Centre for Neuro Skills Promotes Dr. Stefanie Howell to Director of Research Integration

Centre for Neuro Skills

Centre for Neuro Skills (CNS), a leader in traumatic brain injury and stroke rehabilitation services, today announced the promotion of Stefanie N. Howell, Ph.D., CBIS, to director of research integration. “Stefanie has been integral to Centre for Neuro Skills’ research program, looking closely at how we can not only improve the lives of our patients but people with brain injuries everywhere,” said David Harrington, president and CEO of Centre for Neuro Skills. “I’m excited to see the outcomes of our research efforts and how this can give us new insight into improving patient care. Since joining CNS in 2016, Howell has coordinated and designed clinical research studies, written manuscripts and provided education focused on methods for facilitating recovery and maximizing patient outcomes. Howell was promoted to Senior Neuroscientist in 2022 and now oversees the integration of CNS’ original research to expand understanding of brain injury, its causes and best treatment practices in the clinical setting. CNS’ ongoing research includes: Effects of Rehabilitation Following Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Stroke CNS researchers evaluate the durability of outcomes obtained during post-acute rehabilitation following stroke and TBI. This will also determine if rehabilitation outcome is associated with future occupational status, life quality, cognitive function, and overall health, including rehospitalization. Traumatic Brain Injury and the Gut Microbiome Years after a brain injury, some individuals develop a complex set of conditions that prevent them from absorbing essential amino acids. The purpose of this study is to determine if altering the diet in these individuals can change their amino acid absorption and reduce symptoms and markers of neuroinflammation. Effects Of Aerobic Exercise and Rehabilitation After Traumatic Brain Injury Exercise contributes to overall health and protects and heals the brain, but the response to exercise may change after a brain injury. Through examining exercise and how it facilitates recovery, CNS hopes to determine the individual response to exercise (and how it has changed), in order to better tailor therapy to each person. Outcome Biomarkers After Brain Injury Patients consent to providing biological samples to help identify biomarkers in blood, saliva, and other tissues that will help CNS increase diagnostic and prognostic capabilities, tailor patient care and determine how much treatment is necessary. This study will allow clinicians to foresee potential risks that may inhibit recovery and aid intervention effectiveness, allowing CNS to better evaluate current and novel therapeutic interventions. Sleep Alterations After Traumatic Brain Injury and Stroke Sleep-wake disturbances have been identified in up to 80% of those with brain injuries. Sleep problems are linked to impaired attention, decreased cognitive functioning (including memory and attention) and overall diminished response to rehabilitation. This study will determine the nature of sleep-wake disturbances post injury. Researchers may then identify whether disturbances are related to the type, location, or time since the injury, as well as the impact sleep has on outcome and responsiveness to rehabilitation. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) Following Traumatic Brain Injury This is a noninvasive technique of neurostimulation, which uses low amplitude direct current to alter brain cell firing. Studies suggest that tDCS is a painless technique for electrically stimulating the brain with almost no risk of harm. This form of therapy has been studied as a treatment modality for stroke patients but there is less evidence in literature for effectiveness in treating traumatic brain injury. This project will analyze the effects of a three-week program of tDCS on motor recovery and attention/concentration in individuals following a traumatic brain injury.

Van Horn Law Group Sees Spike in Bankruptcies Significantly Above National Average

Van Horn Law Group, P.A.

While Epic Bankruptcy, a legal services industry leader and American Bankruptcy Institute partner, reported last week, that total bankruptcy filings increased across the nation by 22 percent in February, year over year, Fort Lauderdale-based Van Horn Law Group, P.A. quadrupled that increase. The firm filed 95 percent more cases in February 2024 than in February 2023 and 84 percent more cases in January 2024 than in January 2023. “As one of the leading bankruptcy firms in the country, we operate at the front end of the trend toward increased bankruptcies,” said Chad Van Horn, founding partner attorney at Van Horn Law Group. “We watched it happen initially with a rush of inquiries from prospective clients, and now, we file more and more bankruptcies each month. We expect this surge to continue through the rest of 2024, reflecting the impact of high-interest rates, in some cases exceeding 30%, consumers are facing.” Van Horn Law Group is among the top bankruptcy attorneys in the country based on the number of cases filed (Pacer.gov). The firm filed 129 bankruptcy cases in January and 125 cases in February of this year. By comparison, it filed 70 cases in January and 64 cases in February last year. Van Horn Law Group’s January percentage of an 84 percent increase in bankruptcy filings year over year also is quadruple the 21 percent reported by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court Southern District of Florida. (February statistics have not been posted yet.) Chad Van Horn is a relentless advocate for debtors’ rights in the State of Florida and across the country. He aims to dispel the stigma associated with bankruptcy, empower citizens with knowledge of their rights, and provide access to the legal system. He currently has four offices across the state committed to helping people find their way out of overwhelming debt. The path that led him to become an insolvency professional started while he attended law school at night and worked for a financial services firm, scoping out real estate opportunities during the day. When the real estate bubble burst in 2008, he saw firsthand the desperation of those who were in over their heads. His opportunity was twofold—to help those in distress and to build an important, successful practice. The market situation opened up an opportunity, and he was in a position to help. He points to the company’s mission as the reason for its success: to restore peace of mind to individuals in financial distress by providing first-rate, affordable legal services with compassion, understanding, and respect. Van Horn believes his firm offers justice to those who are shut out of the legal system because of their economic circumstances. Van Horn Law Group is committed to finding and implementing ways to make the system more equitable. Van Horn provides significant pro bono work to those in need. The firm has never turned away a pro bono case. As of January 2024, the firm had handled 328 pro bono cases, translating to a contribution of services valued at $574,000. He is a long-time supporter of all Florida legal aid organizations and currently serves as the board chair of Legal Aid Service of Broward County. Van Horn Law Group, P.A. practices in the areas of personal and corporate bankruptcy, student loan consolidation and litigation, foreclosure defense, corporate reorganization, debt negotiation, civil litigation, debt relief, personal injury, and consumer law. The firm is headquartered in Fort Lauderdale and has satellite offices in Doral, North Miami, and Orlando. For more information, call (954) 637-0000 or visit www.vanhornlawgroup.com.

Meet Xtrades, The Platform That Has Paid its Traders Almost $2.5 Million in Four Years

Xtrades

By Austin DeNoce, Benzinga Finding success in the financial markets is a challenge requiring investors to continually adapt. Traders must stay abreast of market shifts, get educated on fundamentals and technical analysis and have the proper tools for efficient asset management. In addition to that, while learning best practices, they have to avoid fraudsters portraying themselves as successful advisors online – those selling dubious courses full of subjective knowledge. It can sometimes feel like the blind are leading the blind. The financial markets can feel lacking in other, less obvious ways, such as interactive experiences through real-time digital trading amongst friends or within a broader trading community. There's also a notable absence of incentives for non-professionals with financial skills or technical tools to share insights that could benefit an online trading community. It’s these challenges that the online platform Xtrades works to resolve. An Overview of Xtrades Xtrades is a community-powered trading platform for stocks and options, with a sister service devoted to cryptocurrencies, offering resources such as training videos, daily audio feeds, live trading strategies and detailed analytics through its Discord-integrated application. It features strict price validation for trading signals, emphasizing transparency through stats and track records. Using that data, which includes trading alerts from hundreds of users, Xtrades provides opportunities for users to compete, learn and earn through leaderboards. The platform emphasizes transparency and utilizes advanced features like a Machine Learning Algorithm to enhance the trading experience. Xtrades also allows users to monetize their trading expertise within its community with a ranked-user structure, providing a clear incentive for experts to share their wisdom with up-and-coming traders while working on improving their track record and ranking. How Xtrades Solves Market Challenges Aside from those features, the Xtrades platform tackles key issues plaguing traders and financial markets. To address fraud risks, the platform employs a strict price validation system for signaling. This system ensures that trading signals are executed only if the price is at or near the current market value, using real-time market feeds for precise pricing validation. This feature enables users to receive alerts that accurately reflect market prices to help them make timely and informed trading decisions. Additionally, Xtrades leverages mathematics and technology to constantly refine and enhance gamification and competition within the platform. This approach makes trading more engaging and rewarding while supporting traders in their journey toward self-sufficiency. Another standout feature is Xtrades' Machine Learning Model, which analyzes vast amounts of trade signals shared on the platform. This model identifies mathematically advantageous trades from a large sample, focusing on high-quality setups. This approach of filtering for the best trade ideas, coupled with the growing user base, exemplifies the application of Metcalfe's Law, where the platform's value exponentially increases with more active users. To address the absence of interactive trading communities, Xtrades became one of the first companies to integrate with Discord to offer visual analytics for traders. This integration facilitates efficient data analysis and discussion, making market insights more accessible and improving users' understanding of their own trading patterns and the broader market trends. It has also created a vibrant community of members who have formed relationships that go beyond their trading activity. The company reports that members who've met on the Xtrades Discord have become real-life friends and business partners who have become deeply invested in making the brand and the platform a success. A Brief History Of Xtrades Xtrades began as a modest newsletter service. Over a span of three years, the community has expanded from a single individual to 320,000 members on Discord. The platform's mailing list boasts over 500,000 users. In terms of growth metrics, Xtrades reports it has achieved an average year-over-year growth rate of 250 percent since 2019, with 1,200 percent growth recorded between 2019 and 2020. Xtrades generated over $6.5 million in revenue since 2019. The platform successfully launched Android and iOS applications, attracting over 5,000 active monthly users and distributing over $2.4 million to its traders in the last four years; the platform is committed to rewarding its community members. Xtrades has reached these milestones as a completely bootstrapped company, operating without external investors or outside ownership, allowing a focused and independent approach to its operations and development. Xtrades also released the first version of CryptoTraders, a platform that’s fully dedicated to cryptocurrency futures traders. That has proved popular with users, and some Xtrades members dedicate their time to both platforms. Invest in Xtrades The Future for Xtrades Xtrades aims to enhance the trading experience through comprehensive onboarding processes and continuous platform development. The focus is on aiding users in finding trading opportunities and improving their trading skills with education to help them achieve financial independence. Xtrades plans to introduce more elements of gamification to its platform. This strategy is intended to encourage user engagement and skill development, with the ongoing potential for users to monetize their expertise through the platform. Xtrades grew as a response to the growing complexities and challenges within the digital financial markets, with the aim of also making trading more engaging. By offering solutions utilizing accuracy, user engagement and education, Xtrades believes it improves what would otherwise be a lonely, harrowing trading experience for its users. As it continues to develop, the platform will adapt and evolve in line with the needs of the digital trading community.

Equity Armor Investments

By Austin DeNoce, Benzinga Equity Armor Investments is a wealth management and advisory firm that has positioned itself at the center of the complex volatility trading market. Volatility in trading is the measure of how much a stock or asset has changed in value over a set period of time, where price action is the measure of volatility. To some, the topic of volatility may be a non-starter, but Equity Armor offers a different approach to wealth management with its niche expertise in the pulse-pounding world of volatility futures and options trading.

Meanwhile, Chief Trading Officer Joe Tigay has carved out his niche through a hands-on journey from clerk to member trader at the CBOE. His expertise spans across making markets in VIX options to trading equities as a remote market maker, showcasing his adaptability and strategic insight in the world's largest open outcry trading pit. Together, this triumvirate of visionaries collaborated on a VIX hedge fund and now spearhead Equity Armor, a firm that thrives on navigating the complexities of volatility futures. Their world-class expertise uniquely positions them in the high-stakes game of trading long volatility through futures. What Sets Equity Armor Apart? The key to Equity Armor’s success is its innovative trading strategy, which is a blend of sophisticated financial instruments and analytics aimed at maximizing returns while maintaining a strategic balance of risk. The firm excels in leveraging volatility futures to its advantage, capitalizing on the market's ebb and flow to enhance portfolio performance, even during market drawdowns. Through a combination of stocks and volatility futures, Equity Armor thoughtfully navigates the market's shifts, aiming to profit from the rise and fall induced by volatility. The firm’s strategy is a testament to its goal of minimizing risk and drawdowns, demonstrating a proactive stance in safeguarding investments against market downturns. The firm's daily rebalancing acts as a safeguard against the pitfalls of holding volatility contracts for too long, ensuring its strategy remains focused on delivering conservative yet effective returns. Its deep market knowledge and protective trading strategies are designed to shield and grow investments, reflecting its commitment to client success.

Designed to be powerful and quick, the kiosk can be used for a variety of solutions through the store for wayfinding, self-ordering, POS, or advertising and displaying dynamic content – pertinent to giving the customer all information needed to enhance their buying experience. “Our newest retail and restaurant solutions are built to empower businesses to create interactive experiences that exceed consumer expectations,” said James (Jay) Burdette, senior director at Panasonic Connect North America. “Businesses need to balance sleek performance with rugged reliability – and that’s where the JS988 and JS9900 come in. Amidst ongoing staffing challenges and the strong desire for better digital experiences, our new kiosks and POS terminals make the in-store experience more efficient for both employees and patrons – and help bring popular establishments into the digital future.” For more information about the JS988 POS Terminals and the JS9900 Kiosk Series, visit Panasonic Connect at MURTEC or visit their website: https://na.panasonic.com/us/industries/food-service-technology About Panasonic Connect North America Established on April 1, 2022 as part of the Panasonic Group’s switch to an operating company system, Panasonic Connect North America is a B2B company offering device hardware, software and professional services to provide value to customers across the public sector, federal government, education, immersive entertainment, food services and manufacturing industries.
