Featuring speakers from the NYC Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs and the New York State Office of Language Access, presenters will address strategies to enhance language access and create a linguistic infrastructure to support a diverse and vibrant population.

BROOKLYN, N.Y., June 11, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Eriksen Translations is proud to announce the inaugural GALA Roadshow in New York City, an event dedicated to language accessibility and inclusion from the language professional’s perspective. Hosted by the Globalization and Localization Association (GALA) and co-sponsored by Eriksen Translations and New York University School of Professional Studies, the event will take place on June 25, 2024, at NYU’s New York City campus.

“We are excited to bring together such a diverse and knowledgeable group of speakers to discuss critical issues in language accessibility and inclusion,” said Vigdis Eriksen, founder and CEO of Eriksen Translations.

Featuring speakers from the NYC Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs and the New York State Office of Language Access, presenters will address strategies to enhance language access and create a linguistic infrastructure to support a diverse and vibrant population.

In New York State, 800 languages and dialects are represented, and 3 in 10 households speak a language other than English at home. New York State is among the states with the largest share of population with limited English proficiency (13%), and the second state to have established a statewide Office of Language Access. This linguistic diversity makes New York an exciting case study for language access, as the approaches employed here can be widely applied to other multilingual communities.

To further expand on access and inclusion from a language professional’s perspective, the event will include representatives from NYU discussing cultural communications and DEI, along with Eriksen Translations’ EVP Kevin Hudson, who will offer insights on accessibility. A networking reception with light refreshments will close the day, providing an opportunity for attendees to connect and share ideas.

“We are excited to bring together such a diverse and knowledgeable group of speakers to discuss critical issues in language accessibility and inclusion,” said Vigdis Eriksen, founder and CEO of Eriksen Translations. “The lessons learned and best practices developed here in New York can be widely applied, benefiting communities far beyond our state.”

Presentations include:

Language Access Rights in New York State (Margarita Larios, Alejandro Cintron, and Mirna Turina, New York State Office of Language Access)Accessibility (Kevin Hudson, Eriksen Translations Inc.)Intercultural Communications and DEI (Raúl H. Sanchez and Dan Bullock, NYU)New York’s Endangered Languages (Ross Perlin, Endangered Language Alliance)Imagining a Linguistic Infrastructure for New York City (Kenneth Lo, NYC Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs)

Published

Recent research carried out by Smart Grid Forums with over 100 European power grid professionals revealed growing concern that eroding supply chain reliability, workforce stability, and OT cybersecurity are inhibiting grid transformation projects, delaying renewables integration, and impacting Europe’s future energy security.

THE HAGUE CONFERENCE CENTRE, The Netherlands, Nov. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Recent research carried out by Smart Grid Forums with over 100 European power grid professionals revealed growing concern that eroding supply chain reliability, workforce stability, and OT cybersecurity are inhibiting grid transformation projects, delaying renewables integration, and impacting Europe’s future energy security.

Driving grid modernisation in the context of geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, and workforce uncertainty to guarantee future energy security in Europe

It is with this in mind that Smart Grid Forums launch their 6th annual SGT25 conference, with an extended day of strategic plenary sessions addressing the big picture issues impacting the sector, followed by a technical programme show casing the best of the grid modernisation projects across TSO and DSO organizations.

“European utilities have never been under more pressure to deliver grid transformation whilst navigating the complexities of global supply chain disruptions, workforce uncertainties, and a more geopolitically malicious cyber threat landscape” said Mandana White, CEO of Smart Grid Forums. “It is at times like these that utilities must come together to gain clarity on the big picture, compare their experiences, and unify to tackle the path ahead with innovative new strategies and greater energy and conviction than ever before. Delivering to the energy transition is not a matter of If but one of How.”

At SGT25 utility senior managers will come together with their technical teams for three days of strategic and technical discussions, in order to get onto the same page, and move in the same direction at greater pace than ever before. The programme consists of:

1-Day Infrastructure Investment Briefing – a series of utility panel discussions addressing technology investment priorities and the implications for utility technical teams and the supplier ecosystem2-Day Technical Case-Study Conference – implementation focused programme reviewing the successes, setbacks, and future roadmaps of utility project leaders and product specifiers in six core domains: Digital Substations, Operational Systems, Smart Meter Infrastructure, OT Cybersecurity, Big Data, and Asset ManagementInnovation Excellence Awards Ceremony – attended by all participants, and evening of recognition and reward in support of utility innovationRoundtable Discussions – private senior management roundtable discussions as well as public technical roundtable discussions, facilitating high impact information exchange and networkingExhibition & Live Demo Labs – a display of leading smart grid product and service suppliers with deep expertise and experience in the grid sector

The Hottest Dog Bronchial Health Supplement on Shopee in 2024

Published

on

By

SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — As a dog owner, you may have often heard your furry friend coughing, whether it’s a dry hack or a honking sound. Though it might seem trivial, these coughs can cause serious discomfort for your furry friend and create anxiety for you as a caring pet parent.

DOCTORBY’s BREATH CARE is a nutritional supplement designed to support bronchial health in dogs, currently gaining attention among many pet owners on Shopee.

Coughing in dogs can be triggered by various factors, including temperature fluctuations, strong air conditioning, and dust or debris inhaled during walks. Additionally, as dogs age, their bronchial immunity can weaken, leading to potential health issues.

BREATH CARE contains a blend of functional ingredients like the plant-based complex extract TF-343, magnesium, and propolis, which can help alleviate respiratory issues such as coughing and support the elimination of waste accumulated in the bronchial passages.[1] With a taste dogs love, it doubles as a treat, making it incredibly easy for pet owners to administer. Furthermore, it has passed heavy metal and toxicity tests, ensuring safety without the use of synthetic sweeteners or colorings.

Currently, BREATH CARE ranks as one of the top products in Shopee’s pet nutrition and supplement category. In May 2024, it achieved the number one sales position in the pet nutrition category on Shopee Singapore, garnering immense popularity. Shopee has reported a staggering 3,000% growth in sales compared to 2023. Notably, DOCTORBY has not only topped the charts on Shopee but has also held the number one position on Amazon Japan for 22 consecutive weeks, establishing itself as a leader in the South Korean pet nutrition market and rapidly expanding in the global market.

For cat owners, the cat-specific bronchial supplement, CAT BREATH CARE, is also enjoying tremendous popularity. Additionally, DOCTORBY offers a variety of health supplements, including ‘SKIN & COAT’ for skin support, ‘EYES CARE’ for eye health and tear stain improvement, and ‘HAIRBALL CARE’ to assist with hairball elimination in cats. In Singapore, DOCTORBY products are exclusively available on Shopee.

Enjoy fast delivery via Shopee’s reliable fulfillment services, with most orders arriving within 2 to 3 days for a satisfying shopping experience. Shopee also hosts monthly promotional events, such as Double Day and Pay Day, offering a range of exciting deals. Moreover, a special Mega Day event is planned for November 11, promising additional benefits for shoppers.
