Singapore, Singapore Feb 2, 2023 (Issuewire.com) – Adpost Introduces Web3 Escrow And Online Swap Marketplace –

The Adpost Classified Ads and Swap Marketplace have opened the doors to a revolutionary new means for trading, buying, and selling items online. The first radical change is the introduction of Tether (USDT) on the Polygon blockchain. The Tether (USDT) may be used on the free classified ad portion of the website as an alternative to buying and selling with cash.

An additional feature has also been included to provide a more safe and more secure online shopping experience for online Buyers and Sellers. Adpost has implemented a new Adpost Web3 Escrow Service to protect the tokens (Tether USDT) until such a time as the product has been shipped by the Seller and received by the Buyer. Only when the transaction is successful and complete will the Tether USDT will be released to the Seller.

There have been some major challenges to the Web3 market space in recent times. Despite the many challenges, the technologies that were introduced as Web3 solutions continue to lead the digital transformation of not only the workplace, but society as a whole. The introduction of Web3 solutions on the Adpost free classifieds website and open Swap Marketplace online is an extension of the ongoing digital transformation of society.

The use of the Polygon Blockchain is an important factor to consider. The Polygon Blockchain is a tier-2 blockchain and is fully integrated with Ethereum. The ongoing work at Ethereum focuses not only on more safe and more secure online transactions, but also places a strong emphasis on environmental concerns and reducing the carbon footprint of online transactions.

The introduction of these features by Adpost marks the first and the largest blockchain on any current Swap Marketplace online to date. Adpost community members will also benefit directly from the best of both worlds in terms of old and new technologies for E-Commerce solutions.

Adpost was created more than twenty years ago as a revolutionary Web2 free classified ad website. Over the course of its lifespan, it has been able to generate more than two billion page views. This allows online sellers to place their products and services in front of a large audience.

The introduction of the Tether (USDT) option will only serve to create an even larger audience as more tech-savvy people recognize the need to be able to exchange goods and services online using Cryptocurrencies and other decentralized solutions. Despite the advanced nature of these new features, they have been implemented in such a manner so as not to disrupt the ongoing transactions by more traditional and less technically capable users of the free online ads website.

This ability for even the most inexperienced users to successfully engage in exchanges and swaps using the Tether USDT should also increase the ability of the younger generations to reach out to a larger audience. With a twenty-year history and more than three million current users, the Adpost free classified ads site and online Swap Marketplace provides the best of both world to its community members.

Importance of direct communications in E-Commerce transactions is an important aspect of buying and selling online. Many sites that charge for posting ads online do not allow their community members to directly communicate with one another. This is often because those online marketplaces would put their income at risk by allowing their community members to chat with one another.

The Adpost classified ads website and online Swap marketplace continue to offer their community members the ability to post free ads online, no matter how they wish to be paid or exchange their products and services. Every Ad posted in the Swap Marketplace allows Buyers to reply directly to the individual or business that posted the ads.

The ability of the Buyer and the Seller to communicate directly allows the Adpost community members to work together in order to ensure every aspect of their online transactions is acceptable and in line with the needs and desires of the parties. The ability to communicate directly also allows for the Buyer and Seller to ensure that any of the products, and in some instances, even the services are real.

In the case of physical goods, the Buyer and Seller may freely communicate on the Video Conferencing platform of their choice. This allows the Seller to demonstrate the products or services to the Buyer directly. The ability to immediately see the product and ensure that it meets the requirements of the Buyer ensures community members know what they are buying, and what to expect.

These calls may further be recorded, as can the unboxing of the delivery once the Buyer has received the delivery of physical products. This ability removes any and all doubts about the status of the products before the purchase and after the delivery. Only when the Buyer and Seller are completely satisfied with the established transaction arrangements is there any exchange of funds or tokens.

At that stage of the E-commerce transaction, there will be an option to include the internal Adpost Web3 Escrow services. In cases where this option is selected, the tokens will be directly transacted to a secured address regulated by a Smart Contract, and with other security measures in place. This allows the Adpost Swap Marketplace to greatly reduce the risk of fraud or scamming during the course of the transaction.

Introducing these features is only the first stage of the current Adpost Roadmap and the digital growth and expansion of the Adpost free classifieds website. There are, of course, some tentative plans for future growth and expansion, but these will largely be relegated to the actual needs and desires of the active Adpost community members.

If you want to know more, please visit the Adpost website, join the Adpost Discord Server, or follow them on any of their other Social Media channels. Suppose you are looking for the latest developments to ensure the safety and security of your online E-Commerce experience. In that case, you need to look no further than the Adpost free classified ad website and Swap Marketplace.

New York City, New York Feb 2, 2023 (Issuewire.com) – GSE Systems Inc Board,

It is very disappointing that you have refused to take any actions based on our letters and communications in the recent months. It appears that the Board of Directors are more willing to stubbornly protect Mr. Kyle Loudermilk despite his long track record of destroying value and overwhelming dissatisfaction among employees than to represent the interest of all shareholders.

Kyle Loudermilk has a track record that is truly appalling and isn’t the right person to lead GSE Systems (“GVP” or the “Company). GVP needs new leadership with demonstrated experience in selling services to energy sector, margin expansion and most importantly turnarounds. We urge the Board to do an unbiased assessment of GVP’s current management and consider the following in relation to Kyle Loudermilk’s performance.

• Poor Financial Performance – Since Kyle Loudermilk’s appointment as CEO, GVP has yielded negative returns for shareholders over his tenure. Revenue and Profitability have declined each year.
• Decline of Core Simulation Business -GVP was a market leader in the Simulation Business at the time of Mr. Kyle Loudermilk’s hiring. In a Buy-American industry like power generation, being the Only American player offering such products should have given GVP a marketing edge to expand its Simulation products and win new customers but on the Contrary, GVP has lost bids and customers in this business segment to its Foreign competitors. Once a 20m to 30m annual revenue business with no major wins has declined drastically under his watch.
• Dispirited employees – We have spoken with numerous former employees and not a single one has anything positive to say about Mr. Kyle Loudermilk’s leadership. There is a consistent theme that he cares more about maintaining control of the Company than supporting his employees.
• Vacant Sales positions and lack of a Sales leader – Company’s sales engine has dwindled under his leadership.
• Lack of Focus – Rather than focus on its higher margin simulation business or engineering services, GVP appears to be pulled down by its poor investments into the highly competitive staffing business.
• Poor Decision Making – GVP under current management spent $32 million of shareholder Cash for 3 acquisitions that failed to generate projected results.
• Lost Credibility with Shareholders and Wall Street – GVP’s largest shareholders are disappointed with business results during Kyle Loudermilk’s tenure and want to see change.
• No plan for Growth – Current managements future business strategy depends on M&A to attain “scale” which is not only a high-risk strategy but leads to compounded risks by issuing new shares or add to debt.

In our opinion, it is in the best interests of all GVP shareholders for GVP to make an immediate leadership change to chart a new path or undertake sale of the it’s two segments separately.

We hope that you will act as responsible fiduciaries and take our input to heart but make no mistake: shareholders will not tire from the task of holding Mr. Loudermilk and you responsible for our losses, nor from reminding you of your obligation to shareholders

Sincerely,

Ankur Saggar

New York City, New York Feb 1, 2023 (Issuewire.com) – Interview by Lauren Scott with Karen Salicath Jamali a new kind of classical artist

Generally speaking, classical artists are highly dependent on relentless commitment and strong musical instincts to succeed in the market, and Karen Salicath is well-positioned to excel in this regard. Now that the mesmerizing new single ‘Angel Star’ is catching fire, it’s clear that we’ll be hearing a lot more of Karen Salicath. Perhaps that also explains why Karen Salicath Jamali was the recipient of the prestigious Akademia Music Award for Best Classical Song on July 15, 2022, for the song “Angel Gabriel”, and the Grand Akademia Award for Best Classical Song on Jan. 15 2023 for the song “Angel Arcadia” Reporter Lauren Scott recently caught up with Karen Salicath to learn more about this intriguing artist and the inspiration behind what is clearly a captivating new sound.

LAUREN: Let’s just get this out in the open- What is the craziest thing that has happened to you in your music career?
KAREN SALICATH The way the music came to me, after having a near-death experience and a head injury in 2012 and 3 years of recovery in 2015, the music suddenly came to me, and I was able to play the piano and compose which I never have done before and never played the piano before, I began to hear music in my dreams and thereafter play and record the music. For me, this still is a mystery I can’t explain, now after 7 years of making compositions and playing, the music still comes to me. And how 3 years later I was performing my music in Carnegie Hall solo. My life has changed completely.

LAUREN: Your song ‘Angel Star’ is receiving a positive listener response on the radio. What was your initial reaction when you first heard your song playing on the radio?
KAREN SALICATH: I am amazed and thankful that my music reaches into listeners’ hearts and touches them on a deeply personal level

LAUREN: What was the inspiration behind your radio single?
KAREN SALICATH: My inspiration behind ‘Angel Star’, I got the music in a dream, and I woke up very early in the morning and recorded it. And I got intuitive that this piece should be named “Angel Star” this piece transports you deep inside in peace and relaxation to your inner universe of stars.

LAUREN: It is often said that great art arises from difficult experiences. Is there something in your life experience thus far that you would describe as the ‘catalyst’ or ‘fuel’ for your desire to create music?
KAREN SALICATH: When I was 8 years old, I played classical guitar for 15 years, I had a teacher from The Royal Danish Academy of Music, I wanted to become a musician but became a professional Artist instead. I am educated at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts – School of Design. Now 25 years later, after I had a near-death experience, the things I experienced out there, changed me and my life, and the music came to life in me again.

LAUREN: How would you characterize yourself as an artist/musician?
KAREN SALICATH: I have always been an artist since I was a child, art, and music have been a part of me for as long as I can remember. It is the core of my being, it is why I am here. My art and music are spiritual, intuitive, and life, it’s all about the energy, which I transform into music, sculpture or painting, and photography. Some people connect best to music they can hear, some best to forms, things they can touch, and some to things they can see. I am trying to describe the same energy in all kinds of these expressions of art, to touch people’s hearts and feelings to let them connect to the energy which I am transmuting. Angels have been very close to me since I was a child, and you see them everywhere in my art and music, the energy of angels is Peace, Love, Hope, and Compassion. This is the energy I am working with in my music and art.

LAUREN: What has your experience been like working with the other people on your team?
KAREN SALICATH I am mostly working alone, with my music and art, but I am working with some amazing people to help me do technical things and guides, I just worked with the excellent sound master Bryon William Harris, President at BWH Music Group on my latest album “Hope of Angels” and this single “Angel Star”.

LAUREN: Did you come from a musical background? Are there other musicians in your family?
KAREN SALICATH: I am coming from a family full of artists of all kinds, for many generations. My grandmother Inger Salicath was a concert pianist and a teacher at The Royal Danish Academy of Music. My ant Kirsten was an organist for 25 years in Roskilde, Denmark. But the most influence I had was from my grandfather Johan Galster who was a well-known sculptor and artist in Denmark and professor at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts which has provided education in the arts for more than 250 years, he was also a Knight of Denmark he received the order of the Dannebrog corresponding to today’s Knight of the Grand Cross. But foremost he was the sweetest most loving grandfather you could have, he taught me about art and about the angels in secret, about the history and myths in art about shapes and structure, about being honest to yourself, and not listing to teachers their like to shape you in their picture, he also played the piano, there was always piano music and a special atmosphere in this Atelier, I loved to be there, he guided me and believed in me. My other grandfather, on my father’s side Eddie Salicath, was a poet and a writer, he created a poetry house in Copenhagen Admiral Gjeddes Gard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admiral_Gjeddes_Gard where writers and poets and musicians could come and share their arts in Holbergsalen, a venue for literary and cultural events. My father Per Salicath was a librarian and loved to share all kinds of histories with me and my brothers, and my mother Anna Galster was an architect. My grand grandmother Hanne Thiele Plum was a painter and friend of many artists some of them Karen Blixen and Carl Nielsen, she made art parties for discussing the arts, philosophy, and aesthetics in her and her husband Niels Munk Plum my grand grandfather, they had an estate outside Copenhagen named Haralds Gave https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haraldsgave it was designed for an exclusive boarding house and recreation home, where among others Niels Bohr was to be found among the regulars. And my husband is the world-famous painter Jamali. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamali_(artist)

LAUREN: What do you find most rewarding about being an artist? What do you find most challenging?
KAREN SALICATH: The most rewarding is to live my dreams and be able to create. It is like my air and water that I cannot live without, and when people come back to me and tell me how my music has touched them, I become so great full, and humble that this music can change other people’s lives, and fulfill them with more peace and healing, this is an amazing experience. The most challenging is to keep up with time. There is so much to do and there are only 24 hours in a day. It is a challenge to learn all the stuff you must learn, to promote yourself on all the platforms, how to do all these technical things, and schedule them so you have time, and then still learn new things. It’s never-ending and really exhausting.

LAUREN: Who are your role models in music?
KAREN SALICATH: Some of my favorite composers are Johan Sebastian Bach, Vivaldi, Hector Villa Lobos, Beethoven, Chopin, Clara Shuman, and I love the cellist Hauser and Adele. I love so many different musicians.

LAUREN: Describe your best or most memorable performance.
KAREN SALICATH: This was this year June 12th in Carnegie Hall Sterns Auditorium, in New York, where I performed my composition ‘Angel Gabriel’. It was amazing and an honor to be invited to play in this historical hall, I would never have imagined this should happen. To perform on this stage was like being in a dream.

LAUREN: What advice would you give to young, aspiring artists out there who are unsure and need guidance?
KAREN SALICATH: I would tell them always believe in themselves, especially if they are doing something nobody has done before, always trust in themselves and keep going, and never give up, you got a gift and it is your responsibility to take care of it, nobody else can do this for you.

LAUREN: What’s next for you as an artist? Is there an album in the works? If so, what can you tell us about it?
KAREN SALICATH: Right now, my album Hope of Angels is up for the first ballot of this year’s Grammy(R) Consideration, and I am working on my next album, in the early stages, so can’t talk much about it other than it is on its way. Hopefully, by the start of the year springtime it will be finished.

LAUREN: That sounds great! Thank you for giving us more insight into your life as an artist. I wish you much continued success in your career!

Brighton East, Victoria Feb 1, 2023 (Issuewire.com) – The Safety Governance Foundation has appointed the Hon Tim Wilson as Chair in a move expected to increase the focus of company boards, management, and governments on workplace safety.

The Safety Governance Foundation was set up three years ago to have boards and senior management refocus their efforts on safety initiatives, compliance, and transparency – safety is a key component of governance. Data indicates safety is an issue that is slipping from company priorities.

Mr. Wilson said he was delighted to be taking the reins for an organisation that was focussing on safety governance. “When I left politics, I wanted to continue the important work I was doing in ESG, I have worried for some time that while sustainability is incredibly important, the senior leadership of many companies appears to have taken their ‘eyes off the ball’ in terms of safety.

“You only have to look at the horrendous statistics from around the world to see that safety must be at the forefront of management’s thinking. The result of not being safety conscious is not only costly, but it is also unacceptable to have people in your organisation not being properly protected at work. It is a key management and board responsibility to ensure companies manage safety proactively,” Mr. Wilson said.

The Safety Governance Foundation has been rethinking the way organisations around the globe focus on the safety of workplaces as a result of the data.

“In 2020, 194 people lost their lives at work or as a bystander impacted work[1]. Apart from the obvious obligation we have for caring for our workforce, a recent report from Safe Work Australia said a reduction in work-related injury and illness would result in a $28.6 billion boost to the Australian economy and create 185,500 more jobs per year[2],” Mr. Wilson said.

Workers’ compensation schemes are also feeling the impact, with both the New South Wales[3] and the Victoria[4] State Schemes requiring financial support of more than $1.9 and $1.3 billion dollars respectively to bolster their schemes.

“A renewed focus on safety will have a significant financial impact on organisations around the country. We need to create this new focus on the human impacts of our work to ensure a more sustainable future.

“With the increasing focus on the actions of directors, executives, and even ministers, it is timely to remind people that the safety of our workforce and the public is paramount.

“I look forward to working with a talented board and taking the message of a safer workplace to the boardrooms of Australia. The Safety Governance Foundation will ensure that there are global best practice sharing and education available to all Australian companies”, Mr. Wilson said.
