These tests use finger prick blood or stool samples and ProciseDx's first menu is focused on GI physicians (gastroenterologists) and includes inflammatory and drug monitoring tests. The investment from Biosynex, a leader in European POC diagnostics in infectious disease and women's health, reinforces a relationship established in May 2020, when Biosynex became the distribution partner for ProciseDx gastrointestinal diagnostics in France."We are delighted with this significant investment from our European partner, Biosynex. This is an important synergistic and strategic transaction that will help us generate immediate revenues, scale up instrument production, launch our products internationally and fund our US clinical trials," said Larry Mimms CEO and Chief Scientific Officer of ProciseDx.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., April 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --Scence Natural Skincare was founded in 2018 out of a desire to raise the bar when it came to skincare products. Founders (and sisters) Mel and Krista made it their mission to set a new standard that redefined the future of skincare. Now that they have the products, manufacturing capabilities, and business model to bring that vision to fruition, they are officially expanding their enterprise beyond the shores of Britannia starting with international listings on Amazon.com. Siblings Krista and Mel grew up mutually interested in natural therapies, particularly as they relate to herbs and oils. They trained together and spent years developing the formulas and ideas that eventually went into their collective brainchild Scence Natural Skincare. The brand ambitiously focuses on a wide spectrum of impressive goals. Right out of the gate, the founders wanted to: Maintain the strictest level of quality. Use natural and organic ingredients. Source materials that were vegan, cruelty-free, inclusive, and available to everyone. Operate as a carbon positive enterprise. Remain a forward-thinking, cutting-edge company that perpetually set new standards for the skincare industry. Use packaging that is plastic-free and compostable The impressive part is, after the first few years of business, Scence has managed to come through on all of these commitments. In fact, now that they've proved that they can operate a sustainable business model within their own home country, the Scence sisters are looking to take their operation to the next level. While the UK health and wellness market were a great starting point, there is near-endless potential lying across the water in every direction from the island nation. Krista and Mel have begun the process of bridging this aquiferous gap by listing their impressive catalog of products on Amazon.com. The move has made the entire Scence product line available to the world virtually overnight. While the founders are continuing to work with their business partners to create a more comprehensive distribution network that includes a brick-and-mortar presence, the arrival of their highly sought-after goods on Amazon bodes well for the future growth of their enterprise. About Scence Skincare: Scence Natural Skincare was founded by sisters Krista and Mel in 2018. It operates out of Cornwall, United Kingdom, where it has steadily pushed the envelope on nearly every aspect of the skincare industry.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Aug. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Abaco today announced that it had won orders from a major systems integrator, who specialize in providing advanced technologies for the aerospace and defense market, for a quantity of Abaco's PC821 FPGA Cards and FMC120 FPGA Mezzanine Cards. The boards will be deployed in a subsystem that will provide the FPGA processing capability needed to scan, analyze, and action satcom data transmissions for the US Air Force. The customer had a number of stringent selection criteria for the FPGA processing solution. It should be based on the PCIe architecture, and offer flexibility in terms of FPGA choice. The requirement was for a single vendor complete board set solution that would support four analog-to-digital (A/D) and four digital-to-analog (D/A) channels at 16-bit resolution. Most importantly, it should be capable of straightforward transition from the PCIe-based proof-of-concept stage to rugged deployment in a 3U VPX system meaning that the chosen vendor would need to offer common BSPs across multiple architectures. "Abaco offers one of the broadest ranges of FPGA, DSP and RFSoC platforms in the industry that are specifically designed for the demands of sophisticated electronic warfare applications for deployment in the harshest environments," said John Muller, Chief Growth Officer at Abaco Systems. "They are also built using industry standards such as PCI and 3U VPX to provide the flexibility and interoperability our customers need, and can make a significant contribution to eliminating the time and expense involved in in-house development." The PC821 is a high-performance, PCI Express card with advanced DSP capabilities and multiple I/O options. It supports one VITA 57.4-compliant FMC+ and one VITA 57.1 compliant HPC FMC site. Both FMC sites are closely coupled to the Xilinx Virtex or Kintex UltraScale FPGA and a DDR4-2133 SDRAM SO-DIMM.The PC821's PCIe Gen3 interface can support up to eight lanes. The card features a single-lane SFP+ module as a serial peripheral interface. An 8-lane 14Gbps FireFly connector is also available as an optional serial peripheral interface. The FireFly connection can be made accessible either from inside the chassis or, alternatively, from the bezel if the SPF + cage is removed. The PC821 is designed for high-performance applications that require large-band signal digitization or generation through the use of accelerated frequency domain algorithms. The FMC120 provides four 16-bit A/D channels up to 1Gsps, four 16-bit D/A channels up to 1.25Gsps and up to 2.8Gsps sample rate with interpolation. The devices can function up to 1Gsps during simultaneously D/A and A/D operation as the clock source is shared. The design is based on Texas Instruments' ADS54J60 Analog-to-Digital converter and Texas Instruments' DAC39J84 Digital-to-Analog converter. The sample clock can be supplied externally through a coax connection or supplied by an internal clock source (optionally locked to an external reference). Additionally, a trigger input is available for customized synchronization.

SAN MATEO, Calif., March 31, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- A new national survey from Swytchback, a leader in mobile visual surveys, found that nearly a quarter (23%) of Gen Z and Millennial respondents consider COVID-19 not at all serious, not very serious or mildly serious, and only about half (51%) consider it very serious. The survey of more than 20,000 men and women between the ages of 16 to 30 years old examines young people's perceptions of and knowledge about COVID-19, and identifies areas for improved communication and education to help prevent its spread. The survey was conducted in partnership with Tap Research. The findings show that many Gen Zers and Millennials continue to have significant knowledge gaps concerning the coronavirus pandemic. Other topline findings from the survey include: More than a quarter (26%) of respondents did not know there is no current cure for COVID-19. 14% of respondents did not know that asymptomatic people can spread the virus. Only 40% of respondents knew that the virus can also sicken 20 to 54 year olds to the point of hospital care. Despite the gaps in knowledge highlighted in the findings, the free form responses to the survey reflect concern among most respondents, especially for their family members. Swytchback created and flighted the mobile info-survey in response to the current coronavirus crisis, as companies around the world do what they can to help. Swytchback leveraged its unique ability to quickly engage young people with a visually rich mobile study to address reports that Gen Zers and Millennials are not practicing social isolation, which can lead to severe delays in containment.

Nearly Half of Gen Z and Millennial Respondents Don't Consider COVID-19 Pandemic Very Serious, According to New Survey

SAN DIEGO, May 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --Terra Biological LLC reports a new study, peer-reviewed and published by the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology Science, finds that daily intake of oxaloacetate (OAA) significantly relieves Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)-related mood symptoms within the first menstrual cycle. The randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study led by Lisa Tully, Ph.D., reports that the four core mood symptoms associated with PMS, anxiety, irritability, stress and gloomy mood, were all significantly reduced compared to placebo after daily intake of 200 milligrams of oxaloacetate, an over-the-counter dietary supplement. The study reports that, on average, 30 days of daily OAA supplementation produced, 51 percent reduction in PMS-related anxiety 54 percent reduction in PMS-related gloomy mood 36 percent reduction in PMS-related stress 18 percent reduction in PMS-related irritability The complete clinical trial resultshave been made available to the public by the National Institutes of Health. "This important finding, be able to reduce the severity of mood symptoms is exciting for doctors and women sick of dealing with the monthly struggle. The magnitude of relief here is on par or greater than what is seen in typical prescription drug interventions for PMS mood symptoms, but is more accessible and doesn't require disruption of the body's natural hormone cycling," says Dr. Tully. In response to the clinical trial results, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has allowed OAA manufacturers to include the structure/function claim of "Oxaloacetate may help alleviate the mild to moderate psychological and/or behavioral symptoms associated with Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)." "These results will certainly encourage further study," says Dr. Tully. "The significance of symptom relief without hormone disruption or altering serotonin activity, like an SSRI, evolves our understanding of the root cause of PMS mood symptoms and may provide patients an additional treatment option." Researchers theorize that oxaloacetate relieves PMS-related mood symptoms by improving glucose metabolism in both the brain and body. Studies have shown that the cerebellum, a part of the brain now tied to mood regulation, requires much higher levels of glucose than normal during PMS. As well, a study has shown oxaloacetate supplementation to support healthy blood sugar levels. Thus, researchers hypothesize that increased oxaloacetate intake allows the liver to maintain a steady supply of glucose to the cerebellum and, simultaneously, improve the ability of brain cells in the cerebellum to process glucose more efficiently. "This mechanism would explain why a hallmark of PMS is a craving for high-sugar and high-fat foods," says Dr. Tully. "It also explains why so many women experience temporary relief from these foods, but symptoms return after the sugar crash."

Established in 2006, the company has leveraged research into the cellular aging process to develop unique, small molecules that are designed to change gene expression and enhance metabolic processes.

NEW YORK, June 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --Hashtag Sports, the premier conference, awards, and community for media and marketing professionals and the next generation of talent across the converging sports and entertainment industries, has mobilized a working committee alongside Intel Sports aimed at increasing gender equality and representation in the business behind sports and entertainment. Led by Sandra Lopez, VP and GM of Intel Sports, the first of its kind committee will set aim at enabling the sports and entertainment industries to more effectively represent the audiences they are engaging. Research from McKinsey found that among younger generations of sports fans, the gender gap is closing, with women making up as much as 45% of Millennial sports fans. Additionally, a study from the Boston Consulting Group shows that increasing diversity on leadership teams unlocks innovation and creativity, adding to the bottom line by as much as 19% and driving market growth. As the 21st-century sports fan continues to diversify, it is critical that sports-led content and campaigns as well as the marketers and creators behind them reflect the modern fan who is young, multicultural, and increasingly female. "Intel has seen business and societal impact when we foster a diverse and inclusive environment. As we continue our journey, we believe we should challenge other industries to do the same, including sports. Based on the most recent Race and Gender Report Cards from The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport (TIDES) at the University of Central Florida, women are underrepresented in positions of power or influence at senior leadership levels across all sports. That is why Intel Sports decided to partner with Hashtag Sports to not only challenge the industry but to also make forward progress in advancing women as well as underrepresented minorities in leadership roles," said Sandra Lopez, VP Intel Sports. "We've seen the power of a collective group, bound together for a greater cause as evidenced by the outpouring support," Lopez added. "The comradery and empathy in our community are strong, and I am proud and equally enthusiastic to work together as we explore new ideas and opportunities for change." In 2015, Intel challenged both itself and the technology industry to establish a more diverse and inclusive workforce in order to ensure the organization was able to effectively represent the markets that it serves as well as innovate and drive tangible business results. Since that announcement, Intel has achieved full representation in its U.S. workforce two years ahead of the 2020 goal. As Intel moves into the next decade, the company will extend their impact by partnering with others to advance diversity and inclusion across its global workforce and industry. As part of their RISE strategy, Intel intends to expand opportunities through technology inclusion and digital readiness initiatives. Joining Sandra Lopez on the D&Iworking committee will be 10 members of The Engagement Academy of Sports & Entertainment, a society of sports media, marketing, and entertainment professionals whose mission is to inspire creative talent of all ages while championing diversity, inclusion, and new ideas that galvanize the sports and entertainment industries. Academy membersare responsible for determining the winners of The Hashtag Sports Awards, announced each year at the annual Hashtag Sports conference, which recognizes excellence in fan engagement. Founding members include Jill Gregory (Chief Marketing Officer, NASCAR), Jarvis Sam (Talent Sourcing & Diversity Recruiting, Nike), Alex Flanagan (Partner & Head of Women's Growth, The Familie V2), Taylor Rooks (Talent, Turner Sports), Tyger Danger (Director of Communications, Bleacher Report), Shiz Suzuki (AVP Sponsorships and Experiential Marketing, AT&T), Dev Sethi, (Head of Sports, Instagram), TJ Adeshola (Head of U.S. Sports, Twitter), Blake Stuchin (VP, Digital Media Business Development, NFL), and Sarah Crennan (Head of Content, Yahoo Sports/Verizon Media). Building on this foundation, Hashtag Sports will add industry partners and select new members to support the initiative's growth and reflect the perspectives of all key industry stakeholders, including athletes, teams, leagues, federations, sponsors and advertisers, agencies, talent, and media companies. "Now, more than ever in the midst of the global pandemic and racial unrest in the United States, we have an opportunity to unite and catalyze through collaborative coalitions that will build a rising tide out of the economic losses experienced and the calls for action expressed by black Americans," said Anthony Caponiti, CEO & Founder at Hashtag Sports. "The Engagement Academy's working committee will advocate for the industry to proactively build organizations that represent all genders, backgrounds, and voices and to do so with purpose and accountability. It's challenging yet simpleexecutive leadership, content creators, and marketers should look and think like their fans," added Caponiti. After months of organization, the committee will begin working this month in the lead up to Hashtag Sports 2020 on October 21-22 to combine existing market research with first-hand knowledge and experience. This work will include evangelizing the benefits of a diverse and inclusive workforce and encouraging sports and entertainment executives to pledge a business commitment to the advancement of opportunities for women and minorities in the workplace, with a focus on enabling the next generation of marketers and content creators.

Social first With consumers socializing less in person now, the need to stay connected and access information is driving stronger than ever social engagement. But with this, the need for brands to reflect the authentic lives of their consumers is more important than ever. Sixty percent of respondents in the Visual GPS survey said they prefer to buy from brands that are founded by or represent people like themselves. Meredith McCracken, Vice President, CRM and Sales Marketing,iStock explains: "Businesses must think social-first when communicating with their audiences, but authenticity will be key to building a connection across digital channels. There has already been an evolution toward incorporating more authenticity in the tone, copy, and imagery in marketing but that need has become ever more important during this pandemic, and particularly when it comes to social media where people engage with brands in their personal feeds." 5. Video is booming Consumers are watching more video than ever before, and most of these videos are viewed via social media. Brands that represent real people in authentic environments in video formats will make better connections with their audiences. Alwyn Gosford, Senior Video Art Director,iStock, explains: "Brands must design videos with social media consumption in mind vertical formats, which are more easily viewed on mobile phones, will work best. Subtitles or graphics will be important as social videos are frequently viewed without sound, and brevity is key several videos of 30-60 seconds will be more effective than one video of over two minutes." Roughly a third (33%) of respondents to iStock's Visual GPS survey have boycotted a brand that went against their values in the past two years. With seismic shifts in the consumer landscape in 2020, it's more important than ever that businesses do their research to understand what consumers expect and use the right visuals to connect with their audiences.

GUANGZHOU, China, Nov. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- On November 20, the Understanding China Conference 2020 opened in Guangzhou, with the theme of "Huge Shake-up, Big Test, Great Cooperation: China's New Journey toward Modernization and Building a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind". Over 600 international guests of renowned politicians, strategists, scholars and entrepreneurs attended this gathering in person or online, according to its organizing committee. "Faced with all kinds of complex and severe challenges, we human beings need, more than ever, to strengthen cooperation in overcoming the difficulties and move forward together." At this year's gathering, phrases such as the "14th Five-Year Plan" , "new development paradigm" , and "international and domestic dual circulations" were mentioned most frequently throughout its ten parallel seminars and other forms of discussion. Participants believe, the fact that China is embarking on a new journey toward a modern socialist country in an all-around way not only reflects its unremitting pursuit of and firm belief in modernization and in bringing wellbeing to individuals and humanity but also demonstrates the country's firm position in promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind and its distinct determination to strengthen international cooperation and continuously expand opening-up. At this year's Conference, the call for cooperation couldn't be greater. According to Ernesto Zedillo, former Mexican president and chairman of 21st Century Council, there is no winner in a trade war, and major economies and open-minded emerging countries can move together down a new path, a path toward world peace and prosperity which is in the interest of all parties. Our aim should be to transcend the differences in ideology and social systems and discard the parochial attitude of closing the door to others, said Gordon Brown, former prime minister of the UK. Enhanced international cooperation serves undoubtedly as a major force for economic development and human progress since the Second World War, the former prime minister of Belgium Yves Leterme said. The EU and China would have more in common to help bring global development back on track, which is crucial to further international collaboration and trade cooperation, he hoped. Currently, the mankind is in a special historical period as the global pandemic has accelerated the evolution of the world's tremendous changes unseen in a century. Despite some resistance against economic globalization and increased risks or uncertainties in the world economy, peace and development still prevail and meeting challenges through cooperation remains the only rational choice for the international community. The overarching trend now is to meet great changes, confront harsh tests, and promote cooperation. In the view of Zheng Bijian, chairman of China Institute for Innovation and Development Strategy, it has been well proved since the beginning of this year that all mankind has expressed a strong desire to work together to battle COVID-19, producing "rays of light" in the darkness of the raging pandemic. As the 14th Five-Year Plan suggests, considering all realities at home and abroad, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China firmly believes that the country still enjoys strategic opportunities in this important period. From the beginning of the third decade of the 21st century onwards, China will maintain its strategic resolve and concentrate on managing its own affairs, seizing opportunities in crises and making breakthroughs amid changes. It will not only facilitate its own development but also enhance global cooperation, creating a broader space for a bigger still development.

This allows end-to-end encryption for targeted workflows, the application of industrial 3D printing applications with diverse part geometries to be printed in distributed environments with extensive supply chains. Furthermore this technology allows third parties to build eco-systems that properly mitigate privacy risks, obey governmental regulations or provide digital asset security and protection from data corruption. With its commitment to open source, the Consortium has made the released version of the 3MF Secure Content specification and an implementation available on GitHub under a permissive BSD license. VO today is also announcing the official general availability release of its Secure Manufacturing Platform (SMP), which ensures digital assets are secure and traceable across digitally distributed supply chainsin compliance with the 3MF Secure Content specification. "With AM's coming of age, the need to resolve interoperability issues through standardized formats and interfaces on the one hand, and the requirement for digital content security to prevent data corruption or commercial misuse of data on the other hand, are growing more acute," said Alain Nochimowski, EVP Innovation at Viaccess-Orca. "We are excited to join the membership ranks of the 3MF consortium and look forward to helping address the digital asset security aspects within the broader digital manufacturing industry." VO SMP is a digital asset distribution and traceability solution for use across the industry 4.0 supply chain.

Hoffa: Biden's OSHA Leadership Picks Will Prioritze Worker Safety

OKAYAMA, Japan, Oct. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- In a study published inScientific Reportsresearchers at Okayama University use simulations to depict changes that occur within neurons during the processes of learning and memory formation.Two antagonist phenomena in the brain are known to drive learning and memory. Long-term potentiation (LTP) strengthens communication between adjacent neurons to facilitate the integration of new memories. Long-term depression (LTD) weakens such interactions to relieve the brain of redundant information. However, the molecular changes driving these processes are still unclear to neuroscientists. Now, in a collaboration between Associate Professor SUMI Tomonari from Okayama University and Assistant Professor HARADA Kouji from Toyohashi University of Technology, a pair of scientists has revealed how the competitive shuttling of one molecule between in and out of synapses play an important role in this regard.LTP and LTD are initiated by flux of calcium ions into neighbouring (post-synaptic) neurons when those receive signals from the pre-synaptic ones. The post-synaptic neurons then do so by presenting a signal reader known as the -amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR) on their surface during LTP, which fades away during LTD. To understand the dynamics of AMPAR increase and decrease on post-synaptic membranes better, the duo created a mathematical model of post-synaptic neuron that closely mimicked physiological LTP and LTD. Neurons of the hippocampusthe seat of learning and memory within the brainwere used as a model system.Influxes of calcium ions were applied as the input of the simulations, and successfully trigger LTP and LTD. As expected, calcium-induced LTP stimulus resulted in AMPAR being shuttled out of the post-synaptic neurons, whereas LTD resulted in AMPAR being shunted back in. A deeper dive revealed that two opposing calcium sensors, namely synaptotagmin 1/7 (Syt1/7) and protein interacting with C-kinase 1 (PICK1), were driving these movements. Both sensors were active during LTP and LTD albeit in varying amounts. The Syt1/7 activity overtook the PICK1 during LTP resulting in a release of AMPAR from vesicles, whereas the former was overtook by the latter during LTD resulting in a recapture of the released AMPAR. A competition between Syt1/7 and PICK1 was thus behind the increase and decrease of AMPAR on the post-synaptic membranes.The research duo then closely examined the fate of AMPAR once it was shunted back into post synaptic neurons. Instead of degrading, AMPAR was stored in little vesicles near the neuron surface and kept ready for the next LTP signal. This resulted in an almost instantaneous incorporation of AMPAR into the postsynaptic membranes upon LTP stimulus. Myosin Vb, a molecular motor protein, was responsible for this dynamic recycling of AMPAR within the neuron.This study showed two competing mechanisms underlying LTP and LTD instead of two mutually exclusive processes. Additionally, the role of key molecules driving this dynamic competition was revealed. Deciphering the complexities of LTP and LTD is instrumental in understanding memory related disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and amnesia. Background LTP, LTD, and AMPAR: Long-term potentiation (LTP) is the strengthening, and long-term depression (LTD) is the weakening of inter-neuron connections in response to chemicals known as neurotransmitters. The chemically induced inflow of calcium ions into adjacent (post-synaptic) neurons warns to prepare for either LTP or LTD. Subsequently, the initiating (pre-synaptic) neuron fires neurotransmitters such as glutamate to communicate with the post-synaptic neurons.-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) is a molecule that closely resembles glutamate. Thus, the post-synaptic neuron presents the AMPA receptor (AMPAR) on its surface to read glutamate signals. LTP leads to more AMPAR incorporation into postsynaptic membranes and better glutamate binding, whereas LTD leads to the opposite. The increase and decrease of AMPAR on post-synaptic membranes is a key factor in facilitating neuronal connections. Understanding the dynamics of AMPAR shuttling is vital for research on the normal development of learning and memory and disorders that implicate them. Reference Tomonari Sumi, Kouji Harada.

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Shuman, Glenn & Stecker announces that it is investigating potential claims against certain officers and directors of JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. (JELD-WEN or the Company) (NYSE: JELD). JELD-WEN manufactures doors and windows. The Firms investigation relates to allegations raised in antitrust litigation against JELD-WEN, as well as a securities class action against JELD-WEN and certain of its senior officers, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. These lawsuits arise from allegations that JELD-WEN participated in a collusive price-fixing scheme with one of its major competitors. Following a trial in the antitrust litigation, on February 15, 2018 a jury found JELD-WEN liable for violating federal antitrust laws. Next, on October 5, 2018, the federal judge presiding over the antitrust litigation issued detailed factual findings about JELD-WENs anticompetitive behavior and ordered JELD-WEN to divest a manufacturing facility. Then, on October 15, 2018, after previously downplaying its exposure in the antitrust litigation, JELD-WEN disclosed that it would take a $76.5 million charge related to an expected judgment in the case and the sudden resignation of its Chief Financial Officer. JELD-WENs stock price dropped by 19% the next day. Meanwhile, the securities class action lawsuit alleges between January 26, 2017 and October 15, 2018, JELD-WEN and certain of its senior officers falsely stated publicly that JELD-WENs products compete against those of other manufacturers based on price, and falsely described the market in which JELD-WEN sells its products as highly competitive. The lawsuit also claims JELD-WEN falsely attributed its strong margins and anticipated margin growth to legitimate business factors such as strategic pricing decisions and an increased emphasis on pricing optimization. On October 26, 2020, the federal judge presiding over the securities class action denied the defendants motion to dismiss the claims, paving the way for the case to proceed towards trial. If you currently own JELD-WEN common stock and are interested in discussing your rights, or have information relating to this investigation, please contact Brett Stecker toll free at (866) 569-4531 or email Mr. Stecker at brett@shumanlawfirm.com.

Index Description: The Indxx SPAC & NextGen IPO Index is a passive rules-based index that tracks the performance of the common stock of newly listed Special Purpose Acquisitions Corporations (SPACs), ex-warrants, and initial public offerings (IPOs) derived from Special Purpose Acquisitions Corporations. The Funds investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses must be considered carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the investment company. Please read it carefully before investing. A hard copy of the prospectus can be requested by calling 833.333.9383. Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. As an ETF, the fund may trade at a premium or discount to NAV. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. The equity securities held in the Funds portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Fund invests. Investments in non-U.S. securities involve certain risks that may not be present with investments in U.S. securities. For example, investments in non-U.S. securities may be subject to risk of loss due to foreign currency fluctuations or to political or economic instability. Investments in non-U.S. securities also may be subject to withholding or other taxes and may be subject to additional trading, settlement, custodial, and operational risks. These and other factors can make investments in the Fund more volatile and potentially less liquid than other types of investments. The Fund invests in companies that have recently completed an IPO or are derived from a SPAC. These companies may be unseasoned and lack a trading history, a track record of reporting to investors, and widely available research coverage. IPOs are thus often subject to extreme price volatility and speculative trading. These stocks may have above-average price appreciation in connection with the IPO prior to inclusion in the Index. The price of stocks included in the Index may not continue to appreciate and the performance of these stocks may not replicate the performance exhibited in the past. In addition, IPOs may share similar illiquidity risks of private equity and venture capital. The free float shares held by the public in an IPO are typically a small percentage of the market capitalization. The ownership of many IPOs often includes large holdings by venture capital and private equity investors who seek to sell their shares in the public market in the months following an IPO when shares restricted by lock-up are released, causing greater volatility and possible downward pressure during the time that locked-up shares are released. The Fund is considered to be non-diversified, which means that it may invest more of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it were a diversified fund. As a result, the Fund may be more exposed to the risks associated with and developments affecting an individual issuer or a smaller number of issuers than a fund that invests more widely. This may increase the Funds volatility and cause the performance of a relatively smaller number of issuers to have a greater impact on the Funds performance. The Fund is new with a limited operating history. SPAK is distributed by Foreside Fund Services, LLC

CLINTON, Miss., March 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --Across the country, in large urban areas as well as small rural communities, EMTs and paramedics are serving on the frontlines of our nation's war against the COVID-19 pandemic, oftentimes without the necessary supplies and equipment to ensure the safety of their patients and themselves. Emergency medical services (EMS) are responding to increasing calls from patients with suspected or positively diagnosed coronavirus, in addition to 911 calls for patients with severe injuries and illness, including cardiac arrests and strokes. All EMS systems, whether they are public, private or a combination of both, are struggling. The additional burdens placed upon our EMS systems and personnel are challenging even for the strongest systems. Lack of medical supplies, particularly Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including face masks, gloves, goggles and gowns; ventilators, and other essential medical supplies and medications, is endangering our EMTs and paramedics, their families and colleagues and their patients. EMS personnel are having to utilize improvised or recycled PPE. A growing number of EMTs and paramedics are being infected with the COVID-19 virus, removing their ability to answer 911 calls. Some are fighting for their lives on respirators. While some states have implemented priority testing for their EMS personnel, many have yet to enact this testing. Congress has passed crucial pandemic relief and stimulus bills in the last couple of weeks, however, none of this legislation has provided funding relief or protection to our nation's EMTs and paramedics. Funds to support the pandemic response are being provided to state government and/or hospitals. EMS agencies are not receiving funds or supplies for their EMS personnel. In some communities, EMS is on the brink of collapse. Matt Zavadsky, President of the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians, stated, "The EMS community commends and appreciates the efforts of Congress and the Administration to support states as they respond to the pandemic. However, our profession is deeply disappointed and concerned with the lack of recognition by federal and state leaders of the care provided by EMTs and paramedics, the role of EMS in the pandemic response, and the absence of financial support to EMS through any of the bills that have been passed by Congress to date. We call on our federal leaders in Congress and in the White House to address this oversight as soon as possible. EMS is at a breaking point and we need government support. The continuation of EMS care to patients depends on it." What can communities do to help? Communities can help support their EMS agencies and personnel during the pandemic by contributing any unused PPE (masks, goggles, gloves) and cleaning supplies to help care for patients, donating take-out food from local restaurants, adhering to CDC guidance for preventing the spread of COVID-19, following state and municipal stay-at-home regulations, and contacting your state and federal elected leaders to ensure that EMS receives the needed support to continue to care for patients.

MELBOURNE, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Propanc Biopharma, Inc. (OTCQB: PPCB) (Propanc or the Company), a biopharmaceutical company developing novel cancer treatments for patients suffering from recurring and metastatic cancer, announced today that the Companys Scientific Advisory Board member, internationally recognized cancer expert and Prof. of Human Anatomy and Embryology, Juan Marchal M.D., Ph.D., at the University of Granada, Spain, believes that recent favorable results studying the effects of proenzymes on cancer represents renewed hope for sufferers and predicts an excellent clinical impact as a novel treatment approach. Recent results from the Companys Proenzymes Optimization Project 1 (POP1) Joint Research and Drug Discovery Program showing treatment with pancreatic proenzymes has been shown to decrease the expression of genes related to oncogenesis and metastasis, thus implying it is selectively directed towards inhibiting the spread of cancer. This is particularly significant, since the incidence of metastasis greatly reduces the life expectancy of cancer patients. Furthermore, results indicate that pancreatic proenzymes prepare the body to face the fight against cancer, by reducing the creation of pre-metastatic tumor niches. In the field of experimental oncology, Prof. Marchal is leading the implementation of different therapeutic strategies directed against cancer stem cells, based on novel synthetic and naturally derived drugs, or a tumor specific suicide gene therapy strategy. He has multiple research partnerships within industry, including through the MEDINA Foundation, sponsored by Merck Sharpe and Dohme (MSD) in partnership with the regional government of Andalusia, Spain, and GENYO, the new Pfizer-University of Granada-Junta de Andaluca Center for Genomics and Oncological Research (GENYO) in Spain. Among the projects for the formulation and detection of anti-cancer factors we are carrying out in our laboratory, the study of the effects of pancreatic proenzymes is one of the most exciting. This research is the result of over a decade long collaboration between my research group and Propanc, led by my colleague, Prof. Macarena Pern (Ph.D.), which I am also very involved with, said Prof. Marchal. I am delighted to continue collaborating closely with Propanc. We are looking at the possibility of implementing Phase II clinical studies on patients with pancreatic and ovarian cancers in Spain, after a Phase I, First-In-Human (FIH) study is completed in Australia. We recently discussed the project with reputable oncologists and they confirmed their interest in participating. Searching for new cancer treatments to achieve a definitive cure for cancer patients is my motivation. We continue to work with oncology experts like Profs. Marchal and Pern, and the scientific observations we have made regarding the effects of proezyme therapy as an effective cancer treatment are convincing, said Dr. Julian Kenyon M.B.Ch.B., M.D., Propancs Chief Scientific Officer. Since I first commenced my physician sponsored clinical research into proenzyme therapy nearly fifteen years ago, many of my initial observations have been proven scientifically, which leads me to conclude that proenzymes can prevent and treat metastatic cancer from solid tumors, which is the main cause of patient death for sufferers. I am very excited to see what our therapy can do for cancer patients in future clinical studies. The POP1 program is designed to produce a further enhanced clinical compound to the Companys lead product candidate, PRP, which is entering clinical stage. The objective is to produce large quantities of trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen for commercial use that exhibits minimal variation between lots and without sourcing the proenzymes from animals. Propanc is undertaking the challenging research project in collaboration with the Universities of Jan and Granada, led by research scientists Mr. Aitor Gonzlez M.Sc. and Ms. Belen Toledo M.Sc., supported by Profs. Pern and Marchal, representing the Universities, and Dr. Kenyon. About Professor Juan Marchal Prof Juan Antonio Marchal, M.D, Ph.D., is a Professor of Human Anatomy and Embryology (Faculty of Medicine) at the University of Granada. He obtained his PhD in 1996 in this university working on the implementation of a novel differentiation therapy against human rhabdomyosarcoma and received the 1996 Ph.D. Excellence award in Medicine and Surgery for his dissertation.

NEW YORK, May 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --The coronavirus pandemic has placed adisproportionate burdenof illness and death among racial groups and vulnerable populations. To help address this disparity arephysicians who understand the role of social determinantsin health and are deeply committed to caring for the most at-risk populations. Training those physicians is the mission of the CUNY School of Medicine. "What distinguishes our first-ever graduating class is that they have been specifically trained to address health inequities and improve the healthcare of the underserved," said Erica Friedman, MD, interim dean, CUNY School of Medicine. The medical school recently held its degree-conferring ceremony to it 45 graduates, many of whom have already begun volunteering at hospitals on the front-lines of the pandemic. The school recruitsunderrepresented minorities directly from high school into a combined BA/MD programwhere they are specifically trained to address health inequities and improve the healthcare of the underserved. Once they receive their degree, they return to inner-city communities where they serve as primary care physicians. Forty-eight percent of the School's inaugural graduates will pursue careers in primary care in New York area hospitals, a disproportionatelyhigher percentage than the national average. Seventy-five percent of this class come from African-American, Latinx, and Asian backgrounds, also significantly larger than the national medical school average. More than 60 percent of the class are either from first-generation immigrant families or are immigrants themselves. One student who is putting into practice her training as socially responsible healer is Ugochukwu (Ugo) Akpara. Ugorecalls being a medical student in an internal medicine clerkship when she notice that a patient was acting strangely: shivering, sweating, and frequently excusing herself to go to the bathroom. The patient was at the hospital to have her pacemaker checked out, but the look in the woman's eyes pleaded: "Can I trust you?" Ugo drew on the communication skills that she learned at CUNY School of Medicine and discovered that not only was the woman undergoing withdrawal from heroin, but her husband was dying, her house was in foreclosure, and she was the sole caregiver for the children living with her. "Everything I learned about social determinants negatively impacting a person's health was right there in front of me, " she says. "These factors need to be addressed. That why I want to be in medicine. That's why I was given this knowledge." In New York, African Americans make up 33% of COVID-19 hospitalizations. Yet black people are just 18% of the state's population, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC also reported that, in New York City, death rates are significantly higher for Hispanics/Latinos than for whites.. In Illinois, 15% of the population is black, but 43% of those who died from COVID-19 were black. Michigan's population is about 14% black, yet black people accounted for 40% of that state's COVID-19 deaths. "Our students are moving into the next phase of their careers at a defining moment for the medical profession," says Dr. Friedman. "They are the hope for the future of the healthcare profession raising their voices for those who don't have a voice and enlisting others to address inequality."

OXFORD, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Exscientia, a leading artificial intelligence (AI)-driven pharmatech company, today announced the first AI-designed molecule for immuno-oncology to enter human clinical trials. The A2a receptor antagonist, which is in development for adult patients with advanced solid tumours, was co-invented and developed through a Joint Venture between Exscientia and Evotec, including application of Exscientias next generation 3-D evolutionary AI-design platform as part of Centaur Chemist. The drug candidate has potential for best-in-class characteristics, with high selectivity for the target receptor, bringing together potential benefits of reduced systemic sides effects as well as minimal brain exposure to avoid undesired psychological side effects. Preclinical data related to this project will be presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting to be held 9-14 April, 2021. With this announcement, the companys AI technologies and drug-hunting expertise are now responsible for the first two AI-designed drugs to enter Phase I testing, following on from Exscientias previous announcement in 2020.1 Andrew Hopkins, CEO of Exscientia said, Immuno-oncology medicines are bringing benefit to a range of cancer patients. Our selective A2a receptor antagonist addresses a next-generation immuno-oncology strategy to empower the human immune system by reversing the effects of high adenosine concentrations. We set ambitious therapeutic objectives for this project, especially high selectivity for the A2a receptor and central nervous system (CNS) sparing properties, in order to reduce the likelihood of systemic side effects. Even with these challenging objectives, we were able to discover our candidate molecule within 8 months of project initiation. Tumour cells produce high levels of adenosine, a molecule that helps them escape immune system detection by binding to the A2a receptor on cancer fighting T-cells, reducing T-cell ability to eliminate disease.2 Exscientias AI-designed A2a receptor antagonist is being investigated for its ability to prevent adenosine from binding to the T-cell receptor and potentially promote anti-tumour T-cell activity. ENDS About Exscientia Exscientia is an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven pharmatech committed to discovering and designing the best possible medicines in the fastest and most effective manner. Exscientia is the first company to progress AI-designed small molecules into the clinical setting and repeatedly demonstrate the ability of AI to transform the how drugs are created. Drug design is precision engineering at the molecular scale. Exscientia has built dedicated AI systems that efficiently learn from the widest range of data and consistently reapply enhanced knowledge through iterations of design. Because Exscientias AI platform learns more effectively and rapidly than human-led efforts alone, candidate molecules satisfying complex therapeutic requirements are created with revolutionary efficiency. Exscientia believes that designing better drugs, faster, will allow the best ideas of science to rapidly become the best medicines for patients.

SUNNYVALE, California, March 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Rajashree Varma, Founder and CEO of Arth Systems and VP of Alliances at Xoriant, has been recognized as a Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) Star by the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), for her achievements as a diverse leader and advocate in the field of enterprise information technology. The WBE Star Award is the nation's premier recognition for excellence among women-owned businesses, and honors fourteen women leading in American business communities across their respective fields. Varma found her passion for diversity unmet by the world of enterprise IT, until she first joined forces with Xoriant early in her career. There, she was able to nurture her passion for technology without sacrificing her advocacy for diverse technologists and leaders. After many years of close collaboration with her, Xoriant acquired Arth Systems' enterprise business in 2019, in a move Varma calls one of her 'proudest moments in business'. In growing Arth Systems from an early stage to acquisition stage startup, Varma embraced her commitment to female representation in technology. "When I first started my business, the first 10 employees were women. It is hard for women to continue to work, especially after having a baby, so being able to empower them was rewarding," said Varma. As a result, Arth System developed an outstanding record as a system integration services provider, earning them a prestigious partnership with Microsoft as an 'Approved and Preferred Technology Vendor' and a 'Microsoft Silver Partner'. Xoriant's acquisition of Arth Systems further cemented their alliance with Microsoft, as well as their shared vision of an equal-opportunity, open, and collaborative work culture. The founder and CEO credits her entrepreneurial success to her involvement in WBENC's robust network of female business leaders and entrepreneurs. "I strongly believe in the power of networks," said Varma. "Through the WBENC there are intelligent and savvy female entrepreneurs that I have the privilege to learn from. It's also incredibly rewarding to provide support to emerging WBEs (Woman-Owned Business Enterprise) that are just beginning their journeys." As one of the few female leaders in the technology industry, Varma has made it her mission to support up -and-coming female entrepreneurs and technologists. She is not only a part of the Women's Business Enterprise National Council, or WBENC, but also a part of their regional partner organization WBEC-Pacific. Her advocacy also includes organizations such as CloudGirls, WIT, WPO, and Ada Academy. In awarding Varma a 2020 WBE Star Award, WBENC recognizes Varma's robust history of advocacy and achievement. Varma is also a past winner of WBEC-Pacific chapter 2018 President's for Volunteer of the Year Award, as well as the WBE of the Year 2019 award in class 1. "This honor is a well-deserved testament to the collaborative power that Raj brings to all of her work. Xoriant recognizes and nurtures talent irrespective of any biases and Raj is a true example of this," said Girish Gaitonde, Founder and CEO of Xoriant. "Her ability to build effective teams, bring in high potential business alliances and client centric solutions makes her an indispensable asset for clients and an integral member of the Xoriant leadership team."

SAN FRANCISCO, May 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- We are living through an extraordinary moment, a crisis of historic proportions. As the official historical society of the State of California, the California Historical Society is collecting stories and images that reflect the experiences of Californians during the COVID-19 pandemic and is launching an online gallery to exhibit those stories. Modern historians have argued that history isn't simply comprised of actions of remarkable or grand figures. The thoughts and experiences of everyday people are valuable keys to unlock what it's like to live in any era. Since its inception in 1871, the archives of the California Historical Society have attested to the power of ordinary people's testimonies through diaries, letters, scrapbooks, and oral histories. In an effort to document the history happening now, CHS has requested input from people throughout the state for its "Tell Your Story: California during the time of COVID-19" project. "Future generations will be able to use these firsthand accounts by everyday Californians to understand what happened during this pandemic, how it changed people's lives, what it felt like, what it looked like. Our hope is that, down the line, people might also use these stories as insights into navigating the challenges of their own unique time in history," said Alicia Goehring, CHS's Executive Director and CEO. The story collection portal, which was launched on April 13th, has already elicited more than 170 entries from across the state, representing the lived experiences of individuals, families, and communities of varying backgrounds and geographic locations. A sampling of these stories are now available to the public through an online gallery. The gallery will be updated periodically to make accessible a wide variety of California experiences. "What we are finding is that people need a place to describe this strange experience that is at once shared and terribly isolating. It creates a sense of connection, of being heard. The online gallery will complete that loop, so that people can see what others are experiencing. Some of the stories are emotionally raw or filled with hardship, but then others are more reflective and humorous." Erin Garcia, CHS Director of Exhibitions said. Stories can be submitted via the CHS website using the link https://californiahistoricalsociety.org/initiatives/tell-your-story-california-during-the-time-of-covid-19/ The online gallery can be viewed here: https://californiahistoricalsociety.org/exhibitions/tell-your-story-california-during-the-time-of-covid-19/ About the California Historical Society Founded in 1871, the California Historical Society (CHS) is a nonprofit organization with a mission to inspire and empower people to make California's richly diverse past a meaningful part of their contemporary lives. In 1979 Governor Jerry Brown designated CHS the official historical society of the State of California. Today, CHS enacts its mission with a wide range of library, exhibition, publication, education, and public outreach programs that explore the complex and continuing history of the state and represent the diversity of the California experience, past and present. Our treasured collectiondocumenting the history of the entire state from the Spanish Era to the present dayis brought to life through these innovative public history projects that expand and diversify our audience and broaden our public impact.Learn more at californiahistoricalsociety.org.

California Historical Society Launches Online Gallery Featuring COVID-19 Stories

RALEIGH, N.C., Oct. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --Relay, the cellular walkie-talkie replacement from Republic Wireless, announced today the launch of Relay+, its next-generation enterprise model developed to give today's frontline, deskless workforce a simple and powerful communication solution. The new Relay+ unveils improved features built specifically for businesses at a time when people have been increasingly working remotely in geographically distributed teams, making team communication more difficult yet important than ever. Relay+ is designed for the 55 million-plus U.S. frontline workers who require easy and safe push-to-talk voice technology with unlimited national range so they remain focused at work with hands and eyes fully engaged, undistracted by a smartphone screen. Relay is a communications platform for frontline teams that replaces the smartphone and makes the walkie-talkie obsolete In addition to Relay's simple one-button, voice-first communications, GPS tracking, and Slack-like dashboard that it's best known for, the new Relay+ adds powerful features including enhanced waterproof rating, a longer-lasting battery, and the ability to connect to multiple LTE networks. Relay+ is integrated into the powerful and flexible software platform that makes Relay+ adaptable to almost any team. The complete features include: Integration of the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2500 Platform chipset with 4G LTE A water protection rating of IP-X8 for full submersibility, and MIL-STD-810G for durability WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity for integration with other products and USB-C for both secondary charging and audio output An extended battery life of up to 2 days on a full charge Improved audio with dual noise cancelling digital microphones and dual speaker output and a 2X louder speaker New form factor with a softer texture, larger side keys and still lightweight - the size of a Post-It note and weighs about the same as a deck of cards - 79g New accessories that include a custom wireless charging pad, headset, belt clip and wireless multi-charger Built to be extensible through software configuration and integration The first version of Relay's enterprise solution launched last year and was hailed as a disruptor that was poised to "kill off the walkie-talkie. " Relay's combination of smartphone range in a simple, small form factor led to rapid adoption in hotels, resorts, theme parks and entertainment venues. Earlier this year, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, even more industries across healthcare, food service and logistical operations found new uses for Relay at work, staying connected with large and geographically distant colleagues while able to safely focus their hands and eyes on their work. "There has been a lack of innovation in tools for frontline workers for decades, resulting in major inefficiencies and wasted time and money," said Jon Schniepp, SVP of Product and Marketing, Relay. "Smart workforce communication tools need to evolve beyond just screen-first applications. Frontline teams need to be in constant communication to meet customer needs, and those who invest in frontline technology will shape the future of work particularly for businesses rebuilding after COVID-19. Relay+ focuses on creating smartsolutions that are easily customizable for every kind of frontline team." Market intelligence company IDC forecasts frontline workers will account for nearly 60% of the total U.S. workforce by 2024. The ongoing pandemic has accelerated the need for innovation in workforce communications for frontline workers across industries including hospitality, healthcare, logistics, transportation, and education."Challenging economic times is often when new innovation thrives. Businesses are looking to streamline and optimize the best they can to survive and invest in creating new efficiencies to save money. This is where Relay+ will have its greatest impact," said Chris Chuang, CEO and Founder, Relay. "When we outline how Relay can integrate into a customer's current operations, we frequently get stunned expressions followed by the question, 'You can do that?' The answer is always, 'Yes, Relay can do that because our solution is rooted in a powerful and flexible software platform.'""Mobile and wearable technologies have played a crucial role over the last few months as enterprises have navigated the macro-economic challenges," said Pankaj Kedia, Sr. Director and Global Head, Smart Speaker and Wearables segment, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. "Republic Wireless' efforts in using its Relay device to serve the needs of frontline workers are to be applauded. We are delighted to be working with the firm to continue to innovate and bring the Relay+ to market. Based on Qualcomm's Snapdragon Wear, the Relay+ takes full advantage of the platform to deliver an always reliably connected product while enabling extended battery life in a sleek form factor."Relay+'s cloud-based platform enables more than merely communication. It allows frontline teams to access data, answer questions, send alerts, initiate automation, and collect data all with a simple voice-first interface. Since its initial launch, innovative teams across multiple industries have used Relay to improve their businesses. Food Services Relays are being used to maintain distance and supplement smaller staff working in kitchen and delivery operations as food services reopen. Additionally, with the growing trend of consolidated service management (ghost kitchens) and increased reliance on delivery, Relay is being used to keep crews connected in real-time regardless of distance. Hospitality Relay is rapidly being adopted as an alternative to traditional walkie-talkies and smartphones for its eyes-up, real-time communication, customizable features like panic button, reduced cost, and enhanced staff presentation. Facilities Management Large venues with substantial distances between active workers are swapping out two-way radios with limited range for Relay's limitless cellular range. Healthcare Relay has proven to be invaluable for clinical staff connection, facility logistics, patient communication, in home care, senior living and hospital support functionalities. Education Relays are being implemented in schools and childcare facilities to help staff coordinate the flow of students and improve emergency communication.

EMMAC brings vertically integrated operations in Europe with a presence in key medical cannabis markets, including the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Portugal Strategic investor to fund cash portion of acquisition and Curaleaf's growth initiatives in Europe WAKEFIELD, Mass., April 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. (CSE: CURA /OTCQX: CURLF) ("Curaleaf" or the "Company"), a leading international provider of consumer products in cannabis has successfully completed the previously announced acquisition of EMMAC Life Sciences Limited ("EMMAC"), the largest vertically integrated independent cannabis company in Europe, for base consideration of approximately US$50 million in cash and 17.5 million shares of Curaleaf, with additional consideration to be paid based upon the successful achievement of performance milestones. Curaleaf has simultaneously established Curaleaf International Holdings Limited ("Curaleaf International") in Guernsey to hold the EMMAC investment and further its European expansion. To accelerate the expansion of Curaleaf International, Curaleaf has secured an investment of US$130 million from a single strategic institutional investor in exchange for 31.5% equity stake in Curaleaf International, implying a $413 million Post Money valuation, with US$80 million in cash available to spend. The subscription will fund the entire cash portion of the EMMAC acquisition consideration of US$50 million with the remaining US$80 million to be used to fund Curaleaf International's current capital expenditures plan through 2022, as well as its pipeline of potential acquisitions. This infusion of outside capital into Curaleaf International significantly accelerates Curaleaf's expansion plans in Europe by fully funding Curaleaf's cash outlay for the EMMAC acquisition and providing the capital required to support Curaleaf International's near-term European rollout. With its foreseeable expansion budget fully funded, Curaleaf's new international business can focus on executing its further European expansion. Curaleaf and the strategic investor have enteredinto a shareholders' agreement regarding the governance of Curaleaf International pursuant to which Curaleaf will have control over operational issues as well as raising capital and the ability to exit the business. In addition, the strategic investor's stake is subject to put/call rights which permits either party to cause the stake to be bought out by Curaleaf for Curaleaf equity starting in 2025. Boris Jordan, Executive Chairman of Curaleaf, stated, "The successful completion of our acquisition of EMMAC, and the formation of our new Curaleaf International business, marks a transformational launching point for our entrance into the European cannabis market. Building on our market leading position in the U.S., this transaction establishes Curaleaf as the global, pure play, cannabis market leader by revenue and geographic reach. With our single strategic institutional investor, we have set a strong foundation for Curaleaf International's future growth trajectory. On behalf of the Curaleaf Board of Directors and management team, we are thrilled to welcome Antonio Costanzo, co-founder and CEO of EMMAC, as the CEO of Curaleaf International, and the entire EMMAC team to Curaleaf." The new Curaleaf International platform includes cultivation, EU GMP-certified processing, distribution, and R&D operations across several key European medical cannabis markets, including the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain and Portugal. Terra Verde, Curaleaf International's European market cultivation facility in Portugal, is one of the oldest licensed cannabis growing facilities in Europe with approximately 2 hectares of cultivation area and is an industry leader on the cannabis production cost efficiency front. The Portugal based cultivation facility provides Curaleaf International with the potential to serve customers across key European medical cannabis markets as well as supporting exports to countries such as Israel, among others. Curaleaf International plans to significantly increase its cultivation capacity in 2021, and to exceed 10 tons per year by 2022, in order to accommodate future growth related to the expansion of access to cannabis across the major European medical and adult-use, as well as export markets.Curaleaf International also has an operational presence and partnerships in European Union countries that are enacting new medical cannabis access programs. Curaleaf International will also serve as the platform for other possible acquisitions in Europe and adjacent areas, and for its participation in pilot adult use programs. Joseph Bayern, CEO of Curaleaf, commented, "As the consumer and political liberalization trends around cannabis that are sweeping the U.S. are increasingly taking hold across Europe, our expansion into the international cannabis market presents tremendous new long-term growth opportunities for Curaleaf. With the European population of nearly 748 million1, the potential European addressable market is more than twice the size of the U.S. addressable market2. With the ability to operate our new European business across country borders, with one or two cultivation sites and one manufacturing center to serve the entire region in most cases, combined with our ability to leverage the strength of our consumer packaged goods strategies and innovations from our U.S. operations, we see enormously positive implications for our ability to quickly and efficiently scale the business across Europe." Following the successful completion of the transaction, Mr. Antonio Costanzo has been appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer of Curaleaf International, with the former EMMAC management team continuing to lead Curaleaf's new European presence as well as driving local European strategy and day-to-day operations. Antonio Costanzo, CEO of Curaleaf International, commented, "This is an important day for the European cannabis market as EMMAC transitions to Curaleaf International. I look forward to working closely with the Curaleaf team to shape the future of cannabis for our patients and customers around the world. We will retain our science-led approach to continue to deliver best in class cannabis products for Europe's growing medical cannabis market, and will work closely to leverage the consumer packaged goods experience and innovation from the U.S. to capitalize on the emerging adult-use market as legislation allows. We are now very well positioned to realize our aggressive growth ambitions." About Curaleaf Holdings Curaleaf Holdings, Inc.

SUNNYVALE, Calif. & PUNE, India--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Druva Inc., the leader in Cloud Data Protection and Management, today announced further results from its inaugural 2020 Value of Data Report, highlighting the rising enterprise technology trends in India. The global survey, commissioned by Druva, offers insights from over 1,000 IT decision makers (ITDMs) in India, the US and UK, and underpins the importance of maximizing the value of data as businesses continue to navigate an unprecedented worldwide situation. As organizational reliance on data continues to rise amid the pandemic, the survey uncovered rising concerns among Indian businesses about data protection, the growing need to enhance resilience, and the role data agility plays in enabling organizational operations and connecting with customers. Of the more than 300 ITDMs surveyed in India, approximately one third (31 percent) report an increase in ransomware attacks on the organization since the pandemic began, and overall 89 percent of ITDMs being more concerned now with protecting their organizational data from ransomware than before the pandemic. Its clear data has never been more valuable to organizational success, yet 44 percent of organizations do not have the data they collect readily available when needed for decision making. With data being created, stored, and shared in more ways than ever before, IT leaders in India are confronted with unprecedented challenges. The survey reveals that protecting data from outside threats, unauthorised internal access and ensuring business resiliency are becoming key priorities for organisations as they accelerate their cloud migration and digital transformation plans.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL) today introduced the industry's firstnative NVMe RAID 1 accelerator, a state-of-the-art technology for virtualized, multi-tenant cloud and enterprise data center environments which demand optimized reliability, efficiency, and performance. Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is the first of Marvell's partners to support the new accelerator in the HPE NS204i-p NVMe OS Boot Deviceoffered on select HPE ProLiant servers and HPE Apollo systems. HPE NS204i-p NVMe OS Boot Device with Marvells NVMe RAID 1 accelerator As the industry transitions from legacy SAS and SATA to NVMe SSDs, Marvell's offering helps data centers fast-track the move to higher performance flash storage. The innovative accelerator lowers data center total cost of ownership (TCO) by offloading RAID 1 processing from costly and precious server CPU resources, maximizing application processing performance. IT organizations can now deploy a "plug-and-play," NVMe-based OS boot solution, like the HPE NS204i-p NVMe OS Boot Device,that protects the integrity of flash data storage while delivering an optimized, application-level user experience. The NVMe RAID 1 accelerator is compatible with Windows, Linux and VMware native OS NVMe host drivers and is based on a DRAM-less architecture which lowers power consumption. The NVMe RAID 1 accelerator is ideal for enterprise-class SSD boot applications as it naturally provides operating system and recovery data protection that is physically isolated in the server from volume user data. This isolation is critical for virtualized, software-defined storage and hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) deployments that demand reliable access to logs and boot programs with no chance of being corrupted by user data. To meet high availability requirements, operating systems like VMware ESXi have traditionally relied on taxing the CPU for RAID 1 processing across two separate drives, consuming two server storage bays. The NVMe RAID 1 accelerator in the HPE NS204i-p NVMe OS Boot Devicesolves this problem by offloading RAID 1 processing to hardware and directly connecting to two NVMe SSDs allowing the HPE solution to consume a single PCIe slot. "We are delighted to bring the industry's first hardware-accelerated, native NVMe RAID 1 to volume production together with the HPE NS204i-p NVMe OS Boot Device," said Thad Omura, vice president of marketing, Flash Business Unit at Marvell. "HPE is the first to bring reliable, self-contained NVMe OS boot capability to end users thanks to our RAID 1 offering that is easily deployed in volume with native OS NVMe host driver compatibility." HPE has implemented a customized version of the NVMe RAID 1 accelerator and is the first to offer enterprise and hybrid-cloud providers this OS boot solution as part of its server infrastructure offering. The HPE NS204i-p NVMe OS Boot Device is a single PCIe card that includes two 480GB NVMe M.2 SSDs and enables customers to mirror their OS through dedicated hardware RAID 1. This "plug-and-play" OS boot device also has native OS NVMe host driver support for VMware, Windows, RHEL and SLES operating systems for simple deployment on HPE ProLiant servers and HPE Apollo systems. "HPE has a decades-long collaboration with Marvell in delivering joint solutions that optimize storage, server and networking technologies to help customers transform their data centers and target growing workload needs," said Krista Satterthwaite, vice president, HPE Compute Product Management. "We look forward to continuing this collaboration by being the first to support Marvell's new accelerator solution in our state-of-the-art NVMe OS Boot Device, which is offered on the HPE ProLiant servers and HPE Apollo systems to target a range of workloads such as virtualization, AI, analytics, HPC, and HCI." The HPE NS204i-p NVMe OS Boot Device is available today for select HPE ProLiant Gen10 and Gen10 Plus servers and HPE Apollo Gen10 and Gen10 Plus systems. For more information, please visit: www.hpe.com/info/serverstorage"Marvell's approach at designing a hardware-optimized NVMe RAID 1 accelerator centers on an incredible level of optimization, providing accelerated performance coupled with lower power footprint compared with existing SATA/SAS RAID offerings," said Scott Sinclair, senior analyst at ESG. "This NVMe RAID 1 accelerator should be a top consideration for the mission-critical data center, mainly in cluster architecture, such as HCI, which requires high availability and quick recovery of data."More information about Marvell's 88NR2241-B, the silicon device that powers the NVMe RAID 1 accelerator, is located here.

SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- KT Corp. (KRX: 030200;NYSE: KT), South Korea's largest telecommunications company, is developing a COVID-19 infection risk assessment model, using its artificial intelligence (AI) and Big Data-based digital contact tracing technology, adding to global efforts to tackle the escalating pandemic. The Korean telecom leader's new pilot project is supported by the Research Investment for Global Health Technology Fund, better known as RIGHT Fund. The global research fund accepted the promising proposal by KT to develop AI-based technology that assesses COVID-19 infection risks. "KT's new project will help combat the pandemic globally," said Kim Chae-Hee, head of KT's AI/Big Data division. "We at KT will do our best to help prevent COVID-19 from further spreading and raise the efficacy of medical service, using our AI and Big Data technologies for the sake of humanity." KT plans to use the pilot project results to apply for a larger-scale, RIGHT Fund-supported project in 2021. RIGHT Fund is a global health research funding agency established in 2018 with contributions from Korea's Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Korean life science companies to promote global public health. For the pilot project, KT plans to assess COVID-19 infection risks by using AI and Big Data to analyze data on the movement of smartphone users and those who have been tested positive for COVID-19 and made public by the government. "KT's project will help developing countries, which are faced with shortages of medical resource, prevent the pandemic from spreading and conduct appropriate examinations and treatments," said Kim Youn-Been, CEO of the RIGHT Fund. "We hope that the project, taking advantage of Korea's advanced expertise in ICT, will be carried out successfully to support developing countries in preventing, treating and managing the COVID-19 pandemic." Mobile Doctor Corp. is also participating in this project, which is scheduled to end in February 2021. Both KT and Mobile Doctor, a provider of data-based platforms and solutions for health management, are members of a consortium conducting "A Next Generation Surveillance Study for Epidemic Preparedness," a three-year research program financed by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. KT expects the assessment model, based on identification of those who have been exposed to carriers of the novel coronavirus directly and indirectly, will help prevent further transmission of the COVID-19 pandemic while minimizing the risk of personal information leakage. Korea's top telecom company also looks forward to acquiring the capabilities to identify vulnerable high-risk groups in case of a second wave of the pandemic or group infections,and promote an effective use of limited medical resources, such as medical personnel and test kits. Through the research, KT plans to further upgradeitsGlobal Epidemic Prevention Platform (GEPP), focusing on providing information on infection risks of contagious diseases and digital contact tracing. GEPP uses Big Data and social media to give updates to travelers going to countries hit by epidemics and to track the movement of infected individuals. At the same time, KT will help reduce the gap in the provision of medical service among different regions and different income groups in underdeveloped countries, using its information communication technology and digital capacity for research and development on health. Eight South Korean life science companies donated to the RIGHT Fund. The fund is dedicated to addressing inequalities in health between regions and income groups around the world, through research and development for vaccines, therapeutics, diagnostics and digital health technologies, taking advantage of Korea's advanced R&D capabilities. ##### End ##### MEDIA CONTACTS For inquiries, please contact our Foreign Media Relations Team at [emailprotected] ABOUT KT CORPORATION (KRX: 030200;NYSE: KT) KT Corp., Korea's largest telecommunications service provider, reestablished in 1981 under the Telecommunications Business Act, is leading the era of innovations in the world's most connected country.

OSLO, Norway--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oncoinvent AS, a clinical stage company advancing a pipeline of radiopharmaceutical products across a variety of solid cancers, today announced the advancement of its ongoing Phase 1 clinical study of Radspherin in ovarian cancer patients suffering from peritoneal carcinomatosis to the third level dose cohort following approval from the trial Safety Monitoring Committee. In this cohort, patients will receive 4MBq of Radspherin, and enrollment is expected to begin imminently. Radspherin, a versatile -emitting radionuclide therapy, is also being evaluated in an ongoing Phase 1 study in colorectal cancer patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. Peritoneal carcinomatosis is a very serious complication of ovarian cancer, often leaving patients with a poor prognosis, and we believe that Radspherin represents a potentially safe and transformative product candidate, offering patients a new treatment option, said Jan A. Alfheim, Chief Executive Officer of Oncoinvent. Radspherin leverages the unique properties of alpha-emitting microparticles to safely deliver localized radiation to cancer cells, while also minimizing off-target effects and the killing of healthy tissue. We are excited by our continued progress, and look forward to reporting dose-ranging data in the second quarter of 2021. I am pleased to see how, when administered, Radspherin is well tolerated and seems quite evenly distributed in the abdominal cavity of the patients that have been recruited to the RAD-18-001 study here at the Radium Hospital. With the safety results that have been seen in both the RAD-18-001 and RAD-18-002 studies, I am looking forward to initiating treatment of patients at the 4 MBq dose level. Said Dr. Yun Wang, Principle Investigator for the RAD-18-001 study at the Radium Hospital. About RAD-18-001 RAD-18-001 is an ongoing phase 1 open-label, dose-escalation clinical trial is designed to assess the dose, safety and tolerability of Radspherin, an -emitting radionuclide therapy, administered into the intraperitoneal cavity in subjects with peritoneal carcinomatosis from ovarian cancer following complete cytoreductive surgery. Key objectives in the study include determining maximum tolerated dose, abdominal biodistribution, and preliminary anti-tumor activity. Please refer to www.clinicaltrials.gov for additional clinical trial details. About Radspherin Radspherin is a novel alpha-emitting radioactive microsphere suspension designed for treatment of metastatic cancers in body cavities. The radium-224 based therapeutic, Radspherin has shown strong and consistent anticancer activity at doses being essentially non-toxic in preclinical studies. It is anticipated that the product can potentially be used to treat several forms of metastatic cancer. About Oncoinvent Oncoinvent AS is a clinical stage company developing innovative radiopharmaceutical technology that delivers precise, alpha-emitting particles across solid cancers. By leveraging internal manufacturing and supply chain capabilities to enable a clinical supply of radioisotopes, the company is advancing a pipeline of novel products that use alpha particles, a higher Linear Energy Transfer (LET) form of radiation, that can potentially eradicate cancer cells. Oncoinvents lead candidate, Radspherin, is designed for treatment of metastatic cancers in body cavities, and its versality allows it to be deployed for the treatment of a variety of cancer indications. Radspherin is in two ongoing Phase 1 studies to treat peritoneal carcinomatosis from both ovarian cancer and colorectal cancer.

Oncoinvent Announces Progression of Radspherin to Third Dose Level Cohort in Ongoing RAD-18-001 Phase 1 Trial in Platinum Sensitive Recurrent Ovarian Cancer Patients with Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Safety Monitoring Committee review of second dose-level cohort allows advancement of Phase 1 RAD-18-001 study to third cohort dose level cohort

MALLORCA, Spain, April 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --Wall Street veteran and author of "The Millionaire Dropout" Vince Stanzione weighed in on the flurry of activity and short-selling scandals that have rocked financial markets over the last few months. With the financial media recently laser-focused on stories like the independent retail traders of Reddit and the Gamestop (GME) squeeze campaign, Stanzione addressed what he believes is an unfair characterization portrayingshort-selling as financially irresponsible and malicious. Continue Reading Self Made Multi Millionaire Trader Vince Stanzione believes the next 12 to 18 months will be a very lucrative time for short sellers and retail traders can also profit from falling stock prices Financial Trader Vince Stanzione and New York Times Bestselling Author Millionaire Dropout "Short selling is the act of selling a stock you do not own, which you have to borrow in the market in the expectation that the price of the stock will decline, before buying the stock back (hopefully at a lower price) and returning the stock to the lender," said Stanzione. "For example, if I short 100 shares of a stock at $120 and that stock then goes down to $100, I can buy the stock back at less than I paid for it and make a profit. In Europe, Contracts for Difference (CFDs) have been used for over 25 years by professional and retail traders to profit from a range of markets including stocks, indices and commodities. Financial Futures and traded options (put options) have been around for many decades. These allow you to profit or hedge from down movements. The idea of making money from a falling price is not new. Retail customers especially in the U.S. tend to shy away from short selling. Going Short Has a Limited UpsideStanzione also noted that the maximum potential gain on shorting a stock is 1x, as the most a company can go down to is zero and that is an extremely rare event. Returns can be magnified with leverage or using a traded option. On the other side, a stock does not have a maximum upside and could easily go up 500%. In theory, there is no limit to the potential losses from being short, so it is important to manage risk and position size correctly. Short squeezes, where rapid and significant upward price moves cause short sellers to cover in mass quantities, can push prices against short sellers. "Even in a bull market there are always opportunities to profit from falling individual stocks," Stanzione said. "But overall, the majority of my trading gains remain from being long stocks. Short selling is a bit like driving a car: most of the time you're going forward, but at times you will need to reverse. We have witnessed a very favorable period for stocks, with many speculative names and SPAC stocks moving based on a lot of hype and rosy expectations all of which are likely to disappoint. These are the types of scenarios where going short makes sense as a stock returns back to a price in-line with the fundamentals. It's worth remembering though that markets take the stairs up, but often take the elevator going down. It's not unusual to see large falls in a stock happen over short periods, especially when things start to go wrong. But I believe the next 12 to 18 months will be a very lucrative time for short sellers."For more marketing insights, expert opinions, and trading analysis, follow Vince Stanzione on social media: Twitter, LinkedIn.About Vince StanzioneA self-made multimillionaire, Vince Stanzione has been trading markets for over 35 years and is the author of the New York Times Best Selling "The Millionaire Dropout," along with "Making Money from Financial Spread Trading."

PORTLAND, Ind., Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Market-leading provider of vehicle safety systems Brigade Electronics has launched a new indicator warning alarm to alert vulnerable road users when a vehicle is turning.The bbs-TI, which is installed on the nearside of the vehicle, will synchronize an audible warning alarm with the indicator lights when activated, alerting vulnerable road users to a vehicle's intention to turn. Continue Reading Brigade Electronics launches new vehicle turning indicator alarm to alert vulnerable road users (PRNewsfoto/Brigade Electronics) The new vehicle safety system will harness Brigade's existing White Sound broadband technology, which will enable vulnerable road users to instantly locate which direction the sound is coming from. Gentler on the ear compared to traditional tonal alarms, White Sound dissipates quickly and can only be heard in the danger zone, helping to reduce unnecessary noise disturbances. For vehicles operating in multiple countries, White Sound alarms have the additional benefit of being universally recognizable, meaning language barriers caused by traditional speaking alarms are eliminated.bbs-TI's features include: Visual and audible vehicle turning warning to alert vulnerable road users Suitable for use in multiple countries no language barrier Optional muting of the alarm for night-time hours Option to activate the alarm below a designated speed only Synchronizes bbs White Soundtechnology with the vehicle's indicator flash Suitable for left turn or right turn installations Complies with regulations and legislations that require an 'audible vehicle maneuvering warning for vulnerable road users' when a vehicle is turning Corey Heniser, a road safety specialist at Brigade Electronics INC, said:"One of the leading causes of collisions between vehicles and other road users is when a vehicle is turning. Much has been developed to improve driver awareness of pedestrians and cyclists in the vehicle's nearside blind spot, but this doesn't always help vulnerable road users especially if they are traveling at speed and go unnoticed by the driver. The bbs-TI, which is compatible with Brigade's side camera monitoring systems and sidescan ultrasonics, will help to protect vulnerable road users and make fleets even safer."Photo: https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/1418832/Brigade_Electronics.jpg SOURCE Brigade Electronics

DUBLIN, Aug. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Automotive TIC Market with COVID-19 impact, by Service (Testing, Inspection, Certification), Sourcing, Application (Vehicle Inspection, Electrical & Components), and Geography; Periodic Technical Inspection Market, by Region - Global Forecast to 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The global automotive TIC market is expected to grow from USD 16.5 billion in 2020 to USD 20.5 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 4.3%.The growth of this market can be attributed to the increasing automobile production in emerging economies, growing inclination toward outsourcing TIC services, rising focus of governments to impose strict regulatory standards on the automotive industry, surging adoption of automotive electronics to maintain passenger and vehicle safety, augmenting awareness among consumers regarding product quality and safety, and increasing instances of vehicle recalls due to component failures. However, varying regulations/standards across various regions is the factor that restrains the market growth. The global automotive industry is facing a slowdown due to the lockdown in several countries, resulting in disrupted supply chains, shut down of manufacturing, and decline in vehicle sales globally. The decline in sales of vehicles has impacted the global automotive TIC market. The automotive TIC market in the pre-and post-COVID-19 scenario has been analyzed further in this study.Certification services to register highest CAGR in automotive TIC market, by service type, during the forecast periodIn the TIC ecosystem, certification services validate the test and inspection results against a range of pre-specified standards set by governments, international standardization institutions, or clients. In the current scenario, certification services are widely used by manufacturers to demonstrate if their products adhere to the government/regulatory mandates, as well as to improve the marketability of their offerings. Certification services re crucial for manufacturers to ensure the compliance of their products with regulatory standards, thereby improving the marketability of products/services. In-house services to hold a larger size of automotive TIC market, by sourcing type, during the forecast periodIn automotive applications, in-house testing of electronic control units (ECUs) and other core components is done by automakers at their manufacturing facilities. They are collaborating with public bodies and organizations including customs, competition authorities, and industrial health and safety authorities for conducting activities related to quality control and assurance. Conducting in-house TIC services allow manufacturers to exert higher levels of control by keeping services and personnel under direct control; therefore, in-house services are likely to capture a larger share of the automotive TIC market. In-house services not only lower the risks associated with poor vehicle maintenance, including equipment failure and crashes but also enable manufacturers to identify the problems instantaneously.Vehicle inspection services to hold the largest size of automotive TIC market, by application, during the forecast periodVehicle inspection is the process of inspecting vehicles to ensure that they conform to safety and emission regulations mandated by national or subnational governments. Vehicles have to undergo a safety inspection before registration. Vehicle inspection services are performed for new, as well as used/resale vehicles. Vehicle inspection services for new vehicles include a comprehensive inspection of the overall vehicle, which includes inspection of electrical systems and components; electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and battery systems; telematics; and others.Automotive TIC market in Europe to hold largest market size during the forecast periodEurope is an important hub for the automotive sector owing to the presence of major automobile manufacturing companies such as Robert Bosch GmbH (Germany), Volkswagen AG (Germany), and Daimler AG (Germany). Consistent development of vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure, and in-vehicle entertainment technologies is expected to drive the studied market during the forecast period. However, the major economies of Europe, Germany, the UK, Spain, France, and Italy have reported the high production loss in automotive since the outbreak of the pandemic.
