Study: Lack of sleep may increase abdominal fat
(CNN) – If you’re losing sleep at night, you may be gaining belly fat.
That’s according to a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Naima Covassin, a Mayo Clinic cardiovascular medicine researcher who led the study, said lack of sleep makes people snack more frequently, especially in the evenings.
“Insufficient sleep can influence our eating behavior, making us eat more and consume especially foods rich in carbohydrates and fat,” Covassin said.
The excess calorie intake can lead to weight gain.
Covassin said short sleep also seems to alter the hormones that regulate appetite, increasing the levels of the ones that make us hungry and decreasing the ones that make us feel full.
After two weeks of short sleep, the study’s participants noticed a difference, showing “not only an increase in body weight, but specifically an increase in belly fat,” Covassin said.
The increases were in both types of fat, subcutaneous and visceral. The latter is more dangerous.
Even a small increase in visceral fat over time can have a big impact on your health.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it can increase the risk for heart disease, stroke and other serious health conditions like diabetes.
For adults, at least seven hours of sleep each night is recommended.
“We hope that people will recognize the implications of insufficient sleep for weight management and for obesity risk, even for young, healthy, lean people,” Covassin said.
The researchers said they want to further study what may cause fat when there’s sleep loss, and whether those who have pre-existing risk factors, like those with diabetes, are at a higher risk of weight gain if they’re sleep deprived.

Talkin’ Trash Tuesday: Earth Day and CIU holds RAMServe
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - In today’s Talkin’ Trash Tuesday, put Earth Day on your calendar. The Columbia-area nonprofit Keep the Midlands Beautiful will celebrate Earth Day by hosting a volunteer litter pickup.
The event is part of a series called Spotless Service Saturday where business owners, civic organizations, churches, and residents unite to address the growing litter problem. This event coincides with The Great American Cleanup, an annual nationwide cleanup program initiated by Keep America Beautiful.
Once the cleanup is complete, all participants will be invited to return supplies, receive thank-you gifts and lunch. The volunteer who collects the most trash will receive a prize.
And also picking up trash today are some of the 1,000 students who are gathering together for a huge community effort. Early this morning, students at Columbia International University hosted students of Benedict College and Columbia College for today’s kickoff of RAMServe.
The Ram is the CIU mascot. And in this case, RAM stands for “Renewal Around the Midlands” with the motto of “Family, friends and neighbors serving together.” In addition to picking up litter, they’re doing repair projects, ringing bells for the Salvation Army to raise money for Ukraine, fixing a roof of a church building, and doing yard work for elderly residents. Even playing a board game with those who don’t have anyone. They’re also helping to organize clothes at the Oliver Gospel Mission Thrift Store.
Students from Ben Lippen, Dreher, Eau Claire and Lower Richland high schools also are spanning out across greater Columbia today to serve their community.

Traffic stop in Lexington County leads to sheriffs finding multiple drugs
LEXINGTON COUNTY, S.C. (WIS) - A Columbia man has been arrested for drug and weapon charges after a traffic stop Monday morning.
A Lexington County Sheriff’s Department deputy stopped Robert Joseph Helrigel Jr., 39, on River Road.
According to officials, Helrigel was pulled over for a traffic violation, and inside his car a rifle and handgun were found.
“The deputy immediately smelled marijuana coming from inside Helrigel’s car, which established probable cause to search the car,” Lexington County sheriff Jay Koon said.
Koon says Helrigel had a box in his car with about 625 grams of meth inside, and in a separate bag, there was about 100 grams of fentanyl.
The deputy also found scales and packing items, which officials say are typically used in the scale of drugs, along with $600 in cash.
Helrigel was charged with drug and weapon charges in connection to trafficking meth, possession with intent to distribute marijuana, unlawful carry and more.
He was arrested on the scene and is being held at Lexington County Detention Center.

Treasury bars Russia payments in dollars from US accounts
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Treasury Department is moving to keep the Russian government from making debt payments at U.S. banks with U.S. dollars, restricting one of the strategies President Vladimir Putin is using to stave off default, an agency official said Tuesday.
Russia faces several April deadlines to make debt payments. The Kremlin must now choose between draining its remaining valuable dollar reserves, using new revenue coming in or default, said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the official wasn’t authorized to speak on the record.
The Treasury decision comes after the agency previously said sanctions levied on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine still permit Russia to continue to make debt payments. The debt is owed to foreign investors, among others, and comes from government investments to presumably spur economic growth in Russia.
Russia is currently facing skyrocketing inflation, shortages in essential goods and disrupted trade with the rest of the world as it continues its invasion of Ukraine.
While the ruble has bounced back from the fall it took after the U.S. and European allies moved to bury the Russian economy, Putin has resorted to extreme financial measures to blunt the West’s penalties and inflate his currency.
Western sanctions from the war have placed severe restrictions on banks and their financial transactions with Russia, and also have frozen much of the government’s reserves of foreign currency.
The West has cut key Russian banks out of a financial messaging system known as SWIFT, which is used every day to route billions of dollars among more than 11,000 banks and other financial institutions around the world. Sanctions have been issued on Russian leadership, oligarchs, trade and natural resources, and the country’s central bank.
The U.S., EU and United Kingdom have limited the ability of Russia’s central bank to draw on more than $600 billion in foreign currency reserves and have frozen its gold reserves. That has left the central bank with few tools to prop up the ruble and prevent it from crumbling in value.
The decision to limit bond payments will further deplete the resources Putin is using to continue his war against Ukraine and will cause more uncertainty and challenges for Russia’s financial system, the Treasury official said.
Darshak Dholakia, a trade and government regulations attorney in Washington, said now that Treasury has restricted access to these funds, “it seems like the calculus has changed.”
He said the U.S. is finding ways to ensure that Russia has less money to buy weapons by reducing its access to funds to pay for its bond obligations.
“The U.S. has not put full blocking measures on the central bank yet,” he said. “They’re saying that Russia can’t touch those funds unless it’s for an authorized purpose.”
Once a country defaults, it can be cut off from bond-market borrowing until the default is sorted out and investors regain confidence in the government’s ability and willingness to pay. Additionally, holders of the bonds could take serious losses and can sue.
Russia’s government can still borrow rubles at home, where it mostly relies on Russian banks to buy its bonds.

VIDEO: Robbers get away with car and wedding dress in violent carjacking
OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) – A violent robbery and carjacking was caught on camera in California.
The attack happened in Oakland in late March. The victim is fortunately ok, but very upset over what the thieves took.
The woman, who only wanted to be identified as Ms. Yu, says advocating for safety is practically part of her DNA.
“I have been volunteering in Oakland’s Chinatown since high school,” she said. “A lot of things we promote include safety.”
Yu’s dedication to safety makes what happened to her on March 27 even more terrifying.
After she parked and saw no one was around, Yu said she walked around to the passenger side of her car to get her purse.
That’s when she noticed something was wrong.
“I immediately closed the door and turned around and four or five guys approached me,” she said. “I immediately started running.”
Surveillance video from a nearby business shows one suspect catching up to her.
Yu said at least one person in the group had a gun.
“One guy grabbed my arms,” she said. “He took my keys from my hand and pushed me to the ground, and I hit my head.”
Within seconds, her black Honda Civic was gone.
“At that moment I was really scared and didn’t have time to react,” she said.
While Yu’s physical wounds were not serious, her heart was broken over the things she lost that were inside the trunk.
“Out of everything, the wedding dress was the one that I was sad about the most,” she said. “Because it does not belong to me.”
Just one day before the carjacking, Yu picked up her best friend’s dream wedding gown they had searched for months to find.
“It was really beautiful,” Yu said. “The perfect dress for her. The moment she tried it on, we all said ‘that’s the one.’”
Yu planned to store it at her home until her friend’s fall wedding, which had already been postponed because of the pandemic.
“She was like ‘Are you joking?,” Yu said.
While Yu takes some time off from work to mentally heal, she is speaking out on behalf of the community she calls home.
“Within the Asian community, a lot of people are afraid of reporting and to be on the news,” she said. “Kind of like giving courage to other people.”

Sustainability Night promoted and showcased green initiatives for fans and the central Ohio community
HILLIARD, Ohio, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc. (ADS) (NYSE: WMS), a leading provider of innovative water management solutions and the second-largest plastic recycling company in North America, joined in presenting Sustainability Night with the Columbus Blue Jackets at last night's game. Sustainability Night is an annual event as part of the ADS's long-standing season partnership with the Columbus Blue Jackets as the club's Official Sustainability Partner.
Sustainability Night was designed to showcase and promote environmentally conscious and sustainable activities to Blue Jackets fans and the community, and highlight some of the sustainable actions ADS, the team and Nationwide Arena have taken recently. For example, to reduce energy use and save thousands of dollars each month, the arena has undergone LED lighting conversion, swapping out bowl sports lights and reducing the number of light fixtures from 585 to 130. Lighting throughout the arena is now 90% LED. Stringent light bulb and cardboard recycling is in effect, while the arena and team also recycle batteries from all automatic paper towel and soap dispensers, tools, scrubbers and even forklifts. Finally, motion-control faucets throughout arena restrooms help reduce water consumption during events.
For its part, ADS is a leading manufacturer of plastic drainage pipe and stormwater solutions that capture, convey, store and treat rainwater. ADS also recycles more than 500 million pounds of plastic last year. The company decreased its plastic scrap rate in its factories by 21%, and in 2020 consumed 28% of all HDPE bottles (detergent and milk jugs for instance) in the entire country.
ADS is also the presenting sponsor of the hockey club's "Between the Pipes" fundraising initiative. As part of the initiative, ADS will donate $5 for every regulation save and $10 for every shootout save by Blue Jackets goaltenders during the 2021-2022 season. Donations benefit the Blue Jackets Foundation, dedicated to promoting and supporting youth health and wellness in central Ohio. So far this season, ADS has contributed nearly $11,000 thanks to those Blue Jacket saves.
"As a global company headquartered in Hilliard, Ohio, ADS is an integral partner in supporting our sustainability initiatives and the Blue Jackets Foundation in central Ohio," said Columbus Blue Jackets Vice President of Corporate Sponsorships Ryan Shirk. "Thank you to ADS for joining us at Sustainability Night as we partnered to highlight some of the green initiatives and activities our two organizations have implemented, and encouraging our fans to join us in their own sustainability work."
"We were excited to celebrate our partnership with the Columbus Blue Jackets by joining them at Sustainability Night," said Scott Barbour, ADS president and CEO.

Nguyen announces NFT collection to "save the restaurant industry" and build community around the universal language of food
LOS ANGELES, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Andy Nguyen and Kevin Seo, the foodpreneurs behind the world's first Bored Ape restaurant, Bored & Hungry, today announce Food Fighters Universe (FFU), an NFT collection that will connect food and Web3. Launching in May, FFU will be a collection of 10,000 unique tokens on the ETH (Ethereum) blockchain. Each purchase will help to develop the world's first NFT-backed restaurant group, focused on building gathering places in real life (IRL) and the metaverse, while offering utility and experiences for Food Fighters NFT holders.
Food Fighters NFTs will grant members access to special events, rewards and perks in Web3 and IRL. That includes tickets and line hopper passes to an annual in-person Food Fighters Festival, along with hidden restaurants created as "Easter Eggs" for the Food Fighter community. In the spirit of Web3, shared governance on decisions such as restaurant locations or menu items will take place through conversation on Discord, Twitter and other platforms. Owning a Food Fighters NFT also will unlock free food rewards and Web3 perks.
"We launched Bored & Hungry to show people that NFTs are more than 'just a JPEG', that the IP can be used to create brands and businesses," said Nguyen, co-founder of viral restaurant concepts including Afters Ice Cream, Matte Black Coffee and Trill Burgers. "Food Fighters Universe is an extension of that idea.
"This project got inspired by seeing all the problems that are currently happening in the food & beverage industry. High food cost. High turnover of staff. Quality of service. I saw the Web3 space as a way to fix those problems and save the restaurant industry."
Nguyen and Seo will bring their favorite chefs and favorite people together to create concepts and food experiences. Rap legend Bun B (Bernard Freeman) and NBA All-Star/entrepreneur Baron Davis are part of the Food Fighters team, which also includes NFT advisor and consultant Josh Ong. The project is being developed by frensHouse, with augmented reality and 3D artwork by Bad Decisions Studio.
Artist frothyoatmilk designed the collection of NFT characters, which will include "Super Foodies" such as pizza, ramen, ice cream and sushi – each with unique rarity traits assigned at random. Ownership and commercial usage rights for the IP (intellectual property) will be given to NFT holders.
One percent of revenue from the Food Fighters Universe NFTs will be donated to food sustainability and world hunger charities, starting with Abound Food Care and Action Against Hunger.
The Food Fighters Universe NFT collection will launch in May, with a mint date to be announced soon.

CHICAGO, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (Cboe: CBOE), a leading provider of global market infrastructure and tradable products, today reported March monthly trading volume statistics across its global business lines and provided guidance for selected revenue per contract/net revenue capture metrics for the first quarter of 2022.
The data sheet "Cboe Global Markets Monthly Volume & RPC/Net Revenue Capture Report" contains an overview of certain March trading statistics and market share by business segment, volume in select index products, and RPC/net capture, which is reported on a one-month lag, across business lines.
March and First Quarter 2022 Trading Volume Highlights
Options
- In first-quarter 2022, total volume across Cboe's four options exchanges was 830.3 million options contracts, setting a record for the second consecutive quarter. Quarterly average daily volume (ADV) reached a new all-time high of 13.4 million contracts traded per day.
- Cboe successfully launched Nanos, a first of its kind, one-multiplier, cash-settled listed options contract, on March 14. Nearly 7,200 contracts traded in total within the first two weeks of launch.
European Equities
- Cboe BIDS Europe, Cboe Europe's block trading platform, reported record average daily notional value (ADNV) traded of €669 million, beating the previous record of €608 million ADNV traded in January 2022.
- Cboe Europe Periodic Auctions reported record ADNV traded of €2.1 billion, beating the previous record of €2 billion ADNV traded in February 2022.
European Derivatives
- Cboe Europe Derivatives traded 2,464 contracts, a record monthly figure and up from 1,623 contracts in February 2022.
Global FX
- Spot ADNV was $44.4 billion in March 2022, the second-highest volume month on record behind March 2020.
- Spot Full Amount ADNV reached a new all-time monthly high with $12.9 billion traded in March 2022.
- Cboe SEF set a new monthly ADNV record in Non-Deliverable Forwards (NDFs) with $957 million traded in March 2022.
First-Quarter 2022 RPC/Net Revenue Capture Guidance
The projected RPC/net capture metrics for the first quarter of 2022 are estimated, preliminary and may change. There can be no assurance that our final RPC for the three months ended March 31, 2022, will not differ materially from these projections.
The above represents average revenue per contract (RPC) or net capture based on a three-month rolling average. For Options and Futures, the average RPC represents total net transaction fees recognized for the period divided by total contracts traded during the period for options exchanges: BZX Options, Cboe Options, C2 Options and EDGX Options; futures include contracts traded on Cboe Futures Exchange, LLC (CFE). For U.S. Equities – On-Exchange, "net capture per 100 touched shares" refers to transaction fees less liquidity payments and routing and clearing costs divided by the product of one-hundredth ADV of touched shares on BZX, BYX, EDGX and EDGA and the number of trading days for the period. For U.S. Equities – Off-Exchange, "net capture per 100 touched shares" refers to transaction fees less OMS/EMS costs and clearing costs divided by the product of one-hundredth ADV of touched shares on BIDS Trading and the number of trading days for the period. For Canadian Equities, "net capture per 10,000 touched shares" refers to transaction fees divided by the product of one-ten thousandth ADV of shares for MATCHNow and the number of trading days for the period. For European Equities, "net capture per matched notional value" refers to transaction fees less liquidity payments in British pounds divided by the product of ADNV in British pounds of shares matched on Cboe Europe Equities and the number of trading days. For EuroCCP, "Fee per Trade Cleared" refers to clearing fees divided by number of non-interoperable trades cleared and "Net Fee per Settlement" refers to settlement fees less direct costs incurred to settle divided by the number of settlements executed after netting. For Australian Equities, "net capture per matched notional value" refers to transaction fees less liquidity payments in Australian Dollars divided by the product of ADNV in Australian Dollars of shares matched on Chi-X Australia and the number of trading days. For Japanese Equities, "net capture per matched notional value" refers to transaction fees less liquidity payments in Japanese Yen divided by the product of ADNV in Japanese Yen of shares matched on Chi-X Japan and the number of trading days. For Global FX, "net capture per one million dollars traded" refers to transaction fees less liquidity payments, if any, divided by the Spot and SEF products of one-thousandth of ADNV traded on the Cboe FX markets and the number of trading days, divided by two, which represents the buyer and seller that are both charged on the transaction. Average transaction fees per contract can be affected by various factors, including exchange fee rates, volume-based discounts and transaction mix by contract type and product type.

Peer-reviewed publication in the American Journal of Gastroenterology found Dieta's AI to be comparable in accuracy to expert gastroenterologists and superior to patients in classifying stool
LOS ANGELES, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dieta Health, a gastroenterology digital health company, today announced the peer-reviewed publication of a clinical study that found its AI to be comparable in accuracy to expert gastroenterologists and superior to patients in classifying stool.
Dieta is revolutionizing digestive healthcare with its personalized IBS care platform. The company has built the world's first mobile app with stool image recognition technology, making the measurement of digestive outcomes (poop) objective instead of subjective. The technology was validated in a published clinical trial at Cedars-Sinai, proving to be more accurate than the current industry standard of patient reported outcomes.
About the company and founder:
CEO and Founder, Asaf Kraus, is a Data Scientist and IBS patient, passionate about solving digestive health issues for millions of others who have suffered like him. In 2017, at the height of severity of his IBS, Kraus spent all his time outside of work consulting with gastroenterologists and other clinicians and experimenting with dozens of treatment options. Kraus learned a great deal about the painful and confusing journey of an IBS patient. Given his machine learning expertise as a Data Scientist at Uber, he formed a belief that data and AI can help solve some of these problems.
The most significant revelation came years ago when Kraus participated as a subject in a clinical trial, testing an experimental medication. During that experience, he learned how the scientific community was measuring results of interventions on stool – by asking patients to remember and subjectively classify their stool on the Bristol Scale.
As a result of this experience matched with data science expertise, Dieta built a mobile app for iOS and Android which lets patients conveniently snap an image of each bowel movement, and instantly classifies objective and accurate digestive health results. In addition to the Bristol Scale, the Dieta app also classifies multiple other stool characteristics including volume and fragmentation from a single image capture.
Today, the results of a groundbreaking human clinical trial validating Dieta's stool image recognition technology were published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology.
About the clinical trial:
The trial was run by the MAST Program (Medically Associated Science and Technology Program) team at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles. Principal investigator, Dr. Mark Pimentel M.D. is a world-renowned gastroenterologist and researcher, credited for the discovery of many innovative IBS treatments and diagnostics.
Patients recruited by Cedars-Sinai used Dieta's app to capture stool images before, during, and after taking an experimental medication throughout 2021. Two expert gastroenterology professors then manually classified over 200 images of stool to create a "gold standard" on which to compare Dieta's AI to the current standard of patient reported classifications.
The AI was shown to be comparable in accuracy to expert gastroenterologists and superior to patients in classifying stool.
The numbers:
- Dieta's AI was more sensitive (83%) and specific (94%) when compared to patients (55% and 71% respectively).
- Dieta's AI stool classifications were more correlated (0.71) to the patients' symptom severity scores as compared to even the patients' own classifications (0.46).
Dr. Pimentel found that "Dieta's stool image recognition objectified constipation, diarrhea and normal stools so there was less subjective patient influence on trial outcomes." The validation study proved that AI was far more accurate than patient self-reporting. "This could be a game-changer in terms of more clearly seeing true effects on patient stool outcomes and side effects of drugs in clinical trials for gastroenterology and beyond", Dr. Pimentel said.
Dieta is working with other GI pharmaceutical companies to adopt stool image recognition technology as a measurement tool to collect better data and truly understand the impact of their medications on stool outcomes.
In addition to the proprietary stool imaging AI, Dieta's platform for patients offers much more. Patients can also snap photos of meals, track medications and symptoms, and get guidance on choosing interventions (treatments) as they work towards improving their digestive health. Patients can also easily share their data with their clinicians to view on Dieta's Clinician Portal.
Dieta's applications have been used by over 7,000 patients. Next month, Dieta is planning on launching a patient care service, where patients who use the platform can also connect with a unified team of gastroenterologists, dietitians, and coaches to get guidance and care directly in the Dieta app.
Dieta Health raised $1.9 million in its pre-seed funding round, and is backed by Techstars, and investors/partners including Cedars-Sinai (an international leader in gastroenterology), and UnitedHealthcare (the world's largest healthcare payer).
Dieta's AI is superior to current standards, and its vision for solving IBS using data, alongside medical guidance and personal coaching is a win-win, improving the patient experience and saving time, money and stress.
About Dieta Health: A better way to manage and treat IBS, Dieta uses AI to personalize digestive healthcare for the 11% of the global population that suffers from digestive disorders. The first company to validate stool image recognition in a human clinical trial which makes the measurement of digestive outcomes (poop) objective instead of subjective. Dieta is based in Los Angeles and backed by Techstars, UnitedHealthcare (the world's largest healthcare payer), and Cedars-Sinai (a top medical center for gastroenterology). Download the app with Android or iOS.

Which pool cleaner is best?
There’s nothing better than going for a dip in a pool with crystal clear water on a hot summer day. Nobody wants to swim in a dirty pool though, which means you’ll need to spend the time and effort to maintain your pool so it is ready to use when the time comes. This means keeping the proper sanitizer levels and doing regular cleaning to remove debris and grime that collects on the floor and walls.
Pool cleaners make at least one aspect of your maintenance easy, especially if you opt for a robotic model like the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus. This convenient cleaner leaves pools up to 50 feet in length sparkling clean in less than two hours, thanks to its dual scrubbing brushes and integrated collection bin, which is equipped with fine mesh filters to catch small and large debris alike.
What to know before you buy a pool cleaner
Types of pool cleaners
There are several types of pool cleaners to choose from that vary in their convenience, cost and performance. Robotic cleaners are without a doubt the most convenient but are also the most expensive. Many offer advanced functionality, such as the ability to program automatic cleaning schedules, smart mapping of the pool’s size and shape and more.
Suction side pool cleaners are notably more affordable than robotic cleaners and are reasonably convenient in that they don’t require you to manually push a vacuum around the pool. Unlike robotic cleaners though, which run on standard AC power, suction side cleaners rely on your pool’s pump for suction and mobility. This means their effectiveness directly correlates to the strength of your pool pump. They also put excess wear and tear on your pump’s motor.
Pressure side pool cleaners take things a step further than suction side models by incorporating a jet stream of water that agitates debris for more effective cleaning. This allows them to remove algae and stubborn dirt that others may struggle with, but it also means they require more power, so you’ll either need a very strong pump or install a second, dedicated pump just for the cleaner.
Manual pool cleaners are handheld vacuums that require you to physically perform a pumping action. While the most affordable, these can be laborious and are best for small pools.
Pool type
Not all pool cleaners are suitable for every type of pool. Some are only designed for above-ground pools, while others can only be used in in-ground pools. Likewise, not all are designed to work with every type of pool liner or surface material. Before purchasing any pool cleaner, check the product details to ensure it is suitable for your specific type of pool.
Maintenance
Pool cleaners require some basic maintenance to keep them in good shape and functioning for as long as possible. After each use, it is best to take the cleaner out of the pool and rinse off any excess chemicals that could potentially cause some of the materials of the cleaner to deteriorate. You’ll also want to clean any filters and debris bags so they aren’t left sitting with wet material inside that could potentially grow mold. It is also best to store your cleaner somewhere it won’t be exposed to direct sunlight all the time, as UV rays can also cause premature deterioration.
What to look for in a quality pool cleaner
Debris bags
If you have a lot of large debris or leaves in your pool, it is not uncommon for your pump to get clogged up during the cleaning process, resulting in less efficient operation and added wear and tear. Cleaners with their own debris bag can help ensure that your pool’s pump continues to operate efficiently during the entire cleaning process.
Filters
Some pool cleaners run everything through your pool’s filter. Others feature their own components to catch debris before recirculating the water back into the pool. Both of these can benefit from having a fine filter. In the case of the former, this can eliminate the need to clean both your pool pump’s filter and the cleaner’s after each use. In the case of the latter, it helps ensure the water circulated back into your pool is free of both large and small debris.
Brushes
Some pool cleaners are equipped with brushes that help scrub away grime, algae and other unsightly material that has accumulated on the surfaces of your pool.
Mobility
Not all pool cleaners offer the same level of mobility. Some can climb walls and floors or get deeper into corners and closer to edges. Others may only clean the floor and not have the ability to climb up walls. You’ll also need to consider the mobility of non-automatic pool cleaners. In this case, it refers to their weight, shape and how easy they are for you to maneuver around the pool.
Power source
Pool cleaners make use of various power sources. Most robotic pool cleaners connect to a standard AC wall outlet, so you’ll need to make sure there is one located close enough to your pool to work with the included cable or have a long enough extension cord. If not, you may need to opt for a suction pool cleaner instead, which relies on the suction power of your pool’s pump to move it along surfaces. Some manual pool cleaners require you to perform a pumping action to create the suction.
How much you can expect to spend on a pool cleaner
The most basic manual pool cleaners cost as little as $20. Highly advanced robotic pool cleaners often cost $500-$1,500. Automatic suction cleaners cost $150-$400.
Pool cleaner FAQ
Does the size of my pool matter?
A. Yes, the size of your pool makes a difference when choosing a pool cleaner. Some robotic models are only intended to clean pools of a certain size due to cable length or other constraints. For manual pool cleaners, you’ll be limited in reach by the size of the pole you use with it.
Will a pool cleaner help with algae?
A. Pool cleaners help remove algae growing on the walls and floor of your pool, but they won’t help prevent it from growing. For this, you need to make sure to maintain your pool properly with the correct levels of chlorine or other sanitizers.

Which body bronzer is best?
When it comes to making your skin appear darker than it usually does, tanning in the sun or via artificial beds isn’t the healthiest option for your skin. Body bronzers, on the other hand, can safely provide a golden glow with little effort. Be careful though — not all bronzers are formulated for maximum efficiency when used on the body, and some tanning lotions market themselves as bronzers when they aren’t.
If you’re ready to give body bronzers a try, the best is the Firstfly Liquid Illuminator for Face and Body. It’s moisturizing, illuminating and comes in three shades.
What to know before you buy a body bronzer
Formula
Body bronzers come in three formulas: powder, liquid and cream.
- Powders are best for oily skin types. They typically come in compact disks and are usually applied by brush.
- Liquids are the most varied formula. Some can be as thin as water, others are thick enough to practically be creams. Depending on the thickness of the formula, they can come with pump, doe-foot or squeeze tube applicators. They can be used with oily skin but are best for drier skins.
- Creams are the thickest formula. They often have the most moisturizing properties and the highest degrees of sun protection. They usually come in pots, though some may use squeeze tubes. They can be suitable for most skin types, depending on the specific formula.
Body vs. face
A majority of bronzers are designed for use on both the face and body or only the face. There are a handful of bronzers meant for use only on the body. They often have higher levels of moisturization than face-only or mixed-intention bronzers and can lead to breakouts and clogged pores if used on the face. Conversely, it’s perfectly fine to use a face-only bronzer on the body — it just won’t be as effective.
Self-tanning
Some body bronzers include elements of tanning lotion. These provide an immediate benefit of artificial skin darkening while promoting natural tanning that can leave your skin darker for as long as a week. Use caution when shopping for bronzers with self-tanner — some tanning lotions market themselves as bronzers but don’t provide the immediate darkening effect, only a boost in natural tanning.
What to look for in a quality body bronzer
Shade and finish
Each body bronzers has a shade and finish.
- Shade: Body bronzers don’t have the same range of shades that most other makeups do. Many only come in one shade or offer deeper tones of the same shade. Bronzers with multiple shades usually offer one bronze-like shade and alternate colors such as gold.
- Finish: Most bronzers have radiant or glittery finishes. After all, bronze is a metal and metals typically have some amount of shine to them. Some powder bronzers do offer matte looks if you prefer.
Sun protection
Some bronzers, especially liquids with elements of self-tanning, include a small degree of sun protection. This is usually no stronger than 15 SPF, though some high-priced bronzers offer higher SPF.
How much you can expect to spend on a body bronzer
Body bronzer costs range between $5-$50. For less than $15, you’ll find effective products that don’t offer many special features. Spend up to $30 and you’ll find many special features. The very best cost $30 and up.
Body bronzer FAQ
What’s the best way to apply bronzer to the body?
A. That depends on the formula. Liquid and cream bronzers can be most easily applied to the body in one of two ways: by hand or by using a makeup sponge. Creams and thicker liquids are usually easier to apply by hand while thinner liquids are easier by sponge. Either method is doable for both creams and liquids should you find a particular method to be more comfortable for you. Powdered bronzer needs to be applied by makeup brush. Technically you can also apply liquid and cream bronzers with a makeup brush, but this will take much longer.
How long does a body bronzer last?
A. That depends on the formula. Most liquid and cream bronzers won’t last longer than a year, though a few might be stretchable to a year and a half. Powdered bronzers last longer, usually for 2-3 years.
What’s the best body bronzer to buy?

What are the top-rated false lashes on Sephora?
Whether you prefer soft, fluttery lashes or a bold, dramatic look that’s impossible to ignore, false lashes are usually the quickest, easiest way to get the look you want. And unlike with mascara, you don’t have to worry about smudging, flaking or running makeup during the day.
There’s definitely a learning curve when applying false lashes, particularly if you’re using traditional falsies requiring glue. Magnetic false lashes can be easier to use, but it all depends on finding a high-quality pair that can stay in place all day. No matter what type you decide on, though, you want to ensure that the lashes fit your eyes and are durable enough to hold up to repeated wear.
Looking for a beautiful pair of false lashes you can wear more than once? Check out these much-loved falsies you can find at Sephora to upgrade your lash game.

Which headphones are best for exercising outside?
Choosing the right pair of headphones for exercise takes a little extra time, especially if you work out in the great outdoors. You may want to be aware of your surroundings, such as other people or traffic, or you may want to drown out the sounds of the gym with a noise-canceling feature. Whether you prefer on-ear headphones, earbuds or bone conduction technology, there are plenty of models available with great sound quality, reasonable prices, advanced features or some combination of the three.
Best earbuds for outdoor exercise
Earbuds are a go-to style for indoor and outdoor exercise, mainly because they’re compact, lightweight and often connect to your smartphone easily via BlueTooth. No matter your budget, there are plenty of great in-ear models to choose from, many of which are versatile enough to wear just about anywhere. Compared to other exercise-friendly headphone styles, earbuds generally offer more premium features, such as advanced Bluetooth codecs and active noise canceling.
These true wireless earbuds have it all, including a secure fit, great sound quality and active noise canceling. It also has an optional transparency mode that lets you hear your surroundings. You can opt for the Elite 7 Active, which is Jabra’s more premium option. It has slightly better battery life and sound quality but is more expensive and doesn’t support the aptX codec.
Sold by Amazon
If you want several advanced features without spending a fortune, consider these updated in-ear headphones from Anker. Their multimode noise cancellation offers indoor, outdoor and transport settings that block out different sounds. These modes allow you to enjoy your music while being aware of what’s happening around you.
Sold by Amazon
Whether you’re running in the woods or lifting at the gym, the Powerbeats Pro are some of the most comfortable and secure earbuds available. Thanks to their powerful Apple H1 processor, they deliver great audio and enhanced bass response.
Sold by Amazon
These are great general-purpose earbuds for anyone who wants to save a little money. While they lack most advanced features, they have a long battery life, are lightweight and use Bluetooth 5.2 for a robust wireless connection.
Sold by Amazon
Anyone who has trouble with earbuds staying in their ears should consider this option from Anker due to their comfortable ear hooks. They’re completely waterproof, with an IP68 rating, so they’ll hold up even if you get caught in heavy rain.
Sold by Amazon
From one of the most well-known headphone manufacturers, these are a great choice if you value premium sound quality in addition to comfort and convenience. If you want active noise canceling, however, you’ll have to invest in their more expensive relative, the Bose QuietComfort earbuds.
Sold by Amazon
Best on-ear headphones for outdoor exercise
Over-ear headphones generally don’t work as well for exercise because they’re bulky and hot. On-ear headphones, however, are ideal for people who dislike the fit and feel of earbuds. If you’re one of those people, there are some excellent on-ear models specifically designed for breathability and comfort during exercise. Another benefit of on-ear headphones is that you can hear more of your surroundings.
If you don’t like earbuds, the Adidas RPT-01 should be at the top of your list due to the removable and washable knit ear cushions. They are well-ventilated, and the IPX4 rating means they’re resistant to sweat. The control knob is easy to use, even when you’re exercising.
Sold by Amazon
Ideal for those with small ears, the Fit 500 is compact and weighs just over 5 ounces. They’re equipped with nano-coating that can repel a significant amount of water, and they’re incredibly affordable too.
Sold by Amazon
These are one of the extremely rare on-ear models that boasts active noise canceling, which makes them more versatile than much of the competition. If you don’t need noise canceling and want to save money, consider their more affordable option, the JBL Tune 500BT.
Sold by Amazon
Best bone conduction headphones for outdoor exercise
Bone conduction technology creates a different sound than normal headphones. Instead of pumping sound directly into your ears, they send vibrations through the bone and cartilage in the sides of your head. As a result, bone conduction headphones let 100% of outside sounds pass through, so you’ll be aware of your surroundings.
The downside of bone conduction is that they don’t deliver much bass, and if your headphones don’t fit right, you’ll have trouble hearing some genres of music. On the other hand, bone conduction headphones are great for vocal-centric music or podcasts and perfect for passing the time while running or lifting weights.
These are the most refined model yet from the premier manufacturer of bone conduction headphones, and they offer a better fit. They have a better overall sound than any others on the market. The only drawback is that they’re relatively expensive.
Sold by Amazon
If you want bone conduction headphones but don’t want to spend a fortune, this is an effective pair that’s sweat-resistant, moisture-resistant and uses Bluetooth 5.0. Their six-hour battery life will last you through your longest workouts.
Sold by Amazon
The Acreo OpenBuds lie somewhere between bone conduction and typical wireless earbuds. They use more traditional dynamic drivers like normal headphones but lack the ear tips that many find uncomfortable. These earbuds do a better job of transmitting bass than normal bone conduction does.
Sold by Amazon

TORONTO, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Electra Battery Materials Corporation (TSXV: ELBM) (OTCQX: ELBMF) ("Electra") announced that in preparation for a potential listing of its common shares on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"), the Company will undertake a consolidation (the "Consolidation") of its outstanding common share capital on the basis of one (1) post-Consolidation share for every eighteen (18) pre-Consolidation shares. The Consolidation was previously approved by shareholders of the Company at the annual general and special meeting held on December 2, 2021.
- Uplisting from OTC to Nasdaq provides growth-oriented companies greater exposure to largest capital market in the world
- The resulting smaller share count and higher share price is more palatable to U.S. institutional investors. The revised capital structure and resulting higher share price may provide increased ability for U.S. institutional investors to become shareholders of Electra
- Target date of April 11 for share consolidation and the Company hopes to complete the Nasdaq listing by the end of April
"The decision to list on the Nasdaq will provide Electra with greater visibility through a leading capital market trading platform that is suited for growth-oriented companies like ours," said Trent Mell. "With the commissioning of Phase 1 of our Battery Materials Park expected in December, increased exposure to the largest market in the world coincides with first cash flow. Electra is uniquely positioned to provide a reliable, domestic and low carbon supply of refined battery grade materials for lithium-ion batteries, starting with cobalt at the end of 2022, recycled battery material in 2023 and battery grade nickel thereafter."
Subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, on or about April 11, 2022, the common shares of the Company will commence trading on a post-Consolidation basis under the existing ticker symbols. As of the date of this news release, the Company has 562,414,189 common shares issued and outstanding. Following completion of the Consolidation, the Company is expected to have approximately 31,245,232 common shares issued and outstanding. The exercise price and number of common shares issuable upon the exercise of the Company's outstanding options, warrants and convertible notes will also be proportionally adjusted upon completion of the Consolidation.
"In conjunction with the uplisting, the Company is required to complete a share consolidation to meet the minimum price threshold for a Nasdaq listing. The resulting smaller share count and higher share price is more palatable to U.S. institutional investors, which will be important for our future growth plans."
A letter of transmittal will be mailed to registered shareholders once the Consolidation has taken effect. The letter of transmittal contains instructions on how registered shareholders can exchange their share certificates evidencing their pre-Consolidation shares for new share certificates representing the number of post-Consolidation shares to which they are entitled.
Beneficial shareholders holding their shares through a brokerage may be subject to different procedures for obtaining their post-Consolidation shares. If shareholders have any questions in this regard, they are encouraged to contact their respective brokerage or intermediary.
Readers are cautioned that while the Company has applied for listing on Nasdaq, completion of a listing is subject to regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of applicable listing requirements. There can be no assurance that a listing will be completed, and in the event a listing is completed it is contemplated that the common shares of the Company would continue to trade in Canada on the TSX Venture Exchange.
Electra is planning to build a fully integrated, localized and environmentally sustainable battery materials park. Leveraging the Company's own mining assets and business partners, the Electra Battery Materials Park is expected to host cobalt and nickel sulfate production plants, a large-scale lithium-ion battery recycling facility, and battery precursor materials production, which will serve both North American and global customers. Electra also owns the advanced exploration-stage Iron Creek cobalt-copper project in Idaho, USA. Electra Battery Materials is an integral part of the North American battery supply chain, providing low-carbon, sustainable and traceable raw materials for the region's fast growing electric vehicle industry.
On behalf of Electra Battery Materials.

LOS ANGELES, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- City Attorney Mike Feuer should resign following a bombshell KNBC-TV report revealing Feuer was calendared for a meeting in which his office okayed an extortion scheme to keep the DWP billing debacle from becoming public.
Watch the report here: https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/dwp-scandal-what-did-the-la-city-attorney-know/2862816/
Feuer has said he knew nothing about the extortion scheme that engulfed a former high-ranking attorney in his office, Thomas Peters. However, a Public Records Act request by KNBC places Feuer at a key Dec. 1, 2017 meeting in which federal prosecutors and Peters agreed that the extortion scheme was discussed. Feuer claims he doesn't remember the meeting.
Feuer has repeatedly denied knowledge of the collusive DWP billing litigation that took place under his watch as city attorney.
"If he was in the room, he knew about it," said Jamie Court, president of Consumer Watchdog. "It's inconceivable that Mike Feuer was in the room when an order was given to pay off an extortionist to cover up the city attorney's misconduct and he didn't remember it. The calendar entry corroborates a mountain of circumstantial evidence pointing to Feuer's involvement. He has disgraced the office of City Attorney and it's time for him to resign."
Feuer's knowledge of the the extortion threat is backed up by other sources, including the federal government, and two former Feuer employees.
According to the latest criminal plea agreement in the DWP saga, former city attorney official Thomas Peters agreed to plead guilty to aiding and abetting extortion, a federal offense that carries a penalty of up to 20 years in jail. The scheme pertained to an unnamed person who demanded nearly $1 million from city counsel in exchange for burying information that would reveal the city's collusive litigation strategy to cover up the Department of Water and Power's faulty billing system.
During the December 1, 2017 meeting, Peters admitted that he met with "senior members" of the City Attorney's Office and updated them on the status of a threat only named by prosecutors as "Person A." KNBC's new evidence points to Feuer as one of those senior members.
Peters conveyed that "Person A" was a former longtime employee of Paul Kiesel, whom the city hired to litigate the DWP billing fiasco alongside Paul Paradis. Kiesel described "Person A's" threats as "extortion" and Peters was "directed to take care of the situation" by a higher up, according to the plea agreement. The payment was made.
Paradis in a recent ethics complaint with the State Bar of California said Feuer lied when he said he didn't know about the scheme.
According to Paradis, Feuer knew about the payment demand and was "extremely unhappy," and unless city co-counsel Kiesel and Paradis "cleaned up" the situation, they would be fired. Paradis, via Peters, said Feuer and his deputies "could not tolerate the fact of the collusive settlement in the Jones v. City of Los Angeles class action becoming public," according to the complaint.
Paradis also produced a text message following the December 1, 2017 meeting between him and Peters.
"Mike is not firing anyone at this point. But he is far from happy about the prospect of a sideshow," Peters wrote. A screenshot of the text is attached to an Ardent bankruptcy filing.
Feuer's denials contradicts a body of heavy circumstantial evidence showing that he knew about the DWP billing litigation, in which the city manufactured a fake lawsuit in order to deflect bad attention away from DWP. Part of the strategy involved installing an attorney for customers who filed a dummy, city-drafted complaint.
During his deposition related to the litigation, Feuer said "I do not recall" over 60 times. According to emails from his deputy, Feuer signed off on the original plan to get other attorneys to drop their suits against the city.
The DWP scandal has so far ensnared four figures within DWP and the city attorney's office, who will plead guilty to charges of bribery, making false statements, and extortion. It's estimated the corruption will cost taxpayers at least $200 million.

#1 Tourist Attraction Preparing for Return of High Visitor Numbers
SIEM REAP, Cambodia, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Government of Cambodia has formally opened one of the most ambitious new road programs undertaken by the Ministry of Public Works and Transportation. Launched in the world-renowned tourist site of Siem Reap, home to world famous Angkor Wat, the project includes over 100 km of new roads and nearly 250 km of rainwater drainage systems, parks, and other physical infrastructure.
Costing over US $150 million, the highly advanced infrastructure project has arrived in time for the much-anticipated return of high numbers of visitors to Cambodia's remarkable tourist attractions in Siem Reap, which were closed during the pandemic. The Ministry of Public Works and Transportation used the global COVID-19 shutdown to improve the region's infrastructure, creating jobs, and ensuring Siem Reap's position as a major global tourist destination. The construction was completed in just over one year, from 30 November 2020 to the end of 2021.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the new infrastructure in Siem Reap, the Chairman of the Inter-Ministerial Commission responsible for infrastructure management in the province and Minister of National Defense, DPM Tea Banh, said, "These roads play an important role in promoting infrastructure, reducing congestion, attracting investors, and national and international tourists. This will all contribute to turning Siem Reap into a modern city, a core area of the national economy, as well as a prime tourist destination for culture, heritage, history, and nature."
The 38-road construction project also added flood protection systems throughout the city, as well as roadside lighting, additional sidewalks, accessible paths for people with disabilities, bicycle lanes, parking lots, security camera systems, and trees and gardens.
28-year-old Try Malen, a resident of Sangkat Kork Chak, Siem Reap City, said, "When I was little, around my house, there were not many houses! All the forest around before was scary compared to now, which is very different. Now the road is clean and new trees are planted and it looks really good."
The Government of Cambodia, which is also building a new airport in Siem Reap, is expecting tourists to return in great numbers to the country now that COVID-19 has been brought under control throughout most of the world. Cambodia has been widely praised for its extensive COVID-19 vaccination program.

Ahead of Annual Cannabis Holiday 420, Wellness Brand Partners With Cannabis Reform Nonprofit Last Prisoner Project to Call For Public Support and Petition Signatures Seeking Expedited Relief for Families Impacted by Cannabis Convictions
MIAMI, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, CBD and personal wellness brand House of Wise and Last Prisoner Project, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing criminal justice reform for the cannabis community, announce their new campaign, Justice For All.
In honor of 420 – a holiday celebrated on April 20 that has long stood for community among cannabis and hemp users – and in recognition of the work still required to change policy and remove stigmas for cannabis and hemp users, House of Wise and Last Prisoner Project are working together to promote a petition urging the Biden Administration to create a Presidential Cannabis Clemency Board.
This board would be tasked with expediting the review and processing of clemency petitions from individuals with federal cannabis-related convictions. The campaign aims to secure 100,000 unique signatures to urge President Biden to deliver bold action and immediate relief for thousands of Americans.
READ AND SIGN THE PETITION FOR CANNABIS CLEMENCY
Following U.S. House of Representatives approval (220-204) on Friday, April 1, 2022 in favor of H.R. 3617: The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act of 2021, now more than ever it is imperative to continue pushing for policies that support criminal justice reform.
If H.R. 3617 is signed into law, marijuana and tetrahydrocannabinols will be removed from the federal list of Controlled Substances, and with that, many of the federal criminal penalties associated with cannabis cultivation, distribution, and possession will also be removed. Additionally, certain federal cannabis-related convictions and/or adjudication of juvenile delinquency could be expunged.
H.R. 3617 does not mention the violations in the Federal penal code that would be considered "nonviolent Federal cannabis offenses" for the purposes of expungement and/or resentencing process. The Act also disqualifies otherwise eligible individuals who received an aggravating role adjustment at sentencing in relation to a Federal cannabis offense from having their records expunged. Additionally, for automatic expungement to occur in an expeditious fashion, exact offense codes would need to be determined rather than needing to make eligibility determinations on a case by case basis. H.R. 3617 will soon be voted on by the Senate and need 60 votes to pass and move forward in the legislative process.
The effects of our country's decades-long war on marijuana will reverberate for years to come, especially in communities of color, which has been disproportionately affected by arrests and incarcerations. There is still much work to be done when it comes to cannabis and criminal justice reform. House and Wise and Last Prisoner Project are focused on bringing awareness to and amplification of the existing petition for a Presidential Cannabis Clemency Board, which would provide more impactful relief for cannabis convictions, helping thousands of present and former incarcerates secure their freedoms and provide legal relief to those still suffering the burden of collateral consequences following conviction.
Using their respective platforms to encourage advocacy and deliver accurate information, House of Wise and Last Prisoner Project will continue their work to dismantle stigmas around cannabis, raise awareness and funds to fuel real change, and offer wellness solutions for our communities.
Inspired by the countless number of families suffering devastating emotional, physical, mental, and economic repercussions stemming from cannabis criminalization, the Justice For All Campaign is driving change by:
- Calling for 100,000 signatures for the Cannabis Clemency Petition
- Raising money for the Last Prisoner Project Family Support Fund, as well as specific Last Prisoner Project constituents, through a limited-edition product release coming to House of Wise April 13
- Raising money for Last Prisoner Project through the auction of a one-of-a-kind NFT inspired by the 420 holiday and the Justice For All campaign, launching April 15
- Sharing ongoing educational content around cannabis policy, how to get involved, and the stories of real people impacted by cannabis convictions through the company's Wise Reads
Last Prisoner Project constituents and House of Wise creative partners Sean and Eboni Worsley are using their story and voice to share firsthand how unjust cannabis convictions have deep ripple effects on families. The Worsleys' story is a harrowing illustration of how the criminal sentence doesn't truly end after leaving prison, and why cannabis clemency is vital in criminal justice reform. Their story inspired the designs behind the upcoming Justice For All Limited-Edition CBD Sampler Box product release and NFT.
In 2016, Iraq War veteran, Purple Heart recipient, and legal card-carrying medical marijuana user Sean Worsley and his wife, Eboni Worsley, were arrested in the state of Alabama with the charge of Class C felony for possession of marijuana, despite his state-granted rights from Arizona to be in possession of marijuana. Follow along with House of Wise as it continues to share more about the Worsleys' story, how their experience has continued to have negative repercussions on their lives since the conviction, and how they're rebuilding and looking ahead to a brighter future for all in the cannabis community.
"The direct harms and collateral consequences of a cannabis conviction send ripple effects of trauma throughout each family that is negatively impacted. Those families deserve support, community, and the comfort of knowing that there are folks out there fighting for their loved one's freedom," said Mary Bailey, Managing Director of Last Prisoner Project. "It is with the support of partners like House of Wise that we are able to keep pushing for the full freedom of our constituents and provide financial assistance to their families through our reentry resources."
Since day one, House of Wise has been committed to an ongoing partnership with Last Prisoner Project. House of Wise was built on the premise of empowering women, helping them take charge of their lives and their routines with the help of originally formulated CBD products. In 2022, it remains a privilege to create, sell, and share House of Wise's high-quality collection of hemp-derived CBD products legally, and it is the moral obligation of the company to help combat cannabis-related incarcerations.
"It's 2022, and when you have cannabis dispensaries that look like premium retail shops popping up across the country, while thousands of people still remain behind bars for selling or using the same products sold in these shops, it's time for a bigger push for change, and fast," said Amanda Goetz, Founder & CEO of House of Wise. "We believe it is critical for us to collaborate with Last Prisoner Project and their community of constituents to share their stories and support the work they're doing to ultimately grant freedom and destigmatize cannabis convictions for thousands of vibrant people whose lives and well-being matter."
"420 is both a day to celebrate communities of cannabis users, and, more importantly, an opportunity for those same communities to call for action from political leadership to change policy and grant freedoms," Goetz continued. "This petition is a first step toward granting freedom for more people."
All are invited to sign the petition starting today. People can also sign up for a special waitlist to have access to the unveiling of the House of Wise x Last Prisoner Project Limited-Edition Justice For All product drop on April 13 and get information about – and a first look – at the upcoming NFT auction benefiting Last Prisoner Project.
About House of Wise
House of Wise empowers women to take control of their lives and daily routines, while working to shatter the stigmas and double standards they continue to face today. The brand offers high-quality, originally formulated CBD products, empowering users to give more intention and purpose to their daily routines so they can take back control of their sleep, stress, strength, and sex. House of Wise features a collection of seven trusted, premium CBD products in addition to wellness products and custom merchandise. Each CBD product is specially designed and paired with additional, thoughtfully selected active ingredients to help women make the most of every day.
About Last Prisoner Project
The Last Prisoner Project (LPP) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to cannabis-related criminal justice reform. As the United States moves away from the criminalization of cannabis, giving rise to a major new industry, there remains the fundamental injustice inflicted upon those who have suffered under America's unjust policy of cannabis prohibition. Through intervention, advocacy, and awareness campaigns, the Last Prisoner Project works to redress the past and continuing harms of these inhumane and ineffective laws and policies.

About AATD and INBRX-101
Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency ("AATD") is an under-diagnosed genetic disease affecting an estimated 100,000 patients in the US. It is characterized by insufficient levels of AAT causing emphysema, loss of lung function, and decreased life expectancy. Based on biochemical efficacy, plasma-derived AAT ("pdAAT") therapy was approved in the 1980s and is administered weekly to maintain serum AAT concentrations above 11 µM, which is below the normal range. Since then, little progress has been made with new treatment modalities and cost/supply of pdAAT remains a challenge.
The INBRX-101 study is an open-label, international Phase 1 trial designed to assess safety, pharmacokinetics ("PK"), pharmacodynamics ("PD"), and immunogenicity (NCT03815396). AATD patients were administered single or multiple doses (three consecutive doses every three weeks) of 10, 40, 80 or 120 mg/kg INBRX-101 via IV infusion.
As of November 2021, 24 AATD patients have been administered INBRX-101 at doses of 10 mg/kg (n=6), 40 mg/kg (n=6), 80 mg/kg (n=6) and 120 mg/kg (n=6). INBRX-101 has been well tolerated without serious adverse reactions, dose-limiting toxicities, or severe treatment emergent adverse events. The most common drug related adverse events reported were fatigue (n=5), pruritus (n=5), blood pressure increased (n=5), urticaria (n=4), and infusion related reactions (n=2). Infusion related reactions (e.g., pruritus, blood pressure increased, urticaria, infusion related reactions) were transient, mostly mild (Grade 1 per CTCAEv5.0) except for one moderate event (Grade 2) and responded well to symptomatic therapy.
Serum antigenic PK and functional AAT levels were assessed in 21 AATD patients. Dose-related increases in maximal and total INBRX-101 exposure were observed across the dose range of 10 to 120 mg/kg. A terminal half-life of approximately 15 - 19 days was observed. Preliminary data from multiple doses of 40 mg/kg or 80 mg/kg every three weeks showed accumulation in line with the prolonged half-life. Observed trough levels of functional AAT exceeded those reported historically for pdAAT.

NEW YORK, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces the filing of a class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers of the securities of Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID) between November 15, 2021, and February 28, 2022, inclusive (the "Class Period"). 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 31, 2022.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Lucid 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 Lucid class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=4992 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 31, 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. 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 material adverse facts about the Company's business and operations. Specifically, Defendants overstated Lucid's production capabilities while concealing that "extraordinary supply chain and logistics challenges" were already significantly hampering the Company's operations.
To join the Lucid class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=4992 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.

OSLO, Norway, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lytix Biopharma AS (Lytix), a clinical-stage company with an in situ vaccination technology platform targeting cancer indications, notes that the first patient has been dosed in Verrica Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s Phase II study evaluating LTX-315 for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma (skin cancer). This triggers a USD 1 million milestone payment to Lytix in accordance with the licensing agreement between the parties.
Verrica Pharmaceuticals Inc ("Verrica") has an exclusive worldwide license agreement with Lytix to develop and commercialize LTX-315 for dermatologic oncology conditions.
"We are delighted to see Verrica doses the first patient in its Phase II trial evaluating LTX-315 as a non-surgical treatment option for patients with basal cell carcinoma. Non-melanoma skin cancers, including basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas, are the most common form of cancer in the U.S., with over 5 million diagnoses each year, and there is a high unmet need for new treatments. We look forward to following the development of our novel oncolytic molecule as a potential new treatment for non-melanoma skin cancer," said Øystein Rekdal, CEO of Lytix Biopharma.
LTX-315 is a first-in-class oncolytic molecule representing a new and superior in situ therapeutic vaccination principle, and in August 2020, Lytix licensed LTX-315 to Verrica for the treatment of dermatologic oncology indications.
Under the terms of the agreement, Lytix is entitled to receive an upfront payment, contingent regulatory milestones based on achievement of specified development goals, and sales milestones, with aggregate payments of up to USD 111 million, including the mentioned milestone. In addition, Lytix is entitled to receive tiered royalties based on worldwide annual sales. There are approximately 3-4 million patients diagnosed with basal cell carcinomas in the U.S. each year, with a high unmet need for new treatment options.

About Lytix Biopharma AS
Based in Oslo, Norway, Lytix Biopharma is a clinical-stage biotech company developing novel cancer immunotherapies, an area within cancer therapy that is aimed at activating the patient's immune system to fight cancer. The Company's technology is based on pioneering research in "host defense peptides" – nature's first line of defense towards foreign pathogens. Lytix Biopharma's lead product, LTX-315, is a first-in-class oncolytic molecule representing a new and superior in situ therapeutic vaccination principle to boost anti-cancer immunity, with the potential to be the ideal combination partner with other types of immunotherapies. LTX-315 target cancer cells and disintegrate their cell membranes, causing immunogenic cell death and release of a patient's tumor specific antigens. This mode of action allows cytotoxic T cells to recognize, infiltrate, and attack cancer cells. The Company was listed on Euronext Growth in Oslo in June 2021, following a private placement covered by investors such as PBM Capital, a U.S. based, healthcare-focused investment firm. For more information, visit www.lytixbiopharma.com.
About LTX-315
LTX-315 is a potential first-in-class oncolytic molecule administered directly into a tumor to induce immunogenic cell death, which may offer a non-surgical option for patients suffering from skin cancer. The technology is based on pioneering research in "host defense peptides" – nature's first line of defense towards foreign pathogens. LTX-315 has demonstrated positive tumor-specific immune cell responses in multi-indication Phase I/II oncology trials.
About in situ vaccination
In situ vaccination stimulates a patient's immune system by injecting drugs with the ability to kill cancer cells straight into the tumor environment. Lytix Biopharma has applied this approach with its first-in-class oncolytic molecules, representing an alternative and unique approach to cancer vaccination. Importantly, this approach generates an immune response against a broad antigen repertoire without pre-identifying the antigens, which in turn can save considerable costs and valuable time.

- Record breaking 135,500 engagements in 2021, up 14% year-over-year
- Strong progress made in new health plan business development strategy
- Launching expanded partnership focused on employee mental health with one of the world's largest apparel brands this June
- Anticipates Q1 2022 and full year 2022 revenue growth year-over-year
- Q4 and FY 2021 conference call scheduled for April 5, 2022 at 5 PM ET
TORONTO, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Newtopia Inc. ("Newtopia" or the "Company") (TSXV: NEWU) (OTCQB: NEWUF), a tech-enabled habit change provider focused on preventing, slowing and reversing chronic disease, today announced its fourth quarter and fiscal 2021 financial results, operational highlights and filing of its annual financial statements. These results pertain to the three months and year ended December 31, 2021 and are expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights (vs. Q4 2020):
- Revenue of $2.4 million, as compared to $2.5 million.
- Gross profit margin1 of 52%, as compared to 51%.
Full Year 2021 Financial Highlights (vs. 2020):
- Revenue of $10.5 million, as compared to $11.4 million.
- Gross profit margin1 of 49%, up from the prior year of 48%.
"With the holiday season and the distraction of open enrollment for new benefits in the following year taking place for U.S. employers, the fourth quarter of the year is traditionally a slower period for new enrollments and engagements for Newtopia," said Jeff Ruby, Founder and CEO of Newtopia. "That headwind, along with the surge in the Omicron variant towards year end, impacted our fourth quarter revenue. While our 2021 results did not live up to our historical performance nor our long-term goals, we are experiencing strong momentum to date in 2022 and believe that our business has officially turned a corner. Helping to fuel this go-forward growth is our record-breaking participant engagement which reached 135,500 participants for full year 2021, up 14% over the prior year. In fact, in 2021, we delivered our best engagement and retention rates for existing participants in our Company's history driven by reductions in churn and by higher usage rates on our platform. As employers and health plans reflect on the challenge of reducing massive chronic disease risk and retaining their members, engagement and proven outcomes are key decision drivers where Newtopia shines."
Mr. Ruby continued, "With a strong participant base and active pipeline of business, we are confident that Newtopia is firmly on a year-over-year revenue growth trajectory for both the first quarter as well as for the full year 2022. We are seeing increased optimism from clients earlier in the sales cycle compared to the past two years, providing us with a strong pipeline of activity with self-insured employers and health plans. The mid-2021 surge experienced with a Fortune 50 health services client, along with the anticipated launch of several proofs of concept in new customer categories in the coming weeks, will also positively impact our financials this year, setting us up for an even stronger performance in 2023."
Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $2.4 million, as compared to $2.5 million in the prior-year period. The decline in revenue was largely the result of COVID-19 headwinds along with corresponding softer participant engagement and onboarding in the fourth quarter. Enrollment fee revenue totaled $2.3 million for the fourth quarter, up from $2.2 million in the prior-year period.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter 2021 totaled $1.2 million, as compared to $1.3 million in the prior-year period. Gross profit is comprised of Newtopia's revenue less direct expenses, which include the cost of Welcome Kits sold to new participants as well as labor costs associated with hiring and training of the Company's coaching team of Inspirators. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit totaled 52%, compared to 51% in the prior-year period.
Adjusted operating expenses2 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 totaled $2.6 million, compared to $3.8 million in the prior-year period. Management made concerted efforts during 2021 to right-size operating expenses due to the challenging pandemic growth. The decline in adjusted operating expenses results from a decrease in headcount and compensation costs tied to this right-sizing effort.
For the quarter, the Company had an adjusted operating loss3 of $1.4 million, compared to an adjusted operating loss of $2.6 million in the prior-year period.
The Company ended the fourth quarter 2021 with $0.8 million in cash and an outstanding loan balance of $2.3 million against its $7.5 million credit facility.
Full Year 2021 Financial Results
Revenue for the full year ended December 31, 2021 was $10.5 million, as compared to $11.4 million in the prior year. Similar to the fourth quarter, full year 2021 revenue was impacted by COVID-19. In addition, 2020 revenue was bolstered by an incentivized program launched in January 2020 by one of the Company's Fortune 500 financial services clients which was not repeated in 2021. Despite the decline in revenue, participant engagements did reach a record for the full year at 135,500, an increase of 14% year-over-year. Enrollment fee revenue totaled $1.5 million for 2021, a decrease of over 12% year-over-year.
Gross profit for the year totaled $5.1 million, as compared to $5.5 million in the prior year. Gross profit is comprised of Newtopia's revenue less direct expenses, which include the cost of Welcome Kits sold to new participants as well as labor costs associated with hiring and training of the Company's coaching team of Inspirators. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit totaled 49%, up from the prior year of 48%.
Adjusted operating expenses2 for year totaled $11.0 million, as compared to $11.3 million in the prior year due to reductions in the Company's compensation costs.
For the full year ended December 31, 2021, the Company had an adjusted operating loss3 of $5.9 million, compared to an adjusted operating loss of $5.8 million in the prior year.
2022 Outlook
Following a challenging 2021, Newtopia's business is trending positively in 2022 as the Company begins to see the benefits of growth with existing employer clients as well as the prospects of the launch of proofs of concept with new health plan clients through its expanded business development strategy. As a result, the Company anticipates achieving year-over-year and sequential revenue growth in the first quarter 2022 along with full year, year-over-year revenue growth for 2022.
In terms of capital expenditures, the Company expects approximately $0.5 million in capex for 2022. Of note, these expenditures will be capitalized over their lifetime. A significant portion of this capital expenditure will be directly related to the launch of a new version of the Newtopia platform on the Company's own architecture in the second half of this year. Once the migration to this new platform is complete, an annual licensing cost associated with the existing CRM platform of approximately $450,000 per year will be eliminated. Newtopia also anticipates that the Company will see improved gross profit margins over time after the launch of its new platform. Newtopia takes a measured approach to adding expenses in support of growth, and, as such, with the anticipated top line growth, the Company continues to strive to be cash flow positive from operations as it exits 2022.
Grants of Stock Options

TUSCALOOSA, Ala., April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NHS Management, LLC ("NHS") is providing notice of an event that may affect the security of certain information. NHS provides consulting services to nursing and physical rehabilitation facilities located in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, and Missouri. On May 16, 2021, NHS discovered that it was the victim of a sophisticated cyberattack. NHS immediately took steps to stop the attack and mitigate the harm. NHS launched an investigation with the assistance of a third-party forensic team to confirm the full nature and scope of the incident and restore functionality to impacted systems. Through the investigation, NHS determined that an unauthorized actor accessed certain NHS systems and information stored therein between February 25, 2021 and May 16, 2021. Although NHS has no evidence of any identity theft or fraud in connection with this incident, the documents on these systems that were determined to have been accessed or potentially accessible were reviewed by a third-party data review team to determine what, if any, personal information was contained within them. On February 4, 2022, this extensive review identified certain personal information was present within the affected documents. NHS then undertook efforts to confirm the identities of the individuals whose information was present in the documents and began providing notice once they located the contact information to do so.
To be clear, NHS has uncovered no evidence that any employee or patient information was misused. Nevertheless, out of an abundance of caution, NHS is working to provide notice to its employees, nursing home residents and patients, and any other individuals whose personal information was contained within the affected systems and involved in the incident. As a precautionary measure, NHS is providing notice to potentially affected individuals for whom they have valid mailing addresses, so that these individuals may take further steps to best protect personal information, should they feel it is appropriate to do so. NHS also notified the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services' Office for Civil Rights and federal law enforcement.
The information that may have been impacted by this incident could have included one or more of the following: an individuals' name; address and other contact information; medical history; treatment or diagnosis information; health information; health insurance information; Social Security number, date of birth, and/or driver's license number. However, not every data element would have been impacted for every individual, and there is no evidence of unauthorized access to the database that contains electronic medical records.
NHS takes this incident and the security of personal information in their care very seriously. Upon learning of this incident, NHS moved quickly to investigate, to secure the relevant NHS systems, and begin notifying potentially affected individuals. As part of their ongoing commitment to the security of information, NHS is also reviewing and enhancing existing policies and procedures to reduce the likelihood of a similar future event. NHS encourages potentially impacted individuals to remain vigilant against incidents of identity theft and fraud, to review account statements, explanation of benefits, and credit reports for suspicious activity and to detect errors over the next 12 to 24 months. Under U.S. law individuals are entitled to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit reporting bureaus. To order a free credit report, visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call, toll-free, 1-877-322-8228. Individuals may also contact the three major credit bureaus directly to request a free copy of their credit report, place a fraud alert, or a security freeze. Contact information for the credit bureaus is below.
Consumers have the right to place an initial or extended "fraud alert" on a credit file at no cost. An initial fraud alert is a one-year alert that is placed on a consumer's credit file. Upon seeing a fraud alert display on a consumer's credit file, a business is required to take steps to verify the consumer's identity before extending new credit. If you are a victim of identity theft, you are entitled to an extended fraud alert, which is a fraud alert lasting seven years. Should you wish to place a fraud alert, please contact any one of the three major credit reporting bureaus listed below.
As an alternative to a fraud alert, consumers have the right to place a "credit freeze" on a credit report, which will prohibit a credit bureau from releasing information in the credit report without the consumer's express authorization. The credit freeze is designed to prevent credit, loans, and services from being approved in your name without your consent. However, you should be aware that using a credit freeze to take control over who gets access to the personal and financial information in your credit report may delay, interfere with, or prohibit the timely approval of any subsequent request or application you make regarding a new loan, credit, mortgage, or any other account involving the extension of credit. Pursuant to federal law, you cannot be charged to place or lift a credit freeze on your credit report. To request a security freeze, you will need to provide the following information:
1. Full name (including middle initial as well as Jr., Sr., II, III, etc.);
2. Social Security number;
3. Date of birth;
4. Addresses for the prior two to five years;
5. Proof of current address, such as a current utility bill or telephone bill;
6. A legible photocopy of a government-issued identification card (state driver's license or ID card, military identification, etc.); and
7. A copy of either the police report, investigative report, or complaint to a law enforcement agency concerning identity theft if you are a victim of identity theft.
Should you wish to place a fraud alert or credit freeze, please contact the three major credit reporting bureaus listed below:
Equifax, P.O. Box 105069, Atlanta, GA, 30348, 1-800-685-1111, www.equifax.com; Experian, P.O. Box 2002, Allen, TX 75013, 888-397-3742, www.experian.com; TransUnion, P.O. Box 2000, Chester, PA 19016, 800-680-7289, www.transunion.com. Potentially impacted individuals may also find information regarding identity theft, fraud alerts, security freezes and the steps they may take to protect their information by contacting the credit bureaus, the Federal Trade Commission or their state Attorney General. The Federal Trade Commission can be reached at: 600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20580; www.identitytheft.gov; 1-877-ID-THEFT (1-877-438-4338); and TTY: 1-866-653-4261. Instances of known or suspected identity theft should also be reported to law enforcement or the individual's state Attorney General.
For more information you may write to NHS at 931 Fairfax Park, Tuscaloosa, AL 35406.

– Acquires Four Properties for $83 Million within Prime Infill Southern California Submarkets –
- First Quarter Investments Total $458 Million -
LOS ANGELES, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. (the "Company" or "Rexford Industrial") (NYSE: REXR), a real estate investment trust focused on creating value by investing in and operating industrial properties located throughout infill Southern California, today announced the acquisition of four industrial properties for an aggregate purchase price of $82.7 million. The purchases were funded using a combination of cash on hand, operating partnership units, proceeds from forward equity settlements and the Company's line of credit.
"In the first quarter, Rexford Industrial completed $458 million of investments, of which over 85% were acquired through off-market or lightly marketed transactions," stated Howard Schwimmer and Michael Frankel, Co-Chief Executive Officers of the Company. "This strong transaction activity demonstrates Rexford Industrial's ability to generate substantially above-market return on investment by leveraging our deep local knowledge and proprietary access to infill Southern California, the nation's largest and most sought-after industrial property market. With over $500 million of additional investments under contract or accepted offer, and with significant embedded cash flow growth within our in-place portfolio, we are well positioned to drive superior shareholder value creation through both internal and external growth."
In March, through off-market transactions, the Company acquired:
- 700-806 W. 14th Street and 701-733 W. Anaheim Street, Long Beach, located within the LA – South Bay submarket for $24.0 million, or $115 per land square foot. The 123,532 square foot, 4.8-acre multi-tenant industrial business park is strategically located with immediate access to the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and leased at rents estimated to be 25% below current market rates. The investment's initial 4.1% unlevered cash yield is expected to grow to a 5.3% stabilized unlevered cash yield on total investment. The purchase was completed using $12.0 million of cash and 164,998 3.0% cumulative Convertible Preferred Operating Partnership units that are redeemable by the seller on a one-to-one basis for shares of the Company's publicly traded common stock.

NEW YORK, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, continues to investigate potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Seer, Inc. (NASDAQ: SEER) resulting from allegations that Seer may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Seer securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law Firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the prospective class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=2691 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.
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On November 4, 2021, market analyst the Bear Cave published a report entitled "Problems at Seer Inc (SEER)" which stated that Seer appears to have misled investors about its recent Chinese distribution partnership, customer base, and management's past track record.
On this news, Seer's stock price fell $1.85 per share, or over 5%, to close at $35.00 on November 4, 2021, damaging investors.
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 litigate securities class actions. 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.

NEW YORK, April 5, 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) (NASDAQ: 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 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, continues its investigation of potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: TCBI) resulting from allegations that Texas Capital may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Texas Capital securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the prospective class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=2747 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.
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On March, 29, 2021, shares of Texas Capital stock dropped 13% on unusually heavy trading volume as prime brokers associated with now-defunct family office, Archegos Capital Management, unwound large U.S. stock positions linked to the fund.
A Bloomberg article published on November 16, 2021 detailed how Archegos built up a previously undisclosed position equal to 20% of Texas Capital prior to the margin calls that forced Archegos' liquidation. According to the article, Texas Capital was aware of the large position held by Archegos while it raised additional capital from investors in February 2021.
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 litigate securities class actions.

Further the report alleges that "Agrify insiders lied to investors about the independence of its customer base in order to execute a dubious stock promotion for self-enrichment at the expense of minority shareholders[,]" and that "[e]vidence showed that five (5) of Agrify's eight (8) customer announcements in 2021 are either with undisclosed Company insiders or with unlicensed unproven operators." On this news, the price of Agrify's common stock fell $2.24 per share, or 17.8%, on December 16, 2021.

ST. LOUIS, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Saint Louis University Chess Team has become the No. 1 collegiate program in the country, winning the 2022 President's Cup – the Final Four of College Chess – held April 2-3 at Texas Tech University.
Co-hosted by the United States Chess Federation (USCF), the President's Cup is an annual invitational team championship open to the top four U.S. schools from the most recent Pan-American Intercollegiate Team Chess Championship. SLU won the Pan American championship with a perfect score in January.
Saint Louis University's chess program also has scored major victories at the 2021 International Chess Federation (FIDE) World University Online Chess Championships, the 2020 U.S. Collegiate Rapid and Blitz Championship and the 2019 Midwest Collegiate Championship, among others.
"We have won every event we can participate in," said SLU Chess Team Coach Alejandro Ramirez. "The National Champion feather was the last one we were missing on our cap. Now SLU is undoubtedly the No. 1 chess university in the country."
SLU's winning team at the 2022 President's Cup was comprised of six grandmasters: Dariusz Swiercz, Nikolas Theodorou, Benjamin Bok, Robby Kevlishvili, Akshat Chandra and Cemil Can Ali Marandi.
SLU's chess program currently has 14 members. Coach Ramirez became a chess grandmaster at the age of 15 and gained international recognition playing in multiple Olympiads and World Championships.
The Saint Louis University Chess Team was established in fall 2016 as a partnership between SLU and the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis, with support from SLU alumnus, University trustee and chess enthusiast Rex Sinquefield.
The team is not just a club activity but rather a strategic effort by administrators and alumni to recruit promising players and build on the University's reputation for academic excellence. SLU recruits undergraduate and graduate students through donor-sponsored competitive chess scholarships, which can include tuition, room and board, and fees.
The chess team is headquartered in a recently remodeled space on campus that allows members open access to analyze the game using two powerful computers. The chess facility also has four DGT electronic chess boards that enable team members to input plays as they study them.
For more information on chess scholarships and the chess program at SLU, visit slu.edu/life-at-slu/chess-team.

North American Industry Leader to Open 23,000 Square Foot Office in October
ATLANTA, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Southwire, one of North America's leading wire and cable producers and an emerging influence in the electrical industry, will soon open office space at The Battery Atlanta in Cobb County adjacent to Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves. In late March, Southwire signed a deal for roughly 23,000 square feet of offices, meeting rooms, workstations and multipurpose space.
"We have embraced adaptability through the pandemic, and we have proven that we are able to successfully meet the expectations of our stakeholders in a hybrid work environment," said Rich Stinson, Southwire's president and CEO. "Having a presence at The Battery Atlanta offers additional flexibility to our team members and further demonstrates that Southwire is an employer of choice."
Headquartered in Carrollton, Ga., Southwire has had a presence in metro Atlanta for several years with a Southwire Commuter Hub in Cobb County and The Spark innovation center on Georgia Tech's campus, among other locations. Recently, the building in which the company's Commuter Hub is located was sold, and leaders sought other options to meet the needs of its workforce. Having a presence in metro Atlanta gives the company a competitive edge for recruitment and retention.
"As we have emerged from the pandemic and as we considered next steps with our Commuter Hub, the timing was right to move toward a larger presence in this area," said Fernando Esquivel, executive vice president of People and Culture. "Our office at The Battery Atlanta will provide us with increased visibility and opportunities to attract professional talent while allowing us to further connect, communicate, collaborate and celebrate with each other."
While expanding its presence in metro Atlanta gives the company a competitive edge for talent recruitment and retention, Southwire remains committed to each of its existing communities, and the company continues to drive the electrical industry forward.
"We have a long history of serving our customers with excellence and giving back to the local communities in which we work and live," said Norman Adkins, Southwire's president of Wire & Cable and COO. "Our presence in Atlanta has been — and will continue to be — no different. As we consider more than just the office space, we are also excited to forge a partnership with the Atlanta Braves that will add value to our employees, our customers and our communities."
Throughout its more than seven decades in business, Southwire has upheld a strong commitment to service, quality and innovation. The new office space and partnership with the Atlanta Braves serve as a culmination of these three objectives.
"Southwire celebrates 72 years as a company in 2022, and one of our late founder's frequently-shared phrases was about putting technology to work," said Brandon Moss, president of Tools, Components and Assembled Solutions. "This new office space will do just that — giving existing and new employees more opportunities to connect in the metro Atlanta area while at the same time supporting many of the tenets that define our commitment to growth and sustainability."
As the company finalizes plans for its office at The Battery Atlanta, Southwire has announced an agreement with the Atlanta Braves in which Southwire will now be a proud electrical products manufacturing partner of the Atlanta Braves. The partnership will also focus on strengthening both organizations' efforts to give back to the community, as Southwire connects with the Braves' established community and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts through sponsorship and volunteerism through at least two events this year.
"We are thrilled that Southwire will be joining the premier office-line up at The Battery Atlanta. Employees here have an incomparable array of amenities just outside their doors, and the World Series Champion Atlanta Braves as a neighbor," said Jeremy Strife, executive vice president of Braves Development Company. "We look forward to our larger partnership, including events and charitable programs that showcase how our core values align."

FRANKFURT, Germany, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sovereign borrowing will reach $10.4 trillion in 2022, nearly one-third above the average before the COVID-19 pandemic, says S&P Global Ratings today in its latest global borrowing report published today on RatingsDirect: ("Sovereign Debt 2022: Borrowing Will Stay High On Pandemic And Geopolitical Tensions").
For an interactive version of our global and regional borrowing forecasts see; "Global Sovereign Borrowing Outlook 2022".
"We expect borrowing to stay elevated, owing to high debt-rollover needs, as well as fiscal policy normalization challenges posed by the pandemic, high inflation, and polarized social and political landscapes," said S&P Global Ratings credit analyst Karen Vartapetov.
The global macroeconomic repercussions of the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine will put further upward pressure on government funding needs this year.
Tightening monetary conditions will push up government funding costs. This will pose additional difficulties to sovereigns that have been unable to restart growth, reduce reliance on foreign currency financing, and where interest bills are already critically high.
For advanced economies, borrowing costs this year, while on the rise, will likely remain below the effective interest rate on the existing debt stock, giving time to consolidate budgets and focus on pro-growth reforms.
Other key findings from our projections of 2022 borrowing from commercial sources by the 137 sovereigns we rate:
- The commercial sovereign debt stock will reach a record of $66.5 trillion by year-end, with the U.S. and Japan accounting for over one-half of it.
- The G-7 group of nations will continue to contribute 70% of the total commercial debt stock of all rated sovereigns.
- Investment-grade (rated 'BBB-' and above) sovereign borrowing will account for the majority of total issuance.

Fireside chat will be held on Tuesday, April 12, 2022, from 8:00 a.m. to 8:40 a.m. EDT
NEW HAVEN, Conn., April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Trevi Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRVI) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing an investigational oral therapy Haduvio™ (nalbuphine ER) for pruritus in prurigo nodularis (PN) and chronic cough in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Today, Trevi announced that Jennifer Good, President and Chief Executive Officer, along with Dr. Bill Forbes, Chief Development Officer, will participate in a fireside chat at the 21st Annual Needham Virtual Healthcare Conference on Tuesday, April 12, 2022, at 8:00 a.m. ET.
A live webcast of the fireside chat will be accessible from the 'Investors & News' section on the Company's website at www.TreviTherapeutics.com. An archived replay of the webcast will also be available for 30 days on the Company's website following the event.
Interim analysis results from the Phase 2 Cough And NALbuphine (CANAL) trial were statistically significant on the primary efficacy endpoint with a 77% reduction in daytime cough frequency from study baseline for Haduvio, demonstrating a 52% placebo-adjusted reduction in the geometric mean percent change (p<0.0001) (N=26). The secondary endpoints supported the benefit seen in the primary endpoint. Based on the strength and consistency of the efficacy data, Trevi stopped recruitment and expects top-line data for the full set of subjects in the third quarter of 2022. This interim analysis was specifically to assess efficacy. There have been no reported deaths in the CANAL trial and 1 reported Serious Adverse Event (pneumonia) which was not considered treatment related. The CANAL trial is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, 2-treatment, 2-period crossover efficacy and safety study of nalbuphine ER for chronic cough in patients with IPF taking place in the United Kingdom. The study consists of 2 treatment periods of 3 weeks, with a washout period of 2 weeks after each treatment period. The primary efficacy endpoint is to evaluate the effect of nalbuphine ER tablets on the mean daytime cough frequency at day 22 compared to placebo as measured by an objective cough monitor. More information about the CANAL trial is available at www.clinicaltrials.gov: NCT04030026
The Phase 2b/3 Pruritus Relief through Itch Scratch Modulation (PRISM) trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Haduvio for severe pruritus in patients with PN. In the trial, subjects are randomized equally across two treatment groups (oral Haduvio 162 mg or placebo, twice daily including an initial 2-week blinded titration period). The primary endpoint of the trial is the proportion of subjects achieving a greater than or equal to 4-point improvement in the weekly mean Worst Itch Numerical Rating Scale (WI-NRS) score at Week 14 compared to baseline. The planned enrollment for the trial was approximately 360 subjects. Top-line data is expected in the second quarter of 2022. More information about the PRISM trial is available at www.clinicaltrials.gov: NCT03497975
Trevi Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of the investigational therapy Haduvio to treat serious neurologically mediated conditions. Trevi is conducting a Phase 2b/3 clinical trial of Haduvio for the treatment of chronic pruritus associated with prurigo nodularis (PN) and a Phase 2 trial for chronic cough in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). These conditions share a common pathophysiology that is mediated through opioid receptors in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Founded in 2011, Trevi Therapeutics is headquartered in New Haven, CT.
Haduvio, an investigational therapy, is an oral extended-release (ER) formulation of nalbuphine. Nalbuphine is a mixed ĸ-opioid receptor agonist and µ-opioid receptor antagonist that has been approved and marketed as an injectable for pain indications for more than 20 years in the United States and Europe. The ĸ- and µ-opioid receptors are known to be critical mediators of itch, cough and certain movement disorders. Nalbuphine's mechanism of action may also mitigate the risk of abuse associated with µ-opioid agonists because it antagonizes, or blocks, µ-opioid receptors. Parenteral nalbuphine is not currently classified as a controlled substance by the DEA in the United States or by regulatory authorities in most of Europe. Trevi intends to propose Haduvio as the trade name for nalbuphine ER. Nalbuphine ER (Haduvio) is an investigational therapy that has been granted Fast Track designation by the FDA for the proposed indication of reduction of moderate to severe pruritus in patients with prurigo nodularis. Its safety and efficacy have not been evaluated by any regulatory authority.

The Future of STEM Scholars Initiative (FOSSI) provides $40,000 scholarships to graduating high school students planning to major in relevant STEM fields at Historically Black Colleges & Universities
DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Univar Solutions Inc. (NYSE: UNVR) ("Univar Solutions" or "the Company"), a global chemical and ingredient distributor and provider of value-added services, today announced its engagement in the Future of STEM Scholars Initiative (FOSSI), the chemical industry's collaborative equity, diversity, and inclusion initiative aimed at creating pathways for more underrepresented groups to enter and succeed in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) careers in the chemical industry.
FOSSI is a national scholarship program which provides incoming college freshman $40,000 scholarships and connects them to leadership development, mentoring and internship opportunities at sponsoring companies. FOSSI creates lasting and meaningful relationships between students and sponsors, helping to create a diverse pipeline of future workforce talent. FOSSI has an ambitious goal of supporting 1000 scholars through 2025, at an investment of nearly $50 million dollars.
"FOSSI brings together the industry's collective might to make a significant impact on the future of the chemical industry. We are thrilled to have support from Univar Solutions in this important initiative and look forward to working with their team to create opportunities and pathways for success for these deserving scholars," said Chris Jahn, president & chief executive officer of the American Chemistry Council.
For the class of 2022, Univar Solutions will support a scholar for the full year as well as pledge program support for future years, joining a growing list of organizations who together have raised more than $16 million dollars to support 331 students in future years. Organizations, parents and students interested in learning more about FOSSI sponsorship, application criteria and program initiatives should visit FutureofSTEMScholars.org.
"As a place where people matter, Univar Solutions believes that everyone deserves the chance to make a difference and I couldn't be more pleased to offer our support toward the future leaders of our industry," said David Jukes, president & chief executive officer of Univar Solutions. "FOSSI is a tremendous program that will enable our society to thrive for generations to come as it's our people that make the difference and our purpose that drives us to help keep our communities healthy, fed, clean and safe."
About the Future of STEM Scholars Initiative
Recognizing a lack of diversity throughout the STEM workforce, in November of 2020, the American Chemistry Council (ACC), American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), Chemours and HBCU Week Foundation partnered to establish the Future of STEM Scholars Initiative (FOSSI). This national industry-wide program seeks to increase the number of underrepresented professionals in the STEM workforce by providing scholarships to students pursuing preferred STEM degrees at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). FOSSI is dedicated to supporting those STEM Scholars who would otherwise not have access to a STEM education by eliminating financial barriers. Sponsored by chemical manufacturers and related industry stakeholders, FOSSI provides scholarship recipients $10,000 per year for four years and connects these students to leadership development, mentoring and internship opportunities at participating companies.

KELOWNA, BC, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - The Valens Company Inc. (TSX: VLNS) (Nasdaq: VLNS) (the "Company" "The Valens Company" or "Valens"), a leading manufacturer of cannabis products, today released the following letter to shareholders from the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Tyler Robson, and President, Jeff Fallows outlining the rationale for the recent financing. The letter also provides an update on the first wave of integration initiatives announced in early February and introduces a second wave of initiatives which are aimed at delivering additional operational and organizational efficiencies in the coming quarters as the Company continues on its path to profitability.
Dear Shareholders:
As you have seen, we launched and closed a bought deal financing for gross proceeds of US$28.75 million (the "Financing"), which included the exercise in full of the underwriters' overallotment option, through a syndicate of underwriters led by Stifel GMP and AGP. The decision to pursue this Financing was not taken lightly. As shareholders ourselves, and stewards for capital invested by other shareholders, any issuance of equity capital is approached with caution and must only occur based on a compelling rationale and a belief that the issuance will improve the potential for us to increase shareholder value in the future. We wanted to take this opportunity to provide this rationale and clearly articulate why we believe this action was in the best interest of our shareholders. The Canadian cannabis legal reforms have provided a once-in-a-lifetime social and financial opportunity to build a new consumer products industry but the challenges currently facing the sector are real. Companies with innovative products and the financial flexibility to execute against their strategic focus are best positioned to survive these challenges and be the leaders of the industry who will benefit in future years to come. The rationale for the Financing includes the following:
- Managing Working Capital and Cash Cycles: As demonstrated by our Q4 2021 performance, we have successfully transitioned into a branded B2C company, with almost 75% of our revenue coming from this category. We have seen very strong success in growing market share in Canadian provincial sales as demonstrated by the growth of our flower brands including Versus, Contraband, and Citizen Stash. As of March 2022, we have the #1 best-selling flower SKU, in BC God Bud, across all product categories in the first three months of 2022, despite not cultivating cannabis flower ourselves. As discussed on numerous occasions, we do not believe that owning cultivation assets in an oversupplied environment is an effective strategy. However, our asset light strategy has required a higher working capital investment over the last few quarters to cover the cash cycles needed to purchase targeted strains on the spot market. More specifically, we have had to purchase biomass for cash up front and have typically experienced a minimum 90-day cash conversion cycle to provincial revenue. In addition, we have also increased our investment into inventory to reduce stockouts for our core brands which continue to experience rapid growth. As we have launched new brands and new products it has caused, and is expected to continue to cause, some near-term volatility in inventory balances. However, we expect investment in inventory to stabilize by Q4 2022, as consumer demand and purchase orders of our products achieve a more normalized level of sell-through and lead to tighter inventory management. In addition, we are in the process of executing new contract grow arrangements and tightening our accounts payable and accounts receivable cycles to optimize cash management for the business. However, at this time further capital was required to ensure we meet growing demand.
- Financial Flexibility: The 'Integration Initiatives' and decisions we have made over the last 90-days are expected to positively impact our cost structure in the second half of the year. At the same time, ongoing inflationary cost pressures, a volatile supply chain, and heightened geopolitical risk are not expected to ease in the near term. Faced with this reality, we took steps necessary to strengthen our balance sheet and provide additional financial support to our business until the benefits of our 'Integration Initiatives' are realized, and our operating environment normalizes. As we continue to broaden institutional and public reach initiatives, we are pleased to inform our shareholders that the Financing was led by a CPG-focused US institutional investor and included both Canadian and US institutions.
- Growth Initiatives: We are evaluating two strategic areas for potential investment in 2022:
The Financing provides greater certainty in our ability to execute on the key performance metrics that we have identified for our business in 2022. We expect revenue growth and profitability improvement to be key themes in 2022 and we reiterate Valens KPIs as follows:
Key Performance Indicators for 2022:
- Grow adult recreational market share in Canada by becoming a top 5 Player in vapes, edibles and beverages and a top 10 player in flower products.
- Unleash our potential in the U.S. and international markets through the Green Roads platform which was acquired in April 2021.
- Achieve positive adjusted EBITDA by Q4 by improving the gross margin and SG&A profile of the business through our 'Integration Initiatives' which are based on a combination of cost efficiencies, realization of M&A synergies and greater levels of automation and process standardization.
- Reduce cash burn through improvements in adjusted EBITDA, working capital management and monetization of non-core assets.
- Development of the Company's U.S. THC strategy as permissible under federal regulations.
We want our shareholders to know that the Board of Directors (the "Board") is committed to delivering on its core principles of shareholder alignment and accountability as we continue to execute on our business strategy outlined in our Investor Day. At Valens, the Board and senior management remain unwavering in our commitment to delivering lasting value for our shareholders and are proud to say we had insider participation in the Financing. Many members of the Board and senior management are shareholders and have also been materially impacted by the fall in share price alongside all shareholders. We want to reiterate that over the last 12 months there have been significant purchases of shares by the Board and senior management, and over this period we have not sold a single share.
In conjunction with our 'Integration Initiatives', we have shifted all production of Citizen Stash products to our highly automated Kelowna facilities to centralize manufacturing and optimize margins. As a result, we made the difficult decision to shut down Citizen Stash's facility in Mission, British Columbia. We would like to thank all Citizen Stash stakeholders that have built one of the best brands in the cannabis space and assure them that the opportunities for the Citizen Stash brand continue to expand under this new, lower-cost manufacturing structure. We have also decreased the cost of supply by transitioning to new contract arrangements and optimizing the contract grow network. As part of this restructuring, Valens will see a one-time charge which will result in decreased operating expenses in future quarters. Additionally, we are in the process of monetizing the Citizen Stash's facility and other non-core assets. We expect to generate an additional $5 to $10 million in cash over the coming quarters which is incremental to the $20 million in annual cost efficiencies expect through 2022.
We have made great progress with approximately 80% of the $10 million in cost efficiencies announced in early February now actioned and the Company is in the process of realizing the initial benefits in Q2 financial results (after accounting for one-time costs), with the majority being expected to be realized in the back half of the fiscal year.
The Company is also pleased to announce it has started to execute plans against the next $10 million in targeted annualized costs efficiencies which are also expected to add a positive contribution to margins in the second half of 2022. The rationalization of the Citizen Stash operational footprint serves as the initial starting point and Valens will continue to provide further updates on the source and timing of further initiatives. For clarity, these annual cost savings are incremental to the initial $10 million in efficiencies that were announced in early February.
Sincerely,
Tyler Robson & Jeff Fallows

INDIANAPOLIS — A Gary man has been arrested, and two other men are wanted on arrest warrants in connection with a deadly shooting on I-465 in Indianapolis back in December.
At about 3:30 a.m. on December 13 of 2021, 28-year-old Miguel Emery was shot and killed while on I-465 North near 21st Street — just south of the Crawfordsville Road exit. Another man in Emery’s vehicle was injured and taken to the hospital with gunshot wounds.
Indiana State Police said detectives have been examining evidence and following leads since the incident. This week, the Marion County prosecutor issued arrest warrants for three people believed to be connected to the shooting: 26-year-old Jasinto Carter, 22-year-old Dawan Tyrone Glenn Jr. and 21-year-old Briean Brown Jr.
On Tuesday, state police arrested Carter in Gary. He is charged with murder and battery with a deadly weapon. Carter was taken to the Lake County Jail to be extradited to Marion County.
Glenn Jr. and Brown Jr. remain at large. Detectives believe both are in the Gary area, according to ISP, which added that both men are considered armed and dangerous.
Glenn Jr. is described as 5’8″ tall and weighs about 155 lbs.
Brown Jr. is described as 5’5″ tall, weighs about 135 lbs and has a tattoo that says “RISKY” on his left forearm.
Anyone with information on their whereabouts should call 911 or Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana anonymously at 317-262-8477. Crime Stoppers tips that lead to a felony arrest may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000.

INDIANAPOLIS — The United States Postal Service is offering a $50,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest of a person who robbed a mail carrier in Indianapolis.
The robbery happened Friday evening on S Reisner St. in the near Southwest side of Indy. The mail carrier was robbed at gunpoint. A USPS Postal Inspector said this is an ongoing investigation.
”We’re going to find them, this has to be stopped,” said Paul Toms, the National Association of Letter Carriers Branch 39 President.
Toms said he doesn’t know much about this robbery, but does know the carrier is okay.
Robert Ferguson lives on Reisner St., where the robbery happened, he was surprised to hear this happened so close to his home.
”I personally don’t feel unsafe being in my house, being out in my yard after dark, walking the street after dark,” Ferguson said.
Toms said this robbery is the latest in a recent string, he’s aware of four other postal carrier robberies going back the past few months.
“This is not a one off,” Toms said. “In the last four or five months or so there have been four other carriers in the Indianapolis area that have been robbed. What they want is the arrow keys, those are our keys that get into boxes, and they’ll open a lot of boxes.”
IMPD was not able to confirm these other robberies.
Toms said part of the issue is carriers working longer days because of staffing shortages.
”The postal service in Indianapolis should have 175 replacement carriers, we have about 20 maybe,” he said.
This means postal carriers working their normal routes and then picking up others. Toms said this means carriers pulling 12 hour days.
”You’re looking at 7, 8 o’clock deliveries regularly,” he said.
Toms said working later into the evening increases chances of danger for these postal carriers. The robbery Friday happened around 7:15 that night, late into the carriers day.
”That occurred in the 12th hour of that carrier’s day,” Toms said.
He said he’s seen violence against carriers rise during the pandemic, the robbery Friday happened just weeks before the two year anniversary of postal carrier Angela Summers being shot and killed along her route.
Toms described the murder as “devastating.” He said postal carriers are trained to put their well being first.
”That mail is not worth it, that vehicle isn’t worth it, protect your own life and safety,” Toms said.
The local U.S. Postal Inspector office was unable to comment because of the ongoing investigation. Postal Inspector Kathryn Woliung said letter carriers are trained to avoid situations that pose a risk.
“Letter carriers are trained to observe for suspicious and/or unsafe conditions and are encouraged to report these observations to their supervisors and the Inspection Service. Inspectors work closely with neighborhood crime prevention groups and other concerned citizens to keep an eye out for their letter carriers.”
If you have any information about the Friday robbery, USPS asks you call the U.S. Postal Inspection Service at 1-877-876-2455, say “Law Enforcement,” and reference Case No. 3702314 or call Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at (316) 262-TIPS.

WASHINGTON (Nexstar) — Capitol Hill congressional leaders reached a tentative agreement on another round of COVID relief. But not everyone is on board.
Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of those opposed to the deal to approve $10 billion to fight COVID.
“Congress wants to spend more money for future COVID, for future vaccines, for future variants,” Greene said on the floor of the House. “There’s no need to do so.”
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Congress will approve the funding. “Putting in the work today to keep our nation prepared against new variants will make it less likely that we get caught off guard,” he said.
The money earmarked by Congress will go toward continuing to provide free COVID vaccines and tests to Americans as well as therapeutic treatments. But the $10 billion Congress plans to approve is much less than the $22 billion President Joe Biden was hoping for.
Biden said without more funding from Congress critical supplies could begin to run out. Now the White House said this package is a jumping off point.
“This does not, well, obviously not, meet all of those needs, dire needs,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said.
The White House said money for international vaccine efforts is vital. Lawmakers stripped money for those international vaccine efforts out of the package.
But some Republicans are also considering tying passage of the $10 billion agreement to renewal of Title 42, the pandemic rule that keeps most asylum seekers out of the US. Some Democrats may also be on board with this idea.
If it’s approved, this COVID relief package would not include any direct payments to Americans.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — Lawmakers want to find out if corporations are taking advantage of Americans and fueling inflation.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) says big corporations are using the pandemic and war in Ukraine to make money.
“During all this instability, that this be a moment in which large corporations continue to enjoy huge profits,” Sanders said.
During a Senate Budget Committee hearing, Sanders accused companies like Tyson and Amazon, who he said prioritize corporate greed, of causing inflation.
“Corporations are making record-breaking profits and over 700 billionaires in America became nearly $2 trillion wealthier,” Sanders said.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) says competition usually drives the price of items down, but there isn’t enough in the gas or meat industry.
“Is there something unusual about those two markets that seemingly causes this market theory not to pertain in those markets?” Whitehouse asked.
“A relatively few number of producers who can easily coordinate their production,” UC Berkeley Public Policy Professor Robert Reich answered.
Sanders and Whitehouse believe these corporations deserve a windfall tax for their profiteering, but Republicans say Democrats are pointing the finger at the wrong culprit.
“The best cause for inflation lies in the policy choices of this administration,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said.
Graham says higher corporate taxes aren’t a solution.
“If we impose new taxes now on businesses who changed their business model in light of COVID, we’re going to make a huge mistake,” Graham said.
Graham says this issue should be decided by the voters in November.

INDIANAPOLIS — With Americans leaving their jobs in record numbers in 2021, the job market is a hot topic for many people. People interested in getting away from careers impacted by COVID-19 drove what has been dubbed the “Great Resignation.”
Historically, the United States has seen times of volatility in the job market as the nation changed its economic focus. Stacker reports that during the mid-to-late 1900s, the U.S. economy and job market were characterized by periods of rapid growth followed by panics or depressions. This uncertain economy produced a volatile job market.
We took a look at the most common jobs in Indiana from the 1870 census to see what jobs were the most common then. We compared that with related industries now to see how the job market has changed in the last 150 years.
#10. Boot and shoe makers
Manufacturing industry
- Indiana 1870 employment – 4,299
- National 1870 employment – 171,127
- National 2020 employment – 8,890
If there is one thing that is true across time, people like their shoes. While in the 1870s people may not have had $585 Yeezy shoes, there were shoes for every budget.
This was the 7th most common job in the United States in 1870, with one history website saying a typical shop in Virginia having up to 20 shoemakers working at a time.
The 1800s brought a lot of industrialization to the shoemaking process, with machines for many steps in the process being invented. Around this time, however, supply chain issues caused bottlenecks in the production line. It wasn’t until the 1890s that the process of mechanization was largely complete.
Now, this is more of a cottage industry, with fewer than 9,000 people nationwide earning a living as shoe and leather workers.
#9. Teachers
Professional and Personal Services industry
- Indiana 1870 employment – 5,018
- National 1870 employment – 126,822
- Indiana 2020 employment – 79,120
- National 2020 employment – 4,931,021
The demand for teachers has grown over the last 150 years. In 1870, about half of the nation’s children didn’t get any formal education. The economic realities at the time kept many children working in mines, factories, or on the farm.
At the time, teaching was the 12th most common job in the United States. Now, elementary and middle school teacher is the 5th most common job in the United States. However, school districts nationwide are facing a teacher shortage that has led some schools to call in anyone willing to help keep the schools’ doors open.
#8. Blacksmiths
Manufacturing industry
- Indiana 1870 employment – 6,121
- National 1870 employment – 141,774
- Indiana 2021 employment – 1,310
- National 2020 employment – 16,555
In the 1800s, blacksmiths were a feature in almost every village, town and city. A paper published in the National Bureau of Economic Research shows they provided a range of products from axes and wheels to services like repairs and horse-shoeing. This made blacksmiths the 11th most common job in the United States.
However, as industrialization increased, the blacksmith trade decreased. By 2020, the National Bureau of Labor Statistics said the use of labor-saving machinery is one of the most important factors influencing employment for metal and plastic machine workers. Overall employment for this industry is projected to decline 2 percent from 2020 to 2030.
#7. Clerks in stores
Trade industry
- Indiana 1870 employment – 6,205
- National 1879 employment – 222,504
- Indiana 2021 employment – 81,130
- National 2020 employment – 1,653,315
In the 1800s, the function of general stores was important. People living in the area had no other source of supply of importance, other than peddlers. This made store clerks the 6th most common job in the united states.
Now, despite the growth in online retail sales, Census data shows the retail workforce continues to have a substantial presence in the U.S. labor force. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says while online sales are expected to continue to increase, brick-and-mortar retail stores are expected to increase their emphasis on customer service and ask their staff to do more.
#6. Employees of railroad companies (not clerks)
Transportation industry
- Indiana 1870 employment – 7,377
- National 1879 employment – 154,027
- Indiana 2021 employment – 58,240
- National 2020 employment – 72,218
In the early 1870’s, railroad construction in the United States increased dramatically. Between 1871 and 1900, 170,000 miles were added to the nation’s railroad system. This demand for railroad employees made the job the 9th most common job in the United States.
Now, with an increase in shipping goods through multiple transportation modes, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates the demand for some railroad workers may increase. Overall, employment of railroad workers is expected to grow 5 percent from 2020 to 2030.
#5. Carpenters and joiners
Manufacturing industry
- Indiana 1870 employment – 14,179
- National 1879 employment – 344,596
- Indiana 2021 employment – 20,320
- National 2020 employment – 916,721
In the 1800s, most carpenters worked under the artisan system. They would turn wooden goods finishing out by hand or frame buildings. In 1870, there weren’t any carpenter’s unions. It was the fifth most common job in the united states.
With new home construction growing, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates employment of carpenters will grow 2 percent from 2020 to 2030. However, the increasing popularity of modular and prefabricated components and homes is reducing the need for carpenters to build and install them onsite.
#4. Domestic servants
Professional and Personal Services Industry
- Indiana 1870 employment – 22,942
- National 1879 employment – 975,734
- Indiana 2021 employment – 12,460
- National 2020 employment – 722,454
Economic growth in the latter half of the 19th century made domestic servants a sought-after position. It was the 4th most common job in the U.S. in 1870.
These workers usually lived with the employing family, performing household tasks such as laundry, ironing, cooking, cleaning, and serving in exchange for payment along with room and board. While this position isn’t seen in the same capacity now, the serving industry as maids is expected to grow 11 percent between 2020 and 2030.
#3. Laborers
Professional and Personal Services Industry
- Indiana 1870 employment – 34,954
- National 1879 employment – 1,031,666
- Indiana 2021 employment – 113,200
- National 2020 employment – 2,674,048
The U.S. population tripled between 1860 and 1910, along with the industrial workforce. This brought an increased demand for laborers and brought in many immigrants to support it. This made laborers the 3rd most common job in the united states.
Now, the broad definition of laborer is split between many positions, all expected to grow to support consumer demand in a variety of industries.
#2. Agricultural laborers
Agricultural Industry
- Indiana 1870 employment – 83,949
- National 1879 employment – 2,885,996
- Indiana 2021 employment – 2,920
- National 2020 employment – 346,810
The agricultural industry in the 19th century was labor-intensive and seasonal. This made opportunities for people to get a job working on a farm during the planting or harvest season. This made farm laborers the 2nd most common job in the U.S.
Now, despite the increased demand for crops and other agricultural products, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says employment growth is limited as agricultural establishments continue to use technology to increase productivity. Small farms may continue to create opportunities for these workers.
#1. Farmers and planters
Agricultural Industry
- Indiana 1870 employment – 181.895
- National 1879 employment – 2,977,711
- Indiana 2021 employment – 80
- National 2020 employment: 462,848
Even in 1870, farmers were forced to succeed as entrepreneurs or risk losing their farms. During this time period, farming became increasingly commercialized. It remained the most common job in the United States.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says over the past several decades, increased crop production efficiency has resulted in fewer, but larger farms. This means fewer farmers are needed to produce the same agricultural output. Despite steady demand, many small farms still operate with slim profit margins and are vulnerable to poor market conditions. Now, farmers are the 72nd most common job in the united states.

FROM ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION
FOR RELEASE: WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6, 2022
DEAR ABBY by Abigail Van Buren
FRIEND TRAUMATIZED AFTER WOMAN'S SHOCKING MURDER
DEAR ABBY: A dear friend I have known since we were children was murdered. She was lovely in every way, and I am bereft. I cannot process my grief over her untimely passing because it was accompanied by such trauma.
Images of her murder flash through my mind, especially at night while I'm trying to go to sleep. They also wake me up in the morning. Talking about it makes it worse because it revives the horror, and also because people want to know details as though it is just a story. I feel it is disrespectful to her memory and my affection for her to reduce it to that.
I'm usually a resourceful person, but I have no road map for this. It is of considerable relief that her killer was found, but the details revealed by the media have added to my trauma. I have had friends die at even younger ages from other causes, but not this. Some of our mutual friends are in the same boat as I am, so any guidance you can provide would be appreciated. -- BESIDE MYSELF IN ILLINOIS
DEAR BESIDE MYSELF: I am so sorry for your friend's untimely and tragic death. Clearly, it was shocking and traumatizing for everyone she left behind. You are not obligated to satisfy the curiosity of anyone about the "details." (There is no limit to the amount of curiosity something like this can generate.) All you have to say is you do not wish to discuss it. Period!
Although you didn't mention how long it has been since you lost your friend, because it is causing you to have nightmares, please discuss this with a licensed mental health professional. It may be painful, but it's the most effective way to work through this.
** ** **
DEAR ABBY: I have been dating my partner, "Lizzie," for five years. We are both divorced and have created a blended family of six children (four are hers; two are mine). I'm within 10 years of retirement and have a decent net worth. Unfortunately, Lizzie has no savings and is unemployed.
During our time together, I have paid for everything, which I'm OK with. I previously went through a nasty, contentious divorce. It was financially devastating. My ex still brings me back to court every year in an attempt to increase her support, which is a painful process.
Lizzie would like us to get married, primarily for financial stability. I am resistant because I do not want the financial exposure of another divorce. However, this situation creates an inequality in our relationship. Can I address her concern without marrying her, or are we doomed? -- SCARED OF COURT IN CALIFORNIA
DEAR SCARED: This is a question you should address with your attorney. There are ways you can ensure that Lizzie will be taken care of in the event of your death or incapacity, but they will require documentation. Your attorney can -- and should -- guide you in regard to this.

HINTS FROM HELOISE #12345_20220406
BYLINE: By Heloise
TITLE: Shopping by memory
---
Dear Heloise: I have shopped at the same store for several years now, and I know where everything is located. When I make out a list to take with me as I shop, I mentally move down the aisles, selecting the items I want. The first aisle has the pet food I need, while aisle two holds kitty litter. Aisle three has laundry soap and bleach, and so forth. This keeps me from having to run back and forth across the store looking for items. It saves me time and energy! -- Irene E., Phoenix
Irene, that's an excellent idea. With so many grocery stores getting bigger all the time, it must save you a lot of energy! -- Heloise
SHRIMP DIJON
Dear Heloise: We're having friends over for Easter, and they've made a special request for Shrimp Dijon. I made it two years ago, and it was such a big hit with my guests that they mention it every time I see them. Sadly, I can't find the recipe. Would you reprint it for me and my salivating guests? -- Cody R., Bloomington, Indiana
Cody, I'm flattered you and your guests enjoyed this recipe so much. Here it is. You'll need:
1 1/2 pounds peeled, deveined shrimp
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 cups milk
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 6-ounce package cream cheese, softened
Melt butter or margarine in a frying pan, add shrimp and onions and saute for three minutes, but do not brown. Sprinkle flour into the mixture while thinning the mixture with the milk a little at a time to avoid lumping. Add mustard, nutmeg, salt and pepper and cook for three to five minutes. Stir in cream cheese until blended and warmed through, but do not boil. Serve over rice.
If you like easy to make meals in a short amount of time with minimal fuss, such as my Shrimp Dijon, then you'll love my pamphlet "Heloise's Main Dishes and More." To get a copy, just go to www.Heloise.com or send us a stamped, self-addressed long envelope to: Heloise/Main Dishes, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. You'll be glad you have this handy set of ideas at your fingertips! -- Heloise
COUPONS
Dear Heloise: It seemed like I was always forgetting my coupons or losing them, so I decided to try to organize the way I store them. I now place all my coupons in a small folder that I can place in my glove compartment. I organize according to the dates, which I also highlight in yellow. I usually cut out coupons while I watch a movie at home and take them out to my car during a station break. --Laura T., Dawson, Georgia
THOSE WHO HAVE LESS
Dear Heloise: I shop once a week, and while I'm out at the grocery store, I buy two or three family size cans of soup, stew or maybe some pasta to be donated to the food drive we have at my church. There are hungry people all over America who need a helping hand. -- Nell M., Hugo, Minnesota

A Ryland Drive Tupelo woman said while she was at work, someone broke a window at her residence. She did not know who could be responsible.
Tupelo Police Department
The following reports were filed Tuesday by the Tupelo Police Department.
An officer found a man asleep behind the wheel just after midnight at the intersection of East Main and South Veterans Boulevard.

At the county jail, he failed a field sobriety test and was charged with driving under the influence.
A woman said she, her boyfriend and a male friend were on the patio at Holland’s Bar and Grill on North Gloster around 1 a.m. An unknown white male thought she gave him “some kind of bad look” and called her a b----.

It was later learned that the 26-year-old man had an active Mississippi Department of Corrections warrant. He was also charged with speeding, resisting arrest and failure to comply.
A South Canal Street woman heard a loud noise outside around 10 p.m. When she walked outside, she discovered damage to her mailbox, city-issued garbage can and the passenger side of her 2015 Kia Soul. The same vehicle that caused the damage apparently damaged her neighbor’s garbage can as well.
Anyone with information on any of these crimes is urged to call the Lee County Sheriff's Office at 841-9041, the Tupelo Police Department at 841-6491 or Crime Stoppers of Northeast Mississippi at (800) 773-TIPS or download the P3 Tip App and leave an anonymous tip that way.

Republican Gov. Tate Reeves, seated, signs a bill that will reduce the state income tax over four years, beginning in 2023, at his office in Jackson, Miss., Tuesday, April 5, 2022. Attending the signing were from left, Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Briggs Hopson, R-Vicksburg, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Josh Harkins, R-Flowood, House Speaker Pro Tempore Jason White, R-West, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Trey Lamar, R-Senatobia and House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton.
JACKSON • Gov. Tate Reeves has signed the largest tax cut in Mississippi's history into law, significantly reducing the revenue of a state with abject poverty, vast health disparities, underfunded public schools, crumbling infrastructure and embattled state agencies.
The cut, signed by the governor on Tuesday, is expected to slash state revenue collections by around $525 million over a four-year period.
“Literally every Mississippian who pays income taxes in our state will have the opportunity to send less of their money to the government and the ability to keep more of their money,” Reeves said.
The bill would do away with the state's 4% income tax bracket within the first year of the plan’s implementation, which would cost the state around $185 million.
During the second year, the 5% tax rate would be reduced to 4.7%. In the third year, it would drop to 4.4%, and after the fourth year, it would go to 4%.
Mississippi currently has a gradual income tax system. Now that the tax cut is law, it would eventually leave a flat 4% rate for all earned income over $10,000.
Supporters of the new law believe the historic tax cut could create untold economic growth and prevent young Mississippians from leaving the state.

Critics of the plan say it’s laughable for state leaders to think that low taxes will retain population and spur economic growth, given the litany of problems that state has yet to resolve.
Mississippi has a long list of well-documented issues, including two lengthy lawsuits against state agencies and crumbling infrastructure. State government has also rarely funded public schools to the level required by a statutory funding formula.
The state income tax accounts for around one-third of state revenue.
Even though the tax cut plan does away with the bottom tax brackets, the state’s wealthiest citizens would benefit the most from reducing the income tax because they pay the most now.
Republican House leaders and Gov. Tate Reeves strongly advocated for legislation to eliminate the income tax, but the Senate pushed back on that notion, believing the state could not afford to completely abolish the tax.
But the bill does contain a clause that makes it clear the intent of the Legislature to revisit the issue in 2026 and completely abolish the income tax.
