FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

CONTACT: Lee Lonsberry 202 225 0453

 

 

WASHINGTON – On Thursday, June 22, 2017 at 10:30 AM EDT in House Visitor Center (HVC) Room 210, the newly formed Task Force on Intergovernmental Affairs will hold its inaugural hearing. In May, Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced the creation of the Task Force, a bipartisan group of lawmakers focused on balancing the interests between federal and local governments. Rep. Rob Bishop (R-UT) has been appointed Chairman of the Task Force.

 

Ahead of the hearing, Speaker Ryan issued the following statement: “Federalism is a foundational principle of our Constitution, and Washington has so much to learn about how state and local leaders are driving innovation and responsive government. There’s no question we can all work as better partners, and I want to thank Chairman Bishop and the bipartisan group of lawmakers who have stepped forward to join this effort. More partnership, more subsidiarity and a willingness to listen and learn will go a long way. I look forward to participating in the process and seeing what the Task Force can produce.”

 

Task Force Chairman Rob Bishop said: “I’m looking forward to kicking off this important Task Force and hearing from some of our advisory council partners. Their ideas for rebalancing power in government is much needed. The vast experience these groups bring to the table will help us identify creative solutions to both procedural and policy problems facing our nation.”

ALT LAKE CITY IS BRACING FOR AN INVASION THE LIKES OF WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN SEEN IN 170 YEARS!

TOMORROW - Thursday, June 22, 2017 – 12:30pm

UTAH STATE FAIRPARK, SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah State Fairpark invites you to join us to hear all about the INVASION. BMWMOA (BMW Motorcycle Owners Association) representatives will be in town to talk about and prepare Salt Lake City for the invasion we are about to see.

In 1848 seagulls were credited for saving the Mormon pioneers’ second crop, thus the MIRACLE OF THE GULLS. In 2017 the 45th Annual BMW MOA International Rally will invade the Salt Lake Valley with more than 6500 BMW motorcycles. That’s right, more than 6500 riders will descend upon the valley and more specifically, the Utah State Fairpark.

The Rally will be held on July 13 - 16, 2017, at the Utah State Fairpark. The Fairpak’s 65 acres will host the riders, most of which will camp onsite. Seminars, concerts, commercial vendors, food, entertainment, riding schools, and a vintage motorcycle display will encompass the four day event. The multimedia closing ceremony will be the first event to be held in the new Fairpark Arena.

The theme of this year’s rally is Crossroads of the West – Find your Crossroads.

Please join us tomorrow.

CONVIRZA AUTOMATES CUSTOM SEGMENTATION FOR CALL TRACKING

DRAPER, UTAH, UNITED STATES, June 21, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Today Convirza introduced Custom Sources, a new feature upgrade for all existing and future customers on the Convirza for Advertisers platform. The enhancement allows companies to fine-tune their phone call data collection and marketing campaigns.

Call tracking customers rely on data to make decisions and run their businesses. This enhanced capability enables customizable, detailed phone call tagging which in turn increases call flow insights. Companies may now assign multiple user-defined sources to call flows taking attribution to the next level. Custom Sources can also be leveraged by advanced advertisers for A/B testing

“The companies we serve thrive on precision and robust data,” said Nissa Farley, Vice President of Product. “This product upgrade tracks and packages phone calls individually, the way our customers want to see them.”

Call tracking is used to trace phone calls from online or offline sources. Companies link phone numbers to specific sources, like a radio ad or web page. When consumers make a phone call, the call tracking software registers the source and directs the call to the designated location. This allows companies to monitor marketing performance and record phone calls. Convirza then processes the calls with its call scoring solution for numerous metrics.

Joanna Olarte-Pepino takes readers on meaningful ‘Road Trip’

New book tells story about how one can learn from encountering different phases of life on road

MORTON GROVE, Ill. – Whenever Joanna Olarte-Pepino goes for a routine car ride with her daughter, she always teaches her about the stoplights red, yellow and green and what they stand for. From there, it inspired her to write “Road Trip” (published by Xlibris), a book about the road and how it relates to everyday life.

 

The book tells a story about how one can learn from encountering different phases of life on the road. It depicts how life can sometimes be fun, exciting and smooth and other times rough, unsure and unpredictable. The stoplights red, yellow and green depict different aspects in one’s life. The book will remind readers that the road has both its beauty and imperfections, but it is definitely worth the ride.

 

“Traveling the road of life is something everyone has to go through and experience,” Olarte-Pepino says. “The book is all the inevitable bumps and curves in the road, the importance of resiliency in a person and appreciating the beauty of life along with all its imperfections.”

 

“Road Trip” will remind readers that life is not perfect and it will have its ups and downs. It is about having a positive attitude and the resiliency to overcome obstacles because as Olarte-Pepino says, “life is still beautiful and it is worth the ride.”
