Looplabs’ original creator and Founder Craig Swann, has partnered with Music Executive, Bigram Zayas, and Technologist Timothy Braun as Founding Partners in bringing Looplabs to the world. Joining them are Grammy®-winning music producer Sergio George as Latin Ambassador and Music Advisor; MTV Co-founder Les Garland as Media Strategist and music technology veteran Jon Diamond as Advisor to the Company.

“Everyone is now a creator,” says Swann, “whether it’s blogs, Twitter, YouTube or Instagram. Cloud-based computing, broadband connectivity and social networks have democratized the production and distribution of entire industries. We are witnessing a global transformation of consumers into creators that is generating an explosion of User Generated Content of the written word, photos and videos. Music creation, however, has been largely left behind. Until now.”

Designed for this new generation of creators, Looplabs’ intuitive interface automatically snaps more than 25,000 freely available royalty-free sounds into the same tempo and musical key, removing the complexities of musical theory and allowing anyone with internet access to easily create music for their YouTube, Instagram or Vine videos, drop in their next DJ set, remix artists, write songs and record vocals or simply have fun with their friends.

Les Garland says, “More people today than ever before in history are making music, more people than ever before in history are listening and sharing music. There are still unwired spots on this planet that are getting wired and this visionary concept is viral in nature. That a single platform allows anyone the chance to create, collaborate and share music is a new way of discovering the world, and that is extremely powerful, and that is Looplabs.”

By leveraging open web technologies and APIs such as HTML5, Web Audio and WebRTC; Looplabs allows for a “Google-Docs for music” like experience of remote co-creation and collaboration supporting messaging, audio and video chat and drag-n-drop sharing of musical ideas. More than a free, powerfully simple, browser-based music studio, Looplabs is a social music platform that connects people and music, fosters collaboration, enables education and empowers people of all ages to make music.

For Sergio George “The significance is Looplabs eliminating our current barriers to making music including equipment, knowledge and access and creating a space where very little stands in the way of imagination, intention, and creation.”

Looplabs is headquartered in the legendary Music Building in New York City.

Announcements of forthcoming projects and partnerships will follow.

Honda's Motorcycle and Automobile Engineering Prowess Combine in the Honda Project 2&4 Shown at the Los Angeles Auto Show

– Lightweight four-wheel performance chassis and body inspired by Honda’s early Formula One race car

– Motorcycle MotoGP competition 999 cc V-4 engine revs to 14,000 rpm 

– Combination provides a supercar-like power-to-weight ratio of 4.2 lbs./hp

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Showcasing the racing spirit of Honda and its unique place in the world of high-performance, high-tech mobility, the Honda Project 2&4 made its North American debut today at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show. The Honda 2&4 represents collaboration between Honda’s motorcycle and automobile divisions on a new performance vehicle concept, combining the open and engaging feel of a motorcycle and the dynamic handling capabilities of an automobile.

Honda's Motorcycle and Automobile Engineering Prowess Combine in the Honda Project 2&4 Shown at the Los Angeles Auto Show

Embodying the concept of creative craftsmanship, Honda Project 2&4 is the winner of the 2015 Honda Global Design Project and celebrates the company’s position as the world’s leading engine manufacturer, providing 28 million engines to people each year across its automotive, powersports, power equipment, marine and aerospace product lines. An example of the continuous effort to create an ever-more immersive driving experience, Honda Project 2&4 brings together the brand’s unique capabilities in two- and four-wheel mobility.

The Honda Project 2&4 is powered by the RC213V competition motorcycle engine, a 999 cc V-4 unit, originally developed for the world-class MotoGP motorcycle racing series and specially tuned for use on public roads. The engine expresses Honda’s global slogan “The Power of Dreams” representing inspiring innovation and originality. With a 14,000 rpm red line, the powerplant is mated to a six-speed dual clutch transmission (DCT) and delivers peak power of 212 horsepower at 13,000 rpm, and peak torque of 87 lb-ft. at 10,500 rpm.

Drawing upon Honda’s racing heritage, the body design and engine position were inspired by the legendary Honda RA272 Formula One racecar of 1965. With minimal bodywork and an open cockpit, the Honda Project 2&4 shows off its core frame and functional components, much like a motorcycle, and is similarly compact. The project vehicle weighs just 405 kg (892.9 lbs.) with an overall length of 3,040 mm (119.7 inches), a width of 1,820 mm (71.7 inches) and height of 995 mm (39.2 inches). These minimalist dimensions and low weight accentuate the power of the mid-mounted engine that, together with the low center of gravity, ensures an exceptionally high level of responsiveness.

The exhilarating feeling created from the open cockpit is significantly enhanced by the low-mounted driver’s seat. The floating seat design places the driver as close to the action as possible, evoking the freedom of a bike and completing the immersion provided by Honda Project 2&4’s extreme performance and unique engineering.

The Honda Global Design Project is a global design competition among the Honda’s global design studios. The winning Honda Project 2&4 is the result of the company’s continuous effort to create a more exciting user experience and represents its drive to inspire and reward creative thinking. The concept was designed through collaboration between Honda’s motorcycle and automobile design centers in Japan.

New Publication Featuring GlycoMark® Test Highlights Association of Hyperglycemic Excursions With Cardiovascular Outcomes And Mortality

0

NEW YORK, Nov. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — In a new study published by the medical journal Diabetes involving more than 11,000 subjects, the GlycoMark® test was used to help define links between hyperglycemic excursions and increased incidence of cardiovascular disease and death1.

The recently published study involved analysis from the Atherosclerosis Risk In Communities (ARIC) Study. The ARIC Study is a community-based prospective cohort of over 15,000 participants sampled from four U.S. communities. The study was initiated in 1987 and is ongoing, with participants returning for routine follow-up visits. GlycoMark provided study support through the donation of assays to measure 1,5-AG.

“The results from this important study underscore the importance of identifying and controlling hyperglycemic excursions, which is consistent with the goal of diabetes treatment,” said Larry Thomas, President of GlycoMark, Inc. “To control hyperglycemic excursions, one must first identify them. The GlycoMark test is an important but underutilized tool to help physicians detect hyperglycemic excursions that are not reflected by traditional markers of glycemic control such as HbA1c. Accordingly, we view the GlycoMark test as providing more information to help optimize the management of diabetes.”

The article reports that almost half (49%) of study subjects with diabetes had 1,5-AG levels less than 6 mcg/mL, consistent with recent high glucose peaks averaging more than 200 mg/dL, and only 38% had 1,5-AG levels above 10 mcg/mL, widely considered to be normal levels reflecting the absence of significant, recent hyperglycemia.

Further, and consistent with previous studies associating hyperglycemic excursions with microvascular complications of diabetes, such as retinopathy and nephropathy2, the study demonstrated an association between hyperglycemic excursions and the occurrence of coronary heart disease, ischemic stroke, heart failure, and all-cause mortality. Importantly, though attenuated, the association between hyperglycemic excursions and adverse outcomes remained significant even after adjustment for the traditional markers of glycemic control, HbA1c and fasting glucose.

The GlycoMark test is not intended to detect any specific disease, including coronary heart disease, ischemic stroke, heart failure, nor is intended to predict death. It is cleared by the FDA to provide quantitative measurement of 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG) in serum or plasma. The GlycoMark test is for professional use, and is indicated for the intermediate term monitoring of glycemic control in people with diabetes. The GlycoMark test is a non-fasting laboratory test ordered and used by physicians for the management of patients with diabetes.

Alcohol Justice And US Alcohol Policy Alliance Urge DC Metro Leaders To Keep Transit System Alcohol-Ad Free

0

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — California-based Alcohol Justice, and North Carolina-based US Alcohol Policy Alliance, are asking the Board of Directors of the Washington Metro Area Transit Authority (WMATA) to keep placing positive public health & safety benefits over the questionable revenue gains that might be derived from allowing alcohol ads on the DC Metro.

Logo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110727/DC41105LOGO

“There is clear and compelling evidence that alcohol advertising on municipal property encourages youth alcohol consumption, which leads to harm,” stated Diane Riibe, Chair, US Alcohol Policy Alliance. “According to the World Health Organization’s 2014 Global Status Report, the more alcohol ads kids see, the more likely they are to drink, to start drinking at an earlier age, and to drink more.”

Excessive alcohol consumption causes an estimated $249 billion in economic harm annually in the United States with $100 billion in direct cost to federal, state, and local governments. According to a recent CDC report, Washington, DC had the highest cost per person of alcohol-related harm at $1526, compared to an $807 national average.

“Alcohol ads on transit vehicles or other public property is unacceptable,” said Bruce Lee Livingston, Executive Director / CEO at Alcohol Justice. “Instead, transit agencies should demand that sign brokers bring in advertising that does not pose documented threats to the safety of children. Municipalities should protect youth by refusing to advertise harmful products such as alcohol.”

WMATA provides free transportation to thousands of DC public and charter school students through their Kids Ride Free on Rail program. Selling alcohol advertising on the Metro system is effectively offering up youth as a captive audience to alcohol marketers.

Alcohol Justice’s 2013 national report titled: These Bus Ads Don’t Stop for Children: Alcohol Advertising on Public Transit, states that “it makes no sense for public transit agencies or cities to allow alcohol advertising that recoups less than 1% of their operating revenues while governments in the U.S. bear the burden of over $90 billion in annual costs from alcohol-related harm. Less than 1% of total operating revenue is just not worth all of the added risk of youth exposure to ads and alcohol-related public costs.”

Supporters of continuing the DC Metro alcohol ad ban are encouraged to TAKE ACTION HERE: to tell the WMATA Board to “Keep the Ban.” The Board will meet this Thursday, November 19, 2015, to vote on the issue. All comments submitted to the board for review on this issue must be received no later than noon EST on Wednesday, November 18, 2015.
