John Ye, Esq. Explores the Significance of Choosing the Optimal Insurance Plan to Safeguard You and Your Loved Ones

KISS PR Brand Story

John Ye, Esq., a renowned car accident injury lawyer with extensive insurance claims expertise, recently discussed the importance of selecting the right insurance plan to protect yourself and your family. “Insurance is an essential part of life,” said Ye. “It’s important to understand the different types of insurance and how they can benefit you.” Ye has been helping individuals and families select the right insurance plan for over 20 years. He believes that the right insurance plan can provide peace of mind and financial security. “It’s important to understand the different types of insurance and how they can benefit you, especially when you need to file a claim” said John Ye. “For example, life insurance can provide financial security for your family in the event of serious injury or even your death. Health insurance can help cover the costs of medical care. And auto insurance can help protect you from financial losses due to a serious accident.” John Ye also discussed the importance of understanding the different types of coverage available. He believes that it’s important to understand the different types of coverage and how they can help protect you. “It’s important to understand the different types of coverage and how they can help protect you,” said Ye. “For example, liability coverage can help protect you from financial losses due to an accident. Property damage coverage can help cover the costs of repairing or replacing damaged property. And medical payments coverage can help cover the costs of medical care.” Ye believes that it’s important to select the right insurance plan for your needs. He recommends that individuals and families take the time to research and compare different plans to find the one that best meets their needs. John Ye, Esq. is a renowned insurance expert who has been helping individuals and families select the right insurance plan for over 20 years. He believes that the right insurance plan can provide peace of mind and financial security. He recommends that individuals and families take the time to research and compare different plans to find the one that best meets their needs Being uninsured is not only risky but also illegal in California. The state requires all drivers to have minimum liability insurance coverage, which includes bodily injury and property damage coverage. However, many people still choose to ignore this requirement or opt for the bare minimum coverage because it is the cheapest option. This can have serious consequences if you are involved in a car accident. If you are underinsured and get into an accident, it means that your insurance coverage may not be enough to cover all the expenses related to the accident. This could leave you personally liable for any additional costs, which can quickly add up and put you in a difficult financial situation. In California, the minimum liability insurance coverage is $15,000 for injury or death to one person, $30,000 for injury or death to multiple people, and $5,000 for property damage. These amounts may seem sufficient at first glance, but in reality, they are often not enough to cover all the costs associated with a car accident. For example, if you are at fault in an accident and the other party suffers serious injuries that require extensive medical treatment, your insurance may only cover a fraction of the costs. This means that you could be held personally responsible for the remaining expenses, which can easily exceed the minimum coverage limits. Furthermore, being underinsured can also have legal consequences. If you are unable to pay for the damages you caused in an accident, the other party may take legal action against you. This can result in a lawsuit and potentially lead to wage garnishment or even bankruptcy. Another major downfall of being underinsured is that it can affect your ability to seek compensation if you are injured in an accident caused by another driver. In California, drivers who are found to be at fault in an accident are responsible for covering the damages and injuries of the other party. However, if you are underinsured, you may not have enough coverage to fully compensate for your injuries and suffering. Media Contact: A.

The Approach to Front End Development is the Key to Companies’ UX Success, Says Torii Studio Founder Cristobal Chao

Prodigy Press Wire

In today’s hypercompetitive and digital-dominated world, poor user experience (UX) can be a death sentence for a digital product. People are used to good UX, with many of the most widely used mobile applications and websites have made sure to invest in this aspect, contributing greatly to their popularity. People know instinctively when they encounter a broken user experience and are extremely likely to stop using the digital product in question. Torii Studio, a New York-based digital development, and UX agency, believes that, to provide a genuinely good user experience, the proper front-end implementation of a product must be impeccable. The front-end refers to the user-facing side of a digital product, such as a website or app’s layout, its menus, and other visual elements. Most UX topics deal with the user experience, but functionality, which refers to the interactivity with the server and behind-the-scenes elements that make a product tick, is also important. A faulty functional front-end can cause reliability issues and other bugs that can show up and ruin an otherwise good UX. Torii Studio company logo Cristobal Chao, Torii Studio’s founder, began his career as a software engineer after finishing his degree in computer science in Madrid. Working for one of the largest enterprise software companies in the world, he noticed that most applications used old and outdated user interfaces, causing frustration among clients. This sparked his interest in UX, and he began learning and experimenting in the field, with even minor improvements resulting in better satisfaction from clients. Chao was among the 10 graduates from Spain who were chosen to go to the US for a half-year internship, and he later joined an innovation lab in the Silicon Valley area. There, he further explored front-end development, with the innovation lab working with several startups to launch their digital capabilities. Eventually, part of the innovation lab was acquired by Google, which, at the time, was also redesigning its products’ UX. Chao was the only software engineer picked up and became part of an embedded team that was in charge of innovating using front-end and design principles. “It was a great journey, and I had the opportunity to learn from the best, in both the design and engineering aspects. It was also very challenging, as I knew I was working among extremely talented designers and engineers,” Chao said. “Working in such a large organization, I also learned the value of collaboration. This includes creating well-structured code that allows a new person to join the project and immediately know what to do. Poorly structured code, also known as spaghetti code, is very confusing to someone who hasn’t worked on it from the start, making it hard to scale the product. Similar to a domino effect, if the product gets affected, the user is affected as well as the business itself.” After six and a half years, Chao decided that it was time for him to create his own company and contribute to the startup world by helping them translate their ideas into successful products. Torii Studio is named after the torii, a traditional Japanese gate often found at the entrances of Shinto shrines, symbolically marking the transition from the mundane to the sacred. According to Chao, in the context of his company, this symbolizes transforming companies through exceptional UX, combining first-rate technical expertise with a human-centered approach to create innovative products that people love. Chao adds that this transformation applies not only to the client but also to Torii Studio’s team members, who approach each project with a learning mindset, seeking to continuously improve. Since 2019, Torii Studio has helped both large companies and startups build better, faster, and more creatively. To date, over five different companies have been able to go to the next level, being able to secure their next round of funding and one even becoming a unicorn. One such project is with a neuroscience-based mental wellness platform, which had a huge disconnect between the design (front end) and development (back end) teams’ original intentions and the final product. This resulted in low user engagement, quality and consistency issues, and low ratings of 2.5 on the App Store and 2.1 on the Play Store. Torii Studio helped break down organizational silos by rearranging the company’s design and development teams to work side-by-side instead of in isolation. It also helped create a design system and component library, providing a common ground for both designers and developers. The platform now has an updated look and feel with significant improvements in performance and UI/UX design. After implementing the project, the client saw a 300% increase in daily active users and vastly improved ratings of 4.0 in the App Store and 4.3 in the Play Store. “Here we see the importance of having a unified vision and better collaboration between the front end and the back end in the success of a digital product,” Chao says. “UX encompasses both aspects, and our work bridges the gaps between design and engineering, tailoring our clients’ products to their users’ needs. To help us learn those needs, we offer code audits for prospective clients. We work with them in assessing the state of their codebase, identify which areas need improvements, and obtain a roadmap on how to best optimize their systems and processes.” Media contact: Name: Cristobal Chao Email: hello@torii.co Release ID: 840980

TAX POLICY LEADERS PUSH FOR NEW MARKETS TAX CREDIT PERMANENCE

New Markets Tax Credit Coalition

Tax policy trends and community economic development were the focus at the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) Coalition annual NMTC Conference, held this week. The event featured three prominent members of Congress, CDFI Fund Acting Director Marcia Sigal and Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Economic Development, US Treasury Department Noel Poyo, as keynote speakers. Conference participants noted the need to pass legislation calling for the NMTC’s permanence as a key tax policy. Congressional keynote speakers included longtime champions of the NMTC, including Ranking Member on the House Ways and Means Committee Rep. Richard Neal (D-MA), Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY), lead sponsor of the H.R. 2539, the New Markets Tax Credit Extension Act of 2023 and one of the lead sponsors of the Senate companion bill, S. 234, Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT). Panelists included congressional staff, NMTC board members and leadership, investors and economic development leaders, Treasury Department officials, and legal experts. Panels held discussions on community economic development, the pending permanent extension of the Treasury Department program, legislative hurdles, and the latest insights from the Treasury Department. During this Congress, both the Senate and House introduced bills (S. 234 and H.R. 2539) with bipartisan support to make the NMTC extension permanent. Establishing permanence will provide certainty in delivering resources to low-income and marginalized communities, creating jobs, increasing economic opportunity, and improving lives at a time when underserved communities face significant challenges. “I’m a passionate advocate,” said Sen. Daines, who co-lead the introduction of the bill backing NMTC permanence in the U.S. Senate. “The New Markets Tax Credit is a really important part of what we do in Montana, as it is around the country. I’m passionate about making it permanent.” “We’re going to push for permanence,” said Rep. Tenney, lead sponsor of the bill in the U.S. House of Representatives, noting the NMTC had helped bring more than 400 well-paying jobs to her district. “It’s something we’re going to fight for.” “The New Markets program plays a significant role in financing many vital businesses and community projects that are overlooked by traditional lending markets,” said Rep. Neal. “It helps to breathe new life into our neglected and underserved low-income communities. We’ve leveraged these funds to preserve and create jobs, and to build successful businesses. In my district alone, there are 27 New Markets projects. The amount of good that these projects have done for the community cannot be understated: hundreds of millions of dollars in investment and thousands of jobs. “One of my proudest accomplishments as Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee was when I was able to secure a five-year extension of the program in 2020. Our work is not done, though: we need to make the New Markets Tax Credit permanent,” added Rep. Neal. In December 2020, Congress enacted a 5-year, $25 billion NMTC extension through 2025, the largest in the program’s history. Throughout its 20-year history, the NMTC has delivered more than $130 billion to rural and urban communities outside the economic mainstream, which has led to more than 8,000 businesses and projects and over one million jobs. “With more than two decades of bipartisan successes under our belt, we’re continuing our push to increase funds and to make the NMTC permanent,” said Bob Rapoza, NMTC Coalition spokesperson. “At a time when the economic frailty of our underserved communities has never been more apparent, we see a tremendous opportunity for our coalition to help create jobs, spread opportunity, and put America back on a solid financial footing, and we implore Congress to make it happen.” ABOUT THE NEW MARKETS TAX CREDIT The New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) was enacted in 2000 to stimulate private investment and economic growth in low-income urban neighborhoods and rural communities that lack access to the patient capital needed to support and grow businesses, create jobs, and sustain healthy local economies. Since its inception, the NMTC has generated more than one million jobs. Today, due to the NMTC, more than $130 billion, which has financed over 8,000 projects and businesses, is hard at work in underserved communities in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

PathAI Introduces TumorDetect, an AI Solution to Automate Tumor Assessment and Case Prioritization for Anatomic Pathology Laboratories

PathAI

PathAI, a global leader in AI-powered pathology, today announced TumorDetect on AISight™, PathAI’s digital pathology image management system. TumorDetect is an AI-powered feature of AISight which automates the assessment and quantification of tumor across diverse tissue types. This product transforms pathology workflows by enabling case prioritization based on tumor content, helping pathologists to expedite case review, accelerate ordering of additional tests, and improving overall case turnaround time. As cancer incidence and corresponding cancer biopsy volumes continue to rise year-over-year, TumorDetect is designed to ensure that pathologists’ focus is guided to cases with highest likelihood of cancer with the goal of more rapid confirmation of tumor presence (for example, through downstream IHC assessment). In addition to identifying cases and slides likely to contain tumor, the product generates overlay visualizations and slide-level quantifications to facilitate pathologist review. PathAI will be expanding this pilot across its network of 50+ laboratory and early access partners across diverse tumor types globally. "Pathologists are facing increasing demands for faster case turnaround time, against a backdrop of increasing workload. TumorDetect is a game-changer in the field of pathology, empowering pathologists to efficiently prioritize cases based on tumor content," said Andy Beck, MD, PhD, Cofounder & CEO, PathAI. "Our AI-powered solution is designed to expedite the case review process but also facilitates faster turnaround times for labs." “AI-enabled assist tools such as TumorDetect can help pathologists perform important daily tasks – tumor detection and cellularity assessment, which are crucial for biomarker testing and precision medicine,” said Marilyn Bui, MD, PhD, Senior Member in the Departments of Pathology and Machine Learning at Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute. “I am excited about the potential for AI-assisted tumor assessment to augment pathologists’ effectiveness in delivering quality results and streamlining pathology workflows.” TumorDetect’s assessment and prioritization criteria are customizable, allowing pathologists to set personalized tumor content thresholds in line with their unique preferences and requirements. In addition to tumor cell quantification, TumorDetect also generates overlay visualizations highlighting hotspots of possible tumor on whole slide images (WSI). TumorDetect was developed on a dataset comprised of over 100,000 WSIs with over 6 million hand-drawn annotations from expert board-certified subspecialist pathologists, capturing the diversity of ways in which cancers appear in pathology WSIs. This feature, delivered through AISight, significantly aids pathologists during hotspot reviews, allowing for a more focused and targeted analysis of potentially cancerous regions. This announcement follows the launch of several AI algorithm products including AIM-PD-L1™ and AIM-HER2™ for reproducible biomarker and disease severity assessment, ArtifactDetect™ for automated quality control, and AIM-TumorCellularity™ (AIM-TC) for whole-slide level assessment of tumor cellularity. PathAI’s comprehensive suite of eight AI product offerings is designed to power pathologist decision making while optimizing laboratory efficiency. To learn more about AISight, PathAI’s image management system, or TumorDetect and its capabilities, please contact digitaldx@pathai.com About PathAI PathAI is the only AI-focused technology company to provide comprehensive precision pathology solutions from wet lab services to algorithm deployment for clinical trials and laboratory use. Rigorously trained and validated with data from more than 15 million annotations, its AI-powered models can be leveraged to optimize the analysis of pathology samples to improve efficiency and accuracy of pathology interpretation, as well as to better gauge therapeutic efficacy and accelerate drug development for complex diseases.
