Like many, I don't let diabetes define me or hold me back. I believe that the best way to find out what you're truly capable of is to take on an adventure – even if you think it may be outside of your reach. I believe the best way to stay motivated to exercise is to pick a huge challenge and train for it. I constantly make and reach new goals with the help of my Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System. Around the Clock Security I started using the Dexcom CGM System in 2008. The alerts and alarms have woken me up several times, when I'm plummeting and on the verge of passing out. My Dexcom CGM System is an added layer of security, watching over me around the clock. I cannot tell you how many times it has saved my life. Training Because of My Dexcom I sail, swim and stand-up paddle, and my Dexcom CGM System helps me to do these things. I took a solo sailing trip 100 miles down the Florida Keys with my Dexcom CGM System by (on) my side. My Dexcom CGM System helps with all of my train- ing. I recently completed a four-mile swim as part of a relay in the 12.5-mile swim around Key West with the Sea Peptide Swimmers. We were the first all Type 1 diabetic team to complete the race, a feat that required months of preparation and training. Everyone on the team had the Dexcom CGM System, because it allowed us to monitor our glucose levels in the water without having to touch the ground or the boat. Find Your Own Adventure I hope people will begin to seek out their own adventure, find those in the diabetes community pursuing the same thing, and take good care of themselves so they can adventure safely. My goal is to encourage people with diabetes to never let diabetes limit them from achieving their goals. For more information, visit www.dexcom.com. SECURAM INTRODUCES EMP-PROOF SAFE LOCK WITH BLUETOOTH AND AUDIT For years now, safe owners have postu- lated about which is better – an electron- ic lock or a mechanical lock. Today, SecuRam announces that the verdict is in: the best safe lock is the ProLogic Xtreme. The Xtreme series is both mechani- cal and electronic. Yes, you read that right; it is both an electronic lock and a three-wheel spin dial mechanical lock – all in one. Xtreme gives you the conven- ience and fast access of an electronic lock, plus the protection and precision of a mechanical lock. For everyday use, enter the code on the digital touchpad. It's fast and easy. But in Xtreme situations, just dial the three-wheel combination and you're in! No matter what happens, you are getting your safe open. So what is an Xtreme situation? What if your battery is dead, or maybe a wire got damaged and you need to get in your safe immediately? Or maybe worse. If there is one question SecuRam fields regularly, it is, "Are your locks EMP-proof?" (EMP stands for ElectroMagnetic Pulse and deals with the concern that a major electrical event or attack could render electronic systems inoperable.) Now the answer is very definitively "yes." If there is ever an extreme event like an EMP blast, no matter what the effect on the electronic compo- nents of your safe lock, you can always dial the combo to open your safe. The ProLogic Xtreme has a 500 event audit trail, so you know who has opened your safe, plus it's completely retrofittable. Provided your safe uses a standard safe lock footprint (90 percent of safes use a standard footprint lock), you are good to go. A locksmith can eas- ily replace your mechanical or electronic safe lock quickly and easily. SecuRam goes one step further for those safe owners who like living in a connected world by adding Bluetooth connectivity. Using the easy-to-use smartphone app, you can open and manage your safe from smartphone – includ- ing receiving alerts and audit information. So which is better, a mechanical lock or an electronic lock? The answer is clear: ProLogicXtreme by SecuRam Systems Inc. Creating tomorrow's solutions, today.

THE FUTURE OF AUDIO IN NEW YORK CITY With the recent opening of its SoHo pop- up store and its Soundscape showroom at Westfield World Trade Center, Sennheiser is inviting New Yorkers to share its journey into the Future of Audio. Open up to the end of February, these new sound environments are a des- tination for truly unique listening experi- ences, special events and a chance to explore Sennheiser's range of innovative audio products. At the SoHo pop-up store, visitors will also have the rare opportunity to listen firsthand to the HE 1, the best headphones in the world, and Sennheiser's groundbreaking AMBEO 3D audio technology. Located in NYC's SoHo district, the Sennheiser pop-up store is at 134 Prince Street (between West Broadway and Wooster) and the Soundscape showroom is located within the Westfield World Trade Center, 185 Greenwich Street, in the financial district. "With both new stores, we would like to invite New Yorkers to experience Sennheiser sound firsthand through our products and innovations. The stores will also host events and activities that will share further aspects of the world of Sennheiser, bringing to life our vision to Shape the Future of Audio," explains Guido Karbautzki, Senior Vice President Global Retail Channel. Step into a New Dimension of Sound The new SoHo store has been designed to transport visitors sonically and visually. Stepping into the store, guests enter via the sound tunnel, which has been careful- ly engineered to damp external noise lev- els bit by bit – making the buzz of the city streets outside recede as you go fur- ther inside. This transition in sound is complemented by what you see. The tun- nel brings visitors into an area where large screens show the company's core: the Sennheiser logo, a milestone product from the compa- ny's 70-year histo- ry and Sennheiser's vision to shape the future of audio. "We would like to invite New Yorkers on a journey, letting them literal- ly step into the world of Sennheiser," explains Dennis Wendt, Director Direct Sales at Sennheiser. "The process of entering the store is an evocative way to communicate the story of our brand's rich heritage and innovative drive via the experience."

DECIBULLZ INTRODUCES NEW THERMO-FIT CUSTOM-MOLDED EARPHONES Decibullz ® Custom Audio introduces the next generation of its award winning DIY custom molded earphones, the Contour ES. Part of Decibullz's Easy-Mold System, the custom fitted earpieces are now interchangeable with all of Decibullz's new products. Decibullz introduced the first ther- mo-fit custom molded earphones three years ago. It was its mission to create a set of earphones that would stay in and stay comfortable for active individuals. Winner of two CES Innovation Awards (2014 and 2016) and winner of USA Today's Reviewed.com Best In-Ear Headphone of 2015, Decibullz uses unique DIY thermoplastic custom-fit ear- pieces to create comfortable, perfect-fit- ting earphones that will not fall out while being active. With a passion for innova- tion, inventor and Chief Executive Officer Kyle Kirkpatrick has continued to improve the award-winning earphones. "In addition to expanding our line of products, we wanted to continue to inno- vate and improve upon our award- win- ning earphones. The new Contour ES earphones now feature a new three-but- ton remote; thicker, stronger and more durable cables; and machined aluminum earphone casings. Most important, though, is the improved sound quality. The new Contour ES includes an updated more powerful sound engine featuring large 9.2 mm drivers for a clean, power- ful and balanced listening experience. The new sound engine combined with the superior noise isolation and secure fit of the Decibullz custom earpieces creates a phenomenal listening experience." When heated in water, Decibullz's unique thermoplastic earpieces soften. Once the mold is allowed to cool, the user then places the earpiece into his ear, mold- ing it to an exact fit in minutes, without the need for an expensive audiologist. "The result is a smooth transition from biologi- cal to mechanical. This keeps the ear- phones from falling out and eliminates all pressure points," explained Kirkpatrick. Unlike other custom molds, the unique thermoplastic earpieces can be reheated and reshaped as many times as needed to achieve the perfect-fitting ear- phones.
