LOS CABOS, Mexico (PRWEB) November 28, 2018

Chileno Bay Resort & Residences, Los Cabos’ premier beachfront resort and residential villa community is expanding its current real estate offerings, breaking ground this month on its final phase of development. Fourteen contemporary ocean view units will debut in 2020, including brand new villa options with larger layouts and enhanced home design features.

Chileno Bay Resort & Residences has seen record-breaking sales numbers totaling more than $165 million since the sales launch. Phase two, which debuted in fall 2018, has nearly sold out, fast-tracking phase three construction. With these final 14 units, owners will have the opportunity to take advantage of expansive new floorplans, including bi-level villas and one five-bedroom penthouse residence, all with an upgraded contemporary design package and state-of-the-art technology. Villas range from four- to five-bedrooms with pricing starting at $2,500,000.

Four-bedroom units span 3,435 square feet with an additional 1,200 square feet of covered outdoor living space. The five-bedroom penthouse residence sits at 5,554 square feet and features two ocean-facing master suites, a 1,000-square-foot private rooftop pool, 2,600 square feet of covered terrace space, and a wine cellar.

The villas are clean, light, and airy, embracing the indoor-outdoor living style of the oceanfront community with natural wood textures and flares of coastal colors. The new homes will feature an open concept with floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that open to spacious private terraces and balconies with Jacuzzis. Ground-floor villas will also offer a private pool and sun deck. All villas are equipped with indoor gourmet kitchens with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances and well-equipped outdoor grill centers. These final 14 units will offer more shared living space and larger outdoor areas, while incorporating new cutting-edge technology. The residences will continue offering the immaculate finishes and fixtures for which the community has become known. Distinct artisanal furnishings and artwork included in the design package will exude the same contemporary feel that’s evident throughout Chileno Bay Resort & Residences.

“We are excited to be embarking on the final phase of development after two very successful years operating as an award-winning resort and residential community,” said Mark Cooley, partner, SV Capital Partners, developers of the resort. “Our goal with these final units is to offer future buyers the most exciting new ownership opportunity in the market and continue to bring a new level of luxury to Los Cabos.”

Datalogic is pleased to announce SLS-SA5, the stand alone model of the LASER SENTINEL safety laser scanners family.

BOLOGNA, Italy (PRWEB) November 28, 2018

Datalogic, a global leader in the automatic data capture and process automation markets, is pleased to announce SLS-SA5, the stand alone model of the LASER SENTINEL safety laser scanners family. The first version of the Datalogic innovative solution for safe area scanning, SLS-B5, was released last year, well acclaimed by the manufacturing industry, that appreciated the easy programming of the system with intuitive graphic user interface and the high detection capability.

Today, Datalogic proudly reveals a new model with even more features that will cover a larger variety of applications in factory automation and intralogistics. The world's largest automotive companies have already shown great interest in Datalogic's new Safety Laser Scanner.

SLS-SA5 is a complete application-oriented solution based on the safe monitoring of a two-dimensional area including all functions needed for static horizontal and vertical applications (such as robot cells, machine perimeter protection, machine opening protections, etc.) as well as dynamic applications (automated guided vehicles, automated guided carts and forklifts) in a compact device with high level detection performances. Innovative optical features and signal filtering make the Laser Sentinel extremely reliable in industrial environments where dust, dirt or light interferences can’t be avoided.

“Safety in the manufacturing industry has certainly improved over the last decades, nonetheless the concerns are still numerous and very real. People remain at the center of many processes, despite the increasing automation, and are still very much exposed to serious injuries. By prioritizing safety, a manufacturing company can set the values for the entire workforce. The safety laser scanner is used to detect people who are approaching a hazardous area, before reaching it, in order to prevent hazardous circumstances (for example, a mechanical movement) that may cause injuries or an accident. The protective detection is done by defining a safety area, whose shape and dimensions must be designed according to the risk assessment of the machine. The user must consider the position of the hazardous point, the shape of the machine and the surrounding environment as well as the time needed to stop any dangerous approach,” said Paolo Zanetta, Datalogic Product Marketing Manager. “Among the new features are the possibility to switch dynamically between up to 6 different safety zones, to program reference points for a safe use in vertical applications, and the integration of muting function,” added Zanetta.

Like any other safety product designed and produced by Datalogic, LASER SENTINEL has been certified according to the most recent European safety standard harmonized with the Machine Directive, with the supervision and control of the independent and renowned TÜV SÜD. LASER SENTINEL is also cULus Listed for the Canada and US markets.

Datalogic is a global leader in the automatic data capture and process automation markets, specialized in the designing and production of bar code readers, mobile computers, sensors for detection, measurement and safety, RFID vision and laser marking systems. Datalogic solutions help to increase the efficiency and quality of processes in the Retail, Manufacturing, Transportation & Logistics and Healthcare industries, along the entire value chain.

The world's leading players in the four reference industries use Datalogic products, certain of the attention to the customer and of the quality of the products that the Group has been offering for 45 years.

Today Datalogic Group, headquartered in Bologna (Italy), employs approximately 3,100 staff worldwide, distributed in 30 countries, with manufacturing and repair facilities in the USA, Brazil, Italy, Slovakia, Hungary and Vietnam. In 2017 Datalogic had a turnover of 606 million Euro and invested over 55 million Euros in Research & Development, with an asset of more than 1,200 patents in multiple jurisdictions.

Datalogic S.p.A. is listed in the STAR segment of the Italian Stock Exchange since 2001 as DAL.MI. More information about Datalogic at http://www.datalogic.com.

Rare disease therapy honored with seven Prix Galien awards, including six independent country recognitions, for innovation in treating spinal muscular atrophy

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Biogen Inc. (Nasdaq: BIIB) has been awarded the 2018 International Prix Galien as Best Biotechnology Product for SPINRAZA (nusinersen), the first and only treatment for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The prestigious honor marks the seventh Prix Galien for SPINRAZA, following country recognitions in the U.S., Germany, Italy, Belgium-Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the U.K. The international award was presented at a ceremony in Dakar, Senegal on November 28, 2018.“We are honored that the Galien Foundation continues to recognize the groundbreaking science and profound clinical impact of SPINRAZA with this international award,” said Michel Vounatsos, chief executive officer of Biogen. “The ability to bring the first and only therapy to people living with SMA is the result of a close collaboration with the SMA community, academia, researchers and our colleagues at Ionis, which has made a meaningful difference in this area of high unmet medical need.”

The International Prix Galien is given every two years by Prix Galien International Committee members in recognition of excellence in scientific innovation to improve human health. To qualify for International Prix Galien consideration, nominees must have won a Prix Galien in an individual member country.

SMA is a progressive, debilitating neuromuscular disease that impacts infants, children and adults. It affects approximately one in every 10,000 live births and results in muscle weakness which can take away a person’s ability to walk, eat and ultimately breathe.^1 The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved SPINRAZA on December 23, 2016, under priority review for the treatment of SMA in pediatric and adult patients. In June 2017 SPINRAZA was granted marketing authorization in the European Union to treat individuals with 5q SMA, the most common form of the disease representing approximately 95 percent of all SMA cases.^2

*About The Galien Foundation*
The Galien Foundation fosters, recognizes and rewards excellence in scientific innovation to improve the state of human health. The Foundation oversees and directs activities in the USA for the Prix Galien, an international award that recognizes outstanding achievements in improving the human condition through the development of innovative therapies. The Prix Galien was created in France in 1970 in honor of Galen, the father of medical science and modern pharmacology.

*SPINRAZA Program Status *
SPINRAZA is the first and only approved medicine for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and is currently approved in the U.S., the European Union, and Japan, among other countries. Biogen has submitted regulatory filings in additional countries and plans to initiate additional filings in other countries. As of September 30, 2018 nearly 6,000 individuals with SMA are being treated with SPINRAZA worldwide, based on patients across the post-marketing setting, Expanded Access Program (EAP) and clinical trial participants.

To support the urgent need for treatment for the most severely affected individuals living with SMA, Biogen initiated one of the largest, global, pre-approval EAPs in any rare disease, providing access to therapy free of charge. From its launch to June 30, 2018, the EAP has provided treatment access to more than 750 patients across 29 countries. Biogen also supports a Named Patient Sales Program (NPP), which allows access to SPINRAZA in countries where it is not commercially available.

Biogen licensed the global rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize SPINRAZA from Ionis Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: IONS), a leader in antisense therapeutics. Biogen and Ionis conducted an innovative clinical development program, the largest of its kind in SMA, that moved SPINRAZA from its first dose in humans in 2011 to its first regulatory approval in five years.

*About SMA^1,3-6*
SMA is a rare, genetic, neuromuscular disease that is characterized by loss of motor neurons in the spinal cord and lower brain stem, resulting in severe and progressive muscle atrophy and weakness. Ultimately, individuals with SMA may lose the ability to walk and can have difficulty performing the basic functions of life, such as breathing and swallowing, which results in significant healthcare intervention and caregiver assistance. Left untreated, the majority of infants with the most severe form of the disease do not live to see their second birthday without respiratory intervention.

Due to a deletion of, or mutation in, the SMN1 gene, people with SMA do not produce enough survival motor neuron (SMN) protein, which is critical for the maintenance of motor neurons. The severity of SMA correlates with the amount of SMN protein an individual has. People with Type 1 SMA, the form that requires the most intensive and supportive care, produce very little SMN protein and do not achieve the ability to sit without support or live beyond two years without respiratory support. People with Type 2 and Type 3 SMA produce greater amounts of SMN protein and have less severe, but still life-altering forms of SMA.

*About SPINRAZA^® (nusinersen)**^7-10*
SPINRAZA is an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO), developed using Ionis’ proprietary antisense technology, that is designed to treat SMA caused by mutations or deletions in the SMN1 gene, located in chromosome 5q, that leads to a deficiency in SMN protein. SPINRAZA alters the splicing of SMN2 pre-mRNA in order to increase production of full-length SMN protein. ASOs are short synthetic strings of nucleotides designed to selectively bind to target RNA and regulate gene expression. Through use of this technology, SPINRAZA has been shown to increase the amount of full-length SMN protein in individuals with SMA.

SPINRAZA must be administered via intrathecal injection, which delivers therapies directly into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) around the spinal cord, where motor neurons degenerate in individuals with SMA due to insufficient levels of SMN protein.

In the clinical trial program, SPINRAZA demonstrated a favorable benefit-risk profile. The most common adverse reactions that occurred in the SPINRAZA group were respiratory infection and constipation. Serious adverse reactions of atelectasis were more frequent in SPINRAZA-treated patients. Coagulation abnormalities and thrombocytopenia, including acute severe thrombocytopenia, have been observed after administration of some ASOs. Individuals may be at increased risk of bleeding complications. Renal toxicity has been observed after administration of some ASOs. SPINRAZA is present in and excreted by the kidney.

Highly-Programmable Pluribus Adaptive Cloud Fabric Ensures Simplicity, Agility, and Resiliency

San Jose, Nov. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SAN JOSE, CALIF. – November 29, 2018 – Pluribus Networks today announced that Econocom Italia, one of Europe’s leading enablers of digital transformation, has selected the Pluribus Networks solution, which includes the Netvisor ONE network operating system (NOS), Adaptive Cloud Fabric™ and Pluribus UNUM Management Platform, to deliver Naboo Cloud, a new elastic hybrid cloud platform. The deal was enabled by Pluribus Networks’ partner Dell EMC. Pluribus currently supports a wide range of Dell EMC Open Networking switches, allowing Econocom Italia to benefit from the disruptive economics of open networking.

*Econocom Italia’s Naboo Cloud *

Econocom Italia designs and accelerates enterprise customers’ digital transformation and delivers a variety of digital, consulting and managed services to enable the successful implementation of large-scale digital projects.

Italy’s first software defined offering that integrates connectivity and co-location, Naboo Cloud is a high-performance hybrid cloud platform built across multiple geographically dispersed data centers in Italy, delivering a “gateway of services” to large and mid-sized businesses. Naboo Cloud includes cloud applications, co-location and hosting, managed services, virtual desktop infrastructure, high performance database virtualization, mobile device management, and consulting services. Naboo Cloud offers complete integration between public and private cloud environments through a single management platform for monitoring, provisioning and orchestrating the development and distribution of containerized applications in OpenStack environments.

"The programmability, performance and economics of our software-defined infrastructure is critical to our success and the foundation of our customer experience. Pluribus’ distributed, controllerless Adaptive Cloud Fabric architecture automates plug and play operation with Econocom Italia’s existing network infrastructure. Pluribus is delivering a non-disruptive and transparent solution that makes it easier for Econocom Italia to deliver, manage, and secure service delivery,” said Paolo Bombonati, Econocom Italia's chief operating officer.

*Pluribus Solution for Econocom Italia*

The Pluribus Linux-based Netvisor ONE network operating system (NOS) featuring the Adaptive Cloud Fabric (ACF) running on Dell EMC Open Networking Switches was selected because of the solution’s ability to not only bring open networking economics to Naboo Cloud, but for its ability to span and unify multiple geographically dispersed data centers. The ACF leverages next-generation software-defined networking (SDN) to create a network fabric that federates together a large number of switches to appear as one logical switch. Unlike competitive offerings, the ACF does so without the need for an external SDN controller. This controllerless next-generation SDN approach facilitates seamless insertion into existing brownfield network environments and dramatically reduces operating costs and the potential for human error while increasing resiliency with no single point of failure.

Econocom Italia also deployed Pluribus Unum which manages the network at the NOS and fabric level with a rich graphical user interface along with Pluribus Insight Analytics, providing deep network analysis down to the network flow level. The Pluribus ACF solution is integrated with VMware, which allows the provisioning of virtual machines and associated network connections directly from vCenter. The solution also interfaces with OpenStack enabling the migration of customers on Naboo Cloud from VMware to OpenStack if they prefer that option.

“Econocom Italia is helping businesses achieve their digital transformation goals in a highly efficient and integrated manner. In choosing Pluribus, and leveraging Dell EMC Open Networking solutions, Econocom Italia can deliver a cost-effective service that provides customers with greater agility and operational control, accelerating their journey to the multi-cloud world,” said Kumar Srikantan, Pluribus Networks’ president and chief executive officer.

*About Econocom*

Econocom finances and accelerates companies’ digital transformation. With more than 10,700 employees in 19 countries and revenue of €3 billion, Econocom has all the requisite abilities to ensure the successful implementation of large-scale digital projects: consulting, sourcing and technology management & financing of digital assets, infrastructure, application and business solution services, and project financing. Econocom has adopted European company status (Societas Europaea). The Econocom Group share has been listed on Euronext Brussels since 1986. It is part of the BEL Mid and Family Business indices.

*About Pluribus Networks*

The Pluribus Networks approach to next-generation data center architectures delivers an open, virtualized and highly programmable network fabric that ensures simplicity, agility, and resiliency with simplified management and white-box economics. Enabling freedom from legacy network constraints, the Pluribus Adaptive Cloud Fabric™ is powered by the Netvisor ONE OS and a wide range of Open Networking switches including devices from Dell EMC, D-Link Systems, Edge-core, and the Pluribus Freedom™ series network switches. These next-generation data center switches are purpose-built for software-defined and virtualized data centers of all sizes and deliver a cost-effective, high-performance, and scalable network foundation for infrastructure and application modernization. The combination of Open Networking hardware and the Pluribus Adaptive Cloud Fabric delivers a capability set that empowers any size organization to do more with their next-generation data center architectures while eliminating complexities, reducing risk, and speeding the time to value.

Adial Pharmaceuticals Establishes Scientific Advisory Board and Appoints Global Thought Leader in the Field of Alcohol Use Disorder

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Nov. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- *Adial Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADIL; ADILW)*, www.adialpharma.com, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of a therapeutic agent for the treatment of alcohol use disorder, today announced that it has established a Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) and has appointed Dr. Giovanni Addolorato, a leading global expert in the field of alcohol use disorder (AUD), as its first member and Chairperson. The SAB will help to guide the Company’s strategy and advance AD04, its lead therapeutic agent for AUD, with Phase 3 trials expected to commence in the first half of 2019.Dr. Addolorato is a professor of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the Department of Gastroenterology and Endocrino-Metabolic Sciences at the Catholic University of Rome. He is also the Director of the “Alcohol Use Disorder and Alcohol Related Disease” Unit at the Catholic University of Rome, and is a senior consultant of Internal Medicine, Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases at the Catholic University of Rome. He has published more than 600 publications on pharmacology and neurobiology of alcohol use disorders including therapeutics and treatment, and alcohol liver disease. More than 220 of his publications have been included in peer reviewed journals and have been featured in Lancet, Molecular Psychiatry, Journal of Hepatology, American Journal of Medicine, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, American Journal of Gastroenterology, Journal of Internal Medicine, Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research. He is an associate Editor of “Alcologia: European Journal of Alcohol Studies” and a is member of several Editorial Boards including, “World Journal of Gastroenterology”, “Alcohol & Alcoholism”, “European Addiction Research”, “Journal of Addiction”, “Journal of Alcoholism and Drug Dependence” and “World Journal of Hepatology.” He has lectured at numerous international meetings and has received several prizes for his work. Since 2006, Dr. Addolorato has been a member of the European Research Advisory Board (ERAB). Since 2009, he has also been a member of the National Anti-Drugs Commission of the Department for Anti-Drug Policies, Office of the Government of Italy.

Dr. Addolorato commented, “I am delighted to join Adial Pharmaceuticals’ SAB given the overwhelming market need for effective alcohol use disorder treatment and Adial’s encouraging Phase 2b data, which also showed a strong safety profile without the negative side effects of current drugs on the market.  I look forward to supporting the ongoing development AD04, which is designed to reduce cravings without the requirement of abstinence prior to or during treatment.”

William Stilley, CEO of Adial Pharmaceuticals, stated, “We are pleased to officially launch our new Scientific Advisory Board to support the development efforts of AD04, our lead product candidate. We welcome Dr. Addolorato as the first member of our SAB, as he brings tremendous knowledge and experience in AUD and is expected to play an integral role as we prepare to begin our Phase 3 clinical trial.”

*About Adial Pharmaceuticals, Inc.*

Adial Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of treatments for addictions. The Company’s lead investigational new drug product, AD04, is a genetically targeted therapeutic agent for the treatment of alcohol use disorder (“AUD”). A Phase 2b clinical trial of AD04 for the treatment of AUD showed promising results in reducing frequency of drinking, quantity of drinking and heavy drinking (all with statistical significance), and no overt safety concerns (there were no statistically significant serious adverse events reported). The Company plans to commence a Phase 3 clinical trial using AD04 for the potential treatment of AUD in subjects with certain target genotypes, which are to be identified using the Company’s proprietary companion diagnostic genetic test. AD04 is also believed to have the potential to treat other addictive disorders such as opioid use disorder, gambling, and obesity.

*About Alcohol Use Disorder*

According to an article in the widely respected publication The Lancet, alcohol is the number one cause of death globally among both men and women ages 15 to 49 years. In the United States alone, approximately 35 million people have AUD resulting in significant health, social and financial costs (NIAAA Alcohol Facts & Statistics). AUD contributes to over 200 different diseases, and 10% of children live with a person that has an alcohol problem. According to the American Society of Clinical Oncologists, 5-6% of new cancers and cancer deaths globally are directly attributable to alcohol. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has reported that AUD costs the U.S. economy about $250 billion annually, with heavy drinking accounting for greater than 75% of the social and health related costs. In addition, according to the NIAAA, the problem in the United States appears to be growing with an approximately 50% increase in AUD prevalence between 2002 and 2013.

Despite the high prevalence and high costs, according to an article in the JAMA 2015 publication, only 7.7% of patients (i.e., approximately 2.7 million people) with AUD are estimated to have been treated in any way and only 3.6% by a physician (i.e., approximately 1.3 million people). The most common treatments for AUD are directed at achieving abstinence and typical treatments include psychological and social interventions. Most therapies require abstinence even prior to initiating therapy. Abstinence requires dramatic lifestyle changes often with serious work and social consequences. Significant side effects of current pharmacologic therapies include mental side effects such as psychiatric disorders and depressive symptoms and physical side effects such as nausea, dizziness, vomiting, abdominal pain, arthritis and joint fitness. These problems with the currently available therapies appear to limit the willingness of people with AUD to seek treatment and then to limit compliance with treatment requirements and, therefore, the ultimate results for many people attempting currently available therapies.

Study reveals new model for measuring employer reputation and the pivotal importance of workplace culture and values in shaping corporate reputation

Boston, MA, Nov. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reputation Institute (RI), the world’s leading provider of reputation measurement, management and intelligence services, today announced the company’s first ever Employer of Choice RepTrak® study naming the world’s 10 most reputable employers with the greatest “Willingness to Work For” scores from the General Public.

The top 10 employer leaders globally recognized in RI’s 2018 Employer of Choice RepTrak® are (in alphabetical order):

· 3M [NYSE: MMM]
· BMW Group [OTCMKTS: BMWYY]
· Bosch [NSE: BOSCHLTD]
· Canon [NYSE: CAJ]
· Google [NASDAQ: GOOGL]
· Intel [NASDAQ: INTC]
· The LEGO Group
· Microsoft [NASDAQ: MSFT]
· Netflix [NASDAQ: NFLX]
· The Walt Disney Company [NYSE: DIS]

 
The world’s largest reputation study of its kind, the Employer of Choice RepTrak is based on more than 230,000 individual ratings collected in the first quarter of 2018. It includes unique insights into the dynamics behind reputational impact. The global study shows what drives employer reputation, and the direct correlation between corporate reputation and stakeholder support.

“The employee recruiting environment is increasingly challenging and highly competitive, with low unemployment and high employee turnover,” said Michele Tesoro-Tess, Executive Vice President and Market Leader at Reputation Institute. “The rubric for what it takes to be a great employer is quickly shifting. To be relevant as an Employer of Choice today, you need to be a progressive company with a moral conscience.”

“While organizations have traditionally focused on workplace metrics to attract and retain employees, our analysis shows the most important drivers of intent to work for a company go beyond that,” said Sven Klingemann, Global Research Manager at Reputation Institute. “Key drivers of becoming an employer of choice include being innovative; delivering on high quality product experience at a good value; being ethical, environmentally conscious, and positively mindful of societal influence; as well as appealing leadership.”

Key findings from the study demonstrate that Employer of Choice organizations enjoy competitive advantages — not only from an employer attractiveness perspective, but also encompassing a wide range of other supportive behaviors.  These supportive behaviors are reflected across diverse demographic groups, including Millennials, a key stakeholder group for employers.

Study results indicate that to become an Employer of Choice companies need to be progressive in a sustainable way, create compelling corporate narrative to express what they stand for and embrace their cultural values, while also leveraging their CEO to humanize the company. To remain an Employer of Choice, companies need to continue to act ethically.
