Steve Andrews Introduces See the Light, Kiss the Ground, a Novel Bringing Vietnam War to Life Through a Soldier’s Eyes

ORLANDO, FL, UNITED STATES, March 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Readers looking for an authentic and emotionally raw portrayal of the Vietnam War will find “See the Light, Kiss the Ground” a must-read. This docu-novel by Steve Andrews, a Vietnam War veteran, straddles two paths, providing a non-traditional blend of non-fiction and fiction that pairs historical reporting with a gripping story.

Mike Mitchell is a young, inexperienced Staff Sergeant thrown into the heart of the Vietnam War in 1970. The book follows him as he navigates the brutal realities of combat that eventually transform him into a battle-hardened veteran. He survives booby-traps and ambushes, struggles up muddy mountain trails carrying a heavy pack, fights off heat exhaustion and monsoon rains, and works with officers good and bad.

Combat becomes a job, seasoned with gallows humor. Over time, Mitchell and his fellow grunts become proficient killers. Eventually they confront not just enemy soldiers but reflections about those killings. Then a questionable shooting and too much “friendly fire” shatter everything.

The book moves between Mitchell’s experiences in the free-fire zone and historical events such as Nixon’s Cambodia invasion, the Kent State protests, the My Lai trial, and racial struggles that all divide the country. Relying on a unique mix of fiction and non-fiction, it gives readers a full picture of this pivotal period in history.

“It’s not just a book about the Vietnam War, it’s about the journey of soldiers who fought and survived, and what they carry home with them when their 365-day stint is over, set against the backdrop of a nation divided over their mission,” says Andrews.

See the Light, Kiss the Ground captures both the physical violence of war and the scars it leaves behind. Through Mitchell’s eyes, readers get inside the minds of those who fought, told with the authenticity only a veteran could bring.

Jeskell Systems Announces Immediate Availability of Supermicro AI Inference Server Amid Industry Hardware Shortages

Jeskell Systems announces immediate availability of Supermicro AI inference servers while industry supply shortages push typical deployments out 3–6 months.

This Supermicro platform represents a rare opportunity for organizations to deploy high-performance AI inference infrastructure immediately rather than waiting months for hardware availability.”
— Clary Davis, EVP and COO, Jeskell Systems

LAUREL, MD, UNITED STATES, March 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Jeskell Systems, a trusted provider of enterprise data infrastructure and lifecycle management solutions, today announced the immediate availability of a high-performance AI inference server built on the Supermicro AS-2115HS-TNR-01-G2 platform. At a time when global supply chain constraints are creating server component shortages and delaying infrastructure deployments by three to six months, this configuration is available now and can ship within days.

The demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure has accelerated rapidly across federal agencies, research institutions, and commercial enterprises. Organizations deploying large language models, AI-driven analytics, and in-memory databases require high-performance compute platforms capable of delivering massive throughput and extremely low latency. However, industry-wide shortages of memory, storage components, and specialized networking hardware have slowed the deployment of many AI initiatives.

Through its partnership with Supermicro, Jeskell Systems has secured access to a gold configuration server platform designed specifically for AI inference and high-performance in-memory workloads. Unlike most infrastructure currently on the market, which often carries extended delivery timelines, this system is currently in stock and can ship within two to three days of order placement.

This Supermicro platform is engineered to support data-intensive AI inference environments where performance, scalability, and efficient data movement are critical. A key feature of this system is the inclusion of a 200GbE NVIDIA BlueField-3 Data Processing Unit (DPU), which significantly enhances performance by offloading networking, storage, and security processing tasks from the main CPU.

This architecture improves overall system efficiency by freeing CPU resources for AI model execution while enabling extremely fast data movement between storage systems and GPUs. The BlueField-3 DPU also supports technologies such as Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) and GPUDirect Storage, allowing data to move directly between storage and GPU memory while bypassing traditional CPU bottlenecks. This design dramatically reduces latency and ensures that AI models receive the data required for real-time inference workloads.

The platform’s high-speed 200Gb networking capability provides the bandwidth required to support modern AI pipelines, including large language models that must manage thousands of concurrent inference sessions. By accelerating data movement and reducing infrastructure bottlenecks, the system allows organizations to scale AI workloads more efficiently while maintaining consistent performance.

Clary Davis, EVP and COO of Jeskell Systems, emphasized the importance of immediate availability in today’s constrained hardware market.

“Many organizations are ready to deploy AI infrastructure but are facing delays due to supply chain shortages across the server industry,” said Davis. “This Supermicro platform represents a rare opportunity for organizations to deploy high-performance AI inference infrastructure immediately rather than waiting months for hardware availability.”

In addition to providing the hardware platform, Jeskell Systems offers comprehensive deployment support and flexible enterprise support options. Organizations can combine the standard Supermicro support with enhanced service offerings from trusted support providers such as Park Place Technologies or Balata Data, enabling support coverage up to 24×7 with four-hour response times for mission-critical environments.

With more than 35 years of experience designing and implementing enterprise IT infrastructure, Jeskell Systems works with federal agencies, research organizations, and commercial enterprises to deploy scalable environments for high-performance computing, data analytics, and artificial intelligence workloads. The company specializes in helping organizations architect infrastructure that supports both current operational demands and long-term data growth.

As the pace of AI innovation continues to accelerate, organizations that can deploy infrastructure quickly will have a significant advantage. By offering immediate access to high-performance AI inference systems during a time of industry shortages, Jeskell Systems is helping clients move forward with AI initiatives without the delays currently affecting much of the hardware market.

Organizations interested in learning more about the availability of the Supermicro AI inference platform can contact Jeskell Systems for additional details.

About Jeskell Systems

Jeskell Systems empowers federal and commercial clients with scalable data lifecycle management, secure governance, and high-performance infrastructure solutions tailored to the unique needs of each organization. With more than 35 years of expertise and partnerships with leading technology providers, Jeskell helps organizations optimize their IT environments for operational efficiency, cyber resilience, and data-driven innovation.

On the International Day of Forests 2024, the Green Team at 137 Pillars Suites & Residences Bangkok launched an ambitious new forestation initiative. Reflecting 137 Pillars Hotels & Resorts’ ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability and social responsibility, the project is a collaborative effort by the hotel and the owners’ businesses. The owners have generously devoted 500 rai of land located in Ratchaburi province for the project which aims to establish a self-sustaining forest ecosystem that can maintain and regenerate itself. Designed by renowned professor Julaporn Nuntapanich, the forest project will feature a variety of elements including swales, canals, ponds, food forests, and herb gardens. A diverse range of species including dipterocarpaceae, leguminosae, aquatic plants, local fruits, and herbs will be planted. In 2024, the hotel team’s goal was to plant 1,600 trees by mid-year with the owners aiming to plant an additional 15,000 plants of various species within the same year. Volunteer team members continue to maintain and nurture the trees to ensure their long-term growth now and into the future.

Another initiative encourages guests to support climate action by purchasing carbon credits from The Carbon Phoenix – Bamboo Biochar Thailand. This project converts bamboo offcuts in Prachinburi into biochar, creating long-term soil carbon sinks while supporting regenerative land practices.

Celebrating Thai Culture and Social Inclusivity
137 Pillars Suites & Residences Bangkok has created its own local tours that are designed to celebrate cultural heritage and foster genuine connections with local Thai people. By curating activities that bring travellers closer to local culture, guests are offered unique experiences while also providing meaningful and effective financial support to Bangkok communities.

The Bangkok Serene Explorations tour entices visitors to explore the busy canals or khlongs in Bangkok. Firstly though, guests can join a painting class with Artstory – an initiative supported by the Autistic Thai Foundation – a platform that empowers special need artists through development of sustainable income streams including art classes. Guests can then explore art galleries, local shops, and cafés that dot the Bang Luang Canal. A variety of products are also offered at traditional row houses with architectural features dating back to the Ayutthaya period. Another option to be enjoyed is a leisurely long-tail boat ride under the tropical sun to see the iconic Big Buddha.

For free spirited individuals, The Louie Tour, allows the flexibility for guests to design their own itinerary to discover the many sight-seeing attractions and businesses within the Thai capital. The tour is named after Louis Leonowens, the visionary behind the elegant teak house that remains the centrepiece of the hotel’s founding property, 137 Pillars House Chiang Mai.

Prorize Marks 20 Years of Revenue Management Innovation

Prorize marks its 20th anniversary, highlighting how its AI-driven pricing platform helps storage operators improve revenue and outperform market trends.

Revenue management is the key to success in storage. Over 20 years across several operators, I’ve used every tool available — and nothing comes close to the scientific rigor & efficiency of Prorize.”
— David Decker, COO, Storage Star

ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, March 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Prorize, a global provider of self storage revenue management software and pricing consulting services, is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Founded in 2006, the company now supports pricing decisions across nearly 4,000 storage locations and 1.8 million units worldwide, helping operators use data and analytics to optimize rates across their portfolio.

Over the past two decades, Prorize’s Self Storage Revenue Optimizer (SSRO) has evolved into a global solution that helps operators improve revenue performance and respond to changing market conditions.

In 2025, self-storage operators using the Prorize’s SSRO achieved more than 4.3 percent same-store revenue growth in the United States, while many public storage REITs reported flat or negative results.

Today the Prorize system generates more than 300,000 demand forecasts each day, helping operators adjust prices as conditions change. The company serves customers in 28 countries across six continents and has 40 employees across the United States, Turkey, Kenya, Denmark and Finland.
Over the past four years, Prorize has averaged nearly 30 percent annual revenue growth, with double-digit gains each year.

“When we started Prorize 20 years ago, many companies were still setting prices using simple rules of thumb,” said Dr. Ahmet Kuyumcu, founder and CEO of Prorize. “We believed pricing decisions should come from data and solid analytics. Long before artificial intelligence (AI) became a buzzword, we were already using advanced mathematical models to forecast demand and estimate what customers were willing to pay. Today AI helps us build on that work and deliver even better insights to our customers.”

Across multiple industries, Prorize estimates its revenue management solutions have generated more than $500 million in incremental revenue for customers. In a controlled A/B test with a publicly traded self-storage REIT, the Prorize system delivered a 4.1 percent annual revenue lift compared to the company’s own internal pricing approach, on new customer pricing alone.

Several operators using the Prorize platform have also completed landmark transactions in recent years, including EZ Storage ($1.8B), Simply Self Storage ($2.2B), and Storage West ($1.69B). As operators improved revenue performance through more advanced pricing strategies, the value of those assets increased as well.

Customers say the partnership with the Prorize team plays a major role in those results.

“Prorize has been a trusted partner to Jenkins since 2017,” said Troy Sheppard, COO of The Jenkins Organization. “Their team has helped us continually improve our pricing and revenue strategies, which have led to steady same-store growth. Even during the pandemic and the market changes that followed, their insights helped us stay ahead.”

The company has also played an early role in bringing revenue management practices into the self-storage industry.

“Revenue management is the key to success in storage,” said David Decker, COO of Storage Star. “Over my 20+ years across several operators, I’ve used just about every tool available — and nothing comes close to the scientific rigor and efficiency of Prorize’s SSRO algorithms. They’re constantly innovating, and I genuinely value the partnership.”

Looking ahead, Prorize is investing heavily in artificial intelligence to improve demand forecasting and pricing decisions. The company is also developing AI tools that help operators detect unusual trends, understand what is happening across their portfolios and act faster when market conditions change.
“Our goal is simple,” Kuyumcu said. “We want operators to spend less time digging through reports and more time making confident pricing decisions.”

About Prorize
Prorize provides revenue management software and pricing consulting services that help organizations forecast demand, optimize prices and improve financial performance. Since 2006 the company has worked with businesses across industries including self-storage, gaming, hospitality, telecommunications, multi-family housing, and senior housing.

National Cybersecurity Center Warns Parents of the Hidden Cyber Risks on Your Kids’ Devices

Parents dramatically reduce privacy and security risks with quick, five-minute fixes recommended by cybersecurity experts

The NCC supports families through clear guidance, practical resources and Cyber Alerts that explain emerging online risks. This helps families better understand online risks and how to reduce them. ”
— The National Cybersecurity Center

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO, UNITED STATES, March 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The National Cybersecurity Center (NCC), Online Safety Starts Here, helps individuals understand online risks and take action through clear guidance, real-time Cyber Alerts, and timely insights.

This month, NCC is focusing on online safety for families, helping parents understand risks on children’s devices and the simple steps that can reduce them.

5 Hidden Cyber Risks on Kids’ Devices

Kids and teenagers spend an average of 7 hours and 22 minutes on screens each day, with nearly five of those hours spent on social media. More time online increases the risk of unwanted contact and data exposure, often through default settings and everyday habits that go unnoticed.

1. Default Privacy Settings

Many apps share more information than parents realize. New accounts may default to public profiles with location sharing or data collection enabled. A recent NCC Cyber Alert highlighted cases where apps collected children’s data without parental consent.

Quick Fix

Review app privacy settings
Set profiles to private
Turn off precise location sharing

2. Gaming Chat With Strangers

Teens spend about 15 hours each week playing online games, many with open chat features. These chats can expose children to strangers seeking personal information or sharing suspicious links.

Quick Fix

Set chat to “Friends Only”
Disable voice chat if unnecessary
Review friend lists regularly

3. Weak (or Reused) Passwords

Children often use simple passwords or reuse the same one across multiple accounts. If one account is compromised, others may be exposed, including accounts connected to family payment methods.

Quick Fix

Use unique passphrases for each account
Turn on multi-factor authentication
Consider a family password manager

4. Outdated Apps and Devices

Children’s phones, tablets, and gaming devices often receive security updates. When updates are delayed, devices may run software with known vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit. NCC Cyber Alerts have recently reminded users to install the latest iPhone updates.

Quick Fix

Turn on automatic updates
Remove unused apps
Restart devices regularly

5. Oversharing Personal Information

Photos, posts, and location tags can reveal more than children realize. Details such as school names, birthdays, or locations may expose personal information and routines.

Quick Fix

Turn off photo geotagging
Set social media profiles to private
Create simple rules about what information should not be shared online
Encouraging Digital Awareness in Families

Online safety also depends on awareness and everyday habits. Children who understand online risks are better prepared to recognize suspicious activity and protect their information.

The National Cybersecurity Center supports families through clear guidance, practical resources and Cyber Alerts that explain emerging online risks. This helps families better understand online risks and how to reduce them.

About NCC Cyber Alerts

NCC Cyber Alerts are a service from the National Cybersecurity Center that help individuals stay ahead of online threats. At no charge, each alert – Immediate Action Alerts, Advisory Alerts and Informational Alerts – all offer timely updates on scams, emerging risks, and online dangers—along with simple, step-by-step guidance to take action so people can be safer online. With new threats surfacing daily, it’s easy to be unsure what’s real or who to trust. NCC Cyber Alerts cut through the noise with clear, actionable advice to keep you safe online.

Infinnium Launches SaaS Version of 4iG® Platform, Challenging the ‘Move the Data’ Model in eDiscovery and Governance

Enterprises no longer need to “lift and shift data” to get the answers they need

Traditional eDiscovery and governance workflows were built around the idea that you have to move the data to work on it. Infinnium flips that model putting the control and cost savings in your hands”
— Doug Kaminski

CHANTILLY, VA, UNITED STATES, March 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Infinnium today announced the launch of a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) version of its 4iG^® data governance and discovery platform hosted on Microsoft Azure, offering legal, compliance, and cybersecurity teams a faster way to deploy enterprise-grade data analysis without the delays and complexity of traditional infrastructure.

For legal departments and service providers increasingly overwhelmed by exploding volumes of enterprise data, Infinnium’s index in place approach addresses one of the most persistent challenges in modern discovery workflows: the cost and risk of copying, transferring, and storing data multiple times.

“Traditional eDiscovery and governance workflows were built around the idea that you have to move the data to work on it,” said Doug Kaminski, Chief Revenue Officer at Infinnium. “The 4iG platform flips that model. We index and analyze data in place, which dramatically reduces cost, risk, and time to insight. Our new hosted offering allows for freedom of choice in deployment where it’s needed.”

Cloud Deployment Without Compromising Enterprise Architecture
While many enterprises and service providers deploy 4iG behind their own security perimeter for large-scale initiatives, the new Azure-hosted SaaS offering introduces a flexible deployment option for organizations that need rapid implementation or targeted capabilities.

The SaaS platform is designed to support:
• Simplified and predictable pricing
• Rapid deployment for investigations and compliance projects
• Law firm and service provider workflows
• Smaller or targeted data governance initiatives
• Organizations that require a managed cloud environment

Importantly, the SaaS version does not replace the enterprise deployment model that many organizations rely on for large-scale governance programs. Instead, it expands the platform’s flexibility by providing an additional operating model alongside traditional behind-the-firewall deployments.

This dual-deployment approach allows organizations to choose the architecture that best fits their security posture, regulatory obligations, and operational needs. No matter how you choose to use Infinnium, the platform is first to market with ISO 27001, ISO 27701, NIST 800 171 R3, and ISO 42001 certifications.

Built for the Reality of Modern Data
The 4iG platform addresses a fundamental problem facing corporate legal and compliance teams: enterprise data now lives everywhere – across cloud collaboration platforms, messaging systems, file repositories, and business applications.

Key capabilities include:
• In-Place Indexing and Analysis – Eliminate costly data “lift and shift” workflows by indexing and searching data where it resides.
• 50+ Enterprise Data Connectors – Access data across platforms such as Microsoft 365 and other enterprise systems without navigating application-specific limitations.
• Integrated Privacy and Risk Intelligence – Identify sensitive information, privacy risks, and compliance gaps across distributed systems.

Practical Impact for Legal and Compliance Teams
Organizations using the platform have reported measurable operational gains, including:
• 90%+ cost savings through data reduction and elimination of redundant systems
• 76% faster DSAR response times through automated search and workflow acceleration
• Significantly lower, more relevant data exported to review platforms or for GenAI review to reduce cost and increase accuracy

These results highlight the growing demand for technologies that can control enterprise data sprawl without requiring massive data migrations.

Expanding the Governance Technology Stack
As regulatory scrutiny increases and corporate data volumes continue to expand, organizations are searching for solutions that can scale to modern data environments without multiplying costs or security risks.

By introducing a cloud-hosted SaaS option alongside traditional enterprise deployments, Infinnium is positioning the 4iG platform as a flexible foundation for the next generation of data governance, compliance, and discovery workflows.

About Infinnium
Infinnium provides advanced solutions for information governance, cybersecurity, and eDiscovery. Its flagship 4iG^® platform enables organizations to index, analyze, and manage enterprise data in place – reducing costs, improving compliance, and accelerating investigative workflows. Organizations worldwide rely on Infinnium to make sense of petabytes of enterprise data while maintaining strong security and operational control.
