Black Dog Venture Partners Acquires Ten Percent Stake in Hangover Prevention Drink 6 Days - Hangnever

Black Dog Venture Partners announced today that they have acquired a ten percent stake in San Francisco based 6 Days Productions, maker of hangover prevention drink Hangnever.

Phoenix, AZ / San Francisco, CA, February 23, 2018 - Black Dog Venture Partners announced today that they have acquired a ten percent stake in San Francisco based 6 Days Productions, maker of hangover prevention drink Hangnever. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.


“This would be our first major partnership ever since we launched last year.” said Mario Mare, the founder of Hangnever brand. “We are excited for the forthcoming collaboration effort, with all the access and resource provided by BDVP, we are definitely going to accelerate our growth into the niche hangover market arena.” Both partners met at a SFSU networking event on November 2017. Mare added, “I remember when Scott’s first comment about the product was ‘I could have used this last night’, I knew he saw the potential in our business. We look forward for the partnership and the incubation process”

The product Hangnever holds a unique positioning by being a proactive recovery, or ‘prevention’ rather than ‘recovery’ drink. You consume it as a precaution measure, so that you will not wake up with the worst hangover, and their formula seems to really do the trick. Does it really work? There is only one way to find out. The company plan to offer a 100% money back guarantee if purchased through their e-store.

Beat This Season’s Colds and Flu the Natural Way — With Pure, Raw Honey From Carmel Honey Company

The cold and flu season is upon us and this time it’s hitting us harder than usual.

Carmel, CA, Feb 18, 2018 — The cold and flu season is upon us and this time it’s hitting us harder than usual. Americans spend billions of dollars every year on over-the-counter cold medicines, but relief can be as close as your kitchen cupboard — raw honey from Carmel Honey Company. For centuries people have been using various herbs and natural foods as medicine. Almost every mother has her own home remedy for a cough, cold or sore throat. Why do these remedies persist? Because honey actually works!

Raw honey has many medicinal uses, from soothing coughs and healing wounds to promoting good digestion, as an antiseptic, an antibiotic and for warding off allergies. It’s no wonder the ancient Greeks called honey, “the nectar of the gods.”

Honey is not only delicious straight from the jar, but soothes a sore throat and tempers a cough. Put it in tea , coffee, a smoothie or just eat it straight from a spoon - as a natural cough suppressant. One tried-and-true home cough remedy involves hot water mixed with lemon and honey. Some even swear by adding whiskey to help cut the mucous.

Honey is filled with antibacterial and anti-fungal properties and can also destroy parasites, viruses, and even some tumor cells. Raw honey is an antiseptic that never spoils.

Raw honey is loaded with trace minerals, organic enzymes, and antioxidants and nutrients like vitamins B and C and magnesium. Honey also contains pre- and probiotics, and an array of flavonoids and phenolic acids that serve as antioxidants. That makes it a powerful ingredient for good health.

Honey is relatively acidic and remains acidic even when diluted, maintaining a pH of approximately 3.5. Nothing foreign enjoys living in this pH-rich environment. Honey is alkaline-forming in the body and once in the stomach, it can actually alkalinize your system. Alkaline-forming foods are crucial to any diet because they help neutralize the acidic waste produced naturally by cells, keeping your insides clean and supporting the body’s immune system.

Bees make a protein that they add to the honey, called Defensin-1. A large majority of honey’s antibacterial properties come from this protein. Basically, these are ancient natural antibiotics that team up with antimicrobial activity against a range of microorganisms.

While honey is not a cure-all and no single health-promoting property is more important than the other, the multi-functional nature of raw honey is the key to its remarkable healing powers.

Carmel Honey Company, through its online shop and its first brick-and-mortar store in the Carmel Plaza in Carmel By-the-Sea, has a wide variety of raw honey and honey-related products. Shop instore and create a one of a kind custom raw honey gift box that can be shipped anywhere in the U.S.

About Carmel Honey Company:
Jake Reisdorf is the chief beekeeper and owner of Carmel Honey Company. He started his business as part of a school project where his teacher assigned professions to each student and directed them to research the profession and build a presentation on it.

While researching his assigned profession of website designer, Jake, 11 years old at the time, decided to take it one step further and actually create a real website. At that time, Jake had taken one beekeeping class with his Dad and thought it would be cool to design a website about honey bees.

Not only did Jake get an “A” on the project, it inspired him and spurred him to start Carmel Honey Company. That was five years ago.

His passion for honey bees grew as he learned about Colony Collapse Disorder and real honey. Expanding his research and education drove Jake to learn more about honey and bees and ultimately decide it was critical to give back.

The “Jake Gives Back” program includes sharing honey bee knowledge with kids and adults of all ages. Whether he is in a classroom speaking to first-grade students, or at a corporate event talking with business owners and seasoned professionals, his passion and appreciation of how honey bees impact our world is infectious. He also “gives back” by making a financial donation to honey bee research and education organizations.

Jake is a freshman at Carmel High School and keeps his knowledge of apiology (the scientific study of bees) current by continuing to manage his own honey bee hives and attending industry conferences throughout the country.

5 Reasons Companies Need Approval Software for Google Drive

When we think of electronic communication in the workplace, Google is one of the first applications we think of.

San Jose, CA, February 12, 2018 - When we think of electronic communication in the workplace, Google is one of the first applications we think of. With Google G Suite comprising one of the most versatile collections of applications such as Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Forms, it’s easy to see why Google boasts 3 million paying businesses for G Suite.

However, what happens if you need to file a leave request? Or if you need to view the file activity across your entire domain? Or if your budget proposal needs to be reviewed by five different superiors? With the large number of users, your workflow can easily become convoluted and unmanageable. An approval software solves this problem—you can continue to enjoy the versatility of G Suite while streamlining collaboration and eliminating inefficiencies.

1. Approval software organizes workflows
In a corporate setting, filing a simple report may require as many as three rounds of approval. An approval software that accesses a file from your Drive not only saves you the hassle of sharing a file through an independent application, but also helps you to organize the workflow.

Collavate offers a versatile workflow structure that generates a sequential or parallel approval process depending on your needs. As your report is reviewed by each approver, you and your reviewers will receive automatic notifications—just hit “Start Process” and watch your approvals pop up!

2. Approval software meets deadlines
Need a file to be approved by the end of the week? No problem! Simply select a file from the comfort of your Drive and set a deadline for approval. With Collavate, you won’t need to follow up with your approvers with frequent emails and reminders. You can even set individual deadlines for each reviewer to keep your file moving.

3. Approval software provides documentation on company activity
As a company manager, you should be able to monitor your business processes. Collavate allows you to view file activity and set preventative measures should your domain files be shared with external users. Moreover, easily track and share long and complex workflows by downloading CSVs describing individual file approval chains.

4. Boosts collaboration
While receiving feedback from individual reviewers, it should be easy to discuss and collaborate on files together. With Collavate, you can leave comments that communicate feedback every step of the approval process, and help to detail to future reviewers the changes made.

5. Integrated with Google Drive
As an administrator, you might be wary of sharing your files with an independent automated approval agency. However, by integrating your workflow software with Google Drive, you can continue to store domain files on Drive, greatly reducing the risk of exposing sensitive information. Collavate doesn’t save any of your files, allowing your files to be safely saved in the Google Cloud platform.

Southern CA Rock Band Dynamos To Release Driving New Single “Knowledge” on 2/23/18

The Song’s Accompanying Live-Tracked Music Video Out February 16!

Los Angeles, CA, February 08, 2018 - Southern California based and female-led rock group Dynamos are set to release their latest single “Knowledge” to online retail outlets worldwide on Feb 23, 2018. The moody, driving song will also be accompanied by a performance music video with all audio tracked live. This video (and its alternate audio of “Knowledge”) will be released on February 16th – one week in advance of the studio version’s release.


The opening bass, guitar, and drums of “Knowledge” suggest a sense of mystery which only grows as vocalist Nadia E begins her sultry and powerful delivery. The song’s lyrics further the mystery as the verse continues – culminating in the emphatic, “There’s a lot you don’t know about me…” A guitar solo, provided by Jacob Mayeda adds excitement and provides one of the song’s most important dynamic peaks. With the song’s energy continuing to drive right through its final note, “Knowledge” provokes listeners to question what they know while remaining true to Dynamos’ rock ‘n roll sound.

The performance music video was filmed in Los Angeles, CA, and features an all-new live recording of “Knowledge”. The band’s chemistry is on full display as audiences far and wide can get a sneak peek into the high-energy and fun Dynamos live show. Each member of the band brings a whole new dimension of musicianship to the video – proving that Dynamos’ own ‘knowledge’ of music sets them apart from emerging bands in the ever-crowded Los Angeles market – and beyond.
