Delivering Better Lives From Argentina to Zimbabwe
LONG BEACH, Calif., Dec. 8, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UTi Worldwide Inc. (Nasdaq:UTIW), a global supply chain services and solutions company, is proud to announce that its charitable foundation Delivering Better Lives (DBL) will be funding the building of a new Out Patients Department at Bwaila Hospital in Lilongwe, Malawi. The new department will make a substantial difference to doctors and nurses as well as the thousands of people who attend the hospital each week – many of whom currently have to wait outside, sometimes up to 12 hours, before being seen.
The project in Bwaila Hospital is one of more than ten new initiatives due to be launched before the end of the year and will mean that DBL has supported 40 new projects in 2015, with the foundation currently funding projects from Argentina to Zimbabwe.
This year UTi Worldwide team members have run, recycled, and even eaten 'Freakin Hot Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches' to help raise money for good causes. As well as these individual efforts, staff from across all 59 countries in the UTi network took part in the company's annual Global Walkathon and community week, raising almost USD 60,000.
The money raised by UTi employees has, since DBL's launch in 2007, helped millions of people around the world, by funding projects that contribute to making a difference to local people in the countries where UTi operates. Some of the programs DBL is currently supporting include:
- renovating and extending an orphanage in South Africa;
- funding the implementation of a water storage and irrigation program in Peru;
- providing school equipment and building a new library in Bangladesh; and
- rebuilding a children's home, following an earthquake in New Zealand.
Glenn Mills, DBL Executive Director, said: "At Delivering Better Lives we believe we have a responsibility to help the people less fortunate around us. Through the dedicated work of UTi team members, we work with local communities to find projects which are making a real difference and identify what help we can provide, putting in place the infrastructure that allows the benefits to be sustained over the long term."

SPOT Reaches Major Milestone With 4000th Rescue
COVINGTON, La., Dec. 8, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPOT LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Globalstar, Inc., (NYSE:GSAT) and the leader in satellite messaging and emergency notification technologies, announced today that its SPOT family of products has initiated 4,000 rescues around the world since its launch in 2007. SPOT is currently being used by customers to initiate almost two rescues a day and delivers affordable location-based messaging and life-saving emergency notification technology to hundreds of thousands of users, completely independent of cellular coverage.
Photos accompanying this release are available at
http://www.globenewswire.com/newsroom/prs/?pkgid=38035http://www.globenewswire.com/newsroom/prs/?pkgid=38036
Michael Herrera, SPOT's 4,000th rescuee and a retired Houston firefighter, was off-roading alone in DeKalb County, Alabama on his dual-sport dirt bike when he took a hard fall. Although initially disoriented, his experience as a first responder told him that his injuries were more serious than he could see. It was then that he reached for his SPOT Gen3® and pressed the S.O.S. button. Within 40 minutes of the S.O.S. activation, an ATV and ambulance were onsite. At the hospital, it was determined that he had suffered a broken collarbone, three broken ribs and a partially collapsed lung.
"Until my accident, I'd only used my SPOT for tracking so my wife could be aware of my location when riding off-road. It was gratifying to know that my SPOT delivered on its promise when I needed SAR services," says Herrera. He also expressed his gratitude to the SAR teams involved in his rescue, "thank you for your service and your quick response."
Herrera and his wife recently traveled to Globalstar's Company headquarters in Covington, Louisiana to meet the team responsible for the life-saving technology he relied upon. He was able to share his story with Company representatives, discuss ideas for continuing to evolve the technology and determine new avenues for reaching prospective customers who would benefit from owning the SPOT solution.
"As a professional firefighter/first responder, having reliable, protective gear was of utmost importance. I have carried this emphasis into my personal life as well with good riding gear for my motorcycle adventures and the SPOT is in my arsenal of emergency gear and protection," says Michael.
SPOT products work virtually everywhere in the world, most recently expanding to provide Pan-African coverage. Offering peace of mind through reliable satellite-based connectivity, SPOT users have the ability to track assets, use location-based messaging and get help beyond the boundaries of cellular.
"We are dedicated to offering affordable, life-saving technology that people can rely on," said Jay Monroe, CEO and Chairman of Globalstar. "Reaching this 4000th rescue milestone is a true testament to the success of our mission, and our entire team takes great pride in the thousands of lives that have been saved through SPOT-initiated rescues over the past eight years. It is evident that SPOT continues to be a go-to companion for anyone adventuring or working outside of cellular range."
"We are pleased to continue to provide such an important service for owners and users of SPOT devices. This day in age, people shouldn't have to worry about lack of access to emergency services as they work and travel the globe, and our 24/7 emergency response center and certified team at the International Emergency Response Coordination Center (IERCC) ensures that should an emergency occur, we'll get you out quickly and safely," commented Mark Garver, CEO of GEOS Safety and Response.
The SPOT family is comprised of a variety of products and services and is currently offering an aggressive FREE holiday promotion:
SPOT Gen3 (currently FREE after MIR plus service) offers enhanced functionality with more tracking features, improved battery performance and more power options including rechargeable and USB direct line power. Features include: SOS feature to immediately reach emergency personnel if required, custom tracking (2 ½, 5, 10, 30, or 60 minute tracking intervals available), motion-activated tracking, continuous tracking and extended battery life.
SPOT Global Phone (currently FREE after MIR plus service) a portable, easy-to-use and data-enabled satellite phone, provides industry-leading, 2-way crystal clear voice quality where cell service won't work. With the availability of Express Data on most data plans and with data speeds of 9.6 Kbps, SPOT Global Phone provides up to four times the data speed of other mobile satellite data providers, enabling emails, file transfers, and basic services to occur at higher speeds.
SPOT Trace (currently FREE after MIR plus service) the newest addition to the SPOT family, is already helping approximately 20,000 customers keep tabs on their high-value assets like boats, ATV's, off-road bikes and RV's. Users can receive theft-alert SMS texts or emails when movement is detected. Customized tracking intervals and notification features, such as power off and daily status messages, are included with Basic Service. SPOT Trace's battery life of up to 18 months and available line power option lets users confidently monitor assets on and off the grid, in near real-time via the SPOT App.
GEOS Search and Rescue is an additional membership offered for as low as $17.95 per year, providing financial relief of possible expenditures occurred during a Search and Rescue incident. The additional membership can cover up to $100,000 of incurred expenses in a given membership year.

Asylum Review Block: More Z170 aka Skylake Goodness
I'm sure by now many of you have heard about damaged Skylake processors due to Intel's aggressive cost cutting efforts. Sadly, I too was pwned by the shoddy proc by simply installing it incorrectly. No it didn't break the CPU socket but it did bend all four corners and that was only with pressure from the retention flapper metal thing.
Despite this, Skylake is good and people should consider it when upgrading from LGA 775 or any AMD solution. Here are some reviews to help confuse matters.
Web Reviews
- ECS Z170-CLAYMORE (Intel LGA-1151) @ techPowerUp
- MSI Z170A SLI PLUS motherboard review @ Guru3D
- GIGABYTE Z170-HD3 Review; DDR3 & Skylake @ Hardware Canucks
- Gigabyte Z170X-UD5 Motherboard Review: All Bases Covered at Modders-Inc
- Gigabyte's Z170X-Gaming G1 motherboard reviewed @ TechReport
- ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 GAMING K6+ (Intel LGA-1151) @ techPowerUp
- GIGABYTE Z170X-Gaming 7 Review @ VortezFunny thing, a year ago I was actually buried in Haswell based motherboards to review first with Z87 and later Z97 with the launch of Devils Canyon. It would seem just the opposite is happening with Z170. Not good.
Of course this mini rant is brought to you by the #wherethehellisskylake movement where we ask the question, "Who did we piss off this time?"

Despite several inquiries made by our Company, we have not received any response from the SEC, which led our management to elect to spin-off the previous contribution of the 4,000,000 EGD in October 2015.
The Company's strategic partner, Great Coin, Inc., has filed a registration statement with the SEC for the registration of "GX-Coins" a digital security to be utilized by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, GX-Life Global, Inc., in its multi-level marketing and retail business operations.
