The global bitumen market is projected to stand on the rising infrastructure activities in both developed and emerging countries.

Albany, New York, June 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- They say there is nothing in our house that has not been transported via road at some point of their product cycle before reaching us. A number of governments, particularly those in BRICS nations, are emphasizing on improving their highways or freeways in order to improve efficiency of the transportation industry. As a result, heavy investments are being made to prepared roadways and as a result, the demand for bitumen is expanding. A recent business intelligence study developed at the headquarters of Transparency Market Research (TMR) has projected that the demand in the *global bitumen market* will be incrementing at a CAGR of 3.90% during the forecast period of 2014 to 2020. Revenue-wise, the analyst has estimated the market to attain a value of US$93.38 billion by the end of 2020.

*Most Players Dominating in their Respective Regions*

The analyst of the report has detected a fairly competitive scenario among the bitumen market leaders, notifying that some of the prominent players are Marathon Oil Company, NuStar Energy, ExxonMobil, Shell Bitumen, and Valero Energy Corporation. Most of the players are dominant in their respective regions. However, to gain greater shares, the vendors are consistently improvising their products to suite other applications, such as roofing and airport runways. Going forward, the tussle for leadership position is expected to intensify as a few promising new players make an entry.

*Request A Sample Of Bitumen Market: **https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/sample.php?flag=S&rep_id=295*

Based on product type, the vendors of bitumen market are gaining most prominent chunk of demand for paving grade bitumen. The analyst has evaluated that there was a demand for 80,000 kilo tons of paving grade bitumen in 2016, constituting for the most significant chunk of the overall market that had a demand for 129,673.2 kilo tons of bitumen. However, increasing preference of concrete is curtailing the progress of this segment. Application-wise, roadways continues to be most important segment, promising to consume more than 80% of the total demand by the end of 2020. Geographically, Asia Pacific has been highlighted as the region with enormous potential, although North America provided for a greater demand for bitumen as of 2016.

*Demand for Polymer Modified Bitumen Opening New Opportunities*

Apart from increased road development activities across emerging economies, the bitumen market is gaining traction from growing scope and applications of polymer modified bitumen (PMB). PMB is gaining adoption for its advantageous properties of high skid resistance, high porosity, and low noise. The roadways industry highly appreciates these advantages and hence a growing demand for the same. On the other hand, environmental concerns pertaining to the extraction of bitumen and emergence of some of the viable alternatives are expected to curtail the progress of the bitumen market in the near future. Nevertheless, the analyst of the report has foreseen the development of bio-based bitumen to open vast new opportunities. The trend across all industries is to be ecofriendly and the bitumen market players will also have to devise ways to sustain their industry in an environment-friendly manner.

*Request For Multiple Chapters on Bitumen Market Research Report: **https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/sample.php?flag=MC&rep_id=295*

*Key Takeaways:*

· There will be an estimated demand of 129,673.2 kilo tons of bitumen by the end of 2020, which will reflect a revenue of over 90 billion dollars.
· PMB is creating new opportunities for its striking advantages of low noise and ideal friction properties welcomed by the roadway industry
· There is a strong need to make the extraction processes more ecofriendly

Certification Underscores Companies’ Commitment to Improve Wireless Connectivity in Underserved Urban Markets Throughout the U.S. While Enabling Smart City Transformation

SAN FRANCISCO, June 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NextEdge Networks and its sister company Modus are proud to announce they are the first wireless services and infrastructure companies to be Certified B Corporations^® in the United States.  NextEdge Networks and Modus join the global community of Certified B Corps with one unifying goal: to redefine success in business by using business as a force for good™.  B Corps™ are certified by the nonprofit B Lab^® to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, improving the quality of life in communities through business.  

“Our B Corp status aligns with the mission of our customers, which includes leading municipalities and landlords, who employ technological innovations that can improve resource efficiency, save money, and help make their communities and buildings more economically resilient,” says Jeff Tannenbaum, Chairman of Titan Grove, the majority funder of NextEdge Networks.

“As the first wireless services and infrastructure B Corp in the United States, we feel privileged with the opportunity to have a positive impact on the cities and broader communities in which we work and reside,” says Doug Wiest, CEO of NextEdge Networks.  “At a time when it is estimated that nearly one-fourth of all urban residents in the U.S. lack access to high-quality and affordable broadband, we are in a unique position to help solve the Digital Divide for the many cities and residents that are facing these challenges.”

NextEdge Networks and Modus are wholly focused on improving wireless connectivity as a catalyst for more sustainable cities, communities and buildings.  The companies partner with municipalities to help them process wireless applications and provide database support as well as services to enable Internet of Things (IoT) initiatives.  Additionally, NextEdge Networks and Modus work with building owners and operators as well as IoT providers to improve in-building wireless connectivity and deploy smart city solutions, democratizing connectivity for tenants and communities, and directly aligning with the principles of B Corps.

To become a Certified B Corp, NextEdge Networks and Modus met stringent performance requirements outlined in the B Impact Assessment, a globally-recognized standard that looks at environmental performance, how a company treats its employees, the impact the company has on its customers and the broader community, as well as the company's accountability, governance, and transparency practices.  The companies’ mission aligns with the ethos behind the B Corp movement of aiming to be the best not just in the world but for the world.

“The B Corp ethos matches the heart of our corporate culture and will challenge us to become an even better company,” says Erik Corkery, EVP of Modus.  “We look forward to seeing the continued positive impact our company will have on transforming cities into smart communities with smart buildings through better wireless connectivity, and serving as a model for responsible business practices.  This is another innovation and a first from our company.”

Founded in 2005 in San Francisco and Silicon Valley and now with a nationwide presence, NextEdge Networks and Modus have since grown through continuous innovation and exceeding customers’ expectations to become the leading, next-generation wireless infrastructure services provider in the U.S.   Company innovations and highlights include the design and installation of the nation’s first 5G evolution site and market-wide 5G network, and the country’s first 3.5 GHz Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) support network.  NextEdge Networks is majority funded and owned by Titan Grove in partnership with management.

The 13-Week summer tour will visit 255 retail locations in the U.S. and Canada

ARCOLA, Ill. (PRWEB) June 05, 2018

The Libman Company, a leading North American manufacturer of household and high-power cleaning products, is taking to the highway for a third straight year with its “Embrace Life’s Messes” Tour that will travel to 255 retail locations in the U.S. and Canada. This is the first year the tour will extend into Canada, primarily in the Ontario region. Over the course of 13 weeks, the company will give away products and special prizes during the retail store visits to encourage consumers to embrace life’s messes by letting Libman help do the work.

The Libman “Embrace Life’s Messes” tour will kick off in South Louisville, KY on June 6 and end in Columbus, Ohio on September 1. At the helm of the tour is a team of two, Yen and Derek, serving as Libman brand ambassadors, who will drive the Libman-branded Ford Transit van to store openings, and retail locations. At the retail stops, shoppers will have the opportunity to see in-store product demos and as well as participate in games to win Libman prizes.

The tour will be documented throughout the 13 weeks with blog posts, photos and videos of the duo’s adventures on social media sites and on http://www.embracelifesmesses.com. Additionally, Libman will concurrently run the Embrace Life’s Messes Sweepstakes where over the course of those 13 weeks, consumers can spin the online animated wheel every 24 hours for the daily chance to win a Libman Wonder® Mop, or the grand prize, a Libman Move-In Cleaning Kit, which contains essential cleaning products needed by those moving in (or out) of a house or apartment. The Embrace Life’ s Messes Sweepstakes runs from June 6 to August 31, 2018.

The 13-week “Embrace Life’s Messes” tour is an extension of Libman’s television and print ad campaign that reminds consumers to “Remember the Moment and Forget the Mess.” Whether it’s making cupcakes together, playing with the family pet, or dabbling in arts and crafts projects, the message Libman wants to send is that Libman has consumers covered so they can enjoy the moment rather than fret about the mess.

The Libman Company was founded in 1896 with one mission: to make the finest, most durable wire-wound corn brooms. The family left Lithuania for the United States in the 1890s, landed in Chicago, and started life in the New World by peddling sundries from a pushcart, selling everything from brooms to clothes-pins. The old-fashioned corn broom was a top seller.

Today, Libman has a 1.4 million square foot facility located in Central Illinois. With the fourth generation of Libmans who have come on board, they are as committed as their predecessors to providing high-quality, American-made cleaning products including mops, brushes, cleaning tools, and brooms.

To enter the “Spin to Win” sweepstakes or to see the “Embrace Life’s Messes” tour schedule, visit http://www.embracelifesmess.com.

About The Libman Company
The Libman Company is a family-owned company that has been making quality cleaning tools since 1896. The company manufactures products from brooms and mops to more specialized tools for kitchen and bathroom cleaning and industrial uses. Libman proudly manufactures most of their products in North America, including the company’s well-known Wonder® Mop. For more information about the Libman Company, please visit http://www.libman.com.

Kohler Expands Environmental, Health Disclosures for Kitchen & Bath Products

Leading Plumbing Manufacturer Launches Declare Labels, Adds More Environmental Product Declarations

KOHLER, Wis. (PRWEB) June 05, 2018

Today, in recognition of World Environmental Day, Kohler Co. announces expansion of its environmental and human health product disclosures for its kitchen and bath products.

Kohler has released its first Declare human health product labels for two popular enameled cast iron fixtures – the Villager® bathtub and the Brockway™ sink. Declare labels, similar to food ingredient labels, detail the material composition of the fixtures and help inform consumers about the safety of the products they use every day. Declare labels are produced using a format developed by the International Living Future Institute (ILFI), and they fulfill product disclosure requirements in the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) green building rating system.

Kohler’s engineering and operations team worked together for more than six months on the project.

“Developing our first Declare labels required gathering details on the sourced raw material from each supplier, the quantity of naturally occurring impurities, and the final material composition after undergoing chemical transformation during the casting and firing process,” said Jeff Zeman, principal engineer for product sustainability engineering at Kohler. “Architects and designers have asked for information about the products they specify for building projects, and knowing the exact makeup of the raw materials help us continue to invest in product innovation that benefits our customers.”

Kohler also recently expanded availability of environmental product declarations (EPDs) for its plumbing fixtures produced for North American and select Asian markets, which helps architects and interior designers maximize the credits they can achieve when targeting a building for LEED certification.

Kohler has achieved third-party certification through UL to create on-demand EPDs for more than 1,000 primary kitchen and bath fixtures, or more than 10,000 total product SKUs when accounting for color and finish variations. With this expansion, Kohler offers more EPDs than any other building products manufacturer.

“Kohler has long been known as an industry leader in water efficiency,” said Rob Zimmerman, director of sustainability at Kohler. “Providing clear, easy-to-understand environmental and human health data on the products we manufacture takes our sustainability commitment one step further. In partnership with the green building industry, we strive to ensure that all residential and commercial buildings contribute to the overall health of their occupants while minimizing their environmental footprint.”

Because Kohler environmental engineers worked with operations leaders to collect energy, water and waste data at 14 of the company’s manufacturing facilities and apply it to individual products, the company achieved UL certification at the facility level instead of the typical product-by-product approach other manufacturers use. This maximizes the number of KOHLER and Sterling products with available EPDs and provides data-supported insights that give Kohler product development teams an edge in designing the next generation of more environmentally favorable plumbing products. Next the teams will gather information to develop EPDs for KOHLER faucets and showering products, planned for 2019.

In April, Kohler was one of 34 building products manufacturers that publicly committed to product transparency in a letter from ILFI mailed to architects, designers and other influential leaders in the green building industry. Kohler is currently working with ILFI to create Declare labels for additional fixtures, to launch later this year.

The new business with CRC Oncology Corp further facilitates Medrio’s widening domestic and international expansion.

The new-generation high-speed cyber defense powered by Paladion’s AI.saac platform lets human security experts defend against the increasing volume and diversity of cyber threats.

Paladion CEO Rajat Mohanty stressed the vital need to accelerate cyber defense activities and results. He said, “We now live in a world where data breaches are inevitable. The role of cyber defense is to prevent where possible, but otherwise to detect, contain, and recover as fast as possible and with as little damage as possible. AI and human experts working together are the solution.”

Paladion’s fully integrated AI-driven Managed Detection and Response services uses Paladion’s patent pending AI platform AI.saac and its 1,000+ globally located team of human security experts to ensure cyber defense for customers across their entire IT stacks. The unified application of AI on all data defends against blended threats and other modern menaces, protection that older silo-oriented approaches cannot offer.

“Traditional SIEM-based security monitoring cannot analyze the big data of modern cyber-attacks fast enough. It also misses the big picture, by failing to detect complex, targeted, or unknown attacks, said Mohanty. “Paladion’s industry-leading response has been to evolve beyond SIEM and build a truly comprehensive MDR service powered by our next-generation AI platform—AI.saac.”

Today, Paladion’s AI.saac offers the first fully integrated platform to support “left-of-hack-to-right-of-hack” cyber defense services. Services of threat anticipation, threat hunting, and security monitoring (before possible compromise or “left-of-hack”) are all enhanced. So, too are incident analysis, incident response, and breach management (after possible compromise or “right-of-hack”). The AI.saac platform delivers high-speed detection by deploying comprehensive techniques that include supervised, unsupervised, and deep learning, as well as natural language processing (NLP).

“Paladion’s MDR services use the best of both worlds – AI and human expertise – to first anticipate, hunt for, and prevent attacks from breaching customer systems. From there, if a security incident still occurs, Paladion quickly analyzes levels of threat impact and priorities for customers, rapidly responds to attacks affecting customers, and recovers customer systems from the breach— before business suffers,” added Mohanty.

Actions that previously took hours, days or even weeks before, can now be accomplished in minutes or less. AI.saac can sift through billions of terabytes at speeds that other security platforms cannot match. Paladion’s next generation global security operations centers (SOCs) leverage AI.saac to detect, understand, and eliminate threats, repulsing attackers before they can turn breaches into catastrophes. With appropriate customer authorization, AI.saac can even automate response to known threats for near real-time network protection.

Paladion combines this AI-driven defense with its large, global pool of cyber security experts into a “low noise, high-touch service”. The hybrid AI-human intelligence approach is adapted to each customer’s specific needs, enhancing the strength, speed, and efficiency of each unique customer security posture.

Mohanty continued, “Some security providers have been scrambling to layer off-the-shelf AI onto what are essentially yesterday’s security services. However, effective AI-driven security needs more if it is to truly combat today’s evolving AI-driven cyber threats. Paladion’s AI-driven MDR service has been designed from the ground up to be powerful, effective, adaptable, and scalable, combining the best in advanced technology and human security expertise. It is also available to customers at only a fraction of the cost of building their own solution”.

The update brings the realism of avatars created from selfies to an unprecedented level; the Offline Unity plugin is updated to preserve user privacy by enabling avatar creation locally on almost any smartphone.

Santa Clara, CA (PRWEB) June 06, 2018

Today we are announcing a major update to the Avatar SDK. It now features more assets, much faster avatar generation time, including offline generation on mobile devices, and significant discounts. Most importantly, starting from this release, we introduce the new type of avatars that are called Head Avatar, bringing the likeness to a whole new level! Here is a detailed list of changes:

HEAD AVATARS: contrary to our existing Face avatars that consist of a face and a head without a hairstyle, we can now generate a Head avatar with a face, a head, a hairstyle and a bust! Our AI engine can magically guess the hairstyle of a person from just a single photo! Also, a bust with texture similar to an input image is generated, making the avatar look much more alike the real person! The compute time for the Head avatars is under 20 seconds with the Cloud API, not including data transfer. As of now, the Head avatars generation will only be available via Cloud API, the Offline SDK Unity support will be added in future versions.

FACE AVATARS: we have significantly enhanced the Face avatars engine. The avatar generation time is now under 10 seconds in with the Cloud API, and under 7 seconds on Samsung Galaxy S9 or iPhone X! The Offline Unity plugin version 1.5.0 now works on iPhone 7 and later models, as well as Android phones with at least 1GB of RAM! We have added 39 new hairstyles for the Face avatars that will be available on the Plus plan and higher, as well as in the Offline Unity plugin.

PRICING UPDATES: we are announcing a 50% discount on the Plus plan! Sign up to have a much lower cost per avatar (only 1.6 cents!) and the access to the additional 39 awesome hairstyles! If you act before July 4th, the discount will be valid for as long as you stay on this plan!

“The new release of Avatar SDK raises the bar for avatars produced from selfies”, said Victor Erukhimov, CEO of Itseez3D, Inc. “Focus group polls show that our avatars are almost as recognizable as photos, and the Offline Unity plugin meets the growing privacy needs of our customers.”

You can try both Head and Face avatars with our online demo and subscribe to the Plus plan by following this link! Add an immersive experience to your product with Avatar SDK! Reported by PRWeb 2 hours ago.

Huobi Chain Project Plots Course Toward a Decentralized Financial Platform Huobi is announcing the launch of the Huobi Chain Project (HCP) and the Huobi Chain Superhero Championship Program (HCSCP). With the HCP and HCSCP initiatives, Huobi wants to build a next-generation, decentralized financial platform.Huobi, headquartered in Singapore, is a global digital currency trading platform and exchange with offices in Hong Kong, Korea, Japan and the United States. According to the company, Huobi’s digital asset exchange has accumulated a trading volume of $1 trillion and serves more than 5 million users in over 130 countries.

According to data provided by CoinMarketCap, Huobi is currently the world’s third largest crypto exchange by trade volume, trading about $1.2 billion a day at the time of writing. The Huobi group is pursuing a diversified strategy, as shown by the recent launch of a crypto-oriented Exchange Traded Fund (ETF).

"Huobi is moving to Huobi Chain for a couple of reasons,” Gordon Chen, a senior Huobi executive in charge of the project, said in conversation with Bitcoin Magazine. “First, we believe in the decentralized future where some form of autonomous organization will replace corporations today. Huobi wants to make history and lead this transition. We see this as a grand experiment. Second, we think that this new world needs a new financial infrastructure, which is what we are hoping Huobi Chain will be.”

Huobi wants to develop the HCP into a decentralized, autonomous platform for value exchange, fundraising, securitization and more. Once the project is completed, Huobi plans to gradually migrate its operations onto the Huobi Chain. Huobi claims that the HCP is the first global experiment of its kind to transform a centralized corporation to a decentralized organization.

“Our dream is for Huobi to run on the public blockchain and become a truly decentralized autonomous organization,” Huobi Founder and CEO Leon Li stated in a press release.

HCSCP Competition

Huobi is launching the HCSCP competition, divided in ten milestones, with prizes to incentivize the community to participate in building the Huobi public chain and selecting a partner to lead the HCP. The company will fund the project with an initial investment of 20 million Huobi Tokens (HT), which is equivalent to about $100 million at the current exchange rate.

“Upon completion, all of the code will be open-sourced and we will also gradually migrate Huobi onto this new public blockchain,” Li explained. “Going forward, a percentage of Huobi’s yearly revenue will also be made available to fund the program.”

According to information provided by Huobi to Bitcoin Magazine, the HCSCP will follow a 21-month long program structure. The program will start by seeking out a global leader to lead the development efforts of the Huobi Chain Project. The Huobi Chain Project will then be divided into 10 milestones, each with a large prize pool; each milestone is a contest between teams from different parts of the world. New teams can join the contest at any milestone based on the open-sourced code from previous milestones. Upon completion, all of the code will be open-sourced, and the winning teams will share the prize.

Fyber N.V.: Facebook Audience Network Joins Fyber's FairBid Beta, New In-App Header Bidding Technology

--------------------

*Facebook Audience Network Joins Fyber's FairBid Beta,
New In-App Header Bidding Technology *

Partnership enables Facebook Audience Network to place bids in real time
and compete in a unified auction

*Berlin, June 6, 2018 - *Fyber (FSE: FBEN), a leading technology company creating solutions for smarter ad monetization, announced today that Facebook Audience Network is partnering with Fyber FairBid, Fyber's new mechanism to achieve a state of header bidding in the mobile app environment, thus helping app developers and mobile publishers make the most of their content by delivering highly-targeted ads that engage the right audiences, in an efficient, and fair trading environment.

The Fyber FairBid technology enables buyers like Facebook Audience Network to bid in real time on mobile app impressions, while still maintaining the direct SDK relationship with the publisher. Fyber FairBid allows SDK networks like Facebook Audience Network to access more in-app inventory and offers its advertisers the ability to outbid other buyers in real-time, which is a significant shift away from the predicted pricing model used by most mediation platforms. Facebook Audience Network joins AdColony and Tapjoy who are already FairBid beta partner networks.

For mobile publishers, Fyber's proprietary FairBid technology offers an independent, unbiased platform which eliminates the "waterfall" found in most mediation solutions and does not prioritize its own marketplace or ad network over ads from the other mediated networks. Because there is no bias in favor of any one demand source, the highest bid wins, regardless of which network the demand is coming from.

"Fyber's technology democratizes the programmatic buying process by providing all ad buyers equal ability to bid on every impression," said Vijay Balan, Head of Publisher Solutions Partnerships at Facebook Audience Network. "We believe all app publishers and developers should have access to a more transparent and more efficient ad monetization ecosystem.

Fyber FairBid brings together programmatic demand from DSPs, direct campaigns and SDK-mediated networks into one, simultaneous, real-time auction. By allowing all demand to compete in one flat, fair, and transparent auction which does not favor one source of demand over another, it ensures greater competition and an uplift in yield for in-app publishers.

"Fyber FairBid combines our proprietary real-time bidding exchange focused on in-app with our strong mediation platform to bring transparency, yield optimization and more automation to mobile publishers and app developers," said Offer Yehudai, President at Fyber. "Through our technological capabilities, and through strategic partnerships with ad networks like Facebook Audience Network, we are eliminating inefficient waterfalls that leave money on the table. At the same time, publishers can still enjoy the ad rendering benefits offered by these networks as the SDK integrations with their clients are maintained."

###

*About Fyber*
Fyber is a global technology company, developing a next generation monetization platform for mobile publishers. Fyber combines proprietary technologies and expertise in mediation, RTB, video and audience segmentation to create holistic solutions that shape the future of the app economy. Fyber recently fully merged its three previous acquisitions: Heyzap, Inneractive and Fyber RTB (formerly, Falk Realtime) and is now operating under one single brand. Fyber's monetization SDK is directly integrated into over 10,000 mobile apps and together the Fyber group reaches over 1.2 billion unique monthly users. Fyber has six global offices in San Francisco, New York, London, Berlin, Tel Aviv and Beijing. It is publicly traded on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol FBEN.

Online-Only Issue of the Journal is Now Available Within the SMPTE Digital Library on the IEEE Xplore Platform; First Issue Focuses on Cloud Technology

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (PRWEB) June 06, 2018

SMPTE®, the organization whose standards work has supported a century of advances in entertainment technology and whose membership spans the globe, today announced that in addition to its current print and online publications, SMPTE has published an additional, special, digital-only edition of the SMPTE Motion Imaging Journal. Available now within the SMPTE digital library, hosted on the IEEE Xplore platform, this first online-only Journal issue focuses on topics surrounding cloud technologies for media applications.

With the addition of the online-only issue, the SMPTE Motion Imaging Journal is now published 10 times per year — nine print/online editions and now one online-only edition. John Belton is the chair of the SMPTE Board of Editors, and Dianne Purrier is the staff managing editor of digital and print publications.

"For the online-only edition, we maintained the entire editorial and production process applied to print, including the rigorous peer review," said Purrier. "With the addition of the online-only edition, members and subscribers receive even more of the exceptional content they have come to expect from SMPTE and our Journal."

Within this June digital-only edition of the Journal, authors including Richard Cartwright, Dave Frederick, Christopher Jenkins, Chris Northwood, and Robert Wadge address topics related to cloud technologies in technical papers. On-theme papers include "An Internet of Things Architecture for Cloud-Fit Professional Media Workflow,""Lost in the Clouds? Cloud Storage Fits Into Media Workflows — Just Not Everywhere," and "An Architecture for Cloud-Based IP Video Production Tools." Additional articles focus on the impact of tone mapping on the bit rate and bit depth of coded sequences; use cases for the emerging AOMedia (AV1), an open, royalty-free video coding format designed for video transmissions over the internet; and time-compensated remote production over internet protocol (IP).

"The quality of the papers we received was so high that we found it relatively easy to put together this special digital-only edition of the Journal," said Belton. "The cloud continues to be a compelling topic for the media and entertainment industry, and we're proud to be showcasing quality technical papers on this subject from SMPTE members and subject matter experts."

The SMPTE Motion Imaging Journal offers readers a view into the technical world of motion-imaging science. Each issue covers a particular topic, and past issues have focused on themes such as file-based workflow, compression, 3D, audio, distribution formats, advances in lighting, sustainability, and digital cinema.

Chief of Staff of the Army Honors SmithGroupJJR’s Philip Tobey with Outstanding Civilian Service Award

Washington, DC, June 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army Gen. Mark A. Milley honors Senior Vice President Philip Tobey, FAIA, FACHA, ASHE with the Outstanding Civilian Service Award during the Salute from the Chief.

The Salute from the Chief is an event that allows the Chief of Staff, on behalf of the U.S. Army, to honor civilians that give back to the military. Tobey is being honored for his efforts to the Wounded Warriors in the design of the Center for the Intrepid at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas, the National Intrepid Center of Excellence in Bethesda, Maryland, as well as his ongoing work for the National Intrepid Center of Excellence satellite campuses on bases across the country.

Tobey served as principal-in-charge and senior planner for the Center for the Intrepid (CFI), the world’s most highly advanced rehabilitation center for soldiers recovering from severe injuries, burns, and amputations. The CFI, which opened in 2007, provides state-of-the-art rehabilitation combined with sophisticated translational research in prosthetics, robotics, virtual reality, and biomechanics. This unique facility also houses first-of-its-kind technology, such as a 300-degree virtual reality immersion environment and an advanced gait analysis laboratory, developed specifically for the CFI.

Tobey subsequently served as principal-in-charge on the National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE), which opened in 2010. The new global center of excellence advances the research, diagnosis, and treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI)—a complex injury that results in a broad range of cognitive, physical and psychological disabilities, which has become the ‘signature wound’ of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The NICoE is designed around a new operational model in rehabilitation medicine that focuses care around the patient, using a multidisciplinary concept that seamlessly integrates next-generation clinical and research technologies, as well as deeper family involvement.

Both the CFI and the NICoE are entirely new models of care and are breaking new ground in the successful diagnosis, treatment and research of these devastating injuries. The NICoE model is now being replicated in nine satellite TBI facilities distributed nationwide; to date, seven are completed and two are currently in design.

Tobey began his career as a captain and military architect at Headquarters, U.S. Air Force Office of the Surgeon General, with review responsibility for medical projects worldwide. He was awarded the U.S. Air Force Commendation Medal for his contributions in developing new programming and planning criteria for Army, Navy and Air Force medical facilities, and served as architect on special assignment to the White House for all executive branch medical facilities.

Tobey has continued to focus much of his career on military health, planning and designing millions of square feet of healthcare space on five continents and twenty countries for all branches of the military and Veterans Affairs. In recognition of his expertise, the Assistant Secretary of Defense appointed Tobey to the United States Defense Health Board. In 2013, he was appointed to the Congressionally-mandated Independent Review Panel on Military Medical Construction Standards to provide independent advice to the secretary on the military health system. Recently, he was recipient of the Urbahn Medal of the Society of American Military Engineers, awarded to one person annually for excellence in design.

Tobey earned his master’s degree in architecture from Harvard University and a bachelor’s degree in Architecture from the Rhode Island School of Design. He has been named a fellow of the American Institute of Architects and is a fellow and founding member of the American College of Healthcare Architects.

The Salute from the Chief will be held at 7PM EDT on Whipple Field, Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, Arlington, Virginia, and will be livestreamed on the Chief of Staff of the Army’s Facebook page.
