Holders of 2022 Notes who have previously delivered consents do not need to redeliver such consents or take any other action in response to this announcement in order to consent or receive the increased consent consideration upon the successful conclusion of the Consent Solicitation relating to the 2022 Notes.

Lumaxis allows device manufacturers to outsource the design and production of high resolution, state-of-the-art projection engines (PEs) into their inspection systems; enables manufacturers to focus on core competencies while being more responsive to market-driven demand for faster, more accurate optical inspection capabilities.

(PRWEB) January 16, 2018

Lumaxis today announces that it will custom-design Projection Engines for manufacturers of 3D metrology inspection systems. Lumaxis’s projection engines provide manufacturers of solder paste inspection (SPI) systems, microelectronics inspection (MEI) systems, and 3D automated optical inspection (e.g., inspection of small molded parts) systems with an industry-leading combination of resolution, speed, precision, reliability and design flexibility.

“By focusing exclusively on designing high-performance PEs into existing 3D metrology systems, Lumaxis is able to deliver high quality projectors within months – versus years – enabling manufacturers to bring high-end optical inspection scanners to market more quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively than if they designed them internally,” said Marc Foglia, Lumaxis President.

Lumaxis is a division of NVIS, manufacturers of professional near-eye and projection displays. Lumaxis leverages more than 15 years of NVIS experience developing high-resolution, compact optical systems using Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) spatial light modulators from Forth Dimension Displays. NVIS and Forth Dimension Displays are wholly owned subsidiaries of Kopin Corporation, a global provider of wearable technologies. This relationship ensures that best practices are always maintained and competitive, cost effective, and high value products are used in the design of the projection engines.

Lumaxis’s core value proposition is offering manufacturers of 3D optical metrology inspection systems the ability to squeeze more performance out of their hardware at the same or lower cost than any other approach. The following are the key technology and market differentiators:· Lumaxis PEs improve system performance (better resolution, depth of vision/field, brightness, size, weight, etc.) by leveraging extensive experience in microdisplay- based compact projection systems.
· Lumaxis gives manufacturers the flexibility and agility that comes from outsourcing.
· Proven ability to deliver: Lumaxis’s “parent” company, NVIS, Inc., has 15+ years of experience using Forth Dimension Displays’ microdisplay technology in compact, lightweight, high performance projected image applications.

Meridian Waste Solutions’ Attis Innovations Executes License for Proprietary Biofuel Process Technology

*Expected to Improve Conversion Efficiency and Profitability*

ATLANTA, GA , Jan. 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Meridian Waste Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRDN) (“Meridian” or the “Company”), an integrated, non-hazardous solid waste services and innovative technology company, today announced the execution by the Company’s subsidiary, Attis Innovations, Inc., of a license agreement for proprietary biofuel process technology proven with initial testing to provide for significant improvements in conversion efficiency.

Biodiesel is one of the most abundant biofuels produced today, contributing more than 2 billion gallons in 2016 to the United States Renewable Fuel Standard. It is a renewable, clean-burning replacement for fossil fuels that is made from a diverse mix of virgin and waste feedstocks, including animal fats, vegetable oils, greases and other lipids. Existing biodiesel production methods require the use of multiple catalyst and purification steps that have innate inefficiencies that the Attis engineering team has targeted for reduction.

The new license involves technology designed to achieve that objective by eliminating process steps that reduce raw material consumption while increasing feedstock tolerances, and improving both product yield and quality. Subject to further verification and scale-up testing, the new approach is expected to reduce construction costs and improve profitability by an estimated $0.40 per gallon.

Importantly, the Company also expects to integrate the new technology into its growing ecosystem of biomass conversion and refining technologies, including Attis’ patented and patent-pending AST-Organosolv process, which fractionates and converts cellulosic biomass into ethanol or butanol and a renewable alternative for petroleum-derived resins.

“We believe that the solid waste industry has overlooked compelling opportunities to extract significant value from large volumes of carbonaceous wastes and other by-products produced by several industries,” said Jeff Cosman, Meridian’s Chief Executive Officer. “We plan to harvest those opportunities to generate increased shareholder value as part of the continuing evolution of our approach to waste management in 2018, as exemplified to date by our expanding relationship with key agencies, our $3 million grant award from the USDA, and recent and planned acquisitions. We’re pleased to include the new license in our portfolio.”

Additional information on Attis’ technologies is available online at www.attisinnovations.com and www.amsnt.com.

BOSTON (PRWEB) January 16, 2018

Progressive Church Media Announces Special Savings for Churches Just in Time for Lent

Progressive Church Media announces special savings on their complete line of worship media so that churches can mark the 40-day Lenten journey to Easter in a cost-effective manner. These special discounts are available during the season of Lent and represent an additional savings beyond the company's church budget-friendly pricing.

ATLANTA (PRWEB) January 16, 2018

As Christian churches prepare to mark the 40-day Lenten to Easter, Progressive Church Media (PCM) has announced special pricing on their complete line of worship media to help communities of faith make the most of the praise and worship budgets.

According to PCM CEO and Founder Mike Mitchell, these seasonal discounts come at a particularly good time for churches. "With the changes included in the recently passed federal tax laws, I think a lot of churches are taking a second look at their budgets and thinking ahead. The impact of changes to tax deductions, including charitable donations, is an unknown to communities of faith right now," Mitchell says.

PCM is a growing leader in the creation of high-quality content for worship, especially among more progressive and affirming churches. Leading progressive congregations, such as Virginia-Highland Church in Atlanta, increasingly rely on worship media from PCM for their worship, website and social media presence. "We are a diverse congregation with a progressive theology," says Tracy Britton, President of the Parish Council at Virginia-Highland Church. "We feel more comfortable using worship media that is inclusive and actually shares our values and our faith."

PCM is offering special discounts for churches on their entire catalog of worship media from now through Easter Sunday. Churches can use the discounts to purchase worship media for Ash Wednesday, Lent, Palm Sunday, Easter or other major dates on the liturgical calendar. "Our prices are already low when compared to other providers of worship media. We see this as both a business and a ministry, so we work hard to keep our operating costs low. We want to make quality worship media available to everyone," Mitchell says.

The Melding Of Two Creative Minds

Author Nancy Dorrier and photographer Paul Fetters present their first book, Stan Went Fishing: Stories and Images of Waking Up

DALLAS (PRWEB) January 16, 2018

Stan Went Fishing: Stories and Images of Waking Up, by Nancy Dorrier and Paul Fetters, is an inspiring book with writing that invites reflection and invokes a sense of wonder. Nancy’s stories, paired with Paul’s photographs, come together in a unique and beautiful fashion.

Stan Went Fishing presents “vivid moments in time about what it means to be human, captured in 150-word essays, paired with riveting photographs,” says Nancy Dorrier. “We set out to tell everyday stories that provide readers with a lighter approach to their lives,” says Paul Fetters, the photographic eye behind this work of art.

Stan Went Fishing grew out of Nancy and Paul’s willingness to challenge each other to see what is right in front of them, hidden in plain sight.

The stories stem from a writing practice that Nancy shares with executives to deal with their goals and challenges in powerful, resourceful ways. “Writing is a standard practice for us in having people discover their own wisdom and emerge as authentic, powerful leaders,” Nancy says.

“Our creative practices with pen and camera gave us the means to an understanding we wouldn’t otherwise have had,” says Dorrier. “Through this work, we willingly expose the unevenness of our eyes, minds, and hearts. The images were made in different locations at different times, mostly featuring subject matter other than that of the written stories they accompany.”

While each element—essay and photograph—contains its own light and message, the play between each pair creates a third story in which the creators hope the readers find themselves and meaning beyond the parts.

After reading through the stories and viewing the images, readers will look at themselves and others with compassion, reflect on the value of relationships in their lives, discover something new about past or current experiences, and see the world with a fresh pair of eyes.

“This book is a means of bringing our conversations to you. The stories and photos are about life, and even though they come from a specific life, you can read them and find yourself in each."

“We offer this project with the intention of leaving you a bit wiser, quite a bit lighter, and, perhaps, inspired to embark on a similar exploration of your own,” Dorrier says.

Nancy Dorrier is co-founder and owner (1986) of Dorrier Underwood, an executive and organizational development firm in Charlotte, NC. Based in Falls Church, Virginia, Paul Fetters travels throughout the U.S. and the world completing assignments for corporate, nonprofit, and magazine clients.
