Text: CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--More than 380,000 babies1 in 10are born preterm in the U.S.i and many of these littlest fighters require extra help from the start. In honor of World Prematurity Day, Pampers is partnering with March of Dimes to bring 40,000 books and educational resources to NICUs across the country, as part of its ongoing commitment to care for the happy, healthy development of every baby. As a continuation of the Pampers Bright Beginnings Reading initiative announced last month, Pampers will provide more than 65 March of Dimes NICU Family Support programs with books and helpful reading tips to bring awareness of the developmental benefits of reading to babies from the very beginning. Through their longstanding partnership, Pampers and March of Dimes will work together to reach more than 35,000 families annually. "March of Dimes NICU Family Support is thrilled to be partnering with Pampers Bright Beginnings to bring the joy of reading into NICUs across the nation," said Heather Reimer, Senior Director, NICU Initiatives, March of Dimes. "We know how vital early reading is for our littlest fighters, so being able to provide NICU babies and their families with a way to help create a moment of bonding and development is such a privilege. We look forward to continuing our longstanding partnership with Pampers and making a difference in the lives of thousands of families together." Studies show that infants admitted to the NICU are at an increased risk for neurodevelopmental deficits due to prematurity or illness, poor language exposure as well as impaired parent-infant bonding. Reading aloud to babies, beginning from birth, can mitigate this issue. Dr. Viral G Jain, MD, FAAP, a physician-scientist, neonatologist and Assistant Professor in Pediatrics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and a member of Pampers Bright Beginnings Advisory Council, recently conducted a large-scale studyii to support this notion. He found that when parents were shown by a healthcare professional how to read with their baby, it doubled the number of parents reading to their babies while in the NICU. Benefits were especially strong among parents who did not themselves enjoy reading aloud, who are at high risk for lower reading frequency and quality, and in turn lower language exposure. These parents were five times more likely to read in the NICU and three times more likely to continue reading aloud at home. These improvements in reading behaviors were likely mediated by reduced parental stress, enhanced bonding between parent and baby and positive parent-infant interactions. Reading to baby for even fifteen minutes a day can make a lasting impact on their brain development, especially during the first few months of life when babies are developing key areas of the brain, said Sarah Pasquinucci, Senior Communications Director, P&G North America Baby Care and mother of two. Reading to a baby from birth is not only vital to their development, but its also a meaningful activity that promotes quality time and bonding between baby and parent. Thats why were honored to be partnering with March of Dimes to bring books and educational resources directly to NICU families, so they can experience the joys of reading with baby from the very beginning. Pampers and March of Dimes continue to evolve their partnership to find new ways to support the healthy, happy development of babies. Earlier this year, March of Dimes assisted Pampers during the review process after Pampers announced it would be donating $400,000 in NICU Connectivity Grants to select hospitals throughout North America to help keep families connected when it matters most. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many hospitals were forced to restructure their family presence protocols, resulting in a reduction of in-person time for many families and their loved ones in the NICU. With the help of Pampers donation, select eligible hospitals across North America have been able to acquire the resources and capabilities they need to keep families and babies connected when it matters most. The addition of these resources, including technology like cameras and tablets, has allowed parents to talk, read, sing and stay connected to their baby every day, even when they cannot be physically together. The use of this technology has made a world of difference for our families who have had to be separated during this COVID pandemic, said Kristin Chipoco, Nurse Manager at White Plains Hospital, a selected grant recipient. During the height of the pandemic one of our babies was separated from both of their parents due to the parents testing positive for COVID. Over the course of the next two weeks these parents were able to see and interact with their babies using Facetime. In addition, the parents were able to virtually see and meet the nurses who were caring for their baby each and every day.This technology allowed a bond to grow and foster between both these parents and their babies and the nursing staff involved, even though the parents were never allowed to set foot in the NICU.This technology helped ease some of the fear and anxiety of these brand new parents who had a baby admitted to NICU during such an already stressful period. Pampers believes a babys earliest days are essential towards shaping a bright beginning and is committed to supporting their happy, healthy development from the start. Through the Bright Beginnings initiative, Pampers is proud to continue to serve babies and their families by removing barriers that hinder early success and development and enhancing access to tools and resources to ensure the success of generations to come.

In addition, the parents were able to virtually see and meet the nurses who were caring for their baby each and every day.This technology allowed a bond to grow and foster between both these parents and their babies and the nursing staff involved, even though the parents were never allowed to set foot in the NICU.This technology helped ease some of the fear and anxiety of these brand new parents who had a baby admitted to NICU during such an already stressful period.

The Global Honeycomb Core Materials market accounted for $2.22 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach $5.19 billion by 2027 growing at a CAGR of 11.2% during the forecast period. Increasing demand for lightweight materials for fuel efficiency is driving the growth of the market. However, significant cost of the products is likely to inhibit market growth. Honeycomb core are used to manufacture composite sandwich structures. It provides stiffness to the structure with minimal weight gain. Honeycombs utilize far less material than a solid panel but still provide exceptional strength, making it a highly economical option for many applications. In addition, the strength of the honeycomb increases with its thickness, meaning it is well suited to structures needing considerable core materials. Lightweight honeycomb solutions are used in a wide range of industries, including the aerospace, marine, military, construction and automotive markets. Based on the product type, the nomex segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth due to its outstanding strength-to-weight ratio. The rigid and thin Nomex sheet structures are used to build sturdy yet lightweight honeycomb sandwich composite panels. These panels are used in aircraft parts such as flooring panels, internal walls, engine nacelles, helicopter blades, and tail booms. Nomex honeycomb composites are also used in the manufacture of boats to help provide buoyancy that enhances speed.

Text: CARLSBAD, Calif., Aug. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- NTN Buzztime, Inc. (NYSE American: NTN) reported financial resultsfor the second quarter ended June 30, 2020. "The negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our customers was abrupt and substantial, and it had a ripple-effect on our business. As a result, we took action to significantly reduce our operating costs," saidAllen Wolff, CEO. "We have been focused on cash management and exploring and evaluating strategic alternatives." Financial Results For the second quarter 2020, total revenues were $754,000, compared to $5.2 million for the second quarter of 2019. The decrease reflects reduced site count and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the company's business as a substantial number of the bars and restaurants that subscribe to the company's network suspended their subscriptions for at least a portion of the current year period. Through corporate restructuring and cost reductions, second quarter 2020 operating expense decreased to $2.4 million, from $5.2 million for the second quarter of 2019. Second quarter 2020 net loss attributable to common shareholders was $2.0 million, including $100,000 in capitalized software impairments, or $0.69 per share, compared to $98,000, or $0.03 per share, for the prior year quarter. Liquidity Cash, cash equivalents and unrestricted cash was $2.2 million at June 30, 2020, compared to $2.2 million at March 31, 2020 and $3.2 million at December 31, 2019.In April 2020, the company received $1.6 million under the Paycheck Protection Program of the CARES Act. At June 30, 2020, the principal balance of the company's term loan with its primary lender was $1.6 million, and working capital was $894,000. For additional information regarding the company's liquidity and capital resources, please see the company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q expected to be filed with the SEC today. The company will not be hosting an earnings call for the recently completed quarter. The company's limited resources are being directed toward managing operations and liquidity in light of the substantial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business and on exploring and evaluating strategic alternatives. No assurance are, or can be given, that a definitive agreement for a strategic transaction will result from the company's strategic process, or that even if such agreement is entered into, that the potential transaction will be consummated. Forward-looking StatementsThis release may contain forward-looking statements that reflect management's current views of future events and operations, including challenges that we and our customers will face related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the potential meaningfulness of our product platform to our customers as they or if they re-open their businesses.

Text: PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NTT Research, Inc., a division of NTT (TYO:9432), today announced that its Cryptography and Information Security (CIS) Lab has reached a joint research agreement with Stanford University. The four-year agreement with Stanford covers basic and fundamental research topics of cryptography and blockchain. The principal investigator will be Dr. Dan Boneh, professor of computer science and electrical engineering and co-director of the Stanford Computer Security Lab at Stanford University. One of three divisions at NTT Research, the CIS Lab is engaged in basic research of cryptography with the potential for long-term impact. Directed by NTT Fellow Tatsuaki Okamoto, the CIS Lab is focused on foundational research problems in cryptography and blockchain. NTT Research Distinguished Scientist Brent Waters, who heads the CIS Labs cryptography research group, as well as NTT Research Senior Scientist Hoeteck Wee, will be involved in the cryptography research with Stanford. Dr. Shinichiro Matsuo, a research professor at Georgetown University who heads the CIS Labs blockchain group at NTT Research, will be involved in the joint research with Stanford on blockchain. Professor Boneh, who also heads the applied cryptography group at Stanford, focuses his research on applications of cryptography to computer security. His work includes cryptosystems with novel properties, security for mobile devices, web security and cryptoanalysis. He is the author of more than 150 publications in the field and a recipient of the 2014 Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) prize (for ground-breaking contributions to the development of pairing-based cryptography and its application in identity-based encryption), the 2013 Godel prize, the RSA award in mathematics, and six best paper awards. In 2016, Dr. Boneh was elected to the National Academy of Engineering. The NTT Research CIS Lab is tremendously fortunate to be engaging with some of the worlds leading academics, as we continue to focus on foundational research problems, said CIS Lab Director Okamoto. We are looking forward to seeing the collaboration between Professor Boneh and his counterparts in the CIS Lab. The scope of work for the four-year agreement with Stanford includes several important areas of basic research in cryptography and blockchain. This is a great opportunity to collaborate with a skilled group of computer scientists and a team that is willing to address questions that have yet to be answered, said Professor Boneh. We are eager to get started. NTT Research actively explores opportunities to work with experts in its three fields of study. Earlier this year, it announced a collaboration with Stanford Universitys Department of Applied Physics on a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded initiative into Coherent Ising Machines (CIMs). In addition, last fall NTT Research entered an Industrial Partnership between its CIS Lab and the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing at UC Berkeley; reached joint research agreements between its CIS Lab and UCLA and Georgetown; set up joint research agreements between its Physics and Informatics (PHI) Lab and six universities (CalTech, Cornell, Michigan, MIT, Stanford and Swinburne), one US Federal Agency (NASAs Ames Research Center) and one private quantum computing software company (1QBit); and reached a joint research agreement between its Medical and Informatics (MEI) Lab and the Technical University of Munich (TUM). About NTT Research NTT Research opened its Palo Alto offices in July 2019 as a new Silicon Valley startup to conduct basic research and advance technologies that promote positive change for humankind.

Text: SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eaze, Californias largest marketplace for legal cannabis, has entered the chat. Today, Eaze launches its first non-fungible token (NFT) to put its signature moonman image in the hands of the - ahem - highest bidder in celebration of 4/20s golden anniversary. The NFT, which features NBA champion and nationally-recognized cannabis advocate Matt Barnes, is for sale on OpenSea. All proceeds from the sale will go to National Expungement Week (N.E.W.), a POC-powered organization that provides access to relief, equity, and opportunity in communities affected by the War on Drugs. 2021 is the 50th anniversary of 4/20 and theres no better way to commemorate this milestone than supporting social equity, said Sheena Shiravi, vice president of marketing at Eaze. Like cannabis, NFTs are changing how we all think about commerce and culture, so this made a ton of sense to us. And who doesnt want Matt Barnes as a digital moonman? The one-of-a-kind NFT features one of Eazes signature creative assets: the smokin hot moonman, juxtaposed with Matt Barnes and a special message to celebrate cannabis highest holiday. Eazes moonman is featured prominently in its award-winning advertising, which was recognized with a Clio Cannabis Award. Bidding starts today at .1715 WETH (~$420) and closes on 4/20 at 11:59pm PT. "On behalf of the N.E.W. leadership team, we are elated at the opportunity to form a relationship with EAZE and deeply appreciative for the kind donation to our organization, said Torie Marshall, founder of N.E.W. These funds will help to support and uplift the expungement work that N.E.W. provides 365 days a year." This project builds on Eazes commitment to delivering good with the goods. Eazes annual Momentum business accelerator provides $50,000 grants and a 12-week business development curriculum to under-represented and social equity founders. To-date, BIPOC-owned brands have sold over $4 million in products on Eazes Social Equity Menu. Eazes other social impact work includes a partnership with Code for America to help clear 250,000 low-level criminal offenses; a permanent 25% discount for U.S. veterans; and partnerships with Success Centers SF and the San Francisco AIDS project, among others.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eaze, Californias largest marketplace for legal cannabis, has entered the chat. Today, Eaze launches its first non-fungible token (NFT) to put its signature moonman image in the hands of the - ahem - highest bidder in celebration of 4/20s golden anniversary. The NFT, which features NBA champion and nationally-recognized cannabis advocate Matt Barnes, is for sale on OpenSea. All proceeds from the sale will go to National Expungement Week (N.E.W.), a POC-powered organization that provides access to relief, equity, and opportunity in communities affected by the War on Drugs. 2021 is the 50th anniversary of 4/20 and theres no better way to commemorate this milestone than supporting social equity, said Sheena Shiravi, vice president of marketing at Eaze. Like cannabis, NFTs are changing how we all think about commerce and culture, so this made a ton of sense to us. And who doesnt want Matt Barnes as a digital moonman? The one-of-a-kind NFT features one of Eazes signature creative assets: the smokin hot moonman, juxtaposed with Matt Barnes and a special message to celebrate cannabis highest holiday. Eazes moonman is featured prominently in its award-winning advertising, which was recognized with a Clio Cannabis Award. Bidding starts today at .1715 WETH (~$420) and closes on 4/20 at 11:59pm PT. "On behalf of the N.E.W. leadership team, we are elated at the opportunity to form a relationship with EAZE and deeply appreciative for the kind donation to our organization, said Torie Marshall, founder of N.E.W. These funds will help to support and uplift the expungement work that N.E.W. provides 365 days a year." This project builds on Eazes commitment to delivering good with the goods. Eazes annual Momentum business accelerator provides $50,000 grants and a 12-week business development curriculum to under-represented and social equity founders. To-date, BIPOC-owned brands have sold over $4 million in products on Eazes Social Equity Menu.

Text: NEW YORK, Nov. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --This press release provides shareholders of Cohen&Steers Limited Duration Preferred and Income Fund, Inc. (NYSE: LDP) (the "Fund") with information regarding the sources of the distribution to be paid on November 30, 2020 and cumulative distributions paid fiscal year-to-date. In December 2016, the Fund implemented a managed distribution policy in accordance with exemptive relief issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The managed distribution policy seeks to deliver the Fund's long-term total return potential through regular monthly distributions declared at a fixed rate per common share. The policy gives the Fund greater flexibility to realize long-term capital gains throughout the year and to distribute those gains on a regular monthly basis to shareholders. The Board of Directors of the Fund may amend, terminate or suspend the managed distribution policy at any time, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund's shares. The Fund's monthly distributions may include long-term capital gains, short-term capital gains, net investment income and/or return of capital for federal income tax purposes. Return of capital includes distributions paid by the Fund in excess of its net investment income and net realized capital gains and such excess is distributed from the Fund's assets. A return of capital is not taxable; rather, it reduces a shareholder's tax basis in his or her shares of the Fund. The amount of monthly distributions may vary depending on a number of factors, including changes in portfolio and market conditions. At the time of each monthly distribution, information will be posted to cohenandsteers.com and mailed to shareholders in a concurrent notice. However, this information may change at the end of the year because the final tax characteristics of the Fund's distributions cannot be determined with certainty until after the end of the calendar year. Final tax characteristics of all of the Fund's distributions will be provided on Form 1099-DIV, which is mailed after the close of the calendar year. The following table sets forth the estimated amounts of the current distribution and the cumulative distributions paid this fiscal year-to-date from the sources indicated. All amounts are expressed per common share.

The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with 'yield' or 'income'. The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this Notice are only estimates, are likely to change over time, and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for accounting and tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations.

In addition, the Fund's Average Annual Total Return for the five-year period ending October 31, 2020 is set forth below. Shareholders should note the relationship between the Average Annual Total Return with the Fund's Current Annualized Distribution Rate for 2020.

The Fund's NAV is calculated as the total market value of all the securities and other assets held by the Fund minus the total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares outstanding. While NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund's investment performance, it does not measure the value of a shareholder's individual investment in the Fund. The value of a shareholder's investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund's market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the Fund's shares in the open market.
