Alternative finance provider LDF Group will today announce the rebranding of its platform to White Oak UK, after it was bought by US business funding giant White Oak Global Advisors at the end of June.

The lender was acquired by the US firm as the “first step” of its UK expansion, after its chief executive Andre Hakkak said Europe represents “a large opportunity” for White Oak Global Advisors.

One of Britain’s biggest independent small business funders, the newly-named White Oak UK has provided over £1bn in funding in the last four years and financed £511m in loans in 2017.

UK private equity firm Cabot Square sold its stake in LDF to White Oak Global Advisors for £150m earlier this month as part of the transaction, understood to be a 2.8 multiple of its initial investment.*Read more*: Private equity firm Cabot Square completes sale of lender LDF in £150m deal

The company hopes to expand its operations to fund larger, middle-market companies as a result of the deal, drawing on its parent firm’s experience in the area.

White Oak UK said the rebrand has no impact on any of its existing agreements, and will continue operating as usual. Reported by City A.M. 4 hours ago.

Monday 30 July, 2018London, 30 July, 2018: Chipotle Launches New Braised Tofu Menu Item: A delicious new protein option, appealing to vegans and non-vegans alike

Whether a practicing vegan or not, Chipotle’s new braised tofu will appeal to those looking for an exciting new taste and will be available at all six of its London restaurants, including Soho, Baker Street, Islington and The City from 30th July.

The new slow-cooked, deliciously tender braised tofu (sofritas) is made with onions, garlic, cumin and paprika, all simmered in chopped tomatoes with a sprinkle of oregano.

The vegan braised tofu will be available in burritos, tacos, burrito bowls and salads and can be easily customized to suit your training regime,dietary requirement, or personal taste with other signature ingredients, including white or brown coriander-lime rice, pinto beans, salsas and guacamole.

The Vegan Boost (£7) is a new set meal item; a low calorie, gluten free salad which features braised tofu, black beans, fresh tomato salsa and romaine lettuce, at just 305 calories.

‘We are changing the way people think about and eat fast food, said Jacob Sumner, operations director, Chipotle in Europe. ‘Braised tofu is a very different menu item not just for Chipotle, but for any fast food or fast casual restaurant. It was really conceived with vegetarians and vegans in mind, but it’s so delicious that we believe it will have a broad appeal on taste alone.

‘We are proud to be able to serve those looking to avoid meat, or lower their meat intake, with a substantial protein alternative.’

The vegan braised tofu will be available at all Chipotle restaurants in London from 30th July and priced from £7.

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is planning to stay in London after Brexit, in spite of the departure of other agencies with a remit covering Europe.

The partly EU-owned development bank is considering a move out of its offices overlooking Exchange Square, by Liverpool Street Station, but will remain in London if it does move.

The bank is considering a move to Canary Wharf, a spokesperson confirmed.

In 2016 the bank had 1,591 staff in London, with another 565 scattered through another 34 offices.

The EBRD was set up in 1991 to fund development in the nations of the former Soviet Union in central and eastern Europe. It made €9.7bn in investments in 412 projects during 2017, according to its latest annual review.

Its heavyweight board includes a member from each of the 67 nations which back it, including UK chancellor Philip Hammond, and the finance ministers from France, Germany, Japan and the US. The EU and the European Investment Bank also share in the ownership.

The organisation has an eye on 350,000 square feet of office space at 5 Bank Street, which is currently under construction, the Financial Times first reported.

The EBRD’s board will make a decision by late September or early October.

Its decision to remain in London comes after the planned departure of EU agencies, including the European Medicines Agency, which is upping sticks for Amsterdam, and the European Banking Authority, which is moving to Paris.

A New, Revolutionary Female Rejuvenation Treatment

NEWBURGH, N.Y. (PRWEB) July 30, 2018

Dr. Ran Y. Rubinstein of Laser & Cosmetic Surgery Specialists, PC is pleased to offer Geneveve by Viveve to patients in the Newburgh, NY area. Geneveve is a one-time, non-invasive feminine rejuvenation treatment for vaginal laxity.

Geneveve has been popular in Canada and Europe for some time and recently made its debut in the United States. Geneveve can be completed in only 30 minutes without any downtime or scarring.

Ideal Candidates for Geneveve

Geneveve is the ideal procedure for women who believe they have lost some vaginal tightness. Dr. Rubinstein recommends Geneveve to patients who are experiencing a loss of sexual pleasure, reduced sensation during intercourse, reduced elasticity in vaginal tissue, urinary stress incontinence, and/or tampons that feel like they may slip out. This procedure is not appropriate for women with defibrillators or pacemakers.

How It Works

This revolutionary procedure uses cryogen-cooled monopolar radiofrequency (CMRF) to heat deep tissue while allowing the surface to cool. It effectively rejuvenates vaginal tissue and muscles and does not require local or general anesthesia. While patients may feel a minor warming sensation, they will likely find the treatment to be comfortable and pain-free.

What to Expect After Geneveve

Once the 30-minute treatment is over, women can return to their everyday routines immediately. They’ll be able to exercise and engage in sex and won’t have to worry about any changes in vaginal discharge or odor.

Complications linked to Geneveve are rare. However, if a woman experiences any sudden swelling or sharp pain after the procedure, they should notify their doctor right away.

In most cases, women who have undergone Geneveve will start to notice results after 30 days. It may take up to 3 months for complete results.

Although most women enjoy great results with only a single treatment, Dr. Rubinstein may suggest a second treatment after he evaluates the results 90 days after the initial treatment. While the goal of Geneveve is to rejuvenate the vaginal muscles and tissue, women may also enjoy improved arousal, lubrication, sexual satisfaction and reduced stress incontinence

Additional Treatments to Complement Geneveve

After understanding a woman’s aesthetic goals, Dr. Rubinstein may suggest alternative treatments to complement Geneveve. If a woman is interested in Geneveve because of changes following childbirth, he may also recommend a mommy makeover, a tummy tuck, or CoolSculpting. Women often find that additional treatments allow them to achieve the complete confidence they deserve.

Schedule a Private Geneveve by Viveve Consultation

Patients who are interested in learning more about Geneveve by Viveve at Laser & Cosmetic Surgery Specialists, PC are encouraged to schedule a private consultation with Dr. Rubinstein by calling 845-863-1772 or visiting his website at http://www.yourfacemd.com. During the consultation, Dr. Rubinstein can determine whether a woman is a good candidate for this treatment and answer any questions she may have. Dr. Rubinstein and his associates offer a wide range of face and body surgeries, as well as non-surgical cosmetic treatments. Reported by PRWeb 2 hours ago.

The SafeDNS filtering service receives its 4th Approved Parental Control Product award

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (PRWEB) July 30, 2018

It's already become a wonderful summer tradition for the company to announce that SafeDNS is certified by AV-Comparatives and once again receives Approved Parental Control Product award.

WHAT THE AV-COMPARATIVES VERDICT IS
In its report AV-Comparatives states that SafeDNS blocks 98.3% requests to adult content and 94% - to gambling one.

Lab tests prove that for 4 straight years the SafeDNS filtering service shows consistently great results in blocking adult and gambling content with 0 false positives. Actually, for the entire 4 years SafeDNS is tested and reviewed by AV-Comparatives there has been not a single false positive. That's why child-friendly content is always available to SafeDNS users, without a hitch.

WHAT DOES 2018 TEST RESULT MEAN TO USERS
To SafeDNS users the 2018 test results demonstrate again that you use an award-winning web filtering service which enables you to let your network users access only the content you find appropriate and useful. This is especially important in case your network users are kids. Their natural inquisitiveness and relative lack of web surfing experience often leads to them accessing dangerous, unpleasant and, at times, shocking content. No responsible parent and educator want that.

SafeDNS is always here to help you. With the company's filtering service in the cloud you can protect yourself, your dear and near ones, staff, students, and guests at home, places of learning and work against unwanted, malicious and phishing resources.

Employers can manage access to corporate networks limiting opportunities for staff to waste work time on irrelevant, unproductive websites.

MSP and resellers may rest assured that with the SafeDNS solutions they provide customers with the best-in-class web filtering which brings SafeDNS resellers additional revenue.

Internet and mobile service providers can reliably use SafeDNS to offer subscribers best-in-class parental control and content filtering for educational institutions and businesses. In Americas and the EMEA about 300 telecoms have already partnered the company to safeguard subscribers from web-based threats and unnecessary resources.

Public Wi-Fi providers deploy SafeDNS to help guests easily avoid gross and inappropriate stuff on the internet making it cleaner and safer for children and adults alike.

HOW SAFEDNS ACHIEVES SUCH OUTSTANDING RESULTS
To be consistently certified as Approved Parental Control Product the company keeps enriching its own database of categorized internet resources. It's already grown to about 100M resources. With such a solid foundation everything SafeDNS does provides great quality.

SafeDNS has by now secured technological partnership with network equipment manufacturers. In the EMEA and beyond such manufacturers as Dovado, Zyxel and Fältcom sell their Wi-Fi routers with SafeDNS integrated into them. One of the world-leading router manufacturer, D-Link, will soon release a new firmware version for several of its Wi-Fi routers with the SafeDNS service integrated into it. These manufacturers appreciate the additional value SafeDNS provides to their equipment.

The SafeDNS team continues improving the filtering service quality so that users are securely protected online against malware, phishing, botnets and dangerous internet resources.

PRICING & AVAILABILITY
The SafeDNS solutions for web filtering and internet security are available to customers as a paid service. To learn more about these solutions, pricing and other information, please, contact SafeDNS at sales(at)safedns(dot)com or call +1-800-820-2530, +1-571-421-2990 (outside US).

ABOUT COMPANY
SafeDNS is an Alexandria, VA, US based company, worldwide provider of cloud-based web filtering and internet security solutions as well as threat intelligence services. In 2013 the company launched a commercial version of its web filtering service for home, educational and corporate users. In 2014 SafeDNS released its web filtering platform for ISPs and mobile operators. The SafeDNS filtering servers are located throughout data centers in Europe, Australia, North, Central and South America. Every day the company processes about a billion queries from users of its filtering service. Now the SafeDNS products and cloud service are used by more than 300 telcos, 4000 organizations and tens of thousands of home users and about one million of anonymous free users worldwide.
The top quality of the SafeDNS web filtering service has already been acknowledged by world leading test labs and publications. In February 2016 SafeDNS became Editor’s Choice for Content Management & Filtering Solutions in 2016 Cyber Defense Magazine Infosec Awards. Last December PC Magazine included SafeDNS into a list of the best parental control software for 2018. This July as well as for 3 previous years the service was named Approved Parental Control Product by AV-Comparatives. Learn more about us at safedns.com. Reported by PRWeb 2 hours ago.

Bundling backup with Office 365 sales will complement the rapid growth of Microsoft Cloud in the markets Tarsus On Demand serves.

SINGAPORE (PRWEB) July 30, 2018

Dropsuite Limited (ASX: DSE), a leading cloud data backup platform for businesses, is pleased to announce that it has partnered with leading South African cloud enabler, Tarsus On Demand, a subsidiary of Tarsus Technology Group, to deliver scalable and secure Office 365 cloud backup services to South African businesses.

This business arrangement marks Dropsuite's first foray into the Africa market for its cloud services and products. The agreement means Tarsus On Demand will offer its customers powerful new tools to protect their Office 365 data from cyber threats and accidental data loss. Cloud Backup for Office 365 by Dropsuite is a comprehensive solution that safeguards Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams all in single pane of glass control panel for ease of management.

Last year, Microsoft announced that it was constructing new data centers in Johannesburg and Cape Town to launch in 2018 -- demonstrating an unwavering commitment to cloud services for the continent. Besides providing local data residency in South Africa, the centers will likely increase data transfer speeds for organizations throughout the region.

An increase in African Internet speed will help drive cloud growth. According to Statista, African e-commerce will attract nearly 25 million shoppers by 2021, up from 18 million today. Tarsus On Demand believes Microsoft Office 365 adoption will continue its impressive march forward as well, and with that, the need to safeguard data should increase congruently.

“Microsoft's commitment to Africa confirms our belief that cloud-based solutions will continue to gain traction across South Africa," said Anton Herbst, CEO of Tarsus On Demand. "Dropsuite has set a high bar for Office 365 cloud data protection with its backup, archiving, recovery, and email intelligence solutions and we're proud to offer Dropsuite to our customers."

“We have believed in Dropsuite's potential since we first launched the company more than six years ago, and we were convinced cloud backup would expand to all corners of the globe," said Ridley Ruth, Dropsuite's COO. “With outstanding partners like Tarsus On Demand, there's no doubt that Dropsuite will continue to grow throughout South Africa and beyond.”

Ealier in July, Dropsuite partnered with Squalio Group, a leading cloud service provider in Eastern Europe, to offer email backup, recovery and archiving to its Office 365 customers. In June, Dropsuite joined forces with Vietnam's Mat Bao to bring Office 365 data protection services to businesses in Southeast Asia.
