific Northwest
Much of the Pacific Northwest is blanketed by national parks, including forested Olympic, volcanic Crater Lake and glacier-capped Mount Rainier. The Pacific Crest Trail turns 50 in 2018, making it a must to hike at least a section of the 2,650-mile trail that cuts through the Pacific Northwest.
Japan
Japan is home to a feast of festivals. In Numata see long-nosed goblins parade through the streets; in Morioka dance to the beat of taiko drums; or admire lantern-bedecked Kasuga Taisha Shrine in Nara. There’s even a belly button-themed dance festival in Hokkaido.
Chile
Not only does Chile mark 200 years of independence in 2018, with celebrations set to take place up and down the country, it’s also well on its way to gaining several new national parks – there’s plenty to explore.
United Kingdom
There’s so much more to the UK than its cultural capital. Why not try Europe’s largest Viking Festival in York or experience Liverpool’s vibrant arts and music scene. A diminished pound means a trip here won't break the bank.
Singapore
This tiny island-nation is actually one of the world’s greenest urban environments. With eco-friendly travel becoming an ever-growing necessity and plenty to explore in “the city in a garden” traveling to Singapore in 2018 is definitely worth thinking about.
Northern France
In 2018, Northern France will honor the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I with a packed calendar of events. Beyond battlefields, the region is home to some fascinating cities, countless UNESCO World Heritage sights (including the magnificent Mont-St-Michel) and miles of rugged coastline.
India
No traveler’s bucket list is complete without a visit to chaotic and colorful India. Relax on Goa’s white-sand beaches, stand awestruck before the Taj Mahal and negotiate Delhi’s hectic streets – make 2018 the year you explore this fascinating country.

Retail Clinics in the US - The Game-Changer in Healthcare in 2017
Dublin, Dec. 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Retail Clinics 2017: The Game-Changer in Healthcare" report has been added to *Research and Markets'* offering.Few things in healthcare can be as potentially disruptive as retail clinics, and for that reason so much attention is focused on them. By their very existence, they could threaten and/or complement at least five parts of the healthcare system - hospitals, doctor's offices, government and private insurance payors, pharmaceutical and device markers (particularly makers of POC test devices). They are brought up in discussions of healthcare reform and repeal, in cost-cutting for governments or better preventive care. They are seen as the answer in some quarters and controversial in others. And they have grown, from a few hundred store locations a decade ago, to thousands. If projections are correct, they will continue to grow and change the way healthcare is delivered.*There are several ways this will happen, all of which are a focus of this report, Retail Clinics 2017:*
· They upend the normal healthcare delivery environment by providing healthcare services where the consumers are, in retail environments, as opposed to the normal status of relying on patients to go to the healthcare provider.
· They are a lower cost solution than the emergency room and can be used both to compete for insurance company business with high-cost ERs and also be used by healthcare organizations to reduce the traffic at the ER.
· They could help or hurt physician practice. On one hand, they offer better hours on average and do provide treatment for routine services like colds and flus. On the other hand, they they do refer patients - even to the point of suggesting the patient obtain a primary care doctor - and don't provide all services.
· They are already a source of focus in the in vitro diagnostics industry, as major IVDs develop testing units for both retail and urgent care clinics.
· They are building consumer awareness and reputation in each additional year of their existence, which is now more than 15 years, with favorable waiting times and hours. As our report indicates, high satisfaction ratings are routinely earned.
· They are in the forefront of electronic medical records and technology in healthcare, introducing EMR, billing innovation and virtual waiting room technology that physician offices are only slowly adapting to.
*More and More Clinic Locations*
Drug store retail clinic locations have boomed in recent years. Many service providers have established retail clinics. Although many of these clinics may not achieve their expansion objectives, the significant opportunities currently offered by the expanding convenience clinic market suggest that the number of players will only grow and some of these will be successful, according to the report. Furthermore, a similar proliferation of treatment facilities spurred by strong customer demand has occurred in other segments of the health care marketplace, notably the aesthetics market.
*A Growing Retail Clinics Market*
In 2016, total U.S. retail clinic sales are estimated at more than $1.4 billion, an increase of 20.3% per year from $518 million in 2010. Through 2020, sales are expected to continue expanding. Strong historic growth has been driven by aggressive expansion, particularly by MinuteClinic, which is now owned by CVS. Other brands are expected to follow, according to this report.
Retail clinics by nature are designed to occupy small spaces and provide just basic care. Therefore, they do not use most of the sophisticated medical equipment found in hospitals or specialty centers such as advanced imaging devices. However, retail clinics are becoming relatively large users of point-of-care (POC) tests, clinical chemistry and immunoassay laboratory tests and vaccines. In 2015, combined sales of these three types of products to retail clinics reached $240 million, with vaccines accounting for a greater share than POC tests or laboratory tests. This reflects total annual growth of over 26% per year since 2010, when retail clinics accounted for about $75 million in purchases of these products. All three of these products will exhibit solid growth, with total sales of POC tests, clinical chemistry and immunoassay laboratory tests and vaccines to retail clinics accounting for over $618 million in 2020.
In this regard, patient flow and throughput are extremely important, since the differentiating factor of convenience clinics that has allowed them to compete so successfully against medical practices has been their accessibility. Low or no waiting times have been a key aspect of this. If the clinics become so popular that waiting times approach those of doctors' offices, their competitive advantage will be significantly reduced and many consumers could migrate back to their doctor's office for routine care. This scheduling problem is ultimately one of balancing supply and demand, and is made more challenging by the fact that many of the variables affecting these factors cannot be quickly adjusted. For example, the supply of services varies with the number of clinics in a particular area, their size and staffing levels; contingencies (additional clinics, temporary ramp up in staffing, etc.) cannot be easily established to handle temporary overflows.
On the demand side, advertising and promotion can be increased to address lagging consumer interest but if that interest proves too high for the supply of services, adjusting demand downward without creating ill will among future potential customers could be more challenging. Managing growth and ensuring appropriate availability of services will therefore be key, particularly for convenience clinic chains with ambitious expansion plans.*Key Topics Covered:**1: Executive Summary*

· They upend the normal healthcare delivery environment by providing healthcare services where the consumers are, in retail environments, as opposed to the normal status of relying on patients to go to the healthcare provider.
· They are a lower cost solution than the emergency room and can be used both to compete for insurance company business with high-cost ERs and also be used by healthcare organizations to reduce the traffic at the ER.
· They could help or hurt physician practice. On one hand, they offer better hours on average and do provide treatment for routine services like colds and flus. On the other hand, they they do refer patients - even to the point of suggesting the patient obtain a primary care doctor - and don't provide all services.
· They are already a source of focus in the in vitro diagnostics industry, as major IVDs develop testing units for both retail and urgent care clinics.
· They are building consumer awareness and reputation in each additional year of their existence, which is now more than 15 years, with favorable waiting times and hours. As our report indicates, high satisfaction ratings are routinely earned.

*More and More Clinic Locations*
Drug store retail clinic locations have boomed in recent years. Many service providers have established retail clinics. Although many of these clinics may not achieve their expansion objectives, the significant opportunities currently offered by the expanding convenience clinic market suggest that the number of players will only grow and some of these will be successful, according to the report. Furthermore, a similar proliferation of treatment facilities spurred by strong customer demand has occurred in other segments of the health care marketplace, notably the aesthetics market.
