Chula Vista hosts historic matches vs. Canada, March 19-20
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., March 15, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
History will be made this weekend in Chula Vista, California, as the USA Blind Soccer Men’s National Team makes its debut on the pitch with two international friendlies against Canada. The matches will take place Sunday, March 19, and Monday, March 20, at the Salt Creek Soccer Arena (2710 Otay Lakes Rd.). Both matches begin at 5:00 p.m. local time. The U.S. Association of Blind Athletes (USABA), the national governing body (NGB) for the sport of blind soccer in the United States, named the first-ever USA Blind Soccer Men’s National Team roster last November after a four-day selection camp in Chula Vista.
The sport of blind soccer has been part of the Paralympic Games since 2004, but the U.S. has never fielded a team. That will all change in 2028 when Los Angeles plays host to the Olympic and Paralympic Games and the U.S. will receive an automatic entry into the blind soccer competition as the host country. Like the U.S., Canada has never competed in blind soccer at a Paralympic Games.
“We are incredibly excited that this historic day has arrived,” said USABA CEO Molly Quinn. “Just 14 months after being named the NGB for blind soccer, we are fielding a team in an international friendly. This is a major achievement and milestone on the road to our team’s Paralympic Games debut in Los Angeles in 2028.”
The U.S. Men’s National Team roster features eight athletes with visual impairments along with two sighted goalkeepers and two alternates. The eight athletes with visual impairments are Noah Beckman (Columbus, Ohio), Cody Kirchner (Columbia, S.C.), Ahmed Shareef (Staten Island, N.Y.), Ricardo Castaneda (Fort Worth, Texas), Kevin Brown (Falls Church, Va.), Antoine Craig (Richmond, Va.), David Brown (Chula Vista, Calif.) and Alvaro Mora Arellano (Phoenix, Ariz.). The two sighted goalkeepers are Brandt Herron (Palm Coast, Fla.) and Kyle Knott (Brevard, N.C.). Alternates are Charles Catherine (Brooklyn, N.Y.) and John Marquez (Fort Worth, Texas).
Both matches are open to the public and admission is free. The March 19 match will be live-streamed on the USABA Facebook and YouTube channels. For more information on the sport of blind soccer, visit the USABA website.

B&W Quality Growers’ best practices to grow healthy, flavorful leaves sustainably and naturally.
FELLSMERE, Fla., March 15, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
As National Agriculture Week approaches, B&W Quality Growers (B&W) is proud to share its Smart Farming Initiative and the practices implemented to grow healthy products sustainably and naturally. With over 150 years of experience, B&W provides 100% natural watercress, arugula, and spinach on a year-round basis.
This annual availability is achieved by actively taking advantage of each of its eight farms’ peak growing seasons. But following the sun has passive and environmental benefits too. Because each farm can recharge naturally in seasonal rotation, there is a reduced need and use of chemicals. By utilizing this system, B&W has reduced its chemical usage by over 50% in the past 10 years.
With B&W’s primary product being watercress – a rapidly growing perennial plant that grows in waterbeds – a high sustainable priority is its water conservation efforts. To limit runoff and save valuable water resources, B&W utilizes a water recirculation system in each of the waterbeds that makes all the water used on the farm reusable. B&W is net zero for water waste.
As a grower that harvests, packs, and ships in-house, B&W’s sustainable practices go from farm to facility. Its product bags are from recycled materials and are recyclable, and since switching from wax-coated cardboard, B&W’s shipping and food service boxes are recyclable as well.
B&W Quality Growers’ mission is to provide the highest quality and flavor of distinctive leafy greens, but it has a passion to do so sustainably and ecologically. For more information about B&W’s Smart Farming Initiative and watercress, visit bwqualitygrowers.com.

SiriusXM Music for Business and Soundtrack Your Brand Named 2023 Top Picks for Best Background Music Platforms
DETROIT, March 15, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Dynamic Media, the world’s largest reseller of licensed background music for businesses, has released its 2023 Background Music Buyer’s Guide. The guide is a comprehensive resource that makes it easy for companies to choose the right background music service for their unique needs.
The 110-page resource is the most complete guide ever written for the background music buyer and is available for free download on the company’s website for a limited time.
Dynamic Media Co-founder and CEO Ryan Santangelo, Ph.D., led the six-month research effort with the support of a team of developers, consultants, and industry experts. The Dynamic Media research team drew on 20 years of industry experience working with over 50,000 brands across 45 countries to create the report.
They prepared the 2023 Buyer’s Guide using expert interviews, direct customer feedback, analysis of industry data and trends, and comprehensive hands-on testing of every product and feature. The research focused on practical factors businesses should consider when shopping for a background music service. These factors ranged from simple elements like player options to deeper enterprise considerations like AI integration, network security, and central management capabilities.
“Our mission from the outset was to create a simple, easy-to-use resource that managers could access to help guide the background music decision process,” Santangelo said.
“We wanted to create a guide that would be useful for both small businesses seeking a turnkey solution and large enterprises and franchise organizations seeking highly customized and scalable options,” he said. “We’re proud to say that feedback from our users indicates that we have succeeded in this goal.”
The 2023 Buyer’s Guide used selection criteria to distill the market from over 30 competitors to the top six providers:
These providers stood out for their industry experience, user-friendly platforms, and reputations as tier-one providers, among other factors. The Buyer’s Guide offers detailed reviews and comparisons of each provider, including pricing, features, and customer support, to help businesses make informed decisions.
While all six music providers have their strengths, the Buyer’s Guide did not identify all of them as recommended options. Only two providers, SiriusXM Music for Business and Soundtrack Your Brand, were awarded the 2023 Top Pick status for their exceptional performance in the SMB and Enterprise categories, respectively. The remaining four providers were not recommended due to limitations in their music platform or their company’s service and support capabilities. This information highlights the importance of carefully evaluating each provider’s offerings to ensure you choose the right option for your business needs.
2023 Buyer’s Guide Top Picks
Small-to-Medium Business Category
SiriusXM Music for Business was named the best small business service, offering a professional and easy-to-use music experience for companies that do not need playlist building or customization. According to the guide, this service is ideal for small to medium businesses seeking a turnkey solution that delivers high-quality streaming music and reliable customer support.
Enterprise and Franchise Category
Soundtrack Your Brand was named the best enterprise business service, offering fully interactive song-by-song playlisting, drag-and-drop Spotify integration, comprehensive AI-generated playlists, central control, and real-time management of the music experience. This service is ideal for any business or franchise organization seeking a highly customized and scalable solution that can adapt to different business needs and use cases.
