OPPO partners with Japanese architect Kengo Kuma for Milan Design Week 2021 to create multisensory landmark installation Bamboo (竹) Ring :|| Weaving a Symphony of Lightness and Form

OPPO

MILAN, ITALY – Media OutReach - 6 September 2021 - OPPO the smart device manufacturer and innovator has partnered with Japanese architect Kengo Kuma to create Bamboo (竹) Ring:|| Weaving a Symphony of Lightness and Form. The multi-sensory installation works to the theme “Creative Connections” by fusing Architecture with Music, design innovation, technological prowess, and user experience to create a sense of time and space, and will be on display in Milan’s Cortile dei Bagni courtyard for the duration of Milan Design Week, until 19 September. This landmark project is an evolution of Kengo Kuma and OPPO’s Bamboo Ring exhibition which debuted at the 2019 edition of the London Design Festival and explored the harmonious relationship between humans and nature through the envisioning of lightweight yet strong structures made with bamboo and carbon fiber. This year, OPPO’s experiential installation uses pioneering technology to engage all the senses through a series of orchestral scores composed by Japanese violinist Midori Komachi with Musicity. The composition is based on the cycle of seasons and moves through the structure encouraging the public to walk around and be captured by its aural narrative. The changing soundscapes integrate the sound of Midori's violin (built in Milan in 1920 and enhanced with carbon fiber itself) from O Relax, OPPO's digital wellbeing application that offers comforting nature and city sounds to relax your mind taken from locations around the globe including Reykjavik, Beijing, and Tokyo. “OPPO is a human-centric brand, our focus is on innovating for the people. We are delighted to partner with Kengo Kuma again, an architect who is known for seamlessly integrating nature and culture. Together, we demonstrate how we can use technology and design to add value to our daily lives drawing on our philosophy principles of "Technology as an Art Form" and our brand mission "Technology for Mankind, Being Kind to the World.” – Jintong Zhu, Head of OPPO London Design Centre The installation’s woven structure – crafted from rings of bamboo and carbon fiber – becomes a musical instrument as music travels through it via structural sound technologies originating from OPPO London Design Centre's research. Innovative technology including new haptic motors, MEMS speaker strips, and exciters work together to produce an immersive base and higher frequencies which reverberate the bamboo with Violin's vibrato and the effect of a percussion instrument. “When I design architecture, I’m interested in designing the rhythm and the tone rather than the silhouette, and contemporary music gives us many lessons about how to create new rhythms and tones in architecture. This pavilion is one of the explorations into the new rhythms and tones in architecture combining visual and acoustic experiences of the visitors.” – Kengo Kuma, architect After Milan Design Week, OPPO will donate Bamboo Ring to Arte Sella Park in Trentino, Italy, a contemporary art museum with outdoor exhibits made from natural materials and backdropped by the mountainous Sella Valley, where it will find its permanent home. About OPPO OPPO is a leading global smart device brand. Since the launch of its first smartphone - “Smiley Face” - in 2008, OPPO has been in relentless pursuit of the perfect synergy of aesthetic satisfaction and innovative technology. Today, OPPO provides a wide range of smart devices spearheaded by the Find and Reno series. Beyond devices, OPPO provides its users with the ColorOS operating system and internet services like OPPO Cloud and OPPO+. OPPO operates in more than 40 countries and regions, with 6 Research Institutes and 4 R&D Centers worldwide, as well as an International Design Centre in London. OPPO’s more than 40,000 employees are dedicated to creating a better life for customers around the world. https://www.oppo.com/ @oppo #OPPOMilanDesignWeek About Kengo Kuma Kengo Kuma (b.1954) decided to pursue architecture at a young age, after seeing Kenzo Tange's Yoyogi National Gymnasium for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. He studied Architecture at The University of Tokyo (completing a Masters in 1979) and established Kengo Kuma & Associates in 1990. As Professor at the Graduate School of Architecture at The University of Tokyo, he set up the Kuma Lab to research new materials and conduct a course in advanced digital design and fabrication. His award-winning firm aims to design architecture which naturally merges with its surroundings, proposing gentle, human-scaled buildings. The office is constantly in search of new materials to replace concrete and steel, and seeks a new approach in a post-industrial society.

U.S. Treasury Department's CDFI Fund Announces Fiscal Year 2020 NMTC Awards

New Markets Tax Credit Coalition

The U.S. Department of the Treasury's CDFI Fund announced the Calendar Year 2020 New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) allocation awards today. The CDFI Fund awarded $5 billion to 100 Community Development Entities (CDEs) from 34 states and the District of Columbia. "The federal New Markets Tax Credit is a unique and flexible community development tool with a successful track record, attracting investment capital and boosting economic activity in low-income areas," said Bob Rapoza, spokesman for the NMTC Coalition. "In fact, the NMTC has leveraged an unprecedented level of investment to low-income communities—generating about $110 billion in total capital investment through public-private partnerships that created more than one million jobs." The CDFI Fund indicated 208 CDEs applied for allocations for a total demand of $15.1 billion in tax credits. However, with 100 successful applications (56%) receiving $5 billion, the availability of credits only meets a fraction of the true demand in communities across America. Established in 2000 in the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act (P.L.106-554), the New Markets Tax Credit is a bipartisan effort to stimulate investment and economic growth in low-income urban neighborhoods and rural communities. The NMTC provides a shallow federal tax credit of 39 percent, taken over seven years, for investments in census tracts where the individual poverty rate is at least 20 percent or where the median family income does not exceed 80 percent of the area median. In 2020, 85 percent of NMTC activity was in America's poorest rural and urban communities, characterized by poverty of at least 30 percent and unemployment rates 1.5 times the national average. In addition, more than half of NMTC allocation goes to communities where a majority of residents are people of color. Of the $51 billion in NMTC allocation deployed through 2019, $27.8 billion went to majority-minority census tracts, creating 244,000 permanent jobs. The economic consequences of the coronavirus pandemic have hit especially hard on low-income communities and the small businesses serving those communities. For that reason, it is important to note that some $3.8 billion (78%) of NMTC allocation will be deployed as loans and investments in operating businesses in rural, tribal, and urban low-income communities. To date, the NMTC has financed more than 7,000 projects, including nearly 3,000 community services and facilities, such as hospitals, schools, daycare centers, and non-profit service providers – all in areas that were lacking access to quality facilities before the NMTC investments. As a result, more than 18 million patients have been treated in NMTC-financed healthcare projects, and over 200,000 children participate in youth enrichment programs or receive care in early childhood learning centers. At the end of 2020, Congress extended the Credit through 2025 at $5 billion in annual credit authority, the largest ever NMTC extension. There is currently bipartisan legislation in Congress aimed at expanding the allocation level and investor base of the NMTC as well as making it permanent. The NMTC Extension Act of 2021, H.R.1321 in the House and S.456 in the Senate. There are presently 21 Senators signed on in support of S.456, which was introduced by Senators Ben Cardin (D-MD) and Roy Blunt (R-MO). H.R.1680 currently has 88 cosponsors and is led by Reps. Terri Sewell (D-AL) and Tom Reed (R-NY). "The NMTC is a great deal for the federal government, leveraging eight dollars in other investments in communities for every dollar in credits. But, most importantly, the NMTC is a critical tool for our country's small, overlooked rural towns and blighted urban neighborhoods that have been left outside of the economic mainstream for far too long. At least $2.7 billion – 75 percent – will be targeted to highly distressed communities, and one-fifth of the 2020 awards will be made in rural communities, with about $1.1 billion in NMTC investments going to revitalize non-metropolitan counties," said Rapoza. For examples of how the NMTC is making an impact in each state, see the NMTC Coalition's NMTC at Work in Communities 2020 report or check out its Project Profile Database. The Coalition also released the 17th edition of its NMTC Progress Report on June 17, which documents the NMTC impact in Calendar Year 2020 and features a special section analyzing the effects of NMTC investments and pandemic response efforts. About New Markets Tax Credit Program 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, $110 billion is hard at work in underserved communities in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico. For more information, visit www.NMTCCoalition.org.

Revolve Law Group Announces Expansion Plans

Revolve Law Group

In Law360’s Glass Ceiling Report released less than a year ago, it was reported that female partners make up merely 25% of law firms across the country, while women make up 40% of all lawyers in the USA. These statistics illustrate a small picture of the imbalance in gender equality in the traditionally male-dominated industry, which is currently on track to achieve gender parity in equity partnerships in 160 years ( according to a 2015 analysis by The American Lawyer in its Special Report: Big Law Is Failing Women). In a time of global social and economic disruption, Revolve Law Group has embarked on a quest to elevate female equity in the law profession while setting new standards for respect, responsibility, and results. In a relative press release, Guy Kulandski, CEO and Co-Founder of Premonition, which is regarded as the world’s largest litigation database, stated that, “If female attorneys were compensated according to how often they actually win cases, they'd be paid more than men.” Driven by their core principles, Revolve Law Group’s partners design their interactions with clients and opposing counsel to listen more than most, consider what the optimal outcome actually means for all involved – including their opponents, create strategies that are tailor-made versus textbook, which puts the client on the team, and stresses transparent communication and compassion throughout the litigation process. This mosaic of distinct choices has proved to be a formulation for developing exceptionally satisfied clients while delivering superior results. Revolve’s collective team of partners is inspired to cultivate and expand their team of like-minded female professionals who are passionate about spearheading the next wave of change in the legal profession with unparalleled resolve to do so. “We’ve all heard and even used the words “The Future is Female” but the future is here, now. At Revolve Law Group, we are making daily choices that will drive change for female leadership in the legal profession, today, tomorrow and beyond.”–Kimberly Wright, Esq, Founder and Managing Partner About Revolve Law Group: Founded by Kimberly Wright, Esq and Jessica Monroe, Esq and CPA, Revolve Law Group was designed to position the client at the center of every collaboration. Dedicated to their core principles which guide their every move, the firm leads with determination, civility, curiosity, integrity, compassion and a dose of humor.

Self-Made Multimillionaire Shares Essential Lessons for Entrepreneurial Greatness

Greenleaf Book Group

Being a successful entrepreneur is exhilarating, but it’s not for the faint of heart. In business today, being good is merely an entry fee. In order to thrive, you must be exceptional. Nobody knows this better than Leslie McIntyre-Tavella, author of the Amazon Bestseller Framing Success: 20 Essential Lessons for Achieving Entrepreneurial Greatness from a Self-Made Multimillionaire (An Inc. Original, Aug 24, 2021). At 22-years-old, with an eleventh-grade education and the odds stacked against her, McIntyre-Tavella put a troubled past behind her and started her first business, which she bootstrapped into a $20 million award-winning staffing firm. Now, she’s created a new firm, Culpeo HR, to help business leaders build best-in-class organizations by improving customer engagement, optimizing HR services, creating culture and team alignment, and establishing leadership development. In launching Culpeo, McIntyre-Tavella applies the actionable advice offered in Framing Success, demonstrating how to overcome the odds, choose a better life, and build a successful organization from the ground up. “This book is broken into seven parts, with twenty key lessons that I learned by working in the trenches of a small business. As a successful entrepreneur, you must remain committed and focused to your vision, adopt an unwavering commitment to your company values, and be unrelenting in your mission to success. To maintain the highest level of customer retention and satisfaction, you must remain laser focused on recruiting and retaining best-in-class talent,” McIntyre-Tavella says. “I promise you, if you consistently focus on the small details, never lower your standards, and exhaustively remain committed to these efforts, you will build a strong, sustainable business.” Framing Success, which achieved Amazon Bestseller status in several categories, including Strategic Planning, Entrepreneurship & Small Business, and Women & Business, highlights Leslie McIntyre-Tavella’s keys to entrepreneurial success, including how to build a strong foundation to construct a solid business, find and secure a rock-star crew through strategic and unconventional talent optimization practices, cut through the distractions and noise of a business and quickly get to the root issues, provide outstanding engagement for your customers, and articulate, share, and grow your vision. Now you can use the hard-earned, practical, and invaluable insights Leslie McIntyre-Tavella did to scale her business to create your own rewarding blueprint for entrepreneurial triumph and success. Pick up your copy of Framing Success wherever great books are sold and stay updated on Leslie McIntyre-Tavella and Culpeo HR by visiting Culpeohr.com. About the Author: Leslie McIntyre-Tavella has devoted her entire career to people: counseling them, placing them in life-changing opportunities, and providing best-in-class talent to customers who pride themselves on “people first.” Leslie developed these skills by cultivating a culture that fostered teamwork and comradery, and she retained her employees twice as long as the industry standard. Finding, hiring, and retaining the right people is the secret sauce to building a solid foundation and the winning ingredient needed to succeed wildly! Leslie launched her first start-up organization thirty years ago to bring a different service paradigm to the recruiting and staffing industry. Her prior company became a $20 million company and won numerous awards, including first place in “Best Places to Work” and eleventh place for the Top Women-Owned Businesses in Connecticut.” Leslie is a progressive leader and entrepreneur who’s comfortable collaborating and engaging with C-suite executives in a wide range of industries. She has held leadership and membership roles in various industry groups, including a board position at Dress for Success and chairman for the Connecticut chapter of the American Staffing Association. Leslie has also written for several periodicals and magazines. After three years away from the staffing industry, Leslie had gained new insights on where there are gaps today in HR and optimization, customer engagement, culture and team alignment, and talent acquisition. Leslie’s new start-up focuses on managed services for human resources, customer engagement, and teaching firms how to optimize their talent pipeline. Culpeo HR, where culture meets people, partners with small businesses to enhance people, production, performance, and profitability. When Leslie is not spending time innovating and addressing customers’ needs, she is busy renovating homes, condos, and office buildings. She loves taking something that is shabby and rundown and giving it a new life. Leslie just finished her thirteenth renovation—a farmhouse and barn in Fairfield, Connecticut, where she currently resides with her husband. # # # More about Greenleaf Book Group Greenleaf Book Group is an independent publisher and distributor located in Austin, Texas, dedicated to empowering authors.

In addition to standard, non-adjusted benchmarks as historically reported, organizations who purchase an eligible survey report will receive complimentary COVID-19-adjusted work RVU and TCC per work RVU data – providing greater insight into the effect of the pandemic and enabling hospitals, health systems and medical groups to quickly measure the impact on compensation and productivity within their organizations. Newly available for purchase this year are three tiers of detailed productivity reporting – including monthly work RVU volumes by specialty in addition to individual CPT code level details. When combined with SullivanCotter’s innovative Benchmarks360™ platform, organizations can more effectively analyze and visualize this data with access to dynamic filters, multi-year coding profiles, and annual updates to CPT codes. SullivanCotter will also be offering adjusted benchmarks for total cash compensation, work RVUs, collections and other related ratios for use in conjunction with the 2021 Physician Fee Schedule. This includes proprietary data from SullivanCotter's 2021 surveys as well as other third-party market datasets (with appropriate licensing and non-disclosure agreements in place). The 2021 surveys are now available for purchase at SullivanCotter.com. To learn more about this year’s enhanced reporting and analyses, please contact surveys@sullivancotter.com or dial 888.739.7039.
