Pennsylvania, US, OCT 4, 2020, ZEXPRWIRE,Talented self-published author and poet, Michael Kelso, talks about the downfall of professional football in his new novel titled “Endzone”
“Endzone” is the first young adult novel from Michael Kelso, as the author of a published crime fiction novel and several self-published horror short story collections delves into the world of professional football. The novel centers on the friendship of an American football player with a 12-year-old football fan, Billy Watkins, and how their relationship exposes young Billy to the darker side of the sport.
American football has broken all barriers, conquering territories across international borders to become one of the most popular games in the world. Michael Kelso is taking lovers of good literature on a journey into the world of American football with his newest self-published novel, “Endzone,” which was officially released on September 18, 2020.
The fiction novel might attract controversies, as it talks about the downfall of professional football and a side of the game that is seemingly oblivious to the public. “Endzone” is particularly unique as it considers the current uproar of pro football players using their profession as a political platform and the fans backlash at it.
The story of “Endzone” is told through the eyes of Billy Watkins. From drugs and shady deals to the commissioner of the Professional Football Association, a fictional league created by the author, and his lies, to kneeling players, the book tells the story of how Billy decided to take a stand against the corruption in the system.
“Endzone” touches on the current dissatisfaction with pro football, speaking to both young fans who still like football and also older fans who have grown weary of the politicizing of the sport and the actions of those who are pushing their agenda onto fans.
Lovers of American football and young adult novels find out if the commissioner will merely dismiss him, or if Billy’s courage will win the day and help his friend?
Michael Kelso is a husband, father, author, and former corrections officer. His crime fiction novel has been traditionally published, as well as self-publishing several horror short story, winning several horror writing awards.

Hollywood, CA, OCT 2, 2020, ZEXPRWIRE – Marvin Hayes, the music-video acting director and producer at the movie and television industry as the pandemic halts Hollywood Production. Marvin Hayes has (5) active feature-film projects in development. Marvin Hayes also has his toe in the world of music-videos with the slate of RappnsangnmoneyrouteLLC artist RSMJ and RSDeshawn.
The movie, Man Made: A family freed from slavery, though bound with the woes of the uneducated, struggle to live their expectations of the American Dream is a story of a family who by virtue of the situation of the state of civil injustice and political divide, they were deprived of their rights and lost lots of their ambitious goals and great imagined visions on the track of making hands meet.
A few line of the story goes thus: In the year of 1865, released into the tirade of civil injustice and political divide, the promise land they arrived turned out to be the first stage in the destruction of self preservation and heritage blindness among the colored descendants.
The Thomas family comes to acquire some acres of land in a southern Negro settlement, but soon after hearing the news of the death of Abraham Lincoln, they found themselves in a war that knocked down their destiny to be stunted. Bayonet- toting soldiers were sent by the United States Government to retrieve the land and return it to the former slave owners, Jasper Thomas, Jr., son of the freed slave Jasper Thomas finds himself lost in the chaos at age of 6 and is swept away never to see his family again but made a new family with two girls and this breaks the dynasty of his story line that caused him finally dead at the stage of recreation and remodeling of his determination.
If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching, or cool one pain, or help on fainting robin unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain.
This is the focus of Sisily Thomas, the wife to Jasper Thomas and she eventually made life for their two girls, though not to the taste.
London, UK Oct 1, 2020, ZEXPRWIRE, Some songs have an immense amount of depth. A presentation that is anthemic, like literature. A story with many chapters, or a chapter of one big story. The current one the world is facing with the current Coronavirus/COVID19 pandemic is one that is not only powerful, but all too real as well. And that’s where Matulla‘s “Silence In London” comes in, how it has affected us, and the awareness of the impact the virus has had on thousands of people worldwide.
Comprised from the heart and mind of German indie artist/author Matulla, acclaimed for his work on “Lost On The Way”, the setting for this Rock anthem features UK-based Midnight Prophecy lead singer Craig, a high-ranged vocalist with a charismatic presence and a knack for his attention to detail and precision in powerful vocal melodies and insatiable performance skills both on stage and in the studio. 2020 has been a year of challenges, trials and tribulations alike. But the Coronavirus/COVID19 in particular has been sweeping the world at large in big numbers causing travel bans, quarantines, job loss, illness, and worst of all, death. This revolutionary track not only shines a bright light on the awareness of the pandemic, but the many levels of how it has affected our world at large through the melody of a powerful Rock song. Recorded, written, produced and performed solely by Matulla with Craig filling in the vocal duties, this song grabs you from the second it starts. The high-gain guitar riffs are very effective and conjure an intelligently crafted lead-in into high ranged story-telling vocals and lyrics that compliment the song’s overall aura. This song rocks, rolls, and tells a powerful story told in real time; making “Silence In London” a loud message for the masses about a story that is all too real. In a time of urgency, uncertainty and dark hours and days, it’s powerful songs like this that really get us to reflect on our own lives and the others around us as well. This track really puts the focus on the victims of the pandemic and awareness factor, giving the listener a perspective that not only resonates with them, but also entices them to reflect as well, reminding us that we should never take our lives for granted, and that the story you’re hearing is one that you are part of. This song is dedicated to anyone and everyone that is directly or indirectly affected by COVID19.

US, Oct 1, 2020, ZEXPRWIRE, Cyberthreats were already at the top of the agenda for most Financial Institutions (FIs), pre-pandemic. However, they have taken on a whole new meaning in a context where institutions’ financials are squeezed on multiple fronts–from low interest rates, to increased capital spending, to digital transformation, and growing loan losses. The complexity and the cost of shielding themselves and their clients, compounded by the losses coming from successful attacks and punitive regulatory fines (a very recent example being Capital One fined $80 million for the 2019 hack of 100 million credit card applications) are making the situation very challenging for banks. If you add to that the shortage of expertise combined with the acceleration of digital transformation initiatives, it is easy to see a looming disaster. FIs have to up their game, quickly and materially, meaning: 1) allocate more capital to cybersecurity strategies (in many instances they need to develop such a strategy in the first place), 2) increase the mindshare of the Board & C-Suite regarding the issue, and 3) alter their approach from being reactive to proactive/predictive when it comes to cyber-threats. Smaller institutions, such as T2-3 banks, will have the most difficulty adapting due to the additional challenge of supporting these sizable costs with a smaller profit base.
Parallel to developing a holistic cybersecurity strategy and allocating more capital, several further steps will help large and small players to face down this potential Armageddon. The first and best option would be to develop an industry utility/ Center of Excellence/institute pooling resource out of large and small FIs in areas such as anti-fraud security, predictive intelligence, and autonomous systems. Doing so would accelerate their agenda and make it more financially palatable. Clearly, the current limited collaboration between banks won’t cut it (such collaboration is often limited to sharing information once a threat has been detected, which happens on average less than six months after an attack has taken place and companies have been breached). The second option would be less ambitious, but still helpful: heightened collaboration between banks, such as sharing strategies, best practices, and results from pilots/POCs. Along that line, if T1 banks would commercialize some of their cyber infrastructure to T2-T3 banks, it would allow smaller banks to operate more safely.
Cybersecurity is too important a topic for our economies and societies to ignore. If even a couple of institutions were to fall due to cyberattacks, we would be back to the bailout dynamic of the financial crisis, which would endanger stability, erode confidence in the system, and be extremely costly to the taxpayers. No one wins in this scenario, even the unaffected banks.
From an investor perspective, due to the growing risks associated with cyberattacks, banks are becoming inherently riskier investments while returns, due to the costs of putting solid, holistic cybersecurity strategies in place, are decreasing. This emerging trend has not yet permeated most analysts’ reports, despite its inexorability. Investors will have to get smarter regarding cybersecurity when allocating capital in the financial services space. The silver lining would be for banks to take the lead in packaging and commercializing their cybersecurity capabilities, as well as for some of them to take the lead in creating a cybersecurity industry utility.
More barriers to entry and less attractive risk/return profile for early-stage Fintechs
These days, banks’ CISO groups will more rigorously scrutinize B2B Fintechs during the procurement process. Considering the already punitive and lengthy process (akin to a colonoscopy) in most FIs, that might be difficult to envision. However, any banks that are intensifying their cybersecurity focus will look with renewed interest at their partners’ cybersecurity practices in order to mitigate their own risks. Fintechs that touch clients’ data, in particular, can expect longer sales cycles and more costs and challenges to be involved in partnering with large banks. This is not good news, especially for early-stage companies.
Another unintended consequence might be an FIs reluctance to announce their partnership with Fintechs to the world, in order to avoid visibility on another vulnerability point. This reluctance translates to less “free” PR for the Fintechs..
Given B2C Fintechs’ own exposure to end-clients (akin to banks), there is a burning need to up the cybersecurity game. This need becomes an even bigger challenge for typically cash-strapped, early stage companies.
Similar to the FI dynamic already discussed, Fintechs also need to increase their collaboration with one another to alleviate the burden of costs and improve client protection. The value of an industry utility is even greater for Fintechs than for banks; if T1 banks already struggle to adequately protect themselves, most Fintechs will face even greater pressures.
The risk-return profile of existing Fintechs is negatively impacted by increased cyberthreats, and as with banks, investors have not yet discounted this dynamic in their valuation process. Once the de-rating exercise takes place, it could create more barriers to entry when it comes to launching new Fintechs (on top of requiring them to raise more capital to address the cybersecurity conundrum). The opportunity for some Fintechs to pivot and commercialize their cybersecurity capabilities might in some cases be a great avenue.

CA, Oct 1, 2020, ZEXPRWIRE, Before choosing the right certified translation service provider in San Francisco or the Bay Area, CA. There are a few important steps you have to follow. Here in this article, we include some of the most important recommendations. When you decide to shop around for your professional certified language service or translation service provider you need to:
1- Stay Local: Our first advice to you is to stick with your neighborhood, and with your Bay Area location. Whether you need a certified document translation or certified interpretation services in the Bay Area, time zone does matter.
The most important advantage of staying local is that you will be in the same time-zone. For example when you need any urgent updates on your translated documents or any rush revision. Also, you will be able to drop off your document, or pickup up your translation from your local office.
2-Focus on Quality VS Price: Do not be lured with the advertised online cheap prices which is always unrealistic. Those cheap online services might be using machine translations, and they might also be operating from their websites only. So they are not local and do not have a physical location.
For any certified translation services, you need a company with a physical address. Because you do not want a company from New York to translate your document in California. The location of the company that will do your certified translation is important for official purposes.
3- Choose a Company with Physical Presence: As mentioned above, choose a translation company with a physical presence inside the Bay Area. You need to choose a company with a professional address where you can visit on the premises, and drop off your important documents.
Most the time the certificates you need to translate include sensitive information, like names, date of birth, address …etc. So you do do not need to take a chance with sending those documents through a website who operates in a different state, or even a different country sometimes.
4- Do your Good Research on BBB: Do some research online when it comes to the reputation of the company you are choosing. Especially on some official websites like Better Business Bureau. On this website, for example, make sure that the company’s business reputation is not less than A+.
At Elite TransLingo we are certified translation and interpretation service providers in the Bay Area. We do meet all the above mentioned important standards. We are local, quality fanatics, with a professional physical presence in the Bay Area. Not to mention the fact that we are a BBB A+ certified translation company.
