Rogers provides hundreds of phones as critical digital lifelines for Quebec women experiencing violence and abuse during COVID-19

Rogers provides phones and plans to women in crisis; extends previously donated plans by six months with second wave of pandemic

New partnership with
Fédération des maisons d’hébergement pour femmes
,
Regroupement des maisons pour femmes victimes de violence conjugale, and
Alliance des maisons d’hébergement de 2e étape pour femmes et enfants victimes de violence conjugale

MONTREAL, Dec. 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Deep into the second wave of COVID-19, Rogers Communications today announced it is providing hundreds of free phones, voice and data plans to women’s shelters across Quebec to enable connectivity for women experiencing violence and abuse. A recent report shows that since the start of the pandemic, the severity of violence against women seeking shelters has doubled, causing an urgent need to support women and children who may be facing the reality of being at home with an abusive family member.

“For Quebec women and children escaping abuse, phones and connectivity provide an essential digital lifeline that allows them to access emergency resources safely,” said Edith Cloutier, President of Quebec, Rogers Communications. “When home is no longer a safe place to be, we’re proud to help enable these critical connections for women and children so they can access critical resources from the organizations that support them.”

Expanding on a previous announcement with Quebec women’s shelters like L’Arrêt-Source and Le Chaînon in Montreal last spring, Rogers is providing hundreds of additional phones along with six months of free voice and data plans to women’s shelters across the province. The company is extending all services to the end of June 2021 to bridge connectivity needs as women are experiencing increased isolation during the second COVID-19 wave, with restrictions across Quebec.

Quebec women’s shelters receiving phones and plans include L’Inter Elles in Langelier, Maison Simonne Monet-Chartrand in Chambly, La Maison d’hébergement L’Égide in La Prairie, Le Havre des Femmes in L’Islet, La maison d’Athena in Montréal, Maison secours aux femmes in Montréal, La Clé sur la Porte in St-Hyacinthe,L’Ombre-Elle in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, Regroup’elles in Terrebonne, and Havre l’Éclaircie in St-Georges.

“It is crucial for women victims of violence, regardless of the region across Quebec, to be able to communicate easily and quickly with their loved ones, but also to stay in contact with shelter teams in case of need or danger,” said Manon Monastesse, Executive Director, Fédération des maisons d’hébergement pour femmes. “All the more so in this time of the pandemic, during which it is advisable to stay at home and go out as little as possible. Phones are tools that allow women to communicate securely and discreetly with shelters.”

“We know that the pandemic has had a significant impact on women,” said Mathilde Trou, co-responsible for political issues, Regroupement des maisons pour femmes victimes de violence conjugale. “Thanks to these cell phones, the women in our care and staying in our shelters will be able to stay in touch with their loved ones and continue their efforts, without having to worry about the minutes they have left on their phone. This is invaluable help and will be greatly appreciated.”

“A phone is a crucial link for isolated women to maintain contact with their loved ones and our support services during the pandemic,” said Gaëlle Fedida, Political Affairs Coordinator, Alliance des maisons d’hébergement de 2e étape pour femmes et enfants victimes de violence conjugale. “Having safe phone lines at their disposal, ones that are unknown to their abusive spouse, allows women to concretely move forward towards a new life without violence.”

If you are a woman living in an abusive home, or you know someone who is, you can call your local shelter’s 24/7 crisis line for advice and support. Find your local shelter and its crisis line on sheltersafe.ca/quebec.

In addition to today’s announcement, Rogers previously announced donations of 300 phones and plans to keep Quebec youth connected to mentors. These services have been extended by another six months to bridge connectivity needs during this second wave of COVID-19. This includes phones and plans to organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Montreal to allow “Littles” to stay in regular contact with their “Bigs”, Pflag Montreal for virtual peer mentoring sessions for LGBTQ2S+ youth and their families, and for virtual youth education programs offered by YMCA of Quebec and the Fondation pour les élèves de la Commission scolaire de la région de Sherbrooke.

Rapid Therapeutic Selects Clinical Research Center to Start Clinical Trials Using its Proprietary CBD and CBG Formulation

DALLAS, Dec. 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc. (OTC: RTSL) an SEC fully-reporting, growth-oriented aerosol manufacturing and marketing company focused on employing FDA-approved Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) technology to deliver cannabinoid compounds, such as CBD, CBG, and CBN, announced today that it has selected Accent Clinical Research Professionals, LLC (”ACCENT”) of Allen, Texas to administer RTSL’ first round of human research of its proprietary CBD and CBG blended MDI. RTSL expects to sign the formal agreement by December 31, 2020.

ACCENT is a clinical research center, specializing in Phase I-IV pharmaceutical and device studies dedicated to providing high quality and reliable research data to sponsors striving to advance today’s medicine while rigorously maintain the safety of patients. The principal investigator of the MDI for the clinical trials is Dr. Neal C. Lawrence, M.D. and Dr. Charles L. Powell, M.D. will be the medical advisor to RTSL.

RTSL’s CEO, Donal R. Schmidt, Jr. states, “Our decision to go with Accent (www.amrprofessionals.com) and the two physicians we chose was quite simple. Accent is known for quality and integrity which has made them a preferred provider for some of the largest pharmaceutical companies. In addition, both physicians are active in research and thoroughly believe in the long-term potential of cannabinoids for use in conjunction with modern treatment modalities. And finally, this team gives RTSL access to a patient pool of over 150,000 trial candidates in the DFW Metroplex with more than ten (10) years of medical data per disease indication.

We intend to run an eight (8) leg study looking at support for anxiety, chronic pain, ADHD, inflammation (this will include COVID-19 pulmonary rehabilitation and recovery), arthritis, insomnia, and depression. We are also discussing testing on “long-haul” Covid-19 recovery patients as well. Each study will have 50 volunteer patients with significant documented disease histories going back more than a decade. The initial protocols will focus on both objective and subjective results which will then be further narrowed for the next round of testing. Eventually, we will narrow our focus to normalize dosage relative to blood plasma levels of each cannabinoid or blend thereof.”

About Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc. (OTC: RTSL)

RTSL has developed and perfected a new method of formulating and manufacturing pressurized metered dose inhalers (pMDI) that contain and properly aerosolize proprietary formulae consisting of one or more cannabinoid compounds, such as CBD, CBG, and/or CBN. The Company’s Rxoid™ and nhāler product lines are manufactured in compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), on FDA-listed equipment. Note that while cannabinoids such as CBD, CBG and CBN are not yet approved by the FDA, under the laws of Texas and of many other states, it is legal to consume, sell and export them to legal jurisdictions.

Properly formulated MDI deliver Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) (drugs, nutraceuticals or bioceuticals) through the pulmonary tract. An MDI is generally the most efficient delivery method for an API other than an IV. In addition, MDIs are less expensive than any other route of delivery, based on the net cost per bioactive mg as tested in blood serum levels. However, MDIs are expensive to formulate and difficult to manufacture in order to deliver cannabinoid compounds to the level required by the FDA and FTC truth in labelling laws. Ideally, a properly formulated, properly manufactured MDI containing cannabinoids will deliver exactly the same dose on its first use as well as its 100th use.

RTSL’s MDIs are a safe and technically superior replacement for vape pens, mods and all-in-one products because they use no heat, function perfectly without using dangerous ingredients, and deliver a 98% bioavailable dose of CBD and/or cannabinoids directly to the systemic blood stream. This allows RTSL to manufacture a scientifically sound and superior alternative to all other cannabinoid vaping systems in a market estimated to be $5 billion in annual sales.

RTSL products will continue to be sold directly to pharmacies, physicians and other healthcare providers who treat GAD, PTSD and other stress and anxiety disorders. nhāler can be purchased online at www.nhaler.com. Rxoid™ currently is unavailable to purchase as its website is being updated. RTSL also produces white label products for select commercial clients.

Now RTSL is entering into the quickly evolving medical grade isolate manufacturing space. RTSL will manufacture CBD, CBG, CBN, and various other minor cannabinoids and terpenes under proprietary processes as it increases its ever growing list of formulas for support of various treatment regiments that physicians and health care providers are beginning to recommend in conjunction with more traditional mainstream medications

We encourage all individuals to do their own research regarding cannabinoids, the use of MDI and our products. RTSL makes no claims about therapeutic benefits of its products. None of our products are intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Always consult a physician prior to using any cannabinoid product. If you experience any adverse reaction stop use immediately and seek appropriate medical attention. RTSL’s products are not approved by the FDA or under the Food Drug & Cosmetics Act (FD&C Act).

EyePoint Pharmaceuticals Reports Positive Results from GLP Toxicology Study of EYP-1901, a Potential Six-month Treatment of Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration

– No unexpected
safety findings
during the course of
the study
–

–
On track to file
an
IND by end of year; Phase 1 clinical trial to commence in early 2021 –

WATERTOWN, Mass., Dec. 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EyePoint Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: EYPT), a pharmaceutical company committed to developing and commercializing innovative ophthalmic products, today announced positive results from its good laboratory practice (GLP) preclinical toxicology study of EYP-1901, a potential six-month sustained delivery intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment using its proprietary bioerodible Durasert® technology for wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD).

Results from the study showed no EYPT-1901-related adverse ocular or systemic toxicology findings at any dose level studied in the rabbit model. There were no changes in key ocular measurements such as intraocular pressure (IOP) and no changes in liver function enzymes as is often seen with systemic delivery of tyrosine kinase inhibitors. These results provide additional rationale for the advancement of EYP-1901 into clinical development.

“We continue to believe in the potential of EYP-1901 to be a disruptive and beneficial treatment option for patients and physicians for the long-term treatment of wet AMD. These promising safety results reinforce the potential product profile of EYP-1901 and will be included in our Investigational New Drug (IND) submission that is expected to be filed before the end of the year,” said Jay Duker, M.D., Chief Strategic Scientific Officer of EyePoint Pharmaceuticals. “Upon IND allowance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), we plan to rapidly initiate our Phase 1 clinical trial of EYP-1901 and dose our first patient in early 2021.”

About
EYP-1901

EYP-1901 is a potential six-month sustained delivery intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment for wet age-related macular degeneration. EYP-1901 combines EyePoint’s proprietary bioerodable Durasert® sustained release technology with vorolanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Vorolanib has established efficacy signals observed in two prior human trials in wet AMD as an orally delivered therapy with no significant ocular adverse events reported. Preclinical studies of EYP-1901 administered locally into the eye have shown promising anti-VEGF activity with no serious safety issues observed. EyePoint plans to submit an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by the end of 2020 and expects to initiate a Phase 1 trial in early 2021. EYP-1901 is initially being developed as a treatment for wet AMD, with the potential for future indications in diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusion.

About SunHydrogen, Inc.

SunHydrogen is developing a breakthrough, low-cost technology to make renewable hydrogen using sunlight and any source of water, including seawater and wastewater. Unlike hydrocarbon fuels, such as oil, coal and natural gas, where carbon dioxide and other contaminants are released into the atmosphere when used, hydrogen fuel usage produces pure water as the only byproduct. By optimizing the science of water electrolysis at the nano-level, our low-cost nanoparticles mimic photosynthesis to efficiently use sunlight to separate hydrogen from water, ultimately producing environmentally friendly renewable hydrogen. Using our low-cost method to produce renewable hydrogen, we intend to enable a world of distributed hydrogen production for renewable electricity and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.  To learn more about SunHydrogen, please visit our website at www.SunHydrogen.com.

New Inmar Intelligence Survey Reveals Over Half of Today’s Shoppers Have Switched Loyalty to Less Expensive Grocery Brands Since Start of Pandemic

A staggering 92 percent of respondents believe grocery brands should be doing more to provide cost savings options for consumers, suggesting that saving opportunities remains at the center of a shopper’s purchase decision

Winston-Salem, NC, Dec. 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Inmar Intelligence, a data-driven technology-enabled services company, today released new survey data, which found 61 percent of shoppers switched purchase loyalty to less expensive brands since the start of the pandemic.

Promotions continue to be top of mind for today’s shoppers as they navigate the consumer journey amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This is evident in the survey findings, as 80 percent of shoppers are actively looking for grocery deals, including coupons and promotions, and 92 percent say grocery brands should be doing more to provide cost savings options for consumers. Grocery stores that provide coupons or promotions are more likely to gain repeat business – nearly 60 percent (59 percent) of respondents choose to shop at these stores more frequently due to their promotions. 

In this uncertain climate, consumers are not afraid to try new products if it means saving money. Nearly three quarters (70 percent) of shoppers have actively searched for new types of grocery products or brands during the pandemic and 83 percent plan to purchase these new products again. Shoppers purchased these new products and brands mainly due to cost (67 percent) and because it was on sale or had a coupon associated with it (51 percent), perhaps indicating that retailers and brands must engage with customers to provide personalized and consistent promotions in this increasingly competitive marketplace. 

“COVID-19 continues to impact today’s shoppers who are searching for new ways to save money, especially in terms of groceries,” said David Mounts, Chairman and CEO of Inmar Intelligence. “The survey findings suggest that shoppers expect retailers to provide more promotions and have expressed their willingness to try new brands because of it. So it is crucial for retailers and CPG brands to provide cost savings opportunities, whether this be coupons or other promotional activities to maintain store traffic and protect customer loyalty.” 

Additional key findings include: 

  • 44 percent of respondents say the average number of coupons they redeem per week at a grocery store has changed since the beginning of the pandemic.
  • Since the start of the pandemic, 39 percent of respondents grocery shop more frequently.
  • 43 percent have used a grocery store’s mobile app to order groceries and 41 percent have used it to clip coupons.

New Kamloops Office for Ajax Project

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Abacus Mining & Exploration Corporation (“Abacus” or the “Company”) (TSXV: AME) wishes to provide an update to its shareholders on the Ajax copper-gold project, located near Kamloops, British Columbia. Abacus holds a 20% ownership interest in the project, which is managed by base metal major KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., who hold the remaining 80%.

Abacus is pleased to report that KGHM has opened a new Kamloops office for the Ajax project within the past two weeks. This follows the appointment in September of a new Ajax Superintendent, who has begun the task of First Nation, community and governmental engagement.

The Ajax Project underwent a joint provincial and federal environmental review starting in 2011, which culminated in the decision by the B.C. Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy and the Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources to decline to issue an environmental assessment certificate for the Project in December of 2017. Despite this setback, KGHM in consultation with Abacus has continued to work to advance the project, including evaluating various strategies geared toward potentially resubmitting the environmental application.

The Ajax Project contains significant quantities of copper and gold, within a NI 43-101 Proven and Probable Mineral Reserve of 426 Mt at 0.29% Cu, 0.19 g/t Au and 0.39 g/t Ag. Contained metal is in the order of 2.7 Bil lbs Cu, 2.6 Moz Au and 5.3 Moz Ag. (Wardrop Engineering Inc. 2012. Ajax Copper/Gold Project, Kamloops, British Columbia – Feasibility Study Technical Report. Doc. No. 1054610300-REP-R0004-02. January 2012).

Besides Ajax, the Company holds options and leases on the Willow and adjacent Nev-Lorraine copper-molybdenum properties in the Yerington copper camp, southeast of Reno, Nevada. Drilling by the Company in 2018 intersected a key intrusive rock unit on Willow that hosts all known porphyry Cu-Mo deposits at Yerington. This rock unit was not previously known to exist on the Company’s property, and it represents a key new discovery. The target is large and robust, and it remains essentially untested.

The Company also has a lease on the Jersey Valley gold property. The project is within the Battle Mountain trend of north-central Nevada in close proximity to both the Phoenix/Fortitude mine complex (a gold skarn with approximately 14 Moz gold plus significant Ag and Cu past production and a proposed mine life to 2063) and the Cove/McCoy Mine (a Carlin-type gold deposit with 3.4 Moz gold and 110 Moz Ag past production). Data is from the Newmont Mines and Premier Gold Mines websites. The reader is cautioned that the mineralization hosted on nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization hosted on the Company’s Jersey Valley gold property.

The technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Paul G. Anderson, M.Sc., P.Geo., a Qualified Person within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101.

On Behalf of the Board,
ABACUS MINING & EXPLORATION CORPORATION

Phillip Walford and Sherry Dunsworth awarded PDAC’s 2021 Bill Dennis Award

TORONTO, Dec. 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bonavista Resources Corp. (“Bonavista” or “the Company”) is pleased to recognise that the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (“PDAC”) announced that the Company’s Chair, Phillip C. Walford, and its Technical Advisor, Sherry Dunsworth will be awarded the 2021 Bill Dennis Award for the significant mineral discovery made at Marathon Gold Corp’s Valentine Lake property in central Newfoundland.

David Clark, President, comments: “I would like to sincerely congratulate Phill and Sherry for being the 2021 recipients of the Bill Dennis Award, which is our industry’s highest commendation for mineral discovery. Valentine Lake is likely to be Newfoundland’s next operating gold mine. This will be due in no small part to the dedication and hard work of Phill, Sherry, and the exploration team at Marathon Gold. I am proud that Phill and Sherry have chosen Bonavista Resources as their next project. It is strong support for the work done to date and our potential for discovery at Hickey’s Pond.”

About Bonavista Resources

Bonavista is a private exploration company focused on exploring a large landholding in the underexplored Avalonian terrane on the Burin Peninsula, Newfoundland. This underexplored belt has direct analogues at Hope Brook in southwest Newfoundland (First Mining Gold) and Haile in South Carolina (OceanaGold), both multi million-ounce resources hosted in the same geological terrane as the Burin peninsula rocks. Limited historical exploration by previous explorers combined with comprehensive documentation of the overall alteration system by government and academic workers creates a compelling opportunity for the discovery of Newfoundland’s next multi million-ounce gold system. The Company’s Burin Gold Project hosts several historical high-sulphidation gold showings over ~20 km of prospective geology, the best known of which is the Hickey’s Pond showing.
