Text: SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Game Developers Conference (GDC) has released the results of the ninth annual State of the Industry Survey, revealing trends in the game industry ahead of GDC 2021 which will take place virtually July 19-23. More than 3,000 games industry professionals weighed in on what has been a tumultuous year as developers adjusted to remote work, dealing with pandemic stress and being increasingly isolated, while creating entertainment known for helping people get through feelings of loneliness, isolation, and anxiety. The survey results show that while the pandemic caused delays for close to half of respondents, studios overall grew or stayed the same over the last year, and that work-life balance evened out after a rough first few months, with most developers now working standard 40-hour work weeks. The survey also showed interesting shifts in larger industry trends, including greater disapproval of the 30% revenue share many digital storefronts employ, justifying newer, more developer-friendly revenue share models being introduced by Apple, Google, and Epic. Theres also growing interest in developing games for PlayStation 5, with PC continuing to reign as the platform of choice. 44% of developers said their game suffered a delay due to the pandemic. Studios grew during the pandemic: 47% expanded staff; 34% remained the same Complications brought on by remote work have contributed to delayed games, more so than respondents initially thought they would when first asked this question last summer. Forty-four percent of those polled said Yes when asked if their game has suffered a delay due to the pandemic (up from 33% last summer); 48% answered No and the remainder said they were not currently working on a game. However, studios continued to grow over the last year, with 47% of those surveyed reporting that they expanded their staffs. Another shift can be seen in responses relating to productivity and creativity. While 41% of respondents polled last July said their productivity had taken a hit because of remote work, 66% of respondents this year said their productivity and creativity stayed the same or even increased to varying degrees, which goes against the narrative that working from home is inherently negative when it comes to getting work done. Only 3% of those polled think the 30/70 revenue share on digital storefronts is justified Down from 6% when this same question was asked for the 2020 survey, only 3% of polled developers believe the 30/70 revenue split on digital storefronts is fair. Game developers largely rely on third-party digital storefronts such as Steam, GOG, Google Play, Apples App Store, and the Epic Games Store to sell their games. Selling games via these services comes at a costthe standard share has been 70% for the developer, and 30% for the platform holder. That standard has come into question in the past few years, so much so that the standard isnt so standard anymore: Google Plays fees will soon lower from 30% to 15% for the first $1 million generated by a developer, per year; Apple similarly reduced its cut to 15% for developers that sell under $1 million in a year (though the 30% cut reactivates to affect all revenue if sales go over $1 million); Epic Games aggressively launched its store with a 12% cut, challenging the industry standard; Steam is still holding tight onto 30%--but gives a discount if a game is making tens of millions of dollars. PS5 most popular console to develop for; PC still most popular platform Game developers are settling in with developing for next generation consoles and Sonys PlayStation 5 is leading developer interest when it comes to game consoles. Forty-four percent of those polled said PS5 is the platform theyre most interested in right now, followed by Nintendo Switch at 38% and Xbox Series X/S at 30%. Among all platforms, the PC led developer interest for yet another year at 58%.

Text: BOSTON, Nov. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite financial stress from the COVID-19 pandemic and clergy sexual abuse settlements, the number of dioceses posting audited financial reports to their websites rose 5% in the past year, according to Voice of the Faithful's 2020 study of U.S. Catholic dioceses' online financial transparency. Continue Reading However, 43 dioceses posted no financial information, and overall, diocesan transparency dropped from 65.11% in 2019 to 64.76% in 2020. Relatively stagnant overall scores resulted, at least in part, from the change of one word in Question #8, "current," referring to lists of Diocesan Finance Council members. Dioceses scoring zero on Question #8 almost doubled from 2019 to 2020, going from 68 to 113 out of 177 dioceses and offsetting major gains in scores overall.

The top five dioceses, which received perfect scores, were Archdioceses of Baltimore, Maryland, Anchorage, Alaska, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the Dioceses of Erie, Pennsylvania, and Rochester, New York.

Text: PARAMUS, N.J., Nov. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --PolaryxTherapeutics, Inc., abiotechcompany developing small molecule therapeutics forlysosomalstorage disorders, announced today that it has received from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) both Rare Pediatric Disease and Orphan Drug designations for the treatment of GM2 gangliosidosis with PLX-300. GM2 gangliosidosis, also known as Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff diseases, are ultra-rare and fatal pediatric neurodegenerative disorders caused by defects in Hexosaminidase A (HEXA) and Hexosaminidase B (HEXB), key enzymes in the lysosome, respectively. These genetic defects lead to abnormal accumulation of gangliosides, resulting in severe progressive neurodegeneration, seizures, loss of mobility, hearing, and vision, and early death. There is no cure for these diseases and the only treatment is supportive care. Under theFDA'srare pediatric disease designation program, the FDA grants Rare Pediatric Disease designation for serious or life-threatening diseases with patients aged from birth to 18 years which affects fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S. If a new drug application (NDA) for PLX-300 is approved, the Company is eligible to receive a priority review voucher that may be sold or transferred to others. In addition, because orphan drug designation has been granted to PLX-300 for GM2 gangliosidosis from the FDA, the Company can receive the FDA's expedited review and approval process. "We are very excited to receive both rare pediatric disease and orphan drug designations from the FDA for the treatment of GM2 gangliosidosis with PLX-300. These designations clearly demonstrate the translational excellence of the PLX-300 from bench to bedside. We are now doing required preclinical studies in order to enter into Phase1/2 studies as soon as possible," says Dr. Hahn-Jun Lee, M.Sc., Ph.D., President and CEO ofPolaryxTherapeutics, Inc. Alex Yang, J.D., LLM, President and CEO ofMstonePartners Hong Kong and Chairof the Board atPolaryxTherapeutics, stated, "We are making tremendous steps towards developing several promising drugs to treat a number of highly unmet diseases affecting the lysosomal enzymes in the brain.On top of the recent commencement of other lysosomal storage disorders, we will also make every effort to bring the effective drugs for children suffering from these life-threatening diseases." PolaryxTherapeutics, Inc. PolaryxTherapeutics, Inc. is developing drug candidates forlysosomalstorage disorders, for which there are currently no safe and patient-friendly treatment options available.Lysosomalstorage disorders are a group of rare inherited genetic disorders caused by the dysfunction oflysosomalenzymes and/or molecules important in the function of these enzymes. Young children are victims of these devastating diseases and die at an early age due to lack of treatment options. PLX-300 PLX-300 is a novel, small molecule found in many plants as a deaminated product of phenylalanine. It is widely used as a spice or flavoring material for food. It activatesPPAR, which enhances production of transcription factor EB (TFEB). TFEB then binds to the promoter of genes involved inlysosomebiogenesisand activates their production. PLX-300 also has additional activities, such as reducing inflammation and preventing cell death (apoptosis). GM2 gangliosidosis The GM2 gangliosidosis is caused by mutations in the HEXA and HEXB genes encoding subunits of ganglioside -hexosaminidase (Hex), the lysosomal enzyme that normally degrades GM2. As a result, GM2 ganglioside accumulates in the lysosomes of nerve cells resulting in distended neurons engorged with swollen lysosomes (membranous cytoplasmic bodies; MCB) throughout the nervous system. There are two major forms of Hex: HEXA, a heterodimer composed of one and one subunit, and HEXB, composed of two subunits. TaySachs disease is caused by mutations in the HEXA gene encoding the subunit of HEXA. The much rarer Sandhoff disease, a more severe form of Tay-Sachs disease, is caused by mutations in the HEXB gene encoding the subunit, leading to deficiency of both HEXA and HEXB activities.

Text: SHANGHAI, March 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- James Liang is an economist and entrepreneur. Trip.com Group Ltd. is one of the world's largest OTAs. The following are his thoughts on current events, their effects on the travel industry, and how technology can help alleviate some of these issues. These opinions are his own, and do not necessarily reflect those of Trip.com Group Ltd. as a whole: Countries and regions all over the world have elevated their response to the COVID-19 novel coronavirus, imposing travel bans and cancelling events, bringing the economy to a standstill. In China, however, where the first lockdowns were implemented in late January at an estimated economic cost of around RMB 100 billion per day, the virus has been effectively contained, businesses have resumed operation, and life is returning to normal. In early February, when China implemented blanket bans on travelers, I argued for a more precise means of identifying at-risk persons for infection who had travelled to affected areas, like Wuhan. Mobile phones have an important role to play-- they are an integral part of peoples' lives, and we take them literally everywhere we go. Telecommunications operators thus have the best grasp on where a person has travelled to, at what time, and for how long. While keeping this important data secure and private, operators could work with governments and leading mobile Internet companies across the world to develop an electronic 'passport', and provide more precise epidemic prevention guidelines. With the 'passport' generated by this app, governments could, in a fluid and timely fashion, set travel, isolation and preventative regulations (like, the requirement to wear a mask) with view to the developing situation in each region. Today, China has managed to both effectively contain the virus and allow citizens to move freely throughout the country, using a mobile app to generate a 'Health Code'. The code, which any mobile phone user can easily obtain, allows individuals to voluntarily declare their movements, at a crucial moment in the fight against the epidemic, which would ordinarily demand stricter measures, like lockdowns and travel bans. The alternative is not only draconian, but ineffective. For example, currently, a British national who has travelled to Italy (and is therefore at risk of infection) may be allowed to enter Singapore, while an Italian national who has resided in the United Kingdom for years (and is thus a low risk case) would be denied entry. Furthermore, someone who travelled to Italy 10 days ago, but has been in the UK since would be required to quarantine for another 14 days upon arriving in a third country. A smart 'passport' would accurately identify material risk in both of these cases, and alleviate the traveler who had been in Italy 10 days ago of the additional and unnecessary 14 day burden, shortening the required isolation period to 4 days. As has been demonstrated domestically, Chinese citizens are more than willing to declare, in the form of a 'health code', their travel history in return for freedom of movement and convenience. If governments and telecommunications providers around the globe worked together to make this data available to citizens, travelers could voluntarily offer proof of their movements in exchange for privileges that may otherwise be restricted as a precautionary measure. With sufficient technological support, restrictions could be tightened and eased in real-time, avoiding unnecessary barriers to economic activity while effectively containing the outbreak. Telecommunications providers possess the data to deduce our movements, and make this possible. While this data should be used sparingly and with consent, many citizens would be willing to make such a declaration, in the same way some countries require itineraries and return tickets for entry. For example, Singapore Telecom could develop a mobile app to allow its users to voluntarily and conveniently declare their recent travel history when entering a destination country. When the alternative is prolonged blanket restrictions on travel and the real risk of economic recession, offering citizens the option to declare their movements in exchange for freedom of movement could be an effective way to balance control of the outbreak with the pressing need to resume normal economic and social activity. At this stage in the global fight against the epidemic, it is critical to minimize the negative impact on the economy.

Text: OYSTER BAY, N.Y., June 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --In the wake of COVID-19, cloud-based Artificial Intelligence (AI) will play a critical role in the transformation of three key industries warehousing and logistics, conversational AI, and healthcare & pharmaceuticals, states ABI Research, a global tech market Advisory firm In its new whitepaper, Cloud-Based AI In A Post-COVID-19 World, ABI Research reveals how COVID-19 is driving demand for fully scalable, flexible, and secure cloud services, and explores how Cloud AI will fundamentally impact these three domains. "Warehousing and logistics have been particularly hard hit in recent months," says Lian Jye Su, Principal Analyst at ABI Research. "Before the outbreak, the continued growth of the e-commerce market and increasing customer expectations already placed enormous pressures on warehouses to execute more rapid and flexible deliveries. COVID-19 has caused further disruption." Logistics companies need to evaluate options and model changes across modes of transportation, considering interruptions, delays, and significant price increases. This is driving investment in warehouse facilities, automation technologies, and Warehouse Management Systems (WMSs) to coordinate and optimize operations. Integrating key systems, such WMSs, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and Transportation Management Systems (TMSs), along with predictive analytics and scenario modeling, becomes more pressing and vital. As the margin for error in the warehouse decreases, AI-enabled supply chain solutions are becoming imperative for warehouses that rely on speed, efficiency, and intelligence to remain competitive. "Cloud AI is also accelerating Conversational AI. Voice has already made significant inroads into the smart home space and certain enterprise domains," says Su. A global emphasis on working from home, combined with advice to minimize COVID-19 transmission from shared surfaces will help cement the benefits of smart home voice control for millions of consumers and enterprises. Conversational AI platforms allow enterprises to activate, manage, and train AI to resolve tickets, address questions regarding availability and pricing, and aid with complex issues. This is set to benefit both cloud AI vendors, such as Amazon, Alibaba, Baidu, Google, Microsoft, and Xiaomi, which offer voice control frontends, as well as chipset vendors whose chipsets support the training and inference of cloud-based natural language processing workloads and voice activation and recognition in voice control devices. AI is also playing a key role in the public healthcare response to the pandemic. "All major AI companies have developed AI tools to help detect the virus, diagnose its evolution, track its geographical footprint to project its future, and even predict its potential protein structure to find a vaccine," explains Su. "Most importantly, AI will be adopted in the field of bioinformatics." To get ahead of the ever-evolving virus and to save as many lives as possible, new drug discovery, development, and testing processes need to be set up. Tools from established companies like Google DeepMind, startups like Graphen, and AI chipsets from vendors like NVIDIA and Intel will help accelerate the speed of drug discovery, development, and testing, allowing pharmaceutical companies and healthcare authorities to combat the pandemic. "In the short term, cloud AI enables better remote visibility and maintenance, as well as less travel to facilities; midterm, it promotes data-driven decision-making; long-term, it is the cornerstone for many emerging key technologies and strong business fundamentals," Su concludes.

Text: SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Nov. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Hills Software, the worldwide leader in high-assurance operating systems, today announced that its INTEGRITY-178 Time-Variant Unified Multi-Processing (tuMP) RTOS was selected by the U.S. Army for the operating system upgrade to the Improved Data Modem (IDM-401) program.

This limited overall system throughput and led the IDM program to find a DO-178C DAL A compliant solution that provided optimal core utilization and greater processing power from the existing IDM multicore CPU. The primary factor in the selection of INTEGRITY-178 tuMP was the low-risk path for the delivery of its DAL A certification artifacts on a multicore architecture for the IDM processor. Other key factors included the built-in multicore interference mitigation and the ability to utilize all available cores in an efficient, optimal and bounded manner.

Text: FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., May 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Dynamic health and wellness brand, Freeman Formula creates books, videos, coaching systems, and nutritional products, and now they have partnered with TruLife Distribution to make their UPGRADENatural Brain Formula available for purchase nationwide via both online and brick and mortar outlets. Freeman Formula is the product of many years of hard work by husband and wife fitness duo, Jeramy and Kim Freeman. The Freemans call themselves "Professional Goal Achievers," and they have the experience to back up their claim. With over 25 years in the business of fitness and coaching, the Freemans have built a results-driven business model, and their recent partnership with the health industry veterans at TruLife that has put them on the map. "I had been using my own sales team for years to get my products out there," says Jeramy Freeman. "But when I met with Brian Gould from TruLife, it just clicked. Brian was able to talk about my products better than my own sales team. That really impressed me. Brian also took a look at my productline to help identify which products would be the most profitable to create the most growth for my business, and this helped us expand into over 3,000 stores." Now Freeman Formula's UPGRADE brain health shots are available for purchase in national retail stores and online; a big step in the right direction for the Freeman brand, as more people are buying from home. Another major component of Freeman Formula's expansion was its success at the niche industry retail conference, ECRM. ECRM is a networking event in which up and coming brands can meet with some of the market's largest retail buyers, with the goal of getting their products placed in large brick-and-mortar stores. Freeman says he spent a few years promoting his products at ECRM without representation, but when he partnered with TruLife the results were instantaneous. "Right away he was making connections that I just couldn't have imagined," says Freeman. "Networking events like that [ECRM] are all about who you know, and Brian has been building these relationships for years." TruLife founder and CEO Brian Gould has decades of experience selecting top-performing supplemental nutrition companies and helping them grow their business, but he also has experience networking with some of the largest retailers in the country. Gould says he was impressed with Freeman Formula's ingredient quality and close attention to ingredient synergy. "We love representing Freeman Formula," says Gould "when they put out a product, we know it's going to sell, we couldn't be more confident in helping them develop these partnerships because of the promising future we see for this brand." UPGRADE is an all-natural formula, designed to work with the body for reliable brain-boosting results. Often, products that advertise brain-boosting ability are nothing more than stimulants, designed to make the brain feel more awake for a short period of time, ultimately leading to a crash caused by adrenal fatigue when effects dissipate, which can leave the body feeling run-down and sluggish. The Freeman's call their shots an "Upgrade to your system" because their shots support mental clarity, by helping form connections in the brain, which leaves the body feeling awake, but not buzzed. With an impressive list of products already for sale through their website, freemansupplements.com, TruLife says selling online through major retailers is bound to be a game-changer for Freeman Formula.

Worldwide Medical Devices sales increased 1.7 percent on a reported basis in the fourth quarter and decreased 0.4 percent on an organic basis. Strong growth in Diabetes Care, led by FreeStyle Libre, was offset by reduced cardiovascular and neuromodulation procedure volumes due to the COVID-19 pandemic and lower Vascular sales in China, as a result of a new national tender program in that country. Excluding Vascular sales in China, global Vascular sales decreased 10.4 percent on an organic basis, and Medical Devices sales increased 1.4 percent on an organic basis in the fourth quarter. In Diabetes Care, strong growth in the quarter was led by FreeStyle Libre, which grew 41.3 percent on a reported basis and 37.1 percent on an organic basis.

Strong growth in the quarter was driven by demand for Abbott's portfolio of COVID-19 diagnostics tests across its rapid and lab-based platforms. Global COVID-19 testing-related sales were $2.4 billion in the fourth quarter, led by combined sales of $1.9 billion from Abbott's BinaxNOW, Panbio and ID NOW rapid testing platforms. During 2020, Abbott mobilized its teams across multiple fronts to develop and launch multiple diagnostic tests for COVID-19: U.S. Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card test, a portable, lateral flow rapid antigen test to detect COVID-19.

Worldwide Medical Devices sales increased 1.7 percent on a reported basis in the fourth quarter and decreased 0.4 percent on an organic basis. Strong growth in Diabetes Care, led by FreeStyle Libre, was offset by reduced cardiovascular and neuromodulation procedure volumes due to the COVID-19 pandemic and lower Vascular sales in China, as a result of a new national tender program in that country. Excluding Vascular sales in China, global Vascular sales decreased 10.4 percent on an organic basis, and Medical Devices sales increased 1.4 percent on an organic basis in the fourth quarter. In Diabetes Care, strong growth in the quarter was led by FreeStyle Libre, which grew 41.3 percent on a reported basis and 37.1 percent on an organic basis. For the full year, FreeStyle Libre grew 43.1 percent on a reported basis and 42.6 percent on an organic basis.

Text: DANVILLE Pa. and WILKES-BARRE Pa. and SCRANTON, Pa., Nov. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Facing down a mysterious, deadly disease, caregivers across Geisinger's hospitals have grappled with a harrowing inundation of patients battling COVID-19. A 30-minute documentary, "Five Days in May Inside the fight against COVID-19," offers a raw, emotional look at the challenges faced by teams across Geisinger during the pandemic's first peak in northeastern and central Pennsylvania. Over five days, the documentary captures the ingenuity of Geisinger's last lines of defense as they cared for over 100 critically ill patients who were stricken with the raging, unpredictable disease. "It was fast and furious. And the number of cases that came in was so quick, we just could not keep pace with it initially," said Dr. Ujwal Ratna Tuladhar, associate hospitalist at Geisinger Community Medical Center in Scranton. "When you see those numbers on the TV screen on the news it's almost numbing, but when you're here and you see these patients, it becomes real," said Dr. Paul Arkless, associate director, Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Wilkes-Barre. The documentary provides an inside look at the fight against COVID-19 through the eyes of critical care physicians, nurses and supply chain leaders at hospitals including Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Wilkes-Barre, and Geisinger Community Medical Center in Scranton. "There was fear, there were tears, there was concern and all extremely valid. I felt that along with them, because there was a lot of unknowns," said registered nurse Chad Cope, ICU operations manager at Geisinger Community Medical Center. The documentary is released at a time when Geisinger and most hospital systems across the country is grappling with the most intense surge of COVID-19 this year, which has created unprecedented capacity demands and taxed an already fatigued staff. Directed and produced by Kristin Doran, the documentary was filmed over five days in May when Geisinger believed the pandemic's spread was at its height with just over 130 patients with COVID-19 hospitalized across the system. This fall surge has seen more than double the number of hospitalizations and ICU stays than in the spring. We are currently seeing numbers as high as 200-plus inpatients with COVID-19. Geisinger is seeing a new COVID-19 admission about every hour. In recent days, Geisinger has positivity rates over 20%, and as recently as the late summer, positivity rates were under 3%. "Geisinger is now seeing record numbers of COVID activity in our communities and our hospitals. It's full-blown community spread," said Janet Tomcavage, executive vice president and chief nurse executive at Geisinger. "What you'll witness in this documentary is the real experience of our heroic staff, and evidence that we desperately need the community's continued support. If you're asking how to help please, wear a mask. This is far from over." Since March 2020, nearly 1,700 people with COVID-19 have been hospitalized at Geisinger. Nearly a quarter of them have required care in Geisinger's intensive care units, half of whom needed ventilators.

Text: SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --HelloMD, a digital health platform for non-traditional care, announced today it has returned to the U.S. market with Larry Lisser, founding team member and previously head of Canadian Operations, as CEO. Facing what were once unfavorable nationwide regulations in the US, HelloMD has operated exclusively in Canada since early 2019. Overnight, the COVID pandemic has since made telehealth the healthcare delivery model of the future. In Canada, HelloMD has scaled its medical cannabis care practice through its strategic relationship with Medical Cannabis by Shoppers Drug Mart Inc., a subsidiary of Shoppers Drug Mart Inc., Canada's leading pharmacy retailer. Medical Cannabis by Shoppers Drug Mart Inc. white-labels HelloMD's telehealth services to insure its patients can safely access proper, practitioner-led assessment, advice and authorization around the use of medical cannabis. "By deeply integrating HelloMD into our patient-onboarding process, we eliminated frictions to growth while also providing a trusted starting point for those patients, especially seniors, considering medical cannabis for the first time," says Ken Weisbrod, Vice President Business Development & Cannabis Strategy, Shoppers Drug Mart. "HelloMD has delivered what we need from a partner: dependable experiences for our patients, and the back-end work flows and processes that make it easier for the team to focus on core competencies," says Mr. Weisbrod. With medical cannabis now legal in 36 states, HelloMD is opening new markets starting with New York and Illinois,where patients can connect with licensed practitioner for advice and authorizations specific to medical cannabis. Additional care practices outside of cannabis will become available in late 2020 and early 2021. Less traditional healthcare therapies are gaining significant popularity as the population ages and more patients seek natural approaches to improve quality of life. "Whether because first and second lines of treatment don't work for some, or that others prefer less pharma-related approaches, every year millions more people with chronic symptoms go outside conventional healthcare to explore complementary or alternative medicines," says Larry Lisser, CEO. "The seismic, COVID-led shift to virtual care allows HelloMD to execute on its long-held vision to be a destination for less evidence-based healthcare that patients can trust." "While your Primary Care Provider may have little advice to offer on less traditional methods, patients with chronic pain, sleep and anxiety disorders clearly want trusted advice on making the best of alternative approaches like medical cannabis, supplements, nootropics and even psilocybin. The company's current and prospective white-label partners continue to validate our platform strategy of offering trusted educational resources, access to licensed practitioners and patient retention work flows enabling their patients to onboard and succeed with non-traditional care," Lisser added.

Text: SEATTLE, April 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Alaska Airlines and SkyNRG Americas today announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) committing to increased investment in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The MOU builds on a long history of Alaska leadership advancing SAF and partners the airline with the global SAF pioneers at SkyNRG Americas. Continue Reading Alaska Airlines and SkyNRG today sign partnership to advance sustainable aviation fuel made from municipal solid waste. "This is a critical next step in our long-term plan to reduce carbon emissions and our impact on the planet," said Diana Birkett Rakow, Alaska Airlines' vice president of public affairs and sustainability. "We have been working for more than a decade to advance SAF technology and viability, and we're excited to partner with SkyNRG's experienced team to advance truly sustainable production of SAF, develop supply in the Pacific Northwest, and engage partners for a commercially viable and scalable future for sustainable fuels." "We are thrilled to collaborate with Alaska Airlines for the production of sustainable fuels," said John Plaza, CEO of SkyNRG Americas. "Alaska Airlines is already one of the most fuel-efficient airlines in the U.S., and an ideal partner not only to support SAF demand but also to help drive necessary policy changes that will encourage development of the SAF industry across the Pacific Northwest and the nation as a whole." Under the MOU, SkyNRG Americas will initially focus on the development of dedicated SAF production facilities to supply Western U.S. airports. These facilities will use commercially available technologies that enable the use of municipal solid waste and other waste-based inputs as feedstocks, as well as incorporating green hydrogen and renewable energy for minimizing carbon intensity.

In 2020, the estimated impact of the updated purchase agreement to the guidance range provided in Lilly's earnings release on October 27, 2020 is approximately $500 million of additional revenue and approximately 25 cents of additional earnings per share. Important Information about bamlanivimabBamlanivimab has not been approved by the FDA for any use. It is not known if bamlanivimab is safe and effective for the treatment of COVID-19. Bamlanivimab is authorized under an Emergency Use Authorization only for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use of bamlanivimab under Section 564(b)(1) of the Act, 21 U.S.C 360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the authorization is terminated or revoked sooner. Healthcare providers should review the Fact Sheet for information on the authorized use of bamlanivimab and mandatory requirements of the EUA. Please see the FDA Letter of Authorization, Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers, and Fact Sheet for Patients, Parents, and Caregivers(English) (Spanish). Authorized Use and Important Safety InformationBamlanivimab is authorized for use under an EUA for treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 in adults and pediatric patients with positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing who are 12 years and older weighing at least 40 kg, and who are at high risk for progressing to severe COVID-19 and/or hospitalization. Limitations of Authorized Use Bamlanivimab is not authorized for use in patients: who are hospitalized due to COVID-19, OR who require oxygen therapy due to COVID-19, OR who require an increase in baseline oxygen flow rate due to COVID-19 in those on chronic oxygen therapy due to underlying non-COVID-19 related comorbidity. Benefit of treatment with bamlanivimab has not been observed in patients hospitalized due to COVID-19. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bamlanivimab, may be associated with worse clinical outcomes when administered to hospitalized patients requiring high flow oxygen or mechanical ventilation with COVID-19. Important Safety InformationThere are limited clinical data available for bamlanivimab. Serious and unexpected adverse events may occur that have not been previously reported with bamlanivimab use. Hypersensitivity Including Anaphylaxis and Infusion-Related ReactionsThere is a potential for serious hypersensitivity reaction, including anaphylaxis, with administration of bamlanivimab. If signs and symptoms of a clinically significant hypersensitivity reaction or anaphylaxis occur, immediately discontinue administration and initiate appropriate medications and/or supportive care. Infusion-related reactions have been observed with administration of bamlanivimab. Signs and symptoms of infusion-related reactions may include: fever, chills, nausea, headache, bronchospasm, hypotension, angioedema, throat irritation, rash including urticaria, pruritus, myalgia, dizziness. If an infusion-related reaction occurs, consider slowing or stopping the infusion and administer appropriate medications and/or supportive care. Limitations of Benefit and Potential Risk in Patients with Severe COVID-19Benefit of treatment with bamlanivimab has not been observed in patients hospitalized due to COVID-19. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bamlanivimab, may be associated with worse clinical outcomes when administered to hospitalized patients requiring high flow oxygen or mechanical ventilation with COVID-19.

Text: IRVINE, Calif., July 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Bioniz Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing first-in-class peptide therapeutics that selectively and simultaneously inhibit multiple cytokines to treat immuno-inflammatory diseases and cancers, today announced encouraging interim clinical data from its Phase 1/2 open-label clinical study of its lead product candidate BNZ-1 in patients with refractory Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (rCTCL).BNZ-1 is a multi-cytokine inhibitor targeting interleukin (IL)-2, IL-9, and IL-15, that has been successfully studied in two phase 1 studies in healthy volunteers where it demonstrated a favorable safety profile, dose proportionality and exposure-dependent pharmacodynamic activity. This study followed a phase 1/2, multi-center, open-label, dose-escalation clinical study of BNZ-1 and was designed to assess its safety and activity as a single systemic agent in rCTCL patients that have failed standard of care and other available treatment options. The study was designed to recruit a total of 15 patients across 4 doses of 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 mg/kg for intravenous weekly dosing. The primary endpoint was overall safety after 4 weeks of treatment.There was a 3-month treatment extension to further evaluate safety and clinical response. Long term extension was available for patients who benefited from BNZ-1 treatment. Whereas efficacy was observed in all cohorts, the 2 mg/kg cohort was expanded to 19 patients based on a favorable initial clinical response.Overall, BNZ-1 was well tolerated with no dose-limiting toxicities.On average, these rCTCL patients had failed 7 prior skin-directed and systemic therapies. The 2 mg/kg cohort showed signs of clinical improvement with BNZ-1 treatment, as follows: Over 80% of subjects showed some improvement in tumor burden as assessed by the modified severity weighted assessment tool (mSWAT) score in the absence of any concomitant therapy About half achieved a partial response (at least a 50% reduction from baseline) in mSWAT score 5% of subjects achieved a complete response For subjects achieving a partial or complete response, the mean duration of response was 277 days (9.2 months) at the time of the data cut off for this interim analysis Dr. Christiane Querfeld, Director of the Cutaneous Lymphoma Program at the City of Hope, who was the principal investigator of this study, stated "I am pleased with the interim results of the BNZ-1 trial in a highly refractory patient population. Based on this interim analysis, BNZ-1 appears to be safe and well tolerated in CTCL patients.In this trial, BNZ-1 has shown efficacy in heavily pretreated and/or advanced stage patients who have failed standard of care and investigational drugs available to them. As a physician, I look forward to the continued development of BNZ-1 and hope to eventually have this drug in my practice to treat and manage my CTCL patients." "Together with our investigators, we are excited to see the potential clinical benefit of BNZ-1 in highly refractory CTCL patients," said Dr.Nazli Azimi, Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bioniz Therapeutics. "We are eager to further advance the clinical development of BNZ-1 towards approval in CTCL and to evaluate its potential clinical efficacy in other dermatological diseases such as alopecia areata and vitiligo." She added "these data provide additional validation of our platform technology and our approach for multi-cytokine inhibition". Bioniz expects this study to conclude in early Q3 of this year and will submit a request for an end of phase 2 meeting in Q4.Based on the outcome of this meeting, Bioniz anticipates starting phase 3 in 1H 2021. About T-Cell Leukemia and LymphomaT-cell leukemia and lymphoma include a group of rare and often aggressive diseases, including CTCL with limited treatment options and a poor prognosis. Bioniz' product candidate BNZ-1 is a selective inhibitor of cytokines IL-2, IL-9, and IL-15, which are potent T-cell growth factors and key disease drivers in this T-cell malignancy. About BNZ-1The Company's lead development candidate, BNZ-1, is a PEGylated peptide that functions as a selective and simultaneous inhibitor of cytokines IL-2, IL-9, and IL-15. BNZ-1 is currently under investigation in a phase 1/2 clinical trial for refractory Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (rCTCL) and Large Granular Lymphocyte (LGL) Leukemia (www.clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT03239392).

Text: MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- OFT Food Safety & Injury Lawyers filed the first Oregon lawsuit in the multistate Salmonella outbreak linked to red onions produced by Thomson International, Inc. and sold throughout the United States and Canada. The lawsuit was filed in Oregon federal court (File No. 20-cv-1284) on August 3, 2020, on behalf of a 36-year-old Oregon man who suffered a harrowing illness and hospitalization. First Filed Oregon Complaint in Red Onion Salmonella Outbreak. Advanced genetic testing known as Whole Genome Sequencing revealed that the Plaintiff in the case contracted outbreak strain of Salmonella, according to the Complaint. To date, the Centers for Disease Control has identified 396 confirmed Salmonella Newport illnesses in 34 states that were caused by contaminated onions. Oregon was one of the hardest hit states with 71 confirmed illnesses. In response to the public health investigation, Thomson International, Inc. of Bakersfield, California initiated a nationwide recall of red, yellow, white, and sweet onions distributed to wholesalers, restaurants and grocery stores. OFT Food Safety Lawyer Ryan Osterholm praised the public health testing that revealed the source of the outbreak:Public health infrastructure is critically important to protecting our families from dangerous food. The WGS testing performed on my client and the other 395 people in this outbreak allowed CDC, FDA and state health departments to get this product off the shelves and quite literally save lives. It is even more important to have a robust testing system when the outbreak is caused by a product like red onions which is often mixed in with other produce items. Osterholm also noted that the outbreak-causing strain of Salmonella has proven to be particularly dangerous. "As of today, CDC reports 59 hospitalizations from red onions. I have talked to people with kidney damage, auto-immune neurological symptoms, and truly horrible blood infections. This is not just the stomach flu," Osterholm said. The Plaintiff in the Oregon case reported purchasing red onions at both a Fred Meyer grocery store and at Wal-Mart. Within days he experienced debilitating stomach cramps, bloody stool and was hospitalized.

Text: REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gynesonics, a womens healthcare company focused on the development of minimally invasive solutions for symptomatic uterine fibroids, announced today that Health Care Service Corporation (HCSC) has released a coverage policy for The Sonata Procedure. The addition of HCSC policy allows another 16 million covered lives access to this minimally invasive procedure. The Sonata technology platform integrates the first and only commercial intrauterine ultrasound system with a proprietary advanced radiofrequency ablation device, providing an incision-free, uterus-preserving, transcervical treatment for symptomatic uterine fibroids. The Sonata Treatment is a breakthrough alternative to hysterectomy and myomectomy, and can treat a wide range of fibroid types, sizes, and locations. Fibroids are treated from inside the uterus, so the Sonata Treatment requires no incisions, no tissue is surgically removed, and the uterus is preserved. I am extremely pleased to see health insurance plans, such as HCSC, recognize the impact uterine fibroids have on a womans life and the importance of providing minimally invasive treatment options. As a surgeon, it is my responsibility to determine the best treatment option based on a patients symptoms. Sonata should be made available to all women who need it. It is time local and national health plans follow suit with other carriers that have included Sonata in their coverage policies, said Charles Miller, Director of Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, IL; Professor, Obstetrics & Gynecology - Department of Clinical Sciences, Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, North Chicago, IL; and a past President of the American Association of Gynecological Laparoscopists (AAGL) and International Society of Gynecological Endoscopy (ISGE). I have seen the evolution of minimally invasive fibroid treatment options. The Sonata procedure is one that I choose for a specific patient population whose life has been impacted by this disease. Sonata is the least invasive approach to fibroids wholly or partially within the myometrium of the uterus. Minimally invasive treatments for uterine fibroids have advanced and provide women a safe and effective alternative to more invasive treatments. In the SONATA clinical trial, within three months following their Sonata Treatment, 86 percent of women experienced a reduction in heavy menstrual bleeding and 95 percent of patients experienced a reduction in menstrual bleeding by 12 months. Additionally, 50 percent of women return to normal activities the next day. The overall impact of treatment with Sonata was significant for these women, with 97 percent of women at 12 months indicating they would recommend the procedure. Women in the study experienced significant durable symptom relief through three years. The announcement of this coverage policy from HCSC is an exciting milestone for both patients and providers to expand the options available to women suffering with symptomatic uterine fibroids. Data reports nearly 80 percent of women prefer to avoid invasive surgery for fibroids and prefer a less invasive option, said Chris Owens, President and CEO of Gynesonics. The health insurance companies are listening to patients and providers, and then addressing their needs by creating access to a less invasive treatment option with the Sonata System. The addition of coverage policies nationwide reflects the robustness of the clinical evidence supporting the Sonata treatment as a safe, effective, and durable option. About Sonata System The Sonata System uses radiofrequency energy to ablate fibroids under real time sonography guidance from within the uterine cavity, utilizing the first and only intrauterine ultrasound transducer. The System includes a proprietary graphical user interface (SMART Guide), enabling the operator to target fibroids and optimize treatment. The Sonata system provides incision-free transcervical access for a uterus-preserving fibroid treatment. This intrauterine approach is designed to avoid the peritoneal cavity. The Sonata System is CE marked and is approved for sale in the European Union and the United States. About Gynesonics Gynesonics is a womens healthcare company focused on advancing womens health, by developing minimally invasive, incision-free, uterus-preserving, transcervical technologies for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Text: MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Skechers got the world dancing for a cause after dropping a TikTok dance challenge set to the track Skechers by DripReport that concluded with the lifestyle company donating one million masks to essential workers and communities in need. Skechers is partnering with the United Way of Greater Los Angeles and more charities across the country to deliver the masks directly to those who will most benefit. The one million masks, which are non-medical, triple-layer surgical style, will be donated to non-profit organizations that typically do not receive PPE from government institutions, with a focus on economic hardship. This includes community and public education centers, health and rehab outreach facilities, plus homeless shelters and food banks in the greater Los Angeles area as well as planned distributions in Chicago, New York City, Detroit and several cities in Florida and New Jersey. Weve been watching TikTok become a driving force thats keeping so many people connected during this difficult time, said Robert Greenberg, CEO of Skechers. After the viral success of DripReports Skechers on the platform, I knew we had to transform the momentum into a give-back effortone that ended up involving fans also giving back just by sharing a dance. Its a beautiful thing, and were excited to be working with the United Way and all of our partners on donating a million masks, as we all make a difference together. Throughout the pandemic, two things have flourished: creativity and care," said Elise Bulk, president and CEO of United Way of Greater Los Angeles. It's heartwarming to see fans from around the world express themselves to raise awareness in concert with the charitable efforts of a local business with a global reach like Skechers. As case numbers increase across the Los Angeles area, United Way is proud to partner with Skechers, donating masks where they can protect front-line workers and the most vulnerable people in our community. The United Way of Greater Los Angeles will be distributing Skechers masks to shelters, clinics, community centers and food banks throughout the metropolitan region from San Gabriel to Long Beach over the next month. The remaining masks will be distributed to facilities in key vulnerable communities identified and supported by charity partners across the country. The #MillionMaskChallenge campaign started with announcements by some of the most influential TikTokers including Addison Rae, Loren Gray, Spencer X, Maiko, Avani and the Croes Brothers among others with a combined following of more than 350 million. They asked their fans to create a video dancing to the hit viral track Skechers by DripReport, and for every Skechers dance shared, the Company agreed to donate up to a million Skechers face masks to essential workers and organizations within communities in need. A congratulatory video from the influencers can be seen here. From the start, I wanted to turn this moment into a movement, said DripReport, who signed with Arista Records earlier this year for the official release of Skechershis first original track. Part of my goal with the track was to show you can make whatever you wear cool and share a message about self-confidence over material things. When I originally released Skechers in January, the world was in a different place. After the track blew up, I love that Skechers and I succeeded in making it stand for so much more. The Skechers track by DripReport has been nothing short of a phenomenon. Skechers spent five weeks on top of the Spotify US Viral Chartbreaking a record set by Lil Nas Xs Old Town Road. Rolling Stone declared it the most-streamed song in history aboutsneakers and it went on to be shared more than a billion times on TikTok with millions creating and sharing their own dances. GRAMMY-nominated rapper, singer and songwriter Tyga dropped his own remix of the track in May and DripReport also released his own remix with an animated music video that heavily features Skechers. DripReport first appeared as an Instagram page for sharing remixes of popular hip-hop songs, and eventually grew in popularity with hundreds of millions of views on YouTube and social media for his content.

EXHIBIT H (Cont.) ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION - (UNAUDITED) DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS (a) Debt-to-equity ratio is calculated as total debt divided by total equity as of year end. (b) Debt-to-capital ratio is calculated as total debt divided by the sum of total debt plus total equity as of year end. (c) Book value per share is calculated as total equity divided by total outstanding shares as of year end. (d) Includes independent research and development and Aerospace product-development costs. (e) Return on sales is calculated as net earnings divided by revenue. (f) Return on equity is calculated by dividing net earnings by our average equity during the year. (g) We believe earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is a useful measure for investors because it provides another measure of our profitability and our ability to service our debt. We calculate EBITDA by adding back interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to net earnings. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA is net earnings. (h) We believe free cash flow from operations is a useful measure for investors because it portrays our ability to generate cash from our businesses for purposes such as repaying maturing debt, funding business acquisitions, repurchasing our common stock and paying dividends. We use free cash flow from operations to assess the quality of our earnings and as a key performance measure in evaluating management. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to free cash flow from operations is net cash provided by operating activities. (i) We believe return on invested capital (ROIC) is a useful measure for investors because it reflects our ability to generate returns from the capital we have deployed in our operations. We use ROIC to evaluate investment decisions and as a performance measure in evaluating management. We define ROIC as net operating profit after taxes divided by average invested capital. Net operating profit after taxes is defined as net earnings plus after-tax interest and amortization expense, calculated using the statutory federal income tax rate. Average invested capital is defined as the sum of the average debt and shareholders' equity excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss. ROIC excludes goodwill impairments and non-economic accounting changes as they are not reflective of company performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to net operating profit after taxes is net earnings.

For IDIQ contracts, we evaluate the amount of funding we expect to receive and include this amount in our estimated potential contract value. The actual amount of funding received in the future may be higher or lower than our estimate of potential contract value.

EXHIBIT H (Cont.) ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION - (UNAUDITED) DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS (a) Debt-to-equity ratio is calculated as total debt divided by total equity as of year end. (b) Debt-to-capital ratio is calculated as total debt divided by the sum of total debt plus total equity as of year end. (c) Book value per share is calculated as total equity divided by total outstanding shares as of year end. (d) Includes independent research and development and Aerospace product-development costs. (e) Return on sales is calculated as net earnings divided by revenue. (f) Return on equity is calculated by dividing net earnings by our average equity during the year. (g) We believe earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is a useful measure for investors because it provides another measure of our profitability and our ability to service our debt. We calculate EBITDA by adding back interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to net earnings. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA is net earnings. (h) We believe free cash flow from operations is a useful measure for investors because it portrays our ability to generate cash from our businesses for purposes such as repaying maturing debt, funding business acquisitions, repurchasing our common stock and paying dividends. We use free cash flow from operations to assess the quality of our earnings and as a key performance measure in evaluating management. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to free cash flow from operations is net cash provided by operating activities. (i) We believe return on invested capital (ROIC) is a useful measure for investors because it reflects our ability to generate returns from the capital we have deployed in our operations. We use ROIC to evaluate investment decisions and as a performance measure in evaluating management. We define ROIC as net operating profit after taxes divided by average invested capital. Net operating profit after taxes is defined as net earnings plus after-tax interest and amortization expense, calculated using the statutory federal income tax rate. Average invested capital is defined as the sum of the average debt and shareholders' equity excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss. ROIC excludes goodwill impairments and non-economic accounting changes as they are not reflective of company performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to net operating profit after taxes is net earnings.

For IDIQ contracts, we evaluate the amount of funding we expect to receive and include this amount in our estimated potential contract value. The actual amount of funding received in the future may be higher or lower than our estimate of potential contract value. (b) Effective December 31, 2020, we have reorganized our Mission Systems and Information Technology business units into a single reporting unit Technologies to better reflect the way we are running the business, the overlap and commonality of customers, and customer demand for end-to-end solutions melding technology, hardware and software.

Text: DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "India Electric Rickshaw Market Research Report: By Vehicle, Motor Power, Battery Capacity, Sales Channel, State - Competitive Analysis and Growth Forecast to 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. Indian electric rickshaw market at a 33.3% CAGR between 2020 and 2025. At this rate, the market size will likely rise to $1,394.2 million by 2025 from $786.2 million in 2019. Most of the people living in Indian cities are still not wealthy, which is why the need for cost-effective public transportation, especially for short distances, has always been high. Rides on electric rickshaws in the country, which are typically 1 km long, cost around INR 10 per head, which is way cheaper than sharing a two-wheeler or car or taking an autorickshaw. Moreover, if four people share an e-rickshaw for 5 km, the per person cost comes out to be INR 15, and the driver earns INR 120. Hence, another reason for the growth of the Indian electric rickshaw market is the favorable operational cost dynamics these vehicles offer to their owners. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Indian electric rickshaw market has been badly affected, as the lockdowns and curfew-like situations in infection hotspots have reduced the demand for public transportation substantially. Moreover, even after the pandemic ends, many people are not expected to opt for shared mobility, to reduce the chances of catching the virus as much as possible. This would, in turn, discourage mobility service providers from purchasing new e-rickshaws. India Electric Rickshaw Market Segmentation Analysis The passenger carrier bifurcation is expected to hold the larger share in the Indian electric rickshaw market in the years to come, on the basis of vehicle. Due to the increasing urban population driving the demand for cost-effective first- and last-mile transportation, the number of passenger carrier e-rickshaws is burgeoning on the country's roads. In the near future, the >1,500 Watts category under the motor power segment of the Indian electric rickshaw market will experience the higher value CAGR, of 36.7%. With the increasing prominence of organized automakers who are offering better-quality products with more-powerful motors, their sales will rise fast. The Indian electric rickshaw market was dominated in the past by the < 101 Ampere-hour (Ah) bifurcation, based on battery capacity. Currently, most of the operators prefer low-cost e-rickshaws, which are easily available with unorganized automakers, who account for the majority of the sales. In the years to come, the organized bifurcation, under segmentation by sales channel, is expected to become the higher Indian electric rickshaw market revenue generator. With state governments passing laws to allow the operation of such vehicles and the rollout of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) coming as a severe blow for unorganized players, organized electric rickshaw manufacturers are witnessing a rapid rise in their sales.

Text: HOUSTON, Dec. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --According to the latest economic analysis from the BBVA Research team,November's unemployment figures suggest that the labor market is losing momentum as the pandemic worsens and fiscal support wanes. Additionally, the ongoing increase in permanent unemployment reveals the damaging long-term effects of the pandemic. Both situations highlight the need for Congress to take action and adds pressure on the Fed to take more decisive action. Nonfarm payrolls rose by 245,000 in November, down from 610,000 in October and significantly lower than market expectations, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. To date, the economy has recovered 56 percent of jobs lost since the start of the pandemic, while the number of unemployed remains nearly twice the pre-pandemic levels. The analysis, co-authored by BBVA Chief Economist Nathaniel Karp and Principal Economist Marcial Nava, notes the sharp slowdown in nonfarm payrolls is a response to three key factors: a decline in government employment resulting from fewer temporary census workers, a decline in retail trade jobs, and an overall weakness in the sectors that had been supporting the recovery including professional business services, leisure and hospitality. Education and health services, manufacturing and construction continue to gain jobs at a decent pace, while transportation and warehousing posted its largest monthly gain since September 1997, supported by significant job growth in couriers and messengers.

Text: DUBLIN, May 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Smart Agriculture Market by Agriculture Type (Precision Farming, Livestock, Aquaculture, Greenhouse), Hardware (GPS, Drones, Sensors, RFID, LED Grow Lights), Software, Services, Application, Farm Size, and Geography - Global Forecast to 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The Global Smart Agriculture Market is estimated to grow from US$ 13.8 billion in 2020 to US$ 22 billion by 2025, rising at a CAGR of 9.8%. Key factors accelerating the smart agriculture market growth are the surging use of modern technologies in agriculture farms, growing income levels and demand for protein-rich aqua food, the increasing focus of farmers on livestock monitoring and disease detection, and the increasing emphasis on reducing the management cost by adopting advanced livestock monitoring products. Increasing investment and rising R&D expenditure in agriculture technology across the world and increasing the popularity of land-based recirculating aquaculture systems are expected to offer substantial opportunities for the smart agriculture market. Market for software offerings estimated to grow at highest CAGR during the forecast period The market for software offering in the smart agriculture market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2020 tp 2025 due to the substantial cost savings associated with a cloud-based software platform, as well as the rising number of farmers, growers, and ranchers in APAC, Europe, and South America adopting AI-based predictive analytics software. The software can be used for functions such as data management, data security, crop health monitoring, farm work mapping, and inventory management. The software allows farmers and growers to utilize the accumulated data of the past few years to analyze the average yield data, create map-based prescriptions, timely irrigation scheduling, and generate yield maps. Market for variable rate technology in precision farming, followed by livestock monitoring segment, to grow at the significant rate from 2020 to 2025 The wide adoption of VRT in precision farming is because of various benefits associated with it. VRT allows input application rates to be varied across fields for site-specific management of the field variability. The market for VRT is expected to grow at a higher CAGR than that for other technologies as this technology helps in applying the right amount of input at the right place on the field, which minimizes the input waste and increases land and crop productivity. Further, the growing cattle population with the increasing number of dairy farms and the rising adoption of livestock monitoring technology by dairy farmers in developing countries are expected to propel the growth of the livestock monitoring market. Market for weather tracking and forecasting applications in precision farming, and monitoring and surveillance application in aquaculture to grow at a significant rate from 2020 to 2025 The precision farming market for weather tracking and forecasting applications is expected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2020 to 2025 owing to the benefits of climate service initiatives that enable farmers to effectively deal with climate-related disasters and improve food security and decision-making in agriculture. Further, the changing weather patterns due to increasing global warming have impelled the adoption of advanced farming technologies, such as sensor-based irrigation controllers, to enhance farm productivity and crop yield.

Smart Agriculture Industry Set to Reach $22 Billion by 2025 (COVID-19 Adjusted)

DUBLIN, May 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Smart Agriculture Market by Agriculture Type (Precision Farming, Livestock, Aquaculture, Greenhouse), Hardware (GPS, Drones, Sensors, RFID, LED Grow Lights), Software, Services, Application, Farm Size, and Geography - Global Forecast to 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The Global Smart Agriculture Market is estimated to grow from US$ 13.8 billion in 2020 to US$ 22 billion by 2025, rising at a CAGR of 9.8%. Key factors accelerating the smart agriculture market growth are the surging use of modern technologies in agriculture farms, growing income levels and demand for protein-rich aqua food, the increasing focus of farmers on livestock monitoring and disease detection, and the increasing emphasis on reducing the management cost by adopting advanced livestock monitoring products. Increasing investment and rising R&D expenditure in agriculture technology across the world and increasing the popularity of land-based recirculating aquaculture systems are expected to offer substantial opportunities for the smart agriculture market. Market for software offerings estimated to grow at highest CAGR during the forecast period The market for software offering in the smart agriculture market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2020 tp 2025 due to the substantial cost savings associated with a cloud-based software platform, as well as the rising number of farmers, growers, and ranchers in APAC, Europe, and South America adopting AI-based predictive analytics software. The software can be used for functions such as data management, data security, crop health monitoring, farm work mapping, and inventory management. The software allows farmers and growers to utilize the accumulated data of the past few years to analyze the average yield data, create map-based prescriptions, timely irrigation scheduling, and generate yield maps. Market for variable rate technology in precision farming, followed by livestock monitoring segment, to grow at the significant rate from 2020 to 2025 The wide adoption of VRT in precision farming is because of various benefits associated with it. VRT allows input application rates to be varied across fields for site-specific management of the field variability. The market for VRT is expected to grow at a higher CAGR than that for other technologies as this technology helps in applying the right amount of input at the right place on the field, which minimizes the input waste and increases land and crop productivity. Further, the growing cattle population with the increasing number of dairy farms and the rising adoption of livestock monitoring technology by dairy farmers in developing countries are expected to propel the growth of the livestock monitoring market. Market for weather tracking and forecasting applications in precision farming, and monitoring and surveillance application in aquaculture to grow at a significant rate from 2020 to 2025 The precision farming market for weather tracking and forecasting applications is expected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2020 to 2025 owing to the benefits of climate service initiatives that enable farmers to effectively deal with climate-related disasters and improve food security and decision-making in agriculture. Further, the changing weather patterns due to increasing global warming have impelled the adoption of advanced farming technologies, such as sensor-based irrigation controllers, to enhance farm productivity and crop yield. The smart agriculture market for aquaculture monitoring and surveillance applications is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The high growth in this segment is predominantly driven by the increasing adoption of hardware devices such as sensors, RFID tags and readers, and livestock collars for early detection of disease in livestock, management of the herd, and identification and tracking of livestock. Smart agriculture market in APAC to grow at highest CAGR from 2020 to 2025 APAC is one of the emerging markets for smart agriculture.

The combined ratio for the second quarter of 2020 was 99.6% compared to 98.1% for the second quarter of 2019.

Net investment income increased by 36.7% to$23.8 millionfor the second quarter of 2020, compared to$17.4 million for the second quarter of 2019. The increase in net investment income was driven byunrealized gains from our limited partnerships and growth in the book value ofthe investmentportfolio of 12.7% to $2.3 billion, partially offset by a decline in investment yields on fixed maturity securities. Realized investment gains, net of realized losses, for the secondquarterof 2020 were $1.9 million compared to $0.1 million for the secondquarterof 2019 and include an increase to our credit loss allowance of $1.5 million.

Underwriting income represents the pre-tax profitability of our insurance operations and is derived by subtracting losses and LAE, and underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses from net earned premiums. We use underwriting income as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives us and users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Underwriting income should not be considered in isolation or viewed as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate underwriting income differently. Net income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 reconciles to underwriting income as follows: Three Months Ended June30 Six Months Ended June30 ($ in thousands) 2020 2019 2020 2019 Net income from continuing operations $ 17,283 $ 8,696 $ 24,094 $ 22,391 Income tax expense 4,751 2,423 6,739 6,238 Income from continuing operations before taxes 22,034 11,119 30,833 28,629 Net investment income 23,791 17,398 32,606 34,556 Realized investment gains, net 1,891 137 2,123 250 Interest and other expense, net 4,356 10,220 9,086 13,489 Underwriting income $ 708 $ 3,804 $ 5,190 $ 7,312 Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and underlying business performance, by excluding items that are not part of our underlying profitability drivers or likely to re-occur in the foreseeable future.

MORRISTOWN, N.J., Aug.10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- ProSight Global, Inc. (NYSE: PROS) (ProSight) today reported results for the second quarter of 2020. Highlights for the three months ended June 30, 2020 include: Record net income from continuing operations of $17.3 million and adjusted operating income(1) of $16.9 million with annualized return on equity ("ROE") of 12.9% and adjusted operating ROE (2) of 12.6%. Record diluted book value per share ("BVPS") of $12.84 compared to $10.73 as of March 31, 2020. Book value per share was $12.01 as of December 31, 2019. Rate execution of 10.5% excluding workers comp and 8.8% including workers comp with acceleration throughout the quarter. Combined ratio of 99.6% compared to 98.1% for the second quarter of 2019, representing the tenth consecutive quarter of underwriting profit at ProSight. Loss ratio of 61.9% compared to 62.8% (61.7% adjusted for the effect of WAQS (3)) for the second quarter of 2019. The current quarter includes 2.0 points of catastrophe losses from civil unrest vs 1.5 points in the second quarter of 2019. Expense ratio of 37.7% compared to 35.3% (36.4% adjusted for the effect of WAQS (3)) for the second quarter of 2019. The current quarter includes $1.5 million, or 83 basis points, of COVID-19-related allowance for bad debt and reflects reduced earned premium associated with the impact of COVID-19. Excluding the $1.5 million allowance for bad debt, total general and administrative expenses were down 4.2% compared to the second quarter of 2019. Gross written premiums ("GWP") for our customer segments (4) decreased in line with our expectations by 19.9% to $184.2 million compared to the second quarter of 2019, due to the impact of COVID-19 on several of our niches. Closed on new credit facility that will refinance our existing debt on favorable terms upon maturity in November 2020. From CEO & President Larry Hannon: "Our thoughts are with all of those struggling from the ongoing impact of COVID-19 and we continue tostand withour Black friends, colleagues, and members of our community that are fighting for justice and equality. AtProSight, we are thankful for the outstanding effort of our employees, and the support of our customers and distribution partners during these difficult times. "This was a strong quarter.We produced an underwriting profit, generated a double-digit ROE, achieved a new milestone in book value per share,closed on a new credit facility which will refinance our debt on attractive terms, and made progress on several initiatives that we expect will accelerate our growth and profitability in 2021.Our rate execution was excellent in the quarter and the trend has continued into the third quarter. "Our underwriting, risk selection andexpense managementallowed us toremain solidly profitable and grow our book value per share. Weare executing well and expect to have a solid second half of the year with an improvement in our gross written premium versus the second quarter." Updated Outlook: "Looking at the third quarter and balance of 2020, we have somewhat greater visibility into our near-term operating results. This update represents our best estimates as of today for the full year: Customer Segment Gross Written Premium: 5-10% decline from 2019 versus the 10-20% communicated at the end of the first quarter. This excludes the decline from the previously announced exit from excess workers compensation. Net Loss Ratio: Potential for 0 to 1.5-point increase from COVID-19 related claims and expenses in the current accident year loss ratio versus the up-to-3-point increase we communicated at the end of the first quarter. Expenses: Continued higher costs from bad debt provisioning given state-mandated deferrals of collections and cancellations coupled with the economic impact of COVID-19 on some of our insureds. Net Investment Income: We expect our fixed income portfolio, excluding limited partnerships, to yield approximately 3% for 2020, consistent with the 3% we communicated at the end of the first quarter. Net investment income volatility for the remainder of 2020 remains possible from our limited partnership investments." Results of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020: Net income from continuing operations was$17.3 million,or $0.39 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $8.7 million,or $0.22per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019.Adjusted operating income(1)was $16.9 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $14.2 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019.

GWP(3)from customer segments was$184.2 millionfor the second quarter of 2020 compared to$230.0 millionfor the second quarter of 2019, a decrease of 19.9%, primarily due to the impact of COVID-19 on our Transportation and Media & Entertainment customer segments. Other GWP(3)were $2.2million for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2019, the decrease driven by the timing ofourexit from excess workers' compensation. Underwriting income(1)was$0.7 millionfor the second quarter of 2020 compared to$3.8 millionfor the second quarter of 2019. The combined ratio for the second quarter of 2020 was 99.6% compared to 98.1% for the second quarter of 2019. The decrease in underwriting income(1)was due to reduced earned premium and bad debt expense attributable to COVID-19: The expense ratio was 37.7% for the second quarter of 2020 compared to 35.3% in the second quarter of 2019, with the increase driven by reduced earned premium,an increase in our allowance for bad debt attributable to COVID-19, and a cedingcommission benefit from our Whole Account Quota Share ("WAQS")reinsurance agreementsin the second quarter of 2019.The policy acquisition expense ratio was 23.1% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to 22.5% in the second quarter of 2019.

Net investment income increased by 36.7% to$23.8 millionfor the second quarter of 2020, compared to$17.4 million for the second quarter of 2019. The increase in net investment income was driven byunrealized gains from our limited partnerships and growth in the book value ofthe investmentportfolio of 12.7% to $2.3 billion, partially offset by a decline in investment yields on fixed maturity securities.

Underwriting income represents the pre-tax profitability of our insurance operations and is derived by subtracting losses and LAE, and underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses from net earned premiums. We use underwriting income as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives us and users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Underwriting income should not be considered in isolation or viewed as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate underwriting income differently. Net income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 reconciles to underwriting income as follows: Three Months Ended June30 Six Months Ended June30 ($ in thousands) 2020 2019 2020 2019 Net income from continuing operations $ 17,283 $ 8,696 $ 24,094 $ 22,391 Income tax expense 4,751 2,423 6,739 6,238 Income from continuing operations before taxes 22,034 11,119 30,833 28,629 Net investment income 23,791 17,398 32,606 34,556 Realized investment gains, net 1,891 137 2,123 250 Interest and other expense, net 4,356 10,220 9,086 13,489 Underwriting income $ 708 $ 3,804 $ 5,190 $ 7,312 Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and underlying business performance, by excluding items that are not part of our underlying profitability drivers or likely to re-occur in the foreseeable future.

Use your understanding of the content to express the main ideas and crucial details in a shorter, coherent, and natural sounding text. Text: DUBLIN, March 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Pharmaceutical Excipients Global Market Report 2020-30: COVID-19 Growth and Change" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The global pharmaceutical excipients market is expected to decline from $6.41 billion in 2019 to $6.12 billion in 2020 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -4.62%. Pharmaceutical Excipients Global Market Report 2020-30: COVID-19 Growth and Change provides the strategists, marketers and senior management with the critical information they need to assess the global pharmaceutical excipients market.Major players in the pharmaceutical excipients market are, Archer Daniels Midland Co., Associated British Foods, Dow Chemical Company, Evonik, Croda International Plc, Ashland, BASF SE, The Lubrizol Corporation, and Roquette Freres.The decline is mainly due to the COVID-19 outbreak that has led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of industries and other commercial activities resulting in operational challenges. The entire supply chain has been disrupted, impacting the market negatively. The market is then expected to recover and reach $7.67 billion in 2023 at a CAGR of 7.84%.The pharmaceutical excipients market consists of sales of pharmaceutical excipients and related services. The excipient is a substance, not an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) that has been evaluated for safety, and intentionally added in a drug delivery system. Excipient's major roles are to protect, support, enhance stability, bioavailability, patient acceptability, and assist in the effectiveness. The market consists of revenue generated by the companies manufacturing the pharmaceutical excipients by the sales of these excipients.In December 2018, Roquette, a global manufacturer of plant-based excipients, acquired the majority stake in Crest Cellulose for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition will increase Roquette's footprint in India and expand its portfolio. Crest Cellulose is an India-based excipient manufacturer.The pharmaceutical excipients market covered in this report is segmented by functionality into fillers and diluents; suspending and viscosity agents; coating agents; binders; flavouring agents and sweeteners; disintegrants; colorants; lubricants and glidants; others, and by type of formulation into oral formulation; topical formulation; parental formulation.Concerns related to safety and quality are expected to limit the growth of the pharmaceutical excipients market. According to the Pharmaceutical Journal, there are certain complications in children with the use of pharmaceutical drugs with excipients. For instance, the colorants used in medicine as a coloring agent may lead to sensitivity reactions and hyperactive behavior in children. Ethanol is another solvent that is widely used in an oral liquid formulation, the use of ethanol mixed medicine for children may have a risk of acute intoxication when overdose, and it may lead chronic toxicity with long term use. Concerns related to safety and quality are expected to limit the growth of the pharmaceutical excipients market.The increase in research and development in the pharmaceutical formulation to enhance the production process and product quality by using multi-functional excipients is a trend shaping the market. Excipients play a significant role in helping pharmaceutical manufacturers better support patients by increasing compliance and treatment effectiveness. For instance, Evonik's newly launched EUDRAGIT FS 100 is a solid version of the existing EUDRAGIT FS 30 D. This new multi-functional version allows pharmaceutical companies to use the polymer in many new applications, such as hot-melt extrusion, solvent spray-drying, and solvent coating, which was impossible to achieve in past decades where only the aqueous version was available.The global surge in the sale of generic drugs contributed to the growth of the pharmaceutical excipients market. Generic drugs are alternatives to the marketed brand name drug in the same dosage form, safety, strength, and route of administration and quality. According to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), India is the largest provider of generic medicines; the country's generic drugs account for 20% of the global generic drug exports. Indian pharmaceutical companies received 300 generic drug approvals in the USA during 2017. The surge in the demand for generic drugs drives the pharmaceutical excipients market.Key Topics Covered: 1. Executive Summary 2. Pharmaceutical Excipients Market Characteristics 3.

For instance, the colorants used in medicine as a coloring agent may lead to sensitivity reactions and hyperactive behavior in children. Ethanol is another solvent that is widely used in an oral liquid formulation, the use of ethanol mixed medicine for children may have a risk of acute intoxication when overdose, and it may lead chronic toxicity with long term use. Concerns related to safety and quality are expected to limit the growth of the pharmaceutical excipients market.The increase in research and development in the pharmaceutical formulation to enhance the production process and product quality by using multi-functional excipients is a trend shaping the market. Excipients play a significant role in helping pharmaceutical manufacturers better support patients by increasing compliance and treatment effectiveness. For instance, Evonik's newly launched EUDRAGIT FS 100 is a solid version of the existing EUDRAGIT FS 30 D. This new multi-functional version allows pharmaceutical companies to use the polymer in many new applications, such as hot-melt extrusion, solvent spray-drying, and solvent coating, which was impossible to achieve in past decades where only the aqueous version was available.The global surge in the sale of generic drugs contributed to the growth of the pharmaceutical excipients market. Generic drugs are alternatives to the marketed brand name drug in the same dosage form, safety, strength, and route of administration and quality. According to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), India is the largest provider of generic medicines; the country's generic drugs account for 20% of the global generic drug exports. Indian pharmaceutical companies received 300 generic drug approvals in the USA during 2017. The surge in the demand for generic drugs drives the pharmaceutical excipients market.Key Topics Covered: 1. Executive Summary 2. Pharmaceutical Excipients Market Characteristics 3.

Text: CINCINNATI, May 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Clubessential, the leading provider of full-suite and mobile-first private club management software and payment services, today announced a solution suite enabling private clubs to interact with members digitally, while also bringing value virtually. This touchless suite is to assist the many clubs that have recently been forced to pivot their operations around new government restrictions. For many clubs, investment decisions have historically centered on facilities and capital equipment, but over the last 6 weeks, private clubs have had to innovate new operational processes that balance the safety of their members with the connection and personal experience those same members desire. Using software and mobile-first technology as a critical success factor in delivering this experience is evident, and one that will persist well beyond the temporary changes clubs are currently managing. Take-out dining and restricted golf experiences are examples of this response. But as clubs prepare to reopen their doors, there's a need for technology that will allow them to manage their operations and deliver member experiences in a phased and controlled manner. With over twenty years serving private clubs, Clubessential's strong history and mobile-first approach are creating a smooth transition for its customers as they deploy new touch-less experiences. "We want your members to view your club as a valued service that they can't do without. We look at our business and think the same about you,"said Lynn Mangan, President of Clubessential. "We want our technology to deliver solutions that allow you to create members for life. Easy, functional, practical and innovative to provide the best member experiences possible and run your club with ease and precision. These are solutions that will benefit your clubs and members long-term." Clubessential's new Essential Suite empowers clubs to make data-driven decisions and develop a safe touchless club experience, while delivering value that enables members to pursue and enjoy the club lifestyle anywhere, with the frictionless user-experiences they've come to expect. Solutions include Mobile Point of Sale for tee times and outdoor dining, Mobile Ordering for to-go, curbside pick-up, ready-to-make meals and grocery ordering. The Essential Suite contains self-serve kiosks and check-in for golf and other activities, reservations for restricting and tracking capacity from the course to courts, fitness center and pool. In addition to its flexible tee sheets, the suite provides clubs new ways to service their members through an online retail ordering. The Essential Suite also supports secure online and touchless payments. From distance dining, to remote community engagements, to new restrictions in reservations, these solutions enable clubs to safely address this new reality while still delivering the lifestyle, value, and brand of the club. General Managers can access compliance reporting on space usage and contact tracing, benchmark and compare trends in spend, club utilization, online ordering, online booking, and timeliness of payments to understand member engagement and make decisions on club accessibility and operations. They can control the number of members utilizing courses, courts, pools, and fitness centers, and build in time for sanitizing through configured reservation booking. They can expand outdoor dining, shift large annual club events to take-and-go virtual activities, and communicate important reopening information through the preferred channel of their members. Greg Gilg, General Manager at Field Club of Omahaexemplifies a club that's pivoted in this new environment. "We had to identify a way to deliver what our long-time members have come to expect while also allocating resources to the new and exciting things our newer members demand," explained Greg. "This suite provides the tools our team needs to enhance the member experience, and our members are responding. 60% of our members are using mobile for activities like to-go orders, groceries, and Mother's Day Spa Baskets." Members have the ability to exercise social distancing through online ordering, self check-in, and booking family reservations. And for those members not ready to return to the club immediately, they can order their favorite food to-go, have groceries delivered, manage their bills and payments, and participate in virtual club events like online wine tastings, golf instruction, and fitness classes. The Essential Suite allows members to engage with their club based on their level of comfort well beyond state mandates. Members can now connect and access the club, both on and off grounds, in ways that are responsible and intuitive. This allows clubs to engage and retain their members, as well as nurture new prospective members. Through these virtually connected experiences, General Managers can also make operational decisions with the safety of members and the financial health of the club in mind. You can learn more about the Essential Suite for your club here.

Clubessential Doubles-Down on Mobile With Their Essential Suite for Private Clubs to Provide Safer Member Experiences The Essential Suite Allows Private Clubs to Provide Safe Member Experiences and Deliver Virtual Value to its Members

CINCINNATI, May 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Clubessential, the leading provider of full-suite and mobile-first private club management software and payment services, today announced a solution suite enabling private clubs to interact with members digitally, while also bringing value virtually. This touchless suite is to assist the many clubs that have recently been forced to pivot their operations around new government restrictions. For many clubs, investment decisions have historically centered on facilities and capital equipment, but over the last 6 weeks, private clubs have had to innovate new operational processes that balance the safety of their members with the connection and personal experience those same members desire. Using software and mobile-first technology as a critical success factor in delivering this experience is evident, and one that will persist well beyond the temporary changes clubs are currently managing. Take-out dining and restricted golf experiences are examples of this response. But as clubs prepare to reopen their doors, there's a need for technology that will allow them to manage their operations and deliver member experiences in a phased and controlled manner. With over twenty years serving private clubs, Clubessential's strong history and mobile-first approach are creating a smooth transition for its customers as they deploy new touch-less experiences. "We want your members to view your club as a valued service that they can't do without. We look at our business and think the same about you,"said Lynn Mangan, President of Clubessential. "We want our technology to deliver solutions that allow you to create members for life. Easy, functional, practical and innovative to provide the best member experiences possible and run your club with ease and precision. These are solutions that will benefit your clubs and members long-term." Clubessential's new Essential Suite empowers clubs to make data-driven decisions and develop a safe touchless club experience, while delivering value that enables members to pursue and enjoy the club lifestyle anywhere, with the frictionless user-experiences they've come to expect. Solutions include Mobile Point of Sale for tee times and outdoor dining, Mobile Ordering for to-go, curbside pick-up, ready-to-make meals and grocery ordering. The Essential Suite contains self-serve kiosks and check-in for golf and other activities, reservations for restricting and tracking capacity from the course to courts, fitness center and pool. In addition to its flexible tee sheets, the suite provides clubs new ways to service their members through an online retail ordering. The Essential Suite also supports secure online and touchless payments. From distance dining, to remote community engagements, to new restrictions in reservations, these solutions enable clubs to safely address this new reality while still delivering the lifestyle, value, and brand of the club. General Managers can access compliance reporting on space usage and contact tracing, benchmark and compare trends in spend, club utilization, online ordering, online booking, and timeliness of payments to understand member engagement and make decisions on club accessibility and operations. They can control the number of members utilizing courses, courts, pools, and fitness centers, and build in time for sanitizing through configured reservation booking. They can expand outdoor dining, shift large annual club events to take-and-go virtual activities, and communicate important reopening information through the preferred channel of their members. Greg Gilg, General Manager at Field Club of Omahaexemplifies a club that's pivoted in this new environment. "We had to identify a way to deliver what our long-time members have come to expect while also allocating resources to the new and exciting things our newer members demand," explained Greg. "This suite provides the tools our team needs to enhance the member experience, and our members are responding. 60% of our members are using mobile for activities like to-go orders, groceries, and Mother's Day Spa Baskets." Members have the ability to exercise social distancing through online ordering, self check-in, and booking family reservations. And for those members not ready to return to the club immediately, they can order their favorite food to-go, have groceries delivered, manage their bills and payments, and participate in virtual club events like online wine tastings, golf instruction, and fitness classes. The Essential Suite allows members to engage with their club based on their level of comfort well beyond state mandates. Members can now connect and access the club, both on and off grounds, in ways that are responsible and intuitive. This allows clubs to engage and retain their members, as well as nurture new prospective members. Through these virtually connected experiences, General Managers can also make operational decisions with the safety of members and the financial health of the club in mind. You can learn more about the Essential Suite for your club here. Clubessential Clubessential provides a full suite of membership and club management solutions to country, golf, city, yacht and other private clubs. The Clubessential Suite consists of website, tee times, mobile apps, accounting, POS, CRM, payments and other software solutions that help over 1,300 private clubs better attract, engage and retain their members.

Text: PLANO, Texas, March 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --Community Hospital Corporation (CHC) will assist substantially more not-for-profit hospitals with Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNAs) and implementation plans this year. CHC expects a significant increase this year over the previous two years because many CHC client hospitals are due to complete their CHNA in 2022. Another factor driving CHC's CHNA increase is that hospitals are more likely to outsource the work this year because of the pandemic's impact on their operations. A CHNA is a study of a hospital's community that focuses on specific health and social needs that could have a major impact on the community's health. The federal government's Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act requires not-for-profits to submit CHNAs once every three years in order to maintain their tax-exempt status. The deadline to submit a CHNA is the last day of a hospital's taxable year, although industry trade groups have recently requested the government to grant an extension for facilities with difficulty meeting the deadline due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For nearly a year, hospitals have been forced to shift their operational priorities in order to meet the challenges of providing care to patients infected with COVID-19 and other health-related problems. That has resulted in hospitals having less time and fewer internal resources to commit to non-pandemic activities like CHNAs. CHC is fully prepared to offer its assistance to hospitals struggling to complete a CHNA and develop plans to improve healthcare for their communities. CHC has conducted more than 100 compliant CHNAs and implementation plans across many states for community health centers and critical access hospitals to specialty hospitals, regional studies and large multi-hospital systems. CHC Vice President of Planning Lisette Hudson commented: "Hospitals are stretched very thin as their primary focus is providing the best quality care possible to their patients during this unprecedented public health crisis. Many smaller community hospitals may be hard-pressed to complete and submit CHNAs in a timely manner, as their operations are almost entirely directed toward overcoming the challenges of the pandemic.

Text: GUTTENBERG, N.J., April 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- NRIA of Secaucus, NJ announced today that its newest residential complex Green Roof Condominium at 62-68 69th Street in Guttenberg, NJ is nearing a sellout, with 31 of the 39 units under contract even with COVID-19 challenges looming. NRIA has effectively used technology to adhere to government mandates and is conducting virtual tours and closings in place of face-to-face interaction. Bi-level condo at Green Roof in Guttenberg, NJ Green Roof is a six-story newly constructed luxury condo building by the award-winning developer NRIA and the first condo building to be built in Guttenberg in over a decade. The one-bedroom condo residences, some with dens, all have modern open floor plans and glass-railed balconies. Amenities include a dramatic Manhattan-facing rooftop terrace with outdoor grilling kitchen, lounge area, and adjoining indoor club room with TVs, fireplace soft seating, and catering kitchen. There's also a private parking garage with charging stations. Qualified buyers receive lender's assistance in the form of down payment and closing cost grants. That means it's possible to purchase a $400,000 condo at Green Roof with just $2,000 out-of-pocket. Combine these incentives with historically low-interest rates, and it's a rare buying opportunity that will pay dividends for years to come. Most of the Green Roof buyers are first time home buyers and qualify for the buyer's assist program. A few are the first in their families to own a home. All buyers receive a 5-year tax abatement."Many young people I meet are resigned to renting because the money down is daunting, and there are other pressing obligations like student loan payments," said Rich Stabile, a Senior Vice President and Project Manager for NRIA. "When I tell them about our incentives at Green Roof and show them how easy homeownership can be, they can't believe it.""Green Roof is a mega affordable condominium complex right in the heart of Guttenberg," said Ivel Turner, who recently bought there. "It's an easy commute to New York City by ferry or train. I love my condo and the area and highly recommend it to anyone interested in buying."Green Roof's beautifully appointed residences feature both single level and duplex-style living. The spacious floorplans range from 637 square feet to 1,397 square feet and are priced from $334,000 to just over $800,000. Every unit features 9-foot high ceilings, an open floor plan, contemporary hardwood-style flooring, and a European-style kitchen with modern cabinetry, Quartz waterfall edge countertops, and stainless-steel appliances. Units come standard with washer and dryer, quiet remote, multi-zone HVAC, LED lighting, and state-of-the-art retractable 110 volt/USB charging station. Guttenberg, NJ is located just 12.9 miles from Manhattan and is one of the smallest and most densely populated municipality in New Jersey with a charming downtown area, just a block from Green Roof. The location scores a 93 on Walk Score's walkability scale with nearby shuttle service to the Light Rail in Hoboken or the Edgewater Ferry Landing as well as bus service to Manhattan.Green Roof marks NRIA's entrance into Hudson County, with more properties to come in Guttenberg and the surrounding towns.
