White House to unveil latest strategy to fight COVID
Published: Sep. 15, 2022 at 8:36 AM EDT|Updated: 22 minutes ago
(CNN) - The U.S. government is updating its latest strategy to fight COVID-19.
The White House will launch the 2022 COVID-19 Global Recovery and Response Framework Thursday.
One official familiar with the initiative said the strategy is geared to end the global emergency and protect health systems around the world.
The plan’s objectives will include vaccinating people with the highest risk and who are hardest to reach to prepare for future variants and health threats.
The official said the White House is requesting $4 billion to implement the strategy.
The announcement was timed to coincide with U.N. General Assembly meetings, so world leaders could discuss and coordinate the plan.

Fred Franzia, the man behind the famous "Two Buck Chuck," died on Tuesday at age 79.
The Franzia family and the Bronco Wine Company announced Franzia's death on Instagram. Franzia founded the company with one of his brothers and a cousin in 1973. The trio aimed to create "high quality wines at a value for wine consumers."
"Core to his vision was a belief that wine should be enjoyed and consumed on every American Table," the company said. "When asked how Bronco Wine Company can sell wine less expensive than a bottle of water, Fred T. Franzia famously countered, 'They're overcharging for the water — don't you get it?'"
The California winemaker said countless times over his career that a person should not have to pay more than $10 for a bottle of wine. The thought, while appealing to many, was just as distressing to many people who indulge in more expensive wines.
Still, Franzia did well to bring affordable wine to the masses through his plethora of brands and his savvy business tactics of buying and selling wine in bulk at opportune times, as detailed by The New Yorker. Probably none of these are more famous than the Charles Shaw brand that is sold exclusively at Trader Joe's grocery stores. For years, consumers could grab a bottle or two for just $1.99 each.
The price has gone up some, but "Two Buck Chuck" still remains well within grasp for those who value affordability.
It's also competed with pricier wines and come out on top. In 2004, the 2002 Charles Shaw Shiraz won a prestigious double gold medal at the 28th Annual International Eastern Wine Competition among the 2,300 other wines.
Carol Emert, a wine columnist at the time, told NPR she wasn't surprised at how well the Charles Shaw brand did.
"The flavor profile of Charles Shaw tends to be very fruit forward, very likable, very approachable," Emert told Morning Edition. "It has a surprising amount of tannin and other types of complexity which is why people are so wowed by the fact that they can get it for $2. It doesn't taste like a cheap, simple syrupy wine."
While Franzia had a lot of success with bargain wines, he was not involved in the business of the popular Franzia boxed wine. As Wine Spectator reports, the Franzia brand was once owned by the same family, but it was sold to Coca-Cola before Fred founded Bronco Wine Company alongside his brother and cousin. The decision to sell the company did not sit well with Franzia.
"My dad, he was not a fighter," he told The New Yorker in 2009."He just folded. And he and I went through a period of no communication."
Though the family's original brand was sold, Franzia made a point to keep Bronco Wine Company family-owned even as it went through vertical integration — or bringing all aspects of its operations in-house.
"His entrepreneurial spirit, tireless dedication, and his commitment to both his family and to the Bronco family will forever be remembered," the company said. "His legacy will endure for generations to come."

MARTHA'S VINEYARD, Mass. — About 50 migrants arrived by plane in Martha's Vineyard, Mass., Wednesday on a flight paid for by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and that originated in San Antonio, Texas.
The migrants touched down at about 3:15 p.m. local time. Later Wednesday, a spokesperson for DeSantis sent a statement to NPR and other news outlets confirming that the migrants were transported by Florida under a state program that was funded by the legislature earlier this year. The statement reads in part: "States like Massachusetts, New York and California will better facilitate the care of these individuals who they have invited into our country by incentivizing illegal immigration."
The Florida statement refers to two planes, but local officials at Martha's Vineyard say there was only one.
However, a number of migrants told NPR their flight originated in San Antonio, and that they were being transported to Boston.
NPR confirmed that a plane originated in San Antonio, made a stop in Florida and then another stop in South Carolina before flying on to Martha's Vineyard. But apart from that layover, the migrants NPR interviewed had not spent time in Florida.
The unannounced flight drew anger from Massachusetts officials.
"We have the governor of Florida ... hatching a secret plot to send immigrant families like cattle on an airplane," said state Sen. Dylan Fernandes, who represents Martha's Vineyard. "Ship them women and children to a place they weren't told where they were going and never alerted local officials and people on the ground here that they were coming. It is an incredibly inhumane and depraved thing to do."
NPR was able to interview three of the migrants late Wednesday. "They (the migrants) told us they had recently crossed the border in Texas and were staying at a shelter in San Antonio," NPR's Joel Rose said on today's Morning Edition.
The migrants said a woman they identified as "Perla" approached them outside the shelter and lured them into boarding the plane, saying they would be flown to Boston where they could get expedited work papers. She provided them with food. The migrants said Perla was still trying to recruit more passengers just hours before their flight.
Andres Duarte, a 30-year-old Venezuelan, said he had recently crossed the border into Texas and eventually went to a shelter in San Antonio.
"She (Perla) offered us help. Help that never arrived," Andres said. "Now we are here. We got on the plane with a vision of the future, of making it." He went on to explain why he boarded the plane with so little information in hand. "Look, when you have no money and someone offers help, well, it means a lot."
In Martha's Vineyard, the migrants are staying at a church shelter while local authorities and nonprofit organizations figure out what's going to happen next. Lisa Del Castro, who runs a homeless shelter on the island, said resources were initially scarce.
"Everything from beds to food to clothing to toothbrushes, toothpaste, blankets, sheets. I mean, we had some of it ... but we did not have the numbers that we needed."
Most of the arrivals spoke little or no English, and Spanish-speaking high school students were pressed into service as interpreters.
Edgartown Police Chief Bruce McNamee said many of the migrants were confused.
"We have talked to a number of people who've asked, 'Where am I?' And then I was trying to explain where Martha's Vineyard is."
The Wednesday flight extends a tactic by Republican politicians in primarily southern states have used to send migrants to Democrat-controlled cities in the north. Republican leaders have used this step to protest the rise in illegal immigration during President Biden's time in office, and the issue figures to be prominent in November's midterm elections.
Martha's Vineyard has a reputation as a destination for the progressive elite, and DeSantis has been regularly bringing up the island enclave at his press conferences. Republican governors in Texas and Arizona have also been transporting migrants from the border to northern cities at taxpayer expense.
Democrats and immigrant advocates say those governors are essentially using migrants as political pawns. But the governors say are simply calling attention to a very real problem.
The U.S. Border Patrol is on pace to record 2 million apprehensions in a fiscal year for the first time ever.
Del Castro, who runs the Martha's Vineyard shelter where the migrants spent the night, said the group is resilient.
"There's some really sad stories. And then some people, the only thing they were expressing is how grateful they are to be here, and to be safe, and cared for, right? And, you know, their needs are immense right now."
NPR spoke with Yesica, a migrant who gave only her first name because of her undocumented immigration status. She said she was uncertain about her future.
"Oh, goodness. I don't know what is going to happen to us," Yesica said, speaking in Spanish. "The truth is I am worried. It will be whatever God wishes, no? We're here now and there's nothing we can do."
"Not even," she added, "to take a step back."

Amtrak says it’s working quickly to restore canceled trains
(AP) - Amtrak says it is working to quickly restore canceled trains after President Joe Biden announced that a tentative railway labor agreement has been reached.
Amtrak said Thursday that it is reaching out to impacted customers to accommodate on first available departures.
Amtrak had canceled a number of its long-distance trains this week as a potential strike loomed.
A strike would have disrupted passenger traffic as well as freight rail lines, because Amtrak and many commuter railroads operate on tracks owned by the freight railroads.
Railroads and union representatives had been in negotiations for 20 hours at the Labor Department on Wednesday to hammer out a deal, as there was a risk of a strike starting on Friday that could have shut down rail lines across the country.
The tentative agreement will go to union members for a vote after a post-ratification cooling off period of several weeks.

Women currently hold only 14% of U.S. board positions. Partnership seeks to change that.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, 6sense, in partnership with the Athena Alliance, launched The Empowered CMO Board Book aimed at propelling female Chief Market/Marketing Officers (CMOs) to leadership positions where they can have the most impact: in the boardroom. The book provides venture capital, private equity, and corporate board executives with a curated list of more than 60 women CMOs who are qualified and ready to serve on boards.
With thousands of board members serving Fortune 1000 companies, just 26 of them (or 3%) are marketing professionals according to Spencer Stuart, and only 14% of total board positions are held by women.
At the 2021 Empowered CMO Retreat, Latané Conant, Chief Market Officer at 6sense, announced a commitment to drive the advancement of distinguished women CMOs by opening doors and creating opportunities. Recognizing the importance of sponsorship, 6sense invested in more than 100 women CMOs to join the Athena Alliance to accelerate their board readiness and develop their board candidate resume for inclusion in the Board Book.
"I really love that 6sense recognizes an issue and is taking action to address it. We saw a need for women CMOs in the boardroom and an opportunity with our Empowered CMO community, and we knew we had the right relationships to influence the next generation of board candidates," said Conant. "We're addressing both the lack of gender diversity and market expertise in boardrooms that are proven to hold companies back from the growth they deserve. It's only our first step, but it's a big one."
Leaders at thriving companies can attest that a deep understanding of the "market" at the executive and board levels is critical. As more board chairpersons and CEOs recognize how important marketing, messaging, positioning, and the customer experience are to their companies' growth trajectory, corporate boards seek to include those voices in the boardroom.
At the same time, research is showing that diverse boards are better at advising the companies they serve. Diverse boards foster more impressive innovation, especially in groundbreaking industries like tech.[1] And there's a positive correlation between women's presence on boards and greater financial returns.[2]
Yet many company leaders and investors struggle to connect with experienced women candidates who both increase a board's diversity and bring market expertise. This collaboration between 6sense and Athena Alliance seeks to bridge this gap by making it easy for seasoned women marketing leaders and those filling board seats to find each other.
"Athena has supported over 400 women in gaining board seats, securing almost 1,000 interviews for women leaders along the way. We've guided and coached success on both sides of the table," says Coco Brown, CEO & Founder of the Athena Alliance. "Athena is a perfect partner for this effort, not only for our experience in this area, but for our deep commitment to evolving the maturity of the modern boardroom. We are honored to collaborate with 6sense and Empowered CMO to create this revolutionary approach— a 'board book' of the most powerful women in go-to-market. This first release is just the starting point. And it will be received by at least 100 VCs and PE firms. That's action."
"Many company strategy problems come to a head in marketing," said Carilu Dietrich, a former CMO and advisor to hypergrowth companies. "Seasoned marketing executives can add perspective and insight to help CEOs and boards tackle these critical issues and accelerate growth. Top CMOs have seen both the symptoms and the causes behind the numbers. This makes them a valuable complement to boards traditionally composed of life-time investors, CFOs and ex-CEOs. It's exciting to see 6sense and Athena surfacing these talented women for new board openings. This program offers great value to CEOs looking for their next board member and to the women CMOs involved."

Study finds increasing network visibility is critical to improving security posture
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Infoblox Inc., the leader in foundational networking and security services, today announced the results of a Forrester Consulting study, which found IT leaders around the world share a ubiquitous appetite for greater network visibility. The findings underscore a convergence in security with networking, which IT decisionmakers now view as the missing strategy that will improve security response, automate compliance tasks, and better manage processes and outcomes.
Having 20/20 visibility is paramount to network security, because it helps organizations discover and understand what data they are securing and from whom they're securing it. To unlock these benefits requires collaboration between the networking and security teams with network visibility as the glue. This integration advances performance and capacity planning, reduced costs, and device discovery, which benefit both teams.
To further explore, Infoblox commissioned Forrester Consulting to survey the perspectives of 423 global IT leaders at companies in the consumer goods, professional services, retail, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, and chemicals industries. The study found that:
- Security leaders are increasing their investments in network visibility with 97% of respondents already invested in or are planning to invest in new visibility tools/technologies over the next three years; and 61% are eager to invest in network discovery tools.
- Solutions that improve visibility are in high demand with nearly 80% respondents viewing an integrated solution that benefits both their organizations' networking and security objectives as appealing, particularly to break down the silos between these organizations, which three out of four surveyed decisionmakers noted was a problem in their company.
- Better visibility elevates security responses and capabilities with 81% of surveyed decisionmakers agreeing that better network visibility would improve their organizations' security posture and capabilities.
Overall, the survey showed there is significant synergy between visibility and security with 98% of decisionmakers already investing in their security capabilities to support an evolving network architecture. Investing in network discovery (61%) captured the top spot for networking infrastructure as a means of supporting security capabilities.
"We believe these findings underscore that visibility is synonymous with improving efficiency and performance for both networking and security professionals," said Anthony James, Vice President of Infoblox. "These traditionally separate sectors are converging as businesses build out cloud-first infrastructures to enable hybrid work. Expanding the corporate network increases security risks, which requires both teams to have visibility into network traffic correlated to each connected device and user identity."
The in-depth study recommended several mitigations, including building zero trust with an identity-centric approach and standardizing on foundational solutions such as the DDI services organizations already use for network connectivity along with DNS security to accelerate threat hunts. Additionally, all organizations should educate and train their teams on these solutions to optimize value. Ensuring teams cross-functionally leverage the unique visibility DDI metadata yields will also help teams align on goals and minimize damages, particularly from security risks stemming from undetected threats.
Read more about the findings from the study here and register below for the webinar with Andre Kindness, Principal Analyst at Forrester, and Anthony James, VP of Product Marketing at Infoblox.
Infoblox is the leader in next generation DNS management and security. More than 13,000 customers, including over 75% of the Fortune 500, rely on Infoblox to scale, simplify and secure their hybrid networks to meet the modern challenges of a cloud-first world.

Award recognizes Abarca's new financial model, Assura
AVENTURA, Fla., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Abarca, a pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) that is transforming the industry with a new approach to drug trend management and business practices, has been awarded the 2022 PBMI Excellence Award for Assura, the company's innovative financial solution, from the Pharmacy Benefit Management Institute.
"Assura gives health plans the ability to manage and predict drug spend in an increasingly volatile market," said Jason Borschow, president and CEO of Abarca. "It's time PBMs act like true partners and help protect clients from runaway costs."
Through Assura, Abarca guarantees the net cost of drugs, including specialty medications, by offering a fixed, per-script cost for a plan's entire population. The guarantee is adjusted annually based on drug benefit coverage changes. Assura is designed to protect plans from the most common sources of cost increases, including drug mix and inflation, but it goes a step further by:
- Promoting biosimilars through formulary management
- Deploying targeted step therapies to drive utilization of low-cost generics first for both traditional categories as well as categories that are not typically managed in this way
- Optimizing coverage "pathways" for autoimmune drugs
- Deploying limited and preferred pharmacy networks
By implementing Assura, a commercial health plan serving more than 250,000 lives was able to make its drug spend more predictable and manageable in under one year. Previously, the plan was experiencing volatility in its overall drug spend, driven by unexpected specialty drug utilization. With Assura, the plan saw improved trend, greater predictability, and decreased administrative burden.
"We applaud Abarca's innovation in cost containment and the introduction of Assura," said Brian Haug, executive director of the Pharmacy Benefit Management Institute.

Partnership Credited for Driving Brand Growth
SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Motorsports and frozen treat fans can look forward to a sweet pit stop this September. As part of a multi-year agreement with Texas Motor Speedway, Andy's Frozen Custard®, the award-winning frozen custard and treat shop, today announced the title sponsorship of the NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) race on September 24 at Texas Motor Speedway. The "Andy's Frozen Custard 300," is the second entitlement of a sanctioned NASCAR race for the 36-year-old company, and an extension of the company founder's lifelong commitment to motorsports.
Andy's™ will again be partnering with Kaulig Racing for the "Andy's 300," and proudly represented by AJ Allmendinger. AJ is currently in first place in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and has already locked himself into the playoffs and will be driving the No.16 Andy's Frozen Custard Chevy in the race. But the sweet partnership doesn't stop there. Fans of Andy's and racing across the country can enjoy the "AJ AlmondDinger" Concrete, a limited-time treat developed by the flavor experts at Andy's. Featuring AJ's favorite toppings, the "AJ AlmondDinger" is a delectable concoction of vanilla frozen custard, hot fudge, peanut butter, Heath® bar and of course, almonds and is available at all120 Andy's locations through the end of the month.
"We are revved up about the Andy's 300 and our partnership entering its second year," Andy Kuntz, owner and CEO of Andy's Frozen Custard said. "The dramatic increase in our national brand awareness has had a big impact on our company and is helping us grow almost as fast as the racecars we sponsor. We will open nearly 20 new stores this year and have over 50 in development.
Kuntz added, "I grew up in a family with a long history of being motorsports fans and that tradition continues with my family, too. Our company has sponsored regional and developing drivers for 30 years and we're committed to continue being part of the racing community for years to come."
As part of the partnership, Andy's Frozen Custard is the Official Treat of Texas Motor Speedway, offering race fans from the region the chance to enjoy its award-winning frozen custard treats at the track through branded kiosks, treat trucks and to suite holders. Andy's also continues to work with Richard Childress Racing (RCR) and Austin Dillon as he navigates the Cup series this year, through logo placement and media collaborations. Dillon has already earned a coveted NASCAR Cup Series playoffs spot based on his race performance in 2022.
Andy's Frozen Custard and the Kuntz family are showcasing their roots in dirt-track racing and motorsports in multiple ways this year. Andy's announced a partnership with Brian Brown Racing (BBR) and their professional winged sprint car team earlier this year, and recently entered into an agreement with Carson Hocevar and Niece Motorsports to support their participation in several dirt-track events and NASCAR's Camping World Truck-series at Bristol and Talladega.
The Andy's Frozen Custard 300 will take place at 2:30 p.m. E.T. on Saturday, September 24, and will be broadcasted nationally on USA Network, owned by NBC Universal.
Founded in 1986 in Osage Beach, Missouri by Andy's parents John and Carol Kuntz, Andy's Frozen Custard has been providing the freshest frozen custard in the business for 36 years, giving ice cream the "cold shoulder" by scooping, mixing and presenting handcrafted frozen custard treats with speed and a smile. Since the beginning, the family has had one dream: to share what makes them happiest with everyone else, and to warm hearts, one scoop of frozen custard at a time. With a focus on product quality, customer service and community involvement, Andy's has grown into the nation's largest frozen custard-only business, with more than 2,000 employees and 119 company-owned and franchised stores across 15 states proudly serving the World's Finest Frozen Custard. Andy's also offers the 'Yum Squad Loyalty Club,' designed to say "thank you" to loyal customers by earning points to redeem towards a free treat for every dollar spent.

Ensuring the Impact on the Organ Donation and Transplantation System is Fully Understood
MCLEAN, Va., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Association of Organ Procurement Organizations (AOPO) submitted comments to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on proposed organ acquisition reimbursement changes included in the proposed 2023 Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) Rule. In the letter, AOPO emphasized its shared goal with CMS to continue to improve the organ donation and transplantation system and expand the overall number of organ transplants to save more lives. AOPO points out how some of the proposed changes to reimbursement policies for organ procurement organizations (OPOs) could cause logistical system-wide disruptions, reduce resources, and ultimately reverse recent progress by OPOs and other stakeholders to expand the number of deceased donor transplants for the 11 consecutive year. Specifically, AOPO made the following recommendations:
- Continue allowing organs originally procured for transplant purposes, but later deemed unusable and subsequently donated to research, to qualify as allowable Medicare organ acquisition costs. This important clarification will allow potentially groundbreaking research to continue.
- Prior to making any changes to reimbursement policies for non-renal organs or Medicare's share of standard acquisition charges, implement a system that provides OPOs access to up-to-date, real-time payer data that is available at the point of organ placement to avoid potential delays and disruptions.
- Reconsider a proposal to reconcile non-renal organs retroactively financially in the same way kidneys are currently. Due to the far less frequent and predictable nature of non-renal organs, applying this same reconciliation policy would force OPOs to increase financial reserves and take a more conservative approach to budget forecasting, undercutting their ability to continue investing in community outreach, innovations, and other important activities that have been pushing the boundaries of transplant and led to increased transplantation rates.
"We believe it is vital for CMS to consider all the stakeholder comments, downstream impacts, and logistical considerations before proceeding..."
AOPO also requested an extension on the request for information elements of this rule to allow AOPO and its OPO members sufficient time to collect and analyze data and provide more detailed responses to quantitative questions. AOPO also noted that several of its members have made separate data requests to the United Network of Organ Sharing and many are still awaiting responses. AOPO also suggests that a multi-stakeholder workgroup would be the most effective way to engage in a meaningful discussion with CMS and advance some of these multifaceted proposals, which impact a multitude of stakeholders and elements of this complex system.
"These are some outstanding questions that speak to the complex nature of the proposals included in this rule," says Barry Massa, AOPO President and Executive Director LifeCenter Organ Donor Network. "We believe it is vital for CMS to consider all the stakeholder comments, downstream impacts, and logistical considerations before proceeding with proposals with this degree of potentially significant implications."
These topics will also be a focus of AOPO's upcoming Advocacy Day where AOPO's member OPOs will meet with their Congressional representatives and staff to educate them about challenges currently facing OPOs and the organ donation and transplantation system.
"This is an opportunity for our member OPOs to go to Capitol Hill and tell our Congressional representatives about the complex process of organ procurement and transplantation," says Steve Miller, AOPO CEO. "Part of our mission is to educate policymakers on the important challenges facing OPOs and the transplant system more generally so that together, we can save more lives and achieve our goal of 50,000 annual organ transplants by 2026."
The Association of Organ Procurement Organizations (AOPO) is the not-for-profit trade association leading the nation's organ donation community to save and improve lives through organ, eye, and tissue donation. Founded in 1984, AOPO advances organ donation and transplantation by driving continual improvement of the donation process, collaborating with stakeholders, and sharing successful practices with their OPO members. The vision of AOPO is to pursue the day when every donation opportunity results in lives saved. For more information, please visit www.aopo.org.

Unified platform uses technology, data science and talent to customize solutions for transportation partners and increase employee productivity
AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Arrive Logistics, a leading multimodal transportation and technology company headquartered in Austin, Texas, recently introduced ARRIVEnow, the suite of proprietary digital solutions created to increase productivity and drive efficiency for its shippers, carriers, and employees at scale.
ARRIVEnow is a cloud-based native technology platform that uses machine learning models and human expertise to support the most complex transportation challenges. Over the next three years, Arrive will invest more than $120 million into ARRIVEnow software development, led by a growing team of more than 250 engineers, data scientists, and product management professionals. Arrive will hire more than 3,000 team members across sales, client success, and business operations through 2025 to complement that investment and further drive growth.
"We believe the best solutions are driven by data, powered by technology and delivered by people," said Michael Senftleber, Chief Technology Officer. "In 2022, Arrive will use all three resources to manage over $2.4 billion in logistics transactions. 90% of all freight moving through our system includes some significant form of automation and 60% of those shipments come directly through digital integration with our shippers. ARRIVEnow Carrier accounts for over 30% of all booking transactions and is projected to reach 50% by late 2023."
Investing heavily in developing purpose-driven technology and a team of experts is the Arrive copilot strategy. Implemented at every level of the company, the copilot strategy uses human-centric automation and omnichannel solutions to increase productivity and drive efficiency – without replacing the importance of close relationships.
"Technology automates many parts of our operation and calls exceptions to our attention, which is where our people excel," said Matt Pyatt, CEO and Co-Founder. "We deliver a better experience through an intentional mix of technology and an elite team of experts. Since the inception of ARRIVEnow, we have doubled our team's productivity across all sales cohorts."
The ARRIVEnow platform is comprised of two elements–digital solutions offering optionality and streamlined operations for shippers and carriers, along with tools for employees to optimize performance and delivery to Arrive's partners:
- ARRIVEnow is the proprietary Transportation Management System (TMS) for Arrive employees. It is backed by algorithms that automate operational tasks. For example, ARRIVEnow's matching algorithm ensures that each load is paired with the right carrier every time, reducing empty miles and carbon emissions– ARRIVEnow has saved 90 million kg of CO2 this year, in deadhead reduction alone.
- ARRIVEnow Carrier is a one-stop freight management portal that enables carriers to find, bid on and book loads instantly using a mobile device or desktop browser, with access to 24/7 customer support. The portal is accessed by over 50,000 active carriers representing more than one million power units. By 2023, ARRIVEnow Carrier will offer over 5,000 transactional truckload shipments to its carrier network daily.
- ARRIVEnow Shipper, which provides instant pricing for over 500 shippers through integrations, is adding to its suite of digital solutions by launching a web portal in early 2023. On top of their enterprise integration offering, ARRIVEnow Shipper will provide SMB shippers access to receive instant quotes, tracking updates, and manage documents from any device.
"In transportation, disruptions are inevitable. Our ability to deliver through any challenge is why our relationships with our partners are second to none. Arrive's mission is 'We Deliver, So You Can,' and ARRIVEnow is critical to that mission" adds Pyatt. "Every load has data that empowers ARRIVEnow to improve productivity and lower Arrive's cost per transaction, driving more volume into our platforms, making us an increasingly valuable partner.
This year, Arrive will have opened three new office locations in San Antonio, Texas, Tampa, Florida, and Guadalajara, Mexico. In 2023, the company will open additional offices, beginning with Phoenix and Columbus in the first half of the year.
Those interested in accessing the ARRIVEnow Carrier portal, or integrating with ARRIVEnow Shipper, reach out to your sales representative or visit www.arrivelogistics.com. To explore career opportunities with Arrive, visit www.arrivelogistics.com/careers.

LARKSPUR, Calif., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BondBloxx Investment Management announces the launch of a suite of eight duration-specific U.S. Treasury ETFs, which begin trading today on NYSE Arca. These first-to-market1 ETFs seek to offer investors a more precise, lower cost way to get exposure to U.S. Treasury Securities. The funds track a series of indices developed by Bloomberg Index Services that include duration-constrained subsets of U.S. Treasury bonds with over $300 billion outstanding.2
"In today's rapidly changing interest rate environment, key priorities for portfolio managers and investors are earning higher yields on strategic cash positions, precisely managing duration risk, and having effective collateral tools," said BondBloxx Client Portfolio Manager JoAnne Bianco. "BondBloxx Target Duration U.S. Treasury ETFs may help investors in all these areas, with the potential benefits of being lower cost, transparent, liquid and tax efficient."
The new ETFs add to the existing eleven BondBloxx products that have been launched since February 2022, including seven industry sector-specific high yield bond ETFs, three ratings-specific high yield bond ETFs, and one short-duration emerging market bond ETF. BondBloxx has gathered more assets in new fixed income ETFs launched in 2022 than any other ETF issuer.3
"At BondBloxx, we're committed to building innovative fixed income tools for the markets of today and tomorrow," added BondBloxx co-founder Tony Kelly. "These new ETFs, which we believe finally make it possible for investors to truly manage their duration exposure with precision, are an exciting and potentially valuable addition to that investor toolkit."
BondBloxx was founded in October 2021 with a singular focus on developing precision fixed income ETFs designed for modern fixed income markets. In a landscape where less than one quarter of the ETF products available in the U.S. provide fixed income exposure4, the company aims to provide better tools for investors to manage their fixed income portfolios.
The new products listing today, with their tickers and expense ratios, are:
- BondBloxx Bloomberg Six Month Target Duration US Treasury ETF
XHLF Expense Ratio: 0.03% - BondBloxx Bloomberg One Year Target Duration US Treasury ETF
XONE Expense Ratio: 0.03% - BondBloxx Bloomberg Two Year Target Duration US Treasury ETF

Glossary:
A U.S. Treasury Security is a negotiable debt obligation issued by the U.S. government for a specific amount and maturity.
Precise refers to exposures that are targeted, accurate reflections of the sector as defined by Bloomberg Index Services.
Duration is the risk associated with the sensitivity of a bond's price to a one percent change in interest rates. As interest rates rise or fall over time, the duration of U.S. Treasury securities in broad maturity range indices, as well as the funds and ETFs that track those indices, drift lower or higher – this is known as "duration drift" and sometimes can be quite dramatic.
Duration-constrained refers to an index methodology that seeks to achieve a specific duration target.
Carefully consider the Funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in the Funds' prospectus or, if available, the summary prospectus, which may be obtained by visiting BondBloxxETF.com. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.
The Funds are newly organized entities and have no operating history.
U.S. Treasury Obligations Risk. U.S. Treasury obligations may differ from other securities in their interest rates, maturities, times of issuance and other characteristics and may provide relatively lower returns than those of other securities. Similar to other issuers, changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. government may cause the value of the Funds' U.S. Treasury obligations to decline. While U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the "full faith and credit" of the U.S. Government, such securities are nonetheless subject to credit risk.
There are risks associated with investing, including possible loss of principal. Fixed income investments are subject to interest rate risk; their value will normally decline as interest rates rise, and vice versa. (This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income investments are also subject to credit risk, the risk that the issuer of a bond will fail to pay interest and principal in a timely manner, or that negative perceptions of the issuer's ability to make such payments will cause the price of that bond to decline. Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk, liquidity risk, call risk, and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Investing in mortgage- and asset -backed securities involves interest rate, credit, valuation, extension and liquidity risks and the risk that payments on the underlying assets are delayed, prepaid, subordinated or defaulted on. During periods of very low or negative interest rates, the Funds may be unable to maintain positive returns or pay dividends to Fund shareholders There is no guarantee that the funds will meet their stated investment objective. One cannot invest directly in an index.
The Funds are classified as "non-diversified" funds under the 1940 Act. The Funds may be susceptible to an increased risk of loss to the extent that the Funds' investments are concentrated in the securities and/or other assets of a particular issuer or issuers, sector, sub-sector, market segment, market, industry, group of industries, country, group of countries, region or asset class.
This shall not constitute or serve as an offer to sell products or services in any country or jurisdiction by BondBloxx. This document is for informational purposes only. All information is given in good faith and without warranty and should not be considered investment advice or an offer of any security for sale.

MIAMI, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Producer Jason Turchin is Founder of The Broadway Investor's Club and investor in numerous projects in the entertainment business, including the Tony-award winning musical Hadestown, Kinky Boots Off-Broadway, and the upcoming Broadway shows A Beautiful Noise and Sweeney Todd, among others. Turchin shares some information on the basics of Broadway investing:
Most Broadway show investment opportunities are limited to accredited investors as defined by the SEC. According to the SEC, the accredited investor definition largely determines whether investors are eligible to invest in many early-stage companies and productions. One may qualify under either financial criteria (i.e. income or assets over a certain amount) or professional criteria (i.e. they hold a Series 7, Series 65 or Series 82 license). Investors do not need a specific certificate to qualify. They generally just need to meet one or more of the criteria.
When a show raises money, the total it raises is called the capitalization. That total is often broken into subparts, or shares. Those shares may be offered to investors at a certain amount, usually $25,000-$50,000. Accredited investors can invest in a Broadway show by purchasing shares.
Unlike more traditional investments, like investing in real estate or investing in start-ups, Broadway investing may include other perks for investors. Some common perks a Broadway investor may get include tickets to opening night, tickets to the opening night party, access to house seats, and opening night gifts.
A Broadway investor may also get the right to invest in subsequent productions. While a portion of subsidiary revenue may flow back to the Broadway company, investors may also have the right to invest in other companies which branch off from the Broadway company, like a national tour, West End production, Asia tour, cast album, or professional production in a theater somewhere else in the world.
Best practice is to never invest more than you can afford to lose. There are no guarantees in theater investing. Even the best shows can lose money. Generally, though, you cannot lose more than you put in.
The Broadway Investor's Club is a group of investors, business and finance professionals, VCs, doctors, lawyers and entrepreneurs who enjoy the business of entertainment. For more information on The Broadway Investor's Club, visit www.investingbroadway.com.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Carolina Handling will attempt to create the world's largest pallet painting when it hosts The Patriotic Pallet Project on Monday, October 10, at Greenville Downtown Airport in Greenville, South Carolina.
Presented in partnership with pallet provider 48forty Solutions, the Greenville Airport Commission and the Military History Center of the Carolinas, The Patriotic Pallet Project features 2,500 painted wooden pallets that when placed in a grid like pattern will reveal the image of Lady Liberty.
During September, Carolina Handling associates and partners will paint the tops of the pallets using 20 different colors.

We are forever grateful to all veterans for their love for this country and willingness to serve. Our team is looking forward to providing the pallets for the record-breaking pallet painting, and we thank Carolina Handling for inviting us to participate."
The Patriotic Pallet Project event at Greenville Downtown Airport will begin at 10 a.m. on Monday, October 10, and conclude at 4 p.m. with a flyover of the completed pallet painting by two T-6 Texans, the vintage World War II training aircraft known as the Pilot Maker.
The event will include displays of military equipment and artifacts by the Military History Center of the Carolinas and exhibitors including military Veterans organizations. Food trucks will be on site from 11:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. The first 250 attendees will receive a Patriotic Pallet Project t-shirt.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- This Hispanic Heritage Month, the Tequila Don Julio Fund† is calling all Hispanic entrepreneurs who follow their heart and demonstrate that the best things in life are made por amor (for the love) to apply for a business grant. Eighty years ago, Don Julio González boldly approached a local businessman for a loan of 20,000 pesos to open his own distillery, where Tequila Don Julio continues to be made today. Following his heart, González spent his life perfecting his craft to create one of Mexico's most loved tequilas. Inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit of the brand's late founder, and the love he poured into each bottle of tequila resulting in an exceptionally smooth liquid, the grant program was created to pay it forward and celebrate Hispanic entrepreneurs who live out their craft por amor every day.

Charles & Colvard's commitment to using exclusively Made, Not Mined™ gemstones and 100% recycled precious metals is what sets them apart in the industry. While conscious bridal consumers have been aware of the brand since they began nearly 30 years ago, the Research Triangle Park, NC-based company won't be satisfied until their products are synonymous with all lab grown fine jewelry.
"We are a brand on the move," O'Connell says. "We believe lab grown jewelry is the future and we want to be the ones who show the world what uncompromised quality and ethics looks like."

Twenty students at TMCF member schools receive $10,000, which will help accelerate pathways to equitable opportunity
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today the Cognizant Foundation and Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) announced the inaugural winners of the Cognizant Foundation Emerging Leaders Scholarship. Through this new scholarship, 20 outstanding students throughout the United States will have access to new financial support to help alleviate the financial burdens of higher education and help set them up to be prepared for the jobs of the future.
As technology evolves and continues to create new opportunities for many, individuals from historically excluded and underserved backgrounds often do not have equitable access to the education, social capital, or employment opportunities to pursue careers in tech or other in-demand fields—which limits economic and social mobility over time.
"Supporting students to achieve a higher education not only helps them succeed, but also has a positive impact on their family and community. This Cognizant Foundation scholarship will help students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) gain the education and experiences that can unlock opportunities and put them in position to inspire and build better lives and communities," said Dr. Harry L. Williams, president and CEO of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund.
Winners received a $10,000 need-based scholarship for the 2022-2023 academic school year—and preference was given to students pursuing careers in technology and business. The scholarship criteria required students to be enrolled full-time as an undergraduate at one of the 47 TMCF member schools during the 2022-2023 academic school year.
"It is imperative that tech companies work to diversify the pipeline of talent coming into the field, and that starts before recruitment," said Shameka Young, vice president and global head of diversity and inclusion at Cognizant. "We are excited to support these 20 young people at the Thurgood Marshall College Fund's HBCU partner institutions and look forward to seeing them succeed in their education and professional pursuits."
A full list of scholarship winners can be found below:
- DeShawna Williams, Delaware State University
- Kevin Burton, Jr., Jackson State University
- Jordan Montrell Harper, Langston University
- Kendal Shuler, Langston University

About the Thurgood Marshall College Fund
Established in 1987, TMCF helps America's publicly supported Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), which educate 80% of the 300,000 HBCU students. TMCF provides access to higher education through scholarships and financial support, and prepares HBCU students to succeed in economically sustainable careers. These programs are particularly critical since over 75% of HBCU students are low-income, with 97% relying on financial aid – and over half are the first in their family to attend college.
TMCF's programs help HBCU students stay in school and graduate – resulting in generational economic transformation as 70% of HBCU graduates enter the middle class permanently. TMCF is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, charitable organization. For more information about TMCF, visit: www.tmcf.org.
About The Cognizant Foundation
The Cognizant Foundation works to inspire, educate and prepare people of all ages to succeed in the workforce of today and tomorrow. Since its founding in 2018, the foundation has awarded more than $60 million to organizations working to deliver industry-relevant education, technical skills training programs and critical research needed to modernize the ways we educate and employ our workforce.

The CMI brings clarity to the previously poorly categorized crypto economy
NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CoinDesk Inc. announces the launch of the CoinDesk Market Index (CMI), which includes eight subindices, constituting a family of broad-based digital asset indices designed to measure the market capitalization-weighted performance of the digital asset market. The subindices reflect sectors defined by CoinDesk's Digital Asset Classification Standard (DACS). The CoinDesk index family is the first to help quantify contributions to returns and risk by sectors and to measure sector exposures of managers versus their benchmarks and peer groups. For crypto native builders and investors, the CMI family provides general and sector peer groups and benchmarks of competitors for comparison and valuations. Moreover, the sector subindices may be more appropriate to measure the performance of sector-focused funds, and the subindices may be used to build sector rotation strategies. Read more here: Ordered Chaos: Why the CoinDesk Market Index Matters for the New Economy.
Jodie Gunzberg, Managing Director of CoinDesk Indices, said, "In an environment of high inflation or economic uncertainty, CMI provides clarity into the behavior of digital assets as a whole, and its sectors enable measurement of market segments to identify the return drivers, and differences to better manage risk."
Mainstream and crypto native investors seek broad-market and sector data for performance measurement, actionable ideas, risk management, and peer group evaluations. The CMI may serve as an asset class proxy in asset allocation models to help investors determine how much to allocate to digital assets.
List of Index Tickers, Names, Number of Constituents, and Weights
Source: CoinDesk Indices. Weights as of Sept 1, 2022@4PM ET. Constituents as of Sept 2, 2022, @4PM ET.
The CMI methodology narrows the DACS digital asset universe by requiring minimum pricing and market cap weighting the eligible assets. There are four primary eligibility criteria for assets in the CMI family: 1. Included in the latest DACS report; 2. Listed on at least two Eligible Exchanges; 3. Listed on an Eligible Exchange* for a minimum of 30 days; 4. Available pricing by a CoinDesk reference price**. The constituents that meet these four requirements are then weighted by market capitalization, reconstituted, and rebalanced monthly. The CMI index family is calculated in real-time using reference rates for each asset.
*Current Eligible Exchanges: Binance.US, BitFlyer, Bitstamp, Bittrex, Coinbase Pro, ErisX, FTX.US, Gemini, itBit, Kraken, LMAX Digital, Okcoin as listed in the CoinDesk Digital Asset Indices Policy Methodology.

Extends high-performance network to previously unserved businesses, capable of delivering Internet speeds up to 100 Gigabits per second and other advanced solutions to support business operations
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Comcast Business today announced the completion of a $2 million fiber network expansion to serve Philadelphia's Food Distribution Center. Located around Packer Avenue in South Philadelphia, adjacent to the Sports Complex, the Food Distribution Center is home to a concentration of food distributors and wholesalers.
Capable of delivering speeds of up to 1.2 Gigabit per second (Gbps) for small- and medium-sized businesses and up to 100 Gbps for larger enterprises, the network expansion will support 70+ businesses located in the commercial corridor by providing high-performance Ethernet and Internet needed to power the technology that enables critical restaurant business operations – from inventory tracking to advanced scheduling and more. Additionally, businesses will now have access to a comprehensive portfolio of Comcast Business products and services to help meet the day-to-day demands that require large amounts of bandwidth, linking multiple sites or locations or connecting offices to third-party data centers.
Since 2015, Comcast Business has committed a total of nearly $102 million in network expansions across the Greater Philadelphia and New Jersey area to benefit more than 24,000 of the region's businesses.
Philabundance is among the local organizations benefiting from the investment. The nearly 40-year-old organization distributes millions of pounds of food a year to those in need, including to more than 135,000 hungry people in Philadelphia and New Jersey every week. The latest expansion supports Philabundance with the deployment of new fiber optic cable offering a reliable Internet connection for the first time to the organization and other unserved businesses in the Food Distribution Center.
"We are thrilled to partner with Comcast for Internet service. Comcast has been an incredible partner in helping us achieve our mission to drive hunger from our communities today as we work to end hunger for good," said Loree D. Jones, Chief Executive Officer, Philabundance. "Having reliable Internet service is essential for us to provide the best support to our agency partners and the people they serve."
"The latest investments and network expansions in Greater Philadelphia, and in particular the Food Distribution Center, are a testament to Comcast Business's commitment to fostering economic development and transformation in our local communities," said Michael Louden, regional vice president for Comcast Business's Freedom Region. "Not only will access to our network in Philadelphia and New Jersey provide greater support to more businesses in the area, but it will help a local non-profit operate more efficiently and focus on providing children, families and seniors with access to food and meals."
Comcast Business offers a suite of Connectivity, Communications, Networking, Cybersecurity, Wireless, and Managed Solutions to help organizations of different sizes prepare for what's next.

RALEIGH, N.C., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Compass Surgical Partners (Compass), an independent, full-service ASC developer and manager, expands its team to help hospital and surgeon partners navigate a rapidly changing ASC landscape.
Ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) are freestanding surgical facilities that serve as a convenient, low-cost, same-day-surgery surgery option for patients. The case migration from inpatient to outpatient settings has accelerated, with the ASC market continuing to grow rapidly. To that end, Compass further expands its expert team to help partners successfully design, launch, and operate optimal outpatient strategies.
"Given the positive market reception to our proven high-performance partnership model, we believe this investment in additional resources will benefit our partners in our mutual quest to positively improve patients' lives," said Compass CEO DJ Hill.
Jason Mangus joins Compass from Atlas Healthcare Partners. Jason is deeply talented at architecting world class joint venture solutions, especially with leading healthcare organizations. He entered the ASC space as a VP of Development with USPI and recently led business development nationally for Ascension. He will serve as Senior Vice President of Business Development, covering the western US.
Sarah Cwiak joins Compass from Regent Surgical Health and was previously a VP at Optum in Development & Specialty Operation. She has a track record of creating partnerships that deliver sustainable profitability and clinical autonomy for physicians within hospital joint ventures. Her passion for ASCs developed working as an equity partner with surgeons in her own ASC management company. As Vice President of Business Development, Sarah will cover the east-central region.
Austin Kroschel joins Compass from National Cardiovascular Partners, an outpatient cardiology and vascular services provider. Austin is known for bringing insightful expertise to joint ventures, and his experience building partnerships at NCP will directly translate to his role at Compass. As Vice President of Business Development, Austin will cover the west central region.
In early 2022, Compass announced a minority investment by Health Velocity Capital (HVC), a growth equity firm that invests exclusively in innovative healthcare services and software businesses. The investment by HVC, along with Compass' commitment to support high-performance ASCs, has enabled Compass to grow the team and innovate on data and analytics, physician practice and hospital support services, new service delivery models, and patient and provider tools. With these improvements, Compass seeks to create the next-generation delivery model for outpatient surgery.
Compass Surgical Partners is an independent, full-service ASC developer and manager. It is the partner of choice for high performance ambulatory surgery centers. Compass has deep expertise in outpatient orthopedics and spine, with over 250 ASCs developed by our team members over several decades.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Corcoran Group, LLC announced today its affiliate, Corcoran HM Properties, has expanded its growing operation into Charleston, South Carolina. The announcement was made by Corcoran President & CEO Pamela Liebman, and Corcoran HM Properties broker-owner Valerie Mitchener. Corcoran HM Properties' growth marks the eighth Corcoran affiliate to announce an expansion in less than one year.
This market expansion, Corcoran HM Properties' first since affiliating with Corcoran in June 2021, is a strategic step in the firm's growth plan and broadens its reach from the Charlotte, North Carolina region to the greater Charleston area, including Mt. Pleasant, Sullivans Island, Isle of Palms, and more. This growth brings Corcoran HM Properties' agent population to more than 130 affiliated real estate professionals, increasing their agent count by 15% since joining the Corcoran brand.
"As I've said before, our affiliates' milestones are some of proudest moments, and today's news from Corcoran HM Properties is definitely cause for celebration," said Liebman. "Val and her team are incredibly dedicated and I've long admired the focus they have on growing their business and ensuring both their affiliated agents' and clients' satisfaction. This strategic move into Charleston will not only open doors for their team, it's a significant market for the Corcoran® network."
Corcoran HM Properties was founded by Mitchener in 2006, and the locally owned and operated boutique firm quickly grew to be a market leader in the Charlotte metro area. Corcoran HM Properties' notable success and growth to date can be directly attributed to the team's ability to adapt to the ever-evolving needs of Charlotte's high-end real estate market and the elevated education and individualized business guidance they provide their agents. The firm also boasts an in-house relocation department that manages both individual and corporate moves and has been the preferred Realtor® for the NBA's Charlotte Hornets for more than a decade.
"Charleston, South Carolina is known for many things – its history, architecture, and beaches, to name a few – and we've long known that this was a market we wanted to serve," said Mitchener. "The area attracts many second-home buyers for vacation homes or investment properties, so this was a natural fit given the client needs we already serve in Charlotte. I'm thrilled to be entering this next chapter of our growth and am grateful to our agent community in Charleston and all of our current and future clients."
The Corcoran Group has been a leading residential real estate brand for nearly 50 years. Through its New York City, Hamptons, and South Florida brokerages, along with its rapidly growing affiliate network, the firm is home to more than 170 offices and more than 6,000 independent salespersons in key urban, suburban, and resort markets nationwide. Corcoran agents earn and keep their clients' trust with an unwavering commitment to white-glove service, expertise, and integrity. In every market served, Corcoran helps you find the home that's just right for you. The Corcoran® brand comprises both offices owned by a subsidiary of Anywhere Advisors LLC (f/k/a Realogy Brokerage Group LLC) and franchised offices, which are independently owned and operated.

Nationwide survey reveals many consumers are unaware of cyber insurance solutions
Highlights:
- Nationwide's Agency Forward survey reveals 58% of consumers are concerned about falling victim to a cyberattack – up nine points since June 2020.
- Despite those concerns, 69% of those surveyed say they don't have cyber insurance
- Without insurance, recovery from a cyber issue can take up to years and cost thousands of dollars. Having insurance can drastically reduce recovery time and spare consumers additional costs due to damage.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Cyberattacks are grabbing headlines every day so it's no wonder many Americans fear they could be the next cyber victim. The latest Agency Forward cyber security survey from Nationwide reveals that consumer concerns about a cyberattack are on the rise, especially as more people rely on technology and data for everyday tasks like grocery shopping or paying bills.
58% of those surveyed admit they are concerned about falling victim to a cyberattack – up nine points since June 2020. Consumers said increased frequency (61%) and sophistication of attacks (51%) in recent years are causes for concern.
One in five consumers report having been victim of cybercrimes, with the most common attacks being password attacks (38%), data breaches (31%), malware (30%) and phishing (30%).
"The survey data is startling," said Beth Riczko, Nationwide's President of Property and Casualty Personal Lines. "Since cyberattacks are now commonplace, it reinforces the need for consumers to make protecting their personal cyber footprint with insurance and mitigation a priority – just like they would with their home or car."
The Agency Forward data showed that 86% of consumers believe cyber insurance would take care of recovery needs after an attack. However, 69% of consumers do not have cyber insurance to protect their digital assets. Why? People either have a lack of knowledge about cyber coverage (46%) or didn't know it was available to them (43%). And while nearly one in four (26%) have turned down the coverage because they think it's too costly, the truth is - cyber protection is quite affordable.
"Consumers can protect their digital identity each month for a lot less than they think," says Riczko. "Nationwide customers can add identity theft coverage with cyber protection features to their policy for about $4 a month. This monitors their personal data amid growing risks and cybercrimes."
Many Americans admit they're not ready to deal with the effects of a cyberattack. Only 31% of consumers feel prepared to deal with the aftermath of a cyberattack, and 68% haven't given much thought to what they'd do if they were attacked. Of those who have already fallen prey to hackers, more than half (53%) admitted they didn't know what to do or where to start with recovery.
Additionally, 6 in 10 say the cyberattack they experienced impacted their finances.
"According to the Triple I, for those without cyber protection, recovery from a cyber issue can take anywhere from weeks to years and cost thousands of dollars," said Riczko. "With insurance, that timeline and cost shrink dramatically."
Insurance agents can be a great resource to helping consumers protect their digital footprint, especially their identity. They can also provide details about Nationwide's ID Theft endorsement, available for auto, homeowners, renters and condo customers. It includes many cybersecurity protection features, including Anti-Ransomware, DataScramble®, and Phishblock®, personal cyber protection advice and guidance, data recovery and device clean-up assistance, and home internet security restoration.
"Consumers should work with their agent to identify vulnerabilities. With this information an agent can provide resources to help shore up weak spots and recommend a product that will help in the event of an attack, like Nationwide's identity theft endorsement with cyber protection features," said Riczko.

IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Edwards Lifesciences Corporation (NYSE: EW), today announced the company's PASCAL Precision transcatheter valve repair system for transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) has received FDA approval for the treatment of patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR).
"Patients suffering with debilitating symptoms as a result of degenerative mitral regurgitation represent a large and significantly underserved group in the US," said Bernard J. Zovighian, Edwards' corporate vice president, transcatheter mitral and tricuspid therapies. "Edwards' 60-year history of innovation and leadership within structural heart disease positions our team well to bring the PASCAL Precision system to US clinicians, supporting excellent real-world outcomes for patients."
The PASCAL Precision system, with its independent grasping, atraumatic clasp and closure, and ability to elongate, enables safe and effective treatment for patients with DMR. Engineered with an intuitive catheter and handle, the system is designed for maneuverability and stability, enabling precise navigation and implant delivery.
"The mitral valve is highly complex and challenging to treat," said Firas Zahr, M.D., Associate Professor of Medicine, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, School of Medicine, Oregon Health & Science University, whose patients participated in the CLASP IID clinical trial. "Through my participation in the CLASP IID pivotal trial, I have performed many cases with the PASCAL system. With FDA approval of the PASCAL system, US clinicians now have an additional option for treating patients with severe mitral regurgitation."
Data from the CLASP IID pivotal trial, the first randomized controlled trial to directly compare two contemporary TEER therapies, will be presented as a late-breaking clinical science session on Sept. 17 at the 34th Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT), the annual scientific symposium of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation.
The PASCAL Precision system has CE Mark certification for the treatment of both mitral and tricuspid regurgitation. As part of Edwards' continued commitment to building a body of real-world evidence, patients receiving treatment with the PASCAL Precision system in the US will be enrolled in the TVT registry for five years.
The PASCAL Precision system is one of multiple transcatheter repair or replacement therapies in development by Edwards that are designed to address mitral and tricuspid valve disease, and the company's first such therapy approved for DMR in the US. Edwards is committed to transforming the treatment of mitral and tricuspid patients, supported by a robust body of clinical evidence. The commercial opportunity related to this approval is factored into 2022 financial expectations.
About TEER
Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER) of the mitral valve is used in the treatment of mitral regurgitation. TEER approximates the anterior and posterior mitral valve leaflets by grasping them with a clipping device in an approach similar to a treatment developed in cardiac surgery called the Alfieri stitch.

Edwards Lifesciences is the global leader of patient-focused innovations for structural heart disease and critical care monitoring. We are driven by a passion for patients, dedicated to improving and enhancing lives through partnerships with clinicians and stakeholders across the global healthcare landscape.

Generac Grid Services' Concerto™ platform to enable cost-savings for large facility owners while supporting power grid stability
DENVER, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Generac Grid Services, a subsidiary of Generac Power Systems (NYSE: GNRC), a leading designer and manufacturer of energy technology solutions and other power products, today announced that it has teamed with Pearlstone Energy Limited to provide energy management solutions to commercial and industrial facilities in the United Kingdom. Leveraging Generac Grid Services' Concerto™ software platform, Pearlstone Energy can provide its customers with cost savings, while also relieving strain on the U.K. power grid during periods of peak demand.
This achievement is the first phase of a multi-year joint initiative between the two companies to unlock value from commercial and industrial facilities' flexible capacity. Pearlstone will use Concerto to reduce demand at each customer facility during system peaks, typically during the coldest days of the year or when there is a need for providing equilibrium in the system. The program will enable Pearlstone's customers to participate in National Grid's flexibility initiatives in the U.K., help facilities avoid high network demand charges for power usage during periods of grid strain, and reward participants with potential cost-savings year-round.
"Our customers rely on us to optimize their facility's energy consumption," said Dr. Azad Camyab, founder and chief executive officer of Pearlstone Energy. "By leveraging Generac Grid Services' Concerto platform, we can help reduce facilities' demand when electricity prices are at their highest and assist our customers on their net-zero and carbon footprint-reduction journeys."
One of Pearlstone Energy's commercial customers has already integrated and migrated their systems to the Concerto platform.
"Generac Grid Services is thrilled to have entered the U.K. market with Pearlstone," said Jan Peter Moree, vice president of business development at Generac Grid Services. "Harnessing flexible capacity can provide a sustainable alternative to producing additional high-cost power. This program gives us the opportunity to help improve the stability and sustainability of the U.K. power grid, while delivering value to Pearlstone's customers."
In the coming months, Pearlstone and Generac Grid Services plan to enable additional revenue streams and savings for facility owners as electricity market prices continue to rise in the U.K. Pearlstone will leverage Concerto™ to bid its customers' flexible capacity into National Grid's short term operating reserve (STOR) and Distribution System Operator's (DSO) flexibility markets. Both companies look forward to jointly developing new, innovative solutions for Pearlstone's customer base.
Generac Grid Services is a subsidiary of Generac Power Systems (NYSE: GNRC), a leading designer and manufacturer of energy technology solutions and other power products. Generac Grid Services is working to change the way the world generates and uses electricity. From turnkey solar + storage solutions, to backup generators, additional distributed energy resources and virtual power plant software, Generac Grid Services is helping to accelerate the world's transition to a cleaner, more reliable power grid. Via the company's energy-balancing platform, power generation and storage products that might otherwise sit idle are now able to be dispatched and orchestrated as part of a distributed energy solution, thereby generating value for the home or business owner, while also delivering value to the energy grid.
Pearlstone is a recognized and approved commercial aggregator by the UK's National Grid and a leading innovator in Demand Side Response (DSR) technology. Simply put, Pearlstone has license to create real value for U.K. businesses by finding the hidden asset in every building, its energy flexibility, and monetizing it. Our commercial and industrial clients will receive a new revenue stream by enabling them to sell the energy they don't need at certain times, for short periods, and which they currently can't sell on their own.
Pearlstone's offering will be the catalyst for businesses of all shapes and sizes to take advantage of DSR to help U.K. PLC and the National Grid to reach its Demand Side Flexibility and net-zero emission goals and targets.

Agreement Supports GlobalX Charter Operations of Short Distance Regional Flights: Electric Flight Coming to Florida, the Bahamas and Select Caribbean Destinations
MIAMI and ARLINGTON, Wash., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Eviation Aircraft, a manufacturer of all-electric aircraft, today announced that Global Crossing Airlines Group, Inc. (JET: NEO) (JET.B: NEO) (JETMF: OTCQB) (or "GlobalX"), a Miami-based provider of passenger and cargo charter jets, has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) ordering 50 all-electric commuter Alice aircraft. The aircraft will open up new routes for passenger travel in GlobalX's key markets in Florida, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean, supporting the airline's plan to adopt carbon-free and sustainable technologies.
Alice is a nine-passenger electric aircraft offering a premium passenger experience. The aircraft, built from a clean-sheet design around all-electric propulsion, produces no carbon emissions, significantly reduces noise, and costs a fraction to operate per flight hour compared to light jets or high-end turboprops. Alice is powered by two magni650 electric propulsion units by magniX, which is the global industry leader in flight-proven electric propulsion systems at this scale.
GlobalX began passenger operations in August 2021 and operates seven A320 family aircraft serving the U.S., Caribbean, and Latin America. It also has 15 A321 freighter aircraft under lease agreements and will commence cargo operations in Q4 2022. Alice will enable GlobalX to introduce new, sustainable flight options for growing markets including Miami, Orlando and the Bahamas. GlobalX expects to take delivery of its initial Alice aircraft in 2027, and is evaluating the cargo aircraft variant of Alice for supporting its cargo customer base.
"Charter travel is attractive to both individuals and groups as it offers flexibility, privacy and convenience. Alice represents a pioneering approach to making this type of aviation sustainable for generations to come," said Eviation President Gregory Davis. "We are delighted to enter this agreement with GlobalX, whose investment in zero-emissions flight demonstrates the airline's commitment to cleaner skies, lower operational costs, and the provision of the most innovative options for air travel. Quieter, smoother and with a cabin design that defines the future, the in-flight experience aboard the Alice will offer GlobalX passengers a new way to fly."
"Eviation's Alice aircraft is setting the standard in sustainable aviation, and we plan to offer the aircraft to our cruise line, tour operators, leisure travel providers, and business clients with a need for short-haul charter flights across Florida," said Ed Wegel, Chair and CEO of GlobalX. "The Alice aircraft will allow us to offer sustainable, regional flights to and from major markets, and is the first step in our initiative to be a zero-carbon emissions airline by 2050. We are proud to be a launch customer for Eviation and lead the charge in bringing carbon-free air travel to our passengers."
Based in Washington State, Eviation Aircraft Inc. develops and manufactures efficient electric aircraft to deliver a competitive and sustainable solution for the regional mobility of people and goods. Its electric propulsion units, high-energy-density batteries, mission-driven energy management, and innovative airframe are designed from the ground up for electric flight.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On a mission to simplify the world of clinical skincare, Grammy Award-winning entertainer, philanthropist, and entrepreneur Ciara embarks on a new venture. Introduced today, OAM (On A Mission) is a line of clinical level skincare harnessing the radiance-boosting power of Vitamin C - developed, tested and proven for all skin tones and skin types. In addition to highly efficacious formulas, OAM has enlisted a diverse group of women for their Skincare Advisory Board to ensure they are delivering on their clinical promise.
Ciara's personal skin journey served as inspiration for the line. Through researching ingredients, seeing dermatologists, and trying different products, Ciara learned that clinical skincare can be transformative but also confusing. She set out to develop a simple clinical line that was made for all. Ensuring the needs of all skin tones were met, OAM went through clinical testing of all products on a diverse panel of 96 women covering every skin tone on the Fitzpatrick scale, something not typically done by brands.
OAM is collaborating with a panel of experts, all women who are influential and knowledgeable in the skincare space, as part of its Skincare Advisory Board. Included are board-certified dermatologist Dr. Tiffany Libby, MD, celebrity makeup artist Yolonda Frederick Thompson, MIT Chemical Engineer JC Johnson, and Maha, one of the chemists on the brand's research team. Together, this diverse group of women help bring different expert perspectives together as it relates to the world of skincare.
"With the creation of OAM, I was on a mission to make clinical skincare simple, for all. Clinical level products have given me the best results, but it's not a world that all people have access to. It can be overwhelming and confusing. I wanted to bring more awareness and accessibility to the power of clinical products, while making it simple. With our 4-layer system you know when and how to use the products - so everyone can level up their skin to maximize its truest potential," says Ciara.
As the Founder, Ciara had a hand in every step of the process - from the development of the formulas to personally testing the products, ensuring they were efficacious and offered the best experience. Ciara worked on formulation with a leading pharmaceutical skincare research lab with over 40 years of experience, which took 8 months of research and 18 months of development. All products are formulated with Vitamin C: a gold standard ingredient recommended by skincare professionals and a favorite of Ciara's. While this ingredient is known to work wonders on the skin, not all versions are created equal. Many are found to be irritating for sensitive skin.
OAM created their proprietary Tri-C Pro-Peptide Complex™ (after 11 variations), proven to be gentle and non-irritating for most skin types, even when used as a system. It's a proprietary blend of peptides and a trifecta of highly refined Vitamin C that penetrates every layer for more radiant and even skin. The complex's time-release delivery system distributes micro-doses of Vitamin C all day long so you experience the benefits long after application without the irritation often experienced from a single large, instantaneous dose. In addition, all OAM products feature highly efficacious formulas and pure, medical grade ingredients that are backed by science.
The line includes five products designed to illuminate your skin and is offered both individually and in systems based on a user's individual skincare journey. While they work even better as a regimen for enhanced benefits, the products are also efficacious individually. Every product in the OAM system is numbered, making it clear to consumers how to layer products and use as a full skincare routine.
- Vitamin C Hydrating Cleanser ($28) - gently removes impurities, makeup, and excess oils without stripping the skin.
- Vitamin C Brightening Pads ($28) - gently brightens, tones and preps skin for treatments while wiping away impurities.
- 20% Vitamin C Brightening Serum ($62) - helps target skin dullness and uneven tone, for a more radiant complexion.
- Vitamin C Eye Revitalizer ($35) - targets dark circles and visibly diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Vitamin C Radiance Moisturizer ($43) - provides hydration, strengthening the skin's natural barrier, while improving skin evenness.
All formulas are free of parabens, alcohol, sulfates, phthalates, fragrance, dye, pore-clogging oils, formaldehyde, and gluten.
The products are now available individually ($28-$62) or as bundles ($75-160) on oamskin.com. For every product purchased, a portion of sales goes towards the Why Not You Foundation. Co-founded by Ciara and her husband, Russell Wilson, the non-profit is dedicated to empowering youth to lead with a why not you attitude through education and wellness. For more information visit oamskin.com and @OAMskin on social media.
OAM offers clinical skincare made simple and made for all. Products are dermatologist tested and proven to work for all skin types and skin tones. Created by entrepreneur, producer, and artist Ciara, OAM stands for "On a Mission." OAM was created by Ciara to give everyone access to the power of clinical level products through a simplified routine that works, and is formulated and proven for all skin tones and types including sensitive skin. All products are formulated with the Tri-C Pro-Peptide Complex™, a proprietary blend of peptides and trifecta of highly refined Vitamin C.

Havas New York and Havas Chicago Creative Heads Dan Lucey and Myra Nussbaum Tackle the Industry's Biggest Issues
NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Today, Havas announced a new podcast called "Advertising Will Save Us," hosted by Dan Lucey, chief creative officer of Havas New York and Myra Nussbaum, president and chief creative officer of Havas Chicago. The new podcast series digs into some of the biggest criticisms of advertising and the industry as a whole with guests who share the common goal of challenging the status quo and taking the steps necessary to advance the world forward – culturally, socially, environmentally and creatively.
"Advertising has the power to change minds, inspire action, and open people's eyes to what's going on around them. It just has to be done the right way," said Nussbaum. "We launched this podcast series to learn from our peers, icons, and future leaders and share perspectives – no matter how uncomfortable they may be to digest, and have an honest dialogue about what we're doing right and wrong as an industry."
From adtech watchdogs to activists and marketing leaders alike, "Advertising Will Save Us" features unfiltered discussions with experts across a variety of industries to discuss the power advertising yields in making a meaningful difference for consumers. The podcast also highlights rising stars in the ad world who share their hopes and dreams for the future of the industry. In each episode, the hosts ask – "could advertising help save us after all?" while exploring critical issues and what needs to change in order to make the world we live in a better and safer place for all.
"For those of us in the industry, we know that advertising hasn't always had the best reputation for doing good in the world," said Lucey. "In fact, some ads have even negatively contributed to society. Despite this, we believe that no matter how incredulous it may sound, advertising can 'save us' because it can be used as a force for good and positively impact the lives of millions of people all over the world."
"Advertising Will Save Us" is produced in partnership with Intelligence Squared and features 30-minute conversations released weekly. Episodes cover a wide range of topics. Specifically, the first few episodes include:
- "Advertising Will Save Us from Soulless Design" – featuring Greg Hoffman, former chief marketing officer of Nike and author of 'Emotion by Design'

XIAMEN, China, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Focusing on LFP energy storage battery R&D and manufacturing, Xiamen Hithium Energy Storage Technology Co., Ltd. ("Hithium") has announced plans to unveil the company's latest battery product innovations at RE+ 2022 in Anaheim, USA. As the largest and most comprehensive event in North America for the clean energy industry, RE+ 2022 will be an opportunity for Hithium to show off its latest cutting-edge innovations, with a product launch on September 20th, at 2pm local time.
During the RE+ 2022, Hithium will showcase its full range of energy storage battery products, including two game-changing batteries: the 300Ah prismatic cell tailored for electric energy storage and the 46mm cylindrical cell for residential energy storage with breakthroughs in safety, energy efficiency, cycle life and cost.
Regarding the new product release at RE+ 2022, Scott Wang, Sales Director of Hithium Overseas Market, said, "This important event will mark the first step in our overseas development plans.

As prices of rare minerals needed in the manufacturing of batteries such as lithium and cobalt continue to rise, technological breakthroughs in terms of efficiency and longevity prove invaluable. Hithium is actively researching and developing methods by improving battery effectiveness and lifespan, ultimately extracting more value than currently possible.
RE+ 2022 will be the company's first major stop on its international roadmap, reflecting the executives' opinions on growing trends in the global energy storage market and expectations for the exhibition. Throughout the event, Hithium will be demonstrating its primary range of product solutions and underlying technologies, and will actively be seeking to connect with local partners to explore potential cooperation.
Hithium will showcase its new range of LFP energy storage solutions at RE+ 2022: Solar Power International and Energy Storage International, booth 2456 in Anaheim, CA from 9.20-9.22.

BEIJING, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- JA Solar has received the highest possible AAA rating on September 13 when PV Tech released its PV ModuleTech Bankability Rankings for the third quarter of 2022. The list saw JA Solar's leading manufacturing advantages and solid financial position reflected in key indicators such as shipments, capacity layout, technology layout, and financial performance. According to the report, JA Solar is one of the most consistent A-grade suppliers in terms of all the key metrics for the period 2014 to 2022.
Steady and balanced business development across the globe
On August 26, JA Solar released its 2022 semi-annual report, which shows JA Solar's overseas shipments accounted for 67% in the first half of 2022. In recent years, JA Solar has continued to steadily expand its international reach, with overseas shipments consistently contributing 60% to 70% of total shipments. JA Solar has now established complete industrial chains at home and abroad respectively based on its 12 manufacturing bases around the world, providing strong capacity support for its shipments to global markets.
JA Solar's global market share reached 14% in 2021. Specifically, its share in established markets continued rising, including Europe at approximately 18% and China at approximately 19%; in emerging markets, JA Solar's share in 2021 scaled to a record high of 46% in Pakistan, 58% in Malaysia and approximately 40% in Israel. Moreover, it has also found new outlets such as Guyana in South America, Sierra Leone in Africa, Tahiti in Oceania, and Uzbekistan in Central Asia, contributing to steady business development across the globe. As indicated in the PV ModuleTech report, JA Solar will become more competitive in the US market with the advancement of its global production layout.
A step ahead in technology-driven development
JA Solar has kept increasing its investment in scientific research to meet the evolving market demand and promote the technological iteration and upgrade of the industry. As of the first half of 2022, JA Solar had been granted 1,178 patents for independent research and development. The average conversion efficiency of its mass-produced Percium cells has reached 23.7% and that of n-type cells has reached 25%.

In May 2022, JA Solar launched the n-type cell-based DeepBlue 4.0 X module, which boasts a cell conversion efficiency of 25% and a maximum power of 625W. Compared with mainstream p-type modules, DeepBlue 4.0 X can reduce balance of system (BoS) costs by up to around 2.1% and levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) costs by 3.5%-5%, which can further increase the profitability of projects and create greater value for customers. JA Solar's n-type cell capacity is expected to exceed 27GW by 2023, making it one of the first enterprises to develop n-type cells and put them into production.
JA Solar is also promoting intelligent manufacturing by accelerating digital transformation.

The first brand to offer the power of Krill Oil Omega-3s in a delightful gummy format
NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kori Krill Oil, the superior Omega-3 supplement and nutritional powerhouse packed with Omega-3s and antioxidants to support overall body health, introduces Kori Krill Oil Gummies – the first Krill Oil gummy that delivers Omega-3s in its most natural phospholipid form for superior absorption. This breakthrough multi-benefit Omega-3 supplement supports heart, brain, joint, eyes, skin and immune health and is now available in a tasty chewable natural mixed citrus flavor.
The launch of Kori Krill Oil Gummies opens a pathway for more consumers to reap the superior benefits of krill oil for overall health, breaking the barrier to entry for those who do not prefer to swallow pills. A consumer research report published in 2020 found that younger consumers prefer consuming gummy vitamins over pills due to factors such as busier lifestyles, rising disposable incomes, growing awareness regarding preventive healthcare measures, and maintaining better health.
"The overall health benefits that krill oil can provide to the body are extraordinary, and there's no reason someone should miss out on this superior nutrient intake because they don't like to swallow pills or are already taking too many," said Nancy Chan, CEO of Epion Brands, the maker of Kori Krill Oil. "As we continue to introduce innovative products, we strive to make health simple by helping our consumers reach their nutrition goals with an alternative Omega-3 product that makes taking daily supplements easy and enjoyable. Gummies are a beloved format in supplements and certainly there are Omega-3 gummies available today made from fish oil. This is the first gummy developed with powerful 100% Antarctic krill oil. We're excited to be the first to crack the code on balancing the natural properties of a marine based ingredient with the right taste profile so that we can provide both utility and enjoyment that consumers expect from gummies."
The Kori Krill Oil Gummies are made from certified sustainable non-GMO krill oil, have no artificial flavor or coloring, and contain 125MG of krill oil per 2 gummies. Retailing for $14.99, there are 120 gummies per bottle. Available now on Amazon, korikrilloil.com, and in retail stores like Rite Aid. To learn more, visit https://shop.korikrilloil.com/products/new-omega-3-gummies-120-ct.
Kori Pure Antarctic Krill Oil is a superior multi-benefit Omega-3 supplement from the world's #1 maker of krill oil. It's our mission to bring the world healthier solutions from pure and powerful Antarctic krill. Kori Krill Oil delivers Omega-3s in its most natural phospholipid form for superior absorption with no fishy aftertaste and naturally contains more nutrients in addition to essential Omega-3s, including choline and antioxidant astaxanthin. Kori Krill Oil is Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified sustainable and the krill fishery is the only reduction fishery to earn an "A" rating 7 years running from the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership. Kori Krill Oil is available nationwide at major retailers including Walmart, CVS, Costco, Sam's Club and more in the supplement section and online at amazon and www.korikrilloil.com

ARDEN HILLS, Minn., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Truterra, LLC, the sustainability business of Land O'Lakes, Inc., one of America's largest farmer-owned cooperatives, and American Farmland Trust (AFT), a nonprofit focused on farmland protection and stewardship, along with additional industry, non-profit and food and agriculture company grant partners and supporters, today announced their successful bid for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities.
In a highly competitive application process, Truterra and AFT's Climate SMART (Scaling Mechanisms for Agriculture's Regenerative Transformation) pilot project distinguished itself with in-depth experience in production agriculture, access to infrastructure to scale rapidly due to industry-leading access to farmers across the country, the trust that grant partners have already built through 225 years of collective experience working side by side with farmers, and a pragmatic approach to connecting pieces of the puzzle that already exist to help shape a more self-sustaining ecosystem. As a result, the pilot project intends to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by approximately 7.2 million metric tons of CO2e over the course of five years – roughly the equivalent of taking 1.5 million cars off the road for a year.1
"Land O'Lakes, along with AFT and other grant partners, is ready to tackle what is fundamentally a connection problem in the current climate-smart commodities market. We want to close those gaps by creating a self-sustaining ecosystem that connects farmers already doing incredible work to support sustainability on their operations with the food and agriculture companies looking to buy those products, all while addressing cost, risk and knowledge barriers to regenerative agriculture practice adoption," said Land O'Lakes President and CEO Beth Ford. "As a farmer-owned cooperative, I see tremendous opportunity for Land O'Lakes member-owners and local retail agriculture businesses to lead development and scaling of this new market – and be rewarded for their stewardship while future-proofing their businesses for the long-term."
"Through Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities, USDA is delivering on our promise to build and expand market opportunities for American agriculture and be global leaders in climate-smart agricultural production," said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "I'm glad to have the opportunity to join stakeholders involved in the project led by Truterra, the sustainability business of Land O'Lakes, to highlight our strong partnership in increasing the competitive advantage of U.S. agriculture, building wealth that stays in rural communities and supporting new revenue streams for America's climate-smart producers."
"American Farmland Trust is thrilled to join forces with Truterra to scale up climate-smart practices across this nation's agricultural lands, creating economic and resilience benefits for farmers and ranchers and environmental benefits for society and the planet," said Beth Sauerhaft, AFT Vice President of National Programs. "AFT brings its expertise in advanced soil health assessment and training, identifying and overcoming barriers to adoption, building capacity through training of trusted advisors and peer-to-peer network learning, analyzing success of economic incentives and identifying the social aspects of broad adoption, including by underserved diverse farmers who are so critical to this nation's agriculture. We look forward to collaborating to scale up on-farm adoption of soil health management systems, packaging pilot program outcomes for broader public consumption and in particular delivering culturally appropriate materials to underserved audiences."
"This is a great opportunity to work with small acreage farmers to ensure they'll be able to participate effectively in climate-smart agriculture and build more sustainable and resilient operations," said Ebonie Alexander, Executive Director, Black Family Land Trust.
"We feel very fortunate to have this opportunity to work with Truterra and so many organizations in bringing on-farm and environmental benefits of regenerative soil health systems to scale," said Dr. Wayne Honeycutt, President and CEO of the Soil Health Institute (SHI). "Through this project we will establish Soil Health Targets to quantify baselines and achievable levels of soil health and carbon, allowing educators and advisors to support a farmer's journey to producing climate-smart commodities with enhanced market opportunities."
Leveraging the unparalleled reach of the Land O'Lakes cooperative network, AFT and other grant partners and supporters, the pilot project seeks to engage up to 20,000 farmers and dairy producers and impact more than 7 million acres, with a focus on reaching historically underserved farmers.
Ag retailers will play a central role in the pilot project, working with grant partners to incent farmers to adopt regenerative agriculture practices, including helping match farmers with incentives, agronomic advice, peer-to-peer networks, data entry support and more to support improved soil health systems. Grant partners will deploy existing digital infrastructure, including the Truterra sustainability tool, to aid in measuring impact and supporting validation and quantification processes.
The pilot project will use initial funding from USDA and matching funds from grant partners to help incentivize practice changes. Over time, the partners intend for the project to become self-funding through the sale of climate-smart commodities and ecosystem credits to downstream buyers, some of which will be, in turn, reinvested in delivering technical assistance to farmers to support additional practice changes.
Additional partners and supporters include: Ag Gateway, Biofiltro, Continuum Ag, ESRI, Equilibrium Capital, Farmobile, FarmRaise, John Deere, La Crosse Seed, Macquarie, Microsoft, Northern Star Seed, Sound Ag, Strand Gard Stewardship, WinField United, Black Family Land Trust, Farm Credit Council, Federation of Southern Cooperatives, Minorities in Ag, Natural Res. & Related Sciences, Soil Health Institute, ButcherBox, Campbell Soup Company, Green Plains, The Hershey Company, Land O'Lakes Dairy Foods, Nestlé Purina Pet Care, Purina Animal Nutrition, Perdue, Primient, Tate & Lyle, Perennial, Colorado State Univ., SustainCERT and 50 ag retail cooperatives.
As work begins, the project will be actively seeking new prospective partners on two fronts: private sector buyers of supply-shed interventions for food, fuel and fiber, as well as carbon offsets and farmers interested in developing and marketing climate-smart commodities. Reach out to info@truterraag.com or your local ag retailer to learn more.

Synkrato adds label template creation, management, and printing capabilities to its cloud logistics platform.
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Synkrato, the next-gen logistics solution with digital twins, warehouse slotting and optimization, mobility, and IoT, announced today the incorporation of Cloud Label Service enterprise label management into its platform. The addition enhances Synkrato as a single system to manage end-to-end logistics processes by adding label template management capabilities.
Adding Cloud Label Service furthers Synkrato's mission to offer an adaptive, collaborative, and automated logistics solution to meet the demands of today's complex supply chains. With multi-touch supply chains where each product passes through many hands until it arrives at the final user, Synkrato adds label-management capabilities to support product traceability through correct, accurate labeling.
"We are committed to offering a comprehensive solution to make supply chains reliable, resilient, and scalable. Labeling keeps all supply chain parts moving by tracking, locating, and identifying products throughout the supply chain. It made perfect sense to incorporate enterprise label management into the Synkrato logistics platform," said Amin Sikander, Synkrato president.
The addition of labeling empowers companies to manage label templates — without needing to write any code — from a single platform. Synkrato lets supply chain professionals make label template changes without IT assistance. Companies will be able to create and validate labels, reducing response time to label requirements and changes, crucial for companies where a product delay due to incorrect labeling could damage the product or the end user.
Jason Mancuso, Synkrato product director, said "Our intent is always to simplify complex tasks. Label template owners can log in and make changes without relying on the IT department and share templates with suppliers in just a few clicks. This feature is advantageous for companies with different label versions, long label-revision processes, or short delivery timelines."
In addition, Synkrato enterprise labeling provides automated label printing. The platform can be integrated with any source system, including SCM, WMS, MES, PLM, and ERP, to automatically print labels based on business transactions. Mancuso continued, "the robust rules engine can be configured to manage complex serialization, dates, and text formatting needs, and it ensures that label data is matched with the right label template and printed at the correct location and printer."
Cloud Label Service incorporation also supports the current mobile application, one of Synkrato's core functionalities, opening new possibilities for small and mid-sized companies without robust warehouse management systems. Synkrato's mobile app removes the need to log into a system, access a label template, and enter the information to print it. The mobile app can be used to scan an item and choose a label template — for example, item, PO, or LPN labels — add the corresponding data, and print it.
Synkrato is exhibiting at LabelExpo Americas 2022 this week in Chicago where it will showcase Cloud Label Service as part of Synkrato for the first time.

- The Racial Equity at Work Certification Program now has nearly 100 commitments from industry-leading employers who drive substantive change with real workplace results.
- Hispanic Equity at Work and Black Equity at Work, under the Racial Equity Certification Program, provide Corporate America with the most comprehensive roadmap toward achieving an inclusive and equitable work environment.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT) announced the next chapter of the Racial Equity at Work Certification Programs—MLT Hispanic Equity at Work—which establishes a measurable standard for what it means to be a racially equitable employer for the Hispanic community. The Certification aims to bring to light inequities and provide a roadmap to achieving Hispanic equity in the workplace by adopting the rigorous components of the Black Equity at Work program while integrating the key systematic disadvantages Hispanics face.
Becoming MLT Hispanic Equity at Work Certified requires employers to commit to developing a comprehensive plan and making measurable progress toward achieving Hispanic equity internally and contributing to Hispanic equity in society. We are proud to announce today our initial launch employers in this effort: Accenture, Bain Capital, BCG, BlackRock, Capital Group, Comcast NBCUniversal, CoStar, DaVita, Deloitte, Eli Lilly, Ernst & Young LLP (EY US), FactSet, Sodexo, State Street, T. Rowe Price, Target, and Walker & Dunlop.
"We launched MLT's Black Equity at Work Certification two years ago with nearly 100 committed employers who have seen real results. We believe now is the time to expand and adapt the Racial Equity at Work Certification concept to our Hispanic stakeholders," said John Rice, Founder and CEO of MLT. "With more than two-thousand Hispanic MLT alumni and a proven track record of helping Hispanic professionals navigate Corporate America, we are leveraging our Hispanic equity expertise and first-class certification framework to help companies achieve a racially equitable workplace."
The Certification, which has been carefully developed to meet the needs of the Hispanic community, is specifically focused on facilitating racial justice outcomes by updating representation targets to more accurately align with the Hispanic population. Additionally, the Certification recommends practices tailored toward supporting Hispanic-owned vendors, suppliers, and identifying organizations to financially support that advance equity.
This Certificate differs meaningfully from other initiatives by focusing on Hispanic equity, not general DEI, and by setting clear, measurable standards for what Hispanic equity looks like in an organization. Both of these are critical to achieving sustainable impact in a company and the communities in which the company operates.
The Certification provides a path for companies to make significant progress towards Hispanic equity by focusing on five core pillars:
- Representation at every level
- Compensation equity
- Workplace culture
- Business practices
- Contributions and investments
In agreeing to the certification process, launch employers are committing to developing a clear, robust, and comprehensive three-year racial equity plan that addresses Hispanic employees and continuing to hold themselves accountable to making significant and measurable progress.

Check Your Chart™ Action Initiative Empowers Women to Take Charge of Their Breast Cancer Screening – Delivering Key Information to Improve Patient-Doctor Communication
HAWTHORN WOODS, Ill., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Awareness is good, but action is essential.
Breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in women, and over 70% of breast cancers are in women with dense breasts. Unfortunately, most people do not know their level of density, and are unaware of "how" to improve their chances of earlier diagnosis.
My Density Matters is addressing the "how" for earlier diagnosis with an initiative to move from awareness to education to action. This Check Your Chart™ initiative empowers women to obtain their mammogram report from their online patient portal, learn their breast density, communicate with their doctor(s) about the results, and collaborate on additional screening options to find cancer earlier by providing tools for more informed conversations.
"I was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer two months after an "all clear" mammogram and ultrasound, it was hidden in dense breast tissue," said Leslie Ferris Yerger, Founder of My Density Matters, "Most women think an 'all-clear' mammogram means they don't have breast cancer, which might not be true, especially if you have dense breasts. What it does mean is that no cancer was found, not necessarily that no cancer was present. Knowing your density opens up a better conversation with your doctor about your breast screening options."
There is no cure for stage IV breast cancer, but Leslie feels fortunate to remain in full remission. It has inspired her to offer programs through My Density Matters in order to inform women about the implications of breast density.
By texting the words: Check Your Chart to 211411, access to tools and information will be delivered directly to your cell phone. This level of accessibility will improve health equity by removing some of the barriers that exist for people who do not have computer access.
Together with Medical Advisors, partners at the National Consortium of Breast Centers (NCBC), Breast Cancer Wellness Magazine, and GenusConnect, the tools and information are now easy to access and understand.
The Check Your Chart website provides a simplified flow of information a person needs before and after their mammogram. A collection of instructional videos and downloads can be delivered on a phone, computer or tablet.
Collaboration is key - if you are interested in partnering with My Density Matters please contact Susan LePlae Miller, VP of Partnerships and Programs, at susan@mydensitymatters.org.
My Density Matters is a 501(c)(3) non-profit with the mission to empower women to find out their breast density, learn their options, and take control of their breast cancer screening. Their work is supported by donations from Foglia Family Foundation, CMR Naviscan, Delphinus Medical Technologies, Seno Medical, and the community. Visit mydensitymatters.org for more information.

- Available to treat adults with locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with an FGFR2 fusion or rearrangement
- PEMAZYRE® (pemigatinib) is available via a co-pay access program in Australia
SINGAPORE, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A NEW targeted therapy to treat a rare bile duct cancer called cholangiocarcinoma has been approved for use in Australia.
PEMAZYRE® (pemigatinib) has been provisionally approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) "for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with a fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) fusion or rearrangement that has progressed after at least one prior line of systemic therapy. The decision to approve this indication has been made on the basis of overall response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR). Continued approval of this indication depends on verification and description of benefit in confirmatory trial(s)." 1
This means it will be available to Australian patients with cholangiocarcinoma who have been tested for an abnormal gene change in their tumour called an FGFR2 fusion or rearrangement – a defect that can drive cancer growth.
This defect is estimated to be present in around 15% of patients diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma.2
Australian oncologist Dr David Goldstein said the approval of PEMAZYRE was "a significant step forward" for Australian patients who are diagnosed with this rare and aggressive cancer.
He commented: "This TGA approval of a targeted therapy heralds an era of precision medicine in this rare cancer.
"The study underpinning this approval, FIGHT 202, saw clinical outcomes you would not expect from previous experience after initial treatment ceases to be effective.
"This is one of only a few second-line therapies to offer serious real benefits to patients and will be very focused upon the right tumour type.
"Up until now, we have had some chemotherapies that were effective, but only in a minority of patients.
"This TGA approval is a positive first step. Subsequent reimbursement via the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme is really the only way forward to translate this scientific knowledge of targeting a specific tumour type into everyday clinical practice."
PEMAZYRE, developed by Incyte (NASDAQ:INCY) and partnered with independent pharmaceutical company Specialised Therapeutics (ST) for commercialisation in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore, belongs to a class of drugs called kinase inhibitors and works by blocking the abnormal FGFR2 protein in bile duct tumour cells and preventing cell growth.
The TGA approval follows PEMAZYRE's approval in the United States, Europe, Great Britain, Canada and Japan.
While PEMAZYRE is not yet reimbursed in Australia, it is currently being made available to eligible patients via a co-pay access program.
ST CEO Carlo Montagner said PEMAZYRE was a "wonderful inclusion" to the company's portfolio of rare cancer therapies and was synergistic with its mission of providing therapies to patient populations where there is a high unmet medical need.
He said: "We look forward to providing this new highly-targeted treatment to eligible patients with cholangiocarcinoma who have limited therapy options."
PEMAZYRE's approval is based on a clinical trial known as the FIGHT-202 study – a Phase 2 investigation evaluating the safety and efficacy of PEMZYRE in adult patients with previously treated, locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with documented FGFR2 fusion or rearrangement. 2
In the primary analysis of 108 patients enrolled in the trial, treatment with PEMAZYRE resulted in an objective response rate of 37% with 3.7% of patients having a confirmed complete response and 33.3% having a confirmed partial response. The disease control rate was 82.2%.1
The safety analysis, including 147 patients, demonstrated that PEMAZYRE was generally well tolerated.
The most common adverse reactions were hyperphosphataemia: includes hyperphosphataemia and increased blood phosphorous (60.5%), alopecia (49.7%), diarrhoea (46.9%), nail toxicity (44.9%), fatigue (43.5%), nausea (41.5%), dysgeusia (40.8%), stomatitis (37.4%), constipation (36.7%), dry mouth (34.0%), dry eye (27.9%), arthralgia (25.9%), hypophosphataemia (23.1%), dry skin (21.8%) and palmar-plantar erythrodysaesthesia syndrome (16.3%).1
Ends.

Leading Infrared Sauna Franchise Clears Path for 2023 Expansion in New Regional Markets
COSTA MESA, Calif., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Perspire Sauna Studio, a leading national infrared and red light therapy (RLT) sauna franchise brand, is preparing to make its debut in the Northeastern region of the U.S. following their newly announced 3-unit franchise agreement for Bergen County, New Jersey. This expansion stems from the desire of Jennifer and Josh Feliciano, area natives and the franchisees in mention, to introduce the franchise brand, its unique experience, and the variety of health benefits that come with it to residents throughout the market.
Having enjoyed a successful career as a Mortgage Loan Officer for The Bank of New York, MetLife, and AAG over the span of 25 years, Jennifer had never entertained the idea of leaving her role within the industry. That is until the pandemic arrived, redirecting her focus to her own health and wellbeing, as well as that of her community. Alongside her husband, the Felicianos began exploring what possibilities existed within the health and wellness space that would allow Jennifer to leave her corporate position and afford residents of Bergen County with a new means of personalized wellness. Soon after, they discovered Perspire Sauna Studio and began researching opportunities within the emerging brand.
"Our investment into the Perspire franchise was prompted by more than its world-class studio experience. The main motivation came from the science behind the brand," said Jennifer Feliciano. "Infrared and red light sauna treatments are able to address physical and mental ailments that span all age groups and demographics of people. In short, it's a brand that's equipped to address the everyday health concerns we all experience on a daily basis, which is perhaps its most intriguing quality."
The wellness routines of men and women nationwide have proven resilient in the face of rising consumer costs within seemingly all economic sectors. Accounting for the expansion that the Perspire Sauna Studio brand has been able to maintain over the course of 2022 thus far. This may be the brands first foray into New Jersey, but the Feliciano's anticipate a welcomed reception from their community. Enough so that additional studio locations are already being envisioned down the road.
"2022 has been a record-breaking year of growth and development for the franchise. And the opportunities we have available for prospects to invest in untapped markets nationwide has been and will continue to be critical to keeping that going," said Lee Braun, Founder/CEO of Perspire Sauna Studio.
Perspire Sauna Studio is currently seeking single-unit and multi-unit franchisees interested in new career opportunities or those looking to diversify their current portfolios. Combined with the 49 franchises awarded year-to-date, Perspire has awarded 103 franchise agreements with 27 studios currently open.
To learn more about Perspire Sauna Studio and franchising opportunities, please visit https://www.perspiresaunastudio.com/franchise.
Perspire Sauna Studio is the fastest-growing infrared sauna and red light therapy franchise in the U.S. The science-based, technology-driven, and wellness-seeking company provides guests a modern-day experience to a centuries-old practice, allowing their body and mind to feel refreshed after each session. Founded and led by CEO Lee Braun, Perspire's goal is to expand to major markets throughout the U.S. to further instill its vision of making infrared wellness accessible to all. The franchise having just recently awarded its 100th franchise agreement for future Perspire studios.
Founded in 2010 and based in Southern California, Perspire Sauna Studio currently offers franchise opportunities to qualifying entrepreneurs.

The 24/7 Automated Pizzeria Concept will be featured in a 'Kitchen of the Future' Demo
TORONTO, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- PizzaForno, one of North America's only automated pizzerias that bakes artisanal pizzas in less than three minutes, has announced its participation in the virtual Kraft Heinz Foodovation event on September 20th, 2022, a day that also marks National Pepperoni Pizza Day.
The highly-anticipated foodservice industry event will share the latest innovations in restaurant automation, explore global trends, and demonstrate new technologies that are rapidly emerging as useful tools for hospitality leaders solving labor shortages, rising costs, and unreliable supply chains.
Key speakers include Kathryn Fenner of Technomic, who will address the state of the foodservice industry, and Mike Kostyo of Datassential, who will discuss current top food trends.
The event will feature "culinary breakouts," where the Kraft Heinz culinary team will showcase new products and techniques. One of them will feature a traditional present-day restaurant contrasted against a restaurant of the future, to reveal how the industry is evolving and embracing new technologies, including automated pizzerias from PizzaForno during a 'kitchen of the future' demo, rapid cook and microwave ovens, sous vide cooking, and POS ordering systems.
"PizzaForno offers high ROI and has the ability to operate 24/7 with zero on-site labor costs," said Les Tomlin, Co-Founder and President of PizzaForno. "We're thrilled to be able to showcase how our revolutionary automated pizzerias are solving problems and paving the way for a better future."

As volume demands, each unit can hold up to 70 fully prepared pre-boxed pizzas made fresh in the U.S. and replenished frequently. As soon as the customer selects their preferred menu item, the state-of-the-art oven gives the customer the option to Take-n-Bake or bake the 12" premium artisan pizza in under three minutes.

Keenz Delivers Trade-In Program, Joining the Resale Revolution with Rebelstork
NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Rebelstork, the only AI-powered marketplace for shopping and selling new and used baby gear, announced Keenz, home of the original stroller wagon, as an additional partner to join their proprietary B2B software as a service (SAAS) – The ReLuvable™ Collective. The newest full-priced brand to foray into the re-commerce space, the beloved stroller wagon brand will now make it easier for consumers to trade in their gently-used models and upgrade as their families grow. Rebelstork's mission is to create a better circular economy for the baby gear industry and to continue building their flock of new brand and retail partners to join them in their resale revolution.
The baby gear industry is notoriously a legacy industry – as families quickly cycle through gear faster than they can break it in, producing an overwhelming amount of unwanted items in landfills every year. As Keenz continues to support growing families through new models and wagons to seat two or four children, joining The ReLuvable Collective™ showcases the brand's embrace of the resale movement. Keenz customers are now able to access the platform and trade-in opportunities at www.keenz.us/pages/rebelstork.
Since The ReLuvable Collective™ launched last year, Rebelstork is proud to have partnered with Babesta, Hudson's Bay, Monti Kids and now Keenz. Through Rebelstork's ReLuvable™ Collective, brands and retailers are able to give high-quality, gently-used and safety-compliant gear a second life, while offering great value to customers. This proven process already in the making, Rebelstork has already saved over 80,000 items from landfills, and counting.
"I strongly believe all partnerships must be win-win and am excited that the Keenz x Rebelstork partnership is a win for each of our companies, for parents, and the environment," said Janelle Fitzpatrick, CEO Keenz. "Rebelstork's trade-in program helps extend the life of each Keenz Stroller Wagon, makes it easier for Keenz families to upgrade to a new model, and allows more families to experience for themselves how our wagons make outings with kids easier."
"Announcing Keenz as our newest partner with The ReLuvable Collective™ is the perfect example of why this platform exists in the first place. As families grow, their needs change and so does their gear," notes Emily Hosie, founder and CEO of Rebelstork. "Watching more brands and retailers join us in changing how we consume gear proves that the resale movement is growing across all retail verticals! Parents are looking for ways to shop and sell gently-used gear at fair market prices and we are proud to be a tech powered and credible option. The ReLuvable Collective™ is making the shift into resale for existing brands and customers, easier than ever."

1Password research reveals 43% of employees admit to risky online behavior to avoid login hassles
TORONTO, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- 1Password, the leader in human-centric security and privacy, today released its Unlocking the Login Challenge report. Based on a survey of 2,000 North American adults, the research explores how login fatigue compromises employee productivity, security and mental health, frustrating workers and putting essential data at risk.
Accessing work applications is a significant drain on employees, with widespread repercussions for companies. Forty-four percent of employees report that simply logging in and out of apps at work harms their mood or reduces productivity. Worryingly, more than two in five (43%) employees admit to dangerous online behaviors such as sharing logins, offloading tasks to others, or even abandoning certain tasks altogether to circumvent complicated login procedures.
"When it comes to security, organizations say, 'Follow these guidelines,' then they add more rules every time something goes wrong. But every new rule creates new friction for employees, which acts as a bar on full productivity," said Dr. Karen Renaud, human-centric security expert and Chancellor's Fellow and Faculty Member at University of Strathclyde. "This research confirms the serious toll that this friction is taking on employee well-being and, as a result, on organizations' security. Security has become such an onerous and arduous task that people don't even want to log in – that's a significant problem."
Cumbersome passwords and authentication requirements are much more than an annoyance. Four in ten employees (41%) say having to remember multiple logins heightens stress levels and strains mental health.
- Falling behind on day one: More than a third of employees (37%) say that the onboarding process at their current job was time-consuming, confusing or challenging when it came to logging into work-related accounts.
- Benefits breakdown: Complex logins have kept nearly one in five (19%) workers from accessing employee-provided benefits designed to reduce workplace stress. They've skipped open enrollment, forgone requesting time off, and missed employer-provided perks and discount marketplaces because of login challenges.
Complex login processes meant to enhance company performance are in many situations accomplishing the opposite, an ironic turn of events that's putting companies at risk and harming productivity. When facing onerous security requirements, employees accustomed to easy-to-use technology are simply waving the white flag on core parts of their job.
- Incomplete work product: More than a quarter of employees (26%) have given up on conducting a work task to avoid the hassle of logging in.
- Missing meetings: Nearly two-thirds of employees (62%) miss more than 10 hours of meetings per year due to login issues.
- Skipping security: Nearly 2 in 5 employees (38%) have procrastinated, delegated or skipped setting up new work security apps because of burdensome login processes.
Today's employees have a healthy concern for cybersecurity risks, with 61% fearing they are more likely to be hacked now than they were a year ago due to their heightened online presence. Despite this elevated awareness, widespread confusion over best practices is putting companies at greater risk.
- Blurring work and home boundaries: Nearly half of employees (45%) use their personal email, LinkedIn, Facebook or other personal account for single sign-on at work. This puts companies at risk because they are unable to monitor these accounts for security risks or ensure that best security practices are being followed.
- Perplexed by passwords: More than a quarter of employees (27%) – and 41% of leaders at the level of vice president and above—think there's no difference between single sign-on and reusing the same password across multiple platforms. In fact, the two are almost polar opposites – reusing passwords dramatically increases exposure to hackers, while single sign-on is specifically designed to boost security by reducing the number of entry points that need to be secured.
"Modern companies are grappling with the unintended consequences of complex login processes. Although they were designed to protect us, they are in many cases creating more stress, elevating risk and hurting the bottom line," said Jeff Shiner, CEO of 1Password. "This report is a wakeup call that it's time to invest in human-centric security that's as easy to use as the workplace and personal apps we rely on every day."

1Password's human-centric approach to security keeps people safe, at work and at home. Our solution is built from the ground up to enable anyone – no matter the level of technical proficiency – to navigate the digital world without fear or friction. The company's award-winning credentials management security platform is re-shaping the future of authentication and is trusted by over 100,000 businesses, including IBM, Slack, Snowflake, Shopify and Under Armour. 1Password protects the most sensitive information of millions of individuals and families across the globe, helping consumers and businesses get more done in less time – with security and privacy as a given.

1Password conducted this research using an online survey prepared by Method Research and distributed by Lucid among n=2,000 adults 18+ who are full-time employees at a company with 250+ employees and primarily use a computer for work. The sample consisted of n=1,500 U.S. respondents and n=500 Canadian respondents, with an even split between gender groups. Data was collected from June 7 to June 21, 2022.

The brand's newest lifestyle sneaker, accompanied by the Scarf by Saysh, is designed for the female foot, setting a new standard of support, comfort and style for the everyday task & woman
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Saysh, the community-centered lifestyle brand co-founded by Olympian Allyson Felix and her brother and business partner Wes Felix, today announced the launch of its premium, versatile sneaker, Saysh Two, in addition to the Scarf by Saysh for complementary wear. Featuring vibrant and whimsical colorways, Saysh Two and the Scarf by Saysh are designed to be admired – as is the strength of the women wearing it. The newest products will be available online at Saysh.com beginning today and will also be sold at Foot Locker and Athleta in the coming weeks.
The latest product drop from Saysh is a celebration of the collective, invisible moments that make visible success possible. It is this work by women, often not seen or heard, that deserves to be acknowledged. The Saysh Two and Scarf by Saysh was designed to inspire all women to find the gracious power of self, knowing that Saysh is with you every step of the way with unprecedented support and comfort.
"Early in my track career, I thought I had to stay quiet and blend in. I now realize the importance of speaking up, championing women and being bold, and this sneaker represents the culmination of what I've learned," said Allyson Felix, Saysh Co-Founder and President. "I know firsthand the hard work women put into their daily life – the time, patience, determination and grit needed to reach success that often go unnoticed. The Saysh Two and Scarf by Saysh honor these moments, to remind women that we see you, too."
The Products To Be Seen In:
- Saysh Two: Taking inspiration from the world of premium leather goods, the Saysh Two is a versatile lifestyle sneaker meant for activities of everyday life. The fully leather upper wraps elegantly around the sneaker, that's uniquely sculpted to fit the shape and form of the female foot. A suede tongue and heel piece elevate the design with hand-painted detailing and premium touches - all wrapped up with broad satin laces that bring personality to the sneaker that can't go unnoticed. Product Colors: White, Yellow, Green, Navy. MSRP $185.
- Scarf by Saysh: Bringing an elevated styling opportunity to coordinate with the Saysh Two sneaker, the Scarf by Saysh is 100% silk. Crafted in Japan, these 28" x 28" (71cm x 71cm) scarves have hand-rolled edges and feature original illustrations. Product Colors: Pink. Gray, Red, Blue, Green. MSRP $195.
A long-time sponsored athlete, Allyson decided to leave a sportswear giant after the company attempted to reduce her pay during her pregnancy with her first child. After experiencing gender injustices, Allyson created Saysh alongside her brother Wes. Saysh's vision is a future in which inequality is undermined by female creativity and athleticism, and the brand is a representation of hope, acceptance, and the power to create change. The Saysh Two and Scarf by Saysh join the brand's current products: the Saysh One, a lifestyle sneaker designed and sculpted to the female foot; and the Saysh Spike One, a hand-crafted and iconic racing spike designed from the sole up and always on Allyson's feet during races. Most importantly, all Saysh designs are sculpted to fit the shape and form of the contours of a woman's foot, with a narrower heel and wider forefoot.
"In this process, we learned that most women's sneakers use existing molds made for men's feet to save money. As a company with a commitment for developing products for women and designing for high-accessibility standards, we knew there was no other decision than to manufacture our sneakers specifically to fit the female foot, said Wes Felix, Saysh Co-Founder and CEO. "We're one of the first to bring this idea to market and we've invested a significant amount in technology, manufacturing and design and are focused on ensuring our products feel good."
The Saysh Two and Scarf by Saysh will be available online at Saysh.com beginning today, September 15th, online at Athleta beginning September 29th and in select Foot Locker stores across North America in the coming weeks.

Saysh is a community-centered lifestyle brand for and by women focused on ethical conscience, aesthetic sensibility and an athletic mindset.

The Brazilian National Agency of Supplementary Health recommends SIR-Spheres for the treatment of intermediate- and advanced-stage hepatocellular carcinoma
WOBURN, Mass., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sirtex Medical ("Sirtex"), a leading manufacturer of targeted liver cancer therapies, announced that the Brazilian National Agency of Supplementary Health (ANS) approved SIR-Spheres® Y-90 resin microspheres for the treatment of intermediate and advanced stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in Brazil.
In an update to its List of Health Procedures and Events, ANS recommends SIR-Spheres for use in selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT), a minimally invasive treatment that delivers high doses of radiation directly to tumors while sparing surrounding healthy liver tissue. Sirtex received product approval from the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA) for SIR-Spheres in 2014.
"This milestone represents the close collaboration we have fostered with Brazilian colleagues, interventional radiologists and respected regulatory entities like ANS over the last six years," said Kevin R. Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Sirtex. "We celebrate the recognition of SIR-Spheres to advance care for HCC patients, and we also reaffirm our commitment to global growth and partnership for more effective cancer treatment worldwide."
The proposals for incorporation into the ANS List of Health Procedures and Events underwent broad social participation and careful technical analysis by the ANS, using the methodology of health technology assessment, similar to England, Canada, Australia and Germany. In Brazil, liver cancer has the 11th-highest cancer incidence, representing 2.1% of new cases and 4.7% of total cancer-related deaths, which highlights the burden and severity of this disease.
"The ANS recommendation of SIR-Spheres solidifies it as a valuable treatment option, especially since 76% of HCC patients in Brazil are diagnosed at an advanced stage when treatments of curative intent are no longer an option1," said Dr. Joaquim Maurício da Motta Leal Filho, President of the Brazilian Society of Interventional Radiology and Endovascular Surgery (SOBRICE). "As we continuously strive to improve outcomes for patients, we are proud of this achievement and feel gratitude to the many people who contributed to this decision."
In addition to Brazil, SIR-Spheres are approved for use in Argentina, Australia, Switzerland, Turkey, and several countries in Asia for the treatment of unresectable liver tumors. In the U.S., SIR-Spheres Y-90 resin microspheres have a Pre-Market Approval (PMA) from the FDA and are indicated for the treatment of unresectable metastatic liver tumors from primary colorectal cancer with adjuvant intra-hepatic artery chemotherapy (IHAC) of FUDR (floxuridine).

Premium pet food brand teams up with actress and dog mom to recognize and reciprocate the authentic joy they bring to our lives
OAK CREEK, Wis., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Stella & Chewy's, the category leader in the raw pet food space, announced today that it has joined forces with actress and pet parent Christina Ricci to celebrate the raw love our pets show us every day and showcase how food plays a key role in reciprocating this love. Whether it's a cat hanging from a curtain without a care in the world or a dog sleeping on the couch like no one's watching, pets show raw love by being their unfiltered, honest selves, and pet parents can return this love by feeding their pets quality ingredients, such as raw and raw-inspired food.
The premium pet food brand and television and film star aim to reach the growing number of pet parents seeking pet food options that provide nutritional benefits to their dogs and cats. Given the surge in pet adoptions throughout the COVID-19 pandemic - during which an estimated 23 million American households acquired a pet - and the fact that approximately 98 percent of pet parents state their relationship with their pet is one of the strongest emotional relationships in their lives (according to a 2021 survey from Stella & Chewy's1), the partnership comes at a perfect time as more pet parents look for a healthier, less processed diet with quality ingredients.
"As an avid pet lover and parent myself, I'm lucky to be surrounded by my dogs' raw love, like when they snuggle up with us on the couch for cuddles or offer up endless affection by licking my kids' faces," said Ricci. "To return the love they show me each day, I encourage my dogs Patrick, Logan and Karen Carpenter to keep being their unfiltered, playful selves by feeding them a non-processed diet that helps them stay energized and healthy."
In addition to partnering with Ricci, Stella & Chewy's launched the brand's first-ever national campaign, "All You Need is Raw" - a bold and candid celebration of the raw, unfiltered behaviors that make our pets who they are. To celebrate, Ricci will be joining a launch event on Saturday, September 17 at Fetch Park Buckhead in Atlanta to give pet lovers the opportunity to enjoy a special day together.
At the event, attendees and their pets will have a chance to experience key elements of the "All You Need is Raw" campaign, including an art exhibition showcasing pets in their raw, natural state, and other immersive activities such as a live, in-action sketch artist and muralist, interactive photo booth opportunities and an onsite food truck and pet treating area.
"Partnering with Christina is a natural fit for our brand and we're so excited she's joining us to celebrate the raw love we share with our pets," said Marc Hill, CEO of Stella & Chewy's. "Stella & Chewy's was founded with raw love at its core, and it couldn't be more evident that Christina embodies this daily through the relationship she has with her three dogs."
To learn more about Stella & Chewy's range of premium raw and natural pet food for dogs and cats, visit www.allyouneedisraw.com or follow the company on Facebook or Instagram.
About Stella & Chewy's
Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Oak Creek Wisconsin, Stella & Chewy's strives to provide the highest quality raw and natural pet food with an emphasis on nutrition, palatability, safety and convenience.

Featuring shorter tracker rows, TopoTrack™ improves terrain handling and constructability for large-scale solar and distributed generation
ALAMEDA, Calif., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunfolding, a supplier of innovative, US-made solar tracking technology, today announced a solution for projects on variable terrain that virtually eliminates grading within the solar array boundaries. Using Sunfolding's AirLink technology, TopoTrack's mechanically independent, scaled-down tracker rows minimize lost land within the fence line and at sites that were once considered off-limits to solar.
Sunfolding will display TopoTrack™ in the Solar Power International exhibition hall at RE+, September 20-22, in Anaheim, Calif. Visit Booth 1220 to see TopoTrack™, learn about the Sunfolding T29 Single-Axis Tracker, and meet the Sunfolding team.
TopoTrack™ features two posts, two actuators, and two purlins. By shortening row length, TopoTrack™ improves slope tolerance between rows and expands the boundaries of where solar can go.
"Sunfolding is driven to challenge conventional wisdom about solar project development on any land. You no longer have to flatten your site to make it suitable for trackers. TopoTrack™ maximizes both capacity and yield while virtually eliminating grading," said Glen Davis, chief executive officer of Sunfolding. "We're making solar projects easier to develop, build and operate, and more profitable to own."
The posts, actuators, and purlins for TopoTrack™ ship from US production facilities. Sunfolding sources over 90 percent of the tracker bill of materials from a 250-mile radius in the Midwest, delivering shorter lead times and reduced procurement risks.
"Passage of the Inflation Reduction Act is pointing to unprecedented solar growth and a shift towards infrastructure with low impact on the planet combined with positive impact on the US economy. This is what Sunfolding provides," added Sunfolding Founder and Chief Technology Officer Leila Madrone. "Sunfolding makes it possible to build solar plants with no grading and no disruption of natural ecosystems due to the flexibility of our unique drive system. And our mechanical and structural components are domestically sourced from the US auto industry."
For more information about TopoTrack™, please visit the Sunfolding website or find us at RE+ in Booth 1220.
Sunfolding maximizes profitability with innovative solar tracking technology. Powered by air, the Sunfolding T29™ Single-Axis Tracker deploys on land previously off limits to utility-scale solar. The Sunfolding T29 also makes solar plants faster to install and easier to operate. Sunfolding has been recognized as a 2020 Global Cleantech 100 Company and a 2019 Bloomberg New Energy Pioneer. Headquartered in Alameda, CA, Sunfolding ships US-manufactured trackers throughout North America. For more information, visit Sunfolding.com.

Nearly 40% of organizations say their cost-to-collect has increased over past year
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AKASA™, the leading developer of AI for healthcare operations, released findings from a new survey highlighting how hospitals and health systems that leverage automation in the revenue cycle have a lower cost-to-collect compared to those who don't use automation.
Healthcare financial leaders who use automation within the revenue cycle reported having an average cost-to-collect of 3.51% vs. an average cost-to-collect of 3.74% for those who don't leverage automation in the revenue cycle—which can translate into millions of dollars saved. The average reported cost-to-collect overall for both groups is 3.68%.
For a health system with $5 billion in revenue, a cost-to-collect of 3.74% amounts to $187 million for the revenue cycle alone. If that health system had the same average cost-to-collect as organizations that use automation in the revenue cycle (3.51%), this would total $175.5 million in spend - a savings of $11.5 million.
Additionally, healthcare financial leaders were surveyed on any changes to their cost-to-collect compared to this time last year (2021):
- 20.1% reported a decreased cost-to-collect by 0.1-0.3%+
- 41.1% reported no change
- 38.8% reported an increased cost-to-collect by 0.1-0.3%+
The cost-to-collect is any cost used to drive revenue, which typically includes the revenue cycle holistically: staff, salaries, and sometimes technology, depending on how the organization operates. Cost-to-collect encompasses the time it takes to complete revenue cycle tasks like touching and re-working claims. CFOs and revenue cycle leaders at hospitals and health systems say the cost-to-collect is one of the most valuable key performance indicators in revenue cycle success.
"Automation is the key differentiator when moving the needle on cost-to-collect and creating large-scale cost savings," said Amy Raymond, VP of revenue cycle operations. "Although healthcare revenue cycle leaders have been trying to reduce the rates for years, studies show cost-to-collect has remained stagnant and this collides with significant financial pressures facing most healthcare organizations."
"With AI and automation, providers have a proactive, holistic way to improve the revenue cycle and reduce the cost-to-collect," said Raymond. "Strategic organizations are implementing effective AI-powered automation to truly optimize revenue cycle processes, increase efficiencies, and focus their people on the work that returns the greatest value to the organization. Increasing the accuracy and efficiency of accounts receivable and reducing initial denials and final write-offs impact the cost-to-collect. With fewer people touching and re-working the claims, the more productive the revenue cycle team is, and the lower the cost-to-collect."
Commissioned by AKASA, the survey fielded responses from 556 chief financial officers and revenue cycle leaders at hospitals and health systems across the United States through the Healthcare Financial Management Association's (HFMA) Pulse Survey program between July 8, 2022 and August 2, 2022. The national survey was designed to assess the adoption of automation in revenue cycle operations at hospitals and health systems across the U.S.
AKASA is the leading developer of AI for healthcare operations. AKASA scales human intelligence with leading-edge AI and ML securely trained on customer data to learn unique systems, continuously adapt to changing environments, and deliver comprehensive automation and analytics for complex workflows. The result is a seamlessly integrated, customized solution that reduces operating costs, frees up staff to do the work they love, and helps health systems allocate resources to where they matter most.
AKASA has a work-from-anywhere attitude and we are hiring. Step into the future of healthcare with AKASA. Learn more at AKASA.com.

TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- TempraMed is launching a new-generation insulin pen-cap temperature shield that takes its exclusive, industry-standard insulin protection to new levels of efficacy and convenience. Branded the "VIVI Cap multi-model", this new product builds upon the company's pioneering of temperature designed control devices, and technologies specifically engineered to provide patients with diabetes with better, hassle-free protection for their in-use insulin. Temperature protection and control management for injectable and temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals are critical to helping patients live with diabetes and, most significantly, live better lives.
Convenience And Protection
The VIVI Cap multi-model is suitable for use with a wide range of pre-filled and refillable insulin pens. It protects insulin in-use from extreme temperatures which can quickly degrade its performance. The VIVI Cap is self-contained – no refrigeration, ice packs, external power or batteries required. It's small, lightweight and easy to use. It features a built-in temperature sensor and easy-to-read temperature indicator. And it's scientifically validated, FSA/HSA eligible and TSA compliant. The VIVI Cap multi-model fits in a purse, pocket or backpack. Better yet, it fits in patients' lives, providing a carry-anywhere solution that will continue working 24/7, 365 days a year – for years to come.
The VIVI Cap shields insulin in-use from potential temperature damage, which can occur if it is not kept above freezing and below 86 degrees F. Compromised insulin is less effective and increases the likelihood of adverse side effects. It's also very costly for users to have to discard spoiled medications.
Engineered To Perform
VIVI Cap uses a unique, patented combination of special thermal insulation with "self-regenerating" heat absorbing material and control electronics. It is literally maintenance free. For people spending their working days outdoors, or just out enjoying their day, there is no other convenient, effective solution that can be used day in and day out to protect their insulin from spoiling. The product is also FDA registered and CE marked.
Innovation Speaks for Itself
According to Ron Nagar, TempraMed CEO and Founder: "Our continuing mission is to create easy-to-use, hassle-free solutions that help patients live better lives. Protecting them from damaged medications does just that. Everyday pharmaceuticals are injected by hundreds of millions of patients worldwide, but because these medications are so temperature and light sensitive, they might be damaged or compromised. This is just not an acceptable scenario for those with diabetes who need to trust their medication."

About TempraMed
TempraMed develops, manufactures and markets innovative personal storage solutions for injectable medications. Its goal is to fill the previously unmet need for people who inject medications and would like to live their lives more spontaneously, more conveniently and more safely.

As part of this program, Tork and its respective NFL partners will work to raise awareness and promote the benefits of proper hygiene, and ultimately provide community partners with essential hygiene products that help reduce environmental impact.
"Maintaining a clean and hygienic environment is critical at stadiums like Lambeau Field and Lincoln Financial Field – each of which can hold upwards of 70,000 fans – as well as within our communities," said Don Lewis, President of Professional Hygiene at Essity. "Together with the Packers and the Eagles, we are proud to spearhead community initiatives, like Tackle Hygiene with Every Catch, in order to deliver hygienic experiences to fans, while giving back to those in the community who rely on programs like Project HOME in Philadelphia, and Pillars and Harbor House in Green Bay and the Fox Cities, for essential services."
Tork and the Packers are working together to support and give back to the Green Bay community. For every catch the Packers make during the first five home games of the season, Tork will donate $250 worth of safe, effective and sustainably produced hygiene products, such as hand sanitizer, wet wipes, paper roll towels and toilet paper (up to $30,000 in products) to local nonprofit organizations that are working to improve the well-being of those in need. The purposes of both Pillars and Harbor House in Green Bay and the Fox Cities align with Essity's mission to breaking barriers to well-being.
"For years, we have relied on Tork hygiene products at Lambeau Field on gameday and every day to meet the needs of our players, staff and fans," said Chad Watson, Director of Sales and Business Development for the Packers. "We're proud to again partner with Tork to promote hand hygiene in order to help prevent illness and give our fans, players and the community the tools they need to stay healthy. We're looking forward to highlighting the importance of hygiene and sustainability in our community through another season of the Tackle Hygiene with Every Catch campaign."
Last year, in partnership with the Packers, Tork donated $28,000 worth of sustainable hygiene products to local charities in the Green Bay and Milwaukee region.
Similarly, for every catch the Eagles make, both at home and away, from September 19th through January 8th, Essity will donate Tork essential hygiene items including hand sanitizer, wet wipes and toilet paper to Project HOME, an organization that serves to alleviate the underlying causes of poverty and break the cycle of homelessness in Philadelphia. The total donation will amount up to $30,000. This partnership with Tork, the global leader in professional hygiene, demonstrates Essity's commitment to supporting a healthy, sustainable, and strong community and the Eagles' commitment to serving the greater Philadelphia area.
"We always strive to provide the greatest gameday experience for our fans. In order to do so, we recognize that we must maintain high standards of cleaning and disinfection at Lincoln Financial Field and the NovaCare Complex," said Brian Napoli, Vice President of Corporate Partnerships, Philadelphia Eagles. "The use of innovative products and market-leading services from Tork enhance our commitment to sustainability and enable us to keep our fans and community safe. We are excited to once again partner with Tork on this campaign, and further support the important mission of Project HOME."
Last year, alongside the Eagles, Tork donated $26,500 worth of innovative and sustainable Tork hygiene solutions to Project HOME.

MOUNT AIRY, Md., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Twenty-seven Congressional Medal of Honor recipients are calling on Congress to enact National Warrior Call Day – a suicide prevention push that aims to enlist millions of Americans to connect with service members and veterans, according to the Troops First Foundation.
"As former service members who have received the Medal of Honor, we are writing you on behalf of our fellow team members who may be dangerously disconnected and close to the brink of suicide. We are writing to ask you to support a national effort to connect with these brave Americans and steer them to resources," they wrote.
Senate lawmakers have introduced a congressional resolution (S.Res. 754) to declare the Sunday after Veterans Day "National Warrior Call Day." This year, the day of action falls on Sunday, Nov. 13, 2022. The effort is supported by numerous leading veteran organizations, current and former military officials, all living former VA secretaries and a host of public policy organizations.
Warrior Call seeks to reverse the suicide trend through a simple premise and call to action: Americans – but especially active duty servicepeople and veterans – should connect on Nov. 13 with those who are wearing or have worn the uniform to let them know they care. Participants should make a call, have an honest conversation and steer them to resources, if necessary. In their letter to members of Congress, the American heroes stress the urgent need for Warrior Call.
"This effort comes at an important time: as the rapid unraveling of Afghanistan has spurred anguish and frustration among the 700,000 service members who served there. It also comes as the suicide rate for active-duty forces reached its highest level," they wrote.
"The resolution does not directly involve the VA or require appropriation of federal dollars, but its value is priceless. Enactment of the resolution will help connect service members and vets to support networks. In short, it will save lives," they wrote.
Frank Larkin, chair of Warrior Call, stressed that, "Congress now must do its part. A resolution would raise awareness of the imperative for every American to make a call to a warrior, on Nov. 13 and over time until every warrior is safe."
The entirety of their letter can be viewed here.
Founded in 2008, the Troops First Foundation implements initiatives that foster connectivity, build trust and address reintegration in post-9/11 warrior care. One of the foundation's programs is Warrior Call.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hagens Berman urges Twitter, Inc. (NYSE: TWTR) investors who suffered significant losses to submit your losses now.
Class Period: Aug. 3, 2020 – Aug. 23, 2022
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: Nov. 14, 2022

The litigation focuses on Twitter's repeated claims about its compliance with its March 2011 settlement with the Federal Trade Commission that barred the company for 20 years "from misleading consumers about the extent to which it protects the security, privacy, and confidentiality of nonpublic consumer information, including the measures it takes to prevent unauthorized access to nonpublic information and honor the privacy choices made by consumers."
The complaint alleges: (1) Twitter knew about security concerns on its platform; (2) Twitter actively worked to hide the security concerns from the board, investors, and regulators; (3) contrary to Twitter's representations in SEC filings, it did not take steps to improve security; and (4) Twitter's active refusal to address security issues increased the risk of loss of public goodwill.
Investors learned the truth on Aug. 23, 2022, when CNN reported that Peiter "Mudge" Zatko, Twitter's former head of security, alleged in his July 2022 whistleblower complaint "that Twitter's leadership misled its own board and government regulators about its security vulnerabilities, including some that could allegedly open the door to foreign spying or manipulation, hacking and disinformation campaigns."
This news sent the price of Twitter shares down over 7% lower on Aug. 23, 2022, wiping out over $2 billion of shareholder value.
"We're focused on investors' losses and whether Twitter lied about its commitment to protect users' nonpublic information," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding Twitter should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As the warm days of summer vacation draw to a close, American children will once again feel the familiar anticipation of back-to-school rituals: new backpacks, the latest sneakers, school supplies, reuniting with classmates and teachers. But for Ukrainian children living in European refugee camps, the back-to-school experience will look and feel quite different.
Having fled a war-torn country and the only home they've ever known, these children will enter a school where lessons are taught in an unfamiliar language and while still suffering from the unspeakable atrocities of war. While the children, haunted by memories, are experiencing trauma, grief, and heartbreaking loss, the critical trauma and bereavement services they and their caregivers require are largely unavailable, with local mental health workers spread thin.
That's why this fall, Denise Daniels, RN, MS, director of The Moodsters Children's Foundation—a U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit and a U.S. Department of State 'Preferred Partner' for Ukrainian Children—and Robin Stern, PhD, co-founder and associate director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, will lead an all-volunteer disaster response team to Italy on behalf of thousands of Ukrainians who have found refuge there.
The team is being supported by the Italian Embassy to the U. S., David J Schonfeld, MD, FAAP, developmental-behavioral pediatrician and director of the National Center for School Crisis and Bereavement at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, and professor of clinical pediatrics at USC Keck School of Medicine, is advising the team on children's grief and trauma.
Under the auspices of the U.S. Department of State and consulates in Rome and Florence, The Moodsters Children's Foundation will first bring a uniquely qualified team of experts to Italy in early September. They will help advise local educators, pediatricians, mental health professionals, and staff at refugee camps—the front-line workers for young children—in the very specific needs of children suffering overwhelming grief, loss, and trauma.
In October, an expanded interdisciplinary team of trauma specialists, pediatricians, teachers, nurses, and grief and loss therapists, will work closely with Ukrainian children, mothers, and caregivers. The focus will be on providing critical and practical support to help children cope with grief, loss, and trauma, and equipping the children with the resilience skills they'll need as they embark on the long road to recovery.
Services will include a toolbox of evidence-based interventions from which the children and their caregivers can draw when coping with their emotions. In addition to trauma and grief counseling, experts in art, music, and play therapy will help children process their complex feelings and experiences. Play therapy, in particular, is critical when working with traumatized children, as it offers a much-needed respite and helps children share their stories.
The award-winning Moodster characters will offer live performances for children in refugee camps, schools, and hospitals including the Vatican's renowned Bambino Gesù Pediatric Hospital in Rome. This first-of-its kind, interactive program is designed to help children grapple with the physical and emotional upheaval of war and provide the tools for emotional and psychological resilience. Each child will also receive a Moodster Meter to help them identify and share their feelings.
The Foundation is seeking to raise $500,000 by November 30th to fund this critical mission. Your generous donations will help provide the invaluable therapies, skilled personnel, and vital supplies that will equip and support these Ukrainian children as they begin the complex, lifelong process of healing. Please visit us at TheMoodsters.com or contact Denise@TheMoodsters.com to make a donation.
About The Moodsters
The Moodsters is the first evidence-based global children's brand to address emotional literacy and resilience in young children. The Moodsters characters, who represent the key emotions experienced by young children, were created by Denise Daniels, RN, MS, a Peabody award-winning broadcast journalist, author, and child-development and parenting expert specializing in the social and emotional development of young children.

Maintains Hyper Growth Trajectory as Concerted APAC Expansion Continues
CAMPBELL, Calif., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- WEKA, the Data Platform for AI company, today announced it has closed a record-breaking third quarter (Q3) of financial results and global expansion in its fiscal year 2022 (FY'22). Following the launch of its fourth generation WEKA® Data Platform unveiled in June, the company closed the largest financial quarter in its history – exceeding combined business from all four quarters of its fiscal year 2021. At the same time, WEKA celebrated the continued growth of its global team and steady expansion into the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, where it added top sales, engineering, and customer success talent across several key markets.
As global organizations continue to embrace digital-first strategies at a record pace, many are looking to harness artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to unlock transformational insights that fuel new business models and new frontiers of innovation, scientific breakthroughs, and research discoveries. The unfortunate reality, however, is that many AI and ML projects never make it from pilot to production, often due to the limitations of traditional data infrastructures that cannot provide the required performance, scale, and seamless data portability needed to support complex computing in modern distributed data environments. Increasingly, organizations are turning to WEKA to help them overcome these challenges, accelerate their data-driven initiatives, and deliver first-to-market results with AI, ML, and other high-performance computing workloads.
As customer demand for its WEKA 4 Data Platform intensifies, the company is seeing tremendous success across multiple indexes that are contributing to a period of sustained hypergrowth. Highlights from its Q3 result include:
Record-Breaking Financial Results and Cloud Acceleration
- Q3 was the largest financial quarter in WEKA's history – outpacing its entire FY'21 business.
- The company achieved an impressive 255 percent net dollar retention (NDR) rate in Q3 and maintained a zero-churn business.
- It also delivered 250 percent of its Q3 financial plan, growing total contract value (TCV) by 635 percent and annual reoccurring revenue (ARR) by 232 percent year-over-year.
- 43 percent of its Q3 customer transactions were in the cloud.
WEKA netted multiple seven and eight-figure deals with some of the world's leading brands and most respected research organizations in the media and entertainment, space exploration, aerospace and defense, pharmaceutical, and autonomous vehicles industries.
WEKA continued to fortify its sales, pre-sales, solution engineering, and customer success teams in Australia, South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan to better serve customers in these and other adjacent markets, including India and China.
The company continued to bolster its global sales, marketing, product management, engineering, customer success, finance, and operations teams – fueling a nearly 50% year-over-year increase in employee headcount since the start of the calendar year.
"Only three quarters on and it has already been an unprecedented year of innovation and record growth at WEKA," said Jonathan Martin, president of WEKA. "As the global pandemic and supply chain crisis accelerated the digital initiatives and cloud adoption of organizations worldwide, WEKA bet big on the need for a simple, unified, and highly performant approach to data management for the cloud and AI era with the advancements in our WEKA 4 Data Platform. The investments we've made – in our technology, our people, and our continued expansion in the Asia Pacific region and beyond – are now driving material results far exceeding our very high expectations."
"The WEKA team has again outperformed against our ambitious annual operating plan for a third straight quarter. We could not be prouder of their determination and fortitude in delivering record results in what has been a challenging economic climate for so many," said Intekhab Nazeer, chief financial officer at WEKA. "Looking ahead, with the tailwinds of a significant qualified pipeline and steadily ramping cloud business fueling our fourth quarter, we are optimistic for a strong finish to our fiscal year 2022."
WEKA delivers the industry's first multicloud data platform for artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and other next-generation workloads. The WEKA® Data Platform's advanced architecture is optimized to solve complex data management challenges and provide consistently epic performance at scale across on-premises, edge, hybrid and multicloud environments. WEKA is accelerating innovation, research, and discovery for the world's leading enterprises and research organizations – including eight of the Fortune 50 – and helping them to achieve first-to-market results with AI. WEKA is backed by nine world-class strategic investors, including Hitachi, HPE, and NVIDIA, and operates in more than 20 countries worldwide. For more information, visit https://weka.io.
