Dynapower, a global leader in power conversion and energy storage solutions, has partnered with Alphastruxure and Montgomery County, Maryland to provide energy storage that will help provide uninterrupted power to the county's fleet of electric buses using on-site generation including renewable resources.

The Brookville Smart Energy Bus Depot uses an integrated system of solar, microgrid energy storage, and electric charging stations which will eventually power 70 electric buses (50% of the Brookville bus fleet) with 4.14 megawatts of charging capacity. Transitioning these 70 buses at the depot from diesel to electric, powered by the on-site clean energy microgrid, will reduce lifetime emissions by 62 percent, equivalent to more than 160,000 tons of greenhouse gases over the next 25 years.

Dynapower's 3 megawatt/4.3 megawatt hour CPS-i Integrated Energy Storage System provides the microgrid battery energy storage for the depot, storing power to charge the electric buses and enabling 100% operational capacity in the event of a grid outage. It also allows participation in a demand response program with Potomac Electric Power Company (Pepco), which supports regional grid performance and optimization for greater energy resilience for local residents and businesses.

Statewide, Maryland is working towards a 50 percent zero-emission bus fleet by 2030. The Brookville Smart Energy Bus Depot is aligned with the county's priorities to reduce emissions from public transportation while enhancing the resilience of the community and infrastructure assets.

"We're proud and honored to help support Montgomery County's efforts to move towards sustainability, electrification and climate resilience," said Adam Knudsen, General Manager of Dynapower. "This project aligns with our own goals of powering a cleaner planet and reducing carbon emissions worldwide."

Deployment follows similar rollouts in Belgium, France, Australia and New Zealand

LONDON - October 31, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Proxymity, the leading digital investor communication platform, announced today that J.P. Morgan has gone live with its digital proxy voting service, Vote Connect, in Denmark. The successful deployment follows similar rollouts in Belgium, France, Australia, and New Zealand.

Proxymity Vote Connect is the digital proxy service powered by Proxymity's investor communications platform. The service allows "golden source" meeting announcements and agendas to be published directly from issuers to investors. Investors can then send votes in real time to issuers or their agents without the need for manual intervention and receive digital confirmation that their votes have been cast, helping everyone in the ecosystem save both time and money.

For J.P. Morgan's Securities Services clients, the connection with Proxymity will continue to substantially improve their voting experiences, resulting in enhanced deadlines and further improving the vote confirmation process. 

Proxymity's digital-native platform has been built on highly scalable technology which allows secure end to end connectivity between issuers, issuer agents, custodians, and investors, providing transparency to all participants in the proxy voting chain. In addition, Proxymity natively ensures strict compliance with latest regulations including the EU Shareholder Rights Directive (SRD II). 

Speaking at the beginning of the Vote Connect rollout in October last year, Hannah Elson, Head of Global Custody, J.P. Morgan Securities Services said, "Investor communications are being transformed by replacing legacy manual processes with smart digital automation." She continued, "Working with Proxymity reflects our commitment to providing the most innovative solutions to improve client experience, at the same time as reducing the cost and complexity of providing even higher levels of service. We are delighted to be the first major global custodian to go live on this platform for Denmark."

In 2020, and again in 2022 as part of Proxymity's Series B fundraising, J.P. Morgan invested in Proxymity as part of an industry-leading consortium, recognising the benefits of a widely adopted platform across the investment ecosystem.

Dean Little, Co-Founder and CEO of Proxymity, said: "We are proud to grow and deepen our working relationship with J.P. Morgan, enabling them to extend Proxymity's solutions to their blue-chip clients across the world. This is another fantastic milestone that was made possible by the agility and dedication of the J.P. Morgan and Proxymity teams and is a great example for our industry of what can be achieved."

Fulton Books authors Laurie Ravin and Alexis Kantor, lifelong learners with a passion for the environment and telling stories, have completed their most recent book "Veridesian Tales: The Hidden Woodlands": a whimsical and potent story about the dangers of deforestation through the eyes of a girl with a unique gift to communicate with nature.

"In Veridesia," writes authors Ravin and Kantor, "the creatures are aware that Earth humans are the dominant creature, enjoying and using the gifts of their planet and all its life-forms while taking little to no responsibility for its welfare."

Published by Fulton Books, Ravin and Kantor's book takes readers on a journey through Veridesia, a magical woodland in California. To an ordinary human, Veridesia looks like any other forest. Only special humans, called Veridesians, can see the true wonder it contains. The highest of the Veridesians are called to be Guardians of their extraordinary land, protecting it from outside humans and preserving its magic. 

One such Veridesian, named Katt, inherited Guardianship at a very young age. For centuries, the creatures of Veridesia have depended on her Clan for protection from the "regular" world. Her abilities are still developing, but a dark change is looming. With the help of her animal friends, can Katt maintain peace and harmony in Veridesia despite sudden intrusions from the violent outside world? 

Laurie Ravin wrote "Veridesian Tales" with her granddaughter, Alexis Kantor. The duo say they have always shared a deep love of making up stories together, and now they bring that passion to readers. Ravin and Kantor have already begun writing the second installment in the "Veridesian Tales" series and hope that "the beauty of Veridesia will inspire readers to become positive, active influencers in taking responsibility for the current and future health of our planet by gaining more information, asking difficult questions, seeking employment in impactful fields, and being good to our planet in their daily practices."

Readers who wish to experience this gripping work can purchase "Veridesian Tales: The Hidden Woodlands" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Fulton Books author Linda Vagnetti, a retired Title 1 teacher of 28 years in a school district in Michigan, has completed her most recent book "Ralphy the Sequel and Now There Are Four: New Ralphy Sequel": an engaging story that follows Ralphy and his friends as they visit Lebean's great-aunt Etta on her houseboat. The group plans a great pumpkin-carving event together. 

Author Linda Vagnetti is married and has three children and four grandchildren. The children she taught in school gave her the idea of putting many stories in one book so that they didn't have to carry around smaller books. This encouraged reading in her students. 

Linda begins her story, writing, "I am Ralphy. It was the beginning of summer vacation from school. We were all told that next year, we would be the first sixth, seventh, and eighth middle-school tryout class. We didn't talk about it much just yet. Other things were on the minds of Jabber, Lebean, and me—alias the Awesome Trio."

She continues, "A family meeting had been called. This was not unusual except that all three of our families were involved. We had gone on several vacations together in the past few years. They had not gone that well at first—well, at least for one. Anyway, the meeting was at my house as my mom had brought up the subject."

Published by Fulton Books, Linda Vagnetti's book is an entertaining and imaginative children's story filled with fun and surprises.

Readers who wish to experience this creative work can purchase "Ralphy the Sequel and Now There Are Four: New Ralphy Sequel" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes & Noble.

Recent audiobook release 'My Opinions Just Some Thoughts' from Audiobook Network author Kara More is a candid exploration of the author's most intimate beliefs based around the current state of America and the world. Through her personal writings, More lays out her thought process on each topic and how she came to every one of her conclusions.

NEW YORK - October 28, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Kara More has completed her new audiobook "My Opinions Just Some Thoughts": a compelling read that reflects upon the author's thoughts surrounding important political and social topics that arise in modern society.

"I'm an opinionated person, and I like to analyze everything that happens. It might be the Irish in me to give opinions on just about everything because I've been this way since I can remember. This is why I've decided to write a book on current social and political issues," writes More. "Since I'm not a person who studies history, my opinions will be my own thoughts and conclusions with maybe a hint of history. Of course, everyone has their own opinions, and I respect the fact that their opinion may or may not agree with mine. But I have learned that I can always learn from reading or listening to others' opinions. That doesn't mean I'll change my opinion, but there are times that I have benefited from others' opinions. This open-minded way of thinking has given me a different way of thinking about a specific subject, but it doesn't change my values or my understanding of right and wrong. My opinion may not always be accurate or make sense to others. Hopefully, people will think about each opinion before they toss them aside. Maybe my opinion will encourage people to ask a friend or themselves what they think and may even create questions for a good debate, or even change a person's opinion. I'm hoping that people who read my opinions will not reject them because of their emotions, but rather, I hope that they think about what I've said and keep an open mind before they decide whether they accept or disagree with that opinion."

Published by Audiobook Network, author Kara More's new audiobook will help to spark conversation amongst listeners and encourage ongoing dialogue. By sharing her opinions, the author hopes listeners will find her thoughts witty and engaging, no matter if one agrees or not.

Listeners can purchase the audiobook edition of "My Opinions Just Some Thoughts" by Kara More through Audible, the Apple iTunes store, or Amazon.
