(Nasdaq: VCYT), a global genomic diagnostics company with a presence in seven of the top ten cancers in the United States, announced today that six abstracts for its genomic tests in lung, prostate and thyroid cancers will be presented at the 2021 ASCO Annual Meeting, which will be held virtually June 4-8, 2021. The accepted abstracts include pivotal clinical validation data for Veracytes Percepta Nasal Swab. This first-of-its-kind, non-invasive test will help physicians determine which patients with lung nodules found on CT scans are at low risk for cancer and can be safely directed to routine monitoring without fear of missing a cancer and which patients should undergo further, including potentially more-aggressive, clinical work-up. Veracyte plans to introduce the nasal swab-based genomic test in the second half of 2021, as part of the companys comprehensive lung cancer portfolio. We are thrilled with the compelling data that will be presented at ASCO, which reflect our tests ability to positively impact patient care in a range of major cancers, said Bonnie Anderson, Veracytes chairman and chief executive officer. We are particularly excited about the opportunity in lung cancer, where early detection can save lives, but where distinguishing between cancerous and benign lung nodules is often challenging and can lead to missed cancers or unnecessary procedures. We believe our Percepta Nasal Swab test is going to be a game-changer for patients being evaluated for lung cancer. Among other Veracyte highlights, researchers will share prospective validation data for the Decipher Prostate test, demonstrating the genomic tests ability to predict aggressive prostate cancers among African American men as compared to the use of clinical factors alone. Below are details of the Veracyte abstracts accepted for presentation at ASCO. All posters will be available to meeting registrants on demand beginning June 4, 2021, at 9:00 a.m. EDT.

(TSXV: BRM) (\"Biorem\" or \"the Company\") today announced the successful completion of two research projects for the mitigation of volatile organic compounds from complex industrial gas emissions. Both projects were to assess and compare the efficacy of BIOREM's enhanced biological processes against legacy abatement technologies. Historically, thermal oxidation or chemical scrubbing has been utilized for mitigating complex industrial emissions. The high operating costs, safety concerns and generation of secondary contaminants all contribute to very large carbon footprints for these technologies. Industry is currently engaged in the pursuit of solutions that vastly reduce the climate change impacts of their operations and looking for safe, cost effective and reliable alternatives. Late in 2019, in partnership with Samsung, BIOREM installed a novel biological system at one of their semiconductor facilities in South Korea. The engineering of the process and equipment was completed in North America, while the procurement and delivery of the prototype system leveraged BIOREM's supply chain and manufacturing capabilities in China. With a year of operating data, the performance of the system exceeded expectations and the unit was purchased by Samsung to continue to mitigate process emissions. In early 2020, at the invitation of SABIC Innovative Plastics (China)Co. Ltd. (\"SABIC\"), BIOREM's North American and Asian engineering teams successfully designed and implemented another novel application of environmental biotechnology at a SABIC production facility in China. The system was designed to use biological processes to remove gaseous phase emissions associated with the production of specialty thermoplastics at the facility. Performance on this demonstration project has also exceeded expectations and is expected to lead to full scale implementation of the technology. \"Both of these successful demonstration projects encapsulate the strengths of BIOREM: innovative solutions; world-class engineering; as well as resilient supply chains and manufacturing, said Derek S. Webb, CEO of BIOREM. They also demonstrate BIOREM's ability to work closely with industry and government to develop solutions to address current air quality and climate change challenges.\" Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. is a South Korean multinational company headquartered in Yeongtong District of Suwon. They have assembly plants and sales networks in 74 countries and employ around 290,000 people.

Playground Global led the round and was joined by pre-seed lead Fifty Years and early investors GETTYLAB and Allston Venture Fund. The investment will enable the company to expand the team and accelerate the development of a proprietary protein quantitation platform. Manifold Bio was founded by CEO Gleb Kuznetsov, Ph.D., and CSO Pierce Ogden, Ph.D., along with George Church, Ph.D., Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering. They are joined by co-founder and Head of Business Development Shane Lofgren who previously helped build companies that emerged from Stanford and MD Anderson. The most valuable data on a candidate drug comes from testing it in a living system, says co-founder and CEO Gleb Kuznetsov. Despite the advent of high-throughput technologies early in the discovery pipeline, drug development teams eventually run into the bottleneck of testing only one molecule at a time in the most relevant biological assays and animals. At Manifold Bio, were focused on building a platform that removes this barrier and allows us and our partners to pursue cures for devastating diseases much more rapidly. Weve seen exponential advances that allow us to synthesize millions of strands of DNA and sequence billions of DNA bases, but the number of drugs that can be tested in relevant animal models remains in the single digits, said co-founder George Church, who introduced Manifold Bio in a keynote last week at PEGS, the premier industry protein engineering conference. With the technology and talented interdisciplinary team were building at Manifold Bio, well be able to bring the massively parallel economics of multiplexing to bear on engineering protein therapeutics. Manifold Bios platform will allow multiplexed (pooled) tracking and quantification of thousands of unique protein designs, including monoclonal antibodies and other protein therapeutic scaffolds, across a range of complex testing environments. By turning protein engineering into a DNA synthesis and sequencing problem, were able to learn biological design principles directly from rich data generated by our novel in vivo assays, co-founder and CSO Pierce Ogden said. Last year, Ogden published a ground-breaking paper in Science demonstrating in vivo screening of more than 200,000 gene therapy virus designs. Now, were building the platform technology for the larger space of protein therapeutics. The key is making it possible to test and quantify mixtures of designs directly where it matters--in vivo disease models. These advances will pave the way toward our goal of transforming drug discovery into measurement-driven drug design. Too many of the drug discovery startups we see are focused primarily on computation and improving the beginning of the drug development funnel, only to revert to traditional and painfully inefficient artisanal methods as therapies approach the clinic, said Jory Bell, Partner at Playground Global. Manifold Bio has developed an entirely new approach to engineering which profoundly impacts all phases of development. By enabling high throughput in vivo screening of protein therapeutics, Manifold Bio can discover new biologics at scale, said Seth Bannon, Founding Partner at Fifty Years. Their approach allows generating valuable data faster and at a lower financial and ethical cost, leading to cures that have evaded traditional methods. Playground Globals Jory Bell will join Manifold Bios board of directors. About Manifold Manifold Bios mission is to bring the power of multiplexed measurement to engineering life-saving therapeutics.

Previously known as ArcGIS Analytics for IoT, Velocity is a new cloud-native capability for ingestion, processing, visualization, and analysis of real-time and high-volume geospatial data on the fly. It complements existing systems with geographic information system (GIS) technology by spatially enabling Internet of Things (IoT) data from current providers and simplifying real-time data analysis. Velocity enables users to capture information from sensors, moving objects, or anything that changes over time, and then automatically flag patterns, trends, and anomalies. This will allow deployed personnel to access time-critical information the moment they need it. \"This new capability will help organizations take advantage of the insights made possible by the Internet of Things with up-to-the-second data and improved situational awareness,\" said Jack Dangermond, Esri founder and president. \"Organizations will now be able to easily connect to the increasingly real-time world.\" ArcGIS Velocity is also now available in two additional license levelsStandard and Advanced. These new licenses offer different storage and compute capabilities and will make Velocity more accessible for customers across industries such as commercial, natural resources, utilities, transportation, national government, water and wastewater, and public safety. Being able to have real-time insight into vehicle travel across the state has always seemed like a pipe-dream, but ArcGIS Velocity makes it not only a reality, but an easy-to-achieve reality, said Roger Cleaves, GIS Specialist, California Department of Toxic Substances Control. Since its all hosted on the cloud, setup couldnt have been easier, allowing us to start answering important questions regarding hazardous waste instantaneously. The potential is endless, from real-time notifications to capacity planning, and even environmental impact modeling. Organizations across industries can improve their operations by better leveraging IoT data produced by devices and sensors. Remote monitoring of assets, predictive maintenance, and process optimization are a few of the benefits that can be gained from IoT data. ArcGIS Velocity lets users incorporate geospatial analysis into their decision-making as well as share results in the form of a map, feature, or stream service that can be used in other ArcGIS applications. Via a simple drag-and-drop interface, users can create dynamic processing pipelines that combine functions from a rich library of fast spatial operations. These include geofencing, buffering, pattern detection, spatial aggregation, spatial enrichment, and proximity alerting. ArcGIS Velocity results can then be pushed as alerts or directly published as GIS maps and data services for use across the enterprise by any application for additional data fusion, mapmaking, or analysis.

Use your understanding of the content to express the main ideas and crucial details in a shorter, coherent, and natural sounding text. \nText: IRVINE, Calif., March 13,2020 /PRNewswire/ --Public concerns about the global coronavirus pandemic have inspired a wave of dubious robocalls that seem to exploit consumer fears amid ongoing uncertainty about the COVID-19 crisis, according to YouMail Inc., creator of the YouMail Robocall Index. YouMail researchers have uncovered robocalls referring to the coronavirus to promote an Amazon work-from-home scam, an HVAC cleaning scam, as well as two highly questionable marketing robocalls promoting coronavirus health services and supplements; a series of robocalls pushing political surveys; and many other robocalls involving legitimate efforts by school districts and other agencies to issue relevant public service announcements. \"The current robocalls we've identified are likely the first in what will likely be a quickly expanding set of robocalls leveraging the current COVID-19 pandemic., said Alex Quilici, CEO of YouMail. \"As with all unknown or unexpected robocalls, it's buyer beware and we recommend consumers ignore them.\" The Robocall Scams In Detail One scam robocall involves an offer for services to sanitize \"ducts and air filters to protect your loved ones from the coronavirus.\" This offer comes despite the fact that the virus is transmitted by droplets from an infected person, not by bacteria in air filters, and that many of these calls are made without consent. Here is the transcription and audio file of this robocall content: \"We recommend sanitizing your ducts and air filters to protect your loved ones from the coronavirus. For only $159 our highly trained technicians will do a full air duct cleaning and sanitation to make sure the air you breathe is free of bacteria. So, don't hesitate. Press 0 and have your duct system cleaned and sanitized now. Press 9 to be removed from this list.\" Another type of robocall that preys on fears about making public contact involves a scam to earn $400 per day by working from home for Amazon.com. Here is the transcription and audio file of this robocall content: \"This is a call regarding the Amazon associate program. Amazon recognizes the health concerns concerning the coronavirus. Amazon is offering you an opportunity to work from home as an associate member and make up to $400 a day. No experience of any kind is necessary. Training will be provided. To learn more and see if you qualify, please call our automated line at 279-333-8313. Please press 9 now if you wish to be placed on the Do Not Call list.\" Other robocalls focus on health-related services, like insurance or supplements. One robocaller with very questionable behavior offers low-cost health care plans using the same callback number employed by a massive national health insurance robocall campaign. Here is the transcription and audio file of this robocall content: \"This is Safe Health Central. To opt out of receiving calls, please call our toll free listed at the end of this message. The coronavirus is spreading. Keep your family safe and secure and speak to one of our health agents about getting you covered with the lowest cost health plan in the country. Now is the time to act. Don't be late. Press 2 to speak with one of our licensed agents. Or if you're busy, press 9 and receive a call back in 24 to 48 hours. Or if you would like to opt out, you may call our toll free number 844-989-1702 or press 1 now. Thank you.\" Still another robocall pushes a questionable health supplement product, ostensibly to boost the body's immune system. Here is the transcription and audio file of this robocall content: \"Hello this is Anna with Farm Origins and I really encourage you to listen to this whole message. We want to help our customers defend against the coronavirus, so we are shipping a free immunity booster. Please call us back at 888-964-5327 to confirm your order. If phone lines are jammed due to high demand, we can also process your order over live track found on FarmOrigins.com. We are trying to supply as many as possible, but these are first come first serve. Thank you. Have a great day.\" In addition, a whole series of robocalls are now promoting conservative political surveys, including questions about President Trump, Senator Bernie Sanders, recent stock market volatility and more. Here is just one example of a transcription and audio file of this robocall content: \"My fellow Americans, this is a Republican House Committee survey. The coronavirus has just caused the Dow to drop 1000 this week. Some analysts say this is just the beginning. Are you prepared for this crash? Press 1 to be connected now.\" The Legitimate Robocallers On the bright side, YouMail has identified numerous legitimate robocalls by public officials and school districts offering a range of updates about local infections, school closures, sporting events and other cancellations. Here is the transcription and audio file of one of these valid robocalls: \"Good evening this is superintendent Austin Beutner with an update on our efforts to help prevent the spread of coronavirus in our schools. While there are 27 identified cases of the virus in Los Angeles County, none have any known connection to our schools. We're implementing effective immediately a series of steps based on recommendations from public health officials to help stop the spread of the virus. All of our student and staff gatherings are canceled, as well as off-campus visits by students and staff to public places where crowds may gather. Student events and competitions may continue without any spectators. We recognize this will cause difficulty and disappointment. Students and educators work hard to prepare for the competitions and events. Families and community members are an essential part of schools and we encourage their engagement and active participation, but at this time these steps are necessary. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Please feel free to call our hotline at 213-443-1300 with any questions or check our website at LAUSD.net for updated information.\" Consumers should be aware that many robocalls today may involve schemes to make money or sow disinformation about the spread of the virus. For this reason, YouMail cautions people not to pick up any calls from unfamiliar phone numbers and instead let them roll into voicemail for further scrutiny. About YouMail, Inc. YouMail, Inc.provides imaginative, intelligent, cloud-based telecommunication services.

Limit alcohol advertising in all media, especially on government-controlled property and where children or targeted populations are exposed. Make the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control effective, efficient, transparent, and accountable to public health and safety concerns of the community, and not to cater to industry profits and license expediency, through policies that reduce alcohol outlet density and increase funding for alcohol control, regulation, and enforcement. Eliminate product lines (such as alcopops and malt liquors) oriented to underage youth and vulnerable or targeted populations. Reduce the allowable blood alcohol content for drivers as \"Point .05 Saves Lives\" Improve labelling and out-of-home advertising of all alcohol products to ensure a) no marketing to youth, b) no indications of unsubstantiated health claims, c) display of alcohol content by volume and percentage and d) display of harms.

Facility management (FM) is gaining traction in the GCC, as more end-users have begun to appreciate the impact FM has on the bottom line; energy management is now being incorporated into FM Contracts. Besides, the use of sophisticated assets means that they will require higher quality and standards of asset management. With mega-events, such as the EXPO 2020 and FIFA world cup 2022 set to showcase the region to the world, FM will no longer be considered a labor-intensive process but will be a factor that has a positive impact on the brand and the value of companies. Booming business in the construction, hospitality, and tourism sectors will be the top driver while the lack of qualified personnel, perception of FM outsourcing as loss of control, and the largely unorganized structure of the market will be the top challenges. Though strategic partnerships are certain to garner market share, this report offers insights into the growth opportunities available and critical factors that participants may consider for succeeding in the industry. This study captures major technological trends that will define the future of FM services in the GCC and general trends observed in each of the countries in the GCC. While UAE is the most advanced in terms of adoption of technology and service expectations on par with the rest of the world, other countries in the region are warming up to the idea that FM outsourcing could in fact lead to operational efficiency and have a positive impact on the profits. The study covers key trends from 2020 to 2024 and predictions and forecasts for up to 2024. This study also presents the competitive landscape, market share in major markets, competitive trends, the impact of technology, growth opportunities, and critical success factors. Key participants are expected to consider strategic partnerships to gain market share and mine for opportunities in energy management, waste management, and other adjacencies to stay ahead of the competition. Key Issues Addressed What is the market outlook for FM in GCC? How is the competitive landscape? What are the main competitive factors for participants in the market? What are the key growth opportunities for market participants? What are the demand drivers and challenges in the region and how are they likely to impact future market growth? What are the key technology and other trends affecting the market? Key Topics Covered: 1. Strategic Imperatives Why Is It Increasingly Difficult to Grow?

Use your understanding of the content to express the main ideas and crucial details in a shorter, coherent, and natural sounding text. \nText: GLEN ALLEN, Va., June 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company (NYSE: HBB) announced today that in connection with its previously disclosed investigation into certain accounting irregularities at its subsidiary in Mexico, the Audit Review Committee of the Board of Directors,after discussion with the Company's management and its independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the Company's previously issued consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, each of the quarters during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and other financial data relating to these periods should no longer be relied upon. The Company intends to file restated consolidated financial statements for all periods referenced above as soon as practicable. The Company will also issue an earnings release for the 2020 first quarter and hold an investor conference call, the dates of which will be announced in a future press release. As disclosed on May 11, 2020, the Company discovered the accounting irregularities during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The Company's Audit Review Committee commenced an internal investigation with the assistance of outside counsel and other third party experts. As a result of the investigation, the Company, along with the Audit Review Committee and its third party experts, concluded that certain employees of the Company's Mexican subsidiary engaged in unauthorized transactions with the Company's Mexican subsidiary that resulted in the recording of assets that are not realizable. As a result, the Company will record a non-cash write-off for certain amounts erroneously included in the Company's historical financial statements in trade receivables, prepaid expenses and other current assets and will restate its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and each of the quarters during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company estimates the impact of these adjustments to be a reduction to net income from continuing operations in the range of approximately $6 million to $9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 and $4 million to $6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. These preliminary estimates are based on currently available information and are subject to change during the course of the ongoing investigation. The investigation is continuing and there is no assurance that additional items will not be identified. \"We were very disappointed to learn of unauthorized transactions engaged in by certain employees of our subsidiary in Mexico, and we are committed to providing restated financial statements as soon as practicable,\" said Gregory H. Trepp, president and chief executive officer of Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company. \"The correction of the accounting errors does not impact our cash flows for the affected years, and, most importantly, none of this changes the fundamental strength of our business. We are a leader in an industry with strong consumer demand during the global pandemic. Our diversified retailer relationships and our years of investment in ecommerce, including our fast growing Direct to Consumer capabilities, have positioned us well in this COVID-19 environment. Our first quarter revenue was solid, and we delivered significant improvements in inventory, trade receivables, cash flow and debt,\" said Mr. Trepp. The Company provided the following update on first quarter 2020 results and the impact of COVID-19 on its business. First Quarter 2020 Compared to First Quarter 2019 The first quarter began with strong momentum across all markets. Revenue was trending ahead of prior year until government measures to control the spread of COVID-19 were implemented and the quarter ended an estimated 4% to 5% behind the prior year first quarter. In the U.S. and Canada, consumer demand was strong for many small kitchen appliance categories as stay-at-home orders led to an increased focus on basic needs such as food and beverage preparation. Revenue from these markets provided stability for category demand and held steady to prior year. Sales of \"Only-the-Best\" or premium products increased. Ecommerce sales increased significantly and accounted for more than 25% of total revenue. On the other hand, revenue from the International Consumer and Global Commercial markets decreased due to the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Inventory levels decreased significantly as a result of ongoing inventory control, strong supply chain management during the challenging COVID-19 environment faced by the Company's third-party suppliers and robust pandemic-related orders from certain retailers. Additionally, as expected, due to the late order pattern in the 2019 holiday selling season, trade receivables in the first quarter of 2020 decreased significantly compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash used for operating activities from continuing operations was approximately $10 million, a significant improvement that resulted from favorable changes in net working capital. Capital expenditures were $0.6 million. Debt was $69.5 million at March 31, 2020 and reflected reduced inventory and improved cash flow. There were no share repurchases during the first quarter. The Company declared a regular cash dividend of $0.09 per share on May 12, 2020, payable on June 16, 2020. The dissolution of Kitchen Collection was completed on April 3, 2020 and Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company is no longer impacted by its losses and negative cash flow. COVID-19 Related Business Update The Company is effectively navigating the COVID-19 pandemic. Its strategy to provide a comprehensive portfolio of iconic brands, covering 50+ categories, at price points ranging from value to luxury, has positioned Hamilton Beach Brands well to serve consumer needs during the pandemic as have its investments in experienced team members globally, global infrastructure and strategic initiatives. There are no operational or supply chain issues that are preventing the Company from conducting business.A range of measures to maintain financial flexibility continue in place, including eliminating discretionary expenses, implementing a hiring freeze and focusing capital spending on critical projects. In the U.S. and Canada, demand for many categories of small kitchen appliances remains strong as many consumers continue to stay at home and adopt new habits for meal and beverage preparation. Second quarter sales of Hamilton Beach Brands products are strong and have the potential to be even with or slightly above prior year. The Company continues to demonstrate strong control of inventory and significantly improved cash flow. Small improvements are unfolding in the International Consumer market, while the Commercial market continues to be difficult due to the impact of the pandemic on the food service and hotel industries. The Company is well positioned to maximize any rebound in the Commercial market. New product development and introductions continue even with cross-functional employee teams working remotely. New products such as air fryers, breakfast appliances, various new coffee makers including single-serve and the Bartesian premium cocktail machine, among others, have been well received in the marketplace. Hamilton Beach Brands continues to work to mitigate the spread of the virus, protect the safety and health of employees, and serve customers and consumers.

However, these statements involve risks and uncertainties, including: (i) those risks and uncertainties related to the continued spread and extent of the impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic, including the speed, depth, geographic reach and duration of the spread, which could lead to a decrease in demand for the Companys products and services, and which has disrupted, and could lead to further disruptions in, the Companys supply chain, adversely impacting the operations and financial condition of the Company and its customers; actions that have been taken and that may be taken by the Company, its customers, suppliers and counterparties in response to the pandemic, including the implementation of alternative work arrangements for employees, which may delay the timing of some orders and expected deliveries and which may impact the Companys ability to mitigate inefficiencies, delays and additional costs in the Companys product development, sales, marketing and customer service efforts; the legal, regulatory and administrative developments that occur at the federal, state and local levels and in foreign jurisdictions in response to the pandemic, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, and business limitations and shutdowns; potential disruptions, breaches, or other incidents affecting the proper operation, availability or security of the Companys or its partners information systems; declines in revenues due to declining customer demand and deteriorating macroeconomic conditions; potential increased expenses related to labor, raw materials, freight or other expenditures; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Companys liquidity, as well as risks associated with disruptions in the financial markets and the business of financial institutions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic which could impact the Company from a financial perspective; (ii) those risks and uncertainties related to evolving U.S. and foreign laws and regulations regarding privacy, data protection and other matters, including uncertainty and potential additional compliance obligations arising from the Court of Justice of the European Unions recent issuance of a decision that invalidated the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield framework as a basis for transfers of personal data from the EU to the U.S.; and (iii) the other risks detailed in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements included in this press release. To provide additional transparency, we have disclosed in the tables below non-GAAP operating income (loss), which has been reconciled to operating income (loss), and non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share - basic and diluted, which have been reconciled to net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share - basic and diluted, in each case as reported based on Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain items which management believes are not reflective of the ongoing operating performance of the business. We believe this information is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of our ongoing operations. Additionally, these measures are used by management in our ongoing planning and annual budgeting processes. The presentation of non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share - basic and diluted, when combined with the U.S. GAAP presentation of operating income (loss), net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share - basic and diluted, is beneficial to the overall understanding of ongoing operating performance of the Company. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with, and are not an alternative for, U.S. GAAP and therefore should not be considered in isolation or as a substitution for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Additionally, our calculation of non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share - basic and diluted, may not be comparable to similar measures calculated by other companies.

On the floors, we're seeing a much wider wood plank in lighter colors and washes.\" Unlike the boho beach style that emerged years ago, this trend lends itself to organic beachy elegance. Living well:Staying healthy is top of mind for everyone these days. And with consumers spending more and more time in their homes, Taylor Morrison observed buyers craving healthy home features and products. This inspired the homebuilder's new brand, TM LiveWell, which launched in the summer and is focused on providing standard wellness features that promote safer paint, healthier air and cleaner water in all new homes. \"Consumers are consciously aware of the health benefits and perceived risks in virtually every environment they're entering todaystores, schools, planesso naturally they're just as tuned in to the health of their homes,\" said Taylor Morrison Chairman and CEO Sheryl Palmer in a press release earlier this year. Earthy and grounded: Sherwin-Williams, the exclusive paint vendor of Taylor Morrison, recently revealed its 2021 Color of the Year: Urbane Bronze SW 7048. \"The home is now the ultimate retreat from the world, and color is an easy and effective way to create a personal haven,\" said Sue Wadden, director of color marketing at Sherwin-Williams. \"Urbane Bronze encourages you to create a sanctuary space for mindful reflection and renewal.\" If you want to add the Color of the Year to your space, Dallas based designer Lee Crowder recommends using this shade in bedrooms, powder baths, media rooms and home offices. Organized and orderly: With extra free time to devote to finally finishing those abandoned Marie Kondo organizational projectsand the latest binge-worthy Netflix series, \"Get Organized with The Home Edit,\" that inspired viewers with dreamy color-coded closets and clear acrylic organization binsa desire for tidy and orderly homes is an anticipated trend in the new year. \"With tough lessons from 2020 still fresh in our minds, I think we'll begin to see our buyers view their hometheir sanctuary, reallyas something much more sacred,\" said Crowder. \"I'm a firm believer that you have to make your space function in a way that's right for you and your family. It should be a place you truly love.\" Life in color: For the first time, Taylor Morrison is excited to release a palette of paint colors for their \"2021 Color Collection\" in collaboration with Sherwin-Williams. These six shades hand-selected by in-house color specialists are as versatile as they are eye-catching. \"Our base shade for the palette is City Loft SW 7631a warm and timeless neutral we use again and again in our homes. We've paired it with Sherwin-Williams' Color of the Year, Urbane Bronze SW 7048, for a combination that adds contrast, depth and sophistication,\" said Crowder. \"Then, we layered in our accent colors: Sand Trap SW 6066, Sea Salt SW 6204, Canyon Clay SW 6054 and Rosemary SW 6187. These four shades represent different stages of verdigristhe range of colors seen as copper ages and oxidizes.\" Moody and brooding: According to Charlotte based designer Brittany Wightman, home trends will continue to move away from cool greys and toward moodier, dramatic hues. On the rise is dark, rich cabinetry, vibrant or dark tile backsplashes and contrasting bright white countertops. Less is more: Earlier this year, Taylor Morrison launched a new program designed to take the guesswork and \"decision fatigue\" out of the design process. \"Canvasby Taylor Morrison gives our customers the opportunity to select from a handful of curated, bespoke collections that fit both their style and budget,\" said Chief Customer Officer Amy Rino. \"This new way of designing your home takes the sometimes-overwhelming number of options customers are presented with out of the equation, instead, offering them tailored and preset designer pairings. This gives our buyers peace of mind knowing that their selections will look stunning in their new home.\" Neutral warmth:With so many homes turning into workplaces, schools and gyms, designing cozy and inviting living spaces has never been so important. \"The neutral palette has become very popular among our buyers. They want natural wood flooring and cabinetry and neutral wall colorsall in warmer hues,\" said Denver based design expert Stacy Ristedt. Metallic mix and match:For the past two years, Taylor Morrison designers have touted the idea of mixing distinctive metallic finishes for hardware, lighting and plumbing. 2021 will continue to see this trend on the rise. \"We're seeing a lot of mixed metals in our marketblack and gold especially,\"said Houston designer Kelly Rambo. Just be sure not to overdo the gold, as Atlanta based design expert Terance Manly explained, \"I think gold should be used tastefully and sparingly, just a pop here or there.\" Consider adding flair to your home by choosing a gold faucet for your kitchen or bar. That way, if you come to prefer a different style down the line, it's an easy update to make. Farmhouse fever: \"In the South, we're seeing a big push for a more modern farmhouse,\" said Manly. \"Expect to see light wood flooring, geometrical patterns, earthy undertones, shiplap and mid-century modern furniture with touches of leather and velvet.\" While the classic farmhouse look has been around for a while, this modern trend merges old style with new world elements.

This annual event takes place every March and is the only movement dedicated exclusively to promoting ladder safety at work and in the home. According to the American Ladder Institute (ALI), there are more than 136,000 ladder-related emergency room visits per year. However, ladder accidents are preventable, and Werner is committed to creating training and resources that can help build safer work environments. National Ladder Safety Month increases awareness for the safe use of ladders through education, resources and training programs. \"Werner is deeply committed to providing solutions that keep our end-users safe and productive. In support of that commitment, we are partnering with the American Ladder Institute by continuing our sponsorship of Ladder Safety Month,\" said Pat McAuliffe, Vice President of Engineering at WernerCo and ALI Board Member. \"Over the next month, Werner product managers and safety experts will be hosting webinars and encourage participating in training modules that help professionals and home improvement consumers alike accomplish more, safely.\" Every Tuesday throughout the month of March, Werner will present safety-focused webinars.

These new state-of-the-art PoE cameras use Deep Sentinel's proprietary artificial intelligence to detect potential threats, alerting one of the company's LiveSentinel guards to any suspicious activity. Guards then intervene through the system's two-way audio and 100+ dB siren, and (if needed) contact local law enforcement within seconds.Deep Sentinel has a false alarm rate of 0%.

According to Psychology Today, divorce agreements rose a staggering 34% in 2020 compared to last year.The site features articles, columns, and live/recorded video workshops taught by therapists, divorce coaches, financial planners, lawyers and more - and designed to address the many distinct issues women face when moving through divorce.

However, advice available on the internet is confusing at best. \"The internet is overflowing with divorce information - much of it confusing, incomplete, or even inaccurate,\" said Chapter 2 Club Founder/CEO Matana LePlae. \"What's been missing is a single organized and trustworthy place, where women can find solace and solutions.\"LePlae, a marketing consultant and divorced mom, found some of her friends' breaking up during the stay-at-home orders, and remembered how overwhelming it was to go through her divorce eight years ago. With COVID and lockdowns making most face-to-face meetings impossible, Chapter 2 Club provides a safe space for women.During the pandemic, LePlae decided to do something about helping and turned her blog for women going through divorce, which boasts nearly a 15,000 Facebook group, into a more comprehensive platform.\"I had a great support system of friends and family that I could see at the time of my divorce,\" said the two-time startup founder. \"I couldn't imagine what it would be like to go through this now during a social-distancing world.\"Chapter 2 Club has implemented an algorithmic smart search function where answering a few questions tailors content based on personal situations.Experts are interviewed weekly on topics such as co-parenting challenges, how to split up retirement assets, and ways to keep legal fees under control. Columns featuring Chapter 2 Club members provide a first-person snapshot of how to overcome divorce, and gives members a confidential forum to exchange ideas.Chapter 2 Club's content and unlimited attendance at video workshops is currently free during their trial period.Along with LePlae's co-founder and sister, Malinee Churanakoses, Chapter 2 Club utilizes a vast network of vetted experts, and pulls from the experience of women who have gone through divorce. \"We are built by women for women and feel it's important to create a place that's specific to the needs of women,\" said Churanakoses.Chapter 2 Club is like a group of your smart & experienced girlfriends who have already gone through divorce, helping you get through this breakup so that you can be stronger and prepared for your next life chapter.https://www.chapter2club.comhttps://www.facebook.com/Chapter2Clubhttps://www.instagram.com/chapter2clubMedia Contact: Joe Bel Bruno,[emailprotected]Matana LePlae, Co-Founder /CEO Chapter 2 Club, [emailprotected], 310.339.1334SOURCE Chapter 2 Club Related Links https://www.chapter2club.com", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Chapter 2 Club Launches to Support and Assist Women During and After Divorce A timely new resource as more marriages fail in the Age of COVID", "role": "assistant" } ]

Consumers changing patterns due to the pandemic and heightened awareness of social injustice and systemic inequality have resulted in new opportunities for brands to drive a connection with consumers. Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic in March, 21% of consumers have made an influencer-motivated purchase for the first time. Valassis recent Consumer Intel Report shows 35% of consumers made an unplanned purchase based on something they saw on social media as consumption of these channels has increased during the pandemic. Valassis surveyed 1,000 U.S. consumers to gain insight into what motivates them to engage with social influencers, a market that is expected to grow to $15 billion by 2022. Additionally, the heightened awareness around social injustice has impacted the way consumers engage with influencers. For example, 36% of influencer-following consumers say they are following a more diverse set of influencers than before, and 32% surveyed have purchased more products/services from businesses that are endorsed by influencers from different racial and cultural backgrounds. Emphasizing the importance of engaging the right influencer, the research found that 40% of consumers are more likely to trust a brand that features an influencer they know. Twenty-five percent say their perception of brands is shaped by the influencers that endorse them and this is more evident among 25 to 34 year olds, with 39% agreeing. A rigorous vetting process for influencers and content creation is critical to maximize a brands effectiveness and reputation. According to the survey, 65% of consumers say they would stop following an influencer if they do or say something that does not align with their personal ethics and values. This is important for marketers as value alignment also contributes to loyalty and sales. Previous research shows 43% of consumers are more likely to buy products from companies whose values match their own. Influencers humanize brands, providing a unique opportunity to make a genuine connection with consumers, said Sinead Norenius-Raniere, vice president, influencer marketing and paid social, Valassis. The interplay among consumers, influencers and brands suggests the purchasing journey is highly emotional, spurred by real-time online conversations. Knowing which content performs best through rapid influencer media testing is essential to bring influencer content to life across smarter, multichannel campaigns that also include print, display, email and in-store advertising. AI-powered technology can help identify influencers whose brand and interests align with campaign objectives, based on purchase patterns, retailers, brand and product affinities, Norenius-Raniere pointed out. Equally important in the campaign process, she said, is building sophisticated custom audiences, based on predictive consumer intelligence and influencer look-alike audiences. The opportunity to engage consumers is growing. According to the survey, 51% of consumers have purchased a product or service after seeing it used or promoted by an influencer in the past two years. For further insights on influencer marketing, please visit valassis.com. About the Survey Valassis surveyed 1,000 consumers to understand their engagement with influencers and the impact of influencer marketing.

Currently, there are no treatments available outside of supportive care in an ICU, stated Erik van den Berg, Chief Executive Officer at AM-Pharma. Our compound represents an opportunity to reduce the high mortality rates and protect kidney function for patients with SA-AKI. Over the last 18 months, our focus has been to prepare a rigorous pivotal trial together with global AKI and sepsis experts, building on the strong Phase II STOP-AKI data and constructive interactions with the FDA and EMA. I would like to thank the AM-Pharma team, the clinical centers and the trial investigators for all their hard work and collaboration to achieve this important milestone today. The REVIVAL Phase III pivotal trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-arm, parallel-group, multi-center trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AM-Pharmas proprietary human recombinant alkaline phosphatase for the treatment of patients with SA-AKI. The study will enroll approximately 1400 patients with SA-AKI in the main study population. In two exploratory cohorts, up to 100 patients with moderate Chronic Kidney Disease (CDK) and up to 100 patients with COVID-19 will be enrolled. The primary aim of the study is to confirm the improvement on the primary endpoint of 28-day all-cause mortality, as observed in the Phase II STOP-AKI study. Secondary endpoints include the treatment effect on long-term Major Adverse Kidney Events (MAKE), organ support use, length of stay in the ICU and 90-day all-cause mortality. Further information on this study can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov, NCT04411472 (REVIVAL). From the exciting results we have seen in the Phase II STOP-AKI trial, AM-Pharmas drug candidate has the potential to transform the treatment landscape for patients with sepsis-associated acute kidney injury, stated Professor Peter Pickkers, M.D., Ph.D., Chair of Experimental Intensive Care Medicine, Radboud University Medical Center, and principal investigator of the REVIVAL study. In the Phase II STOP-AKI trial, treatment with AM-Pharmas recombinant alkaline phosphatase resulted in a relative reduction in mortality of more than 40% and sustained improvement in renal function over the course of the 28-day study period. Based on these promising results, we are excited to be part of this pivotal study and the innovation we believe it can bring to SA-AKI treatment. Sepsis is a highly prevalent, severe condition that causes long-term physical impact on patients who survive their admission to the ICU. The fact that there are currently no approved treatments available underscores the high unmet medical need for patients. We look forward to working together with AM-Pharma to potentially bring this treatment option to patients, added John A. Kellum, M.D., Professor, Vice Chair Department of Critical Care Medicine and Director at the Center for Critical Care Nephrology at University of Pittsburgh. For the Phase III REVIVAL trial, potentially over 100 sites across Europe, the United Kingdom and North America are actively recruiting patients with SA-AKI in the trial. Clinical site activation is progressing as planned and topline safety and futility analyses on the first 400 patients in the main study population is expected by the end of 2021. The Company expects to complete target enrollment and to announce data on the primary endpoint of 28-day all-cause mortality in 2023. About AKI and Sepsis Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) involves inflammatory processes in the kidney which can lead to complete loss of renal function. Hospitalacquired AKI affects annually around 3 million patients in Europe, the US and Japan, and is associated with mortality in roughly 700,000 patients. It occurs in 40-60% of critical care admissions. Depending on the severity and cause of renal injury, mortality ranges from 10% to as high as 60%. In the US alone, hospitals spend around $10 billion each year on managing this major medical problem.2,3,4 Sepsis is a condition that is responsible for 1 out of 3 deaths in hospitals and is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. The kidney is the most commonly affected organ, resulting in SA-AKI and significantly increasing the risk for mortality and morbidity in sepsis. No singular effective therapy to alter the progression of these devastating conditions has been approved, while the healthcare burden for sepsis in the US alone is $16.7 billion on an annual basis.5 About recombinant alkaline phosphatase AM-Pharmas therapeutic candidate is a proprietary recombinant human Alkaline Phosphatase (AP) constructed from two naturally occurring human isoforms of the AP enzyme. The Companys compound is highly stable and active and has a dual mechanism of action via dephosphorylation of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and extracellular ATP. AM-Pharma has shown that treatment of patients with exogenous AP not only reduces local and systemic inflammation but also protects the kidney against further damage. About AM-Pharma AM-Pharma's purpose is to save and improve the lives of patients confronted with kidney disease, sepsis and organ injury. Our initial focus is sepsis-associated acute kidney injury, the cause of death for hundreds of thousands of people hospitalized each year. Our proprietary recombinant human alkaline phosphatase has the potential to become the first treatment for sepsis-associated acute kidney injury and is now in a global pivotal Phase III clinical trial. We are a dedicated team driven to bring treatment options to severely ill patients, their families and acute care professionals.

It has produced its first summary report on a Princeton based company, Sonnet BioTherapeutics Holdings, Inc. (SONN) which has a technology that may be highly applicable to the treatment of viruses. \"This pandemic is the greatest challenge we have faced and is existential. Only through unprecedented cooperation and collaboration by our best minds can we address this challenge. Our goal is to create a platform for this collaboration free of interference by politics and special interests,\" said Brett Johnson, co-founder of Altru and Director of the Virus Project. The project's first objective is to publish an initial study that looks at COVID-19 and what makes it unique and then post this research and seek input from scientists around the world to comment on our initial research. We are pleased to have recruited Tom Malcom, PhD, CEO of biotech start-up Iron Hills Bioengineering, to our Science Advisory Board. \"A fundamental approach is to identifying specific teams of scientists at universities and at private companies that are developing new approaches. Our focus is on the little known entities, start-ups with what may be breakthroughs,\" said Johnson. The first project being reviewed is a start-up that went public on April 2 of 2020. The Princeton based Sonnet Biotherapeutics has an interesting \"Trojan Horse\" approach that appears to have considerable promise. According to Malcolm, \"The team at Sonnet has developed a unique platform that leverages several favorable biological properties of human serum Albumin. They have invented and developed an ingenious approach that converts endogenous albumin into a drug-loaded and/or immune stimulatory Trojan Horse that is taken up by unknowing cancer cells, leading to their destruction.\" Their core technology which was designed for Cancer is a delivery mechanism that can be applied to Viruses. We analyzed the company to better understand what they are doing and how their technology works. An initial analysis of the Sonnet Biotherapeutics has been carried out by the Altru Institute Virus Project.

(\"TETRA\" or the \"Company\") (NYSE:TTI), after TETRA had released earnings but before the Company had filed its Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, one of TETRA's offshore completion fluids customers announced it had filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the \"Customer Bankruptcy\"). As a result of the Customer Bankruptcy, TETRA recorded bad debt expense of approximately $2.8 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 to reflect TETRA's assessment of the collectability of the outstanding receivable from that customer. TETRA recorded this charge in the general and administrative expense line of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Due to the timing of the Customer Bankruptcy announcement, our August 4th earnings release did not take into account this significant unusual bad debt expense. Please note such bad debt expense does not impact the Company's previously reported revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margins, cash from operations or adjusted free cash flow. The attached schedules have been updated from what was previously released to reflect this bad debt reserve. This press release includes the following financial measures that are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (\"GAAP\"): Adjusted earnings per share attributable to TETRA stockholders, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of revenue) on consolidated and segment basis, Adjusted income (loss) before tax, TETRA-only adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations, and net debt.

The following schedules provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, as more fully discussed in the Company's financial statements and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes that the exclusion of the special charges from the historical results of operations enables management to evaluate more effectively the Company's operations over the prior periods and to identify operating trends that could be obscured by the excluded items. Adjusted income (loss) before taxes (and adjusted income (loss) before taxes as a percent of revenue) is defined as the Company's (or the Segment's) income (loss) before taxes excluding certain special or other charges (or credits). Adjusted income (loss) before taxes (and adjusted income (loss) before taxes as a percent of revenue) is used by management as a supplemental financial measure to assess financial performance, without regard to charges or credits that are considered by management to be outside of its normal operations. Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share before discontinued operations is defined as the Company's diluted earnings (loss) per share excluding certain special or other charges (or credits). Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share is used by management as a supplemental financial measure to assess financial performance, without regard to charges or credits that are considered by management to be outside of its normal operations. Adjusted EBITDA before discontinued operations (and Adjusted EBITDA before discontinued operations as a percent of revenue) is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairments and certain non-cash charges and non-recurring adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA before discontinued operations (and Adjusted EBITDAmargin) is used by management as a supplemental financial measure to assess the financial performance of the Company's assets, without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basisand to assess the Company's ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures. Adjusted income before tax is defined as earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, impairments and certain non-cash charges and non-recurring adjustments.Adjusted income before tax (and Adjusted income before tax as a percent of revenue or Adjusted income before tax margin which is Adjusted income before tax divided by revenue) is used by management as a supplemental financial measure to assess the financial performance of the Company's normalized profitability while excluding any unusual, non-recurring items and tax benefits or detriment. TETRA only adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that the Company defines as cash from TETRA's operations, less capital expenditures net of sales proceeds and cost of equipment sold and including cash distributions to TETRA from CSI Compressco LP. TETRA only adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations is defined as TETRA only adjusted free cash flow less discontinued operations EBITDA and discontinued operations capital expenditures. Management uses this supplemental financial measure to: assess the Company's ability to retire debt; evaluate the capacity of the Company to further invest and grow; and to measure the performance of the Company as compared to its peer group. TETRA only adjusted free cash flow and TETRA only adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations do not necessarily imply residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, as they exclude cash requirements for debt service or other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted. TETRA net debt is defined as the sum of the carrying value of long-term and short-term debt on its consolidated balance sheet, less cash, excluding restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet and excluding the debt and cash of CSI Compressco LP. Management views TETRA net debt as a measure of TETRA's ability to reduce debt, add to cash balances, pay dividends, repurchase stock, and fund investing and financing activities.

The BCL System is designed to eliminate guesswork in breast cancer surgery by providing a blueprint of the tumor and a surgical guide to achieve clear margins. We are committed to participating in clinical research with the potential to improve outcomes for our patients with breast cancer, said Suzanne Coopey, MD, Massachusetts General Hospital, who performed the first BCL case. We are very interested in evaluating whether this new approach to guiding the surgeon to tumor margins can make breast cancer surgery more accurate and reduce the need for additional surgery for positive margins. Current Breast Conserving Surgery (BCS) is unsuccessful at removing the entire tumor about 20 percent of the time, primarily because current tumor localization techniques do not provide the information required to achieve precise removal of the disease. According to a recent study on breast cancer tumor shapes, less than 20 percent are spherical in shape,1 making techniques that place implants or wires in one or two central points within the tumor of limited to no value in identifying its size, boundaries and margins. Jennifer Gass, MD, Principal Investigator of the BCL study, Chief of Surgery, Women & Infants Hospital, and Professor of Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology, The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, said, We are very excited to be pursuing this clinical study and this new approach to breast cancer surgery because patients deserve our best efforts to improve clinical outcomes in BCS. We hope this tool will allow us to tailor the surgical resection to the best representation of the patient's own tumor. We have assembled a diverse group of study sites to evaluate the BCL in multiple settings, and look forward to comparing the ability of the technology to affect positive tumor margin, excision volume, and re-excision when compared to standard wire localization. The BCL System is designed to reduce positive margin rates, and to improve the process of BCS, using three steps. 1) A supine MRI image is first performed, with the breast positioned in its surgical position, providing detail on the size, shape, depth, edges and 1 centimeter margin for each tumor. This imagery is used to analyze the tumor and construct a three-dimensional tumor model that serves as the basis for two surgical tools. 2) A 3D-printed form the Breast Cancer Locator, or BCL is produced to fit the unique shape of the patients breast, with ports for several central and bracketing wires to be placed under anesthesia in the operating room immediately prior to surgery. The wires guide the surgeon to the tumor boundaries and margins. 3) An interactive 3D image the Visualizer is provided to the surgeon. The Visualizer offers interactive views of the tumor and quantifies the closest distance from the tumor to the skin and chest wall information that provides valuable references for the surgeon during the procedure. The Breast Cancer Locator (BCL) Study is a prospective, multicenter, 1:1 randomized, controlled pivotal trial of breast cancer excision surgery in 448 women with non-palpable invasive breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) tumors treated at up to 15 U.S. centers. Patients will be randomized to either the BCL or standard wire localization to guide surgery. The primary endpoint is positive margin rate, with other endpoints being specimen volumes, rate of additional shave biopsies, re-excision rate, cancer localization rate, operative time and cost of care. Breast cancer surgery today leaves disease in the breast in more than one in five cases as a surgeon myself, thats just unacceptable. Re-excision surgery to go back into the breast is bad for the patient - its expensive and its painful. We developed the Breast Cancer Locator with the vision to provide improved clinical outcomes in order to reduce the positive margin rate. We want surgeons to be able to remove the entire tumor the first time, every time, said Richard Barth, Jr., MD, Chief of General Surgery, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Professor of Surgery, Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, and Co-Founder, CairnSurgical. Our pilot studies are demonstrating that, by providing surgeons with a detailed blueprint of the tumor in the supine position, which we have never had before, we can reduce positive margins and enable surgeons to do more precise excisions. In a study of the BCL System published in the Annals of Surgical Oncology, clear tumor margins were achieved in all 19 patients.2 Resection volumes were comparable to optimal resection volumes determined by tumor modeling based on the supine MRI.2 A multicenter pilot study of the BCL System currently underway has continued to demonstrate clear tumor margins in every patient. About CairnSurgical CairnSurgical, Inc. is a clinical stage medical device company developing patient-specific surgical guides using patient imaging data and state-of-the-art 3D printing technologies.

At a graduation ceremony on Sunday, October 25th, 28 people earned their journeyman credentials after completing the Southern California Plaster Tenders Apprenticeship Program (link). These new journeymen have shown that they are able to adapt to and overcome the obstacles laid before them, especially during these unique times which called for us to host a socially-distanced graduation ceremony states James Preciado, Business Manager/Secretary-Treasurer of Plaster Tenders Local 1414. Nevertheless, we are proud to recognize their efforts and encourage them to maintain their certifications, continue training to improve their skills, and pass along their knowledge to the apprentices that will come behind them. To attain journeyperson status, each apprentice must complete at least 480 hours of classroom instruction and work 3,600 hours of on-the-job training (OJT). The OJT and classroom instruction cover the stucco, interior plaster, exterior insulation finish systems, fireproofing, and scaffolding industries. In addition, many safety and certification courses are part of the training, including OSHA 30 training, first aid and CPR, aerial boom/scissor lift, scaffold user, scaffold builder, forklift, and pump certification. However, prior to becoming an apprentice, candidates first must pass a physical agility test that assesses their ability to handle the heavy rigors of the trade and an oral interview. Successful candidates are then drug tested before being accepted into the program. Wall and ceiling industry contractor representatives spoke highly of the apprenticeship program and the training provided by its instructors. This Apprenticeship Program is of great value to the industry and the contractors it services, said Albert Carrillo, CEO of the Western Wall and Ceiling Contractors Association. The emphasis on job-site safety plus the specialized knowledge taught create an apprentice that knows what it takes to be a professional. But when the programs instructors and coordinator reinforce the old adage of an honest days work for an honest days pay, the industry gets a journeyman that stands above the rest. The Southern California Plaster Tenders Joint Apprenticeship Committee is a partnership between the Western Wall and Ceiling Contractors Association (WWCCA) and Plaster Tenders Local 1414, an affiliate Local Union of the Southern California District Council of Laborers (SCDCL).", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Plaster Tenders Benefit Southern Californias Construction Industry Plaster Tender Apprentices Earn Journeyperson Status", "role": "assistant" } ]

Fish teamed up with the ACLU of Massachusettsjust two months ago, seeking a preliminary injunction in the federal court for the District of Massachusetts. Judge Indira Talwani granted the motion on May 14, protecting the three families in the lawsuit who months ago were sent by U.S. border officials to Matamoros a horrifically dangerous border town in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas until their next court date. Fish & Richardson principal Adam Kessel led and won, in conjunction with the ACLU of Massachusetts, a major ruling in an important pro bono case that challenged a federal immigration policy and allowed five asylum-seekers three women and two young children to safely pursue their applications in the United States. The families have endured living in Matamaros for the chance to seek protection in the U.S., under a Trump administration policy named the \"Migrant Protection Protocols\" (MPP). One of the plaintiffs was raped during her time at Matamaros, a place the U.S. State Department has assigned a \"Level 4: Do Not Travel\" warning due to crime and kidnapping. Under MPP, tens of thousands of asylum-seekers have been sent to Matamaros and similar locations, waiting in peril for many months just to have their cases heard. \"It was an honor to work with the ACLU on this important case, and we are thrilled to be part of this victory,\" said Adam Kessel, the principal who led the Fish & Richardson team. \"We are very proud of the work we are doing to reunite families seeking legal refuge in the U.S. Many of the families in the U.S. immigration system are fleeing horrific violence and persecution in their home countries and then are forced back into dangerous situations with the unlawful 'Return to Mexico' policy. The stakes are high and the need is great, and we will continue to advocate for these brave asylum-seekers.\" In addition to Kessel, the Fish litigation team included principal Riqui Bonilla and associate Eda Stark.Pro bono work is an integral part of the firm's professional culture and now more than ever Fish is dedicated to supporting those in need. Over the past year, nearly 75% of the firm's attorneys have participated in pro bono projects. Last month, Fish won another important pro bono case with the ACLU of Minnesota that gives voters the right to get assistance from the person of their choice at the polls.Fish & Richardson, the premier global intellectual property law firm, is trusted by the world's most innovative and influential companies.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than March 5, 2021. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience or resources. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 3 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020 founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs Bar. Many of the firms attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) since mid-2020, SolarWinds Orion monitoring products had a vulnerability that allowed hackers to compromise the server upon which the products ran; (2) SolarWinds update server had an easily accessible password of solarwinds123; (3) consequently, SolarWinds customers, including, among others, the Federal Government, Microsoft, Cisco, and Nvidia, would be vulnerable to hacks; (4) as a result, SolarWinds would suffer significant reputational harm; and (5) as a result, defendants statements about the Companys business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the SolarWinds class action, go to http://www.rosenlegal.com/cases-register-2012.html or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] or [email protected] for information on the class action. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investors ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Use your understanding of the content to express the main ideas and crucial details in a shorter, coherent, and natural sounding text. \nText: WATERTOWN, Mass., April 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --For more than a year since the global pandemic began, public temperature screenings among large numbers of people have become the norm in assessing symptoms and limiting the spread of coronavirus. Temperature checks are the most frequent detection tactics, as having a fever of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or higher is one of the earliest and most commonly reported COVID-19 symptoms. In most public screening settings, such as at airports, mass gatherings, and large building entrances, non-contact infrared thermometers (NCITs) are largely being used to take people's temperatures. A recent study1 published by scientists at Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland shows that these NCITs are ineffective, and therefore should not be used for public health screenings. \"The medical community has long known that non-contact thermometers are highly inaccurate yet, in spite of this, many use them anyway, largely for convenience and 'show' value. New, highly credible published studies about their inaccuracy make a powerful statement and cannot be ignored,\" said Francesco Pompei, Ph.D., CEO of Exergen Corporation. \"Given the clear correlation between fever and COVID-19, it is imperative that an accurate thermometer be used in fever surveillance.\" According to the study, non-contact thermometers are ineffective due to a variety of factors. Since NCITs measure surface body temperature instead of core body temperature, they are influenced by numerous variables, such as a person's age or gender and considerations like outdoor temperature that can blunt their accuracy. The study also references the fact that the body follows a circadian rhythm, highest in the evening and lowest in the morning. This suggests that temperature screenings twice daily with an accurate thermometer are an imperative when screening for fever, reinforcing the need for accurate thermometers to be used to secure these readings. ABOUT EXERGEN CORPORATIONExergen manufactures and markets two series of the TemporalScanner thermometer: a professional version for hospitals and clinics, and a consumer version sold in major retailers nationwide. More than two billion temperatures are taken each year with TemporalScanners. Used in thousands of hospitals and clinics across the country as well as in millions of homes, TemporalScanners are the #1 preference of pediatricians, nurses, and mothers. The Exergen TemporalScanner's accuracy is supported by more than 80 peer-reviewed published studies covering all ages from preterm infants through geriatrics and all care areas from hospitals to homes.

Entrepreneurs are taking note too. In the first half of 2020, Green Home Solutions, the first franchise to specialize exclusively in indoor-air quality, has signed 25 new franchise agreements, a six-month record for the brand. Of the 25 new franchise agreements, an impressive 19 came from six multi-unit agreements, including the following: Four-unit deal in Minnesota Two-unit deal in Virginia Two-unit deal in Rhode Island Five unit deal in Tennessee and Georgia Four unit deal in North Carolina Two unit deal in North Carolina Breaking it down even further, the 25 new franchise agreements come from a mix of current and new franchisees. Of the new agreements, eight were with existing franchisees. Glen Snyder, Green Home Solution's Chief Development Officer, credits the notable multi-unit growth to the franchise's attractive incentives for multi-unit owners, saying, \"Our average franchisee owns and operates four territories, and we pride ourselves on being an extremely multi-unit friendly franchise operation. For every additional unit or territory, the franchise fee is reduced by a significant sum, making scaling the business an easy decision. We also reward strong sales through incentives like a discount in royalties and discounted contributions to our National Brand Fund if a franchisee hits certain sales goals.\" Some of the more significant franchise signings of 2020 include the aforementioned five-unit deal in Northwest Georgia and Tennessee where longtime entrepreneur Michael Douglass is adding to his commercial property maintenance business, the two-territory deal with former C-suite executive Roy Coupland outside of Washington DC, and a four-territory deal in Wake County with neighbors and friends Jason Lilly and Justin Crawford who wanted to do good for the planet. \"My business partner and I started thinking more and more about what we were passionate about and how we could parlay that into a profitable business opportunity. That's where Green Home Solutions came into the picture,\" said new franchisee Justin Crawford who signed a four-territory franchise agreement in North Carolina in late April with longtime friend and business partner Jason Lilly. \"Both of us wanted to do something 'green' and planet-friendly, and Green Home Solutions is at the forefront of providing multiple EPA registered, non-hazardous, indoor-air quality options.\" After officially offering services for one month, Crawford and Lilly are already in discussions to move up their five-year plan and start expanding to the east coast of North Carolina. \"When franchisees get started with Green Home Solutions, they immediately see the growth potential and look to expand,\" said Snyder. \"If it's the right fit and the right location, we do everything we can to ensure their success in additional territories.\" About Green Home Solutions Green Home Solutions is a growing indoor air quality franchise with 200+ locations across the country, providing comprehensive indoor air assessments, treatments and analysis services that don't just cover over the problem but, resolves the problem at the source.

The combined heat and power (CHP) market is evaluated at US$12.152 billion for the year 2019 growing at a CAGR of 14.37% reaching the market size of US$27.196 billion by the year 2025. Combined heat and power refers to an energy-efficient system that generates electricity from several types of fuels and has the ability to capture the heat that is generated and can be reused for space heating, domestic hot water, and industrial processes among others. These systems can be installed at several places such as buildings, utilities, and individual facilities, and others. Combined heat and power systems are often considered useful especially for those facilities that have the requirement of electricity and heat both. The market for combined heat and power systems is primarily being driven by the constantly growing end-user requirements for the replacement of conventional energy systems due to considerably high operational as well as maintenance costs and also due to uninterrupted utility supply. Furthermore, the constantly growing usage of natural gas also acts as a catalyst for the combined heat and power systems market growth during the forecast period. Additionally, the growing demand for energy efficiency especially across the industrial sector has further propelled the adoption of these systems in the coming years, which in turn is playing a significant role in shaping up the market growth during the next five years. The beneficial features such as enhanced reliability, efficiency, and safety offered by these cogeneration systems have also led to an upsurge in the adoption across several countries. Also, there are many countries in both developed and underdeveloped economies of the world that are now inclining their focus on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions which has further led to an increased spending in renewable energy projects which in turn is anticipated to propel the business growth opportunities for the manufacturers over the course of the next five years. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, approximately two-thirds of the energy that is primarily used by conventional energy systems is often wasted as discharged heat to the atmosphere. During the electricity distribution process, a significant amount of energy is also wasted in the form of heat. Thus, these systems are considered as highly beneficial as they are able to capture the heat and help in distribution losses. These systems are able to improve efficiency by almost 80% which is around 30% higher than the conventional technologies used. Companies Mentioned Key Topics Covered: 1. Introduction 2.

The actively managed ETF will offer a low-cost, diversified option for investors seeking income and limited price volatility. Vanguard Fixed Income Group will serve as investment advisor to the new ETF, which is expected to launch in the second quarter of 2021. \"We are excited to present investors with a new solution for managing short-term cash needs and to offer our world-class active fixed income expertise through an ETF,\" said Kaitlyn Caughlin, head of Vanguard Portfolio Review Department. \"Vanguard's history of competitive active performance is enabled by rigorous fund oversight, access to a diverse roster of active management talent, and our ability to keep costs low.\" The ETF will invest in a diversified portfolio consisting of high-quality and, to a lesser extent, medium-quality fixed income securities, including investment-grade credit and government bonds. With an expected average duration of approximately one year, the ETF's interest rate risk sits between money market funds and short-term bond funds, offering investors a solution for anticipated cash needs in the range of six to 18 months. It will have an estimated expense ratio of about 0.10%, compared with the average expense ratio for ultra-short-term bond ETFs of 0.22%1. Vanguard Ultra-Short Bond ETF will be Vanguard's first active bond ETF. Vanguard currently offers the $16.0 billion actively managed Vanguard Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund, which debuted in 2015. The new ETF will be separate from, but have a similar strategy to, the existing mutual fund and will offer investors and advisors the ability to trade at intraday market prices and invest by buying one share. The ETF will be managed by the same portfolio management team as the mutual fund. A leading fixed income advisor Since its inception in 1981, Vanguard Fixed Income Group has invested heavily in building its capabilities and expanding its product offer. It has since become one of the world's largest fixed income managers with $2.0 trillion in global assets under management and 190 investment professionals across the globe. The team employs deep investment expertise, disciplined security selection, and rigorous risk management techniques in its aim to deliver consistent outperformance with less downside risk.

In the framework of a digital press conference, CEO Frank Stuehrenberg announced that he was quite confident to finish this year of crisis with less loss than the year 2009, when the global financial crisis caused a recession in the real economy. To view the Multimedia News Release, please click: https://www.multivu.com/players/uk/8719451-phoenix-contact-stays-on-track/ Shaping digitalization together Highlights 2020 Frank Sthrenberg, CEO, Chairman of the Group Executive Board (PRNewsfoto/Phoenix Contact) \"We have finished a successful decade,\" Stuehrenberg said. In 2019, Phoenix Contact generated a turnover of 2.48 billion euros, which corresponds to a ratio of 4.5 percent. Europe grew by 4.3 percent, America by 3.5 percent, and Asia/Pacific by 3.6 percent. The corporate group employed another 200 people worldwide and has 17,600 employees now. The investment volume amounted to 200 million euros. Investments were made in expanding logistics at the headquarters in Blomberg and the Herrenberg site in southern Germany. A new production and logistics center is being built in Nanjing, China, with 42,000 m, the largest built-up area in the company's history. With these capacity expansions, Phoenix Contact considers itself well equipped for further growth in the coming years. The year 2020 was supposed to bring a growth of 3 to 4 percent; due to the pandemic, Phoenix Contact now expects a minus of 5 to 10 percent, which is, according to CEO Stuehrenberg, \"a manageable dimension.\" \"We want to get out of the crisis the way we went in, with all employees and all locations!\" Instead of participating in the Hannover Messe, which would have taken place from April 20 to 24, Phoenix Contact is now presenting its new developments in the framework of a virtual trade fair and a conference in the Internet. From April 20 to 23, the \"Dialog Days\" offer presentations, discussions, and live communication with experts, accompanied by a virtual exhibition booth. Creative solutions for a smart world is the title.

The study was published in Natureandled by UC San Diego scientists and Eclipse cofounders Gene Yeo, Ph.D., and Eric Van Nostrand, Ph.D., in collaboration with international researchers. RNA is the intermediary between the DNA code in every cell and the specific set of proteins that are expressed in each cell that carry out life's functions. Major scientific questions have been where and how instructions within RNA affects the eventual proteins that emerge. The dataset revealed extensive, previously hidden information about how RNA binding proteins act like tiny smart sensors to decode and carry out instructions that determine the RNA's levels and locations within the cell. This in turn drives how the cell functions in healthy and disease states, driving new potential therapeutic interventions. However, there are thousands of different RNA binding proteins and millions of RNAs, so identifying which instructions are being read by which RNA binding protein is a crucial challenge. To address this, researchers used eCLIP technologyto match hundreds of these RNA binding proteins to the internal instructions on RNA. \"With the growing excitement in the RNA therapeutics field, understanding how RNAs are controlled in healthy and also diseased cells is important for the safe development of new therapeutics,\" says Dr. Yeo, professor of cellular and molecular medicine at UC San Diego School of Medicine. \"This unbiased view of targets for 150 RNA binding proteins reveal general principles of how RNAs are controlled. We are excited that researchers worldwide are already utilizing these datasets to drive new insights into how altered RNA processing drives human diseases.\" \"We at Eclipse are excited to see the eCLIP platform technology in action to provide the most comprehensive maps of RBPs to date,\" says Eclipse CEO and cofounder Peter Chu, Ph.D. This work, which generated more than 10 terabytes of data in just 36 months, represents a tour de force made possible only by the unique combination of cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, and advanced computational analysis rolled into the highly efficient, reproducible, and robust eCLIP technology.\" The eCLIP technology, enhanced crosslinking and immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing, was initially developed by Drs. Yeo and Van Nostrand at UC San Diego and is licensed to Eclipse Bioinnovations (Nature Methods, 2016). Since 2017, Eclipse has further developed the base eCLIP technology from UC San Diego into a commercially successful service and kit product. Eclipse has also expanded the eCLIP platform to offer miRNA and m6A RNA modification products. Dr. Van Nostrand said, \"We believe the data reported in this study will provide a useful framework for understanding other key aspects of RNA regulation, such as miRNA processing, RNA modifications, translational efficiency, and RNA editing.\" The paper entitled, \"A large-scale binding and functional map of human RNA-binding proteins,\" is available open access on Nature as part of a special package of 10 studies from the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) Consortium. ENCODE is an international collaboration led by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) to build a comprehensive parts list to understand how genes are controlled. About ENCODEThe ENCODE Project began in 2003 and is an extensive collaborative research effort involving groups across the U.S. and internationally, comprising over 500 scientists with diverse expertise. It has benefited from and built upon decades of research on gene regulation performed by independent researchers around the world. ENCODE researchers have created a community resource, ensuring that the project's data is accessible to any researcher for their studies. These efforts in open science have resulted in over 2,000 publications from non-ENCODE researchers who used data generated by the ENCODE Project. For more info, visit www.encodeproject.org.

The HSB poll by Zogby Analytics found that 37 percent of consumers who responded were somewhat or very concerned about the cyber security and safety of connected and automated vehicles. A similar number (35 percent) feared that a virus, hacking incident or other cyber-attack could damage or destroy their vehicles data, software or operating systems. In a similar finding, 11 percent of those responding said they drive an electric vehicle and 50 percent of them were concerned that charging stations could be a point of entry for a cyber-attack. Of the 55 percent of consumers who sync smartphones or other devices, 51 percent dont know or arent sure what personal information is stored in their vehicles entertainment system. Our cars are more connected than ever, said Timothy Zeilman, vice president for HSB, a provider of cyber insurance and services. Its hard for consumers to keep up with rapidly evolving vehicle technology and they wonder if their privacy and personal information is protected. Hackers on the Radio? One in ten consumers reported a hacking incident or other cyber-attack had affected their vehicle, up three percent from a similar HSB poll the year before. As connected technology continues to advance, some are concerned not only that their vehicle could be hacked, but also controlled by others remotely. When asked what worried them most about a possible cyber-attack on their vehicle, 46 percent of consumers were very concerned a hacker might communicate with them over their audio system, perhaps to coerce them or demand a ransom payment. Other top concerns were their vehicle being immobilized (25 percent very concerned), safety systems compromised (23 percent) and being locked out of their vehicle (14 percent). The most common technologies installed in vehicles included Bluetooth (53 percent), navigation systems (42 percent) and vehicle safety sensors (39 percent). Thirty-six percent of consumers owned smartphone apps that connected to their vehicles, while 24 percent had Wi-Fi or mobile hotspots that provided internet service on the road. Survey Methodology Zogby Analytics was commissioned by HSB to conduct a survey in December 2020 of 1,509 adults in the United States about their attitudes, experiences and concerns about cyber safety. Based on a confidence level of 95 percent, the margin for error is plus or minus 2.5 percentage points. That means all other things being equal, the identical survey would have results within the margin of error 95 times out of 100.
