SUNSET PARK, Brooklyn (PIX11) — Police identified Frank R. James, 62, as a person of interest in connection with Tuesday morning’s Brooklyn subway attack.
Officials do not have evidence he was the same person who actually committed the shooting. Ten people were shot in the attack.
James’ name was connected to a U-Haul sought in connection with the attack, official said. A key was left behind at the scene of the shooting. Police connected that to a U-Haul with Arizona plates, which they later located in Brooklyn. James had rented the U-Haul.
“We’re looking to determine if he has any connection to the train,” NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said.
There were some “concerning” social media posts police believe may be connected to James, NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell said. They mentioned homelessness and New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Security for the mayor was increased because of the posts.
James has addresses in Wisconsin and Philadelphia. The U-Haul was rented in Philadelphia.
At the scene of the attack, officers also recovered a 9mm semi-automatic weapon and a hatchet. They found a liquid believed to be gasoline and a bag with commercial-grade fireworks inside.
No arrests have been made. Police described the suspected gunman as being around 5 feet, 5 inches tall. The man weighs around 175-200 pounds. He was last seen wearing a gas mask and a construction vest. Police initially said the vest was green, but later officials said it was orange. The man also had on a gray, hooded sweatshirt.

President Biden waives ethanol rule in another attempt to lower gasoline prices
President Joe Biden visited corn-rich Iowa on Tuesday and announced the suspension of a federal rule preventing the sale of higher ethanol blend gasoline this summer, as his administration tries to tamp down prices at the pump that have spiked during Russia's war with Ukraine.
Most gasoline sold in the U.S. is blended with 10% ethanol. The Environmental Protection Agency will issue an emergency waiver to allow the widespread sale of 15% ethanol blend that is usually prohibited between June 1 and Sept. 15 because of concerns that it adds to smog in high temperatures.
Senior Biden administration officials said the move will save drivers an average of 10 cents per gallon at 2,300 gas stations. Those stations are mostly in the Midwest and the South, including Texas, according to industry groups.
Administration officials said the EPA has begun analyzing the "emergency" step of allowing more E15 gasoline sales for the summer and determined it is not likely to have significant on-the-ground air quality impacts. That's despite some environmentalists long arguing that more ethanol in gas increases pollution.
Biden announced the move at a biofuel company in Menlo, west of Des Moines. Iowa is the country's largest producer of corn, key to producing ethanol.
The waiver is another effort to help ease global energy markets that have been rocked since Russia invaded Ukraine. Last month, the president announced the U.S. will release 1 million barrels of oil per day from the nation's strategic petroleum reserve over the next six months. His administration said that has helped to slightly reduce gas prices lately, after they climbed to an average of about $4.23 a gallon by the end of March, compared with $2.87 at the same time a year ago, according to AAA.
"Not only is this decision a major win for American drivers and our nation's energy security, it means cleaner options at the pump and a stronger rural economy," Emily Skor, CEO of the biofuel trade association group Growth Energy, said in a statement.
Members of Congress from both parties also had urged Biden to grant the E15 waiver.
"Homegrown Iowa biofuels provide a quick and clean solution for lowering prices at the pump and bolstering production would help us become energy independent once again,″ said Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley. He was among nine Republican and seven Democratic senators from Midwestern states who sent Biden a letter last month urging him to allow year-round E15 sales.
The trip will be Biden's first as president to Iowa, where his 2020 presidential campaign limped to a fourth-place finish in the state's technologically glitchy caucus.
After bouncing back to win the Democratic nomination, Biden returned for a rally at the Iowa state fairgrounds four days before Election Day 2020, only to see Donald Trump win the state by 8 percentage points.
Biden heads back to the state at a moment when he's facing yet more political peril. He's saddled with sagging approval ratings and inflation at a 40-year high while his party faces the prospect of big midterm election losses that could cost it control of Congress.
The president also planned to promote his economic plans to help rural families struggling with higher costs, while highlighting the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law enacted last fall. The law includes money to improve internet access, as well as for modernizing wastewater systems, reducing flooding threats and improving roads and bridges, drinking water and electric grids in sparsely populated areas.
"Part of it is showing up in communities of all sizes, regardless of the results of the last election," said Jesse Harris, who was a senior adviser to Biden's 2020 campaign in Iowa and directed get out the vote and early voting efforts for Barack Obama's presidential campaign in 2008.
Harris said most presidents who visit Iowa typically go to the state's largest cities. Hitting an area like Menlo, part of Guthrie County, which backed Trump over Biden by 35 percentage points in 2020, "does speak to the importance the administration places on infrastructure broadly but also infrastructure in rural and smaller communities."
The Biden administration plans to spend the coming weeks pushing billions of dollars in funding for rural areas. Cabinet members and other senior officials will travel the country to help communities get access to money available as part of the infrastructure package.
"The president is not making this trip through a political prism," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said. "He's making this trip because Iowa is a rural state in the country that would benefit greatly from the president's policies."
Still, administration officials have long suggested that Biden travel more to promote an economy that is rebounding from the setbacks of the coronavirus pandemic. The number of Americans collecting unemployment has fallen to the lowest levels since 1970, for example.
But much of the positive jobs news nationally has been overshadowed by surging gas, food and housing prices that have pushed consumer inflation to 7.9% over the past year ending in February. That's the sharpest spike since 1982. Inflation figures for March, due out Tuesday, are likely to bring more bad news for the Biden administration.
"Maybe a trip back to Iowa will be just what Joe Biden needs to understand what his reckless spending, big government policies are doing to our country," Iowa Republican Party Chairman Jeff Kaufmann said in a statement.
After Iowa, Biden will visit Greensboro, North Carolina, on Thursday.
Psaki blamed Russia's war in Ukraine for helping to drive up gas prices and said the administration expects the consumer price index for March to be "extremely elevated" in large part because of it.
The EPA has lifted seasonal restrictions on E15 in the past, including after Hurricane Harvey in 2017. The Trump administration allowed for selling E15 in the summer months two years later but had the rule struck down by a federal appeals court.

Biden: Russia’s war in Ukraine amounts to ‘genocide’
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — President Joe Biden on Tuesday said Russia’s war in Ukraine amounted to “genocide,” accusing President Vladimir Putin of trying to “wipe out the idea of even being a Ukrainian.”
“Yes, I called it genocide,” he told reporters in Iowa shortly before boarding Air Force One to return to Washington. “It’s become clearer and clearer that Putin is just trying to wipe out the idea of even being a Ukrainian.”
At an earlier event in Menlo, Iowa, addressing spiking energy prices resulting from the war, Biden had implied that he thought Putin was carrying out genocide against Ukraine, but offered no details. Neither he nor his administration announced new consequences for Russia or assistance to Ukraine following Biden’s public assessment.
WARNING: Videos may contain graphic content.
Biden’s comments drew praise from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who had encouraged Western leaders to use the term to describe Russia’s invasion of his country.
“True words of a true leader @POTUS,” he tweeted. “Calling things by their names is essential to stand up to evil. We are grateful for US assistance provided so far and we urgently need more heavy weapons to prevent further Russian atrocities.”
Biden said it would be up to lawyers to decide if Russia’s conduct met the international standard for genocide, as Ukrainian officials have claimed, but said “it sure seems that way to me.”
“More evidence is coming out literally of the horrible things that the Russians have done in Ukraine, and we’re only going to learn more and more about the devastation and let the lawyers decide internationally whether or not it qualifies,” he said.
Just last week Biden had he did not believe Russia’s actions amounted to genocide, just that they constituted “war crimes.”
During a trip to Europe last month, Biden faced controversy for a nine-word statement seemingly supporting regime change in Moscow, which would have represented a dramatic shift toward direct confrontation with another nuclear-armed country. “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,” Biden said.
He clarified the comments days later, saying: “I was expressing the moral outrage that I felt toward this man. I wasn’t articulating a policy change.”
Past American leaders often have dodged formally declaring bloody campaigns such as Russia’s in Ukraine as genocide, hesitating to trigger an obligation under an international genocide convention that requires signing countries to intervene once genocide is formally identified. That obligation was seen as blocking President Bill Clinton from declaring Rwandan Hutus’ killing of 800,000 ethnic Tutsis in 1994 as genocide, for example.

Lancaster County gets $9.2M to fix dangerous road
LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) -A plan to change a dangerous stretch of road in southern Lancaster County is waiting on final approval this week.
The county is planning to use federal funding to upgrade south 68th Street from south of Hickman to the Norris Schools.
South 68th Street from Stagecoach Road to Firth Road is one of the most dangerous in the country.
Three years ago, the Lancaster County Engineer’s Office started studying the road to learn how they could make it safer. Especially for the norris students and families who take the road to school.
“About two-thirds to three-forths of our high school students, we have about 700 high school students, drive themselves to school each day,” said John Schwartz, Superintendent, Norris School District. “As a growing district, we know that high school population is going to continue to grow.”
Largely, those students take south 68th Street.
“It’s been a safety risk for a long time here at Norris to our school community,” said Schwartz. “In particular the stretch of road targeted in this improvement project between Stagecoach and Firth Road.”
The Lancaster County Engineer’s Office compiled a crash map after three years of studying the area.
“They’re weighted by severity on local Lancaster County roads,” said Pam Dingman, Lancaster County Engineer. “Where you’re seeing the the orange and red, these are crashes that are severe that caused injuries or property damage. What we really see is the Saltillo Corridor has a large number of crashes as well as the South 68th St. Corridor.”
So, with $5.4 million from NDOT’s Highway Safety Improvement Program, $3.9 million from the Lincoln Metropolitan Planning Organization and $1.6 million from Lancaster County Taxpayers, the County will work to make necessary improvements like widening South 68th Street.
“Make them into 14 foot lanes, which gives drivers more room to recover,” said Dingman. “In addition we’ll be adding shoulders. We’re also going to do some sight-distance improvements in the corridor as well as intersection improvements.”
Dingman said these improvements will modernize the road, catching it up to current safety standards.
“We need to step into the current century and improve these roads and intersections to meet our growing community needs,” said Dingman.
Final approval for these plans is expected to happen this week. Construction could start around 2025.

Political deadlock kills data driven criminal justice initiative in Nebraska
LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - In just about a week this session of the Nebraska legislature will end without passing a major criminal justice reform, despite an independent study and a “data driven” approach, because LB 920 failed to pass a cloture vote last week.
“We just passed up our best opportunity to make a difference,” Omaha Senator Steve Lathrop said.
Lathrop, drafted LB 920, which was born out of a months-long study by the Crime and Justice Institute, a non-profit called in by Lathrop, Governor Pete Ricketts and Chief Justice Michael Heavican in January 2021. CJI dove into Nebraska’s prison overcrowding problem and why the population continues to grow, and handed their analysis over to a group of Nebraska stakeholders who came up with 21 policy solutions, ranging from streamlining the parole process to reduce jam-outs, expanding problem solving courts and various sentence reforms.
CJI said it would have meant between now and 2030, only 300 inmates would be added to the population, compared to 1,300, which is the current projection.
But the Governor, and some senators, including Senator Suzanne Geist, said sentence reforms suggested were “soft” on crime and would jeopardize public safety.
“Things that law enforcement, judges and county attorneys told me some of those things would really jeopardize public safety,” Geist said. “I’m not a law enforcement officer, judge or county attorney so I take their advice very seriously.”
Geist took particular issue with the reforms Lathrop said would make the biggest difference including limiting the use of mandatory minimums, making possession of small amounts of drugs a misdemeanor instead of a felony, limiting the use of consecutive sentences and the habitual criminal charge.
Senator John Stinner, head of the appropriations committee currently contending with potentially building a $270 million prison, said these reforms weren’t drastic or dangerous.
“These were measures recommended by professionals who came in,” Stinner said. “They’ve been incorporated in other states and we have evidence they have been working and are keeping people safe, actually safer, because promoting the idea of prisoners getting programming and going out on parole and actually have parole officers, that’s safety as opposed to jamming out without any kind of programming or reforms and no supervision.”
Stinner said the bill fell victim to “soft on crime rhetoric.”
Geist proposed an amendment to LB 920 which eliminated sentence reforms and focused on consensus items and other services for mental health and substance abuse issues.
“I’d contend if we got a handle on those populations I bet we could decrease those populations,” Geist said.
A CJI analysis of the amendment Geist proposed would only cut 125 inmates from the 2030 projections, 875 fewer than the bill in its original form.
Geist also said the state should build a new prison regardless of reforms passed, to increase the quality of life for inmates.
Stinner, who has appropriated but not allocated the money necessary for a new prison, agrees something needs to be done about the State Penitentiary, but it won’t solve overcrowding.
“In my eight years we’ve added 808 beds and haven’t moved the dials,” Stinner said. “We’ve added over $100 million to budget for corrections and it’s probably one of the fastest growing items we have in the budget and we need to confront it. We had the opportunity to do that and we didn’t.”
Lathrop contended, the decision to kill LB 920, didn’t come down to public safety, but politics.
“The data shows, we’re sacrificing public safety by maintaining the status quo,” Lathrop said.
10/11 NOW reached out to stakeholders from across the community, including the Lancaster County Attorney, Nebraska State Patrol, the Lancaster County Public Defenders office, the Nebraska Department of Corrections and Lincoln Police Union. Neither NDCS or the Lincoln Police Union replied to a request for comment and the Nebraska State Patrol said they cannot comment on legislation.
Lancaster County Attorney Pat Condon said he and other prosecutors agreed that LB 920 would impact public safety.
“Our job is to keep the community safe,” Condon said. “That’s what we want to do, that’s why we opposed the legislative changes they wanted to make.”
Condon said he watched the progression of LB 920 closely. So did Public Defender Joe Nigro.
“I thought this bill held the most promise for real significant reform and reduction in prison overcrowding than anything else that’s come up in recent years,” Nigro said.
Nigro said he thought the proposal to change the classification of some drug possession charges from felonies to misdemeanors would have the biggest impact.
“There are so many people caught up in the criminal justice system because of the war on drugs,” Nigro said. “We should be treating addiction as a health problem not a criminal justice problem.”
Condon said this proposal was one of the main reasons he opposed the bill.
“We would have seen a large reduction in problem solving courts,” Condon said. “They wouldn’t have been addressing the issues causing them to come into the system, they’d get their fine or their 30 days in jail and be off.”
Condon also worried this would cause the county jail to become overcrowded.
Another aspect of the bill Nigro supported, was limiting the use of the habitual criminal charge, which is when prosecutors can enhance a sentence for repeat offenders. Nigro said he believes the charge is used to convince defendants to take plea deals, while Condon said it’s a valuable tool.
“We all have stories of why habitual criminal is good,” Condon said. “I had an individual who was involved in a domestic situation and had a knife and small amount of drugs who had been previously convicted and twice before been in prison so we could charge habitual criminal on a small amount of drugs. To me, my victim was reluctant to come forward as domestic violence victims often are, so to be able to put him in prison for 10 years that was a way to protect the community.”
Condon said while he’s willing to consider and discuss sentence reform, he doesn’t think it’s the answer. He cited Nebraska having the 15th lowest incarceration rate in the country, 285 inmates per 100,000 people.
“I think as prosecutors we are prosecuting the right people for the right reason,” he said.
Data also shows Nebraska is one of four states whose prison population is growing, while 46 other states are seeing their prison populations fall.
It’s why Nigro said a comprehensive approach is necessary.
“If you combine sentence reform with an increase and strengthening of services and combine that with probation I think you wind up with a safer community and a smaller prison population and those should be two goals everyone should be able to agree on,” Nigro said.
But in this session of the legislature, the senators couldn’t agree.
Lathrop said this isn’t disappointing because it’s a bill with his name on it, it’s disappointing for the state.
“We made the case for making reforms that actually make a difference, not gift cards and pilot programs,” Lathrop said. “Ideas based on data and the Nebraska experience. It would have saved us from having to build and build and build. That’s going to be an expensive vote for this state. If people want to maintain the status quo we’re going to need two prisons not one by 2030.”
10/11 NOW reached out to the Governor and Chief Justice as they were part of the initiative to study overcrowding and pass legislation. Governor Pete Ricketts wouldn’t answer questions about the bill failing to pass or how the state can balance being tough on crime, public safety and prison overcrowding. His spokesperson did send a column written two weeks ago calling the reform suggestions “soft on crime.”
Corey Steel, state court administrator, sent a statement saying the judicial branch assisted in the CJI study by providing data and they would have implemented any changes had the legislature passed them.
“We will continue to be engaged in any additional initiatives such as Justice Reinvestment and CJI in the future, as agreed upon by all three branches of government,” Steel said.
As for what happens next, while Lathrop is leaving the legislature and passing on information he learned in this process, Geist said she’s going to start meeting with fellow senators to come up with new solutions.
“It just makes me more determined to get at it and do something for next year,” Geist said.

IRVING, Texas, April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Alliant Systems announced today the retirement of its owner and president, Jeff Belcher, after 37 years with the company and predecessor organizations. Under Jeff's leadership, Alliant Systems has grown to become the largest supplier of route accounting and mobile computing software solutions to independent textile rental companies. Jeff is proud to have developed a company culture focused on service, support, and long-standing customer relationships.
Alliant Systems also announced today the sale of the company to HRFH (Herrera Rodriguez Family Holdings), a private Texas corporation owned by Mayron Herrera and Jhovanny Rodriguez.
"It has been a high honor and privilege to work for and serve as the owner of this special organization," noted Belcher. "I will be forever grateful for my time in this industry and will never forget the long list of mentors, friends and associates that helped shape my career and Alliant Systems. This decision has been in process for over three years and I am confident it is in the best interest of our employees and our customers. I remain thankful for our past and look forward to a bright future as the company moves ahead."
Alliant Systems will continue to operate under the same name as a wholly-owned subsidiary of HRFH, which also operates an IT services company (Synetek Solutions) and a cloud-based VoIP service (GreenLink Networks).
"I, along with others on the Alliant team, have enjoyed a long working relationship with Mayron for many years," said Belcher. "Mayron is an excellent leader who I trust and respect. He possesses many years of experience in this industry working with Alliant Systems' software."
Under the ownership of HRFH, Alliant Systems will continue to provide software services and support to the independent textile rental market. Benefits for Alliant Systems' employees and customers will be significant. The company, directed by HRFH's experienced management team, will enjoy access to additional resources including new development, service and marketing tools.
"I've been part of the laundry industry for over twenty years and have been involved with Alliant Systems for a good portion of that time supporting mutual customers," said Herrera. "I'm excited to be part of Alliant's future and to continue building on Jeff's legacy. I see lots of opportunities as we look to enhance Alliant's capabilities by adding resources, providing guidance and staying true to the history of always putting the customer first."
Jeff will remain with the company in an advisory capacity. Alliant's existing management, service and development teams will remain in place and there are no plans to change the daily operations of the company. Alliant's primary goal will continue to be servicing independent, textile rental customers. Events such as quarterly, educational webinars and Alliant's annual customer conference will move forward as planned.
Alliant Systems is the leading provider of route accounting and mobile computing solutions for textile rental operators. Alliant Systems' suite of software products enable textile rental companies to save time and money by improving front office and route operations. Alliant's products help companies generate greater revenue opportunities, streamline operations, and are less expensive to operate and maintain compared to custom, in-house accounting solutions.

AUSTIN, Texas, April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Aviat Networks, Inc.

"We are excited to introduce HAS as a part of our portfolio of Assurance software solutions," said Pete Smith, CEO of Aviat Networks. "Network operators can now proactively maintain the highest levels of network performance and availability with less reliance on expert personnel and reduced operational costs."

SINGAPORE, April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Coinllectibles™️, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cosmos Group Holdings, Inc. (OTC: COSG) is pleased to collaborate with Kiwi Arts Group to bring three special limited edition photographs of Andy Warhol signed by renowned photographer William John Kennedy. Kennedy enjoyed a special relationship with Andy Warhol and was able to capture the private and public person in a series of remarkable portraits. The three photograph portraits are:
- Warhol Flowers I, 1964, Flushing, Queens, New York City. "….you had these Black Eyed Susans, six feet tall. I immediately knew that I had to shoot his [Warhol's] flowers paintings and himself in this marvellous environment. He loved it. So I walked over to the door and I said, what is out here? Oh, he said, that's the fire escape."
- Andy Warhol with Birmingham Race Riot sandwich board, 1964, at the East 47th Street Factory Fire Escape, New York City "…With the Alabama Race Riot, I was trying to think, immediately of very exciting ideas in reference to Andy and the work, I finally decided, I'm going to involve him totally physically with this artwork."
- Warhol Holding Marilyn Acetate I, 1964 at the East 47th Street Factory, New York City. "He pulled out this one rolled up acetate, unrolled it and sure enough, this gigantic image of Marilyn appeared... totally incorporating his image with hers."
William John Kennedy was born in 1930 in Long Island and passed away in 2021. Throughout his professional life, Kennedy pursued his own personal interest in fine art photography and up until the early 2000s, he developed a full body of work from his travels within the US as well as throughout the globe. Kennedy was introduced to Warhol at The Americans exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in 1963 and became friends shooting a series of important portraits. Kennedy's most intriguing body of work, a set of negatives and transparencies that he had taken of Andy Warhol and other artists was rediscovered in the mid-nineties.
Kiwi Arts Group has had a close relationship with Kennedy and have accumulated an important collection of lost archive negatives from the 1963-1964 period taken of Andy Warhol as well as other artists in Warhol's circle. A documentary entitled Full Circle: Before they were famous was made about William John Kennedy's lost archive. Neil Bookatz, Partner at Kiwi Arts Group noted, "We have had a long relationship with William John Kennedy which has led us to work with the Andy Warhol Museum, on a film of Kennedy and opportunity to celebrate this extraordinary photographer and the special relationships captured in his authentic works."
Commenting on the partnership, Toby O'Connor CEO of Coinllectibles™️ said, "I have really enjoyed understanding how William John Kennedy was able to capture these portraits at particular special moments in time. The work that Neil is doing to bring William John Kennedy's work to more people is important and we are thrilled to be bringing a small number of these fascinating limited edition works."
An online session to discuss the William John Kennedy works will be held on April 20th at 14:00 GMT.

The Third Option is highlighting a new school model at Millennial Tech Middle School in San Diego, CA.
Read about it on our blog, The Forebrain Underground.
SAN DIEGO, April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Southeast San Diego's Millennial Tech Middle School (MTM), a new member of the community school coalition, is partnering with Groundwork San Diego and UCSD Center on Global Justice to offer a new public education model where children become the direct agents for change within their communities.
In the case of MTM, climate action will become the catalyst to reverse the more long-established climate of inequality continuing to stifle the communities along the Chollas Creek Watershed.
MTM will be converted into the epicenter of environmental education and a new model for schools of the future.
Upon completion, MTM will consist of:
- Upgraded indoor classrooms
- A four-acre outdoor EarthLab with innovative learning spaces
- A Climate Action Design Lab (Makerspace)
The Third Option supports this model. By connecting indoor formal methodology to outdoor experiential learning stations, the EarthLab will be transformed into a Climate Action Park.
- The EarthLab is an interdisciplinary learning environment. The problem of climate change requires the merging of many silos of understanding, in order to co-develop viable solutions; the EarthLab will provide the perfect opportunity to tear down these self-imposed obstacles to participatory democracy and co-develop a social model of interdependency that can extend well into the future.
- The EarthLab is a hands-on experiential learning tool. Traditional education is isolating; once people step outside whatever walls exist around them, and replace their non-experiential collection of secondhand information with real experiences, they will surely be drawn toward more holistic, inclusive solutions.
- The EarthLab is an economic asset. Beyond a cultural space, the EarthLab is meant to be a direct source of essential community needs. Divided into four zones of energy, water, food, and community, the school hopes to impact issues of sustainable energy, clean water, food insecurity, local unemployment, mental health and well-being, as well as the implied societal neglect of the Chollas Creek watershed and the people residing there.
- The EarthLab is a climate asset. Through the Climate Action Design Lab, MTM will harness the power of the EarthLab to empower the youth to achieve both social and climate justice, tackle educational inequality, and open up vocational employment opportunities within their community.

DALLAS, April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Child development centers across North Texas are facing an unprecedented teacher shortage crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This crisis risks a devastating impact on the lives of children and their early development. In response, Educational First Steps (EFS) and Dallas College are partnering up to recruit, vet, and place Early Childhood Education college students in preschools throughout North Texas as a part of their new Federal Work Study Program. These students will play a vital role in supporting children in classrooms and mitigating the shortage impact.
When asked about the partnership, EFS President & CEO, Vickie Allen shared, "The Federal Work Study Program in partnership with Dallas College is a powerful example of what can be done when our community comes together. Through this partnership, we are directly addressing the current workforce crisis in Early Childhood Education while providing essential hands-on experience to our future leaders and teachers."
The Dean of Early Childhood Education and Early Learning at Dallas College, Heather Bryant, M.Ed. adds, "The School of Education at Dallas College is excited to partner with Educational First Steps on a Federal Work Study project. Paid work-based learning opportunities create a win-win situation for both Dallas College students and EFS childcare centers. Students can fulfill coursework practicum and internship requirements with part-time work placements while gaining valuable experience in their field of study. Childcare partners can meet critical staffing needs at a reduced rate by participating in the Federal Work Study program."

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte S.A. ("Edenor" or the "Company") hereby announces the commencement of its offer to exchange (the "Offer" or the "Exchange Offer") any and all of its outstanding 9.75% Senior Notes due 2022 (the "Existing Notes") for the applicable amount of newly issued 9.75% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "New Notes") and cash, as applicable, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the exchange offer memorandum, dated April 12, 2022 (the "Exchange Offer Memorandum").

Eligible Holders in Argentina are urged to read, must follow the procedures set forth in, and must rely exclusively on, the Argentine Exchange Offer Memorandum. Holders who desire to obtain and complete an electronic Eligibility Letter should visit the following website: https://bonds.morrowsodali.com/EdenorEligibility.
The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Exchange Offer:
(1) The Existing Notes are currently listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and traded on its Euro MTF Market, are listed and traded on the BYMA (as defined below), through BCBA (as defined below) acting in accordance with the authority delegated by the BYMA to the BCBA, and are traded on the MAE (as defined below).
(2) Per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes validly tendered and accepted for exchange. The Exchange Consideration (as defined below) does not include the Accrued Interest Payment (as defined below).
(3) Holders of Existing Notes validly submitting Tender Orders in exchange for the Exchange Consideration (as defined below) under Option B will receive a combination of the Applicable Cash Consideration (as defined below) and the applicable Early New Notes Consideration or Late New Notes Consideration, as applicable. At the Expiration Date, the actual Early B Consideration or Late B Consideration, as applicable, to be received by each Eligible Holder whose Existing Notes are accepted in the Exchange Offer under Option B will be determined on the basis of the actual participation by Eligible Holders in the Exchange Offer and their selection between Option A and Option B.
(4) The Pro-Rata Cash Consideration that will be equivalent to the Cash Consideration divided by the principal amount of Existing Notes accepted under Option B times 1,000.
The Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 9, 2022, unless extended by us in our sole discretion (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the "Expiration Date"). In order to be eligible to receive the Early Tender Consideration (as defined below), Eligible Holders of Existing Notes must submit their Tender Orders (as defined below) at or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on April 28, 2022, unless extended by us in our sole discretion (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the "Early Tender Date").

The deadlines set by any intermediary or relevant clearing system may be earlier than these deadlines.
The terms and conditions of this Offer incorporate the helpful feedback received from select holders of Existing Notes.
Exchange Consideration
Eligible Holders of Existing Notes, for their Tender Orders validly submitted at or prior to the Expiration Date, may choose between two, mutually exclusive, consideration options, detailed in the table above, in the columns under the headings "Option A" and "Option B".
Tenders of Existing Notes under Option A
Tender Orders of Existing Notes submitted under Option A at or prior to the Early Tender Date will receive U.S.$1,050 principal amount of New Notes per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes validly tendered and accepted for exchange (the "Early A Consideration").
Eligible Holders of Existing Notes who validly submit a Tender Order under Option A after the Early Tender Date but at or prior to the Expiration Date will be eligible to receive, for each U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes, U.S.$1,030 of New Notes (the "Late A Consideration").
Tenders of Existing Notes under Option B
Tender Orders of Existing Notes submitted under Option B at or prior to the Early Tender Date will receive a portion of the Cash Consideration (as defined below) (such portion, the "Early Cash Consideration"), plus the applicable Early New Notes Consideration (as defined below) (together with the Early Cash Consideration, the "Early B Consideration"). Tender Orders of Existing Notes submitted under Option B after the Early Tender Date but on or prior to the Expiration Date will receive a portion of the Cash Consideration (such portion, the "Late Cash Consideration"), plus the applicable Late New Notes Consideration (as defined below) (together with the Late Cash Consideration, the "Late B Consideration" and the Early Cash Consideration or the Late Cash Consideration, as the case may be, the "Applicable Cash Consideration").
The Cash Consideration is an aggregate amount equivalent to the lesser of (x) 30% of the principal amount of Existing Notes that are validly tendered and accepted for exchange in the Offer and (y) the principal amount of the Existing Notes accepted for exchange under Option B (the "Cash Consideration"). The Pro-Rata Cash Consideration that will be payable to Eligible Holders whose Existing Notes are accepted for exchange in this Option B will be equivalent to the Cash Consideration divided by the principal amount of Existing Notes accepted under Option B times 1,000 (the "Pro-Rata Cash Consideration").
The Early New Notes Consideration for each Eligible Holder whose Existing Notes are accepted for exchange under Option B will be equal to 1.04 times the difference between U.S.$1,000 and the Pro-Rata Cash Consideration received by each such Eligible Holder. The Late New Notes Consideration for each Eligible Holder whose Existing Notes are accepted for exchange under Option B will be equal to 1.02 times the difference between U.S.$1,000 and the Pro-Rata Cash Consideration received by each such Eligible Holder. Accordingly, the actual amounts of Early New Notes Consideration or Late New Notes Consideration and Applicable Cash Consideration comprising the Early B Consideration or the Late B Consideration, respectively, to be received by each Eligible Holder whose Existing Notes are accepted in the Offer under Option B, will depend on the actual participation by Eligible Holders in the Offer and their selection between Option A and Option B.
The composition of the Early B Consideration or Late B Consideration between Cash Consideration and Early New Notes Consideration or Late New Notes Consideration will be determined on the Expiration Date.
A separate Tender Order must be submitted on behalf of each beneficial owner.
Accrued Interest
In addition to the Exchange Consideration, Eligible Holders whose Existing Notes are accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer will also receive all accrued and unpaid interest (rounded to the nearest cent U.S.$0.01) from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the Settlement Date (as defined below) (such payment, the "Accrued Interest Payment"), to be paid in cash on the Settlement Date.
The Settlement Date is expected to be May 12, 2022.
New Notes
Principal of the New Notes will mature on May 12, 2025. The New Notes will bear interest at 9.75% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 12 and November 12 of each year, commencing on November 12, 2022.
The Condition

Foreign exchange regulations currently prevent us from accessing the foreign exchange market to repay the full outstanding principal under the Existing Notes. Therefore, if we are unable to consummate the Exchange Offer, we may not be able to repay our debt in whole or in part under the Existing Notes at maturity.

New Disclosures Demonstrate Strong Momentum Across Company's Stated ESG Priorities of Security, Workforce Diversity, Environmental Stewardship and Financial Inclusion
ATLANTA, April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Equifax® (NYSE: EFX) continues to further its commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) priorities and has issued its annual ESG letter to shareholders and stakeholders and made new disclosures available on Equifax.com. These disclosures, which include the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) report, the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) report, Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO-1) report, the 2021 Equifax Security Annual Report, and financial inclusion initiatives, illustrate the company's strong momentum across its ESG priorities, including continued leadership in security, driving greater workforce diversity, reducing environmental impact and increasing financial inclusion.
"We are a New Equifax – a global, diversified data, analytics, and technology company that has expanded well beyond a traditional consumer credit bureau. Through our unique combination of differentiated data assets, innovative analytics and industry leading technology, we play a critical role in the global economy and in the lives of individual consumers each day," said Mark W. Begor, CEO of Equifax. "As part of our commitment to creating a more inclusive global economy, we are making a strong investment in ESG priorities in a way that is aligned with our company purpose – to help people live their financial best. This purpose drives our 13,000 global employees every day."
Equifax recognizes that data, analytics and technology is a powerful force in addressing pressing issues facing the world around us. Last year, the company accelerated its commitment to ESG priorities, announcing an important sustainability commitment to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 enabled by the Equifax Cloud™. In 2021, Equifax made significant progress against its ESG priorities – all of which are integrated into the company's core business strategy. The measurable, positive ESG outcomes seen by Equifax over the last year are outlined in an open letter from CEO Mark W. Begor and include:
Continued Leadership In Security
Equifax launched its inaugural Security Annual Report in 2021, detailing the steps the company has taken toward embedding security across its enterprise – from technology infrastructure, data fabric, and product development, to mergers and acquisition strategies and employee training. Now in its second year, the latest Security Annual Report highlights Equifax's significant advances in several key areas, including cloud security, digital supply chain security, employee security training, and global risk management. Because of these efforts and beyond, the company's security maturity and posture today exceed every major industry benchmark as measured by independent third parties.
Driving Greater Workforce Diversity
In 2021, 77% of the Equifax senior leadership team (defined as direct reports of the CEO and certain other key executives) reflected gender, racial or ethnic diversity; 38% of the senior leadership team identified as female; and women comprised 44% of the Equifax global workforce. During that same time, 41% of Equifax U.S. employees identified with diverse racial and ethnic groups. Equifax shares diversity data and details regarding its inclusion and diversity initiatives through annual EEO-1 and SASB reports and discussion on its ESG website.
Reducing Environmental Impact
Equifax's initial TCFD report provides transparency into the company's environmental sustainability practices. It shows that Equifax's combined scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions have decreased each year since 2019, with an approximate 13.5% decrease between 2019 and 2021 and an approximate 3% decrease between 2020 and 2021. The move to the Equifax Cloud is expected to propel the company on its journey to net-zero by significantly reducing the footprint of onsite technology and data centers, leveraging the enhanced energy efficiency of cloud service providers.
Increasing Financial Inclusion
Equifax strives to create and empower economically healthy individuals and communities everywhere the company does business. In 2021, Equifax delivered two big "firsts" – announcing the availability of the industry's first and only U.S. credit report in Spanish, as well as being the first to include Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) tradelines in its U.S. consumer credit files. Most recently, Equifax, in a joint measure with its industry peers, announced significant changes to medical collection debt reporting in an effort to better support consumers facing unexpected medical bills.
"We are energized by the significant progress made by Equifax in 2021, but we recognize that there is more to do," continued Begor. "We are committed to transparency in our ESG journey and will keep sharing our progress along the way. It is our hope that our focus on ESG will serve as an example for other financial institutions, as we continue to show how we are better positioning Equifax for long-term sustainability, and, in turn, building shareholder value."

The naturally sweetened and green-tea caffeinated addition to FITAID Sports Recovery line promises to revolutionize energy drink industry
SANTA CRUZ, Calif., April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- LIFEAID Beverage Company has released a new line of clean performance energy drinks. The FITAID Energy® collection is the long awaited clean-caffeine addition to their original Sports Recovery product, FITAID®, boosted with 200mg of caffeine from green tea. The FITAID Energy + Sports Recovery blend is naturally sweetened with only 15 calories, no sucralose, no aspartame, no fillers, and no synthetic caffeine. Available in four electric flavors: Mango Sorbet, Peach Mandarin, Blackberry Pineapple, and an on-line exclusive Raspberry Hibiscus, FITAID contains no artificial flavors or colors.
"This is the evolution of energy. Energy 3.0," says LIFEAID Co-Founder and President, Aaron Hinde. "FITAID Energy is unlike any other energy drink on the market. Our clean caffeine from green tea helps fight your fitness fatigue and contains our original post-workout recovery blend which includes BCAAs, Turmeric, Electrolytes, Vitamins B, C, D3, E, and more. All of our hand-picked ingredients have met the highest supplement standards and remain vegan, non-gmo, and gluten-free. Coupled with no sucralose, no taurine, and no synthetic caffeine, FITAID Energy is the future of clean performance energy."
LIFEAID Beverage Company has long held itself to the highest standards of product design and formulation. The LIFEAID research and development team spent a year formulating an optimal blend of clean caffeine and quality supplements to give athletes an all-in-one solution without compromises. Each of the four flavors have a clean, crisp finish and avoid the synthetic aftertaste often associated with energy drinks.
"We started LIFEAID to disrupt the legacy of sodas and energy drinks already in the market. Over the years, we've started to see emerging energy drinks in retail. We didn't consider many of them necessarily healthy from their ingredient deck. Nearly all of them are artificially sweetened with sucralose or aspartame, which as we know kills your gut microbiome." says LIFEAID Co-Founder and CEO Orion Melehan.
FITAID Energy is available at the company's website, Lifeaidbevco.com, Amazon, and select retailers including, Vitamin Shoppe, Harris Teeter, HEB, HyVee, Circle K, Stop & Shop, Big Y, United Market Street, G & M Oil.
Melehan continues, "We embarked on a year-long endeavor of creating a superior product in terms of functionality, a clean ingredient deck with our naturally derived caffeine from green tea and lowered the calorie count to 15. We did this while staying within our brand guardrails to keep it naturally sweetened. I'm confident that you will love them as much as we do!"

ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NATSO, representing truckstops, travel plazas and off-highway fuel retailers, and SIGMA: America's Leading Fuel Marketers commended the Biden Administration for permitting year-round sales of gasoline containing 15 percent ethanol (E15). The industry cautioned, however, that ongoing impediments related to infrastructure compatibility could limit market penetration of higher blends of ethanol being sold in the United States.
The fuel retail industry advocated for year-round E15 sales to help lower fuel prices for consumers while enhancing the industry's fuel options and improving the carbon intensity of those fuels.
"We support removing unnecessary regulatory barriers to the sale of higher ethanol blends. E15 offers retailers an opportunity to diversify fuel options and improve gasoline's emissions characteristics while lowering costs for consumers and enhancing America's energy security," said David Fialkov, Executive Vice President of Government Affairs for NATSO, speaking on behalf of NATSO and SIGMA. "Fuel retailers will continue to face obstacles to investing in E15, primarily in the form of infrastructure compatibility concerns and associated liability exposure. While today's announcement is positive, until these obstacles are removed, they will impede the sale of higher ethanol blends."
Specifically, fuel retailers must grapple with a state-by-state patchwork of expensive infrastructure compatibility requirements. Fuel retailers also face liability concerns if consumers misfuel their vehicles, potentially voiding their manufacturer's vehicle warranty.
The industry looks forward to working with the Administration, lawmakers and all industry stakeholders to address these outstanding concerns.

NEW YORK, April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Butterfly Network, Inc. f/k/a Longview Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: BFLY) (a) between February 16, 2021 and November 15, 2021, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), and/or (b) all holders of Butterfly common stock as of the record date for the special meeting of shareholders held on February 12, 2021 to consider approval of the merger between Longview and Butterfly (the "Merger") and entitled to vote on the Merger, of the important April 18, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Butterfly securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Butterfly class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=3602 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than April 18, 2022. 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, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. 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 4 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 firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, the Proxy was negligently prepared and, as a result, contained untrue statements of material fact or omitted to state other facts necessary to make the statements made not misleading and were not prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations governing its preparation. Additionally, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and compliance policies. Specifically, the Proxy and defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Butterfly had overstated its post-Merger business and financial prospects; (2) notwithstanding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Butterfly's financial projections failed to take into account the pandemic's broad consequences, which included healthcare logistical challenges, and medical personnel fatigue; (3) accordingly, Butterfly's gross margin levels and revenue projections were less sustainable than the Company had represented; (4) all the foregoing was reasonably likely to have a material negative impact on Butterfly's business and financial condition; and (5) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Butterfly action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=3602 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com 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 investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

TORONTO, April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Halo Collective Inc. ("Halo" or the "Company") (NEO: HALO) (OTCQX: HCANF) (Germany: A9KN) today announced that its Budega Westwood Dispensary passed its Los Angeles inspection and is expected to open within 30 days.
The Budega Westwood location is perfectly located nestled in between Westwood to the west and Beverly Hills to the east, right off of one of LA's most traveled and famous thoroughfares for locals and visitors, the Santa Monica Boulevard (10461 Santa Monica Blvd) and within two miles of the University of Los Angeles California campus. The facility is leased and near complete with renovations of its approximately 1,500 square foot prime retail space with the potential to expand the site to up to 3,000 square feet.
On Friday, March 31, 2022, Budega Westwood successfully passed the local Department of Cannabis Regulation ("DCR") final site inspection and has been approved to proceed with the final state license review citing no violations. Budega Westwood is now into final state licensing administrative review and once opened will mark the second of three planned Los Angeles dispensaries following the opening of the Company's first dispensary in the Arts District of North Hollywood in March 2022.
Budega Westwood will follow the retail cadence of NOHO by continuing to offer our vast product assortment exceeding 1,000 SKUs, including many top-tier California brands such as Jungle Boys, Jeeter, Cookies, and Kiva as well highlight Budega's vertically integrated line of branded products, which remain amongst the top selling SKU's at Budega NOHO. In addition, the store will also stock Halo's Hush™ branded cartridges, gummies, and pre-rolls. The store plans to operate Monday through Sunday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Visit www.budega.com for more information or to place your order online.
It is with great pride that we announce our introduction into southern California's retail cannabis market is proving to be successful. By means of analyzing internal reports, guest feedback and participation in our various proprietary programs and through measurement of both the customer frequency and sales trajectory, our NoHo location is exceeding the initial internal estimates for financial performance. Our emphasis on creative market share capture, development of trend setting customer loyalty programs and our front line execution, combined with a strong product assortment and service standards validates that cannabis consumers are receptive to the different experience that we are delivering and making Budega the place to shop, work and transact for locals and visitors.
"The expansion of our Budega concept furthers our presence in the fast-growing, under-served California market," commented Kiran Sidhu, Halo's Chief Executive Officer. "We have put significant effort into building a differentiated retail concept, creating a superior experience for our customers with a wide variety of high-quality products to serve discerning consumers and meet any need. We expect the Budega brand to achieve a leadership position amongst cannabis dispensaries," stated Kiran Sidhu, CEO of Halo.
California is the highest-grossing state for cannabis retail sales in the United States, with legal retail sales of $5.2 billion1 in 2021, up 17% from 2020. California is projected to gross $7 billion by 2025.2 California is the largest legal cannabis market in the United States and is less saturated than other mature retail markets. In Los Angeles County, there are approximately 250 licenses3 for a population of 3.9 million across 500 square miles4, compared to Oregon, which has 4.3 million people and approximately 800 stores across 98,466 square miles5. There are roughly two licenses per 100,000 people in California, one of the lowest rates in the nation among states that support legal recreational sales. By comparison, Oregon has 18 retail shops for every 100,000 residents. Colorado boasts a similar ratio, and Washington state's rate is more than triple California's6.
As Halo continues to implement its seed-to-sale verticalization strategy, owning and operating retail businesses, particularly in California, is key to increasing value by controlling distribution and adding operating margin. As such, the closing and acquisition of 66 ⅔% of the Westwood Los Angeles dispensary businesses and previously 100% of its respective management company marks another milestone.
Further to its press release dated February 6, 2021, the Company has completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of ZXC11 Company Majority Member (as defined below) (approved social equity applicant which owns 66 ⅔% of ZXC11 LLC ("ZXC11")), in a strategic move to further the Company's presence in California's growing cannabis market.
A subsidiary of PSG Coastal LLC merged with the limited liability company that owns 66 ⅔% of ZXC11 (the "ZXC11 Company Majority Member"). ZXC11 Company Majority Member survived, and PSG, as a result, owns 100% of ZXC11 Company Majority Member. The other 33 1/3% of ZXC11 continues to be owned by the social equity applicant (which is required under the DCR regulations).
The consideration payable by Halo in connection with this merger is an aggregate of 390,769 Halo shares, issuable as follows:
- 236,903 Halo shares were issued on March 2, 2021 as a non-refundable pre-closing deposit upon acceptance of the transaction by NEO Exchange, of which 168,519 will be subject to the Pooling Agreement; and
- 153,865 Halo shares were issued at the closing of the merger.
The merger agreement includes customary representations and warranties, closing conditions, and indemnification provisions. In addition, upon closing, Halo issued an aggregate of 11,539 Halo shares to an arm's length party as a finder's fee, and such shares will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day.
Halo is a leading, vertically integrated cannabis company focused on the West Coast of the United States and operates other emerging businesses in CBD and non-psychotropic mushroom functional beverages. In its cannabis operations, the Company cultivates, extracts, manufactures, and distributes quality cannabis flower, oils, and concentrates and has sold hundreds of millions of grams of cannabis in the form of flower, pre-rolls, vape carts, edibles, and concentrates since inception. The Company sells a portfolio of branded cannabis products including its proprietary Hush™, Winberry Farms™, Williams Wonder Farms, and Budega™ brands, and under license agreements with Papa's Herb®, DNA Genetics, Terphogz, and FlowerShop*.
In Oregon, Halo has a combined 14 acres of owned and contracted outdoor and greenhouse cultivation. The Company also operates Food Concepts LLC, a master tenant of a 55,000 square foot indoor cannabis cultivation, processing, and wholesaling facility in Portland.
In California, Halo maintains licenses for extraction, manufacturing, and distribution. The Company has partnered with Green Matter to purchase the Bar X Farm in Lake County and plans to develop up to 63 acres of cultivation, comprising one of the largest licensed single-site grows in California. Halo has opened its first dispensary in Los Angeles under the Budega™ brand in the Arts District of North Hollywood and plans to open two more in Hollywood, and Westwood by the 2nd quarter of 2022.
Halo is also expanding into other consumer health and wellness categories expected to experience rapid growth in consumer demand, including functional supplements such as nootropic nutraceuticals. The Company has recently acquired H2C Beverages, a company focused on cannabinoids and non-psychotropic mushroom functional beverages, and entered into a distribution and manufacturing agreement with SWAY Energy Corporation (formerly Elegance Brands Inc.), to propel the national distribution of beverages, capsules, and topical supplements under H2C and Halo's functional mushroom brand, Hushrooms.
Halo has acquired a range of software development assets, including CannPOS, Cannalift, CannaFeels, and a discrete sublingual dosing technology, Accudab. The Company intends to reorganize these entities (including their intellectual property and patent applications) into a subsidiary called Halo Tek Inc., and to complete a distribution of the shares of Halo Tek Inc. to shareholders on record, at a date to be determined.
Halo also operates three Kushbar retail cannabis stores located in Alberta, Canada.

Includes HEI's first enterprise-wide greenhouse gas emissions inventory
HONOLULU, April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (HEI) (NYSE: HE) today released its 2022 consolidated report describing its updated policies, actions and performance for full year 2021 with respect to a range of environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters, including climate-related risks and opportunities. This is HEI's third and most comprehensive ESG report.
The report includes HEI's first enterprise-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory, which will further guide the company's ESG strategies and provide greater transparency around its progress on climate issues. Net enterprise-wide GHG emissions in measured categories decreased 15% from 2015 to 2021, driven largely by reductions in the utility's generation-related emissions.
"Our ESG progress demonstrates our commitment not only to operating a sustainable business, but also to building a sustainable Hawai'i in which our children and grandchildren, our communities, our customers and our fellow employees will thrive together now and for generations to come," said Scott Seu, HEI president and CEO. "Our company has been serving Hawaiʻi for over 130 years, and this deep-felt mindset comes naturally to us as a longstanding business in our island state. The alignment between ESG principles, state policy in Hawaiʻi, community expectations, and our goals as a company has never been stronger."
HEI identifies 19 ESG priorities in the report and places special focus on seven topics: decarbonization; economic health & affordability; reliability & resilience; secure digitalization; diversity, equity & inclusion; employee engagement and climate-related risks & opportunities.
The 2022 ESG report extends HEI's Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)-aligned reporting from 2021. It also presents data aligned with Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) guidelines for HEI's utility and bank subsidiaries.
To review the HEI 2022 ESG report, visit www.hei.com/esg.
Among the highlights:
- Hawaiian Electric
- American Savings Bank
- Pacific Current
The HEI family of companies provides the energy and financial services that empower much of the economic and community activity of Hawaiʻi. HEI's electric utility, Hawaiian Electric, supplies power to approximately 95% of Hawaiʻi's population and is undertaking an ambitious effort to decarbonize its operations and the broader state economy. Its banking subsidiary, American Savings Bank, is one of Hawaiʻi's largest financial institutions, providing a wide array of banking and other financial services and working to advance economic growth, affordability and financial fitness. HEI also helps advance Hawaiʻi's sustainability goals through investments by its non-regulated subsidiary, Pacific Current. For more information, visit www.hei.com.

7th Annual FORTIFIED Awards Highlight Record-breaking Growth
RICHBURG, S.C., April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) announced recipients of its annual FORTIFIED Volume and Pioneer Awards today at an event celebrating a breakout year for the FORTIFIED program. FORTIFIED service providers – and particularly Volume Award recipients – were instrumental in the program reaching two key milestones. In 2021, FORTIFIED celebrated its 30,000th designation and set a program record for annual designations by helping nearly 12,000 families better protect their homes from severe weather.
"With increases in both the frequency and intensity of severe weather, it's imperative Americans take the opportunity to strengthen their homes during new construction or when it is time to re-roof," explains IBHS CEO Roy Wright, "Despite the challenges facing the building industry, the companies we honor today continued to provide the information, opportunity and expertise to guide homeowners to make their homes stronger and, in the process, helped further establish FORTIFIED as the national standard for resilient construction."
The FORTIFIED Home™ program, developed by IBHS and based on decades of research, is a voluntary beyond-code construction and re-roofing method that strengthens homes against storms. Each of FORTIFIED's three levels of protection (Roof, Silver, Gold) has been proven through lab testing and real-world events to reduce the risk of damage from severe weather, including high winds, hail, hurricanes and even tornadoes. The program offers homeowners three vital elements: the FORTIFIED Home standard, FORTIFIED-trained contractors and a verification process by independent FORTIFIED evaluators to confirm a home has been built or re-roofed meeting all FORTIFIED requirements.
"Intense and active hurricane seasons in 2020 and 2021 sparked a demand for resilient construction and re-roofing, and our network of contractors and evaluators worked tirelessly to meet it," says FORTIFIED Managing Director Fred Malik. "At the same time, FORTIFIED Pioneers were introducing the program to impacted communities across the country. As a result of this work, thousands of families will have a home to come back to after the next storm."
With the help of those FORTIFIED Pioneers, partner organizations and other service providers, FORTIFIED grew throughout the Southeast in 2021. That momentum has continued to build into this year, with the program garnering unprecedented interest throughout the country and on track to see its first designations in as many as six states in 2022.
For the first time, IBHS is presenting a FORTIFIED Pioneer Award to a manufacturer that has demonstrated a commitment to advancing resilient construction. The inaugural recipient is Huber Engineered Woods, recognized for being an innovator in manufacturing products compatible with the FORTIFIED standard, introducing the FORTIFIED program to contractors across the U.S. through training and marketing opportunities and, most recently, increasing visibility of the program and enabling roofing contractors to more easily identify products that meet the FORTIFIED standard by incorporating FORTIFIED branding and installation details on its newest product, Zip System™ Peel and Stick Underlayment.
Also for the first time, IBHS is recognizing government agencies who use the FORTIFIED program to help make their communities more resilient against severe weather. The New Orleans Redevelopment Authority is the first agency in the country to require new construction it funds to meet the beyond-code requirements of FORTIFIED. Similarly, the Louisiana Office of Community Development and the Louisiana Housing Corporation are working together to ensure the 14 multifamily projects funded through the PRIME program meet the FORTIFIED Multifamily standard. Each agency was honored with a Pioneer Award.
"Every year, we're reminded it only takes one storm to devastate a community," added Wright. "Our FORTIFIED Volume and Pioneer Award recipients are helping narrow the path of storm damage by ensuring thousands of families have a home that can withstand the severe weather it faces."
IBHS is proud to recognize the builders, roofers and certified FORTIFIED evaluators who put FORTIFIED into action across the country.

NEW YORK, April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bramshill Investments, an award-winning alternative asset management firm, today released its new report, The Case for Preferred Securities in a Rising Rate Environment. The report discusses how preferred securities, an often overlooked and underutilized fixed-income alternative, can offer investors compelling diversification and income opportunities in today's volatile and rising rate environment.
With yields and returns comparable to high-yield fixed income, quality nearing that of investment-grade credits, and low correlation with the fixed income and equity markets, today's preferred securities have evolved into a distinct and attractive income-generating asset class—boasting a variety of structures and serving as a meaningful component of an investment portfolio.
Preferred securities are a specialty of Bramshill, differentiating the firm from others in the fixed income investment management arena. The firm's multi-decade relationships, execution capabilities, quantitative modeling, and experienced research team help Bramshill maintain a competitive advantage in this asset class which already has and will continue to serve their clients well over many different market cycles.

LOS ANGELES, April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Proof of Learn, a new Web3 learning platform with a mission to unlock accessible high-quality education across the world through blockchain technology unveiled its first project Metacrafters - a learn-to-earn education platform. The Proof of Learn team shared the Metacrafters teaser trailer at NFTLA with an immersive experience.
This mission-driven team with a focus on accessibility and equality is taking their global experience scaling Web2 solutions with a social impact to Web3, by creating Proof of Learn, a platform with a vision to make high-tech education accessible to people all over the world - and to give employers transparent access to students' skill sets. Proof of Learn is a learn-to-earn platform where students put their learned vocational skills into practice as they progress. What's more, it incentivizes learning by offering students cryptocurrency and NFTs upon mastering new skills. Proof of Learn aims to increase massive open online course completion rates, which studies show hover between 5-15%, by not only incentivizing completion with learn-to-earn economic rewards but also by providing a strong network community for the students.
Proof of Learn and Metacrafters is led by co-founders Sheila Lirio Marcelo, Kevin Yang, and Lauren Tornow. Marcelo founded and was former CEO and Chairwoman of Care.com — the world's largest online marketplace for care, serving more than 35 million people across 20 countries and growing more than 100% year-over-year from its founding in 2006 until the company went public in 2014, and then sold to IAC in 2020. Yang is a technology entrepreneur, blockchain developer, and Stanford Computer Science graduate, specializing in crypto and mobile apps, who helped build and scale the Philippines' leading mobile fast-food delivery app. Tornow also hails from Care.com, where she led marketing and international expansion; she also led marketing at Brainly, an online global learning community.
"Blockchain technology has already transformed the global industry, making its best-known impacts in finance, art, and real estate. This new tech remains largely untapped when it comes to innovating the way we learn and what we do with what we learn" says Founder and CEO of Proof of Learn, Sheila Lirio Marcelo.
Proof of Learn's mission is to target students who live in emergent economies such as Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America - regions with incredible potential and the need for access to Web3 education and job opportunities. On the employer side, Proof of Learn will give companies the ability to access real-time information about students' credentials, with the goal of transparency and overall meritocracy, improving the efficiency of employment matching across the globe.
Transition to Web3 is an opportunity to narrow the digital divide by equipping lower-income, high-potential people globally with skills to fit the internet's next iteration. "As a team with strong personal ties to developing countries, like the Philippines, we care deeply about creating new education and employment opportunities across the globe," says Sheila.
Proof of Learn connects promising global talent to professional global opportunities, guiding and rewarding that talent during their education and offering employers the best possible professionals to play meaningful, fulfilling roles in the new economy.

SUGAR LAND, Texas and COPENHAGEN, Denmark, April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Noble Corporation (NYSE: NE) ("Noble") and The Drilling Company of 1972 A/S (CSE: DRLCO) ("Maersk Drilling", and together with Noble, the "Parties") today provided an update on the ongoing merger control process for the business combination announced on 10 November 2021 (the "Transaction").
At this point in time, the Transaction has been unconditionally approved by the competition authorities in Brazil, Norway, and the Republic of Trinidad & Tobago. Accordingly, the only outstanding pre-closing merger control clearances are in Angola and the United Kingdom ("UK"). The Parties expect the competition authority in Angola to unconditionally approve the Transaction during April 2022.
The merger control process for obtaining clearance in the UK remains ongoing with constructive discussions continuing between Noble, Maersk Drilling, and the UK Competition and Markets Authority ("CMA") ahead of the CMA expectedly publishing their phase 1 decision on 22 April 2022. While the CMA is yet to take its phase 1 decision, the Parties expect that it will be necessary to divest certain jackup rigs currently located in the North Sea (the "Remedy Rigs") to obtain conditional antitrust clearance in phase 1 from the CMA. The Parties currently expect the Remedy Rigs to comprise the Noble Hans Deul, Noble Sam Hartley, Noble Sam Turner, Noble Houston Colbert, and a CJ-70 design drilling rig which, at this point, the Parties believe is likely to be the Mærsk Innovator, although it is possible the Noble Lloyd Noble could be required to achieve phase 1 clearance. On this basis, the Parties have started to examine different options to divest the Remedy Rigs.
The Parties believe that the financial and strategic rationale underpinning the Transaction remains intact and compelling for all stakeholders irrespective of the divestment of the Remedy Rigs. The Parties' estimated annual run-rate cost synergies goal also remains unchanged. Further, the Parties do not intend to change the exchange ratio agreed between them for purposes of the Transaction.
Though the Parties expect that they will be required to divest the Remedy Rigs in order to gain CMA clearance, the duration and outcome of the CMA review process remains uncertain. If the Parties are able to obtain a conditional phase 1 antitrust clearance from the CMA, they expect closing of the Transaction will occur in mid-2022.

Robert W. "Bob" Arnold, 94, gained his new body on Monday, April 11, 2022. Bob was born on September 3, 1927 to Charles C. Arnold and Odie Studards Arnold in Kossuth. Bob was fourth in a family of six. Due to a family situation, Bob and some of his siblings were sent to live with relatives. Bob`s maternal aunt, Lillian Crum, became his caregiver at an early age. Bob said this was the best thing that could have happened to him. He was taught obedience, responsibility, and a love for God. Aunt Lillian was a kind, generous woman, who loved her little nephew very much. Right after his sixteenth birthday, Bob and three of his friends headed for Memphis, Tennessee to join the fight against Japan. Bob joined the United States Navy and was soon being bussed across the county to California for basic training. After basic training, he was sent to Asiatic Pacific. It was here that his ship was torpedoed and sunk. Bob was injured and sent to Hawaii to recuperate. Bob received the Victory Medal and an honorable discharge as Seaman First Class from Vallejo, California. Bob settled in Memphis, where he worked for A&P Tea Co. He soon became interested in professional wrestling. Throughout the years he wrestled throughout the mid-south and became a regular on Saturday morning wrestling television show on WHBQ, hosted by Lance Russel and Dave Brown. After meeting his wife, the love of his life, he moved to Tupelo in 1967 and became a fan favorite, soon earning him the ring name "The Tupelo Kid." He married his wife, Wanda Brown Arnold, on August 26, 1967. They would have celebrated 55 years of marriage this year. In Tupelo, he worked at Palmers Big Star and then Kroger, where he worked for twenty-five years before deciding to retire. After retirement from wrestling, Bob went to work for Sheriff Bill Mitchell as a Deputy Sheriff and worked continuously for every Sheriff until Sheriff Presley died. Bob retired from the Sheriff's Department that same year. Bob loved working in his yard and traveling, and most of all he enjoyed meeting new people. Bob leaves behind his wife of 54 years, Wanda Brown Arnold of Tupelo; sons, Marc Arnold and his wife, Kim, of Guntown, and Kip Arnold of Tupelo; daughters, Diane Knichel and her husband, Jimmy, of Oxford and Janet McDaniel of Arlington, Tennessee; brother, Lee Goode of Amory; grandchildren, Jennifer Smith, and her husband, Alan, Jake Melton, and his wife, Sonya, Jaylin Blaylock, and his wife, Taylor, Hayden Copeland, and his wife, Rebecca, and Karla McDaniel; great-grandchildren, Rylan, Jakob, Madison, Kayle, and Dalton; and great-great-grandchild, Asher and his fur baby, Bubba. Bob is preceded in death by his parents; son, James Dennis; brothers, Orlando Arnold, Ernest Arnold, Howard Goode, and Roy Goode; sisters, Ruby McDowell, Helene Roe, Ruby Arnold, Paulette Mageary, Romael Martin, and Ada White; father and mother-in-law, Leland and Syble Brown; and his fur baby, Samey Soso. Visitation will be 11 a.m. until service time Friday, April 15, 2022 at W.E. Pegues, Tupelo. Services honoring Bob's life will be 1 p.m. Friday, April 15, 2022 at the Jefferson Street Chapel of W. E. Pegues. Burial will be in Longview Cemetery. Honorary pallbearers will be David Payne, James Barton, Lee DuBois, Paul DuBois, Sonka Keopradit, and Jimmy Knichel. Memorials may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, P.O. Box 50, Memphis, TN 38101; Tupelo Lee Humane Society, P.O. Box 2143 Tupelo, MS 38803; or American Cancer Society, P.O.

DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- Extreme exhaustion and nausea are just a few symptoms that Durham resident Charity Watkins experienced just days after delivering her newborn daughter Margeaux. It's a day she will never forget.
"I thought I was having a heart attack," said Watkins. " I remember one night having this sharp pain in my arm and chest. The first time it happened it went away within 10 minutes. The second time, a couple days later at that time, I asked my husband to take me to the hospital."
She waited five hours in the waiting room at UNC Hospital without treatment. At the time, Watkins was a student at UNC-Chapel Hill. She opted for treatment at campus health a few days later. Almost immediately, that doctor ordered X-rays. He was alarmed at the heart-swelling.
"He literally had me rolled down to the same emergency room I waited in just a couple days before where I was finally admitted. I was told I had heart failure with my heart functioning only at 5%," she said.
Watkins was diagnosed with peripartum cardiomyopathy, an uncommon form of heart failure that happens during the final month of pregnancy up to five months after giving birth. Black women are at a higher risk of developing this condition.
On Tuesday morning, the National Urban League released a report on the state of Black America. With this week marking Black Maternal Health Week, data shows Black women are three times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause than White women. According to the CDC, most pregnancy-related deaths are preventable. Yet, each year 700 people die as a result.
" We're here to change those perceptions, change those experiences and ultimately change those health outcomes," said Joy Spencer Executive Director of Equity Before Birth.
The Durham-based nonprofit has a mission of saving the lives of black birthing people and their infants while improving access to services. Since its launch, they've provided financial services to more than 100 moms in the Triangle while educating them on how to advocate for themselves in the birthing room.
"You need to have a support person with you. It could be a family member, friend, partner or doula, another birth advocate. There is strength in numbers," she said.
Six years after Watkins experienced that traumatic incident, she has dedicated her life to educating Black women on unconscious bias in healthcare. Her daughter Margeaux is now six years old. She is forever grateful to that doctor at campus health who ordered her X-rays.
"If he hadn't listened to my concerns, that one doctor, I would have lost my life and that is scary to think about," said Watkins.
The state's largest insurer, Blue Cross Blue Shield is pledging $2 million to reduce racial disparities in maternal and infant health care. | https://abc11.com/black-maternal-health-week-women-risks-pregnancy/11741884/ | 2022-04-12T23:57:51 | 0 | https://abc11.com/black-maternal-health-week-women-risks-pregnancy/11741884/ |

WASHINGTON, April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Precision Cancer Consortium (PCC) is excited to announce its formation as a new collaboration of pharmaceutical companies with a shared vision of enabling access to comprehensive testing for all cancer patients globally. The PCC will drive a variety of initiatives aimed at increasing patient access to precision diagnostics using comprehensive genomic testing, including next generation sequencing (NGS). The PCC's founding members are Bayer, GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, and Roche.
Despite significant treatment advances that target specific molecular alterations in cancer cells, many patients still do not undergo biomarker testing necessary to inform their treatment options. Currently, stakeholders may not be aware of the benefits of comprehensive genomic testing or may not know how to translate results into appropriate patient care. In addition to limited use of precision diagnostics in routine cancer treatment, there are other challenges related to recruiting patients into research studies investigating targeted therapies in biomarker subgroups defined by genomic alterations.
"With cancer, the earlier patients are diagnosed and begin treatment, the better their outcomes tend to be. Precision diagnostics, including comprehensive genomic testing, are an important part of developing treatment plans that can help patients," explains Espen Walker (Roche), Chair of the Precision Cancer Consortium. "The PCC is focused on addressing these barriers across the cancer ecosystem with the aim of improving outcomes for patients."
PCC's objective is to support efforts to improve patient access to comprehensive genomic testing in routine care and in clinical trials. The PCC currently has two workstreams. The first workstream aims to remove barriers to access and increase educational awareness on the value of genomic testing for healthcare stakeholders - including patients, healthcare providers, and health care systems. The second workstream focuses on improving efficiencies in genomic biomarker testing in clinical trials. The PCC will not endorse or promote any diagnostic or therapeutic products or services.
The PCC is open and welcomes additional members. The PCC invites pharmaceutical or biotechnology organizations engaging in or supporting the discovery, development, research of interventions and diagnostics related to precision oncology to join this important initiative. Membership inquiries can be directed to the PCC using the contact information below.
About the Precision Cancer Consortium (PCC)
The Precision Cancer Consortium is composed of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies focused on fostering collaboration on issues and opportunities related to precision oncology with the goal of improving patient outcomes by increasing cancer patient access to comprehensive genomic testing, including next generation sequencing, and addressing major gaps in precision diagnostics availability.
The inaugural members of the PCC are Bayer, GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, and Roche. Inquiries regarding PCC membership can be submitted to the PCC's Administrator at pccadministrator@faegredrinker.com.

NEW YORK, April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Grab Holdings Limited f/k/a Altimeter Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: GRAB, GRABW) between November 12, 2021 and March 3, 2022, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important May 16, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Grab securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Grab class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=3876 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than May 16, 2022. 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, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. 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 4 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 firm's 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) Grab's driver supply declined during the third quarter; (2) as a result, Grab continued to invest heavily in driver and consumer incentives to "preemptively recalibrate driver supply"; (3) as a result, Grab's financial results would be adversely impacted, including, among other things, a significant decline in revenue; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about Grab's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Grab class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=3876 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com 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 investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

NEW YORK, April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Mullen Automotive, Inc. ("Mullen" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MULN). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at newaction@pomlaw.com or 888-476-6529, ext. 7980.
The investigation concerns whether Mullen and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.
On April 6, 2022, Hindenburg Research ("Hindenburg") published a report addressing Mullen, entitled "Mullen Automotive: Yet Another Fast Talking EV Hustle", calling the Company among the worst electric vehicle ("EV") hustles that Hindenburg has seen in a crowded field of contenders such as Nikola Corporation and Lordstown Motors Corp. Among other things, Hindenburg observed that "[d]espite only spending ~$3 million in R&D in 2021, Mullen claims its solid-state battery technology is on track for commercialization in 18 to 24 months, putting it [a]head of every major technology and automaker in the industry who have collectively invested billions on solving the problem." The Hindenburg report also alleged that the Chief Executive Officer of EV Grid, Inc. ("EV Grid"), which makes batteries and battery management systems for vehicles, refuted a press release issued by Mullen regarding test results for its battery, stating "[w]e never would have said that" and "[w]e never did say it and certainly wouldn't have said it based on the results of testing that battery." Additionally, the Hindenburg report alleged that Mullen's claims to be in a joint venture with NextMetals Ltd. ("NextMetals") to create a solid-state battery were refuted by a NextMetals senior executive who said it "'was a nonstarter' and 'didn't exist.'"
On this news, Mullen's stock price fell $0.07 per share, or 2.57%, to close at $2.65 per share on April 6, 2022.

NEW YORK, April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc. ("Playstudios" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MYPS). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at newaction@pomlaw.com or 888-476-6529, ext. 7980.
The investigation concerns whether Playstudios and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.
On February 1, 2021, Acies Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company, announced that it had reached a merger agreement with Playstudios, a privately-held gaming company incorporated under the laws of Delaware (the "Merger"). On June 21, 2021, Playstudios announced that it had completed the Merger and that the Company would begin trading on the Nasdaq as "PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc." on June 22, 2021.
On August 11, 2021, Playstudios released its financial results for the second quarter of 2021. The financial results reported for the quarter were finalized on June 30, 2021, just nine days after the Merger closed. At that time, Playstudios revealed for the first time that the launch of its flagship game, Kingdom Boss, was being delayed until later in the year and investors should expect decreased revenues and profits during the year as a result.
On this news, Playstudios' stock price fell $0.66 per share, or 11.48%, to close at $5.09 per share on August 12, 2021.
Then, on February 24, 2022, Playstudios issued a press release summarizing its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2021, and held an earnings call to discuss the Company's results. On that call, Playstudios' Chief Executive officer attributed the Company's failure to meet projections made for revenue and earnings to the failure to launch Kingdom Boss, and revealed that Kingdom Boss was not only delayed, but indefinitely "suspended".
On this news, Playstudios' stock price fell $0.24 per share, or 4.71%, to close at $4.86 per share on February 25, 2022, and continued to fall to $3.90 per share on March 1, 2022, or a total decline of 23.53%.

HOUSTON, April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A Texas state appellate court panel has rejected Facebook, Inc.'s latest attempts to avoid facing alleged sex trafficking victims in court, according to the victims' lawyers at Annie McAdams PC, The Gallagher Law Firm, and Sico Hoelscher Harris LLP
In a ruling today, the Fourteenth Court of Appeals of Texas panel affirmed a trial court's earlier denial of Facebook's jurisdictional appeal. The new ruling follows an unprecedented one last year by the Texas Supreme Court which allowed alleged sex trafficking survivors to sue Facebook under a Texas anti-trafficking law. Facebook also has failed for nearly three years to have the Jane Doe case thrown out under Section 230 of the federal Communications Decency Act.
In the new ruling, the Fourteenth Court stated, "Texas has a strong interest in protecting citizens of the State by exercising jurisdiction over these types of claims."
In June 2021, the state supreme court ruled that the trafficking victims could proceed with lawsuits alleging that Facebook violated Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 98, an anti-trafficking law passed in 2009. The underlying cases, originally filed in state district courts in Harris County, Texas, allege that Facebook, Inc. benefited from sexual exploitation of the "Jane Doe" trafficking survivors.
The trafficking victims are represented by Annie McAdams of Annie McAdams PC, of Houston; Michael T. Gallagher of The Gallagher Law Firm, of Houston; and David E. Harris and Jeffrey Richter of Sico Hoelscher Harris LLP, of Corpus Christi, Texas.
Annie McAdams, of Annie McAdams PC, said, "These courageous trafficking survivors have fought for three years for their day in court against Facebook. Because of the state Chapter 98 protections, we believe trafficking survivors in Texas can expose and hold accountable businesses such as Facebook that benefit from these crimes of exploitation."
According to the lawsuits, the social media giant provided "an unrestricted platform to stalk, exploit, recruit, groom, and extort children into the sex trade. Facebook is now the first point of contact between sex traffickers and these children… Facebook not only provides an unrestricted platform for these sex traffickers to target children, but it also cloaks the traffickers with credibility."
Jeffrey Richter, of Sico Hoelscher Harris LLP, said, "We continue to believe Facebook has an obligation to safeguard its users, both through its online platform and otherwise, of the dangers of human traffickers using Facebook as a tool to entrap and enslave children into sex trafficking."
In April 2018 testimony before Congress, Facebook Chairman and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the company had not "taken a broad enough view of Facebook's responsibility to the community and content." He added, "We [Facebook] need to make sure that people aren't using it to harm other people or to spread misinformation.

Tommy Harold Patterson of Pontotoc, MS, passed away at his home early Monday morning, April 11, 2022. He was born to in 1946 to Loyd Wayne and Ora Faye Dunnam Patterson and grew up in Ripley, MS, though he was fond of telling people he lived in Hatchie Bottom until he was 10. He was baptized at age 14 at Springdale Baptist Church and never wavered in his belief in his Savior or eternal life. He married Patsy Montgomery of North Carrollton, MS, in 1970. He graduated with his beloved classmates from South Tippah High School in 1965, having played whatever sport was in season. He attended Missis-sippi College on athletic scholarship, lettering in both football and baseball. As much as he enjoyed his days at MC and the friends he made there, he came to love all things Ole Miss and followed football, baseball, and bas-ketball there as long as he was able. For 30 years he and Patsy set up in The Grove in true Rebel fashion with the Sandroni, Darnell, and Winter families, celebrating wins and mourning losses. After having coached high school sports and taught math for more than 10 years in Franklinton, Louisiana (where he & Patsy welcomed both their children), Kossuth and Pontotoc High Schools, he began work in manage-ment at first with Phil Jones at Brookwood and then at Action/Lane, where he was human resource manager for 27 years until he retired. He was an Alderman for the City of Pontotoc for five terms. He also refereed basket-ball for 33 years and football for 26. He was known as Coach by many and was often greeted with, "I know you. You called a foul on me one time for...." To this he would laugh and reply, "Well, you shouldn't have done it." A faithful member of FBC since 1979, he served through the years in the jail ministry and as a deacon and Sunday School teacher. He was predeceased by his parents and his stepmother (Stella Hall Patter-son). He is survived by his wife Patsy, his daughter Sidra Winter (Michael), his son Hunter (fiancee Christi Hamblin), his brother Tony (Debbie) of Cot-ton Plant, one nephew, and one niece. The family plans to celebrate his life during a visitation Tuesday, April 12, from 5:00-8:00 at First Baptist Church Pontotoc Fellowship Hall. The funer-al service will follow Wednesday, April 13, at 11:00 in FBC sanctuary. Browning Funeral Home was honored to assist the family. Pallbearers will be Robert Welch, Tommy Morton, Bill Rutledge, Fred Fortier, Richard Eaton, Sam Dowdy, and Gene Ward. Honorable pallbearers include FBC Renegade Sunday School Class and former MHSAA officiating friends and cohorts. The family is grateful to all those who have prayed and offered support, to Sanctuary Home Hospice, and to his sweet sitter, Margaret King Bynum. Donations can be made to Sanctuary Hospice, Tupelo; First Baptist Church Pontotoc; or the school sports program of your choice.

INDIANAPOLIS – Food banks are preparing for an additional spike in demand as the federal pandemic SNAP benefits are set to expire in a few weeks.
Since the start of the pandemic, families on food stamps have been able to receive the maximum benefit allowed for their household size.
Due to a new state law, May will be the last month families on SNAP receive the enhanced benefit, according to the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration.
“I’m very concerned,” said Richard Gordon, senior resource manager for Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana.
Gordon, who helps people apply for SNAP benefits, said he has seen a growing number of people in recent months asking for information about food stamps, including many who have never received them before.
“A lot of families with … the rising cost of gas, food, what have you, are experiencing hardships right now and just really having trouble making ends meet,” Gordon said.
Food banks have already seen an increase in demand in recent months.
Gleaners sent 10 million pounds of food to its food pantries last month – more than any other time in the pandemic, according to officials.
It’s a similar story for the Midwest Food Bank, whose food pantries have seen a 10% increase in demand in the past two months.
“The hardest hit seem to be right here in the main Indianapolis area but we also have some deep embedded poverty in the rural counties as well,” said John Whitaker, executive director of the Midwest Food Bank.
The amount each family’s monthly SNAP benefits will decline in June will vary, based on household size, income and allowable deductions.
Meanwhile, the Midwest Food Bank is planning additional pop-up distributions in anticipation of the increased demand, Whitaker said.
“Some people try to make it, but then it just takes one incident to move them to where they really need to count on SNAP and with the way it’s being drawn back now, we going to have to step up our efforts,” he said.
As of February, more than 619,000 Hoosiers receive SNAP benefits.

(The Hill) – President Biden formally announced a waiver on Tuesday that will allow the sale of fuel with higher ethanol content to be sold during the summer months, an action he said would help lower soaring gas prices.
Current regulations prevent the fuel from being sold between June and September due to concerns about its effect on smog and other forms of air pollution.
Advocates have said the regulations in question were written for fuels that are 10 percent ethanol rather than so-called E15, which is 15 percent ethanol.
Administration officials, announcing the decision Monday night, projected it would save the average family 10 cents a gallon, a figure Biden also cited in his remarks Tuesday afternoon.
“Home grown biofuels have a role to play right now … as we work to get prices under control and reduce the costs for families,” the president said in Iowa on Tuesday, during a speech at POET Bioprocessing in Menlo, next to a giant pile of cornmeal.
In his remarks, Biden emphasized the role of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in energy costs, blaming Russian President Vladimir Putin for the recent surge in energy prices.
“I’m doing everything within my power by executive orders to bring down the price and address the Putin price hike,” the president said.
“Your family budget, your ability to fill up your tank, none of it should hinge on whether a dictator declares war and commits genocide half a world away,” he said, also describing Putin’s actions as “genocide” for the first time.
Biden appeared at the event alongside Cindy Axne (D-Iowa), who is among vulnerable Democrats in Congress in the impending midterm election cycle.
The speech represented the latest effort by the Biden administration to address growing concerns about inflation and heightened gas prices in particular.
Fuel prices, already spiking earlier this year, have ballooned further as Russia’s war in Ukraine has disrupted the global market. Gas prices averaged about $4.10 per gallon nationwide as of Tuesday, according to AAA.
Labor Department data released Tuesday showed consumer prices rose 1.2 percent in March and 8.5 percent over the past year.
Polls show the American public increasingly concerned about high consumer prices.
Biden on Tuesday highlighted other actions his administration has taken, including the largest-ever release from the U.S. strategic petroleum reserve he announced last month.
The president framed the waiver announced Tuesday as a “made in America” solution to the crisis, citing its potential to both support agricultural economies and reduce reliance on foreign oil.
“It gives you a choice at the pump — when you have a choice, you have competition, when you have competition, you get better prices,” he said. “This is an industry with a tremendous future.”
Biden also said increased use of such fuels was vital to achieving the administration’s goal of reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by midcentury. Ethanol is made from corn and has been mixed into fuel as a way to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
“You simply can’t get to net-zero by 2050 without biofuels,” he said. | https://fox59.com/news/national-world/biden-pitches-new-action-to-lessen-gas-prices/ | 2022-04-12T23:59:24 | 1 | https://fox59.com/news/national-world/biden-pitches-new-action-to-lessen-gas-prices/ |
Also clinically proven to significantly reduce back, ankle and foot pain
LOS ANGELES, April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With one in four American adults suffering from chronic knee pain[1], a promising study out of UCLA points to a viable, non-surgical solution: GDEFY® medically engineered shoes. In fact, study participants wearing the GDEFY shoes with patented VersoShock® technology reported an average reduction in knee pain of 85%, as well as significant decreases in other common conditions including back, ankle, and foot pain.
A double-blind, randomized study conducted at Olive View UCLA Medical Center, recently published in the Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association, shows wearing shoes with VersoShock soles decreases knee pain by up to 85% vs. wearing shoes with conventional soles during prolonged standing and walking.
"Our mission is to maximize comfort and boost performance for people who have foot biomechanics that keep them from walking properly, and to enable normal pronation (foot movement)," said Alexander Elnekaveh, founder and Executive Chairman of Gravity Defyer Medical Technology Corporation, GDEFY's parent company. "The goal is to ensure our customers can lead productive, pain-free lives anywhere—on the go or in the workplace."
In the UCLA study, fifty-two adults with overuse symptoms of knee pain were enrolled and randomly assigned to use the intervention sole or the traditional sole shoes. For five weeks, participants wore either the shoe with the intervention sole or the shoe with the conventional sole, rating their knee pain on a 10-point visual analog scale at study onset, midway, and study completion.
After five weeks, participants using the GDEFY intervention sole shoe with shock-absorbing VersoShock technology reported an average reduction in knee pain of 85%, significantly better than participants using the traditional sole shoe (P < .01), whose average pain scores increased. Also observed were positive effects on back, ankle, and foot pain in those with the intervention sole shoe compared with the traditional sole shoe.
"We are committed to helping individuals stay active and pain-free. And the UCLA study proves that our powerful VersoShock technology significantly relieves discomfort," said Elnekaveh.
About Gravity Defyer Medical Technology Corporation
Gravity Defyer Medical Technology Corporation was founded in 2008 by Alexander Elnekaveh following the development of the patented VersoShock® technology in 2004 by Impact Research Technology Group (a renowned team of podiatrists, physical therapists, biochemical and material engineers convened under Elnekaveh's leadership). Since its launch, the company has developed hundreds of new styles for various activities and lifestyles. Shoes with potent shock-absorbing VersoShock technology are clinically proven to reduce pain in four key areas: knee (85%), back (91%), ankle (92%), and foot pain (75%). GDEFY customers receive a premium Comfort Fit insole and Corrective Fit orthodontic insole with each shoe purchase (excluding sandals).
The Gravity Defyer Backstory
It all began after Elnekaveh's 14-year-old nephew was diagnosed with a cancerous growth in his heel. Even after successful heel replacement surgery, physical therapy, and help from leading doctors in pain management, his nephew had little chance to walk pain-free again. Already an avid inventor of high-quality products, Elnekaveh set out to develop a solution.
Following his development of the first Gravity Defyer (GDEFY) shoe with VersoShock® technology by Impact Research Technology Group, Elnekaveh started using the prototypes to relieve his own issues with pain, and he was shocked by the results. It worked better than he ever imagined, not just for heel pain but also for back pain, knee pain, and a host of other aches and discomforts.
