Both have joined the team with a singular objective of providing technical and strategic guidance on the development of the 2021 drill program (the “Program”) at the Kirkham Property.

These two highly qualified additions to our Advisory Board bring a wealth of knowledge to the table, which includes their recent experience working on major resource projects in the immediate area. Whether it is Michelle’s analytical research work at Seabridge Gold’s KSM, the world’s largest undeveloped gold project, or Mr. Greig’s latest success story at GT Gold’s Saddle North, culminating its rapid development from discovery to sale to Newmont in just four short years. Both project stories are nothing short of incredible.” He went on to add, “This is a statement of intention from the Metallis team that we are serious about developing Kirkham into the next success story in the Golden Triangle. We are extremely excited and grateful to have them on board. Their agreement to join Metallis should be taken for what it is, a confidence marker that we are sitting on a project with great potential to be the next world class discovery in the Golden Triangle.”

MOORESVILLE, N.C., April 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Lowe’s today announced its next major step as the New Home for Pros by launching a tailored store shopping experience created specifically for Pros. The Pro customer shops at Lowe’s significantly more often than DIY customers, so the upgrades were designed with speed and convenience in mind, saving Pros time and money.

The updated Pro shopping experience is now being rolled out nationwide and includes a wide array of new offerings, including:

• The Pro Zone, a dedicated area near the Pro entrance with products for grab-and-go convenience, featuring popular Pro items, specially selected and newly released products, and value packs
• Pro Trailer Parking, which features convenient extended trailer parking spots
• Free Phone Charging Stations located at the Pro Desk
• Convenience Rack with several never-before-sold items such as pain relievers, personal care items such as sun and hand care, and more
• Dedicated Pro Checkout staffed with a team of sales, cashier and loading associates—that will continue to expand—to help get Pros in and out quicker
• Flexible Credit Options that can save Pros five percent off every day on eligible purchases plus Lowe’s For Pros Loyalty Members can get zero percent interest for 60 days when using their Lowe’s Business Advantage or extended terms when using their Lowe’s Commercial Account.

In addition to these upgrades, Lowe’s introduced new technology to help associates improve their relationship with Pro customers. The new tool provides insights that help associates engage with Pros unlike ever before and ultimately help them grow their businesses.

The new enhanced shopping experience is a next step forward as Lowe’s continues to anticipate and meet the needs of its Pro customers. Lowe’s estimates that its Pro product market is more than $400 billion and is expected to grow faster than the overall U.S. home improvement market in the coming years. The company has continued to enhance its Pro offerings in recent years—in 2019, Lowe’s improved Pro fundamentals such as job lot inventory quantities and better store service. In 2020, Lowe’s launched its Lowe’s For Pros Loyalty program, continued associate training to help with specific Pro needs, announced new services such as Lowe’s Tool Rental and redesigned the layout of stores to better serve Pros.

For Pros, time is money and every stop in the workday counts. Pros will now need to make fewer stops to get everything they need from tools, convenience items and a quick phone charge in a curated experience right in their local Lowe’s store. Pros can expect to see additional offerings—such as windshield cleaning stations and free air stations for filling up tires and portable air tanks for pneumatic tools, among other specialized amenities—throughout the year.

“We want to make sure any time spent away from the jobsite is efficient and productive for the Pro customer, especially small- to mid-size companies. We’ve enhanced our shopping experience, bringing in new products and services that help add value to each trip Pros take and cut down on the number of stops they make throughout the day,” said Fred Stokes, senior vice president of Pro Sales and Services for Lowe’s. “The new offerings are the latest way we are showing our commitment to better serving Pro customers and making their stops at Lowe’s even easier.”

LONDON, April 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Smith+Nephew (LSE:SN, NYSE:SNN), the global medical technology business, is pleased to announce that its wireless, wearable LEAF Patient Monitoring System has  monitored more than 60,000 patients with over 7 million hours of use, helping to reduce the economic and human costs of pressure injuries.

While rates of other hospital-acquired conditions have declined in the US in recent years, hospital acquired pressure injury (HAPI) rates have continued to increase¹, leading to an average incremental cost of $21,767 per patient impacted.² In a randomized clinical trial conducted using the LEAF System, results showed that HAPI odds were reduced by 73%^3*, an impact which could help eliminate up to $39 billion in avoidable HAPI costs if expanded nationally.^1,2

“We’re proud that the LEAF System has reached this major milestone while driving improved patient outcomes and economic savings to healthcare systems. The LEAF System perfectly exemplifies Smith+Nephew’s purpose: using technology to take the limits off living, and to help medical professionals do the same. It is an important technology that improves the standard of care and curbs the growth rate of HAPIs,” said Simon Fraser, President, Advanced Wound Management, Smith+Nephew.

HAPIs develop when patients are not repositioned with sufficient frequency to prevent prolonged pressure, particularly over bony prominences.⁴ Studies have shown that average turn adherence using traditional methods is less than 50%^5-17 and the subsequent sustained pressure can compress tissue, impair blood flow and lead to localized tissue damage. The LEAF System helps measure turn frequency, turn angle and tissue recovery time to improve patient repositioning. It works by notifying staff when repositioning is needed according to the patient’s individualized turn schedule, meeting the new recommendations set in the 2019 International Clinical Practice Guideline for the Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Injuries.¹⁸ Facilities that have implemented the LEAF System have been able to increase their turn adherence up to 98%.⁷

First deployed in U.S. healthcare facilities in 2014, the innovative LEAF System was the first FDA-cleared device to monitor patient orientation and activity in bed-bound, chair-bound, and ambulatory patients. In addition to the recent findings, other studies have shown that the LEAF System helps nurses prioritize patient care, improves unit workflow, and saves hospitals non-reimbursed costs associated with the treatment of pressure injuries, as well as rental bed costs.^7,19-22

Smith+Nephew offers additional pressure management products designed to help facilities follow evidence-based protocols and improve clinical practice. In addition to patient repositioning, our portfolio features ALLEVYN™ LIFE Dressings, which are multilayered and uniquely constructed for protecting intact skin as part of a pressure injury prevention protocol, and the SECURA™ range of skin care products, which help maintain skin integrity and hygiene.

PURCHASE, N.Y., April 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Pepsi and MTV dropped a trailer to announce the upcoming debut of Match Me If You Can, a fresh spin on reality show dating inspired by the latest surprising perfect match – Pepsi and mango. Pepsi Mango and MTV set out to answer the age-old question – what if your favorite stars from across the reality TV universe were mixed up together for a chance to find their surprising perfect match? Produced by ViacomCBS’ in-house branded content studio, Velocity, Pepsi Mango and MTV are giving these stars another swipe at love with Match Me If You Can. The digital series is the latest innovative content concept from brand Pepsi and marks the nationwide launch of Pepsi Mango as the brand’s first permanent flavor introduction in five years. The new flavor launch also marks the brand’s first permanent release of a Regular and Zero Sugar variety at the same time, designed to support consumers’ growing preference for sugar-free offerings, without having to sacrifice great taste.

Pepsi Mango and MTV will bring together eight bright stars from the reality TV universe for a new five-part crossover dating series that pairs fan favorites from different franchises together for the first time. As seen with Pepsi Mango, it’s often the most surprising pairings that work best together. This perfect match is what inspired show producers to not only bring together two daters from different franchises in each episode, but also set them up with unexpected activities for the ultimate dating experience.

While MTV brings its own expertise in this space, Pepsi and ViacomCBS Velocity also enlisted the help of producer, industry stalwart and founder of TheYearofElan Productions, Elan Gale, to partner on the project. Reality dating show success story, Lauren Speed Hamilton, will host the series.  Match Me If You Can welcomes a diverse and exciting roster of reality veterans including Ashley Brooke Mitchell, Eric Bigger, Harry Jowsey, Onyeka Ehie, Natalie Negrotti, Kyra Green, Joey Sasso and Kylie Smith.

“I’m so excited to join Pepsi and MTV as the host of Match Me If You Can,” said Lauren Speed Hamilton. “While I was able to find love on reality TV, that combination doesn’t work for everyone. So, we’re shaking it up by bringing unexpected pairings on surprising dates to try to find that elusive perfect match, just like Pepsi Mango! I can’t wait to show the world what we uncovered!”

The first episode of Match Me If You Can will debut during the finale of the 36^th season of MTV’s hit show, “The Challenge: Double Agents,” through commercial break takeovers – a new concept from Pepsi and MTV that merges fandoms and creates a show within a show. In tandem, the first episode will drop on MTV’s YouTube channel, YouTube.com/MTV. The remaining four episodes, including the finale, will premiere on MTV’s YouTube channel, the first-ever dating show co-produced with a brand to do so. The concept of the show – bringing together unexpected pairs to create sparks and an eventual perfect match – is informed by the popularity of reality dating shows and the surprising perfect match of Pepsi Mango, which hit grocery store shelves nationwide last month and was met with surprise, excitement, and intrigue from consumers.

“With the explosion of reality dating shows and online dating apps, it’s clear people are continuing to look for new and different ways to find their perfect match. With the launch of Pepsi Mango, we also know that sometimes a perfect match can be quite surprising,” said Todd Kaplan, Vice President of Marketing of Pepsi. “That’s why we at Pepsi couldn’t be more excited to partner with ViacomCBS and MTV to create a new, unexpected and unconventional reality dating series, Match Me if You Can, bringing together some of the biggest names in reality TV for the chance to find their surprising perfect match.”

“We are so thrilled to premiere Match Me if You Can in partnership with Pepsi Mango and MTV. By leveraging consumer insights around modern dating and our creative expertise, we were able to create a fun, unapologetic digital series with an all-star cast and crew that will not only embody everything fans love in a dating show but will also authentically generate excitement and engagement around Pepsi’s newest flavor as only Velocity can,” said Matthew Newcomb, SVP, Marketing Activation, ViacomCBS Velocity. “Pepsi has been a great partner and we look forward to continuously innovating and engaging fans throughout this series and beyond.”

Match Me If You Can debuts on MTV during the finale episode of “The Challenge: Double Agents” and on MTV’s YouTube on April 21 at 8 PM ET, with subsequent episodes launching on MTV YouTube each Wednesday. To indulge consumers in one of the most satisfying activities – binge-watching – after the series’ initial debut, all five episodes will also be available on demand on Pluto TV.

ELK CITY, Idaho, April 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc., (OTC Markets: TSOI), announced filing of a patent with new data covering a cord blood based intranasal product demonstrated to reduce adverse mental effects associated with opioid addiction. 

In the series of studies, inflammation was stimulated in the brains of animals using inducers and activators of TLR4, a protein associated with opioid addiction.  Administration of the Company’s cord blood based therapeutic resulted in suppression of TLR4 as well as inhibition of inflammation in the brain.

“In recent times numerous publications have reported the link between brain inflammation and opioid addiction¹,²” said Dr. James Veltmeyer, Chief Medical Officer of Campbell Neurosciences. “By combining the regenerative effects of umbilical cord blood, with the anti-inflammatory properties of NanoStilbeneä, together with proprietary neuromodulating agents, we have created a treatment approach which appears to be safe and potently effective in our preclinical studies.”

“Campbell Neurosciences is focused not just on identifying suicidal ideations utilizing our clinically validated Campbell Score™ blood-based test, but also on providing possible solutions to prevent suicide,” said Kalina O’Connor, President and CEO of Campbell Neurosciences. “The announcement of preclinical success using our cord blood based approach sets the foundation for optimization and development of a clinically-useful approach to treat this dreaded disease.”

“Current approaches to drug addiction many times involve replacing one addiction with another one, while not addressing the root cause,” said Timothy Dixon, President and CEO of Therapeutic Solutions International, the Parent Company of Campbell Neurosciences and co-inventor of the patent. “We are glad to lend our immunological expertise to Campbell Neurosciences for the development of the world’s first immunotherapeutic approach to opioid addiction.”

DENVER and OKLAHOMA CITY, April 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Project Canary and Chesapeake Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: CHK) launched a pilot partnership to produce certified responsibly sourced natural gas (RSG) at select well pads in the Marcellus and Haynesville shales, the companies announced today.

Chesapeake Energy will produce RSG using Project Canary’s continuous on-site emissions monitoring technology and TrustWell™ certification process, which provides third party verification that the operator has utilized the highest standards and practices in all phases of their operations.

“Leading a responsible energy future is foundational to Chesapeake’s success,” said Chesapeake’s Chief Executive Officer Doug Lawler. “Through this two-basin partnership, we will be able to further demonstrate our commitment to generating shareholder value and ESG excellence. We are excited to work with Project Canary as we continue to expand our sustainability efforts and deliver top operating performance.”

The initial agreement between Chesapeake and Project Canary includes select well pads in northeast Pennsylvania and northwest Louisiana, though the partnership may be expanded based on initial findings and market conditions. Using real-time, continuous emissions monitoring at well pads, the pilot project aims to validate the high environmental standards by which natural gas is produced and that a market exists for differentiated RSG products.

A Denver-based B-Corp, Project Canary provides emissions monitoring data and related technologies, and has developed a unique wellhead to burner-tip pilot that can be used across the energy value chain – from the production, transmission and marketing of RSG.

“With our innovative technology and independent certification process, Project Canary aims to meet the market demand for sustainably developed resources and real-time emissions monitoring,” said Project Canary co-founder & CEO Chris Romer. “Chesapeake is an industry pioneer and top producer, and we’re proud to help them reach the highest environmental standards.”

This project marks more than two-dozen agreements Project Canary has entered with exploration and production companies, reflecting the strong and growing demand for the company’s innovative environmental performance solution based on trusted, independent data.

NEW YORK, April 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Color Star Technology Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: CSCW) (hereinafter referred to as “Color Star” or the “Company”) announced today that it has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Supre NFT, a diversified NFT super platform, in which both parties agreed to have in-depth collaboration in the development of future Non-Fungible Tokens (“NFT”).

Supre NFT maintains SuperTop, a diversified and integrated NFT super platform, covering NFT creation and trading, auctions, physical mapping NFT, collateral, NFT social applications, among others. The platform is built on the SupreNFT protocol and STU certification, and developed by deploying and integrating ERC-721 and ERC-1155 NFT and other protocols, such as SupreNFT, SupreART, SupreMe, and SupreFi. SupreTop aspires to be the “eBay” of the NFT world. SupreTop is a super trading and creation platform with the technology to aggregate hundreds of NFT trading platforms. It is expected to also support the creation and transaction of any NFT that has been connected to the platform with just one click, as well as support NFT casting, purchase, and sales of ERC-721 and ERC-1155 NFT, Bigdipper, BEP2, FLOW, WAX, and BSV.

In the future, Color Star expects to publish, in NFT form, the contents of its own film rights, online concert tickets, online concert videos, celebrity peripheral products, celebrity videos, music rights, and TV rights. Color Star is committed to technological development within the entertainment industry. It has invested tremendous resources and effort into research and development, and has made steady progress in the construction of augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI). This time, the Company has increased its efforts in the development of NFT, as it believes this will generate more revenue and growth potential for original copyrights and their creators. In the future, the Company also plans to develop more NFT with entertainment content.

The CEO of Color Star, Mr. Luke Lu, commented: “We are very pleased to reach a consensus on cooperation with Supre NFT. In the future, the two parties expect to have deeper cooperation in the NFT field. NFT is a sought-after new potential in the market, but there is currently limited content and IP products that are associated with NFT. Color Star does not focus on short-term objectives at the expense of long-term growth, so we look forward to developing NFT products that should allow global audiences to view more high-quality entertainment content, and in the meantime generate well-deserved returns to the original authors. Our NFT products are based on the protection of intellectual property rights and should enhance more creative potential. The stronger the quality of our creative endeavors, the more well received we expect the NFT products incorporating our intellectual property will be.”

The cooperation between Color Star and Supre NFT is expected to be a multifaceted collaboration. Both parties plan to share resources and leverage their own advantages in the areas of brand promotion, market expansion, and community building. Supre NFT’s well-rounded technology and trading platforms provide a trusted ecosystem for unique NFT to be created and exchanged, and Color Star’s robust and growing library of unique and proprietary content lends itself to truly collectible NFT. The Company hopes to use NFT technology to give users more access to copyrights and video content via digital encryption, and expects that this technology will give fans digital ownership of personally meaningful NFT. In the future, the Company expects to launch more NFT products in the scenes of AI and AR, video, celebrity products, and other sections of the Color Star APP.
