PITTSBURGH, May 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --Electrical contractors and do-it-yourselfers spend considerable time and energy on electrical connections for power, cable and phone installations using tape and screw caps. Interested in simplifying the process, an inventor from Wilmington, Ohio, modified the design of existing junction boxes. He developed the patent pending ELECTRICAL WIRING JUNCTION BOX to provide electricians with a simple, fast and secure means of making electrical connections. As such, it eliminates the involvement of twisted wire and insulated screw cap connector combinations and prevents wire braids or ends from touching each other. Thus, it improves safety and productivity for electrical wiring workers and saves them time and effort as well. It is also durable, versatile, practical and easy to use. Other appealing features include convenience, effectiveness and as affordable price. The original design was submitted to the Cincinnati sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.

In just a few weeks with the Theatro solution, WANAAHA Casino has experienced significant improvements to guest service, team collaboration and productivity. WANAAHA Casino, owned and operated by the Bishop Paiute Tribe, is located at the foot of the Eastern Sierra mountain range and is the only 24-hour, Las Vegas style casino in the area. Prior to Theatro, WANAAHA struggled with the operational inefficiencies common with a dispersed, disconnected team, including the ability to foster a superior customer experience.

These challenges were further exacerbated by COVID-19. The guest experience is a critical factor for the success of any casino, but their health and safety are paramount during the COVID-19 pandemic, said Gary Murrey, General Manager, WANAAHA Casino. Walkie-talkies simply arent as effective and efficient in enabling new processes and procedures or answering questions and serving guests as we need to be.

RESTON, Va., July 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As companies across the U.S. assess a potential return to office environments amid the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, new research from Comscore (Nasdaq: SCOR), a trusted partner for planning, transacting and evaluating media across platforms, reveals the extraordinary engagement levels of conferencing and collaboration tools that fueled the country's work-from-home experiment over the past several months. Comscore found that in May 2020, U.S. audiences spent a total of six billion minutes using top collaboration tools (Zoom.us, Microsoft Teams, Webex.com, Gottomeeting.com, Slack.com, Telegram.org, Skype.com, Monday.com). More than 109 million users engaged with these select collaboration platforms in that same month, totaling 41 percent of the total U.S. internet audience. This is up from a reach of 9.9 percent in May 2019, which represents a 322 percent increase in reach year-over-year. As businesses have adapted to the technology and communications needs of an increasingly remote workforce, two providers emerged: Zoom.us and Microsoft Teams. Unique visitors for Zoom.us and Microsoft Teams increased by 813 percent and 943 percent, respectively, year-over-year (May 2019 vs. May 2020). Though Zoom and Microsoft Teams have the deepest user penetration of collaboration platforms in the U.S., users often engage with multiple platforms to fulfill certain needs. For example, in May 2020, 40 percent of Microsoft Teams users also used Zoom.us, likely because both platforms provide a distinct user experience leading to heavy cross-over between the two. Comscore will continue to monitor these trends and provide ongoing insights on itsCoronavirus Insights Hub.

"Our new Civic Application for Occupational Licensing is a quick-to-implement cloud solution that removes many of the complex and cumbersome processes that can be challenging for licensees, and helps government agencies streamline and accelerate every step of the process to enhance community health and safety and increase employee productivity. The COVID-19 pandemic highlights the importance of system flexibility as occupational licensing policies are flexed to quickly accommodate expedited temporary licensing for retired, out-of-state, and pre-exam nurses, doctors, and other professionals. With a multitude of license types supported out of the box, the powerful underlying platform also enables jurisdictions to rapidly adjust to the challenges of the current public health crisis and beyond." In total, about 25 percent of the U.S. workforceis employed in an occupation licensed at the state level. These vary across each state and include accountants, barbers, chiropractors, dentists, lawyers, nurses, pharmacists, and more. The occupational licensing process is critical in enforcing important public safeguards while establishing clear guidelines for licensed professionals.

Enables agencies to manage resident complaints and any necessary enforcement actions against license holders to enforce rules, regulations, and appropriate professional practices.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Snowmass Base Village (SBV) introduces the all-electric and appropriately named: Electric Pass Lodge. Designed to be 100% powered by renewable energy, this development will be one of the first of its kind in the country. The building will include 53 ski-in/ski-out, for-sale residences at the base of the iconic Snowmass Ski Area. If you own a home at a ski resort, youre inherently invested in the preservation of snow, says Andy Gunion, Roaring Fork Valley Managing Partner for East West Partners. Nobody wants their ski home to contribute to climate change, but the reality is most do. With Electric Pass Lodge, were thrilled to offer buyers beautifully designed, high-performing, healthy residences that come with the piece-of-mind that when you turn up your heat, youre not melting our precious snow. These Scandinavian-inspired residences will be 2- and 3-bedroom with prices starting at $1.4 million. Each owner will have access to private amenities, including the village pool complex being built in conjunction with the building (not part of the developments electric system), Zoom rooms, SBVfit health club, a lounge, courtyard, ski locker room, storage and underground parking. These private amenities complement the abundance of public offerings available right out the front door, ranging from ski slopes to summer trails to all the events and activities the newly completed Base Village has to offer. Buyers and their local brokers will enjoy an innovative, COVID safe, digital-driven purchasing process with reservations opening on Jan. 26, 2021 on www.ElectricPassLodge.com. Construction is scheduled to start this April and is projected to be completed in spring of 2023. Electric Pass Lodges design was crafted by two Colorado-based firms 4240 Architecture and River + Lime. We set out to design not only a contemporary Scandinavian-inspired alpine lodge, but the most sustainable, all-electric condominium building in the Colorado Mountains. Electric Pass Lodge will set a new standard for the future of building design in Snowmass and hopefully for ski resorts across North America, says Christian Barlock, principal with 4240. River + Limes goal with the interiors was to create comforting spaces that offer laid-back sophistication and approachable luxury. The design team focused just as much on the health of the buildings occupants as on its climate impact. One of the great things about designing a sustainable building is we end up with a building that is extremely healthy for our owners and their families, says Ellen McCready, Project Manager for East West Partners. Along with the construction of Electric Pass Lodge comes the adjacent village pool. This 25-yard outdoor pool, featuring lap lanes, a water slide and hot tub, is designed with a saltwater system to provide a healthier swimming experience. Surrounded by an expansive sun deck featuring a seasonal cabana bar and shade pergola the pool will be available to Electric Pass owners and guests, as well as a variety of other residential owners in Base Village. The pool is not part of the buildings renewable electricity program. The zoning-required amenity was too large to allow for it. Electric Pass Lodge joins a collection of other LEED certified buildings in SBV, which is a LEED certified neighborhood. East West partnered with KSL Capital Partners and Aspen Skiing Company (ASC) in 2016 to acquire and complete the village at the base of Snowmass Ski Area. ASC is no stranger to sustainable building. The ski company was the first in the industry to develop a set of green buildings, and they participated in the creation of U.S. Green Building Councils Leadership Energy and Environmental Design Program, known as LEED. Today, several of their buildings in Snowmass are LEED certified. Moving forward, ASCs proposed building standards include having all of the companys new buildings be entirely electrified. Its first 100% electric building, the Willits Center Workforce Housing, is set to open in spring 2021. "Electric buildings powered by renewable energy are the best way society can decarbonize the built environment, which is a hugely important, but difficult task," says ASCs VP of Sustainability Auden Schendler. I love that SBV is going all-electric with this development. Theyre modeling the future of climate solutions in a very high-profile place. But more important is that the people who buy these residences will be introduced to cutting edge technology. The electrification of buildings is not just a sustainability goal in Snowmass. Across the country and the world, there is a growing movement towards buildings powered by solar, wind and other sources of zero-carbon electricity. Around 30 cities and counties in the U.S. have already passed ordinances either strongly encouraging or mandating new construction be all-electric.

SURREY, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Yesterday, the United Steelworkers (USW) Local 2009 received noticed that the Public and Private Workers of Canada (PPWC) has applied to the Labour Board to raid nearly 70 USW members at Bouygues Building CanadaGreen Timbers Accommodation Partners (GTAP) in Surrey. It is extremely distressing that PPWC, an independent union, is raiding our members at GTAP, said Al Bieksa, President USW Local 2009. I am very concerned that our members have been lied to and manipulated for the personal gain of a few members. You can be assured that legal action will be taken against those responsible. But, what worries me the most is the loss of rights that our members may be forfeiting through this raid that theyre not even aware of. The raid being conducted by the PPWC may be legal under the B.C. Labour Code, but it is forbidden under Article 4 of the Constitution of the Canadian Labour Congress that most unions abide by. The PPWC is not part of the Canadian Labour Congress, the BC Federation of Labour or any local labour councils and it has no respect or support from real unions, Bieksa said. I encourage our members to get the all the facts from both sides before voting and not just the deceptive information being spewed from a rat union trying to increase their membership in a cowardly fashion, added Bieksa. Raids just cause division and divert attention from the important work that we need to do for our members. There are plenty of non-unionized workers in the province that would benefit from being part of a union. Apparently, that takes too much work for PPWC." The USW is the largest private-sector union in North America with more than 225,000 members in Canada and more than 850,000 members continent-wide. The USW is Canada's most diverse union, representing people working in every sector of the economy.

The GTIM market is projected to reach USD 4.5 billion by 2025 from USD 2.9 billion in 2020; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2020 to 2025. Major drivers for the growth of the market are a significant rise in infrastructure investments across various countries, use of geotechnical instrumentation to prevent failure of geotechnical structures and loss of lives, stringent government regulations to make structures more sustainable and safe, and growing awareness about benefits of GTIM tools. The major restraints for the growth of the market are high installation and monitoring cost. The wired networking technology segment projected to hold a larger share of the GTIM market during the forecast period. Wired technology is the most commonly used networking technology in geotechnical instrumentation and monitoring applications. Wired technology has major advantages, such as reduces the attenuation of data, provides a high speed of operation, and offers high bandwidth. This technology used to serve a geotechnical purpose is primarily used to measure pore water pressure, slope and rock stability, and underground pressure. These applications are useful to efficiently monitor the structure and maintain their safety. Among all end-users, the building & infrastructure segment to grow at the highest CAGR between 2020 and 2025. The buildings and infrastructure segment is expected to continue to dominate the GTIM market, by end-user, during the forecast period. The major factor contributing to the growth of this market is the growing awareness about geotechnical instrumentation and monitoring techniques, along with their benefits, across the world. Benefits such as real-time monitoring and accurate data are supporting the GTIM market to grow. The primary reason for the growth of the market for the buildings and infrastructure segment is that this sector includes a few of the major critical structures, such as dams, tunnels, bridges, and buildings that need to be closely monitored regularly. Also, this segment was the early adopter of the geotechnical instrumentation and monitoring techniques; therefore, it is likely to continue to lead the GTIM market in the coming years. Americas projected to hold the largest share of the GTIM market in 2025. The GTIM market in the Americas is expected to grow at a significant rate owing to an increase in investments in infrastructural projects in the region. For instance, from 2009 to 2017, the US federal government and local government spent about USD 440 billion on infrastructure. In addition, countries such as the US and Canada are increasingly adopting geotechnical instrumentation and monitoring tools to ensure the safety and security of structures and their people. Additionally, in the Americas, both government and private sectors are aggressively involved in large-scale infrastructure projects. For example, the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) has constructed a 4-lane concrete interstate freeway between Silverline Road and Foothill Drive in Henderson. The government spent USD 83 million in this project. This is one of the many projects in the region. Such new infrastructure projects would upsurge the demand for geotechnical instrumentation and monitoring tools. Therefore, the rapid development of new infrastructures in the Americas is one of the major driving factors for the market growth in this region.

COMMENTS BY MURAT ERKAN, CEO We concluded the year 2020 successfully thanks to our sound game plan and strategy The year 2020 will forever be remembered in world history for the COVID-19 pandemic. And having caused significant changes worldwide both of an economic and social dimension, the pandemic brought about the transformation of daily life and the way we do business. While we all became acquainted with the concepts of social distancing, remote working and distance learning, digitalization has left its mark on both our individual lives and the corporate world at an unprecedented rate. This period has indicated that one of the key elements in proceeding swiftly and successfully with digital transformation is a robust telecommunication infrastructure. And by mobilizing our technological infrastructure, know-how and competencies we have continued to provide our customers with an uninterrupted and high-quality communication experience. Indeed, this year we have felt more than ever the value of the systematic investment made in our infrastructure, and of having already adopted a digitalization strategy. Our investors continued to gain through our strong results In 2020, we achieved strong operational and financial results thanks to our digital-oriented strategy and sound business model. This was managed in spite of the global economic and political repercussions of the pandemic that impacted our countries of operations and Turkey in general. Consolidated revenues reached TRY29.1 billion with a year-on-year increase of 15.8%. As consolidated EBITDA1 rose to TRY12.3 billion on an increase of 17.7%, the EBITDA margin printed at 42.2%. Our EBIT2 margin was 21.6%. Excluding one-off impacts, net profit was TRY4 billion on a strong annual increase of 39%. The operational capex to revenues ratio was at 18.5% thanks to effective management of investment need. Along with these results that exceeded our guidance in terms of growth and profitability, in 2020 we distributed a dividend to our investors of TRY812 million corresponding to the highest rate permissible by current legislation, and reflecting our effective balance sheet management and cash generation strength. We broke the record of the past 11 years with a net 1.6 million postpaid mobile subscriber additions. With that, we surpassed our additional 1 million subscriber target in 2020 In a year during which the effects of the pandemic were felt deeply, one of which being limited mobility, we gained a net 1.1 million subscribers, thereby achieving our target, despite the challenging circumstances. This resulted from our customer-driven strategy, innovative and comprehensive offers, broad sales network supported by digital channels and smartly managed strong infrastructure. As our postpaid mobile subscriber base expanded at the record level of the past 11 years with net 1.6 million additions, its ratio to total mobile subscribers reached 66%. Mobile blended ARPU3 was at TRY49.1 on an annual rise of 15.0% with the effect of the larger postpaid subscriber base, rising data and digital service usage and upsell to higher tariffs. We gained a net 180 thousand fiber subscribers on increased demand for our fixed broadband offers in 2020 as our customers spent more time at home. At the same time, residential fiber ARPU reached TRY70.9 on a rise of 9.2%. Superbox, through which we offer uninterrupted home internet at fiber speed over our mobile network, has become one of our most successful products. The Superbox subscriber number reached 591 thousand with an additional net 268 thousand subscriptions reflecting accelerating demand. Additionally, we reached 871 thousand IPTV subscribers in total by gaining a net 152 thousand additions this year. We met the changing needs of our individual and corporate customers with our digital applications and services In a period of increased time spent at home, we stood by our customers with our digital services portfolio. We enriched this portfolio with many new services, while at the same time, registering the incorporation of individual digital services companies, marking a significant milestone for their competition strategies. Along with new services such as TV+ Ready, Turkcell Digital Security Service, lifebox transfer, individual and corporate YaaniMail e-mail, we also launched the BiP Meet application in response to the rising need for video conferencing. Demand for our BiP application, which does not enforce data share permission or discriminate among its users - topics of considerable public debate amid rising concern over personal data security - has also increased rapidly. In the first two months of 2021, BiP registered 27 million new users. The stand-alone revenue of our digital services had increased by 26% year-on-year in 2020. In 2021, our aim is to increase the number of paid users, accelerate B2B opportunities, gain strength with our large screen strategy in the TV segment and take bold strides in new areas such as cloud gaming and game broadcasting businesses and grow the stand-alone revenue of this strategic focus by 25%. The institutions of Turkey are being renewed with Turkcell Digital Business Services The revenue of digital business services, one of our focal points, and with which we accompany private companies and public institutions on their digital transformation journeys increased by 30% in 2020. We successfully met the increased demand for new generation technologies such as data centers, cloud, cyber security, managed services, system integration projects, internet of things, big data and business applications, in addition to the conventional telecom services in our portfolio. We took the lead in corporate digital transformations having been awarded over 2,300 projects with a total contract value of TRY1 billion in 2020. Of these, 420 were system integration projects for which we provided end-to-end solutions. We have a backlog in the amount of TRY967 million from the system integration projects signed to date. As the largest data center operator of Turkey, we offered our more than 1,600 corporate customers the opportunity to manage their data remotely, supporting their business continuity. We put into use the cloud section of Ankara Temelli Data Center, Turkeys largest data center, launching Government Cloud specifically designed for public institutions. Meanwhile, having implemented the technological infrastructure of 4 new hospitals in the health sector, two of which are field hospitals, we have reached a bed capacity of over 8 thousand at 9 hospitals in total, also continuing our market leadership of this sector. Additionally, this year, we increased the number of global vendor partnerships to 21 through strengthened cooperation. By further increasing our competencies in this field over the coming period, we will remain the digital transformation partner of corporations and become the leader in the information technologies services market. Paycell, our new generation payment platform, sees growth with solutions that make a difference In techfin, another focal point of ours, the demand for digital payment services increased rapidly in a period of changing payment habits. Duly, our customers were able to realize all their payment transactions swiftly and securely using Paycell, our new generation payment services platform. The annual transaction volume of Paycell reached TRY9.0 billion. We continued our dual strategy throughout the year, introducing member merchants and customers new offerings and taking fresh actions. The 3-month active users of Paycell, hugely popular for its convenience and secure payment infrastructure, reached 4.7 million. Thanks to the Ready-to-use Limit offered by Paycell since July, 190 thousand individual users have made purchases by transferring their mobile payment limits to their Paycell cards. Also this year, we enabled 24/7 money transfer service to IBAN numbers at banks party to the program. We also added the mobile POS product this year to the Paycell merchant solutions offered to 12 thousand-member merchants. We provided member merchants cost advantage and efficiency by offering the means of managing processes such as collection, inventory monitoring, and e-invoice over a single platform using the Paycell Android POS device. Going forward, we aim to diversify Paycells services with wealth management solutions and focus on commercial enterprises via our POS solutions while achieving 3-month active Paycell users of 6 million by the end of 2021. Revenues through digital channels rose incrementally; Turkcell Pasaj became the new address of technological shopping In promoting wider usage of our digital platforms, one of our strategic focus areas, we registered a strong rise in demand that partly reflected changing customer behavior. As the number of visitors to our digital sales channels reached 30 million on a monthly basis in 2020, the conversion (to sales) rate doubled on a year-on-year basis. 14% of Turkcell Turkey consumer sales (excluding fixed broadband) was derived from digital channels in the fourth quarter of 2020. Furthermore, and within the same scope, in December we launched Turkcell Pasaj, Turkeys technological marketplace. At Turkcell Pasaj, hundreds of electronic goods, including smartphones, new generation technologies, household electrical appliances and personal care products from Turkeys leading suppliers are offered with Turkcell assurance. We generated free cash flow of TRY3.4 billion with our effective and successful financial management Thanks to our strong operational performance, disciplined cost management practices, effective working capital management and efficient capex planning, we generated TRY3.4 billion free cash4 flow from our operations in 2020, whereby the leverage ratio declined to 0.8x on a 0.2x year-on-year improvement. Our use of hedging products and foreign currency cash at hand to mitigate foreign currency risk underpinned our strong net income performance. We also enter the coming investment periods prepared with long term financing secured in the amount of around USD700 million equivalent in total signed this year, and which may be utilized over the next 3 years in EUR, USD and RMB. We work towards delivering our customers 5G with Turkcell quality One of the major topics of the upcoming period will be 5G technology. Having commenced use in over 60 countries, 5G technology will play an important role in the digital transformation of institutions and sectors with the novel services it has to offer. While participating in studies both locally and at the international level towards bringing the technology of the future to our customers, we work towards making our infrastructure ready for the 5G transition. Within this framework, we take part in a variety of 5G projects in international technological collaborations such as those of NGMN, GSMA, and ITU. Additionally, this year, we also continued our support for the End-to-End Domestic and National 5G Communication Network Project established under the leadership of the Information and Communication Technologies Authority and with the support of TBTAK, together with Communication Technologies Clustering firms. Sustainability is at the heart of our business strategy As Turkcell, we attach priority to creating sustainable value, realizing social responsibility projects and leveraging the power of technology and communication to create social benefit. Within this scope, we have also strengthened our sustainability credentials this year through important initiatives on environmental, social and governance matters. According to the results of our Carbon Disclosure Project, one of worlds preeminent sustainability initiatives geared at curbing the environmental impact of climate change, we are Turkeys industry leader. This year, we reaffirmed our resolve on this matter with the rollout of the Turkcell Environmental Policy. Meanwhile, we also undersigned the longest term corporate green loan agreement in Turkey to date; a green loan finance agreement of EUR50 million with 5-year maturity geared at financing our sustainable investments. We continue to offer diverse solutions that allow the disabled to participate more fully in daily life through our No Barriers Project. Our support for education has included the rich content of our Whiz Kids Project, while on the environmental front our Recycle to Education Project geared at reducing electronic waste commenced. Additionally, we accepted and implemented our Turkcell Domestic Violence Procedure and Turkcell Human Rights Policy. On the governance front, we put into practice the Integrated Value Creation Committee and Sustainability Committee to elevate Turkcell to international benchmarks and to implement the preeminent practices in the field. Within the framework of Turkcells sustainability policies we determined the duties of these committees as formulating medium and long-term action plans and overseeing their efficient implementation. We contributed to the drafting of the Finance and Investment Principles for Sustainable Development Objectives of the United Nations Global Compact CFO Taskforce, of which we are a founding member, in an initiative to guide the finance leaders of global companies in the practice of sustainable finance. These principles were disclosed at the 75th General Assembly meeting of the UN in September. Within the framework of these focus areas, as of 2020, we have adopted integrated reporting as our primary corporate reporting tool. This reporting model enables us to present the environmental, social and corporate information demanded by key stakeholders, mainly our investors, more holistically and transparently. We continue to take firm steps towards our goals The beginning of 2021 was marked with the hope arising from the vaccination against COVID-19, and by the hope that the restrictions introduced during the pandemic would soon be lifted. This year, with a view to increasing value creation for all our stakeholders, joint infrastructure sharing and the delivery of new technologies and applications continues to top our agenda. We also continue to implement our digital strategy set on strong fundamentals, and take solid steps to meet our targets announced for the period of 2020-2022. Within this scope, we target5 revenue growth of around 14%-16%, and an EBITDA of around TRY14 billion for 2021. In doing so, our aim will be to add another million of subscribers and pass through additional 500 thousand homes with our fiber. We forecast an operational capex over revenues ratio6 of around 20%. I extend my thanks to all our employees who have made our success possible during a challenging year where we recognized more than ever the indispensable nature of communication and technology for humanity, to our management team cementing our permanent success, and to our Board of Directors for their confidence in us and their invaluable support. I also express gratitude to our customers and business associates who have stood by us at all times on our journey to success. (1) EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.

Historical periods were restated to reflect this change. Revenue of the Group rose 17.8% year-on-year in Q420.

For the full year, EBITDA grew by 17.7% resulting in an EBITDA margin of 42.2% (41.5%) on 0.7pp improvement. - Turkcell Turkeys EBITDA rose 20.4% to TRY10,585 million (TRY8,789 million) leading to an EBITDA margin of 42.1% (40.9%) on 1.2pp improvement. - Turkcell International EBITDA increased 29.4% to TRY1,169 million (TRY904 million) driving an EBITDA margin of 46.0% (45.1%) on 0.9pp improvement. - The EBITDA of other subsidiaries was at TRY516 million (TRY733 million). Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 16.3% year-on-year in Q420. For the full year depreciation and amortization expenses increased 18.4%. Net finance expense increased to TRY382 million (TRY214 million) in Q420. This was driven mainly by a higher net FX loss after hedging, and a higher interest expense on financial assets and liabilities, despite higher interest income on time deposits. For the full year net finance expense decreased to TRY1,132 million (TRY1,728 million). This was due mainly to lower foreign exchange losses after hedging and higher interest income on time deposits. See Appendix A for the details of net foreign exchange gain and loss. Income tax expense: The current tax expense of TRY136 million was more than offset by TRY584 million deferred tax income reported in Q420. Please note that in Q420 lifecell registered TRY689 million deferred tax income having recognized its accumulated losses as deferred tax assets. For the full year, income tax expense declined 50.7% due mainly to lifecells deferred tax income. Please see Appendix A for details. Net income of the Group rose 72.3% to TRY1,302 million (TRY756 million) in Q420. Net income was positively impacted by TRY689 million deferred tax income registered by lifecell. Excluding this impact and other one-off expenses, we registered a robust net income of TRY1,025 million on solid operational performance. For the full year, group net income increased 30.5% to TRY4,237 million (TRY3,246 million). Excluding the deferred tax income impact and other one-off expenses, we registered a net income of TRY3,953 million on a 39% rise on the back of strong operational performance and prudent financial risk management. Please see Appendix A for details of one-off items. Total cash & debt: Consolidated cash as of December 31, 2020 decreased to TRY11,861 million from TRY13,524 million as of September 30, 2020 due mainly to the dividend payment, and the impact of TRY appreciation on our FX denominated cash. Excluding FX swap transactions, 74% of our cash is in US$, 4% in EUR, and 22% in TRY. Consolidated debt as of December 31, 2020 decreased to TRY21,586 million from TRY22,841 million as of September 30, 2020 due mainly to the impact of TRY appreciation on FX denominated debt. Please note that TRY2,099 million of our consolidated debt is comprised of lease obligations. Consolidated debt breakdown excluding lease obligations: - Turkcell Turkeys debt was at TRY17,469 million, of which TRY10,197 million (US$1,389 million) was denominated in US$, TRY5,624 million (EUR624 million) in EUR, TRY283 million (CNY253 million) in CNY, and the remaining TRY1,364 million in TRY. - Finance company had a debt balance of TRY1,038 million, of which TR259 million (US$36 million) was denominated in US$, and TRY465 million (EUR52 million) in EUR with the remaining TRY314 million in TRY. - The debt balance of lifecell was TRY980 million, fully denominated in UAH. TRY1,202 million of lease obligations is denominated in TRY, TRY56 million (US$8 million) in US$, TRY186 million (EUR21 million) in EUR, and the remaining balance in other local currencies (Please note that the figures in parentheses refer to US$ or EUR equivalents). Net debt as of December 31, 2020 was at TRY9,726 million with a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 0.8 times. Excluding finance company consumer loans, our telco only net debt was at TRY7,788 million with a leverage of 0.7 times. Turkcell Group had a long FX position of US$132 million as at the end of the year. (Please note that this figure takes advance payments into account). Capital expenditures: Capital expenditures, including non-operational items, amounted to TRY2,885 million in Q420. For the full year, capital expenditures including non-operational items were at TRY9,079 million. For Q420 and the full year, operational capital expenditures (excluding license fees) at the Group level were at 24.2% and 18.5% of total revenues, respectively.

(2) Presentation of churn figures has been changed to demonstrate average monthly churn figures for the respective quarters. (3) In Q117, our churn policy was revised to extend from 9 months to 12 months (the period at the end of which we disconnect prepaid subscribers who have not topped up above TRY10). Additionally, under our revised policy, prepaid customers who last topped up before March will be disconnected at the latest by year-end. As a regulatory requirement, we started to disconnect prepaid lines in accordance with new ICTA regulation, which requires deactivation of prepaid lines which lack residency documents by the 6th month of subscription starting from 2019. Furthermore, as required by the ICTA, the line of a deceased customer should either be transferred to a successor/another user or terminated. Lines, which are not transferred or terminated, are to be disconnected at the end of seven months. (4) We historically recorded all TV-related revenue under Turkcell Superonline and presented the related ARPU under fixed residential ARPU. As previously announced, our TV business has become a separate standalone subsidiary. In order to reflect this change in our organization, we decided to shift mobile OTT TV ARPU from fixed residential ARPU into mobile ARPU starting from Q320. We note that mobile TV revenues are generated by mobile subscribers. IPTV revenues will continue to be recorded under Turkcell Superonline and included under residential fixed ARPU. In order to maintain comparability, we provide ARPU data for the last three years, revised to reflect this change on our investor relations website in financial and operational data spreadsheet. The number of our subscribers in Turkey grew by 1.1 million net annual additions, reaching 36.7 million in FY20 despite the pandemic environment. Accordingly, we achieved our 1 million net subscriber additions target for the year thanks to our solutions that meet changing customer needs, our rich value proposition, and innovative campaigns that facilitate their lives. On the mobile front, our subscriber base expanded to 33.4 million on 712 thousand net annual additions in FY20. Our postpaid subscribers grew on 1.6 million net annual additions, the highest of the past 11 years. Accordingly, our postpaid subscribers reached 65.7% (62.2%) of our mobile subscriber base as at the end of the year. Meanwhile, our prepaid subscribers declined 892 thousand in FY20, due mainly to the disconnection of 666 thousand inactive prepaid subscribers in Q420 in line with our churn policy. There were also 194 thousand disconnections in Q420 to reflect the regulatory change requiring deactivation of deceased customers subscriptions. On the fixed front, our subscriber base exceeded 2.4 million on 79 thousand quarterly and 187 thousand net annual additions. Our fiber subscribers grew by 65 thousand quarterly and 180 thousand annual net additions. Superbox, our fixed-wireless access offering, registered a strong performance in FY20. Accordingly, it had 41 thousand quarterly net additions in Q420, while registering 268 thousand net annual additions. Meanwhile, our IPTV customer base rose to 871 thousand on 60 thousand quarterly and 152 thousand annual net additions. The average monthly mobile churn rate was at 3.0% and 2.3% in Q420 and FY20, respectively. The higher mobile churn rate in Q419 was due mainly to the lump sum disconnection of subscriptions in accordance with the ICTA regulation that requires deactivation of prepaid lines, that lack residency documents by the 6th month of subscription. Average monthly fixed churn rate was at 1.9% in Q420, and at the same level for the full year. Our mobile ARPU (excluding M2M) rose 11.3% year-on-year in Q420 on the back of a larger postpaid subscriber base and upsell efforts, as well as increased data and digital services usage. Mobile ARPU (excluding M2M) grew 15.0% for the full year, mainly on the same drivers. Our residential fiber ARPU grew by 8.6% year-on-year in Q420 driven mainly by upsell efforts and the acquisition of higher revenue generating customers. Fiber residential ARPU grew by 9.2% for the full year. Average monthly mobile data usage per user increased 44.4% in Q420 year-on-year and 58.1% for the full year. This was driven mainly by the increasing number and data consumption of 4.5G users, as well as higher digital services usage. Accordingly, the average mobile data usage of 4.5G users reached 14.9 GB in Q420. The rising number of Superbox subscribers also had a positive impact on data consumption. The number of 4.5G compatible smartphones on our network rose to 21.5 million on 2.3 million annual additions, comprising 91% of smartphones on our network. Total smartphone penetration had reached 81% as at the end of the year.

It also facilitates performance comparisons from company to company. Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure eliminates potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense), tax positions (such as the impact of changes in effective tax rates on periods or companies) and the age and book depreciation of tangible assets (affecting relative depreciation expense). We also present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating the performance of other mobile operators in the telecommunications industry in Europe, many of which present Adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results. Our Adjusted EBITDA definition includes Revenue, Cost of Revenue excluding depreciation and amortization, Selling and Marketing expenses, Administrative expenses and Net impairment losses on financial and contract assets, but excludes translation gain/(loss), finance income, finance expense, share of profit of equity accounted investees, gain on sale of investments, minority interest and other income/(expense).

Go Red for Women, nationally sponsored by CVS Health, is the American Heart Association's signature initiative to end heart disease and stroke in women. Go Red for Women is working in communities around the country and around the world to help women understand that cardiovascular disease is their greatest health threat and that they should take action to lower their risk. By featuring bold stories from the 2021 Go Red for Women Real Women campaign at the point of care, PatientPoint and the American Heart Association aim to highlight the urgent need for women of all ages to take charge of their health where and when health is top of mind."Too many women, particularly younger women and women of color, remain unaware that cardiovascular disease is their No. 1 killer. The 2021 Class of Real Women is our youngest class yet, highlighting the urgent need for women of all ages to take action," said Mitch Elkind, M.D., M.S., FAHA, FAAN, president of the American Heart Association and professor of neurology and epidemiology at Columbia University in New York City. "We're grateful to PatientPoint for bringing our 2021 Real Women to the physician's office, a place where we hope they can inspire and empower women to work with their healthcare providers to make their health a priority."2021 Real Women to be featured on PatientPoint waiting room and exam room digital screens include: Dani Aylsworth, 33(Santa Rosa Beach, FL): Army combat veteran who battled PTSD, addiction and heart failure.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- HVAC Market Research Report: By Offering (Equipment, Services), End User (Commercial, Industrial, Residential) - Global Industry Analysis and Growth Forecast to 2030Read the full report: https://www.reportlinker.com/p05987949/?utm_source=PRN With the increasing average temperature across the globe, the sales of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are rising sharply. After all, it's quite difficult to get through a hot summer day nowadays without air-conditioners and other cooling systems. Moreover, with the rising urbanization in several countries, the demand for proper heating and ventilation equipment, especially among people living in apartment buildings, is growing rapidly. The thriving construction sector is another major factor fueling the sales of HVAC systems.As per a report produced by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the total spending on infrastructural development and construction projects across the globe will rise to $15.5 trillion by 2030. Countries such as the U.S., China, the U.A.E., Qatar, and Saudi Arabia are witnessing soaring construction activities such as those pertaining to the building of shopping complexes, hotels, and skyscrapers, primarily because of upcoming events such as the FIFA World Cup 2022 and the Dubai Expo 2020 (which has been postponed till 2021).The flourishing tourism industry is another reason behind the huge investments being made in the development of five-star hotels and luxury resorts and amusement parks in these countries. These structures and facilities, once completed, would require HVAC equipment and maintenance services, which would, in turn, propel the demand for HVAC systems and services in the future years. Furthermore, the governments of many countries are making huge investments in the replacement of old HVAC systems with new energy-efficient ones.For example, the Ministry of Power in India started an initiative called 'Eco-Niwas Samhita 2018', which is an Energy Conservation Building Code for Residential Buildings (ECBC-R), in December 2018. The code applies to mixed-land-use buildings and residential structures built on an area of land equal to or greater than 500 square meters (?500 m2) and comprises minimum performance standards that limit the heat gain and loss. This initiative massively boosted the requirement for HVAC systems and services in the country.Hence, with the growing usage of HVAC systems in industrial, residential, and commercial settings, the global HVAC market would exhibit huge expansion in the coming years. As a result, the value of the market would rise from $240.8 billion to $358.1 billion from 2019 to 2030. Furthermore, as per the estimates of P&S Intelligence, a market research firm based in India, the market would progress at a CAGR of 4.8% between 2020 and 2030.Industrial, commercial, and residential buildings are the main end users of HVAC systems. Out of these, the utilization of HVAC systems is currently being observed to be the highest in the commercial buildings across the world. This is because of the increasing usage of these equipment in offices, commercial buildings, and hotels. Moreover, the increasing construction of hotels, on account of the thriving hospitality sector, is also positively impacting the sales of HVAC systems around the world.Globally, the Asia-Pacific (APAC) HVAC market is predicted to exhibit the highest growth rate in the coming years. This would be a result of the rapid economic progress of various regional countries, ballooning infrastructural development and construction activities, and growing urban population in the region. In addition to this, the rising disposable income and purchasing power of people in countries such as China and India is pushing up the sales of HVAC equipment in the region.Hence, it is safe to say that the demand for HVAC systems and services would surge all over the world in the future years, mainly on account of the increasing construction activities, thriving tourism and hospitality industry, and the rising implementation of government programs in several countries for promoting the usage of HVAC equipment, especially in residential and commercial buildings.Read the full report: https://www.reportlinker.com/p05987949/?utm_source=PRN About Reportlinker ReportLinker is an award-winning market research solution.

BUSAN, South Korea, March 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --As the world is on the brink of exhausting its fossil fuel resources, researchers globally are investing tremendous efforts to look for effective "clean" sources of energy. One viable option is hydrogen (H2), a highly efficient fuel that can be produced from biomass-based substrates like wastewater. One way to generate H2 is using microbial electrolysis cells (MECs), in which electrochemically active microorganisms catalyze the oxidation of organic compounds to produce H2. In this process, charged particles called "protons" and "electrons" react with each other in the cathode chamber of an MEC, generating highly purified H2. A proton exchange membrane (PEM) facilitating the proton-electron reaction is, thus, a central player in the functioning of the cell. But often, the proton transportation ability of PEMs is impeded due to the accumulation of organic matter on its surfacea process called "biofouling." This, unfortunately, limits the efficiency and longevity of MECs. Therefore, to leverage the full potential of MECs, it is crucial to use find ways to mitigate biofouling-related blockage in PEMs. Continue Reading Scientists develop a modified proton exchange membrane that improves the production of highly pure hydrogen In a study published in International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, scientists at National Korea Maritime & Ocean University, led by Dr Kyu-Jung Chae, designed an anti-biofouling PEM (and a 2D nanomaterial-based PEM). Dr Chae says, "If high-performance 2D nanomaterial-based membranes with robust anti-biofouling properties are commercialized, H2 production can become easier and more cost-effective." To develop such a membrane, the scientists focused on silver nanoparticles (AgNP), which are known for their anti-fouling properties. But, using AgNP renders the membrane a hydrophobic nature. Moreover, immobilizing AgNP onto the membrane is a complex process. To overcome these challenges, the scientists decided to use another coating agent called "polydopamine" (PDA), with anti-biofouling and hydrophilic properties, to make AgNP immobilization easier. The modified membrane showed significantly higher anti-biofouling property than the non-modified ones or those single-coated with either AgNP or PDA. They also observed that best result was obtained when PDA was applied before AgNP coating. Moreover, when equipped with this 2D nanomaterial-based PEM, the MEC showed high H2 recovery performance, even after 6 months of operation. Prof Chae and his team have further elaborated the potential applications of 2D material-based membranes for H2 purification in another study published in the same journal. Discussing the impact of their study, Dr Chae seems enthusiastic, "By leveraging the durability of the high-performance membranes that adopt different nanomaterial-based augmentation, it is possible to develop highly efficient MECs producing H2 from biomass. Commercializing such cost-effective MECs will help to realize the global dream of a society that thrives on sustainability." This study is, indeed, a big win for the environmenttaking us closer to a sustainable future. Reference Title of original paper: 1.

A Silver Lining in the Hunt for Green Energy: Making Hydrogen Production Easier Scientists at National Korea Maritime & Ocean University develop a modified proton exchange membrane that improves the production of highly pure hydrogen

CARSON CITY, Nev., May 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Nevada's top two youth volunteers of 2020, Irene Yoo, 15 and Abigail Panariso, 13, both of Las Vegas, were recognized this weekend for their outstanding volunteer service during the 25th annual, and first-ever virtual, Prudential Spirit of Community Awards national recognition celebration. Irene Yoo (PRNewsfoto/Prudential Financial, Inc.) Abigail Panariso (PRNewsfoto/Prudential Financial, Inc.) In recognition of the spirit of service that they have demonstrated in their communities, Irene and Abigail along with 100 other top youth volunteers from across the country were also each given $2,500 to donate toward the local COVID-19 response efforts of a nonprofit organization of their choice. These funds come in addition to the $1,000 scholarship and engraved silver medallion they earned as Nevada's top youth volunteers of 2020. The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program, sponsored by Prudential Financial in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), named Irene and Abigail Nevada's top high school and middle level youth volunteers in February. "Over the past 25 years, this program has honored students spanning three generations, and the common thread between them has been the determination of young people to respond to the challenges of the moment," said Charles Lowrey, chairman and CEO of Prudential Financial. "Who better than this group of young leaders from all over the country to help identify and direct resources to community needs arising from COVID-19?"As State Honorees, Irene and Abigail also earned an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C. for the program's annual national recognition events; the trip, however, was canceled due to COVID-19 and changed to a three-day online celebration this past weekend. In addition to remarks and congratulations from actress Kristen Bell, honorees had opportunities to connect with each other through online project-sharing sessions, learn about service and advocacy from accomplished past Spirit of Community honorees, hear congratulatory remarks from Lowrey and NASSP Executive Director and CEO JoAnn Bartoletti, and more."We admire these young leaders for their ability to assess the needs of the communities they serve and find meaningful ways to address them," said Bartoletti. "At a time when everyone is looking for optimism, these students are a bright light for their peers and the adults in their lives."About the HonoreesIrene (pictured left), a sophomore at Ed W. Clark High School, formed a youth orchestra in the winter of 2019 that conducts recitals at senior care facilities and children's hospitals in her community. Irene began playing the viola when she was 11 years old and has since performed in several youth orchestras, including the Korean Youth Orchestra, which sometimes held concerts at senior centers. "Our audience always loved our music, and after each performance we spent time chatting with the seniors," said Irene. She really enjoyed interacting with older people, she said, but the problem was that many of her musician friends weren't Korean, so they weren't eligible to join. Irene envisioned a group of young musicians coming together based on ability and the love of music, without regard to nationality. So she founded a youth group she called "Las Vegas Arts, Music & Education." Irene began by recruiting members by distributing fliers to young orchestra players and posting ads on Facebook and other social media sites. She asked her school piano teacher to serve as conductor, found inexpensive space for rehearsals, and contacted several senior care centers to see if they wanted an orchestra to perform at their facilities. Her group now plays at both senior centers and children's hospitals, usually playing six pieces in a 40-minute concert. To cover her orchestra's expenses, Irene organized a "slime" festival and conducts classes to teach others how to make the gooey, sticky substance that kids love to mold and stretch (her Instagram page on slime has more than 180,000 followers). "I know our performances make a difference in the lives of patients in children's hospitals and senior centers," said Irene. "We bring happiness to many, and get so much in return."Abigail (pictured right), a member of Girl Scouts of Southern Nevada and an eighth-grader at Thurman White Middle School, donated more than $1,300 last year to buy eight new wheelchairs for veterans traveling on free "honor flights" to Washington, D.C., organized a letter-writing campaign that produced more than 500 letters thanking them for their service, and recruited hundreds of people to welcome them back home after their trip. When Abigail's grandfather returned home from serving in Vietnam, he did not receive the warm welcome that greeted previous generations of soldiers. "It was the opposite," said Abigail. "This inspired me and I knew I had to do something to show our veterans how we haven't forgotten and that they are very much respected and appreciated." As a volunteer for Honor Flight of Southern Nevada for four years, Abigail had noticed how the wheelchairs used for transporting elderly veterans in the nation's capital were breaking and were very heavy. So with $1,250 she had earned from selling Girl Scout cookies, along with donations from friends, she purchased eight lightweight all-terrain wheelchairs. Then she asked teachers at her school for help in getting students to write appreciation letters for the veterans. The most difficult part of her project, Abigail said, was rounding up people to be at the airport when the veterans' plane landed. Swallowing her fear of public speaking, she made appeals at her school and church, at Boy and Girl Scout gatherings, and at a local congresswoman's town hall meeting. When the day of the return flight arrived, the veterans disembarked to the cheers and applause of hundreds.About The Prudential Spirit of Community AwardsThe Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program was created in 1995 to identify and recognize young people for outstanding volunteer service and, in so doing, inspire others to volunteer, too. In the past 25 years, the program has honored more than 130,000 young volunteers at the local, state and national level.

BUCHANAN, Va., July 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --Buchanan-based Bank of Botetourt (OTCPK: BORT) announced today its unaudited financial results for the three months-end June 30, 2020. The Bank produced net income amounting to $1,172,000 or $0.68 per basic share in the second quarter. This amount compares to a net income of $1,104,000 or $0.64 per share, for the same period last year. For the six months-ended the Bank produced net income amounting to $2,210,000 or $1.28 per basic share. This amount compares to a net income of $2,258,000 or $1.32 per share, for the same period last year. At June 30, 2020, select financial information and key highlights include: Return on average assets of 0.84% Return on average equity of 8.63% Book value of $30.28 $1.19 million year-to-date provision for loan losses 455 loans for $29.5 million funded under the federal Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") Loan extensions, skip-a-payments, and modifications totaled 230 loans with balances of $56.1 million Community Bank Leverage Ratio ("CBLR") of 9.44% As a result of the solid financial performance, the Board of Directors voted to pay the $0.175 per share quarterly dividend, or $0.70 per share annualized which is payable on August 19, 2020 to shareholders of record August 12, 2020. President & CEO, G. Lyn Hayth, III stated "Our second quarter financial results exceeded budget expectations. We remain cautiously optimistic as we navigate the uncertain economic conditions amid the health pandemic. Bank of Botetourt assisted many customers with their financial needs during this unprecedented time. We continue to monitor the local and national economic conditions and will continue to work appropriately with impacted customers." Results of Operations Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $1,172,000 compared to $1,104,000 for the same period last year, representing an increase of $68,000 or 6.2%. Basic and diluted earnings per share increased $0.04 from $0.64 at June 30, 2019 to $0.68 at June 30, 2020. The increase in net income is primarily attributed to an increase in net interest income resulting from higher loan demand resulting in more loan interest income and fees on loans. The Bank has realized continued strong loan demand in 2020 as net loans increased 10.6%. Interest and fees on loans at June 30, 2020 increased $230,000, or 4.5%, over the same three-month time period of 2019. Total interest income increased $166,000 or 3.1%. Interest expense increased by $74,000, or 6.5%, at June 30, 2020 over the same three-month time period of 2019. The higher interest expense is a result of both interest expense related to borrowings and an increase the balances of interest-bearing deposits. The resulting net interest income was $4,247,000 for the three months-ended June 30, 2020 compared to $4,155,000 for the three month-ended June 30, 2019, an increase of 2.2%. The provision for loan losses was $745,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to $400,000 for June 30, 2019. The higher provision is due to an increase in a recession probability predictor in the Bank's environmental factors portion of the allowance for loan loss reserve calculation. With the far-reaching economic impacts resulting from COVID-19, the likelihood of recession necessitated the need for a higher provision beyond the overall growth in the loan portfolio. In determining the estimated allowance, the Bank considered national and local unemployment trends, market conditions, social distancing impacts on area non-essential businesses, and customer requests for payment deferrals. Net charge-offs were $107,000 at June 30, 2020 as compared to 239,000 at June 30, 2019. Noninterest income decreased by $83,000, or 8.6%, to $885,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $968,000 for same time period of 2019. The decrease is attributable primarily to a decrease in fee income from services charges on deposit accounts and revenue from brokerage services. Noninterest expense decreased $398,000 from $3,315,000 at June 30, 2019 to $2,917,000 at June 30, 2020. The decrease is primarily related to an offset in the ASC-360 salaries cost from the high volume of PPP loans generated during the three-month time period. The salaries expense offset is expected to reverse over the life of the PPP loans. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $298,000 compared to $304,000 one year prior. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $2,210,000 compared to $2,258,000 for the same period last year, representing a decrease of $48,000 or 2.1%. Basic and diluted earnings per share decreased $0.04 from $1.32 at June 30, 2019 to $1.28 at June 30, 2020. The decrease in net income is primarily attributed to an increase in a higher provision for loan losses related to the uncertain economic conditions related to the COVID-19 health pandemic. Provision for loan losses totaled $1,190,000 at June 30, 2020 compared to $595,000 at June 30, 2019. The 100.0% increase is related to growth in the portfolio as well as accounting for the environmental factors related to the large span of industries negatively impacted by the social distancing guidance, unemployment claims, and the anticipated expiration of the temporary increase in unemployment compensation benefits under the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation program. Financial Condition At June 30, 2020 total assets amounted to $576,704,000, an increase of 17.0% above total assets at December 31, 2019 of $492,817,000, an increase of $83,887,000. Total net loans increased $44,844,000 or 10.6% from $421,417,000 at December 31, 2019 to $466,261,000 at June 30, 2020. Approximately $29,500,000 of the growth was related to PPP lending. Total deposits at December 31, 2019 amounted to $434,268,000, compared to $510,126,000 at June 30, 2020, an increase of 17.5% or $75,858,000. The majority of the increase in deposits was organic growth. In addition, a substantial majority of the PPP loan proceeds were deposited to accounts at the Bank. Stockholders' equity totaled $52,154,000 at June 30, 2020 compared to $50,269,000 at December 31, 2019. The $1,885,000 increase during the period is net income for 2020, net proceeds from the issuance of common stock from the Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, a reduction in accumulated other comprehensive loss and partially offset by dividends paid. Non-Performing Assets Non-performing assets, which consist of nonaccrual loans and foreclosed properties increased from $3,200,000 at December 31, 2019 to $4,534,000 at June 30, 2020. The increase is attributable to an uptick in nonaccrual loans. Nonaccrual loans were $656,000 at December 31, 2019 compared to $2,194,000 at June 30, 2020. There were nine new additions to nonaccruals loans during the quarter, five of which are related to one spec construction and land development borrower. A loan is considered impaired if it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans amounted to $1,500,000 at December 31, 2019, compared to $3,000,000 at June 30, 2020. The increase is related to the addition of 13 impaired loans in various loan categories. Loss exposure on impaired loans at December 31, 2019 was $310,000 compared to $512,000 and June 30, 2020 after obtaining current appraisals on collateral securing a significant number of impaired loans in the portfolio and estimating selling costs based on historical experience. The Bank historically makes a conscious effort to attempt work-out loan scenarios with past due customers. In some cases, loan restructuring is appropriate. Bank management has procedures and processes in place to identify, monitor, and report troubled debt restructurings. At June 30, 2020, troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") totaled $1,069,000 and were spread among various loan categories. No new TDRs have been identified in 2020. Capital Ratios The federal banking agencies jointly issued a final rule, effective January 1, 2020, that provided for an optional, simplified measure of capital adequacy, the community bank leverage ratio framework, for qualifying community banking organizations, consistent with Section 201 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act. A qualifying community banking organization is defined as having less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets, a leverage ratio greater than 9%, off-balance sheet exposures of 25% or less of total consolidated assets, and trading assets and liabilities of 5% or less of total consolidated assets. It also cannot be an advanced approaches institution. Bank of Botetourt qualified and elected to opt-in to the Community Bank Leverage Ratio ("CBLR"). As of June 30, Bank of Botetourt reported its CBLR ratio at 9.44% which exceeds the required regulatory minimum ratio. The CARES Act temporarily reduced the CBLR minimum ratio from 9.0% to 8.0% through December 31, 2020. Paycheck Protection Program Bank of Botetourt is participating in the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") initiated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury on April 3, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the Bank has processed and received approval from the U.S. Small Business Administration on 455 applications for approximately $29.5 million. Bank of Botetourt initially has funded these loans using its on-balance sheet liquidity. The Bank is assessing its anticipated liquidity needs for the remainder of 2020 and will replenish a portion of liquidity used to fund the PPP loans, if needed, by borrowing from the newly created Payroll Protection Program Lending Facility ("PPPLF") at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. The Bank earned $1,190,000 from the SBA for generating the PPP loans. This revenue will be recognized over the life of the PPP loans. COVID-19 Customer & Employee Care Bank of Botetourt continues to take numerous steps to assist our customers and employees during the pandemic. For loan customers impacted by COVID-19, the Bank has granted extensions, skip-a-payment, and modifications consistent with regulatory guidance for 230 loans with balances of $56.1 million.

MUNICH, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SimScale GmbH, the provider of the worlds first production-ready SaaS application for engineering simulation, today announced a major platform development to enable integration and automation with their new application programming interface (API). The feature allows designers, engineers, and computational designers to link their preferred CAD tools directly to the SimScale simulation engine via the API. When designers need to use the power of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to optimize the performance of their designs, the typical workflow is to import a CAD model into the CFD software and run the simulation. This means the simulation process goes from the designer to simulation specialist in a cumbersome process which stifles the iterative design process as well as resulting findings, especially during early design stages. SimScales API now allows direct integration with a CAD software stack like Rhino and Grasshopper. Launching the API with a first integrated solution, a designer or architect can now use Rhino and the SimScale API to directly send a geometry to SimScale, and simulate multiple design iterations in parallel. This process can be further automated and streamlined into apps to deliver multiple design scenarios and results quickly. Collaboration and admin features also allow for this process to be managed, and quality assured by expert users within an organization. Urban designers, architects, and engineers using SimScale can now do the following with minimum input: To learn more about how SimScales cloud-based computer-aided engineering (CAE) platform can help designers, visit SimScales blog. About SimScale: SimScale is the worlds first production-ready SaaS application for simulation. By providing instant access to (CFD) and (FEA) to over 200,000 users, SimScale has moved high-fidelity physics simulation technology from a complex and cost-prohibitive desktop application to a user-friendly cloud application accessible via a subscription-based pricing model.

Our second quarter showed a number of encouraging signs in the face of a market that continues to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, said Randy Baker, Enerpac Tool Groups President and CEO. As anticipated, we saw a sequential sales increase despite the seasonal decrease we typically see in the second quarter. I am encouraged by the positive sentiment among our distributors with some modest improvement in stocking activity in the quarter along with the overall improving level of project activity we are experiencing. Collectively, these serve as clear indicators of the ongoing market recovery. Mr. Baker added, As we have progressed through the pandemic we have kept a long-term view of our business and remained focused on our key strategic initiatives, including investing in new product development, managing our acquisition pipeline, driving greater levels of dealer and customer engagement, and building a culture of inclusion and acceptance for our employees. At the same time, we have been disciplined in our response to shorter term challenges and we have maintained our strong balance sheet, paying down $45 million in debt in the quarter with leverage well within our preferred range. As we move forward and enter a post-COVID world, we believe we are well-positioned to capitalize on growth and increase both profitability and shareholder returns as we pursue our long-term vision as a pure play industrial tool company.

GLNG CLASS ACTION DEADLINE: Bernstein Liebhard Reminds Investors of the Deadline to File a Lead Plaintiff Motion In a Securities Class Action Lawsuit Against Golar LNG Limited

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Genprex, Inc. (Genprex or the Company) (NASDAQ: GNPX), a clinical-stage gene therapy company focused on developing life-changing therapies for patients with cancer and diabetes, announces today that the Company has been selected to receive the inaugural License of the Year award from the University of Pittsburgh Innovation Institute (UPII) in recognition of the advances made with its license from University of Pittsburgh toward progressing the development of its gene therapy for diabetes. In February 2020, Genprex signed an exclusive license agreement with the University of Pittsburgh for an innovative gene therapy technology developed by lead researcher, George Gittes, M.D. at the Rangos Research Center at the University of Pittsbugh Medical Center ("UPMC") Childrens Hospital. The diabetes gene therapy candidate, GPX-002, which is being evaluated in preclinical studies, reprograms alpha cells in the pancreas into functional beta-like cells, thereby replenishing levels of insulin and providing the potential to cure the disease. The novel infusion is by means of an endoscopic procedure that delivers Pdx1 and MafA genes to the pancreas. The genes express proteins that transform alpha cells in the pancreas into functional beta-like cells, which can produce insulin but are distinct enough from beta cells to evade the bodys immune system. We thank the UPII for acknowledging the breakthrough work of Dr. George Gittes and his team at the Rangos Research Center at UPMC Childrens Hospital of Pittsburgh, whose efforts have produced this highly innovative therapeutic approach to treating diabetes that could replace the need for insulin replacement therapy and ultimately lead to a cure of this devastating illness afflicting tens of millions of people around the world, said Rodney Varner, President and Chief Executive Officer of Genprex. We are honored to receive this recognition, considering the great number of cutting-edge technologies coming out of this distinguished university and research center. We thank UPII for bestowing this honor on our gene therapy license with Dr. Gittes and the Rangos Research Center and applaud them for the groundbreaking gene therapy research being conducted at this esteemed institution. The Celebration of Innovation awards ceremony will be held virtually on April 22, 2021 on the Pitt Innovation Institute YouTube channel at 4:30 p.m ET. GPX-002 has been tested in vivo in mice and nonhuman primates. In studies in non-obese diabetic mice, a model of Type 1 autoimmune diabetes, the gene therapy approach restored normal blood glucose levels for an extended period of time, typically around four months. According to the researchers, the duration of restored blood glucose levels in mice could potentially translate to decades in humans. If successful, this gene therapy could eliminate the need for insulin replacement therapy for diabetic patients. According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control, 34.2 million Americans, or approximately 10.5% of the population, have diabetes. About Genprex, Inc. Genprex, Inc. is a clinical-stage gene therapy company focused on developing life-changing therapies for patients with cancer and diabetes. Genprexs technologies are designed to administer disease-fighting genes to provide new therapies for large patient populations with cancer and diabetes who currently have limited treatment options. Genprex works with world-class institutions and collaborators to develop drug candidates to further its pipeline of gene therapies in order to provide novel treatment approaches. The Companys lead product candidate, REQORSA (quaratusugene ozeplasmid), is being evaluated as a treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). REQORSA has a multimodal mechanism of action that has been shown to interrupt cell signaling pathways that cause replication and proliferation of cancer cells; re-establish pathways for apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells; and modulate the immune response against cancer cells. REQORSA has also been shown to block mechanisms that create drug resistance. In January 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted Fast Track Designation for REQORSA for NSCLC in combination therapy with AstraZenecas Tagrisso (osimertinib) for patients with EFGR mutations whose tumors progressed after treatment with Tagrisso.

NEW YORK, July 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- "A historical event just happened before our eyes," announced Daniel Turcotte, Raelian Guide and leader of the Embassy for Extraterrestrials Project sponsored by the Raelian Movement. "Diplomats and Foreign Affairs officials recently attended our first international online forum to learn from our experts all the steps required to officially welcome human beings from another planet." "The main goal of this event was to inform diplomats and foreign affairs officials about this unique and ambitious project that could also bring wealth and scientific advancement to the hosting country," explained Turcotte. "We need to increase their level of awareness about the important issues of international law that should be resolved before any extraterrestrial contact is made." During the presentation and after introducing the subject and giving an outline on the project, Dr. Jon H. Levy, PhD.a world-renowned lawyer specializing in transnational and private international lawand Stephen Goldiea very experienced city planneroutlined the legal issues raised by this unique and ambitious diplomatic and touristic project, as well as the steps necessary to make it happen. "For decades now, Raelians have been canvassing countries to consider hosting an Embassy for Extraterrestrials, but in recent years these discussions have been increasing in number and seriousness," said Turcotte. "Many countries showed a genuine interest in this very promising and important project, the presentation was very well received and all the participants agreed that the diplomatic aspect of it is not only mandatory but the priority." "Interest is growing as it becomes obvious that an extraterrestrial civilization is preparing our humanity for an official contact through an ever-increasing number of UFO sightings, military reports describing encounters with UFOs, and very complex crop circles all over the world," Turcotte continued. "It's just a matter of time before more diplomats and foreign affairs officials acknowledge this and advise their respective governments to care for a proper and formal welcome for an out-of-this-world civilization. "We are aware that this is an important paradigm shift with regard to diplomatic relations defined by the Vienna Convention and, while the increasing governmental awareness is now obvious, we still have some work to do," Turcotte added. "While some countries wrongfully anticipate an invasion by an armed extraterrestrial civilization and are preparing to go to war against them, we must offset such a primitive and dangerous position with a worldwide movement of peace, to educate people and government officials that we can only benefit from contact with beings from beyond the stars," concluded Turcotte. The Raelian philosophy states that an extraterrestrial civilization, referred to as "Elohim" in the original Hebrew Bible, created all forms of life on Earth including human beings. We believe it is a very peaceful and far more advanced civilization compared to ours, both scientifically and philosophically, and that an official contact with our Creators will usher our humanity into an era of peace and a Golden Age.

HOUSTON, Feb. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Masks. Social distancing. Vaccines. And now, in the ongoing fight against COVID, Abacus Plumbing, Air Conditioning & Electrical is proud to provide a high-tech filtration system now scientifically proven to be 99.9% effective against the deadly virus. When properly installed by the licensed professionals at Abacus Plumbing, Air Conditioning & Electrical, the state-of-the-art REME HALO is a confirmed COVID killer for Houston-area residents. By systematically releasing hydrogen peroxide molecules through HVAC systems, the REME HALOprovides both clean, safe air and peace of mind against the deadly coronavirus that has killed 38,000 Texans, including more than 4,000 in Harris County. "This is a game-changer in the fight against COVID," says Abacus Plumbing, Air Conditioning & Electrical HVAC expert Henry Newsom. "Anywhere air is blowing through your house or business, this device is actively seeking out and killing the virus." The REME HALOhas long been known to combat most viruses, bacteria and mold, but has recently been specifically tested to also kill COVID. RGF Environmental Group, Inc., a leading environmental design and manufacturing company, recently released the results of a third-party study that revealed REME HALO efficacy of 99.9% against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The seven-month testing was conducted at the Innovative Bioanalysis Laboratories in Cypress, Calif. and overseen by Dr. James Marsden, Executive Director of Science and Technology at RGF. "The study results show the REME HALO to be effective in combating the COVID-19 virus and a valuable solution to immediately improve the indoor air quality of residential and commercial spaces and protect occupants against exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus," says Dr. Marsden. Kingwood resident Claire Brom purchased a system and had it installed by Abacus Plumbing, Air Conditioning & Electrical on April 30th. "I got it because I didn't want COVID in my house, simple," Brom says. "It's worked. I've noticed a clear improvement in air quality and there have been no illnesses in my family. None of us." Abacus Plumbing, Air Conditioning & Electrical so trusts the REME HALO that it's installed in the company's own HVAC systems.

VIENNA, Va., Aug. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --COVID-19 and the disproportionate impact it has had on racial and ethnic groups has put a spotlight on longstanding healthcare inequalities in the United States. Asthma disparities, for one, have long affected African Americans, who face significantly higher rates of emergency department visits and death due to the chronic disease. Allergy & Asthma Network is responding to this crisis by collaborating with new initiatives to address the needs of underserved communities with new funding from the nonprofit Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The Network has been awarded $150,000 through the Eugene PCORI Engagement Awards program. The award will support the "Virtual Conference Series for African American Asthma Patients" project. In addition, the Network was awarded a 5-year grant from CDC to promote guidelines-based asthma management, with the goal of preventing 500,000 hospitalizations and emergency department visits by children with asthma, including those more at risk and from vulnerable communities. PCORI Engagement Award LeRoy Graham, MD, founder and medical director of the Network's Not One More Life program, will lead the project that will focus on encouraging African Americans to participate in research and take an active role in their healthcare. Not One More Life partners with predominantly African American churches and faith-based organizations to host free clinics that connect patients with doctors and offer free asthma screenings and education. Starting December 2020, the Network will host a series of virtual conferences with African American asthma patients, faith-based leaders, researchers, doctors and other key stakeholders. The conferences are designed to: distribute patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) results to people with asthma; review research related to African Americans with asthma and COVID-19; address needs of patients and researchers to expand Not One More Life to better engage African Americans with asthma in research. "Many factors impact asthma health disparities, from income level and lack of health insurance to increased exposure to environmental allergens and irritants," says Tonya Winders, President and CEO of Allergy & Asthma Network. "Patients are more likely to miss medical appointments, delay their care or forgo medication use, leading to poorer health outcomes. Expanding access to care and encouraging underserved communities to participate in research are key in addressing health disparities." "By partnering with faith-based organizations, Allergy & Asthma Network's Not One More Life program is able to connect with at-risk patients and build a foundation of trust that carries over into their healthcare," Dr. Graham says. "We are thrilled to work with PCORI to help give African Americans the knowledge they need to participate in research and make informed, evidenced-based decisions about their health." According to Jean Slutsky, PCORI's Chief Engagement and Dissemination Officer, "This project was selected for Engagement Award funding because it will help Allergy & Asthma Network's community increase their capacity to participate across all phases of the PCOR and clinical effective research (CER) process while responding to contextual changes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We look forward to working with Allergy & Asthma Network through the course of their 2020-21 project." CDC Grant Through its National Asthma Control Program, CDC is funding the "Breathe Better Together: A Guidelines-Based Approach to Expand and Implement EXHALE Strategies Across the Country" education and awareness campaign for people with asthma and healthcare professionals. EXHALE's patient-centered strategies are designed to reinforce asthma self-management, reduce exposure to asthma triggers, improve access and adherence to medications, and reduce healthcare costs. The Network will lead a coalition of partners, including CDC, state asthma programs and asthma coalitions, in promoting EXHALE, with a strong focus on social determinants of health and communities that experience asthma disparities. "Asthma management often requires regular doctor appointments and daily treatment to control symptoms," Winders says. "We are excited to partner with CDC and leverage our strengths and expertise to empower asthma patients and healthcare professional to achieve optimal health outcomes." About Allergy & Asthma Network Allergy & Asthma Network is the leading national nonprofit organization dedicated to ending needless death and suffering due to asthma, allergies and related conditions.

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Versa Networks, the leader in SASE, today announced that Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), a leading industry analyst firm that provides deep insight across the full spectrum of IT and data management technologies, has identified Versa SASE as having the most SASE supported functions, according to its Availability and Buying Options in the Emerging SASE Market report published last month. The EMA report compared SASE products of nine leading vendors, broken out into Must Have, Nice to Have, and And Then Some SASE function categories. The report also evaluated the vendors on characteristics such as security functionality, SASE architectures, buying options, support models, and SASE go-to-market strategies. According to Paula Musich, Research Director and author of the EMA report: Versa believes its SASE offering is unique in that it offers the same set of security, networking business, and analytic policies no matter where they are deployed, which includes in the cloud, on-premises, or a combination of both, depending on requirements at different customer locations. Rivals may only offer a subset of SASE services in the cloud or may not offer SASE services on-premisesVersa gives its customers the option of running its services from the cloud, in on-premises gateways, or both, using a single operating system and software stack. Its cloud service has 90 points of presence around the globe and the company continues to expand that footprint. Versa delivers tightly integrated SASE via the cloud, on-premises, or as a blended combination of both via VOS (Versa Operating System) built on a Single-Pass Parallel Processing architecture. Versa began delivering SASE services such as VPN, Secure SD-WAN, Edge Compute Protection, NGFW, Next Generation-Firewall as a Service, SWG, and Zero Trust Network Access nearly 5 years ago. Versa uniquely provides contextual security based on user, role, device, application, location, security posture of the device, and content. As the leader in SASE, Versa is the only solution proven to deliver the industrys leading and differentiated architecture for high performance and security. For a complimentary copy of EMAs Availability and Buying Options in the Emerging SASE Market report, visit https://versa-networks.com/resources/reports/ema-availability-and-buying-options-in-the-emerging-sase-market/. Versa SASE was identified in EMAs report as having all SASE functions considered important to organizations. Functions in the Must Have category include SD-WAN, SWG, CASB, ZTNA, FWaaS, ID Sensitive Data/Malware, Line Rate/Edge, and Line/Rate Cloud. Functions listed in the Nice to Have category are WAAP, RBI, Recursive DNS, Network Sandbox, API Access to SaaS, and Managed/Unmanaged Device Support. Finally, functions making up the And Then Some category include Wi-Fi Hotspot Protection, Network Obfuscation, Legacy VPN, Edge Compute Protection, and EUBA. According to Musich: When it comes to security functionality, EMA believes that the same set of security services that protect employees directly connected to the enterprise network needs to be applied to roaming users, branch office users, and the cloud services they seek to access. A true SASE offering at minimum must include SD-WAN, SWG, CASB, ZTNA, FWaaS, the ability to identify sensitive data (including encrypted data) and malware, and consistency in line-rate operations at the networks edge and from the cloud. Unlike competing solutions, Versa SASE was built from the ground up to deliver a tightly integrated SASE solution within a single software stack, eliminating service chaining, cascading, and virtual interconnect between services, which is required by competitors. Competing solutions have hidden costs and gaps in security because they require multiple product and service components. Achieving visibility and control from solutions requiring service chaining to connect multiple components together proves ineffective, increasing the costs and attack surfaces for organizations. Versa ACE Partners are uniquely able to offer a cost-effective and simple-to-quote solution rather than stitching together multiple vendors to achieve a single SASE solution. The industry continues to validate Versa SASE as a superior architecture with the leading set of SASE functionalities available in the market today, as evidenced by rapid customer acquisition, analyst reports such as this one by EMA, and a growing collection of industry awards, said Michael Wood, Chief Marketing Officer for Versa Networks. Versa SASE continues to be the only SASE solution combining a fully integrated robust set of SASE services within one operating system software stack using a single-pass parallel processing architecture and delivered via the cloud, on-premises, or as a blended combination of both. About Versa Networks Versa Networks, the leader in SASE, combines extensive security, advanced networking, industry leading SD-WAN, genuine multitenancy, and sophisticated analytics via the cloud, on-premises, or as a blended combination of both to meet SASE requirements for small to extremely large enterprises and Service Providers. Versa SASE is available on-premises, hosted through Versa-powered Service Providers, cloud-delivered, and via the simplified Versa Titan cloud service designed for Lean IT. Thousands of customers globally with hundreds of thousands of sites trust Versa with their networks, security, and clouds.

Other cholesterol comes from foods like meat, cheese, and dairy. Cholesterol circulates in the blood, and when there is too much of it, it may lead to health risks down the road. Too much cholesterol can cause a buildup in the arteries, which causes the arteries to narrow. This may lead to a heart attack or stroke.

Europcar Mobility Group Renews Its Alliances With ECO Rent a Car in India and Shouqi Car Rental in China

NEW YORK, Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Common, the leading real estate brand and tech-driven operating platform, has chosen the finalists for the Remote Work Hub, a Request For Proposals (RFP) to design and build a first-of-its-kind development for a distributed workforce. The five finalists represent five different unique visions and categories of emerging cities that are poised to benefit from the sweeping popularity and necessity of remote work. Respondents from New Orleans, Bentonville, Ogden, Rocky Mount, and Rochester will move into the workshop phase to become Common's first ever Remote Work Hub locations. In August 2020, Common issued the Remote Work Hub RFP, a site selection competition that asked both public and private respondents to submit locations for the first Hub. The RFP had two major goals. One was to build a real estate product for the way millions of Americans are already living: in the same places that they work. The other was to attract economic development to up-and-coming cities in a world where a worker's location isn't dictated by their employer. The RFP received 28 responses, a selection of which were presented to the Remote Work Hub Advising Jury including Amy Nelson CEO of Venture for America and Adam Demuyakor Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Wilshire Lane Partners. The submissions were judged on a scale of factors including affordability, geographic location, site context, executability, and product vision. "It has become overwhelmingly clear over the past nine months that traditional corporate life - every employee going to the office every day - is no longer the way things will get done in a post-pandemic America. While this enables workers to live literally anywhere, I am bullish on cities and believe most will choose to live near others, favoring amenities, culture, and socialization," said Brad Hargreaves, the Founder and CEO of Common. "The responses we received to the Remote Work Hub RFP were outstanding in their quality and vision of the future of residential real estate. I am thrilled to be taking Common's brand to these new locations and build the natural connection between work and life in modern residential real estate." The five finalists for the Remote Work Hub RFP are: The Established City: NOLA Workstyle in New Orleans, Louisiana. Submitted by Formwork Development, NOLA Workstyle provides remote workers a home in a diverse and culturally rich city, and balances the demands of remote work with access to an urban linear park that resembles the Beltline in Atlanta and the Highline in New York City. Within the growing and diverse Mid-City neighborhood, the proposal includes a series of buildings containing over 200 residential units featuring private outdoor spaces with flexible floor plans including in-home work areas, and targets that 35% of the project scope will be performed by minority or women-owned businesses. The Under the Radar Gem: Downtown Bentonville, Arkansas. Bentonville is an affordable midsize city on the rise, with strong leadership and local champions for economic opportunity. The proposal from local real estate trailblazers Blue Crane LLC is a multi-acre that will be master-planned to create a new destination in the city. Northwest Arkansas is home to multiple fortune 500 companies, world-class museums, the University of Arkansas, and well-loved trail systems. The region is economically strong and a great place for startups, entrepreneurship, and established companies alike. This paired with the region's high quality of life makes Northwest Arkansas a strong choice for developers and investors. Bentonville has a thriving cycling community and was recently named Mountain Biking Capital of the World, where approximately 130 miles of single-track mountain biking trails connect to the city's downtown. Daily life in Bentonville offers local art and culinary experiences, including performances, an expanding public art scene, restaurants, craft breweries, and more. Placemaking Perfected: Rocky Mount Mills in Rocky Mount, NC: After completing the renovation of a 200-year old cotton mill with offices, residences, a tiny home hotel and microbrewery incubator, family-owned Capitol Broadcasting Company is looking to tackle the urban-rural divide in the second phase of the project. The site, adjacent to the first phase is 45 minutes east of Raleigh and includes a 100,000 square foot textile mill that will reimagine a live-work hub borrowing lessons from CBC's work on its own startup hub (American Underground) and historic renovation project (American Tobacco Campus) in Durham, NC. The Remote Work Destination: Electric Alley & Powder Mountain in Ogden, Utah. Submitted by a partnership between Outlier Realty Capital and Powder Development, Electric Alley & Powder Mountain is a multi-phase development touching both downtown Ogden and Powder Mountain, North America's largest ski resort. Totaling about 200k square feet of buildable space in the heart of Downtown Ogden, the site envisions live, work, and play through multiple mixed-use buildings offering a wide variety of amenities and seamless access to some of the best recreation in the country. A 2021 Revival: The Aqueduct in Rochester, New York. The Aqueduct is an iconic historic landmark campus with a park located on the Genesee river at the center of downtown Rochester. This seven building adaptive reuse development includes 194k square feet of space previously used as commercial office that will be renovated into 150+ residential units/beds, remote work spaces, amenity, and commercial spaces. This transformative project will create a unique live, work, and play campus that will be a mecca for tech workers, students, and artisans to collaborate and experience pop up events in Aqueduct Park. Aqueduct will be programmed with retail/amenity spaces that connect to the Roc the Riverway promenade which will further activate the west side of the riverfront. The developer's major investment continues the economic revitalization of downtown Rochester, building upon the innovation ecosystem and remote work initiatives already established by ROC 2025. Principals on the project include Landers Management, Costanza Enterprises, and Rob Sands. Starting at the end of December, the finalists began design and development workshops with Common's architecture team, Common Studio. In these workshops, each respondent will determine the typology and workspace layout that fits best within their building and the context of the community. Common intends to pursue projects with all five finalists, and the detailed architectural Remote Work Hub concepts in each location will be revealed to the public this Spring.

LONDON, April 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Incredibly, the debate about HS2 has been discussed for longer than Brexit, and yet the government are yet to confirm whether it can fully go ahead. During this time, speculation has been rife as to whether it will have a positive or negative effect on house prices. Property Rescuehave delved into the details to help homeowners understand exactly what sort of effect HS2 will have on the price of their property. The study found that there will be both positive and negative fluctuations over the period of build and launch, with potentially an initial negative impact for those within half a kilometre of the line. Research has found that the disruption caused during construction on similar lines, such as HS1, saw prices drop dramatically, although prices did recover once work was complete. In the long term, prices are set to increase, with some Birmingham properties already seeing significant rises, in some cases as large as 17% since 2017. Danny Nieberg, Director at Property Rescue said, "It's common that the disruption caused by major projects can have a temporary negative effect on house prices. "However, in the case of HS2, faster connections will ultimately prove a huge benefit and boost house prices in cities north of the capital, including Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham."

MANCHESTER, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Luxfer Holdings PLC (NYSE: LXFR), (Luxfer or the Company), a global manufacturer of highly-engineered industrial materials, today announced financial results for the first quarter, ending March 28, 2021. Consolidated net sales decreased 3.6% to $85.2 million from $88.4 million, including a favorable foreign currency benefit of $3.0 million, or 3.4%. The sales decrease was due to the negative impact of COVID-19 on industrial end markets, partially offset by growth in alternative fuel including CNG and Hydrogen, as well as sales of military products. GAAP net income increased to $8.6 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared to $7.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share one year ago. Results include $2.7 million in restructuring and other charges, compared to restructuring and other charges of $3.0 million in the prior year period. Adjusted net income increased 16.0% to $10.9 million from $9.4 million. Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 14.7% to $0.39 from $0.34. Adjusted EBITDA increased 12.0% to $17.7 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.8% expanded 290 basis points. We are pleased to have started the year with strong first quarter results driven by solid execution and an improving global economy, said Alok Maskara, Luxfers Chief Executive Officer. During the quarter, we achieved our Transformation Plan cost reduction goal, which has yielded $26 million in annualized savings ahead of our original targeted completion of year end. In addition, we completed several strategic initiatives that positioned our product portfolio for accelerated growth. We also continued our lean working capital initiatives which delivered free cash flow of $13.8 million. Given the strength of our free cash flow and low debt levels, we have the financial flexibility to strategically invest in future growth opportunities while returning cash to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases. Segment Results (all comparisons year-over-year unless otherwise noted; results exclude aluminum products discontinued operations) Elektron Segment Gas Cylinders Segment Capital Resources and Liquidity Free cash flow of $13.8 million for the quarter, compared to an outflow of $7.0 million in the prior year. During the quarter, the Company paid $3.4 million in ordinary dividends, or $0.125 per share. Given strong cash flow, the Company restored normal levels of funding for growth and productivity initiatives. At quarter end, the Company had $31.8 million in cash and approximately $126 million in an undrawn revolving credit facility. Net debt totaled $41.2 million, resulting in a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 0.7x. 2021 Guidance While market uncertainty remains, we have gained more visibility into customer demand patterns and are providing updated financial guidance for 2021. We now expect Adjusted EPS to be in the range of $1.10 to $1.30, an increase from our prior range of $1.05 to $1.25, despite the $0.15 dilutive impact of the SCI acquisition. We retain a strong balance sheet and undrawn credit facility, which provides us the financial flexibility to continue investing in growth and exploring acquisition opportunities to build an even stronger Company, added Maskara.

CARLSBAD, Calif., June 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --Thermo Fisher Scientific and Daiichi Sankyo have expanded their partnership by signing a new agreement to co-develop a companion diagnostic (CDx) that will utilize Thermo Fisher's next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based Oncomine Dx Target Test. The CDx will be designed to identify non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) mutations who may be eligible for Enhertu, a HER2 directed antibody drug conjugate (ADC), which is currently in global phase 2 development for HER2 mutated or HER2 overexpressing NSCLC. Enhertu has demonstrated a strong response rate in patients with HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer and preliminary results show a similar response in patients with metastatic NSCLC with HER2 mutations.1-2 HER2 mutations have long been implicated in breast cancers, but they are considered a rare event in NSCLC. Recent studies have found that HER2 mutations are the key drivers in about 1-3 percent of NSCLC cases.3 Under the terms of the agreement, Thermo Fisher will retain rights to commercialize the test globally and will seek approval from regulatory agencies. The announcement follows a 2018 agreement between the companies to expand the clinical utility of the test in support of clinical trials and drug development programs at Daiichi Sankyo. The Oncomine Dx Target Test is the first targeted NGS in vitro diagnostic test approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for NSCLC. It is designed to evaluate multiple biomarkers associated with cancer and identify patients who are eligible for multiple FDA-approved targeted therapies using a single sample with results available in days. "Our latest partnership with Daiichi Sankyo is focused on helping to solve an unmet medical need for a growing number of patients with HER2-mutated non-small cell lung cancer," said Garret Hampton, president of clinical next-generation sequencing and oncology at Thermo Fisher Scientific. "This agreement underscores our continued commitment to working with global pharmaceutical partners to efficiently identify more patients who may benefit from the latest targeted therapies in their drug pipelines." U.S. FDA-Approved Indication for ENHERTUENHERTU is a HER2-directed antibody and topoisomerase inhibitor conjugate indicated for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who have received two or more prior anti-HER2-based regimens in the metastatic setting. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on tumor response rate and duration of response. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial. WARNING: INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE and EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY Interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pneumonitis, including fatal cases, have been reported with ENHERTU. Monitor for and promptly investigate signs and symptoms including cough, dyspnea, fever, and other new or worsening respiratory symptoms. Permanently discontinue ENHERTU in all patients with Grade 2 or higher ILD/pneumonitis. Advise patients of the risk and to immediately report symptoms. Exposure to ENHERTU during pregnancy can cause embryo-fetal harm. Advise patients of these risks and the need for effective contraception. ContraindicationsNone. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Interstitial Lung Disease / Pneumonitis Severe, life-threatening, or fatal interstitial lung disease (ILD), including pneumonitis, can occur in patients treated with ENHERTU. In clinical studies, of the 234 patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer treated with ENHERTU, ILD occurred in 9% of patients. Fatal outcomes due to ILD and/or pneumonitis occurred in 2.6% of patients treated with ENHERTU. Median time to first onset was 4.1 months (range: 1.2 to 8.3). Advise patients to immediately report cough, dyspnea, fever, and/or any new or worsening respiratory symptoms. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of ILD. Promptly investigate evidence of ILD. Evaluate patients with suspected ILD by radiographic imaging. Consider consultation with a pulmonologist. For asymptomatic ILD/pneumonitis (Grade 1), interrupt ENHERTU until resolved to Grade 0, then if resolved in 28 days from date of onset, maintain dose. If resolved in >28 days from date of onset, reduce dose one level. Consider corticosteroid treatment as soon as ILD/pneumonitis is suspected (e.g., 0.5 mg/kg prednisolone or equivalent). For symptomatic ILD/pneumonitis (Grade 2 or greater), permanently discontinue ENHERTU. Promptly initiate corticosteroid treatment as soon as ILD/pneumonitis is suspected (e.g., 1 mg/kg prednisolone or equivalent). Upon improvement, follow by gradual taper (e.g., 4 weeks). NeutropeniaSevere neutropenia, including febrile neutropenia, can occur in patients treated with ENHERTU. Of the 234 patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who received ENHERTU, a decrease in neutrophil count was reported in 30% of patients and 16% had Grade 3 or 4 events. Median time to first onset was 1.4 months (range: 0.3 to 18.2). Febrile neutropenia was reported in 1.7% of patients. Monitor complete blood counts prior to initiation of ENHERTU and prior to each dose, and as clinically indicated. Based on the severity of neutropenia, ENHERTU may require dose interruption or reduction. For Grade 3 neutropenia (Absolute Neutrophil Count [ANC] <1.0 to 0.5 x 109 /L) interrupt ENHERTU until resolved to Grade 2 or less, then maintain dose. For Grade 4 neutropenia (ANC <0.5 x 109/L) interrupt ENHERTU until resolved to Grade 2 or less. Reduce dose by one level. For febrile neutropenia (ANC <1.0 x 109/L and temperature >38.3C or a sustained temperature of 38C for more than 1 hour), interrupt ENHERTU until resolved. Reduce dose by one level. Left Ventricular DysfunctionPatients treated with ENHERTU may be at increased risk of developing left ventricular dysfunction. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) decrease has been observed with anti-HER2 therapies, including ENHERTU. In the 234 patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who received ENHERTU, two cases (0.9%) of asymptomatic LVEF decrease were reported. Treatment with ENHERTU has not been studied in patients with a history of clinically significant cardiac disease or LVEF <50% prior to initiation of treatment. Assess LVEF prior to initiation of ENHERTU and at regular intervals during treatment as clinically indicated. Manage LVEF decrease through treatment interruption. Permanently discontinue ENHERTU if LVEF of <40% or absolute decrease from baseline of >20% is confirmed. When LVEF is >45% and absolute decrease from baseline is 10-20%, continue treatment with ENHERTU. When LVEF is 40-45% and absolute decrease from baseline is <10%, continue treatment with ENHERTU and repeat LVEF assessment within 3 weeks. When LVEF is 40-45% and absolute decrease from baseline is 10-20%, interrupt ENHERTU and repeat LVEF assessment within 3 weeks. If LVEF has not recovered to within 10% from baseline, permanently discontinue ENHERTU. If LVEF recovers to within 10% from baseline, resume treatment with ENHERTU at the same dose. When LVEF is <40% or absolute decrease from baseline is >20%, interrupt ENHERTU and repeat LVEF assessment within 3 weeks. If LVEF of <40% or absolute decrease from baseline of >20% is confirmed, permanently discontinue ENHERTU. Permanently discontinue ENHERTU in patients with symptomatic congestive heart failure. Embryo-Fetal ToxicityENHERTU can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise patients of the potential risks to a fetus. Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to the initiation of ENHERTU. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for at least 7 months following the last dose of ENHERTU. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ENHERTU and for at least 4 months after the last dose of ENHERTU. Adverse ReactionsThe safety of ENHERTU was evaluated in a pooled analysis of 234 patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who received at least one dose of ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg in DESTINY-Breast01 and Study DS8201-A-J101. ENHERTU was administered by intravenous infusion once every three weeks. The median duration of treatment was 7 months (range: 0.7 to 31). Serious adverse reactions occurred in 20% of patients receiving ENHERTU. Serious adverse reactions in >1% of patients who received ENHERTU were interstitial lung disease, pneumonia, vomiting, nausea, cellulitis, hypokalemia, and intestinal obstruction. Fatalities due to adverse reactions occurred in 4.3% of patients including interstitial lung disease (2.6%), and the following events occurred in one patient each (0.4%): acute hepatic failure/acute kidney injury, general physical health deterioration, pneumonia, and hemorrhagic shock. ENHERTU was permanently discontinued in 9% of patients, of which ILD accounted for 6%. Dose interruptions due to adverse reactions occurred in 33% of patients treated with ENHERTU. The mostfrequent adverse reactions (>2%) associated with dose interruption were neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, upper respiratory tract infection, fatigue, nausea, and ILD. Dose reductions occurred in 18% ofpatients treated with ENHERTU. The most frequent adverse reactions (>2%) associated with dose reduction were fatigue, nausea, and neutropenia. The most common adverse reactions (frequency 20%) were nausea (79%), fatigue (59%), vomiting (47%), alopecia (46%), constipation (35%), decreased appetite (32%), anemia (31%), neutropenia (29%), diarrhea (29%), leukopenia (22%), cough (20%), and thrombocytopenia (20%). Use in Specific Populations Pregnancy: ENHERTU can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise patients of the potential risks to a fetus. There are clinical considerations if ENHERTU is used in pregnant women, or if a patient becomes pregnant within 7 months following the last dose of ENHERTU. Lactation: There are no data regarding the presence of ENHERTU in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with ENHERTU and for 7 months after the last dose. Females and Males of Reproductive Potential: Pregnancy testing: Verify pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiation of ENHERTU. Contraception: Females: ENHERTU can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ENHERTU and for at least 7 months following the last dose. Males: Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ENHERTU and for at least 4 months following the last dose. Infertility: ENHERTU may impair male reproductive function and fertility. Pediatric Use: Safety and effectiveness of ENHERTU have not been established in pediatric patients. Geriatric Use: Of the 234 patients with HER2-positive breast cancer treated with ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg, 26% were 65 years and 5% were 75 years. No overall differences in efficacy were observed between patients 65 years of age compared to younger patients. There was a higher incidence of Grade 3-4 adverse reactions observed in patients aged 65 years (53%) as compared to younger patients (42%). Hepatic Impairment: In patients with moderate hepatic impairment, due to potentially increased exposure, closely monitor for increased toxicities related to the topoisomerase inhibitor.

DES MOINES, Iowa, Dec. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --Earlier this month, Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) marked December as "National Impaired Driving Prevention Month" to help raise awareness about alcohol and drug impaired driving. Intoxalock, a leading provider of ignition interlocks, announces their endorsement of this initiative. Every December since 1981, the U.S. President proclaims December to be National Impaired Driving Prevention Month. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) routinely notes an increase in impaired driving during the month of December.

Flat Rock Opportunity Fund wins Best CLO Fund

IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --Ivantis Inc., developer of the novel Hydrus Microstent, a minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) device intended to lower eye pressure for open-angle glaucoma patients, announced today that the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) has designated the Hydrus Microstent as "Level 1, Moderate Quality, Strong Recommendation" the highest designation of any MIGS device in its 2020 Preferred Practice Pattern treatment guidelines(PPP)released during this year's annual meeting. "It's an honor for our Hydrus device to be given such an emphatic treatment recommendation by the AAO, the most respected organization in U.S. eye care," saidDave Van Meter, president and CEO of Ivantis. "Since our inception over a decade ago, one of our guiding principles has been to become the leading evidence provider in the entire MIGS space. This recommendation reflects our commitment to clinical rigor driven by our passion to develop a best-in-class device that will help the millions of people suffering from glaucoma. We are thrilled to receive the highest designation of any MIGS device as part of the AAO's treatment guidelines." "We are thrilled to receive the highest designation of any MIGS device as part of the AAO's treatment guidelines." Tweet this AAO's PPPs are evidence-based recommendations designed to identify characteristics and components of quality eye care as guidance for the pattern of best practice. Each PPP is valid for five years from the date of issue. Guidelinesare developed by theacademy'sH. Dunbar Hoskins Jr., MD Center for Quality Eye Careand are academy-approvedwithout external financial support. The guidelines are externally reviewed by experts and stakeholders prior to publication. "This marks an important and meaningful step in the validation of the entire MIGS category. Inclusion of Hydrus as a recommended procedure by AAO has confirmed what many of us in clinical practice already know, which is that MIGS is a vital part of our surgical armamentarium for managing glaucoma," said Douglas Rhee, M.D., chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology at Case Western Reserve University Hospital. "There are only three recommended MIGS procedures, and the evidence for Hydrus was rated as the strongest. This is an important validation of the Hydrus device and its potential impact for our patients."Horizon Peer-Reviewed Publication and Four-Year Data DistinctionsIvantis also announced today that the peer-reviewed journalOphthalmologypublished the complete three-year results from the HORIZON pivotal trial. The study demonstrates that the Hydrus Microstent is the first and only MIGS device to show a statistically significant reduction in risk for invasive secondary surgeries. This is the fifth peer-reviewed article on the Hydrus Microstent to be published in the industry's preeminent journal. Dr. Nathan Radcliffe, a board-certified ophthalmologist from the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, presented the latest HORIZON data earlier this week at the annual AAO meeting. His "4-Year Results from the HORIZON Trial" was selected as the best poster of the session.Ivantis has the distinction of providing the first-ever four-year complete follow-up data for a MIGS device in a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) pivotal trial (twice the duration of any other MIGS company's complete follow-up). The complete five-year follow-up data will be announced next spring.The latest findings from the HORIZON study confirm the benefits of the Hydrus Microstent reported at three years in Ophthalmology and show that those benefits are maintained through four years, notably reducing the need for invasive secondary glaucoma surgery and medications to control glaucoma. These important benefits were observed without increased safety risk associated with Hydrus surgery. No other MIGS device has presented continuous outcome data from the complete study population in a pivotal trial beyond two years.The HORIZON study is the largest prospective, randomized, controlled trial conducted for a MIGS device and the first to have a global span. The study included 556 patients with mild to moderate glaucoma treated in 38 centers in nine countries in North America, Europeand Asia. The study was designed to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Hydrus Microstent for lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucoma patients undergoing planned cataract surgery. Patients were randomized 2:1 to receive cataract surgery plus the Hydrus Microstent or cataract surgery alone. The two-year results of the trial provided the foundation for FDA approval of the Hydrus Microstent. Effectiveness outcomes exceeded those reported in any other MIGS pivotal trial, and the Hydrus Microstent was approved in the U.S. in August 2018.Key Four-Year HORIZON Data Presented at AAO: 65% of Hydrus Microstent patients remained glaucoma medication-free, compared with 41% in the cataract surgery-only arm. This represents the highest margin of total medication elimination compared to the control group reported for any MIGS pivotal trial. Analysis shows that 2.1% of Hydrus Microstent patients required subsequent invasive glaucoma surgery, compared with 6% of the cataract surgery-only patients, which represents a clinically meaningful and statistically significant difference. This finding is consistent with the HORIZON three-year data, where, for the first time in a MIGS study, a statistically significant reduction in risk for invasive secondary surgery was shown. The overall safety profile of cataract surgery plus implantation of the Hydrus Microstent was similar to cataract surgery alone, including visual acuity and endothelial cell density loss (ECL) from two to three years, and from three to four years. Long-term complications were limited to focal peripheral anterior synechiae (13%, 4.3% obstructive, 8.7% non-obstructive). About the Hydrus MicrostentRoughly the size of an eyelash, the Hydrus Microstent is a next-generation MIGS device designed to reduce eye pressure by reestablishing flow through Schlemm's canal, the eye's natural outflow pathway. When placed in the canal during minimally invasive microsurgery, the device restores the flow of fluid in the eye, using a tri-modal mechanism of action: The Hydrus Microstent creates a bypass through the trabecular meshwork, allowing outflow of aqueous humor. It then dilates and scaffolds Schlemm's canal to augment outflow. Its length spans 90 degrees of the canal to provide consistent access to fluid collector channels in the eye. The Hydrus Microstent is one of the most rigorously researched and thoroughly studied MIGS devices, with more than 4,000 cases treated globally in controlled clinical studies and registries in patients with a wide range of disease severities.About IvantisIvantis Inc. is a privately held company established in 2007 to design, develop and commercialize new technologies to treat eye disease.

Conditions such as corneal haze, corneal opacity or other conditions may inhibit gonioscopic view of the intended implant location. Gonioscopy should be performed prior to surgery to exclude congenital anomalies of the angle, peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS), angle closure, rubeosis and any other angle abnormalities that could lead to improper placement of the stent and pose a hazard.PRECAUTIONSThe surgeon should monitor the patient postoperatively for proper maintenance of intraocular pressure. The safety and effectiveness of the Hydrus Microstent has not been established as an alternative to the primary treatment of glaucoma with medications, in patients 21 years or younger, eyes with significant prior trauma, eyes with abnormal anterior segment, eyes with chronic inflammation, eyes with glaucoma associated with vascular disorders, eyes with preexisting pseudophakia, eyes with uveitic glaucoma, eyes with pseudoexfoliative or pigmentary glaucoma, eyes with other secondary open-angle glaucomas, eyes that have undergone prior incisional glaucoma surgery or cilioablative procedures, eyes that have undergone argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT), eyes with unmedicated IOP < 22 mmHg or > 34 mmHg, eyes with medicated IOP > 31 mmHg, eyes requiring > 4 ocular hypotensive medications prior to surgery, in the setting of complicated cataract surgery with iatrogenic injury to the anterior or posterior segment, and when implantation is without concomitant cataract surgery with IOL implantation. The safety and effectiveness of the use of more than a single Hydrus Microstent has not been established.ADVERSE EVENTSCommon postoperative adverse events reported in the randomized pivotal trial included partial or complete device obstruction (7.3%);worsening in visual field MD by > 2.5 dB compared with preoperative (4.3% vs. 5.3% for cataract surgery alone); device malposition (1.4%); and BCVA loss of 2 ETDRS lines three months (1.4% vs. 1.6% for cataract surgery alone).
