COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina begins regular early voting across the state for the first time Tuesday.
Legislators passed and the governor signed into law a bill allowing anyone to cast a ballot without an excuse for the two weeks before Election Day in the same way they would by going to the polls.
South Carolina’s primaries are June 14 and early voting is available Monday through Friday. The procedure to vote is just the same as on Election Day. For the general election in November, early voting centers will also be open on Saturdays.
Counties are required to have at least one polling place open. Some smaller counties like Bamberg, Chester, Hampton and Williamsburg counties will have multiple locations, while some larger counties like Aiken, Charleston, Greenville, Lexington and York only have one site at the county election office. A list of sites is on the South Carolina Election Commission’s website.
County officials said early voting does give them flexibility to get more workers or voting machines to a site if it gets busy, which is something impossible to do on Election Day.
Absentee voting is still allowed for people over the age of 65, with mobility issues or illnesses, but those ballots must be cast by mail.

Yes, we have become used to using Zoom for meetings and interactions with fellow employees. However, have you had to make an online presentation to a prospective client or a corporate audience as if it were an important face-to-face event?
Some of us have presented virtually out of necessity. We may have had no choice. Most important, did we know if we were effective in presenting our ideas virtually? Maybe yes, maybe no.
Below are a few tips to consider if you are faced with making a virtual presentation to a variety of audiences. These tips are especially important if the audience members do not know you and may be outside of your company or department.
First, always make sure that the virtual setup is working properly. That means to set up and test everything prior to the scheduled start time. Don’t forget to test the technology to ensure that the microphone, headset and camera are working correctly.
As with in-person presentations, if you have a 30-minute time slot reserved for the presentation, the time clock starts ticking at 30. If it takes an additional five minutes for setup, presenters now have 25 minutes for their presentation.
Inside Business
Second, dress professionally. There are two reasons for this. One of those reasons may be unexpected.
The expected reason is that is what your audience expects. As defined, a presentation is a professional event. The way that you dress reflects directly on you and indirectly on the company that you represent. Will the audience take presenters more seriously if they are wearing suits? Possibly. My question to you is: Is it worth the risk to chance affecting your credibility?
An unexpected reason is that dressing-up makes us feel good. We may take ourselves and our audiences more seriously when we are dressed professionally and will be more effective. It may make us feel good. This may be the best reason of all to dress up for a presentation.
Third, be aware of your surroundings — either what your audience can see or what they may hear during the presentation. Controlling what your camera broadcasts is something under your control. Move anything that may appear behind you that may detract from the audience’s attention on you. Include anything within the camera range that may personally represent you. ESPN sportscasters often have trophies, photos, awards or sports paraphernalia that directly correlate to the announcer’s background.
Disturbing sounds like a cellphone ring, a smoke alarm chirp, a pet’s bark or other normal day-to-day sounds may distract you and affect the audience’s perception of you. Some of these sounds you can prevent. Others you cannot. Do what you can to minimize them.
What has been included in this article are just a few of the tips that I can offer for presenters to consider when professionally presenting virtually. In the next few weeks, I will offer some more tips that will be of value that can increase effectiveness and make every minute count when presenting at a distance.

Ever spot a suspiciously fancy car or truck parked on a suburban street or zooming down a highway sporting a “Farm Use” tag instead of a license plate?
Turns out, a fair number of legislators have, too. And as of July 1, 2023, the state will start cracking down.
Legislation sponsored by Del. Robert Bloxom, R-Accomac, and state Sen. Emmett Hanger, R-Mount Solon, says farmers will need to go to the Department of Motor Vehicles to get a permanent Farm Use tag for each vehicle they use for specific farming needs.
They will no longer be able to simply move a tag from vehicle to vehicle.
And they’ll have to tell the DMV about the size and location of their farm, roughly what it produces every year, as well as give signed statement that they’ll use the vehicle or equipment only to cross a highway, or move from field to field, or take the vehicle or equipment to a repair shop or go for no more than 75 miles to haul farm supplies, waste, or farm products.
They will also have to pay a $15 fee, and certify that the vehicle is insured.
Though it is a new requirement for farms, the state’s biggest farm group supported the measures, which passed the General Assembly unanimously.
“It’s important to preserve the exemption for the legitimate uses of farm vehicles,” said Andrew Smith, Virginia Farm Bureau Federation associate director of governmental relations.
“Virginia Farm Bureau members were willing to go through a formal process to help identify operators and have them attest to the proper use of these vehicles and verification of insurance,” he added.

RICHMOND — Two women are missing after a group of people in rafts and on paddleboards went over the Bosher Dam on the James River.
WWBT-TV reported that 12 people were involved in the accident Monday afternoon. WAVY-TV reported that the dam has a 12-foot drop, and that water levels have been high. Images of the search show the river seemingly placid above the dam, but roiling below, with some of the group’s paddleboards and inflatable rafts caught in the currents below the rush of water.
One of them managed to reach a nearby house for help. Assistant Fire Chief Jeffrey Segal said kayakers in the area helped rescue nine more. But Segal said two women, believed to be in their 20s, were unaccounted for despite a very thorough search.
They planned to keep looking after daylight Tuesday morning. Segal said “we’re very hopeful.”
Local resident Finn Gardner told WWBT that someone banged on their window saying that their group went over the dam.
“So, we ran out there, and we were trying to help get people out of the water and make sure that everyone was accounted for ... Unfortunately, we couldn’t find two of them,” Gardner said. “I’m hoping that they’re in someone’s house somewhere trying to find a way to contact their group. You got to hope for the best.”

Chainlink will reportedly help make identity attestations on the LTO Network available to the wider blockchain ecosystem. By enabling identity KYC/AML verification for DeFi users, Proofi aims to make it easier for protocols and private companies to onboard new clients, the media outlet Crypto New Media details.
LTO has selected to bring its data on-chain through the Chainlink Network as it is the standard for connecting data providers with smart contract developers. In Chainlink, Proofi is leveraging the available oracle network, enabling Proofi to reach a wide range of developers in the smart contract ecosystem.
Proofi enables DeFi protocols to outsource the cost and burden of capturing KYC/AML information. Instead of having to check a user’s information directly, they will be able to verify an attestation on Proofi to see whether a person is legally permitted to participate in the project.

Grey, a Y-combinator backed fintech startup, allows users to get paid in USD, EUR, or GBP before withdrawing it to their local bank account or M-Pesa mobile payments account. It is particularly popular among freelancers and remote workers, who can invoice US or European clients in their local currency through the app, according to the press release.
In a statement announcing the new partnership, Cellulant explained that thousands of young Kenyans access work opportunities through digital platforms in a rapidly growing gig economy. The online gig economy is fuelled by a burgeoning young workforce, internet and smartphone penetration, and mobile money proliferation. With Africa having the youngest workforce yet with high unemployment rates, online gig work provides alternative and accessible employment opportunities and a path to economic prosperity for the youthful workforce.
Grey’s officials stated that they are now enabling Kenyans to make and receive international payments via the foreign accounts Grey provides. Grey’s expansion to Kenya will replace the need for Kenyan residents and visitors to jump from app to app and make receiving foreign payments and converting directly to Kenyan Shillings easier.
As well as providing young Kenyans and Nigerians with easier access to employment markets, Grey pointed out that the app could also be used by travellers to either country, who could convert any of the supported currencies into Shilling or Naira, and pay for goods and services through M-Pesa or by withdrawing it to a local bank account.

The bank branch is expected to open during the summer in the Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City) in the Ahmedabad area. The office will be MUFG Bank's sixth branch in India after those in New Delhi and Mumbai. GIFT City will let banks extend loans in dollars, an incentive Japanese lender MUFG Bank will use to serve businesses seeking growth capital.
The Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group unit aims to invest USD 300 million in Indian startups through an initiative targeting growth opportunities outside of Japan.
India generally allows loans denominated only in rupees, the national currency. For a bank to extend a loan in dollars or other currencies, the lender needs to execute the transaction from a branch in a neighbouring country. This triggers a tax of 5% or 10%, an expense frequently passed on to borrowing companies.
Dollar-denominated loans in GIFT City will not face such a tax, giving companies access to financing on more favourable terms. Banks will benefit from a more straightforward lending process. India looks to raise industrial competitiveness through GIFT City. Demand for business loans is brisk in India for uses such as long-term capital expenditures.

Merchants can now apply for rebates on so-called swipe fees charged on credit card transactions dating back two decades, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) said. The settlement for the class action, launched in 2011, comes after the pandemic quickened a shift towards digital payments as more consumers shopped online.
Credit cards charge merchants so-called interchange rates on purchases, a fee shared between credit card companies, payment processors, and banks. Those fees can range from as low as around 1% for basic cards to nearly 3% for cards that offer rewards such as cash back or loyalty points. While the settlement doesn't change the fees, it does allow businesses to apply for a rebate of some of the fees paid since 2021.
Any Canadian merchant that accepted MasterCard and Visa credit cards between 2001 and 2021 and incurred merchant discount fees is eligible for a rebate, ranging from USD 30 a year or up to USD 600 total for small merchants, to USD 250 a year or USD 5,000 for larger merchants.
The settlement also gives merchants the power to pass credit card fees on to customers, starting in Autumn 2022. While very few merchants are expected to add surcharges for accepting credit cards, CFIB’s officials said that giving businesses the ability to recoup those fees will help them push back against future fee hikes. Meanwhile, the federal government has repeatedly pledged to lower credit card processing fees for small businesses.

Published: May. 31, 2022 at 7:13 AM CDT|Updated: 23 minutes ago
FRUITLAND, Wash. (AP) — Witnesses say a 9-year-old girl survived a cougar attack after wandering up a trail with two friends while camping in northwest Washington state.
It happened Saturday morning near Fruitland, Washington.
The girl fought back while her friends ran for their lives. Adults rushed to help and found the girl covered in blood.
She was soon airlifted to a hospital, where she’s recovering after surgery for multiple wounds to her head and upper body.
Others found the young male cougar and killed it.

- The FreeStyle Libre 3 system is the most accurate 14-day continuous glucose monitor1, with readings sent directly to a smartphone every minute.2
- Designed for access and affordability, the FreeStyle Libre 3 system will be available at the same price as previous versions, which is one-third the cost of other competing continuous glucose monitoring systems available today.3,4
ABBOTT PARK, Ill., May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Abbott (NYSE: ABT) today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared its next-generation FreeStyle Libre 3 system for use by people four years and older6 living with diabetes.
"The FreeStyle Libre 3 system is a direct result of listening to our customers – and giving them the innovation and sensing technology they've been looking for," said Jared Watkin, senior vice president of Abbott's diabetes care business. "It's a game changer for the millions of people living with diabetes. They'll be able to manage their health minute-by-minute with the world's smallest and thinnest sensor and most accurate 14-day continuous glucose monitoring system."
FreeStyle Libre 3 System Features:
- Greatest accuracy – with a 7.9% overall mean absolute relative difference (MARD), the FreeStyle Libre 3 system is the most accurate 14-day continuous glucose monitor (CGM) with readings sent directly to a smartphone every minute.6 It's the first CGM to demonstrate a sub-8% MARD1,6 – which is the standard way to measure continuous glucose accuracy – the lower percentage, the better.
- Smallest and thinnest – at the size of two stacked U.S. pennies (worn inconspicuously on the back of one's upper arm), it's the smallest and thinnest4,7 CGM sensor in the world.
- Even easier to use – with a one-piece applicator the sensor is uncomplicated to apply.4
- Strongest Bluetooth® integration with a range of up to 33 feet – 50% further range than other CGMs.4,8
Priced for Access and Affordability
Abbott will price the FreeStyle Libre 3 system the same as previous versions9 with the goal of enabling the greatest number of people living with diabetes to benefit from the next-generation technology.
"We continue to disrupt the notion that CGMs have to sacrifice quality or accuracy for affordability," said Watkin. "Access to breakthrough diabetes technologies should not be out of reach for the people who can benefit most from them. Innovation for access and affordability is a core pillar in Abbott's business and sustainability strategy."
There is a vast and growing need for new innovations in diabetes care. There are now more than 133 million Americans living with diabetes or prediabetes (nearly half of the U.S. population), according to the American Diabetes Association.10 The organization also notes that diabetes is the most common underlying chronic condition in the U.S. and 1.4 million Americans aged 18 years or older are newly diagnosed with diabetes each year, which equates to one every 23 seconds.10
"I have seen real-world evidence that diabetes technologies like CGMs have helped my patients safely achieve improved glycemic control," said Dr. Eugene E. Wright, Jr., consulting associate at Duke University's department of medicine. "I applaud Abbott for making their CGM system the most affordable and addressing disparities in care so patients living with diabetes can avoid complications and optimize their quality of life."
Digital Health Tools
The FreeStyle Libre 3 system was cleared for use with the FreeStyle Libre 3 iOS and Android mobile apps, which enable users to view their glucose levels in real time, track their glucose history and trends, and set up optional alarms plus notifications to help them be alerted of serious medical events like hypoglycemia.11
The mobile app integrates with the FreeStyle Libre digital ecosystem, including LibreView and LibreLinkUp,12,13,14 enabling caregivers and healthcare professionals to remotely monitor loved ones and patients as needed.
Availability
The FreeStyle Libre 3 sensor will be available at participating pharmacies later this year.15

Diabetes Education Accreditation Program certification validates AdhereRx's success in improving outcomes for people with diabetes through education, care management, and pharmacy support.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AdhereHealth, a healthcare technology leader in medication adherence insights and health outcomes, announced it has achieved the milestone of Diabetes Education Accreditation Program (DEAP) certification through the Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialists (ADCES).
ADCES is one of two national accrediting organizations for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Becoming DEAP certified is the highest recognition that a diabetes management program can attain. Earning accreditation means that primary care and endocrinologist providers can now directly refer their diabetic patients to AdhereRx pharmacies to help improve adherence to diabetes treatment plans through education, care management, and support.
"This certification is a testament to the knowledge and expertise of our digital pharmacy team in supporting vulnerable, underserved patients with diabetes and other chronic conditions. Combining clinical expertise and technology enables us to engage high-risk individuals and connect them with resources to improve health outcomes," said Jason Rose, CEO of AdhereHealth.
AdhereRx is a digital pharmacy that integrates a wide range of services and resources to provide holistic support to underserved, vulnerable patients living with complex or chronic health conditions, including diabetes. The company's Adhere Platform™ leverages technology-driven solutions to improve quality and financial outcomes. The experienced pharmacy team engages high-risk patients directly through telepharmacy outreach, ensuring social determinants of health such as low health literacy are addressed.
"Evidence shows diabetes education helps people with diabetes to lower their blood sugar glucose and obtain skills to better self-manage their condition. Digital pharmacies like AdhereRx can play an important role in making sure individuals living with diabetes fully understand their disease," said Sacha Uelmen, Director of Accreditation at ADCES.
"Diabetes disproportionately affects racial and ethnic minorities and people of little financial means in the United States. By connecting with these vulnerable populations through telepharmacy, we can create health equity and help improve health literacy by providing ongoing education with individualized coaching focused on nutrition, exercise, and behavior change," said Cornelius Toliver, Director of Clinical Innovations at AdhereRx.
In addition to the DEAP accreditation, AdhereRx also recently earned national CDC Diabetes Prevention Program Accreditation for its diabetes prevention program.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- American College of Education (ACE), accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and a leading provider of online and affordable higher education, announced that its president, Dr. Shawntel Landry, will be stepping down after nearly 13 years in leadership roles at the college.
Landry, who has overseen an era of record student growth and exceptional performance by the institution in its finances and across all areas of specialties, said she plans to take time off to consider the next steps in her education-centric career.
She will stay until Sept. 30 to help the Board of Trustees fill the top post and assist in an orderly transition at ACE, widely recognized for offering high-quality, affordable doctorate, master's and bachelor's degrees, along with micro-credentials and graduate-level certificate programs.
"I've had the privilege and honor to lead this amazing college of talented individuals during an extraordinary stretch," Landry said. "Now is the time to move on to the next chapter of my life's work, and I leave knowing our faculty and staff are well positioned to keep up the momentum that has seen ACE deliver much-needed support for professionals nationwide."
The board will begin a national search for a new president and CEO, a change in title and scope that reflects ACE's recent program enhancements and growth plans, including educational partnerships offering online graduate credit courses for teacher license renewal and professional development; expansion of STEM, health and wellness and other related degrees; and accelerated efforts to help students make an immediate return on their investment.
ACE's unique model of using real-world experience in its courses allows faculty to share their expertise with students for practical application in day-to-day practices, networking, career advancement and more.
"We are indebted to Shawntel, whose dedication to excellence has made our college a stronger, more dynamic and more visible institution. It's been a transformational tenure that has elevated ACE as a leader in online higher education programs. She has been instrumental in setting us on a course toward even greater eminence and impact, and we wish her all the best in her further endeavors," said the Board of Trustees chair, Dr. Jeri Nowakowski.
Landry, an advocate for student-first approaches to scalable operations and programming, joined ACE in 2009 as a senior vice president. Becoming president in 2013, she led the college through development of a new mission, vision, and strategic plan. That included adding the new disciplines of healthcare, nursing, and business.
Under her leadership, ACE's student population has grown over 100%, with more than 7,500 current students and a network of more than 31,000 alumni across 50 states and 84 countries.
ACE has kept costs low, with 85% of students graduating with no student debt. Since 2012, students have received more than $9 million in institutional scholarships and grants, including $1.9 million in the most recent year.

TOLENTINO, Italy, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- At arena, we care about water and our most abundant natural resource is integral to the brand's heritage and DNA. For World Oceans Day this June, arena is therefore proud to support Sea Shepherd in their mission to clean up and protect the oceans by launching a 10-day 'Swim 4 the Seas' challenge in partnership with Strava, the first of its kind on the worldwide social network for athletes.
From June 3rd to 12th, arena is challenging swimmers around the world to complete 4km in 10 days on Strava. In return for each completed challenge, arena and Sea Shepherd commit to cleaning the equivalent of 200 single-use plastic bags worth of discarded nets, longlines and illegal FADs (Fish Aggregating Devices) from our oceans.
arena CEO Peter Graschi commented: "Whether it's at the pool, the lake or in the ocean, we encourage everyone and their friends to take on the 'Swim 4 the Seas' challenge on Strava and help clean up our oceans one stroke at a time. We want to hit 5,000 people worldwide completing the 4km swim in ten days so that we can remove the equivalent of 1 million plastic bags to mark this year's World Oceans Day. We care passionately about our planet, so arena are proud to commit to working with Sea Shepherd to take action to protect our most precious natural resource. Swim your way to cleaner oceans and help us make a positive impact. The oceans are suffocating from plastic so let's get swimming!"
Swimmers can register for more information on the 10-day challenge here: https://swim4theseas.arenasport.com/en/
And share progress with arena on Instagram @arenaopenwater using the #Swim4TheSeas hashtag.
For Strava users in Europe and the United States, a bonus prize will be unlocked upon completion of the challenge.
Sea Shepherd's sole mission is to protect and conserve the world's oceans and marine wildlife. FADs are some of the deadliest fishing gear in the ocean. These flotation devices, intended to lure in fish, are often made from plastic and other non-biodegradable materials, including a long propylene line to anchor the FAD to the seabed. The fishermen then encircle the FAD with their nets, capturing everything in its path. This results in the unintended capture -- or bycatch -- of juvenile fish and other species, including endangered sea turtles and marine mammals, which can get tangled, injured, and drowned by the propylene line. And worse, an estimated 60% of FADs become lost or abandoned at sea as "ghost gear" that pollute the ocean. Another example of ghost gear are the illegal spadare drift nets, true walls of death which are often abandoned at sea, indiscriminately trapping and killing marine wildlife such as turtles, dolphins, sperm whales, fin whales and sharks for decades if not retrieved."

VANCOUVER, BC, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Argentina Lithium & Energy Corp. (TSXV: LIT) (FSE: OAY3) (OTC: PNXLF), ("Argentina Lithium" or the "Company") announces the commencement of exploration drilling at its Rincon West lithium project in Salta Province, Argentina. Five exploration holes are initially planned to test multiple prospective brine targets identified from the geophysical survey data announced in the News Release dated May 2, 2022. This drill program is expected to require four months to complete.
The Rincon West project covers 2470 hectares of the salar basin, located west of the adjacent Rincon Project owned by Rio Tinto. Previously announced geophysics results delineated highly conductive units consistent with concentrated brine aquifers over 64% of the property area. On May 27, the first of five exploration holes was initiated to test the geophysical targets. Two thousand metres of diamond drilling is budgeted for this initial campaign. The Company's drilling permit allows up to nine exploration holes, thus the scope of the program may be expanded based on results.
"The Rincon West project has never been drilled though it is highly prospective. In this initial campaign, we are looking for high lithium grades and horizons that can produce high flow rates for a potential future production operation. The initial exploration holes have been located on the geophysics traverses in order to allow extrapolation of drill results more broadly across the geophysics coverage. Since the geophysics produced multiple exceptional targets, we hope to produce positive results early in this program." stated Miles Rideout, V.P. of Exploration.
The drilling contract has been awarded to AGV Falcon S.R.L, an experienced drilling contractor with offices in Salta Province, Argentina. Brine samples will be analyzed by Alex Stewart Assayers Argentina S.A., a subsidiary of Alex Stewart International. The quality of sample analytical results will be assessed with a protocol of blank, duplicate and control samples to be included in each sample suite.
Argentina Lithium has an option to earn a 100% interest in the Rincon West project, as described in the Company's September 28, 2021 News Release.
David Terry, Ph.D., P.Geo. is the Company's Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument 43-101. Dr. Terry is responsible for oversight of the Company's early-stage exploration at the Rincon West property. The disclosure in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Dr. Terry.
Argentina Lithium & Energy Corp is focused on acquiring high quality lithium projects in Argentina and advancing them towards production in order to meet the growing global demand from the battery sector. The management group has a long history of success in the resource sector of Argentina and has assembled a first rate team of experts to acquire and advance the best lithium properties in the world renowned "Lithium Triangle". The Company is a member of the Grosso Group, a resource management group that has pioneered exploration in Argentina since 1993.

RENO, Nev. and TORONTO, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bendito Resources Inc., together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("Bendito", the "Company", or "we"), is pleased to announce the execution of share purchase agreements (collectively, the "SPA") with Azure Minerals Limited and its subsidiary, Azure Mexico PTY Ltd. (collectively, the "Vendor"), under which Bendito will acquire a diversified Mexican project portfolio. The project portfolio consists of eight properties, including Alacran and Oposura, both of which have previously reported mineral resource estimates (see Figure 1). Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, the transaction is currently expected to close on or around June 30, 2022. References to "A$" indicates Australian dollars and references to "US$" indicates Unites States dollars.
The Bendito team includes experienced corporate executives, geologists, and seasoned in-country management team and personnel. Bendito is led by its President and CEO, Mr. John Antwi, an executive with over 30 years of diversified mining and management experience, most recently with Elim Mining in which Mr. Antwi was instrumental in founding and developing a world-class, pre-IPO copper project in Arizona, USA.
"The acquisition of these eight projects from Azure Minerals is expected to provide the Company with high-quality precious and base metals projects in prime geologic and mining-friendly jurisdictions with significant growth potential. We look forward to building upon the excellent reputation of Azure Minerals in Mexico, as we develop these projects. We are thrilled to advance the Alacran and Oposura projects through the remaining development stages into production to create significant value for our stakeholders," commented Mr. Antwi.
Leveraging his past international mining experience, a key priority of Mr. Antwi will be ensuring Bendito forms strong partnerships within local communities and demonstrates environmental stewardship during its drilling and exploration programs.
Bendito's Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Jeff Stieber, commented: "There are many opportunities to add value at Bendito and, together with our team in Mexico, we will aim to ensure that our project and exploration capital is directed towards capturing the highest value while responsibly positioning the Company for its future growth."
Mr. Tony Rovira, Azure's Managing Director, commented: "I think this is a terrific outcome for both Azure and Bendito. We still see significant potential in these high-quality, advanced-stage projects but with our focus now on the Andover nickel-copper-cobalt project in Australia, it makes sense for these projects to sit within a dedicated special-purpose group focused solely on Mexico. The team behind Bendito has a successful track record of identifying, acquiring, developing, and operating projects; so, retaining exposure to these assets that we know so well should be both exciting and rewarding for Azure shareholders."
Highlight of Projects
The Company currently views the Alacran and Oposura properties as being the two most advanced projects within the portfolio as these projects have previously reported mineral resources, have high potential to increase the historical mineral resource estimates through drilling and exploration campaigns, and are expected to be the projects that the Bendito team will focus its efforts after the closing of the transaction.
The Alacran Project contains the Alacran porphyry system and associated high-level low sulfidation lithocap epithermal systems including Mesa de Plata and Loma Bonita. Bendito plans to grow the epithermal lithocap projects into a consolidated resource through expanded drilling programs aimed at confirming and increasing inferred resources across the interpreted lithocap footprint. The timing for the resource estimate and related technical report is late Q4 2022. Concurrent with these activities, Bendito plans to analyze the copper opportunities of the property exhibited by both porphyry copper and epithermal style mineralization potential.
The Oposura Project is a Zn-Pb-Ag skarn deposit. Exploration and resource drilling to date has focused on two zones of outcropping Arenillas limestone formation containing massive sulfide mineralization. Limited exploration work has been undertaken outside of these zones, and Bendito plans to expand the exploration footprint to test for continuity of the mineralized Arenillas Formation across the broader property following up on more recent exploration mapping work undertaken. This is anticipated to lead to an expanded drilling program aimed at confirming and growing the project's inferred resources to define a larger resource base for the project.
Transaction Summary
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the SPA, transaction consideration paid by Bendito to the Vendor includes i) a A$6M (~US$4.1M) cash payment and a 10% equity interest in Bendito at transaction closing and ii) A$4M (~US$2.7M) cash payment and up to A$8M of shares of Bendito payable within 18 months of the transaction closing date. As contemplated in the SPA, Bendito will use its best commercial endeavors to take the Company public within 18 months after the transaction closing date. The foregoing description and summary of the SPA does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the SPA.
About Bendito Resources Inc.
Bendito Resources Inc. is a private mineral resource company formed and led by experienced mining and exploration executives with headquarters in Reno, Nevada, USA. The Company is in the process of closing a transaction to purchase a portfolio of diversified mineral projects in Mexico, which includes the Alacran and Oposura projects, both of which have previously reported mineral resources. Upon transaction closing, the Mexican property portfolio will comprise the Company's sole mineral interests.

MISGAV, Israel, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Biond Biologics Ltd., a private, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel immunotherapies for cancer and a platform enabling the intracellular delivery of biologics, announced today that the company will be presenting a joint poster with Sanofi at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2022 Annual Meeting taking place in Chicago, Illinois, June 3-7, 2022. The poster presents pre-clinical translational data including potential patient enrichment biomarkers for SAR444881 (BND-22).
The poster will be presented at:
Developmental Therapeutics—Immunotherapy
Date and Time: 06/05/2022, 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Abstract Title: Evaluation of pharmacodynamic and patient enrichment biomarkers for SAR444881, a first-in-class anti-ILT2 monoclonal antibody for cancer immunotherapy.
Abstract ID: 2571
About SAR444881 (BND-22),
Leukocyte Ig-like receptor B1 (LILRB1), also known as immunoglobulin-like transcript 2 (ILT2), is an inhibitory receptor expressed on various immune cells. ILT2 was shown to bind to classical and nonclassical MHC class I molecules and with the highest affinity to HLA-G. Inhibition of ILT2 signaling axis results in impairment of immune cell proliferation, differentiation, phagocytosis, cytotoxicity and cytokine secretion and may therefor serve as a novel target for anti-cancer immunotherapy. SAR444881 (BND-22) is a novel humanized IgG4 monoclonal antagonist antibody that selectively binds to ILT2, blocking its interaction with MHC I molecules, thus preventing the inhibition of ILT2 signaling.
"We previously demonstrated that SAR444881 has robust macrophage and lymphocyte-driven anti-tumor activity in in vitro and in vivo models. The poster presents a joint effort of Biond and Sanofi to explore the pharmacodynamic effect of ILT2 antagonism as well as to inform on combinatorial and patient enrichment strategies for SAR444881 clinical development", said Ilana Mandel, Ph.D., VP R&D at Biond Biologics.

Initiation of global non-interventional study for patients with Parkinson's planned for the second half of 2022 as next step
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BlueRock Therapeutics LP, a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Bayer AG, announced the completion of enrollment of its Phase 1 (Ph1), open-label trial of pluripotent stem cell-derived dopaminergic neurons in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The purpose of the Ph1 clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of BRT-DA01 in patients with Parkinson's disease.
"Patients with Parkinson's disease are faced with life changing challenges and uncertainties that are not addressed by current treatments," said Ahmed Enayetallah, M.D., Ph.D., Senior Vice President, Clinical Development, BlueRock Therapeutics. "We are excited that our Phase 1 clinical trial has completed enrollment and believe it is a critical next step toward the development of a novel cell therapy that has the potential to transform the treatment landscape for this devastating disease."
About the BRT-DA01 Phase 1 Trial
The primary objective of the Ph1 trial is to assess the safety and tolerability of BRT-DA01 transplantation at one-year post-transplant. The secondary objectives of the trial are to assess the evidence of transplanted cell survival and motor effects at one- and two-years post-transplant, to evaluate continued safety and tolerability at two years, and to assess feasibility of transplantation.
In the United States, the trial was initiated at Weill Cornell Medicine with Dr. Harini Sarva, M.D. as the Principal Investigator (PI) and first surgeries being performed by Dr. Viviane Tabar, Chair of the Department of Neurosurgery at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Additional Neurology sites were added at the University of California, Irvine, under the guidance of Dr. Claire Henchcliffe, M.D., D.Phil., F.A.A.N., F.A.N.A.

About Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by nerve cell damage in the brain, leading to decreased dopamine levels. The worsening of motor and non-motor symptoms is caused by the loss of dopamine-producing neurons. At diagnosis, it is estimated that patients have already lost 60-80% of their dopaminergic neurons. Parkinson's disease often starts with a tremor in one hand. Other symptoms are rigidity, cramping, and slowness of movement (bradykinesia). According to the Parkinson's Foundation, more than 10 million people worldwide suffer from Parkinson's disease, with one million living in the United States. BRT-DA01 is being clinically evaluated in a subset of patients with Parkinson's disease, where regular medications are no longer fully effective.

RICHMOND, Va., May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Capital Square, one of the nation's leading sponsors of tax-advantaged real estate investments and an active developer of mixed-use multifamily communities, announced today that their inaugural development project, an 80-unit Class A multifamily property in Richmond, Virginia, has achieved 97% occupancy just over four months after opening its doors to residents.
Dubbed "INK," the 80,000-square-foot property, which includes 1,939 square feet of ground-level retail space, was built in a qualified opportunity zone in the emerging neighborhood of Scott's Addition. INK is the first of three development projects of Scott's Collection, a group of boutique multifamily communities within the Scott's Addition neighborhood. Construction on the property began in the second quarter of 2020 and was completed in February 2022.
"The quick lease-up of this property has exceeded our expectations but is not surprising given the exceptional quality we've delivered with INK to the increasingly popular Scott's Addition neighborhood," said Whit Huffman, chief strategy and investment officer. "Demand for quality housing in this emerging part of Richmond is very high, and Capital Square is working hard to help satisfy that demand with this project, as well as the four other multifamily properties we have in various stages of development throughout the neighborhood."
Development of INK at Scott's Collection was primarily funded with proceeds from Capital Square's first qualified opportunity zone fund, CSRA Opportunity Zone Fund I, LLC. Capital Square has subsequently launched a total of seven qualified opportunity zone funds, including CSRA Opportunity Zone Fund VII, LLC, which seeks to raise $41.4 million from accredited investors to fund the development of an additional luxury multifamily development in the Scott's Addition neighborhood. Capital Square's successfully raised opportunity zone funds to date have initiated over $300 million in development value.
Located at 3000 – 3008 Clay Street, the five-story INK features a number of one- and two-bedroom floorplans ranging in size from 585 square feet to 1,130 square feet, private balconies and attractive community amenities, including a pool courtyard and outdoor lounge with fire pit and grill stations. As the market leader, INK's current in-place and asking rents equal $1,718, or $2.46 per square foot. The property is managed by Greystar Property Management.
In total, Capital Square currently has four multifamily developments under construction in the Scott's Addition neighborhood that have delivered or will deliver 559 luxury apartment homes by 2023, with another 350 units planned for the neighborhood. These projects include VIV and GEM, the remaining two Scott's Collection multifamily projects, which are currently pre-leasing and will welcome residents in the coming weeks. Also included is The Otis, a 350-unit joint development with Greystar that is expected to complete its first phase of construction during the fourth quarter of 2022.
Once a hub for industrial buildings and businesses, Scott's Addition is one of Richmond's fastest growing and vibrant neighborhoods, with a plethora of entertainment and dining options in the walkable neighborhood. The area includes over 13 breweries, cideries, meaderies and distilleries, is home to nationally recognized cinema, a shuffleboard bar, retail shops, and more. Convenient access to Interstates 64, 95, 195 and the Powhite Parkway have also led to a growing number of employers choosing to relocate or open new offices in the neighborhood. Scott's Addition is considered the number one "millennial hot-spot" in Virginia, with a 43% increase in millennials in just five years, according to RENTCafe. Scott's Addition's apartment rental rates are projected to increase 3% to 4% per year for five years and is the second-highest performing market in Richmond, according to Yardi Matrix.
Opportunity zones were created to stimulate long-term private investments in low-income urban and rural communities nationwide. Conceived as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, opportunity zone funds are intended to help foster economic growth by providing tax benefits to incentivize private investments in designated opportunity zones.
About Capital Square
Capital Square is a national real estate firm specializing in tax-advantaged real estate investments, including Delaware statutory trusts for Section 1031 exchanges, qualified opportunity zone funds for tax deferral and exclusion and a real estate investment trust (REIT). In recent years the company has become an active developer of multifamily properties in the southeastern US, with eight current projects totaling approximately 2,000 apartment units with a total development cost in excess of $600 million. Since 2012, Capital Square has completed more than $5.6 billion in transaction volume. Capital Square's related entities provide a range of services, including due diligence, acquisition, loan sourcing, property/asset management, and disposition, for a growing number of high-net-worth investors, private equity firms, family offices and institutional investors. Since 2017, Capital Square has been recognized by Inc. 5000 as one of the fastest growing companies in the nation for four consecutive years. In 2017, 2018 and 2020, the company was also ranked on Richmond BizSense's list of fastest growing companies. Additionally, Capital Square was listed by Virginia Business on their "Best Places to Work in Virginia" report in 2019 and their "Fantastic 50" reports in 2019 and 2020.

The non-medical home care company hosts networking event and an awards ceremony for franchisees in the Dominican Republic
SAN ANTONIO, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Caring Senior Service, a non-medical home care services franchise, feted the company's franchise owners and corporate staff with a variety of awards and informational seminars recently at its Caring Senior Service 2022 Annual Owners' Conference in Macao Beach, Dominican Republic.
"Our franchise owners are the backbone of our success and setting aside this time to both honor them and provide them with the tools they need to grow is absolutely essential," said Caring Senior Service founder and CEO Jeff Salter. "This convention is not only a chance for us to kick up our heels as a corporate family and salute our outstanding franchisees, it's also a time to network, learn from one another and plan ahead to meet our goals for the upcoming year."

"The fox may be a complex thinker, but the hedgehog has the ability to focus on a single path toward excellence," Salter said. "Like the hedgehog, Rick and Kathy Casey are big idea people. They know the value of their decisions and work confidently down the path that leads them to achieving success."
In addition to the Hedgehog award, Caring Senior Service presented the following awards during the awards ceremony:
- Shakin' the Bushes Award (awarded to the franchise location with the most referrals from referral sources): Andy Gillen of Caring Senior Service in Corpus Christi
- Sign 'Em Up Award (awarded to the franchise location with the most new clients admitted): Delia Sousa of Caring Senior Service in Northeast Dallas
- Voice of Caring Award (awarded to the franchisee who best sets the sets the tone for the Caring Senior Service brand): Cindy Sheller of Caring Senior Service of Northeast Tucson (Arizona).
In addition to these awards, 21 Caring Senior Service locations were admitted to the Champions Circle after meeting certain financial criteria, and six of those locations were also lauded for meeting these goals for the entirety of 2021. Several franchise offices were also honored for other financial success and impressive sales in 2021.

Text 'FOOD' or 'COMIDA' to 304-304 to find free summer meals for kids; Awareness is critical as kids could miss out on 95M meals this summer
[Media: For Photos, Click HERE]
WASHINGTON, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- All kids deserve a happy, healthy summer, but as communities continue to struggle with the effects of the pandemic, millions of children are at risk of hunger this summer. No Kid Hungry, a national campaign to end childhood hunger, is launching an awareness campaign to help families find free meals for their kids and teens this summer through a bilingual text service. Parents, grandparents and caregivers can simply text "FOOD" or "COMIDA" to 304-304 to find sites serving free meals in their neighborhood. Chef Lorena Garcia, Ayesha Curry and Big Freedia are joining the effort as campaign ambassadors.
During the school year, kids can rely on school meal programs like breakfast, lunch and afterschool meals. But when school is out, many of those meals disappear, making summer the hungriest time of the year for kids and teens. This summer, rising food and fuel prices will make it particularly hard for families to put meals on the table.
Free summer meals programs, run by local schools and community groups, are available and open to any kid or teenager who needs a healthy meal. But due to the expiration of pandemic-era child nutrition waivers, an estimated 20% fewer meal sites will be operating this summer in comparison to last year. Kids could miss out on an estimated 95 million meals this summer. No Kid Hungry is equipping schools and community groups with resources to serve as many summer meals as possible and advocating for policies to reduce the barriers that stand in the way of feeding children over the summer.
Raising awareness of the free summer meal program is critical this year, which is why Chef Lorena Garcia, Ayesha Curry, and Big Freedia are stepping up to spread the word about No Kid Hungry's texting service. They will record public service announcements, amplify on social media and more. Stay tuned to No Kid Hungry's social channels all summer long to see this content.
"As a Chef, I know exactly how food and nutrition are tied to success and happiness," said chef, author, restaurateur and TV personality, Lorena Garcia. "Every kid deserves to have a full stomach – no matter what time of year it is. I am proud to partner with No Kid Hungry to promote this critical service so more parents and caregivers, including Spanish-speaking families, know where they can access nutritious meals for their kids while school is out."
"As a mom of three, it's hard to fathom the fact that millions of kids aren't getting the necessary food they need to thrive," said entrepreneur, chef, two-time New York Times best-selling author, philanthropist, and member of No Kid Hungry's National Spokesfamily, Ayesha Curry. "We all have a role to play when it comes to ending childhood hunger, which is why we must bring our villages together and work on the ground to make a real impact. I'm so proud to partner with No Kid Hungry through our Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation to spread the word about our critical programs that ensure all kids have access to food this summer, in Oakland and across the country."
"I've seen No Kid Hungry's work and the impact of summer meals sites firsthand in my hometown of New Orleans," said hip-hop artist and TV personality Big Freedia. "Kids need full stomachs to grow properly and to focus on being kids. Summer meals give them the opportunity to do just that."
To find free summer meals for youth 18 and under, text 'FOOD' or 'COMIDA' to 304-304 or visit NoKidHungry.org/Help. Media and the general public can also access the campaign's social media toolkit to help amplify the message now through Aug. 12.
No Kid Hungry is proud to work with partners like Citi and the Arby's Foundation to help ensure kids have access to free meals this summer and all year long.
About No Kid Hungry
No child should go hungry in America. But in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, 1 in 6 kids could face hunger this year. No Kid Hungry is working to end childhood hunger by helping launch and improve programs that give all kids the healthy food they need to thrive. This is a problem we know how to solve. No Kid Hungry is a campaign of Share Our Strength, an organization committed to ending hunger and poverty. Join us at NoKidHungry.org.

United Planner's DefendUP offering takes its critical infrastructure and access to key cloud applications "dark" and off the open internet
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- cleverDome, Inc.™, (cleverDome) a cybersecurity solution for the wealth management and legal industries that protects confidential consumer information by taking that information "Under the Dome"™ (i.e. secure and off the open Internet), and United Planners Financial Services (United Planners), a national wealth management firm that provides financial planning, investment management and insurance services, today announced a material cybersecurity offering focused on shielding the financial advisors of the firm – and, in tandem, the financial advisory firms' clients. The announcement was made at United Planner's annual conference, which was held May 24 and 25, 2022 in Scottsdale, Arizona.
"Can your most confidential information be taken off the open internet and secured? Yes, and we have proven it at United Planners via our DefendUP Cybersecurity Offering," said Sheila Cuffari-Agasi, EVP, Chief Revenue Officer of United Planners. "Thanks to cleverDome and their ingenious solution, our platform has been taken off the open internet and even includes tier 1 vendors like Orion and Redtail. Transmission of data between best-in-class technology vendors, advisors, their staff, and the back office is fast, smooth, stable, secure, and reliable. Advisors can rest assured knowing their client data is safe, protected, and off the open internet when doing business with United Planners."
BETTER THAN A TRADITIONAL VPN SERVICE
Mike Hallett, CEO of cleverDome said, "cleverDome has partnered with United Planner's DefendUP Platform to secure high-performance and affordable no-trust cybersecurity solutions, enabling wealth management and legal firms to finally leverage the internet in a safe fashion. cleverDome's solution is an always-on, securely-connected, blazingly-fast solution that materially trumps the benefit of VPN. We encourage other vendors to join the private network to provide this vital and maximum-security solution to their clients and advisors."
Brian Kobel, Product Manager of United Planner's DefendUP Platform, said United Planners has partnered with cleverDome and others to take its critical infrastructure off the open internet. "The future is here at United Planners. Our home office infrastructure and all communications with essential cloud providers have been taken off the open internet. Devices, users, and our leading cloud partner platforms, along with all transmissions of data between them are, in essence, hidden from the open internet. This enables essential cybersecurity controls and principles to be enforced, such as minimum endpoint device standards, protected cloud services, and no-trust access and communications. On- and off-boarding of users is also immensely simplified. Additionally, we can say goodbye to the security and performance issues associated with traditional VPN services," Kobel said.
"The United Planner's DefendUP program exists to further cybersecurity principles of confidentiality, integrity, and secure authentication. It is a holistic cybersecurity program offered to all United Planner's financial professionals," Kobel explained. "Offerings include services such as end-point protection and monitoring, security awareness and training, incident response, vendor cybersecurity due diligence, cybersecurity insurance, and secure networking. DefendUP's mission is to create confidence in a cloud-based industry for the financial professional and their clients by providing a secure and efficient work environment through safeguards within the UP network via technology and knowledge. The intent is to further allow financial professionals to focus more time and attention on their businesses and clients, rather than managing the complex and ever evolving details of cybersecurity."
OFF THE OPEN INTERNET AND SECURE
United Planners and cleverDome have partnered with Orion, Redtail, and others to include their infrastructure in this private network. This step addresses the CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) guidance as published on May 17, 2022. CISA published Alert (AA22-137A) Weak Security Controls and Practices Routinely Exploited for Initial Access | CISA.
The alert encourages companies to adopt a zero-trust security model that eliminates implicit trust in any one element, node, or service, and instead requires continuous verification of the operational picture via real-time information from multiple sources to determine access and other system responses. Zero-trust architecture enables granular privilege access management and can allow users to be assigned only the rights required to perform their assigned tasks.
The CISA alert also made note of security issues associated with traditional VPN solutions:
Specifically, remote services, such as a virtual private network (VPN), lack sufficient controls to prevent unauthorized access. During recent years, malicious threat actors have been observed targeting remote services. Network defenders can reduce the risk of remote service compromise by adding access control mechanisms, such as enforcing MFA (multi-factor authentication), implementing a boundary firewall in front of a VPN, and leveraging intrusion detection system/intrusion prevention system sensors to detect anomalous network activity.
cleverDome, when properly implemented, takes this a step further by eliminating the need for a VPN and replacing it with a more secure, faster, always-on, encrypted-connection between authenticated partners.
DEFENDUP BY UNITED PLANNERS SECURES CONFIDENTIAL DATA
Eric Clarke, CEO of Orion Advisor Solutions, stated, "I'm proud to partner with others in the industry such as cleverDome and United Planners and their DefendUP team looking for innovative ways to further secure confidential data on behalf of our collective customers."
United Planner's no-trust model provides an actionable technical framework for the protection of its critical infrastructure. Secure communications require authentication of any device or user that wants to communicate on the network. Once authenticated, devices or users are permissioned only to those services for which they are entitled. Data is encrypted, fractionalized, and disbursed as it moves along the private network. Cloud vendors joining the private network work to securely set up gateways and go through cybersecurity due diligence to evaluate the degree to which all members cybersecurity programs adhere to standards that enforce the confidentiality and integrity of client data. The solution, when properly implemented, results in a multi-network architecture that is dedicated to enforcing zero-trust principles while mitigating daily attacks and zero-day exploits.

More than a third don't think it's socially acceptable for them to date someone younger
TORONTO, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - What do Priyanka and Nick, Gabrielle and Dwayne, and Kim and Pete all have in common? They're 10 or more years apart in age – and the woman is older. These couples may wear their female-led age gap like a badge of honor, but many people still consider this type of relationship taboo. Cougar Life, the Canadian-based dating site designed to empower women, surveyed Americans* on their attitudes toward female-led age gap relationships and learned that while these types of pairings are generally accepted in the U.S., women are surprisingly more disapproving of them than men.
A 2022 Ipsos poll of more than 1,000 Americans found that 65% of men somewhat or strongly agree that it is socially acceptable for women to enter a female-led age gap relationship – that is, to date someone 10 or more years younger than them. It also revealed 70% of women are accepting of male-led age gap relationships, yet that number drops to 56% when the gap is female-led. Further, while 60% of unmarried men would be open to dating someone 10+ years older than them, only 40% of unmarried women would be open to dating someone 10+ years younger. This raises the question: Why are women less accepting?
"Research finds that we tend to stigmatize others' dating behavior when it might threaten our own," says Dr. Sarah E. Hill, psychologist and professor with expertise in women and sex. "In this case, young single women might be stigmatizing female-led age gap relationships to try to minimize the competition. They're decreasing the odds that their older counterparts will go after the men they would like to date themselves. Or, if they believe that those who date younger men are only looking for sex, they could see this as threatening their own ability to find an emotionally invested partner or keep their current partner from straying."
In reality, however, the data suggests that these relationships are often formed just like any other. More than four in 10 respondents (44%) who have been in a heterosexual female-led age gap relationship say they simply experienced an organic connection with someone and didn't let an age difference interfere. Another common reason why older woman/younger man relationships are formed is their ability to allow those within them to live in the moment and focus on having fun (27%). As for the specific benefits Americans perceive of actually being in an age gap relationship, women point to the open-mindedness of younger men and men highlight the emotional maturity of older women above all else.
Regardless of your current relationship status, which of the following, if any, would you personally consider a benefit of dating or marrying someone 10+ years younger than you?
Women say:
Regardless of your current relationship status, which of the following, if any, would you personally consider a benefit of dating or marrying someone 10+ years older than you?
Men say:
Perceived downsides to age gap dating do exist, with women feeling like they wouldn't have anything in common with a partner so different in age (25%), they wouldn't be attracted to them (17%), their partner wouldn't fit into their social circles (15%), as well as a fear of what other people might think (13%). However, these barriers are outweighed by the benefits, and the data suggests that many female-led age gap relationships are borne out of genuine intentions.
"People with 10, 20, or more years between them can experience genuine romantic connections the same way people closer in age can," Dr. Hill continues. "Just because heterosexual women are expected by society to form relationships with men who are older and more established than they are themselves, this doesn't mean they should – or will. Times have changed and so have women."
Women on Cougar Life know this firsthand and have taken the step to connect with likeminded people who are interested in developing meaningful connections – regardless of age, which they see as nothing more than a number.
"Our vibrant community of women do not see their station in life as a barrier to love, sex, or companionship," says Isabella Mise, Cougar Life's Senior Director of Communications. "Rather, they are emboldened to pursue pleasure and happiness on their own terms."
*These are the findings of an Ipsos poll conducted between May 5-6, 2022. For this survey, a sample of 1,005 adults age 18+ from the continental U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii was interviewed online in English. The poll has a credibility interval of plus or minus 3.8 percentage points for all respondents.
Cougar Life is a Canadian-based dating site for empowered women seeking younger men. With more than 8.7 million members since its initial launch in 2009, the company's mission is to offer a platform for women to confidently pursue pleasure and happiness on their own terms.

PITTSFIELD, Mass. (NEWS10) – The Pittsfield Fire Department was dispatched for a reported building fire at the Epworth Arms apartments around 9:55 p.m. Monday night. A passerby who called in the fire said they could see fire and smoke coming from a first-floor window.
While fire crews were on their way to the scene, dispatchers told them the fire alarms were now going off. Upon arrival, firefighters found an active fire in apartment 101 on the first floor, with heavy smoke spreading through the first-floor hallway.
Fire crews quickly knocked down the blaze and searched the large 3-story structure for any fire spread. There are 35 apartments in the building, according to officials, with 45 people living in them altogether.
The majority of the residents were told to stay in their apartments, with those already out of their apartments taken outside. The building was ventilated and eventually, all occupants were allowed to return to their apartments.
Pittsfield Fire Department fire investigation unit determined the cause of the fire to be careless cigarette smoking inside the apartment. The passerby’s early cell phone report and the quick and efficient response by Pittsfield Fire Department helped keep a potential high-loss tragedy contained to one apartment with no injuries to either residents or firefighters.
The lone apartment was condemned. Red Cross responded to assist with alternate housing.

VANCOUVER, BC, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Defense Metals Corp. ("Defense Metals" or the "Company") (TSX V : DEFN) (OTCQB: DFMTF) (FSE: 35D) is pleased to announce the initial results of alternative Acid Bake process testwork underway at SGS Lakefield on Wicheeda Rare Earth Element (REE) Project mineralized feed. The initial testwork shows that adoption of the Acid Bake process results in improved REE extraction, and potentially improvements in capital and operating costs.
The previous hydrometallurgical flowsheet that was included in the PEA (preliminary economic assessment[1]) was based on a more costly and complex gangue-leach – caustic-crack process. Upon joining the team, Defense Metals' lead metallurgical consultant, John Goode, P.Eng., recommended investigation of the acid-bake process for the Wicheeda ore, and the preliminary results show that the acid-bake process is more efficient, yielding >95% recovery of neodymium and praseodymium from flotation concentrate into a leach solution (Figure 1).
This hydrometallurgy program that started in December, which includes pilot-plant operations, will be concluded in the last quarter of 2022. It will provide data to allow a detailed design and capital- and operating-cost calculations. Updates on the test work will be provided periodically as results become available.
Luisa Moreno, President of Defense Metals commented: "We are delighted that the acid-bake process has yielded higher recoveries of rare earths and offers the potential to significantly reduce operating and capital costs, thus improving project economics and further establishing Wicheeda as a potential near-term source of rare earths."
- Testing of the acid-bake process started in late 2021, with over 20 tests on several concentrate samples completed to investigate the impact of bake conditions including acid addition, concentrate grade, and bake temperature.
- Tests continue to show that the sulphuric acid-bake approach is highly effective. Across all tests, including those under sub-optimal conditions, the neodymium/praseodymium extraction is 94% with better test results showing 97 to 99% extraction.
- Short-duration acid-bake pilot operations using the SGS Lakefield 165 mm diameter kiln are ongoing.
- Pregnant leach solution from the static acid-bake tests is now being tested for impurity removal and the precipitation of a refined rare-earth product suitable for sale.
In the AB-WL process, Wicheeda's mineral concentrate will be treated with concentrated sulphuric acid at high temperatures (200˚C-600˚C) converting the rare earths in the minerals to water-soluble sulphates, which readily dissolve during the subsequent water leach. The leachate is then purified, and the rare-earth elements recovered by a simple precipitation process. This process requires less equipment, and involves fewer steps and circuits, as schematically presented in Figure 2. Importantly, this flowsheet is the same as that used by Lynas at its Kuantan REE production facility and by Baogang at the Bayan Obo REE recovery plants (using a bastnasite and monazite ore). Most of the world's REE are produced by the Acid-Bake process.
The 100% owned 2,008-hectare Wicheeda Rare-Earth Project, located approximately 80 km northeast of the city of Prince George, British Columbia, is readily accessible by all-weather gravel roads and is near infrastructure, including power transmission lines, the CN railway, and major highways.
The Wicheeda Rare-Earth Project yielded a robust 2021 PEA that demonstrated an after-tax net present value (NPV@8%) of $517 million, and 18% IRR1. A unique advantage of the Wicheeda Rare-Earth Project is its ability to produce a saleable high-grade flotation concentrate. The PEA contemplates a 1.8 Mtpa (million tonnes per year) mill-throughput open-pit mining operation with 1.75:1 (waste:mill feed) strip ratio over a 19-year mine (project) life, producing an average of 25,423 tonnes REO annually. A Phase 1 initial-pit strip ratio of 0.63:1 (waste:mill feed) would yield rapid access to higher-grade surface mineralization in year one and payback of $440 million initial capital within five years. The Acid-Bake process is expected to improve upon the 2021 PEA economics.
The scientific and technical information contained in this news release, as it relates to the Wicheeda Rare-Earth Project, has been reviewed and approved by John Goode, P. Eng., who is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and has provided the technical information relating to metallurgy in this news release.

ST. LOUIS (KTVI) – A new study from Washington University in St. Louis says inappropriate antibiotics cause serious medical conditions for children, resulting in at least $74 million in excess health care costs in the United States.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, antibiotics “ONLY treat certain infections caused by bacteria.”
Even so, antibiotics are a common prescription for children.
“There is a general sense that antibiotics are benign, but, in fact, antibiotics are not benign,” said Dr. Anne Mobley Butler, an epidemiologist and assistant professor of infectious diseases at Washington University.
Past studies looked at a few hundred children and their antibiotic use, while Washington University researchers looked at 2.8 million children in the U.S. They examined insurance company claims to determine the cost of excess care and the negative side effects on children.
“The children who received inappropriate antibiotics had a higher risk of several complications, including skin rash, diarrhea … and a dangerous intestinal infection,” Butler said.
Children who were prescribed unsuitable antibiotics in outpatient settings such as doctors’ offices and urgent care centers were up to eight times more likely to develop complications.
“For influenza, we only saw about 4% of children receive antibiotics inappropriately. For bronchitis, we saw that 70% of children received antibiotics inappropriately,” Butler said.
The bottom line of the study is more education is needed for doctors and health care professionals in outpatient settings on guidelines for prescribing antibiotics and that parents should question pediatricians about their prescriptions
“When parents bring their children to the pediatrician’s office with a common bacterial or viral infection, they should feel empowered to ask questions and say my understanding is that we don’t need antibiotics for viral infection,” Butler said.
Many hospitals have stewardship programs for doctors and health care workers to learn about the appropriate use of antibiotics. Such programs are less common in outpatient settings.
The CDC says there are some common bacterial infections that don’t need antibiotics, including many sinus infections and some ear infections, since those ailments typically get better on their own.
“Taking antibiotics when they’re not needed won’t help you, and their side effects can still cause harm,” the CDC stated.

Actionable programs tailored toward the unique Sustainable Development Goals of individual cities will be rolled out to global clients to accelerate the industry's progress toward net zero targets.
Coaching, training and education opportunities will be provided to more than 20 domestic partners to build on their existing sustainability programs and support the implementation of new programs across business events hosted in Canada. In particular, the plan will focus on international association conferences, trade exhibitions, workshops and seminars, as well as corporate meetings and incentive group events.
"Developing and launching sustainable business event programs is not an option anymore. If our industry is to meet net zero targets by no later than 2050, the entire supply chain must work in partnership to find and implement powerful solutions," said Virginie De Visscher, Senior Director of Business Development, Economic Sectors, Destination Canada Business Events. "As one of the world's first national sustainability plans for business events, Destination Canada's Canadian Business Events Sustainability Plan will provide a national support arm to this supply chain and be the figurative rising tide that lifts all ships."
In-line with Destination Canada's corporate strategy, the Canadian Business Events Sustainability Plan will build on an evidence-based foundation established through a national destination assessment study. The study will evaluate where Canadian cities, as hosts for business events, stand today in terms of their existing sustainability initiatives and will be used to measure and track change in the years to come.
"We want to do this right and we want to hold ourselves accountable," added De Visscher. "By establishing a baseline for impact and assessing the Sustainable Development Goals and actions already being taken by our domestic partners – like Tourisme Montréal's new Harmonious Destination strategy in partnership with Aéroports de Montréal and the GHG Carbone Boréal offset program and Destination Vancouver's program with Binners' Project which has already enabled the city to divert 75% of the waste generated by business events, out of landfills – we're creating a marker for change. We all have a responsibility to economically, socially and environmentally benefit the host communities and global ecosystems we visit. We believe the Canadian Business Event Sustainability Plan will empower our team, our partners and our clients to do just that and ultimately foster a regenerative tourism ecosystem that produces positive net benefits for all Canadians."
In conjunction with its Canadian Business Event Sustainability Plan, Destination Canada has commissioned a Legacy Impact Study. Led by #MEET4IMPACT and Gaining Edge, the multi-year study will evaluate the beyond-tourism benefits international business events generate in host communities aligned with the core sustainability pillars of economic, social, and environmental enrichment.
"This plan gives us a real opportunity to move the needle on the sustainability of the business events industry. It's a milestone not only for Destination Canada but for our industry as a whole and we're so proud to be leading it."
Chantal Sturk-Nadeau
Executive Director, Business Events, Destination Canada
"Now is the time for Canada's tourism renaissance. While we are focused on revenue recovery in the immediate term, Destination Canada is striving to foster tourism growth that generates true wealth and wellbeing for Canada in the longer term, while enriching the lives of our guests. With a smarter approach to future growth, we can strengthen business prosperity, enliven socio-cultural vibrancy, and lift environmental sustainability. Our Business Events Sustainability Plan is an important step toward a healthier, more productive, and more successful sector."
Marsha Walden
President and CEO, Destination Canada
At Destination Canada, we believe that tourism enhances the quality of life of Canadians and enriches the lives of visitors. We believe that Canada's diversity, its greatest asset, is also, what touches travellers' hearts most deeply. Our mission is to influence supply, and build demand for the benefit of locals, communities and visitors through leading research, alignment with public and private sectors, and marketing Canada nationally and abroad.

Highlights include:
Hole C22-187 – Gran Bestia
- 0.82 g/t gold equivalent over 336 metres from surface
- Including 1.12 g/t gold equivalent over 60 metres and 1.68 g/t gold equivalent over 12 metres
- Extends existing higher-grade breccia area to northeast
Hole C22-185 – Cangrejos
- Five intervals above cut-off grade total 318 metres in a 410 metre interval from surface in a vertical hole
- Including 1.39 g/t gold equivalent over 38 metres
- Extends deposit margin to east
Lumina has decided to increase its drill program by 4,000 to 6,750 metres at Gran Bestia
- Success with northwest ridgeline step-out drilling has led Lumina to believe it can potentially add significant indicated mineral resources and enhance the already excellent strip ratio at the secondary pit
VANCOUVER, BC, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Lumina Gold Corp. (TSXV: LUM) (OTCQX: LMGDF) (the "Company" or "Lumina") is pleased to announce results from thirteen drill holes at its Cangrejos project (the "Project") in Ecuador. Seven of the reported drill holes are from Cangrejos and six are from Gran Bestia (see Table 1). To date, eighty three drill holes have been completed, totalling approximately 27,000 metres of drilling.
Lumina is also pleased to announce increasing the total drill program at Gran Bestia by an additional 4,000 to 6,750 metres. The drill program has been designed to define the northwestern step-out area to at least an indicated category of mineral resource, so that it can be incorporated into a Pre-feasibility study mine plan. In addition to adding indicated mineral resources to the pit, the program has the potential to enhance the already excellent strip ratio at Gran Bestia.
The original planned infill and step-out drill program will be completed in mid-June and the additional drilling will take approximately one and a half months to complete.
Hole C22-185 was drilled on the eastern margin of the deposit and intercepted 83m from 178m down the hole grading 1.19 g/t gold and 0.14% copper, for 1.39 g/t Au Eq., in hydrothermal breccias cutting strongly potassic and tourmaline altered quartz diorite mineralized with chalcopyrite and pyrite. Including intervals above and below this, a total of 318 metres exceeding the cut-off grade were drilled in the uppermost 410m from surface in hole C22-185 (see Table 1). This hole extends the eastern margin of the Cangrejos deposit.
Holes C22-186, C22-194 C22-195 were drilled in the southwestern quadrant of Cangrejos and all holes contain multiple intercepts reported in Table 1, including 30 metres from 54 metres down the hole grading 0.83 g/t gold and 0.08% copper, for 0.97 g/t Au Eq in hole C22-195 and 36 metres from 244 metres down the hole grading 0.75 g/t gold and 0.08% copper, for 0.88 g/t Au Eq in hole C22-186. Holes C22-184, C22-189 and C22-190 were drilled along the northern margin of the Cangrejos deposit and grades were typical of those encountered in this area, except for the previously reported vein encountered by hole C22-178 (10 metres from 148 metres down the hole grading 19.33 g/t gold with 0.12% copper for a gold equivalent 19.51 g/t).
At Gran Bestia, hole C22-187 intersected 12m grading 1.46 g/t gold with 0.12% copper for a gold equivalent of 1.68 g/t gold from surface, 60m grading 0.96 g/t gold with 0.10% copper for a gold equivalent of 1.12 g/t gold from 82m down the hole and 28m grading 1.01 g/t gold with 0.07% copper for a gold equivalent of 1.12 g/t gold from 200m.
These intervals extend the higher-grade breccia zone by approximately 50m to the northeast from those reported for hole C22-181 (see Figure 2 and Table 2). This higher grade breccia is further defined to the southwest by holes C22-170, C22-167 and C22-157. Hole C22-192, which was collared on top of the Gran Bestia ridge and angled east-northeast towards the higher grade breccia, contained six intervals but did not extend deep enough to intersect the breccia. At Gran Bestia, the corridor where the higher grade breccias occur over a northeast-southwest oriented axis, measures at least 500m in length and 200-300m in width. This irregular breccia has gradational margins and is open to northeast, to depth, and laterally in all directions except the southwest where it appears to have been closed off by drilling.
Also at Gran Bestia, holes C22-193 and C22-196 were drilled along the eastern margin of the deposit and encountered grades typical of this area. Similarly, hole C22-191 was drilled at the southern margin of the deposit and also encountered grades characteristic of the deposit limit.
Table 1: Drill Hole Results
Table 2: Intervals of higher-grade breccia preciously released by Lumina, shown in Figure 2. Note that drill holes 6 and hole 8 on Figure 2 (full designation C99-06 and C99-08 respectively), are not listed as they are historic in nature.
All Lumina sample assay results have been independently monitored through a quality control / quality assurance program that includes the insertion of blind standards, blanks and pulp and reject duplicate samples. Logging and sampling are completed at Lumina's secure facility located at the Cangrejos project. Drill core is sawn in half on site and half drill-core samples are securely transported to either Bureau Veritas Labs' ("BV") or ALS Labs' ("ALS") sample preparation facilities in Quito, Ecuador. Sample pulps are sent to BV's or ALS' chemical labs in Lima, Peru for analysis. Gold content is determined by fire assay of a 30 gram charge with total copper content determined by four-acid digestion with ICP finish. Both labs are independent from Lumina.
Lumina is not aware of any drilling, sampling, recovery or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data referred to herein.
Leo Hathaway, P.Geo., Senior Vice President of Lumina and the Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects for the Cangrejos Project has reviewed, verified and approved the contents of this news release and has verified the data underlying the contents of this news release.

The S3 is the first in the brand's new STAX SPIRIT product line and marks a huge step forward.
RICHMOND, BC, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovative audio specialists Edifier have released the S3, the brand's first premium Hi-Fi headphone designed for audiophiles and the first product in their new STAX SPIRIT product line – which brings absolute audio fidelity firmly to the foreground for Hi-Fi enthusiasts, music lovers, musicians, and producers alike.
For those who may not be familiar, STAX was a legendary Japanese audio brand which Edifier acquired in 2012. Best known for developing the first ever electrostatic headphones, or "EARSPEAKERS", the name 'STAX' has been at the forefront of every major sonic innovation since 1938. The S3 continues in this tradition and builds upon the name's renowned legacy and pursuit of faithfully reproducing a 'live' sound.
Inspired by the delicacy of exceedingly more precise electrostatic technology, the Edifier STAX SPIRIT S3 achieves a level of audio fidelity previously unheard of at this consumer level ($399.99). Designed with audio professionals and enthusiasts in mind, the S3 set a high technical threshold using finely tuned Planar technology. Planar combines both the benefits of Dynamic and Electrostatic Driver to achieve exceedingly detailed lower frequencies and clearer, more consistent high frequency performance. Utilizing a combination of Snapdragon audio technology; three patented planar driver solutions; Hi-Res Audio technology and innovative acoustic-friendly materials, the S3 delivers a truly memorable, lossless, and low distortion audio experience.
With a total weight of approximately 329g, the S3 are also much lighter than traditional planar headphones and boast a carbon fiber casing to ensure a comfortable fit and extended durability. Adopting the latest in wireless technology, the headphones are equipped with the latest Bluetooth 5.2 which allows for faster, more reliable transmission speeds, and multi-connectivity (with users able to connect two devices simultaneously). And finally, the high-capacity lithium battery holds a mighty 80 hours of battery life – ensuring that you don't get any unexpected interruptions whilst you're laid out on your living room sofa or sat upright in your home-recording studio.
Bringing together the ethos and dedication of the legendary audio pioneers STAX with the high-performance innovation of Edifier, the S3 and STAX SPIRIT line achieve an unmatched audio experience for a new generation of sonic lovers.

SANTIAGO, Chile, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ENEL AMÉRICAS S.A. (NYSE: ENIA) today announced that its Board of Directors has unanimously approved the voluntary delisting of its American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") from The New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), termination of its American Depositary Receipt ("ADR") facility and deregistration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") upon satisfaction of the requirements for deregistration. In connection with its intended delisting, Enel Américas notified the NYSE today that it will apply for voluntary delisting of its ADSs and has requested that the ADSs be suspended from trading on June 20, 2022. As a result, the last day of trading for the ADSs on the NYSE is expected to be on June 19, 2022.
1. Reasons for the Application for Voluntary Delisting of ADSs from the NYSE
Following the merger transaction and related tender offer that occurred in April 2021, its parent company, Enel S.p.A., now owns 82.3% of the total outstanding shares of Enel Américas' common stock and Enel Américas ADSs as of April 30, 2022 comprise only approximately 2.49% of the total outstanding shares of common stock. Enel Américas believes that the costs associated with continuing the listing of its ADSs on the NYSE exceed the benefits received by the company, as the primary market for the shares of Enel Américas not owned by Enel S.p.A. is now the Santiago Stock Exchange. As a result, Enel Américas has decided to file an application for voluntary delisting from the NYSE as part of its effort to reduce operational expenses.
2. Stock Exchanges on Which Enel Américas will Maintain its Listings
Enel Américas will maintain its listings on the Santiago Stock Exchange and the Chile Electronic Stock Exchange in Chile. Enel Américas has not otherwise arranged for the listing of the ADSs, ADRs or shares of its common stock on another national securities exchange in the United States or for quotation of such securities in any other quotation system.
3. Implementation Schedule of Application for Voluntary Delisting of ADSs from the NYSE*
* The schedule provided above, including the anticipated effective dates, may be delayed if the SEC objects to the delisting or requests an extended review or for other reasons.
4. Additional Information for ADS Holders
Enel Américas will direct Citibank, N.A., as depositary ("Citibank"), to terminate Enel Américas' ADR facility. Consequently, and in accordance with the deposit agreement, Citibank will provide at least 30 days' notice of termination to all ADS holders. Prior to termination of the deposit agreement, ADR holders are entitled to surrender their ADSs to Citibank for cancellation, and upon payment of the applicable fees, taxes and charges as provided in the deposit agreement, receive the underlying shares of common stock of Enel Américas. Following termination of the deposit agreement, Citibank will discontinue registration of transfers of the ADSs and suspend the distribution of dividends to ADS holders. Holders of ADSs should contact Citibank or, to the extent holding ADSs through a bank, broker or other nominee, should contact such bank, broker or nominee with any questions regarding the ADSs.
For inquiries regarding Enel Américas' ADSs and ADR facility, please contact:

International: +1-781-575-4555

E-mail: citibank@shareholders-online.com
Shareholder Services representatives are available Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern time in the U.S.
5. Future Actions
Enel Américas' reporting obligations under applicable U.S. federal securities laws are expected to continue after the delisting from the NYSE and termination of the ADR facility. Following satisfaction of the relevant deregistration conditions under the applicable U.S. federal securities laws, Enel Américas intends to terminate its reporting obligations under the applicable U.S. federal securities laws and to deregister all classes of its registered securities. Enel Américas intends to release further information on such deregistration and termination of reporting obligations at a later date.
Enel Américas reserves the right, for any reason, to delay any of the filings described above, to withdraw them prior to effectiveness, and to otherwise change its plans in respect of delisting, termination of the ADR facility and deregistration and termination of its reporting obligations under applicable U.S. federal securities laws in any way.

NEW YORK, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Fireblocks (www.fireblocks.com), the industry leader and award-winning digital asset and crypto technology provider, announced today it has appointed the former Head of Fintech at the Bank of England, Varun Paul, as its new Central Banking Digital Currency (CBDC) and Market Infrastructure Director. In this new role, Paul will serve on Fireblocks' Corporate Strategy team and report to Fireblocks' Vice President and Head of Corporate Strategy, Adam Levine.
Paul is a graduate of Cambridge University who earned a Master's degree in Economics. After college, Paul served in multiple roles at the Bank of England for 14 years, ultimately spearheading its fintech hub and future of finance initiatives.
"Varun brings a wealth of insight and experience from his tenure at the Bank of England that will be invaluable to our team as we engage and partner with leading central banks around the world," said Levine. "From CBDC developments to the tokenization of traditional financial assets, bridging digital assets and blockchain technologies to traditional institutions at scale will require strong working relationships with the central bank community. We are excited about Varun's ability to help support the digital asset strategy of central banks and market infrastructures."
As Fireblocks' first Director of CBDC and Market Infrastructure, Paul will lead the company's engagement with central banks and market infrastructures as they begin adopting digital asset and tokenization technologies.

This announcement comes on the heels of a wave of countries that have announced plans to adopt central bank digital currencies. In February, United States President, Joe Biden, signed an executive order that would direct federal agencies to look into the possible infrastructure needed to create a US CBDC due to the $3 trillion dollar in digital asset market cap as of November 2021. According to the IMF, around 100 countries are exploring CBDC projects or initiatives, including the UK, US, India, Singapore, and Switzerland.
"Fireblocks is the clear leader when it comes to providing secure, scalable technologies for digital asset and crypto-forward businesses," said Varun Paul, Fireblocks' new Director of CBDC and Market Infrastructure.

PHILADELPHIA, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC) has announced that Bethwyn Todd, FMC vice president and president of FMC Asia Pacific, has decided to leave the company for health reasons. Pramod Thota, president of FMC U.S.A., will succeed Todd as president of FMC's Asia Pacific region. Consistent with his new responsibilities, Thota was elected an FMC vice president, effective July 1, by the company's Board of Directors.
"I know this was a very difficult decision for Bethwyn," said Mark Douglas, FMC president and CEO. "She has been an exceptional leader throughout her 12-year tenure at FMC. As president of one of FMC's largest and complex regions, Bethwyn tripled revenue and significantly increased market share and profitability in Asia Pacific. However, her success extends well beyond the P&L statement. She has been an inspiring role model for all employees at FMC, and especially for women, demonstrating that professional success and personal achievement come not from luck, but rather from hard work and a passion to reach one's full potential. Although we are disappointed, we respect Bethwyn's decision and wish her the best in her new endeavors."
In his new role, Thota will report to Douglas and will relocate to the company's Asia Pacific region headquarters in Singapore. He joined FMC in 2012 as director of Strategy and Development, and in 2014 was named business director of FMC's non-crop business, Global Specialty Solutions. Thota became president of FMC India in 2017, and early last year was named president of FMC U.S.A.
"Pramod is a strong leader with exceptional commercial insights," said Douglas. "Having led our India business for four years, as well as serving on our Asia Pacific Operating Committee, he brings experience and deep knowledge of our business in one of the fastest-growing regions of the world. I know he will build on the many advances that Bethwyn led over the last seven years."

- Plan of Operations approves drilling on 28 new pads off patented claims
- Allows testing of 4 high priority exploration targets and 22 resource expansion and infill drill holes within the northwest, southwest and southern margins of the Lemhi Gold Deposit
- 5 new holes (>700 m) completed at Beauty with rush assays pending
- Completed 21 step out / resource expansion and 8 infill drill holes for a total of 7,926 metres on Phase 2 drilling at Lemhi. Samples from 14 drill holes are at the lab awaiting analysis.
Toronto Venture Stock Exchange: FMAN
VANCOUVER, BC, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Freeman Gold Corp. (TSXV: FMAN) (OTCQX: FMANF) (FSE: 3WU) ("Freeman" or the "Company") is pleased to report it has received approval of a Plan of Operations ("Plan") application to the USDA-Forest Service ("USFS"), Salmon and Challis National Forests, North Fork Ranger District, submitted in September 2021. The Plan was approved May 23, 2022, as POO-2021-081646.
"The approval allows us to drill test key extensions of the Lemhi Gold Deposit to maximize the near surface oxide ounce count. We are very much looking forward to drill testing exiting new targets in our underexplored land package. After our success at Beauty, we are very optimistic that additional gold mineralization can be discovered in the property package," commented Paul Matysek, Executive Chairman of the Company. "We are extremely pleased with the support and collaboration received from the USFS and its staff and hope we can build upon this positive relationship as we develop the Lemhi Deposit."
The Plan includes the construction of 28 drill pads of which 22 are selected for resource infill and expansion at the Lemhi Gold Deposit. These drill pads are situated within Freeman's Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") claims in the northwest, southwest and southern margins of the Lemhi Gold Deposit. The remaining six drill pads are designed to test high priority targets 2, 3 and 7 as defined in the new release dated May 6, 2021, which contain rock grab samples up to 38.23 grams per tonne gold ("g/t Au"). An additional drill pad has been permitted in the northwest portion of the claim block to partially test a coincidental Induced Polarization ("IP") Target, also defined by Freeman as Target 11. All these targets have never been drill-tested, like the Beauty Zone discovery drilled in late 2021 (see press release dated March 22, 2022).
- Target 2: Rock grab samples returned assays 2.55 g/t Au up to 32.8 g/t Au;
- Target 3: Rock grab samples in historic trenches reported 2.88 g/t Au up to 38.23 g/t Au;
- Target 7: Rock grab samples in historic trenches from 1.05 g/t Au up to 12.1 g/t Au;
- Target 11: Priority NNW trending IP anomaly.
The Company continues to drill at both the newly discovered Beauty Zone and the Lemhi Gold Deposit. To date, 37 drill holes have been completed, totalling 8,977 metres.
Five new diamond drill holes totalling 721.5 metres have been completed at the Beauty Zone, following up on the discovery hole which intersected 68.23 g/t Au over 6 metres (March 22, 2022). Drilling has stepped out up to 90 metres along strike and about 75 metres down dip, testing the extent of the high-grade mineralized structures encountered in the discovery holes. All new drill holes have intercepted the structure with widths varying between 2 and 6 metres with the exception of hole FG22-023 which encountered a 6-metre void where the structure was projected. The void is interpreted as the remains of historical mining. Three holes have been logged, sampled, and delivered to the assay laboratory. A rush has been placed on these samples to ensure timely return of results in order to plan the subsequent round of drilling.
As of May 30, 2022, a total of 29 new drill holes have been completed at Lemhi for a total of 7,926 metres. These holes have been primarily designed to test on strike extensions of the known resource (21 drill holes) as well as infill in certain parts of the gold deposit (8 drill holes). In particular, the drill program has focused on areas currently modelled as pit waste because of no or sparse drill data. All ounces added in these areas, even if low grade, will add value to the project as it will be converting in pit waste material to resources (Figure attached). An additional 19 holes approximately 4,800 m have been planned as part of the Phase 2 drilling program. See Figure 1.
Fourteen drill holes from Lemhi have been logged, sampled and sent to the laboratory. Analytical results are pending. Two drills continue to operate at Lemhi.
The Company also announces that, further to its news release of September 15, 2020, it has agreed to issue, subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), a further cash payment in the amount of US$100,000 and issue an additional 375,000 common shares in its capital in connection with the acquisition of the Moon #100 and Moon #101 unpatented mining claims ("Moon Claims"), located within the historical resource area of Lemhi gold project.
On September 4, 2020, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire 100% ownership of the Moon Claims for cash consideration of US$150,000 and share consideration of 375,000 Freeman common shares. Subsequent to the transaction and in order to overcome certain mineral title matters, the Company entered into a follow up purchase and sale agreement on June 23, 2021 (the "Execution Date"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to make payment of an additional US$100,000 and issue a further 375,000 common shares in its capital (the "Final Consideration Shares") within one year of the Execution Date in order to complete the Moon Claims acquisition.
Closing of the acquisition and the issuance of the Final Considerations Shares remains subject to certain conditions, including receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the Exchange. The deemed value per Final Consideration Share is $0.33 being the current Discounted Market Price (as defined in the policies of the Exchange) per common share of the Company. The Final Consideration Shares will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance of such securities.
Freeman Gold Corp. is a mineral exploration company focused on the development of its 100% owned Lemhi Gold property (the "Project"). The Project comprises 30 square kilometres of highly prospective land, hosting a near-surface oxide gold resource. The pit constrained National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43- 101") compliant mineral resource estimate is comprised of 749,800 oz gold ("Au") at 1.02 grams per tonne ("g/t") in 22.94 million tonnes (Indicated) and 250,300 oz Au at 1.01 g/t Au in 7.83 million tonnes (Inferred). See the NI 43-101 technical report titled "Maiden Resource Technical Report for the Lemhi Gold Project, Lemhi County, Idaho, USA" with an effective date of June 1, 2021, and signing date of July 30, 2021, as prepared by APEX Geoscience Ltd. and F. Wright Consulting Inc. available under the Company's profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). The Company is focused on growing and advancing the Project towards a production decision.

Iga Swiatek could be about to smash Serena Williams’ record winning streak.
Swiatek, who turned 21 on Tuesday, won her first grand slam title two years ago at Roland Garros. Now, with a winning streak of 32 matches and the longest unbeaten run on the women’s tour since Williams bagged 34 victories in succession in 2013, she is the favorite to win this year’s French Open.
But the Polish star won’t let the pressure phase her.
“[T]here’s no point of thinking, ‘Oh, this streak is getting long. When am I going to lose?’ Or, I don’t know, is it even possible to win so many matches?” she told the WTA Insider Podcast.
“I just don’t think about it. I honestly kind of believe that the sky’s the limit and I can go even forward.
“That kind of attitude of just looking forward, not thinking what’s already happened really helped me because I’m also saving energy by not doing that. I’m pretty proud of myself,” she added.
Though it isn’t always plain sailing for Swiatek, whose winning streak was under threat at the French Open on Monday.
She defeated Chinese teenager Zheng Qinwen in the fourth round, but not before Zheng took a set off the world No. 1.
Zheng, 19, looked on track for a major upset when she claimed the opener in a tiebreak before Swiatek took control to win 6-7(5) 6-0 6-2 for her 32nd straight victory.
“It wasn’t easy to find solutions and to find other tactics and do something differently, because I wasn’t sure what I was doing wrong,” she said.
Swiatek started to regroup in an unorthodox way, choosing to sing Dua Lipa in her head instead of focusing on the “technical stuff.”
“That’s not the first time. I’m always singing something,” she revealed.
Sport runs through Swiatek’s family, with her father rowing for Poland at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.
A family tradition
“I think we’re always focused on work because of him, because he had high expectations that we were going to get good grades and we were going to have good practices,” she previously told CNN.
“Sometimes these expectations are not a good thing because they are pressure for a child, but in my case, I think it really helped me because I learned how to be professional.
“My sister got injured when she was 15 and she stopped playing tennis, but she has a great brain and she is studying really well so I think we’re both going to be successful.”
Swiatek’s dominance comes at a time when there is no clear challenger to her winning streak.
Ashleigh Barty, who was dominant on every surface having won Wimbledon, the French Open, and the Australian Open, suddenly retired from tennis earlier this year at 25.
Victory in the French capital would also make Swiatek the first woman to win six consecutive tournaments since Justine Henin did so between 2007 and 2008.
“I think the key is going to be just doing the same stuff I did before. Right now, at these tournaments, I already faced a lot of pressure. So hopefully the different kind of pressure that we have at a grand slam isn’t going to overwhelm me,” she told the WTA Insider podcast.
“But I’m trying to accept that the streak someday is going to finish. It’s physically and mentally hard to keep doing the same job every week because we are also humans.
“So I’m just going to try to find a little bit more distance to it and just treat the grand slam as any other tournament and maybe enjoying what’s around a little bit more – enjoying that we have one day off between matches because here it was pretty intense and I didn’t even get to see Rome. So in Paris, I hope it’s going to be different.”

TAMPA BAY, Fla., May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- KnowBe4, the provider of the world's largest security awareness training and simulated phishing platform, today announced the release of an updated version of The Economic Impact of Cyber Attacks on Municipalities report.
KnowBe4 updated the research on financial costs, reputational effects, level of public trust and other impacts that cyber attacks have had on municipalities in recent years. The report breaks down the impact of ransomware attacks against state and local governments into five target areas: the average financial loss from state and local governments, the denial of service to citizens due to financial loss, the frequency/types of attacks and the risk of recurring attacks, the challenge of allocating capital to prevent attacks and the decline of economic investment in municipalities. Additionally, the new report revealed that ransomware is still the preferred method of cyber attacks against municipalities and continues to be a leading consequence of social engineering. However, the results of such attacks prove to be even more catastrophic as many state and local governments work through the variety of challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and the shift in the workforce that followed as the majority of employees began working remotely.
Key findings from the report include:
- Many organizations' cybersecurity budgets are underfunded or do not exist at all. According to a study conducted by the National Association of State Information Officers (NASCIO), only 18 states have a cybersecurity budget. Additionally, only 16% of state's cybersecurity budgets increased by 10% or greater since 2018.
- Only 40% of CISOs said they felt only somewhat confident that their state information assets are adequately protected from cyberattacks targeting local government and public higher education entities, according to a Deloitte-NASCIO study.
- The average ransomware payment in the first half of 2021 was $570,000, while the average ransom amount demanded by cybercriminals for that time period was $5.3 million.
- According to Accenture, from January to August of 2021, these five ransomware variants made up 75% of observed attacks: Hades, DoppelPaymer, Ryuk, Egregor and REvil/Sodinokibi topping the list.
- In addition to the direct monetary impact, the downtime caused by ransomware can be extremely disruptive. In Q3 of 2021, Coveware reported that on average, organizations faced 22 days of business interruption.
"Ransomware attacks continue to plague state and local governments on an all too regular basis," said Stu Sjouwerman, CEO, KnowBe4. "Without proper security awareness training and education along with necessary funding to combat such social engineering threats, municipalities are left defenseless against cyber attacks that could be prevented. In recent years, many healthcare, law enforcement, higher education institutions and other critical services have had to literally pay the price, sometimes in the millions, to overcome ransomware attacks. As the world continues to change and work through the COVID-19 pandemic, the time to act and prepare for potential cyber attacks is now".

ABSTRACT-
Amid the COVID-19 crisis, the global market for Cut Flowers estimated at US$33.2 Billion in the year 2022, is projected to reach a revised size of US$40.7 Billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 4.8% over the analysis period. Rose, one of the segments analyzed in the report, is projected to grow at a 5.4% CAGR, while growth in the Chrysanthemum & Gerbera segment is readjusted to a revised 4.8% CAGR. The coronavirus outbreak has presented challenges for the flower trade globally, with the industry being hit hard by the travel curbs, quarantines, social distancing measures and lockdowns. COVID-19 put a pause on all activities like home stagings, photo shoots, and decorator shows where flowers were widely used, leading to a steep fall in demand for flowers. The floral industry's worldwide supply chain that encompasses florists placing wholesale orders to the largest Dutch flower auction houses in the world came to a virtual halt during the early months of the pandemic. The Netherlands-based floral auction houses through which nearly 40% of the global flower production pass, have also been affected by the pandemic. A leading auctioneer, Royal FloraHolland that managed 4 large auction sites recording over 100,000 transactions daily, witnessed its activities grind to a complete halt with the pandemic's outbreak. With rose prices reaching all-time low, the auction house was forced to destroy early 70% of its supplies at its facility in Naaldwijk causing huge losses. The floral market's collapse has also created problems for cultivation sources. Leading rose producers such as the Kenya-based Nini Flowers faced dipping sales due to fixed costs of cultivation, resulting in destruction of cultivated flowers. American farmers were forced to dump their crops before they perished. Further, large scale unemployment resulted in several flower farms.
COVID-19 pandemic impacted businesses at various levels of the supply chain, from tulip auctions in the Netherlands, to lily growers in Colombia. The pandemic also has taken a toll on Kenya, which is the third biggest cut flowers exporter globally. Growers selling their produce abroad had to face additional challenges due to border closures, flight cancellations, port lockdowns and such other logistical issues. The pandemic led to several countries closing down their borders while in others, extended formalities that included screening for COVID-19 led to delays in transportation times. Additional costs had to be borne by floriculture traders. Cut flowers are generally transported in passenger jets. In Europe, majority cut roses come from Ethiopia and Kenya. Flower industry in East Africa collapsed due to decline and air freight restrictions in major markets. The fast-spreading pandemic also led to major declines in prices of cut flowers that are globally traded. Companies that supplied cut flowers were more severely impacted compared to those that offered trees, indoor plants, shrubs or hedges.
Beyond the many challenges, post pandemic growth in the market will be led by changing lifestyles, more emphasis on style and quality. Cut flowers industry is expected to benefit from the growing demand for specialty cut flowers. Organic cut flowers market is expected to take some of the thunder of chemically produced cut flowers market over the coming years, as the demand is increasing for natural products that are free from pesticides and chemicals. Traditionally flowers have been sold through specialist retailers such as florists as well as kiosks at places with high footfalls as flower purchases are usually conducted on the go. However, e-commerce is changing the rules of the game with innovative solutions in terms of service as well as designs. Buying flowers online, users are provided with a wider range of designs to choose from, and personalize. Moreover, users can send flowers from the comfort of their homes to any place in the world. Though the penetration of e-commerce is relatively low, the trend is picking up and the COVID-19 pandemic has provided a fillip to the segment, given the fears of going out. Moreover, in contrast to other retail markets, the middle aged and above demographic segments are among the largest users of e-commerce platforms when shopping for flowers. Given the comforts and wider choice provided by online platforms, e-commerce channels of are expected to offer the highest growth prospects.
Western Europe, Japan and North America are the world's leading cut flower consumers. In the countries such as Japan, the United States, India, and China the local growers satisfy most of the demand for cut flowers. Carnations and roses are the major growing and selling cut flowers worldwide. Lilies and tulips also account for a major market share of the total world cut flower production, imports and consumption of cut flowers. Established flower growing countries face intense competition from various new countries entering into the cut flowers market. The major competition is between the flower producers of the tropical regions where the cost of production is low and growers and exporters of the foremost flower consuming nations where the costs of production are very high. Cut flower exporters from developing nations are gaining market share at the expense of existing market players from developed nations. The leading flower growers are trying to regain the market share by increasing the production and quality of the flowers and through innovation and diversification. The significance of local production is decreasing whereas world cut flowers imports are rising. Competition in the global cut flower industry is expected to become more severe, intercontinental and concentrated. Rapid innovations provide a potential opportunity for high-cost producers. Improved quality and growth in production also offer opportunities to market players across the globe. Small firms are likely to form strategic alliances and consolidations with larger companies in order to survive in the highly competitive and perishable cut flowers market. The market is expected to attract many new entrants despite the constraints such as huge capital requirement, high costs of production, high technical knowledge and high costs of labor in most parts of the world.

Drilling to be incorporated into an updated resource model for mine planning of the high-grade underground zones
This news release constitutes a "designated news release" for the purposes of the Company's prospectus supplement dated October 15, 2021, to its short form base shelf prospectus dated September 10, 2021.
TSX: GPR | NYSE American: GPL
VANCOUVER, BC, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Great Panther Mining Limited (TSX: GPR) (NYSE-A: GPL) ("Great Panther" or the "Company"), a growth-oriented precious metals producer focused on the Americas, reports drill results for an additional 29 holes at the Urucum North ("URN") underground project at the Company's wholly owned Tucano Gold Mine ("Tucano") in Brazil. URN is the most northern of a series of open pits distributed along the 7-kilometre-long belt that hosts Tucano.
Surface diamond drilling focused on a zone of multiple plunging high-grade lodes beneath the URN open pit where underground mine development studies are advancing. The resource conversion drill program, which commenced in 2021, was completed in April 2022 and totalled 18,948 metres ("m") in 48 drill holes. Drill results from the first 19 holes were announced in a news release dated July 22, 2021. Highlights from the remainder of the drill program are presented below and significant intercepts are presented in Table 1.
Highlights (all intervals are estimated true mineralization widths)
- 21URNDD028 2.5 m @ 5.80 g/t Au from 342 m
- 21URNDD028 3.8 m @ 4.71 g/t Au from 409 m
- 21URNDD049 3.9 m @ 7.65 g/t Au from 114 m
- 21URNDD051 3.0 m @ 4.65 g/t Au from 139 m
- 21URNDD053 3.7 m @ 6.20 g/t Au from 432.2 m
Great Panther Chair and Interim CEO, Alan Hair, commented: "The zones of deeper, higher-grade mineralization being delineated at Urucum North demonstrate the potential for additional production from these underground resources in parallel with open pit operations at Tucano. In addition to the Urucum North underground zone, exploration has identified several similar potential high-grade zones associated with other pits along the seven-kilometre belt, which may also support underground production and warrant additional drilling. Drill results from the Urucum North underground will be incorporated into an updated underground resource estimate."
Table 1: Significant intersections from drilling program (post-July 22, 2021)
Notes:
- Significant results are intersections that gave greater than 6 g/t Au*m (est. true width)
- URNDD = URN diamond drilling
- Grades over 2 g/t cut-off, max 2 m internal dilution
- True widths are estimates based on current geologic knowledge but may vary after resource modelling. Drill hole inclinations vary between 55° and 75° and mineralization is sub-vertical. Intersection azimuths may be slightly oblique to the mineralized zones as a result of access constraints due to topography and pit development
- Assays are first carried out by the Tucano Laboratory and all resource model assays are re-analyzed by the Certified SGS Laboratory in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. On receipt, following QA/QC approval, the SGS assays replace the Tucano assays in the resource database
Diamond drilling was primarily focused on the URN high-grade zone (HGZ1), which lies less than 100 m below the planned URN final pit shell. In addition to the HGZ1 lode, drilling also identified an additional four high-grade lodes, which are being incorporated into the mine plan for Tucano. These lodes are expected to allow access to ore during early stages of ramp development prior to reaching the HGZ1 zone. The URN gold resource comprises five parallel, tabular bodies with grades ranging from 2 to 121 g/t gold and true thicknesses that range from a minimum true mining width of 2 m to 7 m (Figure 1). The gold mineralization is associated with pyrrhotite and hosted in banded iron formation and calc-silicate units. High-grade ore shoots plunge 20-30 degrees to the north.
Drill samples are analyzed for gold by fire assay at Great Panther's onsite laboratory, with all samples to be included in the resource model re-analyzed at the certified SGS Laboratory in Belo Horizonte, where multi-element ICP analyses are also undertaken. The data is being modelled with updated mineralization and lithology wireframes being prepared for an updated resource model to support underground mine development planning.
Engineering studies for underground development at URN are currently in progress. The drilling plan and mine planning focus is on near-term development and production largely above the -200 masl level (Figure 1) and will result in access to the top of the main high-grade zone (HGZ1) as well as provide access for reserve drilling along deeper parts of the HGZ1 and sub-parallel lodes and further infill drilling on the deeper, sub-parallel, plunging high-grade zone, shown in Figure 1.
QUALIFIED PERSONS
On behalf of Great Panther, Nicholas Winer, Fellow AusIMM supervised the preparation of data for inclusion in, and approved, this news release. Mr. Winer is a non-independent Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
The Qualified Person has reviewed the Tucano QA/QC program. The QA/QC program for drill core includes the regular insertion of blanks, standards, and duplicates into sample batches, diligent monitoring of assay results, and necessary remedial actions. Resource drilling samples are first assayed at the Tucano onsite laboratory. All intervals with anomalous gold are submitted and re-analyzed by the Certified, SGS Geosol laboratory in Belo Horizonte by 50 g fire-assay. All SGS Geosol assays, after diligent monitoring of QA/QC and necessary remedial actions, supersede the Tucano assay results in the database for MRMR grade estimation. In addition to the data verification methodology described above, personal inspections of the Tucano property have also been completed.

Such forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding (i) the potential for additional gold production resulting from exploration activities at URN, (ii) the Company's ability to commence production from underground resources in parallel with open pit operations, (iii) the Company's ability to extend Tucano's mine life, (iv) the potential for additional high-grade zones associated with other surface mines to support underground production, (v) the expectations that drilling and mine planning will result in access to the top of HGZ1 and provide access for reserve and infill drilling further below, (vi) the success of future mine and operational planning and the Company's ability to unlock the larger potential of the region at Tucano, and (vii) the Company's ability to grow as a result of exploration or from accretive acquisition opportunities in South America.
These forward-looking statements and information reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and are necessarily based upon a number of assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company, are inherently subject to significant operational, business, economic and regulatory uncertainties and contingencies. These assumptions include: continued operations and exploration work, including plans to complete infill drilling at Tucano in 2022 without significant interruption due to COVID-19 or any other reason; the accuracy of the Company's geological modeling at Tucano and the assumptions upon which they are based, ore grades and recoveries; prices for gold, silver, and base metals remaining as estimated; currency exchange rates remaining as estimated; prices and inflation rates for energy inputs, labour, materials, supplies and services (including transportation); all necessary permits, licenses and regulatory approvals for the Company's operations and exploration work are received in a timely manner on favourable terms, including permitting for tailings dam construction in Tucano; Tucano will be able to continue to use cyanide in its operations; the Company will not be required to impair Tucano as the current open pit mineral reserves are depleted through mining; the ability to procure equipment and operating supplies without interruption including the Company's ability to work with its current mining contractor in Tucano, U&M, to resolve equipment availability issues and restore contracted volume deficits without escalating to a formal dispute; the ability to fully mobilize the Company's new mine contractor, MINAX, in Q2; that there are no material unanticipated variations in the cost of energy or supplies; operations not being disrupted by issues such as pit-wall failures or instability, mechanical failures, labour disturbances and workforce shortages, illegal occupations or mining, seismic events, and adverse weather conditions; the Company's ability to comply with environmental, health and safety laws; the Company's ability to comply with Brazil's new tailings dam criteria and review processes and to secure the required permits for new tailings storage capacity beyond mid-2024 at competitive costs; and the Company's ability to maintain its stock exchange listings. The foregoing list of assumptions is not exhaustive.
These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements to be materially different. Such factors include, among others, risks and uncertainties relating to: the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's ability to operate and conduct exploration work, including drilling plans, as anticipated, and the risk of an unplanned partial or full shutdown of the Company's mines and processing plants, whether voluntary or imposed, which would adversely impact the Company's revenues, financial condition and ability to meet its production and cost guidance and fund its capital programs and repay its indebtedness; the inherent risk that estimates of Mineral Reserves and Resources may not be accurate and accordingly that mine production will not be as estimated or predicted; planned exploration activities, including plans for further exploration drilling and infill drilling may not result in the discovery of new Mineral Resources/definition of Mineral Resources and readers are cautioned that Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves have no defined economic viability; there is no certainty that the Company will be able to define a mineral resource with infill drilling and the Company is undertaking new mineral resource studies at URN and is not treating the AMC historical estimate as a current mineral resource estimate; open pit mining operations at Tucano have a limited established mine life and the Company may not be able to extend the mine life for Tucano open pit operations beyond 2025 as anticipated; gold, silver and base metal prices may decline or may be less than forecasted; fluctuations in currency exchange rates (including the U.S. dollar to Brazilian real exchange rate) may increase costs of operations; operational and physical risks inherent in mining operations (including pit wall collapses, tailings storage facility failures, environmental accidents and hazards, industrial accidents, equipment breakdown, unusual or unexpected geological or structural formations, cave-ins, flooding and severe weather) may result in unforeseen costs, shut downs, delays in production and drilling and exposure to liability; potential political and social risks involving Great Panther's operations in a foreign jurisdiction; the potential for unexpected costs and expenses or overruns; shortages in the ability to procure equipment and operating supplies without interruption including the inability of the Company to resolve concerns over lost production and equipment availability issues with contractor U&M and avoid any escalation to a formal dispute; employee and contractor relations; relationships with, and claims by, local communities; the Company's inability to obtain all necessary permits, licenses and regulatory approvals in a timely manner on favourable terms; changes in laws, regulations and government practices in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates; legal restrictions related to mining; diminishing quantities or grades of mineral reserves as properties are mined; operating or technical difficulties in mineral exploration; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; the Company's inability to meet its production forecasts or to generate the anticipated cash flows from operations could result in the Company's inability to meet its scheduled debt payments when due or to meet financial covenants to which the Company is subject or to fund its exploration programs as planned; the Company's ability to raise additional financing to fund its operations, capital requirements or maturing debt obligations as required; the ability to maintain and renew agreements with local communities to support continued operations; ability to identify or complete acquisition opportunities or to complete acquisitions that are accretive to the Company; the potential for incremental closure bond requirements with respect to the Company's Coricancha mine and whether such requirements would have a material and adverse effect on the Company's liquidity and could require additional financing to be raised; the risk that the Company does not maintain its listing on the exchanges where it trades and that any delisting may have a material impact on the liquidity of its stock and its ability to raise capital; the potential for tailings storage facility permitting regulations in Brazil to negatively impact the Company's ability to maintain its existing tailings facilities without any modifications and to secure new tailings capacity at competitive costs or at all; and other risks and uncertainties, including those described in respect of Great Panther in its most recent annual information form and material change reports filed with the Canadian Securities Administrators available at www.sedar.com and reports on Form 40-F and Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available at www.sec.gov.
There is no assurance that these forward-looking statements will prove accurate or that actual results will not vary materially from these forward-looking statements. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated, described, or intended. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward looking statements. Forward-looking statements and information are designed to help readers understand management's current views of our near- and longer-term prospects and may not be appropriate for other purposes. The Company does not intend, nor does it assume any obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, changes in assumptions, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable law.

- Designed for access and affordability, the FreeStyle Libre 3 system will be available at the same price as previous versions, which is one-third the cost of other competing continuous glucose monitoring systems available today.3,4
ABBOTT PARK, Ill., May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Abbott (NYSE: ABT) today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared its next-generation FreeStyle Libre 3 system for use by people four years and older6 living with diabetes.
"The FreeStyle Libre 3 system is a direct result of listening to our customers – and giving them the innovation and sensing technology they've been looking for," said Jared Watkin, senior vice president of Abbott's diabetes care business. "It's a game changer for the millions of people living with diabetes. They'll be able to manage their health minute-by-minute with the world's smallest and thinnest sensor and most accurate 14-day continuous glucose monitoring system."
FreeStyle Libre 3 System Features:
- Greatest accuracy – with a 7.9% overall mean absolute relative difference (MARD), the FreeStyle Libre 3 system is the most accurate 14-day continuous glucose monitor (CGM) with readings sent directly to a smartphone every minute.6 It's the first CGM to demonstrate a sub-8% MARD1,6 – which is the standard way to measure continuous glucose accuracy – the lower percentage, the better.
- Smallest and thinnest – at the size of two stacked U.S. pennies (worn inconspicuously on the back of one's upper arm), it's the smallest and thinnest4,7 CGM sensor in the world.
- Even easier to use – with a one-piece applicator the sensor is uncomplicated to apply.4
- Strongest Bluetooth® integration with a range of up to 33 feet – 50% further range than other CGMs.4,8
Priced for Access and Affordability
Abbott will price the FreeStyle Libre 3 system the same as previous versions9 with the goal of enabling the greatest number of people living with diabetes to benefit from the next-generation technology.
"We continue to disrupt the notion that CGMs have to sacrifice quality or accuracy for affordability," said Watkin. "Access to breakthrough diabetes technologies should not be out of reach for the people who can benefit most from them. Innovation for access and affordability is a core pillar in Abbott's business and sustainability strategy."
There is a vast and growing need for new innovations in diabetes care. There are now more than 133 million Americans living with diabetes or prediabetes (nearly half of the U.S. population), according to the American Diabetes Association.10 The organization also notes that diabetes is the most common underlying chronic condition in the U.S. and 1.4 million Americans aged 18 years or older are newly diagnosed with diabetes each year, which equates to one every 23 seconds.10
"I have seen real-world evidence that diabetes technologies like CGMs have helped my patients safely achieve improved glycemic control," said Dr. Eugene E. Wright, Jr., consulting associate at Duke University's department of medicine. "I applaud Abbott for making their CGM system the most affordable and addressing disparities in care so patients living with diabetes can avoid complications and optimize their quality of life."
Digital Health Tools
The FreeStyle Libre 3 system was cleared for use with the FreeStyle Libre 3 iOS and Android mobile apps, which enable users to view their glucose levels in real time, track their glucose history and trends, and set up optional alarms plus notifications to help them be alerted of serious medical events like hypoglycemia.11
The mobile app integrates with the FreeStyle Libre digital ecosystem, including LibreView and LibreLinkUp,12,13,14 enabling caregivers and healthcare professionals to remotely monitor loved ones and patients as needed.
Availability
The FreeStyle Libre 3 sensor will be available at participating pharmacies later this year.15
Recognized Health Tech Innovator
Over the last year, the FreeStyle Libre 3 system has been recognized multiple times16 as a top health tech innovation by:
- Consumer Technology Association's 2022 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Best Health & Wellness Innovation
- The Edison 2022 Gold Award for Science & Medical, Technology & Tools
- Business Intelligence Group's 2022 Healthcare Innovation Award
- Medical Device and Diagnostic Industry's 2022 Medical Design Excellence Bronze Award for Digital Health Products and Mobile Medical Apps; and
- Lucintel's 2021 Product Innovation Award in the Biosensors Market

Iconic fashion brand makes a capital investment in technology to successful results
CAMPBELL, Calif., May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Centric Software® is delighted to announce the release of a success story about its customer, Guess.
Guess is an iconic fashion brand created over 40 years ago by the Marciano brothers. Since then, Guess has grown from a denim pioneer into a global brand with over 1,600 retail stores worldwide and offers collections for men, women and children, as well as a wide range of accessories, from jewelry, fragrances, eyewear, to watches, shoes and bags.
Guess was on a path to replace Excel spreadsheets for buying and merchandising with an end-to-end digital solution to manage their 8,000-SKU-collections, with 4 collections released per year.
Then, the pandemic hit, bringing with it uncertainty. Capital spending came to a halt. Guess faced the same issues as the rest of the fashion industry, however in a bold move, the company decided to invest in technology during a time of market disruption, to bolster planning with Centric Planning. Says Daniel Botey, VP of Global Inventory Management at Guess Europe Sagl, "...Our need for a tool was even more urgent under the circumstances. So we revived the [planning] project during the first lockdown."
Their foresight paid off. Margins have gone up even though foot traffic in their retail stores is still down. This was due in large part to Guess' pre-pandemic game plan to increase margins, but the ability to shift merchandise across channels—something that was very difficult to do in a timely manner prior to Centric Planning—also played a role. Mr. Botey points out, "If we had had a lot of inventory, we could not have done it. Centric Planning has been an enabler to truly follow our strategy and increase our profitability in a very, very big way."
To learn more about how this powerhouse brand shortened retail planning from a month down to a week, how they achieved flexibility and how there is one single source of the truth for all product data, read the full story!

INDIANAPOLIS, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- American College of Education (ACE), accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and a leading provider of online and affordable higher education, announced that its president, Dr. Shawntel Landry, will be stepping down after nearly 13 years in leadership roles at the college.
Landry, who has overseen an era of record student growth and exceptional performance by the institution in its finances and across all areas of specialties, said she plans to take time off to consider the next steps in her education-centric career.
She will stay until Sept. 30 to help the Board of Trustees fill the top post and assist in an orderly transition at ACE, widely recognized for offering high-quality, affordable doctorate, master's and bachelor's degrees, along with micro-credentials and graduate-level certificate programs.
"I've had the privilege and honor to lead this amazing college of talented individuals during an extraordinary stretch," Landry said. "Now is the time to move on to the next chapter of my life's work, and I leave knowing our faculty and staff are well positioned to keep up the momentum that has seen ACE deliver much-needed support for professionals nationwide."
The board will begin a national search for a new president and CEO, a change in title and scope that reflects ACE's recent program enhancements and growth plans, including educational partnerships offering online graduate credit courses for teacher license renewal and professional development; expansion of STEM, health and wellness and other related degrees; and accelerated efforts to help students make an immediate return on their investment.
ACE's unique model of using real-world experience in its courses allows faculty to share their expertise with students for practical application in day-to-day practices, networking, career advancement and more.
"We are indebted to Shawntel, whose dedication to excellence has made our college a stronger, more dynamic and more visible institution. It's been a transformational tenure that has elevated ACE as a leader in online higher education programs. She has been instrumental in setting us on a course toward even greater eminence and impact, and we wish her all the best in her further endeavors," said the Board of Trustees chair, Dr. Jeri Nowakowski.
Landry, an advocate for student-first approaches to scalable operations and programming, joined ACE in 2009 as a senior vice president. Becoming president in 2013, she led the college through development of a new mission, vision, and strategic plan. That included adding the new disciplines of healthcare, nursing, and business.
Under her leadership, ACE's student population has grown over 100%, with more than 7,500 current students and a network of more than 31,000 alumni across 50 states and 84 countries.
ACE has kept costs low, with 85% of students graduating with no student debt. Since 2012, students have received more than $9 million in institutional scholarships and grants, including $1.9 million in the most recent year.
Program expansion has been a major focus as the graduate college that started with two main education offerings now has 75 programs and bachelor's, master's, specialist, and doctorate degrees in education, healthcare, nursing and business.
"Together, we have grown the college in so many ways, touching so many lives," Landry said. "All of this was achieved as a result of our mission, our heart for service and our commitment to a student-first culture. I look forward to seeing the college continue to prosper and grow."
ACE is top-ranked among institutions of higher learning in the number of degrees it has conferred in key, competitive disciplines, based on the most recent U.S. Department of Education data. That includes being No. 1 for most degrees conferred in health and wellness education, STEM education and English as second language/bilingual education.
It is No. 2 in degrees conferred in educational technology, educational leadership and literacy. At the master's in education level, ACE is ranked third for most conferred degrees nationwide. At the doctorate in education level, ACE is ranked ninth for most conferred degrees nationwide.
Currently, ACE has eight state-level non-profit partnerships, two national non-profit partnerships, more than 2,300 academic or education partnerships, more than 250 partners in the healthcare and business fields. Together, these partnerships help ACE reach more than an estimated 3 million professionals across the country.
Among other milestones during Landry's tenure:
- Across all programs, a 90% satisfaction rate among students and an overwhelming job preparedness rate.
- Employer satisfaction with graduates rated at 95% in a survey last year.
- Six consecutive years of Best Places to Work awards in Indiana.
- A winner of the 2022 Top Workplaces USA award, a national award recognizing its support of a flexible, inclusive and innovative environment for all employees.
- A winner of four First Quarter 2022 Culture Awards through the national Top Workplaces USA program: Innovation, Work-Life Flexibility, Leadership, and Purpose and Values.
- The first company in Indiana that is both a Certified B Corp and a Public Benefit Corporation, emphasizing its commitment to community development, sustainable programming and expansive scholarship opportunities.
Before joining ACE, Landry worked in K-8 classrooms, later serving as a curriculum writer, editor, and director for Voyager Learning. She also worked in higher education as a researcher at the Lyle School of Engineering at Southern Methodist University. She holds a bachelor's degree in elementary education and a master's degree in gifted education from University of Louisiana-Lafayette, and she has an MBA and a doctorate in educational leadership from Texas Christian University.

PALO ALTO, Calif., May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Armis, the leading unified asset intelligence platform, today announced Armis Enterprise Workflow Automation (EWA), a new module for security automation and threat response workflows, in partnership with Torq, a no-code automation platform for security teams. The module provides security teams with a seamless experience to build extremely powerful workflows, and to replace manual processes with an orchestrated response to events.
The Armis EWA module allows security teams to automate any remediation or workflow, involving literally any IT or cyber tool, without requiring any professional services or coding. A rich library of integrations allows any security professional to build event-triggered workflows, no matter how simple or complex the process, and no matter how many tools are involved.

"Digital transformation has accelerated the adoption of new assets and technologies, creating an extended attack surface that organizations are struggling to effectively manage and control. We are excited to offer our customers a full platform that combines unprecedented visibility into assets, contextual intelligence into the vulnerabilities and threats that put these assets and operations at risk, and automated workflows that can orchestrate the response to detected threats," said Peter Doggart, Chief Strategy Officer at Armis.
The Armis Asset Intelligence Platform enables enterprises to see and control their full cyber asset attack surface. By providing complete asset discovery, real time cyber vulnerability and threat intelligence, and highlighting critical assets that should be prioritized, Armis enables enterprises to quickly hone in on the assets that put their operations at risk, prioritize mitigation efforts to better manage their attack surface, and improve their overall risk posture.
Armis EWA enables organizations to:
- Maximize their investment in IT and Security tools
- Enable every security practitioner to replace daunting manual processes with automated workflows
- Create complex workflows that leverage new integrations without coding
- Respond faster to threats and operational events
- Deliver better protection to the organization
"The goal of the cybersecurity industry is to prevent threats from affecting the critical digital infrastructure our businesses rely upon. The powerful combination between highly detailed contextual intelligence collected by the Armis Asset Intelligence Platform and flexible no-code automation provided by Torq gives security practitioners uniquely high accuracy when building automated remediation of vulnerabilities and threats," said Eldad Livni, Chief Innovation Officer at Torq.

How To Make Your Home Insta-Worthy & Appeal To Millennial Home Buyers
CHARLOTTE, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Even in Charlotte's red-hot housing market, the big question sellers must ask – is my home Insta-worthy? If not, you're leaving money on the table.

Make Your Home Insta-Worthy & Appeal To Millennial Home Buyers
DENVER, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Even in Denver's scorching hot housing market, the big question sellers must ask – is my home Insta-worthy? If not, you're leaving money on the table. According to Lending Tree, Denver is the leading metro area for Millennial (people ages 25 to 40) home buyers outpacing Seattle and Boston with 63.63% of mortgages offered to them. And these buyers, unlike their parents, demand move-in ready homes and are willing to pay well over asking for them.
Renovation Sells executes affordable pre-sale renovations and the custom designs that today's buyers demand, all without the high-end cost, effort, or timetable. After completing more than 300 presale renovations nationally, Renovations Sells is now servicing the Denver market.
"Our average project takes just three weeks and typically includes cabinet painting, backsplashes, countertops, lighting, flooring, and bathroom refreshes," explained Renovation Sells Denver Owner Jason Maier. "We also have financing options, so it really is a no-brainer for savvy sellers who want to get the most out of their biggest asset."
RECENT RENOVATION SELLS DENVER PROJECT GENERATED 440% ROI FOR SELLER
A recent project, 6087 Westview Street, was originally going to list at $625,000, but after working with Renovation Sells in 4 weeks, it sold for $800,000, which was a 440% ROI for the seller.
"I used Renovation Sells to update the main floor of my home to make it more desirable to sell. My home had many improvements over the years, but it was built in 1957. I hired Renovations Sells in March to update my home. I listed my home on the first of April, and it sold in hours," explained seller Linda C. "I was reluctant at first, thinking why renovate when it's a seller's market, and I could easily get $650,000 for my home? The cost to renovate was $40,000. I sold my house for $800,000, which was way above my expectations. Quite an increase in my earnings for a small investment."
The Denver market has been an extreme seller's market for over a year, but things are now shifting with the rising interest rates," explained Theron Johnson, REALTOR® with Thrive Real Estate Group. "It usually depends on the property, but the nicer homes – with an updated kitchen and/or bath – generally go for around 10-15% over asking... sometimes more! People spend so much time in the kitchen, so having something that is nicely updated will often sway someone's decision to purchase a home."

MEXICO CITY , May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Grupo Financiero Banorte, expanding its support of sustainable financing, announced today that two Banorte subsidiaries will follow an international advisory board's guidelines to help investors access higher quality ESG information for decision-making.
Chairman Carlos Hank González said Afore XXI Banorte and Operadora de Fondos will promote International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) criteria, aimed at developing global benchmarks that respond to the needs of investors and financial markets.
"We are committed to adopting the standards issued by the International Sustainability Standards Board to make more informed and sustainability-focused investment decisions," he said.
The move by Banorte, the largest Mexican financial institution, comes as investors with global investment portfolios increasingly are seeking high quality, transparent, reliable and comparable reporting by companies on climate and other environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters.
The ISSB helps meet that demand, with a comprehensive global baseline of sustainability-related disclosure standards that provide investors and other capital market participants details about companies' sustainability-related risks and opportunities.
The Banorte subsidiaries, among the country's leading investment fund operators, now will have access to standardized, quantifiable and comparable information on the ESG performance of the companies in which they invest. That can increase the scope of responsible investments and strengthen the investment process for the benefit of each client.
Banorte also offers a string of sustainable consumer-centric financing products, including its recently launched Green Auto Loan, an exclusive loan to purchase hybrid and electric vehicles. It previously endorsed the Principles of Responsible Banking and the UN Net Zero Banking Alliance to promote sustainable consumption practices among its customers.
About Grupo Financiero Banorte
Grupo Financiero Banorte (GFNorte) is the largest Mexican financial institution. It offers financial services to individuals and companies through its businesses: banking, brokerage, fund operator, insurer, pension, leasing and factoring, warehouse, portfolio manager and the remittance company Uniteller.

SHANGHAI and GAITHERSBURG, Md., May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- I-Mab (the "Company") (Nasdaq: IMAB), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to the discovery, development and commercialization of novel biologics, today announced the completion of patient enrollment in a Phase 3 clinical trial (TALLER) of highly differentiated long-acting recombinant human growth hormone eftansomatropin alfa (also known as TJ101), which is being investigated as a weekly treatment for pediatric growth hormone deficiency (PGHD) in China. The primary endpoint is annual height velocity.
"In China, only a small percentage of children with growth hormone deficiency are receiving treatment, which presents a significant unmet medical need. It is a remarkable accomplishment by I-Mab for successfully completing the patient enrollment on schedule amid the covid pandemic," commented Professor Xiaoping Luo, a national thought leader in PGHD, principal investigator of the TALLER study and chairman of the Department of Pediatrics at Wuhan Tongji Hospital.
TALLER is a multi-center, randomized, open-label, active-controlled phase 3 clinical study (NCT04633057) that has enrolled 168 patients in China. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of eftansomatropin alfa in PGHD, as compared to Norditropin®, a daily rhGH marketed in China.
The safety, tolerability and efficacy of eftansomatropin alfa have been well demonstrated in multiple completed early clinical studies. In November 2021, I-Mab announced a strategic collaboration with Jumpcan Pharmaceutical Group to accelerate the development, manufacturing and commercialization of eftansomatropin alfa in mainland China.
"We are excited by having achieved this important milestone as we are now so close to offering this differentiated therapy to patients," said Dr. Andrew Zhu, President of I-Mab. "Eftansomatropin alfa provides a convenient weekly treatment option in the current growth hormone market that is dominated by daily injectables. We look forward to advancing this study at full speed towards registration."
"We are so pleased to see that the patient enrollment has been successfully completed as planned," said Dr. Jun Liu, General Manager of Jumpcan. "Under the strategic collaboration between the two companies, we will support I-Mab to expedite the Phase 3 study to bring this novel therapy quickly to market and meet the clinical demand."
Following the completion of the enrollment, final data from the TALLER study is anticipated in 2023 followed by a Biologics License Application (BLA) submission.
About Eftansomatropin alfa (TJ101)
Eftansomatropin alfa (TJ101) is a potential highly differentiated long-acting recombinant human growth hormone being developed as a more convenient and effective therapy for growth hormone deficiency (GHD). Like endogenous growth hormone, eftansomatropin alfa stimulates the production of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in the liver, which has growth-stimulating effects on a variety of tissues, including osteoblast and chondrocyte activities that stimulate bone growth. IGF-1 is a reliable pharmacodynamic marker and the key mediator of growth-promoting activity of eftansomatropin alfa. Eftansomatropin alfa is based on Genexine's patented hyFc® technology. The hyFc part consists of a portion of human immunoglobulin D ("IgD") and G4 ("IgG4"). The former contains a flexible hinge, and the latter is responsible for half-life extension through neonatal Fc receptor ("FcRn")-mediated recycling.
Eftansomatropin alfa is currently in Phase 3 clinical study. Because of its unique molecular features, eftansomatropin alfa may have advantages over the conventional pegylated rhGH drugs and daily injections. In the previous clinical trials, including a Phase 2 study in Europe, eftansomatropin alfa demonstrated its safety and clinical efficacy of weekly or biweekly regimens as compared to that of the daily injected rhGH (Genotropin).
In November 2021, I-Mab and Jumpcan Pharmaceutical Group entered into a strategic collaboration to accelerate the development, manufacturing and commercialization of eftansomatropin alfa in mainland China. I-Mab will be the marketing authorization holder (MAH) of the product and supply the product at agreed cost to Jumpcan. Jumpcan will be responsible for commercializing the product and developing new indications in collaboration with I-Mab in mainland China. I-Mab will provide clinical, manufacturing and academic support.
About I-Mab
I-Mab (Nasdaq: IMAB) is an innovation-driven global biopharma company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of novel and highly differentiated biologics for immuno-oncology diseases. The Company's mission is to bring transformational medicines to patients around the world through innovation. I-Mab's globally competitive pipeline of more than 20 clinical and preclinical-stage drug candidates is driven by its internal discovery and global partnerships for in-licensing, based on the Company's Fast-to-Proof-of-Concept and Fast-to-Market development strategies. The Company is progressing from a clinical-stage biotech company into an innovative global specialty biopharmaceutical company with cutting-edge R&D capabilities, a world-class GMP manufacturing facility, and commercial capability.

IMAX Turns in Dominating Performance at Domestic Box Office, Earning 14% of Overall North American Gross with $21 Million
NEW YORK, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- IMAX Corporation (NYSE: IMAX) soared to its best global four-day Memorial Day Weekend opening ever with the $32.5 million debut of Paramount Pictures' "Top Gun: Maverick", starring cinema icon Tom Cruise. Crushing industry expectations, the aerial actioner also scored the biggest domestic four-day Memorial Day Weekend opening ever in IMAX with $21 million, good for a stunning 14% of the overall North American box office.
"Top Gun: Maverick" now stands as Tom Cruise's biggest opening weekend ever in IMAX — global, domestic, and in 50 individual countries and territories worldwide — topping a run of eight Cruise-led blockbuster releases dating back to 2011.
"If you thought movies were dead, go see 'Top Gun: Maverick' and then let me know what you think. This film heralds the return of the summer blockbuster and is a catalyst that will accelerate demand for moviegoing like an F-18 breaking the sound barrier," said Rich Gelfond, CEO of IMAX. "There's no way you sit in a theatre, with a huge screen and chest-pounding speakers, and come away thinking there's any other way you want to experience 'Top Gun: Maverick', and our hats are off to Tom Cruise, Joe Kosinski and their fearless creative team for what they've accomplished."
"Top Gun: Maverick" is a Filmed For IMAX release shot with IMAX-certified Sony Venice cameras and includes nearly an hour of scenes in IMAX-exclusive 1:90:1 expanded aspect ratio. This includes all the film's stunning flight sequences and as well as additional scenes that are available with up to 26% more picture only available in IMAX.
Six of the specialized IMAX cameras were strapped to the inside of the cockpit of an F-18A Super Hornet to enable the film's groundbreaking aerial photography, and IMAX image quality enhancements in post-production and higher dynamic range sound systems allowed the filmmakers to design the movie to be experienced in IMAX.
Internationally, "Top Gun: Maverick" delivered a top ten all-time IMAX opening weekend in eighteen diverse markets, including the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Belgium, Japan, Singapore, Argentina, Sweden, and Norway.

NEW YORK, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Insight Partners published latest research study on Beverage Metal Cans Market Forecast to 2028 – COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis – by Material (Aluminum and Steel), Application (Carbonated Soft Drinks, Alcoholic Drinks, Fruit and Vegetable Juices, and Others), and Geography," the market is projected to reach US$ 47,852.42 million by 2028 from US$ 34,363.14 million in 2022; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% during 2022–2028. Metal cans is one of the most popular environment-friendly packaging solutions in end-use industries. The cans are highly recyclable with recycling infrastructure well established in most parts of the world. Moreover, the growing regulations on plastic packaging increased the utilization of beverage metal cans for single use purpose.
As beverage metal cans can be manufactured using recycled raw materials, the overall carbon footprint of the packaging is reduced and therefore contributes toward green packaging initiatives. Several government initiatives, such as the Circular Economy directive by European Union that restricts the use of non-biodegradable packaging products, are expected to benefit the growth in demand for beverage metal cans during the forecast period.

Based on application, the beverage metal cans market is segmented into carbonated soft drinks, alcoholic drinks, fruit and vegetable juices, and others. The alcoholic drinks segment accounted for the largest share, whereas the market for the carbonated soft drinks segment is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. Carbonated soft drinks are fizzy nonalcoholic beverages made with clean water, sugar, natural sweeteners or sugar alternatives (in diet drinks), caffeine, artificial flavoring ingredients, fruit juice concentrations, preservatives, and coloring additives.
Sprite, Coca-Cola, Mountain Dew, and Monster are a few the most well-known soft drink brands worldwide. The availability of carbonated soft drinks in a wide range of fruit flavors has increased customer demand. The drinks are typically sold in convenience stores, restaurants, casual dining establishments, movie theatres, dedicated soda stores, and vending machines. Further, coatings such as epoxy-amino resin or epoxy-phenolic resin systems restrict corrosion of cans from acidic products, such as carbonated soft drinks. However, almost all food cans are made of steel. However, the unique qualities of aluminum make metal cans ideal for storing carbonated beverages.

Innovative New Double Barrel Aged Inspiro Tequila Rosa Reposado Launches in the U.S.
CHICAGO, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Inspiro Tequila, which launched in the U.S. in 2021 to bring a fresh new female perspective to the growing tequila category, just announced the release of an innovative new addition to their portfolio, Inspiro Tequila Rosa Reposado.
This unique expression is carefully distilled from the highest-quality, hand-selected 100% Blue Weber Agave before it is aged in oak casks that were previously used for rosé wine. The Rosa Reposado is then finished in pinot noir wine barrels for a short period to impart a beautiful rose gold color and create an exceptionally complex and unique taste profile. Like Inspiro Tequila Luna Blanco (the brand's first release), the new Inspiro Tequila Rosa Reposado is confirmed additive-free and Kosher certified.
Mara Smith, a former attorney in Chicago, founded Inspiro Tequila, a brand created, owned, and led by women. Smith started drinking tequila when she was looking for a clean, gluten-free spirit that fit into her active lifestyle. She searched for a tequila brand that was additive-free with a look, taste, and aroma that appealed to her. That perfect tequila simply did not exist, so she decided to create one. Smith's goal was also to help make women feel more seen and relevant in the spirits industry by having women involved in every step of the process. She enlisted legendary maestra tequilera, Ana María Romero Mena, one of the preeminent master distillers in the tequila industry in Mexico, to create the taste profiles and meticulous process for Inspiro Tequila.
"My friends and I enjoy the light and crisp flavor of rosé wine, but we don't like the after-effects of drinking sugar-laden wines. So, I thought it would be interesting to explore the taste profile of tequila aged in rosé wine barrels This is an easy-to-drink reposado with distinctive fruit and honey notes and a beautiful rose gold color – all naturally achieved without the use of any additives," said Smith. "While some other tequilas are rested in wine barrels, none are aged in rosé barrels, and none taste quite like this. That is what makes Inspiro Tequila Rosa Reposado truly so innovative and unique."
Perfect for sipping, Inspiro Tequila Rosa Reposado is characterized by its toffee, vanilla, and white chocolate aromas, with a balanced taste of fresh cooked agave married with sweet and complex notes of vanilla, red berries, nuts, and roasted pineapple. The finish is long-lasting, light, and silky. Inspiro Tequila Rosa Reposado is packaged in the same bottle as Inspiro Tequila Luna Blanco, an elegant and sleek custom designed bottle that is easy to hold and pour.
The word "Inspiro" is Spanish for "inspire." Smith credits her mother and grandmother – both strong women in her life – for her drive to succeed. They are her role models and her inspiration, and they instilled in her the belief that she could do anything if she worked hard enough. She hopes to share that confidence with other women by establishing the Inspiro Purple Bicycle Project to give back by supporting and inspiring other female entrepreneurs to follow their passion.
Inspiro Tequila can be purchased at InspiroTequila.com to be delivered across the U.S., and it is available in Illinois and other select local markets.

About Inspiro Tequila: Inspiro Tequila was born with a vision to redefine what it means to enjoy tequila, by crafting a clean, smooth and sippable 100% Blue Weber Agave ultra-premium tequila without any additives (Inspiro Tequila is proudly confirmed additive-free by the tequila industry experts at Tequila Matchmaker.) Inspiro Tequila is also certified by WBENC, the most widely recognized and respected national certification for women-owned businesses in the U.S.
