Oakland Pharmacy Inc. Partners With Comcast Business to Improve Network Management, Security and Speeds

Comcast California

Comcast Business today announced that it is providing Oakland Pharmacy Inc. – a business of community pharmacies and clinic pharmacies in Oakland, California region – with SD-WAN on the ActiveCore SM SDN Platform, Ethernet Dedicated Internet (EDI) connections for its sites as well as Business VoiceEdge® services and a 4G LTE backup connection. The combination of solutions is helping the local healthcare business improve operating procedures for its employees from the pharmacy counter to the IT desk – ultimately helping to provide elevated services for its customers. For more than 35 years, Oakland Pharmacy Inc. has served residents in Alameda County, working diligently to improve the healthcare opportunities within its communities, in particular for underserved populations – like the Asian Pacific Islander community, children incarcerated in the Juvenile Justice system, people experiencing homelessness and mental health patients – who need special healthcare assistance. Staff across the company’s seven locations are often bilingual, speaking Spanish, Cantonese, Vietnamese or Mandarin to better connect with the different cultural backgrounds that the locations serve. As medical records continue to shift to the cloud, it has become increasingly important for the pharmacy industry to have fast, reliable and secure network connections capable of quickly pulling and sending patient information. “I am very happy with the quality of service we’ve received,” said Timothy Tam, IT specialist for Oakland Pharmacy Inc. “Now our employees can more rapidly adjudicate claims, e-fax and process new prescriptions without worrying about slow network speeds.” In addition to the fast and reliable EDI connections, SD-WAN on the ActiveCore SM SDN Platform helps to configure the business’ network, as well as proactively monitor for, and troubleshoot, connectivity issues across Oakland Pharmacy Inc.’s various locations. Meanwhile, the company’s 4G LTE backup connection is helping to build network redundancy while its Business VoiceEdge® solution is providing great call quality plus a web portal to help manage calls and voicemails. “Our local pharmacies are truly the bastions of our communities. They keep us healthy, whether it’s providing vaccines, medications or other consultation on healthcare best practices,” said Kristeen Cominiello, vice president of Comcast Business in California. “Comcast Business recognizes that connectivity is the key to ensuring that these services continue to reach community members in need, and is proud to offer its support to Oakland Pharmacy Inc.” About Comcast Business Comcast Business offers a suite of Connectivity, Communications, Networking, Cybersecurity, Wireless, and Managed Solutions to help organizations of different sizes prepare for what’s next.

Minuteman Press Franchise Owner Ken Tays Receives Veteran Business Award from NJ State Veterans Chamber of Commerce and The American Legion

Minuteman Press International Inc

US Army Veteran Ken Tays, who owns the Minuteman Press franchise in Newark located at 20 Clinton St., was recognized with the award for Veteran Business under $3 Million by the NJ State Veterans Chamber of Commerce (NJSVCC) and The American Legion at the Disabled Veteran and Veteran Business Summit. The event was held on May 10 th, 2022 at Middlesex College in Edison. The Summit connected over 100 Veteran-owned businesses with private companies and state agencies to help facilitate partnerships on upcoming projects. Ken says, “It was a real honor to attend the Summit, connect with so many other Veterans and supporters of Veterans, and receive such a prestigious award from the New Jersey State Veterans Chamber and The American Legion. My business, Minuteman Press in Newark, is a small, Veteran-owned franchise, and an event like this is really helpful and inspiring to me.” Ken served in the US Army for 11 years and then earned his degree in financial services. Ken shares, “I worked as a Federal Bank Regulator for 12 years and then entered the private sector working for companies like PwC and Citibank. I decided to research franchise opportunities because I wanted to be my own boss.” In 2019, Ken bought Minuteman Press in Newark. He took over the successful business from Holly Kaplansky, who retired after owning and operating Minuteman Press in Newark for 15 years. Ken says, “At its core, Minuteman Press International is a family-owned business. I went out to Long Island and CEO Bob Titus talked to me for an hour and a half. I was looking for a printing franchise that had that family-like atmosphere and wasn’t so corporate. The other franchises I looked into just didn’t have that same feel to them where I felt comfortable like I did with Minuteman Press.” As for why Minuteman Press is the right fit for Veterans, Ken shares, “I feel like this is my business and yet Minuteman Press provides me with that security blanket of local support and guidance. I have no printing experience and the training and ongoing assistance from Jim Galasso and the local field staff here in Newark really helps me. I know I can contact anyone in the company and they will respond and be there without breathing down my neck all the time.” When asked about the rewards of owning his own business, Ken’s first inclination is to say, “Work life balance. That is something I feel like I have even though I am working hard and always on. I love the challenge of running my own business and being responsible for everything. I spent a lot of time in corporate America making money for other people and I wanted to do this. There are ups and downs but it’s on my time.” Ken’s advice for others who are looking into business ownership or franchising is, “I would say that I looked at a lot of businesses. Find something that is a good fit for you, and find a franchisor that has what you’re looking for. I spent several months doing my due diligence, and once you make that decision, you have to be committed.” For more information on Ken Tays’ Veteran-owned Minuteman Press business in Newark, NJ, visit https://www.mmpnewark.com.

Nearly All Americans Now View Video Game Play as Beneficial Following COVID-19 Lockdowns

The Entertainment Software Association

The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) today released the findings of its 2022 Essential Facts About the Video Game Industry report. The report shows that players are of all ages and backgrounds and illustrates how the industry continues to impact people, culture and the economy – with 97% of all Americans now seeing the benefits of video games. “Last year, we saw the pandemic accelerate the growth of gameplay across the country, as people of all ages turned to video games – whether to relax, maintain community, exercise or learn something new,” President and CEO of the ESA Stanley Pierre-Louis said. “This year’s report demonstrates the impact video games continue to have – supporting wellness and mental health, strengthening relationships, providing community, facilitating skills development and introducing people to new places, cultures and ideas.” Following a record-breaking number of people playing video games in 2021, the new Essential Facts report shows that as the country emerges from the pandemic, people remain highly engaged with and inspired by video games. According to the 2022 report, more than 65% of Americans play video games – which translates to more than 215.5 million players from all walks of life – and gameplay time continues to rise among players, with average weekly time at 13 hours, up 7% from 2021. There was also an uptick in the proportion of players who view games as beneficial to skills development, mental health and community building: 89% of players say video games provide stress relief, while 88% say video games help improve cognitive skills. 88% percent of players agree that video games bring different types of people together, while 83% say games introduce people to new friends and relationships, a 5 percentage point increase from 2021. 61% of players say 89% of all Americans view video games as useful for building skills, with problem-solving as the leading skill (82%). Other skills saw increases, including conflict resolution at 63% (up 8 percentage points from 2021) and leadership skills at 61% (up 7 percentage points from 2021). Other notable results include: 69% of households have at least one video game player. Nearly one third of adult video game players are parents. Smartphones are the most common device for playing games – 70% of players use their phones for play, while 18% solely use their phones. Casual genres, such as matching, brain puzzles, party, music and dance, and exercise games, continue to be the most played. The ESA’s 2022 consumer survey was conducted using online methodology. A 15-minute questionnaire was completed by a representative sample of 4,011 US consumers ages 18 and older in February 2022 (margin of error +/- 2%). Video game players who play at least one hour a week are a subset of this total, representing 2,548 of respondents. The survey defines video games as games that may be played on a console, personal computer, mobile device, VR device, etc. These games could include computer and console video games, social games, mobile augmented reality games, virtual reality games and “edutainment” games.

Three High School Seniors Begin a Career with MI Windows and Doors

MI Windows and Doors

Looking to solidify its position as an industry leader window manufacturer of employer of choice, MI Windows and Doors hired three top prospects at its signing day on May 26. Upper Dauphin Area High School seniors Hunter Zerby, Cody Craybill, and Haiden Urich all signed a “certificate of achievement” recognizing their decision to accept full-time positions at MI’s manufacturing facility in Gratz, Pa. The trio, who began working full-time last week, went through high school graduation ceremonies the day after the signing. The three new team members have all been working part-time with the company through Upper Dauphin’s Diversified Occupations/Co-op program, in which students spend part of their school day at area jobsites. Upper Dauphin’s cooperative education coordinator and teacher Amy Gehring administers the program. “The key to our success is we’ve partnered with quality employers like MI,” she said. “We want our students to be successful and have options after high school. Cody, Hunter, and Haiden already have job experience. They’ve built qualities and attributes that employers value, and they’re already ahead of the game.” Urich is an assembler on the 4300 Series line, while Craybill and Zerby both work on the 910 sliding-glass door line. Zerby is following in the footsteps of his father Dan, a long-time MI team member. “He’s been with the company 30-some years,” Zerby said of his father. “I have a lot of family and friends who work here.” Unlike Zerby, Craybill didn’t have family at MI Windows and doors, but, he was eager to learn and happy to be with the company. “I came here a month into the school year, and it seemed like a job I wanted to continue with,” Craybill said. “I’m excited to start my career path here.” Upper Dauphin superintendent Jared Shade attended the signing ceremony. An Upper Dauphin graduate himself, he’s proud of what his students have accomplished through the co-op program. “For too long, there’s been a closed door between industry and schools,” Shade said. “I like partnering with local employers to open those doors.” Learn more about career opportunities at: miwindows.com/careers ABOUT MITER BRANDS MITER Brands™ is a residential window and door manufacturer that produces a leading portfolio of window and door brands for the new construction and replacement segments.
