House bill would revive mothballed Nevada nuclear waste dump
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House on Thursday approved an election-year bill to revive the mothballed nuclear waste dump at Nevada's Yucca Mountain despite opposition from home-state lawmakers. Supporters say the bill would help solve a nuclear-waste storage problem that has festered for more than three decades. More than 80,000 metric tons of spent fuel from commercial nuclear power plants sit idle in 121 communities across 39 states. The bill would direct the Energy Department to continue a licensing process for Yucca Mountain while also moving forward with a separate plan for a temporary storage site in New Mexico or Texas.

AgreeYa Solutions to Showcase Cogent 5.3 at 2018 NCBA Spring Conference
Global Leader of Software, Solutions and Services to Showcase Intelligent Collections and Case Management Software at Nation's Leading Credit Summit
FOLSOM, Calif., May 10, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AgreeYa Solutions—a leading global software, solutions and services company—is pleased to announce that it will exhibit at the 2018 NCBA (National Creditors Bar Association) Spring Conference taking place May 16-19 at the JW Marriott in Austin, Texas. Introducing the newest version of its comprehensive collections and case management solution, Cogent 5.3, AgreeYa will showcase its intelligent platform designed from the ground up and tailored specifically to meet the unique demands of creditor's rights law firms, accounts receivable and collection agencies.
"We look forward to sharing the features and advantages of Cogent 5.3, as well as success stories that demonstrate how the easy-to-use software is revolutionizing collections processes for our customers," says Ajay Kaul, managing partner of AgreeYa Solutions. "Particularly for firms and agencies specializing in creditor’s rights and collections, where increasing industry regulations present greater challenges, new technology is required not only to automate key business processes and eliminate redundant systems but also to help transition from legacy systems to leading-edge capabilities—and stay competitive."
Cogent simplifies collections and litigation processes, allowing organizations to better manage their collections and litigations while ensuring optimization and compliance. The all-in-one platform provides custom analytics and dashboards and robust integration capacity to help meet evolving industry and customer needs, as well as the ability to build custom processes without writing a single line of code. In addition to reducing the overall total cost of ownership (TCO), Cogent provides these potential cost-saving benefits:
· 25 percent increase in annual collection revenue, year over year.
· 43 percent optimization in annual compliance.
· 40 percent of annual savings in labor hours.
The latest update to the Cogent platform, Cogent 5.3, introduces improvements including an upgrade to Microsoft’s .NET 4.5 Framework, optimized media and document management, four new client and vendor interfaces and a new AR code feature that enables firms to audit the amount of work required to accomplish a task tied to a code. The new version also incorporates additional keyboard shortcuts, new actions and bug fixes.
The nation’s leading credit conference, NCBA attracts more than 750 attendees comprised of creditor's rights attorneys, as well as creditors and industry professionals, and works with over 3,000 lawyers specializing in creditor’s rights at 594 law firms and other creditor’s rights organizations in 50 states, Canada and Puerto Rico. Attendees of the event will have the opportunity to experience a hands-on review of Cogent and learn how this intelligent collection and case management software can provide greater efficiency, analytical capability and operational synergies for firms that concentrate in the area of accounts receivable collection and creditor's rights.
AgreeYa's team of experts will be available throughout the conference to demonstrate and explain the superior benefits of the new Cogent platform that provides unparalleled capacity, scalability and suitability, while delivering an immediate performance upgrade for firms handling the complexities of legal and collection activities.

EEStor Capacitor Technology Expected to Disrupt Pricing in Renewable Energy Market
EEStor Materials Expected to Allow Licensees to Produce Smaller and Cheaper Capacitors
TORONTO and AUSTIN, Texas, May 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EEStor Corporation (TSX-V:ESU) (“EEStor” or the “Company”) has developed a hybrid capacitor dielectric material (glass-CMBT) that is shown in independent third party testing to provide higher permittivity at a significantly reduced cost to existing capacitor technologies, and is anticipated to benefit the US$2.3 billion plastic film capacitor industry. Licensees of the technology would have access to these proprietary materials to manufacture capacitors for the next generation infrastructure, power supply, propulsion, wind, solar, wave and geothermal energy markets. Market Research Future projects the global film capacitor market to increase to US$2.7 billion by 2023.Ceramic capacitors produced using EEStor materials have the same capacitance as commercially available plastic film capacitors, yet are up to 92 percent smaller. A reduction in size translates to a reduction in cost as less raw material is required for manufacturing and ceramic dielectric materials are less expensive than metallized plastic film to produce. Independent testing found that material costs were up to 1,195% more for commercial film capacitors than for the EEStor CMBT-glass capacitors.^1
According to EEStor Founder and CEO Ian Clifford, “We expect the development of this new dielectric material to revolutionize the pricing structure of the green energy market and give licensees of our technology a significant competitive advantage in producing materials for the emerging high-tech economy.”
Film capacitors are used in power grid distribution systems, the green energy sector in solar, wind, and wave energy generation systems, and in electric and hybrid vehicles. EEStor has published a Market Report outlining the key benefits of its technology in these emerging renewable markets.
EEStor is in the process of establishing licensee relationships to pursue multiple vertical market opportunities. Licensees will gain access to EEStor’s intellectual property for the purpose of designing and building commercial capacitors using EEStor’s patented CMBT dielectrics and its associated manufacturing and assembly know-how and expertise.
EEStor has tested its capacitors made of Composite Modified Barium Titanate (CMBT) dielectric materials extensively using three independent companies - Intertek, Radiant Technologies and MRA Laboratories. Additional testing was conducted in side-by-side comparisons of competitive products and confirmed the findings of the reduced size and cost of EEStor capacitors.
*About EEStor *
EEStor is a developer of high energy density solid-state capacitor technology utilizing the Company’s patented Composition Modified Barium Titanate (CMBT) material. The Company is focused on licensing opportunities for its technology across a broad spectrum of industries and applications.
The Company’s success depends on the commercialization of its technology. There is no assurance that EEStor will be successful in the completion of the various enhancement phases underway to warrant the anticipated licensing opportunities in the technology. Readers are directed to the "Risk Factors" disclosed in the Company’s public filings.

KP Consulting Selects Bravatek as its Marketing Alliance Partner
Bravatek now extends its network to Guam
AUSTIN, Texas, May 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bravatek Solutions, Inc. (OTC Pink:BVTK) (“Bravatek” or the “Company”) announces that it has entered into a Strategic Alliance Agreement with KP Consulting, a Guam-based systems integration consulting services business. In this arrangement, Bravatek will offer a business advisory role to KP Consulting for prospective clients in the private and public sectors.KP Consulting and its management team have over 20 years experience in Guam and throughout most of the Asia-Pacific region. Guam is a territory of the United States and is the largest, southernmost island in the Mariana Islands archipelago. Its strategic location in the Pacific is the core to its two largest industries: Tourism and Military.
President of KP Consulting Karl Pangelinan stated: “My partner Matt Giger and I each have over 20 years on the island working with commercial, real estate, retail and tourism-based services. Each of these sectors requires the current ‘state of the art’ in cyber security systems. Bravatek’s EcryptOne, along with its future consumer software product, are well suited for the Guam market.”
Matt Giger added: “Karl and I have also worked with many of the military outfits locally. In recent years, the military bases here have seen unprecedented buildup across all branches. The support functions that both small and enterprise-sized businesses provide to these Federal accounts need to be protected from unwanted, outside penetration. We have enjoyed an excellent working relationship with the local government and private sector. The same can be said for our working relationship with the military. While a majority of the decisions are made locally, we are aware that some are also made in areas we don’t have coverage in. With the support of Bravatek, we will now have a partner with the right network and accessibility in Washington D.C., where some of the other decisions are made.”
Dr. Thomas A. Cellucci, Bravatek’s Chairman & CEO, commented: “This strategic alliance with KP Consulting should allow us to tap into more global, large critical infrastructure monitoring and security markets.

Bestselling Author and Spokesperson, Makaila Nichols Shares Strategies for Supporting Teens in New Speaker Series
Normal Teen, Abnormal Life – Peer-to-Peer Advice on Navigating Life as a Teen
DALLAS (PRWEB) May 11, 2018
Author, model, and actress Makaila Nichols began her high fashion career at age 14, and released her first book, Blatantly Honest: Normal Teen, Abnormal Life (Brown Books Publishing Group) in 2016. Drawing from her personal experiences, Blatantly Honest offers peer-to-peer inspiration and advice on everything from relationships to bullying.
“I wanted to turn my experiences and difficulties into a platform that could truly reach and help others my age,” says Nichols. “Teenagers should talk about their problems with others and be able to make a change in their lives.”
Makaila is a featured speaker at the Achieve Momentum Now Conference on Thursday, May 17, 2018 at the historic Majestic Theatre in Dallas, Texas. Ms. Nichols joins nine top professionals on the program for this motivational showcase. Makaila’s presentation, “Normal Teen, Abnormal Life – Peer-to-Peer Advice on Navigating Life as a Teen,” shares her techniques and strategies for supporting teens. Some of the topics covered include: communication, bullying, body image, physical assault, and building confidence. “Perhaps I grew up too quickly, but it’s hard for me to grow ‘back down,’ so to speak, although often I wish I could. Ultimately, I think my experience in a high-profile industry (modeling) and my life choices have made me stronger and more confident,” Nichols commented.
Currently attending the University of Central Florida studying advertising, marketing, and public relations, Makaila is a member of Delta Delta Delta sorority, and serves as its Body Image Chair. She is a contributing writer for Girls’ Life magazine, as well as a National Ambassador for The Great American No Bull Challenge, an organization which addresses bullying in school systems throughout the country. Makaila also continues her thriving entertainment career, represented by AURA Model Management in New York City.
