Ark Of Israel is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to strengthen the unbreakable bond between the United States and Israel. The organization is pleased to announce that the 70th United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will be the keynote speaker at the inaugural Hearts Of Courage Gala on Nov. 14, 2022, at 6 p.m. (CT) at The Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Belmont University. 

Mike Pompeo served as the 70th United States Secretary of State from April 2018 through January 2021. He previously served from January 2017 to April 2018 as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

As our nation’s most senior diplomat, Secretary Pompeo helped craft U.S. foreign policy based on our nation’s founding ideals, putting America first. America became a massive energy exporter and a force for good in the Middle East, cementing real peace through the work of the Abraham Accords. 

In addition to serving as the keynote, Secretary Pompeo will also receive the Hearts Of Courage Lifetime Achievement Award for his dedicated service to the United States and commitment to ensuring the safety of its greatest ally, Israel.

Secretary Pompeo will be joined by a growing lists of world-renowned guests who include: Anat Sultan Dadon (Consul General of Israel to the Southeastern United States), Shlomi Nahumson (CEO of IDF Widows and Orphans Organization), Netanel Hershtik (Cantor of The West Hampton Synagogue – NY), Shahar Azani (SR VP of the Jewish Broadcast Service), Justice Enlow (Miss Tennessee USA, 2020), Jonathan Feldstein (CEO of Genesis 123) and Kim Walker-Smith (Grammy-nominated artist and acclaimed worship leader) who will be providing live entertainment for guests. 

The Hearts Of Courage Gala will bring leaders from across the globe together to honor the unbreakable bond between the United States and Israel. With proceeds benefiting the IDF Widows & Orphans Organization and Ark Of Israel’s initiatives to unite America and Israel, this historic event will be a celebration as we come together to assist the most vulnerable among us.

As European COVID deaths rise, it’s time for businesses to review their pandemic planning and ensure lockdowns won’t be needed or even recommended

Clint Van Marrewijk, CEO and Founder of SaferMe

AUSTIN, Texas – October 18, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

As European countries see an increase in their COVID infections, providing an early indication of what is potentially on its way to the USA, SaferMe, a leading pandemic readiness company, is recommending that local businesses review their pandemic readiness plans in the face of a potential winter surge of the virus. 

The European Centre For Disease Prevention and Control has stated that it has begun “seeing indicators rising again in Europe, suggesting that another wave of infections has begun.” Pooled COVID data up to the end of week 40, 2022 (the week ending Oct. 13), in Europe showed “widespread increases were being observed in all indicators, with one third of EU/EEA countries reporting increases in COVID-19 deaths.” 

“What is concerning is that many U.S companies are developing COVID fatigue and are becoming complacent with their planning, despite growing health indicators in Europe. It is just good business continuity protocol to ensure that pandemic plans are always up to date,” says Clint Van Marrewijk, CEO and founder of SaferMe. “Companies that rely on outdated historic pandemic plans or adopt a wait-and-see approach are potentially jeopardizing business operations, supply chains, and jobs.”

Additionally, America will also be heading into its flu season. “Irrespective of the pandemic type or its magnitude, now is the time for businesses to take the responsible steps to be prepared for all types of pandemic eventualities. Companies that are well prepared can avoid complete lockdowns. We have had some bitter lessons in what not being adequately prepared means. Businesses have a duty of care to look after their employees and all visitors on company premises,” adds Van Marrewijk.

To mitigate against the impact of poor pandemic planning, SaferMe recommends that companies develop an integrated response, which can be activated within 48 hours of a virus risk surpassing the company’s risk tolerance. The following steps will help companies achieve this:

• Monitoring health developments inside their business as well as up and down their supply chain and the environment in which they are located
• Contacting partners, suppliers and customers to ensure that they have up-to-date pandemic plans
• Avoiding “siloed” pandemic plans that exist in isolation. Instead, incorporate an integrated pandemic plan into the company’s business continuity planning
• Pre-approving response systems, such as technology, that can confirm which employees have been in contact with each other (only when needed). This information is derived from second-generation contact tracing, which makes the old-fashioned phone tree systems completely obsolete — these must be removed from all plans 
• Develop a virus toolkit that exist in a state of readiness and can be activated at a moment’s notice. The toolkits must contain personal protective equipment, a supply of hygiene supplies such as hand sanitizers, an automated contact-tracing system, and company-wide health-check ability.

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.
