Major Changes Made in Direct Citizenship by Investment Program for Dominica

Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Wednesday, January 4th 2017 [ME NewsWire]

Good news for all the business persons and investors who are looking to get citizenship and second passport for Dominica. Amid a major move, the age limit to qualify for dependents has been changed to 28 years from the existing 25 years.

The Government of Dominica has also decreased the government fee for applying for the Direct Citizenship by Investment Program. Dominica is creating a framework of modern, diversified, sustainable and resilient economic structures to meet the demands of a highly competitive global trading environment.  By getting a citizenship of Dominica, the aspirant gets access to travel to

more than 100 countries without visa including Schengen and UK..

“The Government of Dominica invites investments that will generate sustained economic growth and prosperity, and create jobs and business opportunities for their people. It is committed to continuing providing the legislative and administrative framework, and maximum fiscal and technical support necessary to encourage investment and attain these goals,” said Lt Col (Retd) BS Sandhu, Chairman and Managing Director, WWICS Group.

In order to be considered eligible, the main applicant must be at least 18 years of age and must meet all the Dominica immigration requirements outlined below. The Commonwealth of Dominica citizenship by investment program has no language, business experience, or educational requirements, and there is no mandatory interview. The economically secure country with a parliamentary democracy enjoys one of the highest standards of living in the Caribbean Islands.

It has no taxes for non-residents, has the lowest crime rate in the entire region and is arguably one of the most naturally beautiful places on earth with lush green mountains, countless pristine rivers and waterfalls, and stunning white and black sandy beaches.

The Commonwealth of Dominica offers one of the cheapest citizenship by investment program in the world with reputable second passports starting at only $100,000 USD. The Caribbean citizenship program's investment criteria were originally scheduled to increase significantly in August 2016, with the minimum price of a Dominica passport rising 75% to $175,000. This major cost increase has now been put on hold until 2017, so if you are interested in becoming a Dominica citizen, the time is now.

WWICS can help you in applying for the Direct Citizenship by Investment program in Dominica. It is a world leader in resettlement and has over two decades of expertise in making thousands of people settle down in country of their choice.

Quanergy S3 Solid State LiDAR, the World's First Affordable Solid State LiDAR Sensor, to Begin Full Scale Manufacturing in 2017

 Breakthrough LiDAR sensor, winner of CES 2017 Best of Innovation Award, will power applications in self-driving vehicles, industrial automation, robotics, drones, and security

SUNNYVALE, Calif. - Tuesday, January 3rd 2017 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Quanergy Systems, Inc., the leading provider of solid state LiDAR sensors and smart sensing solutions, today announced that it will begin production and delivery of its revolutionary S3 LiDAR system for numerous markets in 2017.

The S3 is the world’s first and only automotive-grade solid state LiDAR system, and the clear industry leader in cost, capability, and reliability. The manufacturing and commercial availability of S3 marks a critical step in accelerating innovation in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle (AV) systems. 80% of transportation accidents are potentially avoidable with the integration of affordable LiDAR sensor solutions. The commercial availability of S3 LiDAR will also advance application development in areas as diverse as industrial automation, robotics, drones, security, smart home, and Internet of Things (IoT).

Quanergy’s leadership was recently recognized by a preeminent panel of independent industrial designers, independent engineers and members of the trade media, when it received the coveted 2017 CES Best of Innovation Award for the vehicle intelligence category. The company unveiled its vision for the S3 at CES in 2016. Over the course of 2016, the company has made strong progress in partnerships and product development. Quanergy has entered into a strategic commercialization partnership with Sensata Technologies (NYSE: ST) for the ground transportation space, and a contract manufacturing partnership with Flex (NASDAQ: FLEX) for all other markets, to bring this revolutionary technology to market.

“We believe that 2017 will be the year that LiDAR demonstrates that it can be an affordable, reliable mass market product,” said Dr. Louay Eldada, Chief Executive Officer, Quanergy Systems, Inc. “There is high customer demand for lower cost, more reliable high-end sensor systems. The S3 is the only product that can satisfy this demand and deliver true solid state 3D sensing at a reasonable price. We’re in a unique position to finally bring this technology to market, and enable amazing innovation in self-driving and machine vision applications.”

The compact S3 sensor can be concealed into the body of any vehicle, ensuring uncompromised design aesthetics and aerodynamics. Its ability to perform dependable real-time 3D mapping and object detection, tracking and classification, enables autonomous driving.

“The high cost and low reliability of LiDAR systems have been fundamental barriers to the adoption of self-driving vehicles,” said Steve Beringhause, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Sensata Technologies. “Sensata is proud to partner with Quanergy to deliver a groundbreaking automotive-grade product that can enable the next age of transportation. The S3 system fits seamlessly into automotive architectures and we believe that it will be the clear industry leader in cost and reliability.”

Quanergy will demonstrate its award-winning sensor and 3D smart sensing solutions January 5-8 at the 2017 CES trade show in Booth 4138, located in the north hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

PT&C|LWG Forensic Consulting Announces Corporate Rebranding, Changes Name to Envista Forensics

ATLANTA - Tuesday, January 3rd 2017 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- PT&C|LWG Forensic Consulting announced today that the Company has changed its name to Envista Forensics. This new brand captures the essence of the Company’s strength in investigation and conveys their global forensic consulting capabilities. The name change was made effective January 1, 2017.

In December 2014, PT&C|LWG Forensic Consulting was formed when Atlanta, GA based PT&C Forensics acquired Northbrook, IL based LWG Consulting. Both industry leading forensic engineering firms providing consulting services to the insurance and legal industries, the PT&C|LWG brand facilitated the smooth, global integration of two extremely successful organizations.

CEO Grover Davis said, “Two years ago, when PT&C and LWG joined forces, we believed it to be critically important that we convey to our clients, and especially to our associates, that we were one company and one brand with a common culture predicated on serving our clients with a sense of urgency. We believe that our combining the brands of these two great companies, at least for a period of time, coupled with our continued growth, successfully accomplished this. Now that we have had these two years to demonstrate that we truly are one company, it is time to take the next step. Our new brand, Envista Forensics, captures the essence of who we are, and who we continue to aspire to be.”

As PT&C|LWG, the organization has made exceptional progress including:

    Focused, strategic growth of their Canadian operations.
    Expansion of their successful digital forensics practice, through the May 2016 acquisition of Raleigh, North Carolina based Guardian Digital Forensics.
    Investments in internal finance, accounting and customer relationship management systems to ensure the successful continued growth of the organization.

Bob Wedoff, President of the firm, shared, “With its subtle reference to providing a clear view, our new name affirms our mission to provide ‘Certainty in an Uncertain World.’ The arc in our logo is clearly a nod to the proud history of our company, but its pairing with the checkmark announces our commitment not only to be the global choice for forensics, but also to be the employer of choice for smart, talented individuals who desire to serve others when it is most needed.”

About Envista Forensics

Envista Forensics is a global leader in forensic engineering & recovery solutions. We provide failure analysis, fire and explosion investigations, digital forensics, accident reconstruction, building consulting, geotechnical engineering, damage evaluations and equipment restoration services following disasters of all kinds.

Envista has served the insurance, legal and risk management industries for over 30 years. Our experts travel globally from over 30 offices located across Canada, the USA, Latin America, the U.K., Singapore and New Zealand.

Different Enables a Smarter Connected Home Experience

Making Smart Technologies Accessible

Bringing great smart home experience to more households and making the technologies more accessible is one of our big goals in the connected world. After conducting a series of studies on consumers’ pain points and needs, Lenovo designed the Lenovo Smart Assistant, a new mainstream digital personal assistant, with Amazon Alexa cloud-based voice services. Built in collaboration with Amazon, the elegantly designed Lenovo Smart Assistant recognizes users’ voice commands to conduct web searches, play music, create lists, calendar reminders and much more. And because Alexa’s brains are in the cloud, it means she’s always getting smarter. The Lenovo Smart Assistant is also designed to run Lenovo smart home devices, as well as scores of existing third-party products to expand user options.

Lenovo Smart Storage, rounding out our mainstream smart home offerings, is a secure digital storage solution with massive—6TB1—capacity, dual-band wireless access and multi-device auto-sync capabilities. Designed for security and P2P (peer-to-peer) access to stored media like photos, music and documents, Lenovo Smart Storage offers users quick control of data and files. Its integrated facial recognition software can organize an entire photo library based on faces with high accuracy.

Taking Control with the Lenovo 500 Multimedia Controller

With the explosive growth of internet-enabled smart TV, we built Lenovo 500 Multimedia Controller, a state-of-the-art wireless keyboard and mouse that fits in the palm of your hand and dramatically improves not just the way homeowners connect to their PCs, the web and displays, but re-defines the very notion of how a compact, Human Interface Device (HID) should look, feel and function. The keyboard area doubles as a Windows 10 gesture-supported, multi-touch capacitive touchpad – meaning that users can type like a normal keypad with their thumbs or glide their fingers across the surface like a touchpad.

1Actual available capacity is less and varies due to many factors, including formatting, partitioning and operating system, etc. which utilize part of this capacity. The available capacity may change with software updates.

Unlocking AR/VR Experiences with Phab 2 Pro Apps

The world’s first Tango™ enabled smartphone, the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro is now available online and on shelves, unlocking unique mobile AR experiences for smartphone users all over the world.
