Wearing masks effectively
John Schwind
Co-Inventor, ReadiMask President
Global Safety First
"It's the seal that makes for a safer mask."
Now, amid the coronavirus pandemic, lots of people are wearing masks. But that doesn't mean they're actually protecting themselves or the people with whom they come into contact. So how do you know your mask is effective? John Schwind, co-inventor of the ReadiMask, offers easy-to-follow tips to ensure that you have the safest mask possible. For example, is your mask a NIOSH-certified N-95? Do you know the origin of the manufacturer? (We see the scandal that continues to erupt over masks made in China.) Would your mask pass the "fit test" in medical settings? (A procedure to measure the efficacy of a mask after use.) Do they offer a preferred size for many women and children? Almost all manufacturers only offer a one-size-fits-all.) What about those pesky straps? Is there an alternative? Finally, and most important, does your mask ensure a tight seal? If it's as good as the manufacturer claims, is it capable of withstanding — with a face shield — hits from pepper spray? John Schwind can explain in simple non-technical English, the best way to evaluate the effectiveness your mask. "Show, don't tell" is the popular adage for all writers. If you want to try on a mask with a perfect seal, we'll be happy to send you samples. Then you can judge for yourself.

Helping sexual trauma victims in the military
Dr. Renee Carr
Psychologist; Political & Corporate Advisor
The Problem Solver, LLC
"Sexual trauma happens almost every day in the military - for both men and women. The use of rank and command and reporting hierarchy makes it easy for crimes such as the death of Vanessa Guillen to not only keep happening but to also keep being covered-up."
Dr. Carr applies psychology to help elected officials, CEOs, and entities such as the military create reform, rebuild, and transition. She can speak about Fort Hood, the death of Vanessa Guillen and military sexual trauma.
