Larson Electronics Releases 150W Explosion Proof High Pressure Sodium Light
KEMP, Texas, May 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Larson Electronics, a Texas-based business with expertise in modern lighting systems and temporary power distribution products, has released a new explosion proof high pressure sodium light approved for Class I Division 1 Groups C & D, Class I Division 2 Groups A, B, C & D, Class II Divisions 1 & 2 Groups F & D and Class III Divisions 1 & 2 hazardous areas and is also rated for use in wet and marine environments. This wet and marine environment approved fixture provides operators with an extremely dependable source of light for oil and gasoline docks, utility plants, coal pulverizing facilities and a variety of other hazardous areas.The EPL-TN-150-347V from Larson Electronics is an explosion proof high pressure sodium light that can illuminate up to 20,000 square feet of workspace on just 150 watts. This dual ended high-pressure sodium lamp is equivalent to a typical 400-watt halogen bulb but runs cooler and produces more light.
The lamp assembly includes the 150-watt HPS bulb, an internal ballast and an aluminum finish reflector in a copper-free cast aluminum housing with a thermoset powder coat finish. The shell, covers and sealed fittings are also made of copper-free aluminum and the lens is constructed of thermal shock and impact resistant tempered glass. The metal halide lamp in this unit has no filament and is thus highly resistant to damage from shocks or impacts, greatly reducing the chances of damage should they be dropped or hit, unlike incandescent lamps which may break or shatter.
The EPL-TN-150-347V features an adjustable yolk mount which allows the lamp to be easily adjusted up or down and locked into position. The lamp is rated at 24,000+ hours of life providing longer service life than typical halogen lamps and operates with 347V AC. The EPL-TN-150-347V includes a 3/4" NPT hub for making wiring connections.
“High pressure sodium lamps provide much higher output than halogens, and run cooler as well,” said Rob Bresnahan, CEO of Larson Electronics LLC. “This explosion proof HPS is ideal for close work in hazardous areas where safety and accuracy are absolutely necessary.”

Permex Petroleum shares gush higher on Blackspear farmout deal
Permex Petroleum Corporation (CSE:OIL) announced a farm-out deal with venture capital group Blackspear Capital Corp on the 680-acre Oxy Yates property in New Mexico, sending shares higher. Blackspear will farm into leases where the Yates oil formation is said to be between 50 feet (ft) and 60 feet thick and lying at an average depth of 1,200 feet. Permex believes that the excellent 10-acre well spacing provides the opportunity for an estimated 32 locations to be drilled and completed at an estimated cost of between US$50,000 and US$80,000 per well. Significantly, Blackspear will bear the entire cost of the drilling and completing the operations. "Permex Petroleum is excited to have executed the Farm-out Agreement thereby securing the relationship with Blackspear as a Venture Capital strategic partner," said Mehran Ehsan, the president and chief executive of Permex. "This partnership will enhance Permex's ability to drill and develop its assets without accessing debt or further accessing equity markets, thereby reducing the debt and market dilution risk and strengthening the Company's ability to perform its reserve development program in a timely fashion." Khaleel Meghji, president of Blackspear Capital added: "We believe the Oxy Yates property is a very promising oil and gas field and that Permex Petroleum's portfolio of Texas and New Mexico acreage is among the most exciting farm-in opportunities we've evaluated in the region. "We look forward to working closely with Permex to define and execute the drilling opportunities as quickly and economically as possible." Upon the farmee (Blackspear) earning any income from the sale of any oil, natural gas, or other hydrocarbons, the farmor (Permex) shall retain a 25% working interest before payout in the assigned leases applicable to that particular well until farmee has recovered its costs (after payout). Then, Permex shall retain a 50% working interest in the well. Permex shares added 10% on the day to stand at C$0.55 each.

Corsicana Porchfest in Texas: Visit with folks on the porch
CORSICANA, Texas (AP) — It's an old-fashioned way to spend a Saturday: Visit with folks on a porch, stroll around downtown, enjoy a cold drink and a snack. That's the idea behind a new event called the Corsicana Porchfest & Crafternoon, scheduled for June 9 in Corsicana, Texas, about 45 minutes from Dallas. The event encourages locals and visitors alike to spend a "day out in Corsicana" with an open invitation to get to know homeowners in the town's Carriage District. The neighborhood was settled by oil barons, politicians and early business leaders after oil was discovered there in 1894 by a contractor drilling for water. Twenty-one millionaires were listed as residents in the early 1950s.

Oil is rallying after report says OPEC won't nix supply cuts before next year
· *Oil surged Wednesday after a report said that OPEC will likely keep output cuts through the end of the year.*· *Prices had been falling last week after reports said the cartel could increase output before then.*
· *Follow oil prices in real time here. *
--------------------
Oil rallied more than 2% Wednesday after a report said that OPEC could extend supply cuts through the end of the year.
West Texas Intermediate rose 2.2% to $68.35 a barrel at 12:15 p.m. ET. Brent, the international benchmark, was up 2.72% to $77.45 a barrel. Prices had been sliding last week after OPEC signaled it could raise output amid supply disruptions in Venezuela.
But output increases might not happen until at least next year. A Gulf source familiar with the thinking of the Saudis, told Reuters that members of the cartel are "satisfied" with the current agreement deadline of December.
Any output increases next year would be in a "gradual and deliberate fashion," the source said, adding that the group is "not ready yet to fully lift controls.”
Also pushing up crude, the greenback — which tends to move opposite of dollar-denominated commodities prices — slipped 0.75% on Wednesday versus its major peers.
WTI is up 34.4% over the year.

A startup that’s raised $115 million once wanted to disrupt the multi-billion home care industry — now it’s working with it
· *Honor, a senior home care startup that wants to use technology to better care for seniors in their homes, has changed the way it's doing business. *· *Honor switched up its business model in late 2017 to start working with home care agencies to staff their practices — rather than compete with them for clients. "They’re really good at being deep in communities," CEO Seth Sternberg told Business Insider.*
· *To date, Honor has raised $115 million from backers including Andreessen Horowitz and Thrive Capital. *
--------------------
Home care startup Honor is no longer looking to disrupt the healthcare world in the same way that Uber redefined the taxi industry.
After learning that upending the existing home care world would be more difficult than it had imagined, Honor is crafting a new strategy. The company is now working with established home care agencies by supplying them with technology and employees to take care of their senior clients. It'd be like if a rideshare startup were to supply existing taxi companies with drivers and an app for customers to use.
Honor is part of the multi-billion-dollar home care industry, one that's growing as the elderly population booms in the US. The idea is that having an extra hand at home could help otherwise healthy elderly people stay independent for longer, and hopefully out of the hospital.
Honor helps out on the non-medical end of things, supplying care professionals that can assist elderly clients with daily chores, transport to a doctor's appointment, grocery shopping, or other activities that are part of daily life, while streamlining the process using technology.
As Honor got its start, it went head-to-head in competition with the established senior care agencies that were in each of the cities Honor branched into.
"There's no customer we don't compete for. We compete for every single customer," Honor CEO Seth Sternberg told Business Insider in August 2016. The system of agencies, Sternberg said at the time, was historically "fragmented."
But late last year, Honor started working with the agencies it once sought to be in competition with.
Instead of competing to recruit elderly clients to use Honor instead of another local agency, agencies have started to use Honor's technology and staffing capabilities to send out care professionals to the clients they manage.
"They’re really good at being deep in communities," Sternberg told Business Insider. Healthcare — from the pharmacy to the doctor's office to the hospital — is a local experience, and that extends to home care as well. Because home care agencies are already embedded into local communities, Honor doesn't have to replicate that work or compete against them. Now, the company can just plug itself in, handling a lot of the logistics that are similar from agency to agency.
In May, Honor raised an additional $50 million in a round led by South African tech firm Naspers Ventures to build out its "Care Network," the group of home care agencies that use Honor. To date, Honor's raised $115 million.
*How home care agencies use Honor*
Working with the home care agency and through Honor's technology (housed in an app and online), Honor lines clients up with a "Care Pro" (the home care professional) who's a good fit and has the right expertise to help out that elderly client. Through the app, family members can schedule times when they need a Care Pro to stop by, add details, and monitor to make sure the visit actually happened.
That way, the Care Pros, the seniors receiving care, the agency that linked the seniors to the Care Pros, and their loved ones are all connected through Honor's app.
Now that it's working with agencies, most of that process stays the same, but the agencies set up the clients. Honor takes on a lot of the administrative tasks, which has been a big help to Laurie Miller, who runs Apple Care and Companion in Dallas, Texas and started working with Honor at the end of 2017. Miller started her agency with her mother in 2006. Over the last decade, she's seen the home care industry go through some big changes.
"It's like night and day," she said. Recruiting care professionals has gotten more competitive as her small business goes up against not just other home care clinics but nursing homes and other professions.
Because of that competition, Miller would often quadruple shift interview appointments, hoping even one candidate would show. Now, Honor employs the Care Pros that work with Miller's clients.
Not having to recruit gives Miller more time to grow the business, she said, especially because she can bring on additional care professionals as needed.
Miller also used to rely on an on-call cell phone that clients could ring if they needed care. Miller and other Apple employees would take turns bringing the phone home overnight and would grapple with finding someone available at an odd hour of the night.
Now that she's using Honor, clients can call the startup instead.* *
Honor has set up shop in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and the Dallas-Fort Worth area. It has also expanded to Albuquerque, New Mexico, to see how the company could fare in a less densely populated area. So far, it's been easier than other places, Sternberg said, in part because there's less traffic for Care Pros to get caught in on the way to a visit.
Shaking up the senior home care industry has had some growing pains beyond Honor. In February 2017 Homehero, a startup with $20 million in funding, shut down its home care business and pivoted to a healthcare venture. Hometeam, a New York-based home healthcare startup, in May hired a new CEO as part of its push to work more closely with health plans including Medicare and Medicaid.

SuperSonic Imagine to Feature Aixplorer, the Only Ultrasound Imaging device with 510(k) Approval for Management of Liver Disease, at Digestive Disease Week 2018
Attendees will experience the Aixplorer’s groundbreaking 60-second alternative to liver biopsy
AIX-EN-PROVENCE, France, May 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SuperSonic Imagine (Euronext:SSI) (FR0010526814), a company specializing in ultrasound medical imaging, announced today that it will feature the Aixplorer^® platform at Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2018, held June 2 – 5 at Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. The Aixplorer platform, which includes the Aixplorer and Aixplorer Ultimate ultrasound systems, is the only imaging ultrasound device platform to receive 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to aid clinical management of adult patients with liver disease. The technology gives physicians new validated clinical indicators to support non-invasive assessment of hepatic fibrosis and steatosis.“To use an accurate, non-invasive, 60-second imaging test instead of a biopsy is a groundbreaking change for hepatologists who treat liver disease and millions of patients who suffer from it,” said Dr. Sumeet Asrani MD MSc, Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas, Texas. “Millions of Americans are diagnosed with liver diseases each year, and tens of thousands die.^1 A non-invasive alternative can help patients avoid repeated biopsies, as well as lower the threshold for that level of testing. It is truly exciting.”
In addition to routine morphological and hemodynamic imaging, Aixplorer systems can quickly and reliably image and measure liver and spleen stiffness in real time under image guidance, utilizing the platform’s ShearWave^TM Elastography (SWE) technology, a 60-second non-invasive exam. Liver and spleen stiffness are known to be correlated to liver fibrosis severity and are therefore considered critical non-invasive bio markers of disease severity. Physicians also can compare ultrasound liver brightness to reference tissue to gain a hepato-renal brightness ratio, which indicates the extent of hepatic steatosis. Aixplorer’s ability to visualize and quantify abdominal vascularization and perfusion aid clinical management of adult patients with liver nodules and advanced chronic liver diseases as well.
“We think it’s appropriate to feature the Aixplorer Ultimate’s capabilities for liver disease at this DDW 2018 meeting, which is themed, ‘Monumental Developments in Science and Medicine,’” said Michèle Lesieur, CEO of SuperSonic Imagine. “We are very proud of the 510(k) clearance we received in January, which made the Aixplorer platform the only imaging ultrasound device specifically approved for management of liver disease, and we look forward to sharing its capabilities with esteemed specialists from around the world.”
SuperSonic Imagine will be exhibiting during DDW 2018 in the Exhibit Hall at booth #2046.

AIX-EN-PROVENCE, France, May 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SuperSonic Imagine (Euronext:SSI) (FR0010526814), a company specializing in ultrasound medical imaging, announced today that it will feature the Aixplorer^® platform at Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2018, held June 2 – 5 at Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. The Aixplorer platform, which includes the Aixplorer and Aixplorer Ultimate ultrasound systems, is the only imaging ultrasound device platform to receive 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to aid clinical management of adult patients with liver disease. The technology gives physicians new validated clinical indicators to support non-invasive assessment of hepatic fibrosis and steatosis.“To use an accurate, non-invasive, 60-second imaging test instead of a biopsy is a groundbreaking change for hepatologists who treat liver disease and millions of patients who suffer from it,” said Dr. Sumeet Asrani MD MSc, Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas, Texas. “Millions of Americans are diagnosed with liver diseases each year, and tens of thousands die.^1 A non-invasive alternative can help patients avoid repeated biopsies, as well as lower the threshold for that level of testing. It is truly exciting.”
In addition to routine morphological and hemodynamic imaging, Aixplorer systems can quickly and reliably image and measure liver and spleen stiffness in real time under image guidance, utilizing the platform’s ShearWave^TM Elastography (SWE) technology, a 60-second non-invasive exam. Liver and spleen stiffness are known to be correlated to liver fibrosis severity and are therefore considered critical non-invasive bio markers of disease severity. Physicians also can compare ultrasound liver brightness to reference tissue to gain a hepato-renal brightness ratio, which indicates the extent of hepatic steatosis. Aixplorer’s ability to visualize and quantify abdominal vascularization and perfusion aid clinical management of adult patients with liver nodules and advanced chronic liver diseases as well.
“We think it’s appropriate to feature the Aixplorer Ultimate’s capabilities for liver disease at this DDW 2018 meeting, which is themed, ‘Monumental Developments in Science and Medicine,’” said Michèle Lesieur, CEO of SuperSonic Imagine. “We are very proud of the 510(k) clearance we received in January, which made the Aixplorer platform the only imaging ultrasound device specifically approved for management of liver disease, and we look forward to sharing its capabilities with esteemed specialists from around the world.”
SuperSonic Imagine will be exhibiting during DDW 2018 in the Exhibit Hall at booth #2046.
