STOCKHOLM, June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mentice AB (publ) ("Mentice" or the "Company"), a leading provider of high-tech solutions for decision support and productivity with the medical field of image guided interventional therapies, announces the intention to acquire all assets of the Ankyras software suite ("Ankyras") from Galgo Medical S.L. ("Galgo") for an amount of EUR 1.80 million (approximately SEK 18.78 million[1]) with a possible additional purchase amount of EUR 0.975 million (approximately SEK 10.17 million1), and with a total purchase consideration amounting to approximately EUR 2.775 million (about SEK 28.95 million1) to be paid in cash (the "Acquisition"). The agreement and the completion of the said agreement is conditioned upon Mentice financing the transaction, which is planned to be performed through a directed new share issue.
[1] EUR/SEK = 10.4330
The Acquisition
The Acquisition is related to precision medicine software solutions for the area of neuro interventional therapies, specifically for planning and analysis regarding preventive treatment for cerebral haemorrhage and aneurysms in the brain. The Acquisition is the Company's first within the area of precision medicine and in line with the strategic direction that the Company has previously communicated with its intention to expand vertically in the field of therapy for image-based interventions. The Acquisition is characterized as a technology acquisition as this solution is in an early phase of its commercialization. However, the solution has been developed for a long time by Galgo and the software Ankyras is patent protected and CE-marked product (Medical Device Regulation MDR) with technology published by Galgo since 2013.
This area for treatments of aneurysms in the cerebral arteries in the brain is a growing therapy area and one of the causes of stroke. Stroke is the third leading cause of death due to illness in healthcare and the largest cause in the world for lifelong care dependence. One of fifty people in the world is estimated to have an undetected or untreated aneurysm in the brain that potentially can lead to a stroke (cerebral haemorrhage).
Ankyras is an advanced cloud-based analysis solution that allows a physician to plan treatment for a specific patient. The doctor can, with the help of Ankyras, select a suitable clinical instrument, i.e. type and size, and then by marking where this instrument should be placed obtain an analysis of how well the instrument rests against the vessel wall and how effectively it blocks the opening to the aneurysm.
The Company estimates that this market, which is growing rapidly, currently amounts to approximately SEK 100 million, which is a factor in the Company's decision to expand in this market. Although Ankyra's current market share is small, we believe that Mentice will quickly be able to gain market share, thanks to its strong relationship with, above all, the medical technology industry, but also with leading doctors and hospitals in the area.
Mentice has an ambition to expand its offering to the market for decision-making and performance solutions in the area of Image Guided Interventional Therapy ("IGIT"), where the addressable market, according to the Company's own estimates, exceeds USD 0.5 billion and has an estimated market potential of approximately USD 2 billion.
"It is very exciting to be able to present this acquisition of Ankyras. Ankyras has a unique technology and validated algorithm for planning aneurysm treatments in the brain. This exemplifies what we mean with our vertical strategy and our ambition to expand deep into our clinical specialty" says Göran Malmberg, CEO of Mentice.
"We are pleased to have found a home for Ankyras at Mentice and we believe this will be a step in the right direction for the commercialization of Ankyras. We have been working with the Ankyras technology for a long time and we believe Ankyras clearly is addressing a large need in the market" says Antoni Riu, CEO of Galgo Medical S.L.
About Galgo
Galgo is a Barcelona-based development company originating from the Department of Information Technologies at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona, Spain). Galgo has worked with solutions for medical technology and in addition to the software solution Ankyras has developed a number of other solutions in areas such as stereotactic neurosurgical planning, cardiac electrophysiology and osteoporosis.
Financing and terms
The completion of the Acquisition is expected to occur in June 2022 and is conditioned upon customary terms and completed external financing, which is planned to be obtained through a directed new share issue based on the authorization the board of Mentice received at the Annual Shareholders Meeting on April 27 this year.
This disclosure contains information that Mentice AB is obliged to make public pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation (EU nr 596/2014). The information was submitted for publication, through the agency of the contact person, on 09-06-2022 18:24 CET.

Campaign Provides Educational Resources on Liver Cancer and Encourages People to Make Some Daily Adjustments to Help Support Liver Health
NUTLEY, N.J., Aug. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Baseball legend and Latin Grammy-nominated musician Bernie Williams has teamed up with Blue Faery, the Global Liver Institute and Eisai Inc. to launch the One Liver to Love initiative to help raise awareness about liver cancer and the importance of adopting and maintaining healthy lifestyle choices to support liver health. The campaign aims to help provide information, educational resources, advocacy support services and a sense of community for anyone impacted by liver cancer.
Rates of liver cancer, including hepatocellular carcinoma (the most common form of liver cancer), have almost tripled since 1980. In 2022, over 40,000 new cases are estimated to be diagnosed in the U.S. Liver cancer can be thought of as a disease within a disease. Many people living with liver cancer may also have other liver-related conditions like chronic liver disease, viral hepatitis (B or C), fatty liver disease or cirrhosis. When treating liver cancer, it is important to be proactive about liver health and speak with your health care provider.
"Liver disease is personal to me. It has impacted my mom, my uncle and my grandfather, and I've seen first-hand the difficulties and feelings that come with it," said Williams. "Liver disease and liver cancer can disproportionately impact communities of color, so I'm glad to go to bat for the One Liver to Love initiative to encourage others to be proactive when it comes to liver health and help those affected by liver cancer feel seen and supported."
Liver cancer is a complex disease that is often misunderstood. Once diagnosed, people with liver cancer may feel stigmatized, lost and alone. This initiative aims to help support all people living with liver cancer throughout their experience. It emphasizes the importance of small adjustments to one's daily routine based on four pillars of liver health—nutrition, exercise, sleep and mental health—along with support from one's healthcare team and liver cancer community.
"Navigating liver cancer can be challenging. Being proactive when it comes to liver health is important for one's physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing," said Andrea Wilson Woods, President, Blue Faery. "That's why it's especially critical to reach this community with resources to explore treatment options and determine the diet, exercise and lifestyle choices that may be best for each individual."
The website OneLiverToLove.com provides information about liver cancer, the roles of different health care providers a patient may have on their multidisciplinary care team, and what to expect with a liver cancer diagnosis. Additionally, the website offers links to advocacy groups and other organizations to help guide those living with cancer and their caregivers.
"The people who understand liver cancer the most are the ones who live it every day: the patients, caregivers, families, health care teams and liver cancer support organizations – and while it can be difficult to ask for and accept support, we are stronger when we come together as a community," said Donna Cryer, President and CEO, Global Liver Institute. "Whether you or a loved one are living with liver cancer, we can all rally together to start a new era of understanding and support."
"Eisai is driven by our human health care mission, to give our first thoughts to patients as well as their families, and we believe that everyone deserves quality care. From our work with patients and advocates, we know that some people living with liver cancer may feel discouraged or uncomfortable seeking medical care due to stigma – whether external or internalized against themselves, so to address this and the many challenges faced by this community, we've collaborated with partners who share our vision," said Teresa Cronin, Vice President of Corporate Communications and Patient Advocacy at Eisai Inc. "It is our hope that One Liver to Love will help anyone impacted by liver cancer take back their power by understanding more about this disease, finding support within the community, and embracing healthy choices."
As part of the initiative, Williams joins the online conversation around liver health and liver cancer. Others can follow or join the conversation as well by using the hashtag #OneLiverToLove on social media. To learn more about the One Liver to Love initiative and find information and resources about liver cancer, please visit OneLiverToLove.com.
Liver cancer rates have almost tripled since 1980 and in 2022 an estimated 41,000 new cases will be diagnosed in the U.S. Risk factors for liver cancer include gender, ethnicity, chronic viral hepatitis (Hep-B or Hep-C) infection, cirrhosis, alcohol use and metabolic syndrome. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of liver cancer and makes up 85%-90% of primary liver cancers (cancer that starts in the tissues of the liver). Hepatocellular carcinoma, which is often diagnosed at an advanced stage, has a five-year survival rate of approximately 20%.
Founded in 2002, the mission of Blue Faery is to prevent, treat, and cure primary liver cancer through research, education, and advocacy. Blue Faery's Patient Resource Guides for Liver Cancer are free for patients, their families, and their healthcare providers. Blue Faery hosts an online Liver Cancer Community for patients and caregivers and gives an annual award to recognize researchers who have made significant contributions to the advancement of scientific knowledge in the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, or understanding of primary liver cancer. To learn more, visit bluefaery.org.
Global Liver Institute (GLI) is a patient-driven 501(c)3 nonprofit organization headquartered in Washington, DC, with offices in the EU and UK, founded in the belief that liver health must take its place on the global public health agenda commensurate with the prevalence and impact of liver disease and the importance of liver health to well-being. GLI promotes innovation, encourages collaboration, and supports the scaling of optimal approaches to improve research, care, and policy. By bringing together more than 200 community-based, national, and international organizations across its Councils, Campaigns, and events, GLI equips advocates to identify and solve the problems that matter to liver patients.
GLI's liver cancers portfolio drives policy, education, and awareness of the diseases to increase screening, treatment, and prevention of the third deadliest cancer in the world. GLI elevates the global dialogue and increases expert collaboration in the field through their Liver Cancers Council. Membership in the Liver Cancers Council provides a basis for many of GLI's liver cancers initiatives, including project planning and development of patient and provider education materials.

The first half of the District 12-6A schedule finished much better than it started, and Temple will make the turn in playoff position.
The Wildcats did enough late after staking themselves to an early lead and held off Copperas Cove for a 7-5 district win at Hallford Field on Tuesday night.
Temple (6-12-1, 4-3), which has won four of its last five league games after an 0-2 start, led throughout but the Bulldawgs (7-13-1, 4-3) twice got within two runs to keep the 2-plus hour contest that ended after press time in the balance.
The two teams that dueled in a play-in game for the final playoff spot last season entered the second half of 12-6A in a three-way tie for third with Harker Heights. Belton (10-7-1, 6-1) is second and Bryan (14-2, 7-0), which travels to face Temple on Friday, is first.
With a four-run lead in his back pocket, Temple starting pitcher Naeten Mitchell didn’t allow a hit until Antonio Espinoza led off the fourth with a single to left, and Espinoza scored with two outs when John Louis Garcia Leon dropped an RBI single into right to get the Bulldawgs within 4-1.
Travis Sanders opened the fifth with a double and scored on Blaine Butler’s single for 4-2, signaling the end of Mitchell’s night on the mound. The Wildcats junior right-hander surrendered four hits and struck out six. Isaac Ramos entered for Mitchell and got Temple out of the inning with a fielder’s choice, strikeout and groundout.
Temple cushioned its advantage in the fifth, getting an RBI groundout from Mitchell to plate Ramos and a two-run double by Matt McDonald for a 7-2 lead.
The boost was rather beneficial because the Dawgs bit back with three runs in the sixth on Gabriel Chapman’s RBI base hit and a two-run double from Butler to get within 7-5.
Ramos struck out the side in the seventh to secure the victory.
Temple used some pop to hop in front of Cove, 4-0, in the first.
Ramos led off the frame with a single, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Johnny Donoso and scored when Mitchell drilled a double down the left-field line. Aric Hickman followed with an RBI double to the gap in left-center field to score Mitchell, and three batters later Evan Machuca delivered a two-run double deep to left to plate Hickman and McDonald.
The Bulldawgs left three runners on base in the second when Mitchell walked three consecutive batters with two outs before striking out David Cimmino looking with a curveball to escape the threat.
Cove starter Espinoza settled in after Temple’s early outburst, allowing just one baserunner, on a walk, over the next three innings to keep Cove’s deficit at four.

- Vertically Integrated Cannabis Franchisor and Operator Builds Colorado Retail Footprint Through Acquisitions
- Local Unity Rd. Partners Secure Dispensary Licenses in New Mexico and South Dakota Cannabis Programs
PHOENIX, May 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Item 9 Labs Corp. (OTCQX: INLB) (the "Company") — a vertically integrated cannabis dispensary franchisor and operator that produces premium, award-winning products — announced the accelerated growth of its dispensary franchise model, Unity Rd. across the U.S. with successful expansion into multiple new markets over the past two months.
Currently, the Company has two dispensaries open in Colorado and Oklahoma with development across another 10 states, driven by more than 20 entrepreneurial groups. Item 9 Labs Corp. anticipates this positive momentum to continue throughout 2022 with a focus on fast-tracking franchise development by supporting Unity Rd. franchise partners in acquiring existing dispensaries in Colorado, among other target markets.
Expansion into New Cannabis Markets
The Company's Unity Rd. franchise opportunity removes the complexities often associated with entering the cannabis market. Through Unity Rd.'s proven and scalable franchise model, entrepreneurs are afforded seamless entry into the booming industry, along with the support system designed to enable their operation of a successful and compliant dispensary in a market that has legalized medicinal or adult-use cannabis sales. The dedicated team, with a combined 120-plus years of legal cannabis experience, guide franchise partners through every operational function of the business including one of the most challenging hurdles – securing a license.
The Item 9 Labs Corp. team recently assisted two of the brand's first partners in South Dakota and New Mexico in securing state and local approval to operate in their markets' cannabis programs. The brand's South Dakota partners, B.J. Olson and Adam Jorgensen, were awarded a license to open one of the first dispensaries in Hartford, a suburb of Sioux Falls, through the South Dakota Medical Cannabis Program. They broke ground on their shop on February 25, 2022 and anticipate being operational this summer.
Meanwhile, New Mexico recently opened to adult-use cannabis on April 1, 2022, and the market is booming. Dispensaries hit nearly $5.2 million in sales for adult-use cannabis products alone within the first weekend, according to the Office of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham. Unity Rd.'s New Mexico partner was recently awarded three licenses by the state and plans to open his first shop in Ruidoso with two additional cities to follow.
"The relationship between us and our local partners is mutually beneficial, as we together leverage a proven and highly scalable business. We have worked hard to create a repeatable road map that allows eager cannabis entrepreneurs a direct and de-risked route into the complex U.S. cannabis market," said CEO of Item 9 Labs Corp., Andrew Bowden, adding that the market is set to hit $50 billion in revenue by 2025.
"The recent momentum of our one-of-a-kind franchise model is a testament to the support our team provides our franchise partners," Bowden continued. "With increased legalization and acceptance of cannabis, we anticipate building on top of our recent successes and furthering our national footprint."
The Company is also in the midst of rebranding the Unity Rd. shop in Oklahoma City and anticipates a grand opening celebration this summer.
Accelerating National Footprint Through Acquisitions
Item 9 Labs Corp. is actively growing the Unity Rd. national footprint through accretive acquisitions of existing dispensaries that will be converted into Unity Rd. shops and has had recent activity in the Denver market. In early March, the Company closed its acquisition of an existing dispensary retail license and storefront in Adams County, Colorado. This will be the brand's first corporate-owned shop and is anticipated to open this June. Item 9 Labs Corp. also signed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "APA") with The Herbal Cure, a medicinal and recreational dispensary and cultivator operating in the desirable Washington Park neighborhood of Denver. The dispensary generated revenues of $5.4 million last year and will be Unity Rd.'s first future flagship location. The space offers 5,000 square-feet for retail operations, corporate offices and team training as well as a 3,000 square-foot medicinal and recreational cultivation. Item 9 Labs Corp. anticipates the dispensary to be transitioned over to Unity Rd., within six months of closing the acquisition, which is currently awaiting regulatory approval by Colorado's Marijuana Enforcement Division (the "MED") and the City of Denver.
"The new market expansion we are seeing on the retail side, will also propel our award-winning cannabis product brand further," said Bowden, speaking to the Company's overall national strategy to first enter with the Unity Rd. retail brand and follow with Item 9 Labs products. "Bringing our products to markets where Unity Rd. shops are located gives franchise partners front-of-the-line access to a reliable product supply chain. With our products owning more of the shelf space in Unity Rd. shops, we are driving additional sales across multiple revenue verticals, all to our benefit, as well as our franchise partners and our shareholders."
Item 9 Labs Corp. is also seeking opportunities to acquire, develop or partner with cultivation and production facilities in markets where there are two to three Unity Rd. shops. Currently, the Company is focusing product expansion efforts on states, such as Colorado, to ease new market product entry and focus operations.

The federal trial will examine the role of opioid manufacturers Allergan and Teva, distributor Anda, and Walgreens pharmacy in fueling the opioid epidemic in the City and County of San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO, April 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, trial begins with the People of the State of California, acting by and through San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu, against opioid manufacturers Allergan and Teva, distributor Anda, and Walgreens pharmacy. The bench trial will take place before the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California with Judge Charles R. Breyer presiding.
Brought on behalf of the People of the State of California, the lawsuit alleges that opioid manufacturers Allergan and Teva engaged in deceptive marketing practices that misrepresented the dangers of their pills and that all defendants, including Anda and Walgreens, failed to identify, divert, and report suspicious orders as required by law. Walgreens pharmacy is also accused of over-dispensing opioids without proper due diligence against fraud and diversion.
The People allege that these corporate practices fueled a widespread surge of opioid-related addiction and overdose in San Francisco, thereby creating an ongoing public nuisance in the region. From 2006 to 2014, San Francisco County saw 163,645,704 opioids distributed, enough for 22 pills per person per year. Between 2015 and 2020, San Francisco saw a 478% increase in opioid-related overdose deaths, and in a typical day at the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital (ZSFG) Emergency Department, approximately 25 percent of visits are opioid-related. The lawsuit seeks funds to abate the public nuisance, as well as injunctive relief and civil penalties to repair the damage caused from the opioid epidemic and prevent such practices in the future.
"This trial will give voice to the tragic experiences and ongoing needs of our community on the front lines of the opioid epidemic," said San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu. "For too long, the people of San Francisco have had to shoulder the burden of the opioid epidemic. It's time for these companies to pay for the crisis they created. We look forward to presenting our case and securing the funds we need to heal."
This trial is the fourth bellwether case in the federal opioid litigation proceeding involving more than 3,000 American cities, towns, and counties, bringing opioid manufacturers, distributors, and pharmacy chains to court for fueling the opioid epidemic. This case will serve as a test trial to help reach resolutions and seek accountability for the destruction these companies caused. For San Francisco and communities around the country decimated by the opioid epidemic, litigation is a vital tool to secure the resources they need now to implement specific programs required at the local level and sustain the costly, decades-long recovery process ahead.
In a joint statement, National Prescription Opiate Litigation MDL Plaintiffs' Executive Committee co-leads Paul T. Farrell Jr. of Farrell & Fuller Law LLC, Jayne Conroy of Simmons Hanly Conroy, and Joe Rice of Motley Rice LLC, said:
"The manufacturers' false marketing campaigns and Walgreens' failure to report and prevent suspicious opioid orders has led to an unprecedented, unyielding public health crisis in San Francisco and across the United States. The federal opioid litigation exists to facilitate the long overdue process of corporate accountability we have seen occur in courts across the country over the past several months. We look forward to seeing the same process unfold in San Francisco in the days to come. This trial serves as an opportunity to provide financial relief to support local recovery efforts while shedding light on the defendants' concerted efforts to sidestep their obligations under law."
This trial follows a jury verdict from November 23, 2021 in the federal trial in the Northern District of Ohio that found CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart liable for fueling the opioid crisis in Lake County and Trumbull County of Ohio. A judge will determine the value of the opioid epidemic abatement funds owed by pharmacy chains to these communities in May of 2022.
The general public and members of the media can find information about how to listen to the proceedings here.
The case is City and County of San Francisco, et al., v. Purdue Pharma L.P., et al., Defendants (Case No. 3:18-cv-07591-CRB).

"We couldn't be more thrilled with the Selerix partnership, a market leader in benefit administration," said Robert A. Bull, AdminaHealth CEO and Founding Member.

This gives them back time to generate revenue, increase customer retention, and delight their clients."

Growth Attributed to Adoption of Smart NICs and High-Speed Ports
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. , June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a recently published report by Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, networks, and data center IT industries, the Ethernet controller and adapter market surpassed $1 billion for the first time in 1Q 2022. Growth was attributed to the adoption of Smart NICs and high-speed ports.
"The Ethernet controller and adapter market was driven by strong Smart NIC and 100 Gbps port shipments," said Baron Fung, Research Director at Dell'Oro Group. "Furthermore, port average selling prices escalated during the quarter as vendors passed higher supply chain costs on to end-users, adding to topline growth. However, vendors continue to contend with supply chain challenges to meet strong and demand. We anticipate the upcoming server platform refresh and cloud expansion cycle to drive the strong demand for Ethernet adapters," added Fung.
Additional highlights from the 1Q 2022 Ethernet Adapter and Smart NIC report include:
- Total Ethernet controller and adapter port shipments grew 2 percent in 1Q 2022.
- 100 and 200 Gbps ports accounted for 38 percent of the revenue in 1Q 2022 from high-end workloads such as accelerated computing.
- Smart NICs open vendors such as Marvell, Napatech, and Nvidia accounted for 30 percent of the revenue in 1Q 2022 and gained share over internally developed solutions by the major cloud service providers such as Amazon and Microsoft.
The Dell'Oro Group Ethernet Adapter and Smart NIC Quarterly Report provide complete, in-depth coverage of the market with tables covering manufacturers' revenue; average selling prices; and unit and port shipments by speed (1 Gbps, 10 Gbps, 25 Gbps, 40 Gbps, 50 Gbps, 100 Gbps, and 200 Gbps) for Ethernet controllers and adapters.

BOSTON, June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Stealth BioTherapeutics Corp (Nasdaq: MITO), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel therapies for diseases involving mitochondrial dysfunction, announced today that its Board of Directors (the "Board") has received a preliminary non-binding proposal letter dated June 24, 2022 (the "Proposal Letter") from Morningside Venture (I) Investments Ltd. for itself and on behalf of its affiliates ("Morningside") and J. Wood Capital Advisors LLC ("J. Wood Capital") to acquire all outstanding ordinary shares (the "Shares") of the Company not already beneficially owned by Morningside, including Shares represented by American Depositary Shares of the Company (the "ADSs", each representing 12 Shares), in a going-private transaction (the "Proposed Transaction") for US$0.026 in cash per Share and US$0.313 in cash per ADS. A copy of the Proposal Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Board previously formed a committee of three independent directors (the "Special Committee"), consisting of Mr. Kevin McLaughlin, Dr. Francis Chen, and Dr. Lou Lange to, among other authority delegated to the Special Committee, evaluate all strategic alternatives available to the Company. The Special Committee expects to retain a financial advisor to assist with its evaluation of the Proposed Transaction or any alternative transaction the Company may pursue. Consistent with the powers granted by the Board, the Special Committee will evaluate the Proposed Transaction and all other strategic alternatives available to the Company.
The Board and the Special Committee caution holders of the Company's Shares, including Shares represented by ADSs, and others considering trading the Company's securities that no decisions have been made with respect to the Proposed Transaction or any alternative transaction that the Company may pursue. There can be no assurance that any definitive agreement will be executed relating to the Proposed Transaction or that any alternative transaction will be received, approved or consummated. The Company does not undertake any obligation to provide any updates with respect to any transaction, except as required under applicable law.
About Stealth BioTherapeutics
We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel therapies for diseases involving mitochondrial dysfunction. Mitochondria, found in nearly every cell in the body, are the body's main source of energy production and are critical for normal organ function. Dysfunctional mitochondria characterize a number of rare genetic diseases and are involved in many common age-related diseases, typically involving organ systems with high energy demands such as the eye, the neuromuscular system, the heart and the brain. We believe our lead product candidate, elamipretide, has the potential to treat ophthalmic diseases entailing mitochondrial dysfunction, such as dry AMD, rare neuromuscular disorders, such as primary mitochondrial myopathy and Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and rare cardiomyopathies, such as Barth syndrome. We are evaluating our second-generation clinical-stage candidate, SBT-272, for rare neurological disease indications, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal lobar dementia, following promising preclinical data. We have optimized our discovery platform to identify novel mitochondria-targeted compounds which may be nominated as therapeutic product candidates or utilized as mitochondria-targeted vectors to deliver other compounds to mitochondria.

Exhibit A
The Board of Directors (the "Board")
Stealth BioTherapeutics Corp
c/o Intertrust Corporate Services (Cayman) Limited
One Nexus Way, Camana Bay
Grand Cayman
KY1-9005 Cayman Islands
Dear Directors:
Morningside Venture (I) Investments Limited, for itself or on behalf of its affiliates (collectively, "Morningside") and J. Wood Capital Advisors LLC ("J. Wood Capital" and together with Morningside, "we"), are pleased to submit this joint preliminary non-binding proposal to acquire all outstanding ordinary shares (the "Ordinary Shares"), including Ordinary Shares represented by American depository shares ("ADSs", each representing 12 Ordinary Shares), of Stealth BioTherapeutics Corp (the "Company") that are not already beneficially owned by Morningside in a going private transaction (the "Transaction").
Our proposed purchase price for each Ordinary Share is US$0.026 and for each ADS is US$0.313 in cash. We believe that our proposal provides an attractive opportunity for the Company's shareholders. Our proposed purchase price represents a premium of approximately 11.7% to the closing trading price of the ADSs on the date hereof and a premium of 20% to the 30 trading day average closing price.
Morningside currently beneficially owns approximately 65% of the total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. Subject to approval by the Company's board of directors and shareholders, we expect that the Transaction may be effected via a merger at the proposed purchase price.
The principal terms and conditions upon which we are prepared to pursue the Transaction are set forth below.
1. Purchase Price. We propose to acquire all of the outstanding Ordinary Shares and ADSs, other than those beneficially owned by us, at a purchase price equal to US$0.026 per Ordinary Share and US$0.313 per ADS in cash.
2. Financing. We intend to finance the Transaction with cash on hand and will not require debt financing to consummate the Transaction. With respect to the Company's ongoing capital requirements following the closing of the Transaction, we anticipate consummating a private placement from certain co- investors familiar to us contemporaneous with the closing of the Transaction. Such private placement would not be a condition to our obligation to close the Transaction.
3. Due Diligence. We are prepared to move expeditiously to complete the proposed Transaction as soon as practicable and will not require broad due diligence given our knowledge of the Company. We will request targeted confirmatory due diligence with respect to matters that directly bear on the execution of the Transaction, which we will be able to complete expeditiously. We have engaged Goodwin Procter LLP and Campbells LLP as our legal counsel.
4. Definitive Documentation. We are prepared to promptly negotiate and finalize the definitive agreements (the "Definitive Agreements") providing for the Transaction. We expect that such Definitive Agreements with respect to the Transaction will contain limited representations, warranties, covenants and conditions given Morningside's knowledge of the Company.
5. Process. We believe that the Transaction provides significant value to the Company's shareholders and a superior degree of speed and certainty to consummate the Transaction, which allows the Company's shareholders to de-risk their investment and obtain liquidity at a compelling premium. In considering this proposal, you should be aware that we are interested only in pursuing the Transaction and we do not intend to sell our stake in the Company to any third party.
6. Confidentiality. Morningside will, as required by law, timely file an amendment to its Schedule 13D to disclose this proposal. We trust you will agree with us that it is in our mutual interests to ensure that we proceed in a confidential manner, unless otherwise required by law, until we have executed Definitive Agreements or terminated our discussions.
7. No Binding Commitment. This proposal is not a binding offer, agreement or an agreement to make a binding offer. This letter is our preliminary indication of interest and does not contain all matters upon which agreement must be reached in order to consummate the proposed Transaction, nor does it create any binding rights or obligations in favor of any person. A binding commitment will result only from the execution of Definitive Agreements, and then will be on the terms and conditions provided in such documentation.
In closing, we would like to express our commitment to working together to bring this proposed Transaction to a successful and timely conclusion. Should you have any questions regarding this proposal, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,

SINGAPORE, May 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The collapse of LUNA and TerraUST has sent shock waves across the entire cryptocurrency industry over the past week. The entire crypto market deep-dived to 11% in just 24 hours, and most cryptocurrencies have been suffering major losses such as Avalanche, ApeCoin, Solana, and Shiba Inu. As of May 15, Bitcoin is down 20% from last week, trading at $28,809, and Ethereum fell by 27% to $1,968.
LUNA's free-fall caused a severe shock to the digital currency market, resulting in abnormal trading conditions for many pairs, including LUNA and APE worldwide. On the social trading platform MoonXBT, some traders took advantage of the vulnerability and manipulated the price, resulting in the decoupling of LUNA and APE token prices from other trading platforms. In light of the situation, on May 10, MoonXBT launched an emergency shutdown and resumed full services after.
All LUNA and APE trading orders generated during the data anomaly were rendered invalid by the platform. In order to safeguard users' rights, the platform also pledges to take the initiative to compensate those who suffer loss for their positions on non-Luna-and-APE due to the emergency shutdown.
One of the possible reasons for the crisis, as suspected by many crypto experts and financial pundits, is the particular pricing structure of the TerraUST. The algorithm-based stablecoin uses a complicated method, with the help of LUNA, to ensure its value is maintained against the dollar, Edward Moya, a senior market analyst at foreign exchange platform OANDA, told Los Angeles Times. He added that most stablecoins will hold actual assets to function but the algorithmic solution that TerraUST had was unable to handle the market volatility that we are seeing across the bond markets.
Some also believed that the crypto market has not reached the bottom even after the volatility over the past week, although Moya believed that the crisis does not seem to suggest there is a systematic risk in the crypto market. Indeed, some see the past week as a "black swan" incident and that the crypto market should be able to recover and handle it.
Michael, Co-Founder of VB Margin and VB Capital thought highly of MoonXBT's measures towards LUNA crisis. He expressed that MoonXBT performed its duty as a responsible big trading platform when the platform took immediate action to protect the users' assets from being affected by the sharp market fluctuations. By showing cares to users, MoonXBT has once again demonstrated its responsibility as a fair, responsible and just platform that is committed to providing a sustainable and safe trading environment to its users.
Acknowledging the inevitability of the occurrence of black swan incidents like LUNA crisis, MoonXBT vowed to learn from these incidents and grow together with its users.
The platform, as always, will spare no efforts to protect its users' assets. Nor will it allow any violations by individuals to harm the interests of the majority users, MoonXBT said.
In addition to the compensation it promises to its users embroiled in this crisis, the platform said it will offer more investment projects and opportunities to its users. Users of the platform will have the priority and enjoy extra benefits for Web3.0 projects invested by MoonXBT.
MoonXBT reaffirms its goal to create a safe and just trading and investment environment for its users. It has been MoonXBT's mission to protect the safety of users' assets. The platform will make unremitting efforts to help the users profit from legitimate trading activities that comply with the regulations.

Improved access to treatment for UI can positively affect women's health and reduce payer costs
BOSTON, June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Renovia Inc. (Renovia), a women-led company that develops digital therapeutics for female pelvic floor disorders, announced today that a recent peer-reviewed, published study showed that women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) consume significantly more medical resources and incur higher costs to payers, compared to women without SUI/MUI. The study was published in Neurourology and Urodynamics, the official journal of the Society of Urodynamics and Female Pelvic Medicine & Urogenital Reconstruction.
The study, "Healthcare Resource Use and Cost Burden of Urinary Incontinence to United States Payers," assessed healthcare resource utilization and costs for female patients diagnosed with stress or mixed urinary incontinence (SUI/MUI) compared to a 1:1 matched cohort of patients without SUI/MUI. Over a two-year period, the group of women with SUI/MUI had significantly more inpatient, outpatient, primary care and specialist visits compared to the group of women without incontinence. In fact, payers incurred 61% greater total costs for the women with SUI/MUI. While reasons for the greater resource utilization and costs are multifactorial and, therefore, hard to isolate, the study authors concluded that "Enhanced attention to evaluation and treatment of UI by payers and health systems may present an opportunity to decrease overall medical costs and improve health among women with UI."
Urinary incontinence (UI) is a highly prevalent health condition experienced by over 60% of adult women. UI is characterized by involuntary leakage of urine and is classified into several subtypes, the most common being stress, urgency, and mixed, which comprise approximately 95% of UI diagnoses. Stress UI (SUI) involves leakage with sneezing, coughing, or physical exertion. Urgency UI (UUI) refers to the involuntary loss of urine associated with a sudden, compelling desire to pass urine which is difficult to defer. Mixed UI (MUI) is the complaint of symptoms of both SUI and UUI.
"This is an important study that confirms what pelvic floor reconstruction surgeons, like myself, have intuitively known for years. UI is a progressive condition and ignoring or dismissing symptoms is never the right answer for the patient, much less at a population health level," noted Dr, Tanaz Ferzandi, the Division Director for Urogynecology & Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery and Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Keck School of Medicine at University of Southern California. "I've seen a tendency across the healthcare ecosystem to think of UI as a lifestyle problem that is largely addressed over the counter with adult diapers and pads, sometimes pessaries. This study provides support that UI is a payer and healthcare system level issue."
Adverse quality of life, economic, and health impacts have been well documented among women with untreated UI. It is a progressive health condition, more likely to worsen over time than to stabilize or resolve when untreated. Multiple studies show that Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT), commonly referred to as Kegel exercises, can offer effective, first-line treatment for urinary incontinence. However, most women cannot strengthen and train their pelvic floor effectively by performing Kegels on their own.
"Urinary incontinence places a tremendous burden on patients, including an estimated 70% of the cost of conservative care and UI symptom management, and now this study adds to our understanding of the significant costs incurred by payers," said Jessica McKinney, PT, DScPT, MS, Renovia's Vice President of Medical Affairs & Clinical Advocacy and an author on this study. "It is imperative to provide women access to effective, evidence-based UI treatments at every step of the care pathway. Multiple studies have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of the leva Pelvic Health System, an easy, first-line treatment for UI used by women at home, making it a valuable way to improve the symptoms of UI before they progress and lead women to seek additional care."
The leva Pelvic Health System is an FDA-cleared, prescription digital therapeutic (PDT) that combines a small vaginal motion sensor with a smartphone app that guides a woman through treatment, offering an easy, non-invasive, drug-free way for women to effectively strengthen their pelvic floor muscles to improve UI symptoms. leva requires just five minutes of training a day, which women can do at home, on their own schedule. In April 2022, Obstetrics and Gynecology (The Green Journal), published a randomized controlled superiority study showing that leva was statistically and clinically superior to Kegels alone for improving symptoms of stress and stress-dominant mixed urinary incontinence.
About the leva® Pelvic Health System
The leva Pelvic Health System offers a novel, non-invasive, medication-free way for women to train and strengthen their pelvic floor muscles—at home in just five minutes a day—to treat urinary incontinence (UI). Combining a small FDA-cleared vaginal motion sensor connected to a smartphone app, leva offers precise visualization of pelvic movement in real-time, enables progress tracking and allows active clinician involvement, all of which support women's success. Recognizing that level-one evidence shows pelvic floor muscle training is most effective when performed under the supervision of a skilled healthcare provider, leva is available by prescription only, allowing clinicians the opportunity to treat UI on a broad scale and with deep involvement in patient success. leva is the first femtech product included in the Digital Therapeutics Alliance product library and has multiple clinical trials and published data from globally recognized medical centers supporting its efficacy in treating UI. leva received the 2021 Excellence Award for Research from Medical Device Network.
About Renovia
Boston-based Renovia Inc. is a women-led company dedicated to improving the lives of women with pelvic floor disorders. Renovia's flagship product, the leva® Pelvic Health System, offers a novel, effective, first-line treatment for urinary incontinence (UI), an underreported condition affecting 78 million women in the U.S. alone. Renovia's technology enables non-invasive, drug-free treatment via precise visualization of movement in real time during pelvic floor muscle training, while monitoring usage and progress. For more information about Renovia or leva please visit www.renoviainc.com and www.levatherapy.com and follow us on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram.
Important Indication and Other Information for the leva Pelvic Health System
The leva Pelvic Health System is intended for strengthening of pelvic floor muscles, and rehabilitation and training of weak pelvic floor muscles for the treatment of stress, mixed, and mild to moderate urgency urinary incontinence (including overactive bladder) in women. Treatment with the leva System is by prescription and is not for everyone. Please talk to your prescriber to see if leva is right for you. Your prescriber should discuss all potential benefits and risks with you. Do not use leva while pregnant, or if you think you may be pregnant, unless authorized by your doctor. For a complete summary of the risks and instructions for the leva System, see its Instructions for Use available at www.renoviainc.com and www.levatherapy.com.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- WINT Water Intelligence, a leader in cutting-edge water management and leak-prevention solutions for construction, has been selected for Wates Group's exclusive Wates Innovation Network (WIN), a curated marketplace of premium sustainable technology solutions for construction, development and facilities management professionals.

WINT uses AI and machine learning to conduct real-time water-flow analysis to identify leaks, cut waste and risk, and reduce carbon emissions.

Gianluca Bisol of Italy's Bisol1542 Winery to Visit 14 Cities Across the United States to Educate and Celebrate Prosecco Superiore DOCG
NEW YORK, April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bisol1542, the quality leader in Prosecco Superiore, and fine wine marketer Wilson Daniels are excited to announce an impressive 14-city, 25-day coast-to-coast US road tour this spring to showcase the brand's 500+ years of winemaking tradition in Valdobbiadene through its distinctive portfolio of Prosecco Superiore DOCG expressions.
The tour will bring together two icons of Italian luxury known for passion and expertise in their respective fields. Partnering with premium automaker Alfa Romeo, Global Brand Ambassador and 21st generation family member Gianluca Bisol will drive 4,732 miles across the country in an eye-catching Verde Montreal-colored 2022 Stelvio Quadrifoglio, educating trade, media, and consumers about the heritage of Valdobbiadene, though the lens of three terroir-driven Superiore crus:
- Crede Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG
- Relio Rive di Guia Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG
- Cartizze Valdobbiadene Superiore di Cartizze DOCG
Jeio Brut Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG from the family's second label, named for Gianluca's grandfather Desiderio "Jeio" Bisol, will also be featured prominently on the tour.
"This US road tour has been a dream of mine for many years, and I'm so excited that it's finally coming to fruition this spring," said Gianluca Bisol, President of Bisol1542. "For the past 35 years that I've been selling our wines in the US, my mission has remained the same: to produce the best expression of Prosecco Superiore in the world, and to share my home of Valdobbiadene with American consumers through our wines. With the collaboration of Wilson Daniels and our partner Alfa Romeo, I'm excited to activate this mission on such a large scale for the first time in the US. I look forward to meeting everyone and sharing a glass of Prosecco Superiore very soon!"
The coast-to-coast road tour will kick-off in Boston on April 26th, followed by stops in New York, Washington DC, Raleigh, Charleston, Miami, Tampa, Destin, New Orleans, Houston, Dallas, Phoenix, Las Vegas, and concluding in Los Angeles on May 19th. Each city will feature intimate tastings for the trade and press that showcase the wines' food pairing versatility, as well as large-scale consumer activations anchored by four marquee rooftop aperitivo celebrations in New York, Miami, Dallas, and Los Angeles, as detailed below.
"Most US consumers have become quite familiar with Prosecco DOC and have integrated this approachable, enjoyable sparkling wine into their everyday lives," said Rocco Lombardo, President of Wilson Daniels. "We're now at a pivotal moment in the category's development where there's opportunity to educate on the different quality tiers, and expand consumers' understanding of the nuanced terroir expressions throughout Valdobbiadene. Gianluca and his family have been producing these single-vineyard cru expressions of Superiore since before the region was officially classified as a DOCG in 2009. Coupled with Gianluca's passion and charismatic personality, there's really no better person to tell the quality story of Prosecco Superiore and what makes it distinct from other Prosecco wines."
In addition to its rich history of grape production dating back to 1542, Bisol1542 has extensive vineyard holdings throughout the Prosecco region, concentrated in Valdobbiadene and inclusive of 7 acres at the top of 'Chartice' — the most prestigious hill within the renowned Cartizze subzone. With a total of 20 vineyard holdings of varying slopes and exposures; a commitment to vineyard management and winemaking techniques that minimize environmental impact; and separate vinification based on soil type, Bisol1542 occupies a wholly unique position within the Prosecco Superiore landscape.

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Ill., July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Orsini Specialty Pharmacy, the leading independent specialty pharmacy focused on rare diseases and gene therapies, announced today that Marinus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has selected it as the exclusive specialty pharmacy for ZTALMY®(ganaxolone). ZTALMY is the first and only treatment approved specifically for seizures associated with CDKL5 deficiency disorder (CDD) in patients two years of age and older. For more information about ZTALMY, please see the Full Prescribing Information.
CDKL5 deficiency disorder (CDD) is a serious and rare genetic disorder caused by a cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 (CDKL5) gene mutation. The CDKL5 gene is located on the X chromosome and is responsible for processing proteins that are essential for normal brain function. CDD predominantly affects females and is characterized by early-onset, difficult-to-control seizures and severe neuro-developmental impairment. Many children diagnosed with CDD also experience scoliosis, visual impairment, sensory problems, gastrointestinal difficulties, and sleeping disorders.

Industry-Leading Safety Company Unveils Environmentally Friendly BumperSign Solar
DANVERS, Mass., Aug. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Safety experts McCue Corporation released its latest sustainable sign: BumperSign Solar. BumperSign Solar is a high-strength signage solution powered by solar energy.
Designed for busy parking lots, BumperSign Solar guides pedestrian traffic, online pickup, and specialized pickup options. It provides high visibility in darkness and automatically lights up at dusk.
This eco-friendly sign is designed using LED-batteries connected to a solar panel and rechargeable batteries, so it will generate power virtually anywhere and turn on every night.
"Designing an energy efficient signage solution is another step to helping our customers save on energy costs and help protect the planet," says Product Engineer Matt O'Brien.
Reusable and energy efficient, once installed, it will continue to charge itself through capturing sunlight and converting it into battery power. Even when there's no sunlight, its technology system can power the sign for up to 5 nights without receiving a charge.
With a strong, innerspring core, BumperSign Solar can withstand bumps and impacts in the parking lot. It's engineered to endure all the elements — with a self-draining design for snow and rain — to save customers from any maintenance costs.
Its modern design and customizability allow businesses to extend their brand all the way to the parking lot, making a cohesive and positive customer experience. It also has easy-to-customize illuminated nameplates that adhere to the sign to ensure branding will stand out.
It installs in 15 minutes or less, creating an organized and safe parking lot experience. No matter the layout of your parking lot, it can be placed almost anywhere, and it does not require the same power-grid consideration as traditional signs do — no excavating or power lines required.
BumperSign Solar will be available for orders starting September 2022.
McCue, a company with over 31 years of safety and damage prevention experience, has roots across the world. With offices in the U.S., China, and the UK, the company's main purpose is to make retail spaces and distribution centers work better and safer. Their innovative products are what make them leaders in the industry, and they're why customers continue to choose them for all their safety needs.
If you would like more information about this product, please contact McCue's Industrial Safety Barrier Team at (800) 800-8503 or email cservices@mccue.com.

Cycyota has been in his role since 2000, leading the organization in its commitment to developing and distributing lifesaving and life-enhancing allografts, which are tissue grafts from human donors. Under his leadership, AlloSource honored thousands of tissue donors' intent to help others by providing more than three million allografts for use in surgical procedures.
"My career at AlloSource speaks to the amazing possibilities of donated human tissue. It has been a great honor to serve as AlloSource's President and CEO, supporting its transformation and incredible growth in both the number of patients and surgeons we served as well as the amazing technologies we pioneered," said Cycyota. "I want to offer my sincere thanks to our employees and recovery partners whose hard work and dedication have allowed us to achieve so much over the last 22 years. I also want to thank AlloSource's customers, partners, communities, and Board of Directors for their ongoing support."
As the largest homegrown biotechnology company in Colorado and one of the largest tissue banks in the country, AlloSource's unique business requires a daily balancing act of creating innovative new allografts and processes, while also making decisions that honor each tissue donor's selfless gift. The more than 200 different types of allografts AlloSource produces are used in countless applications; from spinal fusions and shoulder rotator cuff repair to burn care and plastic and reconstruction surgeries.
"On behalf of the Board of Directors, the management team, and AlloSource's employees, we want to thank Tom for his leadership and impact over his more than two decades with the organization," said Diane Brockmeier, AlloSource Board Chair. "Tom's legacy is more than AlloSource's growth. We are grateful for his passionate leadership, which forged many business relationships and friendships. His personal compassion and commitment to honoring donor families has served as the centerpiece for the AlloSource culture. Please join me in thanking him for his commitment to AlloSource and its employees, as well as the organ, eye, and tissue donation community. We wish him nothing but the best in this next chapter."
The Board of Directors has begun the search for AlloSource's next President and CEO. Until a successor is found, Cycyota will remain in his President and CEO role to ensure a smooth transition for AlloSource's business, partners, and employees.

AlloSource, one of the largest human tissue providers, honors tissue donors by creating innovative dermal, cartilage, tendon, fascia, bone, amniotic, and living cellular allografts to help heal patients.

NEW YORK, June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dechert has published The Evolving Global Foreign Direct Investment and National Security Review Landscape, which surveys the rapidly evolving national security and FDI review landscape around the world.
Not only have new FDI regimes proliferated, but also there has been a tightening of existing regimes with an ever-growing number of market sectors viewed as strategically important and thus subject to heightened scrutiny.
These trendlines have converged with a surge in global dealmaking, adding to regulatory complexity and resulting in a growing list of deals that need to navigate potential FDI and national security concerns.
It is thus more important than ever to evaluate FDI screening risks early in the due diligence process, giving careful consideration to the risks and threats posed by buyers, investors and targets and to potential substantive (mitigation conditions) and procedural (timing) implications.
Dechert regularly advises foreign and domestic entities through the FDI review process, helping them determine if they should bring a transaction before the review body, consider the political and policy considerations that may arise, assemble the required information for a filing, and then (as necessary) negotiate with the review body in a manner that minimizes both delay and the imposition of conditions that might threaten the transaction.
Read The Evolving Global Foreign Direct Investment and National Security Review Landscape.
Dechert is a leading global law firm with 22 offices around the world. The firm advises on matters and transactions of the greatest complexity, bringing energy, creativity and efficient management of legal issues to deliver commercial and practical advice for clients.

Fox to televise 35 of 64 World Cup matches on main network
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Fox will televise 35 World Cup matches on its main Fox broadcast network. That includes all three U.S. first-round games in Qatar and all from the quarterfinals on. The total on the Fox network is down from 38 at the 2018 tournament in Russia. There will be 29 on the FS1 cable network. This year’s tournament was shifted from its usual June-July period until Nov. 21 to Dec. 18 because of the summer heat in Qatar. U.S. Spanish-language television rights are held by NBCUniversal’s Telemundo.

Proud Boys charged with seditious conspiracy in Capitol riot
(AP) - The former top leader of the far-right Proud Boys extremist group and other members have been charged with seditious conspiracy for what federal prosecutors say was a coordinated attack on the U.S. Capitol to stop Congress from certifying President Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral victory, authorities said Monday.
Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, the former Proud Boys chairman, and four others linked to the group are charged in the latest indictment against them. All five were previously charged with different conspiracy counts.
Tarrio, the group’s top leader, wasn’t in Washington, D.C., when the riot erupted on Jan. 6, 2021. Police arrested Tarrio in Washington two days before the riot and charged him with vandalizing a Black Lives Matter banner at a historic Black church during a protest in December 2020. Tarrio was released from jail on Jan. 14 after serving his five-month sentence for that case.
The new riot-related indictments against Proud Boys members are among the most serious filed so far, but they aren’t the first of their kind.
Eleven members or associates of the anti-government Oath Keepers militia group, including its founder and leader Stewart Rhodes, were indicted in January on seditious conspiracy charges in the Capitol attack.
More than three dozen people charged in the Capitol siege have been identified by federal authorities as Proud Boys leaders, members or associates.
A New York man pleaded guilty in December to storming the U.S. Capitol with fellow Proud Boys members. Matthew Greene was the first Proud Boys member to publicly plead guilty to conspiring with other members to stop Congress from certifying the Electoral College vote. Greene agreed to cooperate with authorities.
On the morning of Jan. 6, Proud Boys members met at the Washington Monument and marched to the Capitol before then-President Donald Trump finished speaking to thousands of supporters near the White House.
Just before Congress convened a joint session to certify the election results, a group of Proud Boys followed a crowd of people who breached barriers at a pedestrian entrance to the Capitol grounds, an indictment says. Several Proud Boys also entered the Capitol building itself after the mob smashed windows and forced open doors.
Prosecutors have said the Proud Boys arranged for members to communicate using specific frequencies on Baofeng radios. The Chinese-made devices can be programmed for use on hundreds of frequencies, making it difficult for outsiders to eavesdrop.
In December, a federal judge refused to dismiss an earlier indictment charging four alleged leaders of the far-right Proud Boys with conspiracy. U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly rejected defense attorneys’ arguments that the four men — Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl and Charles Donohoe — were charged with conduct that is protected by the First Amendment right to free speech.
Nordean, of Auburn, Washington, was a Proud Boys chapter president and a member of the group’s national “Elders Council.” Biggs, of Ormond Beach, Florida, is a self-described Proud Boys organizer. Rehl was president of the Proud Boys chapter in Philadelphia. Donohoe, of Kernersville, North Carolina, also served as president of his local chapter, according to the indictment.
Proud Boys members describe the group as a politically incorrect men’s club for “Western chauvinists.” Its members frequently have brawled with antifascist activists at rallies and protests. Vice Media co-founder Gavin McInnes, who founded the Proud Boys in 2016, sued the Southern Poverty Law Center for labeling it as a hate group.

You can own a piece of Holt Arena’s history
POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI) – As the renovation project moves forward inside Idaho State University’s Holt Arena, a number of the venue’s old seats will be made available for purchase.
The iconic seats will be sold for $50 each, and the purchase will be packaged with additional Holt Arena 50-year memorabilia and University apparel.
All funds raised through the seat purchases will be placed in the Champions Fund to advance initiatives and projects in the Department of Athletics.
“We recognize that many of our Bengal fans and boosters want to own a seat from the iconic venue,” Athletic Director Pauline Thiros said. “Purchasing a seat from Holt Arena’s past will support our University’s future, and all funds raised will benefit our student-athletes.”
The university is collecting contact information through an online form from those who would like to purchase Holt Arena’s old seats. At this phase, the goal is to gauge interest and carefully preserve an ample supply of seats during the removal process. Since the seats are being removed as part of the demolition phase, the University is not able to guarantee that specific colors or exact seats will be available for purchase. Requests to purchase seats will be collected through the online form until November 30, 2022. More information is available HERE.
“Holt Arena has been home to so many events for more than 50 years, and many in our community, including myself, have fond memories sitting in those seats. The improvements we are making will greatly enhance the venue and elevate its presence for the next 50 years,” Thiros said.
To also support Idaho State’s academic mission, about 500 of Holt Arena’s old seats were set aside to be used at the Disaster Response Complex. The University’s on-campus complex provides hands-on training for emergency responders in a number of disaster scenarios. The seats will be part of training exercises for local first responders.
In 2021, the University announced a multi-million dollar renovation project to upgrade the Holt Arena and improve the fan experience. The timeline for the project is approximately two years, and the first phase focuses on the north side. A seating renovation on the south side of the arena will occur in 2023, after the 2022 football season.

ROCKVILLE, Md., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. retail sales of dog and cat food approached $40 billion in 2021, up 15% over 2020, according to Packaged Facts' just-released Pet Food in the U.S. (September 2022). Over the 2017-2021 period, dog and cat food garnered a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11%.
Recent inflationary prices for pet food only partially spurred that growth. If the pet food market is not wholly proof against hard times, it's very hardily resistant, as proven in the wake of COVID.
Double-digit sales growth in the pet food market—large and ostensibly mature as it is—is driven by ongoing product premiumization, if not "superpremiumization." This long-running trend is currently epitomized by the success of the fresh (refrigerated/frozen) pet food category. Fresh pet food tilts toward human-grade in formulation and to direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales in distribution, albeit now trending rapidly into brick-and-mortar as well. This is market revolution, not evolution.
The writing on the wall for fresh pet food is more like a flashing neon Times Square billboard. Refrigerated pet food pioneer Freshpet is projecting 2025 revenue in the $1 billion to $1.25 billion range. Sealing the deal on the future of fresh, Mars launched its Cesar Fresh Chef refrigerated dog food line in December 2021, and acquired DTC fresh pet food marketer NomNomNow in January 2022.
More broadly speaking, "regular" formulation isn't cutting it for pet food sales growth. Only half of dog and cat owners use regular/adult formulation pet food, in tandem with heightened pet owner attention to the health and wellness needs of pets.
In this vein, pet food sales are benefiting from a reinvigorated focus on superpremium, science-based diets and treats—partly in the wake of the DCM (Dilated Cardiomyopathy) dog food scare, but more broadly due to increased pet-health consciousness in this age of COVID.
Moreover, Packaged Facts reports that 38% of dog owners and 36% of cat owners like the idea of pet food backed by scientific research. Hill's Pet Nutrition, the pioneer of veterinary clinical nutrition with Hill's Prescription Diet pet food, saw full-year net sales for the pet food rising 14% to $3.3 billion. An important focus for Hill's, and a buzzword pet industry-wide, is microbiome.
One of most striking aspects of the current wave of science-based pet foods, according to Pet Food in the U.S. author Shannon Brown, is the overlap of the "natural" and "vet-formulated" themes for product positioning, including in the DTC space. Vet's Kitchen dog and cat foods—"Fresh. Wholesome. Vet-Approved"—exemplifies this product innovation current.

1 runner killed in crash at race in North Carolina
LINVILLE, N.C. (WBTV/Gray News) - Multiple people were injured and one killed after an accident involving a vehicle on Thursday night at Grandfather Mountain.
According to Avery County EMS, a woman was killed and at least three other runners were injured when they were hit by a van.
Participants were preparing to run “The Bear” footrace when the crash occurred shortly after 7 p.m. at the intersection of U.S. 221 and N.C. Highway 105.
Runners had been lined up at the starting line and were scheduled to run five miles to the top of Grandfather Mountain.
State police are handling the investigation. Officials told WBTV they believe the crash was a “terrible accident.”
The race was part of the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games and was immediately canceled following the incident.
“On behalf of myself and the entire Grandfather Mountain Highland Games organization and family, we are deeply saddened by tonight’s devastating event and extend our condolences to those affected,” Grandfather Mountain Highland Games President Steve Quillin said.
The remaining Highland Games activities will continue as planned, according to a Facebook post.

LONGMONT, Colo., May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- S&W Seed Company (Nasdaq: SANW) today announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 ended March 31, 2022.
"Over the last few months, S&W has undergone a strategic review of its operations and future growth opportunities to identify key centers of value, while moving to align our cost structure to support those key centers and assess other potential value generating transactions to drive the business towards profitability," commented Mark Wong, President & CEO of S&W Seed Company. "Going forward, we intend to primarily focus our efforts on three key components of value within S&W, including our U.S. sorghum operations led by Double Team, our international forage operations, and our specialty crops consisting of stevia and camelina. Additionally, we are working on various alternative strategies for unlocking value within our U.S. forage operations, which includes unique germplasm, as well as valuable research and production facilities. The culmination of this focus should position S&W to drive towards profitability and enable value creation in the years to come as we work to further grow market share and prove out high potential opportunities."
"We continue to expect the Double Team sorghum solution to be a lead value driver for us. We are currently working on maximizing our production capabilities to meet the strong demand in the market as well as potential licensing opportunities. The farmer response, shown by strong sales of the product in this first year, has been tremendous, reinforcing our vision of revolutionizing the sorghum market by introducing a first of its kind non-GMO herbicide tolerant solution."
"In connection with the strategic review, we plan to take certain steps that are expected to reduce our annual operating expenses by approximately $5 million, are exploring the possibility of combining our wheat efforts in Australia and are taking steps to rationalize our European sunflower operations. Further, during February and March 2022, we raised approximately $11.2 million through a combination of a private placement and ATM sales to help improve our balance sheet," Wong concluded.
ATM Sales and Private Placement
On February 18, 2022, S&W Seed Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with MFP Partners, L.P., pursuant to which the Company sold and issued equity securities in a private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5.0 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $6.2 million from the sale of 2,633,900 shares of its common stock pursuant to an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement.
Financial Results
Core Revenue (which we define as total revenue, excluding product revenue attributable to Pioneer) for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $23.2 million, compared to Core Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 of $23.9 million, a decrease of ($0.7) million or (2.9%).
As announced in May 2019, S&W entered into a termination agreement and an alfalfa license agreement with Pioneer Hi-Bred International, a subsidiary of Corteva Agriscience, to replace its prior alfalfa distribution agreement with Pioneer. Due to these agreements with Pioneer, S&W discloses Core Revenue as a metric to track performance of its business for periods in which product revenue attributable to Pioneer is reflected. The decrease in Core Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 can be primarily attributed to lower sales into Australia and South Africa regions, offset by higher sales in the United States.
Total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $23.2 million, compared to total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 of $32.4 million. As of March 31, 2021, S&W had fully recorded all revenue from Pioneer under the May 2019 agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, S&W recorded no sales to Pioneer, compared to $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
GAAP gross margins during the third quarter of fiscal 2022 were 11.7% compared to GAAP gross margins of 19.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Adjusted gross margins, excluding the impact of inventory write-downs (see Table A1), were 16.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to 20.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.
GAAP operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 were $8.9 million, compared to $8.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 included the impact of a one-time $1.3 million gain on the sale of the Five Points facility in January 2021.
GAAP net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $(7.4) million, or $(0.19) per basic and diluted share, compared to GAAP net loss of $(1.8) million, or $(0.05) per basic and diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.
Adjusted net loss (see Table A2) for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $(7.2) million, or $(0.18) per basic and diluted share, excluding change in contingent consideration obligation, and interest expense – amortization of debt discount. Adjusted net loss (see Table A2) for the third quarter of fiscal 2021, excluding change in contingent consideration obligation and interest expense – amortization of debt discount, was $(2.4) million, or $(0.07) per basic and diluted share.
Adjusted EBITDA (see Table B) for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $(4.5) million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $(0.2) million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.
Fiscal 2022 Revenue Guidance
S&W continues to expect fiscal 2022 Core Revenue and Total Revenue to be within a range of $80 to $85 million, representing an expected increase of 15% to 20% compared to fiscal 2021 Core Revenue of $69.8 million.
Conference Call
S&W Seed Company has scheduled a conference call for Monday, May 16, 2022, at 11:00 am ET (8:00 am PT) to review these results and provide more information regarding the Company's recent strategic review.

A webcast replay will be available in the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at http://www.swseedco.com/investors for 30 days.
Accompanying today's financial results, the company has issued a slide presentation further discussing its important components of its strategic review and focus on key centers of value which will be accessible on the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at http://www.swseedco.com/investors.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to financial results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), we have provided the following non-GAAP financial measures in this release and the accompanying tables: adjusted gross margins; adjusted net loss; adjusted net loss per share; and adjusted EBITDA. We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally to facilitate period-to-period comparisons and analysis of our operating performance and liquidity, and believe they are useful to investors as a supplement to GAAP measures in analyzing, trending and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. However, these measures are not intended to be a substitute for those reported in accordance with GAAP. These measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.
For reconciliations of historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable financial measures under GAAP, see Tables A-1, A-2 and B accompanying this release.
In order to calculate these non-GAAP financial measures, we make targeted adjustments to certain GAAP financial line items found on our Consolidated Statement of Operations, backing out non-recurring or unique items or items that we believe otherwise distort the underlying results and trends of the ongoing business. We have excluded the following items from one or more of our non-GAAP financial measures for the periods presented:
Selling, general and administrative expenses; operating expenses. We exclude from operating expenses a portion of SG&A expense related to non-recurring transaction expenses related to acquisitions. Such acquisition-related expenses include non-recurring transaction fees, due diligence costs and other direct costs associated with our acquisitions. These amounts are unrelated to our core performance during any particular period and are impacted by the timing of the acquisition. We exclude acquisition-related expenses from our SG&A expense and total operating expenses to provide investors a method to compare our operating results to prior periods and to peer companies, as such amounts can vary significantly based on the frequency of acquisitions and the magnitude of acquisition expenses.
Change in contingent consideration obligation. The change in contingent consideration obligation represents our estimated change in the value of contingent earn-out related to the February 2020 acquisition of Pasture Genetics. These amounts are non-cash and are unrelated to our core performance during any particular period. We believe it is useful to exclude these amounts in order to better understand our business performance and allow investors to compare our results with peer companies.
Interest expense – amortization of debt discount. Amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs are primarily related to our working capital lines of credit and term loans. These amounts are non-cash charges and are unrelated to our core performance during any particular period. We believe it is useful to exclude these amounts in order to better understand our business performance and allow investors to compare our results with peer companies.
Descriptions of the non-GAAP financial measures included in this release and the accompanying tables are as follows:
Adjusted gross margins. We define adjusted gross margins as gross margins, adjusted to exclude the impact of inventory write-downs. We believe that the use of adjusted gross margins is useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because it provides a method to compare our operating results to prior periods and to peer companies after making adjustments for amounts that can vary significantly from period to period.
Adjusted net loss and loss per share. We define non-GAAP net loss as net loss less non-recurring transaction costs, change in contingent consideration obligation and interest expense - amortization of debt discount. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information for evaluating our operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net loss, adjusted to exclude non-recurring transaction costs from SG&A, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation, foreign currency (gain) loss, change in contingent consideration obligation, interest expense – amortization of debt discount, interest expense, gain on sale of marketable securities and provision for income taxes. We believe that the use of adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because it provides them with an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and across periods. We use adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with traditional GAAP operating performance measures as part of our overall assessment of our performance, for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and to communicate with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. Management does not place undue reliance on adjusted EBITDA as its only measure of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP.

DUBUQUE,Iowa, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Flexsteel continues to implement key strategies that support the reduction of custom order lead times and better serve the demands of the market.
With the company's investment in production capacity and inventory, the no holds barred approach to reducing the backlog achieved a lead time of 4 weeks for their customers. "It is the lowest average lead time across the board in my 25 years with the company," comments Tim Newlin, Vice President of Product at Flexsteel. Another Flexsteel strategic initiative provided a distribution center in Pennsylvania, serving the Northeast markets to satisfy the need for quicker delivery.
The company also recognizes the value of special-order business in today's environment. Special orders flow in and out as opposed to stocked products that require warehouse space. In an effort to sell more customized products, Flexsteel invested in digital capabilities such as draping and AR. The user can first cover the product digitally in the fabric selection of their choosing, and then use their mobile device to visualize it in their home. Buyer remorse is reduced, and it adds an element of fun to the process. This has quickly become one of the most popular features on the Flexsteel.com website.
As a result of rapid success with the investment strategy and falling lead times, Flexsteel saw additional growth in all product categories, but especially within their South Haven collection. This curated collection of fabrics across hundreds of Flexsteel items with simplified pricing has long been a hit with retailers and consumers. As special-order business came back with lead times dropping, that led to the addition of new and existing products to the collection. That included motion groups, recliners, stationary groups, accent chairs, poufs, and a fresh fabric selection launched at April 2022 High Point Market.
"Our lead times on domestically made Flexsteel products continue to improve as we invest in our growth and ramp up our North American manufacturing capacity. This led us to double down on our already popular South Haven program and our retailers responded immediately with new placements, recovers of existing frames and by adding new categories. It was great to see the excitement over these changes." said David Crimmins, VP of Sales at Flexsteel.
With the current supply chain challenges happening around the world, Flexsteel is a leading expert in manufacturing comfortable well-tailored furniture in Mexico. The company has had a growing presence in Juarez which was established in 2006. Juarez has grown from its original factory within the last two years to include a second and third facility in close proximity. These expansions facilitated the growth of all product categories and a reduction of the already mentioned lead times.
Continuing the momentum of a customer focused vision, Flexsteel engaged their retailers with in-person, phone, virtual and written engagements on what is working and more importantly what needed improvement. David Crimmins commented on the outcome, "In recent months our retailers participated in Voice of the Customer feedback. In total, we completed over 600 live interviews and 500 surveys. Throughout this process, we have implemented the ideas we collected for improvement where attainable for our retail partners." As a result, the company has already actioned updates to their Backroom customer portal. Those updates included new order status communication and visibility, track and trace capabilities and price list updates to improve retailers and ultimately the consumers' experience.
With great dedication, Flexsteel intends to continue to focus on providing retailers with transparency regarding customer orders and delivering to the consumer exactly what they want within a reasonable amount of time. All this leads to a happy customer and happy retailer. That is a win-win!

Product leaders to continue building on growth of audience targeting solutions
NEW YORK, July 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dstillery, the custom audience solutions company, promoted two product executives as part of its development of innovative AI technology that empowers programmatic advertising agencies to target their clients' ideal customers. Taejin (TJ) In is Senior Vice President of Product, and Mark Jung fills the role of Vice President of Product, Data Marketplace and Channels.
Both long-time employees played pivotal roles in launching ID-free Custom AI™, Dstillery's new, patented targeting solution that performs on par with cookies without user tracking.
In has been with the company since 2010. As SVP, he oversees the product strategy and development of Dstillery's industry-leading, data science-driven targeting products, including the evolution into cookieless targeting.

"TJ is a driving force behind significant invention and innovation throughout the company's product line," said Michael Beebe, Dstillery CEO. "He is passionate about developing and executing a product roadmap that creates and inspires new thinking in the cookieless future.That motivation is an incredible asset as we reimagine the future of audience targeting."
In 2012, Jung began working in advertising operations at Dstillery. He soon moved to the product department, where he quickly became a critical member of the product management team. From leading development of the company's former self-service demand-side platform, to its transformation into a data company, Jung was a key contributor to the success of many of Dstillery's core product offerings. He now directs the product strategy and roadmap for activation of cookieless targeting products across marketplaces and channels.
"As a member of our team for almost a decade, Mark has been integral to our success, overseeing many core products and navigating our strategy across critical industry transitions," said In. "We wouldn't be where we are today without his expertise, vision and diligence."
This is the second round of executive promotions by Dstillery in 2022. Amanda White was named Vice President of Data Science Research, and Patti Boyle is now Chief Marketing Officer.
Dstillery anticipates future growth amid the transition into a cookieless future. The company is working to expand the capabilities and implementation of ID-free Custom AI. The solution, available today, addresses user privacy concerns at face value while also performing at the standard set by cookies.

Rappers Young Thug, Gunna remain jailed in racketeering case
ATLANTA (AP) — Rappers Young Thug and Gunna remain jailed on racketeering charges in Atlanta following a court hearing in the wide-ranging gang case.
A judge denied bond Monday for Gunna, whose given name is Sergio Kitchens, after the rapper pleaded not guilty at his arraignment.
Fulton County prosecutors asked that he remain jailed, telling the judge some state witnesses have been threatened.
A bond hearing for Young Thug, whose given name is Jeffery Williams, has been postponed until next month. Both rappers were charged in a sweeping indictment along with 26 others for violating Georgia’s anti-racketeering law as members of a violent street gang that prosecutors say committed multiple murders, shootings and carjackings.
Attorneys for the two men deny the accusations.

Which Maytag top-load washer is best?
Everyone needs to wash their clothes and no one likes doing it by hand. Maytag top-load washers have all the features you want and need, and its prices are difficult to beat. And the best Maytag top-load washer is the Maytag 5.3-Cubic-Foot Smart-Capable Top-Load Washing Machine. It has plenty of space for handling large loads, and it’s Energy Star certified.
What to know before you buy a Maytag top-load washer
Pros and cons of a Maytag top-load washer
Maytag top-load washers have several pros and cons.
- Pros: Top-load washers are more affordable than front-loaders, and Maytag is an affordable mid-range brand. They are easier to load and unload and tend to have larger capacities and quicker cycles than front-loaders. They also have a lower leak risk.
- Cons: Top-load washers tend to make more noise as the wash basket knocks against the walls. They use more energy and water than front-loaders, even if they’re high-efficiency. They can’t be stacked, either, which may leave you with too little space in your laundry room.
Size and capacity
Maytag top-load washers have an external size and an internal capacity. The two rarely directly correlate.
- Size determines how much space your washer will take up. As top-loaders can’t be stacked, size is of greater importance with them than with a front-loader. You need to leave room for your dryer, after all.
- Capacity determines how many clothes can be washed at once and is given in cubic feet. Small households can comfortably get by with less than 4 cubic feet while large households will likely need 5 cubic feet or more.
High efficiency
High-efficiency Maytag top-load washers use less energy and water but clean just as effectively. They usually have larger capacities, but you can still find small-capacity models. The only downside is the need to use specialized HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent will break your HE washer.
Impeller vs. agitator mixers
Maytag top-load washers use either impeller or agitator mixers.
- Impeller mixers use a no-post disk that rotates, causing clothes to gently rub against each other to scrub out stains. There’s no risk of tearing but the clothes may not get as clean.
- Agitator mixers use a center post with fins that twists back and forth, forcing clothes to sharply rub against each other to scrub out stains. Clothes tend to get cleaner but there’s a risk of damage.
What to look for in a quality Maytag top-load washer
Cycle options
Most Maytag top-load washers have multiple cycle options outside of the standards such as delicate and large load. Some of the more common cycles include deep-water rinse, extra power and a customizable cycle that can be saved.
Energy Star certification
When a Maytag top-load washer is listed as Energy Star certified, it has been independently examined and observed to meet the minimum requirements for energy efficiency. This means it will have less impact on the environment and your bank account. It’s important to point out “minimum” here, as you’ll need an Energy Star-certified high-efficiency washer for maximum efficiency.
How much you can expect to spend on a Maytag top-load washer
Maytag is an excellent mid-range brand and its prices reflect that. Its best and biggest options rarely exceed $1,000 with most washers costing $800-$1,000. Its cheapest cost around $600.
Maytag top-load washer FAQ
How do I fix a Maytag top-load washer that isn’t draining?
A. There are two likely causes. The first is simply that you overfilled your washing machine. However, if that isn’t the case, the issue is likely with your plumbing — most probably some kind of clog in the line. You’ll need to hire a plumber.
What kind of Maytag top-load washer is quietest?
A. No washing machine will ever be quiet, but there are a few aspects you can prioritize that lead to quieter operation. Look for high-efficiency washers and those with impeller mixers. Also, consider placing your Maytag washer as far from common spaces as possible.

The show now serves as lead-in for the network's flagship program "Closing Arguments with Vinnie Politan" (8-10 p.m. ET).

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- VistaPath, the leading provider of artificial intelligence (AI)-based, data-driven pathology processing platforms, today announced that VistaPath Sentinel was validated in a clinical setting after a collaboration with PathAI, a global leader in AI-powered pathology. VistaPath Sentinel is the world's first automated tissue grossing platform.
The Sentinel is a first-of-its-kind tissue grossing platform that automates the process of receiving, assessing, and processing tissue samples. Designed to make tissue grossing faster, safer, and easier, the Sentinel uses a high-quality video system to assess specimens and create a gross report 93% faster than human technicians with 43% more accuracy. It not only improves on quality by continuously monitoring the cassette, container, and tissue to reduce mislabeling and specimen mix-up, but also increases traceability by retaining original images for downstream review.
"Despite informing a majority of clinical decisions, anatomical pathology still prepares samples for diagnosis manually, in stark contrast to other clinical lab services. Our work with PathAI has proven our ability to modernize this critical lab process," said Timothy Spong, CEO of VistaPath. "This is a complimentary partnership of AI technologies. PathAI's validation of the Sentinel in a clinical setting has charted the course for broader use of the device in the clinical market, following our FDA and ISO27001 compliance earlier this year."
For customers like PathAI, the Sentinel adds another level of sophistication to their workflow by providing automated grossing, making the process faster, cheaper and with fewer errors. "We joined with a top anatomic pathology laboratory to establish a new type of modern lab, PathAI Diagnostics. This commitment to usher in a new era of precision pathology requires partners that can transform other parts of the laboratory process outside of the diagnosis itself; VistaPath offers a technology that can automate grossing," said Dr. Andy Beck, CEO and Co-Founder of PathAI. "Implementing the Sentinel into our clinical workflow can tremendously impact our diagnostic laboratory process management with a high-quality, AI-focused solution."
VistaPath is modernizing pathology labs using computer vision and artificial intelligence. They provide clients with significant quality, workflow, and strategic benefits with the overall goal of delivering improved results for pathologists, clinicians, and patients. The Sentinel is the company's first product. Learn more at vistapathbio.com.

Nine people were treated for dehydration and scores of others fled the scene when authorities discovered up to 100 undocumented workers in the trailer of a broken-down semi in rural Texas, officials said Friday.
The truck became disabled on a rural highway about 2 miles north of the town of Ganado. When authorities investigated just after 7 a.m. CT, they discovered a packed trailer. They apprehended 10 people while others ran from the scene.
Jackson Sheriff Kelly R. Janica told reporters nine people were hospitalized with dehydration and at least four of them have been released.
People from the trailer told him they did not have drinks or any provisions, he said.
"Evidently they came during the night, so that was (Thursday), and this morning they hadn't had any water whatsoever," the sheriff said.
He said it "may have been a blessing that the truck broke down" where it did because one man who could speak English told him they were heading much farther north.
A news release from the sheriff's office said 64 people, including the truck driver were detained, and there might "still be 40 undocumented individuals that have not been apprehended." The undocumented workers were to be turned over to US Customs and Border Protection, the sheriff told reporters.
The people were from Ecuador, El Salvador, Honduras and at least one other country, the sheriff said.
Janica said there haven't been any other incidents of this magnitude with undocumented workers in his county. Most involve just a few people, he said, with some stops of up to 20 individuals.
According to CNN affiliate KHOU, people who fled were found on Dr. Robert Burlingame's property.
"I spotted two of them in the cornfields," Burlingame told the Houston-based station. "These guys were so desperate for water, you just hollered 'water' and they'd come running out."
The sheriff said deputies would not be searching for more people but will be in the area overnight and Saturday to offer aid to people who need it.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Darren McFadden and Felix Jones make for some serious company. Rocket Sanders can now say he’s there with those all-time Arkansas running backs.
The Razorbacks’ sophomore running back ran for a career-high 156 yards and two touchdowns in helping the No. 16 Razorbacks beat South Carolina 44-30 on Saturday.
Sanders joined McFadden, twice a Heisman Trophy finalist, and Jones, the player with the sixth-most yards rushing in school history, as the only three Arkansas players to run for 150 yards and two scores against the Gamecocks.
“Um, that’s good,” Sanders said after the game. He half-chuckled his next sentence.
“Of course I want to be better than those guys.”
Sanders ran for 578 yards and five touchdowns in his first season last year. With returning starter Dominique Johnson still sidelined recovering from a knee injury suffered in the Outback Bowl, Sanders has taken nearly all of the first-team reps. The result has been a 2-0 start for his team and him becoming the first Razorbacks player since 2019 with back-to-back 100-yard games.
Sanders scored the first two touchdowns of the game as Arkansas (2-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) found the end zone on each of its first three possessions against South Carolina and opened a 21-3 lead. The Gamecocks (1-1, 0-1) responded with two straight scores at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second to pull within 21-16.
Sanders wouldn’t score again as KJ Jefferson was the keystone for a bulk of the Razorbacks’ second-half touchdowns, but he ran for 95 of his 156 yards in the final 30 minutes.
Arkansas ran for 295 yards, and AJ Green and Rashod Dubinion also chipped in touchdowns.
“I was really proud of our offensive line. We asked them to kind of control the game and I felt like they did. I think the offensive line wore them down,” Pittman said.
Jefferson led a 14-play, 59-yard drive capped with his own 2-yard rushing touchdown at the start of the fourth quarter to move Arkansas back ahead by two scores. South Carolina lost a fumble on its next possession and Jefferson added a touchdown pass to Warren Thompson in response, ultimately putting the Gamecocks too far behind to rally.
Spencer Rattler tried. The Oklahoma transfer threw for 371 yards and a touchdown on 23 of 38 passing with a touchdown for South Carolina, but was intercepted in the end zone midway through the fourth quarter by Dwight McGlothern. The Gamecocks had three turnovers.
Jefferson was 18 of 21 passing for 162 yards and a touchdown. He ran for another 67 yards and the score on 19 carries.
“I thought he played better today than he did last week. I thought he was more accurate,” Pittman said. “I thought he was in total control. … He pretty much can take over the game when he wants to.”
Johnson is expected to return in Week 3 against Missouri State. He might find himself short on carries as Sanders’ development has put the sophomore in high company.
“I think he’s becoming an all-around back a little bit more,” Pittman said. “I thought he played really, really well. Two 100-yard days back-to-back is pretty good. He’s a better back than he was a year ago.”
THE TAKEAWAY
South Carolina: The Gamecocks had moments, but consistency was lacking in coach Shane Beamer’s second year.
Arkansas: The Razorbacks’ defense held up well without two starters in the secondary, including former freshman All-America safety Jalen Catalon.
A BIG LOSS IN A BIG WIN
Pittman said after the game that preseason All-SEC safety Jalen Catalon would miss the rest of the season because of a shoulder injury. Catalon was lost midway through Arkansas’ win over Cincinnati last week.
Catalon was a freshman All-American two seasons ago, but missed the back-half of the Razorbacks’ season last year because of a shoulder injury.
IT’S BEEN A WHILE
Arkansas’ win over South Carolina was the Razorbacks’ first since 2011. The teams had met only three times since before Saturday with the Gamecocks winning each.
POLL IMPLICATIONS
Arkansas likely won’t do any worse than staying put at No. 16 when the polls are released Sunday.

While some workers return to the office this year, many others continue to work remotely indefinitely. This seismic shift has changed where people live and work and, increasingly, how they travel.
In the first quarter of 2022, nearly 25% of job postings at the 50,000 largest companies in the U.S. and Canada were for permanently remote positions, according to the job listing service Ladders. That’s up from a mere 4% before the pandemic.
“It has enabled us to extend trips, leave early and work different hours,” says Kirsten Reckman, a credit risk manager based in Tampa, Florida, who works remotely. “My boss is very accommodating as long as the work gets done.”
Reckmen’s experience reflects a larger trend. One in five travelers this summer plan to do work on the road, according to a report from Deloitte, an international professional services network. Of these so-called “laptop luggers,” 4 in 5 plan to extend the length of their trips because of schedule flexibility.
THE RISE OF ‘BLEISURE’ TRAVEL
Remote work has blurred the line between business and personal travel. Rather than leaving home rarely for vacation, remote workers can travel at any time. This has the potential to upend longstanding travel trends.
“Many travelers who have the opportunity are choosing to combine remote working with trips for a change of scene as well as maximizing PTO,” or paid time off, explains Mark Crossey, traveler expert at Skyscanner, a travel search engine and agency. “Workations allow people with flexible home and work lives to become ‘half tourists’ for a period of time.”
This kind of freedom appeals to Lisa Wickstrom, a mortgage underwriter based in Arizona who now works from around the world with only a suitcase.
“I got three weeks of vacation before,” says Wickstrom, “But I never feel like I have to take vacation time because … I’m always on vacation.”
For the travel industry, these nomads offer enormous opportunities. Remote workers can spend far more time — and money — at far-flung destinations. Yet “bleisure” travelers don’t fit the typical tourist mold.
“You can’t just go freely everywhere,” explains Derek Midkiff, a patent attorney who left San Diego during the pandemic and never looked back. “You’re living somewhere but also working. Someone asks me, ‘Did you do this and this,’ and I have to say, ‘No, I’m working, it’s not the same as when you’re on vacation.’”
TRAVEL DAYS ARE CHANGING
Before the pandemic, it was expensive to fly on the weekends and cheaper during the week. That could all be shifting with remote work.
According to data from Hopper, a travel booking app, the cost of domestic flights on Sundays and Mondays has risen 5.90% and 2.97%, respectively, in 2022 compared to 2019, while the cost of flying on Friday and Saturday has dropped by 3.04% and 1.60%. It’s now cheaper to fly on a Saturday than a Monday, on average.
Further, remote workers can take longer trips during busy holidays, flattening the “peak” of peak travel dates.
“Since 2020, we’ve observed a small but noticeable shift toward Thursday departures for Memorial Day weekend itineraries,” says Craig Ewer, spokesperson for Google Flights, “which suggests that location flexibility is indeed having an impact on traveler behaviors.”
AN INDUSTRY ADAPTS
Many workers fled large cities during the pandemic, filling the suburbs and rural areas. But remote work has changed the calculus more drastically for some, freeing up budgets to allow more travel.
“I save over $2,000 a month after taxes by living in Florida,” says Reckman. “We’re traveling a lot more because of that.”
Lower cost of living and tax incentives means more freedom for some remote workers. And some companies are seeing a potential windfall.
Airbnb, the vacation rental platform, reports that the number of long-term stays (over 28 days) doubled in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 2019. The company has even introduced an “I’m Flexible” search functionality for travelers who don’t need to get back to an office on a specific date.
“I’ve found Airbnb to be cheaper, and have better rules,” says Midkiff, explaining why he chooses vacation rentals over hotels. “And I like to stay a month to get the discount.”
REMOTE WORK IS HERE
No longer constrained by vacation days and getting back from a trip by Monday, remote workers have shifted the travel landscape, maybe for good. While executives continue to hem and haw over return-to-office plans, remote workers are happily sending emails from afar.
“I think about the office politics, the baby showers, all that,” says Wickstrom with a shudder. “I can’t even imagine doing all that again.”

Covalent completes installation of a new, cutting-edge JEOL JEM-F200 microscope with a cold-field-emission gun (CFEG) source and a Gatan Imaging Filter for EELS and EFTEM.
SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Covalent Metrology, a leading North-American analytical services provider, announced today that it has significantly expanded its capacity and capabilities for (Scanning) Transmission Electron Microscopy (S/TEM). The JEM-F200 S/TEM from JEOL, a leading manufacturer of analytical instruments based in Japan, streamlines analysis and permits more flexible sample types, including beam-sensitive and magnetic materials. Clients working with semiconductors, batteries, nanomaterials, and more will benefit from atomic-scale imaging and EDS mapping, along with new energy-filtered TEM (EFTEM) and high-resolution EELS services that can help to design, optimize, and accelerate manufacturing processes.
The CFEG and advanced optics in the tool provide exceptional beam stability and performance. High spatial resolution, high current, and narrow energy spread on the tool produce atomic-scale resolution for both imaging and spectroscopic analysis.
The narrow energy spread additionally facilitates high energy resolution (0.3 eV) for EELS and EFTEM on the equipped Gatan GIF Continuum ER system. EELS enables elemental composition mapping, low-loss and plasmon resonance analysis, and fine-structure/oxidation state determination for nanoelectronic materials. EFTEM provides significant benefits for analyzing light-element materials, allowing Covalent to address many common challenges in battery and memory devices.
The JEM-F200 also substantially improves Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX/EDS), with paired detectors working simultaneously to accelerate collection times. Rapid spectroscopic analysis and high current from the CFEG preserve high spatial resolution at low-dose conditions (below 2 Angstroms at 80kV) for beam-sensitive materials, such as those used in photovoltaics.
"Covalent is thrilled to enhance our S/TEM microanalysis capabilities and to better serve clients in advanced research communities, which demand atomic resolution for complex device structures, light element analysis, and nanoscale defects," says Dr. Yihung Lin, Vice President and Head of Analytical Services at Covalent Metrology. "Bringing EELS in-house and expanding our TEM capacity will reduce turnaround time and expand our solutions for clients working with semiconductors, batteries, or nanomaterials."
The JEM-F200 installation marks another step forward in Covalent's partnership with JEOL. Covalent has already installed the JCM-IT800HL high-resolution SEM, a JCM-7000 benchtop SEM, and an IB-19520CCP ion-mill cross-section polisher in its Silicon Valley lab.
Bob Pohorenec, President of JEOL USA, noted, "The installation of the JEM-F200 in our joint demo facility with Covalent positions JEOL to better showcase the breakthrough capabilities of the tool throughout the West Coast of North America. This location and the unique applications development at Covalent allow us to demonstrate the microscope's potency in a variety of industries based in the Silicon Valley and beyond."

Idaho gas prices tick up
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - Average gasoline prices in Idaho have risen 1.3 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $4.41/g Monday, according to GasBuddy's survey of 802 stations in Idaho.
Prices in Idaho are 0.7 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and stand $1.32/g higher than a year ago.
According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Idaho was priced at $4.07/g while the most expensive was $5.29/g, a difference of $1.22/g.
Historical gasoline prices in Idaho and the national average going back 10 years:
- May 2, 2021: $3.09/g (U.S. Average: $2.89/g)
May 2, 2020: $1.76/g (U.S. Average: $1.76/g)
May 2, 2019: $3.05/g (U.S. Average: $2.90/g)
May 2, 2018: $3.06/g (U.S. Average: $2.82/g)
May 2, 2017: $2.54/g (U.S. Average: $2.37/g)
May 2, 2016: $2.26/g (U.S. Average: $2.22/g)
May 2, 2015: $2.69/g (U.S. Average: $2.61/g)
May 2, 2014: $3.54/g (U.S. Average: $3.68/g)
May 2, 2013: $3.49/g (U.S. Average: $3.53/g)
May 2, 2012: $3.77/g (U.S. Average: $3.80/g)
Neighboring areas and their current gas prices:
- Montana- $4.14/g, up 5.9 cents per gallon from last week's $4.08/g.
- Boise- $4.48/g, down 3.9 cents per gallon from last week's $4.52/g.
- Spokane- $4.35/g, up 2.7 cents per gallon from last week's $4.32/g.
The national average price of gasoline has risen 6.9 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $4.17/g today. The national average is down 1 cent per gallon from a month ago and stands $1.29/g higher than a year ago, according to GasBuddy data compiled from more than 11 million weekly price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations across the country.
“Gasoline prices have continued their rally in the last week with oil prices sustaining higher levels, but the real story has been diesel fuel, which has skyrocketed to its highest level ever seen. Diesel is now $1 per gallon or more in many areas compared to gasoline," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. "The meteoric rise in diesel prices is likely to continue for the first half of the week at least, while gasoline prices could continue to see a slow but steady rise. For now, the rising cost of diesel will surely be felt in the grocery store, hardware store or on your next flight as jet fuel prices accelerate, leading to a continued rise in inflation likely to ripple across the economy."

Denmark’s Zenvo is developing a hybrid hypercar for launch next year.
The information was revealed by the company’s Chief Commercial Officer, Jens Sverdrup, in an interview with Top Gear published last week.
According to Sverdrup, the car’s powertrain will integrate a V-12 developed in-house and capable of 10,000 rpm as the internal-combustion component, meaning it should be a screamer. The V-12 will be turbocharged, feature electric motors to spool the turbos—just like in Formula 1—and come paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The engine will be capable of 1,200 hp on its own, but an electric motor integrated with the transmission will take combined power as high as 1,800 hp, Sverdrup said, adding that Zenvo is more focused on delivering a fun driving experience as opposed to huge numbers, meaning the final output may be lowered for production.
Power will go to the rear wheels, but a more forgiving setup with an additional electric motor to power the front axle and form an all-wheel-drive system is planned for a GT-style version of the car, according to Sverdrup.
The car will sport a next-generation design built on a newly developed carbon-fiber chassis that Zenvo could use for a second “junior” model powered by a V-8 related to the V-12, Sverdrup said. Carbon fiber will also be used for the body and the lightest version is expected to tip the scales at around 2,755 lb.
Moving to a new chassis and powertrain is in contrast with Zenvo’s current TSR-S and TS1 GT hypercars whose designs and V-8s are similar to what the company offered in its original ST1 hypercar launched in 2008.
Zenvo has managed to carve out a niche in a market that’s extremely small but dominated by big brands, including Ferrari, Lamborghini and McLaren. One major appeal of Zenvo is its relatively short delivery times of less than a year. Compare this to a rival like Pagani or Koenigsegg where waiting two years or more for a car to be delivered is common.
That situation may change as Zenvo starts to expand its retail footprint, particularly in the U.S. The company last year completed certification for the sale of the TSR-S on these shores and signed its first local dealership, Zenvo of Denver, which is being managed by exotic car specialist 100 Oct.
Zenvo has a long-term goal of increasing worldwide sales to about 30 cars per year, up from just a handful today, and aims for the U.S. to account for about half of its volume. This rate would put Zenvo on an equal footing with the likes of Koenigsegg and Pagani.

A major disaster is declared in New Mexico, unlocking federal aid as wildfires threaten thousands of homes
By Paradise Afshar and Michelle Krupa, CNN
Wildfires and straight-line winds that have ravaged New Mexico for a month have created a major disaster, President Joe Biden declared, unlocking critical federal aid as the state continues to battle the largest wildfire burning in the United States.
The presidential action Wednesday makes federal money available for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses and other programs to help residents and business owners recover, the declaration states.
Some 300,000 acres have burned this year in New Mexico — more than the past two full years combined, CNN meteorologist Brandon Miller said. The Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon Fire — the biggest US fire this year and the second-largest in New Mexico in at least 30 years — had torched more than 165,000 acres by Thursday, destroyed dozens of homes and could threaten more than 15,000 more this week, officials have said.
Much of the Southwest has been under a prolonged, severe drought fueled by the climate crisis that has fostered the critical fire conditions. Drought conditions worsened over the past week across much of the Southwest and South, deepening a water crisis and fueling fires across several states, US Drought Monitor wrote Thursday in its weekly summary.
“In California and the Southwest, conditions were dry during the past week with strong winds observed across the region,” it said. “The windy, dry conditions exacerbated fire-weather conditions in Arizona and New Mexico where several large early-season wildfires are currently impacting the region.”
New Mexico saw the largest increase in the two worst categories of drought — extreme and exceptional — adding to the worst designations more than 14,000 square miles, an area about twice the size of New Jersey. April’s fire weather conditions were the worst in the state in more than a decade, even ahead of its typically most active wildfire months of May, June and July, Miller said.
Disaster order could help watershed recovery
New Mexico’s governor this week had asked for a presidential disaster declaration as her state fights seven wildfires — the most in any state, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. This year is already New Mexico’s most active for fires since 2018, exceeding the annual average of around 260,000 acres burned, Miller said.
“I have 6,000 people evacuated,” Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said Tuesday. “I have families who don’t know what the next day looks like. I have families who are trying to navigate their children, their own health care resources, figure out their livelihoods, and they’re in every single little community.”
A presidential disaster declaration would unlock resources “for watershed recovery, restoration of all of those wildlands and personal direct financial reparation and assistance before the fire is out,” she said.
Under the order, officials and nonprofits also are eligible for help paying for emergency measures, including evacuation shelters, and hazard mitigation statewide, the declaration states. People in Colfax, Lincoln, Mora, San Miguel and Valencia counties can apply.
The Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon Fire has destroyed 172 homes in Mora and San Miguel counties, officials said Tuesday. The area includes the New Mexico city of Las Vegas, about 85 miles northeast of Albuquerque.
It is “a long-term event,” officials in the two counties said. “We don’t anticipate having ‘control’ of this fire any time soon.”

Robert Gessner: Stark County is on a tear in terms of industrial development
You may have missed it amid the news frenzy, but Stark County is on a tear in terms of industrial development.
Industrial development, a subset of economic development, is vital to economic growth.
Service sector and retail jobs are great, but they don’t increase economic wealth. If I cut your hair and you eat at my restaurant, we both have some income, but the economy doesn’t grow. We just move money around.
Real economic growth happens when local companies produce things that bring outside dollars into our economy. Industry (manufacturing) has proven to be, by far, the most effective source of economic growth. That’s why growing local industry and welcoming new industry is a big win.
Stark County’s recent wins include new facilities, new jobs, new taxes (GOJO, Hendrickson, Tractor Supply, Amazon and others). Growth at existing companies (AmbaFlex, Polymer Packaging and Howmet Aerospace to name just a few) is just as important as new companies. These companies don’t sell things to Stark County residents.
More:Amazon delays opening Canton facility until 2023; nearby road to be aligned
That’s good because they export their products to other areas (domestic and foreign) and import money. That money pays Stark County workers who spend it locally.
Export stuff, import money, pay local workers. That’s how any economy grows — county, region, state or nation.
Since 2020, these growing companies have added more than 2,200 new industrial jobs, almost $100 million in new annual payroll and $330 million in capital investment. That scrapes some rust off the old belt.
Ohio has been rolling up development wins. The recent announcement of a $20 billion Intel complex in Licking County is the largest single private investor commitment in Ohio history. It will create more than 20,000 good-paying jobs. This historic investment will create enormous opportunity for businesses, communities, and families in all corners of the state, including Stark County.
Hundreds of Ohio businesses are already part of Intel’s supply chain. The project will bring additional new businesses to Ohio to support that supply chain. Stark County is ready to capitalize on this growth.
Intel is not a "one off." Through dedicated work in Columbus and with partners throughout the state, Ohio has become a magnet for industrial and economic growth, steadily climbing the rankings as a state where industry wants to locate.
This is the product of focused effort at all levels. The Stark Economic Development Board (SEDB), has thoroughly embraced the proactive pursuit of industrial growth, leading to significant increases in job growth, payroll, capital investment and, importantly, state development funds coming to Stark County.
The county commissioners, mayors, foundations, businesses of all types, and individuals make SEDB successful with their generous support, led by SEDB's great professionals.
Economic development is a team effort, conducted on a regional level. Team NEO, SEDB’s regional partner, provides data, expertise, and the same proactive pursuit of industrial economic growth.
The 18 counties in TeamNEO’s region work together because we all know that development and economic benefits don’t stop at city and county lines.
This effort, though, starts at the top, in Columbus. We have no greater partners than the DeWine-Husted administration. Gov. Mike DeWine and Lt. Gov. Jon Husted have been laser focused on making Ohio the No. 1 destination for industrial growth, increasing Ohio’s economic wealth.
Ohio businesses now experience the lowest state tax rate in more than 40 years, attracting new investment like Intel, Amazon, and Tractor Supply, and propelling expansion and job growth at businesses like Solmet, Kohler Coatings, Superior Dairy, and many others.
It often is difficult to understand the benefit of economic incentives, tax cuts or abatement. Study the math and you will find that the size of these incentives pales in comparison to the long-term economic benefits of larger payrolls, the multiplier effect of industry, and increased consumer spending.
As our employer base changes, so must workers' skills. Workforce education and training is vital to Ohio’s economic future. Locally, the new Stark County Manufacturing Workforce Development Partnership (a collaboration of dozens of local manufacturers) is finding new ways to attract workers and develop new, rewarding careers.
Likewise, the DeWine-Husted administration partnered with manufacturers and other employers to boost workforce training and up-skill our current workforce in preparation for a more tech-focused economy.
Demand for initiatives like industry sector partnership grants and Techcred is growing, helping businesses and thousands of Ohioans become more competitive. Our local education partners are helping local workers gain the skills they need for new Stark County jobs, and businesses are getting workers who meet their specific requirements.
Innovative policy begets investment, which is why Ohio is experiencing record job growth and historic investments. SEDB, Team NEO, DeWine-Husted and the Ohio General Assembly are working well together to grow the innovative policies and practices that have led to our recent success. Thanks to all. Keep it up!
Robert Gessner is the chairman of the Stark Economic Development Board.

CHICAGO, April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- JLL Income Property Trust, an institutionally managed daily NAV REIT (NASDAQ: ZIPTAX; ZIPTMX; ZIPIAX; ZIPIMX) with more than $6.3 billion in portfolio assets today announced the acquisition of the Sugar Land Medical Plaza, a newly constructed, Class A, 37,000-foot medical office property located in the affluent Houston suburb of Sugar Land, Texas. The purchase price was approximately $18.4 million.
"Healthcare-oriented properties continue to be our focus within the office sector given the favorable underlying fundamentals driving long-term tenant demand," said JLL Income Property Trust President and CEO Allan Swaringen. "Sugar Land Medical Plaza fits squarely within our thesis of investing in well-located, state-of-the-art medical office buildings with specialty healthcare tenants that have long-term commitments to the property through their buildouts and leases. The shift towards outpatient, standalone surgery centers as an alternative to traditional hospital settings, combined with the continued aging of our population positions healthcare-oriented real estate as an attractive addition to our stable value, income-oriented portfolio."
Houston ranks as the fourth largest city in the US along with one of the youngest, fastest growing populations with 2 percent annual population growth over the past ten years as compared to the national average of 0.8 percent. It is also home to the largest medical complex in the world, the Texas Medical Center. Sugar Land is 20 miles southwest of Houston and boasts five hospitals within a three-mile radius of Sugar Land Medical Plaza.
Completed in 2020, the two-story property is fully leased to a diversified roster of leading healthcare providers. The property includes a surgery and imaging center, and a full diagnostic suite including the newest MRI, CT, ultrasound and X-Ray machines. The weighted average lease term of the property is greater than nine years.
JLL Income Property Trust's healthcare allocation is 15 properties totaling more than 1.1 million square feet, valued in excess of $462 million and representing 8 percent of its overall portfolio.
JLL Income Property Trust is an institutionally managed, daily NAV REIT that brings to investors a growing portfolio of commercial real estate investments selected by an institutional investment management team and sponsored by one of the world's leading real estate services firms.

Commanders draft for immediate help except for QB Sam Howell
By STEPHEN WHYNO
AP Sports Writer
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — The Washington Commanders spent most of their draft picking NFL-ready players who can help them improve right away. First-round receiver Jahan Dotson, second-round defensive tackle Phidarian Mathis, third-round running back Brian Robinson Jr. and most of the Day 3 selections fit that bill. Their only long-term future move came with the first pick in the fifth round when they took North Carolina quarterback Sam Howell as a developmental prospect. Howell was the sixth QB taken in the draft after being projected as a second- or third-rounder. He’ll get the chance to develop behind starter Carson Wentz and projected backup Taylor Heinicke.

Extreme Heat Continues
Record maximums expected again Tuesday
Monday saw record heat across southern Texoma with some locations like Sherman-Denison reaching 108 degrees and Marietta topping out at 109 degrees! Northern locations like Ada were a few degrees lower thanks to a very weak front stalled across the region. The front breaks up overnight and with westerly winds, dry air, and strong high pressure in place Tuesday, it’s going to be the hottest day in four years for most spots. Temperatures will range from 106 to 113 degrees!
An Excessive Heat Warning is in effect thanks to the intense heat.
A weak upper wave may bring a few showers Wed-Thu as the additional cloud cover should keep highs closer to 100 degrees, the upper high moves closer and begins to bump the highs upward into the 103-104 degree range by the weekend.

Y&L's event is focused on helping business people understand what really motivates their customers.
INDIANAPOLIS, July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Advertising agency Young & Laramore is hosting their second edition of their Unreasonable conference this Fall, inviting nationally and internationally respected psychologists, neuroscientists and experts in human behavior to talk about what actually motivates customers. The event will take place October 27th at Newfields in Indianapolis.
Creator of the event and Young & Laramore's President & CEO, Tom Denari, notes, "Too many marketing leaders and CEOs continue to cling to the misguided notion that their customers are mostly rational beings—and that their buying decisions are based more on reason than emotion. But, an abundance of research over the past 30 years or so has revealed that we all actually behave 'unreasonably,' often basing decisions on factors we're actually unaware of."
Seven highly recognized experts in behavioral psychology, neuroscience and marketing will be encouraging attendees to think differently about how we study behavior and market effectively to consumers. Notable speakers include Jonah Berger, author of Contagious, Invisible Influence and The Catalyst, and Paul Bloom, author of How Pleasure Works and The Sweet Spot. A full schedule of speakers and topics is available on the Unreasonable website, and online registration is now open.
About Young & Laramore
Located in a 19th century schoolhouse in Downtown Indianapolis, Young & Laramore is a nationally recognized advertising agency that reflects its building: they are, first and foremost, students of the consumer. Y&L is also proudly independent—believing the world has enough holding companies, thank you—answering to no one but its clients and its own compass. (Which one is tougher to please varies by the day.) Y&L believes the ideal creative partnership is just that, a true partnership. And it works best with brands who believe the same, along with sharing some of its other traits: nimble, scrappy, and with a healthy distrust of convention.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Service Contract Industry Council – Every year, Labor Day marks the "official" end of the summer season and is a time when major retailers introduce significant discounts on a wide range of products. With car prices sky-high, this is the perfect opportunity for families to shop around for annually discounted prices on new or used vehicles, and to protect those investments with valuable service contracts.
It's no secret that vehicle prices have soared to new heights over the last year. According to data from Kelly Blue Book, the average cost for a new vehicle in the U.S. in May was $47,148. This is the second-highest on record, behind only last December. When considering such a hefty purchase, consumers would be wise to remember that an auto service contract can save them thousands of dollars down the road.
Car dealers still offer their best deals around Labor Day because major auto manufacturers unveil their new models for the upcoming year around this time. Car dealerships try to clear their lots of previous models in August and September to make room for newer models, so they are motivated to lower the cost of pricey vehicles as much as possible.
"Shopping for new or used vehicles during this time is an excellent opportunity to save, giving you the ability to simultaneously purchase an auto service contract to protect your new prized possession," said Tom Keepers, Executive Director of the Service Contract Industry Council. "You never know when a mechanical or electrical failure may occur – especially with today's highly sophisticated vehicles -- so it's essential to be prepared for the unknown ahead of time."
Keepers noted that auto service contracts provide comprehensive bumper-to-bumper coverage, access to professional auto technicians, protection against repeated pricey repairs, discounted maintenance costs, replacement vehicles during repair downtime, 24-hour technical assistance, roadside assistance, and more.
When Labor Day moves into the rear-view mirror, Keepers said, families can hop into their new vehicles to savor the last days of summer, secure in the peace of mind that comes from knowing that their investment is protected with an auto service contract.

This includes RCA's expansion into outpatient mental health services specially designed to treat patients who have mental health conditions as a primary diagnosis. Dr. Un also oversees RCA's acclaimed inpatient and outpatient services for patients with a primary substance use disorder (SUD).
Prior to joining RCA, Dr. Un was the Chief Psychiatric Officer for Aetna/CVS and led in the creation of Aetna's vast behavioral health program for the insurer's more than 1 million health providers across the nation. Dr. Un received his doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and completed his residency at University of Pennsylvania Hospital.
"RCA's vision for integrated behavioral health services is accessible, precise and personalized," Dr. Un said. "World-class mental health care demands precision with diagnosis, treatment planning and delivery. All three elements have to align to meet the patient where they are with their recovery needs and their readiness to change."
Joining Dr. Un, Dr. Peter Vernig, has been appointed as Vice President of Mental Health Services. Dr. Vernig will oversee the expansion of mental health care across the organization including outpatient, inpatient, and digital health. Prior to joining RCA, Dr. Vernig was Chief Clinical Officer at Friends Hospital in Philadelphia, the oldest private psychiatric hospital in the country.
Dr. Vernig is well known in the mental health field and speaks widely on treatment for mental illness, emerging health trends, and modern behavioral health strategies.
"The focus of RCA's mental health program is to provide effective and compassionate care for people living with mental illness in a structured program that meets patients' individual needs," Dr. Vernig said. "We have seen the need for mental health services grow exponentially. This was happening prior to the COVID pandemic, and the fear, isolation, and uncertainty of the past several years has accelerated this trend. We have developed new RCA programs to help our patients address their mental health needs whether they have a substance use disorder or not."
More than 44 million Americans suffer from some type of mental health disorder each year. To address the scale of this growing problem, Drs. Un and Vernig's comprehensive structured mental health program is offered at the outpatient level for patients with the many different forms of mental illness. Evidence-based care is available for patients with bipolar, depressive, anxiety, trauma, personality, and many other mental health conditions who are experiencing a wide variety of symptoms.
"Symptoms and signs of mental health conditions are really difficult to discern for a lay person," explained Dr. Un. "Very often, it evolves slowly, in a way that feels like, it's just stress or it's just me adjusting to a relationship issue. When we start to notice that we're not relating to others like we used to, that our patterns of sleep, energy, and appetite have changed, or whether we're not just functioning well at school or at work, those are all signs and symptoms that we might benefit from an assessment." See video of Dr. Un's comments here.
As with RCA treatment for substance use disorder, mental health care is affordable and covered in-network with many private insurers.
RCA's new mental health outpatient treatment program is available now in Pennsylvania and in Indiana, with additional programs expected this year across the RCA network. Care is available with highly skilled psychiatrists, therapists and counselors able to treat patients in their homes or dormitories across the state through virtual care, hybrid options, as well as in person in specific locations.
Dr. Un and Vernig also oversee successful RCA inpatient programs to treat mental health disorders coexisting with SUD. Called the Balance program, this treatment option is available at many RCA inpatient and outpatient treatment centers across the country and has been acclaimed widely by patients and families across the RCA network. The program uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address the needs of patients. "So many people in recovery from drugs and alcohol also live with the challenges of mental illness. This can make staying healthy in the long term more challenging. By focusing on both, we aim to treat not just the symptoms of a patient's substance use disorder but the source as well," said Dr. Vernig.
Recovery Centers of America is dedicated to helping patients achieve a life of recovery through evidence-based alcohol and drug addiction treatment and mental health care. RCA has ten inpatient treatment facilities in the United States in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Indiana, and Illinois. RCA also has outpatient programs near all inpatient facilities and centers offering medications for addiction (MAT) treatment programs in New Jersey (including Somerdale, Camden County, Trenton, and Woodbridge) and Pennsylvania (Lansdowne), RCA also offers telehealth treatment services. Patients can obtain immediate mental health treatment and substance use disorder care by calling 1-800-RECOVERY.

LONDON (AP) — Above all, there was shock. That’s the word people use over and over again when they remember Princess Diana’s death in a Paris car crash 25 years ago this week.
The woman the world watched grow from a shy teenage nursery school teacher into a glamorous celebrity who comforted AIDS patients and campaigned for land mine removal couldn’t be dead at the age of 36, could she?
“I think we need to remind ourselves that she was probably the best-known woman in the English-speaking world, aside from perhaps Queen Elizabeth II herself,’’ said historian Ed Owens.
“And, given this massive celebrity persona that she had developed, to have that extinguished overnight, for her to die in such tragic circumstances, at such a young age, I think really came as a massive shock to many people.”
It was that disbelief that cemented Diana’s legacy as the woman who brought lasting change to Britain’s royal family, helping bridge the gap between centuries of tradition and a new, multicultural nation in the internet age.
First, there was the outpouring of grief from the public who streamed to the princess’ home at Kensington Palace to mourn the loss of a woman most had never met. That alone forced the royals to recognize that Diana’s common touch had connected with people in ways that hadn’t yet occurred to the House of Windsor.
Those lessons have since inspired other royals, including Diana’s sons, Princes William and Harry, to be more informal and approachable. For proof, look no further than the glitzy concert that was a centerpiece of June’s Platinum Jubilee celebrating the queen’s 70 years on the throne.
There were rock bands and opera singers, dancers and lasers painting pictures of corgis on the sky. But the biggest applause was for Elizabeth herself, who appeared in a short film to share a pot of tea with British national treasure Paddington Bear. She then solved a longtime mystery and revealed what’s inside her famous black handbag: A marmalade sandwich — just for emergencies.
It wasn’t obvious Diana would be a royal rebel when she married Prince Charles.
A member of the aristocratic Spencer family, Diana was known for flouncy bows, sensible skirts and a boyish blond bob when she started dating the future king. After leaving school at 16, she spent time at a finishing school in the Swiss Alps and worked as a nanny and preschool teacher while living in London.
But she blossomed, becoming an international style icon the moment she walked down the aisle of St. Paul’s Cathedral shrouded in lace and followed by a 25-foot train on July 29, 1981.
From that moment on, reporters and photographers followed Diana wherever she went. While Diana hated the intrusion, she quickly learned the media was also a tool she could use to bring attention to a cause and to change public perceptions.
That impact was seen most famously when the princess opened the U.K.’s first specialized ward for AIDS patients on April 9, 1987.
Such ribbon-cutting ceremonies are a staple of royal duties. But Diana realized there was more at stake. She reached out and took the hands of a young patient, demonstrating the virus couldn’t be transmitted by touch. The moment, captured by photos beamed worldwide, helped combat the fear, misinformation and stigma surrounding the AIDS epidemic.
A decade later, Diana was even more media savvy.
Seven months before she died, Diana donned a protective visor and flak jacket and walked down a path cleared through a minefield in Angola to promote the work of The HALO Trust, a group devoted to removing mines from former war zones. When she realized some photographers didn’t get the shot, she turned around and did it again.
The images brought international attention to the campaign to rid the world of explosives that lurk underground long after wars end. Today, a treaty banning land mines has been signed by 164 countries.
But that public platform came at a price.
Her marriage disintegrated, with Diana blaming Charles’ continuing liaison with longtime mistress, Camilla Parker Bowles. The princess also struggled with bulimia and acknowledged suicide attempts, according to “Diana: Her True Story — In Her Own Words,’’ published in 1992 based on tapes Diana sent to author Andrew Morton.
“When I started my public life, 12 years ago, I understood the media might be interested in what I did,’’ Diana said in 1993. “But I was not aware of how overwhelming that attention would become. Nor the extent to which it would affect both my public duties and my personal life, in a manner that’s been hard to bear.”
In the end, it contributed to her death.
On Aug. 30, 1997, a group of paparazzi camped outside the Hotel Ritz in Paris in hopes of getting shots of Diana and boyfriend Dodi Fayed pursued their car to the Pont de l’Alma tunnel, where their driver lost control and crashed.
Diana died Aug. 31, 1997.
A stunned world mourned. Bouquets of flowers, many including personal notes, carpeted the grounds outside Diana’s home in Kensington Palace. Weeping citizens lined the streets outside Westminster Abbey during her funeral.
The public reaction contrasted with that of the royal family, who were criticized for not quickly appearing in public and refusing to lower the flag over Buckingham Palace to half-staff.
The mourning prompted soul-searching among members of the House of Windsor. They set about to better understand why Diana’s death had prompted such an overwhelming spectacle, said Sally Bedell Smith, a historian and author of “Diana in Search of Herself.’’
“I think her legacy was something that the queen in her wisdom (sought) to adapt in the early years after her death,’’ Smith said of focus groups and studies the monarchy used to grasp Diana’s appeal.
“The queen was more likely to interact with people, and I think you see the informality magnified now, particularly with William and Kate,” she said.
William, his wife, Kate, for example, made improving mental health services a primary goal, going so far as to publicly discuss their own struggles. Harry also is a champion for wounded military veterans.
The rehabilitation of Charles’ reputation had to wait until public anger over his treatment of Diana began to fade. That’s now well under way, helped by his 2005 marriage to Camilla, who softened his image. The queen earlier this year said she hoped Camilla would become queen consort when Charles ascends the throne, trying to heal old wounds.
But there are lessons for the monarchy to learn as it struggles with the fallout from the scandal over Prince Andrew’s links to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Beyond that, there’s the decision of Harry and his wife, Meghan, to give up royal duties for life in Southern California.
Meghan, an American biracial former actress who grew up in Los Angeles, has said she felt constrained by palace life and that a member of the royal family even inquired about the potential skin color of her first child before he was born.
This episode shows the royals haven’t fully learned the lesson of Diana, said Owens, author of “The Family Firm: Monarchy, Mass Media and the British Public 1932-1953.”
“Once again, not enough room was created,” Owens said of Meghan.
Diana had her own struggles with the palace, airing her grievances in a 1995 BBC interview that continues to make headlines. The BBC was forced to apologize last year after an investigation found reporter Martin Bashir used “deceitful methods” to secure the interview.
Diana’s brother said this year that the interview and the way it was obtained contributed to Diana’s death because it led her to refuse continued protection from the palace after her divorce.
But her words about how she wished to be viewed remain firmly in memory.
“I’d like to be a queen of people’s hearts, in people’s hearts, but I don’t see myself being queen of this country,” Diana said in the interview. “I don’t think many people will want me to be queen.”

Strong demand for Nearmap location data from U.S. federal agencies prompts Nearmap to stake claim as an approved vendor on the General Services Administration Contract Schedule
SALT LAKE CITY, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Federal government agencies in the U.S. now have streamlined access to geospatial services and location data from leading location intelligence company Nearmap, which is now an approved contractor on the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule.
The inclusion of Nearmap on the GSA schedule is significant as it provides federal agencies streamlined access to accurate and scalable aerial mapping tools, imagery, and location data to more than 80% of the U.S. population. The GSA makes it possible for government organizations to save time and money by bypassing lengthy contractual periods and utilizing standardized and pre-established pricing, terms, and conditions to procure high-quality products and services.
Applications for the powerful location data intelligence and aerial imagery from Nearmap include homeland security, federal civil asset management, military asset management, infrastructure management, environmental studies, and FEMA resilience response and recovery missions. Nearmap has achieved strong momentum in the government sector, winning multiple government contracts, which include the likes of the Army National Guard and the United States Army Corps of Engineers. The inclusion of Nearmap on the GSA will only extend this reach and facilitate access.
Executive Vice President and General Manager of North America at Nearmap, Tony Agresta, said: "Government agencies are hungry for the level of detail and sophistication that Nearmap location intelligence and data can add to their workflows. The addition of Nearmap to the GSA Schedule will streamline access for these agencies that rely on the most up-to-date location data to support the many critical services that government agencies provide—allowing them to make better informed decisions for their constituents… faster."
Nearmap is widely recognized as a top location intelligence provider for state and local government organizations wishing to improve their workflows and save taxpayer resources. Most notably, Nearmap technology and content is now used in 42 of the 50 U.S. state governments for a variety of use cases. The announcement of the addition of Nearmap to the GSA Schedule further demonstrates the growth and importance Nearmap places on supporting government agencies.
This announcement with the GSA comes on the heels of other significant Nearmap partnerships, including most recently:
- Partnership with Carahsoft Technology Corp., the Trusted IT Solutions Provider® that serves as a distributor of Nearmap data intelligence and aerial imagery through Carahsoft's network of reseller partners. Nearmap is now available through Carahsoft's SEWP V contracts NNG15SC03B and NNG15SC27B, ITES-SW2 Contract W52P1J-20-D-0042, NCPA Contract NCPA01-86, and OMNIA Partners Contract #R191902.
- Integration with America's largest provider of computer assisted mass appraisals (CAMA) for properties, Tyler Technologies. This innovative relationship provides customers with the most comprehensive property appraisal solution available in the U.S to date—allowing users to complete multiple appraisals in the time it would take to physically visit one property. Ultimately, this powerful combination delivers even more efficient and accurate property valuation and assessment processes, allowing users to remotely, and more easily, detect data changes and discrepancies in properties.
Nearmap (ASX: NEA) provides easy, instant access to high resolution aerial imagery, city-scale 3D content, AI data sets, and geospatial tools. Using its own patented camera systems and processing software, Nearmap captures wide-scale urban areas in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand several times each year, making current content instantly available in the cloud via web app or API integration. Every day, Nearmap helps thousands of users conduct virtual site visits for deep, data-driven insights—enabling informed decisions, streamlined operations and better financial performance.

U.S. Ambassador to China R. Nicholas Burns, participating virtually from Beijing, joined Chinese Ambassador Qin Gang and former U.S. Ambassador to China Terry Branstad as featured speakers at the Dialogue
DES MOINES, Iowa , April 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- "With the unprecedented participation of three Ambassadors from and to China, the U.S. - China Agricultural Dialogue in Des Moines showed that agriculture provides an opportunity for positive developments during an otherwise difficult and contentious bilateral relationship," stated Ambassador Kenneth Quinn, Strategic Advisor to the United States Heartland China Association (USHCA) who moderated the Dialogue that took place at the Dr. Norman E. Borlaug Hall of Laureates in Des Moines.
In his remarks, former Ambassador Branstad, recalled his personal role as Governor of Iowa in meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping during his two historic visits to Iowa. Speaking next, Ambassador Qin Gang and Ambassador Burns offered comments on current agricultural trade and ideas on how it could be improved and expanded.
The USHCA, a bipartisan American non-profit organization, co-hosted the April 21 (April 22 in China) event in conjunction with the China Agriculture Association for International Exchanges. The Hon. Bob Holden, former Governor of Missouri and Chairman of the USHCA who gave opening remarks at the event, said that "having all three ambassadors appear live on the program today illustrates the importance of agricultural collaboration in US-China relations." He also applauded Ambassador Kenneth Quinn, who was instrumental in bringing the ambassadors together, for his tireless effort to advance peace through diplomacy even in his retirement.
Close to 200 high level participants, including an array of governmental, educational, national and international agri-business leaders attended this dialogue. Many traveled to Iowa from across the country and overseas just to attend this unique event.
One of those participants, Craig Floss, the CEO of the Iowa Corn Growers Association, formally announced that two recent purchases of corn this month by China represented a combined value of over $700 million, "one of the largest purchases of corn ever by China or any other country."
Included among other executives attending were the CEOs of Continental Grain, Syngenta, the U.S. Grains Council, and the U.S. Soybean Export Council, who joined with the Vice President of China Agricultural University on a panel discussion about steps to increase both U.S. - China two-way trade and enhance global collaboration in feeding the 9 to 10 billion people who will soon be on our planet.
Other speakers during the event were a Vice Governor of Hebei Province, Iowa's Sister State and representatives of the USDA Foreign Agriculture Service and the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.
At the conclusion of the Dialogue, the USHCA and the CAAIE signed a Memorandum of Understanding committing the two organizations to "consult and collaborate ... in support of the annual U.S. - China Agriculture Dialogue."
"We are really excited to see long term commitment from both Associations to carry forward the legacy of agricultural collaboration for the benefit of both countries and our world." commented Min Fan, Executive Director of USHCA.
The USHCA also wishes to thank the following sponsors who made this High Level Dialogue possible: Iowa Corn Growers Association, US Soybean Export Council, U.S. Grains Council, China Certification & Inspection Group (North America), and Tyson Foods.

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With values in transition across equipment and trucking industries throughout Q2 2022, the newest market reports from Sandhills Global take a deeper look at the growing gap between asking and auction values within Sandhills marketplaces. Data for July shows asking values for heavy-duty trucks and semi-trailers at 61% and 62% above auction values, respectively.
"Fleet truck auction values have dropped significantly from April," explains Mitch Helman, sales manager at Sandhills Global. "Despite the massive decrease, auction values remain above historic trends and are 22% higher than last July."
The key metric used in all of Sandhills' market reports is the Sandhills Equipment Value Index (EVI). Buyers and sellers can use the information in the Sandhills EVI to monitor equipment markets and maximize returns on acquisition, liquidation, and related business decisions. The Sandhills EVI data include equipment available in auction and retail markets, as well as model year equipment actively in use. Regional EVI data is available for the United States (and key geographic regions within) and Canada, allowing Sandhills to reflect machine values by location.
The percentage gap between asking and auction values is quantified in Sandhills market reports as EVI spread. During periods of accelerated EVI spread, such as what Sandhills is seeing now, assessing buying and selling strategies is crucial in order to mitigate risk.
Chart Takeaways
Sandhills Market Reports highlight the most significant changes in Sandhills' used heavy-duty truck, construction equipment, and farm machinery markets. Each report includes detailed analysis and charts that help readers visualize the data. The latest reports examine the EVI spread, focusing on the current trends in heavy-duty trucks and medium-duty construction equipment. Currently, data for July shows the EVI spread for heavy-duty trucks has doubled since March 2022, when the gap was just 30%. Regional variabilities are also identified to showcase value trends in different geographic locations.
U.S. Used Heavy-Duty Trucks EVI and Regional Variability
- Auction values for heavy-duty trucks dropped 7.4% month-to-month from June to July; the auction EVI dipped to $37,863.
- The North East region displayed the biggest EVI spread (66%), along with the largest auction value decrease (8.7% M/M), among U.S. regions tracked by Sandhills.
- The South East region displayed the largest inventory increase from June to July, up 2.7% M/M.
U.S. Used Medium-Duty Construction Equipment EVI and Regional Variability
- The EVI spread for medium-duty construction equipment was 33% in July, up from 31% in June.
- The South Central region's 2.5% M/M auction value decrease in July represented the biggest drop among the five regions Sandhills tracks for used medium-duty construction equipment, a category that includes used skid steers, loader backhoes, and mini-excavators.
- The growing EVI spread coincided with consecutive months of used inventory increases. Prior to the recent increases, inventory levels had been in continual decline for two years.
- The largest inventory increase occurred in the West region, and the 16.7% M/M increase in July was considerably higher than gains seen in the other four regions.

Liverpool wins FA Cup final after beating Chelsea in nerve-racking penalty shootout
By Aimee Lewis, CNN
There is something about this Liverpool team.
For all its qualities — the intense pressing, the defensive solidity, the whirlwind attacks — perhaps its finest is a sense of drama on occasions such as these.
Just as in the League Cup final earlier this year at Wembley, Jurgen Klopp’s men needed penalties to see off Chelsea and lift some silverware at the same stadium.
As improbable as it is that the Reds will become the first English team to win all three domestic competitions and the European Cup, the quadruple is still possible thanks to this FA Cup win.
Two trophies in the cabinet this season, room being kept for two more. It is why Liverpool fans are dreaming. History could still be made.
Just as in the League Cup final, a scoreless 120 minutes belied the quality of the match. Chances were created, goal posts were rattled, but perhaps it was fitting that on the 150th anniversary of football’s oldest cup competition the final was decided in the most theatrical of ways.
Chelsea missed its second penalty (Cesar Azplicueta), Liverpool its fifth (Sadio Mane). There was a sense of déjà vu as the first 10 penalties could not decide the outcome and so the match went to sudden death — the League Cup final ended 11-10 on penalties with the goalkeepers needing to step up.
Fewer penalties were needed this time, however, as Alisson Becker saved Mason Mount’s spot kick, which gave Kostas Tsimikas the chance to become the unlikely hero.
The Greece international is not a regular starter for Liverpool, but coolly slotted home to spark joyous celebrations from those in red.
Liverpool’s players engulfed Tsimikas, manager Jurgen Klopp sprinted towards his men and the fans set off flares to saturate the air with a tint of red.
The club’s anthem ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ echoed around the stadium as Liverpool fans serenaded a team which has given them a first FA Cup win at Wembley in 30 years.
Such is the caliber of this Liverpool side, however, celebrations will have to be short-lived as there are other challenges on the horizon — a Champions League final at the end of the month, and two Premier League matches in which to try to overhaul Manchester City’s three point advantage at the top of the league.
Chances galore
Even an occasion as traditional as this — a marching band before kick-off, Royalty presenting the trophy — recognises world events.
Like many a grand sporting occasion, political statements were made. First, Liverpool fans booed the English national anthem, then captains and officials stood with the Ukrainian flag which had the words ‘PEACE’ emblazoned in black capital letters and, just before this oldest of competitions got underway, the players took the knee.
The match was just minutes old when Liverpool got its first chance. In truth, the men in red should have scored at least once, such was their domination of the first 15 minutes, but Thiago, the outstanding Luis Diaz, Mo Salah and Mane floundered in front of goal.
Though Chelsea played second fiddle for most of the first half, arguably the Londoners had the best chance of that period with only a world-class save from Liverpool’s Alisson — a dive low to the feet of Marcos Alonso — preventing them from going ahead.
The early exit of Salah, Liverpool’s leading scorer this season, through injury added to Liverpool’s increased sense of anxiety as the half progressed but, even without the Egyptian, the Reds were able to reassert their dominance before the break.
Indeed, Salah’s replacement, Diogo Jota, should have put Klopp’s men ahead just before the break.
Just as Liverpool had in the first half, Chelsea made a bright start in the second. Again, Alonso was denied from getting on the scoresheet, this time by the crossbar as his menacing free-kick hit the woodwork.
Two of English football’s finest teams were going toe-to-toe and there were chances aplenty: Jota, Diaz and Andy Robertson for Liverpool; Christian Pulisic (twice) for Chelsea.
It was breathless. It was entertaining. It made for a brilliant atmosphere as both sets of fans raised the decibels on a beautiful London summer’s evening.
All that was missing was a goal. The minutes went by, substitutes came on, mistakes crept into the play of tired legs, yet no one could find the net.
Diaz looked skywards as the impressive Edouard Mendy stopped another chance of his, this one in the 82nd minute, and his gesture reflected the feelings of all fans watching: will either goalkeeper ever be beaten?
Robertson hit the post with seven minutes to go before Diaz again took aim. But as the full-time whistle went, the match — for all the chances, for all the entertainment — remained scoreless.
Inevitably, the energy dropped in extra time and few chances were created as penalties loomed large on the horizon.
Once again Chelsea, still under UK government sanctions, suffered the cruelest of defeats, becoming the first team to lose three consecutive FA Cup finals.
“We are sad, but the same time proud as we left everything on the field,” manager Thomas Tuchel said after the match.

Dangerous winds, wildfire conditions returning to New Mexico
LAS VEGAS, N.M. (AP) — After a few days of calm allowed some families who had fled wildfires raging in northeast New Mexico to return to their homes, dangerous winds picked up again Sunday, threatening to spread burning embers that could ignite new fires and complicate work for firefighters.
More than 1,500 firefighters were on the fire lines at the biggest blaze east and northeast of Santa Fe, which grew another 8 square miles (20 square kilometers) overnight to an area more than twice as large as the city of Philadelphia.
The area’s largest rural town — Las Vegas, New Mexico, population 13,000 — appeared safe for now thanks to fire lines dug by bulldozers and other priority preparations over the past week.
But authorities appealed to residents on the outskirts who’ve already been ordered to evacuate to delay no longer.
“If things start picking up today as they are expected to do,” fire spokesman Todd Abel warned Sunday, and “you are trying to leave the area and we are trying to go in, that obviously causes a lot of problems, congestion, confusion.”
A red-flag warning was in effect, kicking off what fire officials predicted would be another “historic, multi-day wind event that could result in extreme fire behavior.”
A few helicopters were able to gather new information from the air on the spread of the flames early Sunday “but they won’t be up there very long because of the winds out there,” Abel said.
“The wind is incredible. It is precedent setting, the amount of wind we are going to have and the duration we are going to have it,” he said a briefing Sunday in Las Vegas.
“They are predicting the wind to blow all day today, through the night, all day tomorrow so that is a long time for our fire,” he said.
Thousands of residents have evacuated due to flames that have charred large swaths of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in northeastern New Mexico — a total of 275 square miles (712 square kilometers).
The swirling winds gusting up to 50 mph (80 kph) made it difficult to predict where the flames would go later Sunday and into Monday.
Ryan Berlin, fire information officer, said Sunday afternoon the city of Las Vegas itself is “very safe at this point.”
“We even started to repopulate a section of town already,” he said. “Our concern right now is on the southwest portion of the fire which the wind is helping us out, sort of, because it’s blowing the flames back into the fire.”
But Wendy Mason with the New Mexico Forestry Division warned that “by no means” is anyone “out of potential danger.”
“Just because the winds are coming from one direction doesn’t mean they can’t change direction so it’s better to be prepared and have residents ready to go,” she said.
“Any new fire that starts has a good potential of becoming extremely active and any ongoing fires we’ll also see extreme activity because of this historic combination of fire weather that we’re seeing right now,” she added.
Abel said the good news was that additional fire crews continue to arrive from around the West.
For many California firefighters backing up local units, the winds in New Mexico are puzzling. Unlike the sustained Santa Ana winds in southern California, the air around the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon fires in New Mexico have swirled around and been redirected in complex and changing interactions with the mountains.
“We’ll see what happens,” said fire battalion chief Ryan Lewis, of Ontario, California, on a rare break with his firefighters at a local hotel that’s serving hot meals to fire workers and evacuees.
Nationwide, close to 2,000 square miles (5,180 square kilometers) have burned so far this year, with 2018 being the last time this much fire had been reported at this point, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. And predictions for the rest of the spring do not bode well for the West, where long-term drought and warmer temperatures brought on by climate change have combined to worsen the threat of wildfire.
Local officials on Saturday allowed residents of several areas on the northwestern outskirts of Las Vegas to return to their homes.
Shops and restaurants in the town had reopened Saturday and the historic center was no longer just populated by firefighters. Still, there was a widely felt sense of anxiety, loss, and wariness of what lay ahead.
“It’s literally like living under a dark cloud,” said Liz Birmingham, whose daughter had persistent headaches from the smoke. “It’s unnerving.”

RENTAL REMORSE: Woman experiences “creepy” living conditions at Airbnb
MESA, Ariz. (AZFamily/Gray News) – A woman needing some temporary housing was using a popular website to look for homes to rent when she came across a house she thought was just right.
But when she arrived, she says the home was nothing like the photos she viewed online and claims it was downright creepy.
Krista Luciano just needed a place to stay for about a month before she left out of state for a job transfer. She went online and found a house on Airbnb with a room to rent.
“The room looked nice in the pictures,” she said. “You know, it looks clean. The floor looks clean.”
Luciano paid almost $1,200 in advance for a month’s stay. However, when she arrived at the house in Mesa, Arizona, she found the lock on the front door broken, and she was able to walk right in.
She thought she might be sharing the house with a family or maybe some roommates. It turned out that was not the case at all.
Once inside, she found the entire home was converted to bedrooms, all available for rent. There was no living room, no kitchen, a green pool and only one bathroom that all renters in the house had to share.
When AZFamily visited the house, the bathtub was filthy and had pink mold.
“So, I sat down, and I almost started crying,” Luciano said. “It just felt … It felt dirty and just bizarre in a way like I didn’t feel safe at all.”
Luciano said there was no way she was sharing the bathroom and the rest of the house with strangers and immediately contacted Airbnb along with the hosts. She told them she wanted her $1,200 returned because the house didn’t feel safe.
“And they responded very shortly after and said ‘Of course it’s safe,’” she said.
Luciano said she never stayed in the house and kept waiting for Airbnb to change its mind regarding her refund.
“I didn’t cancel my reservation because I didn’t want to forfeit my money,” she said.
Luciano then contacted AZFamily, who discovered that Mesa police have responded to the home nearly 20 times over the last year and a half, including calls for sexual assault, burglary, threats and suspicious activity while that list goes on.
“There’s a lot of illegal stuff that happens in places like that hurt people,” Luciano said.
In addition, the house’s owner was cited by the City of Mesa several times this year for using a single-family home as a multi-family rental. City of Mesa records show they are trying to collect $1,600 in fines, but the homeowner hasn’t paid up.
Since the room was still rented to Luciano, she agreed to take AZFamily crew back to the house.
“As we walked in the room, it’s not the way it was when I left it and I’m still renting it.,” she said. “So, someone has been in here. They’ve slept here.”
The bedding was different; a lamp was moved, and a bath towel was hanging to dry in the closet.
AZFamily contacted Airbnb and sent pictures of the broken door lock, the dirty towel hanging in the closet, the filthy tub, and that green pool. They also attached a police document detailing the disturbing calls for service.
After reviewing the information, Airbnb decided to refund nearly $1,200 back to Luciano.
The company is also launching an investigation into the hosts, who rent other properties on Airbnb’s site.
“They need to do better, and they need to verify that the homes that are being listed are to code,” Luciano said. “If they would have done that alone, that would have avoided all of this.”
In the meantime, Luciano is renting a hotel room. It’s more money than she wants to spend, but she said it’s worth it. She said she feels comfortable and safe.
Luciano said the ordeal was a real eye-opener and she credits AZFamily for getting involved, saying that she might not have gotten her money back if not for the media’s involvement.
“I’m very grateful,” she said.

- Submissions are supported by three Phase 3 clinical trials demonstrating upadacitinib achieved the co-primary endpoints of clinical remission and endoscopic response as induction and maintenance treatment1-4
- Safety results were generally consistent with the known safety profile of upadacitinib, with no new safety risks observed1-8
- Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic disease that manifests as inflammation within the gastrointestinal tract, causing persistent diarrhea and abdominal pain9,10
NORTH CHICAGO, Ill., July 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) today announced that it has submitted applications for a new indication to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) for upadacitinib (RINVOQ®, 45 mg [induction dose] and 15 mg and 30 mg [maintenance dose]) for the treatment of adult patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease.4,11
"Crohn's disease can be debilitating and have a significant impact on a person's daily life," said Neil Gallagher, M.D., Ph.D., vice president, development, chief medical officer, AbbVie. "Those patients who are still suffering fuel our continued commitment to innovation in care for patients with IBD, and we look forward to potentially introducing a new treatment option for this disruptive condition."
The applications to the FDA and EMA are supported by data from three Phase 3 clinical trials, including two induction studies (U-EXCEED & U-EXCEL) and one maintenance study (U-ENDURE).1-4 Across all three studies, significantly more patients treated with upadacitinib achieved the co-primary endpoints of clinical remission and endoscopic response, with clinical remission measured by the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) or by the patient-reported symptoms of stool frequency/abdominal pain (SF/AP).1-4 Additionally, more patients receiving upadacitinib 45 mg once daily at week 12 in the induction studies or 15 mg and 30 mg once daily at 52 weeks in the maintenance study achieved the secondary endpoint of corticosteroid-free clinical remission per CDAI and per SF/AP compared to placebo among patients taking corticosteroids at baseline.1-4
The safety results of upadacitinib in U-EXCEED, U-EXCEL and U-ENDURE were generally consistent with the known safety profile of upadacitinib, with no new safety risks observed.
About Crohn's Disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic disease that manifests as inflammation within the gastrointestinal tract, causing persistent diarrhea and abdominal pain.9,10 It is a progressive disease, meaning it gets worse over time in a substantial proportion of patients or may develop complications that require urgent medical care, including surgery.9,10 Because the signs and symptoms of Crohn's disease are unpredictable, it causes a significant burden on people living with the disease—not only physically, but also emotionally and economically.10
About the U-EXCEED and U-EXCEL Induction and U-ENDURE Maintenance Studies1,2,3
The three Phase 3 studies are multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies to evaluate the efficacy and safety of upadacitinib 45 mg once daily as induction therapy, and upadacitinib 15 mg and 30 mg once daily as maintenance therapy in adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. Topline results from U-EXCEED and U-EXCEL induction studies were announced in December 2021 and February 2022, respectively, and topline results from the U-ENDURE maintenance study were announced in May 2022. These studies include assessments of efficacy, safety and tolerability of upadacitinib. More information on these trials can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03345836, NCT03345849, NCT03345823).
About upadacitinib (RINVOQ®)
Discovered and developed by AbbVie scientists, RINVOQ is a JAK inhibitor that is being studied in several immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.1–8 Based on enzymatic and cellular assays, RINVOQ demonstrated greater inhibitory potency for JAK-1 vs. JAK-2, JAK-3 and TYK-2. The relevance of inhibition of specific JAK enzymes to therapeutic effectiveness and safety is not currently known.12
Phase 3 trials of RINVOQ in rheumatoid arthritis, atopic dermatitis, psoriatic arthritis, axial spondyloarthritis, ulcerative colitis, giant cell arteritis and Takayasu arteritis are ongoing.4–8,11,13-18 The use of upadacitinib in Crohn's disease is not approved and its safety and efficacy have not been evaluated by regulatory authorities.
RINVOQ® (upadacitinib) U.S. Use and Important Safety Information12
RINVOQ is a prescription medicine used to treat:
- Adults with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis when 1 or more medicines called tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockers have been used, and did not work well or could not be tolerated.
- Adults with active psoriatic arthritis when 1 or more medicines called TNF blockers have been used, and did not work well or could not be tolerated.
- Adults with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis when 1 or more medicines called TNF blockers have been used, and did not work well or could not be tolerated.
- Adults with active ankylosing spondylitis when 1 or more medicines called TNF blockers have been used, and did not work well or could not be tolerated.
It is not known if RINVOQ is safe and effective in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ulcerative colitis, or ankylosing spondylitis.
- Adults and children 12 years of age and older with moderate to severe eczema (atopic dermatitis) that did not respond to previous treatment and their eczema is not well controlled with other pills or injections, including biologic medicines, or the use of other pills or injections is not recommended.

It is not known if RINVOQ is safe and effective in children under 12 years of age with atopic dermatitis.
What is the most important information I should know about RINVOQ?
RINVOQ may cause serious side effects, including:
- Serious infections. RINVOQ can lower your ability to fight infections. Serious infections have happened while taking RINVOQ, including tuberculosis (TB) and infections caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses that can spread throughout the body. Some people have died from these infections. Your healthcare provider (HCP) should test you for TB before starting RINVOQ and check you closely for signs and symptoms of TB during treatment with RINVOQ. You should not start taking RINVOQ if you have any kind of infection unless your HCP tells you it is okay. If you get a serious infection, your HCP may stop your treatment until your infection is controlled. You may be at higher risk of developing shingles (herpes zoster).
- Increased risk of death in people 50 years and older who have at least 1 heart disease (cardiovascular) risk factor.
- Cancer and immune system problems. RINVOQ may increase your risk of certain cancers. Lymphoma and other cancers, including skin cancers, can happen. Current or past smokers are at higher risk of certain cancers, including lymphoma and lung cancer. Follow your HCP's advice about having your skin checked for skin cancer during treatment with RINVOQ. Limit the amount of time you spend in sunlight. Wear protective clothing when you are in the sun and use sunscreen.
- Increased risk of major cardiovascular (CV) events, such as heart attack, stroke, or death, in people 50 years and older who have at least 1 heart disease (CV) risk factor, especially if you are a current or past smoker.
- Blood clots. Blood clots in the veins of the legs or lungs and arteries can happen with RINVOQ. This may be life-threatening and cause death. Blood clots in the veins of the legs and lungs have happened more often in people who are 50 years and older and with at least 1 heart disease (CV) risk factor.
- Allergic reactions. Symptoms such as rash (hives), trouble breathing, feeling faint or dizzy, or swelling of your lips, tongue, or throat, that may mean you are having an allergic reaction have been seen in people taking RINVOQ. Some of these reactions were serious. If any of these symptoms occur during treatment with RINVOQ, stop taking RINVOQ and get emergency medical help right away.
- Tears in the stomach or intestines and changes in certain laboratory tests. Your HCP should do blood tests before you start taking RINVOQ and while you take it. Your HCP may stop your RINVOQ treatment for a period of time if needed because of changes in these blood test results.
Do not take RINVOQ if:
- You are allergic to upadacitinib or any of the ingredients in RINVOQ.
What should I tell my HCP BEFORE starting RINVOQ?
Tell your HCP if you:
- Are being treated for an infection, have an infection that won't go away or keeps coming back, or have symptoms of an infection, such as:
- Have TB or have been in close contact with someone with TB.
- Are a current or past smoker.
- Have had a heart attack, other heart problems, or stroke.
- Have or have had any type of cancer, hepatitis B or C, shingles (herpes zoster), blood clots in the veins of your legs or lungs, diverticulitis (inflammation in parts of the large intestine), or ulcers in your stomach or intestines.
- Have other medical conditions, including liver problems, low blood cell counts, diabetes, chronic lung disease, HIV, or a weak immune system.
- Live, have lived, or have traveled to parts of the country, such as the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys and the Southwest, that increase your risk of getting certain kinds of fungal infections. If you are unsure if you've been to these types of areas, ask your HCP.
- Have recently received or are scheduled to receive a vaccine. People who take RINVOQ should not receive live vaccines.
- Are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Based on animal studies, RINVOQ may harm your unborn baby. Your HCP will check whether or not you are pregnant before you start RINVOQ. You should use effective birth control (contraception) to avoid becoming pregnant during treatment with RINVOQ and for 4 weeks after your last dose.
- Are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. RINVOQ may pass into your breast milk. Do not breastfeed during treatment with RINVOQ and for 6 days after your last dose.
Tell your HCP about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. RINVOQ and other medicines may affect each other, causing side effects.
Especially tell your HCP if you take:
- Medicines for fungal or bacterial infections
- Rifampicin or phenytoin
- Medicines that affect your immune system
If you are not sure if you are taking any of these medicines, ask your HCP or pharmacist.
What should I do or tell my HCP AFTER starting RINVOQ?
- Tell your HCP right away if you have any symptoms of an infection. RINVOQ can make you more likely to get infections or make any infections you have worse.
- Get emergency help right away if you have any symptoms of a heart attack or stroke while taking RINVOQ, including:
- Tell your HCP right away if you have any signs or symptoms of blood clots during treatment with RINVOQ, including:
- Tell your HCP right away if you have a fever or stomach-area pain that does not go away, and a change in your bowel habits.
What are other possible side effects of RINVOQ?
Common side effects include upper respiratory tract infections (common cold, sinus infections), shingles (herpes zoster), herpes simplex virus infections (including cold sores), bronchitis, nausea, cough, fever, acne, headache, increased blood levels of creatine phosphokinase, allergic reactions, inflammation of hair follicles, stomach-area (abdominal) pain, increased weight, flu, tiredness, lower number of certain types of white blood cells (neutropenia, lymphopenia), muscle pain, flu-like illness, rash, increased blood cholesterol levels, and increased liver enzyme levels.
A separation or tear to the lining of the back part of the eye (retinal detachment) has happened in people with atopic dermatitis treated with RINVOQ. Call your HCP right away if you have any sudden changes in your vision during treatment with RINVOQ.
These are not all the possible side effects of RINVOQ.
How should I take RINVOQ?
RINVOQ is taken once a day with or without food. Do not split, crush, or chew the tablet. Take RINVOQ exactly as your HCP tells you to use it. RINVOQ is available in 15 mg, 30 mg, and 45 mg extended-release tablets.
This is the most important information to know about RINVOQ. For more information, talk to your HCP.

Gen Z VCs is a collective of 17,000+ young venture capitalists (VCs), angel investors, founders, startup enthusiasts, and aspiring VCs. The global organization strives to make venture capital (VC) more transparent and welcoming for the next generation of investors through several initiatives. They serve as the central place where young people in venture capital can collaborate, connect Gen Z founders with like-minded young investors, and elevate the Gen Z perspective and voices.
"This community has grown from a Slack group when I launched my career in VC into a much larger movement around empowering the next generation. We quickly grew from a group of 30 friends to 17,000+ people globally, and we're excited to begin our national roadshow," said Meagan Loyst, Founder of Gen Z VCs. "Chicago has proven to be one of the most diverse, dynamic startup communities in the world, and it's the perfect host city for our upcoming national event for founders, innovators, and investors."

"Gen Z VCs represent the bright future of the global venture capital ecosystem, and we're excited to showcase Chicago to their founders, innovators, and investors."

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A Des Moines utility has for years engaged in a bitter struggle to clean up drinking water that comes from rivers teeming with agricultural pollutants, filing lawsuits, proposing legislation and even public shaming to try to force farmers to reduce runoff from their fields.
None of it has worked, so Des Moines Water Works is trying a less combative approach — inviting farmers to learn the latest techniques for reducing pollution at riverfront plots of corn and soybeans in the sprawling park where the utility filters the city’s drinking water.
“I think it’s great to have the farmers out here and show what can be done,” said Jessica Barnett, who oversees management of the 1,500-acre (2.3-square mile) park little more than a mile from downtown.
It’s a surprising turn in a long-running dispute between the state’s dominant industry and a utility that supplies drinking water to 600,000 customers in Iowa’s largest metro area.
Des Moines Water Works has complained for years that nitrates and phosphorous from farm fertilizers pour off fields, leaving rivers so polluted that the utility fears even its sophisticated and costly equipment can’t purify the water. The utility’s efforts to hold some upstream counties legally liable for the pollution have failed, and Republicans who control the legislature and governor’s office have repeatedly rejected regulation, instead supporting voluntary programs too limited to result in real improvements.
That history makes the deal between Landus, the state’s largest farmer-owned grain cooperative, and Water Works all the more surprising. Or as Matt Carstens, the president and CEO of Landus, put it: “This is an unlikely partnership.”
In some ways, Carstens and Water Works CEO Ted Corrigan said the new initiative is possible only because the earlier, more confrontational approaches failed.
“Whatever we’ve tried in the past hasn’t been as successful as this could be,” Carstens said.
Under the plan, Landus has planted corn, soybeans and a cover crop of rye and red clover on three plots totaling about 12,000 square feet (1,100 square meters) near a bend in the Raccoon River that, along with the Des Moines River, meets the city’s water needs.
Landus plans to bring in about 500 farmers through the summer to examine the plots and learn how they can confidently scale back their use of fertilizer, with more advanced monitoring and by planting cover crops that grow alongside the main crop and naturally infuse the soil with nitrate.
Dan Bjorkland, a soil expert at Landus, said he’s especially hopeful the company’s efforts will encourage more planting of cover crops, now used by less than 10% of Iowa farmers despite the clear benefits in preventing erosion and creating healthy soil. Some farmers might be more willing to consider planting cover crops because fertilizer prices have reached record highs due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which disrupted supply chains.
“We have the technology today in agriculture to apply exactly what you need,” Bjorkland said. “I call it the Goldilocks method of nutrient management. You don’t want too much but you have to have enough to get the production you need.”
Jeff Frank, a corn and soybean farmer from northwest Iowa who attended a presentation on the new effort last week, said farmers used to be encouraged to apply more fertilizer than needed to ensure they had enough.
“We were coached that way, to put down a little extra, to have a little in the bank,” Frank said. “The technology has come a long way and that isn’t the case anymore.”
Corrigan, of Water Works, said he’s hopeful the demonstration plots along with other efforts by local governments to build streamside buffer zones will pay off in cleaner water. Corrigan also credited Landus for acknowledging that large-scale agriculture needs to take a lead in cleaning up Iowa’s waterways.
But Corrigan said he still believes some form of increased regulation is needed to significantly reduce runoff from the state’s roughly 85,000 farms.
“I don’t think it can be done without some sort of legislative action that sets minimum expectations and what we’re doing now is to show it can be done. Ag and clean waterways can coexist,” he said. “And maybe someday the Legislature will see it can be done and say, everyone needs to do it.”

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- August saw no IT jobs growth with overall IT jobs effectively flat, down 0.05% in August compared to the prior month, according to TechServe Alliance, the national trade association of the Technology Staffing and Solutions Industry. On a year-over-year basis, IT employment was up a meager 0.19% from July 2021, adding a net of only 10,500 jobs. The Engineering sector showed a year-over-year job growth rate of 4.04%, with the addition of 106,100 jobs over the course of the year.
"There is plenty of demand and positions open, but there are just not enough IT professionals around to meet the needs of businesses," said Mark Roberts, CEO of TechServe Alliance. "Our members are constantly educating their clients about the necessity of making quick hiring decisions, offering competitive benefits and compensation, and being flexible on where the work is performed wherever possible. Despite the talk of recession and pockets of layoffs, it is still an employee's market in IT with many candidates receiving multiple competing job offers."
The following table presents information about the total number of jobs in certain sectors that provide a significant amount of employment for IT and engineering professionals.
Technical note: TechServe Alliance's IT Employment Index and Engineering Employment Index are the first specific measurements of IT and engineering employment. These unique measurements of total IT and engineering employment are created monthly by studying the ongoing staffing patterns of a dozen IT and computer related occupations in 22 industries and industry sectors employing significant numbers of IT workers and nearly two dozen engineering occupations in 30 select industries and industry sectors employing significant numbers of engineering workers. Both the monthly IT Employment and Engineering Employment Indices are based on U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data, which is subject to monthly revisions, and is revised accordingly. Both indices are also subject to periodic revisions and annual revisions / benchmarking that includes revisions to several years of employment data, which also may incorporate new occupational definitions. Both indices were revised / benchmarked going back several years starting with January 2022 data and published in February 4, 2022. In addition, both indices are subject to minor revisions to March and April data. The next major revision will be published in February 2023.

By DICK SCANLON
Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Brandon Lowe hit a pair of triples and Manuel Margot had a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning, leading the Tampa Bay Rays over the Toronto Blue Jays 5-2. Lowe’s RBI triple capped a three-run eighth as the Rays sent Toronto to its fifth straight loss. The Rays broke a 2-2 tie with three straight hits off starter Kevin Gausman. Margot returned to the lineup after missing two games with a tight hamstring and extended his hitting streak to 10 games with his go-ahead single. Andrew Kittredge got the win in relief and Jason Adam pitched the ninth for his first major league save.

LONDON (AP) — The number of coronavirus deaths fell by 9% in the last week while new cases remained relatively stable, according to the latest weekly pandemic report released by the World Health Organization Wednesday.
The U.N. health agency said there were more than 14,000 COVID-19 deaths in the last week and nearly 7 million new infections. The Western Pacific reported a 30% jump in cases while Africa reported a 46% drop. Cases also fell by more than 20% in the Americas and the Middle East.
The number of new deaths rose by 19% in the Middle East, while dropping by more than 70% in Africa, 15% in Europe and 10% in the Americas.
The WHO said that the omicron subvariant BA.5 remains dominant globally, accounting for nearly 70% of all virus sequences shared with the world’s biggest publicly available virus database. The agency said other omicron subvariants, including BA.4 and BA.2, appear to be decreasing in prevalence as BA.5 takes over.
The WHO cautioned that its assessment of COVID-19 trends remains compromised by countries dropping many of their testing, surveillance and sequencing efforts as most countries have relaxed pandemic controls.
Still, Chinese authorities have announced new restrictions this week, after finding COVID-19 cases in the tourist island of Hainan and in Tibet. Earlier this week, the Chinese government shut down Lhasa’s Potala Palace, the traditional home of the Dalai Lama, and also locked down Haikou, the capital of Hainan, in addition to several other cities including the beach resort Sanya.
About 80,000 tourists were stranded this week in Sanya after Chinese officials declared it a COVID-19 hot spot and required people to test negative five times within a week before being allowed to leave.
On Tuesday, the Chinese government sent a first planeload of 125 tourists out of Sanya and said other flights would be organized to fly out tourists in batches once they fulfilled the criteria to leave.

Some lucky night sky watchers caught a glimpse of a brand new meteor shower on Monday night, as Earth passed through the debris trail of a crumbling comet.
The meteor shower peaked around 1 a.m. ET, with 10 to 25 meteors an hour spotted falling through the night sky, according to EarthSky.com, which described the meteor shower as "decent."
New meteor showers like this one are relatively rare. NASA had described the meteor shower as "an all or nothing event."
The comet, officially known as 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann, or SW3, was discovered in 1930 by German observers Arnold Schwassmann and Arno Arthur Wachman. It wasn't spotted again until the late 1970s, and in the 1990s the comet shattered into several pieces, NASA said.
By the time SW3 passed Earth again in 2006, it was in nearly 70 pieces, and has continued to fragment further since then, the statement said. It was unclear whether the debris would strike Earth's atmosphere at a high enough velocity to cause a meteor shower.
Each year, there are around 30 meteor showers, which occur when the Earth passes through the trail of debris left by a comet or asteroid, that are visible with the naked eye.
Some meteor showers have been around for centuries. For example, the Perseid meteor shower, which occurs each year in August, was first observed about 2,000 years ago and recorded by Chinese astronomers, NASA said.
Meteor showers are typically named after the constellation from where they appear to radiate in the night sky, although Robert Lunsford, secretary general of the International Meteor Organization, said that the tau Herculids had been incorrectly named.
In a blog written before Monday's meteor shower, he said that they will appear to radiate from a constellation known as Bootes, northwest of the brilliant orange star known as Arcturus (alpha Bootis).
More meteor showers
There are several other opportunities to witness meteor showers this year.
The Delta Aquariids are best seen from the southern tropics and will peak between July 28 and 29, when the moon is 74% full.
Interestingly, another meteor shower peaks on the same night -- the Alpha Capricornids. Although this is a much weaker shower, it has been known to produce some bright fireballs during its peak. It will be visible for everyone, regardless of which side of the equator they are on.
The Perseid meteor shower, the most popular of the year, will peak between August 11 and 12 in the Northern Hemisphere.
Here is the meteor shower schedule for the rest of the year, according to EarthSky's meteor shower outlook.
- October 8: Draconids
- October 21: Orionids
- November 4 to 5: South Taurids
- November 11 to 12: North Taurids
- November 17: Leonids
- December 13 to 14: Geminids
- December 22: Ursids

Local Florists Across the Country Give Back to Their Community with surprise floral donations July 17-23, 2022
LOS ANGELES, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Teleflora, the world's leading floral delivery service, and its network of professional florists nationwide are excited to celebrate Teleflora's 21st annual Make Someone Smile® Week, from Sunday, July 17, through Saturday, July 23. Throughout the week-long initiative, Teleflora member florists and local volunteers will hand craft and hand deliver thousands of Be Happy® Bouquets to individuals in need of a smile. The arrangements will be delivered to essential workers, those in nursing homes and hospitals, Meals on Wheels recipients, and many more.
Since the inception of Make Someone Smile® Week in 2000, Teleflora has donated more than 600,000 Be Happy® Mugs to house the signature Teleflora bouquet that has come to embody the Make Someone Smile® Week program. Member florists then work with local wholesalers and growers in their areas to secure donations of fresh flowers for their volunteer teams, who design surprise bouquets and deliver them to community members in need of a smile.
"For more than two decades, Teleflora florists have spearheaded an initiative that shows the impact a nice gesture and unexpected gift can have on someone. Make Someone Smile® Week has blossomed into an annual initiative that both florists and community members look forward to year-after-year," says Lottie McKinnon, program director of industry relations, education, and design academy at Teleflora.

DENVER, Aug. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Two years ago, PeerSource decided to launch a summer internship program geared towards college students going into their senior year. A few successful internships later, PeerSource now wants to grow the program.
PeerSource recruits information technology talent for clients nationwide, while its sister company, Nextaff, provides healthcare talent to facilities in several markets. Together, PeerSource and several Nextaff franchises are supported by shared services entity PSN Staffing.
PSN interns are given the opportunity to work with multiple Nextaff franchises and Managing Partners around the country. It is a great opportunity to learn from many different entrepreneurs and business drivers that are veterans in the industry. It is also a great way to see how multiple offices and managers can work together to help each other succeed.
John Snellings, Co-Founder of PeerSource and multiple Nextaff franchises, shared his perspective about how the internship was designed for his companies. "Our goal is not only to identify future talent for our firms and clients, but to also impart knowledge and share our entrepreneurial experience with aspiring young leaders," said Snellings.
An internship with PSN is not your typical internship; these young adults get to learn and practice all different sides of the business. After a brief training period, they get to recruit, interview, hire, and onboard talent. Additionally, an intern at PSN will quickly learn that business development is just as important as recruiting quality talent. They reach out to potential clients by making calls, sending emails, and support various marketing strategies. They also contribute to the growth of the different Nextaff franchise's social media presence by utilizing their own creativity and expertise to craft content.
"Being in the recruiting industry, we know the importance of getting real-world experience on a resume to stand out from the other college graduates," said Trevor Richards, a Director at PeerSource. "Our action-packed internship program gets them solid business experience in a fun, relaxed environment."
This internship has created some great opportunities for college students, who get a chance to come back to the team as full-time employees after graduation. Snellings hopes that in the future, PSN can support a year-round internship program to give even more young adults the opportunity to be a part of it.
For more information on the internship program, contact PeerSource at info@mypeersource.com.

NEW YORK, July 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Jakubowitz Law announces that a securities fraud class action lawsuit has commenced on behalf of shareholders of Outset Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: OM).
To receive updates on the lawsuit, fill out the form:
This lawsuit is on behalf of all persons or entities who purchased Outset Medical common stock between September 15, 2020, and June 13, 2022.
Shareholders interested in acting as a lead plaintiff representing the class of wronged shareholders have until September 6, 2022 to petition the court. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
According to a filed complaint, Outset Medical, Inc. issued materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company's flagship product, Tablo Hemodialysis System ("Tablo"), would require an additional 510(k) application to be filed with The United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), as defendants had "continuously made improvements and updates to Tablo over time since its original clearance"; (2) as a result, the Company could not conduct a human factors study on a cleared device in accordance with FDA protocols; (3) the Company's inability to conduct the human factors study subjected the Company to the likelihood of the FDA imposing a "shipment hold" and marketing suspension, leaving the Company unable to sell Tablo for home use; and (4) as a result, defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and /or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
Jakubowitz Law is vigorous in pursuit of justice for shareholders who have been the victim of securities fraud. Attorney advertising. Prior results do not guarantee similar outcomes.
